Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

"Let the Locust Alliance stabilize our rear passage!"

Taniguchi Motojiro took a deep breath and gave instructions to the messenger.

After all the Japanese soldiers in the command center left, Taniguchi Motojiro looked at the map with a gloomy face.

It was also his instruction when Naozo Naoshige launched an attack on the Independent Regiment of the 5th Division, but he never expected that attacking a regiment in the enemy's salient point would cause such a strong chain reaction.

Doesn't the enemy have limited troops in northern Hebei? Isn't the Longguo army busy fighting among itself?

How could it be possible that a troop got around to their rear and attacked them so quickly?

Now his headquarters, the 0th Division, only has one cavalry battalion and one engineering regiment left.

If we are trapped here now, we will gradually be surrounded and destroyed by the enemy.

Taniguchi Motojiro acted decisively and arranged for a messenger to call in the captain of the cavalry battalion.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander." Goto Koshiro walked in.

Taniguchi Motojiro waved his hand to him, pointed to the direction of Anping on the map, and ordered: "Goto-kun, the 108th Cavalry Battalion will attack in the direction of Anping immediately!"

Although Goto Koshiro was a little confused, he still said respectfully: "Yes, Your Excellency, the Division Commander!"

Looking at Goto Koshiro's back as he left, Taniguchi Motojiro touched his chin. Since he couldn't win, saving his life was the most important thing...

...

In the eyes of the devils, the puppet army's mixed brigade was the elite among the puppet troops, and they acted very quickly.

After receiving the order to set off, the puppet army's third mixed brigade completed its military reorganization in just two hours.

After they set out and left their base shortly after, they met the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade which had set out an hour earlier than them.

The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade had been completely wiped out once before at the hands of Huang Zherang, but the Kwantung Army and the Japanese headquarters recruited retired veterans from this unit.

Some Japanese officers were drawn from the reserve forces to complete the organization of this force.

This time, the 0th Independent Mixed Brigade followed the th Division to northern Hebei in order to fight a security war, fill the vacancy in the occupied area after the Japanese transferred their troops to Shanxi, and maintain stability in the Japanese-occupied area.

But no one expected that the International Youth Column would defeat the Japanese in Shanxi so quickly. Now if the Japanese want to extend their tentacles into Shanxi, they must have several springboards.

So he wanted to do the same as before and encircle the Three Jins from Xinzhou and Jingxing directions.

However, the reorganized division's hundreds of thousands of troops came out of Shanxi and fought against the Japanese, and immediately drove back the Japanese tentacles.

So, after receiving the telegram from the 108th Quartermaster Regiment, Tsuda Mitake acted decisively and built fortifications on the spot to block the th Independent Regiment from advancing westward.

When the Third Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army arrived here, they saw the already dug fortifications, foxholes, and communication trenches.

The Japanese soldiers stood in the fortifications, looking solemnly in the direction of the logistics regiment.

Not far away, Chen Hai looked at the fortifications built by Tsuda Mitake. After putting away the telescope, he turned to Qi Yu and said with a smile: "It seems that this group of devils don't know our intelligence."

Qi Yu nodded in agreement. They knew this when they fought in eastern Shandong. In plain warfare, unless the positions built were very steep, there was no way to hinder the tanks.

"Old Chen, it seems that these little devils underestimated us and thought that we didn't bring any heavy weapons."

"Then let's teach them a lesson. I'm going to cook a pot of steel soup on the position built by the devils. Order the mortar company and the heavy artillery company to calibrate all parameters and open fire immediately."

"clear."

After Chen Hai's order was issued, the mortar company and the heavy artillery company quickly entered the preset positions.

"Binding the elements."

"Prepare to load."

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The large-caliber shells of the two artillery companies exploded on the fortifications built by the Japanese, instantly blowing the Japanese from the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade into pieces.

Moreover, the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade was rebuilt after all, and there were too many new recruits in the unit. After the shells fell, they all ran around with their heads covered.

It suddenly disrupted his own defense line.

Tsuda Mitake frowned and put down his binoculars. He looked at the infantry battalion that had collapsed on the front line and cursed angrily: "What a shame for the soldiers."

"Send a message to the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Battalions to prepare to join the battle at any time. Order the 4th and 5th Infantry Battalions to seize the position immediately and block the enemy's attack."

"Order the field artillery battalion to immediately locate the enemy's artillery positions and launch a counterattack immediately."

"Yes."

Mitake Tsuda passed down orders one after another, and the Japanese soldiers rushed to the front line in large numbers.

Looking at the trenches filled with the broken limbs of the Japanese soldiers, many Japanese recruits could not bear it and stood there retching.

Seeing this, many Japanese sergeants hurriedly ordered the Third Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army behind them to come up and clear the trenches.

But Chen Hai would not give them much time. After the shelling ended, the tank battalion of the Independent Sixth Regiment directly pressed forward.

After all, the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade was reorganized to fight security warfare and was not equipped with anti-tank weapons at all. The new recruits were left watching the tank battalion coming towards them.

The Japanese recruits were stepping on the corpses of their comrades, with tanks coming towards them. It's hard to imagine how much psychological pressure they were under.

But Tsuda Mitake behind was no fool. He knew that if they continued like this, there would be no need to fight and the morale would collapse, so he quickly commanded the mortars to start counterattack.

"attack!"

"attack!"

The Japanese mortar shells landed in front of the tank battalion, but the explosion did not affect the tank troops.

After the smoke cleared, we heard the voices of "Board!" "Board!" coming from the Japanese position on the opposite side.

When the soldiers in the front saw, they found that the Japanese had launched a suicide charge under the cover of mortars.

Perhaps in the eyes of Tsuda Mitake, once the Japanese onboard charge is launched, the enemy will be frightened out of their wits by this scene.

But they were facing the 6th Independent Regiment, the elite among the elite, the ace among aces.

The Japanese soldiers holding explosive packs had just rushed out of their positions when they were hit by the assault rifles in the hands of the infantry following the tanks.

The firepower network formed by assault rifles and submachine guns formed an air wall at the Japanese front-line positions. Once any Japanese rushed out of the hiding trenches, they would be swept by the metal storm and turned into a sieve.

Many Japanese soldiers looked at other dead Japanese soldiers, and then looked at the tanks that were approaching step by step. The morale of these Japanese soldiers, which was already weak, collapsed.

"I want to go home. Chizuru is waiting for me at home."

Not only the lower-level soldiers, but even the Japanese officers on the front-line positions followed the defeated soldiers and fled backwards.

The soldiers looked at the enemy that was about to collapse, but did not relax their vigilance. They shot at the dead bodies of the Japanese soldiers on the ground with expressionless faces.
