Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 446

Chapter 446 Lone Tomb

The simple fortifications are not as simple as those of Songjiang City. Whether it is the 6.5 kilogram grenade of the 75 Mountain Cannon or the less than 4 kilogram shells of the 92 Infantry Artillery, as long as the machine gun fortification is hit head-on, the machine gun fortification, the firearms in it, and the human body will be swallowed up by the artillery fire.

"You will die if you hide, and you will die if you don't hide! Brothers, fight them." The sergeant shooter responsible for shooting one of the machine guns roared and sat on the machine gun shooting chair.

The machine gun made a heart-stopping "dong-dong-dong" roar, shooting the Japanese soldiers crossing the river with blood splattering everywhere. Some people were even cut into two parts by the shells and fell into the water in two.

　　The inhuman and shrill scream of the Japanese soldier who was unable to die for a moment not only made his colleagues' hair stand on end, but also made the scalp of the Chinese soldier on the opposite side feel numb.

How much pain does it have to hurt to make such a sound?

The artillery shells and heavy machine guns fired against the ferocious Japanese artillery fire set off a **** wind on the creek, pushing the Japanese infantry back to the other side of the river.

But the result of this is that the heavy firepower point continuously displays its position to the artillery observers on the Japanese position.

The Japanese mountain artillery unit was not equipped with a radio, but the infantry artillery was already close to the front line 1,200 meters away. The communication troops kept running wildly on the front line and artillery positions, constantly reporting the coordinates of the front line artillery observers to the Japanese artillery.

Infantry artillery fire is becoming more and more accurate.

The bravest sergeant, in the fifth minute after suppressing fire, had just emptied 7 shells, and an infantry shell hit the front of the fortification.

Three layers of sandbags could not stop the bombardment of the small-caliber direct-aiming cannon. Although the sandbags, which were more than one meter thick, were not completely penetrated, the air waves caused by the explosion of the shells that penetrated deep into the sandbags caused the machine guns to sit on them. The shooters lifted off the ring fortifications.

Several auxiliary soldiers responsible for loading artillery shells were also hit by shrapnel and fell down one after another. In a machine gun fortification, except for the soldiers who were hiding in the trenches next to the fortification and were responsible for transporting artillery shells, almost all of them were wiped out.

In addition to the fire support company of the guard battalion, the ten machine guns and several heavy machine guns allocated to the two guard battalions were supported by the men and guns, and were not counted as people from the guard battalion.

However, if someone is risking his life for him, how can he just watch and ignore it?

Even though they knew the danger was great, there were soldiers from the nearby guard battalion who braved artillery fire and rushed out of the trenches to save him.

However, before they even climbed to the side of the sergeant who was pinned down by the machine gun, several soldiers shed tears.

The high-raised barrel of the machine gun was twisted into a twist by the air waves. Can the sergeant who was also swept by the air waves still survive?

But this is only one of them.

The reason why they were not allowed to remove the heavy machine gun from the sergeant shooter was that it could not be moved.

The brave gunner is dead.

But even though he was dead, his arms that were burnt to a crisp by the air waves were still tightly holding the control rod of the machine gun, and his neck was weirdly twisted, hanging on the wreckage of the machine gun.

Like, hugging one's lover.

If they wanted to move away, they would have to break his arms.

It can only be placed there first.

This posture was retained until after the war.

It is extremely strange that God did not give him good luck during his lifetime and did not allow him to escape the intensive artillery fire of the Japanese army. But after the sacrifice, unexpectedly, not a single shell came near his remains.

Tragic and tragic.

This scene was drawn by Tantai Mingyue, who followed Tang Dao on the hills after the war, with a pen on the title page of his private diary.

As she wrote in the notes on the side of this sketch: "The hill is extremely small, but it is the most tragic scene Ming Yue has ever seen in her life. This warrior and his weapons are integrated into one of them. It is only one of them that I drew here." Descendants of the Chinese race, his body is a monument to this battle!”

Yes, when the machine guns and heavy machine guns placed on the hill ignored the Japanese artillery fire and killed the Japanese infantry, the frontline commander of the 36th Infantry Brigade, Kanda Masanee, also noticed this, which was named by the Chinese government after the war. "Lone Tomb" hill.

“It seems that the Chinese have placed most of their heavy firepower there in an attempt to shoot down our infantry from a high position.” Kanda Masane's face was as dark as water. "It's just that the Chinese are really crazy to leave heavy firepower positions alone outside their defense lines."

He lowered his head and carefully looked at the combat terrain map drawn by the combat staff based on battlefield observations, and asked in a deep voice: "How many of the three infantry squadrons of the 47th Infantry Regiment supporting our army have been put into the battlefield?"

“Your Excellency, Wing Commander, one has already entered the battlefield, and two infantry squadrons are on standby in the rear.” A combat staff officer looked at the battle report and answered hurriedly. "Then let them be responsible for attacking the hill. Our artillery will provide fire cover for them. An infantry squadron on the right flank of our 45th Infantry Regiment will also send out two infantry squads to cooperate with them in the attack." Kanda Masanee No longer looking at the map, he turned to face the battlefield, and a cold voice came: "Also, tell them for me, I don't need casualty figures, I just want results. If 500 troops still can't take that hill, their two army captains Just commit seppuku!”

The Chinese may not know that for the 1,500-meter defense line, the Japanese army once deployed four infantry squadrons in one wave of attacks, but for an inconspicuous hillock, Kanda Masane deployed two and a half infantry squadrons at once.

But on that hill, there was only one guard company of 150 infantrymen and less than 50 machine gunners.

Furthermore, during the crazy bombardment by the Japanese army, one machine gun squad has lost its combat effectiveness, and more than a dozen infantrymen were injured or killed.

The number of Japanese infantry participating in the attack was three times that of the defenders on the hill. In the distance, there were even more Japanese infantry in reserve, although the Japanese had no intention of doing so.

Whether it was the view of the army commander Kanda Masane or the two Japanese captains on the front line, 500 troops, with the support of artillery, was enough.

But they were wrong, all of them.

If this blocking battle in the wilderness was the most brutal battle against the Japanese in the entire Jiashan area, the battle that took place on this hill with a height of more than ten meters, 200 meters away from the right front of the Chinese trench defense line, was The most tragic.

　　　"Golling" has the advantage of height, but as Kanda Masane said, the small river that blocked the Japanese army's advance also separated the small hill from the Chinese defense line with trenches on the other side of the river.

If the Chinese on the defense line want to support the hills, they must also cross the five-meter-wide river.

So, the Japanese army, which had observed the terrain for a long time, used six heavy machine guns and nearly ten grenade launchers to block the river.

Although the two Japanese infantry squadrons that circled the other side of the hill were unable to cross the river because the Chinese army quickly maneuvered to the flanks, they continued to fire flares and blocked the Chinese army's support path.

That also means that from that moment on, the more than 100 Chinese soldiers on the "Lone Tomb" were alone.

In addition to the side directly facing our own defense line and the other side that can be covered by light and heavy machine guns, the other two sides are all within the control of the Japanese army. At the very least, they will be besieged by the Japanese army from both sides.

But the Japanese army adopted a three-sided siege more resolutely.

Two infantry squadrons will attack from two sides that cannot be covered by firepower from the trenches. On the side, the two infantry squads that have gone around first will conduct a decoy attack.

This not only involves the energy of the Chinese defenders on the hill, but also exposes the Chinese defenders' light machine gun fire points located in the direction of the trenches.

To this end, the Japanese army deployed no less than 15 grenade launchers more than 300 meters away, and carried out frantic attacks on the exposed firepower points of the Chinese side.

Still the old routine, after the artillery fire covers it, there is an infantry attack.

The Japanese infantry attacked from three sides, and they were all yellow and squirming under the hill.

"Each platoon attacks on its own, don't wait for my order!" Scar Zhao, who was personally sitting on the hill, poked his head out of the trench and looked at the densely packed Japanese infantry. There was no fear in his eyes, and he growled an order to the signal soldiers around him.

Quietly retracting into the trench, he took a breath and gently placed the six magazines filled with bullets in the most convenient position. There was not much expression on his face, but the scar on his forehead appeared in the flashing firelight from time to time. Like a living centipede, twisting slightly.

Obviously, his mood was not as calm as he had just shown.

Facing the almost crazy offensive of the Japanese army, the major was equally frightened.

Fear that I will never be able to return to my hometown.

Even though it was his own choice to sit in this extremely important position.

Stingy old Zhou wanted to fight with him, but he blocked him.

Lao Zhou, you have four children to raise! Damn it, how can his wife be so fertile? Did Lao Zhou take any medicine? This may be what Scar Zhao has always wanted to ask but didn't have time to ask.

War is like this, leaving too many people too late!
