War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 241: Cover the walls with the devils! (Thanks to 'Autumn Wind Falling Leaves and Songs' for 500 rewards)
Night, strong wind, and snow.

White stage.

Xu Chaoyang, who was lying in the mountains, was completely dumbfounded. He saw a battle that he would never understand in his lifetime!

Before arriving at Baitaizi, Xu Chaoyang had rushed towards the northeast highlands outside Xifengkou. They climbed over the stone ladder that was rarely visited by people. It was at this time that Man Guangzhi came back!

"battalion commander!"

Man Guangzhi pinched his waist, tilted his upper body, and gasped heavily. In the night, he exhaled puffs of air from his mouth and burped continuously. It was obvious that he had a stitch in the side.

"Don't be in a hurry. Speak slowly."

With Xu Chaoyang's calm attitude, Man Guangzhi's anxiety was also relieved a little bit. He pointed to the Northeast Highlands in front of him between the Shitizi Mountains and said, "There are many sentries and patrols at the foot of the Northeast Highlands. We can't get close..."

"That's why I led the others to explore a little further." As he spoke, Man Guangzhi swallowed hard. Chang Zhan had just handed over the kettle, but Xu Chaoyang pressed down Chang's hand and said, "Wait a while before drinking."

Man Guangzhi took a breath and said, "Battalion Commander, we circled the Northeastern Highlands and arrived at Baitaizi. We saw a group of Japanese soldiers coming in. The Japanese soldiers at Baitaizi were a little strange. Their guns looked different from the ones we had."

Man Guangzhi raised his gun and gestured, saying, "There is a cylinder on their guns, it's so long..."

Man Guangzhi gestured with his hands, and Xu Chaoyang saw something was wrong at a glance, and asked, "Did you see it clearly?"

"It's true!"

"It's not just one or two guns, but about a hundred people carrying guns like this, it can't be wrong."

Sights!

Xu Chaoyang was very sure that the cylinder above the gun that Man Guangzhi mentioned was the gun sight. The Japanese army of a hundred men carrying guns with sights did not go to the Northeast Highlands for support, but went to Baitaizi instead. What were they doing?

He clearly remembered that there was no such part in history, but no matter whether there was such a part in history or not, he could not let these devils live. If these guys followed the direction he came from to the stone ladder, and then went to the flank of Xifengkou, and attacked the 217th Regiment with the accuracy of the devils, the entire 217th Regiment would have no chance of survival tomorrow!
"Old Chang, adjust the direction of advance, target Baitaizi, quickly!"

Xu Chaoyang acted decisively and quickly led his men to bypass the northeastern highlands and rushed towards Baitaizi first.

He felt that he could definitely control the situation by leading a reinforced battalion to raid the Hundred Man Team. As long as they wiped out the Japanese troops in Baitaizi, they would completely occupy the flank of the Northeastern Heights. Then he could send someone to notify Wang Changhai to attack the Northeastern Heights at night, and he would rush to the Northeastern Heights under the artillery fire. Perhaps he could win the battle in one go!
But the entire battalion hurriedly marched to the outside of the white platform...

But he only saw the village with smoke rising from it in the dark night!

Xu Chaoyang turned his head and looked at Man Guangzhi from a distance. Man Guangzhi also looked at him in confusion and said, "Battalion Commander, I really don't know what's going on!"

Things have come to this point. It is even more impossible for Xu Chaoyang to retreat outside Baitaizi. No matter who is fighting the Japanese army in Baitaizi, he must get involved!
"Old Chang!"

"Lead the first company and break in from the west. Yu Minghao, block the retreat route of Baitaizi in the direction of the Eighth Division. The rest of you, follow me!"

But this path that has been going smoothly cannot be made smoother!
Not only did they not see any of the sentries, but there was not even a single gunshot heard on the white platform that was filled with smoke.

"Captain, look!"

As Xu Chaoyang got closer, he saw a soldier lying at the entrance of the village. His finger was still on the trigger until his death.

"It's Lao Huang and the others..."

Wang Tianhao asked in confusion: "Why? Didn't they go to cut the telephone wires? What are they doing here at Baitaizi?"

"Quick, everyone follow me in!"

Xu Chaoyang had a bad premonition. He was afraid that Lao Huang had a conflict with the Japanese army when cutting the telephone lines, and was forced into Baitaizi, a place with no way to retreat.

But when he rushed into Baitaizi with his men, he only saw a group of local people carrying buckets of water to put out the fire... Several houses in the village were burning continuously, and the billowing smoke just now came from there.

"My friend, what's going on?"

Xu Chaoyang led his team forward and grabbed a villager who was carrying a bucket to put out a fire in the east courtyard of the village. The villager looked at him with a little fear, and the people around him who were putting out the fire all stopped.

"I... don't know!"

The villagers said with an accent: "The Japanese came in the first half of the night and drove us all out of our homes. They occupied the best house in the village and said they wanted to rest."

"We dare not make a sound."

"In the second half of the night, I didn't know who showed up outside, and then we started fighting with the Japanese."

"That's really fierce... I saw a soldier, his body was full of holes from the Japanese, and he rushed into the crowd with a metal ball in his hand..."

"Dang! It exploded with a bang."

"That's right, the whole wall was covered with those damn devils..."

After the villager opened up, he described the normal battle vividly: "There was also a soldier, holding a weapon and chasing four or five Japanese soldiers. Later, the Japanese soldiers kept fighting and running away, which made him angry. He even cursed at them. How did he curse? Yes..."

"Uh, uh..." He cleared his throat.

I imitated the curse I remembered and said, "You son of a bitch, if you keep running, I'll kill you back home and make your mom and your wife do a silly Japanese dance on your grave!"

Xu Chaoyang was stunned after hearing what he heard. Not only Xu Chaoyang, but also Chang Zhan who rushed up from the west came over. Yu Minghao, who was preparing to attack the Japanese from behind the village, also appeared beside Xu Chaoyang.

Chang Zhan asked, "Where are they?"

"Don't mention it!"

The villager said with a lot of interjections: "There were about 20 people who destroyed a Japanese barracks. When the rest of the Japanese came up, these guys didn't care about their own lives at all. They rushed forward with guns and bombs, and were scattered by 70 to 80 Japanese."

"But it seems to me that these guys haven't had enough fun fighting. After losing ten of them, they are just chasing after the Japanese and giving up."

He even turned around and asked his fellow villagers: "Are you chasing Xiaqi?"

An old woman from the same village took over the conversation: "They were chasing after the devils. I even heard an official chasing after the devils and asking, 'Where is your emperor? Get him out!'"

Chang Zhan swallowed his saliva and asked with suspicion: "Chaoyang, could this person he said be Lao Huang?"

The villagers continued, "We don't know if his surname is Huang, but the leader is strong and muscular. He can easily destroy us two without any problem."

"Captain, it's Battalion Huang. I know the soldier who died at the entrance of the village. He was one of ours."

At this moment, Xu Chaoyang turned his head and looked at the entire village. The walls of the village were full of bullet holes and traces of grenade explosions everywhere!
But...why is this happening?

"Jia Qin!"

"To!"

Xu Chaoyang ordered: "Take your platoon and follow the route that Lao Huang took to provide support..."

"Remember, the Japanese are very accurate with their guns. They are probably retreating in the village just to distance themselves from Lao Huang and his men and not to suffer greater losses. Once you find Lao Huang and his men, you must hold them down and bring them back. You are absolutely not allowed to pursue them any further."

"report!"

The former squad leader, now Xu Chaoyang's communications soldier, shouted behind him, and then handed him a small box in his hand: "I saw this around!"
