War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 228 How did he say those words? (Thanks to '风云中老大' for the reward)
"Quick! Quick!"

In the early morning, when the sun was shining completely overhead, Sun Damazi of the 41st Army urged his troops to rush behind Zhang Haipeng's unit. It is no exaggeration to say that he could even touch Zhang Haipeng's butt now.

"map!"

Sun Damazi shouted this as the troops were marching. When the two soldiers unfolded the map in front of him again, the location where his fingers had left marks appeared before his eyes again.

That night, Sun Damazi unfolded the map almost every hour. Each time, he had to re-search Zhang Haipeng's location based on the information brought back by the scouts from the front. However, he had been searching for half the night, and Zhang Haipeng's main force had not moved.

"This bastard has blocked the main force a little ahead of the road until now. He is afraid of death. He is afraid that if something unexpected happens, he can turn around and run back. He can go back to Lindong at any time."

"come!"

"Order the cavalry brigade to stop advancing, and let both the men and the horses rest!"

"Ten minutes later, charge into the plain battlefield, galloping without stopping, and rush directly to Zhang Haipeng's artillery position!"

"Artillery regiment!"

"Choose a high position to occupy the bombardment point. I have only two requirements, that is, Zhang Haipeng's main force and artillery positions must be destroyed under the bombardment... Tell the artillery regiment that I have left him a route with the Japanese artillery I captured in Chifeng. If he can't use it well, I will bury him alive with his head down!"

"Order all troops to rest for ten minutes. After ten minutes, launch a general attack on Zhang Haipeng's troops!"

The 41st Army had some time to rest, but Sun Damazi couldn't rest. He looked at the map and fell into deep thought, thinking about how to submerge Zhang Haipeng's entire army in this battle.

What he was thinking about was how he could say those words that Xu Chaoyang said, just like he did in Chifeng, which sounded so satisfying, such as "firepower intimidation, feint attack by all forces, tactical retreat". Those words sounded like the truth when said by the man named Yang, and he also wanted to say something similar to his own troops, but after thinking for a long time, he still had nothing in his mind.

He looked at the map in front of him and said to the staff officers around him, "Order the 122nd Division to move out on the left and fire light and heavy machine guns at the same time; order the 123rd Division to spread out and drive Zhang Haipeng to the middle area; order the 124th Division to the right..."

"Fuck your feet!"

"Anyway, I'll position the three divisions as pawns for you, pushing Zhang Haipeng's troops forward until they are in front of the 217th Regiment's firepower. Bring them all together. Do you understand?"

Sun Damazi felt relieved after saying those last words. In fact, what he wanted to say was to surround the enemy on three sides, drive them away with firepower, reduce the enemy's activity area, and prevent them from fleeing.

But how could Sun Damazi, who came from a cult and mixed up in the underworld, say these words? He was still used to using his own way of expression, even if it was a little troublesome.

"General, what about the timing of entry?" The chief of staff stared at the map and asked.

This is not an idle question. If they surround Zhang Haipeng's troops on three sides and compress their movement space to a certain extent, the crossfire will hurt our own people. We don't need to be at a too long distance, as long as we compress Zhang Haipeng's troops within a thousand meters... Although those bullets that have lost control have lost their accuracy, they still have the power to hurt people.

"Are you stupid?"

Sun Damazi turned around and cursed: "Zhang Haipeng has been suppressed by us like this, why doesn't he surrender?"

How could he have Xu Chaoyang's foundation of using resource advantages to the fullest? He couldn't even tell the effective range and shooting distance of the guns in his hands, so how could he use various data to arrange the battlefield?

"Anyway, tell your men to keep their eyes open when they shoot, and don't shoot your own men. Do you understand?"

The chief of staff turned around and gave the other staff officers a look. Several staff officers took paper and pen and began to work on the spot. They then measured the distance on the plain. After the measurement, they drew a dotted line on the plain: "Commander, the 122nd Division can only advance to this position at most. If it goes further, there will be the danger of bullets crossing;"

"123rd Division, we can't go any further here;"

"The 124th Division must not cross this line. First, it is to prevent the 217th Regiment from mistaking us for the enemy. Second, it can effectively force Zhang Haipeng's troops under the guns of the 217th Regiment."

The chief of staff then began to speak: "In addition, the bombardment must begin immediately after the artillery positions are set up. This will not delay the cavalry brigade's raid on the battlefield, nor will it waste the time of our infantry's charge..."

"Commander, I think Xu Chaoyang's strategic deployment when we were in Chifeng was very correct. He said that after the shells fell and exploded, the infantry should rush forward immediately. Only the coordination of infantry and artillery can bring out the greatest advantage of the troops." Sun Damazi nodded his head and waited for several staff officers and the chief of staff to finish arranging the tactics before he said, "Yes, that's what I mean."

The Chief of Staff smiled and turned around and shouted, "That soldier!"

"You go to the artillery regiment's position immediately and urge them to build the position. After they have completed the construction, destroy Zhang Haipeng's main force and its artillery position."

"The firing time is ten minutes. Within ten minutes after the position is set up, the shells must explode everywhere on the enemy's position..."

When Sun Damazi heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Hey~"

The chief of staff immediately changed his words: "We also need to control our aim. We can't waste ammunition too much." After saying that, he even glanced at Sun Damazi. Seeing that Sun Damazi didn't open his mouth again, he continued: "After the shells fall, the 124th Division will launch a surprise attack on Zhang Haipeng's troops from behind, hitting them hard with all their firepower, and force them back to the plain to gain space for the cavalry to enter."

"After Zhang Haipeng's troops retreated, the cavalry quickly rushed in, not allowing them to engage in a firefight with Zhang Haipeng's troops, and rushed directly along the edge of the battlefield towards the artillery positions."

"At this moment, if Zhang Haipeng's troops rely on the left side of the battlefield, the 122nd Division will launch a surprise attack;"

"If you go to the right, the 123rd Division will attack with all their might!"

"Remember, the opportunity to fight cannot be missed, so there is no need to wait for orders from the military. Fight whenever you see an enemy until you force them under the guns of the 217th Regiment."

At this time, the chief of staff looked at Sun Damazi and said, "Commander, there shouldn't be many people left in Zhang Haipeng's army at this time. The 217th Regiment can definitely hold on. We can also keep all of Zhang Haipeng's men on the battlefield. What do you think?"

Sun Damazi stared at the map, looking at the dotted lines drawn by the staff officer. The order of priority mentioned by the chief of staff had already emerged in his mind. Then he casually said, "Such a small matter, do you still need to ask me?"

The chief of staff immediately gained confidence when he heard this and shouted, "Go and pass on the order!"

……

tom!tom!tom!
The sound of artillery fire continued, and at the moment the sun just rose at dawn, the meadow in front of Xu Chaoyang was set on fire by the continuous artillery shells!
At first, there were only a few small flames, but the wind blowing towards Xu Chaoyang made the fire grow bigger and bigger, and finally, thick smoke billowed on the meadow.

boom!
After a cannon shot, Xu Chaoyang vaguely heard a sound from a completely different distance. He lay in front of the broken ice and turned to look at Lao Huang: "What kind of cannon is that?"

Old Huang seemed to have heard it, but the sound was so faint that he could only barely hear it and could not distinguish it at all...

"Type 92 infantry gun!"

Old Yang had very sharp ears and could hear the sound of cannon fire.

Captain Huang asked nervously, "Have the Japanese from Tongliao or Kailu arrived?"

Xu Chaoyang’s first reaction was to look up!
He stared at the sky for a long time, but when he didn't hear any sound of an airplane, let alone see even one, he shook his head and said, "It's not the Japs!"

If it were the Japanese, they would not send troops just for the 217th Regiment. Couldn't Zhang Haipeng's 217 men deal with the th Regiment?

They sent troops only because they had obtained intelligence about the 41st Army. But if they wanted to deal with Sun Damazi of the 41st Army, the aircraft bombing would definitely be in place, so how could you, a cake seller, escape?

"It's the 41st Army!"

Xu Chaoyang shouted with certainty: "The 41st Army has arrived. They are the only ones who have the Type infantry gun captured in Chifeng!"
