Chapter 41: Commanding the Battle as Acting Company Commander (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Zhang Kang ran out from the anti-artillery cave.

"Danger!"

After a loud shout, Zhang Kang moved in a serpentine pattern and tackled Ge Wei to the ground.

"Women shouldn't be on the battlefield!"

Ge Wei shouted, "Let me go immediately!"

"I still need to find my notebook."

Zhang Kang held onto Ge Wei tightly, "Get into the anti-artillery cave with me."

During this round of fighting, officers at the company, battalion, and regiment levels suffered heavy losses.

Ge Wei flipped over and stood up, looking at Zhang Kang very nervously.

Yet the Sichuan Army, holding inferior weapons and wearing straw sandals and thin clothes, actually held back the vicious devils.

Yu Hua assembled the Sichuan Army troops.

"We of the Sichuan Army must wait until reinforcements arrive."

She looked at the devastated field position.

A shockwave knocked them both over, rolling them to the side of the anti-artillery cave entrance.

If it weren't for the Sichuan Army ambushing the devils and killing the son of the Fushimi-no-miya Prince.

A mortar shell and a grenade launcher round exploded next to the Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun.

When Deputy Battalion Commander Wang of the 1st Battalion was personally operating a devil's Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun to sweep the area.

"Of the officers on the position, you're the only one still jumping around, kid."

"There is a United States church inside the city, and the missionary inside is named John."

This number of people would soon be reduced to ashes under the devils' artillery fire.

However, Ge Wei insisted on finding her notebook, "Don't worry about me!"

This Local Army perhaps had no other thoughts at all!

Ge Wei insisted on running outside, for which Zhang Kang held onto Ge Wei tightly and would not let go.

"Zhang Kang... you must not fall asleep."

Two hundred or so devils advanced while crouching, and after reaching a certain distance.

Xiang Wenbin crawled out from the anti-artillery cave.

Ge Wei stood up from beside Zhang Kang.

The 2nd and 3rd Battalion Commanders had also both died for their country one after another; currently on the Sichuan Army's position.

But she was now also shocked by the scene before her.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang was instantly turned into a mist of blood.

At this very moment, Zhang Kang only felt his head was dizzy and heavy.

Now many soldiers were injured, yet even so, there was still a will to fight in the eyes of these Sichuan Army soldiers.

With a loud shout from Xiang Wenbin, seven hundred men fought against the little devils.

"Regimental Commander!" Yu Hua shouted loudly.

"Hold the posi... tion..."

"I'll stop the bleeding for you now."

Dragging Ge Wei, Zhang Kang crawled toward the anti-artillery cave on the right side.

"You must not let the devils step past Dunwu Temple."

Soon, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang of the 1st Battalion, "Report to the Regimental Commander!"

"Captain Ge, rest assured, as long as there are still people in my Sichuan Army."

Having been with the Sichuan Army troops for these few days, Ge Wei also knew that this Sichuan Army Second Lieutenant before her.

At this moment, Xiang Wenbin was seriously injured, and he lay on a stretcher.

Deputy Regiment Commander Xie Linfeng, while commanding the troops, was hit by a devil's mortar shell and died for his country on the spot.

"Regimental Commander, don't speak for now, get some good rest!" Yu Hua said while smoothing out Xiang Wenbin's chest.

At this time, Ge Wei also came out from the anti-artillery cave.

Some anti-artillery caves could not withstand such intense shelling and directly collapsed.

"The little devils are coming up!"

"The devils won't even think about getting past Dunwu Temple!"

Twenty minutes after the shelling.

Drops of fresh blood flowed onto Ge Wei's face.

The officers of the 1st Regiment had basically all been killed in action.

Three hundred men trying to defend the field position outside Dunwu Temple was simply impossible.

Immediately strike at the firepower points of the Sichuan Army position.

The battle fell into a white-hot state as soon as it began.

The devils' attack today was clearly to take revenge for Fushimi-no-miya Haoteng.

"The following battle is all handed over to you to command."

Yu Hua came before Ge Wei and looked at this woman.

"Damn it... women are just trouble!" Zhang Kang pulled at Ge Wei.

After entering the cave!

Zhang Kang's head was dizzy; she let go of Ge Wei and lay to the side panting.

The devils' artillery fire has stopped.

"All battalions, count your numbers immediately!"

The devils' artillery fire was extremely fierce, but the Sichuan Army fought to the death and did not retreat.

Speaking of this, Yu Hua paused, looking at Ge Wei.

"I intend to abandon the Field Position outside the city and pull all troops back into the city."

In the cold month of October, the Sichuan Army soldiers were still wearing short shirts and thin clothes while fighting the devils.

After a count, there were only three hundred soldiers left who could still run.

After Xiang Wenbin finished these few sentences, his hand slipped from Yu Hua's hand.

Xiang Wenbin gripped Yu Hua's palm tightly, "Promise me!"

The only way is to change the fighting method.

Taking advantage of the moment Ge Wei was stunned, Zhang Kang hugged her and rolled into the Anti-Artillery Cave.

"Second Lieutenant Yu, how do you want to fight the next battle?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Xiang Wenbin coughed several times in a row.

The cruelty of war was far more severe than she had imagined.

With a very flexible mind, the Sichuan Army's long defense of Dunwu Temple also owed credit to Yu Hua.

Let him breathe a little more comfortably!

"I... I... can't make it, don't waste your energy."

"The whole Regiment, prepare!"

"I am now appointing you as the Acting Company Commander of the 1st Company!"

Zhang Kang has now fallen into a coma.

Just then, a 75mm Field Gun shell landed not far from the two of them.

Facing such intense artillery fire from the devils, they did not shrink back.

"The 1st Battalion Commander was killed in action, two company commanders were killed in action, Zhang Kang is injured, the whole battalion still has two hundred men who can fight!"

Making it impossible for Zhang Kang to speak at all.

The 2nd Platoon Leader of the 1st Company, Zhang Zhiyun, shouted.

"Captain Ge, please take a squad of soldiers to transfer the seriously wounded to the city."

Ge Wei wondered, was the mission given to her by Section Chief Dai Chunfeng really correct?

The Sichuan Army?

The Sichuan Army soldiers hiding inside the Anti-Artillery Cave were suffocated to death just like that.

There weren't many people left anyway.

At this time, Ge Wei was taking care of Zhang Kang.

At the moment the 75mm Field Gun shell exploded, Zhang Kang pressed Ge Wei down beneath him.

The devils' Infantry Company was annihilated by the Sichuan Army, but the Sichuan Army on the position...

Such a tragic scene, even though Ge Wei had received very cruel training.

From the time she received cruel training until now, this was the first time someone had protected her.

"Zhang Kang... how are you?"

"I don't care how you fight!"

Those who failed to enter the Anti-Artillery Cave in time were also blown to death.

"I will definitely hold the position for you!"

Xiang Wenbin fell into a coma, and Yu Hua immediately had soldiers send him to the rear hospital!

"Regimental Commander!"

This time, the devils sent up an Infantry Company.

Regimental Commander Xiang Wenbin was seriously injured.

"You go into the Anti-Artillery Cave first!"

He wanted to speak, but his mouth felt as heavy as a thousand catties.

After the battle ended, Yu Hua came to Xiang Wenbin's side.

A piece of shrapnel grazed Zhang Kang's cheek, and blood flowed down instantly.

"Your broken Notebook, look for it later."

Yu Hua nodded heavily, "Regimental Commander, don't worry!"

This battle lasted for an hour.

"Just say I told you to go."

"Remember... we of the Sichuan Army left Sichuan for thousands of miles to risk our lives for the country."

The Dunwu Temple Position would not have suffered such a fierce attack either.

"The position must not be lost in the hands of our Sichuan Army!"

"Yu Hua... I'm afraid I'm not going to make it."

Ge Wei hurriedly tore off the shirt inside her military uniform.

Seeing all this, Ge Wei's heart felt as if it had been fiercely pricked by something.

The 2nd Battalion and 3rd Battalion also reported that the two battalions still had five hundred men.

The devil soldiers raised their guns to counterattack, with their Mortars and Type 92 Infantry Guns behind them.

Feeling the warm blood on her cheek, cracks gradually appeared in Ge Wei's frozen heart.

Outside the Anti-Artillery Cave!

The devils' artillery fire was still very fierce, and many Sichuan Army soldiers.

"The Sichuan Army is engaging the devils in Urban Warfare!"

After saying this, Yu Hua saw that Ge Wei's expression was normal, and he also felt a bit of doubt in his heart.
