Chapter 928 Tang Tuanzuo blatantly violated the rules!
The Chinese soldiers who surrounded them in a semi-arc did not launch an aggressive attack under the cover of light and heavy machine gun fire.
The Chinese soldiers bent over and advanced to a position close to 200 meters, then crouched down and were not busy moving forward, as if they did not care at all about the main force of the Japanese army in front that was about to start desperately retreating.
If there is such a stalemate, it is naturally the best. Captain Inoue Xiaoju dares to use his own head to guarantee that Goto Daizuo will come back with all his strength. At a distance of 1,200 meters, Baga is just a group of turtles. It should be climbed in ten minutes.
.
But Inoue Xiaoshu knows better that the Chinese, who can use the tactics of "drawing money from the bottom of the cauldron" by constantly brutally killing war horses, will never make such a low-level mistake. They must be brewing a more terrifying blow, such as...
The mortars and an unknown number of grenades that had just destroyed the mountain artillery position!
I am really afraid of what will happen!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" As clouds of gunpowder smoke rose up from the front, rear, left and right of the infantry defense line, the Japanese army captain gave himself a hard slap and retracted his body into the trench with despair in his eyes.
For the first time in his life, Inoue Xiaoshu hated his wise brain.
The Chinese had many cannons and more shells than he imagined.
You know, that's the result of a Chinese cavalry company's officers and soldiers willing to work as grooms! Those war horses that are usually fed with refined grains to be fat and strong can run for dozens of miles carrying soldiers and equipment weighing 120 kilograms. This time
, but became the best pack horse, carrying a full 300 rounds of artillery shells for 6 mortars.
For the battle at Shentou Ridge, Tang Tuanzuo also spent a lot of money, taking out almost 80% of the ammunition storage of the Four Lines Regiment. The distressed Chief of Staff Zhuang Da, who was in charge of military supplies, only bared his teeth.
But Tang Dao persuaded him. In the original words of Tang Tuanzuo: The significance of firing this first shot into the Taihang Mountains is not only to smash the 108th Division, but also to let the friendly forces know the value of our regiment.
Where!
We all say that we must unite all forces that can be united to fight against the Japanese invaders, but our ancestors have explained the true nature of human nature with the saying "If you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives." To be united, you must first have people who can be united.
Strength!
If you want to fish, you have to be willing to build a nest, not to mention that the Four Elements Group wants to embrace the big thick legs that are destined to sweep the world seven years in advance.
To be honest, when he was free, Tang Dao also thought about the possibility of relying on his grasp of the pulse of the future to find a completely different path from the past time and space, but he gave up in the end.
It’s not that Tang Dao is afraid of the clear trajectory of history’s stubborn train, but that he clearly knows that the so-called general trend of history is nothing more than what Li Er said thousands of years ago: Water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it!
How persistent is the dream of owning your own land for a farming civilization that has taken root on this planet for thousands of years? Perhaps no one knows it better than the little butterfly from a hundred years later.
Once the spark of a dream is sown, sooner or later it will turn into a prairie fire, and no one can stop it.
Unable to stop them, they naturally had to join, not to mention Tang Dao knew that they would do well in the future. Although the prosperous age came a little later, they were not absent!
His Huaxia is really good!
Of course Tang Dao would not know that as early as half a month ago, all the materials from him and the Four Elements Group had been compiled and placed on the wise man's head.
"Good young people should be able to be united!" A wise man who has passed the age of knowing his destiny made such an evaluation.
The two elders of the 921st Division were also standing in front of the telegraph machine at this time, understanding the battlefield and observing the combat power of the Four Lines Regiment through the battle status continuously sent from the 683rd Brigade Headquarters on the front line.
Although the two elders who had experienced countless battlefields did not make any verbal comments, their eyes were full of surprise.
With only two infantry battalions and one artillery company, it took one and a half hours to conquer Licheng, which had 1,300 Japanese troops and complete fortifications. His air defense company successfully ambush the returning Japanese aircraft formation, shooting down and damaging several Japanese aircraft; it only took 5 hours.
, the officers and soldiers who had just finished the Battle of Licheng carried all light and heavy equipment and marched 40 miles on the mountain road to the main battlefield of Beiganling; their supreme commander Tang Dao personally led two infantry companies and one cavalry company to make a circuitous detour to surprise the Japanese rear.
position, and informed the 683rd Brigade that they were determined to use this as a lock to block the last escape route of the Japanese troops in this unit.
The regiment's combat effectiveness is extremely strong, but it is just a vague concept, but the two veterans who have experienced battles can see many details from it.
Firstly, Tang Dao, the leader of the regiment, is indeed a military genius who came out of Songhu, a flesh-and-blood mill, with outstanding commanding skills and bravery; secondly, the regiment's weapons are so sophisticated that even the Japanese invaders of the same level cannot match them.
; Thirdly, the tenacity of the officers and soldiers of this regiment and their resolute execution of military orders are extremely rare.
If the will is not strong enough, how can one immediately engage in intensive marching to a battlefield dozens of miles away after a big battle?
However, it was slightly different from what Tang Dao had imagined. For these two elders, what really impressed them about the Four Lines Regiment was not how well-equipped the Four Lines Regiment was. The artillery and shells they could use were the most important thing in their lives.
Only seen.
It was the quality of will shown by the Four Elements Group in this battle, which made the two elders who paid close attention to the Four Elements Group feel a sense of sympathy for each other.
Speaking of this, which unit can be compared with the elites of the Eightyth Army who traveled thousands of miles?
But the Four Elements Group miraculously possessed this momentum.
Thinking again about what Tang Dao, the leader of the Fourth Army Regiment, said at the 683 Brigade Headquarters, 'As a soldier, you should shed your last drop of blood for the country and the nation!' The two elders looked at each other with admiration in their eyes.
color.
Perhaps in the eyes of these two men, equipment is far less important than the will and quality of soldiers, but on the battlefield, sophisticated equipment can save many lives.
Tang Dao's argument has always been: Soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, but the sacrifice must be valuable and not make unnecessary sacrifices!
What can be solved with equipment cannot be easily solved with lives.
Therefore, Tang Dao ordered that before the infantry enters the attack state, the artillery should not be stingy with artillery shells and use artillery fire to clear the way for the infantry.
Although the Fourth Line Regiment has not yet formed a complete system of infantry and artillery coordination, the artillery position was moved to six mortars less than 500 meters away from the front line. After test firing with more than a dozen shells, the accuracy can be controlled to 10 meters.
error.
Just one minute after their own artillery bombarded the Japanese position, the infantry began to gradually advance towards the Japanese position which was under continuous artillery fire.
However, in order to prevent accidental injuries, there were only about a hundred soldiers in their first wave. The number of soldiers was not large, but they were able to keep the military line sparse enough, with a width of seven or eight meters between each soldier.
But if Inoue Xiaoshu, who was suppressed by the air waves and shrapnel in the trench, had the courage to look outside the position, he would find that these soldiers seem to be small in number and scattered scattered, but in fact they maintain a group of three.
.
This trio basically looks like a flattened triangle, with soldiers in the center often holding submachine guns or semi-automatic rifles, and riflemen on both sides.
Such a combination is naturally the main attack with continuous firepower, and the infantry on both sides form two wings to protect the infantry at the arrow.
Obviously, perhaps at a distance of 200 meters, such a three-person team would not pose much of a threat to the Japanese army, but once they entered a distance of forty or fifty meters, it would be a bit scary.
The MP28 with a magazine capacity of 20 rounds instantly sprays firepower even more terrifying than a light machine gun. The pikemen on both sides can throw grenades to supplement the firepower. When the submachine gunners change magazines, the two rifles can also fire to ensure
Continuity of fire.
And when the artillery fire gradually became sparse, Inoue Xiaoshu, whose head was buzzing as if he had been stuffed with thousands of bees, poked his head out of the trench, and what he saw was this fighting group.
The reason that made him scream "Enemy is attacking, shoot!" with gallbladder, was that there were more than 30 such combat groups.
Obviously, Inoue Xiaoshu's loud shout was a little too late.
Six mortars and 18 grenades bombarded the trenches at all costs. The reason why they stopped was because our infantry had reached 40 meters in front of the Japanese position, which was close to the psychological limit of the artillerymen.
The artillerymen's foreheads, bodies, and palms were all covered in sweat!
Cold sweat!
It wasn't the exhaustion of frantically moving cannonballs, but the nervousness.
Tang Tuanzuo's order is crazy: all artillery and grenadier soldiers must not stop shelling until the front-line infantry reaches a distance where grenades can be thrown!
As long as one shot fails, the shells or grenades will fall into the ranks of our own people. With their unprotected attack status in the wilderness, at least two or three lives will be lost.
To die in the enemy's bullets is a sacrifice, and it is the fate chosen by the soldier himself, but what about dying in one's own bullets?
The dead people know nothing, but what about the living people, especially the artillerymen who personally set up the muzzles and dropped the shells? How should they face it?
Except for the artillerymen themselves, perhaps only God knows how much psychological pressure they endured!
Fortunately, the infantry finally arrived at the area specified by Tang Tuanzuo, and the artillery did not make the mistake of accidentally injuring their comrades.
Just when the Japanese army started to counterattack with scattered 38 rifle shots.
"Boom, boom, boom!" An explosion that was much more terrifying than the mortars and grenade launchers just rampaged through again sounded on the Japanese positions.
Because, in the first wave alone, there were more than 60 grenades!
This is not over yet, the second wave, the third wave, the fourth wave...
Each pikeman responsible for covering the submachine gunners and semi-automatic riflemen carried six grenades. Before charging, they each threw four grenades according to Tang Dao's requirements.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock" the loud charge horn sounded.
"Kill!" The sound of killing suddenly shook the battlefield.
The hundreds of officers and soldiers who had already exerted their strength collectively burst out with a shout, ran with all their strength, and entered a state of charge.
When fighting against the Japanese army, the Four Lines Regiment spent most of their time in a defensive combat posture and rarely entered an offensive state. However, both old and new soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment knew one thing. Once the charge horn sounded, they would fight to the death!
Unless the enemy is defeated and the position is occupied, even if there is only one person left, the charge must continue.
What's more, this time, their supreme commander is also among their ranks.
Yes, Tang Tuanzuo took advantage of the fact that he was the 'one-man-powerful one'. The two deputy commanders, the chief of staff, the two main battalion commanders were not here, and Tantai Mingyue, who could slightly criticize him, was not here, and he openly violated
The express regulations set by the Supreme Military Council of the Regiment Headquarters.
'In any battle, unless it is a matter of life and death, the first commander of each participating unit is not allowed to fight on the front line! If any battalion or company violates the rules, the parties concerned shall be severely punished by military law! This regulation also applies to the regiment headquarters!'
The reason why it is additionally applicable to the regiment headquarters was specifically proposed by three other people in the regiment headquarters besides Tang Dao. Although those three people did not say it clearly, anyone who is not a fool knows that it is specifically for a certain regiment that likes to go to the front line to fight in person.
Come sit down.
Although Tang Tuanzuo was able to control the sky with one hand when commanding, the formulation of military regulations was a matter for the staff department, and with the support of two deputy commanders, the key point was that it was still necessary.
If the top commander is lost during wartime, regardless of whether the second commander has the ability of the commander, it is almost certain that the morale of the officers and soldiers will plummet if their own commander dies in battle, and perhaps more people will lose their lives because of this.
Life.
Except for Li Jijin, a life-saving veteran, this military regulation applies to almost all battalions and company commanders of the Si Xing Regiment, and these qualities were brought out by Tang Tuanzuo, the iron-headed regiment commander.
In other words, this military regulation is tailor-made for a certain regiment.
Don’t you see, even Li Jiujin, when he encountered danger, didn’t he take the action of leading his men to stay behind to block the attack and cover the retreat of the main force?
Although they knew they were being targeted, the 'opponents' stood together and raised their hands in agreement, but Tang Tuanzuo could only raise his hands in submission.
Unexpectedly, during the war, Tang Tuanzuo openly violated the rules!
Is this a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?
Guard company commander Peng Chong and 7th company commander Li Jijin had no time to study this, and both company commanders were impatient.
"Come together, why don't you let me lead the brothers? You sit in the rear! Why don't you believe Lao Li?" Li Jiujin, who knew Tang Dao very well, was somewhat tactful.
"Sir, you are violating the rules and will be subject to military law. Our security company firmly disagrees." Peng Chong, who was completely anxious, was holding his neck and retorted.
He is the commander of the guard company, and he is responsible for protecting Tang Dao. When he left, Gong Shaoxun also called him aside to explain to him. If anything happens to the regimental commander, he, the commander of the guard company, should not come back. He should not be impatient.
Strange things.
"Get out of here, what kind of military law is this? I am the leader of the regiment, and I am the military judge!" Tang Tuanzuo showed his domineering attitude at this time, as if he was the eldest son of the regiment and had the final say.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.]
Looking at Li Jijin, who had a bitter look on his face and stopped talking, and Peng Chong, who still wanted to speak, Tang Dao continued: "This is an emergency moment for the military. If we cannot conquer the Japanese positions as quickly as possible, we will wait for the Japanese tanks and
The main force of the infantry has arrived. The brothers who die here will be counted ten times. My life is life, but the lives of brothers are not life?
If you say that I have violated military law, then this is the law for me to lead the army after the war! I can just whip myself! It’s settled like this. If anyone tries to persuade me again, I will be suspended on the spot immediately!"
Tang Dao is not on the front line to show off as a hero, but if Inoue Xiaoshu, a Japanese army captain, can think of something, how could Tang Dao, an army colonel, not think of it?
The main force of the Japanese army in the distance would never give up the escape route. Without the relatively well-constructed circular trenches of the Japanese army, the 400 men under his command alone would never be able to stop the main force of the Japanese army who were trying to escape.
The main force of the Japanese army is only more than a thousand meters away from here. Even if the Japanese army needs to regroup and redeploy, the time left to him will not exceed 15 minutes, and he will also need to deploy some grenade launchers and heavy machine guns on the position.
The time was shorter than Inoue Xiaoshu imagined.
Even though he would spend nearly 5 minutes preparing for artillery fire, the truth is, 'If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your weapon!' The more confused the Japanese infantry will be, the more they will kill, the faster they will occupy the position.
quick.
However, since it was considered a desperate move, Tang Dao had to invest all his strength in the first wave of attacks, without testing firepower, and there was no second attack.
He must succeed in this battle!
In this case, as the regiment leader, he must stand in front of everyone and say to his soldiers: "Follow me!"
Seeing their regiment leading the way, the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment were naturally full of enthusiasm and morale. Not to mention that all of them transformed into Super Saiyans! Even if the young people were fully armed with adrenaline, they charged at full speed.
It can also reach a frightening six or seven meters per second.
For them, a distance of 40 meters will never take more than 7 seconds!
At this time, the Japanese troops in the trenches were hit by more than a hundred artillery shells and then hit by more than two hundred grenades.
Mortar shells falling into trenches depend on probability. With more than a hundred shells and more than two hundred grenade rounds fired at them, the number of mortar shells that can fall into trenches and cause direct damage to infantry will never exceed one tenth.
As for the Japanese army, because they were small in number and the defense line was long enough, after one round of shelling, nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers were killed and more than 20 were maimed!
But grenades are different. They are listed as the first wave of impact, but the first platoon, second platoon of the guard company and the first platoon of the 7th company are composed of 60 to 70% veterans. The grenade throwing distance of 40 meters is
They have regular range.
At least a quarter of the grenades were thrown into the trenches.
If fifty or sixty grenades were thrown in, the damage would be more terrible than the damage caused by the artillery shells.
There would never be more than 30 Japanese cavalry infantry who could counterattack with their guns in hand when Tang Dao led his elite troops to charge.
The reason why four rounds of grenades were thrown in succession was not only to kill the Japanese troops, but also to protect themselves with the help of smoke and dust.
Many Japanese soldiers were so stunned by the bombing that they couldn't even see the blurry blue, so how could they aim?
During the entire charge, Deep Blue would not fall down more than two times.
When they were close to ten meters, the rain of bullets poured out from the submachine guns was "ta da da da!", which made the Japanese army even more desperate.
Not giving the desperate Japanese troops a chance to engage in hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, the Four Lines Regiment had basically formed a single-soldier group using the three-by-three system, killing the Japanese troops with bullets.
The cavalry captain Inoue Xiaoshu tried to lift his katana, but unfortunately, his body was hit by at least five or six bullets at close range, making it impossible for him to bear the weight of two or three kilograms.
