Rise From Eight Hundred

Chiori Momaki has a very artistic name and a very artistic heart.

Chiori Momaki, who was born in a Kyoto earl family, shocked the Kyoto Poetry Society with a modern poem when he was 16 years old. If he were allowed to continue to move forward according to his own wishes, he would probably become a very talented poet, but unfortunately his family His mission destined him to be unable to linger among the mountains, rivers and fine wines like ordinary literary and artistic young people.

When he was 20 years old, he was sent to the sergeant school by his family. It took him 8 years to grow from a trainee second lieutenant to an army sergeant. This is a very fast promotion for ordinary people, but for a nobleman, It's lagging behind.

This naturally has a lot to do with the mentality of Chiori Momaki, who is not interested in this. After the war started, Army Shao Zuo, who was already considered a marginal figure in the family, was not allowed to enter the A-type division to be gilded so that he could be promoted to a higher rank faster. Instead, he became a young left captain in a second-line division such as the 108th Division.

This time, Qianzhi Baihui was actually very grateful to be personally called upon by the brigade commander to lead his troops around the rear wing of the Chinese army.

Although he is not very interested in serving in the army, it does not mean that Chiori Momaki is unsophisticated. He knows that Kuyeda Shiro is giving him an opportunity to make military exploits, and at the same time, he avoids leading his troops in a hard battle on the front line!

You must know that their opponent is not an ordinary Chinese army, but the Si Xing Regiment, one of the victims of the 108th Division. Whenever they encounter this army, the 108th Division has never escaped unscathed.

A Shaozuo is still a figure in the hearts of ordinary big-headed soldiers, but in the Four Lines Regiment, people don't even bother to take Shaozuo's head as a trophy, because there are too many people slaughtered, and perhaps only people of the Dazuo level can do it. It's pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, Qianzhi Baihui still tried his best for this battle.

Not only did he take the lead in cutting through the thorns with a machete, but he even jumped into the mountain stream and carried wood to build a bridge like ordinary soldiers. It was also stimulated by his selfless spirit that the infantry brigade under his command was able to survive in such a difficult terrain. After spending two days and one night marching more than ten kilometers in the steep mountains, they were about to detour behind Qingshi Rock to encircle the Chinese army.

Once the Chinese troops in the Qingshiyan area are attacked from four directions, the Chinese there will focus on one thing and not the other, and no matter how stubborn the resistance is, it will be in vain!

Magnificent military exploits are right in front of you!

So, on this night, while standing on a mountain ridge and looking at the stars in the sky, Zuo Zuo, a Japanese army officer, became inspired by poetry and recited a poem loudly in his mother tongue.

Translated into Chinese, the general idea is: The stars tonight are so bright, they will become the beacon guiding the imperial warriors to kill the enemy, and the splashed blood will become the most beautiful flowers on the chests of the imperial officers and soldiers...

The literary and artistic Army Shaozuo doesn't know that there is a saying on China's future Internet: Villains often die from talking too much!

The Chinese people don't know how much talent the poem he recited contains, but the Chinese people know that there are Japanese people above their heads.

Strangely enough, the distance will never exceed 40 meters!

Lieutenant Chu Shaoyun, who was leading the team, was sweating on his forehead at that time!

It turned out that although the march was in a strange formation and it was marching in the area where his regiment was stationed, Chu Shaoyun was a lieutenant in the regular army and still formed a scout unit according to military practice.

Tang Tuanzuo’s warning after a tactical class taught by the brigade has always stayed in Chu Shaoyun’s mind: Life is very long and very short. Mistakes and errors will accompany everyone in this long and short life. That is ordinary life. Normal life. But only the commander who arrives on the battlefield is not qualified and cannot have this normal state, because every mistake and mistake he makes must be made up for with the precious lives of his comrades!

Therefore, I hope that you, whether you are a battalion commander, company commander, platoon commander or squad leader, will be extremely cautious every time you command a battle!

You, me and our comrades may all die, but we should never die because of our commander’s stupidity!

Because the security platoons have been basically broken up and organized into companies and platoons to serve as grassroots officers, Chu Shaoyun can only mobilize 10 people at most to form a sharp knife squad, which he personally leads. It should be the only regular infantry squad among the 1,300 people.

At this time, after traveling all night and day, the two and a half companies finally arrived at Erdaoliang, 3,000 meters away from Qingshiyan, carrying heavy equipment and camping for less than 2 hours.

The so-called Erdaoliang is naturally a landform composed of two mountain ridges!

The two mountain ridge slopes formed by nature's miraculous craftsmanship are nearly 80 degrees and almost straight. Except for yellow sheep, almost no living thing can settle on them.

But there is a convenient path for pedestrians between the two ridges, and between the two straight mountain ridges is a relatively gentle hillside of more than 250 meters. The thick bushes on the hillside are nearly one meter deep. Standing at a thousand meters From the outside, it looks like a flat grassland sandwiched between two straight mountain ridges. It has become a must-have place for local hunters to hunt pheasants and hares in autumn.

Although the bushes were overgrown with thorns and there were many mosquitoes and flies, there were enough vegetation and large rocks scattered on the hillside to serve as shelters, so even if they were attacked, they would still be able to fight.

Therefore, the light machine gun company, rifle grenade company and an infantry artillery platoon that arrived at Erdaoliang at dusk chose to use this place as a campsite under the guidance of Teacher Xiao He, waiting only to drag the heavy combat artillery and infantry tomorrow. The company that arrived with the artillery united and went to support the Qingshiyan position.

The militiamen in the army are all locals from Taihang Mountain, so they naturally have special medicines to dispel those annoying mosquitoes. Without mosquito bites, the tired people can sleep normally for a few hours and conserve their energy to wait for entering the battlefield tomorrow.

Chu Shaoyun and others who have been scouting forward for more than 1,500 meters along Erdaoliang are also extremely tired, so the 11 people hid in a natural cave formed under a huge rock to take a rest, intending to recover some energy before returning to the camp.

Unexpectedly, before they fell asleep, a burst of excited chatter came from above their heads, which directly startled all 11 elite soldiers.

Are there Japanese here too? Could it be the legendary Japanese special forces?

Then, accompanied by a low military order, there were constant dull footsteps, and the flashlight light that was covered by the gauze and weakened a lot was reflected in the eyes of the army lieutenant who was quietly looking out.

Teams of Japanese troops crossed a low hill in Erdaoliang and entered the relatively low and flat bushes inside Erdaoliang.

"Oh my god! There is at least one Japanese infantry battalion here! Platoon leader, we have to inform Director He and the others to move." A sergeant widened his eyes and reminded Chu Shaoyun in a startled voice.

The army sergeant originally belonged to the 67th Army and was also a veteran who had experienced the Songjiang Battle. He had seen all kinds of battlefields, but when he saw a Japanese infantry battalion of 1,000 people less than a kilometer away from his own people, his hair stood up.

It was not about how strong the combat effectiveness of a Japanese infantry battalion was, but he did not have much confidence in his two and a half years, which were almost composed of students, workers, and militia.

Especially under Chu Shaoyun's crazy organization, whether it was a light machine gun company or a rifle grenade company, there were basically no rifles.

For example, a light machine gun had one main shooter, one deputy shooter, and one ammunition handler. Among the three, the main shooter is responsible for carrying personal supplies such as light machine guns and helmets weighing up to 10 kilograms, while the deputy shooter and ammunition handler are responsible for carrying all ammunition, as well as engineer shovels, food, clean water and other supplies. During the battle, the deputy shooter and ammunition handler must be able to build field fortifications for the main shooter as quickly as possible.

The average weight per person is more than 15 kilograms, so there is no extra strength to carry firearms such as rifles and pistols. The three people only have one Black Star pistol and two magazines at most!

To put it bluntly, this pure heavy firepower unit composed of 1,300 people does not have close combat capabilities at all!

"Transfer?" Chu Shaoyun's face was firm. "Where to transfer? And when we run back to notify, the Japanese have already moved over there. Do you think the Japanese are stupid and can't see or hear the movement of hundreds of people moving?"

"What should we do? It's not a good idea to just wait like this! It will be more troublesome if the Japanese army finds us when it gets light!" The face of the Army Sergeant looked bitter.

The mountains between the two ridges are only 250 meters apart at most. The Japanese army rushing over like locusts can arrive in less than a minute. Just thinking about that scene makes the old soldier's scalp numb.

"What should we do? Fuck him!" Chu Shaoyun almost didn't hesitate and gave an order immediately. "Go two people and inform Director Tan Tai and Director He. While the Japanese army is unaware and has not yet established a firm foothold, our light machine gun company and rifle grenade company will use the bushes to cover and advance 700 meters along the direction of Erdaoliang, and then concentrate fire. The infantry artillery will increase the elevation angle and use a mortar-like mode to fire. The target is the opposite side of our position. As long as they don't drop the shells on their own heads, they can shoot whatever they want!

Tell them that there is no need to save ammunition, just shoot forward. The main shooter will sacrifice, and the deputy shooter will replace him. The deputy shooter will die in the ammunition hand! In this battle, either the enemy will die or I will die!"

The so-called brave wins when two people meet on a narrow road, which is probably the case.

Chu Shaoyun may have made the most correct decision in his life, no doubt about it!

Qian Zhi Baihui, who had just finished reciting the poem with passion and elegance, never thought that he would encounter Chinese people behind the Chinese positions, and hundreds of Chinese people.

What is even more painful is that there are hundreds of Chinese people with up to 100 light machine guns, 120 rifle grenades and 6 infantry guns.

On the other hand, what about the "heavy" firepower equipped by the Japanese army? Taking the organization of the Japanese infantry squadron as an example, a Japanese infantry squad has 55 soldiers, equipped with 2 grenade launchers and 2 light machine guns. An infantry squadron has 3 infantry squads, that is, 6 grenade launchers and 6 light machine guns, and the rest are basically rifles and Type 14 Nambu pistols.

Qian Zhi Baihui was a light infantry battalion at this time. In addition to the 3 heavy machine guns that he brought with great difficulty, the rest of the heavy machine guns, infantry guns, and mortars were all abandoned!

In other words, the firepower of the six infantry squadrons led by Chizhi Baihui at this time was 36 grenade launchers, 36 light machine guns and hundreds of rifles!

But the most fatal thing was not the difference between continuous firepower and heavy firepower, but the fact that the Japanese army was unaware at this time. The Japanese army, which had to march over mountains and ridges even at night and was extremely tired, had completely lost its vigilance.

Not only did they not send out scouts as usual, they did not even dig field trenches. As more and more people entered the Erdaoliang area, they were distributed along the Erdaoliang, with infantry squadrons as units, randomly found an open space, spread out their individual bags, and planned to fall asleep.

Six infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squad and an engineering squad poured into the hillside in the gap of the Erdaoliang, which was more than 700 meters long. Although it was not bustling, it was also very lively.

At this time, the Japanese never dreamed that in the grass on the hillside opposite them, hundreds of people with towels covering their mouths and noses were crouching and quietly advancing from the bushes.

The Sihang Regiment is not equipped with combat boots yet. Both officers and soldiers are basically wearing cloth shoes made by fellow villagers. It is this soft-soled cloth shoes that reduce the sound of action.

Covering the mouth and nose with a towel is also to avoid branches and leaves touching the mouth and nose, causing coughing and sneezing, which are instinctive reactions of the human body. Even many people bite sticks and move forward at the request of veterans, which is also to avoid these.

Although pheasants flutter their wings and fly out from the grass from time to time, this is normal due to the sound made by the Japanese army on the opposite side.

If Qianzhi Baihui had not issued a military order, he would never shoot easily. The Japanese army might have shot a few pheasants to have a snack.

Although the night was dark, there was no need for the Chinese soldiers to identify the specific location of the opponent. The Japanese army's flashlights looked like bright stars in the sky from more than 200 meters away, which was the best beacon!

Don't tell me, this is in line with the poem that Chizhi Baihui recited passionately before.

Then, the most romantic army officer of the 108th Division, who was still observing the night sky, saw a wonder that he would never forget in his life.

The scarlet trajectory, like a surging meteor shower, completely covered the brilliance of the stars in the night sky, and smashed into his camp!

Then, there was the deafening sound of "Da Da Da!" "Boom Boom Boom!"

"Enemy attack!" Chizhi Baihui felt a sharp pain transmitted to the brain nerves while still in his throat.

He looked down in horror, and under the faint light of the fire, a ball of scarlet was silently infiltrating from the military uniform on his chest!

"I was hit? But how did the Chinese find me? This is not common sense!" The romantic Japanese poet fell down.

The sniper kill never exceeds 80 meters. For veterans like the army sergeant, it is impossible to miss such a vital point as the heart!

As for how to find the romantic young Zuo, the reason is very simple. One by one, Japanese officers came over and shouted "Hi!". Even if their voices were low, they bowed their heads fiercely, which was like sending the young Zuo wearing a helmet and ordinary Japanese infantry uniform to Amaterasu.

This guy! You really can't be too "Hi".

The Japanese lost their supreme commander who was good at reciting poems and composing fu from the moment they were covered by bullets.

The poem "Direction of the Stars" recorded by the captain staff officer who finally escaped death also became the footnote of this battle that was considered the most bizarre defeat in the Jindong Campaign.

Perhaps, when Qian Zhi Baihui used the stars as a beacon, the tragedy of more than 1,400 Japanese soldiers was doomed.

A beacon may also be a dark lamp!

Especially when it is lit in the dark, it may be guiding the direction for the dead!

The sudden sound of Czech-made light machine guns covered the sound of Czech semi-automatic rifles that killed Japanese Army Shao Zuo. Several Chinese veterans hiding less than 100 meters in front of the Japanese position harvested the lives of more than ten Japanese officers.

Including a Japanese Shao Zuo, three Japanese captains and seven Japanese second lieutenants, which was also one of the reasons why the Japanese army was considered to be defeated after the war.

The details of the battle cannot be described. The exchange of fire between the two sides was so simple that it was outrageous!

Shooting, shooting, and shooting!

Neither side had any firepower probing. The left and right wings were detoured, just between the narrow ridges, from two hillsides covered with grass and stones, desperately shooting at each other.

Lao Tantai and Xiao He teacher were not professional soldiers, but they were the wisest people in China. Professional matters were left to professionals.

They were firm enough to complete the decision of Chu Shaoyun, the highest commander of the military. Since they had already given their all, they didn't want to give it all in one battle. They just emptied the ammunition they carried.

This bunch of ragtag troops are totally unqualified to think about what to do next or in the future!

Each light machine gun is equipped with 800 rounds of ammunition, 100 is 80,000 rounds, and each rifle grenade is equipped with 50 rounds of ammunition, which is 6,000 rounds. All veterans who serve as squad leaders have received orders to use up all bullets and grenades before they sacrifice themselves, and then prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

The so-called hand-to-hand combat is naturally to hold a light machine gun that has been emptied of bullets and cooperate with a black star pistol of the three-person team. The military bayonet is also distributed to everyone, but without the support of the rifle, holding the military bayonet in one hand against the Japanese army's 1.7-meter-long Type 38 rifle, the probability of survival is extremely low.

But that was the final decisive battle order issued by Chu Shaoyun to each company and platoon before departure!

These 1,300 people are the last strength of Dakouzidong Town. Escape will only make the Japanese invaders more rampant. Then go to die, dye this hill red with blood, and let the Japanese pay the price for every step forward!

The more than 1,400 Japanese soldiers on the other side of the hill eventually suffered from the concentrated fire damage of nearly 70,000 bullets, more than 5,000 grenades and 300 artillery shells.

Later in the battle, the blood-thirsty teacher Xiao He directly adjusted the infantry artillery from a thousand meters away to 500 meters, and fired directly at the grenade launchers and grenades that the Japanese army could still shoot from time to time.

If one round is not enough, then ten rounds, and if ten rounds are not enough, then ten more rounds. At least half of the remaining light machine gun positions of the Japanese army were destroyed by their own 70mm infantry artillery.

Don’t think that the battlefield is pitch black. It’s all blind fighting. The Japanese army, in order to survive, fired flares into the sky like falling stars, which made the battlefield, which was not very wide, bright as daylight at a certain moment.

The eyebrows and eyes of the soldiers on both sides were extremely clear in the field of view of the 4x telescope. It was simply the legendary face-to-face attack.

At least 20 light machine gun fire groups on the Chinese side were destroyed by the precise bombardment of the Japanese grenade launchers, but the Japanese army was not much better.

If more than 5 of the 120 Browning rifle grenades were concentrated, no Japanese grenade launcher group could escape. Even if they hid behind a big rock, more than a dozen grenades attacking in a straight line could smash the rock, and then the fresh flesh and blood of the Japanese grenade launchers hiding behind it would be splashed on the originally barren land of Taihang Mountain, becoming fertilizer.

This "miscellaneous army" in front of us has nothing else but enough machine guns and rifle grenade launchers!

"My students have all died in the battle, now it's my turn as a teacher!"

When Teacher Xiao He personally took on the role of the main shooter of a light machine gun that had lost three shooters, he said a famous saying that would be passed down to the future, which pushed the morale and courage of this ragtag army to the peak!

The sound of killing shook the sky!

Even comrades kept falling!

The bloody battle lasted until the early morning!

When an infantry artillery platoon and an anti-tank artillery platoon arrived at the battlefield in a hurry, the surging artillery fire of more than a dozen newly added artillery made the flares lose their luster.

The rising fireballs made the battlefield as bright as day!

The psychological defense line of the remaining Japanese troops who had no power to resist heavy firepower completely collapsed!

After 20 minutes, the battlefield returned to tranquility!

Of the more than 1,400 light infantrymen under the 108th Division, only more than 300 escaped, and the remaining 1,083 were all killed in the Erdaoliang battlefield 3,000 meters behind Qingshiyan.

That was the accurate number obtained after carefully counting the bodies.

After this battle, the "miscellaneous army" stationed at the Four-Line Regiment became famous in North China!
