Chapter 691 The turtle caught in the fishing net
A dignified Imperial Japanese Army commander shed tears on the battlefield.
This time, it was not really because of the fear of death, but because the pride of a soldier that was once deeply rooted in his bones was destroyed. This was something Takeuchi Yunshan could not accept.
When facing death, some people would rather live in humiliation, while others would rather die standing.
Whether you are an Easterner or a Westerner, there will be two groups like this.
Takeuchi Yunshan finally awakened to something special for soldiers at the moment when his life entered the countdown.
What's more, as a captain of the Colonel's Wing, he knows one thing better than all the Japanese soldiers here. Once he agrees to his subordinate's suggestion and chooses to stand still and wait for reinforcements, what consequences will he face.
The consequence is that the Chinese will use their currently superior firepower to try to remove all the firepower points bit by bit. At that time, it will be the end of everyone in this valley.
His subordinates' desperate counterattack may not be able to capture the Chinese positions, but they can drag these **** Chinese on the mountains.
The Chinese commander who laid out a big picture and counted his two thousand people to death was very smart, but smart people often rely too much on their own wisdom and make sacrifices. This is Takeuchi Yunshan's decades of life experience. Life has given him His wisdom.
He believed extremely that before all of his own heavy firepower points were completely eliminated, the Chinese who had already completely gained the upper hand would never rush down the mountain and engage in a final decisive battle with him.
This will undoubtedly increase their losses.
The Chinese have fierce firepower and abundant ammunition. At any time in the past, it might have been a heart-wrenching pain for Takeuchi Yunshan. But looking at the sky, Takeuchi Yunshan saw a glimmer of hope in despair.
As long as the Chinese are willing to sacrifice the lives of soldiers because they have enough ammunition, they may have a chance to fight until after dark at 6 o'clock.
When night falls, the dark night may give him and his men a chance to escape from the battlefield.
Besides, Takeuchi Yunshan still has a glimmer of hope for his forward infantry squadron. If they can fight back and rush up the mountains to make the Chinese lose sight of the other, maybe the infantry squadron trying to join them can also rush out of the valley. Two As long as the infantry squadron occupies a commanding height, it can cover the thousands of remaining soldiers in the valley and continue to retreat through the gap.
As long as he leaves this **** place, he has reason to believe that he and his men are still capable of fighting the Chinese. At worst, he can retreat to the vast mountains with some of his soldiers.
There is no way he would be surrounded and killed by the Chinese in this unknown river valley.
The thought that he or the infantry regiment under his command would become the capital to show off in Chinese newspapers made Takeuchi Yunshan shiver all over. That was something more terrifying than death.
As a mid-level army officer who is only one or two steps away from the senior ranks of the empire, Takeuchi Yunshan is very clear about the character of His Highness the Prince, who has become the commander of the Songhu Expeditionary Force. At the critical moment of besieging such an important city in China, an infantryman The destruction of the regiment brought disgrace to the Imperial Army, so he, the captain of the regiment, must bear the brunt of being remembered by His Highness the Prince.
He is dead as well, but it is never a good thing for family members and relatives in the country to be cared about by a powerful prince.
If the plan in Takeuchi Yunshan's mind was known to Tang Dao, Tang Dao could only praise the person who was plotted by him.
Takeuchi Yunshan is really an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. Even if he was ambushed in the end, from his on-the-spot arrangements to his extremely determined attack on the defense line, they all showed what a veteran soldier with more than 20 years of experience should do. Some level.
The wisdom of life even allowed him to figure out Tang Dao, a smart man. Yes, Tang Dao would never easily lose the lives of his soldiers before the Japanese heavy firepower points in the valley were eliminated.
However, no matter in the past life or in this life, Tang Dao has never rested on the so-called wisdom. His essence is a soldier.
Being stingy with sacrifices does not mean that you dare not sacrifice!
If the Japanese army in the valley cannot be completely eliminated two hours before dark, Tang Dao will be much more determined than Takeuchi Yunshan imagined.
As for the vanguard infantry squadron that Takeuchi Yunshan had pinned his hopes on, it didn't look like it was facing three Sichuan Army companies. According to conventional combat strength, more than 400 Chinese soldiers were on the defensive and 200 Japanese soldiers were on the offensive. There was no heavy artillery on either side. In the case of machine guns, just relying on rifles and light machine guns to shoot at each other can roughly lead to a tie.
But four "heartless cannons" placed on the mountain completely changed the balance of power.
12 consecutive large explosive packages weighing more than 7 kilograms crashed into the Japanese army's queue. Not only did the wave take away the captain of the vanguard infantry squadron, the infantry squadron was equipped with 6 light machine guns and 6 grenade launchers. , also lost 70% in this wave of super bombings that made the Japanese army desperate. The terrain they were in was not as open as the river valley. The air waves caused by the explosion of super-large explosive packs almost unleashed their fury here. The casualty rate of the Japanese army was far higher than that of the Japanese army in the river valley. They were killed in less than two minutes. More than half were killed.
The most tragic thing at this time is that Takeuchi Yunshan's military order ordering them to return to attack and occupy the commanding heights on both sides of the valley is still on the way, and the Japanese vanguard infantry squadron has been beaten to half a disability.
The deputy battalion commander Guo Shouzhi, who leads three Sichuan Army companies, is considered the third person in the independent battalion and the leader of the 67th Army. However, his presence has always been inconspicuous. The two people ranked before him are really outstanding. .
It goes without saying that the highest officer, Tang Dao, is the backbone of the entire battalion.
The second-ranked Lei Xiong was originally from the most elite 88th Division. He personally commanded the Baihe Port Defense Battle. With excellent and brilliant command skills, he relied on the originally disadvantageous ground firepower to defeat the Japanese Navy's bomber formation. Half of it was gone.
After the war was reviewed, the three commanders on the Jiashan front line were also full of praise for their tactical arrangements.
With these two comparisons, it would be difficult for Guo Shouzhi, the former battalion commander of the 67th Army Infantry Battalion, to think he was anything but ordinary.
But in this battle, Guo Shouzhi finally showed the excellence of his No. 3 figure to the entire independent battalion.
After discovering that the infantry squadron on the opposite side had been blown up by a "heartless gun" and after more than ten minutes of fire testing, he judged that the Japanese army had lost almost all the machine guns that could pose a threat to the infantry. Guo Shouzhi made an extremely decisive charge to annihilate the infantry. The enemy's decision.
He knew very well that more and more sufficient troops were needed to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Japanese battalion in the valley. This was also his responsibility as the deputy battalion commander.
But that also requires a big heart that can bear greater losses. If a person is not good and suffers excessive battle losses, his reputation will be damaged. Not everyone has the courage to take responsibility.
However, Guo Shouzhi still did it.
After making a decision, Lei Xiong, commander of the right wing of Lianhe River Valley, asked him to drink a large bowl of wine to express his admiration.
Of course, Guo Shouzhi also made sufficient arrangements before charging.
All officers and sergeants equipped with submachine guns and shell guns rushed to the front, followed closely by soldiers carrying bayonet rifles, attacking the remaining Japanese troops from three directions.
The Japanese troops who could not form a decent firepower network to stop them were viciously rushed down from the mountains by groups of people holding guns and herding sheep like sheep. They were driven into blind corners and into ravines, and were then desperately beaten into groups of three. Son, surrounded by a group of nine soldiers, they were either shot to death by submachine guns and shell guns, or stabbed to death by the bayonets of opponents who had completely superior strength.
They were proud of their stabbing skills. Not to mention that they were mowed down by submachine guns and shell guns without much chance to use them. Even if they had the chance, they could not defeat one against three as they thought in a desperate fight.
The Sichuan army they faced may not be as good at stabbing as they were, but they had more people and guns than our brothers. Before the war, they had been strictly ordered by the ministers to try not to charge alone even if they had to fight the Japanese army hand-to-hand.
An infantry squad is basically divided into three groups. Each group has at least 4 soldiers. The two of them always keep bullets in their rifles. When encountering Japanese soldiers who are trying to fight with them, they often shoot first. Even if they miss, they will still shoot. The Japanese infantry who desperately tried to dodge would definitely lose the opportunity, and the four shining bayonets were placed on their shoulders again.
Why! It means that there are many people who bully the few, and it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. The skills in this area have been honed by the already elite Sichuan Army during the ten years of melee fighting in Sichuan Province.
Just like the second lieutenant and squad leader who pulled out his shining command sword and wanted to show off his final bravery, let alone show off the sharpness of the samurai sword that he spent a small amount of his family's savings to make before the war. In fact, he didn't even have time to find an opponent. , he was shot three times in a row by an infantry group that collided head-on.
The range of the old sleeve may be only 200 meters, which is far inferior to the Japanese 38 rifle, but the round-head bullet with a caliber of 7.92 mm is extremely powerful. The huge power of the three bullets knocked the Japanese second lieutenant back five or six meters continuously. Until he lost all his strength and fell to the ground.
Before he died, the poor Japanese second lieutenant still had hearing and heard the leading soldier training his soldiers: "Just do it like this. Whenever you encounter such a fool, shoot immediately. After this battle, we will use Instead of using this crappy gun, just replace it with a 38-meter rifle.
Huh! Idiot's knife looks pretty good. I'll put it away and hand it over to the battalion headquarters. Maybe I can exchange it for a pack of cigarettes for some of my brothers! "
The Japanese second lieutenant's blood pressure soared, and the blood flow rate in the wound skyrocketed instantly. That knife cost him 800 yen! Why is it only worth a pack of cigarettes?
The Japanese vanguard squadron was destroyed earlier than the rear infantry squadron and baggage train.
Now, no matter whether Takeuchi Yunshan is wise or bloody, he is actually just a turtle that has only entered the fishing net. No matter how hard he struggles, he will only be bound tighter and tighter by the fishing net.
Sooner or later, they will be the raw materials for the independent camp to put on the table!
