War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 712: If you don’t act like a despicable person, we won’t send Yan Shuangying!

When beams of flames were splashed out by Shen Guaizi and his men, those falling on the battlefield were Japanese soldiers whose bodies were as black as charcoal and still emitting flames. These people under Shen Guaizi were like a hot current appearing on the snow in winter, constantly devouring everything around them.

"what!!!"

“It hurts so much!!!”

A Japanese soldier engulfed in flames waved his arms in fear, not knowing what to do. When the flames quickly burned through his clothes and the pain spread through his skin, he fell to the ground with his eyes closed and rolled on the ground.

But he couldn't roll anymore after a few turns. His twitching skin was tightening as the fire spread. He couldn't open his tightly closed eyes anymore. The military cap and helmet that were originally worn on his head were completely stuck together due to the melting of his hair and skin. His whole body was burned like a piece of black charcoal, and he fell to the ground with his limbs twitching, motionless.

"Captain, this thing is fun!"

The soldiers under Shen Guaizi had never used such powerful weapons. In the past, at this distance, the only way for 217 was to hang a bayonet on the rifle and fight the Japs with his physical body!
"Stop talking nonsense, our mission is to save people!"

"Charge forward, guards, follow me and rescue Captain Zhu!"

call!
Another beam of flame splashed out, and the Japanese soldiers who were hit turned into a black ball in the flames. The rest of the Japanese soldiers just dodged to the sides, but do you think this counts as dodging?
As the Japanese soldiers dodged the flames to the sides, they finally saw the situation in front of them from the thick smoke. The Chinese soldiers in gray uniforms were walking up the hillside with rifles in hand, advancing forward in a "品" shape with the group of flame-breathing soldiers...

boom! boom! boom!
When the Japanese soldier finally escaped death and avoided the splashing flames, he heard several gunshots before he could rejoice. At the moment the gunshots rang out, his chest felt as if someone had hit it hard with a hammer. He could not stand and took two steps back. Then he looked down at the bullet hole in his chest!
It was a very ordinary bullet hole, but when the blood in his mouth dripped uncontrollably and he could no longer hold up his body, he fell over and lay on the ground, with a fist-sized wound on his back!
Dum-dum bullet!
When this thing enters the human body, it is indeed a bullet hole, but after entering the body, if it encounters an obstacle, it will roll around under the skin and flesh, causing extremely serious damage inside the body. At the same time, if the shooting distance is close and it rushes out from the back, it will also induce explosive damage.

Every dum-dum bullet that penetrates the body will break into a small number of fragments while rolling inside the body, and at the moment it passes through the body, it will cause a splash of blood and flesh.

Xu Chaoyang had used this thing when he was at his wit's end, but it has been abandoned since he joined our army. If the Japanese had not used poison gas bombs first, 217 would not have been able to send out Yan Shuangying... No, it would be impossible to use dum-dum bullets.

As for the rescue tactics this time, it was Qu Yong who came up with it...

Yes, until now, 217 has no tactical configuration for the flamethrower on the battlefield. After all, this thing has not been fully used in actual combat.

But who is Qu Yong?

He lived and ate with Xu Chaoyang, and they slept on the same kang. When Xu Chaoyang was giving lectures in Yan'an, Qu Yong stood in the audience as a guard. When Xu Chaoyang was writing the outline of the textbook, Qu Yong would smoke in the room and listen to him. He was influenced by what he saw and heard.

It was under such circumstances that Qu Yong was forced to be smoked out by Xu Chaoyang, and he couldn't even recognize a single word!
When Qu Yong arrived at the battlefield and saw the situation, he knew that he could not rush in with the soldiers...

That's not rescue, let alone reinforcement, it's suicide.

So Qu Yong ordered the soldiers of the guard battalion carrying 150 heavy mortars to detour to the vicinity of Zhongzhuangpu, and ordered the entire guard battalion, led by Shen Guaizi, to carry flamethrowers and go around behind the Japanese. He himself, with the guard company of the 67th Regiment and the enemy's regiment political commissar who they met outside the mountain, appeared on the hillside and set up machine guns to make the enemy think that there was another camp of enemy troops here.

He had to constantly distract the Japanese from multiple directions, while setting up a defensive position on the hillside to tie down the Japanese, and then let Shen Guaizi attack from behind the Japanese and lead the entire guard battalion to rescue Zhu Rong from the enemy camp.

When Shen Guaizi heard this plan, he looked at Qu Yong in surprise: "Battalion Commander, I remember that you didn't pay much attention in class. How did you come up with all this?" At that second, Qu Yong seemed to have been enlightened, and remembered the "tactical immersion" with Xu Chaoyang every day. He didn't listen to the class much, but you can't resist this stuff always drilling into your ears, right?
He was annoyed when he saw those soldiers who had never fought the Japanese being his teachers, but when Xu Chaoyang went to give a lecture, even if you didn't want to listen, didn't you have to pretend...

Qu Yong didn't even know that he had learned so much under such circumstances!

He learned how to have Shen Guaizi use his depth to penetrate behind enemy lines, and attack from both sides with the guard company of the 67th Regiment led by him;

He learned to have the 150 heavy mortars brought out by the guard battalion use incendiary bombs to hit the shops, in order to bluff and disrupt the enemy's mind;

He also learned to have his men stand in a triangular formation, fearing that the Japanese would dodge under the fire! How good it was, even if they dodged, there were still the dum-dum bullets in the hands of the soldiers, which were all close combat weapons anyway, so he used them all at once.

Now, he also understood why Xu Chaoyang forced his soldiers to go into the small classroom of 217 like catching chickens. Even if you couldn't stand it and fell asleep or snored in the classroom, you had to be there, because even if one word got into your mind, it might be used on the battlefield one day.

People often become enlightened in such situations. In class, when the teacher is trying to persuade you with all kinds of words and is chasing you to teach you, but you don't learn, it is only when the critical moment comes that you will understand what "you will regret not having enough knowledge when you need it" and what "it is always better to have many skills" means.

……

"Sir, we seem to be surrounded by enemy forces!"

At the bottom of the slope, when the Japanese soldiers saw a huge fire burning in Zhongzhuangpu behind them, and saw a group of people rushing towards the direction of the troops, holding flamethrowers and fighting with their soldiers, the Japanese officers realized the seriousness of the situation.

He had a battalion of troops, but only left one squadron to guard Zhongzhuangpu. When Zhongzhuangpu caught fire and the fire was spreading so quickly, he didn't have to worry about the one squadron of soldiers in the rear... But the troops in front of him dared to attack him in such a situation, and launched an attack from multiple directions. How many troops did they have?

The Japanese officers began to lose sight...

"Report, there is at least a battalion of enemy troops attacking from behind our army!"

A battalion?

What about the people who were bombarded by the artillery fire... and the people guarding the hillside in front of us?

Is there a camp too?
Is this, another regiment of reinforcements arriving?
Where did they get so many soldiers!

"It's 217!"

The Japanese officer finally figured it out and said, "Fight with all your strength, it's 217 coming!!!"

For the Japs, 217 and the 217th Group Army are completely different things. was the unit that exploded the incendiary bomb at Xifengkou. They also used rifle grenades, armored vehicles, semi-automatic rifles and cavalry in Tianjin. This was an extremely modernized unit, and even its weapons and equipment made the Japanese invaders feel inferior.

That's why the Fifth Division had been guarding Tuanchengkou and didn't dare to advance even a little bit towards Xinkou. However, they had no idea that the 217th Division in Xinkou had already destroyed all their equipment... Otherwise, would Xu Chaoyang allow them to be so presumptuous?
