Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 185 Worry

This time, the Japanese troops at the No. 8 checkpoint really cannot be blamed.

It's not that they didn't work hard, but that the Chinese were too brutal.

The Japanese troops, who were waiting in formation, were not waiting for the machine guns of the "Iron Head".

"Boom boom boom!" Several fireballs exploded directly on the Japanese positions, directly blowing the Japanese infantry to tears.

What's going on? The Chinese actually still have howitzers? Damn, that's it, you said this is the remnant of the Chinese army in the Sihang Warehouse, who are you kidding?

It used to be considered normal to take an infantry squad and fight a Chinese infantry company, but now, you must not hit the stone with an egg!

After only five shells, the Japanese squad was scared. In the light of the flares, the Japanese fled madly into the fields. The speed made Lei Xiong, who claimed to be a sprinter, look up to them.

"Damn it, the Japanese are strong in field combat! They run so fast." Leng Feng couldn't help licking his lips.

"Don't sigh, everyone, get in the car and keep on running!" Lei Xiong took the monocular telescope he got from Li Jiujin and carefully examined the Japanese position a hundred meters away, saying. "In another three kilometers, we will basically reach the front line."

"Sir, look behind you." Erya suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed.

In the dark night in the distance, a row of bright lights lined up like the stars in the sky.

"Pursuers?" Lei Xiong sneered. "It seems that there are still many! It seems that this old enemy has a deep grudge against us!"

"Otherwise, let's not rush to leave, but give them a few hard blows here?" Leng Feng came over and suggested.

Leng Feng was not blinded by hatred, nor was he arrogant after winning consecutive battles, but there were two more powerful weapons in the queue. If they were accurate, they would be enough to cause unbearable pain to the crazy chasing convoy.

A truck can hold at least 30 soldiers, and only one shot can destroy most of the infantry squad. How cool!

Yes, the two mountain cannons that the soldiers were hanging on the back of the truck just defeated the Japanese troops at the front post.

That was a pleasant surprise when they conquered the last Japanese post and cleaned up the battlefield.

Su Huikai, who was in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, was also confused when she saw two well-preserved Type 41 mountain cannons with several boxes of shells.

Why didn't the Japanese army use these two powerful weapons and give them to us? The legendary love and hate?

Of course, the Japanese army was not that stupid, and the real reason was still Toyota Hide.

This acting commander, who had already lost his mind, blamed all the faults on the artillery. Anyway, it was a post duty, so he simply incorporated the originally precious technical arms into the infantry sequence.

However, the artillery squad leader who came to the No. 7 post to be on duty followed the fine tradition of the Japanese Army and never left his equipment. He simply transported both infantry guns to the rear of the post.

Toyota Hide did not stop him. Although the sentry post for warning was more formal than practical, if two guns could be set up here, wouldn’t it also prove from the side that he attached importance to this task?

In fact, he almost succeeded. If there were Japanese artillery at the post at night, Tang Dao and others would be in big trouble.

Although the distance was short, the Type 41 mountain gun could still be fired horizontally when it was laid flat. With just one shot, Tietou and his machine gun would be turned into fragments all over the sky.

Unfortunately, the daytime was the duty time for the artillerymen, and thinking that the road conditions were bad at night and it would be troublesome to transport the guns, the artillerymen who had been on duty for two consecutive days slacked off and even abandoned the fine tradition.

So, the two infantry guns became the spoils of war for Tang Dao and others.

The Type 41 mountain gun with two wheels is not like the infantry gun, which has to be disassembled into several large pieces and transported by pack horses. When marching for a short distance, it can be hung behind draft horses and various vehicles, or even pushed by infantry. Only when marching for a long distance will it be disassembled into several pieces and transported by pack horses or trucks.

Although the backbones of the machine gun company were equipped with mortars at most, they had also tested this 75-caliber mountain gun in the division artillery regiment. Although they were not proficient, they had no problem using it.

Tang Dao and Lei Xiong decided to drag it first, regardless of whether it could be used or not.

In this way, the Japanese soldiers at the No. 8 checkpoint became the first victim of their own mountain guns.

To be honest, the artillerymen who put the mountain guns flat almost as machine guns had a terrible hit rate. With five shells, it was not known whether they killed a Japanese soldier, but they could not withstand the terrifying power! They directly scared away dozens of Japanese soldiers, so that the infantrymen did not fire a single shot.

However, the hit rate of using mountain artillery to bombard the Japanese positions 200 meters away was so high. Now the Japanese convoy chasing them was at least 2 kilometers away, and it was at night. Leng Feng still wanted to give them a few surprise shots, which was really too much.

Not to mention Tang Dao curled his lips, even the few bone-headed hands under Cheng Tieshou twitched their eyes: Boss Leng, please don't make us look bad, okay?

Leng Feng was not stupid. Seeing that the artillerymen who were so arrogant just now were pushing infantry artillery to the back of the truck and pretending to be deaf and dumb, he could only give up in disappointment.

"There must be Japanese positions ahead of us. If we drive straight along the road like this, the losses will be huge." Lei Xiong, who was always known for his bravery, looked at the bright lights flashing in the distance, but his face was rarely worried.

Since the Japanese army was chasing us so closely, it was probably because there was a blockade ahead, and it was not just a small checkpoint.

Lei Xiong may seem rough, but he is actually quite meticulous. He sensed something when Toyota Hide rushed over with a convoy that he couldn't wait to organize.

That's right, although the commander of the 9th Division, Yoshizumi Yoshisuke, asked the operations staff to call Toyota Hide back and let the remnants of the 36th Infantry Regiment be responsible for pursuing the remnants of the Chinese army, he put his focus on the defense line of the two Chinese armies and six infantry divisions opposite the 9th Division.

But the 9th Division, one of the "two walls of the empire", is an excellent fighting machine. The chief officer's lack of attention does not mean that the division staff will ignore Tang Dao and his little grasshopper.

Upon learning that a small Chinese force appeared on the side of his position and was rushing towards the battleground between the two armies in an attempt to break through the siege, the 9th Division Chief of Staff Colonel Nakagawa Hiroshi was furious.

Although Yoshizumi Ryosuke's intention was very clear, and the task of pursuing the remnants of the Chinese was given to Toyota Hide, he still ordered the infantry regiment on the front line to extract an infantry squadron to deploy a defense line along the two wings of the Huxi Highway where the Chinese were marching, and to block the Chinese's way back.

He even transferred two Type 94 armored vehicles from the tank battalion directly under the division and ordered them to cooperate with Toyota Hide in order to annihilate the Chinese as soon as possible.

This is not because Nakagawa Hiro has much resentment towards Tang Dao and others, but purely because "people are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of being fat". The Chinese Songhu War Zone Command thought that Tang Dao and others had died for their country, and in order to inspire the morale of the entire army, it issued a clear order to telegraph, and the name of the "Four-Line Camp" became known to the world.

A high-level general like Yoshizumi Ryosuke would not take the "Four-Line Camp" seriously, but it does not mean that Nakagawa Hiro, who is trying hard to climb up, would not.

In the eyes of this Japanese Army Colonel, being able to completely annihilate the troops named by the Chinese will definitely help his future promotion.

To put it bluntly, he was unwilling to give all the credit to the unlucky kids of the 36th Infantry Regiment who were destined to return home, and he had to share a piece of the pie.

If Tang Dao continued to run wildly along the Huxi Highway with his convoy, he would definitely run into the trap set by the Japanese army as Lei Xiong worried, and thus be attacked from both sides.

By then, let alone machine guns and mountain guns, even tanks might not be able to escape.

The faces of several officers around Tang Dao became solemn, and the joy of breaking through three checkpoints disappeared.

All eyes were on Tang Dao.

Last time, he led everyone to escape from the Sihang Warehouse in an incredible way. So this time, can he still lead everyone to fight a bloody way out of the Japanese encirclement?
