Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 857 The stupidity is home!
Lieutenant Takumi Tanaka, the deputy commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment who led the [-]rd Infantry Battalion, did not fail to make efforts.

After learning the news of Ishiguro Sadazo's death in battle, the Japanese Army Lieutenant Commander, who was in command of the Third Infantry Battalion, immediately issued the military order he thought was the most correct --- the entire army evacuated!

The Japanese army lieutenant is also decisive enough, but he is still not as good as his superiors. One is to break through on his own, and the other is to evacuate. It seems that they both run away, but the forms are completely different.

Takumi Tanaka hopes that the 2nd Infantry Wing will have a chance to make a comeback, and at least one infantry brigade can be guaranteed to leave the battlefield as an organization.

Therefore, he ordered the three infantry squadrons of the regiment escort squadron that had burned the regiment flag to stay in charge of blocking the Chinese army 600 meters away from the third infantry brigade, and the rest followed the remaining 400 people of the third infantry brigade. Including all kinds of communications, medical care, supplies and other personnel of the wing headquarters, there are more than 600 people in total, and they retreated northward in a mighty manner.

This is indeed a brave man who cut off his wrists, but for this Japanese army lieutenant, he was not selfless, and even put his selfishness on the table. They stayed on this battlefield to cut off the remnants of the entire regiment, no doubt cutting off the last wings of Ishiguro Sadazo. When the 2nd Infantry Regiment is rebuilt, Takumi Tanaka's Army Lieutenant Commander will undoubtedly be able to control this brand new infantry regiment effortlessly. team.

As for how to pursue responsibility after the war, it is natural that Ishiguro Sadazo, the captain of the Usa United, should bear the blame, but he was already crushed on the spot, and no one can trouble another dead person. On the contrary, Takumi Tanaka can eventually bring hundreds of People evacuate the battlefield, it is meritorious.

It can only be said that the deputy captain of the Lieutenant Assistant, who is usually cautious under Ishiguro Sadazo's command and never shows off, is very clever, and he can still consider the future at such a critical moment of life and death.

The great wisdom is shooting himself in the foot. The more than 140 members of the wing guard squadron who were forced to stay by the military order are demoralized, and their combat effectiveness is not half of what they usually are. What's more, their enemy's reaction is much stronger than theirs.

Leng Feng, the commander of the third battalion, keenly noticed the changes in the battlefield, and immediately changed from defense to offense.

On the frontal battlefield, the 8th company covered the fire support company and moved forward slowly, oppressing the frontal enemy, while Li Jiujin's 7th company quickly detoured from the flanks and approached the Japanese defense line.

In an area close to the Japanese defense line of 300 meters, Leng Feng not only ordered six mortar squads under his command to bombard the Japanese trench area, but also specially generated electricity for the first battalion and the second battalion, asking their mortar squads to provide fire support for him.

Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi have basically entered the battlefield cleaning stage, and they will refuse the third battalion's request for help. A total of 18 82-caliber mortars bombarded the area where the 140 Japanese soldiers with low morale were located. Nearly 5 rounds of shells were poured, and the unbelievable simple trenches that had been destroyed by mountain artillery and 300 mortars were full of ghosts and wolves.

This is the advantage of mortars. If it is replaced by bunkers or concrete fortifications, small-caliber mortar shells will blow up a small hole at most when they fall on it. The mortar shells that fell vertically were the killers. Even if there were trenches as cover, the Japanese infantry would be killed or injured more than 5 within [-] minutes of fire coverage.

Of course, it was not the artillery that really defeated the Japanese army, but the people.

The time of 5 minutes is enough to make the infantry on the frontal battlefield crawl forward 200 meters and get close to the desperate 100 meters. If it is not afraid of being accidentally injured by its own shells, the sharp knife squad of the 8th company can advance to 40 meters at this moment The area where grenades can be thrown is now available.

When the mortars stopped firing and the Japanese infantry wanted to fight back, they found out in despair that the Chinese had set up more than 400 heavy machine guns more than 15 meters away to suppress them, and the bullets rained down on them. Shooting to suppress the resolute advance of the opponent's infantry will be targeted and suppressed by several heavy machine guns, and all the bravery will be lost in the rain of bullets.

As soon as the grenadiers fired the grenades to counter, a bunch of grenades flew over quickly. Now, the Four Elements Regiment is equipped with a grenadier for an infantry squad, and an infantry company has as many as 10 grenades, which is far more than the 6 infantry squadrons of the Japanese army. The scale of the grenade.

In terms of superiority in ground firepower, today's Sixing Regiment completely surpasses an infantry regiment of the Japanese army, let alone half of the infantry squadrons with low morale.

However, in order to avoid heavy casualties, the officers and soldiers of the 8th company and 9 infantry squads did not crawl too eagerly to the bombing area to launch the final attack, but crawled 80 meters away to suppress the Japanese army with various continuous firepower.

If it is said that on the frontal battlefield, the remaining [-] or [-] soldiers of the Japanese army can still hold on for a while, then as Li Jiujin's Seventh Company detoured to the left flank, and resolutely used six grenade shells to cover the attack and shattered the enemy. After they fired desperately at a light machine gun fire point, the Japanese defense line collapsed.

A dozen or so submachine gunmen jumped into the trenches and fired forward alternately. One submachine gun emptied its magazine and immediately replaced it with another submachine gun, almost using bullets to open the way. All the Japanese soldiers who wanted to resist were beaten into a sieve.

This is the most typical Japanese infantry attack method. The frontal battlefield uses firepower to suppress and attract the opponent's firepower, and the two-wing battlefield forms a breakthrough.

The third battalion can be regarded as using their own methods to deal with their own bodies, even better than the Japanese army themselves. The Japanese army suppressed on the frontal battlefield could not even raise their heads, and the flanking battlefield was thunderous. Opportunity.

The overwhelming momentum on the flanking battlefield had already broken the Japanese army's liver and gallbladder, but the last straw that broke the camel's camel was the voice that terrified them.

"Tick tock! Tick tock!" The 8th company blew the charge horn.

The infantry jumped up and charged towards the remnant enemy in the trench. The last dying counterattack of the Japanese infantry only caused a dozen Chinese soldiers to fall on the way to the charge.

This is the most elite guard squadron of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. Under the siege of an infantry battalion of the Four Elements Regiment, they had a complete line of defense and they persisted for no more than 10 minutes, and the casualties they caused would never exceed 20.

There was no tragic hand-to-hand combat. The 7th and 8th companies that charged were equipped with a large number of shell guns and submachine guns. Seeing the shit yellow military uniform was a shuttle of bullets.

However, the elite is the elite. Although the time of resistance and the casualties caused to the opponent are far lower than expected, and there is also a kind of unwillingness to be sent to the "slaughter ground" by the deputy captain Takumi Tanaka, none of the remaining Japanese troops surrendered. His weakness, even the wounded, tried to resist with guns.

This is just in line with the wishes of the Chinese soldiers. They are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. There will never be such kindness as Cheng Dakui who has just had a close contact with life and death. , It is often necessary to make up two shots to ensure safety.

In the last battlefield, the battle was resolved in only 3 minutes, and no Japanese soldier was left alive.

The two infantry companies had no time to reap the results of their own battles. After finishing the battlefield, they continued to run forward. There was still a final battle ahead of them.

That was the cavalry company led by Tang Dao himself, blocking more than 700 deserters led by Tanaka Takumi.

Originally, the accidental death of Ishiguro Sadazo delayed the 2nd Infantry Regiment's final escape by 5 minutes, but Takumi Tanaka, who was so clever, ordered consecutive orders and regrouped the troops to delay another few minutes, giving the cavalry company a rare 10 minutes.

10 minutes is enough time for the soldiers of the cavalry company to dig out the simplest individual bunkers with the individual engineer shovels carried on the horses.

It doesn't need to be too complicated, and there are no sandbags. Just pile the dug up soil in front of people to form a thick bunker. It can't block heavy machine gun bullets and can also slow down rifle bullets. That's better than crawling in the wilderness with no shelter.

The cavalry had already driven the horses 300 meters away, and the light machine guns and grenades carried by the cavalry and the horses were enough to turn them into a light infantry company. Definitely bring heavy machine guns and mortars.

But even so, a 186-meter-long defense line composed of 600 people is not so easy to break through.

The last 2 members of the 700nd Infantry Regiment led by Takumi Tanaka were firmly blocked in this way.

If the lieutenant officer of the Japanese Army recognized the situation early and ordered the various ministries to break through on their own, there might still be a glimmer of life, and at least one-third of them would be able to escape the battlefield.

After all, in order to block the retreat of the Japanese army, the cavalry company gave up their most proud mobility, and the main force of the four-row regiment over there is at least 2000 meters away from here. Just keep your mouth shut, open your legs, and compete for endurance. , The short-legged but strong Japanese infantry has a high chance of escaping from this nightmare battlefield for them.

It's a pity that he, who dreamed of being the captain of the regiment, wanted to keep the last remnants of the 2nd infantry regiment, and that had almost become his obsession.

So, as soon as they arrived on the battlefield, the Japanese infantry charged towards the ready-made cavalry company defense line in his crazy military order.

It was a desperate charge of nearly 400 soldiers from more than two infantry squadrons, and it was also the last desperate fight of the Japanese!

Although Takumi Tanaka made a big mistake, he was still an experienced Japanese army officer after all. He knew that if he didn't try his best at this time, he might not even have the chance to do his best when the Chinese from afar came after him.

Therefore, he used up the last capital of his third infantry brigade at the beginning, and nearly 400 infantrymen charged desperately under the cover of the only three remaining heavy machine guns.

Judging from the actual battlefield, this is an extremely correct tactic. There have been successful cases in history of breaking the boat and fighting to the death, and the opponents are only less than 200 people, and they do not have any heavy weapons.

Maybe this round of decisive charge can still kill the 200 Chinese, thus obtaining the most brilliant result of the 2nd Infantry Regiment in this defeat and loss battle.

But the battlefield is not like love, what is important is not the process but the ending. The tragic ending will make future military historians around the world regard this military order of Takumi Tanaka as the battlefield known as the "Battle of Bihe" in history. One of the more stupid orders.

Because what he was facing was not ordinary infantry, but a group of Chinese cavalry who were required to shoot at a target 150 meters away on horseback at high speed.

They may be inferior to infantry in all aspects of battlefield movement and attacking fortifications, but in terms of marksmanship, their average level is definitely far above ordinary infantry.

Especially when the Japanese infantry launched the "Long Live Charge" regardless of their disregard, 200 lances opened fire one after another when they reached the 170-meter area.

In just one round of shooting, more than 80 Japanese soldiers fell on the way to charge, with a frighteningly high hit rate.

The Japanese soldiers who did not receive the order to retreat all shrank back in fright, but they could only bend down and continue to charge wildly, and then they could only be shot to death like being shot dead.

When they reached the area around 130 meters, no one could rush as fearlessly as before, and they all fell down.

It's not that they were all killed, but that with only two rounds of shooting from the Chinese side, less than half of the 400 people fell down. With such a battle loss rate, anyone who jumps up and runs wildly is looking for a dead end.

Dare to die and drive to death are two concepts, aren't they?

At this time, the Japanese army was able to suppress the Chinese army's defense line with firepower, and there was only one heavy machine gun left as the only seedling, which could not pose a big threat to the Chinese at all.

The reason is simple, the Chinese have a sharpshooter beyond everyone's imagination.

With a distance of more than 400 meters and grass as a cover, each of the two heavy machine guns fired no more than 100 bullets. The Chinese sharpshooter miraculously found their position and fatally shot the shooter.

The main shooter dies, the secondary shooter goes up, and a second later, the secondary shooter dies too.

Heavy machine gunners are all professionally trained. It doesn't mean that one person can hold the gun and shoot. What's more, there are people charging in front of them. There are more people who can't shoot to death than the Chinese.

The heavy machine gun is still there, but the shooter is gone
This is really a sad thing. The eyes of the Japanese army lieutenant were red. If it weren't for a group of people who dragged them hard, Nakazu Tanaka Takumi really had the urge to become a heavy machine gun shooter by himself.

After all, when he was Cao Chang, he also had the experience of manipulating heavy machine guns, and the blood of a soldier is still there.

But to be honest, he has to thank his boss, if it wasn't for Shi Hei Zhenzang who left such a big loophole to let Tang Dao lead the cavalry company to kill the group of "little cabbages" in the artillery squadron, Tang Dao would definitely take Erya with him, And Erya will definitely be carrying the Mosin Nagant with a scope on her back.

And Takumi Tanaka, an unlucky kid, surrounded by so many people, he knew with a fixed eye that this guy was a big guy. The distance of 500 meters was really not difficult for Tang Dao.

Losing the threat of heavy machine guns, the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground and trying to get to the cavalry company's defense line were almost playing against the cavalry company.

Both sides are models of precision shooting. The only difference is that the cavalry companies have bunkers as cover, while the Japanese have nothing.

If the shooting continues like this, it will be clear at a glance who will die more.

The battlefield fell into a short stalemate!
But that is obviously extremely detrimental to the Japanese army.

Because of the distance, Yang Xiaoshan also brought his three engineering platoons and twelve heavy machine guns from the 2nd Artillery Company to surround him from the side.

Yang Xiaoshan was very smart. He knew that the combat effectiveness of the engineers he brought was far inferior to that of the Japanese army. He might not be able to stop the frantic onslaught of the Japanese army eager to escape, so he desperately dug fortifications 600 meters away from the Japanese army's field of vision.

This is really the strength of the engineers.

More than 100 engineers in three engineering platoons dug a trench almost visible to the naked eye, and seven or eight sandbag fortifications were piled up from the excavated earthwork!

If the Japanese want to attack them again, they don't need engineers, just those twelve heavy machine guns can let the Japanese know what is meant by 'why there are so many bullets'!
"It's over!" Takumi Tanaka, who was scanning the surroundings with a telescope, wailed in pain, tears streaming down his face.

The originally fiery gunfire in the rear stopped!

There are Chinese blocking the front and the flanks. Where can he run with hundreds of people?
Can't run, can only defend on the spot, using the civil engineering work that the Imperial Japanese Army is very good at.

A group of Japanese, under the defense of the infantry and under the watchful eye of the Chinese cavalry and engineers, stopped making unnecessary attacks and began to dig trenches, planning to make a final dying counterattack.

That's stupid fucking opening the door to stupidity--stupidity at home!
This is the most unified definition given by later military historians to Takumi Tanaka.

Because, there are not no cases of relying on civil fortifications for defense, but that is when the opponent does not have large-caliber artillery.

As for the Four Elements Group, is that missing?
Obviously there is no shortage, let alone six 6 heavy artillery, even if there are only two, they can blow up the Japanese to death in the trenches like groundhogs.

"Come over with four 1mm mortars from the 4st artillery company, and another four infantry artillery!" Seeing the actions of the Japanese, Tang Dao smiled.

"Pang Dahai will definitely say that the Japanese are really annoying, a waste of my shells!" Gong Shaoxun laughed.

"You stupid Japanese, you're stupid and you're going to hurt me!" Da Dahai, who received the military order on the south bank of the Bihe River, gritted his teeth.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
