Rise From Eight Hundred

It's not how tense the battlefield is!

Yang Xiaoshan was greeted by the smiling face of Qian Dazhu, the infantry company commander who was supposed to be commanding the battle on the front line!

The Japanese defense line collapsed in less than two minutes!

Although there were factors of heavy firepower output from the 20mm machine guns and 12.7mm heavy machine guns on several carriages, more of them were due to the lack of troops on the Japanese defense positions.

The clock goes back fifteen minutes!

After Tang Dao led the convoy to the front of the Japanese defense position with trenches, barbed wire, chevaux de frise, and machine gun fortifications, he knew that it would be almost impossible to use camouflage to enter this position after watching the searchlights in the fortifications and more than a dozen Japanese infantrymen walking out.

This is the last checkpoint to enter the Japanese artillery position, and anyone would have to check carefully!

Therefore, while the Japanese army still routinely sent personnel to check and the Japanese soldiers in the fortifications and trenches were not on high alert, Tang Dao quietly issued an order.

You have already reached the door of the Japanese with a knife in hand, and you still expect them to leave the door open for you, take off your clothes and lie on the bed waiting for you?

What are you thinking? The Japanese are not the sister-in-law you hooked up with!

Attack!

The nearly ten Japanese soldiers who were originally striding over with guns on their backs were shot to the ground by the crazy firing of submachine guns before they had time to react!

But this was just the prelude to the tragedy of the Japanese army!

The tarpaulin was lifted, revealing the sandbag fortifications and the four 12.7mm heavy machine guns hidden behind the fortifications opened fire!

The 12.7mm bullets that could penetrate 10mm steel plates within a distance of 300 meters ignored the two layers of sandbags of the Japanese army and directly smashed the two most threatening heavy machine gun fortifications on the Japanese position into slag.

The machine guns, mortars and MG34 machine guns that opened fire immediately afterwards became the nightmare of the Japanese infantry!

At a distance of only 50 meters, how could a group of light infantrymen resist the heavy firepower that even the Type 94 tanks could not withstand?

The Japanese army, which was suppressed in the trenches and had not fired many bullets at all, was met with a wave of grenade rain!

Howling!

When a guard platoon crawled forward and arrived in front of the trench, there were only a dozen or so Japanese soldiers guarding the mountain road alive!

Not to mention the three-fold difference in strength, the crawling guard platoon was basically equipped with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles, and the fierce continuous firepower was simply not something that the Japanese army's Type 38 rifles could resist.

It took less than 2 minutes to annihilate this infantry squad with fortifications, which was a record of some size!

The Japanese army actually deployed only one infantry squad in such an important area, which surprised Tang Dao. You know, in the report sent back by the scouts two days ago, the Japanese army deployed no less than 1,000 infantry troops around its artillery positions.

At first, Tang Dao was still worried, thinking that the Japanese army was playing some tricks. Could it be that this was not their main line of defense, and there was a second line of defense?

But after nearly 400 people in a row poured into this line of defense, and the Japanese army did not see any large-scale troops to fight back, he was completely relieved.

At this time, no matter what tricks the Japanese army played, the 400 elite soldiers who were only 500 meters away from the Japanese artillery position and the main force of the 200 guard companies that were approaching later, Tang Dao had the strength of an ordinary infantry battalion.

But this ordinary infantry battalion is not ordinary at all. It is two companies with extremely strong combat effectiveness under Tang Dao. With all kinds of equipment they carry, their combat effectiveness is basically three times that of an ordinary national army infantry battalion. Even if there are two Japanese infantry battalions here, Tang Dao is not afraid.

In the morning light in the distance, the Japanese soldiers who have been awakened have some busy roars and figures running back and forth, which also proves that they are far more panicked than they imagined.

In the process of the infantry of the Four-line Regiment constantly advancing, the Japanese mountain artillery did not fail to fire, but as a mountain artillery, its effective range of up to 6,500 meters is its advantage. However, for the target that is so close...

How to say it! It's like a little widow looking at the sedan chair----anxious!

Except for the futile explosion of dozens of black smoke more than 800 meters away, there was no damage to the two platoons of the Four-line Regiment that were advancing.

Bayonet fighting is obviously not the strong point of these modern artillery of the Japanese army.

The reason why it is called two infantry platoons is that Tang Dao had already divided the entire army into three directions. He led two groups of the reconnaissance company, a guard platoon and an infantry platoon to break through the Japanese artillery position head-on. The other two infantry platoons under Qian Dazhu each carried a heavy firepower group to attack the two wings of the Japanese artillery position.

Before that, Tang Dao ordered all officers and soldiers disguised as Japanese soldiers to take off their yellow military uniforms, wear only white shirts, and hang red ribbons around their necks.

This is to prevent accidental injuries. In such a battlefield with poor visibility, everyone's spirit is highly nervous. As long as they see that it is not their own military uniforms, they will subconsciously shoot.

Not to mention the upcoming melee, just when breaking through the position, some soldiers of the infantry company were nervous, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at their comrades who jumped out of the trenches wearing Japanese military uniforms. If that soldier had not reacted quickly and quickly got back into the trench and reminded loudly, he would have been killed by his own people.

At this time, it is a time of close combat and it is either you or I. Naturally, there is no need to cover up.

Qian Dazhu personally led an infantry squad and a heavy firepower group to guard the position that had just been broken through, to protect his own retreat and to welcome the arrival of Yang Xiaoshan and others.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, not only did the two platoons led by Tang Dao have penetrated the core of the Japanese artillery position, but the mortars on both flanks exploded vigorously, and the continuous firing of submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles also suppressed the Japanese army. Sanba Dagai's pitiful counterattack gunfire, and the scream of the Japanese 92 heavy machine gun could hardly be heard on the entire battlefield, which also reminded Qian Dazhu that his two platoons also had the upper hand on the battlefield on both wings. What do you think of Qian Dazhu? Can you not smile when you see Yang Xiaoshan?

The Japanese army's defense against artillery was so weak that it exceeded the imagination of all commanders at all levels of the Fourth Army Regiment!

Speaking of which, this is really a coincidence.

From the moment he heard the gunshots in the distance and received the news that the front position was attacked by the Chinese army, Koaki Awahara, who was ordered by Nagano Kameichiro to be responsible for the security of his own artillery position, had a big head on the left center.

When would it be difficult for the Chinese to come, but they chose this time?

If it were before last night, he really wouldn't be that scared. However, at this time, the Japanese Army's center left was really scared.

Just as Tang Dao was once surprised, there were really too few Japanese troops defending the outer positions of the 21st Artillery Regiment of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army.

Major General Nagano Kameichiro has attached great importance to the safety of his artillery regiment's position since the beginning of the war. In addition to the original infantry guard squadron of the 21st Artillery Regiment, he also placed his division headquarters there. There were as many as 500 elite infantrymen near the artillery wing. In addition, they felt that this was not enough, so they also mobilized 3 baggage squadrons with more than a thousand baggage soldiers to replace the infantry to protect the entire periphery of the artillery position.

However, in addition to the 36 mountain cannons of the 26th Artillery Regiment, there are also 4 105 howitzers that were begged for nothing from the front army headquarters. They are all big guys.

Moreover, the Japanese artillery abides by artillery regulations. The straight-line distance between each gun is 40 to 50 meters. If all 40 artillery were placed like this, the area would reach hundreds of acres. This would have to be all over the city. It is a plain state.

But the dozens of kilometers between Jingxing and Niangziguan have nothing to do with Pingyuan. The area where these 40 cannons are placed exceeds two thousand acres.

In other words, the area where the cannons of the entire 21st Artillery Regiment were placed was very large, no smaller than the campus area of ​​a later comprehensive university.

To defend such a large-area position, let alone an infantry brigade, even an infantry regiment cannot defend the entire position tightly.

Of course, because this is a mountainous area, the Japanese army adapted to local conditions. They mainly used points to lead areas. Four points were established in the southeast, northwest, and the rest of the locations were either cliffs, ravines, or dense forests, but they were basically within the range of their firepower. Barbed wire fences, patrols and military dogs can also basically ensure the safety of the defense area.

There are few people, so you might have a chance to sneak in, but it's useless. Even the elite reconnaissance company of the Si Xing Regiment was unable to face thousands of Japanese troops and quietly blow up the cannon and then leave. They are not Sun Wukong who can resist the fire of Taishang Laojundan. There are too many bullets and they can't dodge.

There are so many people that it is difficult to get through such a fortification arrangement. If they want to get through, they can only attack the defense line with more than a thousand defensive troops.

The two main infantry regiments on the front line are less than 6 kilometers away from here. An hour is enough for reinforcements of more than two infantry brigades to arrive.

For Nagano Kameichiro, after deploying such troops, he even hoped that the Chinese would come and steal his artillery positions, and he could eat as many as they had.

However, those were all deployed before yesterday afternoon.

Nagano Kameichiro had just given an order to Awahara Koaki to strictly guard the artillery position. Over there, Yokoyamazawa sent a telegram to Nagano Kameichiro, requesting the division for further artillery support, and vowed to ensure that two highlands had been conquered. As long as they work harder, It will definitely be able to open a gap from the flank and completely annihilate the Chinese defenders on the defense chain.

Nagano Kameichiro, who had already thought about quitting, rekindled his hope after repeated confirmations. After all, even if he is at the bottom, Nagano Kameichiro still has the carrot of the title of 'Division Commander' hanging in front of his donkey, right?

Even if there is a bright spot in the record and the general commander sees it, he can remove the word "agent".

Therefore, in the eyes of Awahara Koaki, Major General Nagano Kameichiro is like a 'slut' who likes to be seduced, and he makes changes overnight!

An artillery battalion was ordered to move closer to the flank to support the 82nd Infantry Regiment in flank operations.

Good guys, when the artillery brigade advances, does it have to be accompanied by heavy baggage troops and guard infantry? Especially since that area is closer to the front line, does it need to be more vigilant?

But Koaki Awahara could only mobilize more than 1,500 troops. It was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. What could he do?

As a result, the miserable Japanese Army center left could only accompany the artillery brigade with two squadrons of baggage troops and two squadrons of guard infantry.

After all, this was the enemy's rear, but he didn't believe that the Chinese dared to send the main force nearly ten kilometers deep into the battlefield to launch a surprise attack on the artillery positions. Moreover, he had already thought about it. As long as he persisted for a day or two, he persuaded Nagano Kameichiro to deploy some more infantry to strengthen it. The defense of the main artillery position.

This is like a scumbag who has two boats. Both sides want to improve the lake, but the end result is that both sides will capsize.

Just think about that scene of two women serving one man and having fun together!

No, the pots and pans left behind by the 800 Japanese infantry soldiers were still warm! The Four Elements Group brought people over to touch it.

What's even more terrible is this guy Nagano Kameichiro! He talks about being righteous and heroic, like a general who will die on the front line, but deep down he is afraid of death, especially after the precedent of a certain division commander who was set on fire and was sizzling with oil.

The division headquarters is near the artillery regiment, but because he is close to the front line, three of the four squads of the division headquarters guard squadron have been marching closely with him, and there is only one guard squad on the empty division headquarters.

To put it bluntly, the main reason why Awahara Xiaoming and Zhongzuo are so scared at this moment is that the Chinese have come, but he only has 500 available infantrymen.

As for the more than 1,600 artillerymen of the 21st Artillery Regiment on this position, don't mention it. A regiment is only equipped with hundreds of guns, and most of them are Nambu 14 pistols. What use are those things against the Chinese submachine guns?

Facing the artilleryman Da Zuo who was running over in a hurry, Awhara Xiaoming Zhong Zuo, who jumped up from the camp bed, issued three military orders at the fastest speed: "Report to the division headquarters that our army was attacked, ask for help from the two infantry regiments on the front line, and order them to dispatch an infantry battalion each to support the artillery regiment, and order two infantry squads to reinforce the peripheral troops.

All artillery that cannot fire artillery will be reorganized into infantry squads to reinforce the periphery. The rest of the artillery will prepare to retreat and retreat to the direction of the division headquarters. If the artillery cannot be towed away, it will be blown up immediately when the war is unfavorable. It must not be left to the Chinese. The personnel who stay in the division headquarters and the 21st artillery regiment are ready to evacuate at any time."

Although his legs were a little weak, as the future chief of staff of the 21st Division, the Japanese Army Zhong Zuo had remained calm enough, asking for help, arranging defenses, and even thinking of the worst results.

But, he still didn't expect that the Chinese were much stronger than he thought, and it would take much longer to break through the defensive positions than he did.

Almost as soon as the messenger left, the news came that the Chinese had broken through the position.

Even without the communication soldier notifying them, the sound of the rapid mortar fire had already made the two Japanese left officers look ashen.

Awahara Xiaoming's command post was 800 meters away from the outer defense line of the artillery position. The gunfire at such a close distance meant that the two defense lines in front of the artillery position had been broken.

Including a guard infantry squad that went to reinforce, the imperial warriors, who had more than 100 people, were rushed in by the Chinese in less than ten minutes.

Although there were still more than 1,600 people on the artillery position, and although there were already artillerymen holding rifles and pistols and howling and rushing towards the direction of the enemy fearlessly.

But thinking with their butts, the two Japanese left officers also knew that letting a group of infantrymen with rifles and machine guns rush into the artillery position was like a group of hungry wolves rushing into a flock of sheep. The artillerymen with only a few hundred guns in total had almost no ability to resist.

If nearly 20 artillery pieces on the artillery position were blown up, the 21st Division no longer had to wait for the results of other fronts. Retreating directly was the wisest choice.

With artillery, they fought like this. If they didn't have artillery, wouldn't they be pressed to the ground by the Chinese with artillery?

What divisional glory? It's just a second-line scum division. There's no glory. In front of such an opponent, being alive is a glory.

Don't say it, at this moment, the two Japanese left officers were clear-minded and had completely figured out their positions.

This is indeed the case. Facing the 400 elite soldiers of the Sihang Regiment, most of whom were baggage soldiers, the Japanese infantry defense line, which had been tested by blood and fire for a year, was like a sand pile encountering a tide. The speed of collapse exceeded everyone's imagination.

The era had quietly changed when Tang Dao came to the Sihang Warehouse battlefield and established the Sihang Camp through the Songjiang Battle!

The era when a few hundred Japanese infantrymen could resist the siege of a Chinese infantry brigade no longer exists!

Chinese soldiers are not only good at defense, but also at attack!

Chinese soldiers are the best soldiers on this planet. If they are equipped with good enough weapons, they can tear through the defenses of all opponents!

Just like what they are doing now!

This also means that all the previous deployments of Awara Komei's Army Zhongzuo are a joke. Now the only thing he can do is to break through the whole army!

In written language, it is called rout. In plain language, it means that if you can run away, you can run away.

Unfortunately, the ideas formed by brainwashing in the Japanese Army for a long time are also extremely stubborn, which also made this Japanese Army Zhongzuo, who still has some brains, miss the only chance to survive.

Not only did he not issue an order for the whole army to break through, but he bravely rushed out of his command post with Dazuo, and they all picked up their telescopes and looked forward while lying in the fortifications.

Although it was still dark, the light of the night sky at dawn and the light of the mortar grenade explosion were cut through by machine gun bullets!

In the telescope, the figure of the Chinese wearing white shirts and yellow trousers was just 300 meters away. They were even besieging a mountain cannon, using rifles and submachine guns that could fire continuously to shoot the artillerymen hiding around the mountain cannon and resisting desperately in the mountains, but they had no intention of throwing grenades or using light machine guns.

The two Japanese army left officers, whose faces were already pale, looked at each other, and their faces turned pale. It seemed that they already knew what the Chinese were up to.

The appetite of the Chinese was much bigger than they had just imagined.

What bombing cannons? They were here to steal cannons, okay?

As for what they were going to do with the cannons, they couldn't just sell them for scrap metal!

Really, when thinking of the 20-kilogram large shells of the 105mm howitzer, Awara Xiaoming felt like a frightened porcupine!

Every hair on his body could not help but stand up.
