War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 519 The position moved five centimeters!
"Captain!"

"The reconnaissance company has already taken the second ridge and is advancing towards the first ridge, clearing the blockade along the way. Commander, please lead the troops along our company's route!"

Under the cover of night, the 688th Regiment was on the march when the reconnaissance company passed on information about Erdaoliang. However, after the scout finished speaking, he added, "Captain, you... need to be mentally prepared when you go to Erdaoliang..."

Han Xianchu was stunned for a moment, but when he climbed down the hillside and just entered the road between the two mountains, he was completely dumbfounded!
This is the only way to Erdaoliang. They should have gone up the mountain directly, but this road also leads to Fanzhi!

In other words, this road is the only way for the Kuomintang army to retreat!
Woo~
Wow!

Wow!

Whenever the wind blew along the entire mountain road, the sound of iron wires shaking could be heard, and on the iron wires were hung soldiers who had died in battle, wearing the uniforms of the National Army!
They were hung on the wire so casually, even though their uniforms had been tattered by shells, and even though their sleeves still had broken arms clinking!

"Captain..."

The soldiers were hung between two trees with wires pierced through their chests. The wires in the middle had been completely bent. When the wind blew, the bodies swayed slightly with the swing of the wires, which led to the sound.

one two Three……

Three bodies hanging in a row!
There was no telling how many bodies were hanging on the trees on both sides of the road. They were so densely packed that some of the bodies had already turned over and were hanging there at an angle.

"Captain!"

Han Xianchu was awakened by the shouts of the two soldiers. He felt that the wind blowing on his face at this moment was filled with the smell of blood.

"Do not talk……"

"No one is allowed to speak, this is an order!"

Han Xianchu turned his head and said with a heavy expression: "Digging a hole..."

"Bury them." After saying that, Han Xianchu turned around and left!

In the Battle of Ruyuekou, the Kuomintang army was defeated and the Japanese strung the bodies of the soldiers together and hung them in the mountains...

But it's not over yet!
After the Japanese captured Ruyuekou, they did not carry out a massacre. But before the common people could recover, the Japanese had already assigned them the task!

They asked the common people to help transport things like electrical wires and telephone wires. A donkey cart could only carry two bundles of those things, but the Japanese said the transportation speed was too slow and asked every adult man to carry one bundle!
That's a bundle of wires!
Can a person carry it on his back?
Therefore, those who could not carry the load were stabbed with bayonets by the Japanese and abandoned in the wilderness.

"Captain!!"

Finally, a shrill roar was heard from the forest. When Han Xianchu turned around, he saw a scene that he could never forgive in his life...

The bodies of the common people were abandoned in the woods at will, and the carrion rats in the woods were running around on the corpses; under the cover of night, a wild dog looked out of the woods with its dark green eyes, and in its mouth was a hand that had been gnawed!
"No! Talk!!"

Han Xianchu forcefully suppressed the soldiers' emotions, knowing that once these emotions exploded, it would turn into a disaster. By then, hatred would blind their eyes, anger would invade their minds, and even the most skilled fighters would become fools who would charge forward blindly.

"Keep all your hatred in your heart. As long as you obey orders after you get to the battlefield, I promise that I will repay the Japanese without missing a single step!"

But Han Xianchu didn't know that massacres like this were just the beginning in Shanxi!
A total of fourteen mass graves were discovered in Shanxi in later generations. Fourteen!
The largest of them has more than 60,000 people, more than 60,000 people!
That's people!
people!
Han Xianchu's eyes changed, and the eyes of the entire 688th Regiment changed. Anyone would have to perk up at this moment!

"set off!"

After the soldiers delayed their march to bury the bodies, they turned around at the moment... without anyone's advice, they all voluntarily gave up their humanity. They ran wildly in the mountains with big strides, and even if they fell, they would get up silently;

They stared ahead with cold eyes. If they had not needed to march in secret, I'm afraid countless people would have rushed forward roaring, shouting, "Fight to the death!"

The combat effectiveness of such an army cannot be weak!

The desire for battle was written in his eyes!
Erdaoliang, we’ve arrived.

The abandoned bodies of the Japanese invaders lay across the hill. The bonfire was shaking in the mountain wind. The firewood Lao Zhao had added was almost burned out, and even the flames were gradually getting smaller...

"Add firewood!"

After Han Xianchu said this again, he led his troops towards Toudaoliang. The fire of desire for revenge in his heart was burning fiercely, and he seemed to hear the 'crackling' sound.

A soldier who could no longer hold back walked past the corpse of a Japanese soldier, drew his bayonet, bent over and stabbed the soldier as he passed by.

After he did this, the soldiers behind him followed suit. The corpse, which had only been stabbed a few times, was almost chopped into stuffing by the soldiers. Even so, they still didn't feel satisfied!

When he led the soldiers to charge towards the first beam, he received the second wave of reports from the reconnaissance company: "Report!"

The scout rushed over and said, "The first ridge has been cleaned up, and one soldier was slightly injured. In addition, the situation at Tiejialing has also been figured out. There is only one squadron of Japanese soldiers stationed there..."

This is not a joke, it's true!

During the Japanese invasion of Shanxi, a squadron was stationed in every county town of a certain size, such as Ying County, yes, that is Ying County in front of Ru Yuekou.

The Japanese could firmly control a county town with the help of puppet troops and traitors. That is to say, if the Battle of Ping'angle was filmed according to historical facts, the county brigade and district squad of nearly 10,000 people led by Brother Yunlong could only defeat a squadron of the Japanese plus a special forces unit. Of course, this does not include the county towns on the front line. Here we are only talking about the county towns behind the enemy-occupied areas.

The Japanese did this mainly because our country's territory is too vast. If the Japanese wanted to send troops to guard every city tightly, it would be impossible for them to send troops to continue attacking Shanxi. The fact that they were able to send so many troops to attack Shanxi was due to this invasion method of stationing a small number of troops in the ruled area.

Only in this way can they mobilize a large number of troops.

Of course, it was impossible for Ru Yuekou, which was guarded by the National Government Army, to be captured by a squadron. When the Japanese seized Ru Yuekou, in addition to a mixed brigade, they also dispatched two divisions of puppet Mongolian troops. However, after capturing Ru Yuekou, the two divisions of puppet Mongolian troops withdrew. For them, Chahar was too big, and they really couldn't handle it without these puppet troops to help garrison.

"A squadron?"

Han Xianchu, who originally wanted to quietly capture Ruyuekou, changed his mind and immediately ordered: "Notify the reconnaissance company to withdraw all of them. After the withdrawal, spread the troops to Ruyuekou and monitor the movements of the Japanese at all times."

"Yes!"

"First battalion commander!"

"To!"

"Attack Ruyuekou with great fanfare. Let the sound of gunfire be heard at least two miles away. If the noise is small, you will be the only one to be held accountable!"

This is the real war. The military commander will change his decision at any time according to the different battlefield environment. The initial secret march was because Han Xianchu was afraid that the Japanese had too many troops and his bullets were not enough, but he did not expect that the main forces of the Japanese were deployed in Fanzhisi. After all, Fanzhisi was the front line.

After receiving this news, Han Xianchu immediately changed his strategy. This was the main reason why our party and army were able to maintain their development and continue to win battles during the period when the enemy and puppet regimes in Shanxi were fighting each other. At least the generals under his command had enough autonomy, and they would not make a phone call to move the artillery position by five centimeters...
