Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Another blood debt!

In fact, the Japanese troops at the checkpoint were fully prepared after receiving the call.

Not only were there field fortifications, but positions were also built in the dilapidated buildings and residential buildings around the checkpoints.

But they didn't expect that the Chinese were so ungrateful in martial arts. Even when running away, they would carry big killers like machine guns. Shells and grenades were thrown at them for free, and the bullets were used to cover the attack in a prodigal way.

Songhu houses are typical Jiangnan houses. The walls are made of blue bricks. Not to mention the machine guns with terrible penetrating power, in fact, even rifle bullets with a size of 38 can penetrate.

These simple fortifications are really weak in the face of such firepower.

All the infantry were suppressed and did not dare to raise their heads. The only two grenade groups were brave enough. After firing several grenades for test firing, the Chinese mortars began to fight back.

Use a 50mm caliber grenade to fire against someone else's 82 caliber mortar? Stop kidding me! What's more, there are countless grenades serving as accomplices!

When more than a dozen consecutive rounds of artillery shells and grenades exploded around the grenade launcher, the Japanese army's grenade launchers were completely silenced.

As the two heavy machine gun fortifications and the shooters hiding behind them were swept into a pile of fragments by the machine guns, the end of the Japanese army also came.

Two infantry squads that detoured from both sides of the road successfully approached the Japanese infantry position. More than a dozen grenades swirled in the air and landed on the heads of the Japanese infantry hiding in the simple position.

The Japanese infantry, which was already small in strength, collapsed.

Lie down and get bombed by grenades. If you don't lie down and fight back, you will be shot by the opponent's machine gun. No matter which choice you make, you will die.

At this moment, they finally realized the helplessness of their opponents in the past two months of fighting.

　　It's not that their opponents don't know how to use tactics and can only defend in the trenches, but that their firepower is suppressed and they can only fall into passivity, just like they are now.

In fact, not only the light and heavy firepower were suppressed, but the firepower configuration of the two infantry squads that came round also made the Japanese troops who withstood three consecutive waves of grenade bombardment despair.

A single-shot rifle was directly shot into a dog by a submachine gun with a 32-round magazine at a distance of 30 meters.

The entire battle ended in less than three minutes. Only a few Japanese soldiers saw that the situation was not going well and took the lead in fleeing into the depths of the ruins at night.

Ordered the two infantry squads to take a minute or two to clean the battlefield. The horses and barbed wire fences were moved away. Tang Dao still acted as the driver of the lead car and turned the front of the car over and entered the cleared road.

However, a small accident caused the convoy to stay in place for at least five minutes. After that, the convoy continued to run along the road.

2000 meters away, in a complete field headquarters.

Yoshizumi Ryosuke, commander of the Japanese 9th Division, was staring at the field map on the wall and thinking hard. The faint sound of artillery in the distance made him frown involuntarily.

Stepping out of the headquarters, I judged the direction of the sound of the artillery fire. It turned out that it was behind the army's position, and my face was even more ugly.

“Go and check, that's where the regiment is located over there.” He waved his hand and asked the division and regiment headquarters staff officer who was following him to check.

“It seems to be the 36th Infantry Regiment over there.” The staff captain had a good memory.

“36th Regiment?” The Japanese Army Lieutenant General was slightly startled. It was a very familiar formation, but it definitely should not be under his command.

“The 3rd Division belongs to it, and it was not good to capture the Sihang Warehouse in the past few days.” The captain's staff reminded in a low voice.

“It turned out to be those idiots.” Yoshizumi Ryosuke suddenly realized, and also remembered this group of unlucky guys who had been sent to the Kunshan front line by the 3rd Division and were directly under the dispatched army headquarters.

“Then ask their current regimental commander what happened to their defense area and why there is still gunfire.”

Not long after, the captain's staff brought the answer Yoshizumi Ryosuke wanted. The acting commander of the 36th Infantry Regiment, Toyoda Hide, responded: It was discovered that there were more than a hundred remnants of the Sihang Warehouse defenders. They attacked the 16th Division's baggage team and seized ten cars. They fled to the western front line of Shanghai. Our checkpoint No. 7 was fighting fiercely with them. Our infantry regiment has assembled its forces and will annihilate them.

“Haha, it turned out to be the victim of the 36th Infantry Regiment!” Ryosuke Yoshizumi couldn't help but smile after reading Toyoda Hide's call.

Don't look at the Sihang Warehouse defenders who made a lot of noise in the past few days, but that is just influence. In terms of combat effectiveness, there will be a Japanese standing division commander in charge of nearly 30,000 troops. In your eyes?

Not to mention the mere 100 remnant soldiers in Toyoda Hide's call back, the entire 524th Regiment, with more than 2,000 people in each regiment, may not be worthy of the attention of this majestic Army Lieutenant General of the Empire of Japan.

"Then let's do it! Although Fujita Susumu inherited some of his style under the command of that idiot Susumu, at least there is still some Imperial Army bravery left. If you know your shame and then be brave, let them handle it themselves." Yoshizumi Liangsuke waved his hands and paid no attention to the sound of gunfire that alarmed him.

"Oh, by the way! Call them back and tell them that if they can wipe out the remaining Chinese army, I will put in a good word for them to General Matsui Iwane. If they need help, please contact Mr. Nakagawa."

Obviously, Yoshizumi Ryosuke is in a good mood at the moment, and he wants to send warmth to the 36th Infantry Regiment, a group of unlucky people whose grandmothers don't love their uncles, and who don't even want their parents anymore.

The moment Hide Toyoda received this message from the 9th Division Headquarters, he was able to hold back his tears. He was very restrained.

But the Japanese Army Lieutenant General did not know that his message could push a group of unlucky people into the abyss again.

Originally, after the battle at Sihang Warehouse, the 36th Infantry Regiment only had more than 900 people, excluding the wounded soldiers, including the artillery squadron, baggage squadron, and the big cats and kittens of the squadron directly under the regiment, and could barely form an infantry brigade. preparation.

Nearly 400 people were sent out from 8 checkpoints, and there were only more than 500 people left in the garrison. After receiving a call back from the 9th Division Regiment Headquarters, Toyoda was excited. In addition to leaving two small teams to stay at the garrison, the remaining 400 people were left. The numbered people all put up their guns and went to settle accounts with their enemies.

You have a fortress and I can't defeat you. Now it's a field battle, and I still can't defeat you? Besides, I still have several times your strength.

Perhaps not only Toyoda thought so, but also the hodgepodge Japanese infantrymen organized into two infantry squadrons probably thought so.

The 9th Division was very helpful. Not only did they help with words, they also specially transferred 15 trucks to them from the division's supply squadron not far away from them. Toyoda Shu also drove all the three-wheeled motorcycles in the camp, and the huge convoy was Such a grand departure.

No one thought that the day would come when the 36th Infantry Regiment would first become an infantry brigade and then an infantry squadron.

That is definitely one of the most tragic infantry regiments in the history of the Japanese Army.

One of the reasons why I say this is because the war has only started for three months, and there is still a long time to come. China, which has been beaten down, is not so easy to mess with.

Toyoda Hide worked extremely hard. It only took fifteen minutes from gathering troops to setting off, but he was still late.

By the time he arrived at Checkpoint No. 7, there were only corpses waiting for him.

However, the steaming blood flowing all over the ground reminded him crazily that the Chinese had not run very far, and he could still catch up.

“Pursue with all our strength, notify checkpoint No. 8 again, and stop them at all costs.” Toyoda ordered through gritted teeth.

The blood debt has been added to the list!

It's just that the number one man in the Japanese Army, who served as the captain of the regiment with the rank of major, really looked down upon the soldiers under his command who had been chilled.

But to be honest, although they have been beaten into pig heads in Sihang Warehouse, and the combat effectiveness of the scumbags of the 36th Infantry Regiment is two levels worse than before, their arrogance towards the Chinese army's continuous victories over a long period of time is not the same. So easily wiped out.

Just look at the formation of Major Hide Toyoda and his 400 men rushing toward them. The 36th Infantry Regiment is currently very weak, but it is by no means so weak that it dares not even fight.

But the No. 8 checkpoint that Toyota showed high hopes for still failed him.

PS: Brothers who have seen this, remember to vote if you have votes. Currently, it is fourth on the military monthly vote list and second on the recommended vote list. Can it go further?
