Rise From Eight Hundred

The total length of the passage is more than 2,000 meters. Because they were afraid of being attacked by the Chinese, the Japanese army adopted a strategy of passing through quickly.

According to the marching plan personally formulated by the infantry battalion captain, the 1st Infantry Battalion led the way, followed by the baggage soldiers, engineers and other auxiliary arms, and the 2nd Infantry Battalion protected the regiment headquarters at the end. The remnants of the 3rd Infantry Battalion stayed outside the passage to prevent being attacked by the Chinese.

Strictly speaking, the Japanese major took all the dangers into consideration. There were enough troops to defend the top, front and back of the passage. For an elite infantry trotting forward, the distance of more than 2,000 meters was only about 15 minutes.

But the problem was inside the passage, in the natural holes on the straight cliffs.

In fact, the Japanese were not blind. Of course, they also saw these caves on the cliffs through visual and telescope vision, but many clearly visible coffins dispelled their doubts. This kind of hanging coffin is not uncommon in Changyang County, and it is difficult for people to reach such a place where corpses are placed by descending a hundred meters by rope.

This location is particularly consistent with the saying "there is no way to the sky and no door to the earth". Without external assistance, there is only one result for anyone who goes to such a cave-death.

Therefore, the Japanese officer who led the reconnaissance did not take this kind of hanging coffin cave too seriously at all, and even forgot about it when reporting to the superiors.

So, when the vanguard of the Japanese army entering the passage arrived at the entrance less than 200 meters away from the passage, the Japanese army captain who led the team personally had already seen his second lieutenant squad leader waving his little hand not far away, and just breathed a sigh of relief.

A thing fell from the sky and fell into the queue, hitting a Japanese infantryman who had no time to dodge and fell to the ground without a sound.

The Japanese army captain who turned back suddenly looked at this object and instantly had a dead soul!

It was a thing, a thing that was smoking, and it was not small, weighing at least ten kilograms.

With this weight, let alone the Japanese infantrymen who were only wearing helmets, even if they had a big iron pot on their heads, falling from a height of nearly 60 meters, the huge potential energy could also break people's tendons and bones. The probability of the Japanese soldiers who were hit becoming vegetative was more than 5%, and the other 95% would naturally die immediately.

But this result was actually good news for the seriously injured Japanese soldiers, at least he didn't have to experience great fear.

Whenever something smoking was suddenly thrown at their feet on the battlefield, it must not be a good thing.

That's right, it was the standard line cyclone explosive pack of the Four-Line Regiment, one weighing five kilograms.

There was one in each cave on the cliff, and the first one to be thrown down was the cave where Longyan was located. It was both an attack on the Japanese army and a signal, meaning that the attack had officially begun.

Because the fuse was long, the explosive pack that fell had not exploded yet, and the fuse was still burning.

But that was obviously not to leave any chance for the Japanese infantrymen to survive, because the fuse would burn out in only two seconds at most.

Even the bravest soldiers could only be dumbfounded in the face of such deep despair.

The sizzling sound of the fuse burning in the suddenly quiet passage rang loudly in the ears of dozens of Japanese soldiers, and the collapse in their hearts was beyond words.

"Baga!" The Japanese army captain only had time to roar with a distorted face.

"Bang!" The explosive pack exploded.

The terrible air wave blew more than 30 Japanese soldiers like leaves, throwing them away at will. Some of them hit the mountain wall that had existed since ancient times, splashing blood and flesh. Some of them even ignored gravity like a rocket, flew up to a height of 15 meters, and then fell hard, turning into a pool of flesh.

However, at least they would not feel pain. At the moment the air wave hit their bodies, they were actually dead.

The terrible air wave not only attacked the Japanese infantry within the 50-meter area, but also caused the Japanese soldiers 100 meters away to wail.

The Japanese Army Second Lieutenant, who was standing at the entrance of the valley 200 meters away and trying his best to wave to welcome his immediate superior, was instinctively knocked to the ground by the sudden huge explosion. It was not until a Type 90 steel helmet fell from the sky and landed in front of him that the Japanese Army Second Lieutenant, whose face was already covered with dust, recovered and ran madly to the back. The warning of "enemy attack" with all his strength could have echoes in the valley at ordinary times, but at this moment, it was easily drowned out by the continuous explosions.

After receiving the attack signal sent by Longyan with explosive packs, the officers and soldiers in the cave on the mountain wall either ignited the explosive packs and threw them down, or picked up the cluster grenades that had been prepared long ago and pulled the fuse to throw them down.

The semi-enclosed space of the passage is simply a blessing for weapons in explosives. The air wave caused by the explosion can vent energy in a few directions, only in the front, back and top directions.

In addition to the space above, there were Japanese troops in both the front and back directions.

The energy generated by the explosion was still the same, but the destructive power was 5 times that of the plain!

"This is only because I am good at fighting. If it were you, you would be crippled if not dead!" Long Yan in the cave wanted to stick his head out to admire his achievements, but he was thrown to the ground by the gust of air, and he did a backflip. He could only say this to his two soldiers.

The two soldiers looked at the frustrated platoon leader and could only hold back their laughter.

In the first wave of attacks, each fire team of the 3rd platoon dropped 52 explosive packets and 130 grenades. The nearly 2,500-meter passage was filled with smoke and dust, not to mention that the Chinese officers and soldiers above could not see clearly. , the visibility is less than 20 meters.

The so-called wailing film field is simply reflected here.

After the huge explosion that could be heard 10 miles away, the wailing sound that echoed through the mountains and fields came from the passage, making the Japanese soldiers outside the passage terrified.

"No action is allowed without my order!" Major Tominaga, who was in a temporary field trench less than 200 meters away from the passage, gave the order with a livid face.

What he worried about most finally happened.

The narrow passage with thick gunpowder smoke constantly rising was like a giant beast that had opened its mouth to devour, devouring the lives of the more than 2,000 imperial officers and soldiers who had entered it.

Although he didn't know how the Chinese came out and launched such a terrible attack on the main force of the alliance, he knew very well that the 400 people under him were the last hope of the alliance. Without understanding the Chinese Before the attack method, he must not use his last strength to sink again.

Tominaga was very wise. His decision allowed the 232nd Infantry Regiment to exist in this world for one more day without canceling the formation of the regiment this early morning.

Because no one can leave this semi-sealed passage alive, which is blocked by fire points composed of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns every twenty or thirty meters.

There is no need for precise aiming. The officers and soldiers of Longyan's 3rd platoon are well versed in the method of "taking advantage of someone's illness to kill someone." The submachine gunners just hold their submachine guns, lie on the platform, and shoot at the base below.

It’s almost the same as getting lucky!

The Japanese who have already been fucked to death by all kinds of explosions are fucked like this again, it is simply a miserable reminder to open the door for the miserable — the miserable is home.

No one can count how many Japanese soldiers were killed by the Chinese at any cost during the explosion or within five minutes after the explosion. The only thing that can be known is that the elite-educated Colonel Naokage of the 232nd Infantry Regiment The regimental commander was injured in the first round of explosions and died in the second wave of gunfire.

That was the news brought back to Major Tominaga by Saji Naoe's personal guard. Tominaga recorded it and sent it back to the 39th Division Headquarters.

That was also one of the lucky 26 people out of the 2,100 Japanese soldiers who entered the tunnel who were able to escape that hell.

Colonel Naokage Saji's life was already very hard. After the first explosion came, the guards around him quickly pushed him behind a rock in the passage. Although an explosive package dropped from above was ten It exploded a few meters away, but due to the obstruction of the rocks, the air wave did not hurt him.

However, more than 20 meters behind, a cluster grenade consisting of six grenades bundled together exploded and sent shrapnel flying everywhere. Even the five loyal guards could not completely block it.

A piece of fragment passed through the gap in the human body and hit Colonel Naokage's face impartially, causing blood to flow profusely in an instant.

When the explosion was over, the few guards who were still alive carried the injured Japanese Army Colonel and ran back. Unfortunately, the Chinese on the mountain wall had no intention of leaving any chance to the Japanese soldiers who were still alive. They were like exploding beans. Gunfire rang out.

Before they ran twenty meters, all four guards were hit by bullets and incapacitated. The personal guard tried his best to drag Saji Naokage, who was hit by another bullet, to a blind corner, and then desperately called for medical help. The soldiers came to bandage the commander of the regiment.

The Japanese Army Colonel, whose face was completely stained with blood, managed to glance at the area where he was shot. He shook his head and refused the hemostatic pack torn open by the medical soldier crawling over. He weakly left the following words: "No need, this is The entire responsibility for the defeat of the second regiment lies with me. I hope that I, the 26th person who died in China, can use my life to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

When he said this, the two Japanese soldiers who were still trying desperately to save their regiment leader had no choice but to stop the rescue operation and watched helplessly as the Japanese army colonel took his last breath amidst the gunfire of the Chinese that still resounded through the passage.

No matter how many people in the 232nd Infantry Regiment can escape after the ambush, anyone who is not a fool knows that this battle is already lost.

Because of the extremely special terrain of the passage, the Chinese were on the mountain wall. Even if there were brave men in the Japanese army below who raised their guns and fired, the vertical mountain wall had no shooting range at all, so this kind of counterattack was completely useless.

The Japanese infantry at the top of the mountain were even more anxious. Looking down, they couldn't even see the caves, let alone the Chinese, and their rifles and grenades were completely ineffective.

The cost of having to be beaten passively was that the Chinese caused hundreds or even thousands of casualties to the coalition almost without spending a single soldier. Someone had to take the blame.

And this pot is so big that no one can carry it except Saji Naoe, the army commander. He is actually happier dead than alive.

As for the 26th member of the Saji family that Saji Naoe mentioned before his death, it was really not the old devil trying to put money on his face. Since the late Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates have been invading China's coastal defense. The George family was the most stubborn group among the Japanese pirates. They had long sent their elite children to participate in plunder. During the history of more than 300 years, a total of 26 members of the George family participated in the war of aggression against China, and their hands were stained with the honor of the Chinese nation. blood.

However, evil is rewarded, and the George family seems to be cursed. Anyone who sets foot on the land of China will eventually die.

Saji Naoki did not escape this fate. He was originally the chief researcher at the local army mecha maintenance school. In order to be promoted to major general of the army, his family spent a lot of money to let him go to the Kwantung Army to be a colonel. He was transferred to the Central China battlefield because of the establishment of the 39th Division within two years.

Then, he was stuck in the beautiful Wushan Mountains in China.

It must be said that he was lucky. The Chinese soldiers were quite good at finding a place to bury his body. For a person who wants to retire, the mountains and rivers here will not be boring for decades.

Maybe Saji Naoki would not think so, but he could only die here, when hundreds of Japanese infantrymen were so frustrated that they were swept up by the explosion waves and then thrown on the mountain wall like toy dolls.

The Japanese were not as strong as they thought. After a short upward shooting without the expected effect, the Japanese infantrymen who were lucky enough to survive in the passage began to make the last effort to survive.

There was only one tactical action, run!

They stretched their short legs and ran as fast as they could. As long as they ran fast enough and had good luck, they might still survive.

"Xiyou, save me! I want to go home!"

"Please, save me! I have 100 yen here, all for you!"

The wounded Japanese soldiers in the passage looked at their colleagues who could still walk, and cried out for help.

However, in the face of the urgent pleas of their colleagues who could live and die together on the battlefield, most of the Japanese infantry chose to turn a blind eye and leave without looking back.

Those who turned back to try to help their colleagues were eventually shot into honeycombs by bullets shot from above their heads.

However, how could a guy like Long Yan, who had eight hundred minds, not guess the reaction of the Japanese infantry after being attacked!

Having stayed in this calling slot passage for almost a week, he had already observed it thoroughly. When the Japanese infantrymen began to run wildly under the hail of bullets, and saw that there were a few fish that had escaped and had crossed the area where the first explosive pack exploded, and there were still 200 meters to escape, Long Yan sneered: "Detonate for me!"

"Boom!" A loud noise.

The huge sound made even the two soldiers in the cave who had prepared by wearing earplugs and covering their ears with both hands dizzy.

That was the detonation of 10 5-kilogram explosive packs!

More than 50 meters to the right of the cave, there was a rock weighing tens of tons on the mountain wall!

Long Yan had already calculated that if all the Japanese could be blown to death or beaten to death, he could save 10 explosive packs, and there would be no risk in his position.

But if the Japanese were so lucky and still tried to escape, he could only use the last trick, using explosives to blow up the rock and smash it down to completely block the passage.

The terrible explosion blew up the entire rock, and the entire mountain seemed to be shaking. I'm afraid that only Long Yan, a daring guy, remained calm.

But after the war, when Long Yan was drinking with his brother-in-law Shen Laoliu and Cao Yingchong, he told the truth. He said that when he felt the cave shaking, he had the urge to urinate, fearing that he would be in trouble and not only kill the Japanese, but also himself.

When his little nephew set out, he could already speak, and he hugged his neck and begged him: "Uncle, don't go, don't go!" He couldn't let his nephew lose his uncle.

"Damn it, that's my son. Why does he clap his hands when he sees me wearing a military uniform and carrying a gun? It's like he's afraid that his father won't go to the war!" Shen Laoliu couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard his brother-in-law say this.

"Haha! Maybe we both have the surname Long, and your surname is Shen!" Long Yan laughed loudly.

There is a rule in Yeyue Village that women cannot marry outside the village. Long Ying is the headman. Although he broke this rule, in order to shut up the tribesmen, he still chose to give his first child the surname Long. This was decided before the two got married.

Long Yan was laughing happily at this moment, but he was still a little scared. The power of the cyclone explosives was beyond his imagination. After the war, it was found that the mountain was blown open by the 30 kilograms of high explosives buried in the rock layer.

Nearly 100 tons of rocks smashed into the passage, not only smashing the human bodies, whether alive or dead, in the passage of more than 60 meters in length into meat paste, but also forming a stone wall nearly 7 or 8 meters high.

I thought that according to the Japanese infantry's good physique and technical and tactical capabilities, they could climb over it by building a ladder.

But that was during training, not wartime!

Because in wartime, they would have to face a string of bullets shot from dozens of meters high. Who would build a human body in front of Long Yan? This "machine gun god of war" holding an MG42 machine gun would be too cool.

The battle in the entire passage did not last long, only half an hour, but this half an hour was like a year for the three Japanese troops outside the passage.

They hid in the simple trenches and guarded their positions tremblingly, while looking at the passage eagerly, hoping that more imperial colleagues could run back from there.

But obviously, they were disappointed.

In the end, the number of Japanese infantrymen who could escape from the back of the passage was almost single digit. The 232nd Infantry Regiment, from the colonel commander to the two majors, and then to the squadron leaders and squad leaders, none of them came out.

They were all swallowed up by the terrifying passage that was only 2,500 meters long.

Major Tominaga's heart was like it had been soaked in coptis water for three years, and it was bitter.

Because he knew that with the end of the main force of the regiment, it would be their turn to survive for the lucky few who were less than an infantry battalion.

Yes, it was not revenge or defeat, but fighting for the five or six hundred people who were still alive in the regiment.

Judging from the ruthlessness shown by the Chinese before, they would never let their remnants retreat easily.

As early as 15 minutes ago, he had ordered the infantry squadron on the mountain to retreat back to his position immediately to avoid being defeated by the Chinese one by one.

As for the three infantry squads 5 kilometers away, Major Tominaga Ichi chose to give up very rationally.

As long as the Chinese are not stupid, they will definitely eat them up skin and bones. With the 80-centimeter-deep simple field trenches they dug in a short period of time, it would be a miracle for Amaterasu to be able to block the large-caliber mortars of the Chinese.

Judging from the current situation, Amaterasu is obviously not capable enough to take care of it.

The conjecture of the Japanese Army Major was perfect again!

The three infantry platoons of the mountain infantry company actually left their original positions and surrounded the 600 Japanese troops.

Surrounding 600 people with 230 troops and trying to wipe them out was the first case in the Central China War Zone in more than two years of fierce fighting!
