Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1130 Looking forward to the light!

"Order! The two infantry squadrons of the 200rd Infantry Battalion as a reserve team must assemble at the regiment headquarters; order! The regiment's logistics squadron will transfer 3 people to the regiment headquarters; order! The [-]rd squadron of the division engineer regiment will send to our regiment Team assembly;
In addition, please send a telegram to His Excellency Nagano, the Division Headquarters, that our 62nd Infantry Regiment has decided to fight the Chinese army to the death here, and ask the Division Artillery Regiment for support. , All of them are of great help to our division entering China's first battle! "After the artillery fire paused, Heng Shanze stood up from the bunker and coldly issued several military orders.

They were all military orders to gather troops. According to the normal speed of Japanese army assembly, there would be more than 1200 Japanese troops here in less than half an hour.

高地上还剩12人的4班和正在赶赴209.1高地的18人警卫班也不知道，他们将要面对的是40比1的可怕兵力对比！
This may also create a new record on the Chinese battlefield. Relying on the strong enough heavy firepower, the Japanese army, which has always fought more and fewer, actually played the game of Annan people fighting American cowboys in the southwest jungle in the next few decades. That set, crowd tactics!

Of course, this is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that the Japanese Artillery Wing still has 40 artillery pieces, 36 75mm cannons and 4 105mm howitzers. Thousand square meters of small hills.

Let alone 30 infantrymen, even 300 soldiers are still dead!

However, Heng Shanze is obviously not stupid. Although he really wants to do this, he also knows that the division is not run by his family, so he can fight as he says.Even if you are the head of the division, Nagano Kameichiro still needs to make a balance, otherwise, what do the other two captains of the Usa United think?
Therefore, he put forward another opinion, asking the artillery wing to find the approximate area of ​​​​the Chinese artillery positions, and to use artillery against artillery. According to the firepower of the Chinese just now, there will never be more than 10 mountain artillery.

Although this has greatly exceeded his expectations, this artillery still cannot compete with the 40 artillery pieces owned by the divisional artillery wing.

If Kameichiro Nagano could be persuaded to accept his tactical strategy, without the cover of artillery fire, and he used the sea-of-people tactics on his side, he would not believe that he would not be able to chew on this small mountain bag.

At this time, the sky is getting dark!
No matter how much Yokoyamaze wants to gnaw down the high ground in front of him, he still needs to wait for Nagano Kameichiro's reply, so he can only withdraw his troops temporarily, ordering the assembled squadrons to dig field trenches along the mountain for temporary camping, and wait Fight again tomorrow.

"Did the Chinese finally show their last cards?" Under the lantern, Nagano Kameichiro looked at the telegram from Yokoyamazawa in front of him, lost in thought.

A battle, on the surface, looks like you are attacking and defending, relying on soldiers and equipment, but in fact there are many ways to do it.

For example, in today's bloody battle, the 21st Division reported losses of more than a thousand people, which is equivalent to an infantry brigade withdrawing from the battle sequence.

This is only the first day, and the loss is already so huge, and the loss in the next few days may be even greater. Just thinking about this will only increase the number of casualties, and perhaps no matter how tough the commander is, he will feel frustrated.

But for Nagano Kameichiro, he was extremely indifferent!
It's not that he is so awesome that he can completely ignore the number of casualties, but for a 21st division that loses a division commander in the beginning of the war, what else can't be lost?
If you want to save the honor of the division, there is only one way for the whole division to go, and that is to break through the enemy's defense line!

It can be said that now Nagano Kameichiro has a broken can and broken mentality, and how many people die is really not what he cares most about.

Of course, the deaths and injuries of more than 1000 people allowed him to see clearly the hole cards his opponents had. This was what really made him feel calm.

Yes, when he learned that the opponent was the Four Elements Group, Kameichiro Nagano knew that it was by no means an easy opponent to deal with, especially if the opponent had a sufficient number of mountain cannons.

If you want to defeat the Four Elements Regiment, you can't just rely on crowd tactics to fight consumption, you must also destroy the opponent's artillery.

Throughout the day, whether it was the 83rd Infantry Regiment on the main position or the 62nd Infantry Regiment with a determined flank attack, they were actually just bait.

But it's not temptation, but coercion, forcing the opponent to reveal his hole cards one by one!
As for the infantry who are destined to enter the death list, they are naturally just small pawns on the chessboard. Even if they are eaten by others, as long as they can see the opponent's cards clearly, it is worth it.

The words "benevolence does not control soldiers" and "one general succeeds in ten thousand bones" are applicable not only in China, but also in Japanese.

Little people, in the eyes of big people, are just numbers after all.

Now, although the hole cards revealed by the Four Elements Group shocked him, there were both large-caliber heavy pressure and a lot of mountain cannons, but he finally saw it.

The destructive power of the large-caliber heavy pressure is enough to make people frightened, but the range of only 3000 meters is doomed to be a single type of artillery that can only attack infantry, and it cannot pose a threat to the enemy's artillery at all.

The only threat is the mountain cannon that also has a range of 6000 meters!

To deal with such enemies, there is no shortcut, only to kill them!
"Order the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion of the Artillery Wing and the accompanying guards to move forward 1800 meters to the southwest overnight, and the 3rd Battalion and Howitzer Squadron to stand by!" Nagano Kameichiro, who had made up his mind, ordered.

The 24 75-mountain cannons of the two brigades of the Artillery Wing moved forward another 1800 meters, and the distance from the front line of Niangziguan was less than 4000 meters. In theory, they were already within the range of the Chinese mountain cannons, but similarly, the Chinese artillery positions were also here. The range of the Menshan cannon is double the firepower, and the Chinese will definitely suffer a lot.

What's more, there are four 4 howitzers waiting for them at a distance beyond the reach of Chinese artillery 105 meters away.

This means that Nagano Kameichiro has accepted Yokoyama Ze’s suggestion that the 24 mountain cannons will become support firepower at any time when the crowd tactics are in progress, and use this to lure the general area of ​​​​the Chinese artillery positions, and the two sides will fight each other with artillery. To determine the final direction of this offensive and defensive battle.

The two commanders of the Japanese army were extremely scheming and determined the direction of the battlefield for the next day in this dark night, but the Chinese side would not be led by their noses.

For example, in this dark night, according to the thinking of the Japanese army, as the offensive side, they showed such a strong strength. Three acres of land is not bad, what other ideas do you have?

But unfortunately, under the leadership of Tang Tuanzuo, the soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment have never been the kind of troops that follow the rules.

In front of the main position, the Japanese army deployed barbed wire and arranged a large number of sentry patrols to block the possibility of infantry attacks, but this does not mean absolute security.

The company and platoon-level commanders on the position actually moved the 60mm in their hands to the top of the mountain. The range of 1500 meters was enough for them to threaten all the Japanese barracks on the front line.

From time to time, a flare was shot into the sky from the dark wilderness, and then the figure of the patrolling sentinel of the Japanese army was clearly visible.

Then, a row of artillery shells followed, blasting the turf and gravel in the afterglow of the flares, accompanied by the wailing of the Japanese patrol.

When the Japanese army fired flares in anger, trying to find out the group of "gray mice" who dared to go down the mountain and lurk in front of their positions, there was not even a ghost in the position, and they might attract another row of shells.

What caused the Japanese army the most pain was that the bursts of light and the duration of the shells from time to time were simply horrific, from 9 o'clock after nightfall to 4 o'clock in the morning.

Although everyone knows that this is a harassment war played by the Chinese side, but this is a typical conspiracy. In this case, who can sleep in peace?Maybe when I was shot with a flare in front of the trench where I was camping, and then a row of shells fell on my head, I didn't know why I died.

There are nearly [-] infantrymen in the two infantry regiments on the front line. In this autumn night with a slightly cold autumn wind, they all look up at the sky with their big eyes open. Once there is a flash of light, they immediately run away with their heads in their hands!
"The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to find light!"

The literal meaning of this poem seems to be tailor-made for the Japanese soldiers of the 21st Division, who stayed up all night until dawn.

Of course, this kind of purely harassing bombardment cost about 400 rounds of shells and 50 rounds of illumination bombs in each company and platoon of the main position of the Four Elements Regiment throughout the night. The latent vanguard soldiers of our own side were injured by 6 people and 1 person was killed by the Japanese army's concentrated fire. The price can be described as Not small.

However, the Four Elements Regiment has no way to record how many victories they have won, but the only thing that is certain is that the nearly ten thousand Japanese troops on the front line will not be able to sleep soundly tonight.

According to the declassified documents of the Japanese North China Front Army after the war, the battle of Niangziguan on the night of September 9, due to the continuous mortar attacks from the Chinese side, caused a total of 9 deaths and 82 deaths to the two infantry regiments 83 and 34. Human tragedy.

But please note that these are only two infantry regiments, because the 62nd infantry regiment on the flank is far more miserable than this.

The Chinese defenders on the high ground didn't just harass them with mortars, but went down the mountain to fight back!

Because of the difficult and dangerous mountain roads, the 62nd Infantry Regiment, eager to increase their marching speed, was forced to leave a lot of luggage, including barbed wire and other supplies that must be brought on the march. This also caused the Japanese army camping in the mountains to lack the most necessary protection.

"Are you crazy! Squad leader Tu, our two squads combined have only so few people, and you still want to go down the mountain to steal the Japanese?" The security squad leader Zhou Dapeng's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

As a veteran of the Northeast Army who participated in the Battle of Songjiang, Zhou Dapeng is definitely not weak, otherwise he would not have been personally selected by Li Jiujin to serve as the sergeant squad leader of the 7th company security squad.

The Japanese army at the foot of the mountain had obviously taken the 209.1 highland as a breakthrough point, and their assembled force definitely exceeded hundreds of people. If they went to sneak attack at such a time, they would completely lose the advantage of the terrain.

"Hey! Squad Leader Zhou, a veteran like you thinks it's impossible, and the Japanese think so even more. That's what the Tuan Zuo said, surprise!" Tu Yunsheng chuckled. "Besides, you brought this big killer this time, so you don't let the little devil have a good taste of it, how can it work?"

"That's right! Squad Leader Zhou, this time the company commander asked you to bring these things, not because of the bombardment of the Japanese devils. As long as they dare to chase after them, they will have their arms and legs broken! Oh, no, yes Cut off children and grandchildren!" Boss Cao stroked the metallic anti-infantry mine in the wooden box with his hands, fascinated.

This kind of anti-infantry mine made by the arsenal is really a fun thing, and it's not too big. It can be stuffed in the grass. Once you step on it, it will definitely be a wail!
"You guys in Squad 4 are all lunatics!" Looking at the old man whose saliva was dripping from touching the anti-infantry thunder, the security squad leader could only roll his eyes helplessly.

Originally, the twenty anti-infantry mines that Li Jiujin asked him to bring were for Squad 4 to bury them about [-] meters in front of the position at night to prevent the Japanese from playing sneak attacks.

Unexpectedly, the lunatics in Class 4 were afraid of wasting it, so they planned to put this batch of mines in front of the Japanese camp.

"Did the commander of the regiment say that if you want to win this Patriotic War, you have to be crazy. How can you stop nearly a million devils who are armed to the teeth?" Tu Yunsheng shook his head lightly, with deep pain in his eyes. Sigh softly. "If you're not crazy, how can you deal with those brothers who have died!"

In one sentence, the small blast hole fell silent for an instant.

During the daytime on September 9, compared to a Japanese infantry squadron that was annihilated by artillery fire, the loss of Squad 9 was actually not that great. One corporal machine gunner died and three soldiers were seriously injured. It is the corner that all soldiers do not want to touch.

"Okay! I agree with your attack tactics. I will let the MG34 machine gun firepower team take the battle position and cover you with firepower, but you have to promise me that you will not love to fight, and run away as soon as you succeed!" Zhou Dapeng took a deep breath, accepted.

"Squad Leader Zhou, don't worry, we promise to complete the task!" Tu Yunsheng smiled, and turned around to say hello: "Uncle Cao, go and call the horses and the others, all of them with engineering shovels, 50 rounds of bullets are enough, and a few more grenades for me! "

. . . . . . . . . . . .

September 9, 10:3 am!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the camp of an infantry squadron of the Japanese army, flames burst out continuously!

"The Chinese are shelling! Dodge the bombs! Dodge the bombs!" A Japanese captain in military trousers and a white shirt yelled wildly, directing his subordinates.

In the flames of the explosion, the figure of the Japanese captain with a command knife hanging from his waist is quite heroic. If it were put in a movie, at least the male number two.

But on the battlefield, it is too conspicuous.

"Bang!" A gunshot!
It is not conspicuous in the Japanese infantry field camp that is constantly exploding, but a flower of blood blooms on the chest of the Japanese captain!
Accompanied by the disbelieving eyes of the Japanese infantry captain looking at his chest, fiery gunshots rang out.

It was spewed out by four submachine guns and three semi-automatic rifles. Seven Chinese soldiers fired bullets at the Japanese army from a latent point as wide as 200 meters and as close as 50 meters.

There was no shelling, and the explosion that fell into the Japanese army's position was completely done by Boss Cao, a human "bomb thrower".

Boss Cao, who was hiding behind a boulder 60 meters away, had 30 hand grenades unscrewed beside him. At least three-fifths of the 8 hand grenades carried by the eight soldiers before they set off remained by his side. The speed of the bombs caught up with the mortars, which gave the Japanese army the illusion of shelling.

The crazy rain of bullets from the 7-shot automatic firearm made the Japanese army finally know that they had encountered an enemy attack. Although the accidental death of the captain of the captain made the Japanese army confused for 2 minutes, as a second lieutenant captain of the Japanese army took over the command, the Japanese army also regained their composure. , While firing flares to find the enemy, machine guns and grenades also began to show off.

There were even dozens of Japanese infantry scattered to the two wings, which was a posture to surround the attackers.

At the same time, a Japanese camp 200 meters away also woke up, and the noisy footsteps showed that they were also starting to rush towards their colleagues under attack.

Flares shot into the air one after another, illuminating the entire campsite brightly, so that several Chinese soldiers who approached tens of meters could clearly see the angry and distorted faces of the Japanese infantry without binoculars.

They are so powerful that there are still Chinese who dare to risk the world's disgrace to come and attack. This is a shame to the Imperial Army.

Perhaps, not only he thought so, but Colonel Yokoyama Ze, who was awakened by the explosion more than 700 meters away, also thought so.

"Baga! Surround them and kill them all. I will hang their bodies on the highest peak of Taihang Mountain for all Chinese to see!" Heng Shanze roared angrily.

After all, there are many Japanese soldiers. In addition to an infantry squadron that killed 18 people in a panic by the grenade exploding in the air and the dense rain of bullets, there are still more than 160 Japanese soldiers left, hundreds of rifles and 6 light machine guns. The rain had the upper hand in an instant.

If there is no accident, the Japanese army's quick-response central suppression and two-wing outflanking tactics can be achieved very quickly, and it is difficult for eight Chinese soldiers to escape.

But a fiery red whip swept over from the mountains and forests 700 meters away!

The flares of the Japanese army are too bright, especially in this dark night, it is so bright that there are no friends!
The MG1500 fire team, carrying 8 rounds of ammunition and a total of 34 belts, quickly selected the target under the command of the deputy shooter with a telescope!

Under the support of the tripod, the heavy machine gun type high-speed MG34 poured more than 1 rounds of bullets on the Japanese positions in less than 600 minute, even exceeding the bullets fired by more than 100 Japanese infantry.

That was a disaster!

The infantry squadron counted after the attack, and there were more than 15 infantry casualties in this round of horrific shooting.

But this is not the ultimate nightmare for the Japanese infantry!
The real nightmare is that they, driven by the captain of the Dazuo United, chased after the small group of Chinese soldiers who dared to attack them.

Then, deep into the minefield!
Yes, the cunning and fierce Chinese used anti-infantry mines and tripping thunder gods to complete a minefield unknowingly on their way to escape, less than 200 meters from the imperial infantry camp.

After five consecutive soldiers were injured by anti-infantry mines, the Japanese second lieutenant who led the team finally realized the problem, but it was too late!

Darkness has become a deadly protective color!

No one knows whether they will step on or trip over those terrible things that can send themselves and the robes around them to the sky when they move their feet.

Turning on the flashlight is even more courting death!

The terrifying machine gun in the distance is guided by the bright light, pouring ammunition wantonly!

The Japanese infantry with more than a hundred people could only wait in place, waiting for dawn before leaving carefully!

But the battlefield is so cruel, how difficult it is to see the sun of tomorrow!
At the dawn of dawn, shells from three 60mm mortars flew towards us like raindrops.

The dumbfounded Japanese infantry burst into tears!

There is no more vicious, only the most vicious. Stepping into the minefield laid by the Chinese overnight is already very exciting, but the real feast begins.
In the end, there were less than 30 Japanese troops left!
In a night attack and counterattack, the Japanese army suffered more than a hundred casualties!

Of the 4 people in the 8th squadron, three were scratched by the rocks. If we had to say the price, it would be that they consumed a little more ammunition.

The 4th class was rewarded by the regimental headquarters, and the whole class made a collective first-class military exploit once!
This battle example was compiled into the actual combat textbook of the teaching brigade after the war!
