Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Xiyang City

In the column headquarters, Xiao Wen put down the telegram in his hand and called over Xiao Qing, who was now in charge of the teaching team.

In the telegram, Xiao Zongmin instructed all the troops directly under the column headquarters to prepare for battle. Now he had to determine which troops on the teaching team could go into battle.

Soon, Xiao Qing rushed over and asked Xiao Wen, "Brother Wen, why did you come to me specially for something? Can't you just call me if you have something to say?"

Xiao Wen chuckled and handed the telegram in his hand to him.

Xiao Qing took the telegram with some doubts, and heard what Xiao Wen said.

"The commander-in-chief wants to send our column's direct troops to attack. I'm here to ask you, the captain of the training team, about the situation of our direct troops."

Xiao Qing looked at the transfer order for the column's direct troops on the telegram and said with some embarrassment: "The armored forces need too many people. After all, few soldiers nowadays are literate, and we can't provide so many qualified tank soldiers."

"Then how many troops can you report? This time we not only have to occupy Rehe but also Chahar. We will only leave a part of the garrison troops in the southeast of Shanxi, and all functional units must move forward with the front line." Xiao Wen recounted Xiao Zongmin's previous arrangements.

Xiao Qing was not a person who only knew how to train troops. From the information given by Xiao Wen and several telegrams, he immediately deduced Xiao Zongmin's plan.

"The commander-in-chief's plan is to send an armored division to Rehe to support the Chen Hu Bai Corps attacking the Northeast. However, our column only has four armored divisions, which are not as large as Chen's Corps, and can't play a big role at all."

"It would be better to send a rocket artillery division as an emergency force, transfer the armored division that was promised to them to Rehe, and then transfer a few highly mobile mechanized infantry regiments."

"Besides, we will have to engage in an air battle with the Japanese in the Northeast. It is better to send a flying division to Rehe than to mobilize a large army."

Xiao Wen listened to Xiao Qing with a frown. After writing and drawing on the map, he found that if Xiao Qing's arrangement was followed, the column would have several more divisions of mobile forces.

"You mean to concentrate our superior forces and solve the Mongolian problem once and for all?"

Xiao Qing nodded. As the captain of the teaching team, they had great authority, and many outstanding soldiers were detained by the column's direct troops.

Why is the Guard Division called the Imperial Guard by the Fifth Division? Isn’t it because the Guard Division’s troops are made up of the best recruits with sophisticated combat skills?

"General, having a knife in hand and not using it are two different things. Although we want to take back Northeast China as soon as possible, we should not forget the Mongolian issue. Comrade Joseph is no different from the Tsar. They both have a persistent pursuit of land."

Xiao Wen nodded, turned his head and stared at the huge world map without saying a word.

……

On Lake Taihu, Li Qingping was boating with several local traitors.

Li Qingping looked at the traitors who were in high spirits to write poetry, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. If the troops had not been fully armed, he would have dealt with these spineless literati long ago.

One of the traitors had a few drinks and for some reason seemed to be intoxicated. He pointed at the unsociable Li Qingping and started to curse: "Don't think you are great just because you have a few filthy riches, kid. If it was a few years ago when the locust army hadn't come, you still wanted to buy people from me? I'd be lucky to spare your life."

Several other traitors hurried forward to grab the drunk traitor, but looking down, Li Qingping was obviously surrounded by them.

Looking at the false expressions on the faces of these traitors, Li Qingping knew that this banquet was not a good one and the purpose was still to get his money.

Li Qingping knew what kind of people they were, so he took out a gun from his pocket and threw it on the table. He lit a cigarette and looked at these traitors with a smile.

Those traitors were instantly stunned. Although they all had guns, given their status, they disdained to carry guns.

The traitor who had pointed at Li Qingping's nose and cursed him suddenly said tremblingly: "Don't... don't think that you are the only one with a gun. Everyone here has a few guns. You... you better not do anything rash!"

Li Qingping sneered and said sarcastically, "If I hadn't asked you bastards to provide me with manpower, I would have shot you bastards to death a long time ago."

After hearing Li Qingping's frank words, the traitors immediately wanted to shout for resistance, but Li Qingping did not give them the opportunity and directly shot them to death.

The players outside heard the gunshots and came in to see the traitor lying in a pool of blood. They immediately asked Li Qingping, "Brother Qing, what happened?"

Li Qingping pointed at the corpses on the ground and said with some disdain: "These bastards wanted to force me to give them more gold coins, so I just took care of them all."

The player heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled, "These bastards didn't even know whose ship it was and dared to cause trouble on our ship. Brother Qing, I'm going to deal with the guards they brought with me right now."

Li Qingping nodded, and the players who were controlling the cruise ship turned around in the middle of the lake and headed towards the shore.

As the cruise ship approached the shore, the guards and stewards waiting on the shore hurriedly came up to ask the players why gunshots were heard on the boat, but all they were greeted with were the empty muzzles of the players' guns.

When Li Qingping got off the boat, there was only corpses covered in blood. Li Qingping wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief and snorted in disdain.

"These bastards even dug up the official ingots from the Yongle era from the ground. There's not much money to be made from them. Let's pack up and take the troops north, cooperating with the landlords as we go."

"Yes."

Shimen City, Fifth Division Headquarters

Feng Lingdu put down the telegram in his hand and arranged to Ling Shuiyao beside him: "Let the three regiments of the 14th Brigade plus the five independent regiments move north to threaten the city of Beiping."

"Let the three regiments of the 15th Brigade and the three independent regiments wipe out the remaining Japanese troops in northern Hebei, so that they can't take care of each other, and slowly consume them. Ye Lisan's officer division will also come to support us after the battle."

Ling Shuiyao nodded in understanding and chuckled, "They have fought the big battles, and now we have to deal with the remaining minor details."

Feng Lingdu nodded and said with some emotion: "In just one month, the Fourth Division wiped out hundreds of thousands of Japanese in eastern Shandong, and even made the new recruits see blood. It was a profit."

"As long as the young and strong men in our country can replenish their bodies and learn a little about the use of weapons, they can become excellent fighters."

"The new recruits of the Japanese invaders that the Fourth Division faced gave our fellow countrymen in eastern Shandong a sigh of relief. Now it is the turn of our Fifth Division to move and give the people of Yanzhao a sigh of relief."
