Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Worry

This time, the Japanese troops at Checkpoint No. 8 really cannot be blamed.

It's not that they don't work hard, it's that the Chinese are too cruel.

The Japanese army, which was originally in a tight formation, was waiting for the machine guns of the "Tietou".

"Boom, boom, boom!" Several fireballs exploded directly on the Japanese army's position, directly blasting the Japanese infantry to tears.

What's the situation? The Chinese actually have howitzers? Baga, that's it. You said this is the remnant Chinese army in Sihang Warehouse. Who are you kidding?

It was considered normal in the past to fight an infantry squad against a Chinese infantry company, but now, we must not touch eggs with stones!

With only five rounds of artillery shells, the Japanese squad gave up. In the light of the flares, the Japanese troops fled frantically into the fields at a speed that even Lei Xiong, who calls himself a scud, could only hold back.

“Damn it, the Japanese are really good at fighting in the field! They can run so fast.” Leng Feng couldn't help but lick his lips.

“Don't sigh, everyone, get in the car and keep running away!” Lei Xiong took the monocular telescope he asked for from Li Jijin and carefully examined the Japanese position a hundred meters away. "With another three kilometers, we will basically reach the front line."

“Sir, look behind you.” Erya suddenly pointed into the distance and exclaimed.

In the dark night in the distance, bright lights line up in a row, like stars in the sky.

“Pursuing soldiers?” Lei Xiong sneered. "It looks like there are quite a few more! It seems that this old enemy has a deep grudge against us!"

“How about we stop leaving and give them a few hard blows here?” Leng Feng came over and suggested.

It's not that Leng Feng was blinded by hatred, or that he was arrogant after winning consecutive battles, but that there were currently two more powerful weapons in the queue. If he fired them accurately, they would be enough to cause difficulties for the convoy that was chasing after them crazily. The pain endured.

There are at least 30 soldiers in a truck, and most of the infantry squad can be wiped out with just one shot. How cool!

Yes, what had just defeated the Japanese troops on the front checkpoint position were the two mountain cannons that the soldiers were hanging on the back of the truck.

That was the unexpected joy when we conquered the last Japanese checkpoint and cleaned up the battlefield.

Su Huikai, who was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, was actually confused when he saw two well-preserved Type 41 mountain cannons with several boxes of shells.

The Japanese army has such two powerful weapons, why don't they use them and give them to us specially? The legendary love and death?

Of course the Japanese army is not that stupid. The real reason lies in Toyota Show.

The acting captain, who was already a little crazy, blamed all the faults on the artillery. Since they were on duty at checkpoints anyway, he simply incorporated the originally valuable and useless technical arms into the infantry sequence.

The artillery squad leader who came to checkpoint 7 happened to be on duty, adhering to the fine tradition of the Japanese Army and never staying away from his own equipment. He simply transported the two infantry guns to the rear of the checkpoint position.

Toyota Hide didn't stop it. Although the form of the security checkpoint is greater than practicality, if two cannons can be set up here, wouldn't it prove from the side that they value this task?

In fact, he almost succeeded. If there were Japanese artillery at the checkpoint at night, Tang Dao and others would be in bad luck.

Even though the distance is short, the Type 41 mountain cannon can shoot flatly. With just one shot, Tietou and his machine gun will be turned into fragments all over the sky.

It is a pity that the artillerymen were on duty during the day, and because the road conditions were bad at night and the artillery would be in trouble, the artillerymen who had been on duty for two consecutive days slacked off, even abandoning their fine traditions.

As a result, the two infantry cannons became the trophies of Tang Dao and others.

The Type 41 mountain gun with two wheels is not like an infantry gun. It has to be broken into several large pieces and transported by pack horses. When marching short distances, it can be hung on the back of draft horses and various vehicles, and can even be pushed by infantry. Only when marching long distances would they be broken into pieces and transported by packhorses or trucks.

As for the backbone of the machine gun company, although the most they are equipped with are mortars, they have also tried firing this 75-caliber mountain gun in the division artillery regiment. They cannot be said to be proficient, but they have no problem using it. Tang Dao and Lei Xiong are together. No matter whether they can be used or not, let's drag them up first.

In this way, the Japanese troops at checkpoint No. 8 became the first victims of their own mountain artillery.

To be honest, the artillerymen who leveled the mountain cannons almost as machine guns had a terrible hit rate. I don't know if they killed a single Japanese soldier with five rounds of artillery shells, but they couldn't withstand the terrifying power! It scared away dozens of Japanese soldiers, so much so that even the infantry did not fire a single shot.

It's just that even the Japanese army's position 200 meters away with mountain artillery fire has such a hit rate. Now the Japanese army convoy coming in pursuit is at least 2 kilometers away. It's night again, Leng Feng still wants to cool them down with a few shots. Then I really think too much.

Not to mention Tang Dao curling his lips, even the bones of Cheng Tieshou's men also twitched at the corners of their eyes: Boss Leng, why don't you make a fool of yourself?

Leng Feng was not stupid. Seeing that he was so arrogant just now, he was pushing the infantry gun behind the truck. Even though the artillerymen who did not express their stance collectively pretended to be deaf and dumb, they could only give up in frustration.

"There must be a Japanese army position in front of us. Driving through it along the highway like this will definitely cause a lot of losses." Lei Xiong, who has always been known for his bravery, looked at the bright car lights in the distance, but there was an unusual expression on his face. of worries.

Since the Japanese army was chasing after them, it was probably because there was a blockade in front of them, not just a small checkpoint.

Lei Xiong may seem rough and arrogant, but in fact he is quite thoughtful. He got a clue from the fact that Toyota Show couldn't wait to organize the team and pounced on him fiercely.

That's right, although the commander of the 9th Division, Yoshizumi Ryosuke, asked the combat staff to call Hide Toyoda back and asked the remnants of the 36th Infantry Regiment to be responsible for pursuing the Chinese remnants, he himself focused on the two Chinese sides opposite the 9th Division. The defense line of the six infantry divisions of the corps was up.

However, the 9th Division, which has one of the "double walls of the empire", is a sophisticated fighting machine. If the chief officer does not pay attention to it, it does not mean that the division staff will ignore Tang Dao and his little grasshoppers.

After learning that a small Chinese force had appeared on the side of his position and was running towards the battleground between the two armies in an attempt to break out of the encirclement, the 9th Division Chief of Staff Hiroyuki Nakagawa couldn't help but be furious.

Although Yoshizumi Ryosuke's intention was very clear, leaving the task of chasing the remnants of the Chinese to Toyoda Hide, he still telegraphed the infantry regiment on the front line and deployed an infantry squadron to deploy defense lines along the flanks of the Shanghai-West Highway where the Chinese were marching. , be sure to block the Chinese's return route.

Even, two Type 94 armored vehicles from the tank brigade directly under the division were mobilized, and they were ordered to cooperate with Toyota Show in order to annihilate the Chinese as soon as possible.

This is not because Nakagawa Guang has much resentment towards Tang Dao and others, but simply because 'people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong'. China's Songhu Theater Command thought that Tang Dao and others were martyred for their country, so in order to boost the morale of the entire army, they issued an order to power on. The name of "Si Xing Ying" is known to all the world.

High-level generals like Yoshizumi Ryosuke would not take the "Four Elements Camp" seriously, but that does not mean that Nakagawa Hiroshi, who is trying to climb up, would not.

In the opinion of this Japanese army colonel, being able to wipe out all the troops named by the Chinese will definitely help his future promotion.

To put it bluntly, he was unwilling to give all the credit to the unlucky boys of the 36th Infantry Regiment who were destined to return home. He had to come and get a share of the pie.

If Tang Dao continues to run along the Huxi Highway with his convoy, he will definitely run into the trap being laid by the Japanese army, as Lei Xiong worries, and will be attacked from both sides.

At that time, let alone machine guns and mountain cannons, even if you have tanks, you may not be able to escape.

The faces of the officers around Tang Dao became solemn, and the joy of passing three levels disappeared.

The collective attention is focused on Tang Dao.

Last time, he led everyone to an incredible escape from Sihang Warehouse. So this time, can he lead everyone to fight their way out of the Japanese siege?
