Drip, drip, drip…
The frequency of the large radio station was constantly ringing in the communications department. More than 30 beautiful young female telegraphers were busy flying but not in a hurry. Suddenly, a female officer with the rank of second lieutenant picked up a telegram, left the radio table, and ran to the door.
In the Hall of Righteousness, Zhou Wen stood in front of the map. He looked at the icon marked in the direction of Red Pine Ridge with an extremely gloomy expression. Ten minutes ago, the sound of artillery fire came from the direction of Red Pine Ridge, where the 102nd Infantry Regiment was stationed.
"Commander, should we send reinforcements?”
Wu Changji, who had been promoted from deputy chief of staff to 101 regiment commander, was the first to ask Zhou Wen.?
"Report…"
A female second lieutenant stepped into the hall and saluted Zhou Wen, who was standing in front of the map."The 102nd Regiment is calling. The Japanese army has a regiment carrying heavy weapons that is attacking Red Pine Ridge. There are about 3500 people."
Currently, the three infantry battalions of the 102nd Regiment were fighting back on the three main peaks of Red Pine Ridge. The battle was very intense, and the enemy troops had made two death charges.
But we beat them all down. The commander of the 102nd Regiment, Fang Qingping, said that they would deal a heavy blow to the enemy. He asked the commander and the division headquarters not to worry.”
"What are the enemy's numbers?"
"Reporting to the commander. The intelligence report says that it's the Sakata United Army of the 4th Brigade.”
"Sakata United? Alright, Wenjing, you go ahead. Keep in touch and report to me if anything happens.”
"Yes, Commander!"
Wen Jing, who was a second lieutenant, saluted Yan Jue who had just stepped into the hall. She turned around and walked back to the communications department.
"Commander!"
Everyone in the hall saluted Yan Jue when they saw him.
"Alright, there's no need for so many formalities. Zhou Wen, what do we do now?"
Yan Jue waved at the 101st Regiment's commander, Wu Changji, and the three battalion commanders, Zhao Lei, Zhang He, and Wang Ping. He took a few steps forward and sat on a chair to look at Zhou Wen. The 102nd Regiment said they didn't need any support, but they were still new recruits and their combat strength was too weak.
"Commander."
Zhou Wen looked at the expressionless Yan Jue and thought for a moment before saying," According to the information we gathered in the past, the Sakata Regiment is an elite of the Fourth Brigade. It's a field force and has quite a strong combat strength.
Based on my judgment, with the reinforced concrete fortifications built by the original 2nd Battalion of the 101st Regiment at Red Pine Ridge, it shouldn't be a problem for them to hold off the Sakata United Army for a few days. However, if they were to counterattack, they probably wouldn't be able to do so.”
"Yes, so?"
"Of course, but the 102nd regiment hasn't experienced any real battles. They need to be baptized by the flames of war. I think that's why Fang Qingping called and said that he doesn't need our help.”
"I see!"
Yan Jue nodded after listening. He did not agree or object. It was not a problem to use the flames of war to sharpen the recruits of the 102nd Regiment, but he was afraid that the knife would be blunt because the Sakata Regiment was not to be trifled with.
If it was the 101st Regiment, she wouldn't even need to ask. However, the 102nd Regiment wasn't the 101st Regiment.
"This Sakata United, are there any Japanese troops around him that went to reinforce him?”
Yan Jue crossed his legs and rested his chin on one hand as he looked at Zhou Shuren, the Section Chief of the Intelligence Department.
"Reporting to the commander, after investigation, there's nothing! There were no enemy movements within a radius of 40 kilometers.”
"No? Really?"
"Commander, according to our intelligence, this Sakata United Army has just been mobilized from the front line. This operation should have been carried out without the approval of the higher-ups.
There's news that the captain of the Chuangu Brigade and Nobutetsu Sakata of the Sakata United Team are childhood friends. That's why they attacked our Red Pine Ridge troops.”
"Good, arrogant enough!"
Yan Jue was a little angry after listening to Zhou Shuren, the head of the Intelligence Department. They had more than 3500 people, yet they dared to attack Red Pine Ridge, which had dense fortifications. This was really in line with the Japanese's usual style of handling things. They were arrogant and blindly confident.
Ring, ring, ring…
The crisp ringtone of the phone suddenly rang in the hall. A staff officer walked over and picked up the phone.
"Division command center, where are you?"
"Hello, reporting to the command center. We are the Bluestone Bridge Independent Regiment. Please report to the division commander that our Independent Regiment is requesting for battle and is willing to take the lead to reinforce Red Pine Ridge's friendly troops.”
The combat staff officer covered the microphone with his hand when he heard that. He turned to look at Yan Jue and Zhou Wen and said," Commander, division commander, it's a call from the Independent Regiment requesting for battle."”
"Independent regiment?"
Yan Jue was amused. The troops that were usually sent to assist in battle were afraid of being used as cannon fodder. It was rare for them to take the initiative to fight.
"Commander, letting the independent regiment go is also a solution. Now that they have changed their weapons and equipment, it's a good time to check their combat strength. Because in the future, if we encounter a war, we can also arrange their specific positions.”
Zhou Wen looked at Yan Jue and couldn't help but persuade him. In fact, this was what the other teams in the division were thinking.
The 101st Infantry Regiment and the 103rd Heavy Artillery Regiment were fine. After all, they were all direct descendants of the clone army. They were famous for obeying orders and acting according to the commander's wishes. But recently, the complaints of the 102nd Regiment, the 1st and 2nd Green Battalion had started to surface.
Yan Jue naturally understood what Zhou Wen meant. She had heard a lot of gossip recently.
Because the people of this era were uncultured and short-sighted, they could not see the national situation. If they did not encounter major twists and turns such as famine in their lives, the distance they traveled would only be 100 kilometers. This was the world they thought they were in.
After the villages near Green Dragon Mountain were under the jurisdiction of the independent division, especially after their living standards rose, they all felt proud to join the Green Dragon Mountain army.
Now, a foreign army was also enjoying their treatment, so the people couldn't figure it out, and even the new recruits were complaining.
"Let the independent regiment go. It just so happens that they won this time. They can also better integrate into this place.”
Yan Jue massaged the space between his brows, feeling a little tired. He really didn't know how expensive rice was if he didn't take charge of the household. The Green Dragon Mountain that she ruled was only a hundred miles, and it had a population of just tens of thousands. Why was there so much trouble?
She felt that she had embarrassed the predecessors of transmigration. Look at the protagonists in those cool novels. Which one of them did not punch the Japanese and step on the overseas powers? They rose all the way like Long Aotian and could conquer a few provinces in just a few months. There was nothing wrong with them.
"It's the commander!"
The staff officer answered and picked up the phone again.
