Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 852

Chapter 852 The final trump card (Part 1)

"We won, we are going to win!" Erya couldn't suppress her joy as she watched the Japanese planes in the sky flee in panic and disappear into small black dots in the distance.

"It's still early!" Tang Dao put down the telescope in his hand and shook his head slightly.

"Has Gu Xishui sent you the latest location of the Japanese Army Regiment Headquarters?" Tang Dao lowered his head and looked at the topographic map of the north bank of Bihe River that Gu Xishui sent him yesterday.

“The Japanese coalition headquarters moved to the right wing. It is too far away from Gu Xishui's hiding place. It only has a rough location!” Zhuang Shisan replied quickly.

"As long as you have a general location, Gu Xishui, the special forces under him are the treasures of my Four Lines Regiment. In this battle, I only need them to be my eyes, not the sword in my hand. If not necessary, , the special teams are not allowed to participate in the battle, and keep a safe distance from the Japanese army!" Tang Dao nodded and specifically told Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff.

There are about 20 people in the special squadron. They are divided into seven or eight special teams to lurk on the battlefield, and they are basically behind the Japanese army. Although they are all elites in the Four Lines Regiment, their number is small!

Although the main forces of the two infantry brigades of the Japanese army were tightly surrounded and basically considered a turtle in a urn, Ishiguro Sadazou was definitely not a mere commander. He had at least nearly a thousand infantrymen and nearly ten artillery pieces under his command.

Even if the special forces soldiers who were still in the most basic stage exchanged one for ten, Tang Dao would be heartbroken, so he specifically reminded Gu Xishui not to add any worries to his mind when he was about to usher in a comprehensive victory.

"Don't worry, Tuanzu! This guy Gu Xishui is one of the smartest people I, Mr. Zhuang, have ever seen in my life. I used to be afraid that he would sacrifice himself because of Yao Meier, and he would get hot-headed and fight with the Japanese whenever he saw them. I fought hard, and after several battles in a row, I realized that my worries were unfounded, and it is up to you to decide who is in the group. This kid has a very clear mind. If he wants to avenge Yao Meier, he must first ensure that he is alive and well. I think he gave the same instructions to the special forces squadron." Zhuang Shisan reassured Tang Dao and handed Tang Dao a cigarette with a smile.

As chief of staff, in the battle against the 2nd Infantry Regiment, Zhuang Shisan continued to stand firmly with Tang Dao's team, but he was still beating a drum in his heart.

After all, this is not a mountainous area. In addition to hiding under the eyes of the Japanese infantry and setting up an ambush, it is a surprise move. In addition, the continuous firepower output of the entire Fourth Line Regiment exceeds that of the Japanese army. The Four Lines Regiment does not account for either military strength or heavy firepower. Advantage, both the enemy and ourselves are on the plains. Once the Japanese army exerts air superiority, all the advantages of the Four Lines Regiment will be lost.

But now, with Tang Dao using fake artillery positions to exhaust the bloodiest fangs of the Japanese fleet, Chief of Staff Zhuang Da also knows that the Si Xing Regiment is basically guaranteed to win this battle, and he is in a good mood. Naturally great!

"Tell Cheng Tietou that his 2nd Artillery Battery did a good job in this battle, but I need his 2nd Artillery Battery to keep up the good work. According to the military order issued by the regiment staff, he will cooperate with the First Agent Company to move to the flank of the general area of the Japanese coalition headquarters in the rear. !" Tang Dao took the cigarette handed over by Master Zhuang, lit it with the match that Erya was rubbing, took a deep breath, and continued to order.

“Okay!” Master Zhuang nodded casually and picked up the phone.

Tang Dao turned his attention to Yang Xiaoshan, who was standing aside: "Xiaoshan, this is your first battle as the commander of the special agent company, but it may also be the most important battle in Qi's military career.

Because this battle was the key to the final decisive battle between our Fourth Infantry Regiment and the Japanese 2nd Infantry Regiment. I need you to lead your special agent company to launch an attack on the flank of the Japanese aggressor coalition headquarters and mobilize some of its troops.

However, although Cheng Tieshou's 2nd Artillery Company will mobilize all the heavy machine gun squads to cooperate with you, except for your special agent company, I have no troops to send, and the communication platoon and medical team each have their own tasks. You You can only lead the engineer platoon.

And what you have to face may be several times the number of Japanese infantry as your special agent company, and may even be assisted by enemy artillery. Do you have the confidence to win this battle? "

“Sir, Yang Xiaoshan and the special agent company promise to complete the mission!” Yang Xiaoshan raised his chest without hesitation and answered at attention.

It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders. Yang Xiaoshan simply accepted the order without asking whether he could still receive artillery fire or troop support.

He was indeed right about this young man, and Tang Dao showed appreciation in his eyes!

At this time, what he needs is not a company-level commander who has great tactical accomplishments and amazing commanding skills. What he wants is a company-level commander who can execute orders to the letter.

Tang Dao's move of bypassing the Japanese coalition headquarters to attack from the flank is not simply copying the Japanese tactics. As he said, Yang Xiaoshan needs to mobilize the strength of the Japanese coalition headquarters. Only in this way, he has already prepared the first move. Only then do you have the opportunity to truly appear.

Only in this way can he completely annihilate this infantry regiment at the minimum cost and slap five finger marks on the fair face of Tu Feiyuan.

“Sir Tang, Bai Sheng can lead his two engineer platoons to cooperate with Company Commander Yang!” The lieutenant commander of the New Eighth Division Engineer Company who had been on standby in the headquarters thought for a moment and strode over to ask for a fight.

"The main task of your department is to blow up the Yellow River Bridge, and Japanese planes have just bombed a row of positions of your department. Casualties are inevitable. If you participate in this battle again and cause more casualties, Tang Dao will not be able to explain to your division!" Tang Dao! After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and refused.

Tang Dao considered the truth. The engineer company commander in front of him was not bad. Hearing that the Fourth Army Regiment was going to fight the Japanese army in the field, he not only took the risk to help the Fourth Army Regiment dig field fortifications, but also took orders to build a decoy and fake artillery position. He was responsible for the most terrifying aerial bombardment of the Japanese aircraft fleet. As a friendly force, he had done his best to be benevolent. If he had to send one of his engineering troops to the front line to fight in the field, the New Eighth Division Headquarters would not like it.

"Sir Tang, please don't say that. All Chinese soldiers have the responsibility to defend the territory! We, the Guizhou Army, have climbed hundreds of mountains and traveled thousands of miles for what purpose are we here? Isn't it just to fight the Japanese!"

I have long read in the newspaper that you, Commander Tang, are good at fighting Japanese. I, Bai Sheng, have never taken it too seriously. I just thought it was just another bunch of **** bragging. But today I am really convinced. Commander Tang and you four All the brothers in the group are like this! "Bai Sheng stood upright and gave Tang Dao a thumbs up.

"It's true that our New Eighth Division is a miscellaneous army, but as long as a miscellaneous army has a gun in its hand, it can kill the Japanese. If Commander Tang and Company Commander Yang don't mind it, I, Bai Sheng, will lead my brothers to fight the Japanese and survive." Now, Bai Sheng and his brothers can hold their heads high and tell everyone that the Guizhou army can fight the Japanese; even if they die, they can use these lives to tell everyone that the Guizhou army is not a weakling and dares to fight against the Japanese!"

This lieutenant engineer company commander has already said it all!

Tang Dao knew that the reason why the engineer company commander said this was actually related to the experience of the New Eighth Division.

This infantry division, which was established three years ago, is basically composed of security groups from several counties in Guizhou Province. The treatment is also conceivable. The First Theater Command also has great doubts about its combat effectiveness and does not dare to easily use it. It is sent to the front line.

In the past, this infantry division participated in two large-scale military operations in the first half of 1938, one was to bomb the Iron Bridge over the Yellow River, and the other was the nationally-famous 'Huayuankou', becoming a famous 'destruction division' !

It was not until December 1938 that the New Eighth Division, which was responsible for garrisoning Longmen, ushered in the battle to rectify their name. They blocked the Japanese invaders in the Longmen area of Hancheng, Shaanxi Province. The First Infantry Battalion under its command suffered 70% battle losses. Successfully blocked the Japanese invaders and forced them to retreat to the east bank of the Yellow River.

It is against this background that this lieutenant engineer company commander of the Guizhou Army is more eager to prove himself.

Of course, Tang Dao believes that bravery can be contagious.

"Okay! Then your two platoons will go get their weapons. After the war, these rifles, machine guns, and grenade launchers don't have to be returned. They can be regarded as gifts from my four-line regiment to your department!" Tang Dao stopped talking nonsense at the moment. .

“Yes!” Bai Sheng saluted excitedly.

The engineer company is an auxiliary unit. Although it has also conducted shooting training, due to the shortage of weapons, the New Eighth Division did not equip the engineer company with many guns at all. The entire infantry company only had five pistols, 18 rifles, 120 grenades, and more. Forget about machine guns and grenade launchers.

With this equipment, if you encounter the Japanese, you will basically be wiped out!

But if you are so armed by the Four Lines Regiment and have an infantry company in place, and go to the battlefield in the future, your chances of saving your life will be greatly increased!

It would be strange if this new Engineer Company Commander of the Eighth Division wasn't so beautiful that his nose is bubbling.

As for Tang Dao, not to mention the huge gains from annihilating an infantry regiment of the Japanese invaders, taking the current inventory of the Four Lines Regiment, the equipment of a mere infantry company is really nothing.

But if Bai Sheng's two engineer platoons are added, Yang Xiaoshan can command up to 130 infantrymen, coupled with 12 heavy machine gun squads, the force of nearly 300 people will definitely make Ishiguro Sadazou shrink in fear. It must be much stronger than dozens of infantry.

Sure enough, half an hour later, when Yang Xiaoshan and Bai Sheng led three engineer platoons and 12 heavy machine gun squads in a mighty and rapid march to the right wing of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, 800 meters away, Ishiguro Sadazang was so panicked that he refused to move.

Ishiguro Sadazou must panic!

Although it cannot be regarded as the last support of his 2nd Infantry Regiment, the Army Aircraft Group must be regarded as the reason why he, the captain of the Colonel Regiment, is still strong on the battlefield.

It's a pity that the Army, Air Force, and Mali were so disappointed with him that they didn't provide any support to the two surrounded infantry brigades. They just bombed the south bank of Bihe River and were beaten by the cunning Chinese until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. escaped. How can this be fixed?

The Chinese watched the retreating fleet's combat effectiveness doubled. The Imperial infantrymen in the encirclement and outside the encirclement were curling their **** and cursing. Ishiguro Sadazou, the captain of the Colonel's regiment, was even more buzzing.

Without air support, how could he hold on until dark?

"The house leaked but it rained all night, and the ship was late and encountered a headwind." Bad luck only picks out the poor, and the **** squadron came to report again. The right wing found a large number of Chinese moving towards the wing headquarters.

Through the telescope, I don't know how many Chinese infantrymen were galloping in the grass, but the queue of mules carrying heavy machine guns was very long.

Just for this battle, there must be an infantry battalion!

The Chinese are trying to kill everyone. There is more than just a small four-pronged regiment here, and there are even defeated troops of the Chinese First Army. Ishiguro Sadazou felt that his eyes were darkening, and for the first time he regretted that he still led the regiment headquarters to stay. Stand up to the Chinese on the battlefield.

"Baga! Order the first, second, and third squadrons of the **** squadron to go and meet the enemy, and be sure to block them 500 meters away from the wing headquarters!" Ishiguro Sadazou issued the military order with an extremely ugly face. "In addition, notify the mountain artillery squadron to turn the muzzle of the guns and bombard the incoming enemy! Since the Chinese dare to use such bold tactics, let them pay the price!"

According to convention, there is nothing wrong with Ishiguro Sadazou's deployment of troops.

The **** squadron directly under the 2nd Infantry Regiment has a strength of more than 220 people, and the three infantry squads are 160 people. In addition, there are mountain artillery and infantry artillery to help. Even if the Chinese come to an infantry battalion, they can still hold it, because Neither side had time to build fortifications, and could still use artillery fire to decimate their infantry.

But Ishiguro Sadazou apparently forgot that the artillery of the Fourth Army Regiment was not a vegetarian. Thanks to the fake artillery position bearing the bombing of the Japanese Army Aircraft Group, the 1st Artillery Company suffered no losses. After the Japanese aircraft group left, the 1st Artillery Company All the mountain artillery and 150 mortars were pulled out of the trenches again. Without waiting for the Japanese artillery to fire, they set the coordinates sent by Gu Xishui and fired!

The two artillery squadrons of the Japanese army that had just stopped had to use pack horses to pull the artillery away again. Without air support, the two artillery squadrons were the last hope of the entire infantry wing. The Chinese large-caliber mortars were really It's too scary. It looks like there are still a few hundred meters away, but what if the shot is accurate?

The killing radius of an artillery shell is as high as ten meters. Neither artillery squadron can bear the consequences of losing artillery, so they can only run first to respect it.

Faced with this situation, Ishiguro Sadazou had no choice but to grit his teeth and watch the two artillery squadrons continue to retreat.

Anyway, as long as you run far enough, the Chinese's large-caliber mortars with amazing destructive power but limited range are useless.

The all-out bombardment of the 1st Artillery Battery, although it has not caused damage to the two Japanese artillery squadrons, has relieved a lot of pressure on Yang Xiaoshan.

Although he led three engineer platoons and 12 heavy machine gun squads, his combat effectiveness was limited, especially the two engineer platoons under Bai Sheng. Half of them had only fired twenty rounds of ammunition at most, and their combat effectiveness was lower than that of the new recruits. Not much stronger.

If it weren't for the 12 heavy machine guns providing fire cover 400 meters away, the three Japanese infantry squads might have attacked 100 meters away and discovered their "paper tiger" attributes.

The Japanese Army Wing Guard Squadron is similar to the Chinese Army Guard Company and Battalion. It has always been an elite component of the Wing. Even against Li Jijin's Seventh Company, it can still gain the upper hand, let alone three engineer platoons. .

As soon as they made contact, the precise shooting skills of the Japanese veterans suppressed the three engineers without even daring to show their heads. A few of the more daring ones lay on the ground and fired at the Japanese soldiers. In the end, they were either killed or injured.

Yang Xiaoshan was just a top soldier before. Thanks to Tang Dao's appreciation, he was promoted from superior soldier to squad leader, platoon leader and company commander in one go. He didn't have the sophistication of Li Jiujin, the determination of Zhao Daqiang, or the cleverness of Qian Dazhu. , but he is very steady. Needless to say, Tang Dao knows that his mission this time is to mobilize the Japanese army rather than to actually break through the Japanese defense line and pose a threat to the Japanese coalition headquarters.

So, as soon as he entered the battlefield, he ordered the three engineer platoons to use their own characteristics-dig fortifications.

The volley shooting skills of the three engineers are naturally not comparable to those of ordinary infantry, but when it comes to digging individual bunkers, their skills are excellent.

The sandy soil on the south bank of the Bihe River is soft enough. It only took a few minutes to use an individual engineer shovel to dig a 60-centimeter pit that could accommodate an individual soldier to hide.

that's enough!

The excavated sand and soil are piled in front of the bunker to protect against Japanese bullets and shrapnel fragments. The soldiers only need to nest in the pit, place the gun in front of the sand bunker, hold it tightly, and pull the trigger.

It may not be possible to kill anyone, but as long as it can prevent the Japanese army from increasing its speed, it will be sufficient.

What can really curb the Japanese firepower are the 12 heavy machine guns located 400 meters behind the infantry defense line!

This is what Yang Xiaoshan has calculated. As long as the infantry defense line blocks the Japanese infantry more than 100 meters away, the 12 heavy machine guns can be located beyond the 500-meter effective range of the Japanese grenade launchers, reducing the damage done by the Japanese grenade launchers.

The effective range of 12 heavy machine guns is as high as 800 meters. The firepower network formed may not be very effective in killing the Japanese troops, but effective suppression can be achieved.

In this case, the infantry defense line will be used to extend the distance, and heavy machine gun fire will suppress the Japanese infantry. Unless the Japanese infantry charges regardless of casualties, a stalemate will be formed.

And this, this delicate balance exactly meets the tactical needs of both sides' headquarters.

This is indeed the case. The captain of the **** squadron of the 2nd Infantry Regiment who was in charge saw that the Chinese were blocked by him and stayed in place to shoot at him. He was just happy to see the result.

The meaning of the commander of the regiment is very obvious. His three infantry squadrons are blocking the advance of the Chinese. It is the two artillery squadrons that are really effective in killing the Chinese. So why should he be so strong and resolutely implement the regiment commander's instructions? Just the tactical concept.

So, despite the fierce fighting between the two sides, it is actually the long-range firepower of both sides that is competing.

The heavy machine gun squad of the 2nd Artillery Company suppressed the Japanese troops in the distance, while the Japanese **** team used grenades to fire back at the heavy machine gun fire points.

Although the grenadier soldiers were more than 600 meters away from the Chinese heavy machine guns, and their accuracy was far from being as high as within the effective range, they fired more rounds, and eventually a few rounds could threaten the heavy machine gun's firepower point.

A heavy machine gun basically fires 200 bullets in a row, and then the heavy machine gun is immediately raised to re-select a position.

"Damn Chinese!" Ishiguro Sadazou looked through the telescope at the smoke on the battlefield only 500 meters away from him. He cursed fiercely, but his face showed an honest look of relief.

In any case, the three **** teams he sent out blocked the Chinese attack. He can continue to hold on and see what other cards the Chinese have.

After all, he still has five to six hundred infantry and two artillery squadrons at his disposal. As long as the Chinese trump card is not so thrilling, he can continue to persevere. This is the unique resilience of the Imperial Japanese Army.

The already anxious Japanese Army Colonel once again ignored one thing. His two artillery squadrons were getting farther and farther away from the wing headquarters, and the only **** infantry team to protect the artillery squadrons was also sent to the left wing of the wing headquarters. .

That means that although his two artillery squadrons are free from the threat of the Chinese large-caliber mortars, if a Chinese army makes great efforts to circle to the rear of the entire battlefield, his two artillery squadrons will be like one facing a handheld The machete villain's baby is defenseless
