Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 627 The underrated madness!

Highland No. 3 fell into a brief calm. Compared with the other two highlands, which were full of gunfire, the quietness was almost eerie.

But the attention of almost all Chinese commanders is on Height 3.

Because, before the storm comes, it is always the most peaceful.

Tang Dao received a report from the former linebacker Donglai on the phone.

Tang Dao's face was as calm as a rock in winter.

Perhaps only those who are familiar with him can feel the sadness hidden in his cold and sharp eyes.

In just half a day of fighting, more than 3 people were reduced in No. 170 Highland, 100 were killed in battle, 70 were seriously injured, and more than 120 people from the two infantry companies remained on the ground.

Just before the bloody hand-to-hand battle, Wei Donglai had already mobilized the reserve of his last infantry platoon. . .

If the fight continues at this intensity, the No. 3 Highland defenders will be exhausted before sunset.

Huge casualties are not the most terrible.

In terms of record, these two companies of the Sichuan Army in the name of shame have definitely achieved the best record of the Sichuan Army in this era.

In front of their positions, there were more than 500 corpses without counting.

A battle loss ratio of one to three is enough to make them feel ashamed.

However, the battle situation is developing in the worst direction predicted by Tang Dao. The crazy Kunizaki really started a war of attrition, but what he consumed was the dog-legged Jing'an army, not the regular army under his command.

The Japanese army seems to have identified the No. 3 highland. Although the fighting on the other two highlands was also fierce, it was far from the point where the infantry of both sides had already engaged in several hand-to-hand battles for the front-line trenches.

"Wei Donglai, tell me if you can persist, if not, I will send an additional infantry company to reinforce your department!" Tang Dao tried to calm his tone.

"Sir, I need reinforcements, but I know that the Japanese army's cannons are waiting for the reinforcements. Brothers, you can't let your brothers die under the Japanese shells in vain. Let me and my brothers stand up again. As long as the Japanese and the Japanese The second devil is not that crazy, I don't think it's a problem to make it through the night." Wei Donglai replied.

"Okay! Then do you need anything else?" Tang Dao nodded.

He can send a reconnaissance team to the area where the Japanese army is located to conduct reconnaissance and guidance. Of course, the Japanese army is not a vegetarian. Their reconnaissance soldiers must also hide in the mountains and forests to observe the rear of the highland.

During the day, it is not the best time for reinforcements.This is because Tang Dao communicated with the highland commanders before the war.

"I only have one request!"

"Say!"

"I request to send a stretcher team to transport our seriously wounded! Otherwise, I am afraid that many brothers will not survive the night. The hemostatic medicine on the ground will not work for their injuries, and I cannot just watch them die."

"Okay! I promise you this request!" Tang Dao agreed without hesitation.

The transfer of a small wounded may seem simple, but it is actually extremely difficult.

Just as Tang Dao was worried, the Japanese army was also playing the game of "siege and fight for aid". The Japanese scout soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests immediately fired signal flares when they saw someone moving towards the No. 3 highland in the distance.

The Japanese artillery group immediately fired at the predetermined coordinates, and the artillery fire covered almost all the mountain roads leading to No. 3 Highland.

A stretcher team composed of 10 people plus six armed escort soldiers, only half of them could finally pass through the blockade.

If an infantry company is really sent, I am afraid that no more than 50 will be able to reach the high ground alive.

However, this is the simplest request of the commander who fought bloody battles on the high ground. As a commander, he understands that his Tang Dao will not let him down.

The price is naturally huge.

Three consecutive stretcher teams rushed into the sky, and at the cost of 16 people lost in the battle, 15 seriously wounded were lifted from the high ground.

16 people died! 15 people are not necessarily born.

In fact, only 6 of the seriously wounded who were lifted from the high ground survived to the third day after the war.

If this is an arithmetic problem, Tang Dao, the answerer, will fail at all.

But war is never a simple calculation of numbers.

Tang Dao thought it was worth it.

Just like he led these soldiers to fight here.

As a future man, of course he knows that with the current trend of the entire war, Naqu Jinling Elegy is inevitable. He can completely lead his troops to retreat to the other side of the river and purge his subordinates in order to fight again in the future.

But he didn't, even if he was a mantis, he still had to find an explanation for Jinling's sorrow, and if he missed today, it would be difficult for him to find them again.

If these beasts want to be butchers, they must first taste the taste of being slaughtered.

His soldiers thought it worth it too.

The soldiers of the stretcher team threw themselves into artillery fire without hesitation, even if they knew they would never return.

They not only saved the lives of the seriously wounded, but more importantly, kept the last hope of the comrades on the high ground.

You dare to die, we also dare to die!
For a soldier, the most important thing is life and death, but for the commanders, what they have to face is whether it is a hundred or a thousand, a thousand or ten thousand.

This is war. Whether it is the supreme commander, mid-level or low-level officers or soldiers, they all have to make their own choices because of what they want to stick to.

Tang Dao decides the life and death of more than [-] people; Wei Donglai decides whether he and the hundreds of people under his command survive or not;

However, neither of China and Japan may have imagined that the previous tragedy that made the hair stand on end was just a warm-up compared to the sunny afternoon.

Everyone underestimated Kunisaki's determination, including Li Shoushan and Takeuchi Yunshan.

Through the analysis of the battle report, Kunizaki judged that among the three highlands on the Chinese side, the No. 3 highland is the one with the weakest firepower. After a morning of bloody battles, they are now at the end of their strength.

Just a little more push and they'll crumble.

The Jing'an Army, which had almost been defeated, did not become the main force this time, and a Japanese infantry brigade took their place.

Takeuchi Yunshan, who hadn't spoken much for an hour, read the order of Major General Kunizaki Teng sent by the messenger, and the first thing he said was to issue a military order to reorganize the team to attack the mountain, and to use two nearly full-staffed infantry squadrons In addition, a cavalry squadron that arrived almost at the same time as Kunizaki's warrant arrived to form a death squad to launch a desperate attack again.

The cavalry naturally had horses. The No. 3 highland is not that kind of precipitous place, and the slope is relatively gentle. It is not difficult to ride up the mountain. Of course they have to wait until the two infantry squadrons rush into the position, and then charge up the mountain on horseback. With the height and strength of the horse, the saber wielded in the hand is used to destroy the Chinese soldiers who may fight hand-to-hand on the ground.

Moreover, the two Type 89 tanks were reached by the tank soldiers on the road paved with sandbags and wood by the engineers to the slope of the No. 3 highland. The thick armor and the raised 57mm tank gun gave the Japanese infantry enough courage.

This is also the tactical adjustment Takeuchi Yunzan made after accepting the lesson of being defeated by the Chinese in the last round of hand-to-hand combat under his command. No matter how powerful the Chinese are, they can only resist in vain in front of the sabers wielded by the cavalry on tall horses. .

Since ancient times, infantry have been like chickens and dogs in front of cavalry rushing into the queue, even in the era of hot weapons.

Of course, the reason why Takeuchi Yunshan dared to invest nearly 400 regular troops in this way was because the bomber formation from the navy arrived.

The commander of the Japanese Navy Fleet, who suffered another loss, was extremely angry. In the second wave of attacks, he dispatched a huge bomber formation escorted by 8 fighter jets and 18 bombers fully loaded with aerial bombs.

It's just that the huge and menacing bomber formation was honest after all, and dropped bombs at an altitude of 1000 meters without falling below 1000 meters.

There was no resistance on the ground.

Everyone hid in the tunnel.

Japanese warplanes dropped more than 6 tons of bombs on three hills.

In addition, under Kunizaki's personal order, 4 105 howitzers, 16 mountain guns, and 12 infantry guns bombarded Highland No. 3 for more than two hours.

According to the statistics of the Japanese logistics officer after the war, at the request of Major General Kunizaki, 32 artillery pieces fired a total of 3000 shells, and only 105 howitzers fired 200 shells.

And that is half of the storage capacity of the 105 howitzer shells.

It can be said that since the violent bombing and shelling in the afternoon, the two positions on the top of Highland No. 3 have almost ceased to exist. The soil can bury a person's ankles.

The only thing that allows soldiers to avoid bullets is the huge craters with a diameter of two meters.
