Rise From Eight Hundred

Not to mention that Nobita Nobi was thinking about how to save his life, watching the Type 89 main battle tank being turned into a big torch, the most panicked ones should be the last two Type 94 tanks still on the hillside.

Seeing them facing the mountain directly and running down the mountain at full speed, you can imagine the panic of these Japanese armored soldiers who are still alive.

The Type 94 is flexible, but that is compared to a behemoth like a tank. When they turned their heads regardless and aimed the rear of the car at the two anti-tank guns that were becoming more and more handy, it was like a hunter seeing a wild boar with a broken leg.

Moreover, there was no firepower on the battlefield at this time that could threaten them. The rain of bullets from the light and heavy machine guns behind the Japanese army was ruthlessly blocked by sandbags. Even if there were bullets passing through the specially reserved shooting holes, they would be blocked by the steel shield equipped by the anti-tank gun itself.

Guns can never defeat cannons. This is the battlefield characteristic of this era.

Anti-tank guns can fire without scruples!

Two guns fired at a Type 94 tank, each firing about 10 shots, chasing the two Type 94 tanks to more than 800 meters away from the position.

That was perhaps the most embarrassing moment for the Japanese armored troops after arriving at the Chinese battlefield. They were like quails running away. They had no power to resist during the whole process, and only one word "escape" came first.

"Shame!" These should be the two words that appeared most frequently in the hearts of all the Japanese infantrymen who still insisted on lying on the hillside.

However, these two words may not be enough to describe the performance of the Japanese armored troops in this battle.

Losing the Type 89 tank with a tank gun, the two Type 94 tanks were no match for the anti-tank gun. For the reason of preserving the imperial heavy weapon, it was reasonable to retreat.

Besides, whether it is shameful or not, only the living can feel it.

Surviving the battlefield is a kind of success.

Unfortunately, they couldn't escape.

The first Type 94 tank that was hit by the shell and fell on the hillside like a drunkard only ran 150 meters.

So, the two anti-tank guns focused their fire on the last clever little ghost.

Relying on flexible positioning, the Type 94 tank, which was retreating frantically, even ran past the infantry artillery position that had just been ravaged by mortars.

But its good luck ended there.

Two shells hit the rear of the tank one after another, and visible flames burned from the engine position. The Type 94, whose speed dropped sharply in an instant, barely ran forward for more than ten meters and stopped. Two shells whizzed in again, hitting the unlucky child who was about to enter the mountains and completely out of the sight of the artillery.

The black smoke and flames rose again, like a bonfire, burning in front of the Japanese front-line command.

No armored soldiers tried to escape from the tank, because when the second wave of shells hit the tank, the high temperature formed by the friction of the tungsten core shells penetrating the steel plate had killed them inside the tank.

The morale of the Japanese infantry on the hillside fell directly to the bottom.

The two infantry squads at the front, who claimed to be determined to fight to the death, lay on the hillside and had no intention of climbing up. They could still keep firing at the Chinese soldiers on the position, which was their last limit.

Until ten minutes later, the Japanese army in the rear finally sounded the hand-cranked alarm.

Seeing the Japanese army retreating like a tide, the Chinese soldiers on the mountain also breathed a sigh of relief and did not pursue the victory for the first time.

In fact, they were almost at the end of their rope.

It was not because of the casualties, but the unprecedented crazy consumption of ammunition reserves. Even though they knew that it would be replenished three times after the war, the infantry company commanders on the front line were heartbroken.

However, the Japanese retreated, and they could not sit on the Diaoyutai on the position. They had to use this rare time to send the wounded and the remains of the sacrificed soldiers to the back of the mountain.

So, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield.

The two armies, who were still fighting bloody just now, put down their guns and carried their own wounded and remains, but one went down the mountain and the other went up the mountain.

For more than ten minutes, there was no gunshot, and even the imagined Japanese artillery fire did not come again.

Of course, both sides knew that this calm was only temporary.

It is always the quietest before the storm.

Nobi Nobita also received a strict order from Goto Koshiminami, which cut off his last hope.

If he wanted to survive, he had to break through the Chinese position in front of him, otherwise he would die on the front line.

Although he was not directly under the command of Goto Koshiminami, the commander of the 108th Infantry Regiment, and a major leftist did not have the right to execute a minor leftist, Nobi Nobita knew that if he did not fight well, the army major leftist of the 108th Division, who was famous for his cruelty, would definitely do it.

Because this battle is different from the past, there are more than 2,500 imperial officers and soldiers and huge supplies that urgently need this army to rescue. If a big hat is put on him for the failure of the rescue due to poor combat, not only can he, a young leftist, not be able to bear it, even the lieutenant general division commander can't bear it. He has to pay for this defeat with his head. If he doesn't handle it well, the division commander will clap his hands in the back.

However, Nobi Nobita is not willing to be a victim of the anger of a certain leftist. After receiving the military order of "failure, death!", he immediately requested Goto Koshiminami: "The front-line infantry is insufficient, requesting 1 to 2 more infantry squadrons to reinforce, otherwise, I will ask for the battle from His Excellency Kudo Daisa, and personally serve as the captain of the death squad, leading the team to charge at the forefront of the entire army!"

This is a request, and it also has a hint of threat.

Kudo Daisa is the commander of the 103rd Infantry Regiment, Nobi Nobita's immediate superior. Nobi Nobita means that as long as you don't give me enough troops and want me to fight this battle, then I will report to my immediate superior and become the captain of the death squad. If I die, it will be you, a bastard, who forced me to death.

The command structure of the 108th Division is like this. The Lieutenant General Shimokumamoto is naturally the well-deserved boss. He also has a Chief of Staff Dazuo and two Major General Brigade Commanders. Then there are four Dazuo Infantry Regiment Commanders and four Dazuo Regiment Commanders of Cavalry, Artillery, Engineering, and Logistics. These 12 people are basically the top structure of the 108th Division.

Maybe Goto Koshinan has the support of Shimokumamoto and is not afraid of his colleagues of the same level, but on the battlefield, he forced the young left captain of the 1st Battalion of the 103rd Infantry Regiment who was temporarily assigned to his command to death. This reputation is definitely notorious. Once it is publicized, who will "play" with him in the future?

Do they have reason to believe that their subordinates will be sent to the front line as cannon fodder when they cooperate with his 108th Infantry Regiment?

And more importantly, can Shimokumamoto still support an infantry regiment captain who is collectively excluded by everyone as before?

The answer is also obvious.

After receiving the request from Nobi Nobita who was desperate, Goto Koshinan's face was livid, but he could do nothing.

A young left captain in the army is not afraid of death, so how could he care about him, a big left? He believed that as long as no reinforcements were sent, that guy would definitely send a telegram to the 103rd Infantry Regiment headquarters which was still dozens of kilometers away.

But, he is not Amaterasu, who can just conjure up a bunch of soldiers?

As a front-line commander, Nobita Nobi has commanded three infantry squadrons with nearly 600 people, while he has only 1,500 people in total. It sounds like a lot, but that is the strength of infantry, artillery, armored troops, cavalry, and baggage troops.

The total number of infantry that can directly approach the front line is no more than a thousand.

"Baga! A bunch of idiots from the 103rd Regiment!" Goto Koshiminami couldn't help but roar when he thought of this.

If it weren't for Komura Hiro who took away three infantry squadrons and met the Chinese on a narrow road and suffered a disastrous defeat, why would he be like this?

He wanted Komura Hiro to return to the team with the remaining remnants, but when he heard his casualty report, more than 200 were killed in battle, more than 200 were injured, and even because of the arrival of Chinese reinforcements, most of the remains were not taken away in time...

Goto Koshiminami knew that there was no need for that.

A pile of corpses and wounded soldiers arrived, and the already low morale would be greatly reduced. Moreover, can you expect a group of soldiers who just returned from a great defeat to charge again?

In short, it was the idiots of the 103rd Infantry Regiment who put him, the army's great left, in a dilemma, and now they are threatening him.

It is impossible not to send reinforcements. In the previous battle, the armored squadron suffered the most losses. The captain, along with a Type 89 tank and four Type 94 tanks, were destroyed by the Chinese, but the front-line infantry also lost nearly a hundred.

And that was just the second round of attack!

Rubbing his aching forehead, Goto Koshiminami finally made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life: "Order, the third squad of the baggage soldiers, the second and third squads of the regiment guard squadron, support the front line."

The so-called regiment guard squadron is similar to the function of the guard company of the Chinese infantry regiment. The guard squadron of the 108th Infantry Regiment can follow Goto Koshiminami, the commander of the left regiment, and is naturally the guard squadron of the 108th Infantry Regiment. It is also the only direct unit under Goto Koshiminami's command, and its combat effectiveness is obviously the strongest.

The third squad of the baggage soldiers, although the rank is not high, has a large number of people, as many as 200 people. Originally, this march was responsible for transporting important baggage such as food and ammunition to the army. Unexpectedly, they had to serve as engineers for the artillery, and they had to pick up guns and directly participate in the front-line combat. When receiving this military order, it is estimated that many Japanese baggage soldiers were crazy in their hearts.

This military order caused the Japanese front-line infantry to increase sharply to 800 people, which is basically 1 to 1.5 compared with the current two infantry battalions of the 769th Regiment. If the firepower, geographical advantages, and technical and tactical levels are taken into account, the combat effectiveness of both sides is actually at about the same level.

After all, although the Japanese army lost four infantry guns and five tanks, it still has 8 guns and 7 tanks, as well as nearly ten heavy machine guns, and its firepower still occupies an absolute advantage.

No, in addition to this, the crazy Nobi Nobita also took out a rarely used artillery-94-type 90-caliber mortar.

Yes, you heard it right, the Japanese army is also equipped with mortars, which is not the patent of the Chinese army.

It's just that the Japanese army rarely uses it.

The reason is very simple. This thing is too tasteless for the Japanese army.

For short-range, the Japanese infantry squadron is equipped with a 50-caliber grenade launcher with an effective range of 500 meters, which can basically meet all needs within the 500-meter range; for long-range, the Japanese infantry battalion is equipped with a 92-caliber infantry gun, which can be used as a direct-aiming cannon or as a curved-fire gun similar to a howitzer, with a range of more than 3,000 meters, which is very convenient.

Then, what is the use of mortars?

Looking at the two bulky mortars set up by the battalion's direct artillery squad, Nobita Nobi couldn't help but jump the veins on his left forehead.

That's right. Compared with the 82-caliber mortars weighing more than 60 kilograms that the Chinese army is equipped with in large quantities, the Japanese 94-caliber 90-caliber mortars are awesome just from the caliber.

But... Japan's excellent military engineers are brain dead again.

The 94-caliber mortar with a total weight of 175 kilograms is really too heavy, and it is almost as heavy as the 92 infantry gun. Although the power of the 2.6-kilogram projectile is much greater than that of the Chinese army's 82-caliber mortar, the range of 3,800 meters is also far.

But the Japanese army, which is in an offensive posture, needs more offensive capabilities. This mortar with limited destructive power against fixed fortifications is used to shoot against the Chinese army's mortars to see who shoots more accurately and who is more powerful?

Although the Chinese army's 82-caliber mortar is less powerful, its 60-kilogram weight allows four soldiers to carry the gun and run away, while the 94-caliber mortar needs at least a dozen artillerymen to serve, and the mobility of the two is completely not on the same level.

Therefore, the Japanese infantry regiment only gave face to the military factory and symbolically equipped six guns, basically two guns for each infantry battalion.

However, the Japanese infantry battalion would not use such useless artillery unless it was a critical moment.

But now, it is obviously a critical moment.

Nobi Daxiong gritted his teeth and ordered his direct artillery squad to unseal the two large mortars that had been sealed.

This means that China still has to bear the threat of two mortars from the Japanese side.

The power of mortars in fortifications may not be good, but because of its parabolic artillery curve, the back of the mountain is no longer a position that is difficult for Japanese artillery to attack. This is also the reason why Nobi Daxiong ordered the use of this artillery that he originally looked down on.

Therefore, in the third round of attack organized by the Japanese army, two Type 94 mortars secretly participated in the battle.

Five minutes after the Chinese mortar positions opened fire to suppress the attacking Japanese infantry group, two 94 mortars launched a sneak attack based on the impact points of the front-line positions and the location of the smoke behind the mountain.

Not to mention, when several shells fell directly behind the mountain, the flying shrapnel even swept down several people in a stretcher team, and the entire Chinese soldiers behind the mountain were knocked down by the sudden artillery fire.

The two mortars continued to fire, including the mortar positions 400 meters away from the front-line positions, which were forced to move and did not support the front line for more than 5 minutes.

There were more than 60 shells on the entire artillery position. Once detonated, the consequences would be disastrous.

Judging from the actual combat effect on the scene, using mortars against mortars is absolutely effective.

Because of the firing range, the two mortar positions were less than 80 meters away from Nobi Nobita's front-line command post.

Although he was satisfied with the performance of the two guns he was forced to use, as time went by, Nobi Nobita always felt a strong sense of insecurity.

The Chinese seem to have more mortars than us! This, won't we be beaten to a pulp again in a while!

Two guns, really, look too shabby.

Nobi Nobita had never hated his crow brain so much. This thought of being outnumbered only flashed through his mind, but soon became a reality.

On the top of the opposite mountain, there was an old gunner who was famous in the entire 921st Division. After the Japanese mortar opened fire, Li Daxi held a telescope and kept looking for the location of the Japanese mortar position.

Ordinary artillery is usually thousands or even thousands of meters away. It is impossible to find it with the naked eye, but for the sake of accuracy, the Japanese placed the mortar position too far forward, even with the cover of small hills and woods.

The rising clouds of gunpowder are the best mark.

In order to ensure a fatal blow, Li Daxi spent a long time gesturing before determining the firing angle, firing distance and other data, and asked the eight mortars to fire four rounds at once.

That was 32 shells, accounting for half of all the current shells in stock. After this round, the remaining shells would be enough to support until the evening at most.

But Li Daxi did it without hesitation. He dared to be so extravagant because he knew that a local tyrant army was rushing towards this side, and when they arrived, there would be shells again.

So, a bunch of shells came whistling.

Baka! Bullying the few with the many... Nobi Nobita, who was almost accidentally injured by a shell that flew over with a low accuracy, hid in the bunker. This time, he didn't want to bleed, but was a little aggrieved and angry, and his eyes turned red.

When has the Imperial Japanese Army ever been bullied like this? It's like a young widow encountering a bunch of hooligans!
