Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

"The 16th Army was a disgrace to the Central Army. It was defeated in less than two hours."

"General, we should dispatch troops to plug the gap of the 16th Army now," Sheng Guohui suggested.

Hu Shoushan frowned when he heard this. Although the 16th Army was established by him by annexing the Shaanxi Army, they had fought with him in the Battle of Shanghai, and their combat effectiveness was also among the best under his command.

Now that the 16th Army was defeated in a short period of time, it shows that the combat effectiveness of the opposing troops is not weak.

Hu Shoushan pondered for a moment and gave an order: "Let Fan Qidie quickly adjust the defense and withstand the attack of the Eighth Route Army. Let the 167th Division and the 76th Division go to support them."

After the signalman left, Sheng Guohui asked with a doubtful look on his face: "General, the fighting power of the 16th Army is not weak, how could it be defeated so quickly?"

Hearing this, Hu Shoushan snorted coldly and complained, "Fan Qidie is confused. The old man from Shancheng sent a personal letter asking his heavy machine gun unit to move forward a few hundred meters. As a result, all his machine guns were destroyed as soon as the enemy started fighting."

Sheng Guohui was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled bitterly and said, "This... Commander Fan is confused. A general is not subject to orders from his master when he is away from home. How can he do it just because of a letter from an old man?"

Hu Shoushan was also very dissatisfied with this matter, but he also knew that things had come to this point and he had done what he had done, so he just had to think about how to make amends.

With a sigh, Hu Shoushan said, "The reason they are counterattacking us is because they have won consecutive victories on the front battlefield. They are just trying to warn us not to hold them back."

"If it weren't for that idiot Fan Qidie who blindly followed the old man's orders, we wouldn't be so passive. The Military Control Commission once contacted me and said that there were planes flying back and forth between Shanxi and northern Shaanxi. I didn't pay much attention to it before. I'm afraid that's when they transferred the troops here."

"Commander, if the other side does not want to escalate the situation, they should stop the attack soon. Should the two divisions be mobilized?" Sheng Guohui asked tentatively.

Hu Shoushan waved his hand and said helplessly, "We have to give the old man an explanation. When they get there, gather the defeated soldiers of the 16th Army and report the casualties. This will also allow the old man to calm down for a while."

"Yes, I understand."

.......

On the Sixteenth Army’s position, players from the Officers Corps were capturing prisoners all over the mountains.

"Surf the gun and don't kill!"

"The Eighth Route Army treats prisoners well!"

A group of ferocious players shouted loudly for surrender, and many of them used wooden sticks to drive away the fleeing soldiers who wanted to escape.

The prisoners lined up and threw away their weapons, and then were taken away one by one by the transport team behind them. The players who had just finished a battle were all smiling, as they had gained a lot this time.

You know, if you really face 30,000 pigs, it won’t be so easy to take them down, but people know how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Especially since they were not fighting against the Japanese, but against the Eighth Route Army, they could go back as long as the two sides reached an agreement after the war. Many officers and soldiers of the 16th Army held this idea, and after being surrounded by the officers' corps, they laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Players don’t think so. In many people’s minds, the Central Army, which can compete with the Eighth Route Army, is quite powerful.

After the war, some leaders of the player groups looked at the long line of prisoners with doubts: Is this the most elite central army of the government? They can still compete with their predecessors with this, it must be fake!

You have to know that when the players charged after the artillery fire ended, although they fought separately, they still subconsciously relied on the terrain to attack the 16th Army.

Perhaps it was passed down in their bones. Although the players had not undergone much military training, they still naturally formed formations in battle, interspersed and detoured, and surrounded the Sixteenth Army.

The battle ended so hastily that all the preparations of some players were in vain. The feeling of disappointment was beyond words.

Dean He in the rear felt a little regretful. No one had expected that the Central Army would be defeated so easily by the Officers Corps, and they couldn't even form any effective resistance. This was inconsistent with their original intention of coming to observe the Guards Corps' combat methods.

Looking at the people with regretful expressions, Wang Hegao chuckled and explained, "Our officer corps is an honorary unit. The members of the corps have even higher military qualities than our guards."

"They can start as squad leaders or platoon leaders in any unit. I don't know if you saw their formation when they charged just now. The left and right flanks provided cover alternately, and the spearhead soldiers were responsible for the main attack. They can also rotate during the battle."

Dean He nodded. Although he did not see the battle of the Guard Regiment this time, the battle formation of the Officer Division was also eye-catching.

"Captain Wang is right. This battle formation can improve our soldiers' penetration ability. You must remember this. This is a vivid lesson."

Air Force Sichuan-Shaanxi Column Temporary Command in Guangdong-Guangxi Border Region

"Brother, brother, there is battle report from the front line!" Wang Zuojun ran in excitedly.

Wang Zizai was looking at the battle report in his hand with a frown. After putting it down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Sichuan-Shaanxi Column advanced into the Guangdong-Guangxi border area, the mountain division composed of the Sichuan Army suffered heavy casualties in the jungle warfare. After investigation, it was found that the enemy on the opposite side was actually Yamashita Tomoyuki.

They originally wanted to recruit some young men from Guangxi to supplement the army. The wolf soldiers' jungle warfare was famous all over the world, but many young and strong people were frightened by Li Bai's reputation and did not dare to join the Eighth Route Army.

The Air Force had no choice but to directly recruit 1,800 players from Guangxi, asking their fellow villagers to recruit each other, and successfully formed a force. Now it seems that the results are very good.

"Not bad, really not bad. Four thousand people are chasing a brigade of the Japanese. They are doing a good job. Let's give them some of our resources."

"That's right. After all, many of our cousins ​​have experienced actual combat during military training. We also offered such a high price, so of course we can recruit the elite." Wang Zuojun was obviously somewhat proud of these achievements.

Looking at Wang Zuojun's high spirits, Wang Zizai couldn't help but pour a bucket of cold water on him: "Don't let your guard down. You must know that our enemies are not just the devils. We must quickly reverse our reputation among the local people and expand our troops quickly."

As the eldest brother and the direct superior, Wang Zizai cannot be partial. Although Wang Zuojun has made contributions this time, if he becomes arrogant due to his achievements, Wang Zizai will remove him without hesitation.

Wang Zuojun understood everything and said seriously, "Brother, I know. I won't underestimate any enemy."

"Jungle warfare has always been our weak point, and our airport is not yet completed. If it weren't for the continuous rainy days, it wouldn't be so easy for us to fight."
