Chapter 16: The Proposal for Street Fighting is Rejected (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Zhang Kang also believed in capturing the Field Position outside the city.

It would be much better for the upcoming defense.

Yu Hua saw that two companies of troops were about to be used in hand-to-hand combat to capture the position outside the city.

He hurriedly stepped forward to explain his view to Zhang Kang and Tang Haojie.

The equipment gap between the two armies was too great.

It would be better to abandon the Field Position outside the city and hold the city directly.

Fighting the Japanese devils street by street and house by house.

The Japanese camp opposite the Field Position also did not expect the Republic of China Army to counterattack so quickly.

"From now on, when we fight the Japanese devils, let's just fight them to the death."

"We annihilated two Japanese companies."

Hacking wildly at the Japanese devils.

As he spoke, Zhang Kang was about to flank the Japanese from the side.

Upon hearing this, Liao Junjie immediately came to Zhang Kang's side, "Brother Zhang Kang!"

Yu Hua pushed the door open, the Bayonet gripped in his right hand looking like a sharp sword.

Discovering that there were simply too many enemy troops, they began to retreat one after another.

Two companies of Sichuan Army soldiers, holding weapons, lay in ambush inside the city.

Hearing this, Xiang Wenbin nodded.

He was so angry that his eyes turned red.

Because, as old officers from the era of warlord infighting, the two of them valued the Field Position outside the city very much.

"Japanese soldiers are not afraid of death; even if they are wounded, they will still entangle you."

The Japanese on the Field Position were modifying the fortifications built by the 16th Division and were unaware of the changes inside the city.

"In future battles, our Sichuan Army will take no prisoners."

This Japanese soldier let out a painful wail.

"This is the order given to our Regiment by the Military Headquarters."

"Our mission is to hold Dunwu Temple."

After taking the Field Position.

They would be shot and killed within two seconds.

Most of the Japanese devils were still immersed in the joy of crushing the Central Army's 16th Division.

"A dead devil is a good devil; who the hell needs prisoners?"

"Provide fire cover, I'm going to take out the Japanese machine gunner."

To put distance between his company and the pursuing National Revolutionary Army.

Just at this moment.

"Wounded Japanese devils are also restless, the bastards; they quietly use Hand Grenades to blow up a group of people."

Now that the Sichuan Army was in pursuit, they had to counterattack, and both sides engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle.

After speaking, Xiang Wenbin looked at Yu Hua, "You kid have really opened my eyes."

"You stay here and command the troops."

Every shot was fatal... and now this Heavy Machine Gun.

Xiang Wenbin's Regiment Headquarters was set up in a small Western-style building in the Dunwusi City District.

"There are remnants of the National Revolutionary Army hiding in the room."

"Now only two Platoons are left."

But!

Zhang Kang and Tang Haojie directly ignored Yu Hua's proposal.

He led his troops into the city district.

He shouted, "Machine Gun!"

"If we abandon the position outside the city, and the neighboring friendly units find out..."

"I'll take men up there to blow up the Japanese devils' machine gun."

"Baka!"

More than a company of Japanese devils, carrying Type 38 Rifles, charged toward the Dunwusi City District.

"If you find any National Revolutionary Army soldiers, kill them immediately."

Outside the city!

The leading Japanese company commander had the machine gunner conduct a fire reconnaissance.

"Good!" Zhang Kang saw this scene and clapped his hands happily.

"Make sure not to let the devils run away."

It was this one look that made the Japanese soldier scream.

"Stop chasing, hurry and take cover."

"Indeed!"

After entering the city, the Japanese soldiers scattered.

Deputy Regiment Commander Xie, who was on the side, also said: "Our Sichuan Army is fighting its first battle today."

Yu Hua grinned, "Regimental Commander!"

"Ugh, ugh..."

"We have already reinforced the Field Position."

Several Japanese soldiers immediately carried a Heavy Machine Gun and moved forward quickly.

Zhang Kang saw the Japanese soldiers fleeing and shouted, "Brothers, chase them for me!"

The sudden bayonet charge caught this company of Japanese soldiers off guard.

In the fan-shaped area swept by the Heavy Machine Gun, over a dozen Sichuan Army soldiers pursuing them fell.

Watanabe Koji... saw that both the primary and assistant gunners of the Heavy Machine Gun position had been taken out by a single shot each from the National Revolutionary Army.

"Search every single civilian house thoroughly for me."

The Sichuan Army needed to fully recover the positions previously lost by the 16th Division along the line from Dunwu Temple to Qiaotingzhai.

By the time the Japanese officers at the front line wanted to send reinforcements, the positions outside the city had already been recaptured by the Republic of China Army.

"You kid, cover me properly."

"This is truly damn strange."

"Da-da-da!! —"

"If it were up to me..."

They chased a company of Japanese soldiers out of the urban area and pursued them to the Field Position outside the city.

"We in the Sichuan Army are poor, too; we lack clothes and food."

Zhang Kang's eyes widened; he had not expected Yu Hua's marksmanship to be this good.

In the end, the Sichuan Army successfully took the Field Position outside the city and wiped out all the Japanese soldiers on the position.

The Bayonet was thrust into the Japanese soldier's eye, and the Japanese soldier covered his eye and screamed.

"Abandoning a position without authorization will lead to a Military Tribunal."

"The combat effectiveness of these Japanese soldiers is indeed very strong."

The bullet tore through the sky, whipping up a wave of air.

Thrusting toward the Japanese soldier's eye.

Furthermore, the order from the Regiment Headquarters was also to recapture the lost position outside the city.

Wei Dayong grinned and said, "It's our 1st Platoon Leader, Yu Hua."

"Continue the charge for me!"

At this moment, the Heavy Machine Gun position had become a mere display, and the National Revolutionary Army was pursuing from all directions.

After struggling on the ground for a few moments, all signs of life vanished.

"Today we are fighting a bayonet battle, two companies of brothers."

"Having no experience, after this battle..."

Xiang Wenbin patted the Deputy Regiment Commander's shoulder, "Fine!"

"How about you listen to my opinion; our regiment will fight Urban Warfare."

"Quickly... quickly..."

"The position outside the city is the first line of defense for Dunwu Temple; this position must absolutely not be lost."

The ammunition bearer fed the machine gun, and after the Japanese machine gunner pulled the bolt, he pulled the trigger.

"Regimental Commander!"

The Japanese machine gunner was shot in the head.

They also rushed out from their hiding spots, everyone using their Broadswords.

"Many soldiers are also encountering this for the first time."

"Weng-weng-weng!! —"

"These Japanese soldiers, they won't surrender even in death."

"You have seen the results yourself."

But!

"And they're still playing suicide charges with you, damn it."

The soldiers of the Sichuan Army.

"Our regiment will do it this way from now on."

Zhang Kang shouted.

Even the Japanese company commander, Watanabe Koji, was fleeing backward himself.

Watanabe Koji had no choice but to lead his troops and retreat, though he was unwilling.

Zhang Kang immediately called for men to reinforce the fortifications.

It had become synonymous with death; any Imperial Warrior who went to make contact...

Yu Hua was hiding in a civilian house.

Watanabe Koji, who had run out, looked at the Sichuan Army pursuing from the rear.

The soldier opposite who opened fire and shot the Imperial machine gunner had very accurate marksmanship.

Zhang Kang shouted, "Kill the Japanese!"

A series of tongues of fire spat out.

"Cover the retreat of the Imperial Warriors!"

"What kind of magic potion did this Japanese Emperor feed these Japanese soldiers?"

"Once reported, this will bring trouble to our Sichuan Army."

In an instant, the Japanese Heavy Machine Gun began to roar.

"Even with only one person left, these Japanese soldiers won't surrender and still dare to fight us!"

Watanabe Koji had originally wanted to use this Heavy Machine Gun to block the pursuing National Revolutionary Army.

Just like that!

Two companies of the Sichuan Army were like herding ducks.

"If we capture a live devil, we still have to cater to him."

Yu Hua beheaded the first devil soldier; in fact, it only took a few seconds.

A bullet emitted waves of sonic booms.

Zhang Kang brought Yu Hua to the Regiment Headquarters.

The little devils who came numbered about two hundred and twenty-plus men.

Before Yu Hua could finish speaking, Xiang Wenbin interrupted him.

"Once the sound of guns and artillery rings out, the whole company must listen to me."

However, now is not the time to think about these things.

The devil soldiers set up the Machine Gun position at the fastest speed.

Zhang Kang flicked his hand, "Damn it, I am the Company Commander."

"Take out the devil machine gunner with one shot."

"Who fired that shot!?"

"That's enough!"

Two companies of the Sichuan Army chased the little devils closely, catching up to them and hacking away with Broadswords.

This way, they could strike the little devils while reducing unnecessary casualties.

And then call for artillery support.

"This time, we suffered a loss."

Company Commander Watanabe Koji waved the Command Sword in his hand.

"Lead two Platoons of soldiers."

After the little devils fought for a while.

Yu Hua stepped forward quickly, drew his Bayonet, and slashed across the devil soldier's neck.

A little devil poked his head out and took a look through the crack in the door.

After finishing the fortifications, the sky began to dim.

"Rip!"
