The minefield, which is more than 300 meters away from the mountain road, is actually not close. There is basically no explosion sound here. The explosion of the miniature infantry mine is no louder than the sound of gunfire, but from time to time, the faint screams of the Japanese troops can be heard.
However, none of the three teams pursued them. They just guarded the area close to the mountain road with great vigilance to avoid being rushed out by the Japanese troops who had finally driven into the mountains. It would be terrible if a grenade dropped ammunition next to the cart.
! Not to mention that the thirty members of their three infantry squads had to go to the sky, and most of the brothers in the infantry company who had already ran over from the position at the fastest speed had to finish their fun.
It can be said that these five minutes of defense were as long as a century to Mi Laowu and others, until more than a hundred infantrymen of the Bayonet Battalion moved about a hundred boxes of artillery shells on three carts far away.
Here, dozens of people breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
Now that the greatest danger is gone, all that's left is to wipe out the remaining Japanese invaders hiding in the stone peaks.
However, that was much simpler. After ordering everyone to stay away for hundreds of meters, the Bayonet Battalion set up more than twenty mortars and poured more than a hundred rounds into the stone mountain. Only then did three detour teams and four reinforcements
The infantry squad entered it.
It is true that there were still Japanese soldiers hiding in stone peaks or shallow caves who were lucky enough not to be killed. The search team still encountered some who resisted with all their strength. But in such a narrow space, even if they wanted to make a sneak attack, it would be extremely difficult.
The difficult thing is that the 38-inch cover is really too long, especially since the Japanese army was stupid enough to put a bayonet on the rifle at this time. The slightest movement made the bayonet clang against the rocks.
On the other hand, looking at the several infantry squads that entered Shi Feng to search, almost all of them were squad leaders and deputy squad leaders. They all carried submachine guns on their backs and held "Black Stars" in their hands. Their shooting speeds were much faster than rifles. Several Japanese soldiers just shouted.
There was a sound, and the gun was shot through by a high-power pistol before it could even come around. The infantryman holding a semi-automatic rifle behind him basically stabbed the general on his arm, the butt of the gun was tucked under his arm, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed diagonally.
It can guarantee the first shot, but there is absolutely no intention of trying to stab in such a place.
The difference in equipment and the correct use of tactics basically guarantee the absolute advantage of the bayonet battalion infantry in such search operations.
Except for one infantryman who was stabbed in the arm by a very cunning Japanese soldier who was hiding near a stone pillar with a bayonet in his hand, the officers and soldiers of the seven infantry squads involved were basically intact, and more than 20 remaining Japanese soldiers were killed.
As for the rest, they were either killed by mortars, or they jumped into the minefield in a panic and were killed and injured.
Miniature infantry mines are not actually fatal, but they are enough to blow off the soles of feet or even break legs. Why they were killed was because the space was not large, and there were too many infantry mines. Many of the Japanese soldiers who were injured were slightly injured.
Abnormal movement, being hit by lightning again, followed by severe pain may lead to another hit, and ultimately death.
Of course, it is not unwise to be smart. The first time I was hit by a mine, I immediately chose to transform into a sculpture on one leg independently. But that would be seen by the bayonet battalion infantry who were searching from above, and then shot to death. Any evasion
It's all in vain, even if you dodge the bullets, you can't dodge the mines.
However, even the Japanese soldiers themselves did not know how many people could hide in this stone mountain filled with the smell of death. After searching for half an hour in seven infantry squads, after counting, the number of Japanese soldiers killed here was approximately 76.
After that, they basically evacuated the area. The minefield range was as high as thousands of square meters. Even they who were the instigators did not dare to enter that land of death. The miniature infantry mines covered by dust and soil did not recognize people.
.
No one knew that there were still survivors there. It wasn’t until a long time later that the Japanese army that reoccupied this mountainous area heard about the minefields here and sent people to check. Unexpectedly, there were not only minefields here that could not be cleared and
After the landmines were completely cleared, there was actually a large living person, a guy with a full beard and a broken military uniform covering his body, like a savage who was extremely wary of everyone.
He was active in the center of the minefield, jumping like a monkey on the rocks two or three meters apart. It was not until he heard the familiar mother tongue shouting that the savage began to cry loudly and loudly reported the number in his mother tongue.
It turned out that he was a corps commander under Lieutenant Ishida Inoue of the 40th Infantry Brigade, 79th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Infantry Battalion, 4th Infantry Squadron, who had been judged to be a black man in the entire army. He was also the spy for Ishida Inoue.
The news is from the little Wu Zhang who is proficient in Chinese.
When Ishida Inoue was beaten to pieces by a magical shot, the Japanese commander, who was completely desperate, jumped into the stone mountain and ran towards the last way out, miraculously evading the rain-like mortars of the Chinese and miraculously evading the Chinese
The pursuit of people broke into a minefield.
One after another, his companions were killed and injured by invisible landmines. Then, the Japanese captain, who curled up into a ball and hid in a rough stone cave no larger than a small water tank, looked at the people occupying the commanding heights.
The Chinese would kill their injured companions who dared not move one by one. He himself would not dare to move until all the terrible Chinese people left.
Although the Chinese left, the minefield was still there, and not long after, he could clearly hear the sound of a large Chinese army marching on the mountain road. There were at least thousands of them. He hid for two or three days, suffering from hunger.
The frightened team leader dared to come out, but he could not leave the minefield. Even if he tried his best to climb the stone mountain ten days later, the tragedy would not be confirmed. Unless he walked through the minefield, otherwise, he would
I can only stay in this area forever.
The seemingly safe hill was actually too far away from where he was, and the nearest one was more than ten meters away.
When he found out from across the mountain what day the friendly troops were, the Japanese army commander, who was in ragged clothes and wished he could cover his body with his beard, cried even more sadly. He had actually stayed in the stone mountain in the minefield for 8 months, from autumn to winter.
Then to spring and then to early summer.
He has truly realized the hermit life of "there are no years in the mountains, but there are thousands of years in the world".
This Japanese army commander named Kawaguchi Governor is undoubtedly lucky. Not only is he the only survivor of the 2nd Infantry Squadron and the Baggage Squadron, he is even the only survivor of the 3rd Infantry Battalion that went into battle. Moreover, he can also provide information about this
The combat experience of the battle was used by the Japanese command to study the tactics of the 129th Division of the 18th Group Army and that damn independent regiment.
Yes, it was only a few months later that senior Japanese intelligence officers learned of the independent regiment's participation in this battle from the Chinese government's Military Affairs Office. The commander of the North China Expeditionary Force almost didn't realize that those members of the 20th Division had been killed in the battle.
The super idiots will be dug out of the small urn and bitten to death one by one. You can't even figure out who your opponent is and where he is, so your death is not unjust.
Governor Kawaguchi, who was picked up from the mountain with a rope by the Japanese army with great efforts, was sent to the headquarters of the North China Front in Beiping, where he described the battle in detail to Gen. Gen. Binzan Yuan, who had replaced Juichi Terauchi as the commander of the North China Front.
It was precisely with the oral account of this "hermit in the minefield" that the Japanese military history had the opportunity to truly record the ambush encountered by the 3,000 reinforcements led by Ryo Ikeda in the Shanngling Village River Valley.
The Japanese military history experts who like to talk a lot have the opportunity to complain about Liu Dazhu's cunning. Through the description of the Japanese army commander who personally experienced this incident and witnessed the tenacious imperial warrior Ishida Inoue being blown to pieces by a cannon, they
Doesn't that mean that the Chinese have no intention of surrendering? The cunning Chinese commander has been stalling for time and waiting for an opportunity, so that a good man gets two goods.
Of course, people have to be killed, and goods have to be moved.
Governor Kawaguchi, who suffered enough physical and mental trauma, was lucky enough to be sent back to Japan without participating in the rest of the war. After the war, based on his legendary experience, the Japanese main island also filmed a movie called "240 Days in the Minefield"
"The movie describes how a "lone hero" survived in the terrible minefields of the Chinese people and survived for 8 months on rainwater from the sky and the carcasses of small animals killed by landmines.
Of course, from the instigators to the Japanese military archives, there was no mention of the dozen or so scattered and shiny white remains of Japanese soldiers in the minefield. If it was natural decay, eight months would not be enough.
, and no mountain wind can scatter the bones everywhere.
However, there is still one doubtful point in the Japanese military information that cannot be solved. Who can kill Lieutenant Ishida with one shot?
It was not until the declassification of Chinese military files decades later that all Japanese doubts were solved.
That shot was not deliberately done by humans.
The moment the grenade dropped by recruit Danzi Xiaoshan overturned the mountain cannon, he also killed the Japanese trainee artillery squad leader who was about to fire. Before he died, he pulled the breech of the cannon so that the mountain cannon could be fired smoothly. However, at this time, the cannon body had tilted and fell over, and the muzzle was facing the target.
It's not the sky, but a slight tilt downward, coupled with the violent shaking of the cannon body.
This shot was fired, but due to the accident, the shell did not fly according to the normal curve trajectory as usual, but shot straight in the direction pointed by the muzzle. But this is not the most miraculous thing.
Miraculously, there are two hilltops between the muzzle and the baggage train where Ishida Inoue is hiding. Even if there is a direct space, the field of view will never be wider than two fists. But this shot was
Such a miraculous thing happened. It happened to pass by two consecutive mountain peaks and hit a heavy baggage vehicle on the mountain road 320 meters away. Its ballistic trajectory was so accurate that it could be called a sniper cannon.
In fact, when the search battle came to an end and the most important artillery shells and other materials were moved to the mountains and hidden, Liu Dazhu and several senior officials of the Bayonet Battalion personally inspected the platform where the mountain cannon was seized on the hill.
The corpses of the Japanese soldiers and the mountain artillery were still in place. After listening to the report of the recruit Danzi, several majors and captains with extremely rich combat experience could only feel a collective toothache. They were happy for this lucky boy and at the same time felt extremely lucky for themselves.
If he had not attacked decisively, I am afraid that this artillery attack would have cost at least a few casualties. If Lang Tuanzuo found out, I am afraid it would have been a good lesson. In the eyes of the Tuanzuo commander, the lives of soldiers are comparable to these.
The supplies are much more important.
This is a great contribution.
But this credit alone may not be enough.
It can only be said that this unlucky recruit who caused everyone to be whipped and almost lost his head was blessed this time. A grenade overturned the mountain cannon that was ready to be fired and sent the Japanese commander into the sky with a magical shot.
It completely shattered the fighting spirit of the Japanese army and captured all the supplies for 3,000 people.
Except that one cart of cans was gone.
In fact, it can't be said that they are completely gone. Dozens of them fell on the mountain range. That guy was definitely powerful. He flew more than 400 meters and broke many thick branches.
Liu Dazhu took a bite. Although the taste was average, it contained vegetables and beef. It was no worse than the fried rice and beef jerky served in an independent group.
"Haha, boy, with a mountain cannon and the baggage captured today, you have to be the first to win this battle. The ten lashes I received were not in vain. Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?" Liu Dazhu said with a rare pat.
Laughing heartily on Xiaoshan's shoulders.
The new recruit Danzi just grinned, making Mi Laowu on the side anxious for him. Wasn't this guy roaring with great enthusiasm at that time? Now the battalion commander has personally promised that he won't ask for any rewards.
Already?
"Okay, you idiot, I don't need you to say anything anymore. After the war, I'll ask Platoon Commander Mi to help you propose marriage." Liu Dazhu rubbed the silly recruit's head hard and said with a smile.
The new recruit Danzi's mouth almost split open to the back of his head.
