Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 542 The biggest gain

After a flurry of punches, the three infantry companies of the independent battalion, led by Tang Dao, beat the Japanese army to a pulp and ran away carrying the bodies of the wounded and the dead soldiers.

On the way, they met the fire support company that had completely beaten the Japanese army, and killed a few escaped fish by the way, and then all returned to the station where the fortifications had been built.

However, there was no time to rest, and the three infantry companies re-entered the trenches, and the main force of the Japanese army was still chasing behind them.

The artillery company and the borrowed mortar battalion all shrank to an area of ​​about 500 meters behind the position. Once the main force of the Japanese army attacked, they would be the main force to let the Japanese army see why the pattern was so popular.

However, even Tang Dao did not expect that the Japanese army would be so cowardly that they searched for a while on the battlefield where the two sides encountered each other, and then never moved forward again.

The infantry artillery soldiers of the independent battalion were waiting for battle, but they didn't see anyone until dawn. Gu Xishui, who was still in the wilderness a few kilometers away, watched the Japanese soldiers carrying the remains of the Japanese infantry soldiers they had found and ran away with a telescope.

As for the Japanese troops that were closest to the independent battalion's position and were completely wiped out, the Japanese seemed to have forgotten them.

The truth is that even the Japanese didn't know that the Sanben Squadron would be so stupid. They were fighting so hard, but they still wanted to crash into the Chinese position. Isn't that stupid?

They are the ones who deserved to die.

However, even if they knew, the 600 Japanese soldiers probably didn't have the courage to move forward. It was hard enough for 600 to carry more than 300 bodies. If they added their own bodies, would the acting brigade commander send another 2,000 people to carry them?

There is nothing wrong with this logic.

After hearing the special operations team report that the Japanese reinforcements were only 600 people, Tang Dao regretted slapping his thigh in the trench: "Damn, if I had known that the Japanese would only send 600 people, I would have sent all my troops to keep them, maybe I could play a siege and attack the reinforcements!"

"What is siege and attack the reinforcements?" Zhuang Shisan, the chief of staff who was originally responsible for the "staff" tactics, was obviously a super layman, and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Surround these 600 people and beat them up. The Japanese will have to send more people to rescue them? Then on their way out, we will ambush two infantry regiments to attack them, or at least use artillery to bomb them." Lei Xiong on the side interrupted.

The two military commanders of the independent battalion were so relaxed that they didn't take the Japanese army seriously at all, but they made Guo Shouzhi sweat on his forehead and began to reflect on whether it was a mistake to follow these two.

There are still two infantry regiments. When the Japanese planes and artillery come during the day, the thousands of people in the independent battalion are not enough for these two people.

Guo Shouzhi's habitual thinking is that in night battles, the Japanese army without the support of planes and artillery is not as terrible as imagined, but once the Japanese heavy firearms come in handy, it will be too difficult for the Chinese army. From North China to Southeast China, the war is fought like this.

And all the battles that Zhuang Shisan participated in were almost followed by Tang Dao. He either shot at the Japanese army in the dark at night, or turned around and hit the Japanese army while running away. His thinking jumped out of the circle caused by this inertia. After listening to Lei Xiong's words, he nodded repeatedly: "This method is not bad! Learn it. If it didn't work this time, we can try it next time. There are still many opportunities."

Guo Shouzhi

The scar on his face twitched slightly, and he almost rolled his eyes to his colleagues who looked unreliable.

"Haha! Lao Zhuang, don't make it sound like the truth. Didn't you see that Lao Guo is about to roll his eyes at you? I was just bragging just now. Don't let us all die by playing siege and attacking the Japanese in such a plain area." Tang Dao looked at Guo Shouzhi's depressed face. He wanted to speak but was embarrassed to interrupt the bragging of several people, so he couldn't help laughing.

Lei Xiong and Zhuang Shisan both laughed. Guo Shouzhi realized that Tang Dao was just joking in a good mood, and he couldn't help laughing.

The leaders of the independent battalion had to laugh.

In this battle, they killed more than 500 Japanese soldiers, but their own losses were 40 wounded and 18 dead. Compared with the Japanese army, such losses were almost nothing.

Moreover, this was not a record of a defensive battle relying on strong fortifications, but a complete field battle. Both sides built temporary individual bunkers, and even all tactical plans were made according to the situation.

Undoubtedly, this was a nearly perfect battle, whether it was the commander or the lowest-level soldiers.

Eighty percent of the casualties were former Songjiang Security Corps soldiers who had just joined the independent battalion. They were actually much stronger than they were more than ten days ago.

Continuous battlefields reduced their number from nearly 3,000 to 500, with a survival rate of only 17%. It was like a piece of iron that was constantly forged in the battlefield, a furnace of life or death, removing impurities and becoming refined steel.

But this was still not enough.

This kind of field battle, almost face-to-face and nose-to-nose, was something they had almost never experienced. The temporary shelters dug by individual soldiers were not fast enough, the body area exposed when shooting was too large, and they did not have the courage to leave the place in the face of the bullets and grenades fired by the Japanese army. These factors were the most important reasons for their dozens of casualties.

Compared with them, the veterans were more than one level stronger. Whether in terms of the degree of resolutely executing the orders of the squad leader or the skills and tactics of individual combat, they performed well enough, and also made the newly joined officers and soldiers of the Security Corps completely convinced.

Originally, they thought that they were soldiers who had fought in several battles, and they were also "brought into the group with funds". Why were they either assistants or ordinary soldiers? What did those old soldiers have?

After this battle, they realized that they were just soldiers who survived a few battlefields, while those soldiers had walked through more than a dozen battlefields or even more. It was not all luck that allowed them to survive until now.

First of all, you must have enough strength to be qualified to talk about the word luck.

Yes, the biggest gain of the independent battalion in this battle was not to annihilate enough Japanese troops with the least loss, but to stab Ushijima Sadao in the heart.

That Japanese Army Lieutenant General could lose hundreds of heavy artillery, so what else could he not lose now? Besides, those were the unlucky soldiers of the Sixth Division, and they had nothing to do with him. As long as 3,000 people did not die, it was not a big deal.

The biggest gain of the independent battalion was that it was completely integrated into a whole. The officers and soldiers who originally came from three units, after experiencing this battle, quickly eliminated the original unfamiliarity after fighting side by side, and the former dissatisfaction was also eliminated by the excellence on the battlefield.

More importantly, in addition to Tang Dao, the famous supreme commander, who was still brilliant, the other company commanders who participated in the battle also had their own outstanding performances.

Cheng Tieshou, the commander of the fire support company, who only showed the "iron head" tough guy temperament in the confrontation with Japanese aircraft, used a battle that was no longer an iron head to prove his wisdom that was not obvious in his iron head.

Leng Feng's consistent coldness and toughness caused his infantry to suffer the most casualties among the three infantry companies, but he did not say that he would only drive his men to fight. In the most difficult battles, he always rushed to the front.

As the name suggests, he is a sharp blade with a chilling edge.

In front of the position of the first company he led, the Japanese army had tried their best to maintain the position, and four or five positions were taken down by the company, and as many as seventy Japanese soldiers were killed. If the Japanese reinforcements were not about to arrive, it would only take half an hour, even without launching a charge, the first company would definitely be able to completely defeat the Japanese army in front of them, and the total time would not exceed one and a half hours.

One hundred and sixty VS one hundred, neither side had artillery support, and being able to completely wipe out the Japanese army that was once able to fight one hundred to five hundred in one and a half hours was a brilliant record.

Qian Dazhu's third company did not show the fierce temperament of the first company, but under the command of Lei Xiong, more than fifty Japanese corpses were left in front of the third company's position, and the third company had the least casualties among the three infantry companies.

If Leng Feng is a knife, then Qian Dazhu is an iron chain.

The knife is a great weapon that can take revenge and chop the opponent to blood, while the iron chain is a must-have item that can firmly trap the opponent and eventually have nowhere to escape.

The two killed the enemy in different ways, but the results were the same.

Relatively speaking, the second company commander Li Jiujin, who had almost no performance, was mediocre. He had almost no performance, but this was normal.

Who made him stand next to the most handsome guy on the battlefield? So far, Lei Xiong is the only one who can shine next to Tang Dao.

The soldiers' recognition of their superiors' command ability should be one of the biggest gains of the independent battalion in this battle.

Of course, it cannot be said that the weapons and equipment seized on the battlefield are not important.

The Japanese army is a fat sheep.

Each individual soldier carries at least 100 rounds of bullets. The yellow-orange bullets in the bullet box that were not used up in time were collected by the soldiers and put in wooden boxes and carried back. Just looking at them makes people love it.

There are also melon-shaped grenades. Although the Japanese army used a lot of them, because the battle ended too quickly, at least half of them did not have time to be thrown out and became the spoils of the independent battalion, with a total of more than 1,200 pieces.

There were more than 320 rifles that were not damaged and could still be used, 4 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, 12 grenade launchers, and 70 to 80 grenade launcher-specific grenades.

These, not to mention the military commanders of the independent battalion were very happy to see, the two commanders who had already sent the signal soldiers to wait for the "harvest" on the independent battalion's position also smiled.

"The two commanders said that this time the whole army used 40 artillery pieces and nearly 15,000 personnel to cooperate with the independent battalion's night attack. The losses of each unit were huge and needed to be replenished with spoils of war." The two signal soldiers looked at the spoils of war placed in the trenches of the independent battalion and said it very "embarrassedly".

Is there still pure friendship in this world? What about the promised comradeship?

"Fuck!" Tang Dao replied to the two signal soldiers sent by the headquarters with a greeting from his hometown.

Since the two of them were so unethical, Tang Dao would not hesitate to overturn the "friendship boat".

That is, neither the signalman nor the two lieutenant generals understood, and no matter if they were pretending or not, the baggage company sent by the 67th Army to transport supplies ran very fast, faster than the Japanese.

Otherwise, the company commander who was once under the command of Battalion Commander Tang was afraid of seeing a certain colonel giving a middle finger.

That gesture seemed to have been used by Battalion Commander Tang to the Japanese in the distance, and it should be a little more unpleasant than "fuck"...
