Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 920 This is cause and effect!

Because there were a total of five tanks in the frontal position, the Japanese army, which was completely at a disadvantage in the field, miraculously became the dominant occupant!
The Japanese infantry is divided into two groups on a daily basis. The main force is at the back and the forward is at the front. The fastest runner has already reached the position 100 meters away from the front of the Chinese position. It only needs to advance 70 meters, which may be enough for them to throw the grenade into the trench. It will be the end of all Chinese soldiers on the battlefield!

The casualties caused by the explosion of more than 40 grenades in the trenches will never be smaller than the previous round of bombardment by more than 10 artillery pieces of the Japanese army.

In other words, the distance of 100 meters is the line of life and death. Many Japanese soldiers have already started to straighten up and prepare to charge with all their strength. If it weren't for the slope and the soft soil under their feet, 70 meters would be enough for these soldiers who are strong enough For him, it was just a tactical move that could be completed in ten seconds.

However, except for the machine gun bullets of the Japanese Type 94 light tanks on the Chinese position, no Chinese soldiers fired back on the nearly 500-meter-wide defense line.

'It's unreasonable! This is the inner monologue of Lieutenant Kifumi Nakajima, the frontline commander of the Japanese army who was attacking the Chinese position and the commander of the First Squadron of the First Infantry Battalion of the 105th Infantry Regiment.

Of course, this is not the first time Nakajima Muwen has fought against the Chinese army. He is no stranger to the 921 Division active in the Taihang Mountains. Even if there are tanks, the Chinese will not be so weak. So far, they have not fired a single shot.

Especially when the Chinese assembled a force several times larger than the imperial army, trying to encircle and eat them.

That's right, when Goto Koshinan sent a small group of infantry to march towards the commanding heights of the two wings but found that the Chinese soldiers had quietly occupied the commanding heights, the middle and senior officers of the Japanese army knew the Chinese army's intentions.

The Chinese not only want to stop them here, but even want to surround them heavily and eat them up.

The appetite is really big!
However, as the Chinese saying goes: It depends on whether they have such a good mouth!
Regardless of the 600 men under Komura Hiroshi who marched on the flanks in the mountains to protect them, the total strength of the imperial infantry here is only more than 1500, but they are not an ordinary infantry, but a joint force that combines artillery, cavalry, and armor!
There are artillery for long-distance attack, and tanks and infantry for close combat. What is the use of the Chinese even if they have more people?Rely on those old guns in the hands of infantry?
Moreover, the battlefield chosen by the Chinese may be conducive to their encirclement, but given the relatively flat geographical location here, so what if they are encircled?If you want to fight, you basically have to go below the high ground.

What's more, the army of the division and regiment is gathering, and reinforcements will come at any time. Maybe they will launch an anti-encirclement against the Chinese in this mountainous area and kill their main force in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the Japanese army was not very concerned about being surrounded, and even sent an infantry squadron to the rear for a symbolic defense!
The Japanese army has great confidence in conquering the high ground occupied by the Chinese in front of them, but the Japanese infantry including Captain Nakajima have maintained enough caution!
After all, my life is my own, and there is only one life. When no one wants to go home, it is put in that small wooden box.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no counterattacks on all Chinese positions.

For example, the battles on both sides of the frontal position were quite fierce. The Chinese not only exposed their light machine guns, but also had grenade launchers and even mortars to help out. Two consecutive light machine guns and machine gunners were blown up. The parts that are all over the sky are the masterpieces of that terrible little cannon.

The Japanese infantry on both sides of the battlefield were basically shooting at the Chinese on the ground more than 200 meters away.

Although there are Type 94 light tanks to help out, the firepower of the Japanese infantry has a slight advantage, but it is by no means as big a gap as they are with other Chinese troops on the Hebei Plain.

The Japanese army's tactical literacy is very strong, and their shooting skills are accurate, but the elites who have experienced the strategic transfer of thousands of miles are definitely not weak. Superiority in Japanese firepower.

Therefore, on the two wings, the two sides are evenly matched in attack and defense. It is difficult for the Japanese army to make progress, and the defenders who are holding back their energy to kill the Japanese devils did not shoot the Japanese invaders as expected. Didn't take much advantage.

But only on the frontal position where the line of defense is longer and absolutely more important, it is so strange that the Chinese do not show their faces and do not shoot, forming an extremely weird contrast with the fierce fighting on both sides.

When things go wrong, there must be monsters. The weird situation on the frontal position may not only be thought of by Captain Nakajima, but almost all Japanese soldiers have this idea in their minds.

As a result, the nerves in the minds of more than 500 Japanese soldiers on the frontal defense line of nearly 180 meters were tense. Once there was any trouble, it was necessary to crawl and dodge. The armored soldiers behind the steel armor have dealt with it.

Thinking of those Japanese infantrymen whose colleagues could hide in the invulnerable tanks comfortably and without any danger, dragged like a two-fifth to eighty-thousand, but he himself had to risk his life at any time It is inevitable that we will feel a little bit resentful in our hearts.

Naturally, letting those 'bastards' work harder on the battlefield became the psychological projection of these Japanese infantrymen.

"Hoo!" A sharp bamboo whistle sounded.

Hearing the sudden sound of a bamboo whistle from the Chinese position, the tense Japanese infantry naturally shrank their bladders in fright, thinking that the Chinese had some terrible plot.

Those with rich imagination even thought of the mortar shells flying in the sky, and when the tanks hundreds of meters away fired to suppress the Chinese positions, they used mortars to prove that they had this terrible little Cannon.

Mortars may not be effective in bombing tanks, but bombing people is a blast. If you want to say what the Japanese infantry hate the most about the weapons equipped by the Chinese army, if the long-handled grenades that are equipped in large numbers rank first, The 82 caliber mortar precipitously qualified for second place.

According to statistics after the war, during the entire War of Resistance Against Japan, tens of thousands of Japanese troops died from 82 mortars, and even the "Flower of a Famous General" died under this kind of artillery.

I can only hope that God Amaterasu will bless you. If you want to blow up, just blow up others.A group of Japanese soldiers who had prepared their minds but were still terrified wanted to hide their faces in the dirt in front of them.

Don't hide a little deeper, what if shell fragments fly over?

It is somewhat similar to the tradition in the Chinese army. Not everyone is eligible to be the first infantry squadron in the first infantry brigade. The first infantry squadron under Kifumi Nakajima is the famous sharp-edged infantry squadron in the 105th infantry regiment. Within a second or two, the tactical response of more than 180 people crawling collectively can also be glimpsed!
It's just that the soil on the hillside bombed by this shell is a bit soft!And, why is there still a little smell?A trace of doubt flashed in the mind of the Japanese soldier who slammed himself to the ground and buried his head without hesitation.

Obviously, this cognition is wrong.

The technical and tactical level of the Japanese artillery is very high, but the altitude of the Beiganling mountainous area is not high.

The vertical height of the hill across the only highway connecting Licheng and Lucheng never exceeds 400 meters, and the slope is relatively gentle. Because the ridge is narrow, building the position on the ridge provided the most accurate coordinates for the Japanese artillery, and there was not enough extension. It would cause heavy infantry casualties, so the 20 regiment, which arrived 769 minutes earlier than the Japanese army, built its position on the mountainside, and even the platoon-level positions were scattered alternately, not on the same level, which also ensured that the Japanese army broke through a hole. The entire line of defense collapsed!
To say that the Japanese artillery has a high level of technology and tactics means that the Japanese artillery fire is almost all concentrated around the position, and the error rarely exceeds 50 meters!Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Japanese army is equipped with a large number of 92 infantry guns. Except for the four 75-caliber mountain guns, the rest of the infantry guns are placed in an area less than 1200 meters away from the front line. At such a short range, it is still a direct-pointing gun. 92 If the error of the infantry artillery exceeds 50 meters, then the Japanese artillery can really go shit.

Those craters 60 meters away from the position were mostly left by 75 caliber mountain guns, which were howitzers. It is normal to have such an error, otherwise the Japanese infantry would have to follow the extended artillery fire!

If they can achieve 100 meters of infantry and artillery coordination, then this battle will almost be unnecessary, and it will be impossible to fight at all.

Therefore, 100 meters in front of the position, the reason why the land is soft is not caused by shells at all, but that piece of land is farmland, to be precise, cornfield.

There are many stone mountains in the Taihang Mountains, but the Beiganling area is an exception. Compared with the current residence of the Four Elements Group - Dakouzi Cave, the land is called "fertile"!
At that time, there was no concept of returning farmland to forests. The mountain people would cherish the green mountains and rivers, so naturally they cut down the trees and cultivated them into fields.

To put it bluntly, the area 60 meters to 120 meters below the frontal position, perhaps because of the best soil quality, is all farmland cultivated by Chinese mountain people for generations.

What crops are the most in the mountains? Besides corn, what else can there be?As long as this thing is given some rain, it can live, and if it is given enough rain and fertilizer, it can have a good harvest.

Moreover, the yield per mu is high, and the straw can be fed to cows and horses. It is simply the most suitable crop for the mountain people who are struggling in the barren mountains.

If the entire mountain was not developed into a corn field, it is estimated that there is not enough manpower. Otherwise, in summer, the cliff here will be full of corn cobs.

"Baga! Damn Chinese, what did you put here? What is this?" A Japanese second lieutenant pulled his face out of the "mud" with some difficulty.

Really pulled out.The soil in China is really too sticky.If you have to find an adjective, Lieutenant Matsuda, who grew up in the countryside since he was a child, has only one noun in his mind to describe it, fertile.

This is definitely a fertile land.Xiang can be knocked out of his face.At least, that's how it feels to Second Lieutenant Matsuda, who was born in a farming family.

As the commander of the death squad personally appointed by Lieutenant Nakajima, more than 40 people led by Second Lieutenant Matsuda rushed to the forefront of the entire infantry squadron, at least more than 50 meters away from the main force behind.

However, although it is a death squad, it does not mean that the death squad must die.Lieutenant Matsuda still wanted to return to the island alive and bring back the glory and money.

Second Lieutenant Matsuda, who didn't want to die, definitely belonged to the agile category. After hearing the sound of the bamboo whistle, he roared "Lie down and hide", and threw himself into the dust at the fastest speed.

But I didn't expect that the land in China is so fertile. I accidentally buried my head a little hard, and buried my head in the "soil".

What's more, the fat is a bit outrageous. For some reason, he was blocked by the Chinese "soil" and almost couldn't breathe. Second Lieutenant Matsuda wiped his nose several times in a row to restore his normal breathing, and he smelled it.
A smell of farmyard manure.

However, Second Lieutenant Matsuda didn't care about the imminent hail of bullets that could kill people. He just wanted to bury his head lower. What the land full of farmyard manure smelled was A good harvest is hope. Compared with the coming hail of bullets, it is not too beautiful.

It wasn't until 2 minutes later that Lieutenant Matsuda raised his head and asked the sergeant beside him angrily.

Because, there is a premonition that is getting stronger and stronger for Matsuda Sakane, a farm boy.

It really smells like that!

Baga's stinks too much.

The Japanese Sergeant Cao, who was only three meters away from him, was stunned.

He dared to say that he had never seen a person who could spread that stuff on his face so evenly.

There is yellow in the black, and some indescribable colors in the yellow, covering the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and face of the Japanese second lieutenant.

Moreover, there are several indescribable white bugs dancing crazily on it, twisting their plump and soft bodies.

How should I put that feeling?Sergeant Cao can assure you that even if he saw with his own eyes a few Chinese villagers who dared to break into a Chinese mountain village after drinking to have some fun, but were thrown out and stoned to death the faces of their colleagues who couldn't distinguish the facial features, they would not be in harmony with Jimmy. Second Lieutenant Matsuda outside looked at each other in such a way that it felt even more disgusting.

Unprecedented nausea, and even an urge to smash the officer to the ground with the butt of a gun.

Is this the legendary 'paint your face with dung'?
A gust of mountain wind blew, and an extremely smoky smell passed into the noses of all the Japanese soldiers who raised their heads.

Because of regional differences, different appearances, different languages, and different cultures, there are many differences in human beings among different ethnic groups, but they may be almost exactly the same.

excrement.

Exposed to the eyes of the Japanese army, Second Lieutenant Matsuda's face was neither yellow nor black, nor smelly, and everyone could almost assume that it was shit.

Yes, they finally recognized it.

That's right, shit.

So, under the stunned gaze of all the officers and soldiers of the Second Battalion and the First Company on the ground, dozens of Japanese devils who had been laying down very attentively jumped up like crazy, and desperately took off their military uniforms, some wiped their faces, some Wipe your hands.

There's no way, it's too disgusting, so disgusting that they would rather die.

The noble imperial army of the Japanese Empire can accept extremely cruel battlefields, and can face death fearlessly for His Majesty the Emperor.

But you can't climb on the Chinese fly with all your heart and soul, and bury your face in it, as if smelling the fragrance of mother earth.

Wait, what is that bug that squirms madly on its face like a lover's gentle touch?Isn't it maggots?

Several soldiers who hid themselves as tightly as Second Lieutenant Matsuda vomited like their commander at the moment.

Mentality, really collapsed!
This is much more disgusting than the 'shit' landmine that Komura Hiroshi encountered. After all, it didn't fall on his face. At least there is a place to wipe it, but now, should you wipe your face on the ground?

The mountain breeze sent it lightly, and accurately sent the foul smell to the main line of the Japanese army 50 meters behind. Captain Nakajima, who was also so smoked and fell to the ground, suddenly covered his mouth and nose: " Baga, the Chinese have used poisonous gas."

"What's that?" A soldier on the Chinese side asked his comrades in the same dumbfounded way.

"It seems to be farmyard manure." The veteran, who was over 30 years old, had a strange expression on his face.

Although he has been away from his hometown for many years and years of wars have made him seldom farm, but as a rural person who has helped his family with farm work since he was a child, he is very familiar with this taste.

That thing, if you don't turn it over, the smell will only spread for 20 meters, but after retting for a while and turning it out with a gust of wind, it's really amazing.

"The folks in this area are really hardworking!" The veteran exclaimed.

Yes, the 20 regiment, which arrived at the battlefield only 769 minutes earlier than the Japanese army, was able to build a simple bunker.

These masterpieces are all due to the industrious mountain people in the Taihang Mountains. Around April is the best time to plant spring corn. Although it is not yet the time, but with enough farmyard manure, we can have a good harvest this year.

Although there is a war, people have to eat when fighting a war!

Therefore, the Chinese mountain people who dreamed of eating hadn't seen the harvest yet, but they fed the dozens of infantrymen of the Japanese army who invaded their homes with a look of 'shit'!
Perhaps this is the cause and effect in the legend!
