War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 225: To be a soldier, you have to dare to take risks!

"report!"

On the road from Duolun to the battlefield, a war horse rushed towards a troop composed of trucks, horse-drawn carriages, mule-drawn carriages, donkey-drawn carriages, and ox-drawn carts. When he stopped the leading vehicle, Wang Changhai stuck his head out of the car.

In order to catch up with the battle, Wang Changhai requisitioned all the cars and livestock in Duolun City, and also shot two civilians who tried to stop the army because they did not understand its actions.

But who knew the result would be...

"Report, the regiment's direct battalion has launched an attack on the headquarters regiment on the plains, burning the yellow weeds within a hundred meters to expand the field of vision, and pouring ice walls as shelters..."

Wang Changhai was about to curse, and the word "fuck" was about to slip out of his mouth, but he clenched his teeth tightly and held the words back.

At first, he thought Xu Chaoyang was Ma Su. It was obvious that they could defend Duolun if they retreated, so why did they have to fight a blocking attack on the plain?
But thinking again, he figured out two problems: First, if they defended in a dangerous place, Zhang Haipeng might not dare to chase them. Even if Zhang Haipeng caught up with them, he would not dare to go deep into the enemy. At most, he would send the vanguard to fight ahead. He would definitely leave enough space for retreat. In this way, if the 41st Army did not have time to cut off the retreat, Zhang Haipeng would definitely retreat. If he did not come out of Lindong, the big fish would escape.

Secondly, if he defended the dangerous area, without any soldiers coming forward, Xu Chaoyang would only be faced with rounds of artillery fire. At that time, when trenches were difficult to dig, how could he resist the shells? Since he had to pay a price, he might as well hold on to the plain and let Zhang Haipeng dare to rush up!
At least, the fishhook was still hooked on Zhang Haipeng's cheek.

This little bastard is trying to play tricks on Zhang Haipeng.

"How's the battle going?"

"The Si Tuan is fighting with Xu's troops."

"I'm asking you about the battle situation!"

"The head of the group has already decided to retreat..."

When Wang Changhai heard this, his scalp suddenly went numb. He remembered what Song Zheyuan had said to him. At that time, the military commander said that the combat effectiveness of Xu Chaoyang's troops could beat his entire regiment with just one company!

"Report!"

The second horse came over and said to the car, "Zhang Haipeng's troops have arrived at the battlefield. They have already set up artillery positions and are ready to bombard the regiment's direct battalion at any time!"

"Fuck my grandma!"

Wang Changhai was not scolding Wang Changhai, he was scolding Xu Chaoyang for his amazing head!

Where can you hide your artillery positions on the plain?

It’s amazing that you can pull back by relying on the distance!
But what has the 217th Regiment been practicing for the past six months? It's ambushes, positioning, and long-distance raids!
Xu Chaoyang has written a perfect answer sheet, and is just waiting for you, Wang Changhai, to go over and sign it... As long as you get to the plain, you can bombard his artillery position without even having to look for it.

When you encounter this kind of subordinate...

"Everyone listen up!"

"Order the first battalion to withdraw from its original position and rush into the position of Xu's troops on the plain to reinforce the defense;"

"Order the Second Battalion and all artillery units to coordinate and destroy Zhang Haipeng's artillery position;"

"Everyone speed up, don't stop until you reach the battlefield, quick!!!"

……

"quick!!!"

The 41th Army.

Sun Damazi stood on the side of the road, holding his waist and urging the troops. Over the past few days, he had continuously sent people to investigate in the direction of Duolun, but the answers he got made him anxious.

While Xu Chaoyang was constantly tempting Zhang Haipeng to pursue, he pushed Zhang Haipeng further and further away from Lin Dong, leaving more and more range for the 41st Army to cut off. However, seeing that his troops were unable to cross this distance, he stepped behind Zhang Haipeng in one step, and was so anxious that he wanted to whip the soldiers.

What a great achievement this is!

After seven days and seven nights of bloody fighting in Chifeng, a Japanese regiment was annihilated. If Zhang Haipeng's puppet army was completely wiped out, Sun Damazi would be able to create a new legend in Rehe!

"Hurry up on your feet!"

"Faster!"

Under Sun Damazi's urging, a division commander finally couldn't help but say, "Commander, it's been seven days. The brothers have only slept three hours a day for seven days. We can't bear it anymore!"

boom!
Sun Damazi pulled out a Browning from his holster and pulled the trigger at the commander's feet. Then, he glared and shouted, "Whoever disrupts our army's morale will die!"

After this sentence, no one said anything more. Everyone sped up silently while sighing. Already exhausted, they finally moved horizontally across the Chahar ground after crossing the mountain ridge and appeared behind Lin Dong and Zhang Haipeng's troops.

"Someone, bring me a map and tell me where Zhang Haipeng's troops are and where Xu Chaoyang is!"

Two soldiers unfolded a map in front of him. A chief of staff pointed at the map and said, "Commander, Xu Chaoyang is here to block the Si Tuan, Zhang Haipeng's troops are here, and the surrounding area is a plain."

"Hehehe..." Sun Damazi was so happy that he was about to burst into laughter. What he saw was not a plain at all, but a place of slaughter after the artillerymen set up their guns!

……

"Bombardment!"

"Bombardment!"

"Lie down!"

Behind the ice wall, shouts were heard continuously and artillery sounds were heard one after another in front. The only weak point in Xu Chaoyang's entire plan appeared. That is, after the enemy artillery set up the artillery positions, they had to withstand the bombardment!

boom!
The moment the Fengtian-made Type 14 flat-fire cannon, which was modeled after the Japanese Taisho -year flat-fire cannon, was pushed to the front line, the defensive function of the ice wall completely disappeared.

tom!
Under the bombardment of the flat-fire artillery, the shells smashed the weeds and fell on the ice wall, causing an explosion. The ice wall that Xu Chaoyang had carefully arranged completely became a shoddy project. These ice walls that could withstand bullets could be blown down by a single shot under the bombardment of the flat-fire artillery, and the soldiers behind them were inevitably blown away by the shells.

The most hateful thing is that Zhang Haipeng’s troops not only had flat-fire artillery pushed to the front line, they also had 75mm field guns whose performance was no worse than the Type 14 and the 105-year type mm howitzers manufactured in Fengtian!
In order to deal with Xu Chaoyang, Zhang Haipeng directly launched a warlord artillery show on the plain, and the sound of artillery kept echoing on the plain.

"You bastard!"

"Catch me again!"

"You scratch it!"

"You think I don't know what you're planning?!"

"Returning the horse company, bullshit!"

"Aren't you the battalion commander of the 29th Regiment of the 217th Army? Isn't there an ambush of the 217th Regiment behind you?"

"I want to see if the 217th Regiment behind you dares to come and fight against the men in my hands!"

Zhang Haipeng was finally relieved. He had been holding his anger in for a long time from Lindong all the way to Chahar, but he hadn't found a place to vent it. He was also ambushed twice by Xu Chaoyang outside the city and at Erdaokanzi.

At that time, Zhang Haipeng was also wondering whether it was possible that such a team of several hundred people had taken rat poison, otherwise they would not be so suicidal.

After investigation, it was discovered that Xu Chaoyang was not a member of the first company of the Ma Army at all. He had changed his allegiance long ago and was now a battalion commander under the 29th Regiment of the 217th Army of the Northwest Army. He had just been promoted to the rank of battalion commander.

In this case, the one standing behind Xu Chaoyang can only be the 217th Regiment, and even the 29th Army cannot come to support him.

But when he thought of this, Zhang Haipeng became even more confused.

The 217th Regiment has less than people at most, including the cooks and grooms. Why would they bother me with such a small number of people?
The Chief of Staff then brought up a possibility: "Sir, did Xu Chaoyang have a record of repelling the 17th Brigade in Lindong? At that time, the 17th Brigade was unable to even respond to the gunfire. Do they think we are the same? Are they planning to team up with the 217th Regiment to ambush us in Duolun, hoping to gain the reputation of repelling 'Zhang Haipeng'?"

"Right now, you can be said to be the Tang Monk's meat on the ground of the Northeast. Everyone who sees you wants to take a bite. Even if we can't take it, if we repel it, it will be a face-saving thing for them to return to the Northeast Army camp."

"By then, Xu Chaoyang had the merit of repelling Cui Xingwu and killing the commander of the 17th Brigade; the 217th Regiment had the merit of repelling us. Who wouldn't look up to them?"

Zhang Haipeng thought about it and realized that this could only be the case. Otherwise, with the equipment of the 29th Army, why would they provoke him? Why!
As for the Japanese equipment in Xu Chaoyang's hands, Zhang Haipeng didn't even consider it. It was very likely that it was given as a reward by the 41st Army after it destroyed a regiment of the Japanese devils.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haipeng immediately ordered: "Send a battalion back to Lindong and tell them to bring more shells and bullets to reinforce. This time, even if the 217th Regiment really enters Rehe to ambush, I will make sure they never return."

"Also, have someone pass the message to the superiors, ordering them to hold on to Xu Chaoyang. Anyone who stops moving forward or is a coward will be subject to military law!"

"Damn it, I just can't believe that I could be schemed against by such a little brat!"

……

"Chaoyang!"

"Chaoyang!"

Old Yang grabbed Xu Chaoyang's sleeve, his face covered in dirt from the bombardment, and shouted, "We can't go on like this. There will be too many casualties if we continue like this!"

Xu Chaoyang looked at the battlefield ahead, the fire in his heart had already reached his throat, but he still shouted: "Hold on!"

"So many people are gone, look back!"

Xu Chaoyang lay on the ground and turned his head. Behind him, there were corpses everywhere and smoking craters everywhere. However, the enemy's artillery shells showed no signs of running out, as if they wanted to cleanse the land again and again.

"I can't retreat!" Xu Chaoyang gritted his teeth and shouted, "If a soldier doesn't dare to die, he will never catch a big fish in his life!"

"Old Yang, you have to believe me. I trained the 217th Regiment myself. I am sure they will arrive within half a day!"

"I..." Old Yang looked at Xu Chaoyang and didn't say another word. What he wanted to say was, "I'm afraid our camp won't last this long!"
