War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 168: The Life of a Soldier! (Thanks to 'Mu Lao Er' for the reward!)

Small street base flank position.

When Xu Chaoyang was in the trench looking at the battlefield with a brand new telescope borrowed from the Fifth Military Region, he thought the Japanese were crazy!

The Eighth Division did appear in front of the dug trenches, but how could a war be fought so blatantly?
You let your opponent watch when you come, watch you prepare before your stance, and watch you launch an attack when you are ready... Is there slop in your head?
But the Japs came so openly. Not only did they come, but after entering the trenches, they placed four tanks and four armored vehicles in front of the formation, and at once showed all their assets to Dao Wenbin!

Isn't this crazy?
Two con men are playing tricks on the table, and suddenly one of them reveals his trump card. What are you going to do?

Before Xu Chaoyang could figure out the Japanese intentions, these devils actually started to organize themselves into teams. Teams frequently appeared behind the armored vehicles and tanks, showing an attitude of preparing for a head-on battle. Unsurprisingly, the mechanized troops drove their iron-shelled turtles and pulled out the infantry from behind like shit.

"Isn't this devil a jack of all trades?"

Yang Jingyu immediately came to Xu Chaoyang's side, stared at the battlefield in front of him and said: "If we continue to fight like this, why do I feel that we have a good chance of winning?"

Xu Chaoyang immediately moved his eyes away from the telescope and turned to look at Yang Jingyu.

He also hoped that the Japanese commander was a jack of all trades, and he also hoped that everything he saw was the result of the Japanese commander's whims. However, was this possible?
Would a commander who could use a round of artillery fire to throw an entire small street of soldiers off the battlefield for three days be so cruel?

Why is it so difficult to fight the devils? Aren't they almost the same as the peasant uprisings of all dynasties...

"No, Chaoyang, something is definitely wrong." Yang Jingyu thought about it and felt that it was impossible. He denied his idea without even saying anything.

But can the devils on the battlefield give you time to think?
suddenly!
The advancing troops, after gathering in front of the Japanese position, pulled the team apart and stopped there, as if waiting for something to arrive, and the iron-shelled turtle was still shaking with a "thump thump thump" sound.

This was the first time Xu Chaoyang was surprised by the devil's behavior. Before this, he could easily make predictions based on the other party's behavior...

hum!
When the roar of agitated machinery reached Xu Chaoyang's ears, he subconsciously raised his head...

When a figure that Xu Chaoyang didn't recognize at all appeared in the sky, the moment that thing swayed its body and rushed past his head, four words appeared in his mind - JZ bombing!

On October 1931, 10, more than a dozen bombers took off from Fengtian Airport and carried out indiscriminate bombing on JZ. During the period, a total of 8 75-kilogram bombs were dropped, causing severe damage to the entire city.

The Fengtian Army had no air superiority at all and could only watch the planes dropping bombs overhead and then turning around and flying away. They couldn't even hear you curse!

That kind of frustration and hatred cannot be told to outsiders at all. That is why so many people lamented when the director of the Strategic Research Institute told the media that we did not have a "fifth-generation aircraft". But when our fifth-generation aircraft really appeared in the public eye, the people's excitement made them forget to blame the director for playing a good-natured joke on us in order to protect secrets.

Now, it's completely different.

This is eastern Mengdong. The Japanese army that used Type 88 light bomber to bomb Xiaojieji is just bullying you because you have no one to protect you!

They wanted to use the bombing of JZ to completely crush the morale of the entire Fifth Military Region and make it impossible for the entire Inner Mongolia to organize any decent resistance.

Thinking of this, Xu Chaoyang immediately lowered his head and looked towards Xiaojieji. He began to worry about the soldiers on the battlefield and Dao Wenbin who was at the Xiaojieji Brigade Headquarters...

boom!
Xu Chaoyang did not see the process of the plane dropping the bomb, but he saw the fireworks bursting out on the small street!

He couldn't tell from the fireworks how many kilograms of explosives there were, but when he could see the broken wood from the house being blown away by the air currents from such a distance, his heart sank completely.

Boom, boom, boom, boom... All along the way from the front line position of Xiaojieji to the brigade headquarters, it was as if a barrage of Xu Jin bullets was dropped, and a streak of fireworks was set off. When a formation of planes flew over in the sky, all the soldiers on the company's position looked towards that direction with helplessness in their eyes.

What can they do?
Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!
Immediately afterwards, the front position of Xiaojieji came under heavy bombardment. The Japanese artillery used the front position of Xiaojieji as a target and pulled the shells horizontally in front of the position. The artillery cooperated with the air force and blasted a "convex" shape in Xiaojieji.

At this moment, the coordination between infantry and tanks began. Under the cover of artillery fire, tanks and armored vehicles began to move forward, and the Japanese infantry followed closely behind the mechanized troops.

The Japs won't play tactics with you anymore. They don't want to play anymore!

After the large force arrived, the Japanese relied on their existing advantages to launch a crushing bombing on Xiaojieji. You can use any tactics you want.

"Chaoyang!"

Old Chang quickly rushed to Xu Chaoyang's side, looked at the small street that was constantly being bombed, grinned and let out a wailing cry. In this scene, anyone who has served in the army knows what it will look like inside.

Chang Zhan had just enjoyed a period of peaceful life here. He had just slept in a house with walls and had a roof over his head. How could it all be gone in the blink of an eye!
tom!
As the four tanks moved forward, their gun muzzles suddenly retracted, and several balls of fire burst out from the front of the front position. Then, black smoke rolled up into the air, spreading the burnt smell of gunpowder in all directions.

This is what the Japanese think. They just want you to watch, and they want you to watch!

Chug tug tug tug…

The machine guns on the armored vehicles and tanks no longer needed to measure distance. As long as they could see the front of the enemy's position, they dared to open fire. More than a dozen machine guns on four armored vehicles and four tanks frequently spewed out flames. Occasionally, a Japanese soldier would stick his head out from behind the tank and pull the trigger. The land on the front position of the small street never stopped splashing dust.

"Chaoyang, let's fight?" Yang Jingyu also shouted anxiously: "I'm afraid the brothers in the Fifth Military Region can't hold on..."

"Calm the fuck down!"

Xu Chaoyang's face tightened with anger, and he pointed at the front battlefield and said, "The artillery is still bombarding the frontline positions. If we open fire at this time, the Japanese artillery positions will immediately stop shelling Xiaojieji, and the next round of shells will fall on our heads at any time!"

Xu Chaoyang looked at Yang Jingyu and said, "When the time comes, the wet soil in this broken place will be blown up by you. How many people do you think will be left alive in the anti-gun pits dug by the brothers?"

"I can't believe that the Japs are planning to pour all their artillery fire on Xiaojieji, hoping to completely defeat the entire Fifth Military Region through this round of bombing!"

"Fight! Don't be impatient... You have to bear it no matter how much it hurts."

The high-pitched roar of Xu Chaoyang was suppressed by the heavy breathing behind him. His voice became lower and lower as he spoke. Finally, as if swallowing the sound, he turned his head, raised the telescope and looked at the battlefield again.

He knew that his brothers were saddened to see the Fifth Military District in Xiaojieji being bombed, and he felt sad too. He was also a human being with feelings, not something that was created out of stone!

But when the situation on the battlefield requires you to be cold-blooded, even if your own father is almost thrown into the frying pan in front of you, you can only shout "give me a bowl of soup"; even if your own daughter-in-law is impaled on the city wall, you have to shout "fire" with snot!
This is fate, it is a soldier's fate.

If an artist's life is that the play is more important than anything else, and he has to perform as usual even if his family members have passed away after the plaque has been hung; then a soldier's life is that you have to be cold-blooded and watch the people you once knew best leave with your own eyes.

Xu Chaoyang accepted his fate because... he was a soldier.

　Thanks to 'Mu Lao Er' for the reward, thank you very much, I am grateful!
