Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Wangjiazhen Forward Command Post

Huang Zherang was giving orders in the command post.

"Order the 1st and 2nd Infantry Companies and the three transport companies, and the officers' team to hold the front-line positions."

"Tank Company, Infantry Companies 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, wait for the officers' team to arrive, then use the tank company as the spearhead and wait for an opportunity to march north along the highway to find the main force of the Japanese and engage in a decisive battle."

"Mr. Huang, there are only 5 infantry companies and the officer corps, totaling 1000 people. This small number of people has to face an enemy that is ten times their number. The losses will be huge!" asked the confidential staff officer Plywood.

Huang Zherang drew the enemy's attack intention on the map and said, "If the enemy continues to attack our frontier positions from the entrance of Wangjia Town, you will encounter at most a few thousand people. Even under the cover of tanks, you can't beat a few thousand light infantry. Our infantry is mechanized infantry."

At this time, the messenger came in and said, "Junsao, headquarters has issued a dispatch order!"

"read."

"Huang Zherang, I know you've fought hard, so I'll use four tank companies to exchange for your four infantry companies. But I'll only give you six transport companies, so use them sparingly. Xiao Zongmin"

When Huang Zherang heard that four tank companies would be coming, a hint of joy flashed across his face. There were a total of 180 tanks in five tank companies, and the two armies were only 8 kilometers apart. A charge by the tank cluster could catch him off guard.

"Quickly dispatch the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Infantry Companies to Cangyun Ridge. Have someone arrange a few tank companies to prepare for the attack." Huang Zherang said to the messenger.

Huang Zherang calmed down, looked at the officers sitting there, pointed at the map and said, "Order the east and west artillery groups to officially start the attack at 11.00: noon. After the attack begins, the west artillery group will only fire one round, then load up and follow the tank group to move north."

"The third and fourth infantry companies are following the tank group to charge. It is now 8.00: a.m. All commanders should go back and arrange for the soldiers. Tell the kitchen team to go back and stew the meat so that every soldier can eat their fill before going to the battlefield!"

At this point, Huang Zhe's face became serious. He looked at the officers present and asked, "What is our goal?"

"Kill these damned Japanese bastards!"*59

"Comrades, action!"

As soon as Huang Zherang finished speaking, all the officers present took action.

Wangjiazhen

Shinichi Aota stood at a high point and looked at the raging fire at the location where the Western Heavy Artillery Group was located yesterday, and a smile flashed across his lips.

Turning around and looking at the three captains who had been following him for a long time, Qingtian Shinichi said with a serious face: "Gentlemen, this battle is not only for revenge for Hattori-kun, but also for the survival of the Locust Country and the glory of the Fourth Division. The opposing troops are well-known as the God of Wealth. The guns of any of their officers are worth thousands of US dollars. You can tell your subordinates that I will not take a penny from the spoils of this battle."

"I am willing to follow the captain into the charge!"*3

"Go and get ready!"

Miyano Jiro looked at the ready Aota Regiment, walked up to Aota Shinichi and said: "Miyano Regiment and Aso Regiment will each dispatch three infantry squadrons to follow you in the charge, and three infantry regiments will be dispatched from the Security Division to follow you. In addition, we have 20 Type 18 infantry guns and 41 Type mountain guns, and you can command them at any time. When your troops rush to the enemy's position, my troops will attack from the road and catch them off guard."

"Thank you, Miyano-kun." After saying that, Shinichi Aota bowed.

Cangyunling Temporary Front Command Post

Xiao Zongmin was taking a nap when Xiao Wen rushed in and said, "Commander, the Guard Regiment has occupied the main peak, and the Training Battalion has led six newly formed infantry companies to occupy the side peaks. Five heavy artillery battalions and five mountain artillery battalions have been deployed, and the column's direct air defense company is in place. Huang Zherang has called back and the four infantry companies are on the way, and will serve as a reserve force with the transport company and the logistics company."

Xiao Zongmin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have you found Sakata?"

"Scouts sent a message saying that the enemy will pass Cangyun Ridge in half a day."

"Sakata, you kept me waiting."

"Notify the kitchen staff to prepare double portions of food. Keep the leftovers on the stove to keep them warm. Sakata won't be here now, and our soldiers can't wait for him with empty stomachs."

"Yes."

Wangjiazhen front line

Ye Lisan felt the dirt sliding down his head, and smiled at Qi Yushu beside him and said, "The Japanese are getting angry. More than a dozen battalions of mountain artillery and infantry artillery have gathered together to bombard our front-line positions."

Qi Yushu wiped the dust off his helmet with a rag and said to Ye Lisan, "Captain Ye, the Japanese are getting anxious. Fortunately, they don't have large-caliber artillery, otherwise they would have buried us alive in the anti-artillery cave."

"It's 10 o'clock in the morning, which is almost the same time as the general attack we set. I think our heavy artillery cluster is in place." As Ye Lisan spoke, he shook the phone, but the phone line was blown off by the Japanese, and there was no sound no matter how he shook it.

Ding Cangsheng: Captain Ye, telegram from General Huang.

Ye Lisan: He said that the telephone line here must have been blown off, and the call couldn’t be connected.

Ding Cangsheng: Mr. Huang asked you about the casualties of our troops?

Ye Lisan: Tell General Huang that the Japanese artillery shells are too dense for me to confirm the casualties of the troops. I request artillery support from the heavy artillery group.

Ding Cangsheng: General Hu agreed. He said that after the heavy artillery group destroyed the enemy's artillery positions, the artillery fire would extend in the direction of Wangjia Town, and asked you to be prepared to quickly treat the wounded and build positions after the Japanese artillery bombardment stopped.

Ye Lisan: Okay, I understand. Please notify the medical company.

Ding Cangsheng: Good.

Eastern Heavy Artillery Group

Wei Dapaolun took the phone and said, "I'm at the artillery position."

"General Huang ordered to find the enemy's artillery position and destroy it, and extend the artillery fire from the artillery position to the front line of Wangjia Town."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Wei Dapao Lun summoned the captains of the artillery companies, "General Huang ordered that the Eastern Heavy Artillery Group destroy the enemy's artillery positions and then extend the artillery fire to the front line of Wangjia Town."

"Yes"*7

"Fire" "Fire" "Fire"

As the orders were given, the Eastern Heavy Artillery Cluster roared.

When Aota Shinichi realized that the artillery position had been destroyed, he knew that the enemy's heavy artillery cluster was about to cover the enemy with firepower, and he shouted: "Artillery fire, take cover."

After the bombardment, the whole place was in ruins. Qingtian Shinichi looked at Wangjia Town, which had been bombed into a depression, and said to the Japanese soldiers on the road: "Warriors of the Empire, attack, and kill the locusts on board!"

The Japs either rushed down from the back mountain of Wangjia Town, or rushed into Wangjia Town through the gap.

Shinichi Qingtian followed the charging Japanese to the front-line position of Wangjia Town and ordered the Japanese around him to dig people out of the pile of earth to see if there were any Japanese still alive.

Ye Lisan watched the Japanese rushing towards him from the direction of Wangjia Town, and he knew that the Japanese were really going to attack.

Then he ordered: "Fire!"

Following Ye Lisan's order, submachine guns, general-purpose machine guns, mountain cannons and mortars took turns to go into battle.

Several squadrons serving as the vanguard of the Japanese army were ambushed and began to die in large numbers. The two sides fell into a stalemate 50 meters inside and outside the position.

The players had strong firepower, while the Japanese had accurate shooting. The two sides fought back and forth, and from time to time, someone was shot and fell. Some soldiers saw that the Japanese were gathering more and more, so they pushed out the 20mm Flak-38 anti-aircraft gun, leveled it and fired at the Japanese, and the momentum of the Japanese charge was immediately knocked out.

Ye Lisan knew that the enemy outnumbered us and that he would suffer if the Japanese rushed to the front line, so he picked up the phone and called the mountain artillery company.

"Mountain artillery company? I am on the front line. I order you to fire 50 meters in front of my unit."

The three mountain artillery companies opened fire at the same time, blowing the Japanese soldiers and horses to pieces.

When Qingtian saw the charging Japanese soldiers disintegrate, he picked up his command knife and killed a retreating Japanese soldier, then raised his command knife and shouted: "Kill the locusts on board! Charge!"

This sentence gave the Japanese soldiers more confidence, and they, led by Shinichi Aota, charged towards the dense firepower network.

Miyano, who was standing on the back mountain of Wangjia Town, saw that the Qingtian Regiment had already rushed to the players' positions, so he ordered the Miyano Regiment, the Aso Regiment, and the Puppet Manchukuo Army Guard Division to rush towards the players' positions from the highway.

Forward Command

Huang Zherang saw the Japanese charging from the direction of the highway, so he ordered: "Tank cluster, attack."

With Huang Zherang's order, a tank group consisting of 180 T-34 tanks rushed towards the oncoming Japanese invaders from the road.

As the temporary commander of the tank group, the veteran Happy Car saw the slightly hesitant Japanese soldiers in front of him and said excitedly: "Go past them, their anti-tank guns can't penetrate our armor."

When the tanks of the two sides met, the T-34 tanks naturally killed the Japanese little guys one by one. Many Japanese rushed towards the tank cluster holding explosives, but were soon shot by the infantry mixed in the tank cluster.

As the tank cluster advanced like a hot knife through butter, the Miyano Regiment and the Aso Regiment were quickly dispersed. Many of them had participated in the Battle of Nomonhan and knew that several divisions had been destroyed by tanks like the ones before them. They wished their parents had two more legs so that they could escape from the tank cluster's pursuit as quickly as possible.

The transport company watched as the Japanese began to disintegrate in front of them. Many large trucks rushed out from the side of the road and stepped on the accelerator to ram into the Japanese on the highway.

The Veteran Happy Car saw that the Japanese were defeated in less than half an hour of fighting. It was a bit regrettable that they did not wipe out all the Japanese. There were too many pieces of Japanese flesh, which were somewhat stuck to the tracks.

Seeing many transport soldiers driving trucks to hit the Japanese, they cheered.

On the front line, Huang Zherang had already gone to the battlefield with a rifle. Seeing the Qingtian Regiment still fighting desperately, Huang Zherang threw away his rifle, picked up a submachine gun and rushed out of the trench. He and the players of the officer corps began to annihilate the remaining enemies.

The setting sun was as red as blood, and the small area of ​​Wangjia Town was littered with corpses. Huang Zherang ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and collect the remains of their comrades. He led the officers' corps to clear out the remaining enemies in Wangjia Town.

When we got to the back of the mountain, a voice with a slight northern accent came out: "Are you the commander of this unit?"

Huang Zherang looked at the old Japanese soldier walking down from the back mountain.

He replied, "It's me."

Miyano Jiro bowed to Huang Zherang and said, "Please, let me end my life in the samurai way."

Before Miyano Jiro finished speaking, Huang Zhe shot him in the head and said to the players behind him: "What do you mean by ending your life in a samurai way? You gave him dignity, but we don't have any merits. Everything in battle is based on merits. Do you understand?"

"I understand"*22

"Quickly count the casualties of each unit, clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and notify the resurrected officers to provide support in the direction of Cang Yunling."
