Rise From Eight Hundred

"Bang!" With a gunshot in the dark night, the Japanese infantry finally entered the battle.

However, the first battle between the First Division and the infantry of the Four Lines Regiment was not in the early morning of the second day, but late at night.

"At 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, all ministries will launch a ground attack!" Saburo Okabe looked at the casualty reports sent by the ministries on the table as the sun set. His face was as iron as steel. After a moment of silence, he ordered coldly.

"Order the front army's special attack brigade to attack!"

The so-called special attack brigade was formed on the basis of Fujiwara Senio's original special attack squadron.

Although in the battle in mid-1938, the special attack squadron led by Fujiwara Senzuo ended in the annihilation of the entire army, after the war, after analysis and combined with the elusive scouts of the Four Troops, the departed General Sugisugimoto still remained The role of this elite team was affirmed, and his successor also agreed with this view.

With the insistence of the two commanders, the special attack squadron was not only not abolished, but was even expanded and built from the squadron to the brigade level.

It's just that the personnel reorganized this time did not use domestic ninjas and warriors as the main personnel like the martial arts madman Fujiwara Senio. Instead, elite veterans with more than 3 years of military service were directly drawn from the divisions of the North China Front to assist with the best. The equipment, coupled with some special training, is similar to the reconnaissance company of the Four Lines Regiment, and already has a bit of the shadow of the future special forces.

The training lasted for a full year. After recovering from his injury, Fujiwara Senzuo also served as their fighting instructor and often participated in their training.

Although it is said to be a brigade, the number of personnel who can ultimately pass the training and assessment is actually only about 300, which is about the same size as the current reconnaissance company of the Four Lines Regiment.

But the level is very high. Its commander is the rank of major, and the lowest rank among the officers and soldiers is also the sergeant. Its organization is also different from the ordinary infantry brigade. There are no squadrons under the brigade, only squads and detachments.

A squad consists of five squads of 12 people. The squad leader is a captain, and the squad leader is a lieutenant or second lieutenant.

The standard equipment of the team members is the newly developed Type 99 7mm 5-shot bolt-action short-barreled rifle. The penetration of 7mm ammunition into simple fortifications such as earth walls far exceeds that of 5mm Arisaka bullets, which is one inch shorter. The cut barrel has no loss of accuracy within the effective range of 350 meters.

In addition, some members are equipped with German Empire MP28 submachine guns for fire support. Each member carries a Southern Type 14 pistol and a sword made of fine steel according to their own preferences, as well as high-calorie rations that can survive in the wild for a week.

Although there is no grenade launcher due to load-bearing reasons, in terms of medium and long-range firepower, this is definitely the most powerful existence among the Japanese infantry.

In this battle of Zishan, Duo Tianjun was finally willing to stab the sharp knife that had been sharpened for a year, which was another strong support for Saburo Okabe.

Saburo Okabe, who was the chief of staff of the North China Front and personally presided over its formation, naturally knew the tactical role of this elite force, and of course he would not be so stupid as to let them attack the Chinese forward positions where they were well prepared at night.

Saburo Okabe had already broken up this 290-man force into small groups. The 501st Infantry Regiment, led by Miyauchi Yoshio, reached a peak 16 miles from the flank of the offensive direction and bypassed the Chinese defensive position. Climb the mountains, enter the Chinese defense zone, and conduct reconnaissance and destruction behind enemy lines.

In fact, the Japanese army's usual attack method has always been to send small groups of troops to go around the enemy's rear to carry out various harassment and sabotage, and to wait for opportunities to assassinate important enemy figures. In the past, General Zhang died on the battlefield. There was a sneak attack by a small group of Japanese troops.

Now, after many encounters with the Four Elements Group, the beaten Japanese finally let go of their arrogance, began to learn from their opponents, and gained a certain degree of destructive power.

It is conceivable that if such an elite force is allowed to penetrate into the Zishan defense zone, it will bring terrible destructive power.

However, the area of ​​Zishan is too large. Even though Tang Tuanzuo, who had spent a year conducting detailed surveys of the mountainous areas around Zishan and was familiar with the defensible areas, could only set up defense lines in areas where people and heavy equipment could pass, he was unable to stop light attacks. The infantry entered over the mountains and ridges.

But Tang Tuanzuo is the strongest individual soldier from the strongest special forces on the border of China in the future. When it comes to large-scale group operations, Tang Tuanzuo is probably far from the top, but when it comes to special operations, he is the number one in this time and space. none of them.

Tang Dao had already dispatched nearly 700 of the recalled reconnaissance company and mountain infantry company, but this time Tang Dao did not focus on attacking the enemy as in the past. More than 100 people served as his eyes on the plains, and another 500 Many people can be inside the defense zone.

However, because the Four Lines Regiment has many logistics departments located in the mountains, most of its troops are deployed for defense around these troops, and less than one-third of them can be dispersed into the mountains.

Tang Dao told the two company commanders: "The prey coming this time may be very ferocious. You hunters should be careful not to miss the prey and be bitten by it instead."

Tang Dao's prediction of the Japanese army this time did not come from intelligence, but combined with the losses suffered last time when Fujiwara Battle led his troops to attack the defense area of ​​the 17th Division in Southeast Shanxi. Based on his understanding of the Japanese, they had tasted the sweetness before. Will not give up easily.

Moreover, Tang Dao has always had an intuition that he will meet Fujiwara Senio. The guy who is obsessed with martial arts is by no means the kind of person who gives up easily.

But this time, part of Tang Dao's intuition was obviously wrong. At this time, Fujiwara Zhanxiong was still training hard at the training ground of the special attack brigade in Pingbei City.

Having failed twice at Tang Dao's hands, Fujiwara Zhanxiong would never allow himself to fail a third time. It was not just pride, but Fujiwara Zhanxiong knew very well that if it were not for the fact that he could exchange for a brigade's equipment and hundreds of captured personnel, with Tang Dao's personality, the grass on his grave might be as high as a person.

That means that he has one and only one chance. Martial arts alone are not enough for him to fight to the death with that man. He has to become stronger, whether it is cold weapons or hot weapons.

But another part of Tang Dao's intuition is right. The prey has come to the door, and it is extremely ferocious.

. . . . . . . . .

"Four." After Yuan Xiao fired a shot, he quickly rolled down the grass nest where he had just taken shelter, muttering to himself while counting.

Obviously, Yuanxiao hid in time, but a second later, the grass nest where he had just hidden was covered by several bullets. If he was still there, he would be injured or dead. The Japanese's shooting skills were amazing.

After quietly lying on the thick roots of a dead old tree exposed on the ground, Yuanxiao looked to the other side of his right hand and saw the squad leader hiding behind a stone not far away giving him a thumbs up.

Yuanxiao smiled gently, revealing a beautiful white tooth in the watery moonlight.

At such a life-and-death moment, Yuanxiao, who had always been a little cold, never felt that the squad leader's encouragement was so important to him. Perhaps, it was because he needed his companions to fight side by side with him more!

As a corporal in the mountain infantry company, Yuanxiao has always been a relatively alternative existence.

Yuanxiao is not a nickname, but his name!

Yuanxiao's experience in joining the Four-Line Regiment was a little different from that of others. It was in November 1938 when Tang Dao led Longyan and others to return to their hometown and met him on the streets of the mountain city.

When I met Yuanxiao, this guy was actually a homeless man with green eyes from hunger. Such homeless people can be seen everywhere on the streets of the mountain city, but this guy who was about to starve to death was a little different from others. He would not even look at the cakes thrown on the ground by passers-by, unless the cakes were placed in his hands.

Of course, that may also be the time when he was not very hungry. Only those who have been hungry know that when you are hungry to the end, let alone the cakes thrown on the ground, even if they are thrown into the pit, you will wash them carefully and put them into your mouth without leaving any residue.

However, the tenacious willpower of this young homeless man made Longyan, who had also been hungry and knew what hunger felt like, look at him differently.

Longyan thought he could be a soldier, so under Longyan's persuasion and funding, the homeless man Yuanxiao went to Tang Dao's hometown to join the new recruits, which not only solved his food problem but also solved the problem of soldiers, which was a win-win situation.

What made Long Yan laugh and cry was that this handsome young man who looked very handsome after washing was actually lazy and could not do anything. Even folding the quilt, if ordinary soldiers could fold it into tofu blocks after a few days of training, that guy folded it like a pile of shit.

Not only that, he was also very cold and looked down on everyone.

If he had not seen him wandering on the street with his own eyes, Long Yan would have regarded him as a lazy young master who did not know how to eat grains. Such a guy did not eat the so-called beggar's food and did not starve to death. It was really blind.

However, Yuan Xiao's origin can confirm his performance. A rich young man was forced to come to Sichuan to start a new business due to disagreements between his brothers. He was hit hard again. In the end, he had to wander on the street alone because of an accident.

But surprisingly, after Tang Dao's old father learned about this situation, he gave Yuan Xiao 20 silver dollars to let him go home, but he refused.

Yuan Xiao followed the Sichuan Army Recruit Corps to fight in Tongguan and Zhongtiao Mountain until entering southeastern Shanxi. Whether in terms of combat experience or time, he can be called a veteran, but in fact, he is still a rookie.

Because Yuan Xiao hardly participated in the combat, the commander of the recruit company was afraid that this guy would cause trouble, so he asked him to be a clerk, helping all the officers and soldiers in the company to write letters home and count the results of the battle and the distribution of materials.

Even in southeastern Shanxi, all the recruits were disbanded and reorganized. Yuan Xiao was selected by Long Yan to join the elite mountain infantry company and served as a clerk in the company headquarters. He was a pure civilian corporal.

But what impressed Gu Xishui was not Long Yan's recommendation, but Yuan Xiao's extreme intelligence. From a person who could be said to have no ability, it only took one month to catch up with many recruits who were originally stronger than him. His skills were not the strongest, but his smart mind was his biggest advantage.

It was just speechless that no matter whether it was training or assessment, this lazy but talented guy always ranked in the front, a little worse than the veterans, but a little better than the recruits. Even Gu Xishui could only shake his head and let it go.

This is a good piece of steel, but the temperature is not high enough.

Gu Xishui is not helpless, but he believes that only after the war, Yuan Xiao, a somewhat different soldier, will become a good soldier like his comrades.

Therefore, before the Battle of Zishan, Gu Xishui kicked Yuan Xiao, a veteran with more than a year of military service, to the infantry squad and became a new soldier in the front-line infantry.

Now, Yuan Xiao, who is both old and new, is experiencing the most difficult training in his life.

Tonight, the moonlight is as bright as water and the stars are shining, but it is not a good day for killing.

The forests in the north are mostly coniferous forests, which are not too dense. Under such starlight, the visibility is not low, and the enemy's shadow can be seen from 10 to 20 meters away.

However, this is not the main reason why Yuanxiao harvested the fourth head within half an hour. The small traps that Yuanxiao set while retreating were the main cause of the death of four Japanese soldiers.

The sound and hesitation for a moment will wait for Yuanxiao's bullets in a flash.

But even so, Yuanxiao and the veteran squad leader are still in danger.

I don’t know if it’s too unlucky, the hunting team composed of two people actually encountered a small team of Japanese troops, which is 6 times more than their enemies.

Now, they have killed 6 people, but there are still 6 people hiding opposite them. As long as they are not careful, the two will suffer a catastrophe.

Half an hour has passed, and no reinforcements are approaching the two of them. The sporadic gunshots and grenade explosions in the distance show that the comrades in the platoon have also encountered their enemies.

If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself. At least, we have to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Yuanxiao lowered his head, only using the corner of his eyes to scan the surroundings, while listening vigilantly to all the sounds from the surroundings.

Everything was very quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little suffocated.

The remaining 6 Japanese soldiers were not much better than the 2 soldiers of the Four-Line Regiment. After half an hour of fighting, they finally determined that the snipers were only two Chinese soldiers.

What they couldn't accept was that the two Chinese soldiers shot and killed their 6 comrades, especially from the last accurate hit of the opponent, the two opponents were still alive. The comrade who was shot in the head was lying quietly in the grass, and like the first five, he had long lost the value of rescue.

The elite of the Chinese were even more terrifying than these elites selected from the army of more than 200,000? The Japanese elite who were full of confidence at the beginning of entering the battlefield were a little frightened by the two Chinese soldiers with terrifyingly accurate marksmanship.

To be precise, these Japanese soldiers have already begun to retreat, and they don't even want the honor of being the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire.

They would rather die on the battlefield than die in this silent jungle. They shudder at the thought that their bodies will become food for the wild beasts in this jungle.

However, the two Chinese soldiers returned to the darkness and maintained a terrible silence, which made these elite Japanese soldiers very clear that the other side did not intend to let them go.

If you want to run, you will only die faster.

If you want to live, you can only kill the enemy.

At this point, the Chinese and Japanese soldiers have a common tacit understanding.

If you don't die, I can't live well!

In the gestures of a Japanese second lieutenant who kept waving, the remaining Japanese soldiers mustered up their courage, scattered, and approached the two opponents.

As long as the distance is shortened, it will be the death of the two Chinese soldiers.

As time passed, the night became darker and darker, but the moonlight and starlight in the sky seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, so bright that it made people palpitate.

The two Chinese soldiers and the Japanese group were still fighting. Because of the inequality in numbers, the two Chinese soldiers were obviously much more tired. For safety reasons, the distance between the two people was getting farther and farther, and they protected each other with a dozen meters between them.

The Japanese soldiers on the opposite side had only four people left. In the nearly three hours of fighting, another Japanese soldier was caught and accidentally stepped on the trap set by Yuanxiao. However, there was no need for Yuanxiao and his squad leader to shoot again. The booby trap technique learned from Professor Tang Tuanzuo directly blew off the leg of a Japanese soldier who touched the grenade under the leaves.

When the Japanese soldier closest to him was shocked and went to rescue the fellow Kyushu Islander whose thigh had flown more than ten meters away, the veteran squad leader more than ten meters away shot him in the head.

The two soldiers used the tactics written in the booklet by Tang Tuanzuo, using the enemy's injured soldiers as bait to kill their rescue companions, which could be regarded as a miniaturized siege and reinforcement.

The most typical case is the war in which the Republic of the Past Time and Space taught a lesson to its disobedient little brother in the 1980s. A Chinese soldier hiding in a cat ear cave, using a severely injured Annan soldier who could not move, actually killed more than a squad of enemies.

In the end, even the Chinese soldiers themselves were a little soft-hearted, but the Annan people were still very determined not to give up the plan to rescue their comrades. In the end, the battle ended with the death of more than 20 soldiers who participated in the rescue and the wounded soldiers who bled out and still died on the spot.

Unfortunately, the Japanese were not Annan people. The remaining four Japanese soldiers were obviously determined enough. After discovering the intention of the Chinese soldiers, the leading Japanese lieutenant did not hesitate to shoot and kill the compatriots who were still wailing.

At this point in the war, it was no longer a question of fear or life and death. The only thought of both sides was to kill each other, one to defend the country and the other to avenge.

The final result can only be that one side fell down completely.

The Japanese's shooting skills were also extremely accurate, almost on the same level as the veteran squad leader. If we had to compare them, Yuanxiao would definitely be the last in the overall ranking of China and Japan.

It was just that Yuanxiao was smart enough to make full use of the time and place to completely make up for this gap. Otherwise, with the huge difference in military strength, the two Chinese soldiers would have been dead long ago.

The two fought and retreated, and the space was compressed little by little.

The veteran squad leader kept making gestures to Yuanxiao, but Yuanxiao just pretended not to see it.

Although he was still aloof, after a year of living and eating together, he had already formed a deep friendship with these rude soldiers. In fact, he had already recognized them in his heart.

Moreover, if the squad leader had not risked his life to rescue him, he might have died in the jungle. How could he leave the squad leader alone to stop four Japanese devils and escape by himself?

Even if he could go back alive, not to mention that he could not see the company commander and brothers, even his stubborn father, who had completely blacklisted him in his heart, would be disappointed again!

"Alas, it's a pity for this kid!" Seeing that Yuanxiao was not moved at all, the veteran squad leader sighed in his heart, and finally let go of his worries and calmed down to look ahead.

Since the corporal with the best handwriting in the whole company was unwilling to escape alone, the two of them would face death together!

It would be best to kill one or two more before dying. The veteran who completely ignored life and death and calmed down was undoubtedly terrible.
