Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 672

Chapter 672 Is this a trebuchet?

The observation post ambushed in the mountain forest used flags to notify the Japanese troops behind the ridge to start taking action. The faces of the other three giants of the independent battalion were filled with surprise.

The tactical plan that their battalion commander temporarily revised an hour ago was successful again.

Yes, since the special operations team sent a secret message that the Japanese army had marched in the direction of Laojinkeng, nearly 1,700 people in the army, wearing hats camouflaged by vegetation, and even their arms and thighs were tied with dead branches, entered the fighting position and waited. No sign of the Japanese troops was seen for more than an hour.

On the road that can pass 94 tanks, the average marching speed of the Japanese army is only 2 kilometers per hour. This is not because the Japanese army has short legs, but because the Japanese commander is so cautious.

Every time you pass through a seemingly dangerous area, you will be carefully searched by the guards and will not pass until you are sure it is safe.

Therefore, based on the characteristics of the Japanese march reported by the special operations team, Tang Dao decided an hour ago to extract three Sichuan Army infantry companies that had been merged into the independent battalion, with Deputy Battalion Commander Guo Shouzhi as the commander. About 1,000 troops before crossing the valley Set up defense at meters.

Rather than letting him worry about being attacked, it is better to let him find out. Tang Dao used the opposite trick to 'snake the grass and scare the snake'.

What do humans fear most? It's unknown.

For example, why humans are so afraid of death is because no one knows what is behind death.

So Tang Dao simply put up a small formation and clearly told the Japanese army that I was here and could fight if I could.

The Japanese commander, who had been cautious along the way, was indeed fooled, and the main force rushed straight to the battlefield aggressively.

Of course, this psychological formation of "I've caught you" is also determined by the topography of the river valley in Laojinkeng. The river valley is more than 200 meters wide, and has enough space to allow people traveling through the river valley. The military provides a great sense of security.

The first ones to enter combat status were not the main force of the independent battalion behind the ridges on both sides of the river valley, but the special operations team. .

The order Gu Xishui received was to follow along and report the marching movements of the Japanese army, and to do his best to prevent the Japanese army from sending out a distress signal after the battle started.

Therefore, the two special operations teams followed them all the way, and the main targets they were looking for were not the Japanese officers who had surrendered their identities and disguised themselves as soldiers, but the communications corps and field radio stations that were closely protected by the Japanese army.

Gu Xishui, Niu Er and others who followed them have already locked their targets. Once the war starts, they will attack the locked targets fiercely.

Colonel Takeuchi Unzan, who dreams of becoming the protagonist but doesn't know that he is already the protagonist, has been sweating in vain.

Time passed quietly, and the loud footsteps shattered the original tranquility of the river valley.

Since knowing that the vanguard squadron had encountered the enemy, the Japanese army's march this time was faster than imagined.

A total of more than 6 miles and 3000 meters of river valley, the trotting Japanese forwards almost finished the run in 18 minutes, and they were still fully armed.

This result is really good, almost reaching the standard for Chinese soldiers to go cross-country fully armed in the future.

No wonder this Japanese army is known as the "Steel Army". In this era, not to mention equipment, just based on the military quality of the soldiers, the current Chinese army may only have a few elites who have experienced strategic shifts of tens of thousands of miles. To rival.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the flat terrain in the river valley.

The river valley has been used as a floodway all year round. Except for the main road that can be used for carriages, the open area is basically a rocky beach. No crops can grow, but some weeds grow here and there.

The Shuangxi River, which is no more than three meters wide, flows eastward along the mountain, while the mountain road winds along the mountain on the other side and at the foot of the mountain.

There was no hardship in going up and down the mountain, and the road was wider. Not only did the Japanese infantry run vigorously, but the two leading 94 armored vehicles even ran smoothly, spitting out black smoke.

The Japanese commander of the first 94 armored vehicle even opened the top hatch to expose his entire upper body. While looking around vigilantly, he gave directions to the driver of the armored vehicle while admiring the scenery of the mountainous area in southern Anhui, China.

Along the way, as the pioneers, no one of the drivers of the two 94 armored vehicles who were most likely to be attacked dared to show their heads. Apart from getting out of the car to pee, they spent most of the several hours in the armored vehicle. In fact, It's almost frustrating people. Especially the No. 1 car. From time to time, the Colonel, the captain with a big head and a thick neck, has to be stuffed into the car. The feeling of being cheek to cheek and chest to chest with an army colonel was really terrible. The second lieutenant of the Armored Corps, who leaned out half of his body, did not want to experience it again in his life. If he could, he would rather stay so close to a pig. Go on for a while.

At least, he didn't have to accidentally kiss a certain colonel on the face because of the bumps, and have to say sorry loudly. His ten toes almost dug through the thick soles of the cowhide military boots.

Now, in this beautiful place with mountains, water and beautiful scenery, the cool mountain breeze blows through, making people feel better involuntarily.

The mountains in southern Anhui are mostly composed of lava from volcanic eruptions tens of millions of years ago, and are very typical granite landforms.

Superior craftsmanship and rugged rocks are one of the characteristics of the mountainous area in southern Anhui. But that doesn't mean that trees don't grow on stone mountains with a lava base. On the contrary, there are many big trees in the mountains where few people have visited for thousands of years.

Especially in this era, China, where the industrial winds have not even touched the plains, has basically maintained its original appearance in all mountainous areas.

In addition to digging some food from the little land, the simple mountain people also have to rely on the mountains to eat, hunt wild animals from the mountains and collect mountain goods to make a living!

It's not like the future where the entire mountain can be hollowed out to leave a big hole for quarrying, or where the entire mountain can be chopped down to make money for logging.

What it is now, what it was like in ancient times, it is still what it is now.

The two low mountain collars that firmly sandwich the river valley are lush and green starting from the middle of the mountain, with bushes and trees with lush foliage. It is really suitable for hiding. Even if the Japanese army wanted to go up to check, they would not be able to climb up without a dozen or twenty minutes.

What's more, in order not to be exposed, except for a very small number of observation posts, the main force of the independent battalion was hidden behind the ridge. It was not until the Japanese army began to enter the valley in large numbers that they quietly entered their respective ambush positions from the woods.

The first round of attacks was not carried out by rifles, machine guns, or mortars.

In other words, for the first time, the officers and soldiers of the Independent Battalion Artillery Company put aside their beloved mortars and used the simple large-caliber 'artillery' with an oil drum as the barrel.

After being ordered to launch the first round of attack, they only needed to complete one tactical action and shoot all the explosive packets on hand into the river valley.

There is no requirement for accuracy, only hand speed, and the explosive package should be 'emptied' in the shortest possible time.

Of course, in order to prevent the explosive packets from not being projected into the valley and falling onto the mountains, there will be no infantry positions in front of all the 'flying thunder cannons'.

Once that thing falls on their own positions, the Chinese soldiers who are most familiar with the power of explosive packs know that if an infantry squad is blown up into the sky, it will be blessed by gods and Buddhas. The most daring Chinese soldiers will not dare to put it in the muzzle of that thing. Stay down.

There were a total of 100 "heartless cannons" made of gasoline barrels. In the entire 3,000-meter-long river valley, more than 100 soldiers from the artillery company brought two Sichuan infantry companies to help them. An average of 4 people were responsible for one gasoline barrel.

The reason why as many as four people are responsible for such a crude "artillery" is because although the filling of cannonballs is simple, the lower part of the gasoline barrel that serves as the cannon body and barrel must be buried in the soil and relied on the earth. Counteracts the huge recoil produced by black powder explosions.

The workload is not as easy as imagined. The TV picture of putting a gasoline barrel on the ground and setting it on fire is simply unbearable to watch.

Once the cannon is fired, the gasoline barrel will fly into the sky! Do you think that the power to drop several kilograms of explosive packets more than 100 meters away is for nothing?

Do you understand that the functions of forces are mutual? Even though Tang Dao didn't pass junior high school physics, he still knew this simple common sense of physics.

In the first round of attack, 100 explosive packets soared into the sky, flying more than 20 meters from behind the ridge, and then drew a beautiful arc and landed on the heads of the Japanese soldiers who were trotting in the valley to enjoy the scenery.

“Nani?” The Japanese infantrymen looked up at the **** guy falling from the sky, their eyes frozen.

Did the Chinese use ancient trebuchets?

But they are not cities!

PS: The month will end in two days. Brothers who have monthly votes, hurry up and vote! Wow, Fengyue's votes this month are less than 600, thanks to the support of my brothers. Also, I once again appeal to brothers who watch pirated movies to come to Qidian Chinese website to support Fengyue.
