Rise From Eight Hundred

However, although the independent battalion was formed a short time ago and the belief that ensures a firm fighting will has not been cultivated in time, they have a trait that the Japanese army does not have.

They are all soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead bodies.

Whether it is Zhao Daqiang who fought in Songhu with the 26th Division, or the veterans of the Four-line Camp who fought in Songhu with the 88th Division for two months, or the soldiers of the Songjiang Security Corps who experienced the battlefields of Songjiang and Jiashan, without exception, they are all soldiers who have fought against the Japanese army in a disadvantaged battlefield and finally survived.

There are planes laying eggs on their heads, and heavy artillery is constantly bombarding. They watched their comrades being blown to death and shattered around them one by one, but they couldn't cry weakly. They had to hold the guns in their hands tightly. As long as they didn't die, they had to continue fighting.

The most terrifying thing is that this cycle of life and death seems to have no end.

They kept retreating, and the Japanese kept advancing, giving people an illusion that they would die sooner or later.

Under the psychological pressure of whether they can survive today as soon as they open their eyes every day, normal people will become crazy. .

But these people are not crazy! Their psychology is constantly tempered in such a furnace with life as raw material, just like a piece of pig iron, which is forged into fine steel.

In terms of stress resistance alone, they are stronger than the so-called "steel army" of the Japanese.

If the Japanese infantry led by Ozawa Risei is really a piece of steel, then the officers and soldiers of the 4th Company can be called diamonds, and their hardness is at least two levels higher.

Faced with the toughness of the Japanese army, they were surprised, but no one panicked. They continued to follow the command of the platoon leaders and squad leaders, desperately venting firepower and suppressing the Japanese army to death.

You are not afraid of death, we are not afraid of wasting bullets!

Then the battlefield evolved into a situation where the Japanese army, who were intimidated by the Molotov cocktails, dared not charge regardless of the consequences, but did not leave, trying to find a way up the mountain on the hillside.

Seeing that the Japanese army did not collapse as quickly as expected, Zhao Daqiang, who had given up his desire for a quick victory, changed his tactics, maintaining fire suppression, pressing the Japanese army into the fire or on the mountain road, and then concentrating heavy firepower to eliminate the Japanese army that resisted the most stubbornly.

When the number of people was reduced to a certain level, they would be killed in one fell swoop.

Anyway, the Japanese army could not throw melon grenades on the mountain ridge that was more than 20 meters high and more than 30 meters away. The only Japanese grenade launcher that could threaten them could not form a continuous throw. The ten precision shooters who were ordered to lurk in various places were always looking for their traces.

As for the Japanese army's Taisho 11 light machine guns, without the use of mortars, the 10 light machine guns on the mountain alone could smash the Japanese machine guns with a bracket of 30 centimeters, which forced the shooter to expose most of the upper body, into slag.

There are many Japanese weapons with good performance, such as grenade launchers and Type 38 rifles. These captured weapons will make the commanders very happy, but the commanders don’t even bother to look at the Taisho 11 light machine guns or the Nambu pistols. The officers and soldiers of the independent battalion who have seen the world also look at them with disgust.

That is to say, the artillerymen are basically not equipped with rifles, and can only wear a Nambu pistol for show. As long as it doesn’t jam, it can still protect itself within 30 meters.

The Taisho 11 light machine guns, which are both delicate and put the shooter in danger, were completely abandoned by the independent battalion. They were all taken by Tang Dao to the 128th Division Commander Gu as a favor.

The officers and soldiers of the 4th Company, who have at least one-level superior performance and more Czech light machine guns, are naturally not afraid of the Japanese light machine gun firepower points.

The figures of the imperial infantry who kept falling down made the eyes of the Japanese infantry captain full of despair. At this time, rather than saying that he was mourning the death of the rabbit, it was better to feel that the noose in the hands of the Chinese was tightening.

Ozawa Risuo certainly knew the opponent's plan. The Chinese consumed only ammunition and patience, while he consumed human lives, which was a completely unequal consumption.

However, apart from constantly driving soldiers into the battlefield to shoot at the Chinese and then die, there was no way to crack it.

After the war, after counting, the 4th company's two heavy machine guns and 10 light machine guns plus 12 submachine guns, Mauser pistols and rifles fired a total of 20,000 rounds of bullets.

On average, each person fired nearly 70 rounds of bullets, which may not be a great number for Western armies equipped with a large number of automatic firearms, but for the battlefield in the East, this is almost the ceiling level.

The Japanese Army is already the strongest army in the East. In each battle, a single soldier will be equipped with 120 rounds of ammunition, a light machine gun can have 1,000 spare rounds, and a heavy machine gun can even have 5,000 rounds, which is the amount of ammunition that makes all Chinese soldiers drool.

You know, for the army in the mountains that just wore the blue sky and white sun emblem, each soldier could be equipped with 20 bullets in a big battle, which was the dream of the soldiers.

This may be the record of a Chinese infantry company-level unit firing the most bullets in this large-scale battle that lasted for several months.

In fact, the Japanese army was far behind.

Even Tang Dao, who equipped them with a large amount of ammunition before the war, couldn't help but cursed after hearing the report given to him by Zhuang Shisan: "Damn it, Zhao Daqiang, this prodigal son!"

As a battalion commander, at most he just thought that even if he couldn't live like this, he would kill these Japanese, but he still had to live.

Just like the explosive packs thrown by the ‘unscrupulous cannon’, he finally ordered Zhuang Shisan to keep 150 of them. It was not that he did not have the courage to risk everything, but that Tong Yi and Leng Feng were still in Qinglongling Village, and he had to leave a trump card to rescue them.

But Zhao Daqiang was really unbearable, and he used bullets to win the victory.

The terrible firepower output was exchanged for a large number of casualties in the Japanese army.

A complete infantry squadron plus a baggage team of nearly 100 people, with a total strength of more than 290 Japanese troops, in this battlefield of ‘rich firepower coverage’ led by Lieutenant Zhao Daqiang, the number of Japanese troops who could retreat would never exceed 80.

In other words, a reorganized infantry squadron was reimbursed by 20,000 bullets, 300 grenades and 140 Molotov cocktails.

In this fire suppression battle, the 4th Company only lost 3 people and injured 8 people, most of whom were slightly injured. There were even two wounded soldiers who slipped and fell when they were transferring positions on the mountain. The blood on their faces scratched by sharp stones looked scary, but it did not affect their combat effectiveness at all.

The casualty ratio of more than 20 to 1 is probably only comparable to the battle of Sihangyi.

As the commander of this battle, Zhao Daqiang smiled.

Unless the earth dragon turned over at this moment and buried everyone in the mountain, otherwise, he would definitely win this battle.

However, the 80-man Japanese army only had two infantry squads, and they had no heavy weapons.

Yes, the grenade launchers owned by the Japanese army had not flown up the mountain since two minutes before the Japanese army began to withdraw from the hillside.

The ten carefully selected precision shooters played a huge role. Although each of them fired at most ten bullets, their record was embarrassing for all machine gunners.

Almost all the grenade launchers and most of the Japanese machine gunners died under their cold guns.

Ozawa Risou is still alive.

As the highest commander, he has the privilege of hiding in the back and giving orders without charging in front, and the big rock he chose on the hillside also made it impossible for the Chinese infantry to do anything to him.

But his body is alive, but his heart is almost dead.

Although there are still dozens of people, there are no light machine guns, no grenade launchers, and only Type 38 rifles, plus the Type 14 Nambu pistol in his hand...

Damn, are there still such pure light infantry?

At this moment, his face is the same as that of the army colonel who is still struggling in the valley.

But obviously, this army captain is more miserable, and the opponent he met is a madman.

The madman's superior still has some reservations, but the madman is proving to all Japanese troops that not all Chinese troops are poor.

The highest commander of this unit is the smart son of a local rich man.
