War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 397 Do You Understand? (Thanks to 'Tool Room' for the 500 reward!)
Haiquan'er's hands were shaking a little. As a member of the old first company and the old first battalion, Lu Haiquan'er, who has now become a platoon leader, is a veteran soldier. But after hearing Chang Zhan's words, his hands began to shake inexplicably.

"Listen up!"

Chang Zhan came over, poking his head fiercely to the bottom of the earthen slope where the 217st Battalion of the th Regiment was on standby. When he got closer, he almost gave orders face to face to the soldiers in front of him.

"The first group of people who rushed forward are already dead!"

"The commander has issued a death order. Someone must rush to the city to provide fire support and clear a path for those who are tinkering with incendiary bombs. Let them rush to the city and drop incendiary bombs on top of the city walls."

"But I have to say this. This time we are not fighting a defensive battle. We don't have any bunkers or breastworks. If bullets come, the best you can do is lie down in the ditch..."

"A lot of people will die."

At this moment, Chang Zhan suddenly raised his voice: "Are you afraid?"

He felt that he should receive a more passionate response. After all, this was his unit, and it was he who led the unit to cross the northeast heights of Xifengkou.

But three seconds passed and there was no sound.

Xu Chaoyang is right...

At that time, Chang Zhan suddenly understood why Xu Chaoyang did this!
……

five minutes ago.

Xu Chaoyang on the slope had just issued an order when Chang Zhan came over after the messenger left: "Chaoyang, we can't fight like this anymore. How many lives will our brothers lose under the city gate if we continue fighting like this?"

"My third company and the three companies of the second and third battalions didn't even last a quarter of an hour when we rushed over. There were not many gunshots from under the city wall... You are letting your brothers feed the bullets with their bodies!"

He felt that this was caused by Xu Chaoyang's wrong order or lack of consideration. Those were three companies of soldiers and human lives!

Chang Zhan at the moment is at the stage when Xu Chaoyang just became the battalion commander. He still has human life in his eyes and warmth in his body. He thinks that the living people around him are his brothers. Just like Xu Chaoyang at the beginning, he gives the most sincere emotions.

In the past two years, they have attended so many weddings in Dagu that they lost count. They also watched the bachelors in the regiment get married in Dagu after receiving their military pay. Whether they rented or bought houses, they finally lived a peaceful life. How could they be thrown onto the battlefield without being cherished?
But Xu Chaoyang has changed.

He said to Chang Zhan in an almost ruthless manner: "Then why don't you go and talk to Yin Rugeng and ask him to open the city gate?"

"This is an order!"

"The order given to me by the higher-ups is to capture Yin Rugeng. No one will care if I break my teeth while gnawing at the city gate!"

Xu Chaoyang turned his head away, and seemed to have lost his humanity: "But these people are the brothers you brought up personally..." Chang Zhan looked into Xu Chaoyang's eyes, full of incomprehension, just like when Xu Chaoyang did not understand the battle damage report casually spoken by the top bigwigs.

"Is it my brother?"

Xu Chaoyang grabbed Chang Zhan's shoulder with his clothes, pointed at the top of the city wall with his other hand and shouted, "Where are the things I taught you, my brothers?"

"How do you use cross-fire to suppress enemy fire?"

"What kind of bullet density can make a crooked handle rifle unable to lift its head?"

"What tactics did you and I use when we were fighting the Japanese?"

"Look at me clearly!"

boom!Boom!

Da da da da da!
The chaos of the firepower on the top of the city wall was so terrible that it couldn't even compare to a single hair of the Japanese soldier's leg, but the soldiers of the 217th Regiment under the city were even more terribly chaotic!
They used H34Y rifles, which could be fired without pulling the bolt, and the magazine had a capacity of ten rounds. Each person was equipped with a spare magazine that could be replaced at any time.

They were using the MG30 light machine gun, the firing rate of which had made the Japanese flee in panic two years ago, but now the machine gunners could not even stand outside the city...

Chang Zhan also saw that the soldiers of the 217th Regiment, who originally had a good foundation in shooting, actually shot their bullets halfway up the city wall under such circumstances. They couldn't even do basic aiming.

"Are you still the group of people that I brought up personally?"

Xu Chaoyang looked at Chang Zhan with a look of confusion, and finally suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Ah!"

"There's no fucking war without cover!!"

"You won't train well if there's no war?"

"Without my personal supervision, you dare to slack off on the battlefield?"

How much Xu Chaoyang wanted to tell him, how much he wanted to grab his ears and tell him that it was not that he, Xu, did not feel sorry for his brothers, or did not know how hard and tired their brothers were in the training ground, but that once the war broke out in the future, when they really had to face that damn army that had rested for two years on our territory, if a sloppy 217th Regiment was called up, maybe the whole army would be wiped out!
But what can he say?
Can he say, "Chang Zhan, listen carefully, I know the future..."?

He could only let his men watch and see what it was like to be dragged onto the battlefield without sufficient training!

Didn't I give you enough time to train?
what?
Why don't you persuade? Why don't you speak?
When your parents advised you to study hard, did you listen?

When your boss at work advises you to work hard, don't you just slack off?

If the 217th Regiment had not left behind hundreds of lives today, the soldiers who already had wives and children in Dagu would no longer be soldiers, but ordinary people who had fired guns, fought in battles, and killed people. …

"All... follow the armored vehicle."

Galala lala.

The armored vehicle captured by the 217th Regiment had been parked behind the earth slope without moving. The welded Oerlikon 20mm machine gun on it was still gleaming coldly in the moonlight. The gunner was fighting on it at this time, but he still had the leisure time to smoke a cigarette in his mouth.

Yes, they had been feeling suffocated in the woods these past few days, but at this moment, Chang Zhan finally realized how important everything Xu Chaoyang said was.

He climbed onto the vehicle, raised his hand and grabbed the soldier standing in the hole of the armored vehicle and pulled him out by the armpit, then threw him to the ground. Then he knocked on the hood of the vehicle twice and shouted, "Drive towards the top of the city, and push to the 200-meter position."

Then Chang Zhan turned his head and shouted to the people behind him: "Remember, the whole battalion will be spread out horizontally with the machine gun as the core, and the distance between people must be more than five meters, just like when I tied you up with ropes to train you in Chahar. Don't let the bastards on the top of the city wall sweep you away with a volley of bullets."

After shouting this, Chang Zhan picked up the butt of the Oerlikon gun with steel plates, and said with a frown along the gap between the two steel plates: "Your life is your own!"

"drive!"

Gala la la la!
The rail-road armored vehicle drove out from behind the earth slope. As soon as it entered the cornfield, Chang Zhan aimed at the top of the city wall and opened fire!
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Oerlikon bullets were sprayed towards the top of the city wall at a distance of nearly six or seven hundred meters. When the 20 mm bullets directly hit the battlements on the wall and made a small hole, a faint blue smoke rose.

Snapped!
A corner of the wall between the battlements that was hit by multiple bullets was directly shattered when it was hit by Oerlikon again. The stone chips brushed against the ears of the security soldiers in the gap of the battlements and penetrated into his neck, just cutting off the artery - sizzle!

Blood spurted out on the spot, and the soldier couldn't cover it with his hands. Within a few seconds, he went from covering his neck with forceful movements to falling down in a limp posture.

"kill!!!!"

Chang Zhan was holding Oerlikon and shouting on the battlefield. He had no time to care whether the raised end of the armored vehicle was pressing on the ditch or the corpses of his own people. But when sparks came out of the steel plate in front of Oerlikon, he saw the machine guns on the top of the city clearly...

"Bring two machine guns, station them here, and suppress the crooked-handled guns on top of the city wall!!!"

At Chang Zhan's command, four soldiers lay down at the foot of the armored vehicle and pulled the trigger towards the flashing lights of machine guns in the night - bang, bang, bang, bang.

They don't need accuracy, they just need to keep the area around the machine gun point under constant attack from bullets.

Sure enough, as soon as the bullets were laid, the machine gun point immediately went silent, and it was unclear whether the soldier inside was hiding his head from the bullets or being hit. Anyway, this side was actually under the alternating firepower of the two light machine guns conducting non-stop strafing, and the ammunition supply operator continued to provide magazines full of bullets.

To be honest, it is difficult to hit someone with a machine gun at this distance by aiming with the naked eye, but if you control the bullet in one direction as much as possible without the requirement of killing the enemy, you can still do it.

Four hundred meters...

The shadows of people could be seen swaying on the top of the city like black dots. Chang Zhan held the Oerlikon and started to fire at the top of the city, trying to keep the bullets at a similar level. At the same time, the other two machine guns on the armored vehicle were also firing, but they were still not accurate. The armored vehicle was hit more and more frequently by bullets. The armored vehicle was a much larger target than a person.

Three hundred meters.

Sparks kept flying from the armored vehicle. This time, not only Chang Zhan, but also other soldiers in the cornfield could see the figure in the distance. The sound of H34Y gunfire began to ring around them. The entire armored vehicle's bullet-receiving area became larger and larger, and Chang Zhan's ears were filled with the sound of "ding-dong".

"On the left wall, four MG30s are firing in a circle, and the riflemen keep moving forward!"

Gala la la la!
Just as the armored vehicle started again, the soldiers next to the armored vehicle were mowed down by the machine guns on the city wall, and the corn stalks next to them were cut off one by one. When the blood mist burst from the soldiers' chests, it splashed onto the lush green corn stalks, adding a touch of sadness to the fields that should have had a good harvest.

Two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters!

The stretched battle line was completely covered by corn fields. When Chang Zhan could no longer see how many people were left around him, he saw the flames of grenades thrown from the city wall exploding in front of him - boom! boom! boom!

Flames shot up into the sky from the fields, and every explosion left a huge black, charred pit and corn stalks crushed by the bodies of the soldiers.

Just a little bit more, just a little bit more.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding…

The sound of bullets hitting each other set off sparks like welding in the armored vehicle. The entire armored vehicle seemed to have become a magnet on the battlefield. When most of the bullets on the tower were fired in this direction, Chang Zhan could no longer hold on and shrank back into the armored vehicle...

But his voice did not disappear on the battlefield!

"beat!!!"

"Everyone open fire!!!"

boom!
Finally, Mancangzi seemed to have heard Chang Zhan's roar, and he finally landed a cannonball accurately on the top of the city. The moment the flame exploded, the airflow pushed along the battlements on the top of the city, knocking down all the people within ten meters, which gave the soldiers under the city a chance to catch their breath.

"Incendiary bomb!!!!"

When the gunfire became smaller, Chang Zhan seized the opportunity to lean out from the hole of the machine gun and roared wildly at the back. A platoon of soldiers following the armored vehicle finally came to their senses, and with incendiary grenade launchers on their backs, they took a few steps forward and squatted in the crop field in front of the armored vehicle. Chang Zhan quickly unloaded Oerlikon's drum magazine, replaced it with a new one, and continued to fire at the top of the city!
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
The bullets from the machine guns rushed to the top of the city wall under the night sky, smashing the stone chips on the battlements one by one. They could only desperately try to buy time for the incendiary bombs...
