Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 931

Chapter 931: Go towards the moth, towards the fire! (Please give me a monthly pass at the end of the month!)

“Dong dong dong!” The frightening dull sound of cannon fire suddenly sounded.

Of course, this is not what the Japanese soldiers can hear.

That is the sound that can only be heard from the Chinese artillery position.

The 771st Regiment on the flank is located somewhere in the mountains. Four 37mm anti-tank guns and four infantry guns are firing one after another. It is only 700 meters away from the battlefield where the Japanese army has begun a large-scale charge!

That artillery piece does not belong to the 683rd Brigade, but to the Fourth Line Regiment.

In order to cooperate with the shocking decision made by Brigadier Cheng, the Four Lines Regiment took out almost all the artillery they had at the bottom of the box. Except for Cheng Tietsou who brought one part of the 2nd artillery company for the air defense of Licheng, all the other direct-aimed artillery were carried. .

This is one of the reasons why the Four-Hinges Group walked the 40-mile mountain road for a full five hours.

More than 20 artillery pieces are big guys. The 150-heavy mortar body and gun mount weighs 220 kilograms, the Type 41 mountain gun weighs 700 kilograms, the 37mm rapid-fire gun weighs 450 kilograms, and the Type 92 infantry gun weighs 200 kilograms. In addition, A total of more than 1,000 rounds of artillery shells were carried on board. The two artillery companies and the baggage troops were equipped with more than 150 packhorses and nearly 30 carts.

Other officers and soldiers are also fully armed. Each soldier is issued 100 rounds of ammunition and 4 grenades. Together with the water, biscuits and other supplies carried, the weight of each soldier exceeds 10 kilograms.

The Fourth Line Regiment was completely marching with heavy equipment in the mountainous areas. They could walk 4 kilometers per hour, which was extremely fast as their physical strength allowed.

Marching with light equipment can make the march faster. The advantage of marching with heavy equipment is that the firepower is not less.

Tang Dao led two infantry companies and one cavalry company in a 10-mile detour to attack the Japanese rear. Naturally, the artillerymen of the Sixing Regiment were not idle either. Under Tang Dao's order, Pang Panghai took several heavy artillery and mortars to cooperate. The main force of the Fourth Line Regiment fought head-on with the 769th Regiment, while all direct-aiming guns were transferred to the flanks.

Although the mountain road was rugged, fortunately there were many people in the 771st regiment. After receiving the order from Brigadier Cheng, the regiment actually dispatched two infantry companies. They all dropped their rifles and grenades and relied purely on manpower to launch four 37mm anti-tank guns. and 4 infantry guns and 200 rounds of artillery shells, moved to the mountain.

These 8 artillery pieces were Tang Dao's bargaining chip to wait here for the Japanese tanks. They were also the reason why Brigadier Cheng decided to postpone the mobilization of the main forces on both wings in accordance with Tang Dao's wishes.

If 8 artillery pieces can destroy the Japanese tanks, the Japanese infantry who have begun to charge will be like moths rushing to the flames, crashing into the bonfire that is about to ignite.

But Brigadier Cheng, who has been observing the battlefield with a telescope, is still nervous. In fact, the battlefield is not a war game. It does not mean that having eight direct-aimed guns will definitely defeat the Japanese tanks. This depends on the level of the artillery of the Fourth Army Regiment. .

Obviously, the skills of the artillerymen of the Four Lines Regiment, who had experienced countless **** battles, exceeded the imagination of the talented military generals.

Just the first round of test firing stopped the Type 89 tank that was leading the way.

Two infantry artillery shells landed less than 5 meters away from both sides of the Type 89 tank, exploding into a ball of fire. Unknown amounts of mud and rocks hit the armor of the Type 89 tank.

　　No one knows how panicked the Japanese armored soldiers were, but the Japanese Army Colonel, a few hundred meters behind, turned pale at that time!

Looking at several fireballs rising in the tank array, not to mention the Japanese army commander is still a smart man, even if he is a brainless person, he now understands why the Chinese position opposite is so quiet. They are waiting for the opportunity.

Waiting for the imperial infantry to launch a charge, waiting for their direct-aimed artillery to destroy the imperial tank. Once the tank's sturdy and huge body and machine gun firepower are lost, and the infantry alone is used to attack the opponent's established defense line, who knows how many imperial infantry will Falling on the path of charge.

But even if he already knows the Chinese intentions at this moment, what can the Japanese Army Colonel do? The order to charge has been issued, and hundreds of imperial infantry have already rushed out more than ten meters with enough strength. In just over a hundred meters, they can rush into the trenches and tear the Chinese there to pieces with bullets and bayonets.

This is no longer about having to fire the arrow on the string, but about firing the bow without turning back!

"Kill the chickens! All troops, come with me! Charge!" The pale-faced Japanese Army Colonel immediately made the wisest choice at this time. He pulled out his command sword and roared towards the front.

Hundreds of Japanese troops, led by a Japanese army colonel, charged wildly!

The firing of eight artillery pieces in the mountains not only failed to delay the Japanese advance, but instead caused its reserves to enter a charging state.

Standing at the position of Brigadier Cheng at this time, the field of view of the telescope is covered with 'shit yellow' that keeps moving forward!

The four infantry guns at the rear of the Japanese army also began to roar, and four **** of orange-red flames bloomed on the hills on both sides of the circular trench!

These Japanese soldiers, who were driven crazy by death, seemed to be living toward death!

At that moment, even though I had seen many talented generals who were even bigger than this scene, I couldn't help but tremble a little.

Not to mention hundreds of people charging to the death, in his memory, there were even thousands of people charging, and that was during the 'Counter Encirclement' battle five years ago, but its momentum was far inferior to that of hundreds of people. Compared with the Japanese army composed of human beings.

If he was asked to lead two infantry companies to guard there, no, even if there was an infantry battalion, even if there were 8 direct-aimed guns to assist the battle, he didn't know if he could hold on to the position and prevent a single Japanese soldier from escaping. .

It can be said that judging from the desperate attitude and momentum displayed by more than 600 Japanese troops in the 108th Division, the second-line division of the Japanese Army, the Japanese Army's combat power level, let alone being the best in Asia, can also be ranked among the top in the world. three.

It is a pity that the more than 600 Japanese troops, who were full of fighting spirit despite repeated defeats, encountered a force that was completely different from this era.

It's not that their commander has insights far beyond this era that makes this unit a little different, but that they have rushed out of mortal battlefields time and time again, and their fighting will has been tempered like refined steel.

This is the main reason why they remained calm when facing the crazy charge of more than 600 Japanese troops led by 6 steel behemoths.

For example, a regimental commander who was leaning against the military regulations of the Fourth Army in a trench with the soldiers looked up at the Japanese invaders who were charging a hundred meters away, and slightly curled his lips and sang a "drama": I will pay for you. So much, but it makes me so painful that I can't even describe it, because I love you like a moth flying towards the fire.

What is this? A group of soldiers around a certain regiment were all puzzled. Not to mention the strange tone of this drama, how could they still keep coming back to this phrase?

Tanzou's brain may not be working very well recently, he must have been involved in too many wars! Li Jijin glanced at the orderly Erya, indicating that the battle was over and that he wanted to get some meat for a nervous group member.

Erya looked up at the sky speechlessly!

Of course, there must be people who are afraid.

For example, most of the new recruits who joined the Si Xing Regiment were scared to death, but the veterans' relaxed appearance as they leaned in the trenches with cigarettes in their mouths gave them the confidence not to pee their pants.

"Tanks are nothing. When I fought in Songjiang, I even withstood the Japanese 105 howitzer!" The veterans expressed their disdain when the Type 89 tank roared over.

Veterans like to brag, but never Xia Jiba's bragging, no matter what they say, there is some factual basis.

Furthermore, the story of Qian Dazhu's exceptional promotion to company commander has long been known to everyone in the Si Xing Regiment. The reason why his infantry company was about to be wiped out by the regiment was not because the Japanese 105 howitzer was too terrifying! No fortification can stop a blow from that thing.

Comparatively speaking, the Type 89 tank is really worthless. Even if there is no rapid-fire gun and infantry gun to assist, the trenches have already prepared incendiary bottles and explosive packets. If it doesn't work, it will blow it up.

The few recruits in the Seventh Company were calmed down by the calmness of the veterans, not to mention the guard company. They were reorganized from the original Leng Feng First Company and were the only unit in the entire Four Lines Regiment that did not absorb new recruits. All the vacancies were All were drawn from veterans of each infantry company.

There is no need for any reason. It is enough to know that they are a guard company and the last card in the hands of the regimental commander. Even someone as stingy as Li Jiujin has never raised an opinion because of this.

The stopped Type 89 tank tried hard to adjust its turret, trying to use its short and thick 57MM tank gun to fight back at the incoming direction; the sudden smoke rising in the distance actually made the armored squadron deputy's head exposed outside the turret. The enemy attack location was found.

However, the four 37mm rapid-fire cannons that had been tested did not give them a chance. From the beginning, the 8 cannons regarded this big guy with artillery as the main target, and almost all the 8 shells were directed at it.

A 70mm infantry gun shell hit the track of the Type 89 tank. As the flames rose, the steel track broke. The moving Type 89 tank suddenly lost power. Then, three consecutive 37mm shells hit the tank. .

A large hole visible to the naked eye appeared in the huge body of the 89 tank. The Japanese army lieutenant closest to the turret mouth panicked and stretched his upper body out of the tank. Looking at it, he seemed to want to abandon the tank and escape.

But in an instant, the flames emanating from the inside of the tank surrounded him, and the whole person became a burning man. He rolled off the roof of the vehicle and then rolled wildly in an attempt to extinguish the flames on himself.

But at this time, all the Japanese infantry who were originally following the tanks were already charging forward with guns in their hands. The Japanese troops who were already charging behind were still about 200 meters away. Who could care about this poor guy?

If you follow the script, this person's ending is that he rolled and stopped moving, letting the burning flames use his flesh, flesh and fat as raw materials, and finally turned into a dark but slightly fragrant piece of barbecue.

But the battlefield is so cruel, and it never follows a regular script. A panicked Type 94 tank reversed crazily, and its tracks just ran over the rolling Japanese army lieutenant.

“Bang!” There was a muffled sound, which seemed so insignificant on the battlefield at this time, but it should be the sound of the head being crushed. The five little Doudings were completely panicked after the boss was hit by a direct-aimed artillery fire and turned into a pile of blazing fire.

Compared with the 25 mm thick armor of the Type 89 tank, Xiaoduding, which weighs only several tons and has an average thickness of only 7 mm, is a scumbag. The 70 mm shells of the 92 infantry gun can easily kill it at 1,000 meters away. Explode.

Furthermore, the mentality of the Japanese armored soldiers is different from that of the infantry. The infantry have been wandering on the edge of life and death for a long time and have a certain acceptance of death, but the armored soldiers protected by armor have no such concept.

So, in the face of a crisis, their performance was extremely inferior to that of the infantry who were still marching forward.

These guys neither moved forward nor retreated. Instead, they displayed a snake-like maneuver on the battlefield. Their purpose was nothing more than one word: Don't hit me!

The eight artillery squads of the Fourth Army Regiment didn't know what was going on in the hearts of these Japanese armored soldiers. As soon as they saw the 89 tank exploded, they naturally targeted the five little Doudings in various coquettish positions.

The cannonballs kept blasting at Xiaodou Ding. Regardless of whether they hit or not, fireballs continued to rise on the battlefield until one of the parties was completely motionless.

At this time, the Japanese infantry shouting "board load" had almost rushed to the fifty meters in front of the circular defense line.

Victory is right in front of them. Many Japanese soldiers already have melon-style grenades in their hands. They will throw grenades forward as soon as they sprint another 20 meters. Then comes their final sprint, and then they will use bullets and bayonets to kill all the enemies in front of them. .

This scene is not unfamiliar to them. They have experienced it personally many times on the battlefield in North China.

“Hit!” Tang Dao, who was located in the ring fortification, picked up his semi-automatic rifle and opened fire first.

Erya beside him fired into the sky.

“Boom!” The red signal flare burst into brilliant light in the sky.

No one can describe in words the gunshots that broke out on the position at this time!

That was too dense, three times more dense than the sound of a hundred hanging whips being lit at the same time during the Chinese New Year.

Because it was the sound of four heavy machine guns, a dozen light machine guns and two MG34s, plus dozens of submachine guns, shell guns, semi-automatic rifles, and more than two hundred single-shot rifles.

How can we describe this kind of firepower density that can spit out nearly two thousand rounds of bullets in ten seconds? If it were placed on a battlefield of the level of the Battle of Songhu, it might be called nothing.

After all, it was a large-scale battle involving tens of thousands of people fighting fiercely.

But here, it was three hundred Japanese soldiers who endured all this.

In the end, no one of the Japanese infantrymen who rushed forward could realize their previous ambitions of flashing images in their minds, because no one could rush within a distance of 40 meters.

Viewed from a high altitude, the surging 'shit yellow' is like a row of huge waves that could have swept everything. In an instant, this row of huge waves seemed to have photographed a billion-year-old reef, and he was shot to pieces. At the same time, there is no choice but to retreat.

But it has to be said that the so-called "onboard charge" is very naughty. Even if it encounters such powerful firepower, especially the two MG34s deployed on the left and right wings each fired 300 rounds of bullets in one go, like the **** of death waving a sickle back and forth on the Japanese ranks. After several rounds of sweeps, at least more than 60 Japanese soldiers fell under the guns of these two "widow-making machines".

But the Japanese soldiers who shouted "on board" still rushed towards the man, as if they were physically borrowing bullets, and they were still charging.

There is no doubt that Tang Tuanzuo and his subordinates will not show any mercy in the face of these guys who are actively seeking death.

There is no need to aim at all, just shoot, shoot, and shoot again.

The Japanese fell to the ground like a felled tree.

The courage to fight to the death was completely shattered in the face of crazy firepower.

It can be said that this was a massacre, an out-and-out unilateral massacre.

Because, in order to ensure the success rate, many Chinese soldiers in the trenches and on the hills even forgot about the danger. Instead of shooting from a prone position, they stood upright in the trenches with their entire upper body exposed and fired with their guns.

But very few were hit by the dying Japanese troops.

Don't talk about a battle damage ratio of ten to one, even dozens to one is not necessarily the case.

The Japanese are crazy, and the Chinese soldiers here are also not cowards, and they are not merciless at all when killing the Japanese.

The bullet range of Chinese soldiers is more than a few dozen meters or a hundred meters. The total range of more than 20 machine guns exceeds 500 meters.

An unknown number of bullets passed through the gaps in the first wave of Japanese troops and were shot to the rear.

Although the two waves of Japanese troops were nearly 200 meters apart, they were still overwhelmed.

When the first wave of Japanese troops was nearly wiped out, the Japanese troops who had rushed 150 meters in front of the position were completely destroyed in their will to fight. No one moved forward anymore, and they all chose to crawl on the ground.

This approach is undoubtedly the difference between dying early and dying late.

“Good fight!” Brigadier Cheng on the mountain peak waved his fist fiercely, smiling for the first time on his face.

Turning his head, he faced the officers standing beside him, "Captain Tang of the Four Elements Regiment tried his best to avoid the loss of our troops! Now, it's our turn. Order! Charge the entire army! Complete annihilation. This Japanese army!”

The sound of the charge horn "Tick Tick! Tick Tock!" resounded throughout the mountains and fields.

In the sky, several red flares were bright and dazzling.

“Kill!” More than 6,000 soldiers fought out from all over Beiganling.

To use the original words of a veteran soldier who told the story of the Anti-Japanese War to school students decades later: That should be the most magnificent scene I have ever seen in my life. The entire mountain range was covered by the uniforms of our Chinese soldiers. The Japanese devils A little yellow is just insignificant.

From that moment on, I knew that we, China, would definitely win this war, because we have so many people!

Grandpa is so cute, the elementary school students who are not familiar with the world couldn't help cheering.

When he was young, the veteran warrior's mind was very simple, believing that having more people would win the final victory!

That is a fact, but it is not necessarily true.

However, even the veteran soldiers who have reached old age already know that what truly determines the direction of the war must be an unyielding will.

A group of sheep cannot pose any threat to a lion!

But in his heart, the scene that day, with thousands of people running wildly in the mountains of China, must be a scene he will never forget in his life.

“Baga!” Goto Koshiminan howled in despair.

It's just that this miserable howl seemed so insignificant on a battlefield that was already occupied by gunshots and shouts of killing.

It was like no one cared whether he, the Japanese army commander, was dead or alive.
