"Bang!" A gunshot!
Shock the world!
After the war, in the battle report of the 129th Division, this shot may be the key factor that truly changed this inconspicuous battlefield in eastern Shanxi.
Yes, compared to the large-scale battles in the past few months on the battlefield in eastern Shanxi where both sides frequently invested thousands or even tens of thousands of troops, in this battle that broke out in the mountains to the west of Licheng, China and Japan only invested a total of 350 troops.
The battle is almost negligible.
But this was the most bloodless battle among all the battles of the 129th Division.
Because, until the battle became intense, the four soldiers of the 386th Brigade, the main force participating in the battle, who were on the battlefield at this time, had not even fired a single shot.
However, the infantry squadron under the 108th Infantry Regiment of the 108th Division lost their top commander.
The flying bullet hit the bright light reflected by the sun without fail!
After the 7.62mm caliber warhead penetrated the 2.5x double glass, it was severely deformed and flipped violently, but this did not damage it and mercilessly crashed into the face of the human body behind the lens!
The deformed and flipped warhead still possessed terrifying kinetic energy, so much so that after smashing into the relatively hard human facial bones, the warhead penetrated the back of the head and 'exploded' a hole nearly the size of a cup.
This is what the Japanese infantry discovered when they rushed towards their captain and squadron leader after a brief period of shock and tried to carry him away.
The huge hole was flowing with red, pink, white, gray and other unknown colors of liquid, allowing the Japanese infantry to understand the rich colors contained in the human skull.
Perhaps only the world's top brain experts in the future can tell them that when humans are still alive, most areas of the brain are pink and almost cute. The pink color flowing out at this time proves the freshness of the brain, while the gray color controls the entire brain.
Of the neurons in the human body, white is the spinal cord, which is responsible for transmitting neuron signals. Red is of course blood, and the brain needs blood supply to keep it fresh.
But now, ‘they’ have all flowed out!
Hojo returns to Hayabusa and dies!
The 2nd Infantry Squadron lost their top commander before the main force arrived and the battle actually started!
According to Japanese army regulations, the command will be inherited by an officer second only to Hojo Hayabusa. This can ensure that the army will not fall into chaos due to the loss of its commander.
Therefore, even if Guan Yeshiro was slapped so red at this time that he looked like the Fuwa of Fendudu, he could only be appointed as the supreme commander of this infantry squadron in the face of danger, even if his prestige at this time was not enough to command two troops with far superior strength.
His 1st Infantry Squad, but it could only be him.
Army regulations cannot be violated. This is also the trait that the Japanese Army is most proud of. Their soldiers have the strongest execution ability in the world.
But on this battlefield, it was obvious that this kind of dogmatic execution led them to a dead end.
It was right to hand over the command to Kanno Shiro, even though he was not suitable for command at all with his ability and mentality at this time, but the mistake was that Second Lieutenant Kanye Shiro, who was already despondent and had no fighting spirit, planned to retreat, but was killed by two similar men.
It was the squad leader with the rank of second lieutenant who refused.
They lost their top commander during the war, and this result had already pushed them into a desperate situation. If they went back like this, it would not only be the doomed Kanano Shiro who would be punished, but the two of them would also take the blame.
The only thing that can change the fate of the two of them is to continue fighting, kill all the enemies, and complete the combat mission assigned by the wing headquarters to wreak havoc on the Chinese rear.
Therefore, the two second lieutenants and captains jumped out and denounced Kanano Shiro's cowardly behavior. They believed that his behavior of retreating without a fight would bring shame to the entire 108th Infantry Regiment. They would definitely report his cowardice to the captain.
, having a caesarean section to apologize will be his only way out.
This was also Kanno Shiro's Achilles' heel. He could accept going to a military court and being relieved of all military duties, and embarking on the ship home in a gray state, but he didn't want to die, especially he didn't want to have his belly slashed with a knife, and then watch helplessly.
Watching my large and small intestines rushing out of the peritoneum, I eventually died of pain!
So, he compromised!
A commander who is forced to compromise with his subordinates is a huge mistake in itself, which will make his military orders not taken seriously, even if his military orders are not very wise.
But in a group, when unity is needed, the emergence of several voices is a precursor to danger.
What's more, because the discussion was about continuing the attack and retreating, it took the three second lieutenants of the 2nd Infantry Squadron as many as five minutes to reach an agreement.
At this time, the body of Captain Hojo Hayabusa, who was not far from them, was gradually getting colder.
However, none of the three Japanese Army second lieutenants who were involved in a heated argument once again looked at the former supreme commander who was 'beheaded' before the war started.
No matter how high a person was or how powerful he was during his lifetime, the moment his heart stops beating, he can only lie quietly!
But the Japanese did not know that a Chinese infantry company, after receiving the news that an infantry squadron with nearly 200 troops was viciously attacking the mountain village and was currently being blocked by a force of 9 people, mobilized all its troops and fought desperately.
Come to the battlefield.
Yes, that definitely counts as using up all the troops under your command.
In addition to the four wounded who were still recovering at their fellow villagers' homes, 132 people from the 3rd company of the 772 regiment, including cooks, medical soldiers, and communications soldiers, emptied the ammunition inventory that they had worked hard to save for half a year, and issued bullets to each infantryman.
Ten rounds, four grenades, three machine guns with 300 rounds of ammunition each, marching at full speed, set off from the company headquarters 18 miles away from Yingtou Stream.
Their marching speed is jaw-dropping compared to any army in the world.
This is the Taihang Mountains, the most important mountain range in eastern China. It is even called the geographical dividing line, spanning four provinces in China and stretching for thousands of miles.
It was in such a large mountain, fully armed, that the infantry company actually reached a marching speed of 9 kilometers per hour.
This is definitely a marching speed that is so frightening that the hair on the body will stand on end. In the future Chinese Army assessment, which will be extremely demanding on training results, 26 minutes will be the passing score for a five-kilometer armed cross-country. The vast majority of soldiers have completed this five-kilometer run.
, just like being fished out of water, all physical energy is exhausted.
Some people may say that Chinese soldiers at this time are far less able to carry a load of up to 20 kilograms than future soldiers. However, if Chinese soldiers at this time can eat meat once a month, it is considered a good food, and if they have cornmeal steamed buns to replenish their physical fitness, they are considered happy. The average is not
The height of over 1.65 meters and the poor physical fitness of future soldiers cannot be ignored.
But they were running wildly on the mountain road, carrying guns on their backs and carrying a ridiculously small amount of bullets, and kept moving forward!
I barely stopped for repairs along the way. When I started sweating, I immediately used the water bottle I carried to replenish my water. Then I threw away my most precious water storage equipment without hesitation, except for guns, bullets and grenades.
Because they knew that if they didn't run, four of their comrades would die. No, maybe more people would die.
They were not particularly familiar with Beipo Village, but it was the villagers in this mountain who squeezed out some of the small rations. Many people even knew that those were the seeds that would be broadcast in the coming spring, and they still did not hesitate.
He took them out and fed the tens of thousands of troops active in the mountains.
Without them, everyone would have nothing to eat!
So, they ran, even knowing that there was a battlefield ahead of them with no return!
Brigadier Chen, who saw the battle report after the war, praised them: The 3rd company, with a determined march, created a miracle on the battlefield! It continued the spirit of our army!
Because this is not the first time this army has performed a miraculous march!
During the ten-thousand-mile transfer, in order to quickly seize the Dadu River, a unit of troops marched 160 miles on almost the same mountain road day and night, reaching the battlefield before the enemy's reinforcements arrived at a jaw-dropping marching speed.
And this day and night, we were not marching all the time, there were even several battles, and it rained heavily on the march.
This spirit that scares military experts around the world may really be passed down. In addition to the 3rd Company of the 772nd Regiment, which was inspired by the menacing enemy, in the future Icefield Battle, an infantry regiment of the Chinese Army marched 72.5 miles overnight.
kilometers, overtaking the trucks and tanks of the beautiful country, and arriving at the blocking battlefield ahead of schedule.
Then, the light infantry regiment, which had outrun the truck, was on that mountain peak, and the entire regiment fought to the last nine people.
They won the glory of the "Long Live Army" for their infantry army, but most of them will never be seen or heard again.
But at this moment, the five minutes of stretching by the Japanese officers made the more than 130 Chinese infantrymen who were running all the way run hundreds of meters more.
The door of escape has been closed for a while.
Then, at the suggestion of two Japanese Army second lieutenants, and in accordance with the military order previously issued by Hojo Miharu, five grenade launchers and five machine guns were used to cover each other, and the 2nd and 3rd infantry squads each sent out two squads to attack the two wings.
Heading up the hillside.
The 10 remnants of the 1st Infantry Team naturally used rifles to cover the infantry behind the covers on both sides of the mountain road.
This formed the tactical characteristics of layered cover with light and heavy firepower. When 60 Japanese infantrymen seize the commanding heights and completely suppress the Chinese at the same height, that will be the last day for the Chinese on the opposite side to die.
Undoubtedly, in this tactic, the biggest threat to the Chinese is the five grenade launchers.
Whether it is the powerful machine gun or the Chinese sharpshooters, although they are hiding behind rocks and have a height advantage, bullets pose little threat to them. Grenades that may be accurately thrown 500 meters away are parabolic, as long as they fall to 2
If it explodes at a distance of meters, it can cause damage to it.
This is not too difficult for the Japanese grenadier soldiers who have participated in the entire northern battlefield, and they have as many as 5 grenade launchers. If one grenade launcher cannot do it, then they will have to get an extra grenade launcher.
The Chinese dare to show up.
It doesn't matter if the Chinese fire one shot and change places. It just won't suppress the infantry, which is also what the three Japanese officers need.
In fact, in the early stages of the battlefield, exactly as the three Japanese officers imagined, the Chinese sharpshooters spoke.
Their shooting skills were extremely high. After several consecutive shots, several Imperial infantrymen fell down. The machine guns fired desperately, but they did not pose much of a threat to them.
But the grenadier soldiers who had been waiting for a long time also spoke. Several clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up, and the Chinese sharpshooters misfired.
Even if they were not killed, they were forced to change positions, and no one could easily suppress the infantry's advance up the hillside.
The grenadiers received the lessons of the 1st Infantry Squadron. Captain Hojo's sniper kill with a magical shot made them even more vigilant. They faced the Chinese whose marksmanship was incredible and accurate. Looking at it,
In the entire northern battlefield, we have never encountered such a terrifying gunman.
Therefore, they all huddled behind the rocks. Even when observing the Chinese people's positions, they carefully observed through the cracks in the rocks. No one dared to expose his whole head.
Everyone is hiding, no matter how accurate the gun is, it can still hit people around the corner.
At least, that's what the Japanese think.
So, they were wrong again.
The Chinese are not only sharpshooters and machine gunners, they also have two grenadier shooters who have also participated in countless bloody battles.
The cruel war not only tempered the carefully trained Japanese army, but also forced the Chinese to continue to transform and make progress. Otherwise, there is only a dead end.
The two grenade launchers who were selected into the special operations squadron to serve as fire support were still among the top three in the Four Lines Regiment, a terrifying group with many elite soldiers.
Each had records of launching grenades into the Japanese trenches from 450 meters away!
And, they all come with telescopes!
This is equipment that only the special operations squadron has, and it is also the confidence and bargaining chip that the four-line regiment can have after winning consecutive battles.
In the Battle of Laojinkeng and the Battle on the South Bank of Bihe River, the Japanese army, which killed nearly 6,000 people in total, provided the Fourth Army with about 80 telescopes.
Japanese-style telescopes with excellent quality were either distributed to second lieutenant-level officers of the Fourth Army Regiment or given to special operations squadrons.
The two grenade launchers had been silent, but that didn't mean they had done nothing. They had been calculating the direction of the Japanese grenade launchers to ensure a hit.
Therefore, when Tang Dao and Shen Laoliu were forced to move, the two grenade launchers spoke.
This should be a mutual exchange of grenade launchers that were not too common on the battlefield between China and Japan, initiated by the Chinese grenade launcher.
The sound of grenades fired was not as loud as that of mortars. "Dong! Dong!" The two muffled sounds were very small compared to the fierce gunfire. Even if the Japanese army was highly nervous, it was not enough to attract their attention.
In fact, so what if it attracts attention? The speed of the grenade is only 200 meters per second, and it can cover a distance of about 400 meters. It only takes two seconds. Can it be avoided or what?
Two clouds of gunpowder smoke rose among the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain!
Sand and gravel were splashing everywhere, and four human bodies were thrown up by the air waves!
To be honest, despite accurate calculations, the actual throwing accuracy was not high because the distance was too far. The grenade actually landed about 4 meters away from the two Japanese grenade groups.
However, the grenade load of the Japanese-style grenade can be as high as 140 grams, and the killing radius can reach 5 meters. Compared with the mortar, the killing power is only slightly inferior, which is comparable to the 50 mm and 60 mm used by Western countries.
The mm light mortar is not powerful enough to load 100g shells, otherwise it would not be known as the best infantry support firearm on the Eastern battlefield.
"Baga!" The three Japanese Army second lieutenants huddled behind collectively gasped.
The Chinese actually have grenade launchers, and what's even more terrible is that their hit accuracy is so high that only the first round of test firing destroyed two grenade launcher teams.
What kind of combination of monsters did they encounter?
Are they still the Chinese people they are familiar with?
But there is no room for them to retreat at this time, there are still more than 50 people climbing on the hillside! Is it possible that the Chinese have grenade launchers, so they should be allowed to retreat?
"Baga! Find the location of the Chinese grenades and destroy them!" Kanno Shiro, whose face and heart were swollen, ordered through gritted teeth.
This is definitely a more terrifying existence than a sharpshooter.
Even if a sharpshooter can kill one person with one shot, it will take dozens of shots to kill dozens of people! But what about the grenade? But under the protection of a bunker in the distance, he can easily kill all the light machine guns and grenade fire points at the foot of the mountain.
, even including them behind the stone.
From the current perspective, there is nothing wrong with Kano Shiro's order.
The remaining three Japanese grenades also faithfully accepted the military orders from their supreme commander.
3 VS 2, seems to have the upper hand.
But don't forget that China's two grenade launchers have a geographical advantage. They are nearly 100 meters high. Who is easier to throw bombs from top to bottom or from bottom to top? What's more, the distance between the two sides
Up to 400 meters, plus the height difference, this is almost the effective range limit of the grenade.
This is also the reason why Tang Dao chose to set up a blocking position at this distance.
He could easily kill the Japanese at this distance, but the Japanese couldn't kill him unless they moved forward, but in the process of closing the distance between the two sides, it was enough for him to kill a lot of Japanese infantry.
Tang Tuanzuo doesn't enjoy the pleasure of me being able to kill you, but you can't kill me, but he will never refuse the pleasure of shooting Japanese infantry.
When both sides started throwing grenades at each other, he appeared again with Shen Laoliu, a Mosin-Nagant rifle and a Czech semi-automatic rifle. One was breathtakingly accurate, and the other was not only accurate but also full of firepower.
, killing the Japanese infantrymen who were climbing the mountain.
Then, Heizi also participated in the battle, firing a long burst of hundreds of bullets, which was enough to break the hearts of the two Japanese second lieutenants at the foot of the mountain.
Watching our own infantry climbing the mountain like rabbits randomly shot by the Chinese, I wonder if at that moment they regretted rejecting Second Lieutenant Shiro Kanno's order to retreat.
This is probably a mystery!
Because they don’t have a chance to tell anyone!
The Japanese infantry were forced to retreat.
Then because the Chinese grenade stopped speaking, the three Japanese Army second lieutenants thought that they could do it again, and organized the infantry to climb the mountain again.
An almost similar plot repeats itself again!
The terrible loss of human lives made even Second Lieutenant Shiro Kanno, who had urged the retreat, have red eyes.
If we go back like this, caesarean section will become the only option.
Therefore, the Japanese infantry squadrons above could never go back.
Because, after running wildly for an hour, the 3rd Company of the 772nd Regiment finally arrived at the battlefield!
