Rise From Eight Hundred

The Japanese's scumbag airborne series did leave a big psychological shadow on the Chinese soldiers on the scene, but it is undeniable that the Japanese's wave of operations has inexplicably increased the confidence of the Chinese soldiers on the scene to win.

Probably because the Japanese acted stupid enough!

The bloody battle of Zhanggushan in the past time and space is inevitable again.

However, this time the protagonist was replaced by the 4th Army from the 74th Army, and the direct troops under the command of Commander Xue made a brilliant appearance.

The 4th Army is indeed worthy of being the army started by Commander Xue, and it is also worthy of being the first army of the Guangdong Army that has produced an iron army. Not to mention whether the officers and soldiers have a firm attitude in combat, its firepower alone is amazing for the officers and soldiers of the 43rd Army who stayed 3 miles outside the battlefield.

The 4th Army actually had an artillery regiment. The spectacular scene of more than 30 75mm mountain guns and 150mm mortars firing together was far beyond the reach of the 40 or so mortars that Brigade Commander Wang had gathered by begging for mercy. The bombardment lasted for a full hour, completely covering Zhanggushan in smoke. It was only 28 hours since the Japanese occupied Zhanggushan. Even if they brought excavators, they could not have dug out any solid fortifications! This round of crazy bombardment might send them to hell. There were no less than 10,000 Chinese officers and soldiers who thought like this. Even Brigade Commander Wang, who was watching the battle from afar, sighed like this. Others, such as the commander of the 26th Division and Comrade Lao Guo, even if they did not have a clear view of their own, showed in their expressions that this battle might not end until dusk.

That's fine. Anyway, there are thousands of people every day, so it doesn't matter if a few dozen people die!

Moreover, there was news from the rear that the lieutenant general of the 4th Army actually led my guard company to the front line, 600 meters ahead. The generals and brigade commanders all arrived at the front-line trenches with pistols, and the colonel commander personally led the team off the battlefield.

Even if they could force the proud general to say that, they could not imagine that the battlefield there was also extremely tragic. A few Chinese could scare the 200 imperial officers and soldiers into retreating like cranes and quails in the mountains? Even if we were artillery, the proud general and brigade commander Zhang of the 153rd Brigade, one of the main attacking forces of the army, actually sent a rare telegram to the brigade commander Wang Xiao, whom he had scolded before. The content was extremely complicated: "My brother and I helped each other in times of crisis. Now the battle situation is deadlocked and artillery reinforcements are needed!"

That wave was even more tragic. The colonel commander who led the attack personally was seriously injured and unconscious, the deputy commander died on the spot, two of the three battalion commanders died, and six of the nine army lieutenant company commanders died, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers were killed and wounded.

The seventh wave was supervised by the army commander himself, and the brigade commander led the team to retreat. Although it was determined enough and even pushed back the Japanese trenches at one point, it still came up 40 minutes ago. The Chinese officers and officers standing in the trenches on the top of the mountain to watch the battle all took a breath of cold air. Brigade Commander Wang Xiao, who had just won a small victory, was even more stunned. His deputy colonel and the regiment commander actually led the team in person, bringing the only radio station in the regiment to the battlefield. My escort team was barely more than two infantry platoons and a hundred people.

Of course, no one would think that Pu Liulang was afraid of fighting, because that night, the guard regiment was dispatched in force, and the whole was led by local guides to sneak into the Japanese defense line and retreat and harass.

At that time, I realized that I won the battle of Leiming Gorge yesterday by luck. It must be that the Japanese army chose to fight hard and did not have a huge geographical advantage. I am afraid that the price I paid to eat these 4,000 Japanese troops is definitely not something I can afford.

But the reality is that it is already extremely difficult for the 106th Division to maintain the defense lines everywhere, not to mention the troops that were drawn to wipe out the group of Monkey Kings who were making trouble outside the belly.

An artillery squadron with 4 mountain cannons and 200 artillerymen was ambushed again and again before the Chinese harassment war began. The two small direct lines were in a tough battle. Even Commander Xue couldn't hold his breath. At 7 o'clock in the morning, he brought his escort team to the rear line of Wanjialing!

Even taking advantage of the deep soil layer and sparse trees in the mountains of Gan Province, machine gun bunkers were built with wood and stone in the woods. As long as they were hit by the 75mm mountain cannon or 37mm anti-tank gun, they would basically be destroyed.

With that efficiency, it can only be said that human potential is really infinite. It is estimated that even General Douduo of the mountain area did not expect that his motorcycle could be so excellent!

There were no more than a thousand people at most, and they were in infantry platoons. Before they sneaked into the defense line from the dense forest at night, they launched a harassing attack on the artillery, field medical team, and the pitiful baggage troops.

That time, it was led by Tang Tuanzuo, but it was the masterpiece of the newly appointed deputy commander of the 4th Army Guard Regiment. The Japanese army, forced into a desperate situation, built a position that was enough to defend against large-caliber artillery. For the 4th Army, which was desperately attacking, it was definitely a disaster. Although it was fully equipped and fully staffed, the main infantry regiment with a force of more than 2,200 people was directly crippled. It is said that it must be held tightly by his subordinates. The lieutenant general who smashed his helmet angrily was about to go to the front line with a pistol, but a piece of news came in the early morning, which directly made Song Xueshuda's mentality explode. In fact, as the lowest commander of the Zhanggushan defense line, the commander of the 111th Brigade of the 106th Division, General Shan Didou, had not despaired as early as yesterday.

Surprisingly, the seventh wave of attack was not a decisive battle. At that moment, life became the cheapest item!

However, the desperation aroused the ferocity of that person. It was because of my sleepless night and personal supervision and participation in the excavation that more than 3,800 Japanese infantrymen and an engineer squadron under the entire defense line actually dug in 20 large areas. Within a short period of time, a mountain defense line with a length of 3,800 meters, a depth of 5 meters, and more than 800 individual gun holes and more than 100 medium-sized artillery holes that can accommodate large detachment levels was built!

Therefore, the main force of the 27th Division that came to the rescue at Starry Night actually stayed at a position more than 40 kilometers away from the Wanjialing battlefield. They dared to move!

That night, the commander of the 106th Division, Ye Fan Songcong, looked at the casualty figures reported by various units and cried in despair. However, according to the reaction of the Japanese infantry squadron leader who rushed to support, according to what I saw, the Chinese who participated in the sneak attack, There will definitely be more than seven people, otherwise this group of frightened artillerymen will definitely have so few people alive.

However, what happened in the early morning of the 25th finally made the Japanese Army Lieutenant General's division commander nervous. More importantly, according to intelligence, there were not more than 100,000 people gathered in the Wanjialing area. If the Chinese army waits for us to clean up the unlucky ones in the encirclement, or even just cleans up one to four four, then turns around and comes over to kill them, how can the tens of thousands of men of the 27th Division stop them?

The battle situation of the 74th Army 20 miles away is also at a deadlock. Although there are 30,000 elites besieging 5,000 Japanese troops, there is no threat from the nearly 10,000 small troops of the 27th Division inside the encirclement. Three soldiers are blocking the attack in the mountainous area. The infantry regiments did not dare to move at all. The two infantry regiments were held by the lieutenant general of the 74th Army and they dared to be easily scattered. In fact, there were only 5 infantry regiments totaling 60,000 people that could be used to besiege 5,000 Japanese troops. Pre-war statistics , in the first wave of attacks alone, the vanguard regiment belonging to the 4th Army lost 389 people and injured more than 400 people. The casualty rate was as low as 80%.

20 artillery squads, a baggage company and an escort infantry company arrived at the rear of the 74th Army at about 4 o'clock in the morning. Until the bloody battle ended during the day, no one looked at Urarokuro the same way. For such a bloody battle during the day, No matter what group comes, they are all bad messengers, and they can only use human lives to pile them up.

On the other hand, although the Japanese army did not counterattack with infantry artillery and mountain artillery, since the distance between the artillery groups on both sides was not far, almost all of them were within the opponent's range. The 4th Army had to pay close attention to the opponent's artillery positions because there were artillery groups that fired or not. There was no wired communication, and only flares were not used. It was suspected that they were roasting meat under the tiger's nose, and it was impossible to lure the Japanese troops over at any time.

The commander personally visited the front line, and it was like injecting a shot of stimulant into the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the two infantry armies who were locked in a bitter battle. It was almost nightfall when they were not yet a child, and the offensive actually decreased, getting lower and lower with each wave.

We actually also played a drama of inserting ourselves in front of the enemy and harassing them. At about 4:30 in the morning, Colonel Xie sent out eight green and one red flares to disperse the entire army. After dawn, following more than 1,200 soldiers who participated in the battle, More than 1,100 officers and soldiers evacuated the battlefield, and the battle losses exceeded eight figures.

The troop strength was 3 to 1, and the disparity was not too small. The Japanese army immediately formed a defense line based on the local terrain and waited for reinforcements to arrive!

However, when the Sichuan army received the order and entered the battle, it gradually became numb. What we have to do is not to mechanically stuff the artillery shells into the barrels and bombard the areas where the Japanese soldiers are not seen!

Pre-war statistics show that on the 24th alone, the 74th Army suffered more than 2,000 casualties. Four officers below the school level were killed, and dozens of officers were killed!

Faced with such a weak attack, the Sichuan Army generals really thought about how they could block it and how they could stop it if the Japanese came out.

In the battle of Guanjia'ao in time and space, the 40th Group Army was so hesitant. It mobilized thousands of people to attack, but it was unable to completely annihilate a Japanese infantry squad with only 700 or 800 soldiers. And it actually It took only one night to build the fortifications.

However, before that, 200 artillery soldiers had killed less than 80 people on the spot. The remaining 110 people must have survived by running slowly into the forest. The 4 cannons were not blown up, but with the breechblocks, it was equivalent to It became a decoration.

The 27th Division, which was surrounded and beaten by the 74th Army, desperately called for help from its own division. At the end of the day, only 3,500 of the 500 men were left to fight. According to that consumption rate, the division would be defeated in just two days. They will all become dead.

Although the most important reason is not that the Forty Group Army has no artillery for attacking fortifications, it is admitted that the Japanese civil engineering capabilities are among the best in the world. A Sichuan Army Colonel who led the team was also returned I was frightened by the empty battlefield during the 6th battle. The area around the battlefield was more than 5 square kilometers, and most of the hills below the battlefield had not been blown away. Looking around, almost everywhere was covered with dark blue and khaki colors. Corpses!

Unfortunately, our request for help was slow enough to make the lieutenant general commander of the 27th Division hesitate, but it actually had a small effect.

Moreover, the 4th Army also organized dozens of heavy machine guns to provide fire cover on both sides of each position, and the crazy bullet output sound was even inferior to the bombardment of artillery.

Moreover, the guard regiment dispatched only soldiers and no schools!

Sure enough, the movement became intensive after the bombardment. An infantry regiment of nearly 2,000 soldiers of the 4th Army as the vanguard encountered a stubborn resistance from the Japanese as soon as they arrived at the attack site.

"If we attack today, we will do it tomorrow! If the regiment commander is good at leading the retreat, we will change to the brigade commander. If the brigade commander is good, he will be the division commander. If it is still good, I will go down personally as the commander! In short, your small army of 120,000 people will be replaced by the brigade commander. There is no one left alive, so the battle to kill those Japanese invaders is over!" Commander Xue stood 1,500 meters away from the heavy artillery fire and said the famous saying "Battlefield Guns" that made both China and Japan tremble. When the sound stopped for 10 minutes, it was swallowed up by the huge roar again. The countless dark blues retreated towards the Japanese defense line in the slow push of the barrage. Or would they all be buried with the hapless guy of the 106th Division?

Although it was able to locate the Japanese artillery area extremely accurately, the victory that time was that the number of artillery pieces exceeded the opponent's and overwhelmed them. Even if it could destroy the opponent, it also put minimal psychological pressure on the opponent. Seven infantry and mountain cannons were damaged. !

Eight Chinese infantry regiments were deployed 5 kilometers away from the battlefield. As a seventh-line division, the 27th Division had a total of 80,000 troops, not counting the remaining troops. 5,000 were surrounded, and there was not even an infantry brigade. There are less than 6,000 men, and the rest are auxiliary troops. There is simply not enough strength to break through this defense line in two days. The 106th Division faces only the retreat from Zhang Gushan. In reality, it will end at 11 p.m. At most four infantry divisions attacked the temporary defenses of the 106th Division from all directions.

The feeling of despair enveloped the remaining tens of thousands of Japanese invaders in the encirclement on the night of the 24th!

I succeeded. I used the cover of night to kill hundreds of Japanese invaders. That is to say, I also attacked several Japanese military bases that had no command capabilities. I even killed one Lieutenant Colonel and eight Dozos on the spot, and even blew up the mountain cannon. 3 doors.

It sounds complicated to say, but its danger level is no less dangerous than the frontal battlefield. One is a big heart. Thousands of elites could be trapped in the Japanese defense zone and never come out again. Although the Chinese chose to cease the war on the night of the 24th, the frontal battlefield The battlefield has stopped, but it means that people really let the 106th Division watch the stars and the moon on the mountain top, talking about life and ideals. Compared to the small-scale harassment battle with thousands of gold troops, Song Xue Shuda felt palpitations. Zhijin was lucky enough to have bad luck.

In addition to killing the enemy, the deputy commander of the Colonel, who had fought brilliantly in the Qixing Warehouse, was also responsible for commanding the infantry platoons scattered in the hills.

Brigadier Wang Xiao is an open-minded person. He has borrowed more than a dozen artillery squadrons from others in order to show off his face. Regardless of whether they are willing or not, he will always borrow them. Naturally, he has to return the favor at that time. I asked Comrade Lao Guo for instructions, and Comrade Lao Guo also nodded and refused.

Even Commander Xue, who arrived at the 4th Army headquarters, was surprised by his cowardice.

In normal times, when the troops are sufficient, the 106th Division is completely unable to form an infantry squadron to retreat and encircle and suppress those Chinese who dare to retreat into the interior of the defense line. Let us come and go.

The mentality can be broken. Our Imperial Army has no sense of honor. Some people dare to bear the consequences of the annihilation of a division. Reinforcements will come sooner or later. That is the reason why Song Xue Shuda hypnotically encouraged himself because of the war. It was calm. Neither China nor Japan confiscated their own remains, and just left them lying horizontally and vertically under the battlefield. More than two thousand remains were torn apart and thrown up low in the continuous artillery fire. It was an extremely bloody scene. It's hard to bear to see!

It is said that if you move, you will lose. The entangled and lingering of nearly 10,000 Japanese troops is suspected to have sprinkled more pepper on the bloody wounds of all the Japanese troops in the encirclement. Even Song Xue Shuda's division headquarters was attacked. If it was At that time, I didn’t have an infantry group to protect me. The Chinese attacked for 20 minutes and when they saw no way to retreat, they took the initiative to evacuate. My lieutenant general division commander almost went to see Amaterasu before the entire division. At that time, Songxue Shudadu picked up the Southern Seventeen pistol and hid in the bushes. Bullets whizzed past his side. The Chinese infantry closest to me was definitely more than 50 meters away!

The so-called serious injury refers to being on the line of fire. Nowadays, for the 106th Division, as long as a broken arm or leg can still pull the trigger, it is considered a serious injury level.

The defense line built by the Japanese army was crumbling. Eight 37mm anti-aircraft guns were moved by the equally crazy commander to an area 1,000 meters away from the rear position, exposing them to the Japanese army in the next round of attacks. The firepower point retreated and bombarded wildly.

Urarokuro did not forget Tang Dao's reminder. At the battle meeting at the beginning of the war, he stated that the guard regiment would be the main offensive group on the frontal battlefield. The one who made such a huge achievement was actually the one who wanted to participate in the meeting. The regimental commanders almost laughed out loud. Even the lieutenant general just thought it was the commander's brother who was having fun at this moment, so he refused.

Comrade Lao Guo's face was brighter: "We are indeed safe from the Japanese invaders who have been fighting stubbornly!"

Others know it, but I know that the Japanese army's civil engineering capabilities are quite outstanding, and they do so at a moment when their lives are at stake.

Wei didn't have a Tang sword and had a serious look on his face.

It can be said that the infantry regiment was brave enough. 20 minutes later, within the sight of a group of Chinese soldiers' binoculars, under the attack line of several thousand meters, there were dark blue corpses lying everywhere. The 4th The army is indeed a tough character, fully adhering to the characteristics of Commander Xue who is weak and tough in combat. When the first wave of retreat was hit, they immediately used artillery to coordinate the retreat. Before the killing was complete, the Chinese and Japanese sides only had one purpose at this moment. Fight the other party to death, whether you live or die is important!

However, with a strong enough will to survive, the Japanese defense line, which had been breached in several places, did not collapse. Instead, they continued to increase troops and blocked the gaps with human lives.

Overnight, the number of imperial officers and soldiers who died in the large-scale sneak attack alone reached as low as 800 to 700. It can be regarded as another classic battle in the Battle of Wanjialing. Who is the commander? In the end, the casualties of the Chinese army on the 24th were small enough. The total casualties of all the troops participating in the battle in the Wanjialing area reached more than 6,000, but the 106th Division, as the defending party, was not bad either. The casualties of the front-line infantry had already exceeded 2,000. Now, the seven front-line arms such as engineers, communications soldiers, and medical soldiers have already been mobilized in the rear line.

Don’t look at the 4th Army’s hard work now. They want to take credit for the war but bite the iron plate. However, with the character of this commander surnamed Xue, he will definitely change his orders every day. At most, the 43rd Army will not fight on the 24th.

The 106th Division had lost two artillery squads attacking 24 mountain cannons in yesterday's desperate battle but suffered a small defeat. Then they were collectively beaten up, and the firepower of the remaining four artillery squads and 48 mountain cannons had to be distributed everywhere. They seemed weak to begin with, and then they were suppressed, and their counterattack artillery fire was even more intermittent.
