Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Wangjiazhen

The newly formed first regiment's position, because the war is over, most of the non-commissioned officers who participated in the battle have returned to the base to receive officer training. Now the non-commissioned officers in each department are the elites among the players and soldiers.

As powerful generals under Huang Zherang, Li Tianxia was appointed as the commander of the newly formed first regiment, and Yang Meng was appointed as the commander of the first battalion. At this time, the two of them were arranging the defense of each unit in the temporary command center with the company commanders.

Li Tianxia looked around and saw that everyone was eager to try. Among them, Yang Meng even said that his battalion alone could defeat the Red Detachment.

"The Red Detachment is no weaker than the Sakata Regiment. The Sakata Regiment has defeated two divisions of the Central Army, and the Red Detachment has done this before. We must minimize the casualties of our soldiers. In the future, we will not only face the Red Detachment, we will liberate all of Shanxi and the entire Longguo!" When Li Tianxia said this, he felt proud.

Yang Meng suggested: "At Cangyun Ridge, the heavy artillery deployed by the Guards Regiment was completely useless. We can use the heavy artillery to attack the enemy first, and then the infantry will rush up to defeat them."

Li Tianxia shook her head and said, "The Sakata Regiment was a tired army at the time. The Guards Regiment rushed up to fight them under the cover of artillery fire. The counterattack of the Japanese caused heavy losses to the Guards Regiment. Junzuo ordered Ye Lisan's officers to take the lead in the attack. I fully agree."

When Yang Meng heard that it was Huang Zherang's order, he immediately said: "According to the enemy's fighting style, they will definitely split a force from the main front attack force to attack our flank position. According to the strength of a brigade on the opposite side, this small force is likely to be an infantry battalion of the enemy. We should annihilate them as much as possible. When the enemy's frontal forces are fighting with the officer corps, we will attack from the flank and completely annihilate this isolated enemy force that has penetrated deep into the enemy's territory."

"I think it's possible. The headquarters won't give us many more soldiers. Our next target is the enemy's pacification office. We need to accumulate strength to take it down and cut off the enemy's transportation lines, so that the enemy in North China cannot take care of both ends. Our unit cannot suffer too much loss in this battle." Li Tianxia said, pointing in the direction of Niangzi Pass.

"We still have a lot of troops in the rear undergoing bandit suppression training. Mr. Wang is currently confronting the enemy's 9th Independent Mixed Brigade. This is our precious time for development," said Chief of Staff Luo Xin.

"Then all units return to their positions and prepare for the attack. After the officers' corps rushes forward as the first echelon, our infantry will follow closely behind." Li Tianxia gave an order, and all the officers in the command room nodded in agreement.

...

The Red Detachment was marching rapidly on the Pingyang Highway towards Wangjia Town. Staff Officer Nago caught up with Hong Qinye's car and said hurriedly, "Commander, the First Army Headquarters has ordered our troops to return to Yangquan. His Excellency Tada Shun has ordered the 5th and 6th Independent Mixed Brigades that have arrived in Yangquan to quickly rest and join our attack echelon. We hope that our troops will wait for the friendly forces to rest and then use our superior forces to annihilate the enemy forces entrenched in Wangjia Town."

"Mr. Nago, you and I are both soldiers of the 11th Army, and are not under the jurisdiction of the North China Expeditionary Army. Lord Tada Shun is as timid as a mouse, and the enemy is only a mere 10,000 peasant army. I have informed Major General Katayama Shotaro that my unit will be the vanguard, and Major General Katayama Shotaro will lead the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade to defeat the enemy's flank. My unit and the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade will encircle the enemy's main force in order to wipe out this stubborn enemy." Hong Qin also said disdainfully while sitting on the truck. In his opinion, Wangjia Town had only more than 10,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers, and his Red Detachment plus the 4th Mixed Brigade had a total of 14,000 people, which was enough to successfully complete this battle.

Taiyuan First Army Headquarters

"Commander, our troops have engaged the enemy. The enemy's firepower is fierce. If we retreat, they will easily chase us. We are confident that we can annihilate the peasant army entrenched in Wangjia Town. Please don't worry, Commander. Long live the locusts, and long live the Japanese locust army."

After listening to the telegram sent by Hong Qin, Tada Shun pondered for a while and said, "Hong Qin is also good at fighting tough battles. Order the flight squadron to take off immediately and target Wangjia Town. Instruct the 5th and 6th Independent Mixed Brigades and two security brigades that are resting in Yangquan to quickly join the attack. Also order the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade to attack. The offensive and defensive situation of Shanxi this time depends entirely on this battle."

"Hai."

Over Wangjia Town

24 Japanese planes were lined up in a row and flying towards Wangjia Town.

The air defense group on the ground saw this and quickly moved into their respective positions. Li Lusheng looked at the enemy planes in the sky, smiled grimly and said, "Damn it, you dare to be so arrogant even though you know my air defense group is here. Last time, I only had eight air defense companies, and you killed one of them. This time, I have fifteen air defense companies, and I can’t stop you."

"Order all gun positions to wait for the enemy planes to reach the designated positions and then fire freely."

On the ground, 180 88-gun guns on the mountain opened fire, and dense shells hit the sky. Four Japanese bombers were shot down at first sight.

The Japanese air force saw the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground and wanted to dive attack, but was caught off guard by a large number of 20mm anti-aircraft machine guns. The two sides exchanged fire back and forth, I scrapped one of your planes, and you attacked my anti-aircraft position.

On the front line, Ye Lisan looked at the planes falling from the sky, and then looked at the Red Detachment approaching aggressively not far away, knowing that a showdown was about to begin.

Hong Qin also saw that the planes in the sky were engaging in fierce fire with the ground forces in Wangjia Town, and knew that this was the best time for her to attack, so she ordered the heavy artillery battalion to fire at the Wangjia Town positions.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

A large number of artillery shells fell into the front-line positions. Ye Lisan, who retreated from the communication trench to the third-line positions, saw that the first- and second-line positions were being plowed by artillery fire.

He swallowed and said, "Damn it, it's so damn dangerous. If we didn't think the Japanese air force would bomb our front-line positions, we brothers would have to take the brunt of the bombing in the trenches."

At the rear artillery position, Li Huo looked at the roar of the Japanese heavy artillery and said with a smile: "Fortunately, our heavy artillery group is behind the front position this time, otherwise we really can't reach the Japanese heavy artillery. Order the staff officers of each company to find the Japanese position for me and then destroy it."

"Binding Elements"

“Fire!” “Fire!” “Fire!”

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

A 150mm heavy artillery company opened fire and instantly destroyed the Red Detachment's heavy artillery battalion. Hong Qin also saw that her own artillery position was destroyed, so she ordered the tank squadron to be the vanguard and five infantry battalions to begin the attack.

At this time, the ground-to-air confrontation was coming to an end. After crashing 17 planes, the Japanese were about to retreat in disgrace. Li Lusheng watched the planes in the sky leaving and ordered to increase firepower. At this time, he received a call from Ye Lisan.

"Lao Li, are there any members of your air defense company on the front line?"

"There is a company here."

"You've been promoting the 88 anti-everything gun every day, haven't you? Now the enemy's tanks are coming up, shoot them down for me."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Li Lusheng called the air defense company on the front line.

"Ninth Company? I'm Li Lusheng. I order you to keep your anti-aircraft guns level and shoot down the enemy's tanks."

"No problem, just watch." Li Qizhi put down the phone and shouted to the 88th Anti-Aircraft Company, "Everyone, keep your guns level, aim at the enemy tanks and shoot."

"clear"

Hong Qin was also watching the Japanese tanks being destroyed one after another on the road from behind, and she threw away her telescope in disbelief.

"Baga, wouldn't the Dragon Army just charge forward with explosive packs when facing the tanks of our Japanese Locust Army? How could they have anti-tank guns!"
