Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1250 The real battle begins
The big explosion in Heilonggou was so deafening that Kunizaki Zheng, who was 3000 meters away, heard it very clearly. His inquiry telegram was even 30 seconds earlier than Oshima Masayoshi's request for help telegram.

Then, Kunizaki, who received a telegram from Oshima Masayoshi asking for help, was stunned at that moment.

The tragic Imperial Japanese Army Major General had no idea what had happened for more than an hour.

Didn't the Four Elements Group already agree to run away in embarrassment?Why did he suddenly appear and inflict heavy damage on Oshima Masayoshi, and surrounded hundreds of people.

What, are Oshima Masayoshi and the more than 5000 people under his command pigs?
Oshima Masayoshi did not report the number of battle casualties. Firstly, it was impossible to summarize, and secondly, he still harbored some unrealistic fantasies. Even though Oshima Masayoshi had understood that the death of more than 2000 imperial officers and soldiers was already a direct result. The Second Mixed Brigade, which was wiped out by the entire army, or the 39th Brigade, which was nearly wiped out in the Battle of Shandong.

After all, those two times were battle-level battlefields where China and Japan invested nearly 20 people.

As a result, the Kunisaki detachment was better this time. In an area far away from the main battlefield, a detachment of [-] people faced off against part of an infantry regiment. Both sides had not actually entered the battlefield, and it could not even be considered a test. They were defeated by two. Infantry Brigade.

It's like a man and a woman having sex, choosing a good hotel, cuddling together after taking a shower, and then some people give up.
Just ask me, if this gets out, I will have to lose my face to my grandma’s house.

The only way to save this face is to regain the glory. Even if you know that taking too much of some medicines will end your life, you still have to bite the bullet and do it.

After Kunisaki reacted, he naturally had the same idea as his subordinates. Except for a reinforced infantry squadron that was still protecting the brigade headquarters, the two fully-equipped infantry brigades were all moving quickly towards Hexi Village.

At this point, all the main infantry forces of the Kunisaki detachment entered the battlefield!
Compared with Heilonggou, which has gradually fallen into silence, the battle in the mountains has entered a fever pitch. An infantry brigade, supported by infantry artillery and heavy machine guns, attacked the two infantry companies headed by Tang Li with all their strength.

For Oshima Masayoshi, if the big explosion in Heilonggou was like a knife in the middle that almost killed him, then the Chinese army on the high ground only a few hundred meters away from him was like a shot in from the fixed eye. A mace with thorns not only caused unbearable pain at the time, but also caused subsequent damage. Not removing it is simply irresponsible for one's own life.

The two infantry companies of the Fourth Line Regiment had no intention of escaping. They defended the high ground with the fire support of two howitzers from the artillery company hidden in the mountains near Heilonggou.

They seemed to be the thorn in the flesh of the Japanese army, and they had the ability to pull them out.

Because, in Leng Feng's tactical plan, the two infantry companies that Tang Li and his two sent to Hexi Village were one of the cores of this round of battlefield, and their tactical importance was no less important than that of Shi Hao's troops located on the mountain ridge.

Their tactical role is to attract more Japanese troops and become a thorn in the flesh that the Japanese army has to remove.

To use Leng Feng's exact words at the pre-war preparation meeting: "The regimental commander has already made a conclusion in the post-war summary. In the battle of Qingshiyan, the 4th Battalion should be the number one in the defense of our Four Elements Regiment! Only you can do it." this mission."

The huge explosion in the canyon destroyed the Japanese troops, horses and various equipment still inside, basically laying the foundation for the main force of the Four Lines Regiment, headed by Leng Feng, to achieve a complete victory in this surprise attack without retreating.

But Leng Feng still felt that it was not enough. Since the Fifth Division entered North China, it has been unstoppable, breaking through Xinkou and Yuancheng, and sweeping across northern Shanxi, causing huge casualties to the Chinese soldiers and civilians. Wherever they passed, only broken walls remained in the towns. The walls and villages were ablaze, but they proudly waved their swords and guns to show off their bravery on the land strewn with corpses.

If you want to fight, you have to beat them thoroughly so that when they see the Four Lines Regiment, they will feel a shadow in their hearts, just like the 108th Division.

This time, facing 8 Japanese troops approaching the Taihang Mountains, the Si Xing Regiment dared to split into two. That must be the credit of the cowards of the 108th Division.

More than half a year ago, an infantry brigade of the 108th Division would have dared to go tens of miles away from the county seat and go deep into the mountains to raid and destroy the base area. Now without an infantry brigade, they would not dare to leave 20 miles away from the county seat.

How could a bunch of cowards who had lost their courage be worthy of an elite four-troop group to deal with them? Half of the people already looked up to them.

However, these two infantry companies not only had to withstand the heavy siege of the Japanese army, but also suffered heavy artillery strikes from the Japanese army, and casualties were inevitable.

But as Tang Li said when he stood up to receive the military order: "If there is no sacrifice, then there is victory! Since I entered the Songhu battlefield, I have no intention of living. After living for an extra year and a half, I have already earned more than I can earn." No matter how many Japs there are in the Fifth Division, is it possible that there are more than those in the Four Elements Regiment's warehouse?"

If the last-ditch battle at Sihang Warehouse made these Chinese soldiers like nirvana phoenixes no longer afraid of death, then the battle at Qingshiyan three months ago was like a forging machine, which transformed the four soldiers who had completely transformed in spirit and spirit. The entire battalion is made even more solid as fine steel, not only fearless of death, but also fearless of any opponent.

Of course, the Heilonggou battlefield is spread over an area of ​​about 2.5 kilometers in radius, and the fierce fighting is not just here.

When the exaggerated explosion in the canyon stunned the Chinese and Japanese soldiers, each of them avoided the "human bombs" and countless gravels that were constantly sprayed out by the air waves. After 2 minutes, Leng Feng personally led the four groups that established the blocking position at the entrance of the valley. The officers and soldiers of the regiment woke up from the shock first.

Even though the battlefield is still filled with dust, the dust picked up by the air waves is like a heavy fog, and no one can be seen from 30 meters away.But it must be fought.

"Hit me, even if you can't see him." Leng Feng's low roar echoed throughout the audience.

Four MG300 heavy machine guns located 4 meters behind the position took the lead in roaring, followed by two 34mm Browning heavy machine guns that also opened fire unscrupulously. Nine Czech light machine guns equipped by the infantry company also joined the firing ranks. In addition, more than 2 infantrymen equipped with semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and single-shot rifles also opened fire with full force.

There is no clear target, because there is no field of vision at all. I just shoot at the direction in my memory, and then shoot again.

This blocking position at the mouth of the valley is an extremely rare three-dimensional position. Due to time constraints and unable to dig deep trenches, Leng Feng simply set up fire positions layer by layer according to local conditions.

There are three infantry platoons, one infantry platoon occupies one floor, the fire support platoon occupies one floor, and the 12.7mm heavy machine gun of the artillery company is at the highest position. The gap between each floor is 30 meters, which is just enough to avoid accidental injuries. .

Such a position may not be well used for defense, and it will definitely suffer heavy casualties when it is covered by mountain artillery fire, but it is the most suitable for fighting such a valley mouth blocking battle.

No matter how the Japanese army hid, the bullets fired from up, down, left and right covered almost no blind spots.

In almost an instant, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment poured more than 400 rounds of bullets at the more than 600 Japanese troops who were completely confused. If this speed was followed, more than 1 rounds of bullets could be poured into the Japanese invaders within one minute. , an absolute prodigal shot.

But there is no way. The current battlefield is like being blindfolded. No one can see the other at a distance of nearly 300 meters.

Then, we can only rely on firepower to decide the outcome.

At this point, all tactics are nonsense.What they have to do now is to pour firepower in the opponent's direction regardless of everything, until the dust in the sky is blown away by the wind.

Although the number of the world's first general-purpose machine gun is small, eight 250-round ammunition belts are prepared for each machine gun. The ammunition capacity of 8 rounds of ammunition for one machine gun is something that neither China nor Japan can achieve in this era. Logistics support.

The four flame-spitting MG4s were the most beautiful in the first 34 seconds on this battlefield. Even the astonishingly powerful 30mm heavy machine gun could only defeat them.

This style of suppression that relies purely on firepower output is definitely a nightmare for this wave of Japanese infantry!The Japanese infantrymen who had just experienced air waves and various flying human body parts flying over their heads were already shivering and could only cover their heads and lay on the ground, as if they were frightened quails who did not dare to move easily.

The Chinese are so cruel. Every Japanese soldier with a broken liver and gallbladder utters the most vicious curses in his heart.

But they still scolded them too early. The Chinese are more 'vicious' than they thought!
The metal torrent, which is more dangerous than the air wave, comes one after another, endless.

Bullets raining down on hundreds of Japanese infantrymen were trapped in the wilderness with almost no cover, and there was almost no decent counterattack.

The reason why they said they had no decent counterattack was because anyone who dared to raise their head and raise their body higher than 20 centimeters lost their lives in the hail of bullets.

The dust in the sky rolled up by the air waves covered the eyes of both parties, and all precision had lost its effect.What the troops of the Four Lines Regiment used to deal with the Japanese army was firepower. Completely superior firepower, using a large number of bullets to pile up the enemy in front of them.A few minutes later, when the mountain wind blew away the dust bit by bit and the smoke was no longer enough to block the sight, what appeared in front of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment was a river of blood.

The dozens of Japanese top soldiers who were less than tens of meters away from the front of the position were naturally already dead and could not die anymore.

No one can survive this horrific hail of bullets.

Even if you can instantly turn into a groundhog and dig a hole into the ground to avoid bullets, more than 100 long-handled grenades thrown from a distance can still kill them.

Those who are close are dead, and those who are far away are not much better.

Perhaps, the Japanese soldiers who were further away hoped that they would be the leading soldiers and die faster. This was a blessing for them who had been in a state of suffering.

If you are just beaten by the Chinese soldiers whose firepower far exceeds theirs, you will die and you don't need to think so much.

However, the dust in the sky rolled up by the air waves provided them with a barrier, and the exaggerated firepower was only diffused and sprayed. For the Japanese troops at Taniguchi, the lethality was reduced by at least two-thirds.

In order to avoid the terrifying air waves spraying out of the valley mouth, the Japanese infantrymen who dug temporary field trenches under the command of the squadron commander basically hid in the small ditches they had just dug on both sides of the valley mouth with pale faces.

There may be some natural rocks as bunkers there, but for the number of nearly 300 people, they are really too few.

At the moment when the bullets came, the Japanese infantry had no choice but to crawl to the ground and try their best to get lower and lower.

This is the quality that elite veterans of the Japanese army should have. In this way, even if there is no bunker, it can be enough for them to avoid the torrent of bullets whizzing past their heads.

No one can be so precise that they can shoot a human body lying on the ground 300 meters away with a height of 20 centimeters while their eyes are completely dark. This is not possible for the four-line group who can only rely on memory to shoot in their direction due to poor vision. For the officers and soldiers, hitting them depends entirely on luck.

However, the Four Lines Regiment does not only have machine guns, rifles and submachine guns!
The reason for their prodigal firepower is that in addition to the metal torrent that fired at least 500 rounds of bullets in a few minutes, the 9-gun 60-gun ambushed in the mountain col 200 meters behind also poured at least [-] rounds on both sides of the valley entrance. Cannonballs.

There was no target, and all the gunners were ordered to bombard both sides of the valley mouth indiscriminately.

This time, the Japanese army was in trouble.You can hide from bullets by lying on the ground, but there is nothing you can do about the shells falling from the sky.

Seeing that my companion who was only five meters away and was also hugging Mother Earth tightly was blown up several meters high, and then screamed and fell without making any sound. Moreover, such stories continued to unfold, 200 rounds of artillery shells It almost covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters near the entrance of the valley.

The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be hit by the shells had actually forgotten any sadness at that time. They were mainly afraid.No one knows whether it will be his turn to die in the next moment.

That was all the thoughts that occupied their minds.It was almost like being on the execution ground waiting to be shot.

Waiting, witnessing with your own eyes your fellow comrades leaving helplessly one by one. Perhaps, it will be your turn in the next second to be blown to pieces by a mortar bomb.

This is unbearable suffering for any normal person, even if he is a battle-hardened warrior.The tenacity of nerves cannot withstand the fear of death after all.

After suffering for several minutes, the Japanese soldiers whose mentality was completely broken and who dared to risk their lives and raised their heads and even heroically held their guns and fired bullets at the enemy positions to express their resistance to fate were basically killed by bullets flying in the sky.

There were only a few Japanese soldiers who no longer lay down and waited to be blown into pieces by shells falling from the sky, but ran or crawled desperately to move to the safest position in their memory. In the end, very few Japanese soldiers survived.

The Japanese soldiers who survived were either extremely lucky, or they occupied a good position from the beginning. Not only could they withstand bullets, but they also had enough bunkers to block the flying shrapnel.

But this is only twenty-three out of ten.

In other words, when the dust clears, there will be less than 100 Japanese soldiers alive on the entire battlefield who are still alive and fighting back desperately. Potian can only gather two infantry squads.

Of course, even if the situation is so difficult, even if it is just broken, as the famous steel army of the Japanese Empire, the Japanese infantry have not tried to fight back. They also have seven or eight light machine guns and eight grenades. They also poured out their unyielding and anger on the positions of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment.

However, the firepower was too weak, and it was also aimless.

There were also unlucky officers and soldiers of the Fourth Line Regiment who were hit by shrapnel from grenades or stray bullets. Three people died on the spot and 3 were injured.

This loss is not small for the Four Lines Regiment, but it is acceptable. After all, they took away more than 200 Japanese soldiers in one wave during the shooting battle.

Of course, these losses were not caused by the Japanese infantry who were stunned by the torrent of bullets and fierce shells.

But three Type 3 Xiaoduding tanks.

The armor of the Type 94 tank is very thin. The thickest part of the steel plate is only 10 mm. Due to its size, it cannot be equipped with a tank gun. It only has two 2 mm heavy machine guns. It is more appropriate to call it a tank than an armored vehicle. It is just a piece of cake on the plain battlefield, but it is a rare weapon for the Japanese army to suppress the situation on the mountainous battlefield in Shanxi Province.

The lightweight body allows this armored vehicle, which even the Japanese Army dislikes, to travel on simple mountain roads in mountainous areas. It can also provide fire support to the infantry with two 7.7mm heavy machine guns under the hail of enemy bullets. The Chinese do not have 37mm weapons. When defending against artillery, this little iron lump that can climb over mountains and ridges is simply invincible.

This is also the reason why Oshima Masayoshi waved his hand and let four Type 4 light tanks take the lead into the canyon. This was one of the sources of confidence for the imperial officers and soldiers.

In fact, in addition to a Type 94 tank that was turned over by a huge air wave with its back to the mouth of the valley, it was extremely unfortunate and became an example of "death before leaving the battle". In addition, the 94 little bean sprouts spread out on the left and right wings of the valley mouth did not let down the empire. The expectation of the officers and soldiers was that when the bullets hit like a splash, they could not penetrate the 10mm front steel plate with a clanging sound, even if the steel plate had been riddled with holes by the bullets, like a pockmarked face.

Even if the mortar shell exploded just two or three meters away, it did not cause any substantial damage. The three tank crew members were safe sitting inside, and they also protected a group of Japanese soldiers huddled behind the tank.

They didn't dare to move around. There were friendly troops lying on the ground dodging the bullets. If they drove a few meters, the tracks were bound to be covered with blood and flesh. They could only hold on and use the two machine guns on the vehicle to shoot at the four enemies on the opposite side. The group's position was shot indiscriminately.

The 7.7mm machine gun is extremely powerful. The three soldiers who died in the Fourth Line Regiment were all killed by machine gun bullets in the head and chest.

The steel helmet also became extremely fragile in the face of such a highly kinetic warhead.

The Japanese army still has two squads left, and these three Little Beans have contributed a lot.

However, as the vision clears, their good days are coming to an end.

Two 2mm heavy machine guns targeted them, but at a distance of only 12.7 meters, the Type 500 tank, which just stayed in place and used its body as a shield for the infantry, was like standing at the entrance of Dongguan Lane in the future and waving at you with a sweet smile. The girl just had to say "Welcome to contribute" to the machine gunners.

As the sergeant of the machine gun squad roared, "Fuck him," the muzzle of the heavy machine gun was adjusted, and bullets as thick as thumbs were pressed back into the magazine. The last reliance of the Japanese army was about to end.

Within a distance of 500 meters, even the 89mm armor on the side of the Type 20 tank is not enough in front of the 12.7mm heavy machine gun!
