Chapter 15: Seizing the Field Position Outside the City

At this moment!

Zhang Kang led his troops, galloping toward Dunwu Temple.

The troops led by 2nd Platoon Leader Zhang Zhiyun had set up a perimeter.

They were less than five hundred meters away from the Dunwusi City District.

Zhang Zhiyun took a careful look from a distance.

He discovered that there did not seem to be any little devils in the city district.

"Platoon Leader!"

"Looking at the situation, it seems Dunwu Temple has not fallen yet."

"Have all our troops arrived?"

"Company Commander, we have made a discovery on the east side."

"If the situation turns wrong, fire your guns immediately to warn us."

However, they must enter the Field Position now.

Zhang Zhiyun nodded, "Company Commander."

"Zhang Zhiyun, take a few men up there to take a look."

Zhang Kang pondered for a moment and felt it was very likely.

So, they had been galloping all the way here.

Sending Yu Hua out to carry out a mission so early.

"Company Commander... this..."

The streets of the city district had been hit by the devils' artillery fire, and some were still burning.

"This group of devils was ambushed by our men."

They immediately poured into the city.

Zhang Kang took a look through his Telescope.

"We will talk about this later."

Hearing this, Zhang Kang's eyes widened, "Zhang Zhiyun, you mean..."

The dense crowd of devil soldiers was about one company strong.

"Could this group of little devils have been ambushed by our Sichuan Army?"

"Hey... brother!"

"No need to ask for instructions, open fire directly."

Hearing this, Zhang Kang's eyes widened, "Not lost?"

There were over two hundred little devils who died here.

They saw another street block where the corpses of the little devils were lying in a jumble.

"Everyone run faster!"

To tell the truth, Zhang Zhiyun found it hard to believe.

Wei Dayong also came to Yu Hua's side.

The situation before them also greatly shocked the Sichuan Army soldiers.

"I am 1st Company 1st Platoon Leader Yu Hua."

"I observed it, the devils' artillery fire is very powerful."

That kid Yu Hua was likely in grave danger.

"The little devils will move into the city district immediately."

In the street ahead, Zhang Kang saw dozens of little devil corpses lying on the road.

Seeing Zhang Zhiyun run over, Zhang Kang asked very urgently.

"We traveled a thousand miles out of Chuan just to fight the National War."

"And, looking at the situation!"

Hearing this, Zhang Kang's eyes shone.

"My idea is that we hide inside the city."

This street was full of the devils' corpses.

They arrived at the outskirts of the Dunwusi City District.

"The Field Position outside the city district was just occupied by a company of devils."

"I will go to the east side to take a look."

Zhang Zhiyun ran toward Zhang Kang in a hurry.

"Report, Company Commander!"

They probably ran into the devils' search party halfway there.

However, there were indeed no little devils to be seen inside the city.

Leaving the civilian house, Yu Hua came to Zhang Kang's side.

Coming to the window of the civilian house, Yu Hua took a look.

"With both sides' forces tangled together, the little devils' artillerymen dare not fire indiscriminately."

"Pay attention to security!"

After Zhang Kang finished speaking, he followed Li Linbo away.

The 1st Squad Leader beside Zhang Zhiyun spoke up.

"Platoon Leader!"

Zhang Kang put down the Telescope in his hand.

Yu Hua stood up, "Let's go take a look."

However, when he led the troops to the front part of the city district.

"I'm going to find the Company Commander."

Although it was unclear what was going on with the Field Position at Dunwu Temple.

After Zhang Kang led the troops into the city, he searched the streets carefully.

"It seems there is a unit here."

The little devils' artillery fire was so fierce that the 16th Division retreated along the entire line.

"Our top priority now is to quickly stabilize the position."

He discovered that the Sichuan Army soldiers on the street were from Li Linbo's 3rd Platoon of the 1st Company.

"After the devil soldiers come in."

"Company Commander!"

Once Zhang Kang's order was given, the entire company continued to dash toward Dunwu Temple.

Suddenly, there was a discovery.

"Otherwise, we would have already run into the little devils by now."

If the position at Dunwu Temple were lost.

"Dunwu Temple doesn't seem to be lost yet."

"I want to see what the hell is going on here."

After discovering that the little devils had occupied the Field Position outside the city district.

"In the street ahead, there are enough little devil corpses to fill a squad."

"Pass on my order: once you encounter the little devils ahead."

"Discovered Sichuan Army troops."

"If we fight them head-on, both of our companies will be wiped out by the devils' artillery fire."

Zhang Kang also sent a message to Tang Haojie, the commander of the Second Company behind him.

Tang Haojie also quickly led his troops into the city to consolidate the position.

"Platoon Leader of the 1st Platoon, 1st Company, 1st Battalion, 402nd Brigade, 133rd Division, Sichuan Army 20th Army."

"Have the Company Commander and Battalion Commander arrived yet?"

"We fought the devils in hand-to-hand combat and chased them all the way to the Field Position outside the city."

Dropping these words, Zhang Zhiyun ran back.

"I am certain that Dunwu Temple should not be lost yet."

"Company Commander!"

He shouted: "Good lad!"

In case anything happened to Zhang Kang's company, Tang Haojie could provide reinforcements quickly.

Tang Haojie's Second Company served as the reserve force.

Thinking of this, Zhang Kang's brow furrowed.

Yu Hua let out a long breath; this was the Company Commander's voice.

Zhang Zhiyun nodded and took a Squad of soldiers, crouching as they moved forward.

Zhang Zhiyun returned, "Company Commander!"

Zhang Kang felt.

After speaking, Zhang Kang led the 1st Company into the city first.

"Yu Hua led the troops to intercept the devils and completed the mission of holding Dunwu Temple."

Arriving at the location Li Linbo mentioned, Zhang Kang really did discover figures moving on the opposite street.

"They are all wearing khaki cloth uniforms."

"The little devils are rushing toward us."

Zhang Kang arrived at Yu Hua's command post.

"Company Commander..."

"How is the situation at Dunwu Temple?"

After stepping forward to inspect it.

"Zhang Zhiyun, you continue to lead the team forward."

"I will come down immediately."

After hearing Yu Hua's report.

In the latter part of the Dunwu Temple district, besides broken houses and raging fires.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kang realized this was Yu Hua's voice.

Not having gone far!

At this moment, Zhang Kang still felt a bit of regret in his heart.

"Bullets in the chamber, move into the city!"

Zhang Kang patted Yu Hua on the shoulder.

It happened to be at this moment.

So many corpses, piling up the entire street.

"Company Commander!"

Li Linbo, the 3rd Platoon Leader of Zhang Kang's company, ran over.

"Don't any of you give me any slack."

"The men below say, on the street opposite us."

"I took a look at the battle situation; the firearms include Hanyang Rifles and Zhongzheng Rifles."

"Move!"

"Now lead the troops forward toward the city district."

"Company Commander... Company Commander..."

"The details of fighting the devils, we'll talk about later."

Zhang Kang made a rough estimate.

Zhang Kang waved his large hand, and the entire company became alert.

Zhang Kang's company ran at the very front, and they were now only one thousand meters away from Dunwu Temple.

"We want to retake the Field Position outside the city district."

"I don't know if it is... your troops, Platoon Leader."

There was nothing unusual.

"That's enough!" Seeing Zhang Zhiyun like this, Zhang Kang patted his shoulder.

"We observed the Dunwusi City District and found no little devils."

Zhang Zhiyun widened his eyes, his gaze filled with an expression of disbelief.

The Dunwusi City District position had not been lost.

"You really are giving me a surprise, damn it."

Zhang Zhiyun caught his breath, "Company Commander."

"Zhang Kang!"

"Attention, whole company!"

"No matter which unit it is, we will be able to see them very soon."

Zhang Kang led the 1st Company and continued to move forward.

"It can effectively prevent the devils' artillery fire from causing us harm."

Seeing his Company Commander ask this, Zhang Zhiyun widened his eyes.

Second Company Commander Tang Haojie found Zhang Kang.

This shocked Zhang Kang.

Yu Hua roughly recounted the current battle situation.

While running, Zhang Kang shouted loudly.

At the same time!

"In this way, our chances of taking the Field Position outside the city will also be much greater."

Seeing Tang Haojie finish speaking, Zhang Kang nodded, "I agree!"
