Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1444 Can’t we kill you?

A seven-foot-tall man wearing Japanese military trousers on the lower body and naked upper body, exuding a strong smell of blood, grinned at three stunned Chinese soldiers in the trench, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

  Just like a wolf that has successfully hunted and invites its companions to eat!

"You are good!" The big man pointed at Shi Dakuan, who was still holding the Mauser with one hand hanging down, and laughed. "Although I have a strong Sichuan accent and fluent hometown dialect, and I have slaughtered five Japanese soldiers, which has made you believe that I am a Chinese soldier, you still did not turn off the bolt safety to prevent new accidents, unlike the other two who heard that I was a Tang Dao and were attracted by my fame and took the initiative to turn off the safety.

On the battlefield, you must be alert to all dangers. Just for this, it is worth it for me to accompany a little sergeant like you to fight. See you later!"

"By the way, go back and tell your Captain Lu that among the reported military exploits, there are my Tang Dao personal exploits of killing 9 Japanese invaders, and another 3 killed by my subordinates. Only belong to you three, and the other one was counted as you wounding and killing me, so it's considered as our joint military exploits, so split it in half." Before climbing down the trench and disappearing into the bushes, the big man grinned at Shi Dakuan and said something.

That was the first time Shi Dakuan saw the legendary Tang Tuanzu!

Obviously, this beast-like man was not the same as the legendary Tang Tuanzuo who commanded troops with ease and godlike ability, but the impression he left was something Shi Dakuan would never forget.

Because it is really too brutal.

After the search, a total of 15 Japanese soldiers' bodies were left on the high ground. In addition to the 6 Japanese soldiers with grenade shrapnel wounds and gunshot wounds, the other 9 Japanese soldiers were all killed by cold weapons or with their bare hands.

The worst hit among them were the four Japanese soldiers on the second-line position, including two riflemen, a machine gunner and a grenade thrower. All of them had broken vertebrae in their necks and their heads were twisted at an angle of more than 4 degrees.

The only explanation was that someone had quietly and silently stepped into his position and twisted his spine with a force that could have flipped a bull.

A body of a Japanese soldier stripped of his uniform and abandoned in the distance proved why Tang Tuanzuo was wearing Japanese military trousers and leather boots. It was obvious that after he killed the wounded Japanese soldier, he disguised himself as a wounded Japanese soldier and crawled on the spot. When the Japanese soldiers hurried forward to check, he suddenly killed them. At a distance of only ten meters, the Japanese soldiers only had time to fire two shots, both of which were blocked by the body of the Japanese soldier he killed first. Then he killed two elite Japanese infantrymen with two moves.

After hearing Shi Dakuan's description of the situation on the battlefield and Tang Dao's instructions before he left, the army colonel, who had been furious and wanted to put Shi Dakuan and the other two in solitary confinement, smiled bitterly.

  As the head of a regiment and even the supreme commander of the entire Beidoushan encirclement, would Tang Dao run to an insignificant small battlefield on the Japanese flank to show off his power for no reason?

This is to express his dissatisfaction to the division commander surnamed Hu! The 11th and 18th divisions have already made a lot of military achievements. He doesn't care about sending the 31st Regiment, which has little combat effectiveness, to share the military merits, but you can't forget the well digger when you drink water, right?

He is just a small army colonel and is not qualified to report his military achievements, but you, the No. 18 figure in the 2th Army, can! It is their business whether the higher-ups approve it or not, but it is your business whether to report it or not.

Tang Dao went deep into the besieged Japanese positions with only two officers and used his superb military skills to kill people in large numbers to tell the top leaders of the 18th Army that he was very unhappy, extremely unhappy.

Thinking more deeply, the army colonel's vest was covered with cold sweat. He could kill the Japanese like this, so what if he wanted to kill someone who offended him?

Can the layers of guards stop him? The army colonel looked around. Although he knew that there were more than 30 guards on duty around his temporary regiment headquarters, he did not feel safe at all.

He might be able to defend against him temporarily, but could he defend against someone with such terrible individual skills for a lifetime? The answer was obviously no.

To a certain extent, Tang Dao's move was a naked threat, telling those who wanted to harm him that they could provoke him, but don't anger him, especially don't cross his bottom line, otherwise, he would really kill people.

His personal danger level is not even less than that of the entire Four Lines Group.

  Because, you can mobilize a large army to encircle a regiment, and if one division is not enough, then use ten divisions. But how can you defend against a fierce man who has such superb skills in traditional Chinese martial arts, hot weapons, and tactical strategies?

Thinking of this, the army colonel shuddered involuntarily. Perhaps, the Tang sword that was shown to the world for the first time was not just for the 18th Army to see.

"You go and have a rest first. Your military achievements will be reported according to Captain Tang's instructions." The army colonel waved his hand and told Shi Dakuan, who was waiting to be scolded, to get out.

  Perhaps, the person who benefited the most from this night assault on the Highlands, which can be recorded as a classic battle, was Shi Dakuan, the soldier who was promoted on the front line!

All Tang Dao told before he left was to tell the 31st Regiment that the three soldiers were people with military merit, especially Shi Dakuan, who he rated as "good". He would protect this person.

The fact that he was able to protect the three soldiers even when he was so furious showed that Tang Dao had not forgotten his identity as a commander.

Of course, even if Tang Dao did not come forward to guarantee, the army colonel who already had few soldiers under his command would at most put the three young men in confinement for three days. After all, the three men not only sneaked into the Japanese position and killed several Japanese soldiers, but also by chance, Tang Dao killed all the Japanese invaders on the position. His 3st Regiment occupied Hill 3 at the cost of one death and six injuries in two guard squads.

A nail was successfully driven into the Japanese defense line. Now there were 36 officers and soldiers, one heavy machine gun and three light machine guns on that position. If the Japanese wanted to reoccupy it, they would have to pay one or two hundred casualties.

If the Japanese army could no longer maintain this consumption at this time, it would only mean that the Japanese troops on the two separated high grounds were completely abandoned. Not only would there be no fire cover on the flanks, but even supplies would be difficult to obtain.

Without any soldiers, just wait for ten days or half a month, and hunger will help to solve the problem of the stubborn Japanese devils.

"This guy Tang Dao cannot be judged by common sense! It's better not to provoke him!" After reading the telegram report from the army colonel, the commander of the 18th Division, surnamed Luo, looked solemn.

  "Yes! It is said that the ultimate dream of men is to 'hold the power of the world when awake, and sleep on the lap of a beautiful woman when drunk'. Power, wealth and beauty are the three magic weapons that attract men. Although we fight for our country and nation on the battlefield, we have to admit that it is very satisfying to command the army and have them obey us.

But in Tang Dao, I found that these three things had no appeal to him at all." The face of the commander surnamed Hu, who added a piece of firewood to the blazing bonfire, was illuminated by the flickering firelight and it was difficult to tell whether he was sunny or cloudy.

"When I tested him on military deployment that day, I didn't actually want him to fight for the left wing position in the central battlefield of Shipai. He knew very well that if I didn't receive him in the tactical operations room, he wouldn't have to fight for it. Since I chose to meet him there, it was decided that his Fourth Line Regiment would guard my flank.

But he still chose to show me the strength of his Four Lines Group and his own abilities. Maybe he was a little reserved, but he still told me firmly that he could do it. "

  The reflection of fire flickered in the eyes of the division commander surnamed Hu, as if two flames rose in his eyes: "Brother Luo, I don't know if you believe it or not, but in that war room, I felt an extremely strong confidence from Tang Dao. Our army will win the battle to defend Shipai!

Because I saw a desire in his eyes, a desire to kill, or more precisely, a desire to kill the Japanese.

It seemed that this war was a desperate counterattack for others, but for him, it was nothing more than a feast of killing the Japanese.

And this is exactly the fact. Not counting other battlefields in Shipai, we killed 8000 Japanese soldiers in front of the Sihang Regiment alone. Now we have surrounded two more Japanese armies, with a total strength of up to 1.5 Japanese soldiers. That is the number of Japanese soldiers that could only be killed in a medium-sized battle.

During the bloody battle of Taierzhuang, General Li led his 60 troops and fought the Japanese invaders for more than a month before he found an opportunity to fight. However, he wiped out only more than 2 Japanese invaders in one fell swoop.

People like him seemed to be sent by God to deal with the Japanese.

How can such a person not become a friend during this national war? "

"But according to the news from the theater command, that person is somewhat displeased with him." Commander Luo pointed to the sky.

"Brother Luo, to be honest, if there was a friendly army like the Four Strings Regiment fighting side by side on the battlefield, what would you think?" Commander Hu changed the subject. "Of course I would welcome them. Not only is the Four Strings Regiment strong, but more importantly, I can trust them with my back, unlike some people who, when they see the situation is not right, run faster than a rabbit. I have to be careful not to be sold out by these bastards." Commander Luo answered without hesitation.

"Haha! That's it. The reason why that person dislikes him is not because he dislikes his combat style and tough attitude towards Japan, but because he dislikes his social circle. It's because the people he socializes with are all from the factions that he is wary of and guard against, but we are different." The division commander surnamed Hu laughed.

"Oh! I understand!" Commander Luo nodded slightly. "We are soldiers. At this time of national war, we should do what soldiers should do. Go to hell with Teliang for having different political views."

"So, Captain Tang's anger is not directed at you and me. I will report the battle report truthfully to the theater headquarters and let the tall guy worry about it." The division commander surnamed Hu used a wooden stick to pick out a blackened sweet potato from the campfire, patted the wood ash on it with his hand, and his eyes flashed.

"But since Captain Tang has done this, we can't just pretend we don't see it. I think we should go to Beidou Mountain tomorrow. The evaluation of military merits and promotion of military ranks are not something you and I can decide, but we can still make decisions on other matters."

"That's no problem. The Tenth Army has sent a lot of supplies to our army under the order of the theater headquarters. Your two divisions and I can share some with the Four-Line Regiment to prevent Tang Dao from saying behind our backs that we are disloyal." The division commander surnamed Luo also smiled and picked up a roasted sweet potato, saying with a smile.

"I think it won't be long before those stubborn Japanese soldiers who refuse to surrender won't even have sweet potatoes to eat."

Commander Hu did not respond, but started to eat the sweet potatoes with relish.

Being able to force the 11th Army of the Japanese China Expeditionary Army into such a state was truly the most satisfying battle he had ever experienced since he joined the army.

However, these are not pie in the sky, but are achieved at the cost of the sacrifices of tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers.

The losses of various units have been counted in the past few days. In the Third War Zone alone, 1.2 officers and soldiers were killed and 2.3 were injured. As the main force participating in the war in the Third War Zone, the losses of the three infantry divisions of the 18th Army, which was ordered to garrison the Shipai Fortress, accounted for two-thirds of the casualties.

Of course, the Japanese army suffered even greater losses. There were more than 1.1 corpses on the battlefield alone that they did not have time to drag away. According to estimates, their casualties exceeded 4.5, not to mention the thousands of Japanese soldiers in the encirclement who were about to have no sweet potatoes to eat.

The wish of the two Chinese generals who ate sweet potatoes and wished the Japanese would not even have sweet potatoes to eat came true on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year.

The Japanese army, which was surrounded like an iron wall, had become very frugal and wanted to count the rice before putting it into the pot. However, there were too many people and too little porridge. After being besieged for 8 days, they finally ate up the last grain of rice of the baggage train.

The 231st Infantry Regiment began to slaughter pack horses and military horses. The sound of gunfire and the neighing of pack horses echoed throughout the valley.

"Tsk tsk! The Japanese are out of food. I want to see how many horses they have to eat." A Dong used a bayonet to pry open a can of Japanese beef. "What a pity! When we go to collect the bodies of the Japanese, there will be no more delicious beef cans."

"You kid, you are not provoking the Japanese, you are purely provoking your brothers. If I remember correctly, this is the second can of food you have eaten today." Boss Cao, who was smoking nearby, glanced at Adong and said unhappily.

That was really just one glance, and only the one-eyed Boss Cao could do that.

"Squad leader, look at what you said, you are just hungry! The food in the kitchen is not ready yet, so you have to use this to make up for it." A Dong quickly took out two packs of cigarettes and threw them to the soldiers around him. "Come on, brothers, you are free anyway, have a smoke."

Adong is now one of the few "rich" people in the Four-Line Regiment. Ever since he discovered a place where the Japanese army got water, he took two people from his class and traveled several kilometers to a mountain peak to stake out the place.

The mountain was extremely difficult to climb, but Adong, a wild boy who grew up in Wangwu Mountain, actually led the two of them to climb up the cliff. That was not all. The mountain was 420 meters away from the Japanese water-drawing point. Adong borrowed a telescope from Boss Cao and used it as a sight. He successfully ambushed two Japanese soldiers who were drawing water on the cliff.

It would have been fine if they had only shot two people, but the Japanese were really not very smart. In order to rescue their colleagues, eight people rushed forward one after another. In the end, they were all shot dead by Adong who was hiding in the crevices of the rocks.

The Japanese army used mortars, infantry guns, and grenade launchers, but to no avail!

Three people shot and killed 3 Japanese soldiers, and they were rewarded with 10 cans of food. As the leader and the person who implemented the plan, Adong got 20 cans of food. He was so proud of getting two cans a day.

However, seeing that the "dog tycoon" Adong was so sensible, Boss Cao didn't bother with the boastful boy any more.

"Sergeant, how many days do you think the Japanese can hold out? They're standing on the mountain in the cold wind every day, and I feel like my bones are cold." A Dong sat down next to Boss Cao and offered him a cigarette.

"Hehe, we have a reverse slope position and we have fire every day, yet we still feel cold. The Japanese don't even dare to make a fire, so isn't it even colder? They are starting to kill horses now. Just as you said, hundreds of horses can produce 3 kilograms of meat. How many thousands of people can survive for another half a month if they save on food? The key is that the meat will go bad as soon as the sun comes out and the weather gets warmer. By late March at the latest, they will have to dig wild vegetables and eat grass roots all over the mountains. I estimate they can last another week, and by Qingming Festival, it will be just the right time to collect the bodies of those bastards. Isn't that a good day?" Boss Cao took a puff of his cigarette.

"Then do you think the Japanese will send someone to rescue them? It's been such a long time, and there will be many troubles!" When Adong thought that he would have to stay for at least another month, his face couldn't help but turn bitter.

"It's fine if they don't come. But if they come, they will have to be like these devils and live as savages in the mountains for me." Boss Cao looked at the Wushan Sea of ​​Clouds with rising clouds, his eyes full of confidence.

When Boss Cao went to the regiment headquarters for a meeting, he heard from Tang Dao that the Third and Fifth War Zone Commands had made up their minds this time. In order to trap and kill these thousands of Japanese devils, they deployed more than 18 troops from Songzi to Dangyang and then to Changyang, Zigui and other places, including 6 main infantry divisions.

If any Japanese troops come to rescue us, we will open the way for them to come. However, it is easy for them to come, but it is extremely difficult for them to leave.

If the Japanese dare not come, then we will use the siege tactic to force the Japanese troops who are short of food and clothing to surrender.

The surrender of the organized Japanese army was definitely a heavy blow to the Japanese army, but for the Chinese side, it was even more impressive than annihilating a Japanese division.

As for not surrendering, the Chinese command had not yet thought of this possibility, because starving to death is really a cruel way to die.

Perhaps only Tang Dao knows that the Japanese people have an almost paranoid tenacity, and they will really do some things that are against human nature.

However, Tang Dao welcomed their behavior. Only dead devils were good devils. He believed that China did not need the organized surrender of the Japanese army to boost morale. Spreading photos of their starving people all over China and the world was the right thing to do.

The 231st Infantry Regiment at least had several hundred pack horses to slaughter for meat, but the Zhengu Detachment, which was surrounded in the Sifang Bay area, was in a miserable situation. Most of their pack horses had died in the crazy artillery bombardment half a month ago, and the stored meat had long since deteriorated.

In fact, they had already started digging wild vegetables on the first day of the Chinese New Year.
