Sword of Light: I Can Summon the Fourth Disaster

Pi Ri Zhan Yue glanced at the scattered Japanese soldiers in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The 3rd Regiment marched lightly to Shimen. The largest weapon they brought was a large-caliber mortar. The equipment of the Japanese soldiers in front of them who were being chased and fled in disarray was even more simple, and there were not even a few machine guns.

Pi Ri Zhan Yue watched the Japanese soldiers enter the ambush position one after another, and said to Xiao Sun beside him: "Xiao Sun, tell the battalions not to fire all at once, but to attack in battalion units one by one."

Xiao Sun nodded and began to send telegrams to several battalions. The large forces of the Yamada Detachment's devils had arrived one after another. Fat Ling watched the devils enter the stone gate one after another, and looked at the firepower team leader beside him with some concern, and asked: "Old Cannon, we didn't bring the large-caliber howitzer this time. Will the firepower be insufficient?"

Pao Huo Lian Tian said to him with some amusement: "I say, Third Battalion Commander, just put your mind at ease. The caliber of the mortars we brought this time is as high as 150mm, so just put your mind at ease."

While the two were chatting, the signalman came over and reported, "Battalion Commander, the regiment sent the attack sequence. The first battalion will attack first, the second battalion will take over, the regiment will take over, and the third battalion will be the general reserve."

Fat Ling got angry when he heard this, threw his helmet to the ground, and said angrily: "Why should we let the third battalion be the general reserve? His first and second battalions were raised by their biological mothers, and our third battalion was raised by a stepmother."

The gunfire rushed to appease the angry Fatty Ling, and said with a smile: "Old Fatty, don't worry. There are more than 2 devils in this group, and there will always be a chance for you to fight. Now our task is to delay them. The third battalion will definitely go up, so don't worry."

After hearing the analysis of the continuous bombardment, Pang Ling's anger subsided a little. He lit a cigarette angrily, then squatted on the ground and smoked.

On the First Battalion side, He Fang Xiaoxian looked at the vanguard of the Japanese troops slowly approaching the ambush circle, squinting at the rifles on these Japanese soldiers, and seemed a little hesitant. He tremblingly lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then asked the signalman to send a telegram to the Third Brigade to ask where the Third Brigade was.

After the signalman sent the message, he immediately reported: "Battalion Commander, the 20th Regiment of the rd Brigade is less than miles away from Shimen."

He Fang Xiaoxian looked at the Japanese soldiers who were resting against the wall, put out the cigarette in his hand, and said with some emotion: "I originally wanted you to survive for a while, but I didn't expect that God didn't give you a chance."

"Artillery? I'm the battalion commander. Now I order the artillery to fire at the stone gate!"

At He Fang Xiaoxian's command, a large number of mortar shells fell into the stone gate. The two Japanese battalions that rushed into the Shimen stronghold first had no time to react before the shells exploded next to them.

He Fang Xiaoxian narrowed his eyes and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were standing there waiting to be bombed, and said with a smile: "I don't know how long the Second Brigade has been chasing them. Why do they look like they haven't eaten?"

Yamada Sakaji, who was at the rear of the Yamada Detachment, looked at the exploded Shimen stronghold with a telescope and said to the captains beside him with a look of disdain: "Arrogant enemies are often the easiest to defeat. The 5th and 7th Infantry Battalions have already attracted the enemy's artillery fire. Now the 3rd and 4th Infantry Battalions will immediately attack the enemy's artillery positions along the foothills."

"Hai!"

Following Yamada's arrangement, the Japanese divided their troops into sparse groups. Except for the two infantry battalions that attacked the third regiment's position, the remaining three infantry battalions went to support the fifth and seventh infantry battalions in the Shimen stronghold.

Pi Ri Zhan Yue saw the Japanese soldiers splitting up through the telescope and said with a smile, "This Japanese soldier is obviously too confident. He dares to split up his troops when fighting against our column."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Sun who was cleaning his gun nearby, and a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Sun, are you interested in taking the guard company to fight those devils?"

Xiao Sun nodded, unloaded the radio, picked up his rifle and ran to the guard company, shouting: "Guard company, follow me, let's go and stab the enemy."

As both sides deployed their troops, the battle situation in the field suddenly became tense. The Hihizhan Yuejian Yamada Detachment deployed all seven infantry battalions, knowing that a stepped blocking would only increase casualties, so it would be better to fight the devils head-on and then divide and eat them.

Fat Ling looked at the 3rd Infantry Battalion of the Yamada Detachment in front of him, and then at the 4th Infantry Battalion that had been pinned down by the 2nd Battalion. He suddenly opened fire with the submachine gun in his hand. Suddenly, gunshots rang out one after another on the position of the 3rd Battalion, and the 3rd Infantry Battalion was caught off guard.

Yamada looked at his seven infantry battalions all caught up in the battle, and immediately said to the signalman beside him: "Hurry up and contact His Excellency the commander of the Kuroiwa Division. My Yamada detachment was ambushed by the enemy's main force and is now suffering heavy losses. Please provide guidance."

...

Behind the stone gate, Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu received the telegram from Yamada Saeji and heard the gunshots coming from the rear. He suddenly felt a headache and said to the signalman who delivered the telegram, "Has it been impossible to contact Commander Shinozuka?"

The signalman said: "Since last night, our unit has lost contact with Taiyuan. The enemy has disrupted the signal in this area. We are now isolated."

Hearing this, Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu suddenly had a terrible headache. In this case, he could only abandon some of the deer and first break through the enemy at the stone gate. He immediately ordered: "Order the First Infantry Battalion to resist the enemy chasing from the rear, and the rest of the troops to support the stone gate and break through the enemy in front."

Before the messenger could pass the message, the 5th Regiment in the rear had already broken through the blocking Japanese troops. Seeing that the rear had begun to collapse, Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu hurriedly shouted, "Turn around! Turn around!"

The Japanese began to move towards Shimen. Zhang Kangnian led the Fifth Regiment to chase and beat the Japanese. Seeing the ferocious soldiers of the Fifth Regiment, many Japanese threw their weapons aside and lay on the ground in surrender.

Zhang Kangnian's face suddenly darkened as he looked at the surrendering Japanese soldiers. He had fought with a group of them for a whole day and night, and his entire regiment was almost disbanded by his superiors.

Here, Zhang Kangnian could only stop to collect the prisoners and send a part of his troops to continue the pursuit. On the other side, the vanguard of the Third Brigade happened to encounter Heiyan Yoshikatsu who was fleeing in a hurry.

Hualuozhanshen led the Seventh Regiment to penetrate the flank of Shimen, and happened to run into Heiyan Yisheng who was riding a horse to escape. Hualuozhanshen said curiously: "How come there is a Japanese lieutenant general riding a donkey?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard company behind him opened fire. Heiyan Yoshikatsu was unable to dodge and was knocked off his horse. The Seventh Regiment behind Hualuozhanshen charged forward one after another and began to intersperse and divide this group of Japanese devils.

Xiyang County

Zhan Loulan was looking at the information sent by various departments, his brows furrowed as he stared at the direction of Shouyang. Suddenly, the leader of the White Banner, Falansi, rushed in and said to Zhan Loulan anxiously, "Old He, it's bad. Ye Lisan just wrote a letter saying that the entire military corps was wiped out!"
