"Order! Two infantry squadrons as the third infantry brigade of the reserve force assembled to the corps; order! The corps supply squadron draws 200 people to the corps headquarters; order! The corps engineering franchise gathers to the corps headquarters; order! The corps engineer franchise 3rd squadron of the division will assemble to our corps headquarters; in addition, we telegraph the division headquarters that our 62nd infantry franchise has decided to fight to the death with the Chinese army here, and request the division artillery franchise to provide support. If it can severely damage the Chinese artillery position or the high ground guard opposite our corps, it will be of great help to our division's entry into China's first battle!" After the artillery fire was interrupted, Hengshanze, who stood up from the bunker, issued several military orders coldly.

All are military orders to gather troops. According to the normal assembly speed of the Japanese army, there will be more than 1,200 Japanese troops here in less than half an hour, which does not include nearly 200 Japanese troops that have basically been wiped out in artillery fire.

The 4 squad with 12 people left on the high ground and the 18-man guard squad who are rushing to the 209.1 Highlands are not aware that they are facing a terrible 40-1 military force comparison!

This may also set a new record on the Chinese battlefield. Relying on the strong enough firepower, the Japanese army, who have always fought with more and less, actually played the tactics of Annan people fighting American cowboys in the southwest jungle in the next few decades!

Of course, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that the Japanese artillery corps still have 40 artillery pieces, 36 75 mountain cannons and 4 105 howitzers. If these 40 artillery pieces are really aimed at the hill with a radius of only a few thousand square meters in size of 209.1.

Then let alone 30 infantrymen, even 300 are still dead!

However, Yokoyamazawa was obviously not stupid. Although he wanted to do this, he also knew that the division was not run by his family. He said he could fight as much as he wanted. Even if he was the commander of the division, Nagano Kameichiro also needed to make a balance, otherwise what would the other two colonels' team leader think?

Therefore, he put forward another opinion, asking the artillery corps to find the approximate area of ​​the Chinese artillery position, and use artillery to counter artillery. According to the firepower intensity of the Chinese just now, it will never exceed 10 mountain cannons.

Although this has exceeded his expectations, this little artillery still cannot confront the 40 artillery possessed by the division artillery corps.

If he could persuade Nagano Kameichiro to accept his tactical strategy and lose his artillery fire cover and he would use the human sea tactics again, he would not believe that he would not be able to eat this small mountain bag.

At this time, the sky was getting darker!

Even though Yokoyamazawa thought of chewing down the high ground in front of him, he still needed to wait for Nagano Kameichiro's reply, so he could only temporarily withdraw his troops and order the gathered squadrons to dig field trenches along the mountain to temporarily camp and wait for another battle tomorrow.

"Have the Chinese finally brought out their last trump card?" Under the lantern, Nagano Kameichiro looked at the telegram sent by Yokoyamazawa in front of him and fell into deep thought.

A battle seems to be just attacking and defending on the surface, relying on soldiers and equipment, but in fact there are many tricks in it.

For example, in the bloody battle today, the losses reported by the various units of the 21st Division reached more than a thousand people, which was equivalent to an infantry brigade withdrawing from the battle sequence.

This is only the first day, the loss is already so huge, and the losses in the next few days may be even greater. Just thinking about this will only lead to more casualties. Perhaps no matter how tough the commander is, he will feel frustrated.

But for Nagano Kamechiro, he was extremely calm!

It’s not that he is so awesome that he can’t take the casualties at all, but for a 21st Division that loses the commander of a division when he starts a war, what else can’t be lost?

If you want to save the honor of the division, there is only one way to go in the entire division, that is, to break through the enemy's defense line!

It can be said that Nagano Kameichiro is now considered a broken can and has a mentality of throwing apart. How many people die is really not the point he cares about the most.

Of course, the death and injury of more than a thousand people allowed him to see the trump card his opponent had. This is what really made him calm.

Yes, when he learned that his opponent was a four-line team, Nagano Kamechiro knew that it was an opponent that was definitely not that easy to deal with, especially if the opponent had enough mountain cannons.

If you want to defeat the Four Lines, it is not enough to rely on the human sea tactics to fight for consumption, and you must also eliminate the opponent's artillery.

During the whole day, whether it was the 83 infantry registrar on the main position or the 62 infantry registrar who had firm flanking attacks, they were actually just bait.

But it’s not temptation, but forcing the opponent to open their trump cards one by one!

As for the infantry who are destined to be on the death list, they are naturally just small soldiers on the chessboard. Even if it is eaten by people, as long as you can see the opponent's trump card clearly, it is worth it.

The words "kindness is not in charge of soldiers" and "one general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven" are not only applicable in China, but also in Japanese.

Small people are just numbers in the eyes of big people.

Now, although the trump card released by the Four Lines Group shocked him, both with large caliber and heavy force and many mountain cannons, he finally saw it.

The heavy destructive power of large caliber is enough to be terrifying, but a mere 3,000-meter range is destined to be a single type of gun to attack infantry, and it is impossible to threaten the enemy's gun group.

The only threatening thing is the mountain cannon that also has a range of 6,000 meters!

There is no shortcut to deal with such enemies, you can only kill them!

"Order the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Battalion of the Artillery Faction and its subordinate guards to move the position forward 1,800 meters to the southwest overnight. The 3rd Battalion and howitzer squadron are on standby on site!" Nagano Kamechiro, who had made up his mind, ordered.

The two brigades of the Artillery Corps moved forward 1,800 meters, and the distance from the front line of Niangziguan was less than 4,000 meters. In theory, it was within the range of the Chinese mountain cannons. But similarly, the Chinese artillery positions were also at the range of these 24 mountain cannons. When bombing with twice the firepower intensity, the Chinese would definitely suffer a great loss.

What's more, there are four 105 howitzers waiting for them at a distance of 6,000 meters away from the Chinese artillery.

This means that Nagano Kameichiro has accepted Yokoyamazawa's suggestion that 24 mountain cannons will become the support firepower for the human sea tactics at any time, and use this to lure out the general area of ​​the Chinese artillery position. The two sides determine the final direction of this offensive and defensive battle through artillery battles against bombing.

The two Japanese commanders were extremely scheming and decided on the direction of the battlefield the next day in this dark night, but China would not be led by them.

For example, in this dark night, according to the Japanese army's ideas, they showed such strong strength as the attacking side. Although the Chinese defended them strongly, at most they were just a stubborn resistance. It would be good to be able to defend their own one-acre and three-point land. What other ideas can they have?

But unfortunately, under the leadership of the Tang Tuanzu, the soldiers of the Four-Ring Army have never been the kind of troops that follow the rules.

In front of the main position, the Japanese army deployed barbed wire and arranged a large number of sentry patrols to block the possibility of infantry attacks, but this did not mean absolute safety.

The company-level commanders on the position actually forced the 60 they had in their hands to the top of the mountain. The range of 1,500 meters was enough to allow them to threaten all Japanese camps on the front line.

From time to time, a flare was shot into the sky from the dark wilderness, and then the figures of the Japanese sentry patrolling were clearly visible.

Then, a row of shells followed, splattering turf splattered in the afterglow of the flares, accompanied by a whine from the Japanese patrol.

When the Japanese army was angry and fired flares, trying to find these "gray rats" who dared to go down the mountain to lurk in front of their positions, they couldn't even see a ghost on the position, and maybe they caught another row of shells.

What made the Japanese army most painful was that the light that exploded from time to time and the shells lasted for so long, which was terrible, from 9 o'clock after night to 4 o'clock in the morning.

Although everyone knows that this is a harassment war played by China, this is a typical Mingjing. In this case, I ask who can sleep peacefully? Maybe when will a flare be placed in front of the trench where I camped, and then a row of shells fell on my head, I don’t know how to die.

There were nearly 10,000 infantry soldiers on the front line. On this autumn night with a slightly cold autumn wind, they all looked at the sky with big eyes open. Once a light flashed, they immediately ran away with their heads in their arms!

"The night gave me black eyes, but I used it to find light!"

The literal meaning of this poem seems to be tailor-made for the Japanese soldiers of the 21st Division, who stayed asleep all night and waited for dawn.

Of course, this purely harassing artillery bombardment was used for platoons in the main positions of the four regiments at night to consume more than 400 shells and more than 50 flares. The hidden vanguards on their own side were injured and killed by the Japanese army's gathering fire. The cost was considerable.

But the results of the battle are so many that the Four Lines cannot record, but the only thing that is certain is that nearly 10,000 Japanese troops on the front line can't think of having a good sleep tonight.

It was also the declassified documents of the Japanese North China Front Army after the war showed that on the night of September 9 of the Battle of Niangzi Pass, due to the continuous harassment of mortars by China, the two infantry regiments of 82 and 83 in front of them caused a tragedy of 34 deaths and 103 injuries.

But please note that these are only two infantry corpses, because the 62 infantry corps located on the flank is much more miserable than this.

The Chinese defenders located on the high ground did not just use mortars to harass them, but went down the mountain to fight back!

Because of the difficult and dangerous mountain roads, the 62 infantry registrar, which was eager to increase the speed of the march, was forced to leave a lot of supplies, including barbed wire and other materials that must be brought to the march, which also caused the Japanese army who were sleeping and camping in the mountains to lack the most necessary protection.

"Are you crazy? Squad Leader Tu, we two squads are just a few people together. Do you still have to go down the mountain to steal the Japanese?" The guard squad leader Zhou Dapeng almost popped out of his eyes.

As a veteran of the Northeast Army who participated in the Battle of Songjiang, Zhou Dapeng was definitely not a weak person, otherwise Li Jiujin would not have been personally selected as the squad leader of the 7th Company Guard Squad.

The Japanese army at the foot of the mountain obviously had used the 209.1 high ground as a breakthrough, and its gathering of troops was definitely more than hundreds of people. At this time, they would completely lose their terrain advantage. I just don’t know how to write the word "death".

"Hehe! Squad Leader Zhou, you, a veteran like you, think it's impossible, and the Japanese would think so even more. This is what the regiment said, unexpectedly!" Tu Yunsheng chuckled. "And, you also brought this big killing weapon this time and didn't let the Japanese taste it well. How could that work?"

"Yes! Squad Leader Zhou, this time the company commander asked you to bring these things, not to let the Japanese devils' cannons explode. As long as they dare to chase them, they will break their arms and legs! Oh, no, they are the only ones who have broken their sons!" Boss Cao stroked the anti-infantry thunder with his hands, looking obsessed.

The anti-infantry thunder made by the arsenal is really a fun thing, it is not big, it can be made by stuffing it into the grass. Once it steps on it, it will definitely be a wail!

"The people in your 4th squad are all crazy!" The guard squad leader looked at the old uncle who was almost dripping with his mouth when he was touching the anti-infantry. He could only roll his eyes helplessly.

Originally, the twenty anti-infantry thunders that Li Jiujin asked him to bring were buried about a hundred meters in front of the position at night to prevent the Japanese from sneak attacking.

Unexpectedly, the madmen in Class 4 were afraid of wasting them, so they planned to put these thunders in front of the Japanese camp.

"The leader of the regiment said that if you want to win this Patriotic War, you must be crazy. How can you stop nearly one million Japanese soldiers armed to the teeth if you are not crazy?" Tu Yunsheng shook his head gently, his eyes showed a deep pain, and he sighed softly. "If you are not crazy, how can you defend those dead brothers!"

In one sentence, the small anti-cannon hole suddenly became silent.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the day of September 9, compared with a Japanese infantry squadron that was annihilated by artillery fire, the losses of 4th squad were actually not great. One corporal machine gunner was killed and three soldiers were seriously injured, but in the end, there were still comrades who had been with him day and night left. This was the corner that all soldiers were most reluctant to touch.

"Okay! I agree with your attack tactics. I will let the MG34 machine gun firepower team take the battle position and provide fire cover for you, but you have to promise me that you will not fight in love. If you succeed, you will get out of here!" Zhou Dapeng took a deep breath and agreed.

"Don't worry, Squad Leader Zhou, I guarantee to complete the task!" Tu Yunsheng smiled and turned around and greeted: "Uncle Cao, go and call the horses and the others, bring the engineer shovels, just 50 bullets, bring me more grenades!"

September 10, 3 a.m.!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A Japanese infantry squadron camp broke out in a continuous fire!

"The Chinese have bombarded! Avoid bullets! Avoid bullets!" A Japanese captain wearing military trousers and a white shirt screamed wildly, directing his command.

Amid the explosion of fire, the figure of the Japanese captain with a commanding knife hanging around his waist was quite heroic. If it were placed in the movie, at least the second male lead.

But on the battlefield, it's too conspicuous.

"Bang!" A gunshot!

It was not conspicuous in the Japanese infantry field camp where the continuous explosions were happening, but a blood flower bloomed on the chest of the Japanese captain!

As the Japanese infantry captain looked at the incredible eyes on his chest, a blazing gunfire sounded.

It was spit out from four submachine guns and three semi-automatic rifles. Seven Chinese soldiers shot bullets at the Japanese army from a lurking point of 200 meters wide and nearly 50 meters wide.

There was no shelling, and the explosion that fell into the Japanese position was completely completed by Boss Cao, the human "grenade" alone.

Boss Cao, hiding behind a huge rock 60 meters away, placed 30 grenades with unscrewed covers next to him. At least three-fifths of the 48 grenades carried by the eight soldiers before departure were left by him. He threw one at an average of three seconds and followed the mortars at a speed that made the Japanese army feel like shelling.

The crazy rain of bullets from the 7-pin automatic firearm made the Japanese army finally know that they had been attacked by the enemy. Although the accidental death of the captain squadron captain made the Japanese army chaotic for two minutes, as a Japanese lieutenant captain took over the command, the Japanese army also returned to calm. While firing out flares to find the enemy's figure, the machine guns and grenade launchers also began to show their power.

Even dozens of Japanese infantry were scattered to the two wings, which was to surround the attackers.

At the same time, a Japanese camp two hundred meters away also woke up, and the noisy footsteps showed that they also began to rush towards their attacked colleagues.

The flares hit the air, illuminating the entire campsite, allowing the Chinese soldiers approaching dozens of meters to see the angry and distorted faces of the Japanese infantry without using a telescope.

They have such strong strength that there are even Chinese people who dare to come and attack the world, which is simply a shame for the Imperial Army.

Perhaps, not only did he think so, but Colonel Yokoyamazawa, who was awakened by the explosion more than 700 meters away, also thought so.

"Baga! Surround them and kill them all. I want to hang their bodies on the highest peak of Taihang Mountain so that all Chinese people can see it!" Hengshanze roared angrily.

After all, there were many Japanese soldiers. In addition to killing 18 people by grenades and dense rain of bullets in the air in panic, the remaining Japanese troops had more than 160 people. Hundreds of rifles and 6 light machine guns, the dense rain of bullets instantly gained the upper hand.
