Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 348

Chapter 348 Someone is waiting (Part 1)

Veteran Pang Dahai's excellent spatial imagination and familiarity with the terrain of the East City battlefield allowed him to calculate the most accurate coordinates of the artillery attack.

The artillery error around the coordinate position of the signal bomb fired by Tang Dao will never exceed 20 meters. Therefore, the first unlucky person is the Japanese shooter who is crawling behind the sandbag fortification on the top of the wall.

The first mortar shell that fell from the sky exploded less than 3 meters behind him.

Another Japanese soldier was a little further away and was not injured by the shells, but the threat of the shells made him make an instinctive judgment and hid deep in the fortifications with his rifle in hand.

Tang Dao's two biggest threats are gone.

As artillery shells fell one after another on the battlefield, the rest of the Japanese army no longer cared about chasing Tang Dao and looked for positions to avoid the artillery fire.

Only Shiqiao Xinyi still stood there in despair.

From the moment the first artillery shell fell on the city, the Japanese captain knew that he had lost, and he had lost completely.

All his calculations seem so ridiculous now.

That terrible enemy had already calculated everything, even the artillery.

He only thought about two steps, but his opponent thought about four or five steps.

It is not unjust for him to be defeated by such an enemy.

It's just that why such a powerful person exists in such a weak China, it's really frustrating!

The Japanese captain's thinking remained in a deep state of unwillingness.

He almost deliberately sought death and succeeded. A palm-sized shrapnel splashed out from a mortar shell that exploded seven or eight meters away from him cut his neck diagonally. The terrible kinetic energy generated by the explosive made the shrapnel It passed through the neck like a knife cutting through butter, and then came the shock wave of the shell. The body fell down, and the head was weirdly turned back.

There was only a little flesh left on the entire head connected to the torso, and the spurted blood was absorbed by the loess before it had time to bloom.

The legs didn't even twitch much, and they fell into silence.

The method of death was basically similar to that of Hashimoto Kingoro, but his death was much cleaner.

His boss is surprisingly tenacious.

According to later Japanese battle reports: After the sudden bombardment by the Chinese, 13 people from the 13th Infantry Regiment Headquarters Guard Squadron, including Captain Nobuyoshi Ishibashi, died on the spot. But what is surprising is that the soldiers responsible for searching the battlefield turned out to be It was discovered that Colonel Hashimoto Kingoro was still alive. But his injuries were too serious, and he died on the way to the field hospital after being simply bandaged to stop bleeding!

On the night of November 8, after the death of Lieutenant General Hisao Tani, the division chief of the Sixth Division, another Army Colonel was killed in battle.

According to investigations, the Chinese who assassinated the two of them was actually the same person, and has long since disappeared.

It is said that the roar of the always gentle Major General Sakai Tokutaro seemed to be heard even by the defenders within the city wall hundreds of meters away.

This frightened the guard squadron stationed outside the headquarters to expand the warning range by 200 meters to the city.

What if the attacker is still there?

The attacker is of course gone.

If he had waited until daytime, Tang Dao would not be able to die even if he had ten lives.

Tang Dao had already calculated his escape route, as long as the methods of his carefully selected friends in the artillery squad were not so crude.

Fortunately, Pang Dahai and his gang did not disappoint him. Except for three artillery shells that exploded on Tang Dao's way of escaping, the splashing shrapnel and gunpowder smoke almost sent Tang Dao away. Fortunately, there were still remaining trenches for Tang Dao to avoid.

However, although it was dangerous, it also completely blocked Tang Dao's figure, and the Japanese army completely lost their target.

The other nine are all behind Tang Dao, which is also where the Japanese army is.

Twelve hard-hit artillery shells allowed Tang Dao to escape from the battlefield where it was almost impossible to survive.

The twelve artillery shells bombarded by his order awakened Songjiang before dawn. Both the Chinese and Japanese armies were alert and staring at the opponents on the opposite side, but they did not know that a burly "Japanese soldier" was there. He sneaked into the ruins under the cover of darkness.

It's just that this time Tang Dao didn't want to sap the Japanese. He just needed to find a way to leave. The guard camp was still waiting for his return, and the two generals were also still waiting for him.

In other words, there is a beautiful woman waiting for news of his safe return.

Yes, within the Songjiang headquarters, although neither of the two bosses took the initiative to mention Tang Dao's name, after the armistice between the two sides at night, one was pacing back and forth, and the other was staring at the battle map with a gloomy face, and the two bowls of meat brought by the adjutant. The silk noodles were kept cold until no one touched them. When the war in Dongcheng was at its most urgent, Commander-in-Chief Wu, who was sitting at the headquarters, did not do this. A major general and brigade commander came to report to the commander-in-chief on the frontline war. Seeing this, he pulled the major adjutant outside the door and asked him to persuade the commander. Take this opportunity to rest for a few hours.

After all, the decisive battle in Songjiang has just begun. If we continue to fight without sleep, what else can we do if the bodies of the two top commanders cannot hold on until the battle is over?

“There is still no news about Battalion Commander Tang who went on a secret mission!” The adjutant had no choice but to tell the major general and brigade commander why the two commanders were extremely anxious.

"That's it! If you have any news about Battalion Commander Tang, remember to let me know." The Major General Brigadier couldn't help but feel nervous.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he could only turn around and leave, giving up the idea of persuading.

Tang Dao's name had already spread among the army a few days ago when he was promoted to lieutenant colonel commander of the Four Elements Battalion. However, only those who get along with him and see him fight with their own eyes can understand how outstanding and brilliant he is.

Whether it is the city defense design or the dazzling battle of Cangcheng, they were all done by his hands.

Although the city defense fortifications, which used the strength of the entire army to stun hundreds of people day and night, failed to withstand the bombardment of the Japanese large-caliber heavy artillery, they kept the battle damage rate of the defenders below 30%, which was almost impossible in the past. unimaginable.

The 67th Army fought several tough battles with the Japanese army in North China. Not to mention the Japanese army's use of heavy artillery brigades, even the 105 howitzers equipped by their divisions came over. The battle damage rate of the front-line troops was around 40%. The entire company The entire company of soldiers and the position they had worked so hard to construct were blown to pieces.

But the range of our own 75mm mountain gun is about 6000 meters, which can't even reach the edge of other people's 105mm howitzer.

So, we can only give up our position and retreat! Retreat again!

Without experience, you won't understand the sadness of fighting against steel with flesh and blood!

Escape all the way south!

The vast North China Plain was completely lost in just two months.

If we withdraw again, we will reach the Central Plains!

So, the 67th Army, which was frustrated in the North China battlefield, came to the southeast battlefield, and then came to Songjiang. The Northeast Army must prove to the whole of China that they do not want to retreat, even one step.

Tang Dao helped them do it. From the time the Japanese troops arrived and fired artillery on the afternoon of the 6th, to the night of November 8, for two full days and nights, Songjiang City was destroyed, but the people were still there.

The major general brigade commander located in Nancheng District still has 4,000 troops in his hands. He has to thank Tang Dao for this. If it weren't for the excellent city defenses, he might be so excited that he would burst into tears now that he still has 2,000 troops in his hands.

The defensive battle of Cangcheng led by Tang Dao was not brutal enough to set a benchmark for Songjiang's entire army to fight to the death, but its brilliant use of tactics opened up new ideas for the major general and brigade commander.

It turns out that the war can still be fought like this.

Losing the position is not terrible. As long as the artillery is still there, we will risk our lives if we come barefoot. If you have the courage to come, I will be able to accompany you to be bombed together.

So much so that the Japanese vanguard had already boarded the city several times. As long as a few artillery shells were thrown here, the Japanese troops retreated like a tide, for fear of being covered by another Chinese artillery fire.

In fact, there is so much artillery fire coverage, let alone the artillery shell inventory does not allow, to use the artillery positions that have already lost one-third of the entire army, you must ask for orders from the headquarters. Until the last moment, this kind of combat method It is no longer allowed.

But the Japanese army was still afraid.

This is the mentality of those who have the upper hand. I've almost won, how can I die?

Tang Dao didn't know that he had quietly become one of the most important figures in Songjiang City. Not only did the two lieutenant generals and commanders stay up all night waiting for him, but several generals who were qualified to know his whereabouts also wanted him to return safely.

Of course, there are people in Songjiang City who care more about him.

The great reporter from Tantai Mingyue has been writing and working in the room where the communication camp is located, but she refused to go back to her exclusive rest room even though she had already sent the written article by telegram.

Tantai Mingyue has been sitting on the pony in the corner, polishing her Browning pistol by the dim lantern.

Incomparably serious, careful, over and over again, even the bullets are polished brightly.

But in fact, everyone knew that she was uneasy.

The dim shadow of the lamp cast her slender figure on the ground, swaying slightly as the autumn wind blew in, giving her an indescribable melancholy.

Stopped by the look of the communications battalion commander, the signal soldiers did not disturb her.

But they knew that the Tantai reporter should be waiting for some important telegram or phone call.

Where she sat was very close to the field radio and telephone.
