"Your Excellency! According to the reports of the scouts at the front line, the advancing army had sent out their troops!”In the joint command of the Imperial Guards, an adjutant excitedly reported to the Imperial Guards.
"Oh my! As expected. Immediately inform the first lieutenant on the mountain that the reserve team will attack and quickly capture Laiyang City. At the same time, he sent a message to Lieutenant Zhong Shan, asking him to take down Tiger Head Mountain as quickly as possible. Also, call Takeuchi-kun, who is in the mixed brigade, and ask him to delay the advance army that is heading to Tiger Head Mountain to reinforce the Independent Regiment.”When he heard the news of the advance army sending out troops, the Imperial Guard immediately ordered in joy.
"Haiyi! However, the colonel had sent out all his reserve troops. As for your safety…should I leave a team behind to protect you?”the adjutant asked hesitantly.
"Let alone a small team, not even a team. He had no choice. We are already lacking in manpower to face an army that has more light and heavy weapons than us. The five squadrons under the command of the mixed brigade are all borrowed from the three nearby counties. If we can't quickly take back Laiyang City, the casualties of the mixed brigade will definitely be very serious. At that time, the Imperial Army's defense force in the southeast region would be damaged. More importantly, if some civilian armed forces find out about the transfer of troops from the nearby county, the tragedy of the battle at Laiyang will inevitably repeat itself. At that time, even if all of us die, it will not be able to make up for our mistakes!”Keibun sighed.
In reality, Keibun, Kazuki Nakayama, and the others were in a life-and-death game. If they won, they would take back Laiyang City, severely injure the Tiger Head Mountain Independent Regiment, and properly entertain the reinforcements. Everyone would be happy. However, if they lost, not only would they not be able to take back Laiyang City, it would even cause the entire Japanese army to lose their defenses in the entire southeastern region of Lu.
However, this was a life and death gamble in the hearts of Keibun, Izuki Zhongshan, Hiroshi Yamaguchi, and the others. In Qin Yuxuan's eyes, it was just a good opportunity to expand his base…
"Staff Officer Zhou, we found a large Japanese army outside the city, at least three squadrons. They are now slowly advancing towards us.”On the city wall of Laiyang, Zhou Weiguo was wiping the German 98 sniper rifle that Qin Yuxuan had given him as he listened to Wei Dayong's report.
"Got it. Tell the soldiers below not to shoot first. Wait for them to get close before shooting. "Our mission is not to annihilate them, but to stall them and buy time for the commander to seize Lai Xi County," Zhou Weiguo nodded and said.
"Then what if they don't care about attacking Laiyang and insist on returning to reinforce?”Wei Da Yong asked.
"Open the city gates and chase them. Send them to meet Amaterasu.”Zhou Weiguo imitated Qin Yuxuan's lines…
(Half an hour later, on a hillside five miles away from Laixi County)
"Brother Shen, how far is it from here to the flag pole?”Qin Yuxuan asked Shen Zui, who was beside him, while holding an ordinary sniper rifle.
"Hmm…about 2,500 meters. What's wrong?" Shen Zui used the binoculars hanging in front of his chest to make a rough evaluation.
"Brother Shen, let me make a bet with you. If I hit the flag pole at a distance of 2,500 meters, you will stay and work with me! If we can't win, I don't care what Mr. Jiang means about the reorganization of the advancing army. What do you think?" Qin Yuxuan asked in a half-joking and half-serious tone.
"Is that true? Brother Qin, don't lie to me." Shen Zui asked subconsciously when he heard Qin Yuxuan's bet.
"The ancients said: A gentleman's word is unshakable. I, Qin Yuxuan, will do what I say." Qin Yuxuan patted his chest and promised.
"Alright, since Brother Qin is interested, I won't be polite.”Shen Zui, who thought that Qin Yuxuan was overestimating himself, nodded and agreed.
"Hu Zi, after I shoot down that pole, immediately order the artillery to bombard the garrison in Lai Xi County. After the three rounds of artillery shells were fired, he ordered the 3rd Company, 4th Company, and 2 Recruit Company to immediately charge forward. They took over Lai Xi." Qin Yuxuan smiled and ordered Xu Hu.
"Yes, sir!"
"Ding! 85 degrees to the right, a Japanese flag pole, fixed target, no obstruction to the wind direction.”Bayonet reported his position.
"Bang!" In an instant, a scorching bullet streaked across the air and hit the conspicuous Japanese flag pole 2,500 meters away without any error...
"Fire!"
"Qiu…Qiu…
" Clear…" The moment the flag pole dropped rapidly, Xu Hu gave the order, and the six mortars and four infantry cannons quickly fired several shells.
"Brother Shen, how is it?" Qin Yuxuan smiled and patted the stunned Shen Zui.
"This…this…how is this possible?”Shen Zui looked at the sniper rifle in Qin Yuxuan's hand in disbelief.
"Haha! Brother Shen, the world is so big. Our military doesn't have many weapons and equipment, but that doesn't mean that the other countries don't have them. Hmm…After taking down Laixi County, the army would be expanded. I have to arrange a good position for you!”Qin Yuxuan said with a smile.
" This..." Shen Zui was slightly conflicted as he recalled the previous bet.
"Alright, Brother Shen. I was just joking with you. However, don't mention Mr. Jiang's words in my ear in the future. Unless…he can do what I want. By the way, if one day Brother Shen wants to live a different life, I will definitely open the door for you.”Qin Yuxuan said to Shen Zui.
"Advisor Xu! Order the infantry to attack!"
"Kill without mercy!" He did not have the time to care whether Shen Zui would consider entering or not. Qin Yuxuan held a commanding sword in his hand and pointed it at the city gate of Laixi County that had been blasted open by artillery fire. He shouted…
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The familiar sound of the vanguard's charge sounded again. More than 500 soldiers with rifles rushed into Lai Xi County.
There was no doubt that Lai Xi County was also recovered.
Accompanying the sound of the vanguard's charge was the swelling ambition in Shen Zui's heart and the death knell of the Imperial Guards Infantry Unit...
