The "Tuba Road" who looked like a scumbag in his eyes actually, really, really launched an attack on the infantry brigade.
Moreover, it was after the two infantry brigades entered the canyon.
The gunshots coming from the distant canyon have proved that the "Tubal Road" is hidden on the mountain ridge and has begun to attack the imperial warriors in the canyon. The familiar gunfire of Sanba Daigai shows that the imperial warriors are approaching
Fight back bravely.
However, the appetite of "Tubal Road" is too small! He didn't even wait for the main force of the brigade to enter the canyon before launching an attack?
Of course, they also have to have that appetite. Seeing the signal flares fired by the Chinese army, Yoshio Uetsuki's face turned a little ugly and he calmed down a little, feeling very grateful for his caution.
He knew very well that it was not that the Chinese people's appetite was not big enough, but that the two infantry brigades were spread out enough. If there had not been an infantry squadron that had already walked out of the valley entrance to build field fortifications at the valley entrance according to his own military orders to prevent being attacked, those gangs
It is strange that the "Tuba Road" did not wait for him to lead these thousand people into the canyon before launching an attack.
But now, even if most of the 2,700 main infantry regiments enter the canyon and are at a disadvantage due to the terrain, there are still nearly 4,000 people remaining outside the canyon. He also has an infantry and mountain artillery brigade with one and a half infantry brigade.
, "Tuba Road" will definitely pay a sufficient price for his unwiseness. This time, he must kill these bold "Tuba Road" and the Chinese villagers who dare to cover for them, and his eyes instantly become gloomy
Last month, Liangfu was still sitting firmly on his tall blue-gray horse and gave a stern order: "Order Major Lin Nanyi of the infantry brigade passing through the valley entrance to break through the Chinese positions with all their strength. After defeating them, leave an infantry squadron to defend the valley entrance.
The rest of the troops fought back against the enemies on the ridges of the canyon; ordered the commander of Senmuyin City to advance through at full speed and not to fight with the enemy troops above the canyon. The rest of the troops who did not enter the canyon should use all their strength to seize the commanding heights and defeat the invading enemies as quickly as possible."
It has to be said that the general is a brave soldier. Yoshio Uetsuki, who did not show any panic, stabilized the morale of the brigade headquarters who looked panic-stricken.
Even if a row of mortar shells rained down from the mountain forest hundreds of meters away, "bombing" the infantry still on the mountain road until they howled and hid frantically, the communications soldiers at the brigade and regiment headquarters still methodically dispatched these mortar shells.
The military orders of His Majesty the Major General Brigade Commander were conveyed one by one.
The three infantry squadrons belonging to the 80th Infantry Regiment following the brigade headquarters were also madly climbing up the mountains on both sides under the personal command of Colonel Suzuki Kenji, the captain of the 80th Regiment. They had to rush to China.
People previously occupied the commanding heights.
Not only do we have to kill the damn Chinese, but more importantly, we can no longer stay on the mountain road. The Chinese artillery fire is unexpectedly fierce, with a dozen or more mortar shells falling every second.
In just ten seconds, at least dozens of people were killed by the crazy Chinese shells.
Yes, for the purpose of concealment, the death battalion, bayonet battalion and the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment were deployed at the end of the canyon, including the independent regiment guard platoon at the rear blocking the Japanese army, the 386th brigade guard company, and the independent regiment strong man battalion.
They were all hiding in trenches or in bushes or among woods 500 meters away from the Japanese troops on the mountain road.
The precipitous terrain of the Taihang Mountains is a good place to beat someone from a high position, but it is not a particularly good place for an ambush. The bare mountain ridges are too difficult to hide. If the Japanese army had been more cautious and sent out soldiers to search along the way, they would have discovered it.
Figures of ambushed soldiers.
It can be said that except for the Panshi Battalion, which built blocking fortifications in the terraces and was responsible for blocking the attack at the valley entrance, the remaining more than 4,000 independent regiments and 386 brigade officers and soldiers could only hide in the mountain forests far away from the mountain roads. The farthest distance was even 800 meters.
When the attack signal flares were fired, what many of them had to do was not to shoot hate bullets at the enemy invaders, but to run, run as hard as they could, to get ahead of the enemy and occupy the most advantageous attack position.
Of course, not shooting does not mean that there is no artillery. The bayonet battalion and the death battalion are equipped with a total of 32 large and small caliber mortars. Because this time is not a defensive battle, but an encirclement and annihilation battle, all fire squads and fire platoons are forced to
All artillery fire was used intensively and was under the unified command of each battalion headquarters. The moment the signal flares went up into the sky, the mortar positions that had been prepared took the lead in speaking.
Eight 80-gun guns and 24 60-gun guns poured artillery shells from four artillery positions in two directions at the Japanese troops who had been targeting them for at least an hour.
From the moment the shells fell, Major General Yoshio Uezuki, who had been helped off his horse and hid in a depression by his subordinates, turned ugly. In his heart, he almost greeted all the women in the family of Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishiro Itagaki.
Bian. Baga, is this the "Tuba Road" that he calls extremely poorly equipped? With a density of at least 20 artillery shells per second, you dare to shamelessly say that other people's equipment is extremely poorly equipped. Where is your face?
If you don't win the battle with Baga, you won't win. Why don't you stop talking nonsense like Baga? That Baga will kill people.
The artillery squadron directly under the 80th Infantry Regiment, which followed the 80th Infantry Regiment's wing headquarters, quickly set up its only two 90-caliber mortars to counterattack.
As for the four mountain cannons and the four infantry cannons, I can only say that at the moment. Not to mention that the horses carrying the various parts of the mountain cannons were so frightened by the sound of the cannon that they could hardly hold the reins. Even if the horses were stabilized, the mountain cannons could not hold back.
You have to have time to assemble it, and more importantly, you have to find a suitable position for mounting the gun. The infantry gun is a complete toy, and you have to carry the 210 kilogram iron lump up the mountain. Otherwise, it will be just playing with stones.
?Or, use the laogao with the vertical muzzle as a mortar? The 92 infantry gun does have the function of curve shooting, but it is not versatile enough to completely replace the mortar.
In such mountainous operations, the Japanese army's shortcomings in not having mortars were fully exposed. Within five minutes at least, they would almost have to be beaten.
The two mortars, which had just fired a few rounds and were still in the test firing phase and had not even determined the enemy's artillery position, were soon frightened by the mortar shells that exploded more than 100 meters away from them and moved their positions. 100
Dome may seem far away, but to experienced artillerymen, it is a sign of being targeted by the opponent's artillery. One moment, it may be more than 100 meters away, and the next moment, the rain of shells may hit the top of the head.
The main force of the Japanese army outside the canyon was being beaten while competing with the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment for time to occupy the commanding heights. Although they were beaten to a bruised and swollen face, they were not fatal at least.
But the Japanese troops in the canyon were not so lucky.
Although the Japanese army's communications are not as good as those of European and American countries, they are much stronger than those of China at this time. The infantry brigade level is equipped with field radios. Because they need to pass through the canyon, the two infantry brigade that have entered the canyon and
All three field radios at the 77th Infantry Regiment Wing Headquarters are required to be turned on and can report road conditions to the rear at any time.
Now, not to mention the brigade commander's military order to speed up the advance, even they themselves had to run away.
If you don't run away, it will be really ugly to die.
In this kind of environment, you are still fighting and fighting!
It is difficult for people who have not been in the canyon to understand the mood of the people in the canyon, including Yoshio Shangyue himself. Only if he personally enters the canyon will he know that he specifically ordered not to fight with the Chinese. That is completely
It's just a joke. If you want to say it doesn't make you tremble, then it's probably more accurate.
This canyon that must pass through Qigen Village is more than 40 meters high. If you want to see the top from below, you have to raise your head. Even then, what you see is just a sliver of sky. Even if someone deliberately sticks his head up above.
, and you can’t see it clearly. Then why are you fighting? Are you keeping your head raised and your gun waiting for the Chinese to stick out their heads for you to hit? Will you get cervical spondylosis?
Based on the mentality of the Japanese army who were in a desperate situation at that time, even if the Chinese did not shoot down, just throwing stones would kill a large number of people.
It's a pity that they really underestimated the "Tuba Road" in their eyes.
If they could turn back the time for 30 minutes, they could see nearly a thousand soldiers lurking in the woods at dawn and entering the bushes on the mountain ridges. They were wearing gray military uniforms and gray military caps. Except for the rifles in their hands, no one, no matter the officer or the soldier, was there.
The exception is if you are carrying two large earth-grey bags on your chest and behind your chest.
It is estimated that their slightly stereotyped Asian faces will become European faces, with white spots on their faces and blue eyes.
That was clearly an explosive package...
If there are two per person, it will be a small dynamite pack of two thousand.
Baga, this is going to blow up the mountain!
Of course, the officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 772nd Regiment carrying explosive bags were not here to blow up mountains and mines, they were here to blow up people.
Liu Lang bought it from an old man in Shanxi, and the guilty Army Lieutenant General Comrade Lao Li personally served as the escort. Three trucks of nearly 15 tons were tightly covered with canvas and hauled to Qigen Village. What was the material? It was not anything else.
, it’s dynamite.
An explosive package weighs nearly 7 kilograms. The baggage soldiers and military technicians from the munitions department of the independent regiment who were specially trained in loading explosive packages and grenades worked around the clock for five days to install 1,900 of them before the battle. A total of more than 13,800 kilograms.
There is still about 1,000 kilograms of explosives left that cannot be loaded in time.
If the officers and soldiers of the two battalions are responsible for the long section of the canyon of nearly 4,000 meters, it will only be one of two and a few meters. Well, if the entire 5,000-meter canyon is allocated, it will never reach one of 3 meters.
The officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 772nd Regiment were also assigned a section of the canyon area of more than 1,000 meters in company units. Their combat mission was very simple. They lit the explosive package, threw it down, and then quickly turned over at least five meters away from the canyon and crouched on all fours to avoid shelling.
Lie down, wait 30 seconds, and then light the second explosive package five meters away from yourself, throw it down, and lie down again.
During this period, they would not receive any military orders, because everyone's ears were already stuffed with cotton the moment the signal flare was raised.
In fact, no one could hear anything else from the moment the first explosive charge exploded.
As long as anyone is still alive, their ears are filled with the endless "booming" sound of explosions.
Regardless of whether you stuff it with cotton or not, the terrible explosion sound will penetrate your ears, making you feel that there is nothing else in the world but violent explosions.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, making the person lying down feel like he was on the sea.
The terrifying big explosion actually prevented at least one-third of the determined Red soldiers from throwing out their second explosive package in accordance with military orders.
When the violent explosion sounded at a speed of 340 meters per second, it took more than ten seconds to reach the ears of Yoshio Kamizuki across several kilometers of space.
The Japanese Army Major General's face instantly turned pale as paper.
