It was the early spring afternoon on February 25, 1938!
The 3rd Company of the 772nd Regiment rushed to the flank of the battlefield with sweat pouring from them. They ran 18 miles along the mountain road in an hour and almost exhausted all their strength.
But they only rested for less than 10 minutes before going into the battlefield!
Of course, their company headquarters took advantage of the company's 10-minute break to observe the battlefield clearly with the company's only telescope on the mountain peaks, and also closed the final escape door for the 2nd Infantry Squadron of the 108th Infantry Regiment.
The commander of the 2nd Infantry Company at the time, known as Zhu Sanhei, saw a scene in his telescope that made him unbelievable!
In the open area at the mouth of the valley, which was the least likely to be used as a blocking position, the Japanese soldiers were left with casualties and mourning everywhere!
Shit-yellow figures lay so numerous in the wild fields on the hillside that the captain of the 386th Brigade, who had been in the army for more than eight years, once thought they were a latent formation of Japanese infantry.
But the straight-line distance from his position to the Japanese infantry area was never more than 300 meters. The German-made 2.5x telescope captured from the former enemy clearly reflected the blood on the Japanese infantry's body into the veteran's eyes!
Those Japanese soldiers lying in the field were all dead!
A flush appeared on Zhu San's dark face.
That was the result of excitement and shock.
If it weren't for the sworn assurances of the four small militiamen, the only people responsible for blocking the attack were four people from Li Dadao and five people from another friendly army. The sporadic shooting on the opposite hillside clearly proved this. This person who had participated in the four
The veteran who had fought against the siege for the first time and climbed over the snowy mountains and across the grassy swamps almost thought that this was the return of the main force of the regiment.
With only 9 people, how could an infantry squadron of Japanese soldiers be reduced to this kind of behavior?
The captain, company commander and instructors at the same level who secretly went up the mountain to observe the battlefield were stunned for at least dozens of seconds.
Comrade Lao Zhu, who took the initiative to downgrade his rank due to the United Anti-Japanese War and appointed a former battalion commander-level cadre as the commander of the first company, knew how capable Li Dadao was.
This is also a very strong characteristic of the 18th Group Army compared with other armies. In the infantry company, the company commander is like a big brother, and the other officers and soldiers are his brothers. The company commander has a good impression of the temperament, character, and level ability of the more than 100 brothers under his command.
Knowing everything, even a recruit who has just joined the army for a month, can place everyone in the most appropriate position, thereby exerting the most powerful combat effectiveness of the infantry company.
This kind of ability is also forced out by years of dealing with powerful enemies. Otherwise, how can an army with only blunderbuss and old guns and a strength of tens of thousands have strong economic strength and a military strength that exceeds its own?
Dozens of times more powerful enemies to defeat for nearly ten years?
The huge pressure also forced out the best grassroots officers and soldiers. They have extremely high ideals and beliefs, and have terrifying execution capabilities that surpass the Japanese army. Only in this way can they make up for the shortcomings of insufficient equipment and soldiers.
This kind of terrifying execution ability has continued for nearly a hundred years, even after acquiring modern equipment.
Li Dadao is a fairly good soldier, brave and tenacious, but he has only been in the army for 2 years, and his marksmanship and individual combat ability can only be considered above average in the entire infantry company.
And this is already extremely rare.
You must know that in the 3rd company, veterans who have participated in the Ten Thousand Miles Movement account for nearly half. They are the guarantee of the 3rd company's combat strength. This is why Deputy Commander Wang, who led the main force to participate in the Battle of Dongyangguan, can rest assured that the rear area will be handed over to the 3rd company.
s reason.
The 3rd Company is not the sharp knife company of the 772nd Regiment, the main company, but it is definitely one of the trustworthy infantry companies. This has been shown by their super strong will to march 18 miles in an hour on the mountain road.
Li Dadao doesn't have this ability, so he can only use the other five friendly troops.
This also reminded Comrade Lao Zhu of a detail mentioned by the four small militiamen. Five friendly soldiers gave Li Dadao and the four flower machine guns as weapons!
Where did this friendly force come from? Is it so strong? The two captain-level officers of the 386 Brigade hiding on the mountain looked at each other silently. Although they didn't speak, the two old comrades who had been in the team for the past three years looked at each other silently.
You can feel the turmoil in the other person's heart.
They all have experience in fighting the Japanese army, not to mention the distant battle, just the battle at Qigen Village on the flank of Niangziguan in October.
In order to avenge the heavy losses of the 771st Regiment, the 129th Division headquarters formulated an ambush plan. The commander of the 386th Brigade personally arrived at the scene to take command. Half of the main force of the 772nd Regiment participated in the ambush, while the other half of the main force was on the periphery of the battlefield to block and reinforce the Japanese invaders.
The 772nd Regiment can be said to be an elite force, but their opponent is an infantry squadron and a baggage team, with a total strength of only 400 people.
The final outcome was gratifying. More than 300 Japanese invaders were annihilated, with no more than 20 casualties. It was definitely a great victory.
But the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is still formidable, because it is also a narrow mountain road, and the Japanese army's firepower cannot be deployed at all. Most of them are heavy troops, and the time and place are not favorable for them. But that's it, a Japanese army responsible for covering
They still fought their way out of the battlefield, making the division's plan to annihilate them all come to nothing.
The fighting power of the Japanese army reminded these once invincible soldiers that the enemies they now faced were much stronger than those opponents who had no strong will to fight and were defeated in a rush.
The tactical policy formulated by the division commander and political commissar from the very beginning of ‘not to fight head-on with the enemy in big battles, but to use the advantages of the terrain to fight flexibly and in a piecemeal manner’ is extremely correct!
This point was already the consensus of the entire 129th Division as early as March ago!
But now this battlefield scene appeared in front of the two 386th Brigade officers in an almost subversive manner.
In future terms, this really destroys the outlook on life!
Is this because the Japanese are too scumbag? Or are their friendly forces too strong?
"The militiamen who reported the news said that the man they came with was an Army colonel. Li Dadao also personally checked the letter of appointment! Is it true that the main force under his command has come for reinforcements?" The instructor licked his lips that were dry and chapped from running so fast.
A difficult guess.
Apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other reason to explain the scene before him.
"If it was their main force, then why would they need to block it in this terrain? Li Dadao was very familiar with the terrain here, otherwise he wouldn't have taken them to Yingtou Stream. Let alone the main force, he only needed to give them an infantry company to climb up
On the top of the mountain, just with a grenade, you can blow up this infantry squadron so much that their mother doesn't even recognize them." Zhu Sanhei shook his head, with a determined light in his eyes.
"However, no matter how many friendly troops come from afar, this situation is truly once-in-a-lifetime! The key to annihilating this group of Japanese invaders lies with the more than 100 of us."
Zhu Sanhei is of course not his real name. Ever since his squad leader took over the gun from the sacrificed platoon leader during the Ten Thousand Miles Movement and became a junior officer, he has been leading the charge in five consecutive battles, leading less than 20 comrades under his command.
, fighting a bloody path for the whole company and even the whole battalion, earned the nickname!
The so-called three blacks, one is a black face, which is given by parents, no one can change it; the other is black hands, never show mercy when facing the enemy, there is no bullet in the gun, and he goes into battle with a machete.
When charging, his men will never survive; but the most important thing is the black heart.
It's not that this person has a black heart towards himself, but towards the enemy. This person has always been bold when facing the enemy. If he doesn't fight, he will kill his opponent. If he does, he will kill his opponent. This person has a black heart, and he is still against a captured enemy battalion commander.
His evaluation!
"What kind of compassion do we need for our enemies? I want this evil heart!" This was Zhu Sanhei's reply with a laugh after hearing the comments from his opponents in the enemy camp.
For a long time, everyone remembered Zhu Sanhei, but they forgot his real name. Even the famous Brigadier Chen came to the 772nd Regiment and when he met him and shook hands, he called him by his first name Zhu Sanhei.
At this moment, the veteran of the 386th Brigade made one of the most correct decisions in his life.
The 3rd company did not participate in the battle at the entrance of the valley, and used all its strength to block the valley and cut off the retreat of the Japanese infantry squadron.
This was not a tactic formulated by the veteran after discussing with Tang Dao, but a judgment he made based on Tang Dao's battlefield selection and the current battlefield situation.
Eight years of experience as a soldier allowed him to understand Tang Dao's intention. Tang Dao abandoned the 500-meter passage in Yingtou Stream to conduct an ambush.
The gate of hell.
As long as the Japanese army retreats in the face of difficulties and retreats into this dead-end road, it will be their final death.
Because, the MG34 moving forward to the Kuroko position will become a nightmare for all Japanese troops trying to return.
Even now, Kuroko's MG34 still hasn't fired at full strength, leaving a full 500 rounds of ammunition, just for this moment.
Unable to return to the valley entrance, they had no choice but to retreat along the 500-meter road. But could they really make it?
As long as an infantry platoon is placed on the other side and blocked with two machine guns and twenty rifles, the Japanese army can be beaten into a sieve even if all the Japanese troops wear steel armor.
However, all this requires the reinforcement commander to have enough courage and wisdom.
Except for the Fourth Line Regiment, there is no mention of the company-level unit that attempted to encircle and annihilate a Japanese infantry squadron with a strength larger than theirs in a field situation.
Fortunately, Tang Dao met a friendly commander who was worthy of his trust. After observing the battlefield, he quickly changed the original support and interception tactics to the tactics of encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese army, forming a perfect closed loop of Tang Dao's annihilation tactics.
After four consecutive attempts to occupy both wings in vain, the three Japanese second lieutenants were already dejected. No matter how much they didn't want to admit it, they all knew that they were defeated in today's battle.
They have racked their brains and come up with various tactical arrangements. At one point, they even gave up the high ground on both wings and chose to attack in a straight line, willing to completely expose themselves to the sight of the opponent's sharpshooters; the imperial infantry under their command were not brave enough.
, faced with almost death tactics, there was still an infantry squad that bravely executed it.
The attack method divided into three directions almost allowed them to succeed.
After all, the Chinese only have two rifles, one machine gun and two grenade launchers. No matter how powerful and accurate their firepower is, they still suffer from too few manpower.
At least 10 infantrymen have entered within 150 meters of the Chinese position. As long as they advance another 100 meters, they can enter the distance where the brave imperial infantry can throw grenades.
By then, no matter how precise the Chinese marksmanship is, they will be lost in the stormy waves of grenades flying like raindrops.
However, the sudden appearance of a four-barrel continuous-fire automatic firearm kicked the newly heated hearts of the three Japanese Army lieutenants into the cold abyss.
Damn the Germans!
The Germanic people thousands of miles away probably never dreamed that they were still working hard to farm at this moment, and they were cursed from the far east without even showing their fangs to Europe!
This may be the legendary example of being shot while lying down!
Who allowed them to make such a submachine gun with excellent performance? What's more terrible is that the Chinese are equipped with it, but the Japanese are not.
The Japanese Army infantry, which is said to rely on accurate shooting to determine the outcome of the battlefield, became a tragedy in the face of the pouring bullets!
Li Dadao and the others definitely didn't make random moves. The officers and soldiers of the 18th Group, who have always been very economical, had no habit of wasting money from the moment they were born, whether it was food or ammunition!
The 'poor man' mentality makes them cherish every bullet, and destroying an enemy with one bullet is a concept engraved in their genes.
But they are rookies with submachine guns in their hands!
Because they have never used submachine guns!
But they are still veterans and can still control the muzzle beat very well, but they cannot control the firepower output.
The MP28's excellent continuous fire capability meant that the four superior soldiers were destined to rain down bullets the moment they turned off the continuous fire safety.
In the first wave alone, the four soldiers fired 40 bullets crazily because the Japanese infantry were too close to them. Their instinct told them that they must suppress the Japanese, otherwise the entire blocking position would collapse!
If the distance was increased, the Japanese infantry could have beaten these four Chinese soldiers at a distance of 200 meters, but unfortunately the distance was now 120 meters.
The crazy rain of bullets makes precision shooting a big joke!
Three submachine guns and a shell gun fired 400 rounds of ammunition in less than 5 minutes.
If this were the 3rd company with four soldiers, it would be almost the firepower output of the entire company in one minute, but at this moment, it was a masterpiece completed by four soldiers.
Among the Japanese infantrymen who rushed over, 5 were killed and 3 were injured. 4 of them were injured in the crazy shooting of four 386 brigade soldiers. The other 4 were either shot by Shen Laoliu who turned his gun to point at them, or were supported by support.
Kill their sunspots with short bursts of fire.
Only two Japanese infantrymen were able to escape from this battlefield!
At this time, the 2nd Infantry Squadron, including the 1st Squadron who was caught off guard and received a sap blow, had suffered more than 80 casualties on the battlefield. This was an ending that shocked everyone.
Because, this time, they were covered by five light machine guns and five grenade launchers, and they still had a tactical attack, but they still suffered a total of nearly 50 casualties.
The opponent would never have more than 10 troops. This was the conclusion reached by the three Japanese Army second lieutenants who were mourning their concubines at the end of the war.
But it happened that the Chinese, who were less than an infantry squad, killed more than 80 of them, and they had almost no results.
This is definitely a desperate result, but it is not a nightmare, it is reality.
What's even worse is that they can't judge how much the opponent's ammunition stock is. If they want to know the answer, they have to continue to use human lives to fill it, even if they all collectively believe that the opponent's ammunition stock should have been consumed by more than 80%.
But they still flinched!
It's not that they are stingy about the sacrifice of their infantry, but that they all want to live!
80 casualties and more than 100 casualties are completely different battle losses! One will be punished, and the other will inevitably go to a military court. Even idiots know how to choose.
Moreover, now that Hojo Kumiharusa is dead, they can put all the blame on this dead ghost. At the same time, they can also report that they encountered an ambush by the main Chinese force, and thus weave a heroic story of the 2nd Infantry Squadron breaking out of the encirclement.
As for how the main Chinese force came and how the colleagues under his command cooperated, that was all in the future. First, they had to leave here.
From the moment an infantry detachment was left to guard the entrance of the valley, and the remaining 80 or so remnants entered the 500-meter-long road in Yingtou Stream, the three Japanese officers who wanted to live had already brought them and all the Japanese troops on a dangerous road.
return route.
The tactics adopted by Zhu Sanhei were almost exactly the same as Tang Dao had imagined. The sharp knife platoon under the command of the 3rd company assembled three light machine guns from the entire company to defend the mouth of the valley.
The other two infantry platoons climbed up the mountains in the rugged area like apes!
The feeling of shooting below with the cover of rocks is even easier than hunting. Even the prey can shoot from its back.
But one side can throw grenades, while the other side can only run around in the valley. The combat advantages are completely different.
Two infantry platoons carried more than 100 grenades. Just the dropped grenades and the irregular splatter of shrapnel had already caused Japanese soldiers to fall into pools of blood.
This also includes Kanno Shiro who wants to live.
A grenade exploded before it even reached the ground because the fuse burned too fast!
The shrapnel similar to an air burst covered more than 50 square meters. The tragic Japanese Army second lieutenant was hit in the neck by a shrapnel. The severed trachea was a fatal injury, not to mention who has the ability to take care of a person on such a battlefield.
A colleague struggling desperately on the ground, even if he is a second lieutenant.
Three minutes later, the seriously injured Japanese second lieutenant breathed his last.
The last image in his completely gloomy eyes was the figure of his colleagues who bravely charged at the mouth of the valley and then receded like the tide.
"The cherry blossoms in my hometown! I can never see them again!" This was the last cry of Shiro Kanno's heart.
Perhaps, at the last moment of his life, Second Lieutenant Shiro Kanno's intuition as a soldier was overriding him, and he was not the only one who could not see the cherry blossoms in his hometown.
His intuition was correct!
The 2nd Infantry Squadron spent nearly 40 minutes at Taniguchi and suffered more than 80 casualties!
But in the valley, it only took 10 minutes, and more than 50 people were injured or killed!
When the remaining 30 or so people realized that crossing the other side of the valley had become a luxury, and tried to return to the other side of the valley, they discovered that it was also painful despair.
The MG34 with full firepower and 400 rounds of ammunition demonstrated the terrifying power of the future 'Widow Maker' prototype.
Less than 150 Chinese soldiers, with their bravery and wisdom, made the battlefield completely silent after 20 minutes!
The vegetation in China’s Taihang Mountains has new fertilizer!
