Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 1257 Machine Gun God of War (Part 2)

For Major Akita of the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the 40th Regiment, who was 10 miles away, facing the crazy attack of a Chinese infantry regiment was still easy.

The heavy firepower of 12 heavy machine guns and two infantry guns was protected by the mountains. Without the artillery attack of howitzers, the Chinese, let alone an infantry regiment, even a complete infantry brigade, would not be able to break through his defense within a day.

The Japanese Army Major, who looked indifferent as he watched the Chinese soldiers fall one after another less than 200 meters away from him during the crazy attack, might not have thought that another colleague of his would be so crazy.

50 minutes after the battle broke out in Gongshuijian, with the arrival of 300 Japanese soldiers of the Seko Battalion guarding the rear wing, plus the remaining infantry who had withdrawn from the position and could still fight, the Seko Battalion regained 580 infantry and more than 210 machine gunners, and 80% of the strength of the entire infantry battalion remained.

If they withdraw and turn to other battlefields, Seko Battalion will not only not be punished, but may even gain greater military merits.

For example, in the Sizhou Mountain defense zone, which is less than 15 miles away from here, Tang Dao, the highest commander, has already taken Xia Dayu to the front line.

Forced by the crazy attack of the Japanese army, Tang Tuanzuo almost used all his tricks and even felt defeated for the first time.

This is the first time that Tang Dao has come to this time and space. You should know that even in the desperate situation like Sihang Warehouse, Tang Dao has never thought about the word failure.

But this time is really desperate. Compared with the Japanese army on the opposite side, he is backward in all aspects from soldiers to equipment to soldiers' quality.

What's more terrible is that the Japanese are like crazy, thinking that Sizhou Mountain is a defense zone that can be broken through. Not only the infantry attacked frantically, but also the terrible 105 howitzers and bomber groups visited this position again and again.

Just over an hour after dawn, the Sizhoushan position was visited by two rounds of bombers, and the 105 howitzer fired more than 400 shells in a saturation bombardment, not to mention the continuous bombardment of the 75 mountain gun and infantry gun.

Little did they know that these were all from the strategy of the man named Nakamura Masao.

It was the Sichuan Army's new recruits and the Four-line Regiment's baggage company that suffered this disaster. In Itagaki Shiro's intelligence, there was really no Tang Tuanzuo.

Nakamura Masao only made a judgment based on the number of his opponent. The 17th Division of the Northwest Army was famous in the battle in eastern Shanxi on the battlefield in North China, and Nakamura Masao has always regarded it as his main opponent.

Nakamura Masao is a serious academic. He is not like those reckless men who think that only defeating the strongest is the most satisfying, and winning at the lowest cost is what he wants.

After several days of probing, the Japanese frontline commander made the final judgment that the Sizhou Mountain area was the weak link of the Chinese 4th Army. The rest of the troops tried to contain the main force of the Chinese, and then used this as a breakthrough point to have a chance to break through the entire Chinese defense line.

Coupled with the penetration and destruction of the two elite infantry battalions that entered the Chinese defense line from the gap, the victory of this battlefield must belong to him.

Of course, there is also the relationship between the 4th Division's Western Assault Detachment. In order to prevent the "Invulnerable Division" from dragging him down, Nakamura Masao tried his best to persuade Itagaki Shiro to send out his strongest reserve 105th Division.

As a result, after the change of guard, it was discovered that the 4th Division had only suffered two or three hundred casualties in two or three days, which formed a very sharp contrast with the infantry brigade led by Nakamura Masao himself, which had more than a thousand casualties.

It is certain that the "Invulnerable Division" is passive and lazy, but the opponent of the 4th Division must not be very good!

After all this time, I am the clown! Who wouldn't be so angry that he would get hurt?

Therefore, Nakamura Masao was more determined in his judgment, and he concentrated his firepower on Sizhou Mountain to defeat the Chinese miscellaneous army.

You know what, Nakamura Masao's mistaken judgment was really the truth. 4,000 new recruits plus more than 1,000 baggage soldiers were worse than the miscellaneous army.

If the Seko Battalion took the opportunity to attack from the flank at this time, the already exhausted Sizhou Mountain defense line would be in chaos, and even if Tang Tuanzuo had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to save the defeat.

It's a pity that Lieutenant Colonel Sekosuke was already "blinded by lard" at this time, and he fell madly in love with Sergeant Luo Wanjian's second idol in his life-Lieutenant Long. Lieutenant Colonel Sekosuke would not give up until he crushed this beloved man and that machine gun to ashes.

Unlike the 96th Army and the 46th Independent Brigade, which both deployed their last troops to support Mo'nan Town, Tang Tuanzuo could not care about the life and death of General Baifa and Longyan at this time.

Because Tang Dao was also fighting like crazy.

That was the most exciting and dangerous battle he had fought since he became the commander of the independent battalion.

If they lost this battle, he, Mingxin, Lu Sanjiang and others might be able to escape with their own abilities, but the new recruits and the baggage soldiers, including Zhuang Shisan, would be dead.

And this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that the entire Zhongtiaoshan defense zone might collapse because of this, which is related to the survival of more than 200,000 Chinese troops and tens of thousands of mountain people living here.

Tang Dao would never want to see the tragic defeat of the Zhongtiaoshan Battle in history repeated!

This wave of artillery shells and bombs bombarded, and in the winter, the more than 3,000 officers and soldiers who were still alive were all sweating profusely. Just from this, you can know how fierce the Japanese artillery fire was.

Tang Tuanzuo carried his Mosin-Nagant rifle and changed positions nearly 10 times in a row during the 20-minute defensive operation, with each position lasting no more than 2 minutes on average.

Tang Dao's rifle was really too accurate. On average, every minute, it could make a squad of Japanese infantrymen suffer. It was even more terrible than Longyan's MG34 machine gun that was shooting crazily.

So he was also targeted by the Japanese grenade launchers and infantry guns. Whenever he found that the most infantrymen fell in a certain direction, he would look for the "super sharpshooter" in that direction.

Fortunately, Tang Tuanzuo's intuition of predicting danger was unmatched in this era, and he always ran away before the Japanese artillery shells and grenades covered him.

Therefore, in the 20 minutes of the Japanese infantry's crazy attack, Tang Dao also created his own record, killing nearly 10 Japanese soldiers, but injuring more than 110 Japanese infantrymen!

There would never be any wounded soldiers under Tang Tuanzuo's gun!

But this time it was too difficult, Tang Dao could only choose another way to relieve the pressure on the position.

This time, he did not aim at the head and chest, but mainly at the lower body of the Japanese army, trying his best not to kill the opponent, so that the Japanese army had to take out more people to drag these unlucky kids out of the battlefield.

110 wounded soldiers often need more than twice the assistance of Japanese infantry to escape, which can also be understood as Tang Tuanzuo alone involving a half infantry squadron.

In the future, I am afraid that those editors of the dramas with wild imaginations who have hidden bombs in the crotch and torn the devils with their hands dare not imagine the plot, but sometimes, it is really more exaggerated than the blind bastards think.

Tang Tuanzuo has indeed reached the peak of individual combat power, which is almost difficult to be surpassed.

But why say almost? That is because less than a few hours later, the most powerful individual soldier in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain-Longyan, is about to make a brilliant appearance.

That is the existence that no one can surpass, not even Tang Tuanzuo.

Because he didn't have a Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel who was rated as a "malu" type in the Japanese Army to cooperate with him.

Yes, it is common for the Japanese Navy and Army to call each other "malu", but it is the first time in the history of the Japanese military that a supreme command of the Army has rated its own people as "malu".

Lieutenant Colonel Sekosuke is very honored to be the first!

Moreover, this round of offensive and defensive battles led by him has been successfully recorded as a classic battle example in military academies of more than 60 countries around the world, but they are all negative examples.

Even in the post-war Japanese NCO Academy, there is a saying: "It doesn't matter if you have an iron head, as long as your head is hard enough. If you don't want to be scolded, don't be Sekosuke!"

There is a saying that goes, "If you can't leave a good name for a hundred years, you will be infamous for ten thousand years. People can't be unknown all their lives! 'From this point of view, Lieutenant Colonel Sekosuke is definitely a successful person.

. . . . . . . .

At 10 am on January 11, 1939, the most terrifying battlefield in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain opened.

Neither side had artillery, only guns!

Small artillery such as grenade launchers have never been classified as artillery!

But such a battlefield without artillery has overshadowed the battlefield of Sizhou Mountain, which was bombed by 105 howitzers and 500-pound bombs.

Because the death rate of one side in the war was so high that it ranked in the top ten even in the entire Patriotic War.

In the Battle of Songhu in the past time and space, 60,000 Gui troops charged to their death and suffered 40,000 casualties. The corpses in yellow uniforms covered dozens of blocks in Songhu.

Is the casualty rate high? It was so high that the commander of the Gui army, "Little Zhuge", burst into tears in public.

In the Battle of Hengyang, which is known as the Defense of Moscow in the East, only 1,200 of the 760,000 people of the 10th Army responsible for defense survived, and only one in ten survived!

Is the casualty rate high? It was so high that the Japanese army recorded in the "Last Battle of the Imperial Japanese Army": the enemy's defending general Fang Xianjue was a brave and warlike general, and his spirit of fighting bravely in an isolated city was truly admirable!

However, these classic battles, in terms of casualties alone, are still far away from the battlefield on this small hillside.

"Gentlemen, this is a battle of daring to die! The order to withdraw will not be issued, and anyone who dares to look back will be killed! Break through the position in front of you and reach the Chinese general's residence, and all property will belong to you." Sekosuke, with a white cloth tied on his head and a command knife in his hand, stood in front of hundreds of Japanese infantry formations with white cloth on their heads, and issued military orders with a ferocious face.

Four murderous heavy machine guns were set up in front of the Japanese infantry formation. The white cloth wrapped around the heads of the four groups of heavy machine gunners was taken from the white shirts of the wounded, and the blood that had not yet dried was even dripping.

The supervision team is not just a verbal statement of this lieutenant colonel in the army. They would rather lose the heavy firepower attack on the enemy than point their guns at their colleagues who dare not move forward.

All the Japanese soldiers lowered their heads in silence.

"Yoshi! I'm waiting for good news from you! The empire's military fortune is prosperous!" Sekosuke nodded, pointed his command knife at the high ground in front, and shouted loudly: "Attack!"

"The empire's military fortune is prosperous!" Captain Maeda, who was standing in the Japanese infantry formation, shouted hoarsely.

The Japanese army captain, who was already filled with fear, probably didn't realize that his voice was as light as a mosquito, because what followed was the deafening infantry's heartbreaking roar of "The empire's military fortune is prosperous".

Not everyone has a clear mind like the Japanese army captain who was ordered to lead the team to charge.

The prosperity of the empire's military fortune is awesome. The wealth of the Chinese town and the wanton slaughter allow the bestiality to be fully released, but the premise is that you have to be alive!

So, the Japanese army captain who was ordered by his superiors' cruel military orders and was forced into the first wave of attack by ordinary Japanese infantrymen with bloodshot eyes died.

When he entered a position less than 200 meters away from the Chinese position, he was taken away by Lieutenant Long, who was becoming more and more adept, with a long burst of fire.

Who made the Japanese army captain, who was terrified in his heart, still hold his sharp saber made with the power of his family until his death!

The one who can hold the saber must be the commander! Long Yan's cognition is absolutely correct.

A series of 30 bullets swept to Captain Maeda. It didn't need to hit all of them. As long as one-fifth hit the body, Amaterasu couldn't save him.

"Onboard!" The Japanese army burst into a deafening slogan.

The scene of nearly 600 Japanese soldiers in eight waves, facing the flames of a heavy machine gun shooting from the flank, is absolutely a classic.

To use Long Yan's original words after the war: "This is the first time I've killed people and my hands are so soft! I'm almost numb!"

The MG34 in his hand only stopped for ten seconds when changing the belt and the barrel. Other than that, it never stopped shooting.

The two signalmen had no time to do anything else, not even fear. They just buried their heads and kept loading bullets and cooling the almost red barrels after they were replaced.

If there is no water, then pee. If there is no urine, then use saliva.

Anyway, they can't let the machine gun stop.

Even, they didn't think they could win this battle. They were almost just driven by instinct to do this job.

In fact, even Long Yan himself didn't think he could do anything. As he said, he was numb, and he just mechanically aimed at all the Japanese soldiers he could see in his field of vision.

The bullets fired crazily by the Japanese army passed through the firing hole and rubbed his helmet, leaving a deep mark. The huge kinetic energy caused him to lean back and almost broke his rather sturdy neck. The army lieutenant, who was already red-eyed with killing, threw his helmet off directly.

The fragments of the grenade that exploded less than two meters in front of him scratched his brow, and blood flowed instantly. Long Yan grabbed the mud on the ground and smeared it on the wound. The blood that still couldn't stop dripping dripped on the replaced and still hot barrel, making a terrible sizzling sound.

But none of these could stop the deafening gunshots from the machine gun in Long Yan's hand.

A row of Japanese soldiers fell, and then a row of Japanese soldiers rushed up, and then fell again.

The Japanese army was like a huge wave, and the Chinese position was like an ancient reef formed for tens of millions of years. It was hit hard by the huge waves, but it still existed.

The god of death was enjoying this feast crazily!

Sekosuke's face changed from a hideous look at the beginning to disbelief later, and then to despair.

He bet that his opponent's gun was running out of bullets, which was a complete joke.

What was even more ridiculous was not only the initial attack, but also that after he suffered three consecutive setbacks in his attack waves, the terrible machine gunner gave up long bursts and used short bursts, causing the fourth wave of attack to approach the 60-meter area of ​​the opponent's position. This made him, who was already regretful, decide to go to the gambling table again.

The Chinese had few bullets left, and he was finished if he only had this guy.

If he could break through the position in front of him and take the head of the Chinese general, he could completely make up for the mistake of killing 400 officers and soldiers.

This is the typical gambler's mentality. He knew that he might lose everything and his family would be ruined, but he still hoped that he could make a comeback by investing again. As long as he could make a comeback, he would not play anymore.

He ordered the supervision team to open fire and kill more than a dozen infantrymen who dared to retreat. Sekosuke waved his command knife and stood less than 400 meters away from the high ground, driving the last 400 infantrymen to continue his "dare to die charge"!

Even at the end, he even pulled out a hundred people from the heavy machine gun squadron to take up rifles.

Then, he despairingly discovered that the bullets of that machine gun seemed to be endless. After killing more than 600 people, it still stubbornly spewed out flames.

That must be a machine gun from hell. Sekosuke finally collapsed in despair.

After the last wave of Japanese infantry fell desperately on the battlefield, the Japanese army lieutenant colonel who was completely overwhelmed by despair made an even more stupid decision.

He committed seppuku on the spot.

Then, the remaining Japanese grenade launchers and heavy machine gunners were at a loss!

Because they had lost all their officers, there were only two second lieutenant squad leaders left on the scene, not from the infantry, but from the heavy machine gun squad.

The captain of their heavy machine gun squadron was also forced to go to the battlefield by the crazy lieutenant colonel, and of course died on the hillside stained red with the blood of the imperial infantry.

Without a commander, the Japanese grenade launchers and heavy machine gunners who had been beaten and confused decided to run away, and they did not forget to take 11 heavy machine guns with them.

The famous Type 92 heavy machine gun has fierce firepower, but it weighs 55 kilograms with a tripod. Without four strong men, who can lift it?

The fleeing Japanese army came up with a good idea. As long as the gun body does not need a tripod, it will not be considered as the loss of imperial equipment.

So, the Type 92 heavy machine gun, which was originally quite powerful, became a complete decoration.

Second Lieutenant Long, who was also crazy about killing, had no intention of letting them go. Long before the last two waves of Japanese infantry were shot in vain on the hillside, he had already ordered the signal soldiers to crawl to the front position and the left wing, inform the three guard squad leaders, and draw out most of the submachine gun soldiers to take a detour from the rear and chase the remnants of the Japanese army who had lost all their infantry at any time.

A total of 18 submachine gun soldiers, led by two sergeant squad leaders Luo Wanjian and Wang Dashui, participated in this exciting jungle chase.

The Japanese grenade launchers and heavy machine gunners who lost the protection of infantry were not much stronger than quails in this close combat.

The distance they tried to get close to the 2nd Infantry Battalion was not even more than 3 miles.

A Japanese infantry battalion that rushed towards Mo Nan Town with great momentum, except for more than 20 grenade launchers and heavy machine gunners who escaped into the mountains and forests by chance, the rest were all wiped out!

"Great victory, annihilate the invading Japanese brigade!"

When a signalman ran to Mo'nan Town at the fastest speed in his life and reported the results of the battle to the white-haired general who had led all the civilian staff and the young and strong people in the town with spears and guns to establish a position, he was directly pointed at his head by the angry white-haired general with a gun, and the safety was turned off.

50 people fought against an infantry brigade, and they were completely wiped out. I don't blame you if you think I'm a fool, but lying about military intelligence is a capital crime!

"If you don't believe it, send someone to see it yourself!"

It's not that the signalman is smart, but he was just a little bit away, and the signalman who was running almost out of breath really died.

The shit-yellow color covering the hillside is simply a beautiful scenery that the white-haired general who arrived at the scene in person and once wrote "Blood is like frost under Niangzi Pass" will never forget in his life!

Even the gorgeous autumn scenery of Falu Ridge, where half of his ashes were buried by his children after his death, is three points inferior to this!
