Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 47 Combat Battalion Deployed! Chu Feng: "They've entered the stronghold? Let'

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Chu Yunfei chuckled and said, "I, Yunfei, am here to be a student. I've only brought my ears and eyes."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Haha, since Brother Yunfei is unwilling to teach me, then I won't force him."

The two exchanged words for a while, and then Li Yunlong, thinking of something, added, "However, this matter can only be said to be tentative; whether or not we will fight is uncertain."

"Oh?"

Chu Yunfei was taken aback.

Li Yunlong said with a somewhat helpless expression, "Because the people who have their eyes on the Huting stronghold are not only me, Li Yunlong, but also our brother unit, the guard regiment commander Chu Feng."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfei exclaimed, "Chu Feng? That name sounds familiar."

Zhao Gang, who hadn't spoken until now, smiled and said, "Commander Chu should have heard about the battle of the Yamazaki Battalion last time. It was Commander Chu who led the first men to discover the Yamazaki Battalion, and then a company of them withstood the attack of the Yamazaki Battalion and repelled them, even killing the battalion commander."

Upon hearing Zhao Gang's introduction, Chu Yunfei suddenly realized, "Oh, it's him! No wonder his name sounded so familiar."

At this point, he smiled and explained to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, "When I came here this time, I asked if there was a chance to meet this Commander Chu. After all, his surname is Chu, and mine is Chu. We are from the same clan."

"However, your army's commander said that due to some reasons, this request cannot be granted." Chu Yunfei shook his head with some regret as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes but remained silent, while Zhao Gang smiled and chimed in, "The leaders must have their own considerations."

After the chat ended, Chu Yunfei went about his business as usual.

Headquarters of the Guard Regiment.

Chu Feng calculated the time and knew it was about time, so he decisively led his troops to join up with the Second Company.

"Commander, are we going to fight the Japanese?"

Company Commander Huang Zhenggong asked.

"Um!"

Chu Feng didn't explain much. After seeing that the troops had assembled, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, enough talk. I'll explain everything when we get there. Let's go."

At the command, the guard regiment's combat battalion quickly set out, heading straight for the location of the Second Company.

Independent Regiment!

"Old Li, aren't you going to the General Logistics Department?" Political Commissar Zhao Gang was a little surprised to see Li Yunlong still there, after all, he was the one who shouted the loudest last night.

Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "The enemy situation is unclear right now. Let's wait and see what happens before making a decision."

As he spoke, he added somewhat dejectedly, "Ugh, this Chu Feng, damn it, I don't know what to do with him."

To be honest, Li Yunlong has such a reckless and unruly personality.

It would be difficult to make him suffer a loss, but he was also a bit at a loss when it came to Chu Feng.

If Chu Feng were his old comrade-in-arms, Li Yunlong would have gone straight over and cursed without hesitation. Why was he so aggrieved?

But without that connection, not everyone buys into his act.

Of course, after discovering the situation, Li Yunlong asked Zhang Dabiao to go to Zhang Mieri to express the Independent Regiment's interest in the Huting stronghold.

Even after they laid their cards on the table, the Second Company still refused to withdraw.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong knew that the ownership of the Huting stronghold depended on who had better luck.

11:00 AM!

Chu Feng led the main force of the combat battalion to rendezvous with the Second Company.

"Report to the commander: Our reconnaissance unit in the direction of the county town has sent a message that they have spotted a Japanese force of several hundred men heading towards the Huting stronghold."

Upon meeting, before Chu Feng could even ask any questions, Second Company Commander Zhang Mieri began to report.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng immediately understood that this was likely the Japanese North China battlefield observation group, but he still feigned surprise: "Have you found out who these Japanese are?"

Zhang Mierui shook his head upon hearing this: "No!"

"Then let's wait and see!"

Chu Feng wasn't angry. He waved his hand and said, "Let's observe carefully. Since they're heading towards the Tiger Pavilion stronghold, let's wait and see."

At this point, Chu Feng seemed to remember something and asked with a smile, "What's the situation with the Independent Regiment?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mier's eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully, "Regimental Commander, Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander of the Independent Regiment, has been looking for me."

"They indicated that they had their eye on the Huting stronghold and hoped we could give it to them."

At this point, Zhang Mieri said smugly, "We've got our eyes on it too. How could we let them? Just say it's our commander's order."

"Um!"

Chu Feng was very satisfied with Zhang Mieri's answer and patted him on the shoulder: "Well done, that's how it should be!"

He came here specifically to intercept Li Yunlong's battlefield observation group, so how could he give up so easily?

Then, the troops lay in ambush around the Huting stronghold.

Not far from the Huting stronghold, Li Yunlong also led a battalion, sneaking over stealthily.

Time flies!

Before we knew it, it was noon.

"Commander, Commander!"

Chu Feng, who was reading a book and smoking, was interrupted.

"The train convoy has entered the Huting stronghold."

The man excitedly said, "The company commander sent me to get you." At this, the soldier seemed to realize something: "With the arrival of this convoy, the entire Huting outpost has been placed under martial law."

"The company commander guessed that there must be an important person involved."

Chu Feng immediately put down his book and said directly, "Order each company to prepare for battle." After saying that, he hurriedly joined up with the second company commander.

Then, he picked up the binoculars and began to examine the area.

After observing for a few minutes and finding nothing, they retreated.

"Everyone knows the situation!"

Looking at the crowd, Chu Feng's voice rang out: "Although it's unclear whether it's a person or something else, anything that can make the Japanese so nervous is definitely not an ordinary thing."

As he spoke, he pointed to the Huting stronghold on the battle map.

"No doubt about it!"

"Since they won't come out, let's launch an attack!"

"Kill them, take them down, charge in, and we'll find out what it is!"

At this point, Chu Feng said, "Second Company, attack from the front; First and Third Companies, attack from the flanks and block the Japanese retreat."

"This is a tough battle. In addition to artillery fire, you've also tried using flamethrowers these past two days."

"This battle will be just the right time to put it to use."

As he spoke, he looked at the artillery company: "Are you confident you can open a path for the troops to advance?"

Upon hearing Chu Feng's words, artillery company commander Zeng Niuda immediately shouted, "Regimental commander, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

The cold treatment of a battle caused Zeng Niu Da's attitude to undergo a complete 360-degree change.

"Um!"

Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction and looked at the group of company commanders, saying, "This battle must be fought quickly and decisively, without any delay."

"Don't be afraid or worried about the consumption of ammunition. The million rounds of ammunition and tens of thousands of shells we captured this time are enough for you to squander."

After saying that, he glanced at his watch: "Fifteen minutes from now, the artillery will open fire, and the battle will begin."

The group responded and quickly turned to leave, rejoining their unit.

Meanwhile, Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, and the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment, who were lying in ambush not far from the Huting stronghold, were desperately looking in the direction of the Huting stronghold, waiting for the situation they wanted to see to occur.

As for the guard regiment that is regarded as a competitor, it has not been seen so far, as for reconnaissance?

It's difficult to get close now, so it's not very clear.

Just as Li Yunlong was getting anxious, thinking, "Damn it, why is there still no movement?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud explosion was heard in the distance.

"boom!!!"

Everyone was stunned at first, their eyes widening in disbelief.
