Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 612

Chapter 612 Shortcomings

The Japanese army that entered the forest on the left flank of Position 2 was actually not just one infantry squadron, but five full infantry squads, totaling more than 260 people.

The same is true in the mountains and forests on the right wing of Highland No. 3, one kilometer away. There are also five fully-equipped infantry squads.

Kunizaki has high hopes for these 10 infantry squads.

But obviously, he was disappointed.

Not only did Tang Dao leave the seeds for his future formation of mountain special forces in the mountains and forests, Guo Shouzhi and Zhuang Shisan, who were in charge of the headquarters, fought fiercely in the mountains and forests on the left and right wings, killing Li Jijin's Second Company and Qian Da. Zhu's three companies were also sent to the battlefield.

Although the military strength is still slightly inferior to that of the Japanese army, due to the assistance of the special operations squad, or more precisely, the large number of infantry that restrained the Japanese army, the special operations squad that is better at lurking can flex its muscles.

The losses of the Japanese troops in the mountains and forests were much greater than they imagined. In the evening, after the Japanese troops finally withdrew from the mountains and forests, they took inventory and reported it to the headquarters. Kunisaki was stunned and almost fainted the Japanese major general. The Japanese army as a whole was beaten in half.

Especially the Japanese troops in the mountains and forests on the left side of Highland No. 2. Of the five infantry squads, only two came back alive after a full fight. To describe them as miserable is a compliment.

Kunizaki, who was busy with his busy schedule, personally asked the three ensign infantry squad leaders who came back alive, because the major general captain really couldn't figure out a problem. He didn't encounter a large-scale artillery bombardment or a large-scale raid by the Chinese defenders. How did they achieve such an achievement without having to conquer a fortress that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If he knew that Tang Dao was worried about the battle situation in the three highlands and left early, otherwise, with Tang Dao's strength, I am afraid that if the more than 100 people who returned had to fight in half, the Japanese Army Major General would definitely be unable to sleep at night.

This is what a sniper is for.

There is no Tang Dao, but there is Niu Er who has the heart of a warrior in the mountains and forests. Throughout the day, he almost copied the Tang Dao perfectly.

No one has a detailed count of the Japanese soldiers who died under his gun. They only know that the handle of the shell gun inserted in Kuroko's waist is covered with scratches of varying lengths.

Kuroko's MG34 machine gun is also a nightmare for the Japanese army. It seems to be an ammunition depot that never runs out of bullets. Any Japanese soldier who attempts to attack the cold gunman who has finally found the location will be killed by this ferocious ammunition depot that stays near him. 'Drown with bullets.

What's even more terrible is that there is protection in addition to protection. A precise grenade hand is also hidden nearby. If he throws several consecutive rounds of grenades, he will blow the grenade hand or machine gunner hiding behind the rocks into pieces.

And when they finally surrounded them from other sides due to the large number of people, they discovered sadly that a large group of Chinese people were already waiting for them. However, they were only a hundred or ten meters away, and the 38-meter caps in their hands could not be touched at all. It is no match for Chinese submachine guns.

You can only watch the prey that is about to be trapped leave, and then repeat the same thing farther away.

That is really a nightmarish tactic that happens over and over again.

At least half of the 140 people lost by the Japanese army were killed by this firepower team. Especially the Chinese who used Second Lieutenant Morimu as a bait before were even more terrifying. In just one hour, they were killed by torture bait. About ten people.

Crutal, but extremely efficient.

The Chinese army, on the other hand, is basically in a defensive state. It will only attack when the Japanese army dares to approach. If the Japanese army dares to approach, it will be left to the special operations team and the precision shooters in their respective infantry squads to shoot, so the casualties will naturally be much smaller.

Throughout the day, no more than fifteen soldiers were killed in the mountains and forests on both wings, and no more than ten soldiers were wounded. In terms of casualty rate, it was almost 1 to 10.

This is definitely a casualty ratio that can make Kunisaki vomit blood.

However, the Japanese army does not know this at this time, and the Chinese side will not publicize it too deliberately, so as not to irritate Kunisaki, the arrogant Japanese major general. If he goes crazy, I will kill him. Nothing else, just the more people, the more guns. Playing with you, no matter how clever Tang Dao is, he can only numb his claws.

In folk saying: a frog on a toad - an ugly flower! But you still can't do anything to him.

Several Japanese second lieutenants reported tactics that they had never encountered before to their detachment leader. Kunisaki, who was accustomed to traditional combat, was stunned when he heard this.

A single soldier, or rather a firepower team, just relied on camouflage and jaw-droppingly accurate shooting skills to wipe out three of his own infantry squads. How powerful does this have to be?

And if Ushijima was here, he would be much calmer than Kunisaki.

What a fool you are. A dozen or so years ago, a Chinese made my entire infantry brigade jump up and down. Not only did they shoot, but they also fired artillery. With one shot, an entire infantry squad lay in a pool of blood and howled. ! What a pity, how could Mitsuru Ushijima tell Kunisaki, an 'outsider', such an extremely shameful thing! Do you really think that the 36th Infantry Brigade, which is still dozens of kilometers away, is moving slowly?

Of course not, that is because the 36th Infantry Brigade has long been chilled after experiencing several consecutive defeats. Before that army has completely left, they will never rush to the front foolishly.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the senior colonels and majors from the acting brigade commander down had already reached a tacit agreement.

Looking at the defeated faces of his subordinates, Kunisaki knew that the pride of the Imperial Army had been peeled away from the hearts of his subordinates bit by bit by an unknown opponent using cruel facts.

But he had no intention of blaming these subordinates, because on the frontal battlefield under his personal command, the Chinese also gave him unimaginable blows.

His tactics were not ineffective, but the Chinese people's tenacity exceeded his imagination. He never imagined that the battlefield would look like this.

After being rubbed on the dog's head by his 'master', Li Shoushan was inspired to work hard enough. After conducting the first wave of feints and test attacks on Highland No. 3 in front of him, he started the decisive battle mode.

Before this wave of infantry attacked, he used all the heavy firepower at his disposal to bombard the hilltop.

There are a total of 10 infantry guns, 4 mountain guns, 4 105 howitzers, 20 heavy machine guns, and even 24 grenade groups that are close enough to the bottom of the mountain, pouring firepower crazy towards the position above.

The artillery fire was carried out without any regard for the cost. It had the meaning of not aiming for accurate shots but only aiming for enough shots.

Especially for the four 105 howitzers, one shot will create a crater with a diameter of nearly two meters. Not to mention the people on the position, even on Highland 1, 300 meters away from the side of Highland 3, they can feel the gas of the 105 howitzer shells. Overflowing heat.

The crazy outpouring of firepower lasted for 40 minutes.

The small hilltop of Highland No. 3 was completely shrouded in the smoke of gunfire explosions. Looking from the other two heights, the entire hilltop was completely covered by the rising white smoke, making it completely invisible. My eyes were once full of green.

Lei Xiong, who was watching silently with a telescope, looked extremely ugly. Although Tang Dao had decided on the entire battlefield layout, as the second commander, he had always been a little worried.

Highland No. 3 is the shortcoming of the entire Shuishan position.

It's not that the fortifications are incompetent, but the combat effectiveness of the defenders.

He knew Tang Dao's intention, because considering the desire of the Avenge Group to avenge their shame, if they were all allowed to serve as auxiliaries, they would definitely be unwilling and even complain. Moreover, the reason why soldiers are called soldiers is They have the unique pride of soldiers, which is something as precious as life.

So Tang Dao thought about it again and again and finally decided to hand over the entire No. 3 Highland to the defense of the two infantry companies of the Shame Regiment.

However, he was still worried that compared to the independent battalion in terms of equipment and quality of soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan infantry company of the Shameful Regiment was at least three levels lower.

I didn't expect the Japanese army to be so powerful. After a wave of exploratory attacks, they were able to find the weakest positions on the three highlands and immediately entered a decisive battle.

It is true that Lei Xiong overestimated Kunizaki and Li Shoushan. They did not find that Highland 3 was the weakest, but they were just pets who were inspired by their owners and waggled their tails more happily.

But by accident, he found the weakest position of the Mouse Mountain position.

But how weak it is, we have to fight to find out.

At this time, Lei Xiong may still have a somewhat aloof mentality of the imperial guards, which cannot be changed overnight.

Only Tang Dao, a little butterfly from the future, knows that there is no such thing as a no-brainer in this world, and a steely will can only be sharpened by the flames of war.

Plum blossom from the bitter cold!

With a will of steel, even an ordinary person can become an elite!

What determines the victory or failure of a war is always the people themselves, not the equipment.
