Rise From Eight Hundred
Chapter 856 Accidental Death!
The Japanese officer's tall horse suddenly rushed forward without any warning, and in a flash it had already jumped more than ten meters away. The speed was so fast that even Xia Dayu had to move the telescope to follow.
Then, Xia Dayu saw that the "mad" warhorse even hit several Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard.
The Oriental horse ridden by the Japanese officer was a cross between Arabian horses and local mares. It was 150 cm tall at the shoulder and weighed 500 kg. This high speed was not much different from the kinetic energy carried by a future micro car.
Not to mention people, even a solid wooden door could be smashed!
The several Japanese soldiers who were hit were knocked away for several meters, but the obviously frightened horse still didn't care. No matter how the Japanese officer on it tightened the reins, it still ran forward, and even threw the officer off the horse. But for this Japanese officer, the tragedy might have just begun.
The reason was simple. One of his feet was still hanging on the stirrup, and his whole body was like a rag doll, rising and falling with the mad horse's gallop.
The surrounding Japanese soldiers did not react until then. Several Japanese soldiers subconsciously raised their guns, but perhaps because they were worried about hurting the officer still hanging on the horse, they hesitated to shoot.
"If he can still survive, I will count his dog-day luck! Brother Niu Er, your shot was amazing!" Xia Dayu looked at this scene and almost laughed out loud.
He dared to guarantee that the madness of the Japanese warhorse was related to Niu Er's shot, otherwise the warhorse would not go crazy for no reason.
And Xia Dayu dared to guarantee that the Japanese officer who was hit by the ground several times with his head down must be finished. That guy didn't wear a helmet. Even if he did, his neck was not made of iron, right?
Xia Dayu, the youngest special forces soldier of the Four-line Regiment, made a correct judgment. Not to mention that the horse stepped into the air after running 50 meters, and the horse and the man were thrown seven or eight meters away. Just the fall and the pressure alone took away 70% of the man's life. Just the continuous collision of the human body on the ground was enough to break the most fragile neck of the human body.
Watching a group of Japanese soldiers madly rushing towards the man and the horse who fell to the ground, Niu Er also smiled slightly.
The rifle in his hand was limited in range after all. Even though he tried very hard, his shot was still a little bit off because of the deviation of the trajectory.
It should be that he didn't hit the man on the horse or the horse, but the distance was definitely not too far. As for why the Japanese horse went crazy, Niu Er guessed that it was because of the ricochet.
Although it was a bit regrettable, the Japanese officer was injured if not dead, and the goal was achieved anyway.
"Dayu, don't worry about him, continue to look for valuable targets!" Niu Er regained his calmness in his eyes and gave a calm order.
"Okay!" Xia Dayu moved the telescope again and looked at the distance on the other side.
At this time, the two special forces soldiers may have thought that they had killed a very important officer of the Japanese army by accident, but they didn't know that they killed the highest commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment-Ishiguro Sadazo!
Yes, the unlucky child who was pressed by the heavy 500 kg body of the Japanese horse 600 meters away was the tragic Colonel Sadazo Ishiguro.
The Japanese Army Colonel was very brave and planned to stay and lead the regiment guard squadron to cover the entire regiment, but the leader was just talking. If the subordinates took the leader's mouth cannon seriously, then they would not be qualified subordinates.
More importantly, the senior staff of the 2nd Infantry Regiment must also think about their own lives, right? If the regiment commander doesn't leave, where will these lieutenants, captains, and majors go?
For his own sake, the regiment commander must leave here too!
"Sir, you still need to keep your useful body to serve the empire. If you die with honor, it will only make the Chinese newspapers smile!" A group of senior staff officers of the regiment rushed forward and forcibly put their colonel commander on the horse's back.
Ishiguro Sadazo wanted to struggle, but the "combat effectiveness" shown by the staff officers at this time was much stronger than he imagined. The dignified army colonel was like a weak chicken at this moment.
Of course, what finally made Ishiguro Sadazo give up struggling was perhaps the reason that the staff officers came up with in a hurry. His head as an army colonel would definitely make Chinese newspapers boast for a while, and it would become a permanent shame for the 14th Division.
However, the Japanese army colonel who gave up the idea of dying in battle eventually died on the battlefield.
He was not heroic in the guns and cannons, but was crushed to death by his beloved warhorse.
After hitting the ground hard a few times, Ishiguro Sadazo had lost consciousness, but he was still breathing. However, when the frightened and mad warhorse stepped into the air and flew seven or eight meters, the heavy horse body happened to fall on his head, which was already covered with lumps.
So, Ishiguro Sadazo died, dying from the strong drag of his loyal subordinates. If not, even if he led the 200th infantryman to fight the Four-line Regiment, he would stop breathing at least 40 minutes later!
Niu Er's shot, as he felt, did not hit the man or the horse, but the distance was really not far, falling in an area less than one meter away from the man and the horse. The bullet hit a stone, and the stone fragments flew away. One of the fragments, the size of a fingernail, hit the big eyeball of the Japanese horse.
That shot directly pierced the eyeball of the Japanese horse. Do you think the Japanese horse, who was in extreme pain, would not go crazy!
If it hadn't been for the injury to his eyes, the Toyo Horse wouldn't have easily stepped into the air and used its huge body to deliver the final fatal blow to Ishiguro Sadanzo.
If the "accidental" death of the regiment commander Ishiguro Sadanzo caused irreparable losses to the 2nd Infantry Regiment, in fact, the biggest tragedy has just begun.
Among the several Japanese soldiers that were knocked away by the mad Toyo Horse, there happened to be a communications soldier heading to the 3rd Infantry Battalion.
The 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions on the main battlefield had nothing to say about the several military orders issued by Ishiguro Sadanzo before. They could only use the radio to symbolically issue orders. Whether they could receive them was up to fate. However, the 3rd Infantry Battalion, which still had the power to retreat, had its radio damaged by the Chinese artillery attack. Due to time constraints, there was no telephone line between the regiment headquarters and the 3rd Infantry Battalion, so they could only transmit messages by manpower.
This is probably one of the reasons why the Western world looks down on China and Japan.
The Chinese have no navy or air force, and their army can only rely on a few artillery pieces to support their appearance. They just want to come over and be a younger brother, but the Western world despises them. The Japanese, who are attacking China by dimensionality reduction, are stronger than the Chinese in terms of navy, air force and artillery, but in terms of mechanization and communication, they are actually 50 meters away from China.
In the Western world, as strong as the United States, not to mention that they can now equip field radios to company-level troops, they have even begun to develop simple mobile portable communication equipment that can be distributed to infantry squads.
This is exactly the case. When the Pacific War broke out three years later, the infantry squad leader of the United States could contact the division-level command with a single-soldier radio to request fire support.
That is the prototype of modern warfare.
At this time, Japan was just a military power in their imagination.
Therefore, the 2nd Infantry Regiment at this moment suffered the misfortune of underdeveloped communications. The communications soldier who was ordered to convey the commander's order to break out was accidentally killed, and the officers of the regiment headquarters were panicked that the commander was "accidentally" killed by them.
This delay was five minutes.
The battlefield situation changes rapidly, let alone five minutes, even one minute may change the fate.
After throwing 3,000 grenades, the six infantry companies on the main battlefield launched a charge. There were less than 300 Japanese infantrymen who could stand up from the grass and try their best to show the bravery of the Imperial Japanese Army.
More than half of the remaining seven or eight hundred Japanese soldiers were killed and maimed by the irregular but overwhelming grenades.
This should also be one of the rare examples in the history of the Sino-Japanese War where the victory or defeat was determined by grenades.
However, this example is almost unrepeatable.
First: The distance between the two warring parties must be close enough, so close that neither side dares to fire, and no matter who fires, it is a fight to the death;
Second: The troops have so many grenades, that is tens of thousands of grenades! In ordinary troops, that is almost half of the consumption of an infantry division.
Who has ever seen an infantry regiment throw 3,000 rounds in just a few dozen seconds? And the attack was only on a few hundred devils. If it were that unit, even if they wiped out all the devils, Tang Tuanzuo would be demoted to the kitchen squad for this huge loss!
But the Four-Line Regiment was not afraid, because they carried all the ammunition from thousands of miles away on their shoulders. The slogan of "more sweat in peacetime, less blood in war" was magically fulfilled at this moment.
More than 300 Japanese infantrymen holding rifles and looking ferocious and ready to fight to the death would definitely be a terrifying force in normal times. Even if ordinary troops had three times their strength, they would have to pay the same price.
This has been confirmed on several battlefields. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, which was forced to fight desperately, only increased and not decreased.
But now, these more than 300 Japanese soldiers are facing nearly a thousand elite soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment, and the officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment have no intention of playing hand-to-hand combat with them.
Each three-man team was led by a Type 38 rifle, and two soldiers holding continuous-fire firearms were on the flanks.
When they saw the khaki figure, the Mauser pistol and submachine gun immediately opened fire, not giving the Japanese infantry any chance to rush over.
I don’t know how many Japanese soldiers died in the reluctance of wailing that "the Chinese have no martial ethics".
Of course, in addition to the six infantry companies, the 300 recruits who participated in the bombing also followed into the battlefield!
The 300 recruits were the group with the largest casualties in this main battlefield except for the Japanese army. Because of their luck and reckless bombing posture, at least 50 recruits were hit by Japanese bullets, and the casualties were as high as more than 15%. Among them, there were even five or six people who hid in the trenches because of extreme fear and refused to follow the military order to bomb, and were killed on the spot by the old leader as a warning to others.
This was a situation that Tang Dao had anticipated before the recruits entered the battlefield. Any mercy on the battlefield would be a shackle on one's neck. Tang Dao gave the veterans the right to kill deserters on the spot, but there would be a special evaluation after the war to prevent the privilege from being abused by the veterans.
Iron-blooded means are naturally effective. After three hours of testing on the battlefield of blood and fire, the recruits have seen blood and experienced life and death, and their temperament is very different from before entering the battlefield.
Just like now being ordered to follow 6 infantry companies into the battlefield to search for hidden Japanese troops, the 250 recruits are no longer trembling like before, holding their guns in a proper manner, and even learning from the veterans, forming groups of three, with a distance of no more than 5 meters between each group, and patiently searching on the battlefield after the veterans have passed.
The veterans leading the team were more nervous than the new recruits at this time. They knew how terrible the Japanese wounded soldiers were. They would not only shoot secretly, but also quietly detonate grenades when you approached them.
"All corpses, first shoot them, then kill them!" The veterans shouted hoarsely to remind the surrounding new recruits.
Cheng Dagui was also in the search team.
Because he performed well in the previous bomb attack, the veterans appointed him as the leader of the combat team that had been divided in the class in the trench.
The combat rules of the Four-Line Regiment were that in the platoon and class battle, any officer must charge in front, which was the duty of the officer. The team leader was also an officer, so he was naturally the arrow of the three-person team. Two new recruits walked behind him with guns.
Because the Japanese army was completely crushed in terms of both manpower and firepower, the battle ended very quickly. The gunshots on the battlefield had gradually become sparse, and searching for Japanese wounded and hidden soldiers had become a battlefield situation.
Cheng Dagui's team has examined nearly 10 Japanese corpses, and they strictly followed the veteran's military order to shoot first and then knife, regardless of life or death.
Soon, he saw another khaki corpse, with its face up. Cheng Dagui pulled the bolt and was about to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes and looked at him, which frightened Cheng Dagui. Just as he was about to use force, he saw that the eyes were full of pleading. Although the pale face was dirty, the hair around the lips was still green. At most, he was only 18 or 19 years old, younger than the fellow villager who was hit by a bullet in the trench and cried for his mother but eventually died.
Cheng Dagui hesitated slightly, but saw the wounded Japanese soldier groping in his chest and took out a black and white photo. The photo showed a middle-aged woman with a bun and a gentle face. Although the young Japanese soldier did not speak, Cheng Dagui could understand his lip shape. Cheng Dagui felt soft-hearted for no reason.
He turned his head and looked at his two companions who were also hesitant, "What should I do?"
"Cheng Da Kui, what the hell are you doing?" An old soldier rushed over, glanced at the wounded Japanese soldiers, his face changed drastically, and suddenly opened his arms and threw three soldiers under his command to the ground: "Lie down!"
A faint blue smoke slowly emerged from under the young Japanese wounded soldiers.
The last thing Cheng Da Kui saw was that the dirty but young face showed a trace of strange satisfaction, and the eyes that were originally full of pleading were flashing with unwillingness.
"This is a group of beasts, a group of crazy beasts!" Cheng Da Kui buried his head and rumbled with this thought.
Although he threw bombs to kill the Japanese invaders like a madman, it was at a long distance after all. On the life and death line that was close at hand, the Chinese villagers who wanted revenge were kind after all.
But with the loud sound of "boom", the useless kindness was finally blown away by the Japanese grenade.
Kindness is for kind people, useless to the devils!
On the main battlefield, veterans killed cruelly, while new recruits grew up in the killing.
The Japanese regiment headquarters was in chaos because of the accidental death of its regiment commander.
The cavalry company on the Tang Dao side, after killing all the Japanese soldiers in sight, did not count the results of the battle, but drove their horses straight to the north.
There was a depression there, which could be used as a blocking position.
And that was also the only way for the Japanese army to escape to the north. If the Japanese army ran away early, perhaps the cavalry company would not have the opportunity to reach there at all, but now, there was enough time.
The cavalry company of the Four Lines Regiment was not only equipped with sabers and lances, they were lancers, and they carried light machine guns and mortars on a daily basis. This time, they were finally put to use.
The end of the 2nd Infantry Regiment has come completely.
