Even if I'm a useless bum at Whampoa Military Academy, I'll be invincible in the War of Re

The guerrilla detachment launched a full-scale counterattack. Kenzo Sato abandoned two main regiments and fled for his life. Iizuka and Tsuda escaped first under the protection of five companies. When disaster strikes, everyone flees for their own lives.

The two regimental headquarters were burdened with a lot of equipment and could not move fast at all. The Second Battalion and the isolated battalion carried out staggered attacks in the city, peeling away the enemy's defenses layer by layer, and constantly reducing the enemy's strength.

The First Battalion, the Training Corps, and the Supply Corps herded the sheep from behind, surrounding and annihilating any groups they caught, while the main force continued the pursuit.

The 101st and 149th regiments were completely let loose. Although there were still three or four thousand men, they could no longer pose a resistance. They were like wildebeest herds on the African savanna, running for their lives.

The isolated battalion and the second battalion had only a little over a thousand men left. They dared not forcibly block the enemy, so they could only flank and skim off their skin. The effect was surprisingly good, with almost no casualties, but the results were brilliant.

The Eighth Company of the isolated battalion surrounded a group of Japanese soldiers carrying a large amount of supplies, who were clearly non-combatants.

This is a big piece of meat. Asano Masao was scattered by the tide, holding an exquisite wooden box in his hands. He was the flag bearer of the 101st Regiment.

The flag-bearing squadron was originally part of the regimental headquarters retreating, but they were defeated too quickly and scattered by the fleeing soldiers. Now, only a few men remain.

The regimental flag is the most important symbol of the regiment, and it must not be destroyed or captured, so Asano Masao is very conflicted.

The fact that the Chinese did not forcibly block the escape route gave him a sliver of hope, as he attempted to preserve the honor of the 101st Regiment.

Unexpectedly, the troops were scattered and surrounded by onlookers. Captain Asano no longer hesitated and decided to destroy the military flag. He could not bear the consequences of it being captured, otherwise his family would be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Just as he was about to destroy the military flag, a volley of mortar shells fell from the sky, one of which landed right behind Captain Asano, sending him back to his hometown.

The Eighth Company launched a final attack on the Japanese soldiers within the encirclement. Company Commander Deng Ying led the charge, and dozens of Japanese remnants fled in disarray, only to be wiped out.

Deng Ying, covered in blood and exuding a murderous aura, roared:

"Brothers, hurry up and clean up the battlefield!"

Yang Guai rummaged through the Japanese soldier's body, intending to get a couple of packs of cigarettes, and soon he spotted Captain Asano. Although the old man was dead, he was clutching the wooden box tightly in his arms, which clearly contained valuable items; Yang Guai suspected it was gold.

He glanced around instinctively, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he sneaked over, feeling somewhat uneasy.

All the Japanese soldiers were fleeing for their lives, and several regiments of the guerrilla detachment pursued them relentlessly, routing the 101st Brigade.

The pursuit continued until midnight, with soldiers chasing after the enemy by torchlight. They nearly annihilated the main force of the 101st Brigade, with only three or four thousand escaping.

The guerrilla detachment then cleaned up the battlefield and searched for any remaining enemy troops; no one felt tired.

The gunfire finally ceased when the sun rose above the horizon once more. The soldiers, exhausted, collapsed to the ground and fell asleep, while the officers took charge of guard duty.

The regiments victoriously joined forces, and the battle results were gradually tallied and reported to headquarters. Xie Polu's eyes were bloodshot as he excitedly reported to Zhao Yunwen:

"Commander, after seven days and eight nights of fierce fighting, our guerrilla detachment has severely damaged the 101st Brigade, eliminating more than 5 Japanese soldiers, and capturing two 105mm heavy artillery pieces, five 8mm mountain guns, eight 6mm infantry guns, six rapid-fire guns, more than 5 rifles and pistols, and countless ammunition and supplies!"

In addition, two radios and one military flag were captured.

Zhao Yunwen thought he had misheard and interrupted Xie Polu to ask:

"Military flag? Is it the Rising Sun Flag that only the regiment has? Don't show off the Japanese flag."

Xie Polu said proudly:

"It was naturally the Rising Sun Flag, captured by Yang Guai of the Lone Army Battalion!"

"Sheep's knucklebone?!"

Zhao Yunwen thought the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place it. That didn't matter anymore, but a generous reward was necessary!

"Come on, let's go take a look!"

Zhao Yunwen was a little impatient, but it was understandable. This thing was not easy to capture, and once it was made public, it would be an unparalleled blow to the Japanese.

Zhao Yunwen soon saw the regimental flag of the 101st Regiment and Sergeant Yang Guai.

He finally remembered who it was, but he hadn't expected Yang Guai to still be alive. He guessed it was the butterfly effect of his own time travel, and immediately patted Yang Guai on the shoulder and said:

"You've done a great job this time! I've decided to promote you to second lieutenant platoon leader, and reward you with 100 silver dollars!"

Yang Guai was so happy he almost fainted. A whole 100 Yuan Shikai silver dollars! That's enough to marry the most beautiful woman in the world.

What delighted him most was becoming a second lieutenant platoon leader. Becoming an officer completely changed his status. Not only did his salary increase significantly, but his position and status were also different.

Yang Guai excitedly saluted:

"Thank you, Commander!"

After dismissing Yang Guai, Zhao Yunwen turned to Xie Polu and said:

"Report the victory to the Military Commission immediately!"

"Commander, won't this attract the Japanese troops, making our breakout difficult?"

Zhao Yunwen smiled mysteriously and said:

"Don't worry, I'm just afraid they won't come. As for breaking through, I have a brilliant plan!"

How will Zhao Yunwen lead the guerrilla detachment to break through the encirclement? The excitement continues! Add it to your bookshelf so you don't get lost!
