Rise From Eight Hundred

At night, the Japanese troops who were ordered to continue to consolidate the positions they had occupied in the city and shrink their defenses. The Chinese army, which had been fighting for more than a day, no longer launched frequent counterattacks to drive the thousands of Japanese troops who had entered the city out of the city.

The two sides entered a short ceasefire period.

However, under such a battle situation, it was obviously impossible for all soldiers to sleep peacefully. No one wanted to be quietly beheaded by the enemy who had found their way into the defense line while they were sleeping.

The Japanese army was extremely vigilant. The Kunisaki Detachment and the 114th Division in Xicheng had been attacked twice by the Chinese who had voluntarily left their fortifications, not to mention that the defense lines of both sides were almost intertwined.

Moreover, it was pitch black now, and only the not-so-bright moonlight could allow people to see five or six meters away, which was the most difficult environment for the defenders.

But no one on both sides of China and Japan dared to have lights, which was purely to guide the opponent's small-caliber artillery.

The defenders of Dongcheng District also did not dare to be careless. If they could attack the Japanese army, the Japanese army could naturally attack them.

The combat experience during the day has reminded the Chinese officers and soldiers that the Japanese army on the opposite side is fierce and cunning. As the attackers, they can fight with them in an almost one-to-one casualty ratio in an unfamiliar battlefield. They are definitely extremely terrible opponents. It is normal to use the night to launch a surprise attack.

Therefore, the safest way is to stare at the big guys who are still in the ruins.

The soldiers held their breath and hid in the corners they thought were safe, staring at the darkness vigilantly. The slightest noise may stimulate them to pick up their guns.

Such a night is extremely tormenting for the officers and soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese confrontation. Although they don’t spend huge physical energy running, chasing and shooting each other like during the day, the mental pressure is even greater than during the day.

Because of the darkness, the surrounding environment that cannot be seen clearly always gives people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

But people are not made of steel. From 10 pm to 3 am after the basic ceasefire, there was no fighting for five long hours, which was worthy of the secret congratulations of the soldiers on both sides. Although the shadow of death still made the soldiers try their best to open their eyes, the relaxation of vigilance would make the strong fatigue accumulated from the spirit to the body in a day and a night surge like a tide.

Many people, including the Chinese soldiers who were under greater psychological pressure, could fall asleep immediately as long as they leaned against the wall. The dried chili peppers brought by the Sichuan soldiers seemed to have lost their effectiveness.

Some people even looked at him with their eyes open, but in fact, their pupils had completely lost focus. Even if you stretched out your hands and shook them in front of him, he would not respond.

Not dead, but asleep.

If the battlefield during the day is a test of the combat quality and weapons and equipment of the soldiers on both sides, then the ruins with only occasional gunshots at night are the battlefields for the willpower of both sides.

So far, the elite of the Japanese Sixth Division has not completely surpassed the defenders of Songjiang, but the fact that they can tie has proved that they are stronger.

After all, the defenders of Songjiang were facing huge psychological pressure that the entire army would be killed if the defense line collapsed.

However, the defenders of Songjiang had Tang Dao, but the Japanese did not.

Tang Dao, who completely avoided the Japanese search by camouflaging himself as Li Taodaijiang, waited until about 11 o'clock in the evening before leaving his original position and moving into the city.

He was very patient. Even when the night enveloped the wilderness, his speed was surprisingly slow, because he concluded that the Japanese had not given up. Several huge searchlights were constantly sweeping the wilderness. Their purpose was not to warn, but to catch the prey that made them helpless.

The trick of playing hard to get was left over by the ancestors of China, and Tang Dao naturally would not make this mistake.

It was only 200 meters away from the city wall, but it took Tang Dao a full two hours until he quietly sank into the moat.

The moat water, which was still full of floating corpses, was fishy and smelly, but for Tang Dao, which was once full of internal organs, it was already a rare clear spring. The smell on his body was still unpleasant, but compared to the previous stench that made the Japanese soldiers want to hold their penises straight, it was already considered fresh.

Fortunately, Tang Dao had a terrifying experience of staying in the sewer for two days and one night, which was still within his tolerable range.

Overcoming disgusting smells and substances is one of the required subjects of special training.

However, it was not only this extremely rigorous psychological overcoming training that allowed Tang Dao to finally escape from this battlefield.

Tang Dao guessed correctly that the Japanese army, who searched the entire wilderness but did not find the target, still did not give up.

After the search team returned to the headquarters, at least 30 Japanese soldiers quietly crawled towards the wilderness under the cover of night. They were ordered to lurk in the wilderness, and their target was still the murderer who killed the division commander.

Although the vision was not good, they would listen, and any sound in the silent wilderness would allow them to find the target.

It's not that Sakai Tokutaro, who issued this order, dared to be sure that the murderer must still be there, but he had to give an explanation to Yanagawa Heisuke, the North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters, and even the headquarters on the main island.

It was already jaw-dropping that the army lieutenant general commanding 30,000 troops was caught by a sneak gunman in the army and took the head of the general from the army. In the end, even the murderer got away. I'm afraid the entire army will become a shame in the history of the Japanese army.

Therefore, even if he knew that this might still waste manpower in vain, Sakai Tokutaro had to do this.

What if?

It's a pity that he was facing a special soldier who was nearly a hundred years ahead of this era.

The strength of a professionally trained special forces soldier does not lie in his individual combat power and unimaginable camouflage ability, but in his mind, he has the essence of various battle examples for nearly a hundred years. He basically knows all the tricks played by the Japanese on the battlefield.

This is the so-called information asymmetry, or in other words, the understanding of special tactics by both sides is not on the same dimension.

Tang Dao can also be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack.

All the calculations of the Japanese Army Major General came to nothing.

Tang Dao, the "devil" in the eyes of the 36th Infantry Regiment, which has disappeared, returned from the wilderness to the ruins of the city.

In order to arrange the fortifications in the city, Tang Dao walked through the streets of Songjiang City. Tang Dao, who drew the defense map by hand, did not say that he knew this block well, but he still had a general impression, even though this was once a very unfamiliar city for him.

He didn't know which was the Japanese occupied area and which was the Chinese, but this did not prevent the special forces soldier who only carried a Type 38 bayonet from lurking and wandering in this block.

Theoretically, the farther the soldiers are from the front line, the more they will relax their vigilance, especially after a day of fighting, they have to wait for dawn with their eyes wide open.

The first to suffer were not the front-line Japanese troops, but the front-line command post of the 13th Infantry Regiment at the rear.

A Japanese colonel chose to set up his headquarters less than 300 meters away from the front line. It can be imagined that the Japanese army was eager to capture this ancient city.

It is commendable to have such a desperate mentality, but he should not have set up the headquarters in a heavy firepower point inside a wall that has not collapsed.

Although it can prevent the bombardment of various artillery.

Tang Dao determined his attack target based on the firelight shining in the hole in the wall.

However, the headquarters with two infantry squads of guards is in a special position and is very easy to defend. Two light machine guns and scattered field fortifications around it cross-protect it. Even with the ability of Tang Dao, it is unable to break into its defense circle and kill its commander by itself.

Even though Tang Dao had seen that at least half of the people were dozing off.

So, a roar first broke out from a Japanese position 150 meters away.

Then, the roar was suppressed by a gunshot.

The roar was made by a Japanese second lieutenant.

The Japanese second lieutenant had been patrolling the defense line all night without sleep. He only took a short rest in the house for 15 minutes because of extreme fatigue. When he patrolled the defense line again with several soldiers, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

Under the light of the flashlight that he had to turn on, there were seven or eight corpses lying in a house.

The bodies of all the remaining personnel of an infantry squad under his command after the daytime battle.

They were brave and good at fighting. They did not die on the battlefield, but quietly became cold corpses at the defense point.

How did the Chinese do it?

The Japanese lieutenant certainly didn't know that China's thousands of years of heritage is more than just culture. The various strange and lewd skills of the lower nine classes are enough to be regarded as the most magical magic by Western countries. Drugs similar to the "Five Drums Soul-breaking Incense" are amazing even for special forces from the future.

This is naturally the most suitable battlefield.

The Japanese soldiers who have been tortured by exhaustion and ecstasy, why don't they go to see Zhou Gong? They also visit Amaterasu.

I don't know anything, but how can the Japanese lieutenant, who is shocked and angry, not roar?
