Chapter 2: The bugle sounds, and the Japanese are all dead.
Wang Yousheng became increasingly interested in the "golden finger" (a metaphor for a powerful, influential figure).
By farming rewards and using cheats like this, you'll eventually reach the maximum number of cheat points.
He immediately opened his profile page.
Name: Wang Yousheng
Age: 19
[Position: New recruit, 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment]
[Skills: Martial Arts 0, Quick-draw Gun 0, Bayonet Fighting 0, Lung Capacity 6800, Medical Skills 6...]
Wang Yousheng thought to himself: It seems this is not good. I have zero martial arts skills, and I'll probably die quickly if I fight the Japanese with bayonets.
His medical skills are indeed excellent; he should be a medic-type character with the appropriate skill points.
Wang Yousheng leaned against the trench, intending to continue his study, when at that moment, the attacking troops at the front withdrew.
Zhang Dabiao sported a sexy stubble, his eyes were fierce and imposing, and the large knife in his hand was stained with blood, which dripped onto the ground.
He rushed into the trench, cursing wildly, "Damn it! Everyone retreat to your positions and await the commander's orders!"
Wang Yousheng grabbed Zhang Dabiao's arm and pressed, "Battalion Commander, what tactics are the Japanese using now?"
Zhang Dabiao said, "These aren't ordinary Japanese soldiers; they're the elite of the Japanese army—the Sakata Regiment."
At that moment, Li Yunlong rushed back to the trench.
Li Yunlong glanced at the Japanese soldiers below the mountain, grinned, and cursed, "Damn it, that son of a bitch Sakata! He sent a whole battalion of bastards charging up the mountain in one charge! You all fight like your lives depend on it! We can't let the Japanese get up here!"
"yes!"
The soldiers in the trenches responded one after another, and in an instant, gunfire erupted.
Wang Yousheng approached the regimental commander and frowned as he glanced at the renowned Li Yunlong.
[Initial Analysis: Discovered Li Yunlong, commander of the New First Regiment, with a favorability rating of 15]
Sure enough, it was pretty much as he had imagined: thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a mouth like a bow. In his early twenties, he was a handsome young man! Only the war had tanned his face, making him look a little unkempt.
Wang Yousheng said, "Regimental Commander, the Sakata Regiment's command post is nearby. If we take down the command post, the Japanese will lose their command and are doomed!"
"Oh?"
Li Yunlong turned his gaze to Wang Yousheng, his eyes showing slight surprise, and asked, "How did you know?"
"Hmm... I saw it when the bugle was blowing."
Wang Yousheng dared not say that he had watched the TV series "Bright Sword" more than twenty times, and even read the novel more than ten times.
Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, that's more like my soldiers! Hehe, I saw it too. I was sending Zhuzi to bombard his command post, but we're withdrawing just to reorganize. If that succeeds, our regiment will break through head-on!"
"Break through head-on!"
Zhang Dabiao's expression changed in surprise. He said, "Commander, our opponent is the Sakata Regiment of the 4th Brigade. The division headquarters' orders are..."
"Get lost! Who's the commander, me or you? Sakata stabbed me in the heart! Damn it, this time I'm going to avenge my two old comrades!"
"yes!"
Zhang Dabiao's tiger-like eyes narrowed, and he replied loudly.
At the same time, I thought to myself that the commander was really bold. He had fought so many battles and had never experienced such a scene before!
Li Yunlong turned and glanced at Wang Yousheng. "What's your name?"
"Wang Yousheng!"
"Hmm, very good, I'll remember you!" Li Yunlong chuckled.
Wang Yousheng was overjoyed to have received the regimental commander's approval.
It must have been very comfortable to fight the Japanese alongside this regimental commander.
The Eye of Analysis has sent in more analysis data.
[Initial Analysis: Provided important intelligence to Li Yunlong, gained his appreciation, favorability +20, favorability 35]
"Report!" At that moment, a communications soldier reported: "Regimental Commander Li, the division headquarters and field hospital have successfully retreated. The division headquarters has ordered the 771st and 772nd Regiments to conduct a flanking maneuver to cover the retreat of the New 1st Regiment."
Li Yunlong's expression was somewhat displeased. "Retreat? Didn't you see these beasts have already come up? Go back and tell the division commander that the New First Regiment has already engaged the Japanese. Retreating now would just make us live targets."
Signalman: "Regimental Commander Li, this is the division commander's order!"
Li Yunlong grinned and replied, "I know, I'll definitely retreat if I have the chance, but look at me, how am I supposed to retreat now?"
The communications soldier was speechless. He knew Commander Li Yunlong's temper. He had delivered the order, and whether or not Li Yunlong listened was up to him.
Li Yunlong disobeyed orders, and in the end, he was the one who suffered.
After the communications soldier left, Li Yunlong noticed several military officers from the new First Regiment looking at him, especially Zhang Dabiao, who seemed hesitant to speak.
Li Yunlong said, "Da Biao, what are you afraid of? Breaking out anywhere doesn't matter! Just you wait, I'll smash that old devil Sakata to pieces!"
Zhang Dabiao's body immediately trembled, and he grinned, saying, "Yes! Smash that old devil Sakata to pieces!"
Wang Yousheng watched Li Yunlong's retreating figure, his heart surging with excitement!
As soon as the Battle of Cangyunling began, the 771st Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, and the New 1st Regiment were trapped on the mountain. Facing the Sakata Regiment, which had once defeated two divisions of the Central Army, the three regiments fought fiercely for several hours, and each regiment suffered heavy casualties.
The new regiment has accumulated ample resources over the years, and the soldiers have long been looking forward to a tough battle. Now is the perfect opportunity.
Li Yunlong led Zhang Dabiao to the front, and all units stood ready to launch a counter-offensive!
Judging from the current situation, the plot is basically the same, and even more detailed and richer than what Wang Yousheng saw.
It feels incredibly realistic.
[Battle Overview: The 771st and 772nd Regiments have been detected entering the bugle call coverage area]
"Oh?"
Wang Yousheng immediately became excited.
The bugle call could be heard for 200 meters; I wonder what the effect would be after it was sounded.
Three minutes later.
Several cannon shots rang out from behind the Japanese troops ahead!
boom!
A plume of black smoke shot into the sky, blasting several Japanese soldiers into the air.
Wang Yousheng recalled the plot of "Bright Sword" and thought that Wang Chengzhu must have succeeded. Next, it would be time for the new regiment to launch a counterattack.
[Battle Overview: Enemy Commander 'Sakata Nobutetsu' has been detected as defeated. 10000 points added, 50 merits awarded]
The points from the cheat system keep increasing, and so do the merits!
Wang Yousheng decided that after the battle, he would see what other amazing features this cheat system had.
At the same time, Li Yunlong jumped onto the trench and roared like a tiger: "Brothers of the New First Regiment, the Sakata Regiment's command post is destroyed, charge!"
"kill!"
Instantly, all the soldiers of the New First Regiment sprang to their feet, their weapons already itching for action, and they all roared as they charged toward the enemy directly in front of them.
Wang Yousheng could see clearly that there was a large battalion of Japanese soldiers down the mountain, with excellent weapons and equipment, and their Type 92 infantry guns were booming loudly.
Immediately, Wang Yousheng picked up the bugle and blew it again!
The crisp bugle call to charge was inspiring and uplifting, and morale soared. To Wang Yousheng's surprise, many soldiers dressed in Eighth Route Army uniforms appeared all around and joined the battle.
[Battle Overview: Bugle calls have applied a red morale buff; the 771st and 772nd Regiments have joined the battle.]
[Battle Rewards: 771st Regiment Commander Xu Ji unleashed his potential; Xu Ji's quick-draw proficiency increased by 20; 2 enemies killed; Wang Yousheng's points increased by 20]
772nd Regiment Commander Cheng Chenghuan unleashed his potential, his quick-draw proficiency increased by 20, he killed 4 enemies, and Wang Yousheng gained 40 points.
...]
The score skyrocketed, and within the area covered by the bugle call, the soldiers' morale soared, displaying unprecedented bravery!
The 771st Regiment was originally there to cover Li Yunlong's retreat, but seeing the New 1st Regiment fighting like crazy, they did not hesitate to launch a counter-attack as well.
Wang Chenghuan of the 772nd Regiment hesitated at first, but when he saw that the Japanese were already in a state of defeat, he joined the counterattack...
The entire hillside was littered with corpses. The Japanese soldiers were completely dumbfounded when they saw the Eighth Route Army charging down so fiercely.
Originally, they were the ones besieging the Eighth Route Army, but now it's turned into a counter-encirclement?
On the other side, Sakata Nobutetsu sent his last telegram just before he was killed in battle.
The telegram reached the Japanese communications headquarters in Taiyuan, where Yoshio Shinotsuka, commander of the First Army stationed in North China, looked astonished.
The telegram reads: The 3rd Regiment of the 4th Brigade has trapped three regiments of the Eighth Route Army on the Cangyunling Mountain in the direction of Lijiapo. The battle has entered a stalemate. Unexpectedly, an Eighth Route Army unit has launched a frontal assault. The enemy is only a regimental-level unit, yet they dare to engage my 3rd Regiment head-on. The positions have changed hands many times. The current situation is dire. But please rest assured, General, my men and I are sworn to serve the Emperor to the death.
Yoshio Shinotsuka was surprised. The Third Regiment belonged to the 4th Brigade, which was a Class A division, so naturally it was a formidable fighting force.
However, he was truly baffled that this Eighth Route Army unit dared to confront the Third Regiment head-on.
What troubled him even more was that the Third Regiment might cease to exist...
At that moment, Yoshio Shinotsuka remembered the 386th Brigade very well.
