Rise From Eight Hundred

It was Li Jijin's Seventh Company that was the first to break through the defense line!

Because he was anxious to know the situation of his brothers in the company, Captain Li Dal went to the front line in person and charged with the third platoon with a submachine gun. He knew that the third platoon leader, who was very responsible, did not dare to stop his company commander even if he felt bitter in his heart. He could only arrange for his subordinates to The most powerful Tu Yunsheng is protected by Class 4.

Tu Yunsheng didn't dare to neglect, so he arranged two three-person teams to stand in front of Li Jijin. If the remaining Japanese machine gun fire opened fire, these six people would use their bodies to block the bullets fired at their company commander.

However, they all underestimated their company commander.

Even though Li Jijin has been the company commander for a long time, he is also a big-headed soldier, and he is still a big-headed soldier who has been in the army for ten years and has not even scratched his skin. Others may not be good, and his life-saving skills are almost Engraved in the bones.

"I still need you to protect me? I can charge as I please. The little devil who can kill me hasn't been born yet." Li Jijin, who was about to enter charging mode, cursed and shouted angrily: "Bulller." , Charge! The whole company is following me to kill the Japanese!"

"Didi-dip-dah!" The clear sound of the charge horn resounded throughout the battlefield.

At that time, a cloud of gunpowder smoke also rose from the last small courtyard guarded by Chinese soldiers in Zhaozhuang.

In Zhaojiazhuang, Lin Mu Qingyuan, who was still in a sluggish state as he looked at the ruins in front of him, suddenly turned back and looked into the distance, with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.

He had heard the charge horn unique to the Chinese army many times. Most of the time, those Chinese soldiers were like moths flying into the flames, falling in pieces in front of the Imperial Army's machine guns;

But this time, he, a veteran of the battlefield, trembled all over when he heard the trumpet sound again.

But that was a defense line deployed by more than a thousand infantrymen. What determination did the Chinese have to dare to charge against this defense line that was bound to be filled with death?

After being ravaged by more than 800 artillery shells, less than a hundred Japanese infantrymen survived on the thousand-meter line of defense in front of the 7th Company.

When they were pulled out of the artillery holes by superiors at all levels in a daze, they were horrified to find that the Chinese who were running forward quickly with their backs bent were already less than 80 meters away from the trenches.

"Shoot! Shoot!" With the shouts of only a few sergeants and squad leaders, the Japanese infantry began to fight back.

Several advancing Chinese soldiers fell down!

"Lie down! Cover fire!" Li Jijin pounced and issued the order at the same time!

A signal soldier following him fired a flare!

Behind the 7th company is a fire support group composed of 16 MG42 machine guns, 6 7mm machine guns and 2 20mm machine guns.

In order to break through the Japanese defense line in the shortest time, Tang Tuanzuo also gave the 7th company maximum support, even bringing the heavy Sulotong 20mm machine gun.

For these machine guns, six of the pack horses collapsed from exhaustion!

All efforts are worth it. If the MG42 rains bullets on the Japanese defense line and splashes of blood, then the 20mm machine gun and 7mm heavy machine gun are like hail falling from the sky. The sandbags or mounds of soil that were stuck were all shattered with one blow.

For example, the Japanese army had a semi-sunken machine gun fortification built with logs and sandbags. It was lucky enough to escape the destruction of artillery fire. The two Type 96 light machine guns located in it roared crazily at the officers and soldiers of the seventh company who were still crawling forward. Take a shot.

The flames sprayed from the muzzle are clearly visible!

As a result, this fortification was targeted by two 7mm heavy machine guns and a 20mm machine gun.

Adong, who was located no more than 60 meters away from the machine gun fortification, witnessed with his own eyes the brutality of his own heavy firearms.

There was no problem with a half-meter-thick sandbag blocking ordinary heavy machine gun fire, but it still seemed too fragile in front of a 20mm machine gun.

The sandbag fortification hit by the cigar-thick warhead first exploded with dust. The thick sandbag fortification was blown flat by more than 40 rounds of 20mm caliber artillery shells. The log fortification that was later exposed was hit by two 7mm machine guns. Under the crazy ejaculation, it was as fragile as the underwear of a nightclub girl.

A supposedly solid fortification was torn to pieces by crazy large-caliber bullets!

Under such a crazy rain of bullets, how could the Japanese infantry have the right to show their faces? Outcropping is almost a prelude to death.

The rain of bullets lasted for at least 2 minutes. The Japanese soldiers hiding in the trenches could only wait helplessly for the seemingly endless rain of bullets from the Chinese to end.

But for this Japanese army, the biggest nightmare was obviously not the machine gun cluster more than 400 meters away from them, but the 280 Chinese soldiers crawling forward.

"Drop the bomb!" Li Jijin, who was less than 50 meters away from the Japanese trench, roared!

Countless figures bounced up from the ground, threw long-handled grenades forward, then fell down, bounced up again, threw bombs, and then lay down again!

Two rounds of bombing, more than 400 bombs!

Smoke is rising in front of and in the trenches!

The Japanese trenches were filled with howls of ghosts and wolves!

"Follow me!" Li Jijin strode forward.

"Kill!" The roar that sounded on the battlefield even suppressed the rumble of cannons not far away.

In fact, the distance of 50 meters is not short. In peacetime, even if a professionally trained young man wears professional running shoes, it will take him six to seven seconds on a flat track. But here is a battlefield, which has been baptized by shells everywhere. In the farmland with craters, the speed is obviously at least half slower.

But here, there is no losing or winning, only life and death!

The effect of the 7th Company's rigorous training was finally revealed at this moment. Even if they were holding rifles weighing several kilograms and wearing only cloth shoes, they were like tigers coming down the mountain, jumping over bullet holes and passing through the smoke.

They were already very fast. Adong, who was carrying Tu Yunsheng, had never felt that he had run so fast. What passed by his ears was no longer the whizzing bullet marks, but the wind!

But even so, every second, someone would fall down!

However, at such a moment, no one cared. Even comrades-in-arms who were as close as brothers could only move forward at this moment.

Not only for themselves, but also for the injured brothers. If this round of charge failed, once they retreated, the death rate of the wounded who lost their ability to move so close to the Japanese trench position would be as high as 90%.

Whether it was for victory or survival, they could only move forward without hesitation.

Thanks to the completely suppressive firepower advantage in the early stage, the 7th Company finally rushed to the front of the Japanese trench after paying the price of more than 10 casualties.

The Japanese soldiers in the trenches, after finding that they were powerless to stop the enemy, also climbed out of the trenches and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

The 10th Division, worthy of being a Type A Division, did not retreat in the face of more than 200 Chinese soldiers full of murderous intent, even though there were only 70 people left.

Hand-to-hand combat is one of the most skilled infantry tactics of the Japanese infantry, and it is also the tactic that best demonstrates their bravery.

The Japanese soldiers, screaming and screaming, believed that they could make the Chinese, who were only a dozen meters away from them, pay a heavy enough price.

Unfortunately, the Four-Line Regiment was not an ordinary infantry regiment. They were not inferior to anyone in hand-to-hand combat, but it was completely unnecessary at this time.

The infantrymen of the infantry squad had all been equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and there were also 4 submachine guns. With such abundant continuous firepower, they had no need to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.

On the thousand-meter defense line, fierce gunfire rang out, and the crazy continuous shooting at close range shot dozens of Japanese soldiers who were half-crouching and holding their rifles horizontally to prepare for firing into sieves.

The blood spurting from the Japanese soldiers even splashed on Adong's face, but the simple mountain village youth in the past was not afraid at all. Instead, he chopped off the neck of a Japanese soldier who was still breathing and staring at him fiercely.

"Don't stare if you don't want to die. Grandpa will send you off!" Adong twisted his mouth disdainfully.

"Brother, don't worry about the spoils. The brothers behind will be responsible for cleaning them up. Follow the company commander!" Tu Yunsheng patted Adong's shoulder and stared at the front.

Zhaojiazhuang, a thousand meters away, was frighteningly quiet. Tu Yunsheng knew that the battle there was over.

With the characteristics of his brothers in the 7th Company, there was only one possibility!

Although the back of the company commander Jiujin who crossed the Japanese trench was still firm, Tu Yunsheng knew that the company commander must be in great pain.

Li Jiujin, who was usually the most cynical, had no other words except issuing military orders. This was extremely rare after Li Jiujin served as the company commander of the Four Lines Regiment.

The casualties of 6 people in such a battlefield where both sides have invested more than thousands of people in total are actually small enough to be ignored, but because of the paralysis and carelessness of the anti-mopping-up campaign over the past few months, 6 soldiers who had a chance to survive the war were collectively killed here. This may be the biggest guilt in Li Jiujin's heart!

"Order the whole company, kill all the remaining enemies in one minute, and arrive 400 meters in front of Zhaojiazhuang in five minutes! Pick up my brothers from the 7th company and go home!" Li Jiujin's somewhat hoarse voice sounded.

"Yes!" Tu Yunsheng rubbed his somewhat red eyes.

"The reconnaissance company and the guard company will encircle the two wings along the opening torn by the 7th company. Gu Xishui, take your mountain infantry company to cooperate with the 7th company to attack Zhaojiazhuang. Tell the whole army on my behalf that anyone who kills my brothers will be killed!" Tang Dao, who was 500 meters away, put down the telescope and ordered coldly.

The cold voice made the gray-clothed soldier standing on the side tremble all over, and wanted to persuade him but did not dare to speak.

Tang Dao's murderous intent was as solid as substance. How could he, a veteran who had been in the army for nearly ten years, not sense it? However, this is somewhat inconsistent with the instructions issued by the division.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou, I am the highest military commander in Ji'nan. Some military orders may conflict with some of your army's policies, but this is a battlefield and my orders are above everything else.

Since the Japanese have formulated the "Three Alls Policy", they should bear all the consequences. Those who raise their butcher knives against civilians have lost the qualification to become prisoners of war." Tang Dao did not even look back and said lightly.

"Any mercy to the enemy is cruel to my 400 million Chinese compatriots!"

"Yes, resolutely execute the commander's military order!" The gray-clothed soldier trembled fiercely and stood up to answer.

Tang Dao is not only the deputy commissioner of the Ji'nan Administrative Office in public, but also the heroic commander of the regiment directly under the war zone. Faced with such a tough Tang Dao, who dares not to respect his military orders?

"Your unit is responsible for cooperating with the two companies of my regiment to compress the living space of the remaining enemies outside the village. As long as the little devils are compressed here, I will remember your great merit in Lincheng Division!" Tang Dao drew a circle fiercely on the simple battle map.

"As long as the Japanese don't run away, I promise to complete this mission." The gray-clothed soldier answered confidently.

The place where the Tang Dao was drawn was a hill, where the Japanese army also built a position, which was the most difficult part of the Japanese army's circular defense line. It might take a lot of casualties for the gray-clothed soldier to lead his troops to conquer it, but if the Japanese were driven over like sheep, the gray-clothed soldier would still be confident enough.

Of course, the premise is that the Japanese don't flee to the wilderness on all sides, then it will be difficult to chase them.

"Don't worry, the Japanese are well prepared this time. They are just waiting for the main force of our army to arrive. How can they admit defeat easily. Their commander will definitely issue military orders to hold on to this position and Zhaojiazhuang." Tang Dao's eyes showed Jumping flames.

"It's just that Yoshio Shinozuka didn't expect that Tang Dao would be here waiting for him! The little bait he took out is nothing in my eyes."

An hour later, the soldiers in gray uniforms knew why Tang Dao said that the nearly 600 Japanese troops hiding in the hilly areas were nothing.

Indeed, under the heavy bombardment of 12 150-caliber guns at all costs, any trenches or anti-gun holes other than reinforced concrete permanent fortifications were a joke.

The entire hilly area, with a radius of only 20,000 square meters, was plowed back and forth more than five times by 12 150-pound force guns and 80-mm howitzers.

It seemed like the whole land was burning!

Not to mention how the Japanese soldiers inside felt, even Deputy Battalion Commander Zhou, who was a bystander, felt his heart trembling and the corners of his mouth twitching in distress.

Of course, it's not that I feel sorry for the Japanese, but that I feel sorry for the artillery shells. This is too wasteful, isn't it?

The main force of the Japanese army has not yet arrived. At least 1,500 rounds of these artillery shells have been fired. A mere few hundred Japanese soldiers are not worth it!

"There's nothing wrong with it. If they kill our people, they have to pay with their lives! If the regimental commander says they have to die, then none of them will survive." A signal soldier who was responsible for serving as a liaison officer said so.

Before the final attack on these hills, the battle at Zhaojiazhuang was over.

The two infantry companies had no intention of engaging in street fighting with the more than 400 Japanese troops under Lin Muqingyuan's command who were waiting in the village. Six howitzers were placed in an area less than 500 meters away from the outside of the village, and the muzzles were leveled.

The advantages of dual-purpose artillery are undoubtedly obvious here. The 80mm artillery is the direct-aimed artillery that the defenders fear most.

The high wall that caused the Japanese army a headache was blown down, and the Japanese infantry who dared to hide around and wait for close combat were thrown away by the ruthless air waves.

An entire infantry squad deployed by Lin Mu Qingyuan in front of the village was blown into pieces amidst the roar of six artillery pieces.

The Japanese army once again tasted the humiliation of dying in battle without firing a shot. This was the daily routine of their opponents, and now all the Four Troops have been returned.

Lin Mu Qingyuan in the village closed his eyes in pain. He knew that the Chinese had come for revenge. If he and his men wanted to survive, they had only one way to survive and quickly left the village that was already trembling under artillery fire.

But he couldn't leave. Colonel Numata Tazō's military order was for him to strictly guard Zhaojiazhuang, so that when the reinforcements arrived, they would cooperate inside and outside to defeat the main force of the Chinese who arrived first.

But the key is, can he hold on until reinforcements arrive?

Lin Mu Qingyuan didn't know, but he still resolutely carried out the military order of His Excellency the Colonel, ordering each infantry squad to form a small team or a three-person team, rely on the houses and courtyards in the village, just like their enemies, and rush into Chinese street fighting in the village.

The Chinese's attack from house to house will consume a lot of their time, perhaps even until the main force of the division arrives.

However, Lin Muqingyuan forgot one very important thing. The reason why the more than 60 Chinese soldiers were able to resist them for 16 hours with these houses made of rammed loess was that the most important thing was not the house, but the various materials excavated inside the house. Criss-crossing tunnels.

But they know nothing about these tunnels. Even if they can find the entrance to the tunnel, they don't dare to go in. The dark holes inside represent human beings' fear of the unknown.

In addition, Captain Lin Mu Qingyuan too underestimated his opponent.

After clearing the two peripheral infantry companies with artillery, enter the village from the left and right directions. Whenever gunshots are heard from that house or yard, the soldiers advancing in units of infantry squads will form a firepower network with MG42 machine guns and submachine guns. Use fire suppression on the people in the house, then send personnel to approach the house and throw Molotov cocktails!

The violent burning of Molotov cocktails made of sulfuric acid, gasoline, white phosphorus and other chemicals is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that it will ignite the house. If one is not enough, use two, and two is not enough for three.

The Japanese soldiers hiding in the house might be able to avoid bullets, but no one could avoid the blazing fire and the choking smoke.

"Zhuangzi is gone, we can build it again and burn them to death for me!" This was Tang Dao's explanation before Gu Xishui led his troops to set off.

The Japanese soldiers were like rats stuck in a hole and roasted by flames. They either rushed out wildly and shot and were shot into a sieve by a row of bullets, or they were burned into a ball of fire and wailed in the courtyard.

No one surrendered, not because the Japanese infantry were brave enough, but because no one gave them a chance.

In just 30 minutes, the gunfire in Zhaojiazhuang almost subsided, leaving only the houses that were set on fire.

Captain Lin Mu Qingyuan stood in the dilapidated courtyard he finally conquered, his face pale.

Nearly an hour ago, he was here to persuade the last resisting Chinese soldiers to surrender, but no one expected that he would be surrounded by the Chinese in the blink of an eye.

Lin Peng was still lying on the ground quietly, his face pale but peaceful! Some gray pupils still seemed to be laughing at his opponent.

"You died, but you won!" Lin Mu Qingyuan sat cross-legged next to Lin Peng's body with a dejected look on his face.

Then, Lin Mu Qingyuan's eyes froze. He saw the limp hand of the dead Chinese soldier before he breathed his last. One of his fingers stretched forward stiffly. Following that direction, he saw the collapsed house. .

"There is someone you want to protect there! I guess it should be a woman! And a beautiful woman, otherwise, how could you give hints to your colleagues when you are on the verge of death." Lin Muqingyuan's face showed a sickly blush.

"I haven't completely lost to you yet, right? If I cut off your hand, the person you buried in the tunnel under the house will not be found by anyone, and will die of thirst and hunger under this ruin!"

"Clang!" The samurai sword that the family spent hundreds of yen to make for Lin Muqingyuan before the expedition was unsheathed!

The sharp blade is unmatched! ()
