Chapter 49: Dispatch Reinforcements as Soon as Possible (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

Zhang Yunhao patted Zhao Zuo on the shoulder, "You decode it first!"

"The department head just sent us some patterns they found for decoding the devils' telegrams."

"You try it first and see if you can crack it!"

After a pause, Zhang Yunhao continued, "We'll prepare for both scenarios!"

"I'm going to go ask the Sichuan Army 20th Army now!"

"See if they have any major battle results!"

Zhang Yunhao placed a call to the 19th Group Army Headquarters in the Third War Zone.

"This can't be blamed on the Guangxi Army either."

"Without reinforcements, this defensive line will be overrun by the devils sooner or later."

"Why is the Guangxi Army tossing and turning so much?"

"The 1st Regiment now has three hundred men left, a force of two companies."

"The Guangxi Army is known as the Steel Army, after all!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Sen stood at attention: "Commander Xue!"

Xue Laohu's Adjutant immediately stood out: "Present!"

He had originally thought that Xiang Wenbin's regiment had always fought well and the unit's casualties were relatively low!

"Regarding the issue of battle results you just mentioned, this morning."

"The battle results you just asked about, this morning!"

There are only two companies of soldiers defending, and the little devils have an entire brigade.

The Communications Soldier of the 19th Group Army.

The situation of the 1st Regiment is now about the same as the 2nd Regiment.

Upon hearing this, the Adjutant frowned slightly and walked quickly to Xue Laohu's side.

"Before reinforcements arrive, the Dunwu Temple Position must be held to the death for me."

"I have no more troops to deploy in my hands; I implore Commander Xue to dispatch reinforcements as soon as possible."

"By the way, Army Commander Yang!"

They all fought quite well, not as unbearable as the warlord infighting within the province.

"The devils' telegrams intercepted by the Special Service Corps have mentioned Dunwu Temple many times!"

After receiving the inquiry from the Special Service Corps, he immediately summoned Commander Xue's Adjutant.

"This command post is very likely at the regiment level; because the distance is too far, the battle results cannot be confirmed for the time being."

"Contact Yang Sen's 20th Army immediately!"

Xue Laohu paced back and forth anxiously in the command post.

The devils' radio station has mentioned Dunwu Temple many times.

"When will the reinforcements arrive?"

Currently, only Ge Wei and a few Communications Soldiers are left guarding the Regiment Headquarters.

The Adjutant looked troubled; he knew that Commander Xue was also very annoyed right now.

After the Communications Soldier finished speaking, Yang Sen stopped what he was doing.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Laohu's expression did not look very good either.

"The Regiment Commander is seriously injured, and the Deputy Regiment Commander has been killed in action."

Upon hearing this, Xue Laohu's expression became even uglier.

"Commander Xue, we received a call from the Shanghai Special Operations Unit."

Having just arrived at the Songhu Battlefield a few days ago, they have managed to achieve two battle results.

Yang Sen was currently checking the positions of various regiments on the front line on a map with his Chief of Staff, Xian Guangjun.

After all!

"We of the Sichuan Army left Sichuan with the vow to never retreat; if we die, we die on the position."

However, at the moment, he had no more troops to deploy.

"The trucks are basically all being used to transport Principal's direct-line troops right now!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Laohu nodded: "Fine!"

"The one currently commanding the troops is Yu Hua, Company Commander Yu."

"Company Commander Yu was promoted by Regiment Commander Xiang Wenbin while he was unconscious."

On the other end of the phone, when Yang Sen heard this, his heart went cold.

"As long as the people are there, the position is there!"

"Casualties among company and battalion-level officers are heavy."

"Who is in command?"

Yang Sen was in a very good mood; since his troops arrived at the Songhu Battlefield.

"Hurry up and tell me!"

"Call the Xiang Wenbin regiment for me!"

Ge Wei stepped forward and picked up the phone.

"Reporting to the Army Commander!"

After Yang Sen stopped, Ge Wei cleared her throat and said: "Army Commander Yang!"

Only then did he continue: "Commander Xue!"

Before she could even speak, Yang Sen said heartily, "Hahaha..."

"Commander Xue has even come to ask about your regiment, what kind of battle result you've achieved this time."

"What!" Yang exclaimed in astonishment: "Who are you?"

"Company Commander Yu Hua... directed the troops and had the artillery bombard the devils' command post."

"Relying entirely on their own two feet to walk, just like the Sichuan Army."

"Because the devils' command post is deep in the rear, the battle results cannot be confirmed."

"Regimental Commander Xiang Wenbin is seriously wounded, and Deputy Regiment Commander Xie Linfeng has been killed in action."

"Under the command of Company Commander Yu, the Sichuan Army wiped out a devils' command post with one shell."

The Regimental Commander is seriously wounded; the casualties of the unit must be significant.

"It makes my heart itch!"

On the other end of the phone, Yang was silent for a short while.

"Inspector Captain Ge Wei, please relay this to Company Commander Yu Hua!"

Yang personally came to the communications office, and the Communications Soldier placed a call to Xiang Wenbin's regiment.

"The level of this command post, is it very likely to be at the regiment level?"

Just as Ge Wei was about to speak, Yang continued.

"Xiang Wenbin, you rascal have brought honor to me again!"

The matter of Yu Hua having Yu Dazhu shell the devils' command post and achieving results.

"Damn it..."

He said without looking back: "Read it!"

Having said that!

Yang hung up the phone!

The situation at Dunwu Temple is now very serious.

"Can the position be held!"

"Ask the Sichuan Army at Dunwu Temple if they have reported any relevant battle results."

"I already know the situation!"

"I have no reinforcements left; I will report the situation at Dunwu Temple to Commander Xue."

"According to yesterday's telegram, they have already arrived in Hecheng; the earliest they can reach the war zone is tomorrow."

The Adjutant stood straight and said: "Report to Commander Xue!"

Xue Laohu is becoming more and more interested in the Sichuan Army at Dunwu Temple now.

"I will try my best to coordinate reinforcements."

"It is hard for them too; from Guangxi Province to the Songhu Battlefield, it is over a thousand kilometers."

"Received a telegram from the Group Army Headquarters."

"Interesting!"

After reporting the situation at Dunwu Temple, Yang paused for a moment.

Ever since Xiang Wenbin's regiment killed the devils' Prince's son last time.

Ge Wei also just found out and was preparing to report it to the Brigade headquarters.

"How does this expect me to lead troops in battle!"

"I have already issued a death order to the Sichuan Army for the Dunwu Temple Position."

The 20th Army and Xiang Wenbin's regiment established a dedicated line.

"I am Inspector Captain Ge Wei of the Special Service Corps!" Ge Wei said softly at the Regiment Headquarters.

Hearing his Adjutant's words, his eyes lit up.

After exhaling a long breath of stale air, Yang spoke.

It is estimated that after one round of shelling, the soldiers of these two companies will be killed in action.

"There are only two companies left on the position now."

Xue Laohu, who was watching the map.

At the Regiment Headquarters, Ge Wei also began to report the battle situation.

As for the results achieved by the 1st Regiment, Yang also kept them in mind.

"Yes!" Xue Laohu's Adjutant saluted respectfully and turned to leave.

Xiang Wenbin still hasn't requested reinforcements from above.

Dunwu Temple!

The phone at the 1st Regiment's Regiment Headquarters rang.

"Report to Army Commander Yang!"

"They just arrived in Hecheng; even with a forced march to the war zone, it will take two days!"

"What time is it now, and they've only just reached Hecheng."

"Army Commander, the Group Army Headquarters is asking our army about the battle results at Dunwu Temple!"

"Commander Xue, this Steel Army is also made of flesh and blood!"

"I am Xue Laohu, Army Commander Yang, speak directly if you have something to say."

He stood up, his eyes bright and piercing.

"The intelligence department in Shanghai intercepted a telegram from the devils, which mentions Dunwu Temple multiple times."

Yang made the call to Xue Laohu.

"The situation at Dunwu Temple is very bad now, one regiment of my Sichuan Army."

After finishing the introduction of the situation of the 1st Regiment of the Sichuan Army, Ge Wei reported again.

"Adjutant!"

Nanxiang Railway Station!

Yang Sen's military headquarters was established here.

Xue Laohu let out a long sigh, "Back when we were fighting the warlords in the north!"

The Adjutant stepped forward and said cautiously, "Commander Xue!"

"This Xiang Wenbin is truly formidable, he has achieved battle results once again!"

"Connect me to Commander Xue!"

"Regimental Commander Xiang Wenbin is seriously wounded and is currently in a coma!"

"The unit has suffered heavy casualties, and even the battalion-level officers have basically all been killed in action."

Who would have known that the Regimental Commander would be seriously wounded and in a coma.

"Captain Zhang asked me to inquire if there have been any more battle results reported from the Dunwu Temple Position?"

"The little devils' radio stations are frequently transmitting telegrams again."

The reserve troops in hand were all pulled up last night.

"Captain Ge Wei, how many people are left in the 1st Regiment now?"

Group Army Headquarters.

Everyone lowered their heads one after another, not daring to meet Commander Xue's gaze.
