Rise From Eight Hundred

Chapter 695: Building a dam to catch fish!

Yes!

At this moment, Takeuchi Yunshan's mind was extremely clear. He finally understood why the Chinese on the hill at the end of the valley more than 20 minutes ago no longer just defended, but tried to leave the position and launch an attack that was not considered resolute.

Originally, he thought that the Chinese only intended to drive their infantry away to establish an attack position, and then deploy troops to attack again.

Who knew that the Chinese did not intend to continue to drag it out. The so-called attack here was just a false appearance to attract attention. The real purpose was to establish a position in the seemingly impossible valley.

The experienced Japanese army colonel was very clear that if the Chinese were allowed to establish a position in the core hinterland of the remnant army under his command, it would be like building a dam in the stream to cut off the water for fishing. The movement space on the valley position divided into several sections would be compressed smaller and smaller, and when to start harvesting fish would be completely decided by the Chinese.

In other words, once this tactic was implemented, it would prove that the Chinese had begun to launch a general offensive, and the moment of a decisive battle had arrived.

In fact, not only the Japanese army colonel who lost command in the entire valley thought clearly about this, but also the commanders of the Japanese army at all levels who were divided in the valley were aware of the crisis.

With the long and shrill sound of the hand-cranked alarms that the Japanese army still had, the remaining Japanese army went crazy.

Even though the artillery company and the fire support company tried their best to throw artillery fire and various machine gun bullets at the 200 meters around Li Jiujin and Zhao Daqiang who were trying their best to build field positions, there were still many Japanese infantrymen who launched a charge under the cover of light machine guns and grenade launchers.

I don’t know how many Japanese infantry companies fell in despair before entering the 200-meter area, but there were still "shit yellow" ones who jumped agilely on the stone beach in the valley.

The strength of the "Steel Army" was fully demonstrated through this charge that was almost like a moth flying into a flame.

Unfortunately, Li Jiujin and Zhao Daqiang were also veterans who had survived hundreds of battles. As early as when they received the combat mission, they had already imagined this result.

The infantrymen were frantically digging for cover, but all the submachine guns, Mauser pistols, light machine guns, and grenade launchers were on standby. The oil barrels that rolled down horizontally or vertically were the best cover. They only needed to hide behind them, aim their guns forward, and wait for the Japanese army that rushed through the mortar barrage and heavy machine gun rain to arrive a hundred meters in front of the position.

Then, they opened fire with all their strength and emptied all the magazines before there was an order to stop firing.

Zhao Daqiang's 4th Company had already tasted the sweetness of firepower coverage in the last round of annihilation battles. The officers and soldiers of the 4th Company, who had received enough ammunition again, were very comfortable with it, and they output bullets desperately as if they were free.

Li Jiujin's 2nd Company might be so rich for the first time, and they were inevitably a little distressed at first, but they had a company commander who knew how to count. When he saw that the firepower coverage did not reach the level he wanted, he personally carried a submachine gun to join the front-line battlefield and angrily ordered: "Whoever has fewer empty bullets than me, Li, will have his military merit reset to zero, and the money saved will be divided equally among the other brothers."

What kind of officers lead what kind of soldiers, the old soldiers know how to count, and of course the people under them will not be bad. Some people have even calculated that after this battle, as long as the performance of the 2nd Company is not bad, the spoils and various rewards will be added, and each person alive can get about 20 yuan.

Originally, they were in a desperate situation, and money didn't really mean much to everyone, but now it's different. After this battle, they will retreat to Jiangbei to rest. The money can be sent home or used to buy food and clothes. Maybe they can even go to the building to have fun. Who wouldn't want it?

After hearing this, wouldn't they roll up their sleeves and work hard to output firepower? It used to take dozens of seconds to empty a magazine with long bursts and short bursts, but now it only takes less than 20 seconds.

The intensity of firepower even exceeded that of the 4th Company, which was already familiar with the situation.

As for whether someone would fire blindly and empty the bullets without releasing the trigger? People who have such doubts can only prove that they have never been on a real battlefield.

There is only one consequence of not killing the enemy, and that is being killed by the enemy.

No one will play tricks with their own lives!

The continuous firepower of the Chinese side at all costs is like a surging wave, one wave after another, and the Japanese side is naturally miserable.

And it is very miserable.

Especially on the side of Zhao Daqiang's 4th Company, there are nearly 500 Japanese soldiers on the left and right wings of his position attacking frantically.

Looking around, in the smoke stirred up by the shells, there are shit-yellow figures, people keep falling down and people keep rushing forward, and there are many people shooting in the smoke, and the iron oil drums filled with sand and gravel keep splashing sparks.

The illusion of poking a super hornet's nest would make people think that the number of Japanese troops far exceeded their previous expectations.

Even veterans who had experienced the battlefield would not be able to help but feel numb at that moment. A large number of Sichuan soldiers even fell to the ground directly, preferring to dig holes on the ground with their hands rather than using engineer shovels.

But soon, the continuous firepower broke the hearts of the Japanese and reassured the Chinese.

Zhao Daqiang now has more than one 4th Company, he also has two Sichuan Army companies. Although most of them are rifles, there are also Mauser pistols and even a few submachine guns.

Of course, light machine guns are also equipped. Although it is not as strong as one light machine gun per squad, an infantry company at least has 5 light machine guns. Together with the 4th Company itself, there are 18 light machine guns alone, plus a heavy machine gun, and more than 30 Mauser pistols and 15 submachine guns.

The American cowboys have proved in the future battle of Okinawa that no matter how desperately they charge, it is all vain in front of the barrage. The record of an infantry battalion shooting and killing 5,000 Japanese soldiers in two hours is jaw-dropping.

Here, it will be no exception.

With such a density of firepower, let alone 500 Japanese soldiers, even if a Japanese infantry battalion comes, it is a foolish dream to rely on pure infantry to attack the position.

As for the Japanese army, they are now pure infantry, without infantry artillery and heavy machine guns, and the few remaining grenade launchers can't easily fire from 400 meters away. Even if they avoid artillery shells and heavy machine gun bullets like rain, there are still a few pairs of eyes staring at them in the mountains.

The two teams of Gu Xishui's special operations team have long been ordered to support Li Jiujin and Zhao Daqiang's troops, killing Japanese officers and grenade launchers or light machine gun shooters to help relieve the pressure on the two troops.

From the time the two troops rushed down the mountain to now, at least six groups of Japanese grenade throwers have been sniped by the sharpshooters on the mountain, and three Japanese second lieutenants wearing ordinary Japanese military uniforms, but because their subordinates habitually lowered their heads, they were judged as officers and became Niu Er's trophies.

Perhaps because they were beaten in the river valley for too long, the Japanese army overestimated themselves after all.

Such a heroic charge lasted only less than 3 minutes. With more than 200 bodies lying in a mess on the exposed stone beach, the Japanese soldiers on the left and right sides of the 4th Company were crushed by the massive bullets fired by Chinese soldiers at no cost.

Abandoning the injured comrades who were still shouting for their help, leaving behind the remains of their comrades who had to be dragged away no matter how difficult it was, they fled in all directions, some frantically hiding in the mountains on both sides, and some turning back and running. Anyway, no one was going to do any deadly charge anymore.

Everyone knew that as the Chinese gained a foothold in the river valley, what awaited them was that the Chinese would advance step by step, and then drive them into a corner like driving mice and kill them one by one.

However, how they died at that time was a matter for the future, but if they didn't run now, they would die completely.

Seeing that even his own escort squadron chose to retreat and ran madly to the mountains on both sides, Takeuchi Yunshan's tears filled his eyes again.

This is a defeat!

A defeat that completely lost its organization and organization, and the countdown to the whole army being surrounded and killed by the Chinese has entered the final countdown.

Will he still have a chance to see the clouds in the evening?

The tears of the Japanese Army Colonel have given him the final answer: No!
