Chapter 1093: Super Big Bang (Part I)
The scum-like "dirt eight roads" in his eyes turned out, really, really launched an attack on the infantry brigade.
Moreover, it was after two infantry brigades entered the gorge.
The sound of gunfire from the distant canyon has proved that the "Dirt Eight Road" is hiding on the mountain beam and has begun to attack the imperial warriors in the canyon. The familiar gunshots of the 38 Dagai show that the Imperial warriors are fighting back bravely.
It's just that the appetite of "Dirt Eight Road" is too small! Didn't even wait for the main force of the brigade to enter the gorge before launching an attack?
Of course, they have to have that appetite too. Seeing the signal flares fired by the Chinese army, his face became a little ugly, Yoshio Kamitsuki calmed down a little, and was deeply glad that he was cautious.
He knew too well that it was not that the Chinese did not have a large appetite, but that the two infantry brigades were lined up enough, and if it were not for the fact that there were already infantry squadrons out of the valley to build field fortifications in the valley according to their own military orders to prevent sneak attacks, it would be strange that the "Tubalu" did not wait for him to enter the canyon with this thousand men before launching an attack.
But now, even if more than half of the 2,700 main infantry wings who entered the canyon terrain were at a disadvantage, there were still nearly 4,000 people left outside the canyon, and he also had an infantry and mountain artillery brigade with a semi-infantry brigade. This time, he must kill these bold "Dirt Eight Roads" and the villagers of Shina who dare to cover for them, and Yoshio Kamitsuki, whose eyes instantly became gloomy, still sat firmly on his blue-gray high-headed horse, and ordered sharply: "Order the infantry brigade Lin Nanyi Shaozo who passed through the valley to break through the position of the Shina people with all their strength, and after defeating them, leave an infantry squadron to defend the valley mouth, and the rest of the people will fight back against the enemy in the valley and mountain beams; Ordered Mori Mu Yin City to advance at full speed and pass, not to fight with the enemy troops above the canyon, and the rest of the armies that did not enter the canyon should seize the commanding heights with all their strength and defeat the invading enemy as quickly as possible. โ
I have to say that it will be the courage of soldiers. Yoshio Upper Moon, who did not show a panicked expression, stabilized the hearts of the brigade headquarters with a panicked face.
Even when a row of mortar shells rained down from the mountains and forests hundreds of meters away, and the "boom" blew up the infantry still on the mountain road and hid frantically, the signal corps of the brigade headquarters still methodically conveyed the military orders of His Excellency the Major General and Brigade Commander one by one.
The three infantry squadrons belonging to the 80th Infantry Wing, which followed the brigade headquarters, also frantically climbed the mountains on both sides under the personal command of the 80th Wing Commander Kenji Daisa, Suzuki, and they had to occupy the commanding heights before the Chinese.
Not only to kill the damned China, but more importantly, the mountain road is now no longer possible, the Chinese artillery fire is unexpectedly fierce, more than a dozen or even more mortar shells fall every second, and in just ten seconds, at least dozens of people died under the crazy shells of the Chinese.
Yes, out of the need for concealment, the death battalion, the bayonet battalion, and the 3rd battalion of the 772nd regiment deployed at the end of the canyon, including the guard platoon of the independent regiment, the guard company of the 386th brigade, and the strong battalion of the independent regiment were all hidden in trenches, bushes, or woods 500 meters away from the Japanese troops on the mountain road.
The steep terrain of Taihang Mountain is a good place to condescend and beat people, but it is not a particularly good place for ambushes, the bare mountain beams are too difficult to hide, if the Japanese army is a little cautious and sends sharp soldiers to search along the way, they will find the figure of ambush soldiers.
It can be said that except for the Panshi Battalion, which built the blocking fortifications in the terraces and was responsible for blocking the attack at the valley mouth, the remaining officers and men of the more than 4,000 independent regiments and the 386 brigade could only hide in the mountains and forests far away from the mountain roads, and the farthest distance even reached 800 meters.
When the signal flare of the attack is fired, many of them have to do not shoot the bullet of hatred at the enemy, but run, run desperately, preempt the devil, and occupy the most advantageous attack position.
Of course, not firing a gun does not mean not firing. The bayonet battalion and the death battalion were also equipped with a total of 32 mortars of large and small calibers. Because this time it was not a defensive battle, but an encirclement and annihilation battle, all the mortars of all fire squads and fire platoons were used in a centralized manner, and all battalion headquarters commanded them in a unified manner.
Eight 80 guns and 24 60 guns poured shells from four artillery positions in two directions on the Japanese troops, who had been aiming for at least an hour.
From the moment the shell fell, the face of Major General Yoshio Kamitsuki, who had been helped by his subordinates to dismount and hide in a hollow, became ugly, and he almost didn't greet all the women in the family of Seishiro Itagaki, a lieutenant general of the Imperial Army. Baga, is this the "dirt eight roads" he said with extremely poor equipment? With a density of at least 20 shells per second, you dare to be cheeky and say that people are extremely poorly equipped, what about the face?
If you haven't won, you haven't won, don't be a serious, okay? The eight ga's ones will kill people.
The artillery squadron directly under the 80th Wing, which followed the headquarters of the 80th Infantry Wing, quickly set up the only two 90-caliber mortars to counterattack.
As for the four mountain guns and the four infantry guns, they can only be hehe at present. Not to mention that the horse carrying all the parts of the mountain cannon was so frightened by the sound of the cannon that it couldn't pull the reins, even if the horse was stabilized, the mountain cannon still had time to assemble, and more importantly, it was necessary to find a suitable position for the cannon. Infantry artillery is even more of a, then you have to carry 210 kilograms of iron lumps up the mountain, otherwise, what about playing with stones? Or, use the old high with the muzzle of the cannon as a mortar? The 92 infantry gun has the function of curve fire, but it is not yet all-powerful enough to completely replace the mortar.
In such a mountain battle, the shortcomings of the Japanese army's lack of mortars were exposed, and within at least five minutes, they could almost only be beaten.
The two mortars, which had just fired a few shells and were still in test firing, had not even determined the position of the enemy's artillery, were quickly frightened by the mortar shells that exploded more than 100 meters away from them. More than 100 meters seems to be far away, but for experienced artillerymen, it is the embodiment of being targeted by the opponent's artillery. One moment it may be more than 100 meters away, and the next moment, maybe the shells will rain overhead.
The main force of the Japanese army outside the canyon was being beaten on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was rushing to occupy the commanding heights with the troops of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment.
But the Japanese army in the canyon was not so good.
Although the Japanese army's communications were not as good as those of Europe and the United States, they were much stronger than those of China at this time. Field radios are available at the infantry brigade level. Because of the need to pass through the canyon, the two infantry brigades that had already entered the canyon and the three field radios of the 77th Infantry Wing Headquarters were required to turn on their cameras so that they could report to the rear at any time.
Now, not to mention the brigade commander's military order to speed up, even they themselves have to spread their feet and run away.
I don't run, but it's really ugly.
In this kind of environment, he is still fighting, fighting Nima!
For those who are not immersive, it is estimated that it is difficult to understand the mood of the people in the canyon, including Yoshio himself last month. Only when he personally entered the canyon, it is estimated that he will know that he specially ordered not to fight with the Chinese, which is a complete joke. If you want to say that you must not tremble, it is estimated to be accurate.
This must pass through the Qiqian Village canyon is more than 40 meters high, and if you want to see it from below, you have to tilt your head up, even then, what you see is just a glimmer of sky, even if someone deliberately pokes her head out of it, you can't see it really. So how do you grapple with that? Keep your head up and hold a gun and wait for the Chinese to stick out their heads and let you fight? Is it good to get cervical spondylosis?
With the mentality of the Japanese army in a desperate situation at that time, even if the Chinese did not shoot downward, just throwing stones could kill a large number of people.
It's a pity that they really underestimate the "dirt eight roads" in their eyes.
If they had turned back 30 minutes, they could see nearly a thousand soldiers lurking from the trees in the dawn into the bushes on the ridges, wearing earth-gray military uniforms and gray military caps, in addition to carrying rifles in their hands, both officers and soldiers, without exception, carrying two large earth-gray bags on their chests and behind their chests.
It is estimated that their slightly stereotypical Asian faces will become European faces, with small faces that are white and white, and small eyes that are blue and blue.
It was clearly a bag of explosivesใใใใใใ
If there are two for one person, it is a small explosives bag of 2,000.
Baga, this is going to blow up the mountain!
Of course, the officers and men of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment, who were carrying explosive bags, did not come to blow up the mountains and open mines, they came to blow up people.
Liu Lang bought it from the old man in Shanxi, and the guilty army lieutenant general Comrade Lao Li personally served as an escort officer, and three truckloads of nearly 15 tons were tightly covered with canvas and pulled all the way to Qiqian Village. Nothing else, explosives.
A bag of explosives of nearly 7 kilograms, the baggage soldiers and quartermasters of the independent regiment, specially trained in the loading of explosives bags and grenades, worked for five days without sleep to load 1,900 pieces before the battle. A total of more than 13,800 kilograms, and about 1,000 kilograms of explosives are too late to be loaded.
If you put the officers and men of the two battalions in charge of the long section of the nearly 4,000-meter canyon, it is only a few points of two meters each. Well, if the 5,000-meter canyon is fully allocated, it will never reach 3 meters a.
The officers and men of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment were also assigned a section of a canyon area of more than 1,000 meters in a company unit, and their combat mission was very simple: ignite the explosives bag, throw it down, and then quickly turn over and lie down on the ground on all fours at least five meters away from the canyon to avoid shelling, wait until 30 seconds later, and then ignite the second explosive bag five meters away from themselves, throw it down, and lie down again.
During this period, they will not receive any military orders. Because in everyone's ears, the moment the flare is raised, cotton is already stuffed.
In fact, since the first explosive packet began to explode, no one has been able to hear anything else.
As long as it is a person who is still alive, his ears are full of endless "boom" explosions.
Whether you stuff cotton or not, the terrible explosion will penetrate your ears and make you feel that there is nothing in this world but a violent explosion.
The ground shook and the mountains shook, making the people lying on their stomachs feel that they were above the sea.
The terrible explosion made at least a third of the determined Red soldiers have no chance to throw their second explosive bag according to the military order.
When the sound of a violent explosion at a speed of 340 meters per second took more than a dozen seconds to reach Yoshio Kamitsuki's ears.
The face of the Japanese army major general was as pale as paper in an instant.
