Highland 13 is destined to become a sad and hurtful place for Sano Yoshizo!
Yes!
Sano Yoshizo invested two-thirds of his troops in front of Hill 13 in the first wave. If the triangular nails only caused certain casualties to the Japanese troops at the front, then under the urging of military orders, the nearest Japanese troops
The infantry had reached 35 meters away from the Chinese front-line trench. Nearly 20 melon grenades were thrown in front of and even inside the trench. After the Japanese army began to stand upright and started shouting "on board", the real nightmare of the Japanese army came.
There are two trenches in total on Highland No. 13. The first trench is 2 meters deep, 5 meters wide and 350 meters long. The second trench is 6 meters deep, 2 meters wide and 280 meters long. The two trenches are about 40 meters apart.
According to normal logic, it is often after the first line of trenches cannot hold out that the remaining soldiers will retreat to the second line of trenches and hold on based on this last line of defense. Both trenches are extremely important to the defenders, and they will never give up either of them easily.
One piece.
But Boss Cao made another surprise move. There were only 6 people in the first trench. As the Japanese troops continued to approach, Boss Cao simply ordered two groups of three people to retreat to the second trench through the walkie-talkie.
In other words, when the Japanese troops at the front started throwing grenades into the trenches frantically, there were no soldiers stationed in the first trench.
Although the Japanese infantry bombarded the trenches with great excitement and caused smoke everywhere inside and outside the trenches, in fact, it did no harm to the Chinese soldiers.
But the Japanese don’t know this! They only know that the spirit of the leadership’s instructions has been implemented.
More importantly, with the help of the cover of the smoke from the grenade explosion, they could finally stand upright and stride forward to charge forward, instead of crawling on the ground like little turtles.
"Old Cao now has the courage to compete with you, Old Li! In order to harvest the Japanese, he actually dared to make such a big sacrifice, even leaving a trench." Tang Dao from far away happened to see this scene and couldn't help laughing.
"Hehe, Lao Cao has a lot of tricks. Besides these, there are even more powerful ones. However, his idea was reported to his company commander and me, and I approved it. No matter what, we can't let the 231st Infantry Regiment from here.
Run!" Li Jijin grinned happily.
"Oh? There are other tactics. Come, bring me the tactics reported on Highland 13 and let me take a look." Tang Dao stretched out his hand curiously.
This is also some of the combat experience summed up by the Fourth Army Regiment in the past two or three years. Some of the tactics envisioned by the company and platoon levels need to be reported to the higher-level headquarters, and the higher-level commander will make research and judgment. This can reduce some errors.
At the battalion level, because there are communications and operations sections, these tactical reports will be recorded and archived. They will be discussed during the summary meeting after the war. Commanders at all levels will compare these pre-war expectations with the actual battlefield.
Identify your own shortcomings to avoid making the same mistakes next time.
Li Jijin had a bitter look on his face, but he did not dare to disobey Tang Dao. He had no choice but to ask the battalion operations section chief to bring Tang Dao the series of tactical arrangements reported two hours ago on Highland 13 for review.
Tang Dao picked up the record, nodded frequently, and his eyes brightened obviously, but the face of Battalion Commander Li Day, who was carefully observing his group's seats, became even bitterer.
It's not because Lao Cao's tactics are not good, but because they are so good that even the regimental commanders are moved by them.
He has been an old comrade for almost 4 years, and he understands his own temperament as well as Tang Tuanzu understands him.
"Yo Xi!" The Japanese Army Major who was staying at the second-line headquarters saw the smoke rising from the Chinese defenders' position through the telescope, and smiled for the first time on his face.
"I am ordering the imperial warriors on the front line to march forward bravely, eliminate the enemy troops in the trenches, and plant the flag of my brigade on that high ground."
The scream of a hand-cranked siren suddenly sounded on the battlefield!
"Onboard!" The Japanese infantry on the front line got up, holding their rifles, shouting loudly to encourage themselves, shooting bullets upward, and then took long strides to charge forward.
"Onboard!" The Japanese troops in the rear quickly followed up.
At that moment, at least hundreds of Japanese troops began to charge forward on three lines of troops.
Looking from a distance, it looks like more than a hundred wild wolves that have found their prey, and they are extremely fierce.
"Hit me!" Facing the desperate charge launched by the Japanese army, Boss Cao's eyes were full of disdain, coldness and cruelty, but he was not afraid. He calmly held the submachine gun and fired downwards.
He would rather empty the front line of trenches and wait for this moment to bring more Japanese troops into the effective range of submachine guns.
This is also a hope that Boss Cao took the initiative to give to the Japanese infantry. Seeing victory in sight, who can be willing to give up?
Moreover, once this desperate charge is launched, it does not mean that anyone can retreat if they want to.
If you can't retreat, you can only advance. If you want to advance, you have to withstand the rain of bullets pouring upward from the high ground. It depends on how strong the Japanese flesh and blood are, whether they can withstand two MG42s and three 20mm machine guns.
Cannon killing!
"Bang, bang, bang!" This is a semi-automatic rifle shooting.
"Ta-ta-ta!" This is from the MP38 submachine gun.
"Puff, puff, puff!" The two MG42s, which had maintained a fire rate of 500, fired at full strength again.
"Dong, dong, dong!" What really tore apart the entire battlefield and made the Japanese infantry look fearful was the 20mm machine guns equipped by the three Xiaoqiang tanks.
Within a range of less than 150 meters, the 20mm machine gun is simply a weapon from hell.
Often, a 20mm caliber warhead will crush a person to pieces, and then continue to roll forward, and then hit a certain part of another unlucky person's limbs until blood and flesh are splattered.
The officers and soldiers of Squadron 4 and Squadron 2 had never felt so comfortable shooting Japanese, but they had never seen a person being shattered by a machine gun at such a close distance.
An extremely brave Japanese soldier relied on his agility and excellent luck to rush more than 30 meters in one breath, and was about to jump into the front line trench.
But maybe all his good luck ran out in the first 30 meters, or maybe because his last hard jump was really too high, a machine gun that had been chasing him finally hit him in the air.
A rain of blood bloomed in the air, and the body that suddenly fell was hit by a second cannonball in the air, and the head-sized organ visible to the naked eye flew far away.
Because of the close distance, A Dong said that his description would never be wrong. It was really an organ similar to a head.
Yes, that was the head of a Japanese soldier still wearing a helmet. The 20 mm caliber warhead directly broke the fragile neck of the already dead Japanese soldier, and then rolled diagonally upward and passed through the head again. The huge kinetic energy carried it
A human head flew downwards for dozens of meters before falling to the ground and rolling down the hillside like a ball.
Until he stopped in front of a Japanese soldier who had just run a few steps and was lying on the ground to avoid the rain of bullets.
The head of a colleague who was once very familiar rolled to a place less than half a meter away from his eyes with a grin on his face, and his clear eyes that had not completely turned gray were staring straight at you. What kind of situation was that?
Feel?
No one will ever know this!
Because after the Japanese soldier let out an earth-shattering howl, he jumped up like an agile cheetah and ran to the rear regardless of the situation.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast the frightened guy ran, he couldn't run faster than the bullets that filled the space.
He only jumped less than 10 meters, and a 9mm submachine gun bullet ripped through the air and tore the muscles in his back and rolled through his chest, killing him on the battlefield.
This is not precision hunting. At this time, all the Chinese officers and soldiers on the high ground, whether they are rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, or machine guns, basically point at the area where the shit-yellow figure flashes, and pull the trigger as quickly as possible.
Then load the bullet and pull the trigger.
Try your best to shoot more bullets and rely on probability to kill Japanese characters in the charge.
The Japanese troops were no longer knocked down one after another, but were swept down in pieces by the terrifying stream of metal bullets. The first-line trenches that seemed to be able to be climbed in less than 6 seconds were screamed and screamed in the flying flesh and blood.
is like the distance from the earth to the sun.
"Show red flares and inform the front line that the charge is not allowed to stop without my order! The Chinese cannot always maintain such vitality." Sano Yoshizo, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, had a dull expression on his face, his cheeks bulged high, and he bit his tongue.
He roared through his molar teeth.
The remaining Japanese troops on the front line struggled in the fire net woven by the metal bullet stream. The Japanese infantry 200 meters away in the rear also began to bend down and enter the running mode of small soldiers under the urging of red signal flares.
"Onboard!" The roar of the Japanese infantry almost drowned out the sound of guns and artillery on the battlefield.
This means that the more than 200 Japanese troops on the hillside have entered a desperate charge mode one after another.
"Squad leader, can I take someone out now?" A Dong bent down and ran over from the trench, shouting to Boss Cao who was leaning against the trench wall and changing the magazine.
"Hurry up!" Boss Cao glared and quietly stretched his head to look down. "The Japanese haven't put in the reserve team yet. Let the brothers fight this wave of Japanese invaders first!"
Sano Yoshizo's prediction was correct. Even the Four Troops could not maintain full firepower. After paying the price of more than 150 people, some Japanese troops finally rolled into the empty front-line trenches by luck.
.
Although there were only less than a dozen people, this still allowed the Japanese army to see the dawn of victory.
In their inherent impression, as long as one trench is occupied, another trench is not far away, and the Chinese people's confidence is about to collapse.
Of course, for the already red-eyed Japanese troops, victory or not may not be that important. After paying a lot of blood, their hostility has reached its peak, and they urgently need to use the blood of Chinese soldiers to alleviate it.
Blood for blood is not unique to the Chinese.
But the Japanese soldiers who jumped into the trenches would soon find something was wrong. The trenches, which were dug extremely deep and had strong defensive capabilities, were actually empty.
That means that the Chinese deliberately gave up this trench. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Even the stupidest person can react at this time.
Unfortunately, the hissing reminders from the Japanese troops in the trenches were unable to stop the Japanese troops who finally broke through the fire net and jumped into the trenches.
In the end, the Japanese infantry also gave up. After all, the more people there were, the more powerful they would be, and the less afraid they would be of the Chinese machinations.
Three communication trenches have been discovered, but the Chinese who took the initiative to abandon this trench were obviously well prepared. A steel plate with a shooting hole dug out was used as a fortification at the other end of the communication trench, and a submachine gun at the rear fired continuously at the communication trench.
For a traffic trench that is only 2 meters wide but more than 2 meters long, whoever enters will die!
Soon, dozens of Japanese soldiers jumped into the trenches.
That was also the lucky one among the 280 Japanese infantrymen invested by Yoshizo Sano. Those who failed to jump into this trench basically became dead.
Although they were very nervous, for the vast majority of the Japanese infantry, this was already an excellent result. After all, most of their colleagues did not even have this chance and turned into bloody corpses lying on the hillside.
The backward communication system was unable to allow these Japanese troops to convey news from the front line to their commanders, which also resulted in serious misjudgments by their major commander.
"Order Lieutenant Kawashima to enter the battlefield! Order the officers and soldiers in the front who have conquered the enemy's trenches to cover with grenades!" After seeing the remaining imperial officers and soldiers finally entering the Chinese front-line trenches as they wished, Sano Yoshizo finally let out a sigh of relief.
He invested his last reserve team.
Although there is a full 40 meters distance between the two trenches, except for a few extremely strong soldiers, most of the Japanese soldiers can only throw melon grenades from bottom to top to the edge of the Chinese second-line trench.
That's enough. The flying shrapnel will make the Chinese infantry wary, and the thick smoke will limit the Chinese infantry's vision.
Without the fierce firepower of these infantry, relying solely on the machine guns and tank-equipped machine guns that had to interrupt firing at any time due to the heavy bombardment of the infantry artillery was not enough to suppress the slow advance of 120 people.
"Victory, finally dawning!" Such a literary sentence suddenly appeared in Sano Yoshizou's mind.
This is enough to show that despite the heavy losses, the Japanese Army Major's mood is much better than before.
"Adong, according to the original plan, take 10 people down from the front line and bring me the Japs' headquarters! If you don't take the Japs commander's head, you can never expect me to avenge you for your military exploits!" Boss Cao saw that there were more battles.
More than a hundred Japanese soldiers rushed out of the dense forest 500 meters away and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, the Japanese's last reserve team was deceived.
Tang Dao once said this concept in a tactics class for grassroots officers at the squad and platoon level: "The best defense is never to defend strictly, but to defend while attacking.
The defense is like a copper wall and an iron wall, beating the enemy's head to pieces;
The attack is either like the tail sting of a wasp. It may not be fatal in one blow, but it requires the enemy to be heartbroken, making him gain wisdom and dare not put in all his strength again;
Either it's like the mouth of a green bamboo, if you don't move it will kill you, if you move it it will kill you."
Boss Cao was deeply inspired. When deploying defenses on Highland 13, he discovered a secret passage in the mountain while surveying the mountainous terrain.
The outside is completely covered with dense shrubs and vines, but inside there is a crack with a width of only 80 centimeters. If you rely on a rope, a person can go down through this crack to the dense forest on the flank of the highland, and enter the forest on the opposite side through the dense forest.
They did not hesitate to give up the frontline trenches, lure the main force of the Japanese army into a desperate charge mode, and then kill them in large numbers with intensive firepower. This was only the first step of this tactic.
The real killer move is the 10-man team led by Adong, with 5 people equipped with submachine guns, 2 people equipped with rifle grenades, and 3 people equipped with semi-automatic rifles.
Such a 10-man squad with such a combination of firepower is enough to defeat a Japanese command headquarters defense force that will never exceed the strength of an infantry squad in the shortest possible time.
What's more, based on the current deployment of troops by the Japanese army, it is another matter whether the Japanese army headquarters still has an infantry squad.
Of course, if there are more Japanese troops than expected, and Boss Cao also has a plan, then the 10 people will not have to return to the high ground, but will move forward. There will be brothers from the reconnaissance company in the jungle 1 kilometer away to meet them, and they will never let them go.
They do moths to the flame.
Relative to the risk, the tactical achievements gained by beheading the Japanese commander would be greater. The casualties paid by the Japanese troops who lost their command and fell into the battlefield were by no means more than 200 people in the morning.
Boss Cao wants to pack up all the Japanese here and bring them to Feishandi.
There were more than 400 Japanese troops, but there were only two infantry squads on the high ground. The strength of the two sides was 10 to 1. As a result, they even wanted to behead them on the high ground.
Not to mention that Sano Yoshizo could not have imagined that the Chinese commander on the opposite side would be so bold. Even Tang Tuanzao praised Boss Cao's bold tactics, and even he couldn't help itching to join the battle.
Really, he hadn't used the sharpest knife in the Si Xing Tuan for a long time, and the Tang Dao felt like it would get rusty if it wasn't used anymore.
However, Li Jiujin, who had tears in his eyes and looked like an aggrieved young wife who was afraid of losing his position as battalion commander, finally dissuaded Tang from trying his skills.
Even his close confidant Lao Li was 'threatened' by Ye Chenghuan. Tang Dao knew that unless the battle was particularly fierce, it would be difficult for him to carry a gun and go to the front line like before.
Although dozens of Japanese troops in the front-line trenches had worked very hard to throw grenades to the edge of the second-line trenches, the two MG42s still posed a huge threat to more than 100 Japanese troops, and their advance had to be very slow.
The Japanese lieutenant who led the team also knew that the last 130 or so of them were the last strength that the Major had at his disposal. They were going to fight the Chinese decisively and could not be easily compromised.
For a full 10 minutes, more than 100 Japanese soldiers still stayed 100 meters away from the front line trenches and wriggled forward.
Climbing and rolling are the most common operations of the Japanese infantry, which are forced by the warheads above their heads that constantly scream and pierce the space. The Japanese infantry are extremely grateful for the individual tactical training courses. Without these rigorous training, they would all
I don’t know how many times I have died under this hail of bullets.
Advancing more than 300 meters at the cost of only 16 people is the best interpretation of "sweat more in training and bleed less in war".
Looking at the trenches occupied by our own side so close at hand, the eyes of Lieutenant Ishiro Kawashima, who led the team, were full of determination.
Then a burst of fierce gunfire rang out.
It wasn't until a few seconds passed that Lieutenant Kawashima Shishiro reacted and turned around suddenly with eyes filled with horror.
