Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

"Don't even mention that the Japs have two brigades on the other side. Even if the Japs' Heavenly Locust Guard Division comes, I can still twist off their Heavenly Locust's dog head in the midst of thousands of troops!"

Listening to Wu Chenghu's bragging, Jiang Wang covered his ears helplessly.

Although the headquarters had previously ordered them that in wartime, all command orders would be decided by the military chief.

But in their regiment, it was obvious that Jiang Wang, the political commissar who came from the New Fourth Army guerrillas, had more combat experience.

But there is one thing, that is, Jiang Wang is not familiar with the firepower configuration of each regiment under the Security Police Corps, otherwise Li Qingping would have arranged a regiment commander for him.

"Lao Wu, you are the commander's favorite. No matter how the battle goes, you will never leave the main combat unit."

"But I, Jiang Wang, am different. You said I was a good guerrilla leader, but the higher-ups arranged for me to join your team and let me be your political commissar."

"This is my first battle since I joined our regiment. If I don't do well, what if my superiors think I'm not suitable for the frontline troops and transfer me, Jiang Wang, to be a civilian cadre?"

Seeing that Jiang Wang was a little anxious, Wu Chenghu was sure that he did not understand the intention of his superior, so he quickly grabbed Jiang Wang's arm and pressed him into his seat.

"Old Jiang, don't worry! When you were in the New Fourth Army, you were also a great general. Our General Li will not waste a talent like you."

"Look, there are two Japanese brigades in front of us, with a total of nearly 20,000 people. The place where our regiment's artillery bombarded before was the junction of the two enemy brigades."

"In the first wave of firepower, we did not achieve the desired results. Instead, we exposed our own firepower configuration and were caught off guard by the Japanese counterattack."

"But now our artillery is in place and can suppress the Japanese counterattack at any time. What you should do most now is to familiarize yourself with the firepower configuration of our regiment and prepare for future battles."

After saying that, without paying any attention to Jiang Wang who was standing there in a daze, Wu Chenghu picked up the phone on the table and called the front line.

"Frontline? I'm Wu Chenghu. Let your company commander answer the phone!"

"Captain, this is the front line. I am Qin You, the commander of the first company of the first battalion. Do you have any plans?"

"Lao Qin, it turns out you are on the front line!"

Wu Chenghu was very happy to hear that the company commander at the front line was someone he knew.

"Old Qin, tell me honestly, what is the situation on the front line now?"

"The Japanese launched more than a dozen artillery attacks on our positions, but we had dug anti-artillery holes before the battle, so the losses were not great. Only more than 20 people were injured by shrapnel and left the battlefield."

Hearing this number, Wu Chenghu was obviously relieved.

The reputation of his ace regiment was supported by the battalion under his command.

Especially the first company of the first battalion where Qin You is, they are the elite of the entire regiment. Any ordinary soldier can be a squad leader if placed in other companies.

These soldiers are his dearest ones, and losing one of them will make him sad for a long time.

Now that he had obtained accurate intelligence about the frontline positions, Wu Chenghu seemed somewhat happy, and even his voice became a little lighter.

"The Japanese artillery position was taken out by our artillery five minutes ago. I think the Japanese will attack you now."

"Your company is now on the front line. You are in charge of all matters. I will not interfere. But there is one thing: you must lead your regiment to fight like the First Squadron!"

Hearing Wu Chenghu's tone becoming a little stern at the end, Qin You knew the seriousness of the problem and quickly assured Wu Chenghu: "The first company will definitely complete the mission and eliminate the attacking enemy!"

"Haha, good! My headquarters will move forward another 300 meters. I will be behind the front line, waiting for your good news."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Chenghu turned to look at Jiang Wang, spread his hands towards him, and signaled him not to be too nervous.

"Old Jiang, look, our company commander is so confident, so don't worry too much."

Seeing Wu Chenghu's obviously relaxed demeanor, Jiang Wang rarely showed a look of worry on his face.

"Our troop strength ratio is 1 to 2. If there is a mistake in a small place, it will affect the entire battle situation!"

Wu Chenghu analyzed it with some ease.

"We have a company of a thousand people, all equipped with semi-automatic rifles and assault rifles. Heavy machine guns and mortars are assigned to the squads. It can be said that one company can even take on two Japanese regiments."

"The location they are in now is not suitable for deploying a large force. At most, they can only face a squadron-level enemy."

"Lao Jiang, just listen to me. By dawn, the Japanese will retreat into the city due to heavy casualties!"

The battle situation was exactly as Wu Chenghu had analyzed. After the artillery battle between the two sides ended, the Japanese skirmish line appeared in front of the first company's position.

Qin You, who was on the front line, brushed off the dirt on his head and turned to look at the first company instructor Zheng Haiyuan.

"Old Zheng, which wave is this?"

Zheng Haiyuan stared at the scattered enemy troops and said without turning his head, "It's the fifth wave."

Watching the Japanese soldiers disappear from sight, Qin You whispered, "Old Zheng, go down and check the casualties of our platoons. I'll stay here and keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Haiyuan suddenly looked solemn, and said to Qin You in a deep voice: "Old Qin, there is no need to check now. The Japanese skirmishers are coming up again."

Qin You picked up the telescope and looked through it. He was a little shocked and said, "Damn it! The Japs are looking down on me, Qin. They are sending double the number of troops to attack us. Aren't they afraid that my machine gun platoon will shoot them down?"

"Lao Qin, the enemy in front of us might be the elite of the devil. I didn't tell you that the fifth wave of the devil's attack came very quickly just now. During the first four waves of attacks, our machine gunners suffered heavy losses."

Hearing this, Qin You said seriously: "I know, and most of them were injured and had to retreat from the battlefield."

"I heard it during the fifth wave of the attack. Few of the machine gun positions on the front line opened fire. Instead, their firepower was suppressed by the enemy's grenade launchers."

Seeing Qin You's expression, Zheng Haiyuan was about to speak to comfort him, but was interrupted by Qin You's words.

"No one survives a war, Lao Zheng. Our mission now is to annihilate all enemies that appear in our sight, rather than counting the losses here."

At this time, the vanguard of the Japanese army had already rushed into the front 300 meters of the position. Qin You made a prompt decision and shouted loudly "Fight!", and gunshots rang out one after another from the positions of the entire company.

The Japanese elite were not to be trifled with either. They lay beside the Japanese corpses and, taking advantage of the cover of darkness and the corpses, fired cold shots at the positions.

Seeing that the Japanese were slow to advance and instead adopted cold-shooting tactics, a trace of bloodthirstiness flashed across Qin You's face.

"Hello, artillery battalion? This is the first company. We need fire support now. We need fire support!"
