War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 253 You die yours, we talk about ours

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

At a checkpoint, Second Battalion Commander Liu Bin stood on the city wall and shouted loudly!
Next to him was a battlement that had been shattered by the bombardment and a dark wall covered with the flesh and blood of his men.

The second battalion commander's third platoon had been wiped out. If they hadn't arrived in time, the Japs would have led their troops into the deserted land with corpses all over the ground. But God will not abandon China!

The second battalion commander finally arrived and quickly deployed defenses on the city wall where the artillery fire never stopped. But after he arrived, he realized how aggrieved the platoon under his command was!

The Japanese didn't come up at all. They first bombarded the top of the city with artillery, and then began to concentrate their fire on the west side of the city wall. They had no intention of coming up to compete with you in shooting, but to blow down the wall in one fell swoop and then drive the tanks in.

Liu Bin was so bombarded that he wanted to rush out and bite all the Japanese in front of him to death. They were really helpless with their German equipment. If they had known that this would happen once the gate was closed, they should not have left all the IG18s at Xifengkou for the sake of marching speed. Otherwise, they could at least launch a few counterattacks...

But to be honest, if Liu Bin really transported IG18 here, he probably wouldn't even have the chance to climb up the city wall.

Even for this, he had to benefit from the ancients' superb technology in building city walls, otherwise their entire camp would have been scrapped!

"Fight to the death! Fight to the death!!"

Liu Bin didn't know who he was shouting to. He just wanted to shout out the anger in his heart...

"Captain, we can't fight like this anymore. Isn't this just like standing on the city wall and waiting to be bombed?"

boom!
Another shell hit the wall, and the shockwaves seemed to shake the entire wall.

The Type 99 rifle, which had a great advantage on the battlefield in our country due to its accuracy and range, was stuck in an armored vehicle in the center of the battlefield and fired at the top of the city wall. It was shot by Liu Bin like a strong and powerful man dealing with a skinny monkey. The guy would take advantage of your slow movement, kick you and run away, and you really had no way to deal with it.

"Fight to the death!!!"

Liu Bin was so angry that he didn't know what else to say. He just kept repeating these two words...

"Report!!!"

"Battalion Commander, the regiment commander asked me to tell you that Brigade Commander Zhao has led his troops to Xifengkou. You must hold on. Within half a day, Brigade Commander Zhao will send the 218th Regiment to take over the defense!"

"What did you say!" Liu Bin almost cried when he heard the news. Even though he had just arrived, this feeling... no one wanted to endure it again.

……

Xifengkou.

When Brigade Commander Zhao arrived with his team, he stood on the city wall and was stunned. He remembered that he usually brought a regiment with him, but there were only a few people on the city wall...

"Is it so tragic?"

Brigade Commander Zhao stood in front of Wang Changhai, allowing his soldiers to pass by him, but he always looked directly at them.

Wang Changhai pointed behind him and said, "On that hill alone, more than a hundred of our brothers were killed last night. We defended the hill all day, but we still lost dozens of men. In just one day and one night, my reinforced battalion lost nearly two companies of ordinary battalions. If Chaoyang hadn't been there..."

Brigade Commander Zhao didn't say anything, but the slight tremor of his lips said it all.

In two days, a regiment under his command suffered such heavy losses. This was not asking Wang Changhai to face the entire 8th Division, but to face a mixed brigade head-on. "There is still one more barrier." Lieutenant Zhao never expected that Wang Changhai had not finished speaking.

"The second battalion just arrived, and the third platoon of their battalion was wiped out. Those were Liu Bin's old family assets that he brought from the northwest. They were all our brothers who lived together day and night."

Brigade Commander Zhao put his hand on Wang Changhai's shoulder and said, "It will be fine." He turned around and shouted, "218th Regiment, take over the Northeast Highlands and the pass connected to it, and withdraw the 217th Regiment to rest."

After shouting, Wang Changhai lowered his head, not knowing what to say, while Brigade Commander Zhao looked at his right wing: "I have sent people to block the Iron Gate Pass. If there is no battle report before dawn, it means that we have blocked the Mishan Detachment outside the Iron Gate Pass. Wang Changhai, you only have one night to rest. After resting, you must return to the battlefield as soon as possible. You must know that your regiment is the most well-equipped in our brigade."

"Yes!"

"Someone come!" Wang Changhai finally relaxed from his fatigue and shouted, "Tell Xu Chaoyang to come down and tell him I'm Wang Changhai. Kill pigs and sheep for them!"

……

"Reinforcements!"

"Chaoyang, look, reinforcements are coming!"

When Chang Zhan on the top of the mountain began to pat Xu Chaoyang's shoulders excitedly and shouted this sentence with a beaming face, Xu Chaoyang began to really worry.

All the troops that the 217th Regiment could send out had been sent out. Even if Wang Changhai still had some troops, wouldn't he still have to defend Xifengkou? Where would the reinforcements come from? Unless the 109th Brigade arrived.

If Old Zhao came, this matter would be really difficult to handle.

First of all, the entire 109th Brigade is still equipped with Shanxi-imitation Type 30 rifles, and their machine guns are no match for the MG. How can they defend?
"Report! The 218th Regiment said they were ordered to come and take over the defense!"

As soon as the subordinate's report came out, Xu Chaoyang turned around and a chubby man said with a smile on his face: "Xu Chaoyang?"

"You're all I can hear lately!"

"In the Rehe battle, you killed Cui Xingwu and Zhang Haipeng. Now you are fighting against the Eighth Division. Well done!"

Xu Chaoyang smiled slightly, not daring to take credit for it, but what he saw was that most of the regiment's troops began to move into the fortifications. If so many people listened to him...

"The brigade commander has said that your 217th Regiment will be withdrawn to rest. Chaoyang, the captured Japanese equipment..."

Xu Chaoyang immediately understood the chubby man's intention and responded, "We won't take anything except our own equipment. We'll leave it all to you."

It's not that Xu Chaoyang is heartless, but if he doesn't leave enough equipment for these people, they will never be able to defend the Northeast Highlands. By that time, the whole brigade will be trapped in Xifengkou. What use will these equipment have?

"Ah!" The chubby man patted Xu Chaoyang's arm and said, "We are poor and have low ambitions. You don't know that the brigade commander said that before we came to support him, Lao Ding went to find the man surnamed He and wanted some weapons and equipment, so that we wouldn't have to fight so hard."

"That guy surnamed He is so good, he has blocked Lao Ding's words!"

Xu Chaoyang, who usually didn't pay much attention to politics, just remembered that when they were fighting fiercely at Xifengkou, the National Government was secretly negotiating with the Japanese invaders. For this reason, the man surnamed He even withdrew his troops to show his sincerity...

The people in the front are fighting desperately, while those in the back are negotiating peace. That feeling is so exhausting!

You blame the warlords for their own power, but is what you are doing humane?

At this moment, Xu Chaoyang took a look at the corpses on the mountain and wished that... he could kill eighteen generations of the Baldy's family, even that old nun!
