Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1149 Stop talking about Cao Cao!

Nagano Kameichiro stood at a lookout in the dense forest, with a serious expression on his face, staring at Niangziguan less than 1500 meters ahead.

Such a sculpture-like posture, the Japanese army major general has maintained for nearly 20 minutes.

But none of the Japanese army officers standing around dared to say a word of persuasion!

Just in the morning, bad news came from the front line again. The supreme commander of the 1st Division in front of the Chinese No. 21 position, Lieutenant Yin Tangxiuer, died in battle!
This unlucky Japanese army lieutenant was killed by a Chinese sharpshooter lurking on the battlefield when he arrived at the front to supervise the battle.

After a week of fierce fighting, the main position of Niangziguan is dotted with shell craters, just like the surface of a planet that has wandered in the universe for tens of billions of years, but what is even more unbearable is that since two days ago, the 21st Division has not restrained itself. Let the remains of soldiers who died in battle be exposed to the wilderness!
It's not that the commanders at all levels of the 21st Division don't want to, but they can't!Firstly, the Chinese, who don’t talk about martial arts, often take advantage of this opportunity to continue bludgeoning sneak attacks, resulting in increasing casualties of the corpse collection team; more importantly, there are too many corpses accumulated in the rear, not to mention that they cannot be transported away, even if they are burned.

A large number of corpses are piled there. In the early autumn of September, the daytime temperature is not low. In two or three days, the corpses will emit a disgusting smell. What is more terrifying is not the smell, but the resulting disease!
Therefore, Nagano Kameichiro simply ordered, just keep alive and ignore the dead, and wait until the end of the battlefield.

On the hillside in front of the Niangziguan position, you can see broken limbs and 'shit yellow' lying in various positions everywhere!
This reduced the burden on Japanese soldiers a lot, but the danger also increased.

The Chinese even used the cover of night to disguise their sharpshooters as corpses on the ground, and then hunted and killed the mid-level officers in the Japanese infantry in the attack sequence!

However, the Japanese army still has no way to identify every corpse on the battlefield. Even after losing three army captains and four army second lieutenants in the afternoon, they have no way to deal with this unprecedented tactic.

Logically speaking, at such a time, senior military officers should not get too close to the battlefield, so as not to give big gifts to the various Chinese.

As a result, Lieutenant Commander Yin Tangxiuer didn't know if he drank a couple of ounces of sake in the evening, and in the morning attack, he ignored the obstruction of the staff officers, put on the military uniform of a first-class soldier, and personally went to the front line to supervise the battle!
But the lieutenant officer really didn't have any clues in his heart. His protruding stomach filled up the uniform of a large upper class soldier so full. He must have regarded the Chinese sharp sniper as a blind man!
So, he's freaking out!
It is 600 meters away from the Chinese highland, and there are trenches as bunkers. Except for the threat of heavy machine guns and mortars, it was originally considered safe.

But he's still freaking out!He was hit in the mouth by a 6.5mm Tomosaka bullet from a 6.5-style rifle. The [-]mm bullet bullet with strong penetrating power smashed his relatively strong front teeth, deformed and hit the back of his head, and finally died in his mouth. A hole the size of a baby's fist was formed at the back of the head, and the blood flowing inside was milky yellow liquid.

No one knew what kind of substance it was. Anyway, the Japanese army lieutenant who had shown off his skills died very quickly.

Of course, Yin Tangxiuer was not the first officer to die on this battlefield. Before him, there were already two major commanders who led the charge in person. The one who was closest to victory even occupied the Chinese second road near the ridge. line of defense.

But the closest victory does not mean victory. The Chinese quickly attacked the lost line of defense from both sides of the ridge, and blocked the front of the site with heavy mortars. As a result, the Japanese follow-up reinforcements could not reach the area at all, and they could only watch 200. A few meters away, the Chinese used blasting methods such as throwing explosives and grenades to blow up a major captain and an infantry squadron who had entered the line of defense to pieces!
It was not until after the war that the Japanese army knew that it was not because they were brave enough to be close to victory, it was also a tactic!
Sun Tzu's Art of War: Retreat as Advance!

No one thought that Wei Donglai would be so bold as to hand over his main position to others, and then organize manpower to attack, killing all the Japanese infantry who entered the position!

Because the positions of the Chinese side and the Japanese side are different, there are sufficiently wide ridges on both sides of the Chinese position, and the attack on the positions under the ridges still maintains a topographical advantage!

Unless the Japanese army was so frantic that they used heavy artillery to attack their own infantry who had already captured their positions, otherwise, they could only watch helplessly as their own infantry who finally entered the enemy's position were encircled and killed again.

This kind of tactic, not to mention Nagano Kameichiro, would not do it, even Yokoyama Ze, who was recognized as mentally incompetent after the war, would not.

That would give a false impression to all the infantry of the 21st Division. If they can't attack, they will be dead. If they attack, they will be dead. If they are left and right, they will die. Then who will work hard to attack?Touching the fish on the way to attack, if one wave fails, the next wave will come again, can take a big breath of air, isn't he delicious?

Two majors died in battle, one lieutenant died in battle, and more than 6000 infantrymen were killed in battle. This is the beautiful report card handed over by the 21st Division in this week's fierce battle.

Don't think that this beauty is ironic, it's really okay, the main thing is to see who you compare it with.

For example, with the scumbag of the 108th Division, 8000 people rushed to Dakouzidong, and finally retreated vigorously with a jaw-dropping 50.00% casualty rate, carrying the headless body of the major general brigade commander, and sent a request The division headquarters sent two infantry brigades to respond.

Jindong and Jindongnan have invested more than 20 people in this large-scale battle. So far, the 108th Division has been the last to shout, and no one dares to speak out!

But you want to say that the 21st Division is the second to last?Nagano Kameichiro is really not willing to admit it.

First of all, his opponent is the Four Elements Regiment, which is now recognized by the North China Front as one of the most difficult enemies to deal with; secondly, until now, his casualty rate is only 30.00%. ;

In Nagano Kameichiro's mind, even more miserable than him is the famous Fifth Division.

The Fifth Division sent a detachment with a total strength of about 1. The infantry has 6 fully organized infantry brigades, plus an artillery unit with 12 105 howitzers and 12 75 mountain guns. The brigade has 30 tanks of various types. Combining the quality of the soldiers and heavy firepower, its comprehensive combat effectiveness is not weaker or even stronger than the 21st Division with a larger force.

But unfortunately, what they encountered was the second infantry division with the strongest combat effectiveness in China's second theater!
One is the direct descendant of the stingy old man's direct descendant, who tried his best to stack equipment no matter before or during the war, and the commander will become the overlord of North China in the future.

The other is that from the division commander to the brigade commander, they all have played "white knife in and red knife out" with the Japanese army in the future, and they would rather wipe their necks than retreat!
More importantly, these two infantry divisions are not like the 921st and 17th divisions. lack.

The total number of troops of the two divisions is as high as 2.6, which is twice that of the fifth division.That was also the only battlefield where the Chinese side had a large advantage in the battle of Jindong.

If this is the case, with the strength of the 2th Division known as the "Steel Army", not to mention the 7 times difference in strength, the 25th Division had [-] vs. [-] troops in the Xinkou battle, nearly four times the strength. The gap still won the final victory.

Perhaps it was this record of great success that gave the then major general of the 21st Infantry Brigade of the Fifth Division Akira Nakamura the confidence and determination to move forward.

In the first three days of the beginning of the war, the two infantry regiments of the Fifth Division attacked the defense line formed by the two infantry divisions from three directions, and broke through two defense lines and captured nearly 10 high grounds. Nearly 2000 Chinese soldiers were killed, and they looked like they had won a great victory.

On the fourth day, the two infantry divisions each dispatched an infantry regiment to defend the Heishanzi Pass at all costs. Akira Nakamura sent three infantry brigades to attack but failed. However, due to the complicated terrain, the chariot brigade could not reach the predetermined battlefield at all and had to be dispatched. The two wings support the main battlefield.

This tune has hit the Chinese side's plan.

On the fifth day, the two infantry regiments that the Chinese side had always been in reserve broke out suddenly, encircling an infantry brigade of the Fifth Division in a valley surrounded by three peaks, and launched an anti-encirclement operation.

Originally, Akira Nakamura was not surprised but happy, thinking that it would be a good thing to draw thousands of Chinese out of the mountains, and he did not think that the Chinese army of only four or five thousand could quickly eat up his infantry brigade, especially There are also 12 105 heavy artillery support.

The early stage of the battle on the fifth day was still as expected by the major general of the Japanese army. The two infantry regiments attacked violently under the fierce shelling of 12 mountain cannons, but they still could not completely divide the position of the thousand Japanese troops. Surrounded by a complete line of defense and the Chinese army and waiting for support.

But after a day of fierce fighting, Akira Nakamura became anxious.

The [-]-strong support force he invested had no way of breaking through the blocking positions set up by the Chinese in front of the battlefield, and there were at least [-] people defending there.

The Chinese are determined to eat his infantry brigade. Akira Nakamura is a little panicked. Last year, the Fifth Division was ambushed by the Chinese 511 Division at the Parallel Pass. Thousands of soldiers were ambushed. Shiro Itagaki almost didn’t cut it down. The head of the captain of the supply chain, if he throws an infantry brigade here, with Shiro Itagaki's piss, I'm afraid he will slap him like a big mouth.

People say that pride and low self-esteem are actually twins, and pride is just a protective color of some kind of inferiority complex deep in the heart!

Akira Nakamura, who had been living in the shadow of Itagaki Shiro, made a mistake in his haste, and once again mobilized a [-]-man unit for reinforcements, which was already the last organized infantry brigade he had on hand.

Since then, at the rear of the entire front, the Fifth Division has lost infantry capable of mobile combat. Akira Nakamura only has a tank brigade and less than 400 infantry in his hands.

But until now, Akira Nakamura has not realized the danger. Perhaps it is because he is extremely confident that the Chinese have tried their best to fight on the front line and cannot threaten his rear wings.

The Japanese major general never thought that the scouts of the Chinese army could run so far. In fact, his 105 heavy artillery and 75 mountain artillery positions had already fallen into the observation of a scout team from the reconnaissance company of the Four Elements Regiment.

The Four Elements Regiment forwarded this important enemy situation to two lieutenant generals three days ago. The two lieutenant generals are well-known fighters in the army, so they will miss this opportunity?

Both of them knew that their focus in this battle was not whether they could stop the Fifth Division, but how to reduce casualties.

They are fully confident that they can block their opponents for half a month in this mountain range, and by then the other three directions should have already decided the winner.

But the 105 heavy artillery of the Fifth Division is really terrible. Often, a high ground and an infantry company will be blown into powder in one round of concentrated fire.

Consumed in this way, after half a month, the casualties of their two infantry divisions will definitely exceed 50.00%, which is the blood and lives of nearly 1.3 people.

And the scouts of the Four Elements Group suddenly provided them with such information, how could they let it go?
More than 6000 people were used to encircle an infantry brigade on the right wing of the Japanese army and mobilize the Japanese army. In fact, they were all preparing for the annihilation of the Japanese artillery position that had nowhere to hide.

Then, on that day and night, a well-equipped infantry regiment of the 101st Division, led by a major general, was equipped with submachine guns at a ratio of five to one, and 100 light machine guns. As many as 50 attacked the Japanese artillery positions.

Nakamura, who received the news that the artillery was attacked, turned pale, and immediately ordered the two infantry brigades in front to return for help, but it was obviously too late.

It took less than 2000 hours for 2 Chinese officers and soldiers to completely 'loot' the artillery position!
Nearly 800 Japanese artillerymen were killed, and all their artillery pieces were destroyed by explosives. Half of the nearly 500 rounds of shells stored in the position were detonated, and 75 rounds of [-]mm caliber shells were moved away by the regiment!

The destruction of all 24 artillery pieces is not the reason why this unit became the penultimate in the entire battle. The chain reaction thus produced was that the besieged Japanese army could no longer receive heavy fire support, and the fighter planes flying from the sky dropped The bombs that come can only be a drop in the bucket.

But at this moment, the Chinese side no longer concealed its strength. The two infantry divisions just assembled 28 mountain artillery pieces and more than 30 mortars to bombard the Japanese infantry indiscriminately.

Without heavy fire support, the 'Steel Army' was actually not much better than the 'Mud Army'. The Japanese army only lasted for less than 6 hours before they began to be defeated!
Less than one-tenth of them can escape from birth!

On the sixth day of the war, the Fifth Division had 4 officers killed in battle, more than 2200 officers and soldiers lost in battle, and 24 artillery pieces lost major battle damage to reserve the last place.

It's just that no one expected that the 108th Division would rise up again, and use the head of the major general's brigade commander who could no longer find it to drive the [-]th Division to the penultimate place.

The poor student who successfully placed himself in the bottom three——Nagano Kameichiro was neither sad nor happy. The Japanese army major general who stared at the opponent's position knew very well that he was actually not obsessed with the battlefield in front of him now, and thought more about it. On the contrary, it was after the war.

The Battle of Jindong, which was carefully planned by the Front Army Command, can actually be over.

If the fight continues, there will be no other meaning except to continue to consume the lives of soldiers on both sides, unless the front army can deploy two or three more divisions to deal a fatal blow to the Chinese army here.

But it’s impossible to think about it with your ass. The 20 Chinese troops on the front line in southern Shanxi are not vegetarians. If they find fighters to fight back, most of the Jin province that the front army took more than half a year to occupy may be lost again. There will be a crisis in the strategy of the entire empire, and the front army headquarters will never lose the big because of small things.

The reason why Saburo Okabe, who is currently in command, has not ordered all the troops to retreat is probably for the face of General Sushimoto.

After all, a dignified army general has never fought a battle that can support his appearance since he took the position of commander of the North China Front Army. After racking his brains, he managed to surround [-] to [-] Chinese in the east of Jindong, and he fought one Zhou retreated in despair, where did the general and commander put his face, did he throw it in the latrine?
"Order Yokoyamazawa to suspend all offensives, and don't launch another desperate attack lightly!" Nagano Kameichiro turned back expressionlessly and ordered.

"In addition, the infantry offensive in front of the main Chinese position continued to maintain pressure on the enemy, and the 105 heavy artillery and mountain artillery continued to effectively kill the enemy on the ground!"

"Hi!" All the Japanese army officers bowed their heads in unison.

Many of the Japanese army's assistant officers showed bitterness on their faces. Does this mean that they want to attack by force?
"Your Excellency, Commander, is there any news from the headquarters?" A lieutenant staff officer followed Nagano Kameichiro for a long time, but he heard some different intentions from it, and asked quietly when the standby officers dispersed. road.

"Don't ask too much, you are responsible for ensuring the artillery's various supply needs, strengthening liaison with Shimen's logistics department, and also ensuring the guarding of the artillery unit. The colleagues of the Fifth Division are a lesson from the past, and our division must never do it again." Nagano Kameichiro slanted I glanced at my confidant, but didn't say anything clearly.

The Chinese here love to steal their homes, he must guard against death no matter what, otherwise he will let his future chief of staff personally watch this.

"Hi! Regarding the supplies, please rest assured, Your Excellency, the commander of the division. The supply of shells and various supplies is sufficient. This is a battle organized by the headquarters of the front army. The Shimen side dare not neglect at all!

In addition, there are two infantry squadrons deployed on the artillery brigade, and an additional squadron of heavy soldiers is added. The defense line of nearly a thousand people is not afraid even if a Chinese infantry regiment comes! "The Japanese Army Lieutenant Sergeant bowed his head heavily.

The acting head of the 21st Division finally showed satisfaction in his eyes. If he has clairvoyance and can see Tang Tuanzuo in a dense forest 2000 meters away, he will definitely regret today's arrangement .

The security level for artillery deployment is still not high enough!
It doesn't matter if he's not tall enough, the key is that he doesn't have a crow's mouth!
The Chinese have always believed that, if you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come!

Stealing houses by Tang Tuanzuo is an extremely familiar job!
