Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 575

Chapter 575 Divine soldiers descend from the sky! (Please vote for the New Year!)

Jiebei Village is an unknown mountain village, located at the foot of a hill that is only 70 to 80 meters high.

However, the road from Huzhou to Guangde County is only 300 meters away from Jiepai Village. Therefore, this mountain pass, less than one mile away from the village, has become a battleground between the Chinese and Japanese armies.

The two sides of the mountain pass are actually the central main position of the 433rd Brigade of the 145th Division. The entire position took a day and night to dig. According to the mountain terrain, five infantry companies dug three trenches on this mountain ridge that is nearly 3 miles wide. , resisting the invading Japanese troops from a high position.

As for the right wing of Liu Ruzhai Regiment, it was stationed on a hilltop nearly three miles away from the side and rear. There was also a small road accessible to people entering the mountain. From there, you could take a detour and take the main road about two kilometers away from Jiepai Village.

This is also the reason why a regiment of thousands of men and horses ran onto the road noisily without being discovered by the 145th Division headquarters.

In the past, it was the escape of the regiment that caused the Japanese army to enter the entire defense line from here, thus encircling the remaining more than 2,000 Sichuan troops on three sides. In the end, the entire army did not retreat, leading to the capture of Guangde County.

Fortunately, there was a shortcut, even though it was six or seven miles away from the main position of Jiepai Village. However, under the leadership of Tang Dao, the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company of the Shame Regiment ran all the way and returned to the position in only ten minutes. .

At that time, the guard company departing from the 145th Division headquarters was still one mile away from the left-wing position.

Yes, after convincing the Sichuan Army and promising that he would personally command them in the Battle of Guangde, Tang Dao immediately put it into action.

The second and third battalions, who were finally forced to express their stance, were led by Leng Feng and the first company to retreat back and merged with the main force of the independent battalion led by Lei Xiong. Tang Dao led the guard platoon, the second company of the independent battalion and the remaining first battalion of the revenge regiment. Reinforce positions they had previously abandoned.

In order to speed up, both the first and second companies walked down the mountain. The heavy firepower of each company's two heavy machine guns and two mortars amazed the Sichuan Army, which only had three heavy machine guns.

Except for the heavy firepower, the squad leaders in the infantry platoon all have submachine guns, the squad mates all have rifles, and the light machine gunners also have Japanese pistols stuck in their waists. The light firepower configuration also allows only company commanders and first-level officers to hold old sleeves. The Sichuan soldiers who were qualified to be equipped with shell guns drooled with envy.

At this point, they really believed what Tang Dao said before, "If they insist on going their own way, maybe one-fifth of them can escape into the mountains."

Such a strong firepower configuration, and they are condescending. No matter how many of them there are, they may only end up with corpses.

With such powerful comrades in arms, and the shame aroused by Tang Dao's words, the Sichuan army rekindled their fighting spirit and returned to the battlefield. They ran wildly on the mountain road with their guns in hand and were definitely no slower than the elites of the independent battalion.

This is also the main reason why they were able to arrive on the battlefield when the Japanese army launched the second wave of attack.

After Liu Ruzhai led the main force of the regiment to leave, the most desperate person may not be Lieutenant General Rao who was sitting behind the main position, but the infantry platoon who chose to stay on the position.

Because, dozens of them had to face thousands or even more Japanese troops.

No one knows whether they regret their previous 'heroic' actions because they didn't have the time.

The Japanese artillery bombardment ended ten minutes ago, and the infantry had already begun a tentative attack. However, the infantry platoon that stayed behind resolutely launched a counterattack. Nearly 200 infantrymen crawled to an area about 100 meters away from the first trench. , and after paying the price of several soldiers being killed and injured, they retreated voluntarily.

For the more than 30 Sichuan soldiers who stayed on the position, they knew in their hearts that it was not how dense their firepower was or how accurate their marksmanship was, but that the Japanese army had figured out their true and false intentions.

The next wave of attacks will be more targeted and provided with more heavy machine gun cover.

If there are sufficient troops, they can take advantage of their large number of people and use rifles and grenades to block the Japanese troops down the hillside dozens of meters away.

But now, they only have 36 people in total. The only light machine gun was left behind with a sigh when the battalion commander left. They did not dare to use it during the first wave of Japanese attacks. It was already their last trump card. .

"Platoon leader, I'm afraid!" A soldier with a black face looked at the 'shit yellow' that was about to move again in the distance and shuddered involuntarily.

“You're a turtle, but you're afraid of a hammer, Brother Pao, don't have loose stools!” The second lieutenant platoon leader, who was also short and thin, had a loud voice. When he heard the word "fear", he immediately cursed.

However, when I turned around and saw that the young soldier was so skinny that even the smallest military uniform looked too big on him, my heart felt a little soft. He was the youngest soldier in the entire infantry regiment. Because his family was poor and he had five younger siblings to support, he signed up to join the army just after he turned fifteen, without telling his family.

As a result, within a month of joining the army, the July 7th Incident broke out. Because the division commander took the initiative to fight, the 145th Division became the first batch of troops to leave Sichuan.

The second lieutenant clearly remembered that on the day he sent them off to the expedition, Di Gua's parents, who were even thinner than him and had never been out of the mountains, took his five younger siblings and walked in the mountains for two days, just to give Di Gua Send five sweet potatoes.

I heard that it was enough for their family to eat for two days.

Diguo, who was holding five sweet potatoes, cried very sadly. The parents standing next to the team even cried loudly, causing the two babies on their backs and arms to cry with snot on their faces.

The second lieutenant knew why they were crying. His parents were crying because he couldn't bear it, so his child, who was not yet an adult, had to go to the battlefield. Digua cried that he might never see his parents and siblings again in this life. After all, he was only 15 years old and had not experienced it yet. What is life and death like?

Finally, the division commander who was passing by saw him and asked the orderly to bring five pieces of silver to the family. Digua hugged the five sweet potatoes and followed the army by boat from the mountain city to Yiling, and then walked all the way to Jiangxia and Jinling.

In more than two months, the 145th Division marched two thousand miles to the battlefield.

However, before they even reached Songhu, the Battle of Songhu was already lost. Several divisions of the Sichuan Army, which were marching on iron soles, were directly thrown into Guangde after Jinling. The military orders were overwhelming, and the Sichuan Army did not even have time to replace their equipment. Came here wearing summer clothes and straw sandals.

He has been eating the five sweet potatoes of Sweet Potato until now, and there is still one in his arms. Although they are all wrinkled and about to go bad, he is not willing to eat them.

The second lieutenant understands that those are the last thoughts Little Sweet Potato has for his family. The sweet potato is still there, and the warmth of his parents, siblings is still there.

At this moment, Xiao Bing said he was afraid, of course it came from the bottom of his heart, because even he was afraid.

Who can not be afraid of death?

However, a real man may or may not do something. Among the dozens of seriously injured soldiers, there are more than a dozen from his same village and town. If he leaves them and runs away like this, the second lieutenant knows that he will live in this world for the rest of his life. In the shadows, he could not return to his hometown, where he and their parents lived.

Maybe even if his parents knew the truth, they wouldn't forgive him!

Turning around and looking around, the soldiers lying in the fighting position appeared sparsely separated by more than ten meters. Although their faces were blackened by gunpowder smoke, they could not see their expressions clearly. However, as the Japanese army began to enter the attack state, their bodies also Trembling involuntarily.

“Gua Wa Zi, I'm afraid, there is a ring that can be used!” The second lieutenant sighed slightly and gently rubbed the sweet potato's little head. "The Japanese will not kill us just because they are afraid. On the contrary, the more afraid we are, the happier they will be. Don't you think so?"

“Do you still remember Tu Gen? Did he kneel there and cry, begging the Japanese not to kill him?”

What the second lieutenant was talking about was that during the Battle of Si'an, a position of their infantry company was captured by the Japanese army. A soldier in their platoon who had no time to escape was found by the Japanese army in the trench.

Tu Gen wanted to live. He raised his hands in the air, knelt on the ground and kept crying and begging. However, the two Japs from the Jing'an Brigade in Manchuria were not only unmoved, they were even very happy. They kept kicking him and listened to his miserable cries. sounds and howls.

　　Until the end, Tugen began to scold them, and they used rifle butts and bayonets, beating him to death in front of the Sichuan soldiers who were rearranging their positions several hundred meters away and watching all this.

This is probably one of the reasons why this Sichuan Army platoon would rather defy military orders and stick to its position!

"Listen to me, if we can't stop those Japs, just use this. Wait for them to surround you and just pull the string. It'll be quick and won't hurt at all." The second lieutenant put two grenades into the arms of the soldier. Here, he said softly.

“Yeah!” Xiaobing nodded.

The grenade with its back cover unscrewed and the crumpled sweet potato were both stuck on the soldier's thin chest.

The Sichuan Army platoon has made final preparations.

Then, the divine soldiers descended from heaven!
