Rise from eight hundred.

"Imperial Warriors of the 62nd Infantry Regiment, the time has come to show your loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor."

Standing in front of three infantry squadrons lined up with white cloths crossed across their chests, the flesh-faced Heng Shanze stood at attention solemnly, and then faced east, which was the direction of the island country's imperial palace.

Get down on your knees!

Nearly 600 Japanese infantry soldiers with stiff expressions followed their army chiefs, all facing the direction of the palace, kneeling on their knees!
Before the war, the ceremony of farewell to His Majesty the Emperor was used in the history of the Japanese army, and it was used when Nogi Nori organized the 6000 Death Squad during the Russo-Japanese War.

But now, it was used by Heng Shanze on a small unnamed high ground.

"Empire, prosperous martial arts!" The Japanese Army Colonel, who had finished prostrating towards the palace, slowly stood up, swept across the 600 infantry with swords and guns in front of him, and suddenly drew out his command saber, hissing and roaring.

"Empire, prosperous martial arts!" The Japanese infantrymen couldn't help but raise their rifles high under the stimulation of their captain.

"Yoxi! Gentlemen, please go! The battlefield is up to you! This battle must be overcome!" Heng Shanze nodded fiercely.

The Japanese army lined up, with heavy military boots taking trembling steps, and walked out of the valley. The small hill 800 meters ahead was their goal of 600 people.

This time, except for a supply squadron and an engineering squadron serving as their reserve, Yokoyamaze almost put all the regular infantry in his hands into the battlefield at once, led by the senior staff officer of the regiment, Major Iitalong.

"In the morning light, seeing rows of warriors in military uniform rushing towards the front of the enemy's formation under the morning glow, Commander Yokoyamaze held his saber horizontally, and bowed his head respectfully to send the warriors under his command to the battlefield!

The warriors of the empire with their heads held high and the commanding officer with firm eyes formed a magnificent picture scroll in the sunlight, which will remain in my memory forever!

Our clan, with such a group of warriors, why can't we live up to their proclaimed prosperity? "

This is a passage written by a reporter from the "Asahi Shimbun" who was sent to the 62nd Infantry Regiment overnight by Kameichiro Nagano for an interview this morning.

He seemed to have completely forgotten that before dawn, due to the night attack of the Chinese soldiers, dozens of corpses were covered with white cloth and temporarily parked in the forest. The screams of dozens of seriously injured soldiers made the night birds dare not return home!
He seems to have forgotten that the small hill in front of him is less than 200 meters high. After a day and a night of fighting, the Japanese army commander with a fierce face and naked eyes lost more than 300 soldiers. Don't count today, just the current battle loss Bi, has created a new record in the Sino-Japanese battlefield.

The battle loss ratio is 1 to 80!

However, no one will admit it, neither the Japanese nor the Chinese military and political department.

The former, even if beaten to death, would not admit it; the latter, even if beaten to death, would not believe it!
In fact, even Tang Dao was taken aback when he received the results reported by Li Jiujin in the early morning, but considering the buff bonus of the Mountain Cannon Company, it was still acceptable.

In particular, the tactic of Tu Yunsheng, the leader of the 4th squad, who made a decisive night attack and lured the Japanese army into the minefield before using mortar shells, was quite a general.

"Order the whole regiment to record collective first-class military exploits once for the 7th company, 1st platoon, and 4th squad of the third battalion. In addition, call on the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment to learn from them!" Tang Dao also signed the second agreement after the start of the Niangziguan battle in this morning light Award order.

The first commendation order was naturally issued to the two scouts of the reconnaissance company Shen Laoliu. With the strength of two people, Shen Laoliu led a group of indigenous villagers to wipe out a reinforced Japanese infantry squadron, creating a miracle in the history of war. , won the personal special military exploit once!
Fortunately, Shen Laoliu survived. In order to prevent him from being infected, the reconnaissance company specially asked the medical company to apply for three bottles of 'penicillin', which was more expensive than gold, and sent them to him. Among them, 30 box cannons, 10 machine guns, 1 bullets, 500 grenades and 100 taels of gold were selected and sent to him.

The Sixing Regiment also refused all the Japanese-style firearms and ammunition seized by the Japanese army and let them dispose of it by themselves.

That almost means that as long as there are enough personnel, Yeyue Village can completely form a light infantry battalion by itself, that is, it lacks heavy weapons. With the help of geographical advantages, another Japanese infantry squadron is not incapable of fighting.

"Squad Leader Tu, congratulations to the brothers of Squad 4!" Zhou Dapeng, the squad leader of the security squad, held the commendation letter panting from the company's communications soldiers, envious.

If the soldiers of Squad 4 were not afraid of alarming the Japanese army, they probably couldn't help raising their arms and shouting at this time.

"Brother Peng, although this military achievement is good, I'm afraid that I will earn my life, and I will lose my life!" Holding a quadruple telescope that Zhou Dapeng specially applied for from the company headquarters, Tu Yunsheng smiled wryly.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Dapeng was taken aback, and took the telescope handed over by Tu Yunsheng.

Then, also stand on the spot.

In the field of vision of the telescope, you can see the yellow figures of Japanese soldiers in the mountains, one group after another, one row after another.
"The Japanese are crazy! I heard that there are only one or two infantry squadrons on the main front. We are a small place, how can they engage in such a big battle?" Zhou Dapeng could only cover it up by swearing. own shock.

"No, we have to ask the company headquarters for help, at least two more squads will be sent over, no, three squads!" Zhou Dapeng, who had finished scolding the Japanese, quickly realized that he was about to call for the messengers.

"It's useless, Brother Peng! Believe it or not, today is not just our place, but the Japanese army in other areas will definitely invest heavily. There are only two squads in the company commander's hands now, and they can't all patronize our place." Although Tu Yunsheng is very Young but very assertive, he shook his head slightly.

"Besides, before the Japanese attack, they will definitely cover our position with artillery fire. There are only two anti-aircraft holes in total. It is difficult to stuff 30 of us. The other brothers are coming, where to hide?"

"Then what should we do? There are so many little devils." Zhou Dapeng's face was full of bitterness.

What he just saw was no less than 300 Japanese soldiers, and there may be more in the future. Let alone how strong the Japanese army is, this number alone makes even him, a veteran who has experienced countless battlefields, feel terrified.

"Let's fight first, then we'll fight him like a dog!" Tu Yunsheng had a murderous look on his face. "If the Japanese army's offensive is strong, then we will bring the Japanese army closer to fight, concentrate all the submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles in the first trench, and then the brothers in the second trench will drop bombs to suppress it! If the Japanese army can still rush into the trench, then only Can use bayonets to fight hand-to-hand, leave the signal soldiers to fire signal flares, and ask the company headquarters to find mountain artillery and company artillery to cover the mountain positions."

"Okay! I'll listen to you." Zhou Dapeng's eyes twitched wildly, but he could only agree with his teeth gritted.

Now he finally knew why the company commander Li Jiujin specifically confessed to him before going to the battlefield, and after arriving at the 209.1 highland, Tu Yunsheng, the squad leader of the 4th squad, was the first commander.

He was above Tu Yunsheng in terms of military rank and seniority, but his ruthlessness was really inferior to this infantry squad leader who was half a year younger than him.

If this guy survives the battle, his promotion to sergeant is a certainty, and he even has a chance to become a second lieutenant platoon leader.

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

The artillery fire covered by the Japanese army on the high ground was much more terrifying than yesterday. It was 16 mountain artillery plus 2 infantry artillery and 2 mortars!

Of course, it's not just the 209.1 highland, it should be a sea of ​​flames on all positions of the 7th company.

The range of 1800 12 mountain guns of a Japanese artillery brigade moving 75 meters to the southwest is just enough to reach this area.

However, these were all within Li Jiujin's expectations. When the 7th Company built the anti-aircraft tunnels on the high ground, it specially studied the possible areas of the Japanese artillery, and built the anti-battery tunnels in areas that could avoid the firing range of the Japanese artillery.

The anti-bunker hole made of sandbags and logs may not be able to defend against 105 howitzers, but it can still defend against 75MM mountain artillery. Therefore, in the Japanese army's 20-minute artillery preparation, the casualties were not too large.

But this time the Japanese army actually played with infantry and artillery coordination. On the high ground of the seventh company, more than 1000 Japanese troops braved the shells that fell from the hillside from time to time and attacked upwards.

Especially on the 209.1 highland, the Japanese army actually invested 4 waves, with a total of 300 infantry, densely packed like a group of locusts hiding in the smoke and attacking upwards.

Amidst the piercing iron whistle, the soldiers of the Seventh Company who avoided the artillery on the high grounds rushed into the trenches at the risk of being hit by shells, and the 60-force teams in each platoon also started to fire support at the risk of being smashed to pieces.

Because, in order to facilitate the retrieval of shells, the shell boxes are piled up less than 15 meters away from the artillery team. Once they are detonated, no one will survive within a radius of 30 meters.

The three 80mm howitzers belonging to the third battalion also raised their muzzles high and began to provide fire support to the three important highlands of the 7th company.

For a while, Chinese mortars exploded on the hillside, and Japanese artillery bombarded the area on the top of the mountain. In the restricted area where no one should have appeared, the dark blue and khaki figures of Chinese and Japanese soldiers loomed in the smoke.

In front of the 209.1 highland, when 30 soldiers rushed into their respective trenches, they could see that the nearest Japanese army was no more than 20 meters away. The fully armed Japanese army only needed [-] seconds at most to rush into the position.

The soldiers could even clearly see the fierce eyes under the Japanese helmets.

At this time, although the Japanese artillery slowed down the rate of fire, there were still a lot of shells falling on the position.Although the soldiers had tried their best to hide their bodies in the trenches, some unfortunate soldiers were hit by shrapnel or blown away by the shock wave because the shells fell too close.

The MG34 machine gun fire team is in a machine gun bunker built with great effort on the high ground. It is the most ferocious firepower on the whole high ground and must not be lost easily.

But this also means that the machine gun has a large number of dead ends. Although the MG34 machine gun has begun to roar, the Japanese army quickly found an area to avoid the shooting range of the machine gun after paying more than a dozen casualties, and still rushed forward in large numbers.

The Japanese light machine gunner lying crouched 200 meters away also seemed to be desperate. He set up the light machine gun and fired at the position.

Even if three machine gun shooters in a row were smashed into sieves by the MG34 heavy machine guns on the ground, the remaining light machine guns were still roaring, causing a cloud of dust to rise from the ground that was already full of gunpowder.

The gunfire on the position was embarrassing, and the Japanese infantry took the opportunity to rush forward more than 20 meters.

"Onboard!" The roar almost overwhelmed the blazing gunfire.

Obviously, the Japanese army was stimulated by their crazy commander to desperately.

However, they are not the only ones who are not afraid of death.

The soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment can also risk their lives.

Tu Yunsheng's eyes widened and he roared sharply: "Damn, shoot me all, fuck him a bitch."

After finishing speaking, he put the MP28 submachine gun that had been hanging around his neck on the trench, with his shoulder firmly against the butt, trying his best to stabilize the muzzle that was about to keep jumping due to continuous shooting, and pulled the trigger frantically shooting.

Even if a cannonball exploded more than [-] meters away from him, and his body trembled violently while the sky was smashed down with mud and rocks, it didn't stop him from pulling the trigger.

Blood seeped fiercely from his back through the military uniform.

A soldier who was only three or four meters away turned his head and saw the blood on Tu Yunsheng's back. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Squad leader, you are injured." rushed over.

"Fuck off, beat you bastard, I've kept the count for you! You bastard has only killed three so far, and it's not even enough for the guests, why invite me to dinner." The sergeant squad leader who was in a frenzy Kicking over the first class soldier who was running over with one kick, he roared angrily while staring at the battlefield without looking back.

"Squad leader!" The soldier looked at the blood flowing behind Tu Yunsheng, and the black ashes on his face were washed away by two tears.

"What cat piss is leaking, get the hell out of here. Get out of here." Tu Yunsheng's eye sockets were wider than ever.

The soldier touched his tears, rushed back to his battle position, pulled the trigger, fired, and fired desperately.The previous fear in the artillery fire seemed to be completely forgotten at that moment.

This is the battlefield, if you don't work hard, you will die, if you just bleed, then it's a ball!
The Japanese army marched forward under artillery fire.

Soldiers of the four-row regiment, shooting against the artillery fire.

Whether on or off the battlefield, soldiers kept falling down, some were shot down by guns, and some were swept down by the blast of artillery fire.

This tragedy, which was even beyond Li Jiujin's expectations, lasted for nearly 10 minutes.

The two armies that were already considered the most tenacious on the battlefield in eastern Jin were competing to see who would be the first to be unable to bear the casualties.

What kind of firepower, what kind of artillery fire, is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the will.

When your comrades in the same robe are dripping blood in front of you, you can still pick up the gun and shoot at your enemies until the bullets or shell fragments flying from nowhere send you on the way to follow your comrades.This kind of rock-solid will cannot be trained by training, only the battlefield can give it.

The Japanese have been so stimulated by the bowing and respectful sending of their own captain of the Dazuo Alliance that they have forgotten their fear of death!

Become a completely brainwashed tool man!
The Chinese, on the other hand, are an iron army that has truly been tempered in the fierce war.

It's not because I'm not afraid of death, but because the country is broken and the mountains and rivers are alive, and my friends are dying by my side, I would also like to accompany them!

bring it on!Damn it, I'm not afraid of you!

"I don't want the number of casualties, but the number of people who can still fight!" Li Jiujin's words to the three infantry platoon leaders on the phone were as cold as an iceberg.

But only the communications soldiers of the company headquarters know what the real company commander Li looks like.

Li Jiujin, who put down the phone, had red eye circles, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes, but he only asked the battalion headquarters for artillery support and then gritted his teeth without saying a word.

The Black Star pistol had already been inserted into the gun pouch. If he hadn't had to sit in command, and the last two infantry squads hadn't been thrown out, he might have rushed to the front line long ago.

Under the fierce attack of more than a thousand Japanese troops regardless of cost, in just 10 minutes, the three infantry platoons under his command lost nearly 60 people, 1 second lieutenant platoon leader was seriously injured, 2 sergeant squad leaders, and 5 deputy squad leaders died!

The loss in the 10-minute battle actually exceeded the sum of yesterday's day!
The stretcher soldiers who were specially transferred to support the medical company of the third battalion became the busiest group of people on the battlefield besides combat soldiers.

Their task is to carry the fallen officers and soldiers down the mountain in the shortest possible time, whether they are sacrificed or wounded.

The artillery fire of the Japanese army did not grow eyes and only killed soldiers. Entering the position meant casualties.There were no less than 10 stretcher soldiers wearing red cross armbands who were blown away by the artillery fire that fell into the trenches.

But Da Ya, who was the captain of the flank medical rescue team this time, just wiped his tears and continued to order the stretcher team behind the position to go to the position.

The 'Guaiguai' whose body is already dripping with blood and whose flesh is still hanging on the fat pork leg is also treated in the same way!
No matter how popular it is, at this moment of war, a wild boar who has entered the army is also a soldier.

In this long national war that has no end in sight, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed.

Regardless of humans and animals, or once magnificent mountains and rivers!
In 5000 years of China, you can fail, you can sacrifice everything, but you can't be conquered!
'Guaiguai' has completely recovered its true color as a wild boar now, covered in dust as if it had just climbed out of a mud pond and dried up in the sun, baring its teeth and howling constantly to relieve the pain, it is hung with a stretcher cart, and the stretcher soldiers put the wounded on it Once released, a few belts with hooks were used to fix the wounded man. This guy was lame on one leg, and he dragged it up with three legs and ran away.

Or say that animals have a much stronger instinct for avoiding danger than humans, obediently entered the position four times in a row, dragged away the corpses and the wounded four times, and they were unscathed, and their physical strength was not lost. The stretcher soldier who rescues the most wounded by a single soldier on the battlefield.

No wonder Da Ya, who was drenched in blood and didn't know whether it was her own blood or the blood of the wounded, who also entered the battlefield in person, specially threw a few toffees she had saved as a reward for it.

"Humph! Humph!" Guaiguai put the rewarded toffee in his mouth next to a young soldier it brought back.

The biological instinct makes it feel that its human friends should need this delicious food more.

"Guaiguai" imitated his boss Hammer, licking the young soldier's pale face with his tongue, trying to wake him up.

It's just that it didn't know that when it dragged the young soldier down the mountain, the shrapnel that penetrated the young soldier's heart had already taken his life away.

Warmth, can't stop the cold from coming!
Seeing this scene, a female nurse from Pingbei City couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears!

It turned out that this was the true face of the battlefield.

But the cruel battle will not stop because of sadness!
