War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 549 They have to do some work too!

"idiot!"

"idiot!!!"

Ben Zhengduocai was furious in his tent because his men had just brought him the news that "Sir, our oil depot has been blown up by the enemy. Now a raging fire has broken out at the location of the oil depot, and the fire has spread to the entire flank camp."

At that moment, Ben Zhengduocai clenched his fists, roared while shaking, and was so angry that he would rather the ammunition depot was blown up. After all, ammunition was easier to replenish, but oil... could only be transported from the sea!
But even so, Ben Zhengduocai still made the most correct decision!
"Order all regiment commanders to go to their units!"

"Restrict the panicked troops and keep a close eye on the enemy forces that may attack the position."

"Order the soldiers on the flank positions to give up fighting the fire and isolate the burning area. As long as the fire does not spread to the main position, after the important supplies are transported away, let it burn!"

"Colonel Jiro Togawa, lead your regiment to guard against attacks from the Xinkou direction during the chaos;"

"Colonel Yuasa Masao, I need you to suppress all the soldiers. There must not be any 'soldier howling'!"

"Hi!"

The two colonels quickly left the tent. At this moment, the gunfire from the flank also completely stopped. Ben Zhengduocai said fiercely under the light of the oil lamp: "Xu Chaoyang, you want to defeat me like this? You may have underestimated me!"

But this matter has nothing to do with Xu Chaoyang. The real culprit is now in the mountains, looking at the Japanese camp below!

"Captain!"

"Look at the fire, it's so strong, why don't we kill it?"

It is true that Wang Jinshan is crazy, but he is not stupid!

Wang Jinshan stared at the Japanese camp and saw that there were no soldiers running around in panic amid the flames, nor were there any shouting or yelling. In the face of such a large fire, there was not even anyone to put out the fire. There were also many Japanese soldiers working together to rescue supplies from the burning area...

"We've run into trouble!" Wang Jinshan took one look and immediately gave an order, "Pass my order, the entire army retreat!"

The soldiers around him were immediately in a trance: "Captain, are you just going to give up such a good opportunity?"

Wang Jinshan stretched his hand out from in front of the soldiers, pointed forward and said, "You have to use your brain to fight, huh? After such a big fire was lit, the Japanese didn't even panic. What does this prove?"

"This shows that this is a well-trained army. Would it be an advantage to rush over rashly in such a situation? That would be disgraceful!"

"Believe it or not, if we charge forward, the machine guns in the enemy camp will start to fire, and all of your comrades who are still breathing will fall one after another. Where are you going to pay for such good soldiers, you little bastard?"

After saying that, Wang Jinshan turned his head and said, "Retreat!"

"No one is allowed to make a sound, get into the mountains!"

"We have already done what we need to do. Just wait until the battle is over. The commander of the 217th Brigade will treat us to a drink. How much more relaxed will he be without the Iron Turtle to attack Xinkou?"

"Hahahaha!"

Wang Jinshan...ran away!
Seeing that the situation was not right, he turned around and ran, just like someone who had poked a hornet's nest but was afraid of being stung, and led a regiment of soldiers to quickly rush into the mountains.

Only after they left did the sun slowly rise from the east.

"drive!"

"drive!"

At this moment, Xu Chaoyang, with a company of the New 2nd Regiment, appeared quietly on the hill next to the Japanese position. He had to come out, as he was very confused by the battle.

Last night, there were bursts of gunfire and flames shooting into the sky. Judging from this line of thought, Crazy Wang is a complete reckless man!
He should have taken advantage of the fire to rush into the Japanese camp and engage in a firefight with the enemy.

This is what makes Xu Chaoyang most angry. If they start fighting, will you help them?
Help, the defensive fortifications built at Xinkou were all in vain, the soldiers had to be pulled out to fight and face the bullets;

If you don't help, it will affect the whole body. Crazy Wang has joined the war, can Song Shilun keep an eye on him? Two regiments have been thrown in, can you, as a brigade commander, watch people die in vain? Then what kind of brigade commander are you!
Otherwise, how could Xu Chaoyang keep saying that he wanted to shoot Crazy Wang?

So he had to come out and see what the situation was outside Xinkou.

Damn it, he had always been led by others by the nose in the past, but this time he was forced out by others. He finally understood how Song Zheyuan felt back then.

When we got here, we saw that there was no gunfire at all. The Japanese were in a defensive posture and waiting for people to attack.

Yang Jingyu stood next to Xu Chaoyang and muttered, "Is this crazy Wang not stupid?"

Xu Chaoyang responded: "I hope he is a little stupid, at least stupid people are timid."

Yang Jingyu stood by with a twisted face and a smile on his face. After a long while, he turned around and looked at the firelight: "Chaoyang, do you think the Japanese can attack Xinkou tomorrow after being tormented by Wang Jinshan all night?" "It's hard to say."

Xu Chaoyang shook his head, then put down the telescope and said, "If the Japanese have already contacted the Air Force, then tomorrow's battle should not be cancelled. The Air Force has to cooperate not only in the Shanxi battlefield, but also in the Jinpu Line battlefield. If they cancel here and want to apply for air force support again, how many planes do the Japanese have to be able to toss them like this?"

"But if we don't cancel it, when the Japanese attack Xinkou, they will have tired soldiers, which is a good thing for us at least."

"Back!"

After coming out to take a look, Xu Chaoyang went back again. As a military commander, it was impossible for him to leave the defense line for a long time.

……

Lingshan.

The Eighteenth Army Headquarters.

Several leaders of the 115th and 120th Divisions were observing the map. When the scouts reported the information from the front line again and again, only the commander of the 386th Brigade was leaning against the door frame with glasses on, without saying a word.

"report!"

"Good news!"

"The 386th Regiment of the 769th Brigade blew up the oil depot of the 22nd Mixed Brigade of the Japanese invaders at the cost of 2 people. The fire is still burning. At the moment, the Japanese gave up fighting the fire and just rescued the important supplies and let it burn without paying any attention."

The commander of the 115th Division immediately raised his head and asked, "Anything else?"

As a soldier, especially a battlefield commander, the commander of the 115th Division certainly knew how great an opportunity this was. If he seized this opportunity, it would be possible to win the first victory in the Xinkou Campaign!
"Gone."

The commander of the 120th Division didn't understand and asked, "No more?"

The scout turned around and responded, "Yes, Chief, that's it."

"The 769th Regiment did not engage in any follow-up battles, and the 217th Brigade in Xinkou did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack. Even the Japanese did not launch a counterattack."

The two division commanders exchanged glances, both revealing a look of confusion. The deputy commander of the 115th Division looked at the commander of the 386th Brigade at the door and said, "Commander Chen, what's going on?"

Brigade Commander Chen, who was wearing glasses, scratched the back of his head and said, "It's okay. What happened to him? Commanders, I will go out to inspect the camp first and explain it to you when I come back."

"return!"

"Why did he run away?"

"Weren't you just holding a stack of battle reports and analyzing the enemy and our situation one by one?"

"Battle report?"

The commander of the 115th Division said, "Quick, bring me the battle report and Xu Chaoyang's deployment. Also, bring me every order Xu Chaoyang issued after arriving in Xinkou!"

After putting all this battlefield information on the table and looking at the tasks assigned to their respective troops, the commander of the 115th Division suddenly raised his neck and looked towards the door!

But there is no one there!
The 769th Regiment, which was supposed to go around and cut off the supply line, snatched the mission from the 716th Regiment, which was supposed to harass the troops. When the th Regiment did nothing, they just walked by and slapped Ben Zhengduocai in the face... What's going on?

How could he, the commander of the 386th Brigade, not run away? How could he explain himself if he didn't run away?
"Someone, pass on my order, tell Xu Chaoyang to put the overall situation first. Regarding the matter of the 769th Regiment, we can talk about it after the war..." The commander of the 115th Division knew too well how uncomfortable Xu Chaoyang was in this situation. With his protective personality, would he let his 'quasi' subordinate suffer any injustice?
But this is a battlefield. We can't let our troops fight before the battle even begins, right?

Director Luo quickly stopped him and said, "Commander."

"I looked through all the telegrams between the 217th Brigade and the division headquarters, and I didn't find any reports of Xu Chaoyang accusing Crazy Wang..."

The commander of the 120th Division said, "We have to pass the order down. We can't let Xu Chaoyang think that the people in the command center are blind!"

"Yes!"

Just as the soldier was about to leave through the door, the commander of the 115th Division immediately shouted, "Come back!"

The next second, the commander of the 115th Division turned his head and looked at the commander of the 120th Division: "Any orders issued here must also be submitted to the Second War Zone..."

When the commander of the 120th Division heard this, he closed his eyes while nodding. He finally understood Xu Chaoyang's intention. He had already suffered a loss, so he might as well embarrass himself by pulling the mill in circles with his butt naked. This order must be submitted, and the higher-ups will check it out. The boss will at least be embarrassed in Taiyuan.

I have to ask: "Your surname is Zhao?"

Do you feel uncomfortable when someone says something to you?
The commanders of the 115th and 120th divisions shouted in unison outside the door: "Call back Brigade Commander Chen!" They had to find someone to help them...
