War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 271 The whole army is at the service of their lives! (Thanks to '炸快乐水' for the reward)

This was the first time Xu Chaoyang saw so many Japanese devils. They were a bit like lotus flowers in a pond. No matter how many you knocked down, in the blink of an eye they would rush out from the darkness all over the mountains and plains.

At this moment, Xu Chaoyang was already in a trance, with bullet beams flying around him. He was no longer holding the pistol he used to command the battle, but the MG30 that originally belonged to the soldiers after the machine gunner next to him was knocked down. The ammunition man was helping him on the side. If it weren't for the strong firepower of the first battalion, I'm afraid this hilltop would not be able to hold out for even these few minutes.

"The main thing is to save ammunition!"

"The Japanese are not allowed to get close to the 30-meter area, and the machine guns are not allowed to fire continuously!!!"

At this time, tactics are no longer useful and shooting skills are no longer needed. As long as you point the gun at the Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the hill, even if you miss the target, the bullet will definitely pass through the crowd and hit another Japanese soldier behind the Japanese soldiers.

"Chaoyang, the devils are getting closer to the 30-meter area!"

"Grenade!"

Countless soldiers who had changed into the devil's equipment saw the Japanese army rushing up the hillside at the same second, and collectively picked up the 10-year-old grenades. These grenades were all picked from the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, but Xu Chaoyang was a man of integrity. How could he let his men do such a sneaky thing? What belongs to someone else must be returned to them, no matter what the method.

Swish!
After being knocked around, the grenades were thrown down the hillside...

The Japs who seemed to be rushing out from the gates of hell had no time to react. The sound of the explosion had already spread across the hillside that had been baptized by artillery fire - boom!

The Japanese soldiers who were rushing up the hillside were thrown up by the explosion. When their bodies fell to the ground and rolled down, they were knocked down like bowling balls, but the same explosions continued...

boom! boom! boom!
The continuous explosions finally cleared out most of the Japanese soldiers in sight. Machine guns were firing in bursts under the explosions to clear out the remaining Japanese soldiers, but this did not mean that the shooting was ineffective as the Japanese soldiers rushed upwards.

The ammunition handler next to Xu Chaoyang was knocked down by a standing Japanese soldier when he was replacing the side magazine of an MG30. The young soldier, who was half crouching and half lying, had just reached out to knock on the newly loaded magazine when he fell headfirst down the hillside.

Xu Chaoyang continued firing his machine gun expressionlessly, and shouted, "Another ammunition carrier!"

He has already been numbed.

It's not the physical numbness of the limbs, but the psychological inability to feel anything when facing life and death.

In this intensive charge of the Japanese alone, Xu Chaoyang personally shot down more than twenty Japanese soldiers, and the machine gunners, ammunition handlers, and riflemen beside him had already cleared out two full rounds of bullets fired by the Japanese with their rifles.

Even in the most dangerous time, when the Japanese had already rushed to the top of the hill, a soldier simply stood up and pushed them down the hillside with a rifle with a bayonet already attached.

Unfortunately, the soldier could not be saved. As soon as he killed the man, he was targeted by four or five Type 38 rifles and several bullets pierced his chest.

At this moment, the corpse was lying two meters in front of Xu Chaoyang. Occasionally, it would slide a little down the mountain due to the shouting and killing of the Japanese and his own people.

boom!
Amid the dense gunfire, the sound of gunfire was no longer so obvious, but when Xu Chaoyang heard this sound that was clearly different from the other gunshots with his own ears, he felt as if his ear was hit by the tip of a stick and he tilted his head away.

He quickly observed the battlefield and found a Japanese officer in the crowd holding a Nambu-style pistol and shooting at him. He pointed the butt of the pistol at the man and pulled the trigger directly...

Da da da!
Three bullets exploded a bloody mist in the opponent's lower abdomen, chest and throat. Xu Chaoyang didn't even aim, and killed him easily relying on the gun sense he had gained from years of fighting. He didn't even have time to touch the wound on his ear, and let the blood flow down his neck blackened by the war into his clothes.

"Kill!" He continued to shoot while still roaring, and his neck muscles trembled during the roar.

In fact, it is normal for anyone to die in such an environment. Being able to survive is God's love for us. Anyway, Xu Chaoyang has killed so many Japanese devils, so what is there to complain about?
Vigorous shouts of killing rang out to the sky. The first battalion was guarding the top of the hill with all its strength. However, due to its location, the other hillside behind it could only shoot at the middle of the continuously replenished Japanese troops and could only knock down some of the enemy's men by relying on the shooting range. Even so, they were still suppressed by the enemy's machine guns.

……

"brigadier!!!"

Dong Shengtang was staring at the battlefield filled with constant gunfire, and was stunned as he stepped on the snow-covered ground. It was not that he did not want to help, but when he saw the dense Japanese troops occupying all the open space in front of the white platform, everyone would have to swallow hard and think about it.

There was no point for them to rush in with such a small number of people. The most they could do was choose a place with good feng shui to fire at the Japanese army's flank, waiting to be surrounded by the Japanese army and face the same fate as Xu Chaoyang.

This is the entire 14th Brigade. With this kind of troop coverage, the only choice Brigade Zhao has to make is to watch the 217th Regiment being wiped out or to join in and die with the enemy.

Is this a difficult choice?

tom!
tom!
tom!
At this moment, the sound of artillery fire suddenly rang out from a thousand meters behind Baitaizi, which made Zhao Lu turn his head sharply. After staring at the location where the artillery fire sounded, he was attracted back by the sound of explosions on the battlefield.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Balls of flames exploded on the battlefield, but Brigade Zhao felt that the person who fired the cannon was a lunatic!!!
The place where the shell exploded was very close to the hill where Xu Chaoyang was. It was not a single test fire, but a concentrated fire attack. Otherwise, the artillery fire accompanied by the sound of the death bell would not have been able to explode in more than a dozen places along the Japanese marching route and cut off the flow of people.

When the strong wind blew onto the hill, it had turned into a strong wind that was harmless to the human body. It was not until the artillery fire stopped the flow of the Japanese troops like a gate that Xu Chaoyang had time to catch his breath after killing all the Japanese troops on the hillside.

When he looked at the world again, the place that should have been covered with white snow had been turned into scorched earth by artillery fire, trampled into wetlands by crowds of people, and covered with pits and holes of snow stained red by blood and melted by corpses. In the vastness, there were still some places covered with snow that remained on this land, as if telling the mottled stories of cruelty.

But Xu Chaoyang could only shout: "Change! Ammunition..."

He was exhausted, and the relaxation he had just felt made his head dizzy. He wanted to shout something out loud, but the last two words drifted away in his breath.

It was then that Xu Chaoyang reached out and touched his ear. The stinging pain told him that the bullet had hit his scalp so hard that it left a mark on his ear. There was even a wound on the scalp behind his ear caused by the bullet's airflow.

Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!
Before Xu Chaoyang could recover from the dizziness, the sound of cannon fire rang out again behind the white platform.

At the rear of the white platform, Man Guangzhi was as busy as a jumping monkey, shuttling back and forth between each cannon. His artillerymen were listening to his orders and fiddling with the firing range while quickly unloading shells and reloading them!
"Target!"

"Southeast 1400, muzzle raised... tilted to the left... one round of fifteen rounds, no test fire... fire!"

As soon as he finished shouting this, Man Guangzhi returned to the scissor mirror again, recalling the position of the artillery behind the 14th Brigade on the battlefield just now, and shouted: "Reload!"

"The Type 14 Infantry Gun continues to attack the Japanese troops of the 217th Brigade attacking the mountain. Fire three times in a row to buy some breathing time for the th Regiment. Fire!"

tom!tom!tom!
tom!tom!tom!
"Type 14 mountain gun, Type 2000 howitzer, Type field gun, target the artillery position meters behind the th Brigade, test fire one round!"

tom!
tom!
tom!
The Type 14 infantry guns could not reach the artillery positions behind the th Brigade, so Man Guangzhi did not let the Type infantry guns touch that place. Instead, after catching up with the trucks, he quickly unloaded the trucks and ordered all the Type infantry guns to quickly reinforce the battlefield. As for the Type howitzers and Type field guns, Man Guangzhi had never used them before, so he did not know which ones could reach and which ones could not. He could only roughly judge the range and firepower by the firing range. Swish.

In the distance, at a position that was almost invisible, flames squeezed the edge of the field of vision and burst into huge flames. Man Guangzhi was so worried about the 217th Regiment that was fighting!
He was afraid that without artillery support, the 217th Regiment would not be able to hold out; even with artillery support, he was still afraid that if the Japanese army's offensive route was blocked by artillery shells, the enemy's artillery fire would appear...

Therefore, he had to watch his men adjust the muzzle of the Type 217 infantry gun to aim at Xu Chaoyang's position. While they could not blow up 14, he had to use those guns that had not been used much to aim at the artillery positions behind the th Brigade. Even so, he didn't know if he could hit the target, so he had to give it a try.

After the sky illuminated by three balls of fire slowly lost its light, a flash of light appeared in the sky again!
At that moment, Man Guangzhi immediately turned around and asked, "Did I only fire three rounds?"

One of his soldiers answered with certainty: "Full platoon, three shots!"

"It hit, it definitely hit, otherwise there wouldn't be a secondary explosion!"

"Type 41 mountain cannon, Type 91 howitzer, Type 38 field cannon... one test shot, it's three!" Man Guangzhi counted on his fingers, he was also nervous!
"All platoons, except for the Type 92 infantry guns, all guns, load shells, and each gun fires three rounds at a rapid pace, quick!"

"I will make sure your artillery positions will never fire in this lifetime!"

Man Guangzhi was very quick. Ever since he caught up with the truck and took over the artillery position, he had been estimating the location of the Japanese artillery position through the telescope. At such a long distance, just measuring the distance took him a lot of time, which allowed the entire round of artillery fire to fall around the hill where Xu Chaoyang was.

In order to calculate the parameters accurately, Man Guangzhi calculated them three times repeatedly, and only when he was sure did he order the artillery to open fire!
It was also during this period that Xu Chaoyang was targeted by the Japanese.

But, is Man Guangzhi really cruel?

"Full platoon, the Japanese soldiers split up on the battlefield and are coming towards us."

Man Guangzhi saw it, of course he saw it!
"What are you shouting about? It's expected."

Yes, Man Guangzhi had thought of all this a long time ago. As long as he dared to blow up the Japanese artillery positions, the Japanese would have to send a force here at the risk of their lives.

"put!"

But Man Guangzhi remained calm and composed. This was just his personality. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to complain to his second sister when Xu Chaoyang was targeting the First Battalion. If he did not have such a patient personality, he would have quit long ago. In this era, how could you serve in the army without eating food?
tom!tom!tom!
tom!tom!tom!
tom!tom!tom!
The three artillery pieces continued to fire, but the Japanese in the distance were constantly closing the distance between the two sides. After firing these three shots, Man Guangzhi had done his best. As for whether he could hit the target, he didn't even think about it.

"Type 92 infantry guns, continue bombarding the battlefield. Everyone else, put on your bayonets!"

"Don't fire the artillery. Tie the grenades to the tripwires and throw them into the ammunition boxes! Listen carefully, we are artillerymen. We will fight if we can win, and run if we can't. Even if the Japanese seize the artillery position, we still have to provide them with food!"

"This is a country of etiquette!"

"Ready to fight!"

Man Guangzhi took out the pistol given to him by Xu Chaoyang. This gun represents the entire process of his targeting Xu Chaoyang in the First Battalion, to being valued by Xu Chaoyang, and finally becoming the platoon leader of the first platoon of Xu Chaoyang's first company.

Man Guangzhi touched the gun with great care, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...

Da da da da da da!

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Under the cover of night, before Man Guangzhi and his forty men could take action, another group of people were intercepted by the Japanese army halfway. However, the battle happened in a very strange way. Man Guangzhi felt that it seemed like the Japanese were fighting among themselves, otherwise how could a Type 99 rifle sweep across the Type 38 rifle?
Damn!
Just as Man Guangzhi was wondering, his men raised their hands and fired a shot at the side. In the shadows in the distance, dust was rising. Man Guangzhi then turned around with his gun and aimed, but no one showed their heads at the bottom of the low slope. Someone shouted, "Don't shoot, I'm from the 109th Regiment of the 224th Brigade!"

"Brigade Commander Zhao asked me to inform you that you can fight without restraint. Don't worry about the Japanese. We will deal with any Japanese who want to get close to the artillery position!"

Group 224?
Brigade 109?
Has support arrived?

Man Guangzhi was more cautious and shouted in that direction: "Don't come over here, I have buried mines all around. If you come over here, we will destroy the artillery positions together!"

"Go back and tell Brigade Zhao that I am from the 217st Battalion of the th Regiment... and obey orders!"

How could he have the time to lay mines? Just calculating all the parameters would take his brain a lot, how could he possibly be distracted!

At this moment, Man Guangzhi turned around again and whispered to his men, "Go around the perimeter and send a few people out to guard."

Until now, he didn't even have time to send out the sentinels before he remembered it!

"Yes!"

A squad went down in three directions, but the situation on the battlefield was still like a fog.

At the two hills where Xu Chaoyang was located and the artillery position behind Baitaizi where Man Guangzhi was located, the 217th and 224th Regiments respectively fought with the Japanese. The Japanese army was already moving in an overwhelming manner near Baitaizi. Although the 29th Army had thrown in two full regiments of troops, it looked like pouring a drop of oil into a glass of water.

……

"Quick! Quick!"

"Old Yang, can you do it?"

"This is the 14th Brigade of the Japanese. If we run into any problems, the Japanese will react. We don't have Type rifles or Type rifles!"

"Don't worry, we have tested this thing many times!"

Lao Yang was standing less than two hundred meters away from the battlefield, protected by countless soldiers of the 29th Army. Behind him were Wang Zhibang of the 110th Brigade and Tong Zeguang of the 113th Brigade. Further back, Liu Ruming of the 29nd Division of the 29th Army had already occupied the beachhead and was available for reinforcement at any time. In other words, the decisive battle between the 14th Army and the th Brigade was about to begin!
