Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Xiyang County International Youth Column Headquarters

Xiao Zongmin and Xiao Tiance were staring at each other, and they were both looking worriedly at the pile of telegrams on the table.

Since the order to suppress bandits was issued from the Northeast, other troops under the Chen Hu Bai Corps followed suit and began to suppress bandits one after another.

The telegrams on the table were about the battles that each regiment had encountered during this period. Although each regiment had defeated many bandits along the way, they had never been able to completely clear out the local area.

"Tian Ce, I order you as the commander of the column to take these telegrams back and deal with them!"

When Xiao Tiance heard this, he immediately quit and complained, "Commander-in-chief, you have dozens of regiments fighting the enemy right now. Look at this battle report, it's only accumulated over two or three hours. If I really finish processing all of it, I won't have time to sleep!"

"You don't have time to sleep, but do I have time to sleep?" Xiao Zongmin smiled faintly, stood up and glanced at Xiao Tiance.

Xiao Tiance touched his nose and said awkwardly: "I understand, Commander-in-Chief."

"Guangru has already set off with the Guard Division. You staff officers should get moving now. Don't put all the pressure on me."

After saying that, he stood up and left the headquarters without paying any attention to Xiao Tiance who was sitting there busy processing telegrams.

Walking outside the headquarters and looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, my heart gradually calmed down.

The players have been progressing too quickly during this period, disrupting all the deployments he had made in northern Shaanxi.

However, despite the chaos, the players seemed to be seeking stability and were proceeding steadily along the way, so Xiao Zongmin did not intervene too much.

Just as Xiao Zongmin was looking at the moon and his thoughts drifting away, Xiao Lin hurried over.

"Commander-in-chief, Lin'an has received a telegram that Gu Mosan's two armies are heading towards Lin'an City in a menacing manner."

"There is also the Jinsui Army of Fu Yisheng stationed in Saibei. Two cavalry divisions are moving towards the northeast."

"Taiyuan City reported that Hu Shoushan's troops from Sanqin have been making small moves recently, and two armies have entered Sanqin."

After hearing the last piece of news, Xiao Zongmin was a little stunned and asked, "Didn't Commander Yan stop it?"

"According to the information we received, Commander Yan has already arrived in Shancheng."

......

Shancheng, the official residence of Chief Yan

At this time in the living room, Chief Yan was talking with Mr. Chang.

Mr. Chang looked at Officer Yan with some emotion and said, "Brother Baichuan, you are actually very knowledgeable. Why do people always say you are unsophisticated?"

Commander Yan laughed and said, "It was the Shanxi dialect that ruined me. If I could speak the Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialect, I would be much better than Zhou Shuren."

"Haha." The two smiled at each other.

"Commissioner, then I have to help you with your book bag."

Mr. Chang glanced at Officer Yan and said, "Speak in authentic Shanxi dialect."

"Wisdom lies not in knowing others, but in knowing oneself. Benevolence lies not in loving others, but in loving oneself..."

Commander Yan's words stunned Mr. Chang. He did not expect that the fallen King of Sanjin would say such a thing.

Knowing that he couldn't look at this old man with the same idea as before, Mr. Chang asked tentatively: "Brother Baichuan, what do you think of me transferring Shoushan to Sanjin?"

"War is an extension of politics. I am already beyond redemption. I might as well see how the disciples of the chairman can save the situation!"

Northeast, the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters

The atmosphere in the command room was very depressing.

Mijiro Umezu and Neiji Okamura stood on each side, looking at the suicide telegram on the table.

"The enemy troops suddenly attacked our troops on the march, broke through our flank marching formation with heavy artillery fire, and launched an attack on our division."

"Because our troops were on the march and had not made adequate preparations to deal with the situation, they were split into three parts by the enemy the day before yesterday. After we suffered a defeat on one side, the enemy immediately launched an attack from our vanguard and rear guard."

"Under the enemy's fierce attack, our field artillery regiment and logistics regiment were destroyed one after another..."

"The enemy then assembled a large number of artillery and tanks. Under the cover of fierce artillery fire, the enemy's tank troops tore apart our rear guard troops, and our troops lost contact with the brigades and regiments."

"Today, the enemy has surrounded our division headquarters. I will lead the remaining troops to charge the enemy..."

"Heavenly locusts kill the people on board!"

After Meizu Mijiro finished reading the telegram, he looked up at Okamura Neiji and asked, "Okamura-kun, is this the reason why you left North China in a hurry?"

From this farewell telegram, Umezu Michiro felt the despair of the 128th Division.

Even after the attack on the International Youth Column, the phrase "the troops were torn apart" was used, which shows how fierce the offensive was.

You have to know that although the 128th Division was newly established, many of its members are retired veterans and their combat skills are absolutely impeccable.

But in just three days, a Type B division of more than 20,000 people was completely wiped out, which surprised Umezu Mijiro.

Ningji Okamura had not yet recovered from the shock in the telegram. Previously in the Shanxi region, due to the logistical advantage, the International Youth Column had fought battles that started with artillery fire.

This time the Japanese launched an infiltration and encirclement, with two divisions protecting the front and back. The 128th Division in the middle was annihilated within three days, which shows how desperate they were.

"Mr. Meijin, you should know that I was supposed to report back to the headquarters, but suddenly I was transferred to North China. However, the situation in North China was already so bad when I arrived."

Listening to Okamura Neiji's obvious explanation of shifting the blame, Umezu Mijiro also knew that Okamura Neiji was not to blame.

However, it is obvious that someone needs to take the blame for the destruction of several divisions this time. Although Umezu Mijiro already has someone in mind to take the blame, he will not make excuses for Okamura Neiji.

When Ningji Okamura saw that Umezu Mijiro looked calm and composed, he knew that he was looking for someone to take the blame.

"Umezu-kun should also know that the enemy has such fierce artillery fire, Tada Shun cannot shirk responsibility!"

"Okamura-kun, we can't put all the blame on a lieutenant general who has already died!"

"What do you mean, Umezu-kun?"

"It's all the Navy's fault. They failed to block the ports of Dragon Country, causing a large amount of weapons to pour in from the outside world. The Navy should bear the main responsibility for the Empire's loss of North China!"

Principal Hu's Headquarters

Principal Hu was very good at leading a detachment of officers to attack when he was a kid, and he had a great time satisfying his desire to kill with a sword. Now he is drinking tea in the command center.

Huang Zherang strode into the command center and said, "Principal, the time has come to annihilate the 129th Division!"
