At this moment, the whole world suddenly became quiet, entering a physical level of silence. The sound pressure generated by the explosion of 2 tons of TNT explosives has exceeded the limit of the human ear, breaking through the highest value of 194 decibels, with an unrivaled sound. The posture became the only sound in the entire Qiaogou battlefield, and all the remaining noise disappeared, whether it was gunshots or any other sounds, they were all drowned in it.
This is the voice of domination!
Arrogant, majestic, terrifying.
To humans, this is an untouchable and unheard melody.
Explosion waves containing terrifying energy spread through air molecules at a speed of 340 meters per second, and instantly landed in the Ranzhuang area. The Japanese temporary command post, which was about 110 meters away in a straight line from the unknown highland, bore the brunt of the impact. As the highest on the battlefield, The commander Hashimoto Junmasa, as well as Kurayama Harano, including a dozen Japanese soldiers fighting around them, suffered devastating physical blows to their ears.
The funnel-shaped translucent eardrum was perforated and torn, and three extremely sensitive and fragile ossicles were shattered like shaken eggs. The vestibular nerve organ and cochlea located in the inner ear area suffered irreversible permanent damage. Everyone was there. At this moment, I lost my hearing permanently.
But that's not all yet!
As the auditory systems of Hashimoto Junmasa and others were destroyed, the power of the terrifying sound remained undiminished and continued to move forward. It easily broke through the obstacles and entered the brain, impacting the brain like a torrent of turbulent waves.
The brain, which was as fragile as tofu, had no defense against the blast, and was unable to initiate emergency self-rescue measures. In an instant, the brain vibrated at high frequencies, and the brain tissue lost its original structure and turned into a ball of mud.
At the same time, the body's fragile internal organs are also damaged and ruptured, causing extremely serious symptoms of massive bleeding.
The next second, Hashimoto Junmasa and others' vision went dark. Before they could give any instructions or orders, they lost consciousness and slowly fell down.
one.
two.
five.
Japanese soldiers fell down one after another. They were not in the center of the explosion and faced the power of the explosion. They turned into pieces of flesh and blood flying in the sky. However, they fell under the terrifying sound caused by the explosion. There were Japanese soldiers bleeding to death everywhere. .
However, the lethality of explosion sound waves decreases as the distance increases. After reaching 150 meters away, the energy contained in the sound waves drops significantly, returning to the sound pressure level within the range of the human ear, which is approximately equal to about 160 decibels. It can only cause permanent hearing loss in the ears of Japanese soldiers, but it cannot achieve the effect of shattering internal organs.
What is the concept of 2 tons of tnt?
It can be intuitively felt through a simple set of data.
The explosion of 1 kilogram of TNT releases 4.2 million joules of energy, and the explosion of 2000 kilograms of TNT releases a total energy of 8.4 billion joules. According to the 'Richter scale' jointly proposed by American seismologists Charles Francis Richter and Beno Gutenberg in 1935 Earthquake's division method, 8.4 billion joules of energy is equivalent to an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.1 on the Richter scale.
Yes, all the energy released by 2 tons of TNT explosives is equivalent to a man-made earthquake with a magnitude of 3.1 on the Richter scale. It is so terrifying!
The word description of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking is not an exaggeration, but is extremely appropriate and true.
The area with a radius of fifty meters centered on the explosion point is an absolute death area. No Japanese soldier can survive in this area, even if he hides behind a bunker. The shock wave can easily shatter the internal organs of the human body and achieve the lethality of being shocked to death. effect, not to mention high temperature and high pressure links.
At a radius of 50 meters to 150 meters, it belongs to the core killing zone. Shock waves, explosion sounds and countless high-speed debris are like executioners harvesting lives. An ordinary stone is accelerated to 300 meters per second by the explosion. After the speed, the penetration power is exactly the same as that of a metal bullet, and the lethality is even more terrifying, because the stone easily breaks into pieces after entering the human body.
One hundred and fifty meters away, there is the effective killing zone. Shock waves and sound waves are no longer enough to cause fatal wounds. The main force in this area is only high-speed debris, relying on kinetic energy to kill living targets.
As for the distance of the effective killing area, since the detailed data is unknown, it can only be roughly estimated to be 300 meters upwards.
After all, the metal shrapnel of later 155mm high-explosive bombs has a maximum killing distance of 200 meters. For strict perspective, it is slightly increased by 100 meters.
A flaming red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and strong vibrations spread throughout the battlefield. This man-made earthquake with a magnitude of 3.13 on the Richter scale unleashed its energy unbridled. Except for the more than 500 Japanese soldiers on the Laoye Temple Highlands who had been reduced to pieces, there were still 70 or 80 Japanese soldiers. Soldiers were killed by the blast and high-speed debris, and hundreds of others were injured.
In the Ranzhuang battlefield area, the Japanese troops suffered heavy losses and the command system suffered a devastating blow. Many Japanese recruits of the Fifth Division were almost frightened by the explosion on Laoye Temple Heights and completely lost their will to fight.
Facing the normal Chinese army, they were invincible in fighting and could easily penetrate the opponent's positions. However, in one battle, it was obviously abnormal to the extreme!
Terrible machine gun firepower, accurate rifles, raining shells, landmines almost everywhere, and this sudden big explosion.
Amaterasu, is this a normal Chinese army?
of course not!
More than a part of the Japanese recruits lost their will to fight. Even the veterans of the Fifth Division who had participated in many battles also had mental problems.
"It's spectacular, it's really spectacular. I've fought dozens of battles, but this time fighting against the little devils is the most exciting!" A middle-aged man holding an optical telescope at the headquarters at the top of Qiaogou Mountain looked at the scene on the Laoye Temple Highlands, feeling in his heart It was simply more comfortable than eating a piece of ice in the dog days of summer. My body was so excited that I was trembling slightly. I kept my calm face for a long time, and finally showed an uncontrollable smile, and decisively issued the final retreat order: "Send the signal, and the entire division will retreat!"
Although he failed to achieve the combat goal of annihilating the reinforcements of the Japanese Fifth Division due to various reasons, this did not affect his mood at the moment - happy and joyful.
There is nothing happier than seeing the enemy fall into a trap. If there is, it will be that this trap has wiped out five or six hundred little devils at one time!
Is 2 tons of TNT explosive valuable?
Of course it is high. Military explosives are hard to come by. The entire division only has these 2 tons of explosives.
However, exchanging these two tons of explosives for the lives of five or six hundred little devils is an extremely cost-effective deal no matter how you calculate it.
Now, at least 2,000 Japanese troops have been eliminated. Although they have not been able to completely wipe out the Japanese troops and seize supplies, they can still be considered to have achieved the original combat goal of 'blocking Japanese reinforcements'. It is time to retreat.
Blocking the Japanese reinforcements was the original operational goal of the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the total annihilation of the Japanese reinforcements was the operational goal he conceived.
Unfortunately, the former was achieved but the latter was not achieved.
Three dazzling and bright orange flares were fired in the sky, and the final retreat order from the division headquarters spread throughout the Qiaogou battlefield. The three main fighting regiments and the division's mortar battalion immediately executed the order and began to retreat one after another. Basic combat units such as infantry squads and platoons took turns covering each other and evacuated backwards as quickly as possible without any sign of delay.
Confused?
Not sure?
question?
Disobedience on the battlefield?
These things would never have appeared in the ranks of the early Eighth Route Army. As elites in hundreds of battles, every Eighth Route Army soldier would obey the orders of his superiors without hesitation and strictly implement them without any hesitation or hesitation.
Quick and prompt.
Not long after, the division headquarters, engineer battalion and divisional mortar battalion took the lead in withdrawing from the battlefield. The 685th Regiment, which was tasked with blocking the battle in the Ranzhuang area, followed closely with the help of fire suppression from the mortar company and moved to the rear. Finally, Caijiayu The 686th and 687th regiments in the area followed the original retreat route and left Caijiayu under the nose of the Japanese army.
Whether it was the remaining Japanese troops in Ranzhuang or the remaining Japanese troops in Caijiayu, no one dared to do any 'violation' in the face of the retreating main force groups.
interference?
Pursuit?
Sorry, the remaining Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive have no such ideas. Facing this group of enemies with terrifying combat capabilities, who dares to pursue and interfere with them?
In the past, a squadron was comparable to a regiment of the Chinese Army. Now, it is simply unrealistic. They are both regiment-level troops. How can there be such a big gap in combat effectiveness?
At this moment, facing the orderly withdrawal of the regiments of the 115th Division, the remaining Japanese troops in the two areas not only did not pursue them, but on the contrary, they even wanted to hold a farewell party to thank the main regiments for their evacuation.
Although I don’t understand why the other party retreated, but...
Good to retreat!
The opponent's retreat means they survived.
All Japanese soldiers were ordered to stop firing. A sergeant and squad leader held their breath and silently watched the evacuating regiments. They did not dare to act rashly, extremely afraid that these unknown and terrifying enemies would turn around and come back again. The fight started again and they watched quietly until the figures of the troops from each regiment disappeared.
Time passed slowly, and there was absolutely no movement on the battlefield. The smoke was filled, and corpses were everywhere. The corpses of Japanese soldiers wearing Japanese army uniforms were everywhere. These Japanese soldiers who were penetrated by bullets could still leave intact corpses. Considering the entire battlefield, The most miserable unit was the Cangshan Brigade that climbed to that unknown highland.
Hundreds of people were turned into pieces and annihilated by the establishment...
In the blue sky in the distance, the roar of airplanes gradually came.
Hearing the familiar sound of airplanes, the remaining Japanese troops in the two places woke up from a dream and realized that the enemy was really gone. One by one, the Japanese soldiers stood up, looking at the bodies of their fallen companions beside them, recalling what had just happened in their minds. fighting.
Cried!
One Japanese soldier wept with joy, with tears of joy in his almost desperate eyes.
Just when the remaining Japanese troops on the Qiaogou battlefield were congratulating themselves on surviving, the results of this battle were already flying far away via telegraph.
…
"Boss, great victory! Great victory! Great victory for the 115th Division! The Pingxing Guanqiaogou battle ambush killed about 2,200 Japanese troops, destroyed more than 100 cars, and 230 baggage carriages, and successfully completed the task of blocking Japanese reinforcements. Combat target." At the Wutai County Headquarters, the chief of staff came to the war room at almost a sprint speed with emergency electricity in hand, his hands trembling slightly, his eyes full of excitement, and he shouted to the boss as he ran.
Great victory!
A well-deserved victory!
