War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 440 They are not afraid! (Thanks to the "book friend" for the reward!)

"Enemy attack!"

Just as the fifth row of soldiers climbed up the roof, Xu Chaoyang's machine gun started firing amid the roars of the devils. The purpose of the crossfire was to cover the blind spots of the enemy's vision. It was not a question of whether the devils were afraid of the fifth row of soldiers rushing up. Even if the fifth row of soldiers got close and threw grenades at them, they would not be able to bear it...

Da da da da da da!

Xu Chaoyang witnessed with his own eyes a soldier who had just climbed onto the roof was pierced by a bullet from a Type 99 light machine gun before he could even stand firmly. A cloud of blood sprayed from his chest, and he fell from the roof due to inertia.

"Chaoyang, this won't work. There aren't many people left in the fifth platoon. If the Japanese block the eaves and use machine guns to shoot us, we won't be able to get up at all."

But it was useless for Shang Kun to say this to Xu Chaoyang!

If Xu Chaoyang was the company commander of the 87th Division, he would lead his men to push forward at this time, and would rather leave behind a dozen more bodies to give the fifth platoon a chance to get closer to the three-story building...

And just at this moment—bang!

A formal gunshot was heard!
This was a kind of gunshot that Xu Chaoyang had never heard of. After he withdrew his gaze from the five rows of roofs, he saw a group of helmeted soldiers from the 87th Division moving slowly under the eaves. When this unit opened fire, Xu Chaoyang saw the standard aiming posture for the first time on the battlefield of the War of Resistance!
A soldier from the 35th Division wearing an M87 helmet was squatting beside a stone pillar in front of the store, aiming and shooting with his cheek close to his chest!

It’s not that a cheek-to-cheek aiming can make a shot more accurate, but by seeing the aiming posture and the choice of cover, Xu Chaoyang can feel the professionalism of this unit!

boom!
At the same time as the soldier was firing, a Maxim gun at the corner of the wall where the 87th Division was located suddenly opened fire, firing at the muzzle of the Japanese soldier in the third-floor window on the street - bang bang bang bang!

The soldiers of the 87th Division were not afraid of anything. Not only that, the company commander was also able to lead the team at critical moments.

They were really fighting a war, not caring about personal gains and losses, nor were they calculating whether they would have people left after the battle, or whether they could continue to be officials.

Xu Chaoyang had seen too many warlords miss opportunities for their own selfish interests. He never expected to see such a fearless spirit in the 87th Division!
Who doesn't know how dangerous it would be to go against the defense line set up by the Japanese?

But they still came up...

"Pour out firepower, suppress the enemy's high-point machine guns, and gain closer distance for the Northeast Army!"

The company commander of the 87th Division stood at the back and kept shouting. The first platoon of soldiers from the 87th Division who rushed up showed no fear at all. They used the stone pillars as cover and launched an offensive.

"Squad One advances along the right side and charges into the fire network!"

This was a cruel decision, because once it was made, a squad of soldiers would be thrown there.

Xu Chaoyang knew too well what the platoon leader of the 87th Division who rushed up was thinking. When a platoon rushed up with only stone pillars as cover, they were doomed to have no way back. Their existence was to disperse the firepower for the five platoons above their heads. Their mission was to survive on the battlefield as much as possible to buy time.

He sent a squad of soldiers to storm the firepower network, which meant that this squad of soldiers could relieve the pressure on the entire platoon during the few minutes or even tens of seconds they appeared. There was no question of who could survive here, the only question was how to complete the mission!
The first squad rushed up. Xu Chaoyang could see them clearly through the gaps between the pillars. The bullets from the third-floor window flew down at the same second as they rushed forward - da da da da da!
Sparks flew from the collapsed stone pillars, and the wooden doors of the houses on the street that had been closed long ago were riddled with holes from bullets. A few rays of moonlight shone into the dark room, and the family of three who were huddled together in the corner of the house were frightened and screamed and trembled... "Ah!!!"

This shop sold candy, and the counter was filled with porcelain jars filled with candy. After the bullets entered the house, they shattered the jars one after another, and the candy cubes wrapped in colorful cellophane inside were scattered all over the floor along with the broken porcelain pieces.

Look at the next group coming up...

All of them were dead, not a single one was left alive. They only held out for less than a minute before they were taken down by the Japanese light machine gun positions behind the sandbags and the third-floor windows. One soldier fell to the ground on the street in various postures. One of them had his shoulder hanging on the stone pier under the stone pillar. His helmet had fallen off his head and was rolling not far in front of him.

"Grenade!"

Before Xu Chaoyang had time to feel sad, he was startled by a roar on the roof and looked up. On the roof, five rows of soldiers were already in place. These Northeast Army soldiers were standing and throwing grenades at the roof of the third floor in front of them, regardless of whether their bodies would be exposed to the Japanese invaders' sights...

Swish!
More than a dozen grenades flew up at the same time. Xu Chaoyang saw that some were thrown too hard, and some hit the roof of the third floor and flew away. But there were still three or four that were thrown right up - boom! boom! boom!

There were continuous explosions from the rooftop of the third floor. A gust of air suddenly swept around. All the sacks on the rooftop were blown away, spinning in the air and falling to the ground, raising smoke and dust.

"Platoon leader, I blew up the enemy's machine gun position! Look, look, the sacks are flying!"

Xu Chaoyang saw with his own eyes a soldier from the fifth platoon of the Northeast Army jumping happily on the roof. He didn't know this soldier from the fifth platoon, but he knew this voice. This voice had once scolded the fat man who was beaten by the fifth platoon leader. But at this moment, Xu Chaoyang didn't want him to die at all...

chug chug!
This world is always so ruthless. Before the fifth platoon leader could even say a word to tell him to stop showing off, gunshots were heard from the third-floor window across the street from the Japanese. The gunshots were filled with an extremely strong desire for revenge, spitting flames at everyone on the roof that could be seen by the naked eye.

The soldier, who was originally still happy, had just jumped up when he was hit by a bullet in the air. He fell headfirst like a kite with a broken string, without even leaving a trace.

"Fire!!!"

The company commander of the 87th Division started yelling again. Maxim stared at the muzzle of the Japanese soldier's gun that was shooting and killing people and pulled the trigger. At the window, traces of bullet hits kept appearing. Under the cover of night, the bullets with sparks made the Japanese machine gunners retract their heads.

In an instant, the machine gun position on the rooftop on the left side of the battlefield was blown away, the windows on the right side were forced back, and the double firepower network on the left and right sides was reduced to a single layer...

"It's time!"

This was the opportunity Xu Chaoyang had captured as a commander. Right now, there was already flanking fire from the roof on the left that could hit the machine gun position on the road. If he didn't seize the opportunity of the enemy's weak firepower to rush forward, when would he wait? Wait for the devils at the window to recover?
"on!"

The company commander of the 87th Division did not disappoint Xu Chaoyang at all. He led his team to rush up at the first opportunity. The Maxim rifle did not move, but kept staring at the machine gun muzzle at the right third-floor window. A face-to-face, muzzle-to-muzzle charge was about to begin!
