Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

After the Seventh Detachment broke through the Wujiang area, they found that the Japanese in the enemy-occupied area were already fighting with the puppet army.

Chen Hanqian looked at the corrupt situation and knew that attacking one area after another like this would slow down the pace of their detachment.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Li Qingping for instructions. After getting an accurate answer, he decided to fight in a chaotic manner. Since he could not eliminate the enemy accurately, he would eliminate all the enemies blocking their way.

So he asked a detachment of the Third Corps to take over their mission. He led the officers of the Seventh Detachment to put on bayonets, eliminate the stubborn resistance of the Japanese, and seize the weapons of the puppet army.

In a place called Jiangjiagang, the sudden appearance of a company of officers attracted the attention of both warring parties. Before either side made any move, the mortar company behind the company of officers began firing three bursts of fire.

Both sides were caught off guard by a round of artillery fire.

When the puppet soldiers saw that the officers company was intending to eat them, the puppet officer who led the team was so scared when he saw the officers company rushing towards them that he ran away in panic.

But the Japanese soldiers in East China who have been brainwashed by militarism are different. They will not desert the battlefield.

Instead, with bayonets fixed on their Type 38 rifles, a group of Japanese soldiers shouted "Get on board!" while charging towards the officers' company.

But how could the players talk martial ethics with a group of beasts? They just fired their assault rifles and submachine guns lightly and wiped out the Japanese who had lost the cover of the trenches.

After dealing with the charging Japanese soldiers, the players at the front slid into the Japanese trenches and cleared out the Japanese soldiers inside along the communication trenches built by the Japanese soldiers.

In close combat, the bolt-action rifles in the hands of the Japanese were naturally no match for the submachine guns in the hands of the players. They were basically eliminated by the players in the first encounter.

Li Qingping Command

Commander of the Fourth Corps, Jiang Wanchuan, walked in with a telegram, looking worried.

"Boss Li, the Seventh Squadron has received news that they are planning to win in the chaos and take Wu County directly."

Upon hearing the news, Li Qingping was not surprised, but looked as if he had expected it.

"The entire East China region is in chaos right now. It's not because of the Seventh Detachment, but because of the fighting in other parts."

"Look at the telegrams sent by other detachments. They are all in a mess."

"Our column, the devils, and the puppet army are all fighting each other."

"Our detachments and battalions were all chasing after the Japanese, and the Japanese were chasing after the puppet troops."

"This morning, one of our regiments encountered a brigade of the Japanese. Before both sides had even formed their positions, the puppet army launched an attack directly from the flank of the Japanese, catching them off guard."

"By the time our troops rushed forward, the Japs had already started fighting with the puppet troops, and our column took full advantage."

Jiang Wanchuan was also shocked when he heard this development, and asked stutteringly: "Boss Li, isn't this just a mess?"

"Haha." Li Qingping chuckled and said, "You don't understand human nature. In order to survive, the puppet army can point their guns at the devils."

"Similarly, if the Japanese don't want to face our column, they will definitely let the puppet army rush up to block the bullets."

"Since neither side can convince the other, they can only fight with real swords and guns to decide who will die. However, given the situation in East China, the one who will die may be the Japanese."

"So, send a telegram to all the troops involved in the war, telling them that they have their own way of fighting. Now, tell them to move quickly to the Wusong area, except for the troops left in the city, and only recognize the clothes instead of the people."

"Yes!"

Devil Command

Inside the room, Zhefu was looking at the Japanese signalman in front of him with a grim face.

"Baga, why didn't you inform me that the Third Division was coming?"

"Colonel Matsui is... the nephew of General Matsui Iwane. Now Colonel Matsui has died. General Fujita is an old subordinate of General Matsui. If I knew that Colonel Matsui was in trouble, I would commit seppuku!"

"Private Marseille, General." The messenger bowed sharply.

"The commander of the Third Division is now General Yamawaki Masataka, and General Fujita has served as the commander of the Thirteenth Army in Shanghai last year."

Upon hearing the news, Tetsuo was immediately relieved. If he was not killed by the furious Fujita Susumu, he could ask his wife's family to help transfer him back to his homeland.

"Hurry up and contact General Yamawaki and tell him that the Imperial Army has rebelled and is attacking our Locust Army. Tell him to be careful!"

"Hai!"

The 3rd Division had previously lost its 29th Brigade to Li Tianxia in Yangqu, leaving only the 5th Infantry Brigade.

However, after the Japanese were driven out of North China, the Japanese headquarters mobilized local reserve forces and added veterans from the 29th Brigade to re-form the 29th Infantry Brigade.

The newly formed 29th Brigade was ordered to support the Japanese in Wuhu this time.

After receiving the news from Tetsuo in the room, Major General Kenichi Kishikawa, commander of the newly formed 29th Brigade, looked disdainful.

In his opinion, how could those puppet troops who were as docile as sheep attack them, and he was well aware of the combat effectiveness of the puppet troops.

Any infantry company can chase down a division of puppet troops and make them flee in panic. Now the 29th Brigade has more than one infantry company, and there are several divisions on the battlefield.

After thinking for a while, Kishikawa Kenichi called the messengers and ordered: "Pass the order, the 18th Infantry Regiment will immediately move towards Wuhu to assist Major General Shimizu in dealing with the enemy in front of them."

"General, where is the Imperial Army?"

"I think the major general wants to put the blame for the failure of the battle on the Imperial Army. Otherwise, why would the Imperial Army betray us?"

"Hai!"

After receiving the order from Kenichi Kishikawa, the commander of the 18th Infantry Regiment, Shotaro Sato, the 18th Regiment immediately accelerated towards Wuhu.

However, before the 18th Regiment reached the designated location, it was attacked by the puppet army and the Wuhu Column player company at the same time.

The puppet army might be lacking in firepower, but the players’ firepower cannot be said to be sufficient, but rather sufficient to the point of being abnormal.

Hundreds of people carrying ten 150mm howitzers raided the marching column of the th Regiment.

Before Shotaro Sato could react, an infantry battalion had already gone to meet the Japanese locusts under abundant artillery fire.

"Anti-cannon!" "Anti-cannon!"

The Japanese troops on this side had not yet dispersed, and there were only middle-level officers shouting to defend against artillery fire, when the attack from the puppet army over there came unexpectedly.

The puppet troops lying in the reed ditch, led by the division commander Wu Zhisheng, originally wanted to quietly withdraw from the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, the forward observation post reported that a large group of Japanese troops were coming towards them.
