Chapter 10: Bullshit Order to Stand By
"Regimental Commander Xiang Wenbin!"
"I am Staff Officer Yang Biao from the Military Department, and I am now serving as the Liaison Officer for your regiment."
"We have just received an order from the Military Department."
"Your regiment is to stand by in place immediately and await the latest notification from the Military Department."
As soon as Yang Biao finished speaking, Zhang Kang roared immediately.
"What kind of bullshit order is that?"
"From Dunwu Temple to the Qiaotingzhai line, the 16th Division is currently retreating."
The Japanese squad leader leading the team kept the company commander's order deeply in mind.
Although the number of people was high, Yu Hua's two platoons had increased their firepower.
"Regimental Commander, we cannot wait any longer."
He had clearly sent troops to search the high ground on both sides of the street.
After Yang Biao and Zhang Kang separated, Xiang Wenbin's gaze fell upon Zhang Kang.
Why had the retreating National Revolutionary Army not been discovered by the search squad?
Seeing their squad leader hit by a bullet and fall to the ground, the Japanese soldiers...
It was almost time.
Seeing Yang Biao walk forward, Zhang Kang did not retreat; he also stepped forward.
Before he died, Guitian Tailang was still quite bewildered.
After receiving the order, Zhang Kang ran forward immediately.
Seeing the high ground, three Japanese machine gunners fired toward the high ground.
"Good, our regiment will block this gap." Xiang Wenbin's eyes burned with intensity.
Yu Hua pulled out the Hanyang Rifle in his hand, his gaze locked onto the Japanese squad leader, Guitian Tailang.
"Besides, the current situation on the front line is chaotic, and our Sichuan Army has just arrived at the Songhu Battlefield."
"Rashly launching an attack will very likely be disadvantageous to our Sichuan Army."
"Our regiment must block this gap at Dunwu Temple."
Two machine guns were set up at each end of the street, with two machine guns in the middle.
"Once the Japanese stabilize their positions..."
Regimental Commander Xiang Wenbin and Deputy Regiment Commander Xie Linfeng.
At this moment.
However, this time the firing sequence of the machine gun Firepower Points had to be adjusted slightly.
The soldiers hiding in the ruins also stood up cautiously.
Zhang Kang straightened his clothes, "Regimental Commander."
There were now six Light Machine Guns and three Grenade Launchers.
"How are you going to fight this battle?"
Pay attention to the high ground of the civilian houses on both sides of the street.
Plus, their clothes had already been covered with grass and wood ash.
However, after the Japanese were hit once...
Inside the civilian house!
"You are still bickering here."
This time!
The Ambush was the same as the last one.
Seeing a Captain dare to talk back to him, Yang Biao's eyes narrowed.
Seeing that the dozen or so Japanese soldiers had not found the retreating National Revolutionary Army soldiers.
Zhang Kang saw this Military Department Staff Officer persistently trying to persuade the Regimental Commander to stand by in place.
Zhang Kang glared at Yang Biao, "What kind of bullshit order is that?"
"Continue the search and advance, move toward the next street."
The Japanese had completely entered the street.
But the 16th Division's defensive line had already been breached by the Japanese.
A Japanese squad was dispatched to search the civilian houses on the high ground.
The sounds of Rifles and Machine Guns echoed continuously in the air.
"The longer we drag this out, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."
It was understandable that the Japanese search was very thorough.
Therefore, the Japanese had not discovered the ambushers inside the civilian houses at all.
After all, this small Western-style house was the high ground that blocked the street.
"Right now, the Japanese are about to charge up, our regiment must take the initiative to attack."
Captured a squad's worth of Japanese weapons.
His temper flared up as well.
The three-story Western-style house where he was hiding had been searched by Japanese soldiers back and forth three times.
At this moment, Yu Hua also crawled out from the ruins.
"Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous for our defense."
Yang Biao walked up to Zhang Kang, "You brat, say 'bullshit order' one more time."
His hands reached out to grab Zhang Kang's shoulders, and Zhang Kang saw the opponent make a move.
"All of you, get apart!"
They did not enter the civilian houses again to search.
The wailing Japanese soldiers were immediately met with a dense rain of bullets.
He felt that this kid had a kind of ruffian nature about him.
Watching the rapidly moving Sichuan Army, Yang Biao was left with a deep impression of Zhang Kang.
The two of them hurriedly pulled Zhang Kang and Yang Biao apart, "What time the hell is this?"
After confirming there was no one there, they withdrew.
"This is also like being in the dark, not knowing the specific battle situation."
"The little Japanese's Bayonet is already about to be shoved into our noses, for God's sake."
Guitian Tailang breathed a sigh of relief, and he waved his Command Sword.
Whether it was the Sichuan Army soldiers or the routed soldiers of the 16th Division, they were all pouring a rain of bullets onto the Japanese.
"When a general is away... he is not bound by the orders of his superiors."
"Regimental Commander Xiang!"
The Japanese entered the street.
Because the Japanese soldiers had already searched the high ground on both sides of the street, they did so after entering the alleyway.
They have become smarter now.
"No matter how we fight, it's better than staying here in place waiting to be hit."
"The little Japanese might have already occupied the position by now."
His eyes widened as he looked at Yang Biao, "This is a bullshit order, damn it."
Aiming at the Japanese soldiers on the street.
This time, Yu Hua still adopted the same ambush tactics as last time.
"To hell with this bullshit standby order."
"We did not find any routed National Revolutionary Army soldiers in the civilian houses on the high ground."
He also led his team and ran forward.
"Regimental Commander, there is an old saying."
"1st Company Commander... Zhang Kang!" Xiang Wenbin finished saying.
Yu Hua led two Platoons of soldiers.
They were hiding in the ruins of civilian houses on both sides of the city street.
Yang Biao's chest heaved as he let out a long, foul breath.
The two Machine Guns in the middle swept across the Japanese soldiers on the street.
"Otherwise!"
Yang Biao didn't say another word and just took action.
"Charge up immediately and retake the position."
"Squad Leader Guitian, it's the same here; we didn't find any routed National Revolutionary Army soldiers."
Guitian Tailang was shot in the center of his forehead and fell into a pool of blood.
With such good equipment, ambushing these 100 or so Japanese soldiers in front of them was no problem at all.
Yu Hua counted them; there was more than one squad of Japanese soldiers on the street, the number approaching two squads.
He was a bit unsure.
They slowly came to the doors and windows and extended their guns.
"Boom!"
Because this alleyway was simply too long.
"It will be difficult for us to take it back."
They shouted one after another, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
Fortunately, he was hidden well enough that the Japanese soldiers did not discover him.
"The whole Regiment, assemble, Rapid March for me."
"I won't be polite to you."
"Reporting to the Squad Leader."
"Our Regiment... must take advantage of the fact that the little Japanese have not yet established a firm footing."
Squad Leader Guitian Tailang was still uneasy.
Seeing Xiang Wenbin in deep thought, Zhang Kang grinned.
When saying this, Zhang Kang glanced at Yang Biao.
"Why the hell are we still executing this bullshit order?"
After the Machine Gun strafing.
This time!
He wanted to take out the little Japanese commander.
The Crossfire from the two Machine Guns caused the Japanese to fall in droves.
Watching Zhang Kang run away, Yang Biao's gaze fell upon Xiang Wenbin.
"The latest order passed down by the Military Headquarters is to stand by in place."
There were a hundred and some people.
Xiang Wenbin rubbed his head; the current order from the military department was to stand by in place.
The soldiers led by Yu Hua were hiding in the ruins.
The soldiers hiding inside were covered with some thin wooden boards.
"Except for weapons, ammunition, and medical supplies, throw everything else away."
He also made a move, and the two of them instantly grappled together.
It is a bit difficult for six Machine Guns to completely pin down the Japanese devils.
"This is to say, your Regiment is not allowed to attack without authorization."
"Regimental Commander Xiang, who is this person?"
Gunshots rang out in the silent street.
The Japanese devils entered the civilian house and only took a rough look.
The Crossfire net sent the Japanese soldiers on the street scurrying away with their heads in their hands.
It was difficult for the Japanese soldiers to even raise their guns to fight back.
