Chapter 856 Accidental death!
The tall horse of the Japanese army officer suddenly charged forward without warning, and in an instant it had jumped more than ten meters away. The speed was so fast that even Xia Dayu had to move his telescope along with it.
Then, Xia Dayu saw that the "crazy" war horse hit several Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard.
The Oriental horses ridden by Japanese military officers are selected from a cross between Arabian horses and local mares. They have a shoulder height of 150 centimeters and a weight of 500 kilograms. When they jump out at high speed, they are like those carried by a mini car in the future. The kinetic energy is not much different.
Let alone people, even a solid wooden door can be broken into pieces!
Several Japanese soldiers who were hit were knocked away several meters, but the obviously frightened galloping horse still ignored it. No matter how the Japanese officer on top tightened the reins, he still ran forward with all his strength, and even knocked down the officer on the horse. After falling down, for this Japanese officer, the misfortune may have just begun.
The reason is simple. One of his feet is still hanging in the stirrup, and his whole body is like a rag doll, rising and falling with the mad galloping of the horse.
The surrounding Japanese soldiers did not react until this moment. Several Japanese soldiers raised their guns subconsciously, but they did not fire, perhaps because they were worried about hurting the officers who were still hanging on their horses.
"If he can still survive, I think he is very lucky! Brother Niu, your shot was amazing!" Xia Dayu looked at this scene and could only laugh.
He can guarantee that the Japanese army's war horses went crazy because of Niu Er's shot, otherwise the war horses would not have gone crazy for no reason.
And Xia Dayu can guarantee that the Japanese officer whose head was hit by the ground several times must be dead. That guy didn't wear a helmet. Even if he did, his neck wouldn't be hammered, right?
Xia Dayu, the youngest special soldier in the Fourth Army Regiment, made a correct judgment. Not to mention that after the galloping horse ran for 50 meters, one of its hoofs hit the air, and the horse and the man were thrown seven or eight meters away. Seventy percent of his life was lost. Just the few constant hits of the human body on the ground were enough to break the most fragile neck of the human body.
Looking at a group of Japanese soldiers running madly towards the fallen man and horse, Niu Er also smiled slightly.
The rifle in his hand has a limited range after all. Even though he tried very hard, his shot was still a little crooked due to the ballistic deviation.
It should have been the person who missed the horse, nor the horse, but the distance was definitely not too far away. As for why the Oriental horse went crazy, Niu Er guessed whether it was because of the ricochet.
Although it is a bit regretful, the Japanese officer was not killed or injured, so the goal was achieved.
"Heavy rain, don't worry about him, continue to look for valuable targets!" Niu Er regained his composure in his eyes and ordered calmly.
“Okay!” Xia Dayu moved the telescope again and looked to the distance on the other side.
At this time, the two special forces may have thought that they had used an accident to kill a very important Japanese officer, but they did not know that what they killed was actually the top commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment—Ishiguro Sadzo!
Yes, the unlucky child who was pressed down by the heavy 500 kilogram body of Toyoma 600 meters away was the miserable Lord Sadazō Ishiguro.
Your Excellency, the Colonel of the Japanese Army, is very brave. He plans to stay and lead the regiment's **** squadron to cut off the rear of the entire regiment. However, the leader only talks, and if the subordinates take the leader's words seriously, then they are not qualified subordinates.
More importantly, the senior staff officers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment must also think about their own lives, right? If the captain of the regiment doesn't leave, where will the lieutenants, captains, and majors go?
For your own sake, the captain, you have to leave here!
"Your Excellency, Captain, you still need to remain useful and serve the empire. If you are broken into pieces, you will only make the Chinese newspapers smile!" A group of senior staff officers of the regiment swarmed up and forcibly took away their Excellency, Captain. Mounted on horseback.
Ishiguro Sadazou wanted to struggle, but the "combat power" displayed by a group of staff at this time was much stronger than he imagined. The dignified army commander was like a powerless chicken at this moment.
Of course, what finally made Ishiguro Sadazou give up his struggle may be the reason that the staff came up with in a hurry. His head as an army commander will definitely make the Chinese newspapers scream for a while, and it will become a permanent symbol of the 14th Division. shame.
However, the Japanese Army Colonel who gave up the idea of dying in battle eventually died on the battlefield.
It was not that he was braved by guns and cannons, but that he was crushed to death by his beloved war horse.
After being hit **** the ground several times, Ishiguro Sadazou had already lost consciousness, but he was still breathing. However, when the frightened and frantic war horse kicked off the air and was thrown seven or eight meters away, the heavy body of the horse seemed to be pressing down on him. On his already full head.
As a result, Ishiguro Sadazou died because of the forcible support of his loyal subordinates. If not for this, even if he led the 200th Infantry and fought **** battles with the Four Troops, stopping breathing would have taken at least 40 In a few minutes!
Niu Er's shot, as he felt, did not hit the man or the horse, but the distance was not far away. It landed in an area less than one meter away from the man and the horse. The warhead just hit a stone, and the stone fragments It exploded, and one of the fragments the size of a fingernail hit Toyoma's big eyeball.
That blow directly penetrated Toyo Ma's eyeball. Do you think Toyo Ma, who was in extreme pain, could not go crazy?
Had it not been for the injury to the eye, Toyoba would not have easily kicked off his hoof and used his huge body to deliver the final fatal blow to Ishiguro Sadazou.
If the "accidental" death of the regiment leader Ishiguro Sadzo caused irreparable losses to the 2nd Infantry Regiment, in fact the biggest tragedy has just begun.
Among the several Japanese soldiers who were knocked away by the crazy Japanese horses, there happened to be a signal soldier who was going to the 3rd Infantry Battalion.
The 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions located on the main battlefield had nothing to say about the several military orders issued by Ishiguro Sadazou's previous company. They could only use the radio to give symbolic orders. Whether they could receive them could only be done according to fate, but they still had the power to retreat. However, the radio station of the 3rd Infantry Group was damaged by Chinese shelling. Due to time constraints, there was no telephone line between the wing headquarters and the 3rd Infantry Group, so messages could only be transmitted manually.
This is probably one of the reasons why the Western world looks down on China and Japan.
The Chinese have no navy or air force, and the army only relies on a few artillery to support its appearance. They just want to join in and be their little brother. The Western world despises it. The Japanese, who are a dimensionality reduction strike against China, are stronger than the Chinese in terms of navy, air force and artillery. , In terms of mechanization and communications, China is actually only a step ahead of China.
In the Western world, countries as powerful as beautiful countries, not only can field radios be equipped to company and platoon-level troops, they have even begun to develop simple mobile and portable communication equipment that can be distributed to infantry squads.
This is exactly what happened. When the Pacific War broke out three years later, infantry squad leaders in the beautiful country could contact the division-level headquarters to request fire support with their individual radios.
That is the prototype of modern warfare.
At this time, Japan was nothing more than a military power in its own imagination.
Hence, the 2nd Infantry Regiment at this moment encountered the misfortune of underdeveloped communications. The signal soldier who was ordered to convey the commander's order to break out of the encirclement was accidentally hit and killed, and the officers of the wing headquarters were panicked because the commander was "accidentally" killed by them.
This delay is five minutes.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Let alone five minutes, even one minute may change the fate.
The six infantry companies on the main battlefield launched a charge after throwing 3,000 grenades. There were less than 300 Japanese infantrymen who could still stand up from the grass and tried to show the prowess of the Imperial Japanese Army.
More than half of the remaining 700-800 Japanese troops were killed and disabled by irregular but overwhelming grenades. This should also be one of the rare cases in the history of the Sino-Japanese war in which grenades were used to determine the outcome.
However, this type of battle is almost impossible to replicate.
One: The two warring parties must be close enough that neither side dares to fire, and no matter who fires the gun, they will both perish;
Second: The army has so many grenades, that's tens of thousands of grenades! For ordinary troops, that is almost half the consumption of an infantry division.
Have you ever seen an infantry regiment throw out 3,000 missiles in just a few dozen seconds? And only a few hundred Japanese were attacked. In that unit, I am afraid that even if these hundreds of Japanese were wiped out, Tang Tuanzuo would be demoted to the cooking squad to take the big blame for this huge loss!
But the Four Troops were not afraid. They had carried these ammunition thousands of miles on their shoulders. The slogan "Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in war" was miraculously fulfilled at this moment.
The more than 300 Japanese infantrymen holding rifles and looking ferocious on their faces were determined to fight. Normally, this was definitely a terrifying force. Ordinary troops would have to pay at least the same price even if their strength was three times theirs.
This has been confirmed on several battlefields. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, which was forced to fight tooth and nail, has only increased.
But now, these more than 300 Japanese troops are facing nearly a thousand elite soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment, and the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment have no intention of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with them.
Each three-person team is headed by a 38-meter rifle, and two soldiers holding continuous-fire firearms are located on the sides, rear and flanks.
When they encountered the khaki figure, their shell guns and submachine guns opened fire immediately, leaving no chance for the Japanese infantry to rush over.
I don't know how many Japanese soldiers died unwillingly, lamenting that 'Chinese people do not respect martial ethics'.
Of course, in addition to the 6 infantry companies, 300 recruits who participated in the bombing also entered the battlefield!
The 300 recruits were the group with the largest battle losses besides the Japanese army in this main battlefield. Due to luck and reckless bombing posture, at least 50 recruits were hit by Japanese bullets, with battle losses as high as more than 15%. Among them, even There were also five or six people who hid in the trenches out of extreme fear and refused to carry out military orders to drop bombs. They were shot dead on the spot by their leader as a warning to others.
This was something Tang Dao had anticipated before the recruits entered the battlefield. Anyone who showed mercy on the battlefield would put a yoke on their neck. Tang Dao gave the veterans who led the team the right to kill deserters on the spot, but after the war There will be special evaluations to prevent privileges from being abused by veterans.
The iron and blood methods are naturally effective. After the recruits were tested on the battlefield of blood and fire for three hours, they had seen blood and experienced life and death, and their temperament was very different from before entering the battlefield.
Just as they were now ordered to follow six infantry companies into the battlefield to search for the hiding Japanese troops, the 250 recruits no longer shivered like before, and they were carrying guns in a decent manner. They even imitated the veterans and formed groups of three. The distance between each group is no more than 5 meters, and they patiently search the battlefield after the veterans have passed by.
The veterans leading the team are more nervous than the recruits at this time. They know the horror of Japanese wounded soldiers. They will not only shoot black guns secretly, but will even quietly fire grenades when you get close to them.
“All corpses, first replenish your guns, then your knives!” The veterans roared hoarsely to remind the surrounding recruits.
Cheng Dakui is also on the search team.
Because he performed well in the previous bombing attack, the veteran appointed him as the leader of the combat group that had been divided into the squad in the trenches.
The battle rules of the Four Lines Regiment are that in platoon and class battles, as long as an officer is in charge, he must be in the front. That is the responsibility of the officer. The team leader is also an officer, so it is naturally the arrow of the three-person team, and the two recruits are holding it. The gun walked behind his side.
Because the Japanese army was completely overwhelmed in terms of military strength and firepower, the battle actually ended very quickly. The sound of gunfire on the battlefield gradually became sparse. Searching for wounded Japanese soldiers and hiding soldiers has become a battlefield situation.
Cheng Dakui's team has inspected the corpses of nearly 10 Japanese soldiers, and they strictly followed the veterans' military orders to replenish their guns first and then their knives, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.
Soon, he saw another khaki corpse, which was lying on its back. Cheng Dakui pulled the bolt of the gun and planned to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes and looked at him, making Cheng Dakui tremble in fright. Just as he was about to use his fingers, he saw that the eyes were full of pleading. Although the pale face was dirty, the hair on the lips was still there. Young, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, younger than the fellow countryman who had just been hit by a bullet in the trench and cried for his mother but died in the end.
Cheng Dakui hesitated for a moment, then saw the wounded Japanese soldier groping for his chest and taking out a black-and-white photo. In the photo was a middle-aged woman with a bun and a gentle face. 'MAMA' Although the young Japanese soldier did not say anything, But Cheng Dakui could understand the mouth shape, and Cheng Dakui felt soft-hearted for no reason.
Turning to look at his two companions who also had hesitant expressions, he asked, "What should I do?"
"Cheng Dakui, what are you doing?" A veteran rushed over, glanced at the wounded Japanese soldiers, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly opened his arms and threw the three soldiers under his command to the ground: "Get down!"
A faint blue smoke slowly emerged from under the body of the young wounded Japanese soldier.
The last thing Cheng Dakui saw was a strange trace of satisfaction on that dirty but young face, while the originally pleading eyes were filled with unwillingness.
“This is a group of wild beasts, a group of crazy wild beasts!” This was the thought that rumbled in Cheng Dakui's buried head.
Although he dropped bombs to kill the Japanese invaders like a madman, after all, it was from a long distance, and the life and death line was very close. The Chinese villagers who wanted revenge were still kind-hearted after all.
But with the loud "boom", that useless kindness was finally blown away by the Japanese grenade.
Kindness is for kind people, but it is of no use to devils!
On the main battlefield, the veterans killed brutally, while the new recruits grew up in the killing.
At the Japanese Army Wing Headquarters, they were in chaos because of the accidental death of their own wing captain.
But the cavalry company on Tang Dao's side, after killing all the Japanese troops in sight, did not count the results of the battle, but drove their horses straight towards the north.
There is a depression there that can be used as a blocking position.
And that is also the only place the Japanese army must pass if they want to escape north. If the Japanese army escapes early, the cavalry company may not have a chance to reach there, but now, there is enough time.
The cavalry company of the Fourth Line Regiment not only has sabers and lances, they are lancers, and they usually carry light machine guns and mortars. This time, they come in handy.
The end of the 2nd Infantry Regiment has finally come.
