Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 853

Chapter 853 The final trump card (Part 2)

“Have Xiaoshan mobilized nearly an infantry squadron of Japanese troops?” Tang Dao put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Zhuang Shisan.

"Yes, Captain Yang just sent a telegram. He successfully attracted two hundred Japanese troops. The two sides are currently in a stalemate. The Japanese side did not launch too violent an attack because the artillery was successfully involved by the 1st Artillery Battery. The Secret Service Company The damage from the battle with Company Commander Bai's two engineering platoons was not that big! Regiment leader, can you please notify Deputy Gong?" Master Zhuang showed a hint of excitement on his face.

As the four chief officers of the Four Lines Regiment, although Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, and Gong Shaoxun are three battlefield veterans, Chief of Staff Zhuang Da usually focuses on logistics and rarely participates in the formulation of tactics, but at least he As the head of the staff department, he is also responsible for issuing regimental orders to various ministries, so he still understands the tactics agreed upon by Tang Dao and the others.

What Chief Zhuang Da was excited about was not that Yang Xiaoshan successfully established a foothold on the flank of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, but that Tang Dao's ambush vanguard could be used.

The reason why the Fourth Army Regiment has not launched a general offensive until now is because they are worried about the Japanese aircraft and artillery. Now that the aircraft crisis has been resolved, only the Japanese artillery is left.

Tang Dao constantly mobilizes troops and generals, isn't it just to mobilize the available troops under Ishiguro Sadzo? Now, the time has finally come.

“How far is it from Deputy Gong to the general area of the Japanese artillery?” Tang Dao was also agitated in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.

“Vice-Gong Tuan called half an hour ago to report that their lurking area is here! The distance is about 2,000 meters!” Zhuang Shisan pointed at the terrain map with his hand.

"2000 meters?" Tang Dao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then they can enter the charging area in about 10 minutes."

"This battle can only be won, not lost! Although we have made sufficient arrangements, we cannot be completely sure that the Japanese army will mobilize all the infantry. Once more than a hundred Japanese infantry are on guard around the Japanese artillery units, the cavalry will definitely suffer heavy losses. The cavalry company has only been with our Fourth Line Regiment for more than a month. We cannot just let them charge into the battle with such a hard battle," Tang Dao said suddenly. "In this way, Lao Zhuang, from now on, you will be solely responsible for the command of the regiment!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Erya: "Go and bring me that warrior's heirloom sword that you picked up on the ground last time. It should be good to chop off the little devil's head with that thing!"

“Where are you going, Tuanzuo?” Master Zhuang was speechless, with a bad premonition flashing through his heart.

"I'll take Lu Sanjiang to join Deputy Gong and the cavalry company. With a few more men and horses, I can't chop off a few more Japanese heads, right?" Tang Dao smiled faintly, took the samurai sword handed over by Erya, turned around and left. .

"Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo, this is the main battlefield! If you leave, how can I, a second-hand swordsman, take charge of the overall situation! Besides, Tuanzuo, you can't keep your word!" Master Zhuang's face turned pale. He rushed forward and took Tang Dao's arm, almost pleading.

That reluctance to give up is like a young daughter-in-law dragging her newlywed husband to leave soon.

You can't hold it back! Regardless of his technical and tactical skills, his brains, or his will to fight, Tang Dao is the best choice. No one in the entire four-pronged group disagrees with him, but he also has an intolerable shortcoming - he especially likes to be on the front line.

In the past, the Sihang Battalion only had a hundred troops, and the battalion commander only had to personally participate in the battle. However, when an independent battalion was later established, it already had more than 2,000 troops during the Battle of Guangde, and Tang Dao's old problem remained unchanged.

This is too much. Why, the members of the dignified Si Xing regiment are not dead, and they have to be the regiment leader with a sword and personally go into battle to kill the enemy!

Of course, this is not a matter of losing face, but that swords and guns are blind on the battlefield. If Tang Dao, the spiritual pillar of the Four Lines Regiment, falls, no matter how many Japanese troops are annihilated, strategically speaking, the Four Lines Regiment will lose. .

Because, apart from Tang Dao, who can rely on his extremely powerful personal charm to unite all the members of the Four Elements Group with complex origins, no one else has this ability.

Therefore, Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, Zhuang Shisan, including the two infantry battalion commanders Guo and Leng, specifically discussed this issue at the Si Xing Regiment military meeting. Faced with the collective "attack" of the top backbone of the Si Xing Regiment, Tang Dao could only make it clear that he would never fight on the front line unless absolutely necessary.

This is also the reason why Zhuang Shisan specifically pointed out that Tang Dao should keep his promise after expressing his inability to do so. They are all the leaders of the group, and they cannot turn around and treat the previous promises as nonsense.

"Lao Zhuang! It's true that the main battlefield is here. You are panicking alone, but there are also Deputy Lei Tuan and Lao Guo! They are both veterans, and the little devils in the encirclement are just panning. You can eat the cooked food whenever you want, you just need to do the logistics!" Faced with his chief of staff's reluctance, Tang Dao blinked and said comfortingly. "Also, please don't blame me Tang Dao. When did I say that I would go to the front line to fight in person? I was going to the front line to command in person. The two are in the same position, but they are so different that they cannot be calculated. Well!"

“Damn it!” Master Zhuang almost spat out blood as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

How can someone who is so good be able to steal something and replace it like this? Cavalry battles are all completed at lightning speed. If you don't follow them, how can you command them? Following them, what, the Japanese came over with a shot and chopped him down without even raising a knife! Isn't that just fighting?

Chief of Staff Zhuang Da wanted to refute the serious nonsense of a certain regiment leader, but after all, Tang Dao was the supreme commander, and he was surrounded by staff, communications troops, and guards. Chief of Staff Zhuang Da could not disgrace Tang Da Tuan leader. .

With such a delay, Tang Dao strode away with the knife in hand.

Lu Sanjiang and fifteen cavalry who were specially transferred from the special squadron to serve as guards and communications also trotted to keep up. In addition, Hammer, who had been restless for a long time, was wagging his tail and was so excited that he didn't want to go.

It really means that the dog is the same as its owner!

Turning around, he saw that Erya was still there. The somewhat frustrated Chief of Staff Zhuang Da was curious: "Erya, the group has escaped, why don't you go!"

"Chief of Staff, I have just learned to ride a horse not long ago, and I am still good at trotting, like that kind of cavalry charging into battle. At my level, I probably fell off the horse and fainted within a hundred meters. If I went, wouldn't I be causing trouble to the commander?" Erya! Very honest answer.

“The group is talking about the conductor,” Zhuang Shisan replied subconsciously.

Erya pursed her lips and smiled.

Tang Tuanzuo said that he would not kill the enemy in battle, who would believe that!

Even without looking at the 'hammer', he was shaking his head excitedly, and even the dog felt his fierce murderous intent.

"The first and second battalions were sent to wait for the military order from the regiment. When the military order was issued, the first and second battalions launched a comprehensive attack on the encircled enemy; in addition, the third battalion was sent to continue to maintain pressure on the Japanese troops in front of them, regardless of ammunition consumption, and must make sure The Japanese army did not dare to mobilize troops easily, so they told Leng Feng and Li Jijin that the regiment leader took Lu Sanjiang to Deputy Gong. If the Japanese were allowed to mobilize troops to the artillery position, they would know the consequences. There's no need to be a battalion commander or company commander. Let's all go back to our homes to look for our mothers.” Seeing the figure of Tang Dao and others who were already mounted on their horses a hundred meters away, Master Zhuang said in disbelief. He ordered with his back teeth.

Don't mention it, without Tang Dao, Chief of Staff Zhuang Da is pretty much the same at the moment.

After all, this man once served as the commander of the security battalion and also served as the chief of staff for two or three months. His command level may not be enough, but his temperament has been improved.

"Brothers, the decisive battle with the Japanese is about to begin. Take advantage of this moment to kill as many of the little devils as you can. The chief of staff also said that there is no need to consider ammunition consumption. Give me the heavy machine gun. Just shoot a few waves like before! Also, there's no need to hide the mortars, let me fire at the Jaap's machine gun position!” Leng Feng knew Tang Dao immediately when he heard that Tang Dao had gone to the cavalry company. plan and immediately make corresponding tactical arrangements.

The entire army of the Fourth Army Regiment can have more than 20 mortars, because the first and second battalions were almost strangled with the Japanese army. To avoid accidental damage, they have not been used.

As for the Third Battalion, the Japanese troops only charged for two rounds before giving up. There was no need for mortars to participate in the battle. Therefore, from the beginning of the war to the present, the mortar squads hiding 800 meters away from the battlefield have not been able to show off their skills at all. Chance.

At this moment, one green and two red flares were fired from the Third Battalion's position, and the six mortar squads belonging to the Third Battalion's fire support company were very happy.

As more than 20 heavy machine guns fired fiercely again, six mortars also fired at the area that the artillery observers had already observed.

The rain of bullets and shells once again enveloped the Japanese army's simple field position hundreds of meters away.

"Nani? Are the Chinese concentrating their firepower again?" Ishiguro Sadazou, whose mind was already buzzing, received bad news from the front line again.

　　Looking into the distance with a telescope for a long time, the livid-faced Japanese Army Colonel really didn't know what kind of medicine the Chinese were selling.

Generally speaking, fire preparations are for the infantry to launch attacks, but feedback from the front line is that the Chinese infantry did not move at all.

Ishiguro Sadazou was actually not afraid of Chinese infantry attacks. He even welcomed them with both hands and feet.

In more than an hour, the remaining hundreds of people of the 3rd Infantry Brigade had already dug simple trenches, and their heavy machine gun squadron was not seriously damaged. Their attack on the Chinese blocking position may have resulted in heavy casualties, but if the Chinese Come and attack their defense line, they will also let the Chinese people know what it means to be heartbroken!

But the Chinese were simply preparing for firepower, which made Ishiguro Sadazou a little numb!

The Chinese are probably not rich enough to waste ammunition so extravagantly without making any tactical arrangements! But if not, then what are their evil intentions? Ishiguro Sadazou's mind was spinning rapidly, but he still couldn't find the answer, and his computer almost crashed.

If this Chinese Army Major knew that the Chinese Army Major opposite him had the mentality of not being afraid of wasting ammunition and killing every extra one, he might have sprayed a mouthful of blood ten meters away.

It's so frustrating to fight with a prodigal!

“Order the mountain artillery squadron and the infantry artillery squadron to counterattack the Chinese! Let them know how powerful the Imperial Japanese Army is!” Ishiguro Sadazou, who was puzzled, could only use the most primitive move.

Fight back!

Both sides have entered a state similar to that on the main battlefield. If you shoot me once, I will immediately shoot back ten times!

Six infantry cannons and four mountain cannons are definitely powerful on a normal battlefield, but here, the firepower is slightly weak.

The position of the third battalion is more than 1,000 meters wide and tens of meters deep. Ten artillery pieces cannot take care of it. This does not include the various artillery squads hidden in the vast wasteland.

The Japanese artillery fire was weak, but the number of artillery pieces participated in the battle by the Four Lines Regiment was much greater than theirs.

The 1st Artillery Company received the order to cooperate with the 3rd Battalion to provide fire coverage for the current Japanese army. 6 150-caliber mortars opened fire, 7 infantry guns were also temporarily used as howitzers, and there were 4 75 mountain guns, plus the 3rd Battalion's of 6 mortars, and a total of 23 artillery pieces were fired.

The Chinese and Japanese artillerymen were focused on firing at their respective designated areas, and the only ones who suffered were the infantry on both sides.

Seeing the Japanese artillery retaliation, the Chinese infantrymen hid in the trenches as the heavy machine gun fire died down. The infantrymen huddled into the trenches early. As long as the unlucky shells did not fall into the trenches, there was no problem in saving their lives.

As for the Japanese army, of course it was the same, they all hid in the trenches.

Perhaps the only difference from the Chinese side is that due to limited time, the trenches they took shelter in were only seventy or eighty centimeters deep. It was no problem to lie down in them and shoot, but it was still a bit difficult to hold their heads and curl up with their whole body.

In addition, the intensity of Chinese artillery fire is really far superior to that of the Japanese army.

Not to mention those mortar shells that hit the ground at almost 80 or 90 degrees like flying fireballs, but the terrifying warhead of the 150 mortar weighing 21 kilograms, even if it exploded 5 meters away from the edge of the trench, it was completely The walls of field trenches dug by a single engineer shovel will collapse to the other side like tofu squeezed by a huge force.

There were many Japanese infantrymen hiding in the trenches. They clearly did not encounter shrapnel and air waves, but they were squeezed into the soil like sandwich biscuits due to the squeeze of the trench walls.

Under the terrifying force, it was no longer as simple as vomiting blood. The Japanese infantrymen who were shivering in the air waves and survived had no idea what happened to their unlucky colleagues. However, this scene fell into the battlefield after the war to clean up the battlefield. In the eyes of the infantrymen of the Fourth Line Regiment.

Some Japanese soldiers were squeezed so hard that their chests and backs were only less than five centimeters thick, and there were meatballs hanging from their wide-open mouths. No one wanted to find out what the meatballs were, mainly because they thought that they might come from the chest cavity. , everything was squeezed out of the abdominal cavity, which made my hair stand on end.

Of course, in addition to the internal organs in the mouth, there are also many organs that are rushing out of the buttocks. These Japanese corpses have a special characteristic, the buttocks are particularly upturned and bulging.

Some Japanese soldiers were indistinguishable from human appearance at all. The helmets they wore were still there, but they were wrinkled as if they had been rubbed by a giant hand.

Even the steel helmet is like this, let alone the meat head inside the helmet!

Not to mention the fishy smell, you can smell it from a long distance away.

Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment could not help but vomit, especially the Seventh and Eighth Companies. They did not need to be reminded by their officers to dig trenches in the future. Not to mention that the width of the trenches was 1.5 to 2 meters, and some Key parts are also specially reinforced with thick wooden boards. No matter how tired they are, no one has ever complained about ensuring the quality of the trenches.

Really, the scene where the Japanese were squeezed to death by the huge force of the shells was so impressive.

The Chinese and Japanese artillerymen spared no expense to vent their anger on the other side's infantry. However, a thousand meters away from the battlefield, Tang Dao had already joined Gong Shaoxun, who was leading the cavalry company.

Seeing that Tang Dao was really coming, Gong Shaoxun quickly urged the horses to come over.

Both sides did not salute. In order to ensure that they would not be targeted by the Japanese cold-blooded gunmen, all the officers, including Tang Dao, even tore off their rank badges and put them in their pockets.

"Commander, this battle is dangerous! I can lead the team myself." Gong Shaoxun didn't talk as much nonsense as Master Zhuang, and went straight to the topic with a serious face.

"Brother, you can go, and so can I!" Tang Dao's answer was simple.

Riding on his horse, Tang Dao turned his attention to the more than a hundred cavalrymen behind Gong Shaoxun. His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.

“Brothers of the cavalry company, this battlefield of our cavalry company is the final blow to the Japanese army. Only by killing the Japanese artillery can our first and second battalions launch a final decisive battle against the Japanese army in the encirclement without any scruples!

And I, Tang Dao, am both the leader of the Four Lines Regiment and the first soldier of the Four Lines Regiment, so here I am! Brothers, can you accompany me and pull out the last fangs of the Japanese invaders? "

The officers and soldiers of the cavalry company looked at their unfamiliar but familiar regimental commander, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.

Unfamiliar because the cavalry company has just been with the Sixings Regiment from the 67th Army for a month, and most people have only seen Tang Dao a few times in the Battle of Songjiang. Most people have only seen Tang Dao a few times; familiar, it is naturally one of the heroes of Tang Dao. The name is like thunder piercing the ears.

It's just that this is the first time for the cavalry to have the highest commander charge with them.

You know, cavalry charging into battle is the most powerful and majestic. In ancient times, it was the trump card in the hands of generals. It rushed through the ranks of infantry and defeated the opponent's will. But now is an era of war dominated by thermal weapons. If the opponent has several machine guns, this is close to Cavalry No. 200 is likely to become a living target for the opponent.

The infantry can still take shelter in the trenches, but once the cavalry charges, they have no choice but to fight to the death.

Even if the array is sparse, not more than half can survive and rush into the position.

When the cavalry entered the battlefield with military orders, they were already prepared to die in battle.

And their supreme commander actually stood in front of everyone and asked the cavalry to accompany him, which meant that he had to rush in front of everyone, and the death coefficient was almost 90%.

So, the cavalry hesitated!

“Sir, I'll accompany you!” Gong Shaoxun sighed, drove his horse to the right side of Tang Dao, pulled out the carbine from the gun bag, and raised it high.

Although he has not worked with Tang Dao for a long time, Gong Shaoxun knows Tang Dao's personality, and no one can change his decision.

He knew better that the reason why Tang Dao came in person was just to tell him and the cavalry company with practical actions that no matter where you are from, if you come to the Four Lines Regiment, you are my brother Tang Dao, and I, Tang Dao, am willing to die with you!

We are all men, what else is there to say, just do it!

"Sir, I'll accompany you!" Lu Sanjiang drove his horse behind Tang Dao, followed Gong Shaoxun's example, pulled out his gun and raised it.

"Sir, I'll accompany you!" the cavalrymen roared as if they were waking up from a dream, and pulled out the carbines from their gun bags and raised them high.

As we are about to enter the battlefield, there are no cheers, no slogans, only carbines raised high in our hands.

That is the first weapon they will use two hundred meters after entering the charge. At least one bullet will be fired before it is the saber's turn!

The carbine raised high is the cavalry's answer to their regimental commander.

No matter what the road ahead is, it's just that we will die together!
