Everyone's faces were filled with unconcealable joy after the victory.
"This battle was fought beautifully. I believe that Marshal Guang will definitely commend us."”
"What should we do with these captives and supplies?”Li Changliang asked.
Li Changliang's words made them fall silent. That's right, what should we do with these captives and supplies?
Originally, Lu Guang's order was for them to completely destroy the artillery positions, but now, not only did they capture a lot, but they also captured the enemy artillery.
"I have an idea. We will occupy the enemy artillery position first. When the battle of Long En starts again tomorrow, we will use the artillery of the 5th Division to bomb the 5th Division and shadow the battle on the side of the Light Marshal.”Zhang Qiang said in a deep voice as he looked at the two of them.
Ma Rongsheng pondered for a moment and said,"This is a good idea. Using the enemy's things to destroy the enemy is a good idea. I agree, but we have to report it to the Guang Shuai."”
"I agree too. We should give him a taste of his own medicine, but who should we send back to report to Guang Shuai?”Li Changliang said in a deep voice. Their gazes fell on Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang had already become their backbone.
Zhang Qiang continued," The battle tomorrow will probably be even more difficult. With the strength of the 5th Battalion, it will probably be difficult to resist the enemy's attack. I'm afraid the defense line of the Longen Bridge will not be able to hold on." So, Company Commander Li, take the 2nd Cavalry Company back to Long En City and inform Guang Shuai of our plan.”
"Alright, my Second Company will rush to Long En and meet up with Guang Shuai. I'll leave this place to you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Changliang gathered the second company of cavalry and rushed towards Longen City.
Zhang Qiang and Ma Rongsheng gathered the captives, adjusted the artillery positions, and changed the direction of the cannons to aim at the 5th Division.
......
In Long En City, the Independent Regiment had ended a day of fighting. The soldiers were already mentally and physically exhausted.
Lu Guang dragged his tired body back to the county office. In today's battle, he had defeated two enemy charges and annihilated two enemy regiments. However, the 5th Infantry Battalion also suffered heavy casualties, losing almost a company.
This made the already small independent regiment even worse.
Today's battlefield was not too fierce. Tomorrow, the Dian Army would launch a more fierce offensive. At that time, whether the defense line of the Longen Bridge could hold on would be a crucial problem.
The situation at the defensive positions of Mount Duyang and the Heavenly Treasures Mountain had also been reported. Just like the Longen Bridge, the situation wasn't very good, and the troops had suffered a certain number of casualties.
Lu Guang frowned. How should they fight this battle? Could it be that the independent regiment that he had just raised up was going to die here?
Just as he was deep in thought, Wang Sen's voice broke his train of thought.
"Guang Shuai, the commander of the second cavalry company has returned and is waiting outside.”
Lu Guang regained some clarity. Did they succeed?
"Let him in."
"Guang Shuai, the Company Commander of the Second Cavalry Company, Li Changliang, is here to report.”Li Changliang said respectfully and saluted.
Lu Guang waved his hand and said in a deep voice,"How was the battle?"”
Lu Guang fell into deep thought. This was undoubtedly a very good decision and feasible.
"Order, Wolf Fang unit to return to Long En City, join the 5th Infantry Battalion and Machine Gun Company to launch a counterattack against the 5th Division.”
"Cavalry Company, hold the artillery position and supervise the artillery to turn the muzzle. Carry out a blanket bombardment on the 5th Division and the independent mixed brigade camp. Empty all the shells in fifteen minutes.”
"After the artillery fire stops, the 1st Company of Cavalry will attack from the left wing, the 2nd Company of Cavalry will attack from the right wing, and the Wolf Fang Battalion, 5th Infantry Battalion, and Machine Gun Company will attack from the front.”
"Long En City garrison, gather the captured artillery.”
A messenger from the 2nd Cavalry Company informed Zhang Liang and the others of the location of the 5th Division and the independent mixed regiment.
There were still two hours before four in the morning, which was enough for the troops to prepare for the counterattack.
Although the soldiers were already exhausted after a day of battle, they were still in a daze.
They had been very aggrieved by the defensive battle in the trenches today. Now, they could finally vent together.
Every soldier was filled with fighting spirit, and they couldn't wait to launch an all-out attack.
The garrison came out of Longen City. Although they did not have much combat power, it was not a problem for them to escort prisoners.
......
At the artillery position of the 5th division, Zhang Liang and Ma Rongsheng received Lu Guang's order and immediately gathered their troops to prepare for the counterattack.
The Wolf Fang Special Forces returned to Long En City. The cavalry company and the captured artillery adjusted their muzzles according to the coordinates, and countless shells were moved to the position.
Little did he know that this was an unusual night.
The commander of the 5th Division, Shen Yun, and the brigade commander of the independent mixed brigade, Wang Ke, were still asleep. They did not know that the artillery position had been lost, and a counter-charge battle was waiting for them.
No one would have thought that at this moment, the Independent Regiment was still preparing to fight back. With their extremely weak forces, they were fighting against the Dian Army, which was more than ten times stronger than them.
