Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 541

Chapter 541 Captain Ironhead (Part 2)

In the end, Captain Tietou, who was lying in the mud and listening to the Japanese troops retreating, did not issue any orders.

A fire support company that had set up its machine guns and loaded its heavy machine gun ammunition belts just watched helplessly as a heavily armed Japanese troop passed by it.

At this moment, I don't know how many people felt in their hearts that Cheng Tietshou had failed to live up to his nickname of 'Tietou', which was mentioned every day by Deputy Leiying.

It seems that when the nickname "Tietou" is mentioned, the first-class sergeant squad leaders who have followed him for the longest time have a lot of stories about the "Tietou Company Commander".

He said that he once braved the saturation bombardment of the Japanese mountain artillery and personally held a heavy machine gun to suppress and fire at the Japanese troops crawling 500 meters away. After the war, the steel helmet on his head was damaged in at least five places. The traces of shrapnel hits are iron-clad and indispensable.

He once sat on the machine gun seat and fired at the swooping Japanese aircraft. The bullets from the Japanese machine gun had already hit the steel shield in front of the machine gun, causing sparks to fly. As long as he was not so lucky, a bullet would jump. Even the bullets could send him away while sitting in the shooting position, but not only did he miraculously survive, he even beat up the enemy plane.

But it was such an army captain with enough legendary stories that when faced with the possibility of attacking his comrades, he gave up and lay down in the mud, listening to them go away until there was no sound or a word. .

It's not that Captain Tietou's head is not strong enough, or that Captain Tietou doesn't dare to sacrifice, but that when he had to make a difficult choice, the Japanese helped him make the decision.

Because, he was surprised to find that the Japanese army was not advancing towards the location where the battle broke out at high speed as he imagined.

The direction where the Japanese army was advancing at high speed turned out to be our own station.

Which one do the Japanese play?

Captain Tietou's thinking was absolutely chaotic at that moment.

Although the wilderness he was in was still dark, there were a lot of noises. In addition to the heavy footsteps of the Japanese troops gradually retreating, there were more dull explosions of artillery shells coming from the direction of the main position several kilometers away.

The red light flashing across the sky from time to time proves that the Chinese and Japanese artillery groups in the direction of the main position are unwilling to be lonely and are shooting at each other. If nothing unexpected happens, this is similar to what was expected before the war. The main infantry of both sides are restraining each other. Dare to mobilize at will.

On the flank battlefield, only the independent battalion will be active.

Closer, apart from the unclear sounds, the constant "bang bang" muffled response should be the sound of the continuous explosion of 82-caliber mortar shells, which means that the three infantry companies in the front have joined the enemy.

But instead of cooperating with their friendly forces to fight, what did the Japanese army want to do by going its own way towards the station? This is unreasonable.

Captain Tietou tried hard to sort out a logical line from the extremely chaotic thoughts, while thinking hard about what he should do.

Finally, he calmly made the decision not to attack the Japanese invaders for the time being, and returned with the entire company.

Because, he judged that the target of this Japanese army was the flank position.

Yes, although this possibility is somewhat absurd, but combined with the fact that three infantry units were connected to the enemy and the stubborn direction of the Japanese army, Cheng Tieshou made his own judgment. They wanted to sneak attack the Japanese artillery regiment, but The Japanese wanted to dig out the roots of the independent camp, and then two groups of soldiers with no good intentions met unexpectedly in this central area.

As for why this group of untouched and fast-running Japanese were so stubborn in moving towards the target even after the friendly forces were engaged by the enemy, Cheng Tietsou couldn't figure out the reason even if he wanted to break his iron head. .

But this is not important. What is important is that there is an artillery company and a mortar battalion in the direction of the Japanese army's advance. Fortunately, there is also a guard platoon of soldiers guarding them. Otherwise, this Japanese army would use the darkness to arrive quietly, and everyone would be stunned. If the artillery troops come into close combat with them, the losses will be huge.

Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, and Leng Feng are all the most outstanding soldiers Cheng Tieshou has ever seen, and the three infantry companies are all lightly armed. Even if they cannot defeat the Japanese, they should be able to run away without problems. Therefore, Captain Tietou finally made up his mind to return to the army to follow the Japanese, join the artillery company and mortar battalion, and kill this wave of cowardly Japanese.

No, perhaps the baggage company left at the garrison must also be added.

Five minutes after the Japanese troops left, Cheng Tieshou called in the only guard squad under his command. He simply drew a few places on the map to indicate where his fire support company would arrive, and then ordered them to be divided into two groups. All the weapons and equipment were left behind, except for the Southern Type 14 pistols issued to the shooters. They passed through the maneuvering wings of the Japanese army to notify Pang Panghai, two kilometers behind, and Chief of Staff Zhuang further away, to gather the independent battalion. All the remaining troops surrounded the Japanese army in the wilderness, and no one could escape.

The results after the war proved that Captain Tietou's decision not to give up Tietou this time was indeed one of the most rational and brilliant decisions in this encounter.

Even Commander Tang Battalion was forced to conduct self-examination at the post-war summary meeting because of the joint proposal of Li Jijin and Yang Xiaoshan.

Although the battalion commander of Tang Dynasty rushed into the enemy group like a cheetah and killed several Japanese invaders, which greatly boosted his own morale and eliminated the fierce Japanese invaders in one fell swoop, he drove them into the wilderness and was shot by a machine gun to reduce his own casualties, but as a The highest military officer of the independent battalion always takes the lead in this way, but it is a kind of torture for a company commander-level officer like Li Jijin.

What if there is an accident? On the battlefield, there is no such thing as invulnerability. No matter how powerful Tang Dao is, as long as he is unlucky, a small stray bullet can kill him. The death of the highest military officer in front of the soldiers was undoubtedly a huge blow to morale. It is very likely that the entire army was defeated as a result of the original victory. Even if Tang Dao died, he would still have to bear this responsibility. .

This is still the simplest truth. The higher the position, the greater the responsibility.

In the past, the battlefields were either surrounded or chased by the Japanese. A strong man like Tang Dao was needed to move forward bravely and boost the morale of the entire army to fight a way out. But today is different from the past. More and more people are following him. Perhaps from Tang Dao The moment he became the backbone of more than a thousand people, it was already destined that he would never be able to make decisions based solely on his own wishes as he once did.

Li Jiujin and Yang Xiaoshan plucked up the courage to point out the mistakes of Battalion Commander Tang Da, and the participants unanimously agreed. Battalion Commander Tang, the highest officer, was attacked by his subordinates for the first time, so he could only hold his nose and make a self-examination. He also promised that, without special circumstances, he, the supreme commander, would never appear in a hand-to-hand combat scene.

Although Battalion Commander Tang also played a word game and only said that he would not appear at the scene of hand-to-hand combat, but did not guarantee that he would not appear on the front line, but compared to him who always picks up the knife and does it himself, that is already a big improvement. The officers are already considered Very satisfied.

All officers know that their fate is already involved with Tang Dao. Even if they die, as long as Tang Dao is still alive, their families will be properly accommodated, but if Tang Dao dies, there will be nothing. .

The decision made by Captain Tietou was very wise, but it was only after giving up Tietou.

But as his trophy, Captain Yunan Mimoto is completely tough.

As the only infantry squadron selected as the vanguard of the 47th Infantry Regiment, Yuuo Sanmoto has been holding his breath.

In other words, with the former colonel commander of the 23rd Infantry Regiment acting as the brigade commander, everyone in the 47th Infantry Regiment felt abandoned. To replenish supplies and move heavy troops into the front-line units, the 47th Infantry Regiment, which suffered the heaviest losses, had two to three hundred fewer soldiers than the 23rd Infantry Regiment. To replenish supplies, the 47th Infantry Regiment did not see even a candy figure, although the 23rd Infantry Regiment heard that It's hard to say, but once the seeds of jealousy are planted, it will be original sin as long as I don't have it.

Furthermore, the top commander of the vanguard is also from the 23rd Infantry Regiment, and Mimoto Yuo is even more unhappy.

Hence, from the moment before departure, Mimoto Yuo turned off the specially issued field radio and kept silent, waiting until he reached the Chinese defense line before turning it on again.

Morita Shinji, what a ball! That's a second-rate guy.

With a sense of resentment, Mimoto Yuuo almost didn't let his soldiers repair, and ran five or six kilometers in one breath, far ahead of the other two stupid infantry squadrons. He must let the idiots of the 23rd Infantry Regiment see. Look, who is the most elite infantryman of the Sixth Division.

Yuuo Mimoto, who was so hard-headed that he was almost losing his mind, didn't even pay attention to the sound of gunfire coming from the distance. He strictly followed the battle plan made before the war and moved towards the goal.

His philosophy is that there is no main force of the Chinese here. Even if they encounter a small group of Chinese who are second-rate, it will not be a big problem to deal with the Chinese, not to mention there are three infantry brigades behind them!

If a sneak attack fails, then attack by force.

Anyway, he wants to be the sharpest knife.

This may be the most stubborn infantry squadron captain in the history of the Sino-Japanese War.

More than 200 Japanese troops, led by him, plunged into the encirclement of the stubborn independent battalion.

The artillery company and heavy mortar battalion that received the news unexpectedly raised their muzzles high, and the reconnaissance platoon entered the simple trench to prepare. The baggage company sent two baggage platoons and rushed to the battlefield with all their strength.

More than 900 troops gradually formed a large encirclement.

Of course, what's more fatal is not the strength that far exceeds that of the Japanese army.

Rather, it will be a battlefield that gathers all the heavy firepower of the independent battalion, plus 10 150 mortars.

Let alone a reinforced squadron with around 200 men, even an infantry brigade would probably be beaten to pieces.
