Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 920

Chapter 920 This is cause and effect!

Since there were a total of five tanks in the frontal position, one large and four small, the Japanese army, which was completely at a disadvantage on the ground, miraculously became the occupier of the advantage!

The Japanese infantry are usually divided into two groups, with the main force at the back and the forwards at the front. The fastest runner has reached a position 100 meters away from the front of the Chinese position. It only needs to advance 70 meters further, which may be enough for them to throw grenades into the trench. It will be the end of all Chinese soldiers on the battlefield!

The casualties caused by the explosion of more than 40 grenades in the trenches will never be smaller than the previous shelling by more than 10 artillery pieces of the Japanese army.

In other words, the distance of 100 meters is the line of life and death. Many Japanese soldiers have begun to straighten up and prepare to charge with all their strength. If it were not for the **** and the soft soil under their feet, 70 meters would not be enough for these soldiers who are strong enough. It's just a tactical action that can be completed in ten seconds.

However, except for the machine gun bullets of the Japanese Type 94 light tanks on the Chinese position, no Chinese soldiers fired back on the nearly 500-meter-wide defense line.

　　'This is unreasonable! ' This was the inner monologue of Captain Kifumi Nakajima, the frontline commander of the Japanese army who was attacking the Chinese position head-on and the captain of the 1st Squadron of the 105th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Battalion.

Of course, Nakajima Muwen is not the first time to fight with the Chinese army. It is no stranger to the 921 division active in the Taihang Mountains. Even if there is a tank, the Chinese will not be so weak. So far, they will not shot.

Especially when the Chinese gathered a force that was several times larger than the imperial army and tried to encircle them and eat them.

That's right, when Goto Koshiminami sent a small group of infantry to advance to the commanding heights on both wings but found that Chinese soldiers had quietly occupied the commanding heights, the middle and high-level officers of the Japanese army knew about the Chinese army's intentions.

The Chinese not only want to stop them here, they even want to surround them and eat them up.

The appetite is really big!

However, as the Chinese saying goes: It depends on whether they have such good teeth!

Excluding the 600 people under Omura Hiroshi who are marching on the flanks in the mountains for protection, the total strength of the imperial infantry here is only more than 1,500 people, but they are not an ordinary infantry, but a combined force that integrates artillery, cavalry, and armor!

Rely on those old guns in the hands of the infantry?

Furthermore, the battlefield chosen by the Chinese may be conducive to their encirclement, but given the relatively flat geographical location, what will happen if they encircle it? If you want to fight, you basically have to go below the high ground.

What's more, the divisional army is gathering, and reinforcements will arrive at any time. They may launch a counter-siege against the Chinese in this mountainous area and kill their main force in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the Japanese army was not very concerned about being surrounded. Even the rear sent an infantry squadron for symbolic defense!

The Japanese army had great confidence in conquering the high ground occupied by the Chinese in front of them, but the Japanese infantry, including Captain Nakajima, remained cautious enough!

After all, your life is your own, and you only have one. No one wants to go home in that small wooden box.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no counterattacks on all Chinese positions.

For example, the fighting on both sides of the frontal position was quite fierce. The Chinese not only exposed their light machine guns, but also had grenades and even mortars to help. Two light machine guns and the machine gunner were bombed in succession. The parts that fill the sky are the masterpieces of that terrifying little cannon.

The Japanese infantry on both sides of the battlefield were basically shooting at the Chinese on the position more than 200 meters away.

Although the Japanese infantry had a slight advantage in firepower with the support of Type 94 light tanks, it was by no means as big as the gap between them and other Chinese troops on the plains of Hebei Province.

The Japanese army has strong tactical skills and accurate shooting skills. However, the elites who have experienced thousands of miles of strategic shifts are definitely not weak. Even if they lower their heads extremely low, their marksmanship can be called accurate. In addition, the advantage of the terrain offsets some of it. Japanese superiority in firepower.

Therefore, on the two flanks, the two sides were evenly matched in attack and defense. It was difficult for the Japanese army to make any progress, and the defenders who were holding back their efforts to kill the Japanese invaders did not expect to shoot the Japanese invaders to their knees. Who could It didn't take much advantage either.

But only on the frontal position where the defense line was longer and definitely more important, the situation was so weird. The Chinese did not show up or shoot, which formed an extremely weird contrast with the fierce fighting on both sides.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. The strange situation on the frontal position may not only be thought by Captain Nakajima, but also by almost all Japanese soldiers.

As a result, the nerves in the minds of the more than 180 Japanese soldiers on the nearly 500-meter frontal defense line were tense. Once there was any disturbance, they had to crawl and dodge. The Chinese who dared to take the lead were left to those hiding behind the iron sheets. The armored soldiers behind the steel armor have been dealt with.

Thinking of those colleagues who could hide comfortably and without danger in invulnerable tanks, dragging them like 2,580,000 men, but I had to risk my life as a Japanese infantry soldier at any time. It is inevitable that they will feel a little angry.

Naturally, asking those 'bastards' to work more on the battlefield became the psychological projection of the Japanese infantry.

“Phew!” A sharp bamboo whistle sounded.

Suddenly hearing the sudden sound of a bamboo whistle on the Chinese position, the already tense Japanese infantrymen were naturally frightened and thought that the Chinese had some terrible plot.

Those with more imagination even thought of the overwhelming mortar shells flying in the sky. When tanks hundreds of meters away opened fire to suppress the Chinese positions, they used mortars to prove that they had such terrifying little weapons. Cannon.

Mortars may not be very effective in destroying tanks, but they can destroy people one by one. If you want to say what the Japanese infantry hate the most about the weapons equipped by the Chinese army, long-handled grenades that are equipped in large numbers rank first. The 82-caliber mortar is definitely qualified to rank second.

Post-war statistics show that during the entire Anti-Japanese War, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers died from 82 mortars. Even the "Flower of Famous Generals" died under this kind of artillery.

I can only hope that Amaterasu will bless me. If you want to blow up, just blow up others, just don't blow up yourself. A group of Japanese soldiers who had prepared themselves mentally but were still scared to death wanted to hide their faces in the dirt in front of them.

If you don't hide it deeper, what if shrapnel flies over?

Similar to the tradition in the Chinese army, not everyone is qualified to become the first infantry squadron of the first infantry brigade. The first infantry squadron under Nakajima Kifumi is the famous sharp-sword infantry squadron of the 105th Infantry Regiment. Within a second or two, the tactical reaction of more than 180 people crawling collectively can also be glimpsed!

It's just that the soil on the hillside where the shells exploded is a bit soft! Also, why does it still smell a little strange? A trace of doubt flashed in the mind of the Japanese soldier who slammed himself to the ground and lowered his head without hesitation.

Obviously, this perception is wrong.

The technical and tactical level of the Japanese artillery is very high, but the altitude of the Beiganling Mountains is not high.

The vertical height of the hill across the only road connecting Licheng and Lucheng is never more than 400 meters, and the **** is gentle. Because the ridge is narrow, building the position on the ridge provides the most accurate coordinates for the Japanese artillery and does not extend enough. This would lead to heavy infantry casualties, so the 769th Regiment, which arrived 20 minutes in advance of the Japanese army, built its position on the mountainside, and the company and platoon-level positions were staggered and not on the same level. This also ensured that the Japanese army could break through. The entire defense line collapsed!

When we say that the Japanese army's artillery skills and tactics are high, it means that the Japanese army's artillery fire is almost concentrated around the position, and the error rarely exceeds 50 meters! This is of course also related to the fact that the Japanese army is equipped with a large number of 92 infantry guns. Except for the four 75-caliber mountain guns, the other infantry guns are placed less than 1,200 meters away from the front line. At such a short range, the 92 is a direct-aiming gun. If the error of the infantry artillery is still more than 50 meters, then the Japanese artillery can really go to shit.

Those craters fifty or sixty meters outside the position are mostly left by 75-caliber mountain artillery, which are howitzers. Such errors are normal, otherwise the Japanese infantry would not be able to follow the extended artillery fire!

If they could reach 100 meters of infantry and artillery coordination, then this battle would be almost unnecessary and completely unwinnable.

Therefore, the reason why the land is soft 100 meters in front of the position is not caused by the shells at all, but because that area is farmland, to be precise, it is a corn field.

There are many stone mountains in the Taihang Mountains, but the Beiganling area is an exception. Compared with Dakouzidong, the current residence of the Sixings Regiment, the land is called "fertile"!

At that time, there was no concept of converting farmland into forests. The mountain people would not care about the green mountains and green waters, so they naturally cut down the trees and opened them into fields.

To put it bluntly, the area 60 to 120 meters below the frontal position, perhaps because the soil is the best, is all farmland cultivated by Chinese mountain people for generations.

What crops are most abundant in the mountains? Besides corn, what else is there? This thing can survive as long as it is given some rain, and it can have a good harvest if it is given enough rain and fertilizer.

Moreover, the yield per acre is high, and the straw can be fed to cattle and horses. It is simply the most suitable crop for the mountain people who are struggling in the barren mountains.

The whole mountain has not been developed into a corn field, probably because there are not enough manpower. Otherwise, in summer, the cliffs here will be covered with corn cobs.

"Baga! Damn the Chinese, what did they put here? What on earth is this?" A Japanese second lieutenant pulled his face out of the "mud" with some difficulty. It's really pulled out. The soil in China is really very sticky. If I had to find an adjective, Second Lieutenant Matsuda, who grew up in a rural area, had only one noun in his mind to describe it: fertile.

This is definitely fertile land. It can make Xiang come out of his face. At least, that's how Second Lieutenant Matsuda, who was born in a farm family, feels.

As the commander of the desperate squad personally appointed by Captain Nakajima, more than 40 people led by Second Lieutenant Matsuda rushed to the front of the entire infantry squadron, at least fifty meters away from the main force in the rear.

However, although it is a death squad, it does not mean that the death squad must die. Lieutenant Matsuda still wants to return to the island alive and bring back glory and money.

Lieutenant Matsuda, who did not want to die, definitely belonged to the agile category. After hearing the sound of the bamboo whistle, he roared "Lie down and take cover" and threw himself down in the dust as quickly as possible.

But I didn't expect that China's land would be so fertile. I accidentally buried my head too hard and buried it in the “soil”.

Furthermore, he was a little ridiculously fat. For some reason, he was so choked by the Chinese "soil" that he almost couldn't breathe. Lieutenant Matsuda, who wiped the end of his nose several times before he could breathe normally again, actually smelled it.

The smell of farmyard manure.

However, Lieutenant Matsuda couldn't think deeply about the coming hail of bullets that could take away lives. He just wanted to bury his head lower. The land full of the smell of farmyard manure brought about A good harvest is hope. Compared with the coming hail of bullets, it is simply not too beautiful.

It wasn't until two minutes passed that Lieutenant Matsuda raised his head and asked the sergeant beside him angrily.

Because, there is a premonition that is getting stronger and stronger for Matsuda Sakane, a farmer's boy.

It really smells like that!

Baga's smells too bad.

The Japanese sergeant who was only three meters away from him was stunned.

He dared to say that he had never seen a person who could apply that thing on his face so evenly.

The black is tinged with yellow, and the yellow is tinged with some indescribable colors, covering the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and face of the Japanese second lieutenant.

Furthermore, there are several indescribable white bugs dancing crazily on it, twisting their fat and soft bodies.

How do you describe that feeling? The sergeant can guarantee that even if he saw with his own eyes a few drunk Chinese villagers who dared to break into a Chinese mountain village to have some fun, but were spared and stoned their colleagues to death, the faces whose facial features could not be distinguished at all, he did not compare with Jimmy. It felt even more disgusting to see Second Lieutenant Matsuda outside looking at each other like this.

I felt disgusted as never before, and I even had the urge to smash the officer to the ground with the **** of my rifle.

Is this the legendary "smearing one's face with dung"?

A gust of mountain wind blew, and an extremely smoky smell reached the noses of all the Japanese soldiers who raised their heads.

Because of regional differences, different appearances, different languages, and different cultures, there are many human differences between different ethnic groups, but they may be almost identical in one aspect.

excrement.

Exposed to the eyes of the Japanese army, Second Lieutenant Matsuda's face was yellow, black, and smelly. Everyone could almost conclude that it was feces.

That's right, they finally recognized it.

That's true, shit.

So, under the stunned gaze of all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion on the position, dozens of Japanese soldiers who had been lying down very carefully jumped up like crazy, desperately took off their military uniforms, some wiped their faces, and some Wipe your hands.

There's no way, it's so disgusting that they would even rather die.

The noble Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire can accept extremely cruel battlefields and can face death fearlessly for His Majesty the Emperor.

But you can't climb on the Chinese people's wings with all your heart, and you can also bury your face in it, as if you smell the fragrance of Mother Earth.

Wait a minute, what is that insect that is crawling crazily on its face like a lover's gentle caress? Aren't they maggots?

Several soldiers who had hidden themselves as tightly as Second Lieutenant Matsuda were vomiting like their commander at this moment.

My mentality is really broken!

This is much more disgusting than the 'shit' landmine that Komura Hiro encountered. After all, it didn't fall off his face. At least there was a place to wipe it, but now, should he wipe it on the ground with his face?

The gentle mountain breeze sent the stench-filled smell accurately to the main queue of Japanese troops fifty meters behind. Captain Nakajima, who also fell to the ground with the fumes, suddenly covered his mouth and nose: "Baga, the Chinese are using poison gas."

“What is that?” A soldier on the Chinese side asked his comrades in shock.

"It seems to be farmyard manure." The veteran, who was over 30 years old, had a strange look on his face.

Although he has been away from his hometown for many years and has rarely farmed due to successive wars, as a rural person who has helped his family with farm work since he was a child, he is very familiar with this taste.

If you don't turn the thing, the smell will only spread for ten to twenty meters, but after it has been soaked for a while, it is turned out and paired with a gust of wind, it is really amazing.

“The fellow villagers here are really hardworking!” the veteran sighed.

Yes, the 769th Regiment, which arrived at the battlefield only 20 minutes earlier than the Japanese army, was pretty good if it could build a simple bunker. Then there was time to do that.

These masterpieces are all thanks to the hard-working mountain people of the Taihang Mountains. Around April is the best time to plant spring corn. Although it is not the time yet, if you spread enough farm manure on the field, you can have a good harvest this year.

Although there is a war, people also have to eat during the war!

So, the Chinese mountain people who dreamed of eating had not yet seen the harvest, but they first fed the dozens of Japanese infantrymen who invaded their homes with shit!

Perhaps this is the legendary cause and effect!
