War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 148 Seeking Kindness and Obtaining Kindness (Thanks to 'Book Friend' for the 500-yuan reward!)

In early September, a newly built defensive line was built across the sand dunes in the south of Tongliao with the joint efforts of the 9st Regiment and Xu Chaoyang's company.

There is a large area of ​​yellow sand in this place, which is not covered by green grass. It was not until the city wall was demolished in later generations that this place was included in the urban area of ​​TL, commonly known as Nanshatuozi.

Qianjiadian is on the east side of Tongliao. Looking at the map, behind the stalemate between the Fifth Military Region and Tongliao is the supply line of the Japanese army after it occupied Tongliao.

Xu Chaoyang's task was to share the pressure after Wang Feng lured the enemy, and to attract part of the enemy through firepower to prevent the Japanese troops from rushing out of the south gate of the city to form a pincer attack on the troops led by Wang Feng, while reducing the pressure on the flank defense of the regiment.

To put it bluntly, it means letting Xu Chaoyang hold the corner of the formation to prevent the entire defense line from being disrupted by flanking fire.

"quick!"

"Qu Yong, Yu Minghao, you two, get someone to help Xiucai build the artillery position on the sand dune!"

"Old Chang leads the law enforcement team to the rear!"

"Old Yang? Old Yang!"

Xu Chaoyang was busy in the trenches, issuing orders again and again, and the Oroqen people guarding him passed the orders to each platoon according to the orders.

But after Xu Chaoyang called out Yang Jingyu's name, he didn't hear any response for a long time.

When I turned around, I found that Yang Jingyu was staring at the battlefield and lost in thought.

"Old Yang, why are you sitting here thinking about something instead of going to the various platoons to do pre-war mobilization?"

Yang Jingyu was lying on the edge of the trench, looking at the Tongliao City which was as stable as before. The soldiers beside him were lying on the breastwork of the trench with Type 38 rifles on their heads, motionless.

"Chaoyang, what if the Japanese soldiers from Tongliao leave the city and don't fight with us, but go straight to attack the main defense line of the regiment? Then we have come here for nothing, right? When have we ever fought such a good battle?"

The company was finally supplied. Since Dao Wenbin arrived, even Liu Gen'er got two new Czech-style magazines. Not to mention the others, they basically had enough bullets and boxes of grenades.

Xu Chaoyang glanced at him and asked, "Who has the final say on the war?"

Yang Jingyu smacked his lips in annoyance. "No one is competing with you for the command of the battlefield... I'm talking about the devils."

"Nonsense, I'm talking to you about the Japs. Let me ask you, after the Japs rush out of the city, who has the final say on what happens on the battlefield?"

"Ah?" Yang Jingyu was stunned: "What do you mean? Don't we have to beat that thing to see?"

"fart!"

Xu Chaoyang said with great confidence: "If I didn't have these two skills, would I dare to fight the devils outside Tongliao City?"

"I'm telling you this today. If the fighting starts, the Japanese will either let me mobilize the troops like ours. From now on, everything about our company will be decided by your words, and I won't say a word."

"Is that so?"

"Hurry up and start the pre-war mobilization!"

boom!
Da da da da da!
boom!
As expected, the sound of gunfire came from the east of the city, and a cloud of smoke rose into the sky at a distance that was too far to be seen by the naked eye.

At that moment, Xu Chaoyang stared in the direction of the gunshot and whispered, "He's crazy!"

He was talking about Wang Feng!

Nanshatuozi is very close to Tongliao, otherwise it would not have been included in the urban area of ​​Tongliao after the city wall was demolished. However, Xu Chaoyang, who was guarding here, heard the sound of gunfire. This means that Wang Feng took action when the supplies transported from Qianjiadian to Tongliao were about to arrive at the city!

Everyone knew that Wang Feng had to get what he wanted, but no one would have thought that he was still thinking about the battlefield mission arranged by Dao Wenbin.

Only when they are closer to Tongliao can the Japanese become more hateful; only when they are far away from where they can slap Wang Feng as soon as the city gate is opened can the Japanese be stimulated to rush out from Tongliao.

Wang Feng is not the chief of staff for nothing. Not only does he know how to fight, he also knows how to fight in a way that affects the enemy's psychology!

"Everyone listen up!"

Xu Chaoyang stood in the trench and shouted loudly!
"If the Japanese rush out of the Tongliao South Gate facing us, machine guns are not allowed to fire. All rifles must fire in intervals in the order of one row and one row apart!"

"Tong Meng!"

"Listen to me, even if you think the Japanese are taking advantage of you, just hold on! Without my order, the Flying Thunder Cannon is not allowed to fire!"

"Remember this clearly. This is an opportunity Chief of Staff Wang has created for us at the cost of his life!"

At a high point above the sandbags of Nanshatuozi, Tong Meng and a few others were burying gasoline barrels. When Xu Chaoyang's voice appeared, he looked at Yang Jingyu with complete confusion.

"Old Yang, what's wrong with the company commander? There are some weapons that cannot be used. What does this mean?"

Yang Jingyu ignored him and cursed with his head down: "You son of a bitch... You cunning fellow... Xu Chaoyang was born to fight the Japanese invaders. He wanted to clear out all the stuff in his brain in order to fight the Japanese invaders!"

"Chang Zhan, lead the law enforcement team into the trenches to inspect the 'anti-artillery pits'. If anyone fails to meet the standards, you will give him a slap in the face! The final preparations before the battle must be done carefully. The rest of you, be ready to fight at any time!"

The sound of gunfire became more and more intense in the southeast direction of Tongliao. Until Chang Zhan finished checking the anti-gun pit with a horsewhip in hand, Xu Chaoyang watched as a cavalry team rushed out from the east of the city towards the south!
It’s Wang Feng!
Xu Chaoyang didn't know how many people he brought to attack the supply line from Qianjiadian to Tongliao, but when Xu Chaoyang saw the cavalry of forty or fifty people running towards the south of the city at fleeing speed, Xu Chaoyang's heart was in his throat!

Wang Feng could retreat. There was no problem for him to run now. After all, there were more than 200 pseudo-Mongolian troops following behind this cavalry.

That was a team escorting supplies, and he had done an excellent job as a bait!
But Wang Feng didn't run away. He actually went around the city in the opposite direction!
Wang Feng's plan to bypass the city in the direction of Kailu seemed reasonable, just like a guerrilla force that was planning to retreat after attacking the supply line. However, Xu Chaoyang knew that Wang Feng was tempting the Japanese in Tongliao City with human lives.

He treated himself as a piece of cake, a freshly baked cake that was still emitting a fragrant aroma, and was doing his best to seduce those rats in the city!
He wanted to lure the devils to open the city gates and come out of the city...

He wanted to give those who were ready to attack the city a chance...

Da da da da da!
The Japanese soldiers in Tongliao City could no longer bear it. They set up machine guns and began firing at the direction of the cavalry. Four or five heroes from the 9th Brigade who were at the rear of the team fell off their horses at the same time. The remaining bullets fell behind the cavalry, raising dust on the road.

Seeing this, Xu Chaoyang shouted in a voice that was almost choking: "Machine gun position, sprinkle water!"

The soldiers took out the water bottles they received from the 9th Brigade and sprinkled them around the machine guns, wetting the yellow sand under the scorching sun and turning the area around the machine guns into wet soil.

boom! boom! boom!
The pseudo-Mongolian infantry, using various firearms, followed the cavalry closely, giving people a feeling that they were about to catch up. At this moment, the gate of Tongliao opened!
"rush!"

A group of Japanese soldiers rushed out of the city. As soon as the city gate was opened, they began shooting at the cavalry with their Type 38 rifles using their range advantage.

The machine gun bullets on the city wall intercepted the cavalry's return direction to the west, forcing Wang Feng to pull the reins hard, abruptly changing the escape trajectory from west to south!

Everything seemed to be forced by the devils, but the Japanese had no idea that they were the ones being led by the nose.

"fire!"

Suddenly, a cannon exploded on the top of the city wall, and a cannonball fell in the air, hitting the center of the cavalry - boom! A large amount of sand and soil was splashed up, and the horses and soldiers around the cannonball were pushed sideways and flew away by the impact. The Japanese machine guns on the top of the city wall opened fire one after another as if to join in the fun. The puppet Mongolian army seemed to have a chance, and they pulled the trigger one by one with all their might.

awful.

Xu Chaoyang didn't know how to describe it except this word. He saw with his own eyes that half of Wang Feng's men were killed in one encounter, and several horses were frightened and ran around uncontrollably.

There were only a dozen people left. The team of forty or fifty people was chased by the Japanese and Mongolian troops. Wang Feng, who rushed towards Xu Chaoyang, sat on the galloping horse and waved the whip. He laughed and shouted: "God is my witness!"

"The thick soil is the proof!"

"I, Wang Feng, would rather die than bend my knees to the devils and become a slave of a conquered nation!!!"

"you shut up……"

Xu Chaoyang lay in the trench and muttered these words to the horse that was galloping towards him.

He now hopes that Wang Feng will come over quietly, and you are calling your grandmother grandson at this time!

Three hundred meters!
Wang Feng's figure is getting bigger and bigger...

One hundred meters!

Xu Chaoyang could feel the bullet behind Wang Feng losing its accuracy and flying over the trench.

Fifty meters...

Xu Chaoyang could already clearly see the appearance of the horse that Wang Feng was sitting on!
"beat!"

boom!boom!
boom!boom!
Sporadic gunshots rang out on the battlefield, and the number of people led by Wang Feng became smaller and smaller. As the horses kept falling and only a few people were left, Xu Chaoyang finally gave the order to open fire.

But the sound of gunfire...

Apart from surprising the puppet Mongolian army, it caused almost no hindrance to the pursuing puppet Mongolian army.

Xu Chaoyang only has a complete company that has just been replenished. The three platoons in the company are not allowed to fire at the same time. They have to fire one row at a time. How many guns are there?

The sound of gunfire could only cause a few puppet Mongolian soldiers to fall down. After a round of firing, they didn't feel any pain. For a team of more than 200 people, what would it matter if a few of them fell down?

When the leader of the puppet Mongolian army heard the gunshots, he led his men to lie down at the reverse slope of Shatuozi. They were only more than 100 meters away from the trench above, less than 200 meters away, and the fleeing horse team was only 40 to 50 meters away...

But the sporadic gunfire in the trenches seemed to prove that the other side did not have many people. This just happened to be the case with the group of people who attacked the supply team. Their insufficient numbers and weak firepower made it seem like they had left some people behind in advance to serve as snipers, and it was definitely not an ambush.

Otherwise, why isn't there even a machine gun?
This meant that all the heavy weapons were placed in positions ready to attack the supply lines.

This is what he deserves!
The generals of the puppet Mongolian army held up their guns and shouted: "It's time for us to show our faces!"

"rush!!!"

As soon as the puppet Mongolian army stood up, the Japanese army that rushed out of Tongliao behind them was already in place...

More than 200 puppet Mongolian soldiers crouched down, holding guns and began to move towards the trench where Xu Chaoyang was.

"All rifles keep firing, keep firing simultaneously!"

This was the second order issued by Xu Chaoyang, because he saw the Japs lying on the reverse slope where the puppet Mongolian army was just now, using this group of idiots as a touchstone.

If you still let your troops use sporadic gunfire at this time, the Japanese might become suspicious, and then all the previous arrangements would be in vain.
Therefore, Xu Chaoyang had to let all the rifles fire at full speed to give the Japanese the illusion that they had exhausted all their strength!
boom!
boom!boom!
When a company's rifles opened fire at the same time, the puppet Mongolian army immediately felt the pressure. The accuracy of the Type 38 rifle made a distance of 100 meters no longer far away. After the trained soldiers became familiar with the guns, they dared to fire as long as they covered the enemy with the crosshairs.

On the battlefield where bullets were flying, the Japanese lying on the slope were itching to attack. They clearly saw that when the puppet Mongolian army strafed this group of people with machine guns, the machine guns went silent wherever the bullets landed. But the puppet Mongolian army just couldn't attack because the two light machine guns couldn't suppress the entire front line, and half of the enemy's front line was enough to make the puppet Mongolian army timid, because they had no cover.

"Captain, let's go!"

Some people in the Japanese army had already started to request to fight, but when the Japanese commander turned his head and took a look at the position, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.

On both sides of this position is a sorghum piled with sand dunes, and on both sides of the sorghum, there are two water bubbles!

Yes, the location of Nanshatuozi is so magical. The place has been completely desertified, but there are water bubbles, and you can even see green grass not far ahead.

If you know people from Tongliao, you will learn another interesting thing. In the past, people from Tongliao liked to swim in the water bubbles in Shatuozi. Almost every year, several disobedient children who went there to play because they thought they could swim would drown there.

Xu Chaoyang's team was stuck in such a position, so if you want to attack the flank, you have to wade first. And as soon as the Japanese wade, they will immediately become the target of attack because of their slow movements, and they will not even have the chance to get ashore.

Xu Chaoyang had already utilized the terrain of Nanshatuozi to the fullest, but Yang Jingyu, who was watching the battlefield from the sand pile behind him, was still surprised by his deployment of the Japanese.

This guy was not bragging at all. He used the sporadic gunfire to trick the puppet Mongolian army into thinking that there was an advantage here and rushing over. As soon as the puppet Mongolian army came up, all the rifles in the company rang out, trapping the puppet Mongolian army in the middle, forcing them to defend themselves by fighting back. They could neither go up nor retreat.

Xu Chaoyang's company stood steadily under the breastwork, aiming without any burden. At most, they would lower their necks when the machine guns fired at them. Otherwise, they would keep the gun steady and shoot one shot at a time.

boom!
boom!
Two more gunshots rang out. After two puppet Mongolian soldiers on the yellow sand were knocked down like targets, the enemy's machine guns were firing at them as if to vent their anger. They looked so angry that they looked like a child blocking the door and cursing, "You can't hit me, you angry monkey!"

The puppet Mongolian army was so angry that they left more than a dozen corpses in an instant, but they were helpless; although the fight was fierce, two of Xu Chaoyang's men were mowed down by machine guns when they were trying to find targets, and other than that, there was almost no damage.

When the Japanese officer saw all this, he felt as if a breath was being pressed on his chest and he couldn't let it out. He didn't understand why such a simple battle could cause these puppet Mongolian troops to fight like this!
The enemy clearly had no firepower advantage, they just occupied the advantageous terrain.

"team leader??!!"

The Japanese soldiers beside the Japanese captain's eyes were almost popping out, and a feeling of pent-up anger was lingering around them.

"Report to the captain, the machine gun has been set up!"

"Report to the captain, the grenade launcher is ready!"

The Japanese captain finally came to his senses: "Suppress with fire!"

Da da da da da da!

After hearing the gunshots on the slope, Xu Chaoyang urgently ordered: "Everyone lower your heads, all rifles cease fire, let's take a break first, otherwise the Japanese won't dare to come up!"

At that second, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Xu Chaoyang's lips!

The puppet Mongolian army also raised their heads at this moment!
His gaze was directed towards the end of a row of horse hoof prints on the sand dune. The fallen warhorse and the body next to the horse where the horses fell had their clothes blown by the wind.
