Sword of Light: Humanoid Self-Propelled Artillery

Chapter 69 Supporting the Independent Regiment

However, Zhao Gang had no choice but to say that the telephone team had been set up in Chenjiayugou, and that Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment and the First Battalion could not be contacted. He also said that even without the First Battalion, the Independent Regiment could still fight well and would defend the safety of the headquarters to the death.

After receiving Zhao Gang's answer, the Lion Chief personally picked up the phone and said to Zhao Gang:
"Zhao Gang, let me tell you, your main mission in Chenjiayu is to guard against sneak attacks from small groups of enemies. Your location is extremely dangerous, so you can't be careless. The lessons learned in Yangcun prove that there is indeed an enemy group skilled in mountain special operations. Li Yunlong and the First Battalion must report any news immediately without delay!"

The Lion Chief had no way of knowing what kind of person Li Yunlong was, so he could only personally explain to Zhao Gang the dangers of the place he was in.

The Lion Commander also felt that something was wrong with the Japanese this time, because although two regiments were dispatched, they did not rush over directly and did not surround them at all. It seemed as if they were trying to put pressure on others.

Therefore, the Lion Commander concluded that the Japanese would send a special forces team to launch a surprise attack. After all, after receiving Li Yunlong's inference report on the last incident in Yang Village, the Lion Commander naturally understood that there was a special force that was eyeing the Eighth Route Army's headquarters and wanted to eliminate the Eighth Route Army's command.

Then the Lion Captain looked at the map and found that all the nearby regiments that could be mobilized had already been mobilized. The only one that was relatively close to the headquarters was the New Second Regiment, which was only a new regiment that had been formed just over a year ago.

And not to mention its combat effectiveness, the distance between it and Chenjiayu is more than 150 kilometers.

At this distance, it was obviously too late. By the time the people from the New Second Regiment arrived, the opportunity would probably have been lost. But then Captain Lion remembered the battle report sent by the New Second Regiment last time.

The battle report said that the cavalry company of the New Second Regiment rushed hundreds of kilometers in one night and completely wiped out an entire battalion of Japanese invaders.

Even later, despite the snow, they still skied hundreds of kilometers to attack the town where the Japanese devils were stationed. In the battle report, Kong Jie also said that the cavalry company trained by Wang Gensheng was not an ordinary cavalry company, but a special cavalry company that was comparable to the special group of Japanese devils who attacked Yangcun, and would specifically target that special group of Japanese devils in the future.

So the Lion Chief who thought of this immediately said to the operator:

"Go, call the New Second Regiment for me. I have a combat mission to issue!"

That’s right, Captain Lion thought that since Kong Jie said that his special cavalry company was used to deal with that special group of Japanese devils, why not transfer them over now to take a look!

Of course, Kong Jie and Wang Gensheng were naturally unaware of the Independent Regiment's semi-disobedience and the Lion Commander's desire to mobilize the New Second Regiment's Cavalry Company for emergency support.

But at this time, Kong Jie and Wang Gensheng were looking at the map at the headquarters of the New Second Regiment!
"Wang Gensheng! What on earth did Li Yunlong do? He actually managed to attract two regiments of Japanese soldiers to rush directly to the Huting stronghold!"

That's right, the 4th and 9th Regiments of the Japanese army passed through the base of Kong Jie's New 2nd Regiment and headed for the Huting stronghold. However, the strength of the two regiments was not enough to stop the New 2nd Regiment.

Therefore, Kong Jie reported the situation as soon as he discovered the two Japanese regiments. Wang Gensheng naturally didn't know what happened in the independent regiment, but the fact that the two regiments were heading to the Huting stronghold naturally made Wang Gensheng, who was familiar with the plot of Bright Sword, think of the second raid of the Yamamoto Special Forces on the main bunker.

Of course, he knew it, but in response to Kong Jie's question, Wang Gensheng still said:

"Captain, no matter what Captain Li did, he couldn't possibly have attracted two regiments of Japs! There are over 20,000 Japs here! How could Li Yunlong possibly be that capable? Of course, no matter what the reason is, our New Second Regiment can't just sit there and watch. How about I take the cavalry company and go take a look, gather some intelligence, or see if there are any opportunities for combat!"

That's right, the reason Wang Gensheng volunteered to go to the Huting stronghold was naturally because he wanted to meet the Yamamoto Special Forces again. After all, the Special Cavalry Company had been training for so long, how could they not use it to fight the Yamamoto Special Forces? Wang Gensheng was tired of always going to fight the Japanese! Wang Gensheng also wanted to get some submachine guns and bulletproof equipment from the Yamamoto Special Forces to set up an all-submachine gun assault team!

However, Kong Jie was worried about Wang Gensheng's initiative.
"But these are two regiments of over 20,000 Japanese soldiers! Your cavalry company of over a hundred men would be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth!"

In response to Kong Jie's concerns, Wang Gensheng waved his hand and said:

"Captain, I'm not going to fight two regiments of Japs head-on. I'm not stupid. I'm just going there to check out the situation. After all, with the speed of the cavalry company, if I can't beat them, can I still run away?"

However, just as Wang Gensheng finished speaking, the telephone at the New Second Regiment headquarters rang. Kong Jie immediately picked up the phone and said,
"It's me! Kong Jie!"

Then Kong Jie listened silently to what was said on the other end of the phone, then Kong Jie nodded in agreement, and finally Kong Jie said:

"Yes! I will send the cavalry company over for support immediately!"

Then he hung up the phone. After Kong Jie hung up the phone, Wang Gensheng asked curiously:

"Captain, the higher-ups are sending the cavalry company to support that place!"

After hearing Wang Gensheng's words, Kong Jie did not hide it:

"The Independent Regiment was ordered to protect the headquarters, but Li Yunlong disobeyed orders and only sent Zhao Gang to bring the Second and Third Battalions of the Independent Regiment as reinforcements, directly reducing the Independent Regiment's combat effectiveness by half. Therefore, Shihuang was worried about the safety of the headquarters, so he sent the cavalry company of the new Second Regiment to Chenjiayu to reinforce!"

Wang Gensheng was immediately happy when he heard the order. It was like a pillow being given to him when he was sleepy. Just now, Wang Gensheng was still thinking about how to convince Kong Jie to agree to let him go to the Huting stronghold!
You know, Wang Gensheng didn't even dare to mention Chenjiayu just now! You know, the location of the headquarters is uncertain. Only the regiment responsible for protection is qualified to know. The rest of the regiments don't know the specific location of the headquarters unless they actively inform. Therefore, when talking to Kong Jie just now, Wang Gensheng only said that he was going to the Huting stronghold and didn't dare to mention Chenjiayu.

After all, the distance between Chenjiayu and Huting stronghold is not very far, so it is reasonable to pass by Chenjiayu and then encounter Yamamoto's special forces in order to inquire about the situation of the Japanese.

But now it’s good. The higher-ups have taken the initiative to send the cavalry company to Chenjiayu, so we don’t have to bother finding an excuse to get close to Chenjiayu.

Wang Gensheng did not delay, but immediately summoned the cavalry company, and then brought weapons and equipment, as well as corn and barley, the concentrated feed for the war horses.

After all, this time we are running continuously for 150 kilometers, so if we don’t replenish some nutrition in the middle, the warhorse will be exhausted.

Of course, time is also very urgent. After all, Wang Gensheng remembered that Yamamoto's special forces started the attack when it was just dawn in the morning, and now it is already afternoon, so there is not much time left for Wang Gensheng.

Fortunately, Wang Gensheng finally arrived at Chenjiayu before Yamamoto's special forces attacked.
