War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 594: This is the moment we’ve been waiting for!
"Your Mightiness!"

"The commander of the Fifth Division has issued an order. He ordered us to end the battle of Xinzhou as soon as possible. We must arrive outside Taiyuan before Niangzi Pass is breached, and attack Taiyuan together with the Fifth Division."

A soldier delivered a document to Ben Zhengduocai's tent, and at this moment Ben Zhengduocai was reading the battle damage report of Xin County!
As the city wall of Xin County was blown down, Ben Zhengduocai put all the armored forces of the four mixed brigades into the gap in the city wall, hoping to use the iron wall of the mechanical troops to quickly break through the gap in the city wall, so as to occupy Xin County and find a place for the other four mixed brigades in Xinzhou to settle down...

But he had no idea that he would actually meet a madman in Xinzhou!

A bunch of lunatics!!!
These people stood in a row and rushed towards the armored vehicles through the gaps in the city wall. Even if they fell down after being pierced by machine guns, they would never step back.
The soldiers of their squad were arranged vertically, and when the armored vehicle's machine gun mowed them down, it was like dominoes being pushed down. It was not until the last soldier was under the muzzle of the gun that the driver of the armored vehicle saw from the observation window that the man was carrying a smoking bag of explosives.

boom! ! ! !

When a huge explosion was heard at the gap in the city wall, Ben Zhengduocai was shaking just looking at the report. He didn't know what the mixed brigade that was attacking Xin County was doing, but the attacks in the past few days had cost that unit an entire regiment.

The cost of destroying an armored vehicle by the enemy is... based on the 'company' level units. If the battle is fought well, sometimes a 'platoon' can destroy one.

They are using human lives to exchange for the scrapping of armored vehicles and tanks. In the past few days, the entire armored force has lost as many as 15 armored vehicles and tanks!
Under the Xin County city wall, there are steel wreckages everywhere...

In other words, the number of people in Fu Zuoyi's troops who died in the explosion of armored vehicles and tanks reached 1,500.

One thousand five hundred people...

When Ben Zhengduocai was attacking the Xinkou position, he stopped the attack because he lost a battalion of a thousand people. He was afraid that further casualties would cause the army to lose morale. How did these people survive, and why could they continue to hold on?
He no longer dared to let the armored troops charge forward, so he changed to the tactic of infantry hard capture. However, the troops responsible for executing this battle plan, after sending a regiment, were completely stuck in the quagmire of Xin County.

Xin County had become a meat grinder, and Fu Zuoyi knew this very well. That's why he used the gap in the city wall of Xin County as bait to attract the enemy. He used the collapsed houses and courtyard walls of the people in the city to continuously set up defensive positions, and completely regarded the gap as a trap.

Fu Zuoyi's purpose in doing this was obvious. He didn't want them to attack other parts of the already dilapidated city wall, so he simply gave the Japanese a chance to enter the county town. However, as long as the troops rushed in, they would be strafed by six machine gun positions and artillery shells inside the city wall, and grenades would be thrown into the gap from the top of the city wall...

The most tragic situation occurred. The Japanese had captured the gaps in the city wall three times in one night. When Fu Zuoyi was commanding the battle on the top of the city wall, he took advantage of his high position and the charge of the warriors in the city to capture the gaps in the city wall three times in a row.

Right now, a large number of corpses have piled up at the gap in the city wall. Fu Zuoyi's troops mixed with the Japanese invaders have piled up a small hill at the gap in the city wall. If they want to enter the city again, they must first climb over the pile of corpses!

The number of troops responsible for attacking Xin County reported in the battle loss report had reached nearly 4,000, while the total number of people in a regiment was only more than 3,800.

How is this fight going?
"Is there any news from Shiling Pass?"

The soldier lowered his head and said, "For the past few days, we have launched a frantic attack on Shiling Pass. The tower of Shiling Pass has been completely blown down into ruins, but the enemy is defending the ruins. Hao Mengling led his team to lie in the first trench and led the soldiers to repel our attacks many times."

"According to intelligence, their Second War Zone Command has ordered Hao Mengling to break out of Shiling Pass. It seems that they want to reduce our space in Xinzhou, but Hao Mengling still holds on to Shiling Pass and does not accept the instructions from his superiors."

After his soldiers finished speaking, Ben Zhengduo pondered and said, "If it were me who was holding on, I would not accept this order."

"It's clear that the people above are unable to experience battlefield conditions and issued 'fantastic' orders."

"Shiling Pass is built on a high ground. If we attack, we have to attack from above. But if they rush out, it will be a plain and we will lose all the geographical advantages."

Ben Zhengduo was a little bit unable to think. He couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure out why this army suddenly became different. From retreating at the first blow to being able to block a thousand enemies with one man, where did the change start...

"Request air support!"

"Yangmingbao Airport has been bombed."

"Then request reinforcements from the 5th Division's mechanized forces!"

"Xinkou is completely blocked, and Guo Zongfen is still guarding the Fifth Division outside Ekou. Even if our troops want to provide support, they can't get through."

This is his quagmire!
Once all the compensatory abilities were cut off, the Japanese troops in Xinzhou seemed to be unable to withstand the losses: "Let..." He thought for a long time before realizing that he had no cards left. The 1st Mixed Brigade was attacking Xin County, the 15th Mixed Brigade was attacking Xinkou, and the 16th Mixed Brigade was attacking Shilingguan. Now his was the only idle troop in Xinzhou, and he had to be stationed next to Lingshan to prevent the th Group Army from making a sneak attack.

How could this be?
How is this different from what I initially thought?
At first, Ben Zhengduo thought that as long as one of the four mixed brigades reported victory, victory reports would come frequently. In other words, if they defeated one of them on the entire front, the rest would automatically collapse. But this time, why did none of them...

"Send the order!"

"My 2nd Mixed Brigade will rush to Xin County immediately to resolve the battle in Xin County as soon as possible!" "Your Excellency!"

"What about Lingshan?"

Ben Zhengduo turned his head instantly, looked at the devil, and said firmly: "War always involves risks!"

……

"I disagree!"

Lingshan, division headquarters.

The commander of the 115th Division intercepted the crowd and shouted loudly: "I don't agree with your battle plan. No one is allowed to leave the command center before there is a definite battle plan."

"Nonsense!"

The commander of the 120th Division glared at the commander of the 115th Division and said loudly, "The general has issued an order from the Second War Zone, asking us to quickly eliminate the 2nd Mixed Brigade deployed at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. Can you stop that with just a word of disagreement?"

"How to deal with it?"

"How are you going to deal with the situation when the Japanese are consciously on guard against sneak attacks at Lingshan? Rushing forward recklessly like this will only increase casualties. We don't even have to fight this battle. On paper, we have no chance of winning, even though the 2nd Mixed Brigade has already lost a battalion!"

The commander of the 115th Division refused to give in, glaring at everyone present, and waited until he had a good breath before he said, "We have to wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until that time when Ben Zhengduo can no longer bear the loneliness!"

"When that Masato is completely paralyzed..."

"Report!!!"

A soldier rushed into the division headquarters and said anxiously: "It seems that the 2nd Mixed Brigade is preparing to break camp!"

"like?!"

The commander of the 115th Division turned around, glared at the scout and yelled loudly.

"I..." The scout took a step back. He never expected that the division commander could be so powerful in such a situation. "I saw them cleaning up..."

"Probe again and report again!"

"Brigade 386!"

At the edge of the command center, a man who had been watching the two division commanders quarreling without trying to stop them, walked over with a smile on his face, holding his glasses with his hand. He said without any seriousness on his face, "Division Commander." Without even a word of respect.

"Prepare."

"Okay." He walked out of the command center directly.

The next second, a soldier rushed in again: "Report, the 2nd Mixed Brigade is indeed preparing to break camp, and all of us in the reconnaissance company are willing to pledge our lives to this!"

The commander of the 115th Division left the commander of the 120th Division behind, walked quickly to the map and said, "Now is the time to take action!"

"If I fight by orders...how many people will be left alive under my command?"
