Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 858 Chapter 858 Completely wiped out!

Of course, Pang Dahai was not afraid of laboriously transporting heavy 150-caliber mortars and infantry guns across the Bihe River. The infantrymen of the Four-row Regiment had almost the same choice of crossing the river as the Japanese army. Warm up by the fire.

The artillery is equipped with pack horses, which can be divided into several parts and carried on the back of the pack horse. The trouble is that after landing, not only must the people be dressed warmly, but also the water on the horse should be dried, otherwise the pack horse will catch a cold and get sick. a nuisance.

But these troublesome things are nothing compared to wasting hundreds of shells. When I think that the shells that I have worked so hard to move along the way will all fall on the heads of the Japanese who don’t run away and are stubbornly resisting, Pang Dahai's face was so gloomy that water would drip out.

In order to ensure that the gang of artillerymen who were excited would not be so wasteful, Pang Haihai, who arrived with 4 150 mortars and 4 infantry guns, observed the battlefield and formulated the bombardment coordinates himself.

While the artillerymen were busy, the [-]rd Battalion, [-]st Battalion, and [-]nd Battalion arrived and completely surrounded the remnants of Takumi Tanaka.

It was really 360 degrees without any dead angle. Just 500 meters away from the position that the remnants of the Japanese army were desperately building, a total of 9 infantry companies and 3 fire support companies formed a huge ring.

The cavalry company and the engineering platoon led by Yang Xiaoshan had already withdrawn from the battlefield, and cooperated with the supply company and more than 200 recruits to start cleaning the battlefield.

All the bloody battles before are all for the sweetness of this moment!

On the battlefield, in addition to the bloody corpses of the Japanese army, there were also rifles, machine guns, and grenade grenades. Of course, Tang Dao, the supreme commander, couldn't help but smile and seized artillery.

The rapid-fire gun squadron of the Japanese army was completely annihilated under the fire of 150mm mortars. Two of the six 37mm rapid-fire guns were blown into parts, and the other four were also overturned by the air waves. Some repairs were needed. The cannons of the Mountain Artillery Squadron and the Infantry Artillery Squadron were intact due to the cavalry raid, and they still had a considerable reserve of shells.

This is equivalent to that at a distance of 6000 meters, the four-row regiment has the firepower of eight 8-caliber howitzers, and at a range of 75 meters, the four-row regiment has the strength covered by more than 3000 artillery pieces, large and small. 20 meters, there are no less than 2000 artillery pieces in total. Although the total range is not as good as that of an artillery regiment of the Japanese army, the firepower is not inferior to them at all.

In other words, if the Japanese want to see the bayonet again, Tang Dao has the confidence to make them popular before they see the bayonet's edge.

The work of cleaning up the other two battlefields on the battlefield was handed over to Zhuang Shifan. Tang Dao, Gong Shaoxun and the three major infantry battalion commanders together witnessed the final destruction of the 2nd Infantry Regiment.

This time, the infantry did not become the main force.

The main reason is that the excellent civil engineering work of the Imperial Japanese Army that Tanaka Takumi expected was not as he imagined. Not only were the remaining personnel under his command not very good at digging with engineering shovels, but it was also the result of continuous harassment by the Chinese.

During the continuous formation of the encirclement circle, the infantrymen were naturally not idle. Whether they were grenadiers or precision shooters, they were constantly attacking the Japanese positions.

I can't even straighten my back at work, so the work efficiency is obvious. After finally waiting for someone to hide in the trenches, the artillery of the Four Elements Regiment is already in place.

那是集合了4门150迫击炮和18门82迫击炮以及8门步兵炮的炮兵部队，听到缴获4门完好步兵炮消息的庞大海都没向唐刀请示，直接一句军情紧急就把工兵们正在拉拽的4门步兵炮给接收了。

With Tang Dao's order, all the artillery fired on the unfinished positions of the Japanese army. The 10-minute firepower coverage originally requested by Pang Dao was changed to 20 minutes by Tang Dao.

More than a thousand infantrymen witnessed a feast of firepower with their own eyes. Even if they hid 500 meters away, they could still feel the oncoming heat wave and the tremor of the ground. It is conceivable how the Japanese army in the center of the firepower coverage felt.

Takumi Tanaka died in the first 5 minutes covered by the artillery fire. A 21kg artillery shell fell five meters away from him. Even though he had curled up into the trench, the huge kinetic energy still destroyed him. Buried in the soil with several wing staff officers.

The lieutenant officer of the Japanese army who was buried alive would definitely regret his decision to stand by and wait for help at the last moment of his life. Not only did he become a dead bastard who was buried in the soil, but he also lost one of the hundreds of remnants and defeated soldiers. It's all in one pot.

Without the protection of perfect fortifications, almost no one could survive under such intense artillery fire.

When the three infantry companies approached the battlefield where shelling had ceased from three directions, the sporadic gunfire on the battlefield was like a man with a prostate problem urinating, with no answer.

But obviously, these resistances are futile. The infantry of the four-element regiment led by the three-three system simply and rudely suppressed them with firepower first, and then the soldiers who followed up threw grenades frantically. The remaining limited number of Japanese soldiers were killed one after another. .

Until, there is no sound on the battlefield!

On the battlefield, the remaining limbs of the Japanese army can be seen everywhere, like Shura hell, the strong smell of blood made the infantrymen of the Four Elements Regiment who had just experienced a bloody battle a little unbearable, and took out towels to cover their mouths and noses!

"Bastard! The battlefield hasn't been cleaned yet, who can be sure that there will be no Japanese alive? You can't even stand the smell, what kind of soldier should you be?" Lei Xiong, who followed Tang Dao to the battlefield, glanced at his soldiers They, especially when they saw that Li Jiujin even put on a gas mask, his face was extremely ugly.

"This battle is a big victory. I order that all the Japanese troops seized in this battle, except weapons and equipment, [-]% will go to the individual, [-]% to the company, [-]% to the battalion, and [-]% to the regiment!" Tang Dao But with a slight smile, he ordered loudly.

"Long live the regiment!" The surrounding soldiers cheered.

This is good, without Lei Xiong's reprimand, the soldiers don't care about the stinking, and search for usable things on the wreckage of the Japanese army.

Most of the military uniforms were dilapidated, and the soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment, who already had new uniforms, didn't like it. The only thing that was useful was the cowhide boots equipped by the Japanese infantry. They were strong and warm, but they were too heavy. Not suitable for trekking, but you have to pull it off, right?
Of course, what attracted the soldiers of the Four Elements Regiment even more was the wealth carried by the Japanese army. After being snatched back again, it does not correspond to the old Chinese saying: the law of heaven has reincarnation!

"This group of bastards, once they heard that there was money to be made, their stinking corpses became fragrant." Lei Xiong watched the soldiers rummaging around for the wreckage of the Japanese army like a pack of wolves, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Haha! Brother Lei, don't be too harsh sometimes. After a big battle, it's not a good thing for the brothers to be too tense. It's not bad to use search and capture to divert their attention!" Tang Dao Laughed.

"This time we killed the 2nd Infantry Regiment. I don't know what that old devil Dohiyuan should look like! Let's see if he dares to send another Infantry Regiment to chase us."

"Haha, Tuan Zuo, if the old devil Tu Feiyuan still dares to send only one infantry regiment, then it's okay for my Four Elements Regiment to fight him again, I'm afraid he won't have the guts." Gong Shaoxun couldn't help it either. Laugh out loud.

Gong Shaoxun is considered a cautious soldier, and he has always held objections to Tang Dao's leadership in the early stage of this battle, but this does not mean that he is timid. In the battle where the cavalry attacked two Japanese artillery squadrons, even if Tang Dao didn't hold the battle in person, he would definitely As soon as the military order was issued, the entire cavalry company rushed forward, regardless of how many infantry the Japanese still had on the opposite side.

Fortunately, Tang Dao used the mobilization of troops and at the same time hid most of the mortars to paralyze Maso Ishiguro, causing the Japanese artillery to lose the infantry wing guards. The cavalry company wiped out two cavalry at the cost of only twelve cavalry. Japanese Artillery Squadron.

Compared with the results of the battle, that kind of loss is almost negligible.

At this moment, standing on the last battlefield covered with the corpses of the Japanese army, the cautious deputy head of the lieutenant colonel also became a little wild, and there was an urge to fight the Japanese army again.

This is what victory brings.

This is self-confidence.

Soldiers need the most psychological state on the battlefield.

More than ten years later, on that ice field, the equipment of the Chinese soldiers was at least an era behind that of the so-called United Nations troops, but the courage to sacrifice and the self-confidence gradually cultivated after fighting the Great Patriotic War for 8 years made up for the lack of equipment.

"Hehe! I don't know what Doiyuan's face looks like now, but I know that he will not send another infantry regiment to deliver food to us. The whole army is ordered, and I only give the whole army one hour to clean the battlefield , An hour later, the whole army immediately retreated to the south bank of the Bihe River, and before dark, all our regiments must arrive at the positions near the Yellow River Iron Bridge." Tang Dao looked into the distance, with a wider smile on his face.

"Tuan Zuo, what do you mean?" Lei Xiong was slightly taken aback. "Shouldn't we block the main force of the 14th Division on the south bank of the Bihe River for a few more days to buy more time for the brothers of the First Army?"

"No need, the 2nd Infantry Regiment was killed in this battle. That old devil Dofa Yuan has a background in intelligence, and he needs military skills to help him get promoted. Before he understands the situation, he will never set foot on the battlefield again. It will scare him for at least two days, and when he gathers the main force of his 14th division to come here, we will blow up the bridge and tell him that there is a lot of trouble!" Tang Dao shook his head.

This is Tang Dao's judgment based on Dohi-en's personal habits and styles. Of course, this is not a blind judgment, but based on the several battles that Dohi-en personally led.

An intelligence leader who has been engaged in intelligence work for decades, is suspicious by nature and considers every battle extremely thoroughly. , How many people can be called wise and brave?

In Tang Dao's mind, there are so many famous generals in the world, and there are no more than a handful of people with such qualifications. Of course, this does not include Tu Feiyuan, a second-rate army general.

In fact, even his so-called wisdom is only because he is cunning enough. He may have small cleverness, but he has no great wisdom at all. Dead unlucky one.

. . . . . . . . .

In Xinxiang City, the 14th Division Division Headquarters!
"The 2nd Infantry Regiment from Masao Ishiguro to Masao Ishiguro, all pieces of jade! This is impossible, this is impossible, the main force of the Chinese has already fled in all directions, which unit do they have that has this strength?" The fat and fat man with a pale face was sitting slumped on a Chinese-style grand master's chair as if stunned, muttering to himself.

The regiment headquarters of the 2nd Infantry Regiment had sent several telegrams to the division headquarters before this, all of which were requests for reinforcements. It was not until 10 minutes ago that a major staff officer sent a farewell message to the division headquarters.

The reason why the signer is a mere army major is because he is already the highest rank remaining in the 2nd Infantry Regiment.

Before he sent the farewell message, all the members of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, from the Regiment Captain to the Infantry Battalion Captain, had died!

In the room temporarily used as the meeting room of the 14th Division headquarters in the living room of a wealthy Chinese household, there were two Japanese military officers besides Dohimoto, who was slumped on a chair, but neither of them dared to speak.

They have followed Dohi Madoka, the new head of the division, not long ago, but they are very aware of the shadyness of the division head, his lord. is the most difficult.

Perhaps this is also one of the characteristics that this division chief with an intelligence background will soon master the power of the 14th division!
"Sano-kun, tell me, is there any Chinese army with such strength in this war zone?" Doi, who came back to his senses, gave his chief of staff a round look.

"The 2nd Infantry Regiment's previous telegram indicated that they had found traces of the Sixing Regiment, but the Sixing Regiment was only an infantry regiment after all. With their strength, it was extremely difficult to cause such heavy damage to my infantry regiment. According to intelligence, the Sixing Regiment The regiment had contact with the enemy's First Army a week ago, and I thought that." Chief of Staff of the 14th Division Akishi Sano quickly replied.

"The First Army? They have already been defeated by our division, and they are fleeing in several directions now. They don't have the strength." Tu Feiyuan shook his head. "Information says that an infantry division of the New Eighth Division of the First Theater Zone in Zhengzhou left Zhengzhou the night before. Do you know where they are going?"

"Information shows that the division is stationed along the south bank of the Yellow River!" Akishi Sano replied hastily.

"Is there any specific information such as the garrison area and the deployment of troops?"

"No, your Excellency the Division Commander, you also know that the assassination on the New Year's Day caused heavy losses to our army's intelligence personnel."

"Bastard, how can you be sure that the division must be stationed on the south bank of the Yellow River, and they won't appear around the Bihe River?" Tu Feiyuan was furious, with extremely gloomy eyes. "That's right, the Chinese used the Sixing regiment as a bait to lure my 2nd infantry regiment into the bait, and then surrounded the 2nd infantry regiment with an infantry division and infantry regiment, and finally caused this tragedy!
The defeat in this battle was entirely the result of Ishiguro Masoaki's greed and recklessness!This person, because of his own selfishness, damaged the 3000 warriors of the empire, he really deserves to die! "

The two junior officers of the Japanese army looked at each other and each took a deep breath. They, the commander of the division, were really good at throwing blame at the dead man.

"Pass my military order to order the 59th Regiment to stop marching immediately, find a suitable area to garrison on the spot, and wait for the main force of our division to gather and judge the enemy's situation before marching towards the enemy's Zhengzhou!" Tu Feiyuan stood up and ordered with a gloomy expression. "Notify the 27th Brigade, the 28th Brigade Major General Benxia, ​​and Major General Sakai to come to the division headquarters to discuss the strategy of attacking Zhengzhou!"

"Hi!" The two Japanese officers nodded heavily.

Watching the two subordinates leave, Dohido, who had already stood up, sat back down on the chair again.

There was a fierce light in his eyes, but more pain.

He has already received a secret letter from the base camp, and when he achieves great success in defeating the enemy this time, he will be transferred back to China to use his knowledge of China to prepare the "Special Committee on China", which will be responsible for the establishment of the regime and intelligence agencies in the occupied areas. He was not promoted, but his status was not comparable to that of a division commander.

But before the good things came, reality dealt him a heavy blow. Although the loss of an infantry regiment was not enough for him, the division commander, to pack up and leave, the stain was already doomed.

If he wants to restore his reputation in front of those big shots, he must capture Zhengzhou, which means that he must be cautious in the future, and he must not make any mistakes.

For the sake of his own future, that annoying group of Four Elements can only be temporarily let go, and Ishiguro Masao, who is cited as his confidant, must also take the blame.

Although Tang Dao's understanding of this man is not 100%, but it is not too far away. A person with complicated thoughts and extremely greedy is destined not to become a famous general.

It was not until two days after the Four Elements Regiment had all withdrawn from the battlefield that an infantry unit approached the battlefield timidly, and saw the wreckage of the Japanese army neatly arranged on the ground.

This time, the Four Elements Regiment did not pluck out all the uniforms. Except for the woolen military coats of junior officers, it is worth picking up. Those blood-stained yellow military uniforms are still in good condition. Put on the corpse, that is to say, all the shoes are stripped off, leaving a pair of feet that have been frozen blue and white exposed to the cold winter wind.

As for all kinds of equipment, except for the bombed ones, which are really useless, there is not even a single gun barrel or butt wood left.

To put it bluntly, what was left to the Japanese was a pile of corpses, as many as 3000.

It's not that hundreds of people ran away, but some people were blown into pieces by 150 mortar shells, so what's the point?

In an infantry regiment, no more than 50 people could escape in the end, 40 of whom were wounded soldiers and medical soldiers, and were ordered to stop 30 kilometers away to wait for the end of the battle.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for two days, no one came to inform them. It was the main force of the 14th Division that regrouped and marched later that passed by to tell them the bad news.

It is said that the major general of the 2th Infantry Brigade burst into tears when he saw the only 40 people left in the 27nd Infantry Regiment.

Rebuilding the 2nd Infantry Regiment with this little force, can't it be rebuilt until the end of the whole war?

The captain of the 59th Infantry Regiment also wanted to cry. He was the only infantry regiment under the commander of the brigade. Is it necessary for him to exist as the infantry regiment captain?
