Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

The third battalion position

Xie Kangshi looked at the blood-stained Zhang Baiquan, with a flash of worry in his eyes. He hurried forward to support Zhang Baiquan, with a hint of urgency in his voice: "Baiquan, how are you? The second battalion just sent a message that they encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese on their way to support us, and they can't attack now."

Zhang Baiquan was panting heavily, his face was covered in blood. He frowned and said, "Damn it, this is really weird, Old Xie. We are only seven or eight kilometers away from the Second Battalion. How come so many devils suddenly appeared between our two battalions?"

Xie Kangshi was also confused and full of doubts. Although the position of the Second Regiment was conspicuous, the Third Battalion had set up a herringbone defense. According to common sense, the Japanese should prioritize attacking the more prominent First Battalion, rather than the Second and Third Battalions.

Zhang Baiquan pondered for a moment and analyzed: "The three battalions have different focuses. The first battalion is a combined battalion, the second battalion has more heavy artillery and less infantry, and our third battalion is a mechanized infantry battalion. Why did the devils choose to attack our third battalion?"

Thinking of the Second Battalion, which had a strong offensive capability, suddenly stagnated, Zhang Baiquan slapped his thigh and said in surprise: "Oh no, damn it, these devils must want to eat up the Second Battalion first, and then come back to deal with our Third Battalion. Old Xie, we must quickly notify the Second Battalion to be careful and guard against it. At the same time, we must also prepare to eat up this enemy in front of us, otherwise if the devil's reinforcements arrive, our two battalions will really be caught in the jar."

"Okay, I'll go and notify them right away." Xie Kangshi took action immediately.

Second Battalion Position

Wang Zhihui looked at the Japanese positions that were blown into a sea of ​​fire in front of him, frowning, and said to Deng Wu beside him: "Old Deng, this is the third batch, right? What on earth do these Japanese want to do? Aren't they afraid of death?"

Deng Wu looked at the Japanese positions that had been plowed by artillery shells, and his heart was full of doubts: "It's really strange. Every time we bombarded, the Japanese could quickly replenish them, as if their lives were worthless."

The battalion clerk hurried over and reported: "Battalion Commander, Battalion Commander Zhang wants to speak to you."

Wang Zhihui took the headset and said jokingly, "I guess Lao Zhang must be cursing his mother right now."

After that, Wang Zhihui put on his headphones and asked, "I'm Wang Zhihui, Lao Zhang, how is the situation over there?"

"Lao Wang, I think this wave of Japanese invaders may be targeting our two battalions." Zhang Baiquan's voice revealed a hint of solemnity.

Wang Zhihui asked in confusion: "Aren't you surrounded by the devils? How could they deal with our two battalions at the same time?"

"The previous intelligence must be wrong. The Japanese commander this time is no ordinary man. We were surrounded by several Japanese battalions while fighting. They are fighting and infiltrating at the same time. You have to be careful." Zhang Baiquan's warning made Wang Zhihui's heart tighten.

Wang Zhihui suddenly realized that he had left two heavy artillery companies behind when he led the charge. He quickly said to Deng Wu, "Old Deng, quickly take an infantry company to support the heavy artillery company."

Deng Wu also knew that the distance between the heavy artillery company and the infantry company was too large, so he immediately called an infantry company to go to the artillery position.

Armored Combined Brigade 2 Mechanized Infantry Regiment Position

Qin Shaochong, the commander of the mechanized infantry regiment, watched the continuous stream of reinforcements with cold eyes and said with disdain, "These devils are so bold. They want to eat us up just by relying on their numerical advantage? It's simply wishful thinking."

The regiment political commissar Zhao Rui carefully observed the movements of the devils and analyzed: "Old Qin, have you noticed that these devils actually want to eat us?"

Qin Shaochong noticed that the Japanese attacked the weak points of the mechanized infantry regiment many times, trying to divide and surround the entire mechanized infantry regiment. He said in a deep voice: "I have called for air force support, they will arrive soon to provide us with fire cover. The tank regiment is thirty miles away from us, and will launch an attack from the Japanese flank in about half an hour."

Zhao Rui felt relieved when he heard that the Air Force was about to take off for support. The combat effectiveness of the armored combined brigade lies in its synthesis, including multiple components such as the mechanized infantry regiment, heavy artillery regiment, tank regiment, mountain artillery regiment and flight regiment.

However, the mechanized infantry regiment only had 5,000 people, and although it had not been completely cut off by the Japanese at this moment, several connecting points had become weak. The mechanized infantry regiment hastily switched from movement to positional warfare, and the defense line was stretched too long. The Japanese seized this point and attacked these connecting points fiercely.

Qin Shaochong picked up the headset and called out anxiously: "I am Qin Shaochong, if the tank regiment hears you, please answer!"

"This is the tank regiment. Please hold your positions. The First Brigade is ready to airdrop a special forces brigade to your position. Hold on!" The voice of the tank regiment commander Wang Wu came through the headset.

Qin Shaochong frowned and said, "We can only hold out for an hour at most. The Japanese have organized several waves of attacks with thousands of people. Our regiment has less than 5,000 people. It is really difficult to defend a two-kilometer front."

"Lao Qin, you must hold on. There is a large group of enemies in front of our tank regiment who are relying on the terrain to block us. We are attacking and advancing." Wang Wu's voice was firm and powerful.

Qin Shaochong put down his headphones, stared at the Japanese who were constantly attacking the position, and said to Zhao Rui: "Old Zhao, we must shrink our position. With such a long line of defense, if the Japanese launch a crazy attack, we are likely to make mistakes."

Zhao Rui nodded in agreement: "Once the air force arrives, I will have the first and third battalions quickly move to the center while the air force is suppressing fire."

While the two were discussing, a formation of air force bombers had already flown over the battlefield. As soon as the bombers reached the top of the enemy's position, they began to drop bombs. A large number of bombs fell like raindrops, bombing the enemy's position into a mess.

As soon as the bomber formation passed behind the Japanese, the anti-aircraft firepower on the ground opened fire to fight back. However, Falcon looked at the sparse anti-aircraft firepower on the ground with a hint of disdain. With his superb flying skills, he led the bomber formation to drop bombs over the large Japanese army and then flew away.

The Japanese soldiers on the ground watched the armored brigade's bomber formation sail away, and many surviving Japanese soldiers cheered loudly, thinking that they had driven away the planes in the sky.

Crouching in the Japanese command post in the dense forest, Wudeno stared at Shinozuka Yoshio who was sitting opposite him with an unpleasant expression.

Shinozuka Yoshio took a sip of the tea slowly, then said calmly, "Mai-kun, you should have followed my advice and attacked this army from all directions instead of just attacking one side."

Maiden bowed his head to Shinozuka Yoshio and asked, "Commander-in-chief, I would like tactical guidance."

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio knew that Mai Den'nan had already given in. He knew that now was not the time to make a fuss, so he analyzed, "This unit has a limited number of people. The 233th Division caught the enemy off guard before. The enemy's front line was too long, and the enemy's firepower advantage was not brought into play. Now the enemy has successfully contracted its defense line under the cover of the Air Force, and their artillery has probably been deployed. Mai Jun, order the rd Infantry Regiment and two Imperial Army Guard Regiments stationed on our flank to go around the enemy's rear and launch an attack. Let the rest of our warriors reorganize the troops and launch an attack on the enemy's position as an infantry battalion."
