Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 690 The pride of being chipped away!

For the 4th company of the independent battalion here, this battle is undoubtedly a complete victory.

In addition to annihilating the Japanese army in the rear according to the order of the Tang Dao Army so that no one escaped, they also seized the luggage of more than a dozen carts.

But what is even more gratifying is that in addition to the three-day food supply for more than 2000 people in the whole camp, there were also 200 infantry artillery shells and tens of thousands of machine rifle bullets in that batch of luggage.

If it is paired with more than 200 rifles, grenades, and light machine guns seized in this battle, it can properly arm two infantry companies equipped with all-Japanese weapons. Those Sichuan Army brothers who still hold old sleeves will definitely will like it.

This is definitely overfulfilling the task taught by Tang Dao.

In exchange for all these victories, the loss was only two sacrifices, and more than 10 people were injured, and the small losses were almost negligible.

Not to mention that the company commander Zhao Daqiang was so happy that he would rather withhold a month's salary and give Tudou a pack of cigarettes as a reward. .

That was their unprecedented victory.

Except for themselves, no one could understand why these soldiers were so emotional after fighting a 'little battle'.

Of course, they have all fought big battles, far more than this kind of multi-hundred-person battle. They have also won victories, but that was in exchange for sacrifices.

When the afterglow of the setting sun fell, the Japanese army finally retreated, what was left for them?
It is the battlefield full of desolation, the painful groans of comrades-in-arms, and the extremely cold face that is already as pale as paper.

The whole field is.

Especially on the Songhu battlefield, do you know where the soldiers least like to go?It's a third-line trench.

Everyone would rather stay in the first-line and second-line trenches to suffer from Japanese artillery shells than stay in the safer third-line trenches.

Because there is an area where the remains of soldiers are stored, the Japanese army attacked non-stop during the day, and the remains that were too late to be transported to the rear were all piled up in the trenches, like rotten logs.

What's more frightening is that when the weather is hot, the smell of death is no longer gloomy, but rotten.

Whether it is the 26th Division or the 88th Division, they almost all have similar experiences.

Whether it is failure or victory, they all need to use huge sacrifices in exchange for it.

But now, the battle damage is minimal, and they no longer see that familiar scene, but the Japanese army is full of dead bodies, how can they not be excited!

However, they quickly calmed down their agitated hearts, and Zhao Daqiang only gave Quanlian 10 minutes to rest.

The battle on the main battlefield is still going on, they can't just rest on their laurels and wait to enjoy the fruits of victory.

The ambush of the follow-up troops of the Japanese army was successfully completed, but it does not mean that it will be so easy in the valley.

You know, through the reconnaissance of the special operations team, the total strength of this Japanese army reached more than 2200. Excluding this group of 300 Japanese troops and an infantry squadron at the head, the Japanese army surrounded in the valley was as high as 1700. This force has even exceeded the valley. Independent battalions on both sides.

Although they had geographical advantages and used the "flying thunder cannon" to blow up the Japanese army, the Japanese army was not a pig. They had excellent equipment, good tactical discipline, and the so-called samurai spirit that dared to risk their lives.

It took more than an hour for the battle here to end smoothly, but the sound of guns and artillery in the valley has not stopped, and it is extremely fierce, and the Japanese army will not be willing to be poked if they want to come.

And Takeuchi Yunshan was about 300 meters away from the end of the valley, looking bitterly at the raging battlefield ahead.

Although his thoughts are somewhat selfish, there is no problem tactically.

Whether it is the front or the rear, he must open a channel.

Otherwise, despite the fact that he has nearly 2000 troops in the river valley, under the pressure of the firepower of the Chinese who completely occupy the dominant terrain, the casualties under his command will only increase, and the number of troops that can defend will become less and less. As time goes by, the final outcome can only be death.

Everyone, including himself.

The sound of blazing guns from the rear has already told Takeuchi Yunshan that the Chinese who have been counting on him for some time have also attacked his rear team, expecting the main force of the detachment who are still separated by mountains to rescue him, it has basically become fantasy.

Reminiscent of the fact that Kunisaki Teng sent him to join him by telegram because he finally surrounded hundreds of Chinese elites, and Takeuchi Yunshan, who suddenly came to his senses, felt cold all over his body.

What if the Chinese under siege are throwing themselves into the trap?Isn't it like fishing, casting bait to attract fish, and then using a big net to catch all the fish!
How ruthless should the Chinese commander be who can set up this situation?

And what scares Takeuchi Yunshan the most is, how could a commander who dared to send hundreds of people as bait to his opponent's mouth easily let go of the prey he already had in his mouth?

Perhaps, apart from the mysterious weapon that can throw the explosive package more than 100 meters, there are more terrifying arrangements waiting for him.

He can only and must do his best!

Takeuchi Yunshan's desperate method was to use the hundreds of people he can still directly command to attack the hill at the end of the valley, which is the lifeline of all the Japanese troops in the valley.

Only a few light machine guns need to be set up on the hill to completely block the entire road. If the hill is not conquered, even the 94 armored vehicle that has not been destroyed will not be able to cross the road full of death.

That's right, at least two infantry squads have fallen in disorder on the mountain road where carts can pass, and that is the final outcome of the imperial infantry who shouted "on board" within nearly an hour.

With nearly an hour of fighting, Takeuchi Yunshan, who launched three consecutive onboard charges at all costs, was desperate.

Although the strength of the Chinese on the hill that firmly locked the mountain road was not large, the equipment was well equipped, which made the imperial infantry feel sad.

It doesn't matter if they have more submachine guns, which are the standard equipment of the elite Chinese army. Faced with such a Chinese army, the Imperial Army usually chooses to use artillery to solve the problem. Unfortunately, it does not have artillery now.

But the Chinese even have too many heavy machine guns. On a small hill, the Chinese with no more than two infantry companies have placed at least 6 heavy machine guns and 6 flames that can be sprayed out at any time. It's an infantry nightmare.

Yes, for Colonel Takeuchi Yunshan and the hundreds of Japanese infantry under his command, this is a battlefield they have never experienced.

On the North China Plain, they have been invincible. They have 105 howitzers, 75 mountain guns, and bombers to help out.First it was bombarded by artillery, then by planes, and then by infantry. Once these three axes were sacrificed, few Chinese troops could resist them.

But here?Not to mention being ambushed, the single-wheel equipment, aircraft and cannons are all gone, and the three axes are missing, first of all, two are missing. This is not counted. At this time, the Japanese army does not even have heavy machine guns. Light machine guns and grenades.

All the heavy machine guns and infantry artillery were left in the valley by the wise Takeuchi Yunshan to resist the Chinese attacks from the mountains on both sides.

But if all those heavy weapons are transferred here, what will be the consequences?Takeuchi Yunshan was sure that maybe he didn't even have the chance to attack this small hill. The Chinese with all kinds of light and heavy weapons had already crushed the infantry in the valley.

Without the infantry in the river valley to contain the main force of the Chinese, we can't finish playing together!

However, that might be good, at least now he won't be so sad that he almost shrinks back into his abdominal cavity.

Takeuchi Yunshan couldn't be harsh on his subordinates. A half-infantry squadron plus a guard squadron with a strength of more than 500 troops launched a total of three deadly attacks, but each time they left at least hundreds of remains and were repelled. Up to now, there are no more than 200 people who can still fight.

The only grenadier that could pose a threat to the Chinese was suppressed by Chinese gunners, a larger number of grenadiers and large-caliber mortars, and it was impossible to suppress the firepower of its heavy machine guns.

That was unknown to the Japanese army. It was Qian Dazhu's third company that was in charge of defending the hill that blocked the Japanese army's rear, and also sent an additional platoon of Cheng Tieshou's fire support company. Another platoon was formed with 30 veterans who had been in the military for more than 5 years.

Under Qian Dazhu's order, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, and shell guns hit the Japanese infantry, and all other grenadiers, mortars, and riflemen with accurate marksmanship are mainly Japanese grenadiers. It is a strange thing that the drummer does not suffer.

The grenadiers suffered heavy casualties, and the 6 heavy machine guns were completely unscrupulous in killing and wounding the infantry. If the infantry made a deadly charge, it was just a living target, and it would not work if they were covered with amulets.

So much so that the captain of the guard squadron who was still alive suggested to him, please choose to stick to it and wait for help.

No one is willing to struggle to die anymore. Even if they die eventually, it will be a little later than dying now. At least there is still time to write a farewell letter to their family members, even if it is just one sentence!
Takeuchi Yunshan looked at the soldiers who were already desperate and unwilling to carry out the 'onboard' charge, tears rolled down his face.

He knew that his subordinates had lost their courage.

The pride of the Fifth Division "Steel Army" was severely chiseled away by the Chinese with bullets and bombs.
