The Japanese army that entered the forest on the left flank of Position 2 was actually not just one infantry squadron, but five full infantry squads, totaling more than 260 people.
The same is true in the mountains and forests on the right wing of Highland No. 3, one kilometer away. There are also five full infantry squads.:.
Kunizaki had high hopes for these 10 infantry teams.
But obviously, he was disappointed.
Not only did Tang Dao leave the seeds for his future formation of mountain special forces in the mountains and forests, Guo Shouzhi and Zhuang Shisan, who were in charge of the headquarters, fought fiercely in the mountains and forests on the left and right wings, killing Li Jijin's Second Company and Qian Da.
Zhu's three companies were also sent to the battlefield.
Although the military strength is still slightly inferior to that of the Japanese army, due to the assistance of the special operations team, or more precisely, the large number of infantry that restrained the Japanese army, the special operations team, which is better at lurking, was able to flex its muscles.
The losses of the Japanese troops in the mountains and forests were much greater than they imagined. In the evening, after the Japanese troops finally withdrew from the mountains and forests, they took inventory and reported it to the headquarters. Kunizaki was stunned and almost fainted the Japanese major general.
The Japanese army as a whole was beaten in half.
Especially the Japanese troops in the mountains and forests on the left side of Highland No. 2. Of the five infantry squads, only two of them came back alive. To describe them as miserable is a compliment.
Kunizaki, who was busy with his busy schedule, personally asked the three second lieutenant infantry squad leaders who came back alive, because the major general captain really couldn't figure out a problem. He didn't encounter a large-scale artillery bombardment or a large-scale raid by the Chinese defenders.
How did they achieve such an achievement without having to conquer a fortress that was easy to defend but difficult to attack?
If he knew that Tang Dao was worried about the fighting situation in the three highlands and left early, otherwise, with Tang Dao's strength, I am afraid that if the more than 100 people who returned had to fight in half, the Japanese Army Major General would definitely be unable to sleep at night.
That's what a sniper is for.
Without the Tang Dao, there was still Niu Er in the forest who had the heart of a warrior. Throughout the day, he almost copied the Tang Dao perfectly.
No one has a detailed count of the Japanese soldiers who died under his gun. They only know that the handle of the shell gun inserted in Kuroko's waist is covered with scratches of varying lengths.
Kuroko's MG34 machine gun is also a nightmare for the Japanese army. It seems to be an ammunition depot that never runs out of bullets. Any Japanese soldier who attempts to attack the cold gunner who finally finds the location will be killed by this ferocious ammunition depot that stays near him.
'Drown with bullets.
What's even worse is that in addition to protection, there is also protection. An accurate grenade shooter is also hiding nearby. If he throws several consecutive rounds of grenades, he will blow the grenade shooter or machine gunner hiding behind the rocks into pieces.
And when they finally surrounded them from other sides due to the large number of people, they discovered sadly that a large group of Chinese people were already waiting for them. However, they were only a hundred or ten meters away, and the 38 big lids in their hands could not be touched at all.
It is no match for Chinese submachine guns.
You can only watch the prey that is about to be trapped leave, and then repeat the same thing farther away.
That's a nightmarish tactic that repeats itself over and over again.
At least half of the 140 people lost by the Japanese army were killed by this firepower team. Especially the Chinese who used Second Lieutenant Morimu as a bait before were even more terrifying. In just one hour, they were killed by torture bait.
About ten people.
Cruel, yet extremely efficient.
The Chinese army, on the other hand, is basically in a defensive state. It will only attack when the Japanese army dares to approach. If the Japanese army is far away, it will be left to the special operations team and the precision shooters in their respective infantry squads to shoot, so the casualties will naturally be much smaller.
Throughout the day, no more than fifteen soldiers were killed in the mountains and forests on both wings, and no more than ten soldiers were injured. In terms of casualty rate, it was almost 1:10.
This is definitely a casualty ratio that would make Kunisaki vomit blood.
However, the Japanese army does not know this at this time, and the Chinese side will not publicize it too deliberately, so as not to irritate Kunisaki, the arrogant Japanese major general. If he goes crazy, he will come. I have nothing else, but the more people, the more artillery.
Playing with you, no matter how clever Tang Dao is, he can only numb his claws.
To use a folk saying: a toad catches a frog - it's an ugly flower! But you still can't do anything about it.
Several Japanese second lieutenants reported the tactics they had never encountered before to their detachment leader. Kunizaki, who was accustomed to traditional combat, was stunned when he heard this.
A single soldier, or rather a firepower team, just relied on camouflage, ambush and jaw-droppingly accurate shooting skills to wipe out three of his own infantry squads. How powerful does this have to be?
And if Ushijima was here, he would be much calmer than Kunisaki.
What a fool you are. A dozen or so years ago, a Chinese made my entire infantry brigade jump up and down. Not only did they shoot, but they also fired artillery. With one shot, an entire infantry squad lay in a pool of blood and howled.
!
It's a pity that Mitsuru Ushijima could tell such an extremely shameful thing to an 'outsider' like Kunisaki! Do you really think that the 36th Infantry Brigade, which is still dozens of kilometers away, is walking slowly?
Of course not, it was because the 36th Infantry Brigade had already suffered a chill after experiencing several consecutive defeats. It would never foolishly rush to the front before that army had completely left.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the senior officers and majors from the acting brigade commander on down had already reached a tacit agreement.
Looking at the dejected faces of his subordinates, Kunizaki knew with a start that the pride of the Imperial Army had been peeled away from his subordinates' hearts bit by bit by an unknown opponent using cruel facts.
But he had no intention of blaming these subordinates, because on the frontal battlefield under his personal command, the Chinese also gave him unimaginable blows.
His tactics were not ineffective, but the tenacity of the Chinese people exceeded his imagination. He never imagined that the battlefield would look like this.
After being rubbed on the dog's head by his 'master', Li Shoushan was inspired to work hard enough. After launching the first wave of feints and test attacks on Highland No. 3 in front of him, he started the decisive battle mode.
Before this wave of infantry attacked, he used all the heavy firepower at his disposal to bombard the hilltop.
There were a total of 10 infantry guns, 4 mountain guns, 4 105 howitzers, 20 heavy machine guns, and even 24 grenade groups that were close enough to the bottom of the mountain, pouring firepower crazily towards the positions above.
The artillery shooting without any regard for cost has the meaning of not aiming for accurate shots but only for enough shots.
Especially for the four 105 howitzers, one shot will create a crater with a diameter of nearly two meters. Not to mention the people on the position, even on Highland 1, 300 meters away from the side of Highland 3, they can feel the gas of the 105 howitzer shells.
Overflowing searing heat.
The crazy outpouring of firepower lasted for 40 minutes.
The small hilltop of No. 3 Highland was completely shrouded in the smoke of gunfire explosions. Looking from the other two heights, the entire hilltop was completely covered by the rising white smoke, making it completely invisible.
My eyes were once full of green.
Lei Xiong, who was watching silently with a telescope, looked extremely ugly. Although Tang Dao decided on the entire battlefield layout, as the second commander, he had always been a little worried.
Highland No. 3 is the shortcoming of the entire Mouse Mountain position.
It's not that the fortifications are incompetent, but the fighting power of the defenders.
He knew the intention of Tang Dao, because considering the desire of the Avenge Group to avenge their shame, if they were all allowed to serve as auxiliaries, they would definitely be unwilling and even complain. Moreover, the reason why soldiers are called soldiers is
They have the unique pride of soldiers, which is something as precious as life.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Tang Dao finally decided to hand over the entire No. 3 Highland to the defense of the two infantry companies of the Shameless Regiment.
However, he was still worried that compared to the independent battalion, in terms of equipment and the quality of its soldiers, the Sichuan infantry company of the Shame Regiment would be at least three levels worse in combat effectiveness.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese army was so powerful. After a wave of exploratory attacks, they were able to find the weakest positions in the three highlands and immediately entered a decisive battle.
It was Lei Xiong who overestimated Kunizaki and Li Shoushan. It was not that they discovered that Highland 3 was the weakest, but that they were simply pets that were inspired by their owners and waggled their tails more happily.
However, he accidentally found the weakest position of the Mouse Mountain position.
But how weak it is will only be known after fighting.
At this time, Lei Xiong may still have a somewhat condescending mentality as a member of the Royal Forest Army, which cannot be changed overnight.
Only Tang Dao, a little butterfly from the future, knows that there are no so-called no-names in this world, and a steely will can only be sharpened by the flames of war.
