Flesh and blood flew everywhere in the river valley for a while!
There were no heart-breaking screams, because all the sounds were drowned out by the muffled thunderous explosions and the incessant gunshots.
Not to mention that most of the remaining Japanese troops in the river valley had blood flowing from their ears. I don’t know how many people’s ears were deafened by the loud noise of the explosive packs that kept blasting. Even the Chinese soldiers on the mountains had their ears stuffed with cotton. At this time
There was also a buzzing in the ears.
Almost everyone has the feeling that the scene in front of them looks very close, yet seems very far away, giving it an extremely unreal feeling.
This is caused by a certain deviation in the human brain's perception system during the terrifying loud noise.
The Chinese soldiers relied entirely on their military instincts and endured the discomfort to shoot at all visible targets in the valley.
The Japanese soldiers inside were completely in chaos. Some hid behind rocks, curled up into a ball as low as possible, and completely resigned themselves to fate. Others were full of a strong desire to survive, crawling on the ground using their hands and feet, hoping to find them.
One is the safest position; others are frightened by the tragic sight of their companions covered in blood who were hit by air waves or stone fragments very close by, and they run wildly in an attempt to leave this area that is being wildly harvested by the death scythe.
Such people often die the fastest...
Calmness is the only skill that can escape hell.
Takeuchi Yunshan, who woke up from the panic, was one of the relatively calm Japanese soldiers.
"Order the 1st Squadron of the 5th Group to rush out of the valley at all costs and join the vanguard squadron in front to seize the commanding heights on both sides of the valley. The remaining infantry squadrons and heavy machine gun squadrons of the 5th Group, the artillery squads and the two 94 armored vehicles still in the valley immediately
Establish a blocking position on the spot to prevent the Chinese on the mountain from rushing down. The Chinese cannot maintain such intensity of firepower all the time.
At the same time, the 3rd Squadron of the 4th Infantry Group, under the cover of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons, attacked the Chinese on the mountains on both flanks. The 4th Squadron immediately retreated back with the escort squadron of the wing headquarters and guarded the valley to prevent the Chinese.
Cut off my escape route." Takeuchi Yunshan calmed down and ordered in the loudest voice to the staff officer and the major captain who had been following him closely.
"In addition, the signal corps is ordered to send a signal to His Excellency, the Captain of the Kunizaki Detachment, saying that our regiment was ambushed by the main force of the Chinese in the Laojinkeng area. The number of enemy troops ambushing our unit is at least 3,000. We request tactical guidance and ask Your Excellency, the Captain of the Detachment, to dispatch as soon as possible.
Reinforcement support, if possible, our wing needs air support."
Not only is Takeuchi Unzan's mind strong enough, but his mind is also very clear. When faced with such a catastrophic situation, he can also make rational and correct analysis and judgment.
He used two infantry squadrons to counterattack up the ridge, and then used two infantry squadrons and a heavy machine gun squadron to establish positions in the valley to prevent the Chinese soldiers from rushing down and fighting hand-to-hand. This is not to say that he is afraid of hand-to-hand fighting with the Chinese, but that with today's
The Japanese army's military situation and morale will suffer further losses if this is done.
And as long as he can stand firm, the shortcomings of the Chinese army's insufficient ammunition will be fully exposed.
Yes, these are all based on his judgment of the relatively rich combat experience of the Chinese army. The Japanese Army Colonel concluded that the Chinese could not always maintain such intensity of firepower, including the kind of explosives that were still flying and falling in the sky.
Bags are the same.
It's always dark before dawn.
Somehow, when Takeuchi Yunshan thought of this, such a poetic sentence came to his mind.
But it seems very appropriate to the current situation.
The Chicken Soup for the Soul article is really harmful. The Japanese army commander who woke up from the panic drank a sip of chicken soup to himself, waiting for the Chinese army who ambushed him to run out of ammunition. No matter how bruised he was, he could still get it.
Final victory.
Of course, while he was gulping down chicken soup, the Japanese army commander was also very practical.
In addition to counterattacking and holding on to wait for the Chinese attack power to weaken, he also ordered the wing headquarters guard squadron and an infantry squadron to hold the rear route.
These secrets are only known to the Japanese Army Colonel himself, and no one will ever know them again.
Because, there are almost no flaws in his military orders. The 12 heavy machine guns of the 5th Infantry Brigade's most powerful heavy machine gun squadron were left to the Japanese troops who established positions in the valley. There were even artillery squads that could be retained. That was 6
Infantry gun.
In addition, two 94 armored vehicles were allocated. The Japanese army commander almost tried his best to leave the strongest force under his command to the main infantry fighting in the river valley.
But he himself only had two infantry squadrons to guard the rear flank of the army for the entire army.
At first glance, it seems quite heroic and heroic as "the colonel will guard the retreat, and the brothers will be at ease".
Actually! If the situation changes and the chicken soup can't withstand it, then the subtext will change to: If you can't defend it, then you can't defend it! Anyway, I am guarding the back, Colonel.
Takeuchi Yunshan This is a red heart that can be grasped with both hands. If you can do it well, then do it. If you can't do it, he has to save his life.
Anyway, we have learned from the past. Yanagawa Kazuo of the artillery brigade lost more than a dozen cannons. Nothing will happen now. He doesn’t have to go to the battlefield anymore. He can stay in the middle army and have food and drink to nourish himself.
.
As an army commander, what else can Kunizaki do to him? Not to mention that Kunizaki can't do anything to him, even the Songhu Expedition Army Headquarters can't do it. In that case, His Excellency Seishiro Itagaki and the North China Expedition Army Headquarters must make a decision.
In a short period of time, I was able to sort out the ideas and logic in my brain that was almost stunned by the explosives. Whoever said that Takeuchi Yunshan was not a talent, I am afraid that even Amaterasu would not listen to him.
Perhaps, the saying that wisdom arises out of urgency is what this person is talking about!
It has to be said that this Japanese Army colonel who suffered repeated setbacks in front of the Tang Dao was basically the same as the senior officers of the 36th Infantry Brigade who were still walking dozens of kilometers later. His combat achievements were nothing.
!That’s all for others to see, only your life is your own.
This person always has to suffer setbacks before he can understand the true meaning of life! Before being beaten, he always thought that he was the most handsome guy on the battlefield. After being beaten, he realized that he was nothing more than a feather in his mouth!
How could he be called a regimental commander? Even at this moment, there were people of all ages around Takeuchi Yunshan. Staff officers, communications officers, and escort infantry were scattered around, dozens of people in total.
They were very lucky. They had a quick-thinking commander who immediately chose a hiding place, which was right in the blank area of the explosive pack. In the fierce bombing that lasted for more than three minutes, the casualty ratio was the lowest among the group.
Therefore, when the Japanese Army Colonel issued military orders with a clear mind, the people responsible for recording and transmitting military orders were not only young and old, but also seven or eight signal corpsmen alone.
The communication efficiency of the Japanese army is actually not much higher than that of the Chinese army. Even below the brigade level, it has to rely entirely on two short legs.
When the seven or eight signal troops who braved the hail of bullets and turbulent air waves to convey the military orders of His Excellency Colonel left, their Colonel captain had already led hundreds of infantry around him to quickly turn around and headed 500 meters behind like a big lock to lock the river valley.
The locked cliff rushed away.
However, Takeuchi Yunshan's shrewd mind and his wish to receive tactical guidance and support from land and air were in vain.
The signal soldiers who were marching with the 4th Group Headquarters and the field radio they carried with them had already been swept up into the sky by the turbulent air waves in the first round of attacks, and turned into parts on the ground after landing.
The communications soldier who was following closely behind the wing headquarters and was in charge of the wing's field radio station was being stared at by Niu Er, who was several hundred meters away.
The moment the first explosive package hit the ground and exploded, Niu Er's Type 38 rifle with a scope fired.
In order to ensure the hit rate and completely destroy the Japanese field radio, Kuroko's MG34 and the grenade fired together.
Radio stations and people are both targets.
Although the distance of 500 meters is far enough, the independent battalion's second sharpshooter plus a machine gun that can fire dozens of rounds of bullets within 3 seconds and a three-round grenade are enough to ensure a hit rate.
When the smoke from the explosive packs began to fill the valley, the Japanese radio signal soldier fell.
He was hit by at least three bullets, one 6.5MM rifle bullet belonging to Niu Er, and two 7.92 caliber bullets belonging to the machine gun.
The 500-meter space allows the kinetic energy of the bullet to be released to the maximum extent. The machine gun bullet that hit the chest directly blasted a hole the size of a tea cup in the chest of the Japanese signal soldier.
There was little use of the first-aid kits of the Japanese troops around him. The Japanese signal soldier who was shot three times just trembled for a few times and exhaled a long breath before dying.
What made the captain's communications officer who came to convey His Excellency the Colonel's military order even more distressed was that the Chinese were so despicable. In addition to beating people, they also called the field radio carried on the backs of the communications soldiers.
The man was only hit by three bullets, but the field radio was ravaged by at least six or seven bullets. Although it was not smashed into pieces, looking at the several large holes in the radio and the exposed remains of electronic parts, the Japanese captain also knew that
At the moment, he can't even think of sending a word to the detachment headquarters.
He only hoped that the field radios equipped by the two infantry brigades could still be used, but now, he had to find them first.
Looking at the river valley that was still being ravaged by explosives thrown by the Chinese, the Japanese captain's communications officer's eyes were filled with stars. If he went to find someone at this point, the chance of death would be higher than 80%.
