Rise From Eight Hundred

On a starless night, Azhen did not meet Aqiang!

But Yin Tengyangtai unexpectedly strengthened his strength, although he did not really want to.

It was a team of about 360 people, not only infantry, but also artillery and engineers.

Not only did they carry rifles and machine guns, but they also had an infantry artillery, which was a miracle when the Chinese army sent a large number of troops into the mountains to block them.

It turned out that the miracle was brought by an old Chinese woodcutter who had lived in the mountains for a long time.

The old woodcutter, who was over 60 years old, had lived alone in the mountains for more than 15 years, and was almost isolated from information from the outside world. He didn't know anything about Japan. More than ten years of living alone even made him unable to speak.

Then, he was caught by the remnants of the Japanese army who were eager to escape. The mountains here were a disaster for the Chinese and Japanese armies, but for this old man, it was really nothing.

Originally, this Chinese old man was also very stubborn. He would not say a word to the foreigners who were yelling in ghost language. However, the desperate Japanese army threatened the old man with a little wild boar, and the old man surrendered.

The little wild boar was no more than half a year old, but it was smooth and shiny, which was in sharp contrast to the skinny old man. It was clean and there was no rope tied to it. When the old man was caught, it was angry and wanted to bite him. It was only because the old man restrained himself that he stopped.

It should be that the old man who had lived in the mountains for a long time was too lonely and lonely. He treated the little wild boar he picked up as his own child, and it was definitely not for eating meat when it grew up. The Japanese were not stupid. They could still observe the relationship between people and pigs through bits and pieces.

But they didn't expect the old man to value the little pig so much that he surrendered so easily.

The old man led the Japanese army along a forest trail. Although it was still rugged and difficult to walk, they miraculously bypassed the two lines of defense set up by the reconnaissance company of the Fourth Regiment and the First Battalion, until they ran into the sentries set up by Yin Tengyangtai and his team at dawn.

To be honest, in the refreshing mountain breeze, Yin Tengyangtai, who had almost escaped death, saw this 360-man remnant, even though his troops had expanded to 500 people in an instant, and had the heavy firepower of four heavy machine guns and an infantry gun, but he was not happy at all.

Not only did he know that this might be the last survivor of the Second Mixed Brigade, but more importantly, the more people there were at this time, the greater the possibility of exposure.

Moreover, the escort squadron with only 140 people left now brought three days of rations. Seeing that the guys fled in a hurry, they didn't even bring a rice ball except for guns and ammunition. Damn, if everyone is like this, he, the chief of staff of the center left, will have to rely on the northwest wind to survive tomorrow.

As for Yamamoto, what else can he do besides groaning on the stretcher? If it weren't for his stupid choice, how could the brigade have fallen to this point?

After a night of pain, Yin Tengyangtai almost didn't bother to look at the pale face of the brigade commander Yamamoto.

But Yamamoto still had moments of clarity, and he was clear for a few minutes at dawn. However, after seeing the more than 300 remnants of the embarrassed army, knowing that the brigade's defense line had been breached during the day yesterday, and that the army of 3,500 people when they left was only two or three big cats and kittens he saw, a mouthful of old blood sprayed on Yin Tengyangtai's left body who pretended to be attentive and helped him up.

If it weren't for the need for this loyal guard squadron No. 140's mascot, Yin Tengyangtai would have thrown this old guy into the ravine to feed the wolves long ago.

"Burn the brigade flag!" This was the military order issued by Major General Yamamoto when he fell into a coma again.

In the slightly cold mountain breeze, Yin Tengyangtai couldn't help shivering! This shows that Yamamoto, who fell into a coma again, had despaired of getting out of this mountainous area, and even thought that the last 500 people of the brigade would be caught up by the Chinese and killed in this Chinese mountain.

Although he had many complaints about Yamamoto, Yin Tengyangtai knew that he could not catch up with his immediate superior in judging the war situation.

The frustrated Japanese army began to burn paper, no, to burn flags, on the mountain road in Qiqu.

There was no more solemnity and tragic scene of the flag guards marching in front of the imperial warriors in a line when "burning" the military flag. The flag guard lieutenant in the brigade guard team took out the carefully preserved brigade flag and flagpole, and without fuel, he directly set fire to the dead leaves covered with it, and turned it into a ball of ashes under the sad gaze of a limited number of officers.

It's not that Yin Tengyang didn't want to express his respect for the brigade flag bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor, but the mountain road was too narrow, and it was difficult for two people to stand on it. If the flag guards wanted to line up and start walking, all the others, including him, the supreme commander, had to jump up the mountain and hold the tree trunk to watch the ceremony.

What did that look like? A group of monkeys? Or Japanese macaques.

At this time, the sound of gunfire in the distance rang again.

All the Japanese soldiers knew that the Chinese couldn't wait to search the mountain. They should now use their superior forces to blast out the prey that might be hidden in the mountain like the traditional hunting, and then kill them one by one.

Whether it was a single person or a small team of dozens of people, there was almost no chance of survival in the face of such a search.

In fact, even if they escaped by chance, the outcome of not having any food supplies in such a mountain would be death.

If these 500 people wanted to survive, they had to leave here before the main force of China arrived in this area, the farther the better.

A Japanese second lieutenant raised his rifle against the head of a young wild boar that was eating grass on the grass, forcing the old man who looked extremely tired to continue leading the way.

Take the kind of back roads that Chinese soldiers would not take.

It's okay if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, but when you see this extremely funny scene with your own eyes, Yoto Yota Nakazuo, who has veins jumping in his temples, really wants to pick up a machine gun and kill these embarrassing guys.

When did the mighty Imperial Japanese Army resort to threatening a pig to find a way out?

But the facts are right in front of us. If it weren't for the existence of this sleek and semi-large wild boar, the gray-haired old Chinese man would have thought of jumping off the cliff.

It's a pity that we can't worry about this person and that person!

The old man once again gave in because of the 'little cutie' he had raised.

We could only continue to lead the way for this group of foreigners who spoke ghost language. Several Japanese officers who were proficient in Chinese finally understood from the old man's very imitating Jin Province dialect. No matter which road we took, the small village at the junction of the mountains Mountainous areas must be passed.

After hundreds of Japanese troops spent more than two hours walking to the mountainous area the old man talked about, most of the Japanese troops stayed in the dense forest, waiting to send out elite soldiers to the left and right wings for reconnaissance.

Half an hour later, the reconnaissance results were placed in front of the anxious Yin Tengyota. It was undoubtedly a painful result.

Not only are there Chinese here, but the Chinese defense line in this mountainous area is more than 1,000 meters long. The areas where there are no Chinese soldiers are either cliffs or cliffs. If you want to take a detour, unless everyone has wings and becomes---- -Birdman.

This is a dead end, a dead end!

But all the Japanese troops knew that they had no chance of turning back. The Chinese who were chasing them and the difficult mountain road would not give them another two hours.

There is no choice but to attack the Chinese defense line. If you rush through, you will live. If you cannot rush through, you will die.

Finally, the advantage of gathering more than 360 Japanese remnants was revealed. Into Yota had a total of 500 soldiers in his hands, and he was at least capable of fighting.

He organized the 500 people who had been completely broken up into seven infantry squads, a heavy machine gun squad and an infantry artillery squad. In order to ensure that the seven infantry squads had sufficient execution capabilities, their squad leaders were all lieutenants from the escort squadron.

Moreover, in order to ensure the loyalty of this group of defeated soldiers, Yota Into ordered the staff officers to record the name and original brigade and squadron of each soldier during the march, and deceived them that if there were deserters, their names would be broadcast over the radio Report to headquarters.

How do a group of defeated soldiers know that their center-left chief of staff, who looks like a lost dog, doesn't even have a field radio? If you really want to be called a deserter, your family members in the country will also be affected, which is more terrifying than death.

After being coaxed like this by Yin Teng Youta, coupled with the already strict hierarchy in the Japanese army, why didn't you just obey the orders obediently?

One infantry squad is responsible for guarding the safety of the commander, six infantry squads are responsible for attacking the highlands where Chinese people are active, and the heavy machine gun squad provides fire cover for the infantry in the rear.

In the rear, the artillery team that had moved the infantry cannons up the hillside poured the few artillery shells they carried onto the hilltop occupied by the first battalion, second company and one platoon before the six infantry teams began their attack.

It can only be said that Yin Teng Youta was really lucky. If he had not encountered the remnants of this brigade, and these Japanese still had infantry artillery, then he would have had to wait to die in the mountains, unlike now, at least There is still a chance to fight to the death.

With the help of this infantry artillery and up to ten grenade launchers, the Japanese offensive was pretty much what it was. Amidst the raging bombardment of artillery shells and grenade launchers, fire broke out on the top of the two hills. They had just been built last night. The sandbag fortifications were blown into a mess.

But the Japanese infantry, who believed that if they didn't win or die, they attacked from the first commanding heights before their own artillery fire had completely stopped.

Although the Japanese army is not an expert in mountain warfare, they have a strong learning ability. They did not take advantage of their own firepower to suppress the Chinese and rush into the mountains. They knew that once the Chinese regained their composure and used machine guns to shoot down from above, they would Within a few hundred meters, almost no one can escape. They must seize one or two commanding heights to ensure that most of their own people can escape into the mountains. At that time, the real dragon will return to the sea. It depends on who can escape.

The Japanese soldiers who often undergo endurance training are very confident. When it comes to running away, they are very strong. Although it was a bit embarrassing to take away the marching ability that I was once proud of, but at this time, no one could care about it. Short legs also have the advantage of being faster, right?

The reaction of the first platoon was not unpleasant. Through observation, they found that the Japanese army was not just a few dozen people, but a large force with heavy machine guns and infantry artillery. There were hundreds of people at least. They fired three red flares to ask for help from the company headquarters. , while organizing a counterattack.

Although there is only one mortar at present, it is not a living thing. It continuously bombards the Japanese infantry artillery to suppress fire, making it impossible for the Japanese infantry artillery to fully cover the infantry.

Over there, Wei Donglai was also shocked when he received the request for help.

He knew the personality of his platoon leader very well. Unless there was an emergency, he would never use the three highest-level red flares to call for help. To allow an infantry platoon occupying high ground with a strength of more than 80 people to ask for help can only mean that the strength of the Japanese troops attacking its defense line far exceeds their defense capabilities.

Without bothering to find out why there were so many Japanese troops here, Wei Donglai, who was still more than 2,000 meters away from here, quickly drew troops from the defense line and reported the situation to Lei Xiong by radio.

Lei Xiong was also stunned, but reacted quickly, and immediately drew 3 infantry platoons to move closer to the position of the 1st platoon of the 2nd company.

But when marching in the mountains, even if you stand on the opposite side, you can see the other side's figure. If you want to rush to the other side's position, it may take a long time. This is also the main reason why young men and women in the mountains are popular with mountain songs. You can fall in love by shouting, and you don't have to look at the face. It's simply a long-distance relationship in the mountains.

For a long time, the first platoon and the second platoon that was drawing troops to support not far away could only rely on themselves.

On the Japanese side, after several tentative attacks, dozens of casualties were killed and wounded. The casualties were not very heavy, and there was no waste.

Although they did not find a way to bypass the Chinese army's defense line, they had already asked Yin Tengyangtai, who was standing on the hillside and observing with a telescope, to draw a rough defense zone map based on the area where the Chinese army opened fire.

On the nearly 1,000-meter defense line, the Chinese used the commanding heights of the mountain as points, and five or six commanding heights that were staggered and 200 meters apart were connected to form a line.

Maybe there are more in the rear, but that is a matter for the future. If you can't break through this line, you won't even be qualified to see the Chinese behind.

Therefore, later, according to the characteristics of the Chinese army's defense zone, Yin Tengyangtai quickly adjusted his troop deployment, not attacking from three directions, but changing to two routes.

Three infantry squads of about 170 people were deployed in each direction, and the attack points were the left and right flanks of the entire defense line. Although the mountain road would be more difficult to walk, the blows encountered might be a little smaller.

As long as any of the hills can be captured, perhaps all the troops can escape from it.

This defense line formed by the hills as points seems very strong, but it is actually very weak, and they are unable to continue to deploy troops to one of the hills. As long as one of the points is captured, the entire defense line will be torn apart. Although it will not collapse, it will at least be like a big net with a hole torn, and it will no longer be able to stop the fish in the net from escaping.

Moreover, based on the observation just now, Yin Tengyangtai determined that in order to cast a large net to block more fish that slip through the net, the Chinese will never invest too many troops in one area.

The Chinese here will not exceed 100. Even if they have the advantage of terrain, the difference in the strength of the two sides is huge.

After all, even if he himself did not expect to miraculously gather so many troops, how could the Chinese make such a budget?

Yin Tengyangtai couldn't help but think of what Yamamoto said before he was knocked unconscious by the shell: No matter how bad the cards are, they have to play to the end, otherwise who can know the winner?

The current situation may be that the Chinese have a good hand, but they play the wrong hand in order to win more, while he has a bad hand, but laughs to the end.

Yin Tengyangtai's thoughts are quite beautiful.

If they had met an ordinary Chinese army, they would probably have been forced to watch him capture one of the hilltops despite the heavy casualties, and then cover the main force and escape into the mountains.

You know, Yin Tengyangtai was prepared to sacrifice all six infantry squads as cannon fodder.

Unfortunately, he met the Four-Line Regiment, and the Second Company of the First Battalion, which was awarded the title of "Steel Company" by the Four-Line Regiment.

Although half of the soldiers were new recruits, the backbone was made up of elite veterans supported by various infantry companies.

From the moment they entered the Second Company, the new recruits knew how their infantry company got the title of "Steel Company", which was earned by their predecessors at a 99% casualty rate.

No matter what situation the soldiers of the "Steel Company" encountered, they had to stick to their positions like steel until they were melted by the raging artillery fire.

But the Steel Company was by no means going to die on the battlefield. The First Battalion also gave the Steel Company sufficient and sophisticated equipment at all costs.

The individual equipment of the officers and soldiers of the Steel Company is a semi-automatic rifle with a submachine gun and a Mauser pistol. Even if there are single-shot rifles, they are mostly used by precision shooters.

Not to mention that an infantry squad also has a Czech light machine gun and a Japanese grenade launcher.

The light firepower configuration, even if there are only 80 people in a row, is not weaker than the 340 Japanese troops.
