Chapter 1131 Sacrifice!(1/2)
"It's time for the Imperial Warriors of the 62nd Infantry Regiment to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
Standing in front of three infantry squadrons lined up with white cloth wrapped around their chests, Hengshanze, with fleshy faces standing attentively, and then facing east, which was the direction of the island palace.
Kneel on both knees!
Nearly 600 Japanese infantry with stiff expressions followed their army colonels, all facing the palace and knelt on their knees!
Before the war, the farewell ceremony to His Majesty the Emperor was used in the history of the Japanese army and during the Russo-Japanese War when Nogiki organized 6,000 suicide squads.
But now, it is used by Yokoyamazawa on a small nameless high ground.
"Empire, martial arts are prosperous!" The Japanese Army Colonel, who had bowed to the palace, slowly stood up, swept over the 600 infantrymen in front of him, suddenly pulled out his command knife, and hissed.
"Empire, martial eternity prospers!" The Japanese infantry, stimulated by their colonel captain, couldn't help but raise the rifles in their hands high.
"Yo Xi! Everyone, please go out! Please ask you on the battlefield! This battle will definitely be defeated!" Yokoyamazawa nodded fiercely.
The Japanese army lined up, and their heavy military boots took heart-shaking steps and walked out of the valley. The 800-meter-long hill was the target of their 600 people.
This time, except for a baggage squadron and an engineer squadron as reserves for them, Yokoyamazawa almost put all the regular infantry in his hands into the battlefield at one time, and led the team with the senior staff officer of the corps headquarters, Major Ianta Ryu.
"In the morning light, I saw a row of warriors in military uniform running towards the enemy formation in the morning glow. Colonel Hengshanze held the sword and bowed his head to respectfully send the warriors under his command to the battlefield!
The imperial warrior with his head held high and his firm eyes commander, formed a magnificent picture in the sunset, and remained in my memory forever!
With such a group of warriors, how can we not be as brave as they shout to them, and the martial arts fortune will flourish?"
This is a passage written by the Asahi Shimbun reporters with the military reporter this morning by Nagano Kameichiro who was sent to the 62nd Infantry Regiment overnight.
He seemed to have completely forgotten that before the dawn, due to the night attack of Chinese soldiers, dozens of corpses were covered with white cloth and temporarily parked in the mountains and forests. The howlings of dozens of seriously injured soldiers made the night birds dare not return to their nests!
He seemed to have forgotten that in the small hill bag that was only 200 meters high, the battle day and night, the Japanese Army Colonel with a fierce face and a fierce look on his face and eyes lost more than 300 soldiers. Not to mention today, the current battle loss ratio has created a new record on the Sino-Japanese battlefield.
The battle loss ratio is 1 to 80!
However, no one will admit it, whether it is the Japanese or the Chinese Ministry of Military Affairs.
The former will never admit it even if you beat it to death; the latter will never believe it even if you beat it to death!
In fact, even Tang Dao was shocked when he received the results of Li Jiujin reporting in the morning. However, considering that there was a BUFF bonus from the Mountain Cannon Company, it was still acceptable.
Especially the tactic of Tu Yunsheng, the squad leader of the 4th squad, decisive night attacks and luring the Japanese army into the minefield and then using mortar shelling, was very talented.
"The whole regiment will be ordered to record the first-class military achievements of the 4th squad of the 7th Company of the Third Battalion. In addition, we will call on all the officers and soldiers of the regiment to learn from them!" Tang Dao also signed the second commendation order after the war between Niangzi Pass began in this morning.
The first commendation order was naturally issued to two scouts of Shen Laoliu, the reconnaissance company. Shen Laoliu, with the strength of two people, led a group of indigenous villages to wipe out a strengthened Japanese infantry squadron, creating a miracle in the history of war, and winning a personal special military merit once!
Fortunately, Shen Laoliu survived. In order to prevent him from being infected, the reconnaissance company specially asked the medical company to apply for three bottles of "penicillin" with expensive gold to send him. Under Tang Dao's instructions, he selected 30 box guns, 10 Huaji Submachine guns, 100,000 bullets, 500 grenades and 100 taels of gold to send him from the spare guns he carried.
The four regiments did not want to wipe out all the Japanese guns and ammunition seized by the Japanese army and let them deal with it themselves.
That almost means that as long as there are enough personnel, Yeyue Village can form a light infantry battalion itself, which means it lacks heavy weapons. With the help of geographical advantages, another Japanese infantry squadron will not be without the power of fighting.
"Squad Leader, brothers from Class 4, congratulations!" Zhou Dapeng, the guard squad leader, took the commendation order from the company's communications soldiers panting, and was so envious.
If the soldiers of the 4th squad were not afraid of alarming the Japanese army, they would probably be unable to help but shout.
"Brother Peng, although this military achievements are good, I am afraid that I will make a life and spend it without death!" Tu Yunsheng smiled bitterly with a four-fold telescope specially applied for by Zhou Dapeng from the company headquarters.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Dapeng was stunned and took the telescope handed over by Tu Yunsheng.
Then, he stood there on the spot.
In the telescope's vision, you can see the yellow figures of Japanese soldiers in the mountains, one after another, one after another...
"Dog Japanese are crazy! I heard that there are only one or two infantry squadrons on the main position. We are just a small broken place, so what about them doing such a big battle?" Zhou Dapeng could only use a slogan to hide his shock.
"No, we have to ask for help from the company headquarters, and at least two more squads are sent over. No, three squads!" Zhou Dapeng, who had scolded the Japanese, quickly reacted and was about to call for a communications soldier.
"It's useless, Brother Peng! Do you believe it or not? Today, not only us, but other Japanese troops will definitely invest in heavy troops. The company commander now has two squads, so we can't all take care of our place." Although Tu Yunsheng was very young, he was very independent and shook his head gently.
"And, before the Japanese attack, they will definitely cover our position with artillery fire. There are only two anti-aircraft holes in total. It is difficult for us to block 30 people. When the other brothers come, where can they hide?"
"What should I do? So many Japanese devils." Zhou Dapeng's face was full of bitterness.
What he just saw was no less than 300 Japanese troops, and perhaps there were more behind them. Not to mention how strong the Japanese army was, just this number, even the veteran who had experienced countless battlefields felt frightened.
"Fight first, at worst, you can fight with him!" Tu Yunsheng looked murderous. "If the Japanese army's offensive is tough, then we will put the Japanese army closer and attack, concentrate all submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles in the first trench, and then the brothers in the second-line trench dropped bullets and suppressed them! If the Japanese army could still rush into the trench, they could only use bayonets to fight hand-to-hand, leave communication soldiers to fight signal flares, and ask the company to find mountain cannon companies to cover the mountain positions."
"Okay! Just listen to you." Zhou Dapeng's eyes twitched wildly, but he could only grit his teeth and agree.
Now he finally knew why before he got on the position, the company commander Li Jiujin specifically told him that after arriving at the 209.1 Highland, he was the first commander of the squad leader Tu Yunsheng.
He was above Tu Yunsheng in terms of military rank and qualifications, but his ruthlessness was really not as good as the infantry squad leader who was half a year younger than him.
If this guy fails to die after the war, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be promoted to the sergeant, and he will even have the chance to become the second lieutenant platoon leader.
The Japanese artillery fire covering the high ground was much scarier than yesterday, which were 16 mountain cannons, plus 2 infantry cannons and 2 mortars!
Of course, it is not just the 209.1 Highland, but it should be that all the positions of the 7th Company are in a sea of fire.
The range of 12 75 mountain cannons from a Japanese artillery brigade that moved 1,800 meters southwest was just enough to reach this area.
However, these were all within Li Jiujin's expectations. When the 7th Company built a highland anti-aircraft artillery hole, it specially studied the possible areas of Japanese artillery, and built anti-aircraft artillery holes in areas that could avoid the Japanese artillery fire.
Anti-aircraft holes with sandbags and logs as main materials may not be able to prevent 105 howitzers, but they can still prevent 75MM mountain cannons, so in the 20-minute Japanese artillery preparation, casualties are not large.
But this time the Japanese army actually started to cooperate with infantry and artillery. On the high ground of the entire Seventh Company, more than 1,000 Japanese troops attacked upwards with artillery shells that fell from time to time on the hillside.
Especially on the 209.1 high ground, the Japanese army actually invested 4 waves, with a total of 300 infantry soldiers, densely packed like a group of locusts hiding in the smoke of gunpowders to attack upwards.
Amid the harsh iron whistle, soldiers from the high grounds of the 7th Company rushed into the trenches at the risk of being hit by shells, and the 60-strong teams of each platoon also began to fire the gun to support them at the risk of being smashed to pieces.
Because, in order to facilitate the acquisition of shells, the shell boxes are piled less than 15 meters away from the artillery team. Once detonated, no one can survive within 30 meters of the radius.
The three 80mm howitzers belonging to the Third Battalion also raised their guns high and began to provide fire support to the three important high grounds of the 7th Company.
For a time, Chinese mortars exploded on the hillside, and Japanese mountain cannons bombarded the life area at the top of the mountain. The dark blue and yellow figures of soldiers from both China and Japan appeared in the smoke of gunpowder.
In front of the 209.1 Highlands, when 30 soldiers rushed into their respective trenches, they could see that the distance between the Japanese troops was only 100 meters. It only takes 20 seconds for fully armed Japanese troops to rush into the position.
The soldiers could even clearly see the fierce gaze under the Japanese helmet.
Although the Japanese artillery slowed down its firing rate at this time, there were still many shells falling on the position. Although the soldiers had tried their best to hide their bodies in the trenches, there were still unfortunate soldiers who were hit by shrapnel or flew away by shock waves because the shells fell too close.
The MG34 machine gun firepower team is in a machine gun castle built in a highland that has been very hard-working. It is the most fierce firepower on the entire highland and must not be easily lost.
But this also means that the machine gun has a large number of dead corners. Although the MG34 machine gun has begun to roar, after more than a dozen casualties, the Japanese army quickly found an area to evade the machine gun shooting circle, and still rushed up in large numbers.
The Japanese light machine gunner, who was lying 200 meters away, was like he was desperate. He set up a light machine gun and fired it on the position, but he didn't just fire a bullet and then change the place.
Even though three consecutive machine gun shooters were shot into sieve by the MG34 heavy machine gun on the position, the remaining light machine guns were still roaring, and the attacks were like dust rising from the position where smoke was already full of gunpowder.
The gunfire on the position was awkward, and the Japanese infantry took the opportunity to rush forward for more than 20 meters.
The roar of "Onboard!" almost overwhelmed the blazing sound of gunfire.
Obviously, the Japanese army was so excited by their crazy commander that they were trying hard.
But it's not just them who are not afraid of death.
The soldiers of the Four Lines can also sacrifice their lives.
Tu Yunsheng widened his eyes and roared angrily: "Damn, shoot me and fuck him a little bitch."
After saying that, he put the MP28 submachine gun that had been hanging around his neck on the trench, pressing his shoulders tightly against the buttstock, trying his best to stabilize the muzzle that was about to jump constantly due to continuous shooting, and pull the trigger to shoot frantically.
Even if a shell exploded more than twenty meters behind him, and as the mud and stones were smashed down in the sky, his body trembled violently, and he could not stop pulling the trigger.
Blood oozed out from behind through his military uniform.
A soldier who was only three or four meters away from him turned his head and saw the blood on Tu Yunsheng's back. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Squad Leader, you are injured." He dropped his gun, took the first aid kit and rushed towards Tu Yunsheng.
"Get out, I'll count the Japanese who beat you! You've only killed three of you so far, and you're not even giving them enough guests. How can you invite me to dinner?" The crazy sergeant squad leader kicked the top soldier who was running over with his waist, staring at the battlefield without looking back, and shouting angrily.
"Squad Leader!" The soldier looked at Tu Yunsheng's blood flowing more and more, and the black and gray on his face was washed away by two tears.
"Why are you urinating? Get back. Get out of here." Tu Yunsheng's eyes were wide open like never before.
The soldier touched tears and rushed back to his position, pulled the trigger, fired, and shot desperately. The fear of the previous artillery fire seemed to be forgotten at that moment.
This is the battlefield. If you don’t fight desperately, you will die. Just bleed, that’s a ball!
The Japanese army braved the artillery fire.
The soldiers of the Four-Line Corps fired in the fire.
Whether on or outside the position, soldiers kept falling down, some were shot down by guns, and some were swept down by the air waves of artillery fire.
This tragic tragedy that was even beyond Li Jiujin's expectations lasted for nearly ten minutes.
The two armies with the strongest will in the battlefield in Jindong are competing. Whoever can't stand the casualties first and can't stand it, can only retreat.
What kind of firepower and artillery fire are no longer the most important thing, what is important is will.
When your comrades-in-arms fall in front of you with blood, you can still pick up your gun and shoot at your enemies until there is no idea where the gun or shell fragments fly from will send you on the way to follow your comrades. This rock-solid will cannot be trained by training, and only the battlefield can give it.
The Japanese have been so excited that they have forgotten their fear of death by the former colonel captain who bowed his head and gave him respectfully!
Become a tool person who is completely brainwashed!
But the Chinese are truly an iron army trained in the fierce war.
It’s not because I am not afraid of death, but because the country is destroyed and the mountains and rivers are there, and my friends are dead, so I am willing to accompany you!
