Rise From Eight Hundred

The observation posts lurking in the mountains and forests used flags to notify the Japanese troops behind the ridge to start taking action. The faces of the other three giants of the independent battalion were filled with surprise.

The tactical plan that their battalion commander temporarily revised an hour ago was successful again.

Yes, since the special operations team sent a secret message that the Japanese army had marched in the direction of Laojinkeng, nearly 1,700 people in the army, wearing hats camouflaged by vegetation, and even their arms and thighs were tied with dead branches, entered the fighting position and waited. No sign of the Japanese troops was seen for more than an hour.

On the road that can pass 94 tanks, the average marching speed of the Japanese army is only 2 kilometers per hour. That is not because the Japanese army has short legs, but because the Japanese commander is so cautious.

Every time you pass through a seemingly dangerous area, you will be carefully searched by the guards and will not pass until it is confirmed to be safe.

Therefore, based on the characteristics of the Japanese march reported by the special operations team, Tang Dao decided an hour ago to extract three Sichuan Army infantry companies that had been merged into the independent battalion, with Deputy Battalion Commander Guo Shouzhi as the commander. About 1,000 troops before crossing the valley Set up defense at meters.

Instead of letting him worry about being attacked, it is better to let him find out that Tang Dao used a reverse trick to 'snake the grass and scare the snake'.

What do humans fear most? It's unknown...

For example, why humans are so afraid of death is because no one knows what is behind death.

So Tang Dao simply put up a small formation and told the Japanese army clearly that I was here and could fight.

The Japanese commander, who had been cautious all the way, was indeed fooled, and the main force rushed towards the battlefield aggressively.

Of course, this psychological formation of "I've caught you" is also determined by the topography of the river valley in Laojinkeng. The river valley is more than 200 meters wide, and has enough space to allow people traveling through the river valley. The military provides a great sense of security.

The first to enter combat mode were not the main force of the independent battalion behind the ridges on both sides of the river valley, but the special operations team.

The order Gu Xishui received was to report the Japanese army's march along the way, and to do his best to prevent the Japanese army from sending out a distress signal after the battle started.

Therefore, the two special operations teams followed them all the way. The main targets they were looking for were not the Japanese officers who surrendered and disguised themselves as soldiers, but the communications corps and field radio stations that were closely protected by the Japanese army.

Gu Xishui, Niu Er and others who had been following them had already locked onto their targets, and once the war started, they would launch ferocious attacks on the targets.

Colonel Takeuchi Unzan, who dreamed of becoming the protagonist but didn't know he was already the protagonist, was sweating in vain.

Time passed quietly, and the loud footsteps shattered the original tranquility of the river valley.

Since knowing that the vanguard squadron had encountered the enemy, the Japanese army's march speed this time was faster than imagined.

A total of more than 6 miles and 3,000 meters of river valley were covered by the trotting Japanese forwards in 18 minutes, and that was even while fully armed.

This result is really outstanding, almost reaching the qualification standard for fully armed cross-country for Chinese soldiers in the future.

No wonder this Japanese army is known as the "Steel Army". In this era, not to mention equipment, just based on the military quality of the soldiers, the current Chinese army may only have a few elites who have experienced strategic shifts of tens of thousands of miles. To rival.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the flat terrain in the river valley.

The river valley has been used as a floodway all year round. Except for the main road that can be used for carriages, the open area is basically a rocky beach. No crops can grow, but some weeds grow here and there.

The Shuangxi River, which is only three meters wide, flows eastward along the mountain, while the mountain road winds along the mountain on the other side and at the foot of the mountain.

There was no hardship in going up and down the mountain, and the road was relatively wide. Not only did the Japanese infantry run vigorously, but the two leading 94 armored vehicles even ran smoothly, spitting out black smoke.

The Japanese commander of the first 94 armored vehicle even opened the top hatch to expose his entire upper body. While looking around vigilantly, he gave directions to the driver of the armored vehicle while admiring the scenery of the mountainous area in southern Anhui, China.

Along the way, as the pioneers, no one of the drivers of the two 94 armored vehicles who were most likely to be attacked dared to show their heads. Apart from getting out of the car to pee, they spent most of the several hours in the armored vehicle. In fact, It's almost frustrating people.

Especially the No. 1 car, from time to time, the captain of the Colonel's Wing, who has a big head and a thick neck, has to be stuffed into it. The feeling of being face to face and chest to chest with an army colonel was really terrible. The second lieutenant of the Armored Corps, who leaned out half of his body, did not want to experience it again in his life. If he could, he would rather stay so close to a pig. Go on for a while.

Gu Ying/span\u003eAt least, he didn't have to accidentally kiss a certain colonel on the face because of the bumps, and have to say sorry loudly. His ten toes almost dug through the thick soles of the cowhide military boots.

Now, in this beautiful place with mountains, water, and cool mountain breeze blowing, people can't help but feel better.

The mountains in southern Anhui are mostly composed of lava from volcanic eruptions tens of millions of years ago, and are very typical granite landforms.

The uncanny craftsmanship and rugged rocks are one of the characteristics of the mountainous area in southern Anhui. But that doesn’t mean that trees don’t grow on stone mountains with a lava base. On the contrary, there are many big trees in the mountains where few people have visited for thousands of years.

Especially in this era, China, where the industrial winds have not even touched the plains, has basically maintained its original appearance in all mountainous areas.

In addition to digging some food from the little land, the simple mountain people also have to rely on the mountains to eat, hunt wild animals from the mountains and collect mountain goods to make a living!

It's not like the future, where you can hollow out the whole mountain and leave a big hole for quarrying, and cut the whole mountain into a bald spot for logging and selling money.

Now, it's the same as it was in ancient times.

The two not-so-high mountains that sandwich the river valley are lush and green from the middle of the mountain, with bushes and lush trees, which is really suitable for hiding. Even if the Japanese army wanted to go up to check, they couldn't climb up without more than ten or twenty minutes.

What's more, in order not to be exposed, except for a very small number of observation posts, the main force of the independent battalion was hidden behind the ridge. It was not until the Japanese army began to enter the river valley in large numbers that they quietly entered their respective ambush positions from the woods.

The first round of attack was not launched by rifles, machine guns, or mortars.

In other words, the officers and soldiers of the artillery company of the independent battalion threw their beloved mortars aside for the first time and used the crude large-caliber "artillery" with oil barrels as barrels.

They were ordered to launch the first round of attack, and they only needed to complete a tactical action, shooting all the explosive packs on hand into the river valley.

There was no requirement for accuracy, only hand speed, and the explosive packs should be "shot" empty as soon as possible.

Of course, in order to prevent the explosive packs from falling on the mountain without being thrown into the river valley, there would be no infantry positions in front of all the "flying thunder cannons".

Once that thing fell on their own positions, the Chinese soldiers who were most familiar with the power of explosive packs knew that an infantry squad was blown up to the sky because of the blessing of gods and Buddhas, and the most daring Chinese soldiers did not dare to stay under the muzzle of that thing.

A total of 100 gasoline barrels were used to make the "unscrupulous cannon". For the entire 3,000-meter-long river valley, the artillery company of more than 100 soldiers brought two Sichuan Army infantry companies to help them, with an average of 4 people responsible for one gasoline barrel.

The reason why it takes up to four people to be in charge of such a simple "cannon" is that although the shell loading is simple, the lower part of the gasoline barrel, which serves as the cannon body and barrel, must be buried in the soil, relying on the earth to offset the huge recoil generated by the explosion of black powder.

The workload is not as easy as imagined. The TV scene of putting the gasoline barrel on the ground and igniting the cannon is simply unbearable to watch.

Once the cannon is fired, the gasoline barrel must also fly into the sky! Do you think that the power that can drop several kilograms of explosives more than 100 meters away is in vain?

Do you understand that the action of force is mutual? Even if Tang Dao did not pass the junior high school physics, he still knew this simple physics common sense.

In the first round of attack, 100 explosive packs soared into the sky, flew into the sky from more than 20 meters behind the ridge, and then drew a beautiful arc to fall on the heads of the Japanese soldiers who were jogging in the valley to enjoy the scenery.

"What?" The Japanese infantry looked up at the black giant falling from the sky, their eyes frozen.

The Chinese used the ancient trebuchet?

But they are not a city! ...
