War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 155 There is a long way to go (Thanks to 'book friend' for the 1500 reward!)
"report!"

Small street base, brigade headquarters.

The messenger returned exhausted, saluted in front of the officers and said, "Report, Xu Chaoyang's troops requested artillery support to destroy the enemy machine gun position 200 meters in front of the Nansha Tuozi flank position outside Tongliao City!"

After shouting, the messenger pointed to the map and said, "Here."

Dao Wenbin took only one look under the dim light, then immediately raised his head and glared at the messenger: "This bastard asked me to arrange the artillery at the west gate of Tongliao to fire a round in front of his position at the south gate?"

"Damn it, aren't you taking advantage enough?"

"what!"

The messenger was stunned, and looked up at the angry Dao Wenbin in confusion.

"What time is this?" The staff officer also said angrily, "The situation of both sides is unclear, just like two people playing tricks on the table at the same time. After finally stealing two cards, who would have to hide them?"

"When the cannon sounds, even Tianjiu has to become depressed. Is this how you fight a war?"

The messenger suddenly reacted and said angrily: "Why did he transfer me?"

He figured it out. How could the entire Fifth Military Region, which is so large, expose the location of its artillery positions for the sake of a single company? Wasn't this just wishful thinking?
"No one is adjusting you."

Dao Wenbin said like the Buddha holding Monkey King: "Xu Chaoyang is a sly guy. He just wants to get as much as he can. If he can't get anything, he won't lose anything."

"I just don't believe it. Without the artillery of the Fifth Military Region, Xu Chaoyang would not have fought this battle..."

"report!"

The scout rushed into the brigade headquarters and stood at the door shouting: "Battle report from the front!"

"Say!"

"Before nightfall, the commander of the first company, Xu Chaoyang, launched an annihilation offensive against the enemy. He first used machine guns to clear the enemy in front of the formation, and then ordered the cavalry to raid the Japanese machine gun position from the flank. When the two sides exchanged fire, the commander's first company rushed out of the position and captured the downhill slope of Nansha Camel. Almost an entire squadron of the Japanese was thrown on Nansha Camel, and more than 200 puppet Mongolian troops were almost completely wiped out. Only a few escaped."

"it is good!"

"Pretty!"

"Your uncle!"

The one who said the word "OK" was Dao Wenbin, because he had anticipated this situation;

The one who said "beautiful" was the staff officer next to Dao Wenbin. This kind of beautiful battle was indeed inspiring;

The one who cursed was the messenger. He couldn't help it. Why did they play tricks on him alone?

"Report the damage!"

The scout's answer was very clear this time: "We have lost more than half of our troops and are in urgent need of rest and recuperation. We are no longer able to take on the next battle."

"Long face!"

"You really make me proud!"

"One company, with half of its losses, wiped out a squadron of Japanese soldiers and more than 9 puppet Mongolian soldiers. This ratio is equivalent to the ratio that the Japanese had in their previous fight with the th Brigade. Even if this was just a small-scale battle, it would be enough for Xu Chaoyang to brag about in the future."

Dao Wenbin was extremely happy. This kind of victory was a great asset for the future. After all, it was won in their Fifth Military Region.

"Pass my order. Command the 12st regiment to take over Xu Chaoyang's position head-on and launch an attack at the south gate of Tongliao at 00: midnight. Even if the entire regiment is wiped out, we must fight with the momentum of launching a general attack at the south gate!" He had to change his previous strategy because the Japanese didn't come out of the city.

"Order the Second Regiment, Artillery Battalion, to fire artillery to open the Liaoxi Gate at 12:30. The original tactics remain unchanged. After opening the West Gate, immediately seize the city gate to prepare for the Third Regiment to enter the city;"

"After the third regiment entered the city, they attacked Ma Daoyin Mansion (formerly the Municipal Bureau) with all their might, using Ma Daoyin Mansion as their base to clear out the population; the second regiment moved from west to north to seize the city gate!"

"Tell my brothers, I, Dao Wenbin, didn't bring them to Tongliao to live a quiet life. After we take over eastern Meng, we have to lead them back to the Northeast. This is only the first stop. Cheer up!"

"Now the Ma company has set an example for us. If you are still outdone, don't blame anyone for looking down on you!"

"Sir..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I know what I said is not very clean, but you must pass it on without changing a word."

"By the way, tell the brothers that the pension for those who died in this battle will be doubled, and those who survived will be promoted one rank, and those who capture the city gate will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with three thousand silver dollars!"

"Yes!"

The messenger turned around and rushed out again. The staff officer came to Dao Wenbin and said in a deep voice: "This Xu Chaoyang is quite useful..."

Dao Wenbin looked at the map, the shadow of his head covering the entire Tongliao City, and responded: "So I can't use it anymore. If this gets out, will I, Dao Wenbin, still be alive?" "If he really fights another shocking battle, won't someone say that my entire Fifth Military Region took Tongliao with the remnants of Ma's army? If this gets out, then we might as well just find a rope and hang ourselves!"

……

Tongliao.

A troop came around from the rear of Nansha Tuozi at night. A large number of soldiers wearing Fengtian Army uniforms quickly entered the position and continued to expand the position in a Z shape. Relying on the protection of the water bubbles on both sides, they extended forward in layers throughout the entire Nansha Tuozi, even occupying the two previous battlefields.

On the battlefield, Xu Chaoyang watched the burly man walking towards him with a big laugh. Before he even arrived, a voice came over: "What's the matter, brother Xu? You killed a bunch of puppet Mongolian soldiers and Japanese devils with one move. You were so heavy-handed. Are you trying to scare me?"

"How can I fight the battles in the future? If I don't rush in and take Tongliao back immediately, I won't be able to go back to Xiaojieji."

Xu Chaoyang lowered his head quickly: "Another blind spot!"

"It's obvious that it was because of you, the commander of the first regiment, who was holding the line, that the Japanese didn't dare to launch a large-scale attack, giving me a chance to sneak attack them, and I was able to barely gain the upper hand."

"Besides, wasn't it you who gave me the order to launch a surprise attack on the puppet Mongolian army and the devils?"

As he spoke, Xu Chaoyang bumped the captain's chest with his shoulder, like a spoiled young wife.

Xu Chaoyang has changed. Ever since the Taylor incident, he has become a completely different person.

He knew when to attack, for example, when the messenger came, he would use both bluffing and deception to take advantage of others, and if he couldn't, he would do it himself, since he didn't point fingers at anyone anyway;
He also knew when to retreat. For example, when a regiment commander arrived, he would never be greedy for credit and would always make a contribution to others in the book of merit.

Xu Chaoyang would never have done this before, and he even sneered at this. But after seeing Wang Feng die bravely, he completely changed his way of thinking.

Between the absolute boundaries of black and white, I personally mixed a ball of gray so that I could have enough room to advance and retreat and to stand firm in a small space.

"Did I...give the order?"

"Look, the order is still in my hand!" Xu Chaoyang turned around and called out in a fake voice: "Tong Meng! Tong Meng! Where is the order that the regiment commander gave us?"

The regiment commander laughed and said, "On the battlefield, if a piece of paper is lost, it's not a big deal. As long as they can carry out the order to the letter and complete it so well, what else can I complain about?"

"Captain of the First Company, listen to my orders!"

"To!"

"Xu Chaoyang, the captain of the First Company of the Ma Army, is devoted to serving the country. I am deeply moved. After the battle, if I am still alive, I will personally celebrate your victory to Commander Dao!"

"Lead the team back to Xiaojieji and rest!"

The two of them kept praising each other and talking in a high-profile manner, almost turning their interpersonal relationships into performance art.

But after they finished praising each other, a regiment commander looked at the troops under Xu Chaoyang and felt envious: "Brother Chaoyang, you have only 50 or 60 people left, which is really tempting. After this battle, these are not just 50 or 60 soldiers, but 50 or 60 squad leaders left for you!"

"Tongliao is not easy to attack. If my brother loses all his troops in the battle of Tongliao, you squad leaders have to share some of the responsibility with me."

Xu Chaoyang didn't respond, but leaned closer and asked, "Did the higher-ups give the order?"

"The strategic deployment has changed."

The commander of the first regiment said while no one was around, "Let our first regiment attack the south gate head-on to attract the enemy's attention. We plan to sacrifice the entire first regiment to create opportunities for the second regiment at the west gate."

"How can that be good?"

"It is difficult to disobey the orders of the Lord!"

The captain nodded meaningfully at Xu Chaoyang, and the implication of that was self-evident.

Xu Chaoyang knew that the regiment commander not only envied them for fighting such a brilliant battle, but also envied him, Xu Chaoyang, for being able to withdraw at this time.

This is all fate. Just like everyone wants to climb to a higher place, but never thinks that what one has to endure at a higher place is completely different from what one has to endure below.

What Xu Chaoyang had to endure was just facing more than 200 puppet Mongolian soldiers and a weak Japanese squadron leader in the battlefield; what about a regimental commander? He had to withstand the firepower of the Japanese on the city wall with real guns and live ammunition, and command his men to die in the hail of bullets and the sea of ​​fire.

"Chaoyang..." The captain called Xu Chaoyang's name affectionately.

Xu Chaoyang waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything. We have a long way to go."

The regiment commander smiled. In this era, if you are wearing a military uniform, the best wish is a long future ahead of you, which is better than anything else.

　Thanks to brother 'book friend 20220726084524393' for the 1500 reward. How did I get all this in one go? It's enough, brother. Thank you, really, I'm very grateful.
