War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 263: The devil’s tower of heads!

Beachhead, 14th Brigade headquarters.

When Saito looked at the place in the distance where flames continued to appear, he no longer needed to look at the map. That place could only be Baitaizi, otherwise, there was no possibility of being attacked anywhere.

"report!"

"Our army's Sanjiazi garrison is under attack from the east and west sides of the enemy. The situation is critical. Please send reinforcements immediately!"

"report!"

"After Sanjiazi was attacked, I saw Caijiayu being attacked by artillery fire while returning to the beachhead. Due to the urgent military situation, I was unable to check what happened!"

"report!"

"Bai Tai Zi was bombarded by enemy artillery, and our troops were defeated by enemy armored forces in Bai Tai Zi!"

"idiot!!!"

Saito is going crazy!
He had been fighting the Chinese army for such a long time, but he had never heard of any unit being able to send out armored units. Besides, where did they get the cannons?

unless……

"How is the battle situation in Sanjiazi?" Saito asked the soldier in front of him anxiously.

"I have no idea!"

"When I came out, the enemy had already rushed into the village, but it didn't look like a single army at all. The troops that entered the village from the west were even better equipped than us. They had machine guns and grenades, and they almost never stopped along the way. The troops on the east were completely different. They carried machetes and hacked at everyone they saw. Some of them didn't even have guns..."

"Don't make any excuses for your defeat!"

"Hi!"

Saito couldn't figure it out. If this group of people were attacking in two directions and attacking Sanjiazi along two routes, the normal route should be to attack Lanqidi Village first, then Caijiayu, and finally come back to attack Sanjiazi to ensure that the entire battlefield behind the beach was cleared.

How could they just leave Lanqidi Village alone and split their troops into two groups and head straight for Sanjiazi?
Unless they already knew that Sanjiazi was the base of the 14th Brigade's mechanized troops, and knew that they had used a large number of infantry to assist in the defense of the southeastern highlands (the northeastern highlands of the 217th Regiment) and occupied Baitaizi as an artillery position when they attacked the beach the day before, they would know how much troops they used to deter a checkpoint and how much troops they used for other things if they knew their detailed deployment...

But...how could they know? !

I haven't heard that this army has such a powerful intelligence agency!
"Somebody come!"

"Someone is coming!!!"

"Brigade Commander!"

A Japanese soldier wearing a steel helmet quickly rushed to Saito, who was standing in the snow. "Immediately order the Sasaki Regiment to reinforce Baitaizi. There is no time to lose. Set off immediately!"

"Allow the Sasaki Regiment to select all the superior firepower in the brigade, quickly!"

Saito couldn't afford to lose face. If the loss of the high ground was just a small accident in this war, then the loss of Baitaizi would be a major defeat. Moreover, in this major defeat, Saito almost lost all the heavy artillery of the brigade. For a country like Japan that only values ​​heroes by "victory", this is simply unacceptable!

Saito didn't want to think about the three families' mechanical troops. In short, if he couldn't produce a satisfactory result tonight, as long as Nishi Yoshiichi heard the news tomorrow, Saito's good days would be over.

……

At midnight, outside the village of Baitaizi, the Sasaki Regiment rushed to Baitaizi after galloping all night without even taking a break. Even then, they were urged by two consecutive waves of communications soldiers from Saito, who ordered them to recapture Baitaizi as quickly as possible, regardless of any losses.

But as soon as he arrived at Baitaizi, Sasaki reined in his horse. He saw piles of human heads stretching forward. On the dead trees next to the human head piles, there were corresponding headless corpses that were tied around the waist with ropes and hung on the trees.

The scene was so horrifying that Sasaki saw the blood dripping from the corpses being frozen into ice crystals; he also saw the corpses, tied around the waist with ropes, swaying in the night wind, in a bowing posture. The corpses were all wearing their military uniforms, and the insult was like someone urinating on his neck in public.

"asshole!!!"

"asshole!!!"

"This is a complete disrespect to us. Come, collect the remains of our soldiers and bury them!"

Sasaki had to do this, he had no choice but to do this. If he just ignored it and walked past, what would his soldiers think? As a regiment commander, you didn't even deal with the remains of your men. Who would be willing to fight for you?

A group of soldiers rushed over, intending to collect the remains along the road. They had just picked up a head, and before they could feel the sticky feeling of frozen blood, they heard the sound of something breaking under the silent night sky...

Boom.

In the gap between the heads, a grenade rolled down with white smoke...

呲!
"Run!!"

One of the Japanese soldiers quickly stood up, turned around and ran away, one step, two steps... all his actions seemed to be in slow motion - boom!

A huge explosion occurred immediately, and several soldiers around were all pushed down by the air wave. When Sasaki subconsciously used his hands to cover his face, the warhorse under his crotch suddenly raised its hooves and began to roar.

bump.

Sasaki was thrown off his horse. When he was helped up by the soldiers, there was still dust in the air around him, and his nostrils were filled with the smell of gunpowder.

"idiot!!!"

Sasaki struggled to stand up with the help of his soldiers, then drew his sword and pointed at the white platform: "Warriors of my Yamato nation, charge up and kill everyone in the village, leaving no one alive!!!"

The enraged Japanese soldiers marched quickly towards the white platform, holding back their anger and hating this insulting revenge on the remains of their comrades. But not even one of them thought about what they had done after occupying the land of Northeast China!
"rush!!!"

The soldiers went from walking fast up the mountain road to jogging, and then from jogging to sprinting. When they were halfway up the mountain...

boom! ! !
Another explosion sounded, this time blowing away several Japanese soldiers' bodies, forcing others to subconsciously move out of the middle of the road and hide in the dense weeds on both sides... Boom!!!

The explosion came again.

"stop!"

“Stop moving forward!!!”

……

On Baitaizi, Xu Chaoyang lay on the battlefield, looking at the Japanese soldiers who were rushing towards the village but were forced to stop by grenades. He smiled, put his arm around the soldier's shoulder, shook him and said, "Now I know how annoying mine warfare is."

Isn't it annoying?
If you bomb one, the Japanese might be really angry. If you bomb a second one, everyone has to be extra careful. But if you bomb a third or fourth one, everyone will lose their mind!

This is not like a face-to-face fight where you cannot beat him, it's like when a dumb and reckless man is chasing a sharp-tongued skinny monkey, he cannot catch up with the man and can only listen to the cursing from the other side.

"Xu Ying, what is mine warfare?"

Xu Chaoyang smiled and pushed the boy's head, saying, "I'll find a chance to explain it to you later. It's a tactic that can kill a large area of ​​the enemy without the enemy even being able to see your shadow."
