Chiori Momaki has a very artistic name and a very artistic heart.
Chiori Momaki, who was born in a Kyoto earl family, shocked the Kyoto Poetry Society with a modern poem when he was 16 years old. If he were allowed to continue to move forward according to his own wishes, he would probably become a very talented poet, but unfortunately his family
His mission destined him to be unable to linger among the mountains, rivers and fine wines like ordinary literary and artistic young people.
When he was 20 years old, he was sent to the sergeant school by his family. It took him 8 years to grow from a trainee second lieutenant to an army sergeant. This is a very fast promotion for ordinary people, but for a nobleman,
It's considered lagging behind.
This naturally has a lot to do with the mentality of Chiori Momaki, who is not interested in this. After the war started, Army Shaozuo, who was already considered a marginal figure in the family, was not allowed to enter the A-type division to gain promotion faster.
Instead, he became a young Zuo captain in a second-line division such as the 108th Division.
This time, Chiori Momaki was actually very grateful to be personally named by the brigade commander to lead his troops around the Chinese army's rear wing.
Although he is not very interested in military service, it does not mean that Chiori Momaki is unsophisticated. He knows that Kuyeda Shiro is giving him an opportunity to make military exploits, and at the same time, he avoids leading his troops in a hard battle on the front line!
You must know that their opponent is not an ordinary Chinese army, but the Si Xing Regiment, one of the victims of the 108th Division. Whenever they encounter this army, the 108th Division has never retreated unscathed.
A Shaozuo is still a figure in the hearts of ordinary big-headed soldiers, but in the Four Lines Regiment, people don't even bother to take Shaozuo's head as a trophy, because there are too many people killed, and perhaps only people at the level of Dazuo can
It's pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, for this battle, Chiori Momaki still tried his best.
Not only did he take the lead in cutting through the thorns with a machete, he even jumped into the mountain stream and carried wood to build a bridge like ordinary soldiers. It was also stimulated by his selfless spirit that the infantry brigade under his command was able to survive in such terrain.
After spending two days and one night marching more than ten kilometers in the steep mountains, they were about to detour behind Qingshi Rock and encircle the Chinese army.
Once the Chinese troops in the Qingshiyan area are attacked from four directions, the Chinese there will focus on one thing and not the other, and no matter how stubborn the resistance is, it will be in vain!
Magnificent military exploits are right in front of you!
So, on this night, while standing on a mountain ridge and looking at the stars in the sky, Zuo Zuo, a Japanese army officer, became inspired by poetry and recited a poem loudly in his mother tongue.
Translated into Chinese, the general idea is: The stars tonight are so bright, they will become the beacon guiding the imperial warriors to kill the enemy, and the splashed blood will become the most beautiful flowers on the chests of the imperial officers and soldiers...
The literary and artistic Army Shaozuo doesn't know that there is a saying on China's future Internet: Villains often die from talking too much!
The Chinese people don't know how much talent the poem he recited contains, but the Chinese people know that there are Japanese people above their heads.
Strangely enough, the distance will never exceed 40 meters!
Lieutenant Chu Shaoyun, who was leading the team, was sweating on his forehead!
It turned out that although the march was in a strange formation and it was marching in the area where his regiment was stationed, Chu Shaoyun was a lieutenant in the regular army and still formed a scout unit according to military practice.
Tang Tuanzuo’s warning after a tactical class taught by the brigade has always stayed in Chu Shaoyun’s mind: Life is very long and very short. Mistakes and mistakes will accompany everyone in this long and short life. That is ordinary life.
Life is normal. But only the commander who arrives on the battlefield is not qualified and cannot have this normal, because every mistake and mistake he makes must be made up for with the precious lives of his comrades!
So I hope that you, whether you are a battalion commander, company commander, platoon leader or squad leader, will be extremely cautious every time you command a battle!
You, me and our comrades may all die, but we should never die because of our commander’s stupidity!
Because the security platoons have been basically broken up and organized into companies and platoons to serve as grassroots officers, Chu Shaoyun can only mobilize 10 people at most to form a sharp knife squad, which he personally leads. It should be the only regular infantry squad among the 1,300 people.
At this point in time, after traveling all day and night, the two and a half companies finally arrived at Erdaoliang, 3,000 meters away from Qingshiyan, carrying heavy equipment and camping for less than 2 hours.
The so-called Erdaoliang is naturally a landform composed of two mountain ridges!
The two mountain ridge slopes formed by nature's miraculous craftsmanship are nearly 80 degrees and almost straight. Except for the yellow sheep, almost no creature can settle on them.
However, there is a convenient path for pedestrians between the two ridges, and between the two straight mountain ridges, there is a relatively gentle hillside of more than 250 meters. The thick bushes on the hillside are nearly one meter deep. Standing at a thousand meters,
Looking from the outside, it looks like a flat grassland sandwiched between two straight mountain ridges. It has become a must-have place for local hunters to hunt pheasants and hares in autumn.
Although the bushes are overgrown with thorns and there are many mosquitoes and flies, there are enough vegetation and large rocks scattered on the hillside to serve as shelters, so even if they are attacked, they will still be able to fight.
Therefore, the light machine gun company, rifle grenade company and an infantry artillery platoon that arrived at Erdaoliang at dusk chose to use this place as a campsite under the strong support of Teacher Xiao He, waiting only to drag the heavy combat artillery and infantry tomorrow.
The companies with artillery arriving gathered together and sent support to the Qingshiyan position.
Those annoying mosquitoes, the militiamen in the army are all natives of the Taihang Mountains, so they naturally have special drugs to dispel them. Without mosquito bites, the tired people can sleep normally for a few hours, recharge their batteries and wait for tomorrow to enter the battlefield.
.
Chu Shaoyun and others, who had scouted for more than 1,500 meters along Erdaoliang, were extremely exhausted, so the 11 people hid in a natural cave formed under a huge rock to take a rest, intending to regain some energy before returning to the campsite.
Unexpectedly, before they even fell asleep, an excited chirping sound came from above their heads, startling all 11 elite soldiers.
Are there Japanese people here? Could they be the legendary Japanese secret service?
Then, along with the low military orders, dull footsteps continued to be heard, and the flashlight light, which was much weakened by the gauze, shone into the eyes of the army lieutenant who quietly looked around.
Groups of Japanese troops crossed over from a low hill in Erdaoliang and entered the relatively low and flat bushes inside Erdaoliang.
"My dear mother! There is at least one Japanese infantry brigade here! Platoon leader, we must quickly notify Director He of their transfer." A sergeant reminded Chu Shaoyun in his ear with his eyes wide open.
The Army sergeant originally belonged to the 67th Army and was a veteran who had experienced the Songjiang War. He had seen all kinds of battlefields, but when he saw a thousand-man Japanese infantry group less than a kilometer away from his own people, his hairs still stood up.
It's not that the combat effectiveness of a Japanese infantry brigade is very strong, but that he doesn't have much confidence in his two and a half years, which are almost composed of students, workers, and militiamen.
Especially under Chu Shaoyun's crazy organization, whether it was a light machine gun company or a grenade company, there were basically no rifles.
For example, a light machine gun has one main shooter, one assistant shooter and one ammunition hand. Among the three, the main shooter is responsible for carrying personal supplies such as the light machine gun and steel helmets weighing 10 kilograms, and the deputy shooter and ammunition hand are responsible for carrying all ammunition.
There are also engineering shovels, food, water and other supplies. During battle, the secondary shooter and ammunition hand must be able to build field fortifications as quickly as possible for the main shooter.
The average weight of each person is more than 15 kilograms. How can there be any extra strength to carry a rifle? For firearms like pistols, three people can only have a Black Star pistol and 2 magazines at most!
To put it bluntly, this 1,300-man pure firepower unit has no close combat capability at all!
"Move?" Chu Shaoyun's face was resolute. "Where to move? And when we ran back to inform, the Japanese had already moved there. There were hundreds of people moving there. Do you think the Japanese were stupid and couldn't see it?
Still can’t hear it?”
"Then what to do? It's not a problem to just wait like this! It will be even more troublesome to be discovered by the Japanese army until dawn!" The Army sergeant's face seemed to be filled with bitterness.
The distance between the two mountains in the two beams was only 250 meters, and the Japanese troops rushing over like locusts took less than a minute to reach them. Just thinking about that scene made this veteran's scalp numb.
"What the hell, fuck him!" Chu Shaoyun almost did not hesitate and gave the order immediately. "Go two people and inform Director Tantai and Director He. While the Japanese army is unaware and their footing is not stable, our light machine gun
The rifle and grenade company used the cover of bushes to advance 700 meters along the second beam, and then concentrated fire. The infantry artillery increased its elevation angle and used a mortar-like shelling mode. The target was opposite our position. As long as the shells were not fired
Throw it on your own people's heads and beat them however you want!
Tell them that there is no need to save ammunition, just shoot forward for me, the main shooter will die, the secondary shooter will take his place, and the secondary shooter will be killed and have ammunition in his hands! In this battle, either the enemy dies or we die!"
As the saying goes, when encountering people on a narrow road, the brave prevails. This is probably the case.
Chu Shaoyun may have made the most correct decision in his life, bar none!
Chiori Momaki, who had just finished reciting the poem passionately and elegantly, never thought that she would encounter Chinese people behind the Chinese positions, and there would be hundreds of Chinese people.
What's even more painful is that there are hundreds of Chinese with up to 100 light machine guns, 120 rifle grenades, and 6 infantry guns.
What about the "heavy" firepower of the Japanese army? Take the Japanese infantry squadron organization as an example. A Japanese infantry squad has 55 soldiers, equipped with 2 grenades and 2 light machine guns. An infantry squadron has 3 infantry squads, that is 6
It has grenade launchers and 6 light machine guns, and the rest are basically rifles and Southern Type 14 pistols.
At this time, Chiori Momaki was a light infantry brigade. In addition to the 3 heavy machine guns that he had brought with him through great hardships, the rest of the heavy machine guns, infantry guns, and mortars were all abandoned!
In other words, the six infantry squadrons led by Chiori Momaki at this time had the firepower of 36 grenades, 36 light machine guns, and hundreds of rifles!
But the most fatal thing is not really the difference between continuous firepower and heavy firepower, but that the Japanese army was completely unaware at this time. They had to march over mountains and ridges and even at night, and the extremely exhausted Japanese army completely lost their vigilance.
Not only did they not send out scouts as usual, they did not even dig field trenches. As more and more people entered the Erdaoliang area, they spread out along Erdaoliang, taking infantry squadrons as units, and randomly
I found an open space, laid out my personal luggage, and planned to fall asleep.
On the hillside between the two beams that were more than 700 meters long, 6 infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squad and an engineer squad poured in. Although it could not be called bustling, it was still very lively.
At this time, the Japanese never dreamed that in the grass on the hillside opposite them, hundreds of people covering their mouths and noses with towels were quietly walking through the bushes with their waists low.
The Si Xing Regiment is not yet equipped with combat boots. Both officers and soldiers basically wear cloth shoes made by fellow villagers. It is this kind of soft-soled cloth shoes that reduces the noise of operations.
Covering your mouth and nose with a towel is also to prevent branches and leaves from touching the mouth and nose, causing coughing and sneezing, which are the human body's instinctive reactions. Many people even chewed sticks at the request of veterans to avoid these.
Although pheasants flew out of the grass from time to time with fluttering wings, this was a normal phenomenon due to the noise made by the Japanese troops on the opposite side.
If Chiori Momoki had not issued a military order, he would never shoot lightly. Maybe the Japanese army had the intention of shooting a few pheasants for a tooth festival.
Although the night was dark, there was no need for the Chinese soldiers to identify the opponent's specific location. The Japanese flashlight looked like bright stars in the sky from more than 200 meters away, and it was the best beacon!
Don't tell me, this actually echoes the poem that Chiori Momaki recited passionately before.
Then, while observing the sky at night, the most romantic Army Major Zuo of the 108th Division saw a spectacle that he would never forget in his life.
The scarlet trajectory was like a surging meteor shower, completely covering up the brilliance of the stars in the night sky, and overwhelmingly smashed into his campsite!
Then, there was the deafening sound of "ta-da-da!" and "boom-boom-boom!"
"Enemy attack!" was still in her throat, and Qianzhi Momoki felt a sharp pain transmitted to her brain nerves.
He looked down in horror. Under the weak firelight, a mass of scarlet was quietly spreading from the military uniform on his chest!
"I was hit? How did the Chinese find me? This is not common sense!" the romantic Japanese poet collapsed.
The sniper kill will never exceed 80 meters. For a veteran like an Army sergeant, it is impossible to miss a vital point like the heart!
As for how to find a young leftist who is full of romanticism, the reason couldn't be simpler. One by one, the Japanese military officers came over and shouted, "Hi!" No matter how low their voices were, the way they lowered their heads fiercely was like
Shaozuo, wearing a steel helmet and an ordinary Japanese infantry uniform, went to Amaterasu to deliver it.
This guy! You really can’t get too high.
From the moment they were covered by the bullet stream, the Japanese lost their supreme commander who was good at reciting poems and composing poems.
The poem "Direction of the Stars" recorded by the captain's staff officer who finally escaped from death has also become a footnote to this battlefield that is considered the most bizarre defeat in the Eastern Shanxi Campaign.
Perhaps, the moment Qianzhi Baihui used the stars as a beacon, the tragedy of these more than 1,400 Japanese soldiers was already doomed.
A bright lantern, or maybe a dark lantern!
Especially when it lights up in the dark, it may be guiding the souls of the dead!
The sudden sound of the Czech-made light machine gun cover up the sound of the Czech semi-automatic rifle that killed the Japanese Army Major Zuo. Several Chinese veterans hiding less than 100 meters in front of the Japanese position killed more than ten Japanese officers.
.
Including a Japanese major left, three Japanese captains and seven Japanese second lieutenants. This is also considered to be one of the reasons for the Japanese army's defeat after the war.
The details of the battle cannot be explained. The exchange of fire between the two sides was so simple that it was outrageous!
Shooting, shooting, shooting!
Neither side had much firepower to test, so they circled around from the left and right wings, right between the narrow mountain ridges, from two hillsides covered with grass and rocks, and fired desperately at each other.
Neither Lao Tantai nor Teacher Xiao He was a professional soldier, but they are both the wisest people in China. Professional matters are left to professionals.
They were determined enough to complete the decision of Chu Shaoyun, the military's top commander. Since they had given everything they had, they didn't want to devote so much to one battle and just empty out the ammunition they carried.
They are a bunch of miscellaneous troops who are completely unqualified to think about the next step or what to do in the future!
Each light machine gun is equipped with 800 rounds of ammunition. 100 rounds is 80,000 rounds. Each rifle grenade is equipped with 50 rounds of ammunition, which is 6,000 rounds. All veterans who serve as squad leaders receive orders to empty all the bullets before they sacrifice themselves.
grenades, and then prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
The so-called hand-to-hand combat naturally involves holding a light machine gun with empty bullets and a Black Star pistol for a three-person team. The military spurs are also distributed to everyone, but there is no rifle to support them. They hold the military spurs in one hand against the Japanese commander.
With a 1.7-meter-long 38-meter rifle, the probability of survival is extremely low.
But that was the final decisive battle order issued by Chu Shaoyun to each company and platoon before departure!
These 1,300 people are the last strength of Dakouzidong Town. Escape will only make the Japanese invaders more rampant, so go die and dye the hills red with blood, making the Japanese pay the price for every step forward!
The more than 1,400 Japanese troops on the other side of the hillside ultimately withstood nearly 70,000 rounds of bullets, more than 5,000 rounds of grenades, and 300 rounds of artillery shells.
At the end of the battle, the exhausted teacher Xiao He directly adjusted the infantry artillery from a thousand meters away to 500 meters, and aimed directly at the grenade grenades that the Japanese army still fired from time to time.
If one round is not enough, then ten rounds. If ten rounds are not enough, then ten more rounds. At least half of the remaining light machine gun positions of the Japanese army were destroyed by their own 70mm infantry cannon.
Don't think that the battlefield is just pitch black. It's all a blind fight. The Japanese army shot up flares into the sky for free in order to survive. Just like the falling stars, the flares illuminated the not-so-wide battlefield in a certain moment.
daytime.
The eyebrows of the soldiers on both sides were extremely clear in the field of view of the 4x telescope. It was simply a legendary face-to-face attack.
At least 20 light machine gun fire groups on the Chinese side were destroyed by the precise bombardment of Japanese grenades, but the Japanese army was not much better.
If more than 5 of the 120 Browning rifle grenades are fired, no Japanese grenade team can escape. Even if they are hiding behind a big rock, a dozen straight-line attack grenades can smash the stone open, and then hide behind it.
The fresh and tender flesh and blood of the Japanese grenadier was sprayed on the originally barren land of the Taihang Mountains and became fertilizer.
The 'miscellaneous army' in front of me has nothing but enough machine guns and grenade launchers!
"All my students have died in the war, now it's up to me, the teacher!"
And when Teacher Xiao He personally took on the role of the main shooter of a light machine gun that had lost three shooters, the famous saying that has been passed down to the future pushed the morale and courage of this motley army to its peak!
The sound of killing shook the sky!
Even if your comrades keep falling!
The bloody battle lasted until early morning!
When an infantry artillery platoon and a combat defense artillery platoon arrived on the battlefield in a hurry, the turbulent fire from more than a dozen newly added artillery made the flares lose their luster.
The rising fireballs made the battlefield as bright as day!
The remaining Japanese troops' psychological defense lines, which were helpless against the heavy firepower, completely collapsed!
After 20 minutes, the battlefield returned to silence!
Of the more than 1,400 light infantrymen under the 108th Division, only more than 300 escaped, and the remaining 1,083 people ended up on the Erdaoliang battlefield 3,000 meters behind Qingshiyan.
That was an accurate number obtained after careful counting of the corpses.
After this battle, the "Miscellaneous Army" stationed in the Fourth Army Regiment became famous in North China!
