Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Northern Shaanxi Cave

Xiao Zongmin pointed to the Yangquan Mining Area and the Jingxing Mining Area on the map and said, "I have always wanted to attack these two mining areas, but I didn't dare to do so. The ground air defense would suffer too many casualties in the face of the large number of Japanese aircraft. When our column's air force arrived and destroyed the Taiyuan Airport, we found three Japanese divisions stationed there."

The gentleman smiled and shook his head and said: "Half a month ago, Jingxing was easy to fight but you didn't dare to fight. Now Jingxing is just as easy to fight because the Japanese have increased their troops, and you are starting to be hesitant again."

Xiao Zongmin scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I was afraid that the troops would suffer too many casualties. Now the time is ripe, at most the armored brigade will suffer."

The gentleman pointed to the direction of Yu County and pointed at Xiao Zongmin and said: "Why did you only place a regiment and four battalions of infantry here? If the Japanese attack this point, your two brigades outside Yangquan will not be safe."

Xiao Zongmin explained: "Commander, we have investigated Yangquan. There are less than 6000 Japanese and puppet troops in the city. Attacking Yangquan is just a cover. I have a brigade of people. This time I want to use the first division to eat up the three divisions of the Japanese, and then let the second division enter northern Hebei to develop."

After hearing this, the gentleman smiled and said jokingly: "Everyone says your column is very strong. Today I finally saw it."

"Hahahaha." The leaders in the cave all burst into laughter.

When the laughter died down, the teacher said seriously: "But we can't be impatient in fighting the Japanese. We have to eat one bite at a time and fight one battle at a time. Many of your team members are talented people and we can't lose them all on the battlefield."

Xiao Zongmin said with a distressed look: "At the beginning, our column had too few troops, so we directly trained and reorganized them in a systematic way. Now they feel that the team is too bloated, and breaking it up will affect the combat effectiveness. The Japanese are fighting us again. It is rare to capture a part of the Japanese. According to our plan, we still want to liberate several cities. I hope that the leaders in my hometown will support us with some people's livelihood talents."

At this point, Xiao Zongmin said with a bitter look on his face: "Those top students who graduated from the civil engineering department of our column are still working as plasterers in Xiyang County."

"Hahaha."

"Hey, everyone, stop laughing. This shows that the soldiers of the Youth Column have penetrated deeply into the hearts of the people."

The gentleman stopped everyone and motioned for Xiao Zongmin to continue.

Xiao Zongmin looked at the materials Xiao Lin prepared and continued, "There is also the issue of grassroots NCOs. Our troops are now short of a large number of grassroots NCOs. For example, the number of veterans in the reorganized 3rd, 4th, and 5th Brigades is less than one-tenth. Our superior units are currently expanding, so it is difficult for us to ask for help."

Hearing this question, the gentleman also frowned slightly. The lower-level non-commissioned officers represent the degree of control over the team. The International Youth Column has had this problem for a long time. The organization has expanded too quickly, and there have been many wars and there is no time to reorganize before the expansion.

"Let me think about it."

……

Xiyang City

Acting Chief of Staff, the White Banner Lord, Falanxi, looked at the roster in his hand and said to Zhan Loulan, "Old He, if we can reorganize the Fourth Division in northern Hebei, then we can be called the Mountain and River Field Army."

Zhan Loulan took the roster and said, "Our brothers in Ludong are getting very fat. Although the technical troops are a bit scarce, the artillery is also slowly increasing. According to the news from above, several counties have been liberated."

The leader of the White Banner, France, said: "We have several local brothers who are ready to gather troops to liberate Chunhua, Longkou and other places and build oil fields."

Zhan Loulan frowned as he looked at the map and said, "The Japanese 7th Independent Mixed Brigade, which was originally stationed in Huimin, is now stationed in Jingxing. There is only a small group of troops in the county. Send a message to them to liberate Huimin as soon as possible. Tell them not to rush to exploit the oil fields, but to recruit soldiers from the local area and reorganize the Third Division. I will draw personnel from the First Division and the First Regiment to train them."

The leader of the White Banner, France, said with some concern: "The First Division is Lao Huang's foundation. If you dismantle his model regiment, will he come back to settle accounts with you?"

Zhan Loulan interrupted and said, "It's not up to him. The army has expanded too quickly and is in need of veterans everywhere. Now the best veterans of the entire Chen Hu Bai Corps are in the Model Corps. Ludong is a long way, so they have to go."

"Yes, I will transfer it immediately."

……

Putai County, Shandong Province

At this moment, the beautiful lady opened her eyes wide, looking at him with an expression of disbelief, as if she had heard a story like an Arabian Nights.

"You're telling me there are only three devils in Putai County? The rest are puppet troops?" There was a hint of astonishment in his voice, as if he wanted to get a definite answer from Ning Mou Zhi Wei Ni.

Gazing only at you, he also looked bewildered, as if he himself could not believe this fact. He scratched his head and said hesitantly, "I heard that when the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade was transferred, half of the Japanese battalion was left stationed in Beizhen, and there was another Japanese battalion in Zibo."

As soon as he finished speaking, the beautiful woman became excited, with a fiery light flashing in her eyes. He slammed the table and shouted, "Fuck him, let the new recruit see blood too!"

"By the way, we will overthrow the puppet government, and then we will station squads in the village to wipe out traitors, bandits, gangs, and secret societies." Bo Guangbai's voice came from the door, and his figure appeared in everyone's sight.

The two men were immediately cheered up when they heard this. They quickly stood up and said, "Yes, Captain."

The stray dog ​​walked into the room and said with a look of disgust: "No need, I killed those three devils, they were all rookies, and one of them was only seventeen years old."

Bo Guangbai looked at the stray dog ​​with some curiosity and asked, "Lao Xu, didn't you go to Boxing?"

The stray dog ​​that had escaped from its reins said with a gloomy face: "Damn it, we didn't see the Japs in Boxing, but we saw the stubborn army."

"Damn it, Lao Xu, did you meet Zhou Shengfang?" Bo Guangbai asked.

"Mr. Bai, how did you know that?" the stray dog ​​asked with some confusion.

Bo Guangbai said fiercely: "Damn it, my great grandfather was killed by this son of a bitch."

The sponge baby who just walked in said in confusion: "Damn it, I think I saw my grandpa."

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

There were sudden exclamations of "Wow" in the room, and everyone gathered around the sponge baby in amazement, as if they were observing a rare animal.

Baby Sponge said in a daze: "I thought this morning that since we are here, I should go back to my hometown to see what our village was like a hundred years ago. When I entered the village, I saw someone getting married. I asked others what the names of the people getting married were, and it turned out that their names were exactly the same as my grandparents'."

Seeing everyone eager to try, Bo Guangbai hurriedly said: "After the county is liberated, there will be plenty of time for you to find your relatives. Now assemble the troops to liberate Huimin area!"

"Yes!"
