Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Wangjia Town Command Post

Huang Zherang was dozing off on a recliner, while Qiu Lixing was sorting out the battle reports from several frontline positions, waiting for Huang Zherang to wake up so that he could report them one by one.

At this time, the door of the command post opened, and confidential staff officer Li Haiyue hurried in. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qiu Lixing point his finger at his lips, and then point at Huang Zherang who was resting on a recliner. He quickly stopped, walked to Qiu Lixing and whispered, "General Qiu, we have determined the number of the enemy on the right wing."

Qiu Lixing whispered: "If the newly formed Second Regiment has been fighting all night and still doesn't know who the enemy is, then Zhang Kangnian should not be the regiment commander!"

Li Haiyue chuckled and said, "The enemy tried to attack the position of the New Second Regiment last night, but Zhang Kangnian caught them in the trap and wiped out a battalion of the Japanese with minimal sacrifice."

Hearing that a battalion was eaten up on the right wing, Qiu Lixing said excitedly: "I was wondering why the Japanese on the right wing had been biting the Second Regiment all night, it turns out that a battalion was eaten up. Tell Zhang Kangnian, I want to commend him for the credit."

"Which enemy unit is the right wing facing?"

Huang Zherang's voice came from the side, and the two of them looked and saw that Huang Zherang had stood up from the recliner.

Li Haiyue quickly told Huang Zherang the information he had received: "Zhang Kangnian: The enemy we encountered was the enemy's 2000th Independent Mixed Brigade, whose commander was Major General Tsuchiya Bingma. We have been fighting with the 700th Independent Mixed Brigade for a night, and killed a lieutenant colonel and a major colonel. We killed more than enemies and more than of our troops were killed."

"The Japanese are getting anxious. It's only been a few days since the Wangjiazhen battle ended, and they transferred two security brigades from the Qilu area and attacked our unit directly without even taking a break. If the headquarters hadn't known that we had a heavy task to do and hadn't replenished us with a large number of soldiers, I'm afraid we would have had to run back to Xiyang County in disgrace." Qiu Lixing said half-jokingly.

"Telegram to Zhang Kangnian: There is only the enemy's 6th Independent Mixed Brigade in front of your unit. I hope you will carry forward the Chu Ting spirit and fight bravely to win. You must defeat this enemy force before noon today and penetrate behind the enemy in front."

Li Haiyue wrote it down and asked, "Boss Huang, the Second Regiment has not rested for a day and a night. Should we let the direct team take over for a while so that the soldiers of the Second Regiment can have a hot meal?"

Hearing Li Haiyue say that the Second Regiment should take a break, Huang Zherang scolded, "Nonsense, the Second Regiment didn't take a break, so did the First Regiment? The Second Regiment only faced a second-rate brigade, while the First Regiment faced a brigade plus a puppet brigade. The Officers' Corps even faced a Japanese detachment and a brigade and a puppet brigade, and they didn't complain. If Zhang Kangnian can fight, he can fight. If he can't, I can replace him and kill these damn Japanese devils."

Seeing Huang Zherang getting angry, Qiu Lixing quickly tried to appease him, saying, "Haiyue, you just arrived and don't understand the situation. It's no wonder Junzuo scolded you. Li Tianxia's troops haven't rested since they met the enemy at noon yesterday. During that time, he even led a commando team to rescue Ye Lisan, and he didn't complain."

"Telegram Li Tianxia, ​​order him to start a decisive battle with the enemy in direct contact at 9 am today. Do not seek to annihilate the enemy, but only to kill as many as possible. Also send the brigade's direct troops to the rear of the officers' corps. If the enemy has any intention of retreating, let the officers' corps engage the enemy as much as possible."

After saying that, Huang Zherang fell on the recliner and fell into a deep sleep.

When Qiu Lixing saw that Huang Zherang had fallen asleep, he quickly pulled Li Haiyue out of the command post.

After coming out, Qiu Lixing pointed at Li Haiyue's nose and cursed: "You don't even need to think about it. It's true that the Second Regiment fought hard all night, but they fought with superior numbers and firepower. It's only a matter of time before they defeat the enemy. The officers should be the ones to withdraw now. They are not afraid of death. They have been holding out for a whole day and night with less than 1000 people against the onslaught of the enemy."

"Mr. Qiu, I know I was wrong." Li Haiyue said with some guilt.

"It's no use for you to admit your mistakes to me now. Go and convey the order clearly to the heads of various departments."

"Yes!"

Taigyo Mountain

After eating a bowl of fragrant and greasy braised pork, Li Yunlong touched his mouth and said to Chen Chuting: "Brother Chen, the friendly forces really took good care of us. They got up early in the morning to prepare meals for our 5000 people."

Chen Chuting looked at the light snow falling from the sky again and said with a smile: "My brother-in-law knew that the friendly troops had consumed a lot of food today, so he specially asked our logistics troops to kill pigs overnight. A total of 100 pigs, including bones and meat, were stewed for half a night. He must make sure that the friendly troops are well fed."

"There are also the weapons that my brother-in-law promised us. Each submachine gun and machine gun has bullets, and the mortar is equipped with 1000 rounds of shells. There are also a large amount of military rations, canned meat and cotton clothes. When marching, let the soldiers wrap the canned food that we have steamed and put close to their bodies."

After listening to this, Li Yunlong said with satisfaction: "Friendly troops are very particular about what they do. Director Chen does his job perfectly. I admire him."

Chen Chuting quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, this is what we should do. Captain Li, I won't disturb you from eating. Remember to stay safe."

"Okay, Director Chen, take care. I won't see you off."

Looking at Chen Chuting's back, Li Yunlong's expression straightened and he shouted loudly: "New Regiment, assemble."

After Li Yunlong gave the order, the new regiment quickly assembled, and more than 5000 people in the regiment quickly gathered.

Li Yunlong looked at the soldiers with their mouths full and knew that soldiers generally did not have enough to eat these days, let alone meat, even coarse grains were not enough.

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "The friendly forces have prepared for us from the inside out. Our goal is to penetrate the mountains and cut off the retreat of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, so as to prepare for the first annihilation battle of the friendly forces."

"Now hurry up and eat, and then we'll take action."

Just after Li Yunlong's troops had made a detour from one side, the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade arrived.

The soldiers under Wang Laoguan hurriedly fought a small-scale encounter with the Japanese, and the Japanese quickly formed positions to fight a positional battle with Wang Laoguan. The two sides fought back and forth, and Wang Laoguan's machine guns were set up at a high point, suppressing the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, which was very painful.

Kenkichi Ikegami looked at the enemy's position and couldn't help but sigh that the commander on the opposite side was an expert. The firepower of light and heavy machine guns was arranged very reasonably, and the soldiers were even more elite. Judging from the battle just now, the enemy must be a master who is good at defensive warfare.

Seeing the waves of skirmishers being suppressed by the high-point machine guns, and then under the massive firepower of the Eighth Route Army, Ikegami Kenkichi quickly drew his command knife and shouted: "Attack! Kill the locusts on board! Kill the Japanese pirates on board!"

Hearing this slogan, the Japanese soldiers' fighting power instantly increased several points, and many old Japanese soldiers rushed forward desperately.

Seeing another wave of the Japanese charge being defeated, Ikegami Kenkichi said helplessly: "Mr. Zhongye,"

Zhongye Jingwu hurried over and said, "Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander!"

"Zhongyejun arranged two battalions to attack head-on, and at the same time set up artillery positions to attack the enemy positions and provide cover for our warriors."

"Yes!"

Qianjiayu

Li Yunlong's new regiment arrived here in a hurry. After Li Yunlong confirmed the position, he laughed and said, "Let's go around behind these devils and make them suffer."

"Captain, what should we do next?" Zhang Dabiao asked.

"Tell the telegraph operator to send a message to Brother Wang, saying that our troops have arrived at the designated location. We are now attacking the enemy without stopping."

After saying this, Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and said:

"Da Biao, I have placed all the weapons sent by friendly forces in your First Battalion. You lead the First Battalion in the direction where the Japanese are marching. When you see the Japanese, don't ask for instructions, just attack them."

"understand!"

...

Wang Laoguan Command Post

Zhang Guang held the telegram from Li Yunlong and said, "General Wang, Commander Li's troops have arrived at the designated location. They are moving to the rear of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade."

After Wang Laoguan knew this, a smile finally flashed across his tense face.

"Order, all units to attack the Japanese in batches, to contain them and buy time for Captain Li and his men to penetrate."

"Yes!"
