War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 496 Half a Cardinality (Thanks to 'Book Friend' for the 500-yuan reward!)
It was a bright day and clear sky. When the 21st Regiment of the 21st Brigade and the 9st Regiment of the 21th Brigade, with a force of men, gradually moved towards the artillery positions of Mancangzi, all they saw were the holes made by the iron sticks used to fix the gun mounts and the ruts left by the transfer of artillery.

"Asshole! They actually let them get away!"

Captain Nagatomo of the 9th Brigade angrily swung his fist and smashed it on a tree trunk nearby. Even now, the hatred for the bombing by the artillery troops yesterday turned into anger and rushed to his head, but he had no one to vent his hatred on.

However, the 21st Brigade's investigator, You Saburo, looked around and responded, "Our mission is to find this unit in the mountains and destroy them as soon as possible to prevent our troops attacking the city gate from being bombarded..."

"If we go back like this..."

His meaning was very clear. If he returned at this time, he would definitely be scolded by Miura Toshiji: "Should we send someone to scout the surrounding area, or follow the wheel tracks in the mountains to find the possible location of the enemy's artillery position?"

Changyou just nodded, and suddenly, the echo that vibrated in the valley came over, and it was in Chinese! It was as if someone deliberately wanted him to hear it.

"Using our position as the target, calculate all the parameters for shooting... all the parameters... all the parameters!"

The echoes are constantly vibrating around...

"Fire at full power and wipe out the remaining half of the base!"

"fire!!!"

Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo!
The moment the artillery sounded, the faces of the Japanese soldiers who had rushed to the artillery position to attack the artillery nest were distorted, and they all looked towards the high points in the vast mountains!

They couldn't imagine how this group of artillerymen could move their positions so quickly. They were able to abandon their comrades in Tuanchengkou who were under siege and quickly move their artillery across the mountains...

The "base" mentioned by the artillery is the full name of the basic ammunition carrying capacity base, which means the number of shells that a piece of artillery can carry during transportation. Take the Type 92 infantry gun as an example. Its base is 30 rounds of shells, so Mancangzi took away 300 rounds of shells before leaving the regiment headquarters, and these 300 rounds of shells are called a base.

But Xu Chaoyang only has more than 600 shells...

In this situation, Mancangzi fired half of his artillery shells!
The 9st Regiment of the 21th Brigade and the 21st Regiment of the 21st Brigade happened to suffer the first wave of artillery fire on the top of Tuanchengkou Mountain, resulting in the loss of more than half of the two regiments. In the end, they had to be destroyed into one regiment on the battlefield to continue fighting. But they never expected that... the few artillery shells in Mancangzi's hands were all prepared for them!
boom! ! !
The first shell had exploded, and the flames that were not noticeable during the day rose up, and finally turned into a puff of black smoke in the air...

This group of Japanese devils were already careful enough. They made sure that the enemy artillery had completely retreated before bringing people up to check for signs of retreat. However, for Mancangzi, who had already moved to another high point, this behavior meant that all their actions were being watched by him.

boom! boom! boom!
When multiple artillery shells fell one after another targeting the artillery position, the Japanese soldiers on the position were too late to flee even if they wanted to. The moment 150 shells fell, an entire forest below the artillery position was completely destroyed. The trees were broken one after another in the continuous flames, and the entire land was washed by this fire.

The most terrifying thing was the gusts of air flying everywhere in the mountains and forests. These gusts swept up the shattered wood chips and scattered them everywhere, flying through the air like bullets, leaving the Japanese with nowhere to escape.

puff!
A Y-shaped tree branch pierced into the chest of a Japanese soldier with its not-so-sharp tail. The branch, swept by the air wave, did not need a sharp side at all. The root, which was as thick as a finger, was enough to easily pierce human flesh, and it broke through the Japanese soldier's clothes on his back, bringing out a stream of blood.

boom!
Then, before the Japanese soldier had even had time to feel the pain, he was completely knocked over by a shell and melted in the fire of the exploding shell.

The entire mountain forest was destroyed by the bombardment. The fallen trees and the soil that was blown away made the land look like it had undergone a crustal movement. The corpses of the Japanese soldiers all over the mountains and plains had been spread out on the land along with the trees that were blown down by the shells. The green area in the mountains was completely blown into the color of a bald head. The whole area looked like a ghost with alopecia...

If Xu Chaoyang could see this scene, he would definitely think of the scene in "Avatar". The trees that were knocked down by modern weapons are now becoming a reality before his eyes.

"kill!!!"

The 1,000 Northeast Army soldiers responsible for protecting the artillery unit rushed down the hillside holding Type 38 rifles. The sound of Type 99 rifles on the mountain continued to ring out, and countless bullets poured down...

The revenge of September 18th;
The hatred for the occupation of Rehe;

The revenge for occupying Chahar;
Cholera's revenge on Inner Mongolia;

The revenge on the Great Wall front;

The revenge of the Battle of Songhu...

At this moment, everything was visualized. The emotions hidden in the Northeast Army floated in the mountains and forests after the bombardment, and shouts and curses rose and fell along with the flow of people rushing down! "I'll fuck your mother!!!"

When a Northeast Army soldier holding a Type 67 rifle came down the mountain, he raised his hand and fired a shot amidst the shouting and cursing. At that moment, the bullet spun and pierced into the chest of the Japanese soldier a hundred meters away. After knocking him down, the Northeast Army soldier of the th Army cursed angrily: "What are you like in the Northeast!"

"what!!!"

What these 1,000 Northeastern soldiers brought with them was no longer morale, but rather naked hatred for the Japanese after losing their homes!

This hatred made them blood-thirsty. Even if they stabbed a Japanese soldier with a bayonet, they still felt unsatisfied. They would stand by and pull out the bayonet, then use the blunt side of the gun to hit the Japanese soldier's head fiercely, regardless of whether the soldier was dead or not...

The Northeastern people's hatred for the Japs completely erupted at this moment, uncontrollable like a flood or a beast!
However, the Japanese soldiers who were under bombardment and in panic could not organize an effective counterattack. Even those who had managed to survive the bombardment were looking around in a daze. The area in front of them was like a destroyed hell on earth.

"kill!!!!"

The earth-shaking shouts of killing echoed down the mountain road. The Northeast Army soldiers holding Type 38 rifles kept crossing the thick branches that fell on the road in the forest and rushed over...

"fight back!!!"

"Fight back quickly!!!"

"No one can survive otherwise!!!"

There was also a Japanese soldier who was experienced in combat and was awake shouting, but he couldn't guarantee that others could hear his voice, because he himself had tinnitus from the bombardment, and even his own voice was not clear - buzz~
But he could still go and look. Turning his head, he saw corpses everywhere. There were corpses that were crushed to death by falling trees, corpses whose arms were shattered by artillery fire, corpses that were missing two legs and were left with only a human pig, and corpses whose upper bodies were buried in the mud, with only their buttocks and lower bodies exposed...

How many people died?

The 217th Regiment had never counted how many people were killed by the 217 shells, but today's battle at Mancangzi was the biggest achievement of the th Regiment!
The most Xu Chaoyang could do was to shout out three or five rounds of rapid fire, but Man Guangzhi could just shout out half the number!

"kill!!!!"

The remaining Japanese troops had lost all their fighting spirit and fled through the mountains and forests under the cover of thousands of Northeast Army soldiers...

They didn’t dare to take the more dangerous mountain ridge, and rushed along the mountain road to Tuanchengkou!!!

……

"Yuying, what should we do next?"

In the middle section between Dongpaochi and Tuanchengkou, the destroyed ammunition truck was still burning fiercely, and one or two explosions could be heard occasionally. A good khaki military truck had been burned into black scrap metal, emitting billowing black smoke in the middle of the road.

Yu Minghao and his troops had already retreated to the hillside, looking at the thick smoke in front of them and the light flickering in the sky over Dongpaochi...

"Report!!!"

A soldier in a gray uniform rushed over and shouted, "Report to Captain Yu, my 688th Regiment has taken over your mission to attack Dongpaochi. There is only one squadron stationed at Dongpaochi, and the battle will be over soon. Our regiment commander said that Captain Yu does not need reinforcements and can turn around to reinforce the regiment's Chengkou regular combat unit."

When Yu Minghao heard this, he immediately turned around and shouted, "All troops, listen to my orders!"

"Target Tuanchengkou, run forward!!!"
