Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 616

Chapter 616: 'Dog' style bravery!

The Jing'an Army, which had a decisive battle mentality, was defeated much earlier than they imagined.

The nearly one-hour bombardment obviously did not cause as much damage to the Chinese defenders as they imagined. The firepower of the opponents who survived the artillery fire was also much stronger than they imagined, even if they were very careful.

The smoke that still shrouded the battlefield blocked the sight of the Chinese defenders and also obscured the eyes of the Japanese troops. It was not until 300 Jing'an troops rushed to more than 50 meters away from the main position that the two sides began to fire.

It is almost a distance that can lead to hand-to-hand combat in a few seconds, so the artillerymen of both China and Japan can only watch on the sidelines for the time being.

At this time, the advantages of the 10 submachine guns and shell guns that Tang Dao transferred to the two infantry companies of Wei Donglai and Cai Yongguan were perfectly demonstrated.

The terrifying rate of fire, far exceeding that of the Type 38 rifle, pinned the 300 Jingan troops fifty meters away and unable to move.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun located on the opposite mountain did not dare to use the previous fire coverage method to cover our own infantry at this distance. At most, only a quarter of the heavy machine gun fired firepower that was not enough to cover all submachine gun fire points. Suppression, and the grenade team that had been prepared more than 200 meters away could only blindly throw grenades into the position in the smoke. Naturally, the shooting of a blind cat running into a dead mouse would not have much effect.

It is estimated that the infantry of the Jingan Army were extremely regretful at this moment that they ran too fast and were too close to the Chinese garrison position.

The location of the Chinese defenders is condescending. A distance of 50 meters is enough for several soldiers with thick waists to throw long-handled grenades that are easier to throw from trenches up to two meters deep.

Especially Cai Yongguan, who calls himself Cai Dadao, let Wei Donglai see the banditry in this company commander who is known as the "bandit leader".

　　It is both life-threatening and jaw-droppingly powerful.

His body is as broad and thick as a door panel, and one can tell at a glance that there must be strength that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Maybe the thick-backed machete behind him can really do what he said, what is he doing? The sword can only break it in two, even if it is a piece of iron.

But his ability to shoot left and right and throw more than a dozen grenades over 60 meters in one breath is really not entirely dependent on strength. The coordinated force exerted by the waist, shoulders and back shows a very high level of training.

This is not an ability value that an infantry company commander should have at all.

Perhaps, if you switch to Tang Dao, you may not be able to do better than him. Even Lao Hei, who once won a good place in the Royal Forest Army Bomb Drop Competition, may only be able to lag behind.

And if Wei Donglai knew that in the era when caravans were cut off and lacked supplies, the young Cai Yongguan had supported a dozen and a half-year-olds by killing pheasants, rabbits, foxes, wolves and other wild animals with his bare hands. The ability is not so surprising.

Any living thing that cannot change with the changes in the environment can only be eliminated.

Proficient in throwing, and with a 2-meter-deep trench as cover, it is simply a human-shaped mortar.

Chai Yongguan, who lived up to his parents' expectations of winning the three armies, was great, so naturally the Jing'an Army was in bad shape.

The dozen grenades thrown by Cai Yongguan in one breath were equivalent to a dozen mortar shells. Although there were not many accurate targets under the threat of the army's infantry rifles, they would not be thrown directly on the army's head. However, Highland No. 3 was already Not big, and the other side is under the fire coverage of Highland No. 1. The Jingan Army can only attack from two of the curved hillsides. 300 people line up on a front line of no more than 500 to 600 meters. This formation is natural. It's a little denser.

The distance between individual soldiers will never exceed four meters.

No matter what position Cai Yongguan loses, as long as the approximate position is in the attack formation of the Jing'an Army, the probability is much higher than a blind cat hitting a mouse.

More than a dozen grenades exploded in the infantry array of the Jingan Army. After more than a dozen lying Jingan Army were blown into the air, the battalion commander of the Major of the Jingan Army, who was more than 100 meters behind the position, issued a retreat signal. Signal.

Jing'an Army dragged wounded soldiers and dead bodies, and retreated to 300 meters away in an orderly manner under the cover of its own machine guns and grenade launchers. This is obviously a tactical arrangement.

Although the firepower of the Chinese defenders is very fierce and the casualties caused to our own side are not small, the Jingan Army is by no means a fool. As the top commander of the front line, the battalion commander-level officer will never be defeated easily. They chose to retreat within a few minutes, especially after Li Shoushan issued the order to attack to the death.

This attack is not even a fire reconnaissance to find light and heavy fire points on the opponent's position, but to see how many troops the Chinese defenders can commit to the battle after an hour-long shelling.

As the front-line commander, the experienced major officer, through these few minutes of observation, estimated that the Chinese defenders on the current position were about one infantry company, and even including the reserve team, they would not exceed 300 people. judgment.

This kind of troop strength estimate has strategic guiding significance for the subsequent investment of the Jing'an Army, which has nearly 2,000 infantry in front of Position 3.

In other words, this is what Li Shoushan needs to know, even though his head hurts a little.

If the 300 defenders fight like the battle of Jiebei Village, his half-disabled infantry brigade can be called the 1st Battalion of the Jing'an Army from now on.

But it still has to be beaten. Who made Kunizaki start to stroke the dog's head "gently"! As long as he has the approval of his Japanese master and this brigade is gone, he can return to Manchuria to form another one at any time.

It is natural that he will not waste his troops on this attack which does not have much significance.

Wei Donglai did not order a counterattack. After the Battle of Jiepai, he was no longer just the infantry platoon leader who led an infantry platoon to confront a regiment of the Jing'an Army with his bravery.

In actual combat, under the guidance of Tang Dao, he also had a clear enough understanding of the Japanese tactics.

Despite their fierce momentum, the Jingan Army is still conducting fire reconnaissance. After they observe the Chinese position at close range, more precise artillery fire will come soon.

His judgment is very accurate.

Otherwise, Tang Dao would easily let an officer with only bravery serve as the commander of a highland, which could affect the lives and deaths of hundreds of people.

Leaving two observation posts again, the soldiers on the position quickly retreated through the broken communication trenches into the trenches behind the mountain.

As expected, within two minutes, the Japanese artillery group that had received the previous situation report opened fire again. However, this time the shelling only lasted ten minutes and ended. There were no mountain artillery or howitzers. Basically, direct-aimed infantry artillery was firing.

What was even more different from the previous time was that the infantry of the Jing'an Army entered the attack mode when the artillery fire started. As the artillery fire bloomed on the top of the mountain, they began to move up the hillside.

Typical infantry and artillery coordination.

The infantrymen of the Jingan Army running at the front were only 150 meters away from the top of the mountain where the artillery was blooming.

This is almost equivalent to holding a gun to your head and resisting with a knife.

With their fearless spirit, the Japanese "dogs" not only broke the limit of the Western world's infantry and artillery coordination of no less than 200 meters at this time, but were also at the forefront of their Japanese masters' use of this tactic.

“Gentlemen, congratulations to the Jing'an Army for this move!” Kunizaki in the distance looked at all this through the telescope, and couldn't help but use his white-gloved hands to high-five the imperial loyal dogs for their bravery.

This kind of almost exaggerated bravery is naturally bad news for the Chinese defenders!
