He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

The officers exchanged bewildered glances. To be honest, aside from this battle, Le Weiguo had never fought against any of their other units.

From a public opinion standpoint, it's not bad. This blunder caused losses on both sides, and it remains to be seen whether they will hold a grudge afterward.

Upon hearing the news, the instructor, who was far away, couldn't help but nod in approval:

"A tiger general paired with a tiger army, courage abounds."

Meanwhile, Leyou's side had also completed its military preparations and arrived near Qiao's mother.

The officers also gathered inside the main tent to discuss the battle plan.

As the terrain map was continuously simulated, Leyou finally issued the combat orders.

Two regiments were left to capture Qiaomu City, and then hold the city to intercept the Su Xiong Kingdom's reinforcements coming from the north.

The other units advanced south in two columns to directly eliminate the enemy along the way and then head straight for Hifumi.

After receiving a telegram from Chen Sibu requesting reinforcements the following night, the Independent Division also began to fight in three directions.

……

"Sir, General Wei and other officers have sent a telegram,"

Leyou also checked the telegram from the communications soldier.

"Sigh, my unit, including Chen Si's original force, now numbers over 20,000. How can we possibly all retreat to the United States? I also can't abandon them. However, we still need to find a way to rescue our captured soldiers in Southeast Asia and other surrounding areas."

He then ordered that the area along the route not be completely cleared out, and that a full-scale attack be launched against Hai Shenwei.

Another telegram stated that the Great Eagle's warships would transport troops after the 15th.

The following day, Leyou and his troops were ambushed by the Su Xiong Kingdom's forces.

However, with mortar shells raining down on the ground, the ambush was defeated within half a day.

Nothing happened on the third day.

The fourth and fourth are without incident.

On the fifth day, the Leiyou Department encountered the search team sent by Chen Si. After ascertaining the situation, the combat troops were all lightly equipped and ready for action.

They were also in a hurry and marched south.

At midnight, the two sides engaged in a skirmish.

Meanwhile, the exhausted Chen Si troops heard the sound of intense gunfire and artillery fire in the distance.

They all excitedly got up from the ground and shouted:

"Is it reinforcements? Has General Yue's support arrived?"

Chen Si, his head wrapped in white and red bandages, smoked a cigarette with a somber expression. According to the telegram's schedule, reinforcements should arrive at least by noon tomorrow. The fact that they were arriving more than five hours early was likely an enemy trick. But then he thought about how his troops were out of food and had been fighting on empty stomachs all day.

Sigh, we have no choice but to take a gamble, a do-or-die battle. If it really is reinforcements, then we can attack from both sides.

Then he turned back and nodded slightly to the communications soldier.

The communications soldier hesitated for a moment, then quickly wrote a few words on a piece of paper and shouted:

"General Yue's telegram, General Yue's telegram"

Chen Si pretended to stand up, snatched it away, and then burst into laughter, saying:

"Brothers, reinforcements have arrived! Everyone, fight back and avenge our fallen brothers!"

He then picked up his submachine gun and charged out of the bombed-out house toward the enemy.

Other officers followed closely behind, guns in hand. The soldiers excitedly scrambled to their feet, yelling as they charged out of their cover.

"Da da da"

"Da da da"

Leyou was utterly astonished to see the soldiers charging at the front, armed only with hammers, sickles, and benches, and who were not armed at all.

Throughout the series, every firefight has encountered this type of person: if you kill them, their teammates' morale soars; if they kill you, their teammates' morale also rises.

Without much thought, he raised his blood-red nine-ringed broadsword and charged forward, killing one enemy with each strike. Soon, his military uniform was also discolored.

With his face covered in blood, his eyes bloodshot, and the blood-red broadsword in hand, he was nothing short of a demon.

Hearing Chen Si's angry roar, he happily shouted back:

"All troops, launch an attack! Welcome our brothers home! Kill them all!"

The signal corps soldiers, engineers, and others who arrived later also released their safety harnesses, grabbed their rifles, and began their charge.

The logistics personnel, following closely behind, also rushed forward with guns drawn.

Upon hearing Leyou's voice, Chen Si opened his mouth wide in excitement, trying desperately to speak, but no sound came out.

Two narrow white marks appeared on his dark face, emitting wisps of steam.

"It's General Yue, it's General Yue's voice!"

"Go ahead"

"General Yue has come to our rescue! Charge!"

……

After being attacked from both sides, the Su Xiong Kingdom's troops suffered heavy losses and began to flee two hours later. Le You and his men pursued them for five miles before stopping to clean up the battlefield and take stock of the casualties.

"Brother, I'm so sorry."

"woohoo"

Looking at Chen Si kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, and then at the rows of kneeling soldiers behind him, Le You couldn't help but feel tears welling up in her eyes as well.

Shout loudly:

"Get up, all of you!"

"I'm sorry, but you're all great. You've shown the indomitable spirit of our Great Xia."

"Our fallen brothers fulfilled their duty as soldiers. This is an honor, and I am proud of you."

"After you eat, get some rest, and then I'll take you home."

The more than three thousand wounded soldiers, kneeling on the ground, grasped each other with trembling hands and wept:

"go home……"

"Come back home"

"woohoo"

Leyou grabbed Chen Si and gave him a tight hug, looking at the tearful man with red and swollen eyes, and said:

"Ah Si, people always die in war, and besides, we won. Don't act like a daughter; I don't blame you."

"But brother, more than seven thousand brothers sacrificed their lives this time. If I had been more vigilant, this wouldn't have happened."

Leyou stroked Chen Si's messy, dry hair and said:

"Ah Si, when I first met you, you were ruthless and didn't value human life. Now you're so sentimental. I've been like you before."

"However, the brothers who sacrificed their lives did so for the greater good. We are soldiers of the People's Liberation Army. Saving our fellow villagers, protecting our Great Xia, and defending our homeland is our duty as soldiers. Our honor as soldiers does not allow us to be weak. Generals die in a hundred battles, and brave soldiers return after ten years."

……

The City Lord's Mansion of Sijiu City

"shoot"

"They're all useless. Giving them so much intelligence was pointless. They deserve to die."

The city magistrate angrily threw down his calligraphy brush and roared.

Zhifu, standing to the side, was also savoring the taste of Madam Huang's food. Looking at the angry city magistrate, he smacked his lips and said:

"Father, don't be angry. I've received some information. A certain organization in Su Xiong Country has sent a female spy, named something like Sha, whose target is Le Weiguo."

"And according to news from the concession area near Huangjie Beach, it seems the general of Hongxianglu Port hired soldiers who either worked through the winter or the summer to assassinate Le Weiguo,"

The city chief also sighed and said:

"Let's hope it succeeds. Otherwise, if he wins and comes back, and finds out we leaked the information, given his personality, we'll likely never see the light of day again."

Zhifu nodded in agreement, and after a moment he added:

"Father, isn't there some woman named Fangzi who's going to be executed in the city? Why don't we go and get on the good side of the general who's coming over?"

After hearing this, the city magistrate hesitated and shook his head, saying:

"You may not know that woman. She was a Manchu, not a Japanese. The people who came executed her and then left. Officially, bringing down Le Weiguo still requires orders from above."
