Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 209 Capturing Chu Yunfei Alive

Seeing Li Yunlong's hesitant expression, Wang Gensheng immediately added fuel to the fire, saying:
"What's wrong? The bigger you get, the less courage you have! Back in the day, Lao Li, you dared to lead a regiment of less than a thousand men to face off against a Japanese brigade of more than three thousand men head-on, and you even killed the regimental commander Sakata, making a name for yourself. How come you're scared now that you've met Chu Yunfei, who's being chased by the Japanese!"

However, Li Yunlong remained unmoved by Wang Gensheng's provocation and said:

"Can these two be compared? Back then, that old bastard Sakata was asking for trouble by setting up the regimental command post in such an obvious place. If we didn't attack, wouldn't it be a waste of such a good opportunity? To be honest, if Chu Yunfei were to set up his command post in a place where I could reach it with my artillery, and I could blow up Chu Yunfei's command post with one shot, then I would definitely dare to charge!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Gensheng immediately laughed:
"Old Li, you mean that as long as you can take down Chu Yunfei's command post, you'd dare to lead over ten thousand men from the Two Lions to charge and fight Chu Yunfei's eighty-nine Lions!"

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement with Wang Gensheng's words.

"Of course! If a unit's command system is destroyed, it's like a piece of meat right in front of you. To be honest, if I had a guerrilla unit back then, or if the 772nd and 771st Regiments could cooperate with me and follow my command, I wouldn't have thought about breaking through head-on. I would have just surrounded them from the front and swallowed the entire Sakata Regiment whole!"

Wang Gensheng agreed with Li Yunlong's words. If the 772nd and 771st Regiments had cooperated with Li Yunlong back then, and after Li Yunlong took down the command of the Sakata Regiment with one shot, they could have assisted Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment in flanking from both sides. In that case, the Sakata Regiment, which had lost its command and was in chaos, might have really been swallowed up by the three regiments.

After all, although Li Yunlong's New First Regiment only had a little over a thousand people at that time, the 772nd and 771st Regiments had a total of over two thousand people!
With the addition of the new 1st Regiment's more than 1,000 men, the combined force of five or six thousand men could easily overwhelm the Sakata Regiment, which had lost its command and was in chaos, and numbered only three thousand or so.

Wang Gensheng wanted to hear Li Yunlong say those words, so he immediately said to Li Yunlong:
"Old Li, if I help you take down Chu Yunfei's command post, would you dare to lead your two lions and charge forward?"

"If you can take them down, I'll go for it and work with you to wipe out Chu Yunfei's eighty-nine lions in one fell swoop! Let Lao Jing see that his elite lions are nothing in front of me, Lao Li!"

After receiving Li Yunlong's affirmative answer, Wang Gensheng beckoned and then asked Du Yiman, who was approaching:
"Du Yiman, how's it going? Has the command position for the Eighty-Nine Lions been confirmed?"

Du Yiman then pointed to the map and said:
"After multiple confirmations, this is the location, because only this location has a high-powered radio, which should have been used by the Eighty-Nine Lions to communicate with the Corps Command!"

Wang Gensheng looked at the spot Du Yiman was pointing to and immediately laughed:

"Old Li, look at Chu Yunfei, he's really afraid of death! He actually set up the Lion Command in such a far rear area, is he afraid you'll launch a frontal attack and behead him?"

Although this location is far from the point of engagement, it is also close to the rear, so the rear protection is practically nonexistent. Therefore, if Wang Gensheng wants to carry out a decapitation operation, he doesn't even need to charge into battle. He can simply use the speed of the cavalry to circle around for more than ten kilometers and then launch a surprise attack from the flank and rear, which would easily reach the command post.

However, Li Yunlong looked at Du Yiman, then at Wang Gensheng, and immediately exclaimed in surprise:
"No, how did you know that Chu Yunfei's command post was in this location? Does Chu Yunfei's Eighty-Nine Lions also have spies?"

Seeing Li Yunlong's curious expression, Wang Gensheng immediately smiled and said:
"This is called radio positioning technology. It uses the angle deviation of radio reception and the principle of triangulation to deduce the exact location of the radio station! This technology was obtained from Yoshio Shinotsuka, Yamamoto Ichiki's superior, during the War of Resistance against Japan!"

"No wonder! No wonder that old bastard Yamamoto could always pinpoint the exact location of the command post so accurately back then! It was all because of the radio!" Wang Gensheng, seeing Li Yunlong's sudden realization, had no patience to continue arguing with him and immediately said:
"Alright, we'll discuss the specifics later. It's already dark. Get your troops ready for battle and wait for my signal. Once I give the signal, it means the decapitation strike was successful. You must immediately lead your tens of thousands of men from the Two Lions and rush over to wipe them out while they're in disarray!"

So when Wang Gensheng saw Li Yunlong agree so readily, he didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately took advantage of the darkness and led a thousand-strong assault team to take a detour. The area covered by the tens of thousands of troops was still quite large.

So to avoid being discovered, Wang Gensheng led the assault team on horseback, taking a twenty-kilometer detour before getting behind Chu Yunfei, followed by a massive charge.

The Lion's Den responsible for protecting Chu Yunfei was his personal guard company. Although these guard companies were equipped with submachine guns, Wang Gensheng, who was wearing full armor, was least afraid of submachine guns.

Wang Gensheng, wielding an M2 heavy machine gun, charged ahead and unleashed a barrage of fire, instantly turning the guards into carnage.

A thousand elite special forces soldiers against a hundred or so ordinary elite soldiers—that was an overwhelming advantage. With superior manpower and firepower, Chu Yunfei didn't even have time to escape before Wang Gensheng subdued him.

Despite Chu Yunfei's tall stature and imposing appearance, he was still lifted up like a chick by Wang Gensheng.

After capturing Chu Yunfei, Wang Gensheng said to him:

"My Lord Chu Lion, quickly order a surrender! Stop making futile resistance!"

However, although Chu Yunfei recognized the voice somewhat, Wang Gensheng was wearing a bulletproof mask, so he couldn't see his face clearly. Therefore, he said:
"That voice sounds so familiar! But if you think that capturing me, the Lion Chief, will allow you to order tens of thousands of troops to surrender, you're oversimplifying war and surrender!"

However, Wang Gensheng said without any concern:

"Whether it works or not is none of your concern, Chief Chu. Just give the order! Don't force me to use force!"

After saying that, Wang Gensheng picked up the walkie-talkie on the table, which looked like an enlarged version of a mobile phone, and handed it to Chu Yunfei.

That's right, the military equipment that Chu Yunfei obtained naturally included walkie-talkies, which were much more useful than radios on the battlefield.

Radio stations also need to send and translate telegrams, which, although encrypted, is very cumbersome. Walkie-talkies, on the other hand, are different; they allow for voice communication like walkie-talkies.
