Chapter 1228 Its a bunch of poop!

The first battle between four heavy artillery produced by Krupp Company in the Tongguan battlefield started at about 10 a.m.

Katayama Satoshi Nakasa carried the gun for more than two hours and was really tired. Not only did he order the entire army to rest for the third time, he ordered people to light a bonfire and burn hot water on the spot, intending to taste a bite of hot tea in this cold weather.

This action caused the Tang regiment in the mountains less than 700 meters away from him to finally find the fighter plane and immediately sent a message to the brigade commander Hu, "Discover the Japanese heavy artillery position and apply for 10 rounds of cover artillery!".

The heavy artillery company, which received high-standard treatment, has been looking forward to showing off its skills, immediately pushed the artillery out of the bunker and prepared for the shelling in just 10 minutes.

"Let your people stay away and don't be hurt by accident!" The reply from the brigade commander Hu was as warm as spring.

Those who don’t know thought Tang Dao was the son and nephew of the brigade commander Hu, but they didn’t know that Tang Dao’s current subordinates were all elite soldiers and generals under the brigade commander Hu. Brigade Commander Hu was really worried that Tang Dao, the big nerve, would take them all into the ditch.

"You Brigade Commander Hu specializes in generating electricity and care about you. You are so good at keeping away. Even if you watch the fun, don't be accidentally bombarded by your own cannon. I have to report to the top against my conscience that you were killed by the Japanese." Tang Dao roared and scolded the soldiers of the guard platoon who were too impatient to come forward with dozens of hundred meters.

Tang Tuanzuo has a telescope in his hand, but others don’t, so he can’t try to get closer to see the power of his heavy artillery?

When the soldiers were told by Tang's throne, they couldn't help but smile on their faces, but their bodies were very honest, and they retreated dozens of meters in the bushes.

The shells don’t have eyes. No matter whether you are a Japanese or a Chinese, kill them all!

They still have to thank their chiefs for their concern. The high-quality cannons produced by Krupp Company are indeed well-known. Even if they are separated by 13,000 meters, even if they are just test shots, they still accurately sent 4 shells to the depths of the mountainous area 5 kilometers away from the right wing of Fenglingdu Town.

But that precision, relatively speaking, at least two shells exploded 500 meters away from the target point.

The air waves formed by the explosion of the 40-kilogram shell destroyed all the trees and shrubs within a radius of 25 meters, and even the trunks of adult thighs that were 150 meters away from the explosion site were broken!

That is, 60 Chinese soldiers had already expected that not only would they plug their ears with cotton balls, but they would also hide behind the rocks and open their mouths. Otherwise, these two obviously target-oriented shells would make the Chinese soldiers who wanted to get some cheaper while watching the fun.

"I, Cao Teliang, these bastards are so unreliable. This is purely because Teliang is aimed at me!" Long Yan, who had eaten a mouthful of dust, spitting out the soil in his mouth wildly while cursing.

The Chinese soldiers were beaten up by their unreliable artillery, but the Sixth Infantry Regiment, which is the real target, was not so happy.

Many of them ate a mouthful of blood!

The two shots deviated from the coordinates, but in the end, there were still two shots less than 120 meters away from the rest area of ​​the Sixth Infantry Regiment!

The crazy air waves mixed with a large number of flying stones mercilessly hit the Japanese infantry who were crawling to the end and trying to hide from the sky by shells.

If you have a good life, you will scream in tears by gravel. If you have bad life, you can basically hum. If you have bad life, you will be even worse. If you have bad life, you will be directly rolled up from the ground and smashed onto the rock by the air waves and never have a chance to make a sound.

The 600 Japanese soldiers were panicked like a group of ducks who had encountered wild dogs, looking for hidden places on the hillside in a panic.

These people are basically veterans who have experienced more than a year of war. They all know that once this terrible cannon is turned on, it will never be done with just one or two cannons. After the test fire is over, it will only enter the real hell mode.

The veterans' judgment was fine, but these Japanese veterans probably didn't expect the Chinese artillery to have such accuracy, and they didn't expect that someone would send a telegram here to correct the bounce point.

Therefore, when the third round of artillery fire came, the shells basically landed on the hillside where the Japanese army was running wildly and hiding.

Tadayama Satoshi Nakasa was finally no longer so tired, because he was cut off half of his head by a flying shrapnel in the second round of artillery fire.

Until he died, he didn't understand why the heavy artillery from the Chinese were used to deal with his small infantry!

So there are so many reasons. This wave of shelling is actually just that Tang Tuanzu didn't understand what he wanted to do. Since he couldn't figure it out, he could only kill him.

The heavy artillery company is very honest. Since the chief officer said that it would cover ten rounds, it would be ten rounds. In less than 10 minutes, 40 shells hit the heads of more than 600 people in the poor Sixth Infantry Regiment.

To be honest, the Third Division has not seen the power of the 150MM howitzer, but it is mostly because of its own artillery efforts to fill the bullets, and the shells exploded and blossomed on the Chinese positions. They just felt the earthquake caused by heavy artillery shells seven or eight hundred meters away, and then rushed to the opponent's position to harvest their lives.

Once the division launches heavy artillery, it will basically be taken away in a wave, and almost no Chinese army can organize an effective counterattack after the shelling is over.

But now, when the heavy artillery exploded on the hillside where they were hiding, they finally realized that it was not that the Chinese army was not tenacious enough, but that the thing was too terrible. Even the body of steel would be melted under this blazing fire.

A shell fell down, hundreds of meters in a radius. Whether it is the human body, the plants, or the hard rocks, they all turned into powder!

And those who are a little farther away will never be said to be able to escape the summoning of the god of death. The surging waves of air can almost scrape the soil half a foot deep, and the human body curled up on the ground will be rolled out more than ten meters like a leaf.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The fragile human body cannot feel the violent collision with the ground. At the moment when the air waves swept, the hard leg bones could be broken by huge force, let alone the fragile cervical spine.

This is also the reason why many Japanese corpses present unconventional postures that the softest dancer in the world cannot do with all his strength.

Even if I was lucky enough to hide behind the rocks and were not hit by the air waves, the tremor from the earth could not be avoided by anyone.

In order to survive, experienced veterans often choose to stick their bodies close to the ground. Even if they know that this is dangerous, if they don’t do this, the terrible air wave will immediately kill them. This kind of multiple-choice question is easy to do.

Therefore, many Japanese soldiers who were not injured by shrapnel and air waves were intact, but they were spitting blood in big mouthfuls, and some even spit out black pieces, which should be shattered internal organs.

Those who experience it personally are like being in purgatory. Everyone is working hard to "lie down" to survive. It doesn't make much sense to struggle. Life has nothing to do with skills and tactics. Whether you can live depends entirely on God's will.

For the bystanders, such as Longyan, they have been shocked by the purgatory hundreds of meters away.

He has experienced two times when tens of thousands of troops were fighting against veterans on the battlefield. He has also seen the scene of artillery fire. More than ten days ago, the Japanese army also bombarded the Chinese positions with heavy artillery, but it was not until he was really close to the edge of death that he knew what the real power of heavy artillery was!

Even hundreds of meters away, the overflowing hot air waves can burn people's skin. The trembling earth seems to be able to shatter the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys in the body, which is beyond human control.

Even Long Yan, who had always been fearless, felt a little timid in his heart. What would he feel when one day in the future when he was going to face the heavy artillery of the Japanese army?

"I'm afraid of anyone!" Tang Dao on the side seemed to see the fear flashing in his eyes, patted his shoulder and whispered.

No matter how loud the sound is, no one can hear it at such a devastating moment. Now communication can only be done by looking at the mouth.

"But, compared to being blown to pieces, I am more afraid that my country will become a ranch for other people, and all the tribesmen will become cattle and sheep!" Tang Dao looked at the hell on earth created by his artillery soldiers, and said to himself with a calm expression.

When the last shell fell, the mountains and forests suddenly became a little quiet, as if only the sound of wood burning was left. Tang Dao took out the cotton tightly stuffed in his ears, stood up with his rifle, without saying a word, but just walked forward with big strides.

The soldiers who were stunned by the tragic battlefield ahead then reacted, raised their guns one after another, followed Tang Dao toward the battlefield.

In just ten minutes, the blazing gunfire followed by the cannon sounded again in the mountains.

However, the battle is much simpler than what the Chinese soldiers imagined.

There were nearly a hundred Japanese troops who could survive this shelling, but their spirit seemed to have been blown up by this terrifying shelling.

Their movements were mechanical and stiff. Many people even stood upright and roared at the woods. They shot them in the woods until they were swept by the submachine gun and fell down dejectedly.

There were no heavy machine guns, light machine guns, grenade launchers, and those things were basically blown up by this terrifying shelling.

There were only a group of Japanese infantry who were already in a state of despair and wounded. They were not opponents of 60 Chinese soldiers who were well prepared and had a super sniper commander.

Faced with this kind of bravery that was almost for free, Tang Dao's rifle was almost completely fired, and nearly 40 bullets were shot in less than 3 minutes, which almost meant that a small Japanese army in an infantry squad was killed at Tang Dao's muzzle.

The entire battle lasted less than 15 minutes and it ended completely!

The incomplete human bodies and parts of various weapons were scattered all over the hillside, and the final moans also dissipated in the mountain wind with dozens of cold gunshots.

The weapons and equipment that Chinese soldiers like to harvest the most have been abandoned by the soldiers, and they are interested in the military rations carried by the Japanese army.

All kinds of canned food have become their favorites. If there are no ready-made bags, then use military trousers stained with Japanese flesh and blood to pull them off the dead body. Styling the two trouser legs together is the best bag.

"This Sixth Infantry Regiment is worthy of being the main infantry regiment of the Third Division. He even brought a teapot when fighting?" Long Yan passed by a chubby Japanese corpse. He was surprised to see an exquisite small teapot falling into the mud pit. While complaining, he picked it up and used it as his own spoil.

Seeing that the fat Japanese army's body was still clean, he helped him take off his pants and make a new bag, throw it to Xia Dayu and let him carry a pile of iron cans.

The main reason was that Xia Dayu despised the Japanese military trousers that were too disgusting, and would rather be cold and take off his military uniform and cover him. At this moment, his face was so cold that he finally couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Longyan giving the steps, the little serviceman naturally accepted it.

The two Chinese soldiers may have never dreamed that they had picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons, and missed the biggest spoils of this battle - the second commander of the Sixth Infantry Regiment Satoshi Katayama.

This may also be the most successful disguise that Katayama has made in his life. The Chinese soldiers who simply cleaned the battlefield failed to find a Japanese commander with great importance, and the highest military rank he received was only a lieutenant.

"Baga! The Chinese are humiliating the Imperial Army naked, all of which are dead."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Fujita Min looked at the body of Katayama Satoshi wearing a loincloth and two thick and short legs, and slashed it with anger.

I almost chopped off Katayama's head, if the knife was 20 cm more!

But this knife seemed to have made Fujita feel a little more awake. He knew that the most imminent thing about his Third Division is no longer the little ants that come out to stab you from time to time, but the heavy artillery that the Chinese arrived.

That would be the biggest obstacle for him to launch his second strong attack on the river. If that shot goes on, even if he doesn't hit the wooden raft, the huge waves that stir up can overturn the wooden raft. In such weather, there is no big difference between the infantry falling into the water and being hit by shells.

"Order two brigade commanders and all corps commanders to the division headquarters. The Chinese have also developed heavy artillery. We need to formulate new tactics!" Fujita Jin turned around with a gloomy face and walked into the division headquarters.

In the next two days and nights, the size of the Japanese patrol team increased sharply, especially the auxiliary troops stationed in artillery, baggage, and field hospitals. Three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry were considered small.

The infantry garrison has reached the point where half of them sleep and half stand on duty. There are many secret whistles. In the original words of an infantry captain, "You must look at your feet every few steps, otherwise you will most likely step on an imperial soldier lying in the grass."

Fujita used the most primitive and effective sea of ​​people tactics to increase the number of people patrols at night to more than 6,000. This was the largest number of people used by a division-level unit during the entire war, no doubt.

With this intensity, not to mention that the Tang sword is either a god or a god, it is probably an ending where you can't get in and out.

The Japanese army also made a cruel decision, thousands of people stayed asleep all night, perhaps even if they were resting in the trenches, they still stared at each other with their guns, and waited for the arrival of the Chinese who had taken advantage of the situation a few days ago.

As long as you dare to come, even if you spit it, you can drown him.

But after two consecutive days, the night in Fenglingdu Town was quiet. The officers and soldiers of the Third Division, who were determined not to sleep, wanted to "flies" even if they didn't sleep, did not catch anything except drinking the northwest wind.

It was like a group of two fools who were infected with love Gu, waiting for their sweetheart to arrive, but their sweetheart had already eloped with other wild men and forgot about them at all.

Tang Dao escaped and led a group of soldiers carrying canned iron and slipped away more than ten kilometers away from Fenglingdu Town.

It’s really not that Tang Tuanzou can do it, and he knows that the Japanese would rather not sleep than fight him. It’s purely because Tang Dao believes that the heavy artillery has arrived, and that he still has little meaning to “flirt with the Japanese” in the mountains here.

The Japanese are not stupid, and they also have the idea of ​​making heavy artillery. It is better to go to the other side of the river to wait for the rabbit, and let the new recruits see the blood and know what the face-to-face battlefield is going on.

Therefore, Tang Dao slipped away quickly, and in order to prevent being discovered by the Japanese army, they ran to more than ten kilometers away from the Tongguan battlefield in one breath.

The mountain walls there are steep and the water flow is not suitable for large-scale crossing of rivers, but dozens of people can still do it.

Tang Dao also learned a trick from the Japanese, cutting wood to make wooden rafts, and then using a few sheepskin bubbles to tie it around to increase buoyancy. A simple wooden raft can ride ten people, and two fishermen's guides are used as boatmen. The problem of crossing the Yellow River, a thousand-meter-wide raft, is not very big.

Before leaving, Tang Dao also sent a secret telegram with Lu Sanjiang, who was in charge of the new recruits, asking him to bring only one of the most trustworthy guard platoons to the designated location to respond. He must not disclose any of them before leaving. The 28th Division must keep it confidential and must not disclose the news of his return.

Even when he crossed the river, Tang Dao confirmed with the flashlight that had flashed three times in a row and began to cross the river in batches.

Tang Dao did not trust several chief officials of the 28th Division, but was always extremely vigilant about the Japanese's penetration ability.

If a senior spy lurks in the 28th Division or the brigade or regiment headquarters, once the news of his return is leaked, the Japanese army will send motorboats to lurk everywhere on the river bank and wait for them to reach the heart of the river, and those waiting for him and 60 Chinese soldiers will definitely be a disaster.

Tang Dao's caution saved him and his soldiers. The frequent attacks launched by the Japanese army in the following days have shown that they were clear about the location of the Chinese heavy artillery position just like their own backyard. Except for someone leaked the information, there was no other possibility.

Then, all the personnel who might have known this news were investigated one by one by one in the 28th Division and the two brigades. In the end, all the suspects pointed to a colonel-level staff officer, who was a member of the senior military combat meeting organized by the 28th Division.

Two lieutenant generals were shocked and sweated coldly!

Tang Tuanzuo escaped with his men, but the Japanese didn't know that this intensity of defense lasted for a week until they were completely determined that the annoying flies would never come again, and the alert intensity was reduced by half.

All Japanese people, including Fujita Jin, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Although many people felt a little ashamed of this, compared to their life that could be in danger at any time, nothing was wrong with that little shame.

The Japanese army, who had escaped the haze, continued to move. While preparing for the next large-scale attack, they also played new tricks. That should be the inspiration found from where the Tang regiment was.
