Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Ding Beice saluted excitedly, turned around and left the command center.

Cuijiuzhehua looked at his back and shook her head helplessly.

As soon as the battle started, his three regiments began to surround the Japanese 129th Division in front.

But unexpectedly, during the battle, the Japanese reinforcements arrived.

Now he only has a guard battalion and the 201st Regiment. It would take too long to transfer more troops, so he has to let the 201st Regiment go.

But the good news is that Li Huo's artillery is always following behind them and can provide them with fire support at any time.

Otherwise, he would rather let the remnants of the 129th Division leave than let one of his regiments be crippled.

In fact, the 201st Regiment was also his elite troops, but the elite veterans in this regiment had a blood feud with the Japanese.

After seeing the Japanese, they often couldn't control themselves, and often a mobile warfare turned into a hand-to-hand fight.

When the general offensive began, the 201st Regiment was behind him, but as the fighting went on, the 201st Regiment became the vanguard.

Previously, when their guard battalion was encircling and suppressing the remaining Japanese troops, they fell behind the 201st Regiment. When they caught up, they found that the Second Battalion of the 201st Regiment had already started hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese.

After he led the guard battalion to deal with the Japanese regiment, everyone in the Second Battalion of the 201st Regiment was injured, so he really didn't dare to let the 201st Regiment go on.

Now that they have been left on the bench, they should know how to fight the battle.

...

When Ding Beice returned to the 201st Regiment’s headquarters, he saw a gloomy and desolate scene.

In the open space, the chief officers of the regiment gathered together, not saying a word, sitting there silently smoking.

The soldiers were not in good condition either. They gathered together to clean their guns. The bayonets gleamed coldly under the sunlight.

Ding Beice knew that everyone was holding back their anger and might explode at any time, and now the urging for wine and flower picking gave him a chance to vent his anger.

Ding Beice clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the entire group.

"Comrades, I just went to a meeting at the brigade headquarters. The brigade commander was very dissatisfied with the performance of our regiment. Do you know why?"

"Captain, it's because of the hand-to-hand combat with the devils, right? But we don't understand. They're both killing devils, so isn't there any difference between killing with a knife and killing with a gun?"

"Yes! Yes! They are all about killing the devils, it doesn't matter what you use!"

"Why are you withdrawing our regiment? We fought so well!"

"That's right, when they arranged our regiment to lead the main attack, they pulled us back. Now they made us the reserve force, and they pulled us back again. It seems our regiment has become a son of a bitch!"

A soldier from the second battalion asked, and many soldiers were also very excited.

Knowing that they had finally had the chance to kill the Japanese, but were left out in the cold because of this incident, they felt very uncomfortable.

Ding Beice pressed down with both hands to stop the heated discussion among the crowd.

"Comrades, I know you are angry, but am I not angry when our regiment was withdrawn?"

"You know, I've been with the army for so long, and I've never heard of anyone being withdrawn for killing the devils!"

"When I went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, the brigade commander said that the soldiers in our regiment were all great."

"Since we are all good people, why did you take us down?"

"Yes! Captain, this doesn't make sense at all."

"We need to go into battle and kill the enemy, not sit here and clean our guns!"

Seeing the soldiers below in chaos, Ding Bei slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Silence! Where is this? Do you still have the appearance of a soldier?"

The soldiers then realized that they were in the rear of the battlefield, not in the training ground.

During training, they can still joke with the chief officers of the army, but when they are on the battlefield, they must follow orders in all actions.

Not to mention that Cuijiuzhehua withdrew them, even if Cuijiuzhehua split them up and added them to other groups, they should have done the same.

Ding Beice looked at the soldiers who were gradually calming down and spoke directly to the point.

"I'm telling you clearly, I went to the meeting at the brigade headquarters to fight for combat missions for our regiment!"

"If you guys are still like this, I might as well ask the brigade commander to take the brigade guard battalion up there!"

Hearing this, the soldiers were about to jump up excitedly, but when they remembered what Ding Beice had said before, they quickly calmed down.

Ding Beice looked at the soldiers who lined up on their own and felt secretly satisfied. Except when they were filled with hatred, these soldiers were top-notch in all aspects.

"The brigade commander said that if we continue to rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese without hesitation, we might as well withdraw our troops!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldiers who had originally calmed down became excited again.

Looking at their expressions, Ding Beice spoke immediately.

"Do you know why? It's because the Second Battalion suffered heavy casualties, and hundreds of our brothers were left disabled!"

"The brigade commander said that if we continue to fight like this, our regiment will be gone before Northeast China is liberated."

"So, in this main attack, I don't want to see a whole battalion or company of troops rushing up in an organized manner to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese!"

"Issuing combat missions now! First Battalion Commander!"

"Yes!" A battalion commander stood at attention.

"Take your first battalion and, after the artillery attack is over, immediately launch an attack on Blind Man's Ridge in front of you and make sure to annihilate the enemy in front of us."

"Yes! We will ensure that the mission is accomplished!" A battalion commander returned to the queue with an excited look on his face.

"Second Battalion Commander."

"Yes!" The injured second battalion commander stepped out.

Looking at the Second Battalion behind him, where everyone was injured, Ding Beice pondered for a moment before starting to deploy.

"Your Second Battalion is now too incomplete. I will add the regiment guard company and the officers' company to your Second Battalion. Your Second Battalion will attack from the left side of Blind Man's Ridge."

"Third Battalion Commander, your battalion will attack from the right side. Make sure you quickly penetrate the ridge and annihilate all the devils on the ridge!"

"Yes, I will complete the task!" x2.

Ding Beice nodded, turned to look at the soldiers, and asked, "Comrades, do you have the confidence to win this battle?"

"Forward forward forward!"

"Forward forward forward!"

"Forward forward forward!"

……

After the request for wine and flowers was issued, Li Huo quickly assigned three artillery battalions to arrive at the designated locations.

After observing the location of Lingzi, the staff officer in charge began to give orders.

"After the 6th and th Heavy Artillery Battalions are deployed, each gun must fire base shells."

"After the heavy artillery battalion opens fire, the rocket artillery battalion will immediately open fire to suppress the Japanese on the ridge. After all, we don't know if there are any Japanese artillery on the ridge."

"This is a tough job. The headquarters is not satisfied with our attack speed. We must give the headquarters a satisfactory answer with a victory."

"This time, my goal is to flatten Blind Man's Ridge!"
