Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Xiyangcheng Military Camp

The sound of gunfire continued intermittently, and just as the assault team was advancing vigorously, the sound of rapid gunfire rang out.

Night Tiger: Artillery, C is being attacked by a large number of Japanese soldiers, and the heavy machine guns on the left wall have opened fire. Group C requests to extend the artillery fire.

In the distance, at the artillery position, Hong Tianlei used a telescope to look at the flames from the heavy machine guns on the city wall. With a worried look in his eyes, Cang Lei beside him said, "Xiao Chu, Xiao Gao and the others are fighting very hard."

Hong Tianlei said worriedly: "The shelling has stopped for 10 minutes, and the assault team has been entangled with them. At this time, we need to extend the artillery fire. I am afraid that it will easily affect the houses in the city."

The two men pondered for a while, and it was Cang Lei who made the final decision: "Attack the outer city wall. The Xiyang city wall is only three meters away from the outer city wall. After the outer city wall is destroyed, the effect of the Japanese heavy machine guns will be much smaller."

Just as the two were directing the artillery to adjust the firing range, news came from the player channel.

Night Tiger: All of our troops have suffered casualties. Please ask the artillery to extend their fire in the direction of our advance.

Looking at the news sent by Night Tiger, Hong Tianlei couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "These devils are so powerful. It's only been more than ten minutes and one of our combat teams has been wiped out."

Cang Lei's eyes were also filled with doubts. He knew the combat effectiveness of the assault team. To defeat a combat team in such a short time, the enemy must have deployed a large number of troops in that direction.

"Switch to high-explosive steel ball bullets."

In the Japanese Army Camp

Hattori Heizhang looked at Ye Lao Hu who was suppressed in the barracks and couldn't fight back, and seemed to doubt his life. What kind of opponent was this? A combat team of only six people fought back under the siege of two squadrons and took away more than 30 imperial warriors.

Hearing the gunfire coming from the other two places, Hattori Heizhang knew that he could not delay any longer and said, "Tamura-kun, use the Type 92 infantry gun to bombard the barracks. You can hear the gunfire from the left and the enemy in front of us is getting closer and closer. We are about to meet a large group of enemies."

Tamura Yukigoro said, "Captain, please go to the city. You only have two squads with you. These enemies are fierce and elite. If you stay here, I'm afraid you will be surrounded by the enemy's small force."

Hattori Heizhang waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, this is not being surrounded, this is a central explosion. The first infantry squadron will soon eliminate the enemy, and the second and third infantry squadrons have already joined the battle. As long as we form a stalemate with the enemy, our warriors will quickly surround them and eat them up."

A loud "boom" was heard from the gun, accompanied by the screams of the Japs.

Hattori Heizhang said: "Listen, our artillery has destroyed the enemy, and the first infantry squadron will soon rush to my side. The enemy's night attack is doomed to fail."

Tamura Yukigoro listened to the "boom", "boom", "boom" sounds coming from outside, and said anxiously: "Captain, this is not our Type 92 infantry gun, it is the enemy's howitzer. The enemy has started shelling again, Captain, you should go to the anti-gun cave to take shelter for the time being."

With the explosion of the high-explosive steel column bullet, many Japanese infantrymen were instantly shot into sieves. The Japanese infantrymen immediately fled in all directions.

Ye Lao Hu watched the Japanese escape from his area and was just about to take a breath when he saw from the barracks window that the Japanese were setting up mortars on the city wall. With two "bang" sounds, the barracks where Ye Lao Hu was was instantly blown into ruins.

Warehouse Manager: Group D reports the number of people.

Excalibur: There are 3 people left in Group D.

Warehouse Manager: There are only 8 people left in Group A and Group B. Now each group is free to shoot. Keep your distance and be careful of the enemy's suicide attacks.

Excalibur: Got it!

The warehouse manager looked at the Japanese soldiers rushing out from all directions with rifles in hand, bare-chested, and shouting "Your Majesty, Locust, get on board!" The machine guns in their hands spewed out tongues of fire, and the Japanese soldiers fell down in groups.

Suddenly, several grenades were thrown from behind the Japanese. The warehouse manager shouted, "Grenade, hide quickly."

The space of the assault team was gradually compressed by the Japanese grenades. Looking at the Japanese barracks behind them, Siberian Wolf said, "Damn it, I finally know how Team C disappeared."

Timberwolf: "The enemy we encountered before was holding a rifle, and we caught them off guard. The space in the enemy's barracks is limited, and when the enemy reinforcements come, the grenades alone will be enough to give us a hard time."

The warehouse manager changed a drum and said, "Change the magazine and attack."

After saying that, he rushed out first. As soon as he rushed out, a grenade fell at his feet, and along with the grenade came the enemy's light machine gun. The warehouse manager rolled to avoid the enemy's machine gun, pulled out his pistol and shot down the enemy's machine gunner. Before he could catch his breath, another machine gun opened fire.

The sounds of "bang bang bang bang" were accompanied by "puff puff puff". Looking at several of his comrades being shot into pieces, Gray Wolf cursed inwardly, "These are the weapons that were lost during the retreat that night."

Gray Wolf: Artillery? I am Group A. Group A and Group B have completed their combat objectives. Please cover them with artillery fire. The enemy has a general-purpose machine gun that our unit has discarded. We hope you will destroy it.

Wang Laoguan: Artillery, take action immediately. We cannot let our mistakes cause large-scale casualties among our friendly forces in the future.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

Seeing the Japanese army camp being bombed into pieces, Wang Laoguan gave an order to call back the troops.

..........

Hattori Heichang came out of the anti-artillery cave and looked at the ruined military camp with tears in his eyes. He regretted setting up the military camp outside the city.

At this time, Yukigoro Tamura came to report the losses.

Hattori Heichang asked, "Tamura-kun, what is the loss?"

Tamura Yukigoro paused and said, "Captain, please don't get too excited. Today the enemy attacked our army. A total of 347 of our soldiers were killed, 82 were missing, 34 were seriously injured, and 149 were slightly injured."

After listening to this, Hattori Heizhang straightened his clothes and said, "Report to the First Army Headquarters. Tamura-kun, please be my kaishakunin."

Tamura Yukigoro was anxious, and quickly grabbed Hattori Heichang and said, "Captain, you can't commit seppuku. For the sake of the locust country, please stay useful."

Hattori Heizhang said pessimistically: "Since such a huge loss has been caused, I will definitely be brought to court-martial. Even the Hattori family will be disgraced because of me."

When Tamura Yukigoro heard this, he knew that Hattori Heizhang did not want to die, so he suggested: "Why don't you draw veterans and elite soldiers from Nishimura's Battalion to supplement our Hattori Battalion. As for the shortage of soldiers in Nishimura's Battalion, you can draw young and strong people from the local expatriates and ronin."

At this point, he paused and continued, "We can write this in our battle report: In the early morning of December 12, a small group of Eighth Route Army troops attacked Xiyang City. Our army fought hard and drove them away."

At this point, a signalman suddenly rushed over and said, "Captain, the locust army in Wangjia Town called to report that the Zhangzhuang stronghold was razed to the ground by the fierce artillery bombardment of the Chinese soldiers. All members of the squadron were killed today."

Hearing this, Tamura Yukigoro's eyes lit up, and after signaling the signalman to go out, he said excitedly: "Captain, great news."

"We can write our battle report. Zhangzhuang stronghold was attacked. Captain Jincun requested tactical guidance. The acting military police captain of Xiyang City then sent the Xicun Battalion to support Zhangzhuang stronghold. The enemy ambushed the Xicun Battalion halfway, and the Xicun Battalion wiped out the ambush."

"In this great victory at Zhangzhuang, only 11 men of the Xicun Battalion were killed, but unfortunately 47 fell off a cliff and died, 26 drowned when they strayed into a mountain stream, and 4 were injured when they strayed into a trap set by a hunter to catch wild boars. 42 were accidentally injured by our stray bullets, and Captain Fukuda and 87 soldiers are missing."

Hattori Heizhang asked with a worried look on his face: "Is it okay to report like this?"

Tamura Yukigoro said affirmatively: "Captain, it will definitely work. The 29th Brigade has issued such a battle report before."

After listening to this, Hattori Heizhang said excitedly: "Hurry up, hurry up and send it out."

"Hai!"
