Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

At the Cangyunling position, the air was filled with smoke and artillery fire.

The Japanese soldiers of the Sakata Regiment launched wave after wave of attacks frantically.

At the headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army not far away, the commander of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei, and his staff officers quickly arrived at the front line.

Chu Yunfei held the telescope tightly and stared into the distance. There was the Cangyun Ridge filled with smoke.

Through the lens of the telescope, he clearly saw the Japanese troops frantically attacking the Eighth Route Army's positions.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were not afraid. They resisted bravely, repelling the Japs' attacks time and time again.

Chu Yunfei put down the telescope, then turned to the Chief of Staff Fang Ligong and said:

"Ligong, do you know which unit of the Japanese army is attacking Cangyunling?"

"Commander, according to intelligence, the Japanese troops attacking Cangyun Ridge are from the Sakata Regiment of the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade."

When Chu Yunfei heard Fang Ligong's words, his heart was shocked.

"It turned out to be the Sakata Regiment. This time, the Eighth Route Army in Cangyun Ridge is in great danger."

Fang Ligong said, "Yes, Commander. As the elite force of the Japanese devils, the Sakata Regiment is indeed very powerful. They once successfully defeated a division of the National Army with only one regiment."

"Chief of Staff, do you think we can provide support to this Eighth Route Army unit? Even artillery support would be fine."

When Fang Ligong heard this, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Commander, you should think twice. The attitude of the higher-ups towards the Eighth Route Army is very unfriendly. If you support the Eighth Route Army at this time, it may be detrimental to your future career."

After hearing this, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but feel helpless and sad.

He understood that Fang Ligong's concerns were not unreasonable, but he also knew that as a soldier, his duty was to defend his country, not to compromise for the sake of his career.

However, what can he do in this complex and changing situation?

"Let's go, Ligong. There's nothing to see here. The Eighth Route Army in Cangyunling...I'm afraid they will really be wiped out by the Sakata Unit."

…………

On the battlefield of Cangyun Ridge.

Just as the New 1st Regiment launched a fierce counterattack and engaged in a fierce battle with the Sakata Regiment of the Japanese Army, a new force quietly emerged.

From the direction of Lijiazhuang, a team of nearly 1000 people quickly approached the outskirts of Cangyunling. They were soldiers from the Ping'an County Brigade led by Gaoda himself.

Gundam stood on a small hill, raised a telescope, and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield.

He saw the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, under the command of Zhang Dabiao, charging at the Japanese army.

Under their fierce attack, the Japanese positions were pushed forward step by step, and the positions of the New 1st Regiment had advanced several hundred meters.

In his memory, this battle will have an important turning point - Zhuzi will destroy Sakata's command post with one shot, bringing decisive changes to the entire battle situation.

Therefore, Gundam decided to take a bold action.

He planned to lead the soldiers of the county brigade to quietly go around to a position 1 kilometer behind the Sakata Regiment Command Post, ready to wait there for the crucial blow from the pillar.

After Zhuzi destroyed Sakata's command post, he led the soldiers of the county brigade to attack the Japanese.

Taking advantage of the Japanese's confusion, they tore through their outer defense line and rescued Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment.

Gaoda, leading the county brigade, had just arrived behind the Japanese.

He heard the sound of artillery shells flying in the sky, and he knew that Zhuzi's first shell did not hit the command post of the Japanese Sakata Regiment.

So he picked up the telescope and looked towards Sakata's headquarters, waiting for the second shell from the Pillar.

However, when the whistling sound of the second shell sounded again, Gundam was surprised to find that the shell did not hit Sakata's command post as he expected, but deviated from the target and hit the hill next to it hard.

This scene shocked Gundam so much that he widened his eyes and could hardly believe his eyes.

"What happened? Has the plot been changed?"

He immediately thought that the plot might have changed because he had come to this world.

"Since Zhuzi failed to destroy Sakata's command post, the honor now falls to our county brigade!"

Gundam gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He turned around quickly and shouted to Li Dazhu next to him:

"Dazhu, immediately set up the guns and aim them at the Japanese headquarters ahead. Bomb them hard!"

"Mount up all the ten infantry guns we brought. I don't believe that this little devil Sakata Nobutsu is so tough that 10 shells won't kill him!"

"Yes, Captain."

After receiving Gaoda's order, Li Dazhu turned to the artillery position and issued the order without any hesitation:

"All gunners, get ready! Target - the enemy headquarters ahead. Open your eyes wide and aim and shoot!"

The artillerymen moved upon hearing the sound. They quickly pushed the infantry gun to the front of the position, and the muzzle was aimed at the Japanese command post in the distance like the fangs of a beast.

The gunner quickly adjusted the angle and direction of the muzzle to ensure that every shell could fly accurately to the target.

The preparations went on in an orderly manner. The artillerymen skillfully took out shells from the shell boxes next to them and loaded them into the gun barrels.

After loading, the gunners held the gun ropes tightly in their hands, waiting for the order to fire.

Li Dazhu looked at the gunners who were ready and shouted:

"fire!"

Following his order, the gunners pulled the gun cords in their hands at the same time.

There was a loud "bang" and ten infantry guns fired at the same time, the sound was deafening.

Ten shells whizzed towards the command post of the Japanese soldier Nobutsu Sakata like angry fire dragons.

Nobutsu Sakata, who was in the command post, suddenly heard a violent whistling sound coming from the sky, and he immediately realized that danger was approaching.

His face changed drastically and he shouted loudly:

"Take cover! There are shells!"

The adjutant beside him also realized the urgency of the situation. He immediately threw himself on Sakata and tried to protect him with his body.

Before Nobutsu Sakata finished his words, a shell came down like thunder and hit his command post accurately.

In an instant, a deafening explosion sounded, and the entire command post collapsed into ruins.

Amid the smoke, the original command post has now turned into rubble.

Although Sakata Nobutsu's adjutant tried his best to protect him, all efforts seemed futile in the face of such fierce artillery fire.

As the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, a huge crater appeared on the ground, which was the mark of the artillery bombardment.

And Nobutsu Sakata was blown into the sky by the impact of the shell.

He tumbled in the air like a helpless fallen leaf, and finally fell heavily to the ground.

Under the impact of the explosion, Nobutsu Sakata's body suffered fatal blows.

Nobutsu Sakata, the once invincible Japanese commander, ended his sinful life in the artillery fire.
