Chapter 1268: Total ambitions are unfulfilled!

The 3,000 small men from the 4th Division did not actually gain the reputation of the Japanese permanent division within the first ten minutes of the war.

For the officers and soldiers of the Third Battalion and Fourth Battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment who had fought with the 21st Division and the 108th Division, the combat effectiveness of this Japanese army unit that was successfully oppressed by them on both sides of the road was far stronger in the early stage than the opponents they had encountered.

The infantry failed to seize the commanding heights, which did not affect his sharp counterattack with heavy firepower!

The infantry artillery, mortars and even 41 mountain artillery set up by the Japanese army in a hurry were successively put into battle three minutes after the battle started.

Infantry guns are straight-sighting guns, and the attacks on close-range targets are self-evident. At least three fire points on the hillside are shrouded in smoke and have to stop shooting and transfer positions.

Due to the shooting distance of the mountain cannon, it actually did not cause effective damage within a distance of 500 meters to 800 meters. However, this group of Japanese troops actually chose to set their muzzles flat as a straight-sighting cannon. Seven or eight consecutive regiments of gunpowder rose on the hillside not far from the mountain road, accompanied by infantry being blown away.

The 6.5 kilogram flower grenade poses an extremely fatal threat to the officers and soldiers of the Four Rangers who have no trenches and bunkers.

The four 90-caliber mortars were even set up in a valley, constantly bombarding the hillside, and balls of smoke exploded in the area where the four-row regiment infantry crawled.

If you look down from the air, in the first few minutes of the war, smoke from the wilderness on both sides of the highway belonging to the Japanese army and the hillsides belonging to the Chinese side kept rising, and there was no sign that the side had an advantage.

The Four Army Regiment has fought many ambushes of the Japanese army, such as Guangde Xiaojinkeng and Guoqi Detachment, and an infantry corps of the 14th Division of the Bihegan. They basically rubbed the Japanese army in the encirclement from the beginning. There has never been any such Japanese army in the encirclement to fight back and forth, especially when the Four Army Regiment’s equipment is no longer the same as before.

"Order the 60th of each infantry squad to suspend the attack on the Japanese infantry, hit me the firepower and kill the Japanese artillery. Tell the two artillery company commanders that if they cannot knock out half of the Japanese artillery group in five minutes, the artillery company commander and others will not have to do it anymore. They will all go to the artillery squad to bring shells to me." Leng Feng, who was rarely emotional, was in a big flame for the first time.

"Excellent, I can't be the company commander. You bastards don't think about continuing to platoon leader. The squad leader is in front of me and they all bring shells with me." Qin Ruoyu, who was originally very scholarly, was anxious when he received the original words of Leng Feng from the communications soldier, and scolded Liang swearing.

Whether this official position or not is secondary. What is important is that he cannot lose face of the Fourth Camp, nor can he lose face of Tang Dao.

Who doesn't know that Shangguan Yun and he are both old comrades-in-arms in the battle of Sihang Warehouse? Tang Dao took huge risks to travel to Songhu, thousands of miles away, just to save their old comrades-in-arms, and even set up a fourth battalion specifically for their old comrades-in-arms.

As a result, after a battle, he was nominated by another old comrade in the army to be dismissed. Who can accept this?

Although anger cannot help improve the accuracy of artillery, it can definitely improve the efficiency of artillery company officers and soldiers.

The 60-force gunners located at a more forefront were the first to find the Japanese artillery. More than 20 small cannons gave up the light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers of the Japanese infantry and bombed them with all their strength towards the Japanese artillery that was working hard to fire.

The smoke of gunpowder instantly enveloped the Japanese artillery positions completely in the field, which also pointed out the direction for 6 80mm howitzers from two artillery companies of the Four Line Regiment.

Of course, the most severe attack on the Japanese artillery was the six 150-strong force led by Pang Dahai himself.

During the safety period, the six 150-goal ferry were placed in an area of ​​1,500 meters away from the battlefield, where there were dense forests to cover the artillery. This was also the case that Leng Feng considers that if the battlefield was delayed for too long, the Japanese army would have a group of bombers to help. If a carpet bombing was used to blow up the artillery battalion, even if the battle was won, it would actually be lost.

The Jungle covered 6 large killing weapons, which also made them lose their keenest reaction to the battlefield. At least they did not retaliate against the Japanese almost crazy artillery group in the shortest time.

Leng Feng gave Pang Dahai a face, but he just cursed the two captain-level artillery company commanders, but Deputy Battalion Commander Pang's fat face was a little uneasy.

You know, since he followed Tang Dao, Pang Dahai has basically been recognized, and Pang Dahai himself has never slacked off. The mountain artillery he led can be regarded as one of the most laborious teams of the entire Four Lines Regiment.

It's not just the hardships in various trainings. Tang Dao said that when there were no planes and tanks, artillery was the most cutting-edge technical force in the Four Army Regiment except the arsenal.

But 90% of the guys in the Artillery Battalion were transferred from infantry rude men, and it was difficult to write their own names, let alone to engage in any technical troops.

Therefore, the Artillery Night School was established at the suggestion of the puff of sea when the Four Regiment was still marching towards the Taihang Mountains.

As long as it is not during wartime, the artillery night school is a two-hour study of various cultural courses every night.

In addition to a few officers from regular artillery schools, many of them were from the pride of physics, machinery and other majors at Jinling University. Even at the suggestion of Tang Tuanzhao, the handsome man Dan Tai has taught lectures in art courses.

What was the experience of a group of rude men listening to the top Chinese calligraphy and painting masters talk about art like they were listening to heaven?

Not to mention ordinary artillery soldiers, even the two mountain cannons, Pang Dahai and Cheng Tieshou, and the commanders of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, were drowsy when they heard it, so don't mention the pain.

But they all persevered. This artillery night school lasted for a year. I don’t know how many artillery soldiers not only learned the basic knowledge that artillery should have, but also many were able to write a 400-word letter to their relatives in their hometown. Some people could even write a lyric poem in the gaps between the battlefield.

‘A cannon slammed the earth, awakening the soldiers who were in their dreams. They were about to yell at the little recruit, but they were barefoot!’

Really, as soon as this poem came out, Deputy Battalion Commander Pang's hard work this year had achieved fruitful results, and the artillery was the name of the cutting-edge technical troops of the Four Lines Regiment.

Just the infantrymen who are so harsh and thick, they can’t even write such seven-character quatrains that reflect the reality of the battlefield!

Deputy Battalion Commander Pang ran to find Company Commander Dan Tai Mingyue with an old face and asked her to publish this poem that reflects the panic and bravery of the new recruits of the Artillery Battalion on the newly established "Taihang Briefing".

That is a newspaper for all the troops of the Taihang Mountain garrison, and there are only 100,000 people reading it! The Sixing Tuan Mountain Cannon Company will completely become a cultural benchmark force for all the troops of the Taihang Mountains because of this poem.

Don’t say that although the company commander Dan Tai smiled so hard that he trembled, he still recommended it to the Taihang Briefing Editorial Department in its original text, and also received high praise from the headquarters of the 80th Army. He believed that the soldiers did not stop learning during the gaps in combat, and accumulated knowledge for the construction of China in the future, and should be an example for the entire army.

You said, how could the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion be so cowardly? To a certain extent, they were more anxious than the two more frontier artillery companies of the battalion.

Fortunately, the 60th and two battalion artillery companies used artillery fire to indicate the direction and coordinates. Six Bofors Mountain cannons and six 150th firepower were used to cover these areas with full fire.

The Bofos mountain cannon is nothing but its power is similar to the 41 mountain cannon equipped by the Japanese army. If you hit the sky, you will be able to get half of the basketball court area. However, the 150-pounding force is comparable to the 155 howitzer within a range of 3,000 meters.

Not to mention the Japanese artillery that opened the formation at a straight line distance of 30 meters in a hurry, even 100 meters would be 100 meters. I am afraid that the bombardment of nearly 20 kilograms of projectiles would be ruined.

The 150-strong force that fired more than 30 shells in succession also proved with the results that mortars are the king of artillery in mountain wars.

The artillery and artillery of the 4th Division were hit by a total of 400 rounds of 60 rounds of artillery shells, 180 rounds of flowering grenades and 40 rounds of 150 rounds of heavy shells in less than five minutes. They were covered by such firepower on the uncovered field battlefield, not by being crippled, but by the kind of death on the spot.

Several artillery pieces were only overturned by huge air waves, and they could still be used as long as they were straightened, but the artillery soldiers were killed by shrapnel and air waves.

The cannon is still there, but the people are gone, do you say it is miserable?

"The 1st and 2nd Infantry Squadrons left to block the enemy, and the rest of the troops looked for opportunities to withdraw from the battlefield!" Seeing this, a Japanese Army Major rationally issued a retreat order.

If this military order was quickly and efficiently transmitted to various Japanese troops, the Leng Feng troops might still be able to severely damage the Japanese troops, but they had not completely pierced their pockets, but they would not have thought of destroying them.

The great god Amaterasu abandoned his believers again, and flew over with a 60-plus exploding in an area less than 2 meters away from the Japanese lieutenant.

Flying shrapnel pierced the Japanese Grandmaster and the six Japanese troops surrounded him into sieve. When another Japanese Grandmaster had no choice but to issue a withdrawal order, it was 5 minutes later than the dead temporary supreme commander of the 3,000 Japanese troops.

In these 5 minutes, an infantry platoon carrying two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns seized a high ground 600 meters away from the Japanese rear team, firmly locking the retreat where the Japanese army wanted to run away from the highway.

Two 12.7mm heavy machine guns were not something that human bodies could resist. A bullet hit the body was a wound that was visible to the naked eye. Such a level of flesh and blood flew across the Japanese army to try to attack the highlands.

After sending a jade-breaking telegram to the detachment headquarters, the Japanese chief issued a military order to break through the scattered border.

From this moment on, the Japanese infantry squadrons began to lose unified command and each fought independently.

After only 20 minutes of persistence, the 4th Division, a unit with a force of more than 2,600 people, was disbanded. Compared with the strong combat power shown in the early stage, it was extremely typical.

But this does not mean that the battlefield is coming to an end. After 20 minutes of tragic blows, there are nearly 1,500 people in the Japanese army, who are all veterans who have been trained for two years, not 1,500 pigs.

There were countless Japanese troops trying to hide in the mountains and forests, and gunfire everywhere on the ambush battlefield with a width of 1,600 meters, making a pot of porridge.

Leng Feng immediately ordered the Japanese army who rushed into the mountains and fields to pursue the infantry squad.

This is also the sight of an hour later, a bombing formation composed of six Japanese bombers in the air.

Teams of blue were running in the mountains, chasing the yellowish scattered in the mountains. They wanted to pull down the hand gate and drop the heavy bombs hanging under the belly of the aircraft, turning the blue and yellow, which were not too different in quantity, into dust together.

But obviously, no one dared to do this. Even if the situation of the war is obviously unfavorable to one's side, no one dared to turn his colleagues and enemies into dust together. He would definitely go to the military court.

Although the Japanese have never lacked the courage to be crazy, this will never have a moment when the entire country has an absolute advantage.

Especially when their commander was Sasaki, the Japanese bomber formation had no choice but to hover around at an altitude of 1,200 meters for several times. In the end, they could not find a good bombing area and could only run to the Ruicheng battlefield 8 miles away.

Ruicheng is still in the hands of the Imperial Army, and the Chinese are still in the fields outside the city. Japanese bomber formations can fully show their strength.

But the two battlefields are not far away, and the huge roar of Japanese planes had already reached the 46th Brigade, and it was inevitable that the entire army would hide.

Although it did not help colleagues who were surrounded and chased and annihilated, these six Japanese planes made at least more than 600 Japanese soldiers who were still alive in Ruicheng County take a breath, which is also an achievement.

But for Japanese planes who are used to being arrogant in the sky, the battlefield here cannot be blown up, and the battlefield there cannot be found at high altitudes. How can we bear it?

Especially since the Nakajoyama operation, the young men of the North China Aviation Regiment of Japan, who have regained 120 fighter jets and more than 200 pilots, have never encountered decent resistance. The vast battlefield of nearly 200 miles is like a ranch for the Imperial Army Aviation, allowing them to soar freely.

Not to mention those Japanese Army Air pilots who had just arrived on the battlefield, even those who had been ravaged by the terrifying ground firepower of the Four-Road Group, have forgotten the danger now.

So, after the requests of the young men over and over again, Captain Sasaki made an extremely wrong decision, and four 96 land attack aircraft dropped from an altitude of 1,500 meters to about 800 meters to look for the Chinese.

Sure enough, the lowered height allowed them to see several Chinese positions. Four bombs were thrown near the target by the "hungry" Japanese pilots, and four strong smoke from gunpowder rose.

"Captain Sasaki Squadron, I ask to descend to the height and shoot the Chinese. They must pay the price of their lives for their stupidity." A Japanese lieutenant looked at the dark blue figure running in the smoke below with ferocious eyes.

"Secretary Fukui, we are here to carry out the task of bombing enemy infantry. Please don't forget your duty." Sasaki instinctively wanted to persuade the subordinate of this lieutenant with a deep background.

"Captain Sasaki Squadron, I remember that the Legion Commander said in front of all of us that the empire's land-air eagles not only have the speed of eagles, but also have the will to eagles soar in the sky. The imperial infantry struggled in the Chinese artillery fire. As the empire's most proud eagles, if they just dropped bombs like walking and left, I think they would be better than a group of sparrows!" The Japanese lieutenant replied that his boss's tone was full of arrogance.

As the best among the younger generation of Land Aviation pilots, it may not be enough to give the second lieutenant pilot the confidence to talk to his boss like this, but his uncle is a colonel, so this amount should be enough.

"Okay! Lieutenant Fukui, you convinced me. Good luck. I will raid you for you in the sky." Sasaki looked helpless, but in the end he agreed to the proposal of the arrogant Lieutenant pilot under his command.

There is only one group in the four-line group in North China, so no other one should pop up!

Sasaki's idea is correct. The success of the Four Lines Regiment is almost unreplicable. At least there is no regiment-level force on the Chinese battlefield that can do this.

It is impossible for the 46th Brigade, which has 12 heavy machine guns. Even if the Type 24 heavy machine gun without an anti-aircraft machine gun frame, the violent vibration of the gun body prevents it from forming a stable ballistic, which almost poses no threat to the four Japanese fighter jets that have lowered the altitude to a low altitude of 500 meters.

But the 46th Brigade also has 4 25mm dual-mounted machine guns, which are equipped in large quantities on Japanese gunboats, destroyers, battleships, and even aircraft carriers. Their main function is to use them as air defense.

The original idea of ​​Commander Kong's brigade was that he would drop bombs from high altitude. Whoever lets him fly from the sky? The "rustic buns" who just rely on two legs to run on the ground can only endure it.

As a result, the Japanese planes were getting more and more aggressive. After dropping more than a dozen bombs, their 46th Independent Brigade had to pay nearly 100 casualties and injuries. The four Japanese planes rushed down from the sky with a fierce look as if I was sure of you. How could they bear it?

"I'm sorry, the Japanese are forcing me to go to Liangshan. Okay, I don't plan to go back alive anyway. Today I'll see if the Japanese cannons hit their planes very well." The brigade commander Kong, who was pressing down the Japanese plane's nose and rushing down frantically in the woods, was also angry and swung his helmet to the ground.

"Tell Lao Wang that if he catches a dog-day plane today, the last time he mentioned that his baby daughter and my eldest nephew's baby would be married."

Lao Wang is the company commander of the heavy machine gun company directly under the brigade department of the 46th Brigade. This time, he seized 4 machine guns. The company commander of the heavy machine gun company who grew up naked with a bare ass immediately changed the cannon. The four heavy machine guns were thrown to two infantry regiments, and the heavy machine gun company directly turned into a machine gun company.

Lao Wang is truly synonymous with the future expert in "stealing people", and his patience is beyond everyone's imagination.

The four Japanese fighter jets have fired back and forth twice on the battlefield. Under the crazy whip, they have been stained with the blood of at least fifty or sixty soldiers of the 46th Brigade.

The brigade commander Kong's curse was so awaited that the Japanese pilots in the sky could hear it, but he was unmoved and waited until the Japanese plane returned again, and the altitude dropped to less than 350 meters without realizing it. Four 25mm dual-mounted machine guns hidden in the woods opened fire together.

Although the shooters of the heavy machine gun company only had the experience of shooting live-fire by attacking Ruicheng City Wall, the shooting accuracy was completely incomparable to the old shooters of the Four Lines Group, but they could not resist the Japanese plane flying too low, and they still had four teams gathering fire together to fight.

"Long live the Imperial Land Airlines, kill!" The young Japanese Land Airlines lieutenant was excited at this time, shouting slogans while pulling the machine gun to shoot the wrench.

The next moment, the sound came to an abrupt end.

What appeared before this Japanese lieutenant, the blood was red!

A 25mm shell exploded in front of his windshield, and the solid windshield instantly exploded into pieces. The face and small dagger-like glass fragments were pierced on the face of the Japanese Army Air Force, who was extremely excited just now, like a frightened hedgehog's sudden opening of a thorn.

The Japanese Second Lieutenant, instinctively threw away the rudder and touched his face full of glass. The severe pain that instantly spread to the brain nerves made the heart-wrenching pain.

That was also the last time the Japanese pilots heard the voice of Second Lieutenant Fukui.

After the fighter jet with thick smoke coming out of the tail lost the pilot's control, the nose quickly went down. As Sasaki's stunned gaze, he hit the ground and exploded into a fireball. The whole process would not exceed 3 seconds.

The other three Japanese aircraft were like frightened birds, and the nose quickly rose up.
