War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 556: Blazing Fire (10 monthly tickets in October)

"Are you done yet?"

"Go to bed when you're done!"

"The third battalion is on alert. Everyone in the first and second battalions is to rest. Don't waste even a minute."

The pottery-jar-shaped bunker had been dug and machine gun holes had been specially set up, but Wang Tianhao kept Yu Minghao's death a secret. After all, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

At this time, Wang Tianhao looked up at the oil lamp lit in the command post on the mountain, and said, "Being an official is not easy."

He realized today how difficult it was to sit in this position, so difficult that he even needed to find a suitable time to inform the New Second Regiment of Yu Minghao's death.

If you tell them it’s too early, the soldiers won’t be in the mood to work;

If I tell them after I finish the work, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be in the mood to sleep...

What if the Japanese attack tomorrow morning?
Wang Tianhao is made of iron, how many nails can he hammer into the wall?
He had to wait until the soldiers were full and awake, and the Japanese approached the position, so that all the grief and anger could be transformed into motivation to fight the enemy, and a tragic morale would be ignited on the entire position...

At this time, Wang Tianhao laughed at himself.

People below him said that he was very cunning, and at that time he thought it was a compliment. But today, for the first time, he felt ashamed of being cunning.

But this is what military commanders should bear. You can persuade yourself that they all sacrificed their lives at the best age, will remain forever young, will never be troubled by the pain of old age, and will always be remembered by future generations.

But these things can deceive others, but how can they deceive myself who is on the battlefield every moment.

Once dead, you are dead. There is no more.

Wang Tianhao leaned against the earth slope, looked at the bright moon and closed his eyes. He wanted to live a clear and wise life, but living like this, he couldn't sleep...

……

"report!"

Lingshan, division headquarters.

"217 was attacked by the Japanese invaders today. The Japanese used 240mm howitzers to bombard the position, and then used a feint attack to lure the soldiers out of the anti-artillery pits, and then used the Type infantry gun to bombard the position again. The New Second Regiment at the Xinkou position has avoided casualties to the greatest extent due to the command of the Second Regiment Commander Yu Minghao. In the end, there were casualties, of whom were seriously injured and died. Commander Yu... died."

There was silence in the division headquarters. Without anyone taking the lead, everyone took off their military caps and lowered their heads.

For a long time, he remained silent.

……

In the early morning, the sun still rises from the east, shining on the earth as always.

This time, the Japanese invaders appeared at the forefront of the battlefield again with great momentum. Before they arrived, countless smoke and dust had already risen from the distant valley.

"Captain!"

"Devil!"

Wang Tianhao was woken up by someone. When he was about to fall asleep, he deliberately glanced at the sky. At that time, it was almost dawn. But when he woke up again, he stood on a high place despite his sleepiness and shouted loudly: "Everyone, look in my direction. I have something to announce. If my voice cannot reach you, please relay it to each other in the battalions, companies, and platoons."

Wang Tianhao glanced at the dust in the distance again, and finally said, "The news from Taiyuan is that Captain Yu died yesterday after being sent to the hospital due to internal organ damage!"

"impossible!"

A soldier rushed over, stared at Wang Tianhao in complete disbelief, and shouted: "When the regiment commander had him taken away yesterday, I was talking to him, and he even nodded to me!"

Wang Tianhao did not shout this time, but said softly as if to comfort the soldier: "It's true." At that moment, the morning breeze blew over the battlefield, and the red flag that was originally rolled up on the flagpole by the wind suddenly loosened and swayed in the wind, and on the battlefield, except the sound of the wind, there was no other sound.

This group was exactly the same as the one led by Yu Minghao. Everyone was well-behaved, but each of them was suppressing their emotions with their eyes wide open, just like Yu Minghao's silence.

"Third Battalion Commander!"

"arrive!!!!"

With this shout, the Third Battalion Commander shouted with a momentum that broke through the sky, and there was a bright light flickering in his eyes.

"Everyone, bayonet!"

"yes!!!!!"

The entire Third Battalion took out their bayonets and hung them on the muzzles of their guns.

"Your battalion has only one mission. When the Japs charge into our position, you will counterattack. Use the knives in your hands to pick off as many of them as you can. Do you understand?"

"If one runs away..."

"You want my head!"

"Third Battalion, retreat 300 meters. The Japanese are not allowed to take up positions and are not allowed to participate in the battle."

"Yes!"

Wang Tianhao looked at the others at this time: "Battalion 1, Battalion 2, everyone, carry machine guns into the bunker. Each battalion will leave grenades in the camp and leave a platoon of soldiers to guard. The soldiers in this platoon do not need to fire to defend the position. Everyone should guard the grenades. When the enemy rushes within 50 meters, throw all the grenades out in one breath. The rest of the time, everyone hide in the anti-artillery pit and are not allowed to come out!"

"Yes!!!"

"Everyone prepare to fight!"

"Revenge for the leader!"

This time, Wang Tianhao did not change any of the responses of his soldiers. He went into the bunker pit with his gun in hand. Then, all the soldiers in the trench lined up to enter. After entering the pit, each of them guarded each shooting port. Those who could not get a slot could only squat aside and wait silently.

Xu Chaoyang was watching all this with a telescope, but after taking this last look, Xu Chaoyang stood in the command post and immediately gave orders and shouted: "Pass my order, order the artillery to fire two rounds of three-round rapid fire at the enemy's advancing route!"

"Especially if it is 150 to 200 meters away from the position!"

He is not trying to relieve his heartache, but to repay an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!
tom!
Before the order was delivered, the sound of artillery fire was heard again in the distance. Xu Chaoyang immediately raised his telescope and looked towards the Xinkou position. He saw several 240mm grenades exploding on the position. At that second, his nerves were stretched to the extreme.

He was really worried that Wang Tianhao's bunker was not dug solidly...

hum~~~
Then, the plane arrived again with a roar, and several bombs were dropped from the air. However, this time the plane did not dive too low, but chose to drop the bombs at a high altitude. This resulted in Oerlikon's lethality to the Japanese air force becoming very limited...

boom!
boom!
boom!
call! ! ! !

Not only bombs, this time the Japanese actually dropped petrol bombs after dropping several bombs!

In an instant, flames raged on the main battlefield!
"The damn thing is coming up!"

These bastards had calculated the order of throwing the bombs first, and then the petrol bombs, because they were afraid that the fire that had just started would be extinguished...

In other words, the Japanese bombers not only perform the task of bombing, but also the task of reconnaissance aircraft. Otherwise, if they drop gasoline bombs, the 2nd Mixed Brigade will use the Type infantry gun to bombard the positions. Wouldn't the fire be in vain?
