Rise From Eight Hundred

"Bang!" Niu Er fired without hesitation.

The 7.62mm bullet passed through a space of more than 100 meters and exploded a bloody flower on the back of the Japanese signal soldier.

The abundant kinetic energy was not completely blocked by flesh and blood. The somewhat deformed warhead rolled through the Japanese soldier's body to form a flesh-and-blood passage. At the same time, it penetrated the chest and 'smashed' into the working field radio station, creating another hole. Finally, It was stuck inside the field radio.

The electronic light on the field radio flashed crazily, as if to tell its user that I was about to die.

The two Japanese signal soldiers guarding the field radio were stunned.

I'm not worried about my boss rolling on the ground and wailing, but that the equipment is damaged!

Of course, the two Japanese signal soldiers who were sad that the field radio was damaged did not realize at this time that only half of the communications that the honest boy asked them to send to the brigade and regiment headquarters were sent.

"The enemy forces I encountered were roughly equal in strength to our own."

This was a coded message Tanigawa Masanori received from a major-level commander on the front line, and he felt quite relieved.

Whether in North China or Southeast China, the Chinese who lack artillery must rely on troops far higher than the Imperial Army or strong fortifications to compete with the Imperial Army. If placed in a field battle, an infantry brigade would dare to chase a Chinese infantry brigade. It is almost an iron rule that an infantry regiment can fight against a Chinese infantry division.

Perhaps the field offensive and defensive battle of the past two days was an exception, but wasn't that also caused by the lack of artillery in the Imperial Army at night? If the artillery brigade that was stupid enough to get lost could arrive in time, Tanigawa Masanori believed that the Chinese troops would become the dead souls of the imperial infantry.

But now, there is no rumble of artillery, which shows that the Chinese are also pure infantry, and the battlefield in the dark night is destined not to be dominated by artillery.

After frowning and pacing back and forth for a few seconds, Tanigawa Masanori issued a military order that would cause him heartache in the future: "The night attack plan failed, and the entire army returned to standby. The 2nd Battalion of the 23rd Infantry Regiment sent a unit to assist Morita Major Moro. military.

Also, inform the division headquarters of the 18th Division that the Chinese sentries are very alert. The vanguard of our 36th Infantry Brigade's night attack is having a fierce exchange of fire with them four or five kilometers in front of the flank position. Please ask them to confront the Chinese We launched an offensive to contain the enemy's positions to cover the withdrawal of our leading troops. "

Judging from the available information, Tanigawa Masanori's military order is of course quite satisfactory. The Chinese can only resist the attack of the imperial army by staying within fortifications. They are destined to be unable to send out large-scale troops. His three Even if an infantry squadron with enhanced firepower cannot inflict heavy damage on the Chinese because of the darkness, it is still no problem to evacuate after the contact war is over.

The reason why Shinji Morita was chosen as the commander of this night attack was of course Major Shinji Morita's fifteen years of military experience.

Since graduating from the sergeant school, Shinji Morita has been serving in the front-line infantry ranks. From trainee second lieutenant squad leader to captain infantry squadron leader, Morita spent a full ten years, serving as a major infantry battalion captain. In five years, although his promotion was slower than others, it also allowed him to train in the grassroots troops for a long time, and he was Tanigawa Masanori's most trustworthy infantry captain.

What's more, he also sent part of an infantry brigade to respond.

That was the infantry brigade commanded by Shinji Morita. Naturally, no one dared not try their best to support his brigade captain.

As for the telegram to the 18th Division, it was just a routine notification. Since the tactical plan for the night attack was ruined, Ushijima Sadao would definitely not be stupid enough to take the initiative to trouble the Chinese on the defense line. Tanigawa Masanori did not report it at all. That hope. Even if the 18th Division does not launch an attack, can the main force of the Chinese break out of the defense line or what?

Indeed, Ushijima Sadao almost had a heart attack after receiving Tanigawa Masanori's telegram. Seven or eight cobblers gathered together to discuss the tactical plan for two or three hours. How could he go bankrupt so easily?

His first suspicion was whether the bastards of the 36th Infantry Brigade did this on purpose and had no intention of carrying out his military orders. Maybe they took the initiative to let the Chinese find out.

Just like that, you still want him to attack? Contain the main force of the Chinese? Ushijima Sadao, who was furious, could not wait for a large wave of Chinese to rush out from the opposite side and swallow up all those bastards from the 36th Infantry Brigade who did not respect military orders.

Of course, don't even think about taking the initiative to attack, but you still have to do it.

For a time, flares in front of the defense line were flying all over the sky, illuminating the positions of both sides as if they were in daylight. Artillery fire that had been prepared poured into the Jiashan defense line.

On the other side, the Jiashan Defense Line Command Headquarters had made preparations early. The soldiers entered the front-line trenches and hid in the artillery holes, waiting for their own artillery to speak first.

But what surprised them was that before they even started fighting, the Japanese launched an artillery attack first.

Perhaps only the two army lieutenant generals at the headquarters knew what happened. Tang Dao's night attack plan went bankrupt, and he was now fighting in the field with a Japanese army that also had the same purpose of night attack.

However, the two Chinese commanders knew the latest battle situation. The Japanese army should have arrived with hundreds of people. Because they wanted to conduct a sneak attack, they did not bring artillery. Most of them were light firearms. They had an independent heavy mortar battalion. It shouldn't be a big problem for the battalion to solve them.

The only worry is that the Japanese army will send reinforcements later. For this reason, the independent battalion's special agent company cavalry platoon has sent several elite cavalry teams to venture into the wilderness for reconnaissance.

"Hold the main force of the Japanese army! Eat up these bold Japanese army!" The two Chinese commanders made a quick decision.

It is impolite not to reciprocate. Dozens of Chinese artillery pieces retaliated regardless. Although the density was not enough due to the drastic reduction in the reserve of artillery shells, it also showed an attitude. If you want to do it, come on!

The main forces of tens of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops fought an artillery battle without deploying a single infantryman on this night because the commanders of both sides made the same night attack plan.

The infantry battle was actually handed over to two small-scale Chinese and Japanese infantry on the flank battlefield with a total of no more than 2,000 people.

Tang Dao was of course very happy.

Although the three infantry companies that arrived at the front line had less than 500 people, he had a complete fire support force and a heavy mortar battalion. This was the first time that Tang Dao had crushed the opponent with both light and heavy firepower since the war against Japan. In such a battle, of course, as many as possible.

If you are poor, you can make detours, and if you are rich, you can bomb me! The three infantry companies of the independent battalion adopted this tactic at the same time.

Don't underestimate the two mortars hiding at the farthest point. They are the biggest killers on the battlefield at this time. No matter whether it is a light or heavy machine gun or a grenade launcher, they are not their enemies.

And the precision shooters set up by Tang Dao in each infantry squad also showed dazzling combat power in this battle.

The precision shooters of each infantry squad have been given the right to fight freely from the beginning. Their targets include low-level Japanese officers, machine gun shooters, and grenade launchers.

The Japanese army that lost the commanding heights was suppressed by several firepower points on the top of the hill, which made the farthest distance between the two sides of the battle only 200 meters. Such a distance is not very difficult for the precision shooters who have been strictly selected in each squad.

They can lie in the grass nest for several minutes without firing a shot. Whenever they fire a shot, it must be a valuable target that falls on the street.

In less than ten minutes of shooting, the Japanese army on the battlefield where the second company was located lost at least six grenade launchers, seven or eight machine gun shooters, and five or six squad leader-level officers. Sixty percent of them died from cold guns.

Therefore, Morita Shinji, who gradually realized the truth, was about to cry.

The Chinese are too unethical.

With the same number of troops as him, they not only wanted to surround him, but also wanted to wear him down and kill him!

I still have reinforcements behind me! It was this reason that allowed the somewhat anxious Morita Shinji to try his best to remain calm. He strictly ordered his subordinates to stick to their positions and did not launch a counterattack to demonstrate the samurai spirit of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Little did they know that it was this slightly conservative tactic that caused the original infantry squadron, which was strong and powerful, to be continuously weakened in the siege of the second company.

It was like a strong middle-aged man who was constantly harassed by the virus but chose to use his own resistance to hard steel, and finally became terminally ill and incurable.

When all his firepower points were killed and only pure infantry were left, the row on the top of the hill would suppress the infantry with the heavy machine gun of the fire support platoon as the main force and the light machine guns of the four infantry squads as the auxiliary force, and then approach the distance of the battle between the two sides.

The attack range of the four long-handled grenades carried by more than 40 infantrymen can reach up to 40 meters, far exceeding the 30-meter attack range of the melon-shaped grenades equipped by the Japanese infantry.
