War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 571 Twice...

"report!"

The signalman of the Second War Zone Taiyuan Command rushed in directly: "Report, the Xinkou position has been breached, 217th line evacuated!"

"How many days is this?"

Just as Yan Laoxizi raised the question, the signalman spoke again: "The 217 Xinkou defense line suffered two consecutive days of aircraft bombing. When the defense line was breached, the Japanese sent out ten armored vehicles and ten tanks as the vanguard. The machine guns and rifles were all useless, and the 217 Oerlikon was short of ammunition, which made it impossible to stop the armored vehicles from rushing to the position!" The signalman stiffened his neck and was so dissatisfied that he almost said: "If you can do it, go ahead!"

Fu Zuoyi stood up and shouted, "Where's his cannon!"

The signalman remained silent this time...

Wei Lihuang pointed his white-gloved index finger at the signalman and said, "I gave you so many shells, where are the guns?"

For a moment, there seemed to be no sound in the room, except for the boss who sat in his seat, unmoved.

At this moment, Qu Yong's thumb was on the grenade pull ring, approaching step by step...

To judge whether an organization is good or bad, many people would like to look at the moment of its success, but smarter people choose to look at the moment of its failure.

When you look at the other person's success, you can only see what they did well, but when you look at their failure, you can see what they did wrong.

Therefore, when summarizing this period of history, some people defined the National Government as a "warlord" rather than a "country". However, at this moment, all the drawbacks unique to warlords were revealed, including selfishness, shirking of responsibility, and accountability. However, the most crucial thing was missing, that is, "remedy".

Remedy is not just two words, but also the key to turning defeat into victory. No battle can be turned around without starting with these two words.

When, when, when.

The boss poked the table with his finger a few times, making the whole room quiet. Then he raised his eyelids and looked at everyone. He stared at the commanders of the Second War Zone who were beginning to get excited. He only asked one question: "Everyone, have you forgotten the tactical purpose of the Xinkou Defense Line?"

"Is there any difference between defending for seven days and defending for four days if the tactical goal can be achieved?"

After he said this, several people showed signs of restraining their emotions, and Wei Lihuang even slowly lowered his outstretched index finger.

The boss then turned around and looked at the signalman. At this moment, he no longer had the confrontational emotions he had towards the top leaders of the Second War Zone. Instead, he said kindly, "Little comrade, go on."

"The Japanese soldiers in Xinkou started to pursue 217. Many of them had no intention of stopping when they occupied the Xinkou position and just kept on pursuing. Even the Japanese soldiers' orders were completely useless at this moment. It seemed that they could not control their hatred for 217 at all."

"The 217th Regiment of the 67th launched an attack at the top of the hill. Commander Zhu used up all the machine gun bullets in the regiment to buy the most critical time for the 217th to retreat. However, the Japanese were not repelled and continued to chase. Now the closest to the 217th is the Sakamoto Battalion of the 1st Mixed Brigade. They have reached the second line of defense after Xinkou!"

At this time, the boss smiled and looked at the people in front of him: "Did you hear that? Although Xinkou was lost, the defense line has not been completely breached. 217 still has a second line of defense! Everyone, shouldn't you be ready to tighten your belt at this time?"

……

Lingshan, division headquarters.

"report!"

"217 signalman has been ordered to report the battle situation at the front line!"

"Enter!"

After the deputy commander of the 115th Division shouted, Xu Chaoyang's signalman walked into the house, carrying a bag to the commander's side, put it down silently, and then returned to the door and said: "Report, the Xinkou defense line has been breached by the Japanese invaders..."

"Is the loss of 217 big?" Director Luo stood up immediately. At the same time, many leaders put down their work, and the commander of the 115th Division, who was writing the "Operation Plan", also slowly raised his head, but the pocket in front of him that he didn't recognize at all attracted his attention.

"Is this what Xu Chaoyang asked you to bring here?"

The messenger smiled and said, "Yes, he asked me to pass on a message, asking me not to change a single word... Yeah! Yeah!" He cleared his throat and imitated Xu Chaoyang and said, "Tell the commander that this is a gift from me, Xu Chaoyang!"

The commander smiled unconsciously and opened his pocket. After seeing what was inside, he grabbed a few fried soybeans and put them into his mouth. There was a "crunch" sound between his teeth when he chewed.

The signalman continued at this moment: "The Japanese have sent out armored vehicles and tanks. If we continue to hold on to Xinkou, we will probably suffer unacceptable casualties. Therefore, we decided to make a tactical retreat. The 67th Regiment will block the enemy from the top of the hill on the west side. The 716th and 688th Regiments have completed the construction of the second line of defense behind Xinkou. They will catch the Japanese off guard when they pursue us."

"At the same time, the New 716nd Regiment, which was the first to withdraw, has already formed a third line of defense behind the 688th and th Regiments. We will do our best to prevent the Japanese from reaching Xin County within seven days and buy time for the various units to build defensive fortifications!"

The communicator also straightened his body at this moment, as if the military appearance and military demeanor he displayed at this moment represented 217, and he dared not be careless at all.

"it is good!"

The commander of the 115th Division stood up, walked a few steps to the signalman and said, "Tell Xu Chaoyang..."

After saying this, he turned his head left and right, and under the gaze of the commanders of the 386th Brigade and the 120th Division, he said: "After the great victory at Xinkou, I will personally celebrate for him!"

"yes!!!!"

The signalman's shout made all the leaders laugh, except for the commander of the 386th Brigade, who asked, "772nd Regiment, no news yet?"

"Report, no movement so far."

……

In the vast mountains, Wang Jinshan of the 772nd Regiment squatted on the top of the mountain and looked down, all he saw were the Japanese invaders!

He was alone in the moonlight, muttering: "What the hell is this?"

He received the notice from 217, but due to the bombing of the oil depot of the 2nd Mixed Brigade, he was delayed in time. When he arrived at the designated location, he was already much later than the original plan. When he arrived at the place, the entire 772 Regiment was exhausted. How could Wang Jinshan let the troops fight again? He quickly ordered the whole army to rest, so he hid in the mountains for a whole day and night before pulling the team out. Only then did the messenger find it.

But after finding them, the order was to have the 772nd Regiment withdraw quickly...

Wang Jinshan watched the Japanese pouring out from Ruyuekou. If he dared to move, he would be killed by the Japanese. Who would dare to move at this time? He had to cover his buttocks to fart!
What can Wang Jinshan do?
He has hidden himself in the mountains, and no matter how fierce the fighting at Xinkou is, he cannot show up. The key point is that before the fighting started, no one said that the Japanese would send so many troops to Xinkou... Isn't this nonsense?

"Captain."

Wang Jinshan looked at the Japanese soldiers swarming in his eyes and grinned at the person beside him: "How about I give you this job as the regiment commander?"

The boy shook his head like a rattle, and his lips made a 'rumbling' sound before he responded, "I can't do it." Then he said, "What should we do next?"

"Wait, then."

Wang Jinshan looked at the devils filling the pit and said, "These guys don't know they're going to be dead soon. Let's wait here for them to get into our pockets. We'll talk about it after they're all in!"

He is really courageous. Including this time, this is the second time he disobeyed orders on the battlefield!
