Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 606

Chapter 606 Silly dog!

The Japanese army did not take any action. Of course, they would not give up because their face was splashed with dust by their own drones.

Under Kunisaki's telegram, Li Shoushan, as the top commander of the Japanese front line, made what he thought was the correct deployment.

Before the main force of the Kunisaki detachment arrived, he needed to find the breakthrough point of the triangular defensive position deployed by Tang Dao through battlefield reconnaissance.

From a geographical point of view, of the three highlands, two of them tightly block the simple road from Guangde to Wuhu, and there is another hill on the flanks of these two hills, which firmly protects their sides and rear. Live, that is to say, just conquering a high ground will still not provide enough protection for the highway.

Heavy machine gun bullets and mortar shells fired from any hilltop will have enough destructive power on people and vehicles walking on the road.

Three highlands must be conquered.

The farthest straight-line distance between these three highlands is 600 meters, and the nearest is only more than 200 meters.

According to the most commonly used tactics of the Japanese army, Li Shoushan could send out a group of infantry to attract the attention of the defenders on the highlands, and then send a large number of infantry to use the cover of dense forests and shrubs to penetrate through the gap between the two mountains, and then use a roundabout tactic, back and forth. Outflank and annihilate the Chinese defenders occupying the hills.

Two days ago, Li Shoushan would definitely choose to do this.

But at this time, he didn't have the courage.

In the battle of Jiepai Village, the two infantry companies he sent did a trick of bypassing the flanks. Not only did they not attract the Chinese to mobilize their troops, they were also beaten by the Chinese defenders who were defending against the mountain. His face was covered in blood.

The terrible battle damage rate was almost higher than when facing the enemy head-on. If he hadn't considered that it was the right time to employ men, Li Shoushan would have definitely shot the captain and infantry company commander who fled back with a look of death on his face.

He even suspected that it was a trap specially left for him by the Chinese commander, just waiting for him to take the bait and kill him.

Pain makes people grow, don't tell me, Li Shoushan is actually smart.

Of course, several highlands cannot be a closed circle. Where there are peaks, there will naturally be valleys. Tang Dao has more than 2,000 men. In addition to this, auxiliary units such as artillery and baggage troops are also needed. There are a total of 13 infantry companies and one The fire support company also needs to set aside enough reserves. Of course, there is no way to spread the troops over a battlefield with a radius of more than one square kilometer.

Therefore, he did not send infantry for protection in some locations with rugged mountain roads and dense forests, even around Highlands No. 2 and No. 3 on both wings.

However, in order to prevent the Japanese army from being timid and not afraid of the dense forests and dangerous roads, they sent small groups of troops to reconnoiter the terrain or carry out sneak attacks, so they still kept enough eyes in the mountains and forests.

The two special operations teams under Gu Xishui's command, as well as Lao Hei's guard platoon, are his eyes.

The special team is not yet a real special force, but it has the prototype of special operations. Especially after entering the mountain in the future, mountain special operations will become the norm, so this time the anti-reconnaissance and anti-infiltration in the mountains and forests Combat will become their new classroom.

Tang Dao can teach them how to shoot and use the terrain, but the battlefield intuition developed in life and death cannot be taught by Tang Dao. They can only rely on themselves to understand it again and again in complex battlefield environments.

There is no passing or disqualification, there is only life or death.

If you want to become a powerful special warrior, this is the only way for them.

It is extremely cruel, but it is a natural choice.

For their commander Tang Dao, the special team only has seven people, and there will inevitably be battle losses. He must have enough reserves to ensure the combat effectiveness of this elite team.

The guard platoon is the reserve members he reserves for the special squad. If they are good enough on the battlefield, he can expand the special squad in the future and turn it into a special squadron.

Tang Dao will equip this group of elite warriors with the best equipment he can collect, so that they can maximize their effectiveness in the mountains and become the sharp knives that the Japanese invaders will fear.

But the premise is that they must come back alive from the battlefield.

Gu Xishui, Lao Hei, Niu Er and others were lurking in the mountains and forests on both sides of Highland No. 2 and Highland No. 3, waiting for the Japanese army to take the unusual path.

In order to satisfy Major General Kunizaki, Li Shoushan spent a lot of effort this time. He not only sent hundreds of his men into the dense forest to conduct long-distance observations of the three highlands of the Chinese defenders and hand-drawn terrain maps.

He himself, escorted by an infantry platoon, climbed up a hill less than 500 meters away from Highland No. 3, and observed with a telescope for a long time.

The military uniform on his body was scratched by thorns, his hair was hung with thorns, and his face was scratched with several bloodstains. That was how Guoqi looked when he saw Li Shoushan when he arrived at the front line.

If he hadn't heard from the staff at the frontline headquarters that Major General Li had personally gone to conduct battlefield reconnaissance, Kunizaki would have thought that Li Shoushan had gone to steal someone else's daughter-in-law and was beaten up!

From the owner's point of view, the fighting ability of a 'dog' may not be good, but loyalty is a must.

A dog that tries hard to shake its head and tail will end up being patted on the head.

"Yo Xi! Li Jun, this is yours! The empire needs talents like you." Listening to Li Shoushan's personal report and the hand-drawn map placed on the simple combat table, Kunizaki did not hesitate to praise him.

"This is what Shoushan should do. Your Majesty the General, you are so complimentary!" Li Shoushan's face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were full of tears. He just barely moved his hips a few times.

If he wasn't afraid that Major General Kunizaki would spit out "Wow"! However, if you touch a dog's head, it's still a dog's head, and Kunizaki is not a fool.

As the commander of the Major General Brigade of the Fifth Division, he has conquered the vast land of Pingjin and defeated the seemingly extremely powerful 29th Army with more than 100,000 troops. He has rich battlefield combat experience.

The three highlands in front of him, which had been dug up almost overnight and were filled with intricate trenches, made him instinctively feel the danger.

To conquer these three highlands that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, what he needs to pay is the blood of the imperial infantry. As a general, his duty is to shed as little as possible.

The identity of the enemy army on the opposite side has been figured out. It is the 145th Division under the Chinese 23rd Group Army. It is a miscellaneous army called the 'Beggars' Army by their own people. It has average equipment and extremely poor quality of soldiers, but its fighting will is extremely high. Strong, as proven in the battle at Jiepai Village.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength!

So, as the Kunisaki detachment's army suddenly arrived, Kunizaki, who had more than 10,000 troops under his command, did not rush to start the attack.

Rather, under the afternoon sun, in front of the Chinese soldiers on the position, they began to allocate troops and build field camps.

The Kunisaki Detachment has 6 infantry brigades under its command. In the Battle of Songjiang, more than 1,000 people were lost in the battle. In the end, they were basically replenished by soldiers from the baggage troops.

Therefore, among the three highlands, Guozaki sent four infantry brigades under his command to serve as the main offensive force on Highlands 1 and 2. Highland 3 still chose to trust Li Shoushan, and the 1st Brigade of the Jingan Army was the main attacker.

After Li Shoushan's painstaking reconnaissance, this area, in addition to the three highlands occupied by the Chinese, actually also has hills. Therefore, the Japanese army chose to build their own heavy machine gun and infantry artillery positions on the nearby hills, so that they could attack the infantry. While providing cover fire, you can also shoot upwards without having to work hard.

It's just that it's not that convenient for them to dig trenches or build heavy machine gun fortifications on the top of the mountain.

The company commanders on the Chinese side who were stationed on the mountain were watching every move of the Japanese army with telescopes. When they saw that they wanted to establish a position of the same height in the forest hundreds of meters away, they certainly would not remain indifferent.

Because there is cover in the woods, the result of a heavy machine gun sweep will not be very good, so use mortars!

There is no need to cover it with artillery fire. As long as you observe movement in that forest, shoot a few rounds. It won't kill you, but it will scare you to death.

In Leng Feng's words, just by being disgusted, it will disgust you to death.

For the Japanese army, this is what it felt like.

It is difficult to walk in the forest. If you are not careful, the thorns of thorns will be pierced into your flesh. You still have to dig with an engineering shovel. You are sweating in the middle of winter. When the mountain wind blows again, the taste is so sour. So cool.

Forgetting this level of dissatisfaction, they are just soldiers!

But the Chinese still come to join in the fun, throwing a few cannonballs over from time to time. Those things can really kill people! Hit by death, hit by death!

As soon as I hear that 'Whoops! ' The scream of the shells being ejected, no matter whether it was the Japanese soldiers working there, their instinctive reaction was to immediately fall to the ground, even if there was **** in front of them.

After all, the distance between the two sides will not exceed 1,000 meters. Even if the mortar shells fly slower, they will arrive in a few seconds.

Eating **** can't kill people, but cannonballs definitely can.

When the Chinese fire artillery, the Japanese army, which has infantry artillery, mountain artillery and even 105 howitzers, will of course fight back.

But that was obviously of no use to the ball. The Chinese mortars were all hidden behind the mountains, and they were playing slingshots.

Despite the Japanese retaliatory artillery bombardments that exploded on the hilltops, the Chinese defenders' mortars still jumped out from time to time to show off the Japanese infantry who were working hard.

That's really colorful.

red!

The Japanese infantrymen who were unfortunately caught by the artillery shells were all bleeding, and they were either dead or disabled.

The whole afternoon was basically the same pattern.

The Japanese artillery fired hard, and the Chinese artillery showed its presence from time to time.

The Japanese infantry who were responsible for building fortifications played a game of "kissing" the earth in the mountains and fields according to the rhythm of Chinese artillery fire.

Project progress is unprecedentedly slow.

Even late at night, many Japanese infantrymen did not get a chance to rest and were still fighting hard against the ground.

I'm so tired!

The Chinese dog 'Hammer' fell asleep early!

Anyone who doesn't sleep at night after being tired during the day is a stupid dog! Hammer, who has become accustomed to the battlefield, probably thinks so.

PS: I have been busy for most of the day today, and I have been writing since I came back. Sorry for the late update!
