Rise From Eight Hundred

Jiashan frontline headquarters!

"Commander in chief, the artillery shells of the stubborn Japanese are really free. In this short time, at least several hundred rounds have been fired." Lieutenant General Guo, who walked in from the door and dusted himself off, looked a little heavy. "If you are so generous with your money, you can't put heavy troops on the flanks of our army! Do you think we need to mobilize a regiment from the 128th Division over there to support Tang Dao and the others?"

Seeing that the Japanese army's dozens of cannons were so willing to spend their money, the position was filled with smoke in less than ten minutes, and there was no intention of stopping, Lieutenant General Guo, who was as calm as he was, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother Guo, your concern is causing chaos!" Lieutenant General Wu, who had been sitting in the headquarters and carefully watching the map, couldn't help but raise his head and smile when his colleague said this. "What's wrong, you don't have confidence in Tang Dao and his independent battalion!"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that the Eighteenth Division's strength is no less than that of our army. Now it has added an infantry brigade, which has a larger strength. It is not difficult to mobilize an infantry regiment to reinforce its vanguard." Lieutenant General Guo. Shake his head. "If the infantry companies of the Independent Battalion are fighting and are surrounded by a large army of Japanese soldiers, and they are outside the defense line, and if the Japanese soldiers come to the encirclement point for reinforcements, do you think our army will rescue them or not?"

"Haha! My brother Guo! If it were anyone else, even if we were leading a group, I might be as worried as you, but the leader is Tang Dao. How much that kid's cunning is, you and I don't know yet! Only If he takes advantage, then of course someone can take advantage of him, let alone the Japanese." Lieutenant General Wu laughed and handed a note on the table to Lieutenant General Guo. "Look, this is the message he sent five minutes ago."

"The Second Company of our Independent Battalion has defeated one side of the currently besieged Japanese army, and about a hundred Japanese soldiers are still confronting our army in the fields. I decided to launch a general attack on them after implementing five minutes of fire suppression, and must attack them before their reinforcements arrive. Annihilate it!" Lieutenant General Guo picked up the note and read softly, with joy on his face.

"What does this mean? They surrounded an infantry squadron of Japanese troops with just one infantry company and defeated one of them and trapped the rest in the encirclement?"

"That's right!" Lieutenant General Wu nodded with satisfaction. "This kid Tang Dao is really a born soldier. He can be beaten like this in an unprepared encounter. Even when the strength of the troops is almost the same, he still dares to think of a battle of annihilation."

He picked up his pocket watch and looked at it, "I also want to know how he did it. In fifteen minutes, he wiped out an infantry squad of Japanese troops on his frontal position, causing the Japanese troops on his two flanks to completely lose frontal protection. , it’s not impossible to annihilate them all.”

He looked at his colleagues with deep envy, "Brother Guo! Our family doesn't speak the same language, and you also know the family background of my Northeast Army. I will give you the equipment of a full infantry regiment in exchange for What do you think of this brat Tang Dao?"

"Commander, you can't be influenced by that Tang Dao guy. Who can be so generous in poaching people? You know that our 43rd Army only has so many people, so please spare me, Lao Guo!" Lieutenant General Guo was startled. He shook his head like a rattle and refused without even thinking.

If the weapons and equipment are no longer available, they can be bought or returned to Sichuan to raise them, but if the talents are gone, they are gone. This is just like what later generations said in peacetime, wives and cars cannot be loaned out. In times of war, weapons that can kill people A subordinate who can fight is more important than a wife.

"By the way, the meaning of Tang Dao's telegram is that he will resolve the battle within half an hour?" Lieutenant General Guo wisely changed the subject quickly, not giving his partner a chance to continue wielding the hoe.

Knowing that there was nothing he could do, Lieutenant General Wu could only stop entangled in the matter for the time being. He nodded and said: "Yes! Tang Dao means not to give the Japanese reinforcements a chance to rescue. He will fight quickly, but this guy! This A battle was fought, it was like military training, and it was clear that he wanted to stab the Japanese in the heart again before leaving. "

"Training troops?" Lieutenant General Guo was stunned for a moment, then reacted, dissatisfaction welling up in his eyes: "This kid likes to play this kind of counter-tactics, everyone thought he wanted to make more military exploits, who knew He actually wanted to rely on a night attack to temper his newly formed independent battalion, which was too hasty. "

"Hey, Brother Guo, you have a calm temperament, so you naturally focus on stability in everything." Lieutenant General Wu shook his head. "But this time I feel that Tang Dao did the right thing. Some things can be stable, but in this emergency period, we must be urgent.

The Japanese army hates our army to the core, and may take risks to chase after them. Most of his Tang Dao Independent Battalion are elites of our army. The more dangerous the battlefield, the more likely it is that his independent battalion will appear on that battlefield. I won’t want to go back to that time. It's too late to break in.

The battlefield is the best training ground. The independent battalion may lose hundreds of people in this battle, but its combat effectiveness after running in will definitely be a higher level than when it first formed the army.

This long-distance march and night attack on the Japanese artillery positions looked extremely dangerous. In fact, our side took the initiative and could attack when we wanted and retreat when we wanted. On the contrary, it was much safer.

Tang Dao is a chicken thief! "

"Forget it, then I will listen to you, commander-in-chief. I want to see how hard Tang Dao can stab the Japanese with this opportunity of training. If he doesn't annihilate more than 200 enemies, let's see how I treat him when he comes back. It's a crime!" Lieutenant General Guo stopped mentioning sending reinforcements. The expression on his face was serious, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth still betrayed him.

This is typical Chinese modesty, just like a father introducing his son to outsiders, always calling him a dog son, and even scolding himself.

Therefore, no matter how satisfied he is with Tang Dao, as the head of an army, Comrade Lao Guo cannot smile brightly, and that happiness can only be kept in his heart.

As for saying that Tang Dao will be punished if no more than 200 enemies are killed, that is the same as not saying anything!

Tang Dao has already killed nearly 100 people with the second company alone, and is now chasing the remaining 100 people. There are also two infantry companies over there who have also engaged in a firefight with a Japanese infantry squadron. With their equipment and combat effectiveness, if nothing unexpected happens, it is no problem to kill dozens of people.

The main force of the Japanese army is up to 4 kilometers away from Tang Dao and his battle site. When they received the message for help and rushed to it, Tang Dao had already fled with his three infantry companies.

It can only be said that the two commanders who were chatting and laughing in the command center still underestimated Tang Dao.

Tang Dao did not take half an hour as Lieutenant General Guo said to annihilate the Japanese army that was surrounded on three sides and had only one direction to escape.

It only took ten minutes to annihilate most of the Japanese army.

Originally, no matter how disadvantaged the Japanese army was, if Tang Dao did not dare to pay a large number of casualties, they might eventually be defeated, but they would have no problem holding on for another half an hour or forty minutes.

But Tang Dao used the trick that the ancestors of China were tired of playing, surrounding three sides and leaving one side.

Grenade launchers and light and heavy machine guns were gathered on three sides to suppress the Japanese army with firepower. The infantry crawled to more than 40 meters away and threw grenades crazily, making the Japanese army cry out in pain, but did not launch a charge as the Japanese army hoped.

There are some wise men in the Japanese army. They also played this trick under Songjiang City. They attacked from three sides, leaving only a gap that seemed to be a way to escape, waiting for the Chinese defenders in the city to be unable to bear it and escape from the gap. Then, they would no longer have to compete with the solid fortifications and easily kill the Chinese soldiers who fled into the wilderness and had no fighting spirit.

To put it bluntly, this tactic is a psychological contest.

Even if you know that abandoning the current position and escaping from the gap may also mean death, but humans always have a fluke, what if it works?

Staying on the position will sooner or later mean death, but escaping, even if there is little hope, there is still some hope.

Under the continuous attack of grenade throwing, some people in the Japanese army finally couldn't resist the temptation and chose to leave their original positions and move to the gap.

The battle line continued to collapse until a Japanese soldier jumped up and bravely rushed into the darkness, and the remaining Japanese soldiers' fighting spirit was completely gone.

More and more Japanese soldiers ignored the shouts of the sergeant and the squad leader, dragged their guns and fled to the gap.

As for whether they would be severely punished by military discipline if they returned alive, they had to be alive to qualify, which was the simplest truth.

The dozen or so Japanese soldiers who remained strong on the battlefield could no longer pose any threat to the hundreds of Chinese infantrymen who were getting closer and closer.

The sound of the charge horn "tick-tick! tick-tick!" rang again.
