Rise From Eight Hundred

In the end, the Ironhead Captain, who was crawling in the mud and listening to the Japanese troops marching away, did not issue any orders.

A fire support company that had already set up machine guns and loaded heavy machine gun ammunition belts just watched helplessly as a fully armed Japanese army passed by them.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people felt that Cheng Tieshou had failed his nickname of “Ironhead” that was always on the lips of Deputy Camp Lei.

It seems that when the nickname of Ironhead is mentioned, the first-class sergeant squad leaders who have been with him the longest have a lot of stories about the Ironhead Captain.

It is said that he once dared to brave the saturation bombardment of the Japanese mountain artillery, and personally held a heavy machine gun to suppress and fire at the Japanese troops crawling 500 meters ahead. After the war, there were at least five traces of shrapnel hitting the steel helmet on his head. That head was iron, and it was unbearable.

He once sat on the machine gun seat and fired at the Japanese planes that were diving down. The bullets of the Japanese machine guns had already swept the steel shield in front of the machine gun, sparking everywhere. If he was not so lucky, a ricochet bullet could send him away from the shooting position, but he not only survived miraculously, but also shot down the enemy plane.

But such an army captain with enough legendary stories, when faced with the possibility of attacking his comrades, he was actually scared, lying in the mud, "listening" to them going away until there was no sound, without saying a word.

It's not that the iron-headed company commander is not iron-headed enough, nor is it that the iron-headed company commander dares not sacrifice, but that when he was making a difficult choice, the Japanese helped him make the decision.

Because he was surprised to find that the Japanese army was not advancing at high speed to the location where the battle broke out as he imagined.

The direction where the Japanese army was advancing at high speed was actually their own station.

What was the Japanese doing?

The thinking of the iron-headed company commander at that moment was absolutely confused.

Although the wilderness where he was now was still dark, there were many sounds. In addition to the heavy footsteps of the Japanese army gradually receding, there were more dull explosions of shells from the direction of the main position several kilometers away.

The red light flashing from time to time in the sky proved that the artillery groups of both China and Japan in the direction of the main position were unwilling to be lonely and were firing at each other. If nothing unexpected happened, this was similar to what was expected before the war. The main infantry of both sides restrained each other and dared not to move at will.

On the flank battlefield, only the independent battalion would be active.

In the closer place, in addition to unclear sounds, the continuous "booming" muffled sound should be the sound of continuous explosions of 82-caliber mortar shells, which means that the three infantry companies in front have already met the enemy.

But what did this group of Japanese troops want to do instead of cooperating with their friendly forces to fight each other and marching towards the station? This is unreasonable.

While trying to sort out a logical line from his extremely chaotic thoughts, the company commander Tietou desperately thought about what he should do.

In the end, he calmly made a decision not to attack the Japanese invaders for the time being, and the whole company returned.

Because, he judged that the target of this Japanese army was actually the flank position.

Yes, although this possibility is a bit absurd, combined with the fact that three infantrymen were connected to the enemy and the direction in which this Japanese army was stubbornly moving forward, Cheng Tieshou made his own judgment that they wanted to sneak attack the Japanese artillery regiment, but the Japanese were thinking about digging up the roots of the independent battalion, and then the two groups of soldiers with bad intentions met unexpectedly in this central area.

As for why this group of Japanese who were not touched and ran fast were still so stubbornly moving towards the target direction when the friendly forces had already engaged the enemy, Cheng Tieshou couldn't think of the reason even if he broke his iron head.

But this is not important. The important thing is that there is an artillery company and a mortar battalion in the direction of the Japanese army's advance. Fortunately, there is a guard platoon of soldiers guarding them. Otherwise, if this group of Japanese troops quietly arrived at night, the artillery troops would have a close fight with them, and the losses would be great.

Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, and Leng Feng were the most outstanding soldiers Cheng Tieshou had ever seen. The three infantry companies were all lightly equipped. Even if they could not defeat the Japanese, they could run away without any problems. Therefore, Captain Tietou finally made up his mind to return to the army to catch up with the Japanese, join the artillery company and the mortar battalion, and kill this wave of bold devils.

No, perhaps the baggage company left in the garrison should also be included.

Five minutes after the Japanese army left, Cheng Tieshou called the only guard squad under his command, and simply drew a few places on the map to indicate the location where his fire support company would arrive. Then he ordered them to split into two groups, leaving all their weapons and equipment behind, and only carrying the Nambu 14-type pistols issued to the shooters. The two wings of the Japanese army that were maneuvering passed through to notify Pang Dahai two kilometers behind and Chief of Staff Zhuang who was farther away, to gather all the remaining troops of the independent battalion and encircle the Japanese army in the wilderness, so that no one could escape.

The results after the war proved that the iron-headed company commander's decision not to be iron-headed this time was indeed the most rational and brilliant decision in this encounter, without a doubt.

Even the battalion commander Tang was forced to conduct a self-examination at the summary meeting after the war because of the joint proposal of Li Jiujin and Yang Xiaoshan.

Although the battalion commander Tang rushed into the enemy group like a cheetah and killed several Japanese invaders in a row, which greatly boosted the morale of his own side and destroyed the fierce flames of the Japanese invaders in one fell swoop, and drove them into the wilderness to be shot and killed by machine guns, thus reducing his own casualties, as the highest military commander of the independent battalion, he always led the way like this, which was a torture for a company commander-level commander like Li Jiujin.

What if there is an accident? On the battlefield, there is no such thing as invulnerability. No matter how powerful Tang Dao is, as long as he is unlucky, a small stray bullet can kill him.

Gu/span\u003eThe highest military officer was killed in front of the soldiers. The blow to morale was undoubtedly huge. It is very likely that the entire army was defeated even if the original victory was lost. Even if Tang Dao died, he would still have to fight. Take this responsibility.

This is still the simplest truth. The higher the position, the greater the responsibility.

In the past, the battlefields were either surrounded or chased by the Japanese. A strong man like Tang Dao was needed to move forward bravely and boost the morale of the entire army to fight a way out. But today is different from the past. More and more people are following him. Perhaps from Tang Dao The moment he became the backbone of more than a thousand people, it was already destined that he would never be able to make decisions based solely on his own wishes as he once did.

Li Jiujin and Yang Xiaoshan plucked up the courage to point out the mistakes of Battalion Commander Tang Da, and the participants unanimously agreed. Battalion Commander Tang, the highest officer, was attacked by his subordinates for the first time, so he could only hold his nose and make a self-examination. He also promised that, without special circumstances, he, the supreme commander, would never appear in a hand-to-hand combat scene.

Although Battalion Commander Tang also played a word game and only said that he would not appear at the scene of hand-to-hand combat, but did not guarantee that he would not appear on the front line, but compared to him who always picks up the knife and does it himself, that is already a big improvement. The officers are already considered Very satisfied.

All officers know that their fate is already involved with Tang Dao. Even if they die, as long as Tang Dao is still alive, their families will be properly accommodated, but if Tang Dao dies, there will be nothing. .

Captain Tietou made a wise decision, but it was after giving up Tietou.

But as his trophy, Captain Yunan Mimoto is completely tough.

As the only infantry squadron selected as the vanguard of the 47th Infantry Regiment, Yuuo Sanmoto has been holding his breath.

In other words, with the former 23rd Infantry Regiment Colonel Captain acting as brigade commander, everyone in the 47th Infantry Regiment feels abandoned. Replenishing heavy supplies and moving troops into the front-line units, the 47th Infantry Regiment, which suffered the heaviest losses, had two to three hundred fewer soldiers than the 23rd Infantry Regiment. To replenish supplies, the 47th Infantry Regiment did not see even a candy figure, although the 23rd Infantry Regiment heard that It's hard to say, but once the seeds of jealousy are planted, it will be original sin as long as I don't have it.

Moreover, the top commander of the vanguard was also from the 23rd Infantry Regiment, and Yuuo Mimoto was even more unhappy.

Therefore, from the moment before departure, Mimoto Youo turned off the specially distributed field radio and remained silent, waiting until he reached the Chinese defense line before turning it on again.

Shinji Morita, what a ball! That's a second-rate guy.

With a sense of resentment, Mimoto Yuuo almost didn't let his soldiers repair, and ran five or six kilometers in one breath, far ahead of the other two stupid infantry squadrons. He must let the idiots of the 23rd Infantry Regiment see. Look, who is the most elite infantryman of the Sixth Division.

Sanbon Yuuo, who was so hard-headed that he was almost losing his mind, didn't even pay attention to the sound of gunfire coming from the distance. He strictly followed the battle plan formulated before the war and moved towards the goal.

His idea is that there is no main Chinese force here. Even if you encounter a small group of Chinese who are second-rate, it will not be a big problem to deal with the Chinese. What's more, there are three infantry brigades behind!

If the sneak attack fails, then attack by force.

Anyway, he wants to be the sharpest knife.

This may be the most stubborn infantry squadron leader in the history of the Sino-Japanese War.

More than 200 Japanese troops, under his leadership, plunged into the encirclement of the unreliable independent battalion.

The artillery company and heavy mortar battalion that unexpectedly received the news raised their muzzles high, and the reconnaissance platoon entered the simple trench to prepare. The baggage company sent two baggage platoons and rushed to the battlefield with all their strength.

More than 900 troops gradually formed a large encirclement.

Of course, what's more terrible is not the military strength that far exceeds that of the Japanese army.

Rather, it will be a battlefield that gathers all the heavy firepower of the independent battalion, plus 10 150-meter mortars.

Not to mention a reinforced squadron with around 200 people, even an infantry brigade would probably be beaten to pieces...
