Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 201 Radio Positioning

As Wang Gensheng had predicted, after the Fourth Field Army concentrated its forces to deal with Jinzhou, it directly surrounded Liao's army group before Liao could retreat towards Liaoshen.

Meanwhile, Wang Gensheng led a thousand men toward Liao Bingtuan's location, leaving only a thousand men to guard the house. Although there were still more than five hundred men who had just surrendered on the Congqing, Wang Gensheng was not afraid at all, because the captain of the Congqing, Deng Zhaoxiang, was one of his own, originally a comrade of the Communist Party. Therefore, he did not need to worry too much about the soldiers on the Congqing turning against him.

With two horses, even though the distance was over a thousand miles, Wang Gensheng arrived at the outskirts of Liao Bingtuan in just three days.

When Wang Gensheng arrived at the outskirts, the report he received was that more than 300,000 soldiers of the Fourth Field Army had already clashed with nearly 200,000 soldiers of Liao's Corps.

Anyway, there are only over 500,000 soldiers fighting haphazardly in this tiny area, without any positions, front or rear, and sometimes even the enemy behind them isn't their own.

However, this also had its advantages, namely that they wouldn't have to endure artillery bombardment. After all, to be honest, Liao's artillery was still stronger than that of the Jiefang Army.

Wang Gensheng did not launch a rash attack. After all, although the thousand men he led were considered elite, they were just a drop in the ocean when they entered a battlefield of 500,000 people.

It wouldn't be of much use, and since he was here to carry out a decapitation strike, determining the location of Liao Bingtuan's command post was the most important thing. Therefore, Wang Gensheng immediately asked Du Yiman:

"So, have you located Liao Bingtuan's command radio station?"

Du Yiman, who was prepared, pointed to the map and said:
“We used triangulation to discover multiple radio stations, among which the radio signal from Hujiawopeng was the strongest, so this is very likely the command post of Liao Bingtuan!”

Wang Gensheng looked at the Hu family's shack, then confirmed his location. It was only sixty li, or thirty kilometers. His cavalry, one man on two horses, could cover the distance in thirty or forty minutes at most with a single charge. So Wang Gensheng immediately said without hesitation:

"Duan Peng, relay my order: the assault team is to prepare. The entire assault team will depart in three minutes, without resting en route. Change horses immediately, but not riders! Also, do not linger in battle. Head straight for Hujiawopeng!"

Following Wang Gensheng's order, the entire assault team of one thousand men and two thousand horses began their charge. The reason Wang Gensheng decided to head straight for Hujiawopeng was, of course, because in the storyline of the final battle, Liao Bingtuan's command post was located in Hujiawopeng.

Then, unfortunately, a group of men led by Li Dezhang, the deputy battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 21st Regiment of the 7th Lion Army of the Fourth Field Army, managed to sneak into Liao Bingtuan's command post.

However, Li Dezhang's actions were both lucky and unlucky, because he had too few men and could not defeat Liao Bingtuan's guard regiment. In the end, Li Dezhang had no choice but to destroy the radio, forcing Liao Bingtuan's command to send a plaintext telegram.

That's right. The number of guards that each level of command can have is also different. For example, under normal circumstances, a regimental commander will only be equipped with one guard squad.

Of course, some large regiments might have an reinforced platoon or a regimental cavalry company, but in practice, a regimental command would only have a guard platoon.

Then, at the Shi level, the number of guards will be expanded to a platoon, and then at the Lion's Den level, the guards will be equipped with a guard company with more than 100 members.

The military command had even more units, with a guard battalion of three to five hundred men, and then the next level up was the Liao Corps, which had a guard regiment of over a thousand men.

Therefore, the less than one battalion led by Li Dezhang, the deputy battalion commander, was naturally no match for the well-equipped Imperial Guards of Liao's Corps Command.

Just as Wang Gensheng led his assault team this way, Li Dezhang, just like in the story, arrived at Hujiawopeng and saw a large number of vehicles and supplies. One of Li Dezhang's men, Zhang Shunzi, exclaimed in surprise: "My goodness! What is this place? How come there are so many vehicles! Could this be the enemy's logistics base?!"

However, after observing for a while, Li Dezhang said:
"It's not just about having a lot of vehicles and supplies! Look over there, there are so many antennas! If you ask me, this isn't just a lion's den, it's a military den!"

Upon hearing Li Dezhang's words and looking at the large number of soldiers below, Zhang Shunzi immediately became somewhat frightened and said:

"Shall we fight? We only have a few brothers here. How about we wait for the other troops to arrive?"

Upon hearing this, Li Dezhang immediately said:

"Hey! What are we waiting for! The fighting has disrupted everything, where are we going to find anyone? We've stumbled upon such a big fish, let's take him down first!"

However, just as Li Dezhang was about to take action, a soldier ran up behind him and reported:

"Deputy Battalion Commander, we're hearing a lot of horse hooves behind us. Could it be enemy reinforcements coming?"

Li Dezhang was stunned when he heard this. There were a lot of hoofbeats, but before Li Dezhang could react, he could hear the hoofbeats himself. That's right, Wang Gensheng had already arrived on horseback with his special forces assault team.

Looking at the numerous vehicles and soldiers, Wang Gensheng knew that this must be Liao Yaoxiang's command post. Without saying a word, he picked up his M2 heavy machine gun and started firing.

Of course, Wang Gensheng wasn't the only one carrying an M2 heavy machine gun; Duan Peng was also carrying one and starting to fire. At present, it's estimated that only Wang Gensheng and Duan Peng in the entire assault team had the strength to carry an M2 heavy machine gun and start firing.

Of course, if Wei Dayong joins, he should also be able to wield an M2 heavy machine gun and start shooting.

Despite having a large number of transport vehicles, including jeeps with some bulletproof capabilities, Liao's forces were powerless against the firepower of the M2 heavy machine gun.

Of course, Liao Bingtuan's guard regiment was not to be underestimated. They also had a large number of light machine guns and even submachine guns. However, Wang Gensheng's assault team was better equipped. Not only did they also have a large number of light machine guns and submachine guns, but they were also wearing bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, and bulletproof masks.

Therefore, in the fierce firefight, Liao Bingtuan's guard regiment was quickly defeated and routed.

Wang Gensheng, relying on his full armor, charged to the front, using his M2 heavy machine gun to clear out enemy firing positions while shouting loudly:
"Liao Yaoxiang, you're surrounded! Surrender now and stop making a futile struggle!"

Just as Wang Gensheng was shouting, he saw several people wearing military overcoats, especially one wearing glasses. Although it was night and visibility was not very high, Wang Gensheng could recognize him at a glance. This person was Sun Liancheng, or rather, Liao Yaoxiang.

Without saying a word, Wang Gensheng, seeing the direction of their retreat, immediately controlled the heavy machine gun and fired a burst, instantly blowing up the jeep that had just started.
