Chu Yunfei's face was filled with disbelief. He had observed the situation of both sides in detail before.
The Sakata United's direct troops and the main force's 2nd Main Company went all out to surround and annihilate the new regiment. There was a huge disparity in strength and equipment between the two sides.
In Chu Yunfei's opinion, it was only a matter of time before the new team was completely devoured by the Sakata United Team.
Chu Yunfei was very clear about the fighting strength of the Sakata United Team.
Back then, the 358th Regiment had encountered them in the wilderness. In less than an hour of intense battle, they had lost more than 300 people.
It was only because Chu Yunfei had given the right command and retreated quickly, otherwise, the 358th Regiment would have been eaten by the Sakata United.
Now, not only did the new regiment break out of the encirclement, but they had also caused so many casualties to the Sakata regiment. How could Chu Yunfei not be shocked?
"Brother Li Gong, they…how did they break out of the encirclement?”Chu Yunfei hurriedly asked.
"According to the frontline observation post, on the high ground six kilometers away from the main battlefield, the Eighteenth Army has deployed an artillery position. There was a difference in the firing range of the cannons on both sides, and the Japanese were caught off guard.”
"Regimental commander, according to the report, this artillery unit can be said to be a surprise attack that turned the tide of the battle. Their commander's battlefield command ability is very outstanding. With just a few cannons, he was able to destroy the command center and heavy weapons of the Sakata United Army.”
Fang Ligong came in front of the map, picked up a baton, and began to explain.
Chu Yunfei carefully observed the map. After listening to Fang Ligong's explanation, he nodded thoughtfully.
"If that's the case, the 18th Army must have been prepared. This artillery commander is indeed impressive, but the commander of the besieged troops is also a character. I really want to meet them. To have such a commanding talent is the fortune of the country and the nation.”
Chu Yunfei stood up and slowly walked to the door. He looked at the distant Gray Cloud Ridge and muttered to himself.
The members of the 358th Regiment were stunned. They looked at Chu Yunfei and then at Fang Ligong.
These two people were both capable and had high standards. It was not easy to be praised by them at the same time.
At this moment, the Japanese's 4th Brigade's Major General, Kagawa Shinji, was also shocked.
In the 4th Brigade, Shinji Kagawa, who was wearing a major general's uniform, stood in front of the map with a cold expression.
The Sakata Regiment was an elite unit of the 4th Brigade. They had achieved a series of honors in the battlefields of Jin Province.
In Kagawa Shinji's opinion, the Sakata United Army would definitely achieve amazing results in this clean-up operation.
After all, the 18 armies they were dealing with were just a bunch of mobs in the eyes of the Japanese.
However, when the news of Sakata United's defeat came, Shinji Kagawa was completely dumbfounded.
"Brigade leader, this is the detailed battle history of the Sakata regiment. Please take a look.”
The chief of staff of the 4th Brigade sorted out the relevant battle documents of the Sakata Army and reported them to Shinji Kagawa.
The Sakata United Team would use the 2nd main team to surround and annihilate the new team. The 1st main team would be responsible for attacking the Death Squad. The 3rd main team would be responsible for making a large detour, preparing to attack the retreating division headquarters and other units.
In terms of deployment, Nobutetsu Sakata did not make too many mistakes. With their strength, every Japanese soldier would not be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated.
"The accident happened at the artillery position outside the main battlefield of Gray Cloud Ridge. Why is there an artillery position here?”
"Baka Yalu, are the intelligence agencies all good-for-nothing? Didn't they say that this unit would never have an artillery unit?”
Soon, Shinji Kagawa found the main point. He quickly came to the map and pointed at the artillery position set up by the militia.
The entire battle was because of the artillery here, causing the Sakata United Army to pay a heavy price.
The colonel's regiment commander, Shingetsu Sakata, and the deputy regiment commander, Nakasuke Urayou, were killed. The regiment suffered a devastating blow.
The 2nd Battalion's Artillery Unit and the Infantry Artillery Squadron had six cannons destroyed.
The 2nd Battalion had more than 500 casualties. Such a loss was something that the Sakata United Army had never experienced before.
Kagawa Shinji did not dare to report it for a while. After all, as the direct superior of the Sakata United, he definitely had some responsibility.
" Brigade Commander, after our detailed inquiry, the 2nd Battalion can confirm that the artillery unit here is most likely the militia of the 18th Battalion. Moreover, there are only a dozen of them…"
The chief of staff hesitated for a moment before carefully reporting.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Shinji Kagawa slapped him hard on the cheek.
"You mean that the dozen or so civilians armed with cold weapons by the Eighteenth Army were the culprits who caused the heavy casualties of the Sakata United Army?”
Shinji Kagawa couldn't help but roar. He widened his eyes and glared at the chief of staff.
"No, no, no. Brigade commander, there are also the Jinsui Army near the battlefield. This artillery must be from the Jinsui Army!”
The chief of staff hurriedly shook his head and said as he looked at Shinji Kagawa's eyes that looked as if he wanted to eat someone up.
Indeed, the Sakata United Army had suffered such heavy losses. If the report was based on the actual situation and it was caused by a dozen militia, the Japanese higher-ups would definitely go crazy.
However, the report said that the Sakata United had suffered such casualties because the main force of the 18th Army had joined forces with the artillery of the Jinsui Army. This was easier to accept.
Soon, Shinji Kagawa began to report to the First Army's headquarters. At the same time, he ordered the Sakata Army to quickly reorganize and replenish their forces.
The Japanese had a strong desire for revenge. They had suffered such a huge loss this time, so they definitely wanted to get back at them.
……
Yang Chen was completely unaware of the reactions from all sides. After retreating from the battlefield, he led the militia back to Nanzhuang Village.
The sky gradually turned dark. The dozen people returned to the dilapidated courtyard house. Everyone sat together and looked at Yang Chen.
Everything that had just happened was like a dream to them.
They had never expected that their team of more than ten people could actually take care of so many Japanese.
Of course, they knew that without Yang Chen's command, they would never have done this.
At this moment, the militia looked at Yang Chen with admiration.
Yang Chen had planned to give a speech to boost morale, but as soon as he returned to the courtyard house, the system's voice sounded.
"Unlocking the courtyard house…"
"The courtyard house has been unlocked by 5%. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the A skill pack.”
"The Siheyuan has been unlocked by 10%. Congratulations to the host for unlocking the semi-automatic rifle.”
"Congratulations to the host for completing your first battle. The system rewards the host for continuously killing enemies.”
Voices rang out in his mind, but Yang Chen was confused about the A skill pack and the rewards for killing consecutive enemies. He didn't understand at all.
