Therefore, on January 8, the Chinese and Japanese armies fought in full swing everywhere on the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line, which exceeded 150 miles.

According to the Japanese internal war report, on this day alone, the Japanese North China Front Army and the Westward Advance Corps invested an astonishing force of more than 150,000 troops to attack.

Putting aside the second-line auxiliary troops, including baggage troops, medical soldiers, engineers and other auxiliary troops, and reserve troops, the two Japanese troops almost put out their full strength.

But what is strange is that in the Sizhou Mountain Defense Zone, China and Japan are in peace and quiet.

The Chinese position seemed to be full of knives, and the Japanese infantry was 800 meters away, without crossing the line.

Of course, it was not that both sides stared at each other with big eyes and looked at who was bigger across hundreds of meters away. The Japanese infantry still tried their best to shoot.

The battle report of the Western Turkish detachment of the 4th Division, during the day on January 9, the Western Turkish detachment spent 150,000 machine rifle bullets, 300 various shells, injured 138 people and killed 1 person!

If we calculate based on the more than 3,000 infantry soldiers of an infantry corps deployed by the detachment, each infantry fires about 40 bullets, and each 36 heavy machine gun consumes an average of 800 ammunition per one, which is considered a normal level for a day of fierce fighting.

That is, 138 people were injured, and the number of one person was far lower than the other Japanese troops. Compared with the casualties of more than 500 people in the Nakamura Detachment in Zhangjiashan, the number of deaths of one person can be completely negligible.

If Masao Nakamura had the chance to see the injury report of the Xitu Detachment on that day, he would probably be so angry that he could ascend to heaven on the spot.

Those wounded were injured, but it seemed to have little to do with the battlefield.

For example, some people accidentally sprained their ankle when walking in a trench, some people slipped their feet when they moved the bullet box, or they were not wearing a steel helmet and were hit by the gravel blown by Chinese mortars. The most outrageous thing is that the two Japanese soldiers went outside the position to facilitate their positions. Because of their shy temperament, the woods they went to were a little deeper, and their butts were bitten by poisonous insects, and their butts were swollen than their faces.

The point is that there are notes. The swollen skin is covered with red envelopes, and anyone who sees it will get numb to the scalp!

Is there a possibility that those two guys go deep into the forest to not poop, but are looking for poisonous insects? Otherwise, the poisonous insects that come from the cold winter are raging, are you a gang of major generals and lieutenant generals illiterate or idiot?

The key is that none of the more than 100 injured people cried and cried, but they were all smiling. Perhaps because they were injured and bloody, they were also loyal to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor!

The only regret is that they can't go to the battlefield for at least a few days!

And the only guy who died was quite scary.

As a famous "Tiehanhan" in the Western Turkish Detachment, Major Sima Momotaro, the captain of the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the 37th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Division, is an alternative to the 4th Division. He has a strong and brave personality. He likes to take off his outer uniform and expose a tuft of chest hair on his chest during combat. He will wear a "menstrual belt" on his head every battle, even if it is the cold winter.

This may be one of the reasons why he has been in the 4th Division for 18 years and is still an Army Major!

The 4th Division values ​​mind rather than recklessness. This is also the unique temperament of the 4th Division that is different from other divisions.

The same is true this time. Although the detachment and the corps headquarters issued strict orders to not attack rashly, and in the weather of minus five or six degrees below the peak, the major's face was already as cold as possible, in order to show his bravery, Tie Hanhan still took off his woolen coat, wrapped his "menstrual belt" in his head with only a white shirt, and shouted loudly in the trenches in the trenches.

The general idea is: 800 meters of distance cannot stop the accurate shooting skills of my imperial warriors. Baga aims at me, and Chinese people can still be killed or injured!

What a good guy, Amaterasu doesn’t dare to dream like this!

But if you can't shoot correctly, you can't pretend to shoot accurately? With the encouragement of this person, the Japanese infantry of the 3rd Infantry Brigade of the 37th Infantry Corps were much more enthusiastic than those of other infantry brigades.

This naturally attracted the attention of the Tang regiments who were observing the movements of the Japanese army on the high ground.

At this time, the sun was just right, Sima Momotaro, who was holding a telescope in his hand and looking at the Chinese position, was completely unaware that the reflection of the telescope lens was as bright as the North Star in the night sky.

"Huh? This Japanese guy is OK! There is also a telescope!" The bloodline of the super sniper churned again in Tang Tuanzha's body.

Half a month ago, he kept attacking the Third Division at night in Fenglingdu Town. Although it was very dangerous and hard, for Tang Governor, who was born as a special forces soldier, he found a long-lost sense of familiarity.

He is no longer the one holding the knife, but a steel knife stabbing the enemy, and the enemy is killed!

After estimating the distance, Tang Dao shouted to Long Yan: "Get me a Czech light machine gun!"

The Mosinnagan rifle commonly used by Tang Dao is carried by Xia Dayu. Even at hand, in terms of its ballistics, even if it is estimated that the farthest can be estimated to be 600 meters to 700 meters, which is not as easy as the Czech light machine gun with a longer range and a straighter ballistic.

Tied the scope to the Czech light machine gun, Tang Dao tried to aim at the position where the bright reflection flashed, which made Long Yan confused.

800 meters! That's a distance between several hills. Are you serious, sir?

Anyway, this is completely beyond Longyan's perception of shooting. In the past, the one who could hit wild wolves and boars in Yeyue Village was the sharpshooter.

The simple firearms and a long enough distance made Tang Dao finally "missed".

After spanning 800 meters, the 7.92-caliber bullet did not shoot the head as usual, but hit the area of ​​the chest hair exposed in its clothes. The bullet whose kinetic energy had begun to decay broke through the hard sternum and began to turn and deform, directly tearing the cardiac artery.

Major Sima Momotaro did not persist in going to the field hospital and died on the stretcher.

"This must be the Chinese who lurked out of the position, otherwise how could there be a sharpshooter of this level?" Yukiosuke Okuba, who died in battle after receiving the death of the captain-level officer under his command, almost jumped up in anger.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Let the artillery cover the area 400 meters in front of our position, and I want to make the brave Chinese unable to come and go!"

Yes, what made Yukinosuke angry was not the death of an army major, but the Chinese were too overdoing it. I didn’t even beat you much, so why did you dare to run down and hit me?

Typical losses are not very large, but self-esteem cannot bear it.

This is also the reason why the Western Turkish detachment of the 4th Division did not bombard the fiercely on the 8th but still consumed more than 300 shells.

A army chief who was not favored by his boss died in battle. His boss used 300 shells as firecrackers to see him off, which was very interesting.

Thanks to Tang Dao using 5,000 people to block the main force of nearly 10,000 Japanese troops, the 4th Army alone resisted the 20,000 troops in Nakamura Masao's hands was much stronger than expected.

After the three infantry regiments of the 55th Division lost more than 2,000 people, the 17th Division's infantry regiment and the 55th Division's reserved infantry regiment were all rotated, giving the three damaged infantry regiments a chance to breathe for most of the day.

Masao Nakamura organized three rounds of large-scale attacks, all of which were taken down by two infantry divisions of the 38th Army.

The weaker 96th Army responded to less than 5,000 Japanese troops, and the pressure was much smaller. Although the entire defense line was in danger several times, it was still firmly under control in the hands of China.

Masao Nakamura was not in a hurry to achieve success. There was a whole army in front of him. What he had to do now was to strip away China's defensive power layer by layer like peeling an onion. What he consumed was mainly ammunition, while the Chinese consumed life.

If China continues to fight like this, sooner or later, its confidence will collapse due to the continued increase in war losses.

As a representative figure of the Japanese academic faction, Masao Nakamura was sure of a law that almost no unit in this world could persist after the battle loss rate reached 40%.

There may be such troops, but they are definitely not in China, otherwise they would not have been completely defeated on both the East and North China fronts.

To put it bluntly, Masao Nakamura is not playing a conspiracy now, but a pure conspiracy, using ammunition reserves to exchange for the lives of Chinese soldiers, and it depends on who can last until the end.

It seems simple, but it is extremely effective, because it also involves judgment and understanding of human nature.

Not everyone is a hero. As long as you are a human being, you will nostalgic for the world and do not want to fall into the abyss of cold death.

Moreover, Masao Nakamura did not engage in the most commonly used system of sending small troops to intersperse behind enemy lines to harass him. He wanted to use sufficient firepower and sufficient troops to continuously oppress and consume the opponent, causing the opponent to collapse and retreat.

The Yellow River behind Zhongtiao Mountain is a dead end and a life path.

He believed that compared with bullets and bayonets, Chinese soldiers were more willing to choose the cold surging river, after all, there was a possibility of 1 in 10,000 survival.

If nothing unexpected happens, when the North China Front Army's land aircraft fleet comes to help four days later, it will be the moment when he launches a full-scale attack, and then he will complete his efforts in one battle!

The white-haired general in Monan Town has also frowned in the past two days. It was not that the long list of casualties made the iron-blooded general anxious, but that the Japanese general's tactic of slowly tightening the ropes made him unable to show his appearance.

In just two days, the Japanese army had already shown enough firepower. Not only was he forced to take out the reserve team, the 16 mountain artillery pieces of the mountain artillery battalion of the 17th Division and the infantry artillery companies of various brigades had to be put into artillery fire counterattack.

Apart from the surprise troops of the Four Lines Group that had not yet arrived, there were very few trump cards left in his hand.

However, the Japanese fighter jets had not yet participated in the war, the 105 howitzers had not appeared, and the two infantry regiments also took turns to attack.

This is like a competition between two martial arts masters. One of them has already shown 90% of their strength, but the other party is still at ease and has not even pulled out the sword.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable for any commander.

But this is the gap between China and Japan. One side can build aircraft, tanks and giant ships, while the other side can produce mortars, which is enough to raise your hand to celebrate.

The white-haired general couldn't think of any effective response. The only thing he could do was to persevere!

Until the day when 20,000 people from the 38th Army two divisions persisted until they were no longer afraid of the cold.

Perhaps his biggest advantage against Masao Nakamura is that he believes that his subordinates can maintain their combat effectiveness after the battle loss rate reaches 50%.

Masao Nakamura is an excellent commander, but he still doesn't know much about his opponents.

The Chinese should be a very special nation in this world. They are wise, kind, and endure. Even if you steal all the rice from his bowl, they will swallow this temporarily and can comfort me with words like "take a step back and broad the sky and the sky." But if you not only snatch the rice but also smash the bowl, then...

Then they will really fight to the death!

There were Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in ancient times, there was the Patriotic War today, and there was the Battle of Snow Field in the future!

Chinese people are not rabbits that bite people if they are anxious. They are dragons. If the scales move, they will shock the earth!

Compared with the fierce wars in the Zhongtiao Mountain War Zone, the Taihang Mountains in southeastern Shanxi seem much calmer.

Since the Japanese army used 9 armies to encircle and suppress the enemy in May and were crushed, the Japanese army has been far more defense than attacking the Taihang Mountains in southeastern Shanxi.

Even if we gathered 80,000 troops to march into Taihang Mountain this time, we would no longer be as arrogant as before. Several large counties such as Shecheng, Lixian, and Changzhi all stationed an infantry corps, leaving 5 infantry corps and 30,000 other troops behind alone.

There are only 50,000 people who can enter the Taihang Mountains, but this is still an extremely huge number.

The 80th Army, whose headquarters is still in the Taihang Mountains, was released this time. The headquarters guard regiment, the guard battalion directly under the 921st Division, the supplementary regiment, the new regiment, the 683rd Brigade, more than 20,000 people were in charge of four infantry regiments, as well as the gathered local armed brigades, and a total of more than 40,000 militias were stationed in the high grounds of various important roads.

The four-way regiment had two infantry battalions and artillery units, and the baggage troops had to be divided into two groups under the leadership of Lei Xiong and Ye Chenghuan, blocking nearly 8,000 infantry brigades approaching the 109th Division.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! But at this time, there was a Japanese army composed of two infantry brigades, cavalry, artillery, and baggage troops, similar to a small mixed brigade, which was about 4,500 troops. It quietly lurked along the mountain path towards Dakouzidong Town.

This is one of two contingents composed of the 18th Division drawn elite troops. Its main purpose is to attack its base in Dakouzidong Town when the main force of the Four Army Corps attacks.

The tactical purpose of this task force is to destroy the war potential of the Four Lines.

The Japanese intelligence agencies were not vegetarians. In the past few months, they paid great attention to the Sihang Regiment and carried out large-scale intelligence infiltration into the Taihang Mountains. Although they failed to obtain core intelligence, they finally found that the Sihang Regiment had a large-scale arsenal, which could produce rifles, machine guns and various types of ammunition.

Especially after conquering Shimen in the Battle of East Jin, a large amount of machine tools and steel were obtained, and it is not ruled out that artillery can be produced in the future.

That's not bad. The Four Lines Regiment is now so powerful. If it still has enough military production capacity and its troops are expanded, let alone a brigade, even a division may not be their opponent.

The Japanese North China Front Army will never tolerate a great enemy continuing to thrive, and no matter how you say it, it will be strangled into the cradle.

This New Year's Day offensive led by the Japanese Army Base Camp has a total of one strategic purpose and three tactical purposes. The strategic purpose is naturally to march into Guanzhong and use it as a springboard to march southwest China. The war potential of destroying the Four Rangers is one of the three tactical purposes.

The other two are: one is to solve the enemy in Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi, and the other is to find another headquarters of the 80th Army who is intimately ill and destroy it.
