War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 582: Don't fight back when you are scolded or beaten
"We fought for two whole days without a single infantry attack. All the artillery shells were directed at one wall. By the time I came back, Xin County had no chance to fight back except for one shot..."

The scout from 217 came back. When he recounted the battle situation in Xin County, everyone in the yard frowned!
"The city wall of Xin County was mottled everywhere after being bombed. From the top of the hill, I saw craters everywhere inside and outside the city wall. There was no intact house within nearly a hundred meters of the city wall. All I could see were ruins..."

"In the space of two days, Xin County lost at least one regiment of troops, while the Japanese lost at most one squadron."

"Their leaders hardly had to command the battles anymore. As soon as it got dark, they would lead their men out to repair the city walls. But they were never able to do it in time... Once, the Japanese took advantage of the opportunity and opened fire from a long distance. All the soldiers in a company fell under the dense ammunition blanket, and less than one-tenth of them were able to return."

How can the word "tragic" be enough to describe the battle situation in the defense of Xin County?

But this is what the defenders call taking advantage in modern warfare... times have changed!

In this era, there will no longer be ladders used to attack cities as in ancient wars, and the soldiers defending the city will only be faced with large-caliber artillery shells.

Unless the city walls are blown down...

"I also heard... I heard a shout coming from Xin County at the foot of the mountain. I don't know who shouted, but I heard the voice clearly."

Xu Chaoyang quickly asked: "What did he shout?"

The scout looked up at Xu Chaoyang and said, "He shouted, 'If 217 dared to lose, why don't you dare to win?'"

Xu Chaoyang's scalp felt numb.

It feels numb like an electric shock...

Before he came to this era, he just wanted to kill the devils quickly and restore the reputation of the people of Northeast China. He didn't expect that he would become a benchmark after coming to this era!
Once you use the word "dare" between losing and winning, how hard have you been pushed?
"report!"

Another scout ran back, jumped off his horse at the gate of the manor, and rushed into the manor.

When he rushed in front of the people in the courtyard, he forgot to stand at attention and said, "The 218th Brigade under Yang Aiyuan of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army launched an attack on the Xinkou position. One regiment of soldiers fought with the Japanese on the position, another regiment detoured on a narrow road and provided flanking fire cover, and the third regiment crossed the mountains and ridges, carrying submachine guns and launched a three-sided siege on the Xinkou position!"

He swallowed his saliva eagerly, wishing he could immediately take out the hot food in his stomach...

"But the Japanese soldiers occupying our 217th position were not afraid at all. They left only 218 people on the position to defend against the 218th Brigade's submachine gun attack, and the rest of them all went into the bunker. Then there were machine gun fire everywhere, causing heavy losses to the th Brigade. In almost four hours, they were repelled eight times."

Eight attacks...

Xu Chaoyang raised the number "eight" with his fingers. He knew exactly how many corpses would be left behind in these eight attacks!

Those are human lives!!!
Xu Chaoyang was worried that some link might go wrong, causing problems for the entire front. Then the scout spoke again: "Fortunately, we have taken the Xinkou position!"

"We?" Xu Chaoyang was so puzzled. Where could he find soldiers in Xinkou?
"It's the 772nd Regiment, the 386nd Regiment of the 772th Brigade!"

"They took advantage of the night after a whole day of fierce fighting to raid the Xinkou position, heading straight for Xinkou from the Ekou direction. After running 772 miles along the mountain road, they rushed to the position and fought with the devils with bayonets. Before that, the 218nd Regiment, which had always maintained a concealed march, did not fire a single shot... The th Brigade rushed up and seized the Xinkou position, and there was only less than a squadron of devils left on the Xinkou position."

A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Chaoyang's face. It was a subconscious reaction.

But as soon as the smile appeared on his face, he controlled himself and put it back, and asked coldly, "And then?" The subtle change in his expression fully revealed his mental state at the moment.

Although his expression had calmed down, Xu Chaoyang still hadn't let go of his worries. According to the current situation, the most anxious ones should be the Japanese. Even if the 218th Brigade and the 772nd Regiment jointly guarded the Xinkou position, they would inevitably be subjected to artillery bombardment and air strikes!
"report!"

"Notification from Lingshan Division Headquarters!"

The signalman walked in with a square step. Xu Chaoyang scolded him: "Hurry up! This is not a girl's wedding, what are you reluctant to give up?"

The signalman took a few quick steps, opened the excerpted paper in front of Xu Chaoyang, and read: "The 385th Regiment of the 769th Brigade attacked Yangmingbao at night, blew up more than ten enemy planes, destroyed an airstrip, and destroyed an ammunition depot, and then evacuated urgently! Desheng triumphed!"

Xu Chaoyang asked: "Why don't you write down the number of enemies killed and the number of casualties?"

Deputy Director Li stopped him from asking. He knew the social etiquette very well: "If it's not written, it means there is not much profit. Would you write double-digit enemy annihilation figures and large losses in such a brilliant record? Isn't that a tiger?" "Can you?"

"You see?"

Deputy Director Li gave an accurate qualitative answer with a question, leaving Xu Chaoyang at a loss as to where to start his rebuttal.

"Where is the 769th Regiment currently located?"

"Xinkou, hold the defense line with the 772nd Regiment."

Xu Chaoyang murmured, "That is to say, on the current Xinkou defense line, there are two regiments, 772 and 769, plus a brigade of 218..." This strength is almost the same as the 217 troops when he was guarding the Xinkou defense line before, but what they have to face is the counterattack of the entire Chahar Corps!

"Report!!!"

A communications soldier in a Kuomintang military uniform rushed in, carrying a briefcase. He took out a document bag from it in a formal manner, then saluted Xu Chaoyang and said, "Notice from the Second War Zone Command."

Xu Chaoyang returned the military salute: "Read it!"

"Two hours after the 769th Regiment's surprise attack on Yangmingbao ended last night, our troops were attacked by the 15nd Regiment of the 2th Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army at Shiling Pass. Shiling Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is all uphill, so mechanized troops have difficulty moving. Therefore, the Japanese can only drive the infantry to launch an offensive towards Shiling Pass. Overnight, Shiling Pass was attacked four times, with 880 casualties and enemies killed!"

As if to show off, the Kuomintang signalman raised his head as he closed the document and uttered the last word: "Victory!"

That arrogant energy...

There are positive results.

Liu Gener stood up and staggered over, cursing and saying something: "Who the hell are you talking to?"

Xu Chaoyang raised his arm and stood in front of him. He smiled and looked at the signalman in front of him, clasped his fists, and said, "Tell Commander Hao Mengling for me that Chaoyang is here to congratulate him on his achievements!"

Xu Chaoyang endured it!
As long as he can defeat the Japanese, he is willing to endure all the communications soldiers in the country, but this requires the lives of the Japanese!
Deputy Director Li pulled Xu Chaoyang aside and whispered, "Hurry up, while no one has time to pay attention to us, let Lao Yang and the others enter Taiyuan!"

Before he could finish his words, Wang Tianhao came back angrily from outside the door.

Wow!

He threw the purse onto the stone table in the yard, and said with a rage that he could not vent: "They chased him out..."

"What's going on?" Xu Chaoyang turned his head and asked.

"What's going on? They wouldn't even let me in, and they said they don't want a cent of the 217 yuan."

Wang Tianhao rolled up his sleeves to show the red marks on his arms and said, "Look at where I scratched you! That old woman pushed and scratched me and blocked me at the door."

"You should have listened to Deputy Director Li and not gone. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened."

Xu Chaoyang took a deep breath. Today was the seventh day after his brother Yu Minghao's death. In the Northeast, this was the day for a funeral...

"Did you cause any trouble?" Xu Chaoyang asked specifically.

Wang Tianhao shook his head: "I don't talk back when I'm scolded or hit, I'm going after the rat."

　I'll take a break today, my waist hurts and feels like it's being pricked by needles. I'll continue tomorrow. Anyway, there are only a few pictures left to finish.
