Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

"Although we have 500,000 troops in the entire Zhili region, our manpower will be depleted if we deploy them."

Feng Lingdu pointed in the direction of Xiahuayuan and continued, "Look here, General Huang has deployed nine regiments here to guard against the Japs from the Chahar area coming to support us."

"There are still five regiments stationed outside the capital. The remaining seven regiments of the Fifth Reserve Division will follow General Huang and cross the capital directly to support General Qiu in the Northeast."

"And news has also come from the Luyu Corps that Shen Yi's advance is very fast. The 28th Regiment is worthy of being the trump card of the th Division. One regiment plus two independent detachments wiped out more than Japanese and puppet troops in one go, and immediately depleted the Japanese forces on the eastern front."

"He had the Fourth Division, which was constantly increasing its troops. It was very strong. When he was preparing to besiege Tianjin, he put all the troops of the entire Corps on the battlefield. He also transferred eight independent regiments from the Fourth Division to the north, and immediately handed over the entire task of maintaining stability in the rear to us."

"Our Fifth Division is a newly-built unit, and the regiments under it have been fighting repeatedly, so they are more or less understaffed. Now that the maintenance of stability in the entire Zhili region has fallen into our hands, we no longer have any troops to attack the capital."

After listening to this, Ling Shuiyao looked at Feng Lingdu with some heartache. No wonder Feng Lingdu was so worried as he had to shoulder such a heavy burden all of a sudden.

"Aren't Zhang Zonglin's five regiments stationed outside the capital? Why doesn't he take the initiative to attack?"

Ling Shuiyao looked at the layout on the map and asked about her doubts.

Feng Lingdu picked up a cigarette and lit it. Ling Shuiyao subconsciously wanted to strangle him, but when she thought that this was in the game, she did not move.

"Zhang Zonglin and others may not know, but you and I should know too. We were both commanders of the same period in "Battlefield of the Century". Why was I the division commander while he was still a regiment commander?"

Ling Shuiyao asked tentatively: "Could it be that Zhang Zonglin is still as arrogant as before?"

Feng Lingdu nodded, that was indeed the case.

In the previous game, Zhang Zonglin was brave and had a group of fans. This time, he led those regiments to fight several tough battles, and the troops suffered heavy losses.

Today, the field hospitals in Zhili area are almost all prepared for Zhang Zonglin’s five regiments, and the hospitals are filled with wounded soldiers from those five regiments.

"Humph, Zhang Zonglin hasn't changed at all. In the previous battle, he used a temporary regiment to block one division and two puppet army divisions of the Japanese."

"The remaining four regiments made a large detour and gave the Japanese a huge advantage. Although the battle was fought beautifully, more than ten thousand soldiers from the five regiments were unable to continue fighting due to injuries."

"Even if we add Wang Chenglong's temporary 8th regiment to his roster, the five regiments still don't fill the staffing."

"The Japanese still have two Type A divisions in the capital, plus the military police, guards, and railway detachments, a total of more than 80,000 people. Of course, he dare not fight."

"Now he asked me to support him, but I don't have the resources to send people to Beiping City. I think we should transfer Ye Lisan's officer division here."

Ling Shuiyao nodded and said, "The players of the Officer Division are indeed elite. Not only are they skilled in combat, but their mortars are also accurate, making them very suitable for street fighting in the city."

Feng Lingdu was indeed somewhat discouraged and said: "The current officer division has been disbanded and reorganized. Ye Lisan can't pull out a team for the time being."

Some things are calculated, but when they are actually needed, they can’t wait.

The Officers' Division fought hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese in Yanmen for several days. Now the players who participated in the battle have calmed down and started to relax.

After all, there is no problem in the game. Many players' subconscious actions after logging off can easily hurt people around them.

To this end, Principal Hu gave these players a long vacation, gathered them together, and found a special psychologist to counsel them.

"Now that we can't even rely on military divisions, where can we find a troop to join the battle in the capital?"

Ling Shuiyao also had a headache, because the previous order issued by the column headquarters was that after clearing the area, each unit would expand its army on the spot.

However, it seemed that the 5th Reserve Division had an agreement with the Lu-Yu Corps that after liberating a city, they would move on to the next city without expanding the army and leave the entire rear to the 5th Division.

Now the five divisions have been disbanded and dispersed to various cities to maintain stability and expand locally.

Now there is only an independent cavalry battalion and a guard battalion in Hengshui City. It would be a drop in the bucket if they were transferred to the battlefield in the capital.

"Yes, it would be enough if I were given 30,000 people, but where can I find them?"

Feng Lingdu also had a bitter look on his face. Now everything was ready except for the troops.

Ling Shuiyao thought about it and suggested: "Should we pull out some new recruits, integrate them with the guard battalion, and push them up?"

Hearing this suggestion, Feng Lingdu quickly shook his head and said:

"No, if we use new recruits, firstly, they won't be able to maintain their combat effectiveness, and secondly, they haven't completed systematic training. Using them like this is completely disregarding their lives!"

Ling Shuiyao nodded thoughtfully. She had forgotten that people who had never experienced combat would not be able to relieve stress at all on the battlefield and would easily collapse.

"Then how about we apply for another batch of support from the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region? Although the Eighth Route Army Headquarters Arsenal can now produce Type 40 semi-automatic rifles, the output should not be enough to supply the entire Eighth Route Army."

"Why don't we propose to exchange weapons for people, and draw a few core regiments with a large number of people from the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region to replace our soldiers."

Hearing this suggestion, Feng Lingdu nodded with some satisfaction. This should be the safest solution now.

"Then I'll give it a try. I'll send a telegram to the commander and ask for his instructions."

"Kuuuuu" "Kuuuuu"

Just as the two were discussing, there was a knock on the door of the command center.

The messenger came in, saluted and said, "Boss Feng, Director Ling, a guest has arrived."

Hearing that there was a guest, Feng Lingdu was a little surprised. Who would come at this time?

"Hahahaha, Brother Feng, you miss me so much. You've been promoted too fast. When we met at Xiaowangzhuang, you were just an ordinary soldier, but now you've become a division commander!"

A loud voice came from a distance, causing the two to turn their heads and look.

Li Yunlong strode into the conference room and walked towards Fenglingdu in a familiar manner.

Feng Lingdu was overjoyed when he saw the people coming. If Li Yunlong's regiment could be transferred over, he would have enough mobile forces in his hands.

"Captain Li, you've come just in time, is your regiment coming along?

"Hehe, this time I brought a small number of people, just over 30,000. Not as many as your large-scale troop battles, but it's enough to fight the Japanese."

"Great, Captain Li is here just in time!"
