Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Everyone is here

Lying down, you can dodge bullets, but not cannonballs.

What is the result of a 22kg grenade exploding on the sand?

The Chinese soldiers on the position only saw bunches of fire, and then shrubs and human bodies were thrown away by the air waves.

But in fact, for the Japanese soldiers suffering under hell-level artillery fire, the most terrifying thing was not the air waves.

After all, everyone is lying down, and as long as the cannonball doesn't happen to fall within seven or eight meters of their sides, their lives are still guaranteed.

But the sand formed and accumulated after thousands of years of river erosion has become an accomplice to the explosive energy explosion. After being stimulated by the explosive energy, it is like countless sharp arrows, more terrifying than the flying shrapnel.

When a piece of accelerated yellow sand hits the human body, it will become a **** hole.

Here, there is nothing else but endless yellow sand.

This is equivalent to adding another bonus to the attack power of these large mortar shells, increasing their power by at least 20%.

　　Once the bonus artillery shells are fired, they often take away several lives. However, the Japanese soldiers who suffered such pain had no choice but to hide and endure it.

Because there are still countless guns staring at them. As long as they dare to jump up and run away, the ferocious bullet stream will make them lie down in the grass again.

Lie down on the sand and wait, waiting for the **** of death to ignore him or come to chat with them affectionately.

As for the Chinese artillery, it was like plowing the ground, very regularly, sweeping all the way from the left to the right of the sandbank.

The Japanese army could only watch helplessly as the scythe of death harvested them, and then were torn into pieces by artillery fire. Or, they had a chance to survive in the gap between artillery fire. Before they had time to rejoice, they saw that the mortar that had exploded in one round came from another. Fry one side over again.

The fear of waiting for death is even more painful than being directly killed by a cannon.

But the Chinese were extremely patient and seemed to have no shortage of ammunition reserves. They had no intention of launching a charge attack with infantry.

Finally, when the artillery fire once again shifted to one side regularly, the remaining Japanese troops still lying in the grass couldn't bear it anymore.

Jump up and run wildly.

Of course, they are not trying to charge.

The Chinese artillery even shut down three gunboats of the navy. Their infantry is nothing compared to others!

Escape for your life!

The sandbank is not very wide, only a few dozen meters. It allows artillery fire to wreak havoc, but it also gives the Japanese troops a very short escape distance. As long as they run fast enough, they can jump into the river and rely on their proficiency in water. Swim all the way back to the sea.

All right! In fact, no Japanese soldier has ever thought of going so far.

　　They simply want to escape from this purgatory. They simply don't want to watch themselves being bombed into the sky by artillery shells. They just want to live.

Be alive in this moment.

As for their water quality and whether they could escape, they really didn't think too much about it.

The machine guns and rifles that had been prepared for a long time were waiting for this moment, waiting for the Japanese infantry who could no longer withstand the bombardment to reveal themselves.

The blazing sound of gunfire is no less than the sound of cannon.

I don't know how many Japanese soldiers were mowed down by bullets the moment they just started.

However, because the entire sandbank was shrouded in thick smoke, the distance of 300 meters was still a bit too far for infantry. This was not a shooting range. There were still many lucky people who escaped the splash of shrapnel and the torrent of bullets. .

At least 60 Japanese soldiers jumped into the Huangpu River.

That scene was spectacular.

Just as a veteran who survived the war told his great-grandson who had just put on a red scarf the story of his fight against the Japanese:

The Japanese were so frightened that they lined up and jumped into the river with your great-grandfather and my guns in hand. I only pulled the bolt twice and shot twice, while watching helplessly a dozen Japanese devils. Jumped into the river, and then they disappeared.

“Master, they all dived and swam away?” The little boy said with regret on his face.

"Silly boys, they have big leather boots on their feet, carry magazines on their bodies, hang grenades, and have engineer shovels stuck in their waists. It's probably okay to dive, but it's not sure whether they can swim away." The veteran smiled. said.

The veteran couldn't give his grandson the most accurate answer, but having lived into the future, he knew one thing very well. Swimming fully armed, even for elite special forces, requires years of practice.

As for whether the Japanese infantry have this practice, veterans are 100% sure that they do not. According to the cavalry company sent people to the sandbank after the war to take stock, more than 20 minutes of fighting and artillery bombardment revealed that the Japanese soldiers who stepped on the wrong place had 330 corpses on the sandbank. There may still be people alive among them, but they may have been boarded on the sandbank. The murderous Chinese soldiers cleaning the battlefield were frightened.

Murderous, really scary.

So, there were only corpses on the sandbank.

As for the number of Japanese soldiers who jumped into the river in a panic and tried to swim back to the sea, the cavalry company could not count them.

Because their diving skills are good, if they jump down, they will disappear.

In the future, we all have the potential to be divers.

Perhaps only Japan itself knows.

The war report of the Tenth Army after the war described the losses caused by this reconnaissance squadron due to the wrong selection of the landing site: The 114th Division Reconnaissance Squadron, including Major Hideyuki Oyama, landed 396 people, 330 died in battle, and 65 were missing. people, 1 injured.

The so-called disappearance on the battlefield is naturally the kind of person who will never come back.

The Huangpu River is not like those small rivers on Japanese islands. In such a cold late autumn, not to mention the rapidity of the river, even the rapidly dropping body temperature can kill a person who is good at water.

Landing on the sandbank to clean the battlefield was not difficult. A few young men who knew how to swim first swam across the sandbank with ropes, nailed wooden stakes, and formed a rope bridge on the river bank and sandbank. A cavalry company climbed the rope and entered the sandbank.

It was not to count the casualties of the Japanese troops, but to avoid the trophies, which were hundreds of rifles with light machine gun grenades and the like, enough to arm an infantry battalion.

As for last-minute blows or prisoners of war, as the commander, Tang Dao is directing the artillery troops to dismantle the artillery and mount it on horseback. He believes that the Northeastern cavalry, who have had many encounters with the Japanese army, will make the right choice.

It took about half an hour to clear the battlefield, and the artillerymen successfully mounted their horses and retreated with all the loot under the protection of two infantry companies.

Tang Dao's prediction was very accurate. The four Japanese fighter planes arrived at the battlefield about 30 minutes after Tang Dao led his troops to leave. They circled in the sky for several times. Except for the sight of khaki corpses lying everywhere below, it was completely over. On the battlefield, the Chinese who are said to have artillery were not even seen.

30 minutes is enough for the cavalry to run seven or eight kilometers. And Tang Dao ordered the cavalry company to separate early. After staying away from the battlefield, he hid in the woods for temporary shelter.

Unwilling to be reconciled, the Japanese fighter planes simply flew to Songjiang City not far away, thinking that since they were coming anyway, it would be fine as long as they dropped bombs on the Chinese people's heads.

Unfortunately, Songjiang City is not the Jinshan Guard, and the 67th Army is not the extremely poor Sichuan Army or the Hunan Army. There is an air defense battalion in the city, and the remaining 6 Oerlikon single-barreled machine guns may not be as efficient as Sulotong in firing tanks. , but air defense is its strong point.

Six sudden tongues of flames startled the four Japanese planes. Before they reached the sky above Songjiang City, they shook their wings, dropped their bombs, and flew away.

However, there were several big holes left in the mud outside the city, so this trip was not in vain.

As for the three gunboats, they had been riddled with holes. Although they had not been sunk, they had completely lost power and were drifting downstream along the river.

The tactical goal has been achieved. It is no longer important whether the gunboat can be completely destroyed. When Tang Dao ordered the artillery to start turning to attack the Japanese infantry, he had already given up on three iron points.

That is probably the only thing the Japanese navy can be proud of when the Japanese navy and army are quarreling and insulting each other over the failure of the battle.

One of the three gunboats of Lao Tzu has not lost, and the blood and countless bullet holes in the ship prove the heroic bravery of the Imperial Navy. Moreover, Lao Tzu still survives 43 people on the three gunboats. What about the army of the army? How many have survived? Pull it out and let me take a look.

Such shameless remarks almost made a group of senior generals of the Tenth Army headed by Yanagawa Heisuke go crazy.

Honestly, do you still have dozens of people alive? When the infantry was being shelled wildly by the Chinese, why did you all remain silent as if you were all killed? Are your three 80mm naval guns blocked by horse manure?

Japanese Navy: In order to protect the empire's important weapons from being destroyed, our naval warriors endured humiliation and endured heavy hardships.

Japanese Army: Even pretending to be dead is considered noble by you, and you are the only ones who do it.

Japanese Navy: Few of my people died.

Japanese Army: Nima coins.
