Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

On Cangyun Ridge

Tracer bullets and flares flashed, and the two sides fired back and forth, forming a tug-of-war situation.

Sakata Nobutsu saw the 5th Infantry Battalion retreating from the rear, and asked in confusion: "Ura Tomo-kun, look at the position on the opposite side, the light and heavy firepower are extremely unreasonable. The enemy's machine guns have been completely destroyed by the grenade launchers of the 5th Infantry Battalion, so why can't they break through?"

"Sir, the enemy is not like the Eighth Route Army we saw before. Those Eighth Route Army only had some grenade launchers and mortars as heavy firepower. When the Fifth Infantry Battalion rushed forward, the enemy used a large number of mountain artillery to cover the firepower at a distance of 30 meters between the two sides. The Fifth Infantry Battalion suffered heavy losses and had to retreat."

Sakata Nobutsu nodded and said to Staff Officer Uratomo with a smile, "Listen, the enemy's firepower is much sparser than before. I believe they also suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. Order the 3rd Infantry Battalion to join the attack sequence."

Staff Officer Uratomo nodded heavily and said, "Yay!"

Cangyunling Blocking Position

Principal Hu went to the front line in person and replaced Li Tianxia as the players' commander-in-chief. Watching the Japanese vanguard troops retreat, he quickly ordered a head count and set up machine gun positions in the rear.

After Tang Keqin walked around the player camp, he came to report: "Principal, we have lost 86 brothers."

After listening to this, Principal Hu nodded without saying anything. He watched the machine gun positions being cleared one by one with a frown on his face. With so many machine gun positions placed directly on the front line, wouldn't this just serve as targets for the Japanese grenade launchers?

Principal Hu was allocating firepower when suddenly the Japanese army's mountain artillery fired. Tang Keqin leaped over and covered Principal Hu with his body, and the Japanese army launched a fierce artillery attack.

After a round of shelling, Principal Hu was dug out of the pile of dirt by several players.

Principal Hu spat a few times and then shouted loudly: "Prepare for battle, the Japanese are coming."

"This is the front line of the mortar position. Request flares."

"The mountain artillery position? Ask your artillery staff to calculate the enemy's artillery position for me and knock it down for me."

As a large number of flares flashed in the night sky, the players' machine gun positions opened fire. The bullets from the machine gun positions on high points were like lasers sweeping across the enemy's skirmish line.

Principal Hu watched the Japanese soldiers fall one by one, still covering his head and charging forward. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his forehead and shrank back into the trench. A stray bullet passed through his forehead, and he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Damn it, the Japanese's shooting skills are really not exaggerated. They can locate me by the flame from my gun muzzle at this late hour."

Although the Japanese skirmishers suffered heavy casualties, they were able to advance steadily with the continuous reinforcement of reserve forces.

Principal Hu looked at the Japs who were different from before and knew that holding back would only restrict the players' advantages, so he told the players to fight freely.

When the players heard that they could fight at will, they immediately became excited. Recently, many players have been playing the game of self-destructive trucks, and they feel that traditional positional warfare has low returns and consumes a lot of energy.

The Japanese originally wanted to use their military strength advantage to slowly erode the players' positions, but a large number of players rushed out of their positions with submachine guns, fired indiscriminately at the Japanese's scattered lines, and launched a counterattack against the Japanese.

Forward Command Post

Wang Guangru looked at the report from the frontier observation post and the map to study whether to let the teaching team lead the infantry to bypass the side peak and penetrate to the rear of the Sakata regiment to block his retreat route. According to the frontier observation post, one of the two infantry battalions of the devil has been eaten by the players, and the remaining one is entangled with the players. Judging from the devil's continuous replenishment of troops, the old devil Sakata has at most 800 people around him, and the teaching team can defeat them with a charge.

"Boss Wang, the Japanese have sent more troops. Another battalion of Japanese rushed up from the rear. The players have lost their frontline positions."

"It seems that the Japanese are not coming with a regiment, but perhaps a brigade," Wang Guangru analyzed.

"Orders, front-line troops, show the might of the officers' corps and drive the devils away."

"No need. Now that we have captured the enemy's main force, we must order the troops to move forward. We must resolve the battle as soon as possible. Pass the order down. We will only recognize the clothes and not the people. We will fight wherever we chase them. Order the training team to quickly make a detour and block the enemy's retreat route." Xiao Zongmin's unquestionable voice came. Everyone looked at Xiao Zongmin, who had been dozing on the recliner just now, and now he had stood up, looking at the map with his bright eyes.

Second line position

“Da da da”, “Da da”, “Boom”, “Boom”, “Puff puff puff”, “Boom”

After wiping the dust off his face, Principal Hu said to Bai Cang who had brought reinforcements: "Damn it, Old Bai's group of devils are too bullying."

Bai Cang shook his head and said, "The military skills of these devils are not weak. I think you were rushed down by them just now because the devils rushed up in a swarm and fought you back."

"Have you noticed that the enemy's firepower has weakened a lot? After occupying the front-line positions, the enemy is fighting a war of attrition with us. Wait for me to lead the officers to charge and attract the enemy's attention. By then, the rear will be empty, and the training team will probably stab the enemy's ass."

After listening to Bai Cang's words, Principal Hu nodded and said, "I will lead the team, and you stay behind to command."

“Tick-tick, tick ...”

Before Principal Hu finished speaking, the charge horn sounded, and the front-line positions were immediately covered by artillery fire.

"Who the hell blew the charge!" Before Principal Hu finished scolding, he saw the soldiers of the Guard Regiment rushing forward from the rear position facing the artillery fire. The artillery fire began to extend forward, and the soldiers of the Guard Regiment continued firing their weapons while stepping on the hot ground.

Principal Hu said blankly, "Are we going to attack with all our forces?"

Under the absolute number and firepower suppression of the Guards Regiment, the Japs fell in wave after wave like a tide.

When Sakata saw the Japanese defeat in the headquarters, he drew his command knife and shouted to the several battalions left behind to defend the headquarters to quickly join the battle and resist the charging Eighth Route Army.

At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Uratomo, who was in charge of the rear guard, rushed in with gunpowder all over his body and said, "Captain, the 2000th Infantry Battalion in charge of the rear guard has been defeated. More than enemies have rushed up from behind us. Commander Hayata has been killed!"

As the two were communicating, the fire from the mountain artillery position extended and hit the command post.

The Japanese soldiers guarding the headquarters watched their superiors being slaughtered, and many team leaders began to command the Japanese soldiers to launch a suicidal charge towards the International Youth Column.

Guard Regiment Commander Zhao Jingxing looked at the many Japanese soldiers rushing up and directly detonated the grenades on their bodies, insisting on dragging the soldiers of the Youth Column to die together.

He said anxiously: "Keep some distance, keep some distance, the devils are going crazy."

"Captain, the first battalion is entangled with two battalions of Japanese soldiers. They are having a hard time fighting."

"Go to support!"

Front Command

Zhao Jingxing strode in. Xiao Zongmin looked at the dust on his body and one of his legs soaked in blood. He couldn't help but ask worriedly, "How are you? Can you hold on?"

Zhao Jingxing brushed off the dust on his body, patted his thigh and said, "No problem, I was just bitten by a stray bullet from the Japanese when I was charging."

After hearing that his guard captain was fine, he asked about the situation on the battlefield: "How many casualties did the troops have? Did the old devil Sakata escape?"

Thinking of the soldiers who died in the battle, Zhao Jingxing said with some sadness: "The Japs finally launched a suicide charge. The first battalion of our guard regiment faced the Japs' counterattack head-on. There were heavy casualties, and only more than 300 people retreated." At this point, Zhao Jingxing choked up a little.

"But we successfully defeated the main force of the Japanese. Now the soldiers are chasing the fleeing Japanese soldiers all over the mountains and plains."

Hearing that less than one company of his most elite battalion was left after the battle, Xiao Zongmin was a little dazed. A surge of blood rushed to his head, and his eyes went dark and his body softened, falling on the recliner.

"Commander!" everyone exclaimed.

Xiao Zongmin waved his hand to indicate that he had no problem, and said, "I am sorry to the soldiers. Guangru, go and count the losses, and then report it to the Taiyue Military Region together with the data of the Wangjiazhen battle."

After saying that, Xiao Zongmin looked at Zhao Jingxing again.

"Jingxing, go collect the remains of our comrades, make a good count, and make sure to provide compensation."

Eighth Route Army Headquarters

The boss looked at the telegram in his hand and said loudly, "Great! Well done!"

The brigade commander smiled and said, "I was also surprised when I received this battle report. In two days, we wiped out five regiments, two battalions, and a puppet army division. This guy really made a big splash in Shanxi."

"Huang Zherang is truly a talent. He fought in the battles of the past two days. Although there were many flaws, it was a great victory after all. Why not let him go to northern Shaanxi to learn?" General Peng suggested with a smile.

Brigade Commander Chen recalled the battle report and said, "It is indeed time for him to learn. He is a bit rough in fighting. In the Battle of Wangjia Town, an elite regiment fought for a whole night and only had 30 people retreat. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are trying to attract the attention of the Japanese. If the Japanese also wanted to eat him, he would probably be attacked by the Japanese on the flank, and the battle line would eventually collapse."

General Peng nodded and said, "We annihilated the enemy with only 5000 casualties. This is a great victory anyway. I will report this to northern Shaanxi and ask Comrade Desheng for his opinion."
