Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 647

Chapter 647 Death Oil Painting

There are no minor injuries among those who can enter the cave treatment center. They are all seriously injured.

　　There was no tragic scene where someone raised his stump to salute because the superior officer came to visit him, only painful moans and a pale coma.

Even there is no pungent smell of disinfectant in the medical clinic. The strongest smell is the smell of blood mixed with the smell of liquor.

Fortunately, a lot of medicine was seized in the battle to annihilate the Sixth Heavy Artillery Brigade. Otherwise, half of the more than a hundred wounded who could only lie on the cold ground would have been reduced by half without waiting for Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others to arrive. people.

Even so, when Tang Dao and Lei Xiong walked gently among the wounded soldiers, they still saw two nurses gently covering the faces of two of the wounded soldiers with white sheets.

The two female nurses were sobbing softly, trying their best to suppress their sadness.

This is their job, to save lives, but they are constantly facing death.

Risking life and death, trying your best, but in vain, medical care in the battlefield is by no means easier than on the front line.

Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and others stood quietly beside the wounded's bed, bowing their heads in silence.

However, in such an atmosphere, Tang Dao saw a few familiar faces that made him happy.

They are all still alive. Although they are in critical condition, they are still breathing, which means there is still hope. This is the happiest thing for him today besides the night attack on the Japanese artillery positions.

After leaving the cave, the deafening cheers outside gradually stopped. Tang Dao told what he saw to the man who was still at the entrance of the cave but had already begun to eat canned beef and flatbread potatoes. He patted him on the shoulder: "You lead the way, we will Go and take a look at the positions of your Seventh Company and Ninth Company."

Hearing that his brothers were still alive and well, Tudou's spirits improved a lot. But when he heard that he was going to Highland No. 3, tears welled up in his eyes again. .

But soon, the sixteen-year-old young soldier became strong and led Tang Dao, Lei Xiong and other officers towards Highland No. 3.

Behind them were hundreds of people from the Avenging Regiment as a reserve team.

That is also the meaning of Tang Dao.

The tragic battlefield is certainly heartbreaking, but it is also the most soul-shaking classroom.

A brave person will not be frightened by sacrifice, but will only be inspired by it.

Hundreds of soldiers stood on the top and slopes of the small No. 3 Highland.

Because, under the command of Tang Dao, the four infantry companies of the Independent Battalion, the revenge regiment, the artillery company, the special agent company, the baggage company, the fire support company, all the battle orders under Tang Dao's current command, except those who are still performing security missions, as long as Those with legs are basically found around Highland No. 3.

At the bottom of the mountain, there were even more people, more than a thousand people, standing in rows, filling the entire foot of the mountain neatly.

In fact, there are not that many places to stay on the small Highland No. 3.

After receiving the news, Lieutenant General Rao and Major General Tong also rode horses and led the guard troops from the station five or six kilometers away.

The two Sichuan infantry companies that were damaged in the battle on Highland No. 3 can be regarded as their direct subordinates, and they must come.

If the Japanese fired a burst of artillery at this time, they would attack hundreds of Chinese who had not killed many in a day.

It's a pity that they now have no 105 howitzers and no field guns. Even if they know that the Chinese are gathering at risk, they can only stare.

Otherwise, Tang Dao would not have done this.

Except for the sound of earth excavation on the top of the mountain, the nearly two thousand people on the top, hillside, and foot of the mountain were all extremely quiet.

Their silence was due to both shock and respect.

Everyone knew that the fighting on Highland No. 3, which bore 90% of the Japanese artillery fire, was brutal. However, it was not until they personally set foot on this position during the day that they realized that the so-called tragedy was compared to everything they saw. , still too mild. This place can be called purgatory on earth!

　The Japanese have actually restrained themselves to some extent yesterday evening, but they are obviously unqualified cleaners.

In other words, the situation is too bad and there is nothing they can do.

The entire hillside was almost covered with horse corpses and human corpses, and no complete ones could be found at all. The remains of limbs could be seen everywhere, not one by one, but in lumps.

The **** facing the Japanese army position looked black because the trees and shrubs had been cut down and burned. However, under the raging artillery fire, the fresh soil was turned out and turned yellow again, but because of the blood left by a large number of deaths, , and then evaporated by the high temperature caused by the explosion of the shell or soaked into the soil.

Standing on it, all you see is brown and yellow.

But if you look up from the foot of the mountain, the gray-yellow hillside looks like an oil painting with a gray-yellow background but an unknown number of dark brown lumps of ink sprayed on it.

Only warriors understand that these almost eerie tones represent the struggles of life, and without exception, they all died.

Using blood and various tissues in his body to paint such a color on the earth.

Tantai Mingyue used his camera to record all this from a distance. After the war, it became a famous "death painting".

What is extremely strange is that after the war, many Japanese families in the Hiroshima area kept a printed version of this photo at home. Every war anniversary, they would offer sacrifices and burn incense.

Perhaps it's because many of the people who spray-painted this strange 'oil painting' are their children.

After this battle, there were internal statistics from the Kunisaki Detachment. Here alone, the Kunisaki Detachment suffered more than 450 casualties and more than 300 wounded. Almost an entire infantry brigade was lost in this battle.

Especially Cai Yongguan ordered Tudou to call for artillery fire coverage from his own side. That move was too cruel. An infantry squadron that rushed to the position and a cavalry squadron that had already started charging had less than 30 survivors out of a total of more than 200 people.

20 minutes accounted for one-third of the afternoon's casualty statistics.

As for Li Shoushan's 1st Brigade of the Jing'an Army, they had been beaten to a **** as early as noon, and the Guoqi detachment would never count their casualties in their battle reports.

Of course, in that crazy indiscriminate bombardment led by the Chinese themselves, the remaining defenders on the Chinese mountaintop position were also completely wiped out.

However, after several rounds of attrition battles by the Japanese army, the strength of the remaining Chinese troops located on the top of the mountain has been reduced sharply to less than 20 people, which is the strength of one and a half infantry squads.

Exchanging 20 men for 200 men, a battle loss ratio of 1:10 is simply a statistic that embarrasses the entire Japanese Army.

This may also be one of the most disparate battle loss ratios between China and Japan in the offensive and defensive battles since the Japanese army launched the July 7th Incident and the Battle of Songhu.

One of the reasons why I say this is that during the Battle of Sihang Warehouse, the Japanese 36th Infantry Regiment once produced even more humiliating data than this.

But that was mainly because the Japanese heavy artillery did not participate in the war due to the geographical terrain of Sihang Warehouse. The Japanese could still find some fig leaf for themselves.

But here, what is it?

The Japanese Navy dispatched more than 20 bombers to assist in the battle. Four 105-caliber howitzers, more than 20 75-caliber mountain field guns, and more than a dozen 70-caliber infantry guns were all put into battle. The famous "Steel Army" put out its full strength.

Still, beaten into a dog!

So much so that this battle report to the Kunisaki Detachment was not sent to the headquarters of the Tenth Army at all, but was only sent to the headquarters of the Fifth Division, which was still in the midst of a fierce battle in Shanxi. It was then sealed under the secret order of the proud Seishiro Itagaki, and the number of enemies announced by the Chinese was annihilated He refused to admit it until the end, saying that it was China's own way of putting money on its face, and it was not revealed to the world until after the war.

But by then Kunisaki had already died in the battle, and Itagaki Seishiro was also sent to the gallows, and there was no longer the embarrassment of being slapped in the face.

However, for the Chinese soldiers at this time, the tragic situation of the Japanese army only made them want to cheer with dilation of their pores.

But everyone was still silent.

Because, the top of the 'painting of death' is so gorgeous, it is the flower of life for my colleagues.
