Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1145 Blossom Battle!

"Teacher, did we win?"

This was the first sentence that Fang Shiheng, who was in a coma, opened his eyes, felt the warm sunshine, and saw Teacher Xiao He's gratified smile.

"Yes, we won!" Teacher Xiao He nodded to affirm the student's question.

As the former leader of the student union and the backbone of the arsenal, Fang Shiheng showed enough courage to take responsibility in this battle. He still tenaciously took his own ammunition and shot until he was shot in the chest even though he suffered several injuries. fall down.

Teacher Xiao He said that famous sentence with tears in his eyes when he saw the seriously injured and unconscious students, and took over the light machine gun left by the three-person team, and emptied the last four 4-round magazines.

Fortunately, the bullet that hit Fang Shiheng miraculously avoided the heart and aorta. Fang Shiheng, who was supposed to be placed in the corpse queue, was found to be still breathing weakly. After being bandaged to stop the bleeding, he miraculously woke up in the early morning.

How can this make Teacher Xiao He, who has been worried about him, not happy?
"What about Yuanren and them?" Fang Shiheng instinctively asked his classmates who fought side by side.

Teacher Xiao He's smile froze on his face, tears flickered in his big round eyes!
As the supreme commander of this team, she shouldn't be so vulnerable, but those lying there are all her students!

Those young people who were immersed in studying and actively asking questions in the classroom, and those young people who spoke passionately about their ideals on campus, now they have become cold corpses. As their teachers and leaders, Xiao He How can the teacher not be sad?

Fang Shiheng, who was hit by two bullets and four grenade shrapnel and was in severe pain, did not shed tears, but when he saw tears in his teacher's eyes, two bean-sized teardrops quietly emerged from this teacher who had already experienced the flames of war. The corner of the trained student leader's eyes slipped and he slammed hard on the grass under the stretcher.

There is no victory without sacrifice!

The cruel battlefield once again verified Tang Tuanzuo's famous saying!

Although a brigade of Japanese light infantry that entered Erdaoliang was almost completely wiped out, this "no-name army" armed with heavy firepower also suffered a lot.

The 100 light machine guns have almost used up all the bullets they carried, leaving less than 20.00 rounds, and the grenades have less than [-]% of the ammunition left, which means that the light machine gun company and the grenade company are almost out of combat effectiveness!
But even more sad is the loss of personnel!

Since the Japanese army did not have heavy firepower, the most destructive ones were grenadiers and light machine guns, as well as the three Type 92 heavy machine guns that were blown up by grenade fire attacks when the war started.

It was also one of the best masterpieces of Lao Tantai, who was in charge of personally commanding the grenade company to fight. It was under his order that the grenade company assembled 1 rifle grenade squads to focus on the positions of the Japanese heavy machine guns in the first minute before the start of the battle. .

Firing more than 150 grenades, the 3 heavy machine guns and the shooter were blown into pieces. If not, if the 3 92-type heavy machine guns were allowed to fire, the loss might be 30.00% higher than it is now.

But even so, the 'non-named army' who participated in the war still killed 76 people, seriously injured 189 people, and slightly injured more than 200 people.

Among them, as many as 13 student technicians died in battle, and 28 were seriously injured, almost reaching half of the technicians who participated in the battle.

Originally, most of the technicians were assigned to the anti-aircraft artillery company and the infantry artillery company, and there were not many rifle grenade and light machine gun companies. It was not meant to protect anyone, but the technicians were more familiar with the performance indicators of artillery. In order to prevent workers and militiamen from having ideas , A group of student soldiers represented by Fang Shiheng took the initiative to choose to enter the two more dangerous companies.

They were very brave. They came close to the front line and participated in the battle. 80 people died, 13 were seriously injured and 28 were seriously injured. The casualty rate exceeded half, far exceeding the number of workers and militiamen. Only then won the final victory in this firepower covering the battlefield.

However, when the returned Tang Dao walked up to the dozens of piles of fresh earth that were finally transported back to the martyrs cemetery for burial, he lingered for a long time and refused to leave!
Tang Dao knew that the choice made by the two teachers and Chu Shaoyun was not wrong. If the more than 1000 Japanese troops were allowed to bypass the rear wing of Qingshiyan, although it would not immediately cause the collapse of Qingshiyan's defense line, Qingshiyan would never have a chance to last until the cows With the arrival of the second-class people, the vitality of the entire 4th Battalion is zero!

Although the Japanese army may not have the opportunity to chase and kill all the people who evacuated into the deep mountains, the garrison that took half a year to operate will definitely be blown into ruins, and the blow to the Four Elements Group is equally heavy.

They succeeded, using a surprise army that neither the commanders of China and Japan had planned, but with more than 200 casualties, they helped the Qingshiyan line of defense defend the rear flank and bought time for the reinforcements to arrive.

In the history of war, it was definitely an amazing battle!
However, Tang Dao also knew what the country had lost.

Without this battle, the dozen or so students who died would most likely become the pillars of the country's scientific research community in more than ten or twenty years. The person who is equal to the five divisions'.

But, because of this battle, all the glorious youth and bright future vanished!

You say, is this really worth it?Still not worth it?

It is precisely because of knowing the future that even if he is as open-minded as a Tang knife, he has fallen into self-blame and guilt.

As Tang Dao's fiancée, Tantai Mingyue rarely saw Tang Dao blame himself so much, so she had to call her father to comfort her.

"Uncle, this is all my fault. I underestimated the Japanese too much. If I hadn't been too confident, they wouldn't have died. If they were alive, they would have the opportunity to create much higher value than the entire Four Elements Group Yes." Tang Dao sat beside a tombstone with a sigh.

That was a student named Feng Yuanren. Tang Dao knew him very well. He was born in a rich family named Feng in Hunan Province. Young people have imagination and creativity that amazed even Tang Dao. After Tang Dao proposed the design idea of ​​the rocket launcher, young people from Hunan Province prepared a rocket propulsion engine research group with the support of Mr. Xiao He, and proposed a solid fuel concept.

If nothing else, his future is unimaginable!But now, all the talents and learning have turned into clouds and smoke!

"Tang Dao, I know you are sad, but I don't want to comfort you. This is your responsibility as a commander and a comrade-in-arms." Tantai Yun Shuqing, who seemed to be ten years old in the past month and even had gray hair Gently stroking the wooden tombstone in front of him, just like patting the shoulders of students on the campus in the past.

"I just want to tell you one thing, the people lying here are not only my students from Jinling University, but also my students from Tantai Yunshu, they are even Chinese.

We soldiers, when the foreign invaders invaded, fought bravely against the shrouded body of horse leather and returned, which is to fulfill our duty as a soldier.

And we Chinese people must never hide behind the soldiers and sit and watch the soldiers build the Great Wall with their flesh and blood under the gunfire of Japanese pirates. That is the Great Wall of China, not just for soldiers.

Therefore, that is also my duty!

Without a brave and sacrificial struggle, how can we talk about achievements and the future?Yuan appointed them, just seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence. "

Those words were like enlightenment, and Tang Dao suddenly realized!
Ever since he came to this era, he suddenly had a sense of mission for no reason, as if he wanted to shoulder the entire responsibility of killing the enemy and defending the country on his shoulders.

But he seems to have forgotten that this is his country, but it is not his country alone. The key to winning this war, just like in that time and space, is that the whole country is a soldier!

. . . . . . . . . .

"What? Great victory in the rear, wiped out more than 1000 Japanese troops?" Shangguan Yun was shocked when he received the news. He asked a lieutenant infantry platoon leader he sent to support the rear several times before he really believed it.

"Send power to the regiment headquarters, and I want to ask for credit from the regiment chief, Director Tantai, and the others. If we can hold the line of defense this time, the guard regiment formed by the station will be the first to contribute!" Shangguan Yun's fair face flushed red with extreme excitement . "In addition, inform the whole battalion that the enemy in the rear wing has been completely wiped out by our army, and the rear wing has no worries!"

The morale of all the officers and soldiers of the 4th Battalion, who had been fighting fiercely for several days, was greatly boosted!
And Kuyone Tianshiro, who heard the sound of guns and guns in the distance, had been looking forward to it all night, but he didn't receive the bad news until the afternoon of the 13th!
The detachment of the rear-wing light infantry brigade was ambushed by the Chinese and led to a major defeat. Major Chiori Baihui brought 5 captains, squadron leaders, 16 lieutenants and second lieutenants to the battle.

More than 1400 troops and less than a hundred people fled!

The reason why the Japanese army counted less than 1100 people, while the Chinese side counted that they killed less than [-] people, is not because both sides are ignorant of numbers.

But there are too many ditches in the Taihang Mountains, especially at night in such an environment with extremely poor visibility, and the Japanese army did not dare to light the fire. In panic, I don’t know how many fell into the deep ditch.

It's fine to fall to death on the spot, I'm afraid of breaking my arms and legs, once I lose the ability to move, I don't know what the result will be in this wild place.

With the end of the Dakouzi Cave defensive battle, Shangguanyun once organized a small-scale reconnaissance operation to prevent the remaining Japanese troops from lurking, and finally found more than a hundred wreckages in many cliffs and rubble piles.

After inspection, some of the wreckage showed signs of being eaten by wild wolves, but more of the wreckage had no other injuries except for broken limbs or gunshot wounds. Presumably, they were thirsty to death on the spot after falling from a high altitude and losing their mobility. .

In the Taihang Mountains, there was little rain in the autumn, and there was not a single drop of rain in the past half a month, so that many Japanese corpses were stuffed with weeds, but it was hard to swallow. It is completely conceivable that they were desperate before they died.

As for the other nearly 108 people who disappeared, it seems that they have never appeared. In response to the battle reports that were published in newspapers sponsored by the Second War Zone with great fanfare, the [-]th Division can only include these [-] people in the list of missing persons.

Many years after the war, during a geological expedition to the Taihang Mountains organized by a Chinese university, a large number of human bones and weapon fragments were discovered in an uninhabited valley covered by bushes.

In the end, after identity plate identification and modern DNA testing, it was determined that nearly a hundred of the bones were left by the Japanese invaders.

Combined with the battlefield records in the Taihang Mountain area of ​​the War History Museum, nearly [-] people listed as missing by the Japanese army at that time were finally found.

But they were the strength of two infantry squads anyway, so how could they be wiped out in a small valley?Not to mention the Japanese, even the Chinese are a little confused.

In the end, the local old people in Taihang Mountain gave the answer. The valley is called Snake Valley, which is famous for producing a variety of precious Chinese medicines, but few people have dared to set foot in it. There are so many poisonous snakes in it that they stand on the peak in the early morning When looking down from the top, I feel that the valley is steaming, and the faint fishy smell makes people dizzy just by smelling it.

Thinking about it, nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers rushed into Snake Valley in a panic at night. Facing the raging snakes, the weapons they carried were useless, and their vision was poor at night, so the group was wiped out.

The skeleton was covered by bushes that grew day after day and year after year, even if someone passed by by chance, they would not find it, and it was not discovered by a fully equipped scientific expedition team until more than [-] years later.

If the Japanese soldiers who fled the battlefield knew that they would encounter this kind of death, they might rather stay on the battlefield and fight to the death, which would definitely be much more enjoyable than dying of thirst and starvation.

Unfortunately, there has never been an if in this world.

The dead Japanese infantrymen were actually quite happy. At least they would not be escorted to the battlefield by the furious Kuyoneda Shiro with heavy machine guns like their colleagues, and then be swept down by bullets.
The support troops of the light machine gun company and the grenade company, except the wounded, were stopped by Shangguan Yun himself before entering Qingshiyan.

As a commander, Shangguan Yun knew very well that the success of the Erdaoliang ambush was actually a great coincidence. There was not only the advantage of fire coverage, but it was more due to the Japanese army's unfamiliarity with the terrain and their lack of even a little help. A heavy fire counterattack.

If these troops composed of students, workers, and militiamen were allowed to rush to the Qingshiyan battlefield, the death and injury rate would be absolutely appallingly high.

In the worst-case scenario where the Qingshiyan defense line has not yet reached, he must not let these people go up to die easily.

Therefore, under his insistence, the light machine gun company and the grenade company handed over 70.00% of the machine guns and grenades to Shangguanyun, and the spare personnel were equipped with rifles. The anti-aircraft artillery company and the infantry artillery company that had to go around after being bombed by the Japanese plane served as guards.

In other words, after a hard fight with the Japanese light infantry, the two companies turned into transport teams and handed over dozens of undamaged light machine guns and rifle grenades to the frontline troops, and successfully completed this "unknown name" Army' historical mission.

At least that's what Shangguan Yun and others thought at the time.

Moreover, although the unexpectedly increased light firepower could not directly dominate the battlefield, it definitely greatly enhanced the front-line firepower output.

Shangguan Yun ordered that each infantry squad add an extra light machine gun and a rifle grenade.

How and when to use it is up to the infantry squad leader to decide.

Although the front-line infantrymen are all red-eyed, the infantry squad leaders are all veterans. They are absolutely old silver coins on the battlefield. They have been hiding these unexpectedly increased firepower until the Japanese army began to charge desperately. output!
Faced with the sudden increase of dozens of light machine gun firepower points and the overwhelming number of grenades, the Japanese army was almost not beaten to tears!

Is there any reason?Is there still Wang Fa?Why is it that the more machine guns are used, the more machine guns are fired?
From the news that the light infantry brigade was finished to the sunset, within 3 hours, the Japanese army launched up to six waves of strong attacks crazily.

Among them, the "door bolt" position is still the main attack direction of the Japanese army. Under the command of Fan Mobei, less than 30 infantry repelled five waves of Japanese attacks in a row. In the last round of the battle, only 12 people were still able to fight on the position, and the seriously injured With up to 6 people, Fan Mobei, who was crazy about killing, was forced to resort to a "blossom war" tactic.

The so-called flowering battle means that Fan Mobei gave up the edge of the position and huddled the remaining 18 people on the core position with a circle of only a few hundred meters above the position, like the stamen of a flower, and the surroundings of the position are like petals.

No matter from which angle they stood, the Japanese army thought that they were about to win the attack, as long as they finally annihilated a small group of Chinese army remnants located inside the highlands.

As a result, nearly 200 Japanese soldiers from more than one infantry squadron viciously outflanked the occupied position from three directions, vowing to kill the last dozen or so Chinese soldiers who were still resisting in this area where they paid more than 700 casualties. on the ground.

After 2 minutes, the confident little Karamis were stunned.

As the name suggests, the 'doorbolt' position is an important place to lock the gate of the entire defense line, but it is also a synonym for small.

The 4th Battalion had no more than 60 troops when it was placed in this position, but the Japanese army was lucky, and 200 people rushed in at once. It is not like the popular tourist spots in China in the future, which will be crowded with people every peak tourist season They are next to each other, but the distance between individual soldiers will never exceed one meter.

On the battlefield, this is simply courting death, a shuttle of bullets sweeps over, it is quite like piercing human flesh on skewers, at least five or six people will be shot.

But at this point in the battle, the 12 people on the battlefield who were still fighting along with Fan Mobei were no longer submachine guns or light machine guns, and the worst was semi-automatic rifles. The sudden concentrated fire beat all the little Karamis to their knees. .

But this is not the essence of the "blossom war" tactics. The most important thing is to have mortars, 9 60mm mortars, 3 82mm mortars, and 3 80mm howitzers. The 'petal' area of ​​the bolt position is covered by artillery fire.

This is undoubtedly a desperate tactic, but if one or two shells fall into the "flower stamen", the 12 Chinese officers and soldiers and 6 seriously wounded who can still fight will undoubtedly die.

But in Fan Mobei's original words: "If you don't fight, you will die. If you fight, you can save a little more life from the Japanese devils. Anyone else will choose this way!"

Fortunately, the infantry battalion of the Four Elements Regiment is equipped with small-caliber mortars. It may not be possible to guarantee that the impact error of the shells will be within 10 meters, but at least it can be guaranteed to be within 30 meters. "Flower stamen", the nearest shell to the Chinese soldiers, also exploded 10 meters outside the trench.

200 Little Karami probably never dreamed that the Chinese would do this. When there were still people in his position, he came to cover him with artillery fire, and he was blown out of his ass.

Two minutes later, as three red flares rose into the sky, the artillery fire stopped, and 2 Chinese soldiers rushed out with burst firearms. In the frenzied stream of bullets, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers were driven out of their positions.

Nearly a hundred corpses were left on the battlefield!
Blossom battle to become famous!
Even after this tactic was spread to the headquarters of the Sixing Regiment, on the main battlefield of Niangziguan, the third battalion in charge of defending the high ground on the flanks used it as many as 4 times. A wave of mortars concentrated fire and beat the Japanese infantry into a dilemma. , even if it really occupies the position, the balls will shrink.
