Chapter 1152 Battle of Baizhuang

Early morning, a small earthen slope on the west side of Shenze Baizhuang.

A young man ran up, crouching low, shouting, "Commander, commander, the enemy is here!"

Zhang Kedi took out the binoculars he treasured, adjusted the focus, and calmly examined the object.

Dust had already risen from the road in the distance, and squads of Japanese soldiers stood in skirmish lines, their bayonets gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Following behind them was a group of puppet troops. It seemed that these Japanese soldiers looked down on the combat capabilities of the puppet troops and simply used them as laborers to transport supplies.

At dawn, during a small meeting at the battalion headquarters, Zhang Kedi gave the order: "Comrades, our mission is to stall! Stall for as long as we can, for as long as we can, for as long as we can, for as long as we can, for as long as we can, for as long as we can, and inflict casualties on the enemy as much as possible. If we are unable to do so, we will retreat towards Anguo, where brother units will come to our aid!"

As arranged by Zhang Kedi, the company ambushed the enemy in the communication trenches east of Baizhuang. Once the battle began, they would harass the enemy's flank from the eastern communication trenches.

The Second Company was positioned in the woods directly in front of them. There was an earthen wall more than half a meter high in front of the woods, which was supported by stones. A shallow fortification was dug below it. The Second Company was responsible for using the terrain advantage to resist the enemy head-on.

He personally led the Third Company, responsible for providing fire support on the earthen slope.

The Japanese soldiers advanced cautiously. After observing the earthen fortress from afar with binoculars, the commander on horseback ordered the troops to stop.

Then, the Japanese soldiers lined up six grenade launchers!

Shells whistled down, and soon plumes of black smoke and debris flew everywhere near the earthen wall.

The experienced platoon leader growled in a low voice, "Take cover! Don't retaliate, don't retaliate, they're too far away!"

After bombing for a while, the Japanese soldiers continued their advance.

When they were less than 200 meters away from the earthen wall, the second company commander poked his head out.

"Fire! Aim and fire!"

Gunfire erupted, and the Japanese soldiers who were scouting ahead fell instantly.

The Japanese battalion commander, his face ashen, shouted from behind, "Charge! These are Eighth Route Army soldiers, their guns aren't fast enough, charge!"

The Japanese soldiers at the front of the column quickly crouched down and charged forward.

Just then, Zhang Kedi on the earthen slope ordered the guns to fire!

A crooked-handled gun spewed out flames!

"Da da da da da!"

Bullets struck the feet of the Japanese soldiers who were trying to charge, kicking up clouds of dust. The machine gunner adjusted his angle, and soon seven or eight more Japanese soldiers were hit. The rest stopped charging forward and began to retreat, guarding against the machine guns on the west side.

The Japanese battalion commander had no choice but to order his troops to retreat about 100 meters before beginning to redeploy.

The two companies launched skirmishes from the front and left respectively, while the battalion's four light machine guns and two heavy machine guns were positioned behind the earthen mounds on the east and central sides.

The captain drew his command sword: "Kill the chicken, please!"

The Japanese infantrymen crouched low, relying on the wheat fields and the craters left by previous bombings to advance little by little.

At the same time, the Japanese machine guns opened fire.

The light machine guns were responsible for suppressing the Eighth Route Army behind the earthen fortifications, while the heavy machine guns were aimed at the high ground on the north slope, not giving the Eighth Route Army machine guns another chance to fire!

These Japanese soldiers moved very nimbly, and within minutes they had advanced more than a hundred meters.

The second company commander shouted, "Brothers, the Japanese are coming again! Fight them hard!"

However, as soon as the soldiers of the Second Company peeked out, the machine gun on the other side would unleash a burst of bullets, and in just a short while, two soldiers had already been hit and fallen.

Behind the woods was a mule and horse team of the First Battalion. Chen Youdi heard the gunshots like popping beans and couldn't help but want to go forward!

Uncle Luo grabbed him, "There's land! Where are you going!"

"Uncle Luo, listen to this! The fighting is getting so fierce. What are we supposed to do in the back? I need to get to the earthen fortress!"

"Nonsense!"

Uncle Luo grabbed Chen Youdi's arm. "Soldiers must obey orders. Your task is to guard the mule and horse team. Now that you've gone forward, what will happen to these mules and horses if the team needs to retreat?"

"Uncle! You stay here with Shuanzi, I'm going to check things out up ahead!"

Uncle Luo couldn't hold on to him, and Chen Youdi broke free and ran ahead.

Uncle Luo was both anxious and angry, and could only shout, "Lie down, lie down!"

Xiao Shuanzi kept looking in that direction, "Uncle Luo, I..."

"What do you mean, 'you'?! Stay put right there!"

Xiao Shuanzi weaved through the woods and soon arrived behind the earthen wall.

At this moment, the sound of bullets exploding like popping beans turned into a whooshing sound passing overhead, and Chen Youdi was almost crouching as he walked forward.

No one paid him any attention. Chen Youdi saw a soldier covered in blood, slumped behind the earthen wall.

They rushed over and dragged him back, not knowing if he was still alive. They called out twice but couldn't wake him. There were no facilities to treat the wounded, so they could only lay him flat and tear a piece of cloth to wrap his head.

While busy, Chen Youdi saw the soldier's gun.

It's the Type 38!

He's practiced how to pull a ligature!

He picked up the gun as if possessed and set it up against the earthen wall.

Pull the bolt handle, lift it up, rotate it clockwise, pull the bolt back all the way, and with a click, the bullet is pushed into the chamber. Press down the bolt and rotate it to lock it. Chen Youdi took a deep breath and poked his head out.

Whoosh whoosh!

He immediately pulled his head back, feeling as if the bullet had just grazed his hair!

Gasping for breath, Chen Youdi's eyes widened. Then, he felt a surge of power rising within him. The fear of being grazed by a bullet had completely transformed into excitement!

At this moment, the second company commander noticed the skinny boy and quickly shouted, "Chen Youdi! Get to the back!"

Chen Youdi shouted, "I was raised by my grandmother. During the last sweep, my grandmother was killed by the Japanese. I want to kill the Japanese!"

"I want to kill the Japanese devils!"

Then, Chen Youdi turned around, peeked out, and took aim!

"boom!"

A Japanese soldier in military uniform with the rank of second lieutenant fell to the ground!

The second company commander looked at it and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

This lieutenant must have been a squad leader. After he died, the Japanese soldiers next to him clearly lost their composure. They were originally lying low, but now they couldn't help but want to rush forward, and as a result, several more of them were taken down!

The second company commander shouted, "That's right! Fire like that! So what if they have machine guns!"

Before he could finish speaking, another volley of bullets came flying, and he quickly ducked his head.

"Are we going to send more troops? If this keeps up, this earthen fortress will be destroyed!"

Traffic ditch on the east side.

The company commander, holding onto a grenade launcher, remained motionless, his eyes fixed on the Japanese flank.

The more critical the moment, the less we should panic. If they open fire before the Japanese soldiers even get up there, the Japanese soldiers behind them will rush towards us.

There are no barriers in front of the trench; they can just charge up and we'll all die here!
