War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 265: A stick can only hit a wolf, and both sides are afraid! (Thanks to '轻笔惊文' for the 500 reward!)
Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff!

Bullets kept hitting the bunkers, and the soldiers in the first line of defense lowered their heads and half-crouched and half-knelt to avoid them. Bullets kept falling around them. At this moment, Xu Chaoyang slightly exposed half of his eyes on the bunker, and saw the Japanese soldiers flowing to both sides in a diversionary posture under the night sky illuminated by the white snow...

rifle?

With so many infantrymen being split at the same time, they could only be the riflemen in the devil's army, but what did the Japanese army want to do by relying on rifles to split? Using rifle groups to launch a pincer attack?

Are they crazy?

Aren’t you afraid that heavy firepower may be deployed on both sides of your position?

The Japanese don’t fight like this!

When Xu Chaoyang saw the incomprehensible tactics, his mind was full of question marks, but the distance between the two sides gave him enough time to think. He had to come up with a plan to deal with the changes on the entire battlefield within this limited time.

"Give me the order!"

"Artillerymen take out the firepower in front of us and relieve the pressure!"

"Yes!"

A soldier ran back, and at the same time, the sound of artillery boomed in the village—boom! boom! boom!

Every three shells were aimed at the explosion point right in front of them. Even if they missed, they would temporarily shut down the Type 99 light machine guns. Under the cover of artillery fire and smoke, they were lowering their heads to avoid the invasion of shrapnel and air waves.

boom! boom! boom!
Another three shells were fired, and then three more. Xu Chaoyang's artillery was exerting full force. At the moment when the entire frontal firepower was completely suppressed, a fierce battle suddenly broke out in the forest on the right!
Da da da da da!
boom! boom! boom!
Four hundred meters to the right, the troops sent by Xu Chaoyang to provide flanking fire engaged in a firefight with the diverted Japanese rifle group. The reason why Wang Tianhao was able to withstand the Japanese tide's offensive was that this group of Japanese threw all their light machine guns to the front of the battlefield. But even so, the battle was still dangerous, as they had completely lost the help of flanking fire.

As soon as the two sides fought, without knowing each other, it turned into a chaotic fight where both sides were afraid of each other...

"Enemy on the left!"

Liu Gener, who had just rushed into the bunker, set up a machine gun directly. At the moment when all the enemy troops stopped within 400 meters and no longer advanced, he seized the opportunity to open fire first, not giving the Japanese time to find bunkers. He led the soldiers on the left side of the entire front line to shoot at the Japanese position 400 meters away.

Da da da da da!
Da da da da da!
Even so, Xu Chaoyang did not give the order for the entire army to open fire.

But Sasaki has already smiled!
At the rear of the battlefield, Sasaki stood in the drifting snow, depicting the entire battlefield with a pencil. In that small notebook, he used × to mark a horizontal line to record the machine gun data, and used ⊙ to record the location of the artillery positions after the horizontal line.

Yes, Sasaki did hit the right rhythm by accident, and thus figured out the structural layout of Xu Chaoyang's half of the front line and the location of the artillery positions, but who says that being right by mistake doesn't count?
This is a battlefield!

As long as you can win, even if you are confused the whole time, sorry, you are also a famous general!

After the war, naturally, someone will go back to analyze your completely unreasonable tactical intentions, and use the most gorgeous words to turn all the unreasonableness into reasonable genius ideas, which will amaze the world.

"Communications team!"

Several soldiers rushed over. They were carrying Type 38 rifles like ordinary soldiers. The only difference was that each of them was carrying a leather backpack.

Snapped.

"Inform General Saito and tell him that we have discovered the enemy's strongest force trying to seize the Northeastern Heights and intend to annihilate them at Baitaizi." Then, his tough tone softened: "But I need support. Ask General Saito to pull the artillery positions of the entire 14th Brigade back to a position that can reach Baitaizi, and form a pincer attack with our infantry positions to destroy Baitaizi!"

He handed over the notebook in his hand, then turned around and shouted, "Pass my order, order my troops on both wings to do their best to stalemate with the enemy. No one is allowed to get close before the artillery support arrives!"

When the entire group of signal soldiers were divided into several directions to convey the order, Sasaki looked at the battlefield ahead and exhaled: "On the battlefield, whoever is exposed first will die. The commander of the opposing army doesn't seem to understand this very well..."

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Right in front of the battlefield, Xu Chaoyang watched as his artillery, after multiple attacks, had completely destroyed three of the Japanese machine gun positions. However, the Japanese riflemen on both wings did not seem to have the desire to launch a strong offensive and were just shooting at them from a long enough distance. He was like an old Chinese doctor who had felt the pulse of a ghost and had no idea how to draw any conclusions.

The situation in which the Japanese used to charge and attack fiercely with their weapon advantage has disappeared. They are now ready to fight a war of attrition, and have taken the initiative to put the machine gun positions within the range of the artillery to be eaten by them...

This kind of fighting style... Not only had he never seen it before, he had never even heard of it in history!

Thinking of this, Xu Chaoyang immediately picked up the telescope and looked at the sky behind the Japanese army from behind the bunker. The dark night was covered with dark clouds, and he could not see whether there were any balloons rising in the sky for observation. Besides, even if there were balloons for observation in this kind of weather, they would never be able to see his location, let alone provide effective information to the artillery.

broken!

Xu Chaoyang immediately turned around and shouted: "Pass my order, the artillery position will be moved immediately!"

"Mount the artillery, evacuate the white platform immediately, and find another suitable location to hide!!!"

After Xu Chaoyang summarized the situation exposed by his side, he felt the danger: clear coordinates, clear position, exposed firepower... Putting these three points together, no matter who the opponent is, even if he is a fool, the final result can only be shelling the enemy's position.

The only thing he could be thankful for was that the Japanese were still unaware of his true strength and were planning to use soldiers on both wings to hold down the position and prevent his troops from moving.
At this moment, the only favorable condition for him on the battlefield was that the communication speed between the two sides was too slow. The troops that rushed to retake the Baitaizi position could only move forward lightly, without being able to bring artillery, and the grenade launchers were not enough to reach the Baitaizi position within their own shooting range.

This is his only chance to change his disadvantage on the battlefield!

but……

"Qu Yong!"

"Go call Liu Gener back and tell him that I need his machine gun support. Have the commander of the first battalion of the 218th Regiment keep a close eye on the left position and hold off the enemy's offensive. This will buy us time to use the flank firepower to take out the enemy's flanking forces."

"Everyone else is only allowed to carry bullets in their pockets and guns in their hands. Everyone, prepare to move and launch an attack on the enemy's flank!"

"Order the pistol company in the village to enter the position with Japanese weapons to reinforce the defense and hold a stalemate with the machine guns on the front battlefield..." "Act immediately, there is no time to lose!"

"Wang Tuan!"

"Wang Tuan!!!"

"Wang Tuan!!!!"

Xu Chaoyang was yelling in the position. After a while, a figure from the village rushed to the front line. When he got close to Xu Chaoyang, he hid behind the cover and looked at Xu Chaoyang, gasping for breath: "What's wrong, Chaoyang?"

"Commanders, follow the army and kill with me, quickly!"

"Jia Qin, repeat my previous order to Wang Tuan."

Xu Chaoyang turned around and left, running and jumping along the position, digging with his hands and feet, rushing back to the village in the hail of bullets. Along the way, bullets kept falling beside him, and the sound of breaking through the air rang next to his ears. This was not intentional by the enemy, but was entirely caused by stray bullets on the battlefield. Fortunately, Xu Chaoyang broke through and rushed to the location of the hidden rail-rail armored vehicle in the village, opened the door and got in.

At this time, the rail-rail vehicle, which had already been refueled, started quickly. Then, several soldiers got on the vehicle and controlled the machine guns at the same time. When the headlights came on, Xu Chaoyang drove the vehicle directly along the road!
Under the cover of night, an armored behemoth was speeding towards the edge of the flank guarded by Wang Tianhao. Along the way, when the armored vehicle passed by, all the soldiers who were ready to transfer rushed to the back of the vehicle. The machine gun positions on the front battlefield of the Japanese army seemed to have noticed this and opened fire in this direction!
"Suppressive fire!"

Xu Chaoyang gave orders from inside the car, and three machine guns opened fire on the machine gun positions on the front battlefield that had not yet been destroyed by artillery...

Da da da da da da!

Da da da da da!
Under the machine gun fire, the shooting accuracy of the Japanese soldiers lying on the ground must be higher than that of the machine guns that were constantly shaking on the armored vehicles. For a while, the soldiers rushing out from the position were constantly knocked down!
Some soldiers had puffs of blood blown off by the Type 99 machine gun bullets as they advanced along the road; some soldiers were hit by stray bullets on the battlefield and fell headfirst as soon as they emerged from their positions!
In the battle to seize the initiative on the battlefield, the number of deaths was no longer a consideration. All Xu Chaoyang was thinking about was how to quickly get out of the Baitaizi village to prevent the entire army from suffering the inevitable bombardment.

But he couldn't say this, otherwise there wouldn't be even one person willing to hold his ground, and no one would help suppress the machine gun fire on the opposite side of the front line... Sometimes, battlefield commanders can only lose their conscience and become liars, all of which comes from being forced!

"Quick, get into position and take over the defense!"

"Hurry up!"

The pistol company finally arrived, but what they held in their hands were no longer pistols, but the Type 99 rifles and Type 38 rifles used by the Japanese army in Baitai.

After more than a hundred people entered the position, they used machine guns and rifles in a stable posture to suppress the machine gun position directly opposite the defense line, which allowed the large force to begin to steadily move behind the armored vehicles.

At this time, the landing points of the machine gun bullets on the armored vehicle were gradually decreasing, and the sparks like hammering on the whole body of the vehicle were slowly extinguishing. The moment the "ping-pong" sounds in Xu Chaoyang's ears disappeared, the sound of gunfire from the machine guns on the armored vehicle and the G98 behind him continuously firing at the Japanese machine gun positions also came.

They were forced to turn the positional defense into an offensive, and their confidence came from the weapons in their hands!
……

At the artillery position southwest of Baitaizi, Man Guangzhi frowned as he looked at the battlefield through his scissor mirror. The artillery fire from Baitaizi's position had already begun. According to the prior agreement, he should form a cross-fire field with Baitaizi to bombard the Japanese army...

However, the Japanese only left machine guns on the front battlefield, and let the infantry stalemate with Baitai from both sides. Which side should they attack?

"Has the battalion commander's order arrived?" Man Guangzhi turned his head and asked.

Behind him stood seven Type 92 infantry guns and a field of ammunition boxes. A soldier responded, "Full platoon, no new orders from the White House."

This made Man Guangzhi even more worried!
How could he fight without orders? Where was his attack point on a battlefield with such a scattered front?
At this moment, several car lights lit up in the white platform, and trucks began to withdraw from the village under the cover of night. Before Man Guangzhi could figure out the intentions of these cars, on the other side, the Japanese iron-shelled turtles came out with their head lights on!
Man Guangzhi almost broke his neck by walking along the two routes. He found that the direction of the headlights was actually the side and rear of Baitaizi. This was obviously not the route to prepare for the battle. The direction of the rail-type armored vehicles was heading towards the large number of Japanese troops who were fighting a war of attrition with their own flank positions...

"No need to wait for orders!"

"All guns, turn around and aim at the Japanese concentration in the direction of the armored vehicles. Get ready!"

"One test shot, fire!"

tom!
……

On the battlefield, on the flank of Baitaizi, the Japanese army had just stabilized their newly arranged front line and was fighting a war of attrition with the soldiers in front of them, when suddenly a fire exploded below the dark hill - boom!

A huge explosion was heard, but the Japanese troops stationed at high points were fine, after all, the shell did not land accurately on the top of the mountain. However, the shattered rocks and broken logs on the mountain caused great suffering to the Japanese soldiers on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain.

The irregular landing points and the unclear trajectory made it impossible for the Japanese soldiers to hide or avoid them. They had no idea where the rocks would fall from the dust stirred up by the mountain, and no one could estimate...

"Ono, you are a good shooter. Aim at the opposite position and shoot down the machine gunner!" But at this moment, the Japanese army was still fighting.

The squad leader who was giving orders had just said this to Ono, who had the best marksmanship, when a basin-sized rock broke away from the dust and fell down from the mountaintop...

Woo!
A strong wind hit the top of his head, and as soon as the team leader turned around, he saw a black shadow passing by - snap!
The arc wrapped in smoke and dust was still in the air, but two meters behind him, a sound of something being smashed was heard.

When the team leader looked back again, Ono's entire chest was dented by the basin-sized, irregular boulder. The stone was stuck on Ono's body and slowly swayed downwards until it rolled off Ono's body and then stopped after rolling another four or five meters.

boom!
boom!
boom!
But at this moment, artillery shells were exploding everywhere among the mountains. When the entire flank position of the Japanese army was being engulfed by artillery fire, countless shells also began to explode in the Baitaizi position and villages!

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
On a battlefield with artillery shells flying around, people can no longer be counted as a unit, because the unit of calculation under artillery fire is area...

"Where did they get the second artillery position!"

When Sasaki saw the fire exploding on the flank position, his eyes almost popped out. How could he know that this was the result of Man Guangzhi's hesitation, not knowing what to do!
　Thanks to my brother 'Qingbijingwen' for the reward of 500 yuan. I am very grateful.

　　Still writing, still writing, still writing!
