Rise From Eight Hundred

This canyon that reaches the Black Dragon Pond may not be very wide, but its average depth is more than fifty meters.

People standing at the bottom of the valley have to raise their heads to see above. Even then, what they see is just a sliver of sky. Even if someone deliberately sticks his head out on the cliff, he can't see clearly.

How about a fight? Are you keeping your head raised and your gun raised, waiting for the Chinese to stick their heads out for you to hit?

Based on the mentality of the Japanese infantrymen who were in a desperate situation at that time, even if the Chinese did not shoot black guns downwards and push rocks to smash them down, the results of the battle would have been brilliant enough.

Unfortunately, what they faced was not the guerrillas carrying native guns they had encountered in northern Shanxi, but the Si Xing Regiment, which at this time was definitely at the top of the list in terms of equipment in China.

If they could stand on the cliff, they would be able to see that the Chinese in dark blue military uniforms, in addition to holding guns in their hands, both officers and soldiers, without exception, had two "bells and whistles" hanging on their chests and behind their chests. small bag.

The Japanese may not understand that the color is called camouflage, but they definitely know that a bag that can be carried on the battlefield is definitely not a decoration for show.

That is the Explosive No. 1 explosive pack produced by the Sixings Regiment Military Factory and specially designed for individual soldiers!

If there are more than 600 people, they will probably carry about 1,300, which is almost one-half of the output of the military factory in this month.

Leng Feng and Shangguan Yun would rather carry less grenades, which are useful in both offense and defense, and carry these explosive packs originally used for attacking fortresses. It is true that the No. 1 explosive pack, which was developed only a month ago, is too ineffective. .

It was the masterpiece of Zhang Kai, a senior talent recruited by Tang Tuanzuo from a stingy old man, who had devoted himself to the research and development of explosives for half a year.

The biggest dream of the explosives genius who was imprisoned in prison was to develop explosives that could blow up the entire prison into the sky so that he could reunite with his family after being separated for many years. As a result, Tang Tuanzuo used money to help him complete the follow-up to his dream.

Not only did he redeem him from prison, but he also brought his family back from the original city. That's all. The magical Tang Tuanzuo also knew how to synthesize explosives, and even gave incredible insights into the chemical synthesis of explosives. It is currently the most popular in the West. In his eyes, the advanced TNT explosive is just a second-generation explosive, and he asserts that it won't be long before a third-generation explosive appears.

A handwritten chemical formula and a batch of chemical drugs specially for Zhang Kai's research were placed in front of Zhang Kai. His personal salary was that of deputy chief engineer of the military factory, ranking fifth among the most valued military factories in the Four Lines Group. That was a high-level treatment that many soldiers who followed Tang Tuanzuo through life and death did not receive.

But what shocked Zhang Kai even more was the meaningful words left to him by Tang Tuanzuo: "Gunpowder was invented by our ancestors. There is no reason for us descendants to bury the glory of our ancestors. Deputy Chief Engineer Zhang, you are already I am currently the best explosives expert in China, and I believe you will not disappoint the entire army of the Four Elements Regiment!"

As the saying goes, "A scholar will die for a confidant." Tang Tuanzuo has already done and said this. What else can the former father of explosives in the Jin Province Arsenal say? Just work hard and it's over.

For more than 150 days and nights, this explosives genius only slept an average of 4 hours a day and devoted himself to researching new explosives day and night.

Ten years of painstaking research in prison was accumulated under Tang Tuanzuo's deliberate guidance, and after more than a hundred days and nights of hard work, it finally broke out.

An ammonium nitrate obtained after countless experiments appeared!

After this ammonium nitrate is detonated, the explosive power reaches twice that of TNT explosives, and the explosion speed reaches an astonishing 6,000 meters per second. Only 500 grams can completely blow up a machine gun bunker made of reinforced concrete. Its power It's so big that wherever it goes it feels like it's being blown by a whirlwind.

"Cyclone Explosive", this is the name given by Teacher Xiao He to this new type of explosive after the explosive test was successful.

Perhaps except for Tang Tuanzuo, no one knows that this kind of explosive will have a more resounding name around the world in the future - RDX.

In fact, the Western world discovered this explosive ingredient as early as 40 years ago. However, this explosive can cause combustion and explosion when exposed to open flames, high temperatures, vibrations, and impacts. It is far less stable than TNT explosives, so it is difficult to use it on a large area.

However, mankind's persistence in developing murderous weapons may have exceeded the imagination of the Creator. Until the end of World War II, under the tireless pursuit of military industry experts, mixing beeswax into it could make RDX gunpowder less likely to explode.

This also became the future famous Iron Fist rocket of the German Empire, and also became a nightmare for Allied tankers!

The 'Cyclone Explosive' developed by Zhang Kai is of course only a preliminary version of the RDX explosive. No matter the explosion power or explosion speed, it cannot be compared with the RDX explosive that has officially entered the stage of history. But for the Four Lines Group at this time Saying that is enough.

Explosive packages originally made of yellow gunpowder had to be filled with a larger amount of explosives in order to achieve greater explosive power. As a result, an explosive package weighed 10 kilograms or even 15 kilograms, and the transportation cost was extremely high. However, the emergence of this kind of explosive only requires one Kilogram, you can achieve the explosive effect of 15 kilograms of yellow gunpowder.

Therefore, the combat mission of the infantrymen of the Fourth Line Regiment who rushed to the mountain ridge was actually very simple. They lit an explosive pack, threw it, and then quickly turned over at least ten meters away from the canyon and lay down on all fours to avoid the shelling.

Wait a minute, rush to the edge of the canyon again, light the second explosive pack, throw it down, and lie down again.

During this period, they will not receive any military orders. Because everyone's ears have been stuffed with cotton at the moment the signal flare rises.

In fact, after the first explosive pack exploded, no one can hear any other sound.

As long as you are still alive, your ears are full of endless "boom" explosions.

Whether you stuff cotton or not, the terrible explosion will drill into your ears, making you feel that there is nothing else in this world, only violent explosions.

The earth shakes, making the people lying on the ground feel as if they are on the sea.

Let's not discuss what kind of experience the Japanese infantry in the canyon is. Even the initiators above the canyon, more than one-third of the officers and soldiers, did not have the opportunity to throw their second explosive pack according to the military order.

The air waves that sweep up tens of meters or even hundreds of meters will give people an illusion that as long as they stand up, they will be swept up to the sky by this terrible air wave.

Faced with the threat of death at hand, even the determined soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment were a little dazed and absent-minded at that second.

For Oshima Masayoshi, who was several miles away, the first thunderclap that reached his ears was not enough to change his face drastically, but the explosion that followed was like thunder in the sky, which was endless.

The face of the Japanese Army Colonel was pale as paper in an instant.

The Chinese actually used an unknown amount of explosives, which was a devastating blow to the infantry in the canyon.

Even if his mind was blank at this time, the Japanese Army Colonel could fully imagine the miserable explosion in the canyon at this time.

However, with a length of more than 3,000 meters, the officers and soldiers of the Four-line Regiment responsible for throwing the "cyclone explosive packs" threw more than 960 explosive packs in total. If calculated by length and number, it can be averaged to more than 3 meters per pack.

The power of the No. 1 explosive pack, named by Zhang Kai, who has become low-key and introverted, has been tested on buildings and live pigs and sheep, but has never been practiced in actual combat.

The first time the No. 1 explosive pack was used, it was given to nearly 2,000 Japanese soldiers in the canyon. Both the explosives and the experiencers reached an unprecedented high.

The air wave formed by the ‘whirlwind explosive’ is completely a no-dead-angle killing. Even if a rock corner can block the air wave in one direction, you can’t block it from all directions. There is always a force coming from an angle that can knock you away, and then be torn apart by huge energy.

Not to mention the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the valley, even many battle-hardened officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment on the ridge were frightened by the air wave rising into the sky.

Not to mention that many of the baggage soldiers did not dare to throw the second explosive pack, even Shi Hao himself crawled forward for several meters and encouraged himself in his heart before igniting the fuse and throwing the explosive pack several meters ahead.

The scene in front of him was really beyond the imagination of this infantry company commander who had experienced the Battle of the Four-Line Warehouse.

The terrible air waves formed by the violent explosion of the explosive packs dropped in front had nowhere to vent in the canyon. It was like a raging flood. Although it was mainly raging along the two ends of the canyon, it would rise to the sky when it encountered corners or rocks and blocked the air waves.

In the face of violent energy, whether it was tens of meters high or hundreds of kilograms of boulders, it was a joke.

The rocks broken by the air waves were carried by the air waves to jump out of the canyon tens of meters high, even higher to the sky, and then fell down fiercely.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment were equipped with steel helmets, and when they lay down, they curled up their heads to reduce the area of ​​their bodies. The rocks broken by the air waves were not too big. Even if they were unlucky enough to be hit by stones, as long as they were not hit by one guy, it would at least not be fatal.

But just like that, in the first round of throwing explosive packs, more than 20 people were injured by the falling rocks that were swept up by the violent air waves and rushed to the sky, and even a few had their legs broken.

In the face of this man-made power, this is still considered good. The most terrifying thing is that perhaps due to weathering, the violent explosion of the No. 1 explosive pack actually collapsed the entire mountain.

The three baggage platoon soldiers hiding on the rock were caught off guard and fell into the canyon with the collapsed mountain. The canyon, which was nearly 80 meters deep, was raised by more than 20 meters. Whether the devils were alive or dead in the explosion, they all had graves at that moment, and they were all natural.

Even the Four-line Regiment that threw the explosive packs suffered casualties, let alone the Japanese soldiers who were bombed at the bottom of the canyon?

Since the first explosive pack exploded, no gunshots have been heard in the canyon. It was not that the desperate and crazy Japanese soldiers did not shoot upwards, but that the gunshots were completely drowned out by the thundering explosions.

In fact, when the first explosive pack was dropped, except for the 300 Japanese soldiers who had already walked out of the valley and were building field fortifications at the entrance of the valley, the 100 Japanese soldiers who were still marching in the valley, even if they had walked only 100 meters away from the entrance of the valley and had thrown away all the heavy objects on their bodies including rifles and were running wildly, could not escape the sickle in the hands of the old man who was grinning and madly harvesting lives.

Even if the 100 Japanese soldiers were 400 meters away from the center of the explosion, they could not save their lives. Because the narrow terrain of Heilonggou is really a paradise for explosives, and the air waves formed by the explosion cannot be dissipated in all directions like on the plains.

Except for a few pieces of gravel that dared to block them from venting their power and rushed into the sky, most of the manic energy rushed wildly along the two ends of the canyon.

The Japanese army, which was extremely experienced in combat, had actually done a great job. When the sound of the explosion reached their ears, they were stunned for only more than three seconds before dropping their guns and running wildly towards the canyon mouth that they could already see. As they ran, they dropped all the loads on their bodies that might hinder their running, with only one purpose, to reduce the weight, speed up, rush out of the canyon mouth, and avoid the accompanying air waves.

If there were cameras at this time, they would find that although the group of Japanese soldiers might not be the fastest runners in the world, they were definitely the fastest group of 100 people in the world. In just those ten seconds, they actually ran out more than 80 meters collectively.

Human beings are indeed worthy of being the masterpieces chosen by the Creator. Even the crudely made and defective products among them have burst out with almost brilliant potential at this moment.

But in front of the air waves of a thousand meters in an instant, let alone the Japanese infantry wearing thick leather shoes and only two short legs, even a jet plane driving a speed of 2,000 kilometers per hour could not escape.

The Japanese soldier running in the front was probably only more than ten meters away from the valley entrance. If he had been given another 2 seconds or even 5 seconds, he might have crossed the finish line in his eyes and used the solid and heavy mountain wall to escape the violent explosion energy.

Then in the next 5 seconds, his wish came true in advance.

The raging air wave swept him out of the valley, not only sending him out of the valley entrance, but also sending him into the sky, and then, in a beautiful arc, sending him to the mountain more than 300 meters away from the valley entrance.

With a muffled "bang", the sturdy human body was like a flesh bomb thrown by a catapult, hitting a stone hard, splashing a blood flower.

There was no scream. The Japanese infantryman who was about to escape had actually lost his life the moment the air wave came to him. The violent air wave immediately shattered his internal organs into pieces.

It can be easily thrown to hundreds of meters away by a 70-kilogram human body, and you can imagine the horror of this violent energy.

Not to mention the Japanese soldiers on both sides of the valley entrance who had just been attacked and hid in temporary shelters, staring at countless complete or incomplete bodies of their colleagues rushing out of the valley entrance like flowers scattered by fairies, even the officers and soldiers of the Four-line Regiment hundreds of meters away were shocked.

The canyon exit, which was more than ten meters wide, was like a bottle mouth filled with manic gas and uncorked. The violent energy threw human bodies and gravel to the position like a gust of wind.

There was no need for Leng Feng to shout and hide. Everyone immediately bent down and hid themselves in the trenches that were no more than 6 meters deep. It was the fate of the soldiers to die from the bullets of the Japanese invaders in the battle, but if they were killed by explosives thrown by their own people, they would not be killed by the explosion, but by the enemies who were killed by the explosion. Then there was no place to complain to the King of Hell!

In fact, those who had the opportunity to be sent out of the valley entrance like a cannonball by the violent energy were still lucky. At least, there was still a body.

Most of the Japanese invaders in the canyon had no chance to fly into the sky. They were basically carried by the violent energy and smashed into the mountain wall, and then baked black by the high temperature at the center of the explosion, forming the most realistic human murals. That was really terrifying.

After this battle, the villagers around Heilonggou would never pass through this section of the canyon unless it was an urgent matter. The black stains that can be seen everywhere on the solid mountain walls always remind people that more than 2,000 ghosts are buried in this valley.

The ghosts who were blown into murals without even seeing the faces of Chinese soldiers.

Especially in the season when the cold wind is howling, bursts of wailing can be heard from time to time in the valley, which can be heard for dozens of miles, making people feel cold.

It was not until decades later that a scientific team came to this canyon, which was called the Ghost Valley by local villagers, to investigate, hoping to solve the reason why the whole mountain valley would make a whistling sound.

In the end, science solved the mystery. It turned out that the reason why people heard the wailing sounds similar to humans in the cold winter was that there were a lot of cracks in the rock layer in this canyon. It was fine when the wind speed was slow at ordinary times, but when the wind speed increased in autumn and winter, the cracks of different sizes became trumpets, and the wind blew out sounds like miserable howling.

The huge energy generated by nearly 1,000 kilograms of "cyclone explosives" shook the nearly 4,000-meter canyon stone, and the fragile human body would not be turned into slag?

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment did not throw down all 1,300 explosive packs, otherwise this natural canyon might have been completely blown down.

Then I am afraid that the infantry company led by Shi Hao and a baggage platoon would have suffered more than 3 deaths and 36 injuries.

If it is not good, most of the people will have to accompany more than 2,000 devils in the canyon.

This is the so-called fate!

After all, this is the territory of China, and the incense of the ancestors is not eaten in vain, so at least contribute a little.

Oshima Masayoshi, whose face was as pale as paper, was still alive. The Japanese army colonel who had just entered the valley entrance left the canyon and hid in a temporary bunker before the explosion.

No one was fine, but in the battlefield that had been completely covered by the wind and sand raised by the air wave, the Japanese army colonel could not help but shed two lines of clear tears.

Although he wanted to say that he was blinded by the wind and sand. But he knew that it was not.

The limbs and remains that kept flying out of the valley entrance more than 200 meters away proved that the two elite infantry battalions under his command were finished.

Including the hundreds of people who had arrived at the valley entrance to set up defenses, with the wisdom of the Chinese commander who designed such a genius tactic, he would never miss such a good opportunity.

And if he wanted to save them, he had to increase his troops and cross the mountains!

"Send a telegram to the captain, my troops were attacked and suffered heavy losses, and one part was surrounded, requesting reinforcements!" The eyes of the Japanese army colonel, who still had tears on his face, were already red.

That was not only his last chance to redeem himself, but also the last chance for hundreds of imperial officers and soldiers who arrived at the valley mouth!

But the Japanese army colonel, who thought he would not easily abandon his officers and soldiers, completely entered the rhythm of the opponent. He thought that the opponent's commander had played all his cards!

But in fact, besieging a point and attacking reinforcements is the real essence of mobile warfare!
