War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 497: Go with the flow! (Thanks to '柔之木' for the 500 reward!)
"Report, there are soldiers from other regiments rushing over from behind our army. If we allow them to charge into our position, they will disrupt the order of our army!"

At the foot of Tuanchengkou Mountain, the mountain paths are narrow and the peaks are dense, which is extremely unfavorable for the deployment of the troops. If it were not for the lack of ammunition, they would never launch such an intensive attack on Tuanchengkou, which would not only block the offensive route, but also fail to achieve the goal of exhausting the enemy.

However, the hilltop at Tuanchengkou was the highest point in the surrounding area. Standing on the top of the hill, one could see all the other hills. The enemy also had strong firepower, so the Japanese invaders had to use human wave tactics. This was the first time that the Japanese invaders used human wave tactics when facing our army’s positions. Such irrational behavior was forced by the lack of ammunition, but more importantly, it was because the troops on the hill pretended to raise the white flag but no one came to support them!
How could the fucking raising of the white flag be fake? This is the first time I’ve seen this group of devils…

The Tanimoto Battalion of the 45th Regiment was responsible for guarding the rear of the regiment's city gate, which was where the enemy might come to reinforce. This position could, on the one hand, resist sudden enemy charges and prevent Gao Guizi from rescuing the Second Regiment from the encirclement; on the other hand, it could prevent the enemy from fleeing.

A death order has been issued from above. No matter what, not even a single person from this troop can be allowed to escape. They must all be killed to serve as a warning to others and tell all Chinese troops that surrender is not something to be taken lightly!

But Captain Tanimoto never expected that the first person to appear here would be... one of his own!

He then looked towards the front of the battle. A group of soldiers in shit-yellow uniforms were running towards him in panic. Behind them was a cloud of dust, and in the dust, the sound of Type 38 rifles could be heard continuously...

How is this going?

Could it be that the entire regiment that attacked the enemy...was defeated?
impossible!
That was a regiment of 3,000 people, composed of the 9th Brigade and two regiments of their brigade. How could they be defeated so easily?

While they were thinking, the Japanese invaders in front of them had already rushed to the front of the camp, and the Japanese soldier in the front shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!!!"

"The number of people is unknown. They used our Type 38 rifles and Taisho 110 light machine guns..."

"Enemy attack!!!"

Captain Tanimoto immediately pulled out the Nambu-style pistol from his waist, pulled the trigger and shouted, "Your troops will turn around and organize defense. If you move forward, we will shoot!"

Tanimoto was not cruel, he had to think for himself. If he really let this group of people rush over, then his entire team would be completely overwhelmed by the people in front of them without anyone to fight, and there would be a chain reaction at that time...

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the mountains: "Fire!!!"

tom!
A cannon shot was heard from the mountains. When Tanimoto looked back, what he heard was not the sound of a cannonball breaking through the air, but an object with white smoke falling lightly from the air. There was no cannonball hitting the ground quickly...

bump.

The thing landed firmly on the ground. Tanimoto took one look at it and immediately shouted, "Explosive pack!!!"

boom! ! ! !

At the moment the explosion sounded, a flame rose from the point where the explosive pack exploded, and the air wave pushed forward in a circular shape. Countless Japanese soldiers were killed and fell to the ground. Japanese soldiers at the far end were directly overturned by the airflow...

tom!tom!tom!
There were three loud noises in the mountains again, and three explosive packs fell lightly.

boom!
Tanimoto had just turned around and had no time to run away. His body was in the downward pressure stage when the explosive pack suddenly exploded above his head. The strong air pressure pushed down at that moment, and Tanimoto's 1.58 meter tall stature was immediately crushed into a pool of blood foam by this air wave. The blood scattered along his body that was crushed into pieces of flesh and exploded - puff!

Then a ball of fire appeared in the air.

"687, blow the charge!!!"

Da-da-da-da! ! ! !

A loud bugle call sounded in the mountains, and the 687th Regiment arrived. After discovering that there were not many people stationed at the Japanese command post in Dongpaochi, they planned to march quickly to bypass the regiment city gate and prepare to support the 217th Regiment from the rear. However, when they arrived, they saw that the Japanese invaders were attacked by their own people. The regiment commander Zhang Shaodong seized the opportunity and immediately ordered an offensive against the Tanimoto Battalion in front of them.

There is no general in the 115th Division who cannot fight. Zhang Shaodong has experienced the Hubei-Henan-Anhui and Soviet areas' anti-encirclement and suppression campaigns, and also participated in the battles of Laoshan, Zhiluo Town, the Eastern Expedition, the Western Expedition, etc. It was only after the full-scale war of resistance began that he became the commander of the 687th Regiment. Although his experience is not as amazing as that of the 688th Regiment, he is also a real general.

"Kill!!!" The 687th Regiment rushed down the mountain with bayonets on their guns without firing a single shot. At that moment, the Japanese invaders, who had never seen such a fighting style, collectively turned their guns around. When the entire regiment was only meters away from the Japanese invaders, Zhang Shaodong, who was in the front, shouted loudly: "Fire!!!"

He was really cruel. He didn't allow the troops to fire on the mountain until they were within 115 meters before allowing them to open fire... But this cannot be blamed on Zhang Shaodong. The reason he did this was that the number of bullets allocated to the 687th Regiment by the 6000th Division was limited. One regiment could only get more than rounds of bullets, and they still had to fight under such circumstances!
More than six thousand rounds, six thousand!
The 687th Regiment is an overstrength regiment with nearly 1500 people. In this case, what can more than bullets do?

Then Zhang Shaodong can only rob from the enemies. How can he do that without being ruthless?
"beat!!!"

Fifty meters...

The troops behind the 687th Regiment suddenly stopped, climbed up the slope, and stood on the high point to fire at all members of the Tanimoto Battalion.

The soldiers of the 217th Regiment, who were supposed to be protecting the artillery in the warehouse, started firing at the chaotic Tanimoto Battalion with their guns regardless of the firepower. They even changed their machine guns to hip-fire. Their purpose was to reduce the death toll of those in gray clothes, because... what was happening before their eyes was too tragic!

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!!!"

The machine guns of the Tanimoto Battalion opened fire the moment their formation was disrupted. The troops rushing down the mountain were knocked down row after row as they marched. Before they could rush to a distance of 50 meters, more than a dozen people had been knocked down by machine guns, but the rifles of the Tanimoto Battalion were still firing continuously.

From a distance of one hundred meters to fifty meters, nearly fifty or sixty people from the 687th Regiment fell. The Japanese machine guns did not need to be aimed at all, as long as they were held up, they could get battlefield kills within the narrow range of the mountain road.

Da da da da da!!!
The half of the regiment that had retreated would turn around and fire blindly in panic. At a distance of fifty meters, the muzzles of their guns were facing the bursting flesh and the blood mist was constantly splattering on the bodies of the soldiers of the 687th Regiment.

Can these people from the 217th Regiment who have plenty of bullets not provide cover for others?
"Everyone, point your guns at the middle and rear of the Japanese army. Accurate shooters should fire at the enemy machine gun positions. Open fire and shoot!!!"

boom! boom! boom!
The situation behind Tuanchengkou was completely disrupted. After the gunshots rang out, the 687th Regiment rushed forward with their emptied Liao-13-type rifles and engaged the Japanese in hand-to-hand combat, with bullets flying overhead.

"kill!!!"

When a boy who was only seventeen years old raised his hand to thrust the bayonet into the enemy's body, he pulled the muzzle of the gun with force. Just as he showed the joy of killing the enemy on his face, a Japanese invader in front of him raised his gun and pulled the trigger at him - bang!

The bullet passed through his body. The young soldier lowered his head slightly to look at his chest, then fell to the ground in shock. No one knew what was going on in his mind at that time!
……

"battalion commander!!"

"Reinforcements have arrived!!!"

On the top of Tuanchengkou Mountain, gunpowder smoke was floating everywhere. Chang Zhan, his face black and his body covered in blood, sat in a daze in the trench. Even though gunshots rang around his ears, he remained motionless.

He was too tired. After not sleeping for two nights and one day, he continued fighting until noon today. His thoughts were intermittent and obviously abnormal: "Hmm?" When others were delivering the message, he just said "hmm" woodenly, then quickly stood up with the help of the wall, walked around the trench, and looked at the entire rear of the position.

"Liu Gen'er? Liu Gen'er!"

Chang Zhan looked at the battlefield behind him without even turning his head and shouted, "How many of us are left?"

Liu Gener replied: "You are still the battalion commander!"

Only the soldiers who have experienced this battle can understand the sadness of that second... Out of a team of one thousand people, only one battalion is left!
