Rise From Eight Hundred
Chapter 592 Just for a breath
This is a bloody day!
The Chinese cannot retreat, while the Japanese and their dogs are in a dilemma.
If one side retreats, they will all die, while if the other side retreats, all their previous efforts will go down the drain.
It's like two gamblers who put all their fortunes into the capital market. No matter how bad the market falls, they have to "cover their positions" with red eyes.
The commanders of both sides gritted their teeth and kept sending troops to this position that would never exceed one square kilometer in radius.
If one infantry company is not enough, another one will be sent; if the central position has no reserve troops, then troops will be drawn from the two wings.
If a position is lost, then organize people to take it back, and fight for every inch of land!
Human life has become the cheapest commodity on such a battlefield.
The Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army sent the most elite guard company around him to the battlefield at around 2 pm.
At 3 pm, two infantry companies drawn from the left wing position entered the battlefield.
At 4 pm, two infantry companies from the right wing position entered the battlefield.
At 5 pm, Tang Dao personally led the guard platoon and Li Jiujin's 2nd Company into the battlefield.
The fierce gunfire echoed throughout the mountains for a whole day until the sunset, the setting sun was blood-red.
The two warring parties finally stopped the "hot pot war" suggested by Tang Dao and upgraded by the Lieutenant General of the Sichuan Army.
In order to prevent the killing mad Chinese army from attacking at night, the Jing'an Army and the Japanese Army took the initiative to use the cover of night to withdraw from the positions they had occupied after spending a day and paying nearly 1,400 casualties.
By noon, Li Shoushan and two Japanese majors had actually understood the Chinese's mind, using the jagged positions to stick to the infantry they had already entered, not because they "loved" them much, but because they used these infantry as their shields to block possible threats from the sky and artillery groups.
Turned a battlefield where the heavy firepower was far inferior to the opponent into a pure battle of infantry skills, tactics and bravery.
The Chinese succeeded, and they miscalculated.
Apart from the early morning bombing and a round of artillery bombardment, throughout the day, except for the infantry guns that arrived at the front of the position 600 meters away and could fire a few rounds at the Chinese positions visible to the naked eye, the mountain guns and field guns became decorations.
The bomber formation sent by the navy wasted fuel and could only stare blankly after circling the mountains for a few rounds. They could only vent their anger by dropping tons of bombs on the left and right wing positions, but before they arrived, the Chinese on the positions might have already dodged early, and they were useless except for loosening the soil in the mountains.
This almost shameless tactic can not only disgust people, but also hurt people to the bone.
The left wing position was beaten so badly by the Chinese with several consecutive crotch kicks, but only lost a few hundred people. But here, almost an infantry regiment was almost wiped out in one day. :.
Of course, it was not all the loss of the Jing'an Army.
The infantry battalion sent by the Kunisaki Detachment to supervise the battle but volunteered to fight also contributed a considerable number of heads.
The major of the infantry battalion was actually a smart man. When he found something wrong in the afternoon, he stopped sending people to the battlefield. But that was after he sent two infantry squadrons to the battlefield.
The unlucky infantry battalion, which had suffered more than 150 casualties in Songjiang, finally added 80 people from the baggage soldiers, barely enough to fill the full strength.
When they quietly withdrew from the battlefield at night and arrived at the rear to count, the Japanese major, who had looked like his mother had died all day, almost shed tears.
Of the two infantry squadrons that entered the battlefield, the first infantry squadron that entered had 90 people still standing, and the other infantry squadron that entered later was in a slightly better situation, with 120 people.
This was equivalent to an infantry squadron disappearing into thin air.
But there were more than 200 casualties. Look at your cowardly look? Li Shoushan felt ashamed of having such a Japanese master. I lost almost 8 infantry companies, okay?
The huge casualties made Li Shoushan feel cold for the first time about the outcome of this war.
As a former Chinese, he knew too well the population advantage of China. If every battle was fought like this, let alone one-for-one, even if it was five-for-one, the Japanese would not be able to exchange enough people even if they sent all the old, weak, women and children in the country!
Taking the initiative to withdraw from the position that cost thousands of casualties to capture, fearing a night attack was one aspect, but more importantly, Li Shoushan and two Japanese majors discussed for an afternoon and decided to use their heavy firepower advantage.
If they couldn't capture this position in one day, they would use two days, and if two days didn't work, they would use three days. The order of the Tenth Army Headquarters only required them to arrive at the outskirts of Jinling before early December, and they still had enough time.
They were fed up with the tactic of exchanging lives for each other.
Compared with the heartbroken devils and the second devils, the Chinese highest commander, Lieutenant General of the 145th Division, was the one who really shed tears when counting personnel after the war in the daytime.
On the battlefield during the day, he was the supreme commander, and for the sake of tactical goals, he could ruthlessly put fresh lives into this life-driven meat grinder.
But when the bright moon was in the sky, he stood in front of the pale corpses, he was a father, a brother!
These young soldiers were all the soldiers he brought from his hometown. Their parents came to see them off before the whole army left. He drank the rice wine dumplings brought by the elders of his hometown and vowed that he would definitely return triumphantly with these young people.
But war is so cruel, there is no victory, let alone return.
His 1,800 soldiers, because of his order, went to the battlefield without hesitation, and then died in battle!
In just these two days, more than 2,000 died in battle.
If we add the casualties in Si'an a few days ago, there are less than 2,000 soldiers left from the 5,000 soldiers of the 145th Division who arrived at the front line.
Yes, although more troops were invested and the terrain was advantageous, the Sichuan Army was far inferior to the Japanese Army in terms of the quality of soldiers and light weapons and equipment. If we have to find another trait that can narrow the gap between the two sides, it is the bravery of the Sichuan people who are bloodthirsty and fearless of death.
In the afternoon, the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General even sent his own guard company in, so what was the point of the supervision team.
The Sichuan Army on the battlefield was no longer for any tactics, but purely for a breath: my brothers are almost dead, so what's the point of me living alone, it's better to die together, and we can still play the dragon gate formation together in the hell.
Of the 22 infantry companies that entered the position, four of them were killed, but no one retreated.
Fight the damn thing! This was the soldiers' last slogan.
The Major General of the 433rd Brigade, who was in charge of the right wing battlefield, rushed to the central main position. That was also the first time Tang Dao saw the Sichuan Army Major General who succeeded the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General as the commander of the 145th Division after the Sichuan Army Lieutenant General committed suicide in the war history records.
The sturdy middle-aged man with a calm face did not shed tears like the commander who stood alone in front of the array of corpses, but knelt down.
As a major general, he knelt in front of his ordinary military brothers.
"Brothers! Goodbye, I, Tong Yi, will come to find you in this life!" The Sichuan Army Major General raised his head to the sky and howled loudly.
Like a lone wolf who lost his companions.
The roar echoed among the mountains stained with blood.
Many years later, after the death of this major general who was promoted to lieutenant general, his descendants scattered his ashes in this mountain according to his last wish.
General, finally fulfilled his wish.
That should be the most peaceful and serene moment for a general who has spent his whole life in the military.
There is no mausoleum. Nearly 1,400 corpses who died on the spot were buried in trenches. The two thousand people who were still alive filled the positions they had fought for every inch of land during the day with soil, and the soldiers who had guarded them with their lives on this position were sleeping underneath.
The Japanese army in the distance only heard the sound of pickaxes and shovels from the opposite mountain, thinking that the Chinese were digging trenches overnight again.
When I thought of the dense trench passages like spider webs that would appear overnight, I felt chilled, but I could do nothing about it.
But for Li Shoushan and the two Japanese majors, this was enough to confirm that the group of die-hard Chinese soldiers would still resist stubbornly.
Throughout the night, the Japanese army in Guangde area exchanged telegrams frequently, and the Japanese Navy promised to send 24 bomber formations.
Since the Chinese position is so strong, then raze the entire mountain to the ground, and there is no position that the Great Japanese Empire cannot conquer.
Even the unlucky 36th Infantry Brigade, which has been dozens of kilometers away, received a telegram from Ushijima Mitsuru, ordering them to set off early the next morning to cooperate with the Kunisaki Detachment to conquer Guangde County.
As for the 1st Brigade of the Jing'an Army, although it is also in the sequence of the Imperial Army, it is only at the same level as the military dogs, and is not qualified to appear frequently in the battle report.
But the first to occupy the position that has been unconquered for a long time is the military dog. Provide you with the fastest update of Rising from Eight Hundred, Chapter 592 is free to read in one breath. :.
