War of Resistance: Glory of the Beasts

Chapter 64: Human or beast, choose for yourself! (Thanks to '七籽橘子' for the tip!)
The bunker trench is actually different from the trenches in movies and TV dramas, and the bunker is definitely not just the soil dug out from the ground.

Take the bunker trench dug by Xu Chaoyang and his men for example. The entire trench bunker is made of gravel and compacted wet soil, which can effectively prevent the penetration of the Type 38 rifle.

Why do we need to use wet soil outside?
It's very simple, just as Xu Chaoyang told his men, a bunker covered with wet soil and compacted can be covered by enemy machine gun fire and cause stone and wood chips to splash during artillery fire. The wet soil can effectively prevent such accidental injuries.

On the battlefield, it's not just bullets and shrapnel that can kill people, but also wood chips and stone chips brought up by shock waves.

If anyone has studied modern wars, they will be surprised to find that the casualty rate will gradually decrease as all the details are done better and better.

Therefore, Xu Chaoyang was always very strict and meticulous when teaching his subordinates tactical skills.

"Brother, there are too many people. There are more devils than the last time we encountered them."

Qu Yong sucked his teeth and felt a little worried. The Japanese they fought last time didn't have grenade launchers!

"Last time we fought against two squads of the devils, but judging from the personnel deployment this time, the devils in front of us should be a full squad."

Xu Chaoyang watched more carefully from a bird's-eye view on the hillside. This group of Japanese soldiers were obviously more well-trained than the ones he had encountered before. After the car stopped, the soldiers in the car got out with all their equipment without being told, and then quickly looked for shelters nearby.

A Japanese soldier from the grenade group raised his thumb and observed the position of the stronghold, constantly adjusting the angle of the grenade launcher's muzzle; the machine gun group, under the cover of a rifle squad, placed two pheasant necks on the mountainside and the bottom of the mountain next to it, facing the stronghold gate. At the same time, a separate rifle squad was moving towards the top of another hill, probably trying to find the commanding heights.

Judging from the rhythm of the opponent's battlefield layout, there is a sense of machinery that has been practiced thousands of times. Who moves first and who moves later seems to be in order, like gears that are running and constantly meshing.

After everyone had moved, a Japanese soldier stood up on the top of the mountain and waved his arms at the machine gun crew on the mountainside. The machine gun crew quickly put away their guns and rushed to the top of the mountain, forming a combination of high and low point firepower.

Seeing this, Xu Chaoyang snatched the cigarette that Qu Yong had been holding but had not yet lit from his mouth, and said in the tiniest voice, "Don't fight if you can!"

He understood that these should be the elite of the Japanese army. Even if there was only a small team of this elite, the momentum of having experienced battlefields and the invincible demeanor of the Japanese under the current situation had been fully demonstrated.

It is completely nonsense to expect such troops to launch a "suicide charge" towards the hilltop after you fire your gun, or to try to destroy the opponent's command system. Even if Xu Chaoyang has amazing accuracy and can kill the commander with a command knife with one shot, this team cannot fall into chaos.

They are not bandits, nor are they ragtag gangs. Maybe they are from North Korea, or they have fought with the Russians. When fighting with such people, you have to be extremely careful unless you find any obvious flaws.

This is a battlefield!

"Hua'er, I will empty the Czech magazine in a moment. When I pick up the Hua machine gun, I will slow down my firing speed. No matter what sound you hear, just concentrate on loading the magazine. You can tremble and be afraid, but you must not stop the work in your hands. Do you understand?"

Huaer had never seen Xu Chaoyang so serious, and nodded heavily.

"Xiucai!"

Xu Chaoyang lowered his voice again and shouted to Tong Meng who was squatting next to the oil drum.

Tong Meng was still the same. He turned his head and looked at him without responding.

"Adjust the angle of the gun barrel, shorten the fuse of the explosive pack, calculate the explosion time, and make sure the explosive pack explodes as soon as it hits the ground!"

This is Xu Chaoyang's only heavy firepower, and he will not allow any mistakes, even though his request just now was to avoid fighting if possible.

In this era that is not "infantry special warfare", the isolated and helpless Xu Chaoyang must calculate every one of his armpit hairs into his combat power. Even so, he cannot be sure of the result after his combat power is fully exerted.

Huh. The early spring mountain wind blew up the floating dust on the ground. In the gaps between the shaking branches and leaves in the forest, outside the gate of the mountain village, the quiet air seemed to foreshadow the upcoming tragedy.

After Xu Chaoyang made a downward gesture to everyone, everyone slowly lowered their heads behind the cover.

"broken!"

The second sister slapped her thigh suddenly as if she remembered something, and squatted in the trench, feeling very upset.

Xu Chaoyang looked over and saw his second sister taking a deep breath and opening her mouth to say, "Yingzi, Yingzi is still in the village!"

Yingzi is the pregnant woman who is about to give birth. When Xu Chaoyang heard this, he pointed his index finger at his second sister with an angry face, and he couldn't suppress his anger anymore.

"Master, a pregnant woman sometimes sleeps... and cannot be awakened, and you allow her not to participate in training..."

Xu Chaoyang now wants to kill his second sister!

If he had known about this earlier, he would never have allowed the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain to deploy so easily. He would have opened fire the moment the other party got out of the car, hid all the Japs behind the car, and then set up the unscrupulous cannons and bombarded them to death!

Now that the high and low firepower points have been arranged, the grenade launcher positions have been clearly arranged, and the infantry squads have deployed around the firepower points, showing a posture of fighting a tough battle. At this time, you fucking remember that there is a pregnant woman in the village?
For a qualified battlefield commander, even if he heard any news at this time, he had to pretend not to hear it. The cruelty of war is that at some stages, even though you know the result is destruction, you have to abandon your people, because there is no room for even a trace of emotion on the battlefield.

So Xu Chaoyang never treated them well, and didn't have any feelings for them, but at this moment, he still...

Perhaps Xu Chaoyang had never experienced such cruelty. The education he received in the army was "never abandon, never give up", which made him feel an indescribable annoyance.

The second sister was so anxious that she shook her head left and right to check other people's expressions. As her head was shaking, her lips kept trembling, as if she was in a very difficult situation.

"Not allowed to move!"

"Don't think too much!"

"Don't even think about going back to save people..."

When Xu Chaoyang said these three sentences, he felt as if something was suppressing his breathing. What he should decide is not which life is more important, a pregnant woman or his own ten lives, but whether he should completely abandon his conscience and stare with red eyes like a wild beast.

At this time, the wind stopped.

"The boss?"

"Second sister?"

"flower?"

A woman's cry was heard from the village.

Miyamoto Yoshio, who was at the foot of the mountain, instantly drew out his command knife and shouted at the mountain stronghold, "Shoot!"
