Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1129 The Commander Above!
So far, in a small and small highland attack battle of the Four Elements Regiment, an infantry squadron of the 62nd Infantry Regiment has suffered more than 50.00% battle damage!

In any battle, this has been regarded as an extremely tragic failure.

But this is not the end.

Compared with the death squad wandering on the edge of the artillery fire, the main force of the Japanese infantry squadron about 150 meters away from the position, although already lying on the ground, was still praying for the god Amaterasu to appear, so that the artillerymen's artillery could attack Just be more precise and don't fall on them.

But obviously, the divine light of Amaterasu, who had been calling for a long time, did not take care of these poor little people.

Artillery in this era did not have laser guidance and the ability to shoot shells accurate to the meter.

Of the 10 shells fired by the Simenshan Cannon, which had been shelling continuously for 150 minutes, no less than 150 of the 6 shells fell on the Japanese positions more than 20 meters away, and at least [-] people were blown up by their own shells.

The casualty rate of this infantry squadron has reached an astonishing 60.00%. If it was changed to the western battlefield, it would have collapsed two or three times.

Is the Japanese commander crazy?Li Jiujin, the commander of the 7th Company, who received a call from the Sharp Knife Platoon to report, had a dark cloud on his face!

Of course, this is not the most terrifying shelling that this veteran has ever encountered. There are ten times more crazy than this. Last year on the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese army used 203 caliber naval guns. Here, an infantry platoon was wiped out in an instant. The fear of destroying the world, if not for wanting to go home to see the mother and the baby, Li Jiujin, who was always optimistic, would not be able to support it.

However, this is definitely the first time he encountered in the first battle, before both sides showed their final cards and before the decisive battle began, the Japanese commander used this desperate gambling method to attack with the enemy.

Li Jiujin's eyes narrowed!
It was this kind of madness that made him smell a little crisis!
First of all, those who dare to issue such military orders must have a high official position, otherwise they may not be able to bear the accusations they received after the war;
A small highland with no more than one infantry squad in the garrison has a senior officer who is at least at the rank of major or above personally commanding, which in itself explains some problems.

Secondly, what is hidden under this crazy military order is sophistication, because the Japanese army has an absolute advantage in military strength, and if people are exchanged, even if it is two for one or three for one, the defenders must suffer in the end!
Because, Tang Tuanzuo said, in the eyes of the noble officers of the Japanese army, there is no concept of loving soldiers like children.Just like the famous so-called Japanese military god Nogi Noki, but with the lives of 6 Japanese soldiers, he paved himself a bloody ladder straight to Qingyun!

Moreover, when the Japanese army was firmly suppressed at the front of the position, and could be hanged and beaten by the mortars hidden by the Four Elements Regiment at any time, the fate of these Japanese troops was already doomed to be sacrificed. This unknown Japanese commander The direct choice of "If you don't let me die, then I won't let you live" is really a vicious seven-injury punch that hurts others and yourself.

With this move alone, the opponent on the opposite side is an extremely difficult opponent.

It's just that the ambition of this ruthless Japanese commander is too deep.

At this moment, he was still thinking about attacking the position. When he heard his platoon leader with sharp knives report that the Japanese soldiers in front of the position were lying still, even though his own shells lifted him up high, Li Jiujin's eyes flashed coldly. cold!
The Japanese take themselves too seriously. Is it great to have mountain cannons?Shanpao, the Four Elements Group also has them.

"The power generation requests the artillery battalion artillery company to carry out retaliatory artillery bombardment on the section between 209.1 meters and 300 meters in front of my 1200 highland, and tell Deputy Battalion Commander Pang for me that he owes me three drinks, and he wants to grow old with me The Li family accepted the baby's marriage, and Lao Tzu also agreed, and the bride price is guaranteed to be from his old Pang's family!

In addition, according to my order, the company guard squad will reinforce the 209.1 highland and ask them to bring a MG34 heavy machine gun firepower team. If the mortar squads of the other platoons receive the 209.1 highland request for fire support signal flares, they will support me at all costs. When the shells ran out, I personally went to the battalion commander, director Zhuang, and the group seat for approval.

Damn, since the little devils want to play swap so much, let them come!Lao Tzu Li Jiujin doesn't believe in this evil today! "Li Jiujin slammed down his steel helmet and ordered decisively.

Li Jiujin, who has rich experience in the battlefield, keenly sensed through Hengshanze's crazy shelling that the opposing Japanese army planned to use the 209.1 highland as a breakthrough point, and then formed a battle pattern of breaking the surface, so he decisively dispatched his company with the strongest combat effectiveness Directly under the security class, it can be regarded as indirectly showing his strongest hole card.

A sharp knife platoon infantry squad, a guard squad, a valuable MG34 heavy machine gun firepower team, and a full company of 9 60mm mortars spared no expense in the artillery fire support, and there are fairly solid fortifications for support.

In addition, there are 12 Bofors artillery companies that have never been used to support the fire barrier formed by the front 500 meters of the position.

Even if the Japanese army sent two infantry squadrons to attack, as the company commander, Li Jiujin was not guilty. He planned to turn this place into a flesh and blood mill, where the meat of the Japanese army was ground and the blood of the Japanese army was shed.

Even after the war, no one criticized Li Jiujin's tactical plan at all. This was already the best tactic Li Jiujin made according to the current battlefield situation.

What's more, in front of the highlands to which his infantry company belonged, nearly 1500 Japanese soldiers from one and a half infantry brigades attacked, and the ratio of troops was almost 5 to 1!
But everyone underestimated how crazy Yokoyama Ze would be!
When Pang Hai received Li Jiujin's request for artillery support from crossing the regiment headquarters, he laughed and scolded: "Lao Li is a bitch, this is blatantly bribing me", and then immediately sent messages to the regiment headquarters and Tang Dao for instructions.

This is Li Jiujin's red eye, and the officers will not blame him, but if he fires without asking for instructions, he will expose the strength of the regiment's artillery, not to mention that Director Ye, who is sitting in the regiment's headquarters at this time, will write him down, I'm afraid the regiment None of the chief executives will spare him.

Usually you can engage in small circles and small hills in private, but in a big war, the whole army plays a game of chess, and everything must follow the action and command. No matter how itchy he is, the deputy commander of the artillery battalion and the company commander of the mountain artillery company Never because of personal relationship.

Of course, the reason why the old soldier dared to "bribe" in the telegram is that he must have asked for instructions. This "bribe" is just to hope that his old brother will help him contact the chief of the regiment. Report the emergency battle situation on the flank highlands.

As for why not directly ask Leng Feng for instructions and then contact the regiment headquarters, it is naturally because the battle situation is urgent and the intermediate links are reduced. He will definitely report to Leng Feng before the artillery support arrives!
With the solid friendship between him and battalion commander Leng Feng, he believed that Leng Feng would understand!
This was Li Jiujin. If any other company commander would choose to bypass the two immediate superiors, that would be an absolute taboo in the military!

This is the wisdom of survival on the battlefield that belongs to veterans. It is a bit of personal relationship, but it is definitely the best way to get support from your own large-caliber artillery in the shortest time.

At least make the arrival of artillery support 5 minutes earlier!

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, let alone 5 minutes, even 50 seconds, may be able to change the battlefield situation.

"What kind of Japanese army made Li Jiujin take this risk?" Ye Chenghuan was also slightly taken aback when he received the call from the artillery battalion.

Although Li Jiujin is usually a bit tired, Ye Chenghuan knows that Li Jiujin's tired appearance However, it hides tenacity and wisdom that ordinary people do not possess.

The nine infantry company commanders selected by Tang Tuanzuo each have their own personalities and characteristics, including the taciturn Zhao Daqiang, the young and vigorous Qian Dazhu, and the brave Cai Yongguan who is full of banditry.
Among the nine major infantry company commanders, only veteran Youzi is known for his exhausted temperament, but the miracle is that none of the school-level officers in the regiment thinks he is incompetent!
what is this?This is great wisdom, this is the ability!
"Order the mountain artillery company with 8 mountain artillery firepower to support the front line, and the other 4 are on standby!" Ye Chenghuan gave the order without hesitation.

Although Ye Chenghuan is the director of the political department, his battlefield experience can even be traced back to 8 years ago. From a small soldier to a commander commanding thousands of troops, his combat experience is even worse than that of Tang Dao.

Although the information reported by Li Jiujin was not very clear, he was keenly aware of the Japanese army's expectation of breaking through the highlands on the flanks.

If he guessed right, in a few minutes, the firing rate of the Japanese artillery will gradually decrease, and the Japanese army still lying on the forward position will charge to the high ground under the suppression of the artillery fire.

Li Jiujin's request for concentrated artillery bombardment of the Japanese army in front of the position and behind the position is likely to give the Japanese army who is about to make a move a heavy blow!
What is the purpose of hiding the Bofors Mountain Cannon? Isn't it just waiting for the Japanese army to concentrate enough to beat them with blood in one fell swoop!
This means that 12 150 heavy mortars are placed on the main battlefield, and their range is only 3000 meters, otherwise they will definitely give these little devils a good look.

In the bomb defense hole, Tu Yunsheng, who had already smoked two cigarettes leisurely, listened to the movement outside, and brushed the ashes from his head and shoulders, "Brothers, check the guns and prepare to enter the position."

"But, squad leader, the devil's guns haven't stopped yet!" said a recruit who had just joined the army less than three months ago.

Only those who have really experienced shelling will understand that not to mention staying in a position with only trenches, even staying in a bomb-proof hole with logs as the roof and logs as the bones is daunting and frightening.

"Fool! When the guns stop, the little devils will be able to touch them. You want to fight with them with bayonets, right? Just the few of us now are not enough for the devils to swallow." The young squad leader rolled his eyes and cursed. The recruits were left speechless.

"Brothers, remember it for me. As soon as the whistle blows, go to the battlefield for me. Remember, empty the bullet in the gun at the devil. No matter how accurate it is, hide it for me. I just say run, Let me go back to the bomb defense hole immediately." The young sergeant squad leader threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

"Squad leader, I heard from the company commander that killing a devil is worth two dollars! You have to record it for me! My son will rely on this to get a wife." A veteran smiled with a smile on his face.

"Brother Tao, your wife is still at the mother-in-law's house! Why did you think about the baby in advance? Isn't it a little too early?" A soldier who was only in his early 20s made fun of him for being two years older. The year-old is actually a bachelor veteran.

"Gunqiu, when I was in my hometown, a fortune teller did a fortune teller for me, saying that I was destined to have a son, so I made preparations in advance! Don't laugh at me too much, Maer, I think we blocked it a while ago. The pretty girl from your landlord's house seems to like you quite a bit, so you should hurry up and worry about your bride price!" The veteran responded.

"Brother Tao, don't talk nonsense. Yunmeizi is very thin-skinned. If word spreads, people should stop being a human being." The young soldier's dark face turned red instantly, and he hurriedly explained.

Seeing this, the soldiers who had lived in that landlord's house for more than ten days all smiled.

That was when the Four Elements Regiment first arrived at Dakouzidong. Because there were not enough field tents, many companies rented houses in fellow villagers and gave them rent.

Later, even though we had our own barracks, during the holidays, the soldiers who formed a deep relationship with the landlord would go to the landlord's house to help with farm work, which was also advocated by the regiment headquarters.

Yun Nier, the landlord's family, has a good time this year but is also extremely shy. The soldiers are basically older than her, and they always treat her as a younger sister, and the four-element regiment is also disciplined. If you want to fall in love and get married, at least you have to Two years of military service, the rank of sergeant and above!
The young soldier surnamed Ma and nicknamed Ma'er is now a first-class soldier, two ranks behind a sergeant. He was teased by his comrades and busy explaining to the girl, but he didn't even think about defending himself. He didn't even try to cover it up. up.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, if you want a bonus, you have to save your life to get it first. Don't you know why Lao Zhou didn't exist?

All of you, be smart, don't stay in one battle position for too long, and save your lives. If my guess is right, since the little devil commander doesn't take their people as his life, There must be a next time. "The young sergeant frowned and reminded the soldiers beside him.

As soon as Lao Zhou, the machine gun shooter who died because of the grenade, fell silent in the bomb defense hole.

On the battlefield, no matter how careful you are, you may be able to avoid bullets, but when it comes to grenades and shells, you can only resign yourself to fate.

"Don't worry, just keep your head down and follow me to finish this battle well. I'll treat you all to a hot pot of mutton." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, the young sergeant grinned, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

At this moment, amidst the dull roar of shells, a sharp iron whistle rang out.

It was Boss Cao who voluntarily asked to stay on the front line of the trenches, indicating that the Japanese infantry were really about to come up.

"Let's go!" The young sergeant raised his gun neatly, and was the first to get out of the blast hole and into the choking gunpowder smoke.

Several soldiers behind him followed closely behind.

Soldiers in the other artillery hole entered the communication trench almost at the same time.

Then, a shrill scream came from afar behind.

Whether it was a Chinese soldier or a Japanese infantryman, they instinctively raised their heads and looked towards the sky, their legs trembling involuntarily.

Such intensive howling can only have one result, the cannons!

No matter how tough the soldiers are, they can't help but tremble when faced with the shells that can blow up the solid fortifications into a white ground.

Tu Yunsheng is no exception!

"Avoid the gun!" The young sergeant roared, and rushed into the trench first, holding the gun in both hands, leaning against the trench wall, curling himself up into a ball, trying his best to protect his most vulnerable chest and abdomen.

Perhaps, this is the unified posture of all Chinese and Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, the only difference is that some are faster and some are slower. In addition, the Chinese soldiers have trench shelters, but the Japanese do not!
Then, the earth trembled!
Groups of fireballs bloomed on the hillside!

Although some shells landed in an area less than 50 meters away from Boss Cao hiding in the observation post, which made the uncle's old face pale with fright, this basically scared the Chinese soldiers on the ground who were so scared that they were thumping. They judged that this was their own mountain cannon showing off its power.

"My darling, our old company commander Li has a lot of face! He actually mobilized the artillery battalion and mountain artillery company!" After 1 minute, the soldier surnamed Ma quietly poked his head out from the edge of the trench and glanced at the scenery below. The scorching heat wave Let him quickly retract into the trench, and said excitedly.

Only this time there was no response, the only response was the stern look from the young sergeant.

The bullets that continued to explode like thunder were hundreds of meters away, and the ears of all the soldiers were buzzing. Who could hear what he said?Moreover, his unprotected spying on the battlefield, which was bombarded with air waves and shrapnel, would not be allowed under normal circumstances.

But, who doesn't want to see the spectacle of devils lying dead under their own gunfire?
"Baga! Order the whole army to quickly avoid the artillery!" Heng Shanze was quite smart, seeing the artillery shells roaring hundreds of meters away into a sea of ​​flames, he had no time to think about the hundreds of infantry soldiers who were still on the ground Instead, he immediately thought of the 800 main force who was still 400 meters away.

The Chinese have hidden the group of mountain artillery for so long, once fired, they will never stop easily.

Yokoyama Ze's decision at least helped him save nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers, including himself.

The 8 Bofors Mountain Cannons that were allowed to fire blasted more than 9300 meters in front of the 209.1 highland into a sea of ​​flames with their ultra-long range of up to 200 meters and sufficiently accurate impact points, and then quickly extended outwards.

After venting for half an hour, more than 500 shells were fired, and Heng Shanze saw what it means to be ruthless!
come!change!This hurricane of artillery fire, rush forward if you are not afraid of death!

An infantry squadron of the 62st Infantry Battalion of the 1nd Infantry Regiment survived the madness of the artillery of both the enemy and our own in the end, no more than [-] percent survived.

In addition, nearly a hundred Japanese troops including the 62nd Infantry Regiment, the artillery squad, and the heavy machine gun squad were killed along with them.

Covered in dust, the heart of Colonel Yokoyama Ze, who was protected by two Japanese guards, was already muddy!
But the hostility in his red eyes has not diminished in the slightest!

In layman's terms, call the top!
