"Has Xiaoshan mobilized nearly an infantry squadron of Japanese troops?" Tang Dao put down the telescope in his hand and looked at Zhuang Shisan.
"Yes, Captain Yang just sent a telegram. He successfully attracted a small 200 Japanese troops. The two sides are currently in a stalemate. The Japanese side did not launch too fierce an attack because the artillery was successfully involved by the 1st Artillery Battery. Agent
The battle losses of the two engineer platoons of the company and Company Commander Bai were not great! Regiment leader, can you please notify Deputy Gong?" Master Zhuang showed a hint of excitement on his face.
As the four chief officers of the Four Lines Regiment, although Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, three battlefield veterans, and Chief of Staff Zhuang Da are usually focused on logistics and rarely participate in the formulation of tactics, he is at least one of them.
As the head of the staff department, he is also responsible for issuing regimental orders to various ministries, so he still understands the tactics agreed upon by Tang Dao and the others.
What made Chief of Staff Zhuang Da excited was not that Yang Xiaoshan had successfully established a foothold on the flank of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, but that Tang Dao's ambush vanguard could be used.
The reason why the Fourth Army Regiment has not launched a general offensive until now is because they are concerned about the Japanese aircraft and artillery. Now that the aircraft crisis has been resolved, only the Japanese artillery is left.
Tang Dao keeps dispatching troops and generals, isn't it just to mobilize the available troops under Ishiguro Sadzo? Now, the time is finally ripe.
"How far is it from Deputy Gong to the general area of the Japanese artillery?" Tang Dao was also agitated in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Half an hour ago, Deputy Gong Tuan called to report that their lurking area is here! The distance is about 2,000 meters!" Zhuang Shisan pointed at the terrain map with his hand.
"2000 meters?" Tang Dao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then they can enter the charge area in about 10 minutes."
"This battle can only be won, not lost! Although we have made sufficient arrangements, we cannot be completely sure that the Japanese army will mobilize all the infantry. Once more than a hundred Japanese infantry are on guard around the Japanese artillery units, the cavalry will definitely suffer heavy losses. And the cavalry will definitely suffer heavy losses.
The new cavalry company has only been with our Fourth Line Regiment for more than a month. In such a hard battle, we cannot just let their cavalry charge into the formation." Tang Dao said suddenly. "In this way, Lao Zhuang, from now on, you will be fully responsible for the command of the regiment!
"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to Erya: "Go, bring me that warrior's heirloom sword that you picked up on the ground last time. It would be good to chop off the little devil's head with that thing!"
"Tuanzu, where are you going?" Master Zhuang was speechless, with a bad premonition flashing through his heart.
"I'll take Lu Sanjiang to join Deputy Gong and the cavalry company. If you have more men and more horses, you won't have to chop off a few more Japanese dog heads, right?" Tang Dao smiled faintly, took the samurai sword handed over by Erya, and turned around.
Walk.
"Tuanzuo, Tuanzuo, this is the main battlefield! If you leave, how can I, a second-hand swordsman, take charge of the overall situation? Besides, Tuanzuo, you can't keep your word!" Master Zhuang's face turned pale.
He rushed forward and took Tang Dao's arm, almost pleading.
That reluctance to give up is like a young daughter-in-law dragging her newlywed husband to leave soon.
Then you can't pull him! Regardless of his technical and tactical skills, his brains, or his fighting will, Tang Dao is the best choice. No one in the four-line group dissatisfied him, but he also has intolerable shortcomings--
--I especially like to visit the front lines in person.
In the past, the Sihang Battalion only had a hundred troops, and the battalion commander only had to personally participate in the battle. However, when an independent battalion was later established, it already had more than 2,000 troops during the Guangde Battle, and Tang Dao's old problem remained unchanged.
This is too much. Why, the members of the dignified Four Elements regiment are not dead, and they have to be the leader of the regiment and personally go into battle to kill the enemy with a sword!
Of course, this is not a matter of losing face, but that swords and guns are blind on the battlefield. If Tang Dao, the spiritual pillar of the Four Lines Regiment, falls, no matter how many Japanese troops are annihilated, strategically speaking, the Four Lines Regiment will lose.
Already.
Because, except for Tang Dao, who can rely on his extremely powerful personal charm to unite the four elements of the Four Elements Group with complex origins, no one else has this ability.
Therefore, Lei Xiong, Gong Shaoxun, Zhuang Shisan, including the two infantry battalion commanders Guo and Leng, specifically discussed this issue at the Si Xing Regiment military meeting. Faced with the collective "attack" of the top-level backbone of the Si Xing Regiment,
Tang Dao could only make it clear that he would never fight on the front line unless absolutely necessary.
This was also the reason why Zhuang Shisan specifically pointed out the reason for asking Tang Dao to keep his promise after expressing that he had no ability. They were all the leaders of the group, so they couldn't turn around and treat the previous promises as nonsense.
"Lao Zhuang! It's true that the main battlefield is here. You are panicking alone, but there are also Deputy Lei Tuan and Lao Guo! They are both veterans, and the little devils in the encirclement are just panning.
You can eat the cooked food whenever you want, you just need to do the logistical support!" Faced with his chief of staff's reluctance, Tang Dao blinked and comforted. "In addition, you can
Don’t put any blame on me, Tang Dao. When did I say that I would go to the front line to fight in person? I was going to the front line to command in person. The two are in the same position, but they are so different that they cannot be tricked!"
"Holy shit!" Master Zhuang almost spat out the old blood.
How can you be so good at substituting others? Cavalry battles are all done at lightning speed. If you don’t follow them, how can you command? If you follow them, why, the Japanese come at them with a shot, and they kill them without raising a knife.
!Isn’t that just fighting!
Chief of Staff Zhuang Da wanted to refute the serious nonsense of a certain regiment leader, but after all, Tang Dao was the supreme commander, and he was surrounded by staff, communications troops, and guards. Chief of Staff Zhuang Da could not bring down the face of the regiment leader Tang Da.
.
After such a delay, Tang Dao strode away with the knife in hand.
Lu Sanjiang and fifteen cavalry who were specially transferred from the special squadron to serve as guards and communications also trotted to keep up. In addition, Hammer, who had been restless for a long time, was wagging his tail and was so excited that he didn't want to move.
It’s really the same kind of dog as the owner!
Turning around and seeing Erya still there, the somewhat frustrated Chief of Staff Zhuang Da was curious: "Erya, the group has disappeared, why don't you go!"
"Chief of Staff, I just learned to ride a horse not long ago, and I can still trot well, like that kind of cavalry charging into battle. At my level, I probably fell off the horse and fainted within a hundred meters. If I went there, I wouldn't be causing trouble for the commander!" Erya!
Very honest answer.
"The group leader is talking about the command..." Zhuang Shisan replied subconsciously.
Erya pursed her lips and smiled.
Tang Tuanzuo said that he would not kill the enemy in battle, who would believe that!
Even without looking at the 'Hammer', he was shaking his head excitedly, and even the dogs felt his fierce murderous intent.
"The first and second battalions were sent to wait for the military order from the regiment. When the military order was issued, the first and second battalions launched a comprehensive attack on the encircled enemy; in addition, the third battalion was sent to continue to maintain pressure on the Japanese troops in front of them, regardless of ammunition consumption, and must make sure
The Japanese army did not dare to mobilize troops easily, so they told Leng Feng and Li Jijin that the regiment leader took Lu Sanjiang to Deputy Gong. If the Japanese were allowed to mobilize troops to the artillery position, they would know the consequences.
There is no need to be a battalion commander or a company commander. Everyone should divide the ocean and go back to their homes to find their mothers!" Looking at the figure of Tang Dao and others who had already mounted their horses a hundred meters away, Master Zhuang took a look.
He ordered with his back molar teeth.
Don't tell me, without the Tang Dao, Chief of Staff Zhuang Da is pretty much the same now.
After all, this man once served as the commander of the security battalion and also served as the chief of staff for two or three months. His command level may not be enough, but his temperament has been improved.
.
.
.

.
"Brothers, the decisive battle with the Japanese is about to begin. Take advantage of this moment to kill as many of the little devils as you can. The chief of staff also said that there is no need to consider ammunition consumption. Give me the heavy machine gun.
Just shoot a few waves like before! Also, there is no need to hide the mortars, let me fire at the Japs’ machine gun positions!” Leng Feng heard that Tang Dao had gone to the cavalry company, and he immediately knew about Tang Dao.
plan and immediately make corresponding tactical arrangements.
The entire army of the Fourth Army Regiment can have more than 20 mortars, because the first and second battalions were almost strangled with the Japanese army. To avoid accidental damage, they have not been used.
As for the Third Battalion, the Japanese army only charged for two rounds before giving up. There was no need for mortars to participate in the battle. Therefore, from the beginning of the war to the present, the mortar squads hiding 800 meters away from the battlefield have not been able to show off their skills at all.
Chance.
At this moment, one green and two red flares were fired from the Third Battalion's position, and the six mortar squads belonging to the Third Battalion's fire support company were very happy.
As more than 20 heavy machine guns fired fiercely again, six mortars also fired at the area that the artillery observers had already observed.
Rain of bullets and shells once again enveloped the Japanese army's simple field position hundreds of meters away.
"Nani? Are the Chinese concentrating their firepower again?" Ishiguro Sadazou, whose mind was already buzzing, received bad news from the front line again.
After looking into the distance with a telescope for a long time, the livid-faced Japanese army officer really didn't know what kind of medicine the Chinese were selling.
Love reading books
Conventionally, firepower preparations are for the infantry to launch attacks, but feedback from the front line is that the Chinese infantry did not move at all.
In fact, Ishiguro Sadazou was not afraid of the Chinese infantry attacks. He even welcomed them with both hands and feet.
In more than an hour, the remaining hundreds of people of the 3rd Infantry Brigade had already dug simple trenches, and their heavy machine gun squadron was not seriously damaged. Their attack on the Chinese blocking position may have resulted in heavy casualties, but if the Chinese
Come and attack their defense line, they will also let the Chinese people know what it means to be heartbroken!
But the Chinese were simply preparing for firepower, which made Ishiguro Sadazou a little numb!
The Chinese are probably not rich enough to waste ammunition so extravagantly without making any tactical arrangements!
But if not, what are their evil intentions? Ishiguro Sadazou's mind was spinning rapidly, but he still couldn't find the answer, and his computer almost crashed.
If this Chinese Army Major knew that the Chinese Army Major opposite him had the mentality of not being afraid of wasting ammunition and killing every extra one, he might have sprayed a mouthful of blood ten meters away.
It’s so frustrating to fight with a prodigal!
"Order the mountain artillery squadron and the infantry artillery squadron to counterattack the Chinese! Let them know how powerful the Imperial Japanese Army is!" Ishiguro Sadazou, who was puzzled, could only use the most primitive move.
fight back!
Both sides have entered a state similar to that on the main battlefield. If you shoot me once, I will immediately shoot back ten times!
Six infantry cannons and four mountain cannons are definitely powerful on a normal battlefield, but here, the firepower is slightly weak.
The Third Battalion's position was more than 1,000 meters wide and tens of meters deep. Ten artillery pieces simply couldn't take care of it. This didn't even count the artillery squads that were scattered throughout the vast wasteland.
The Japanese artillery fire was weak, but the number of artillery pieces participated in the battle by the Fourth Army Regiment was much greater than theirs.
The 1st Artillery Company received the order to cooperate with the Third Battalion to provide fire coverage to the current Japanese army. Six 150-caliber mortars opened fire, and seven infantry guns were also temporarily used as howitzers. There were also four 75 mountain guns, plus the Third Battalion's
6 mortars, a total of 23 artillery pieces opened fire.
The Chinese and Japanese artillerymen were focused on firing at their respective designated areas. The only people who suffered were the infantrymen on both sides.
Seeing the Japanese artillery retaliation, the Chinese infantrymen hid in the trenches as the heavy machine gun fire died down. The infantrymen all huddled into the trenches early. As long as the unlucky shells did not fall into the trenches, there was no problem in saving their lives.
On the Japanese side, of course, it was the same, they all hid in the trenches.
Perhaps the only difference from the Chinese side is that due to limited time, the deepest trench they sheltered in was only seventy or eighty centimeters. It was no problem to lie down in it and shoot, but it was still a bit difficult to hold their head and curl up with their whole body.
In addition, the intensity of Chinese artillery fire is really far superior to that of the Japanese army.
Not to mention those mortar shells that hit the ground at almost 80 or 90 degrees like flying fireballs, but the terrifying warhead of the 150 mortar weighing 21 kilograms, even if it exploded 5 meters away from the edge of the trench, it was completely
The walls of field trenches dug by a single engineer shovel will collapse to the other side like tofu squeezed by a huge force.
Many Japanese infantrymen hiding in the trenches were squeezed into the soil like sandwich biscuits due to the squeeze of the trench walls, even though they were not exposed to shrapnel or air waves.
Under the terrifying force, it was no longer as simple as vomiting blood. The Japanese infantrymen who were trembling in the air waves and survived had no idea what happened to their unlucky colleagues. However, this scene fell into the battlefield after the war to clean up the battlefield.
In the eyes of the infantrymen of the Fourth Line Regiment.
Some Japanese soldiers were squeezed so that their chests and backs were less than five centimeters thick, and there were meatballs hanging from their wide-open mouths. No one wanted to find out what the meatballs were, mainly because they thought that they might come from the chest cavity.
, everything was squeezed out of the abdominal cavity, which made my hair stand on end.
Of course, in addition to the internal organs in the mouth, there are also many organs that are rushing out of the buttocks. These Japanese corpses have a special characteristic, the buttocks are particularly upturned and bulging...
There were also some Japanese soldiers who had no human appearance at all. The steel helmets they wore were still there, but they were wrinkled as if they had been rubbed by a giant hand.
The helmet is like this, let alone the meat head inside the helmet!
Not to mention the fishy smell, you can smell it from a long distance away.
Seeing this scene, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment could not help but vomit, especially the seventh and eighth companies. They did not need to be reminded by their officers to dig trenches in the future. The width of the trenches was 1.5 to 2 meters, not to mention some.
Key parts are also specially reinforced with thick wooden boards. No matter how tiring it is, no one has ever complained about ensuring the quality of the trenches.
Really, the scene where the Japanese were squeezed to death by the huge force of the shells was so impressive.
The Chinese and Japanese artillerymen spared no expense to vent their anger on the other side's infantry. However, a thousand meters away from the battlefield, Tang Dao had already joined Gong Shaoxun, who was leading the cavalry company and was walking slowly over.
Seeing that Tang Dao was really coming, Gong Shaoxun quickly urged the horses to come over.
Both sides did not salute. In order to ensure that they would not be targeted by cold-blooded Japanese gunmen, all the officers, including Tang Dao, even tore off their rank badges and put them in their pockets.
"Team leader, this battle is dangerous! I can lead the team myself." Gong Shaoxun didn't talk as much nonsense as Master Zhuang, and got straight to the point with a serious face.
"Brother, you can go, and so can I!" Tang Dao's answer was simple.
Riding on his horse, Tang Dao turned his attention to the more than a hundred cavalrymen behind Gong Shaoxun. His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.
"Brothers of the cavalry company, this battlefield of our cavalry company is the final blow to the Japanese army. Only by killing the Japanese artillery can our first and second battalions launch a final decisive battle against the Japanese army in the encirclement without any scruples!
And I, Tang Dao, am both the leader of the Four Lines Regiment and a soldier of the Four Lines Regiment, so here I am! Brothers, can you accompany me and pull out the last fang of the Japanese invaders?"
The officers and soldiers of the cavalry company looked at their unfamiliar but familiar commander, and for a moment they didn't know how to answer.
Unfamiliar because the cavalry company has just been with the Sixings Regiment from the 67th Army for a month, and most people have only seen Tang Dao a few times in the Battle of Songjiang. Most people have only seen Tang Dao a few times; familiar, it is naturally one of the heroes of Tang Dao.
The name is like thunder piercing the ears.
However, this was the first time for the cavalry to have the supreme commander charge with them.
You must know that cavalry charging into battle is the most powerful and majestic. In ancient times, it was the trump card in the hands of generals. It rushed through the ranks of infantry and defeated the opponent's will. But now is an era of war dominated by thermal weapons. If the opponent has several machine guns, this is close to
Cavalry No. 200 is very likely to become a living target for the opponent.
The infantry can still take shelter in the trenches, but once the cavalry charges, they have no choice but to fight to the death.
Even if the array is sparse, not more than half can survive and rush into the position.
When the cavalry received military orders and entered the battlefield, they were already prepared to die in battle.
And their supreme commander actually stood in front of everyone and asked the cavalry to accompany him, which meant that he had to rush in front of everyone, and the death coefficient in battle was almost 90%.
Therefore, the cavalry hesitated!
"Sir, I'll accompany you!" Gong Shaoxun sighed, drove his horse to the right side of Tang Dao, pulled out the carbine from the gun bag, and raised it high.
Although he had not worked with Tang Dao for a long time, Gong Shaoxun knew Tang Dao's personality and no one could change his decision.
He also knew that the reason why Tang Dao came in person was just to tell him and the cavalry company with practical actions that no matter where you are from, if you come to the Four Lines Regiment, you are my brother Tang Dao, and I, Tang Dao, am willing to die with you!
We are all men, what else is there to say, just do it!
"Sir, I'll accompany you!" Lu Sanjiang drove his horse behind Tang Dao, imitated Gong Shaoxun, pulled out his gun and raised it.
"Sir, I'll accompany you!" the cavalrymen roared as if they were waking up from a dream, and pulled out the carbines from their gun bags and raised them high.
About to enter the battlefield, there are no cheers, no slogans, only the carbine raised high in the hand.
That is the first weapon they will use two hundred meters after entering the charge. At least one bullet will be fired before it is the saber's turn!
The carbine raised high is the cavalry's answer to their regimental commander.
No matter what the road ahead is, we are just going to die together!
