Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 435

Chapter 435 The Heart of a Warrior

Although it was proved after the war that the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade, from the brigade commander to the regiment commander, ordered the active bombing of artillery, this was a stupid move, which saved the Chinese a lot of trouble.

However, Sumita Raishiro's unconventional move is still effective in the early stages of the battlefield.

He allowed his numerous artillerymen to temporarily gain a foothold.

The Chinese cavalry who were preparing to rush forward were forced back by the huge fireballs that kept rising one after another.

The placement of Japanese heavy artillery is stricter than the Japanese army regulations. The distance between each cannon is as high as 80 meters. Otherwise, a total of 72 heavy artillery would not require a wide position of nearly 200,000 square meters.

But even on such a wide position, the explosion point formed by the detonation of a cannon almost covered an area of 60 to 70 meters.

Gong Shaoxun sized up the situation and pulled the reins. The horse, which had reached half speed, turned around. The racing cavalry followed suit, avoiding the terrible explosion of ammunition.

The cavalrymen have a desire to die, but advancing under the constantly exploding rain of steel is just a waste of time.

Tang Dao and others, who had just bombarded the Japanese position with a 150-meter heavy artillery piece, were also shocked by the self-mutilation behavior of the Japanese army.

"The Japanese are crazy! It's understandable that the position we were about to occupy was bombarded with artillery. Why did we start bombing on our own before our people there arrived?" Guo Shouzhi, who had been following Tang Dao, was also stunned.

He knew that the Japanese were cruel, but the Army Major could not imagine that they could be so cruel to him.

"Because of the speed with which we broke through the position and fired two more shots from their artillery, they misjudged the situation and thought we were a large-scale force. They were afraid that the artillery would fall into our hands and be used by me, so they were so decisive!" Tang Dao's mouth curved into a smile. "That's good. It saves a lot of time for our unit. Moreover, we only have so few people, and we don't even have a few artillery. Why do we need so many cannons? Two of them are enough."

"Erya, fire a signal flare and notify the cavalry to return. They are no longer needed to attack the Japanese positions. The rest of the work is left to the infantry. At the same time, inform them that they are responsible for bringing the remains of the dead soldiers and the wounded to the rear, and Arrange the equipment and wait for the next order." Tang Dao looked at the fireballs flashing in the sky, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire. "Also, pass my military order to inform all ministries to speed up the attack. In this battle, we must not only blow up the Japanese artillery, but also kill as many artillerymen as possible, and then the whole army will return to support. Over there, Lao Zhao and Lao Zhou estimate We will soon encounter the Japanese army."

Two green signal flares shot into the sky. Gong Shaoxun led the cavalry to turn around again, turning around the Japanese anti-aircraft gun position they had just attacked.

Part of the cavalry dismounted and searched for equipment abandoned by the slain Japanese troops in a messy position.

Of course it can only be the 25mm machine guns and artillery shells that caused them a lot of casualties in the previous charge. The remaining Type 38 rifles and Southern 14 pistols are no longer within their consideration.

Until the entire position was invaded by high-speed cavalry, the Japanese army had only assembled a total of four twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns. In order to increase the speed, the cavalry almost gave up their hot weapons and rushed in brandishing their sabers just like the ancient cavalry. position.

Four anti-aircraft guns that can spray out deadly flames are naturally the focus of the attack. The anti-aircraft guns that have lost their shooting range are no longer as good as burning fire sticks at that moment. What is even more tragic is that the Japanese artillery has almost no self-defense weapons. Facing the iron hooves and sabers running at high speed, Without any resistance, all the Japanese artillerymen near the anti-aircraft guns were killed with sharp sabers, and the anti-aircraft guns were left intact in their original places.

The other two well-preserved machine gun parts that were still in wooden boxes were also found by the cavalry. The Japanese army's meticulous maintenance of the weapons was amazing. The barrels exuded a faint blue luster under the afterglow of the flares, and were filled with the smell of butter. smell.

All six 25mm machine guns were captured by the Chinese cavalry. The only difficulty was how to move these big guys weighing 200 kilograms.

While Lu Sanjiang and dozens of cavalrymen searched for the remains of their fallen comrades on the battlefield.

Yes, there are almost no casualties, and all we are looking for is death.

A human body shot by a large-caliber machine gun will not only be shattered into pieces, but the sheer loss of blood will take away the person's life within ten minutes.

Even if a war horse is hit by a cannonball, falls from a high-speed moving horse and is crushed by a heavy horse corpse, the chance of death is as high as 90%.

The cavalrymen all had soft pouches on their saddles, which were specially used to rescue the wounded, but at this moment, almost all the bodies they carried were the remains of their comrades.

How come they are all dead and there is no one alive? Just give me a living one! Lu Sanjiang's eyes were red as he watched his comrades carrying the remains into soft bags and hanging them on the horses.

"Come on, come on! The forest is still alive." A soldier's surprised voice came.

Lü Sanjiang, who was in the distance, ran with all his strength, and the twenty or so cavalrymen surrounding him also quickly surrounded him. The cavalryman named Lin Zi is quite famous among the cavalry. He is considered the pistachio among the cavalry. Lin Zi, who is only 22 years old, was born and raised in the Northeast. His father and brother are both two-person entertainers. They established a troupe and performed all over the three provinces in the Northeast. Although his life is not rich, he still has enough food and clothing. The teenager has been trained all year round and has a unique skill of playing two-person roles.

However, the September 18th Incident broke out, and the entire Northeast was occupied by the Japanese.

Life was completely changed, and the troupe was asked by the Japanese to disband because of its frequent movement within the province, but this was only the first step in the fall of ordinary life into the abyss.

Because of their unique skill of double-turning, Lin Zi's father and brother were forced to entertain the Japanese at a banquet. After an inconspicuous performance mistake, the two were severely beaten by traitors who attached themselves to the Japanese. Throw it naked on the street.

What is winter like in Northeast China? Extreme humiliation and coldness entered his body. A few days after Lin Zi pulled his father and brother back on a cart, his father and brother, who had always been strong, died tragically one after another.

Lin Zi, a young man full of hatred in his heart, escaped from the Northeast and found the remnants of the Northeast Army. He joined the army and became a cavalry two years later. Although he was not the bravest one, with a few two-person tricks after training, he could make most of them. The cavalrymen who came from the Northeast felt at home and were always taken care of by the cavalrymen.

How could the cavalry not be overjoyed to hear that he was still alive?

Lu Sanjiang was so happy that his chest almost exploded. They were soldiers from his cavalry squad. Because he led the charge forward, two of the six-man cavalry squad had already been lost in this battle. Now they can still recover them. One, more than half of them are alive at least.

However, when everyone moved away the body of the war horse that was pressing down on him, Lin Zi's eyes were already turning white, and blood was spurting out from his mouth.

Lu Sanjiang touched his chest in great panic, only to find that his once strong chest was not only limp, but also collapsed downwards, indicating that the sternum was completely broken.

“Lin Zi, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't fall asleep, I'll take you to a military doctor!” Lu Sanjiang held back the tears in his eyes to comfort the soldiers whose lives were hanging by a thread.

“Brother Sanjiang, I'm so cold!” The young soldier held Lu Sanjiang's arm tightly around his body, feeling breathless. "I want to go home, back to the Northeast."

“Take off your clothes and cover him.” Lu Sanjiang turned around and shouted.

However, he found that the fellow soldier who was unbuttoning his clothes suddenly froze.

Looking back, the young soldier's head was already hanging down, and the blood spurting from his mouth was flowing down in front of him.

It's just that there is no breath at all.

The soldier who hoped to avenge his father and brother died.

His military career was not a brilliant one. Even if he harbored deep hatred, he did not have the courage to kill several Japanese soldiers on the battlefield. His best record was to assist his fellow soldiers in killing two Japanese soldiers. He had never cut off the head of a Japanese soldier with his own saber.

Even in this surprise attack, he fell on the way to the charge before he had time to carve a mark on the handle of his sword, which was the glory that can only be obtained after killing an enemy with his own hands.

However, who can say that such a soldier is not brave enough? From the moment he puts on his military uniform and steps onto the battlefield, he is a brave Chinese.

It is precisely because of the existence of tens of thousands of ordinary Chinese soldiers that China can bravely show its sword when facing invaders one dimension above itself.

Courage is always born in the ordinary and dies in the extraordinary.

“I'll take you home, take you back to the Northeast!” Tears finally fell from Lu Sanjiang's eyes, and he murmured to himself as he picked up the increasingly heavy body of his comrade.

　　The hand that had been holding his arm tightly just now drooped down.

Home is the destination!

No matter what it becomes!

The heart of a warrior will also be soft and fragile when death comes.
