Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

The officer company commander Xinghe, who happened to come to support, heard Jiang Wang's mumbling and said with a smile: "Then you have never seen the artillery of the mechanic, that's crazy."

Hearing the voice, Jiang Wang quickly turned around and saw a fair-skinned young man looking at him with a smile.

Seeing Jiang Wang's somewhat surprised expression, Xinghe realized that his words just now were a bit abrupt, so he quickly saluted Jiang Wang.

"Hello, are you Political Commissar Jiang? I am Jiang Xinghe, the commander of the officer company of the 513th Regiment of the th Detachment."

Hearing that it was the captain of the friendly army, Jiang Wang quickly returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome. Speaking of which, Captain Jiang, we are relatives!"

"Hahaha, it's really possible." Xinghe nodded with a smile.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Jiang Wang quickly asked, "Captain Jiang just said, mechanic. Could it be that our column still has a mechanic?"

Xinghe shook his head and said, "The south is densely covered with waterways, which is not suitable for mechanics to fight. When the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Column was first established, there was a dispute between the two corps' mechanic regiments. Finally, they were transferred to northern Jiangsu by an order from the headquarters."

"These two corps have never fought a battle in Jiangnan since they were established. It's really a pity."

After hearing Xinghe's words, Jiang Wang lost the desire to explore. After all, the mechanic was no longer around, so he couldn't see their demeanor.

"What a pity! If we had a mechanic, we wouldn't have been able to let the Japanese run rampant in Jiangnan!"

Hearing the regret in Jiang Wang's voice, Xinghe quickly said, "Although we are not a proper mechanized infantry division, each regiment still has a tank platoon. I believe that Political Commissar Jiang will be able to see our tanks on the Songhu battlefield soon."

"Really?" Jiang Wang was a little skeptical.

"Really!" Xinghe said heavily, injecting a shot of stabilizer into Jiang Wang's heart.

"Okay! Then let's observe the situation and see how to attack in the direction of the Japanese!" Jiang Wang was obviously happy, and quickly pulled Xinghe over and spoke.

Looking at his arm being pulled, Xinghe shook his head helplessly.

As an old player who has experienced many battles, he is very clear about the combat methods of the artillery under the International Youth Column.

That is, as long as the shells are still being transported to the artillery position, the artillerymen do not need to stop their work and can just keep firing.

Just as Xinghe had guessed, after the artillery's attack frequency slowed down for a while, it suddenly increased, catching the Japanese infantry off guard.

Watching through the telescope the shells falling like raindrops and razing all the buildings outside the county town to the ground, Jiang Wang felt a little emotional.

"If these shells fall into Taicang City, I'm afraid the entire city will be flattened."

Xinghe looked at the devastated scene where the bullet hit, and stretched lazily out of boredom.

Seeing that Jiang Wang was still paying attention there, he yawned and said, "Commissar Jiang, stop looking! From what I know about the artillery, they won't stop until they have used up all the existing shells."

Jiang Wang put down the telescope and asked excitedly: "Everywhere we can see now is already devastated, why don't you stop!"

"We have already figured out the location of the enemy's main force last night. They are stationed in strongholds and permanent fortifications outside the city. Now that they have been blown to pieces, why should we waste the shells?"

Hearing Jiang Wang's question, Xinghe was a little overwhelmed, and explained helplessly: "The reason is very simple. No one gave our artillery firepower. They were afraid that innocent people would be harmed by bombarding Taicang City."

"The artillery can only take one stupid approach now, which is to concentrate the shells to bombard the outskirts of Taicang City and collapse the city wall of Taicang!"

After hearing Xinghe's explanation, Jiang Wang calmed down a little. Looking at the shells falling continuously, he murmured, "Even if it's for attacking the city, we can't waste so many shells, right?"

"Then you have never seen the mechanics. Their artillery has shaved off several meters of the mountain several times, and the battlefield is full of loose soil."

Rear Command Post

Li Qingping was sorting out the intelligence in his hands with his staff.

When he saw the telegram from the B0204 Regiment, his eyes lit up and he called a meeting of staff officers.

"Look for a fighter, look for a fighter. Isn't the fighter going to fall into our hands? If you are timid, you will never find a fighter again."

Li Qingping's words were merciless, and the several staff officers who were scolded lowered their heads in shame.

"Mr. Li, we have only annihilated a puppet military division!" said a staff officer somewhat aggrievedly.

Li Qingping looked at the staff officer who had spoken to him, and said with some regret: "Do you have a pig's brain? Can he kill all the fake military advisors in one night?"

"As long as we get some information from these puppet army officers, it will be enough for us to analyze the current situation in the entire Wusong area."

"Right now, the First and Fifth Detachments are slowly approaching Shanghai, and the Second Detachment is in the rear, ready to resist the Japanese reinforcements from the Wujun area at any time."

"The situation in the entire Wusong area is on the verge of breaking out. Let alone annihilating a puppet army division, even if he annihilates a puppet army battalion, he will have made a great contribution!"

Hearing this, the staff officer lowered his head in shame and said to Li Qingping, "Boss Li, I am too narrow-minded."

Li Qingping just glanced at him, then looked at the staff officers and said, "If you are just here to pass on information, then that's great. You can pack up your equipment and prepare to go to the battlefield."

"Because these tasks can be done well by any messenger. Instead of using you, the staff officers with actual combat experience, to look at the battle reports in your hands and find no useful information!"

As he spoke, Li Qingping also became a little angry. He slammed the table and said to the staff officers, "I know that the failure of the plan you worked so hard on must have been a big blow to you."

"But today on the Wusong battlefield, the decisive battle between our column and the Japanese on the southern front of Longguo is of great importance."

"As long as we defeat the Japanese entrenched in Shanghai, the Fourth Division in the east of Shandong will be able to march straight down and open up our transportation lines."

"We will spread out a big net and move towards the southwest. All the secret societies, traitors, devils, and bandits along the way will be crushed in our big net."

"I hope you can take the battle reports in front of you seriously. Because as long as you can find some useful information from them, it will save our soldiers from losing many more people on the Wusong battlefield!"

Just when Li Qingping was consolidating opinions with a group of staff, a messenger suddenly came in to report.

"General Li, the Second Detachment has already started a fight with the Japanese invaders heading south from Wujun. According to the Second Detachment's report, the enemy they are facing now is as large as a division!"
