Chapter 108: Counterattack


"Quickly, get moving!"

The artillerymen, who were originally resting, hurriedly took their combat positions under the continuous urging.

"Coordinates confirmed, range 3-5-4-1, bearing 6-2-7-4!"

"Repeat coordinates, range 3-5-4-1, bearing 6-2-7-4, fire one!"

Bang!

Following the successful test shot hitting the target, a message quickly came through on the radio, "All battalions, rapid fire!"

With the order issued, shells were loaded into the barrels, then soared straight toward the target camp.

Meanwhile, the reconnaissance soldiers inspecting the enemy artillery battalion quickly saw countless flashes of fire appear.

A barrage of shells flew into the opponent's artillery camp, instantly causing a series of explosions, some shells being detonated amid the bombardment.

In just an instant, the enemy's artillery camp turned into a sea of fire.

"Team 2, what's your situation over there?"

Watching the artillery battalion in front turn into a sea of fire, Qi Ming's face lit up with joy, then he quickly contacted Team 2.

They currently only had two artillery battalions, so they simultaneously bombarded the opponent's two battalions.

As long as they take out the opponent's two artillery battalions, they can clear the remaining one.

"Team 1, this is Team 2, the battalion's been destroyed!"

Team 2's voice immediately came over the radio.

Upon receiving the news, Qi Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "Team 3, you're in command of the artillery battalion now, take them out!"

The opponent only has three artillery battalions in total; eliminating these three would significantly reduce the firepower gap between us!

Although their tanks are more numerous, as long as we have more artillery, the difference can be compensated.

Team 3 received the message and immediately began reporting the coordinates of the opponent's third artillery battalion.

....

"Where's the artillery? Why haven't they started the bombardment yet?"

At Pingchuan Valley, multiple bombardments had already occurred, and the attack had continued for a day.

To his surprise, the forces they discovered indicated that the opponent only had one group here.

Just this one group's strength, incredibly resisting them for a whole day, was hard for him to accept.

After successive attacks, from day to night.

By now, both sides were somewhat exhausted, but he believed the opponent's group would surely be the first to crumble.

He immediately arranged for the artillery battalion to continue the bombardment of the opponent.

But so much time had passed since the command was issued; by now, the battalion should be in position, executing the order to bombard.

Why had there been no movement for so long?

"It's not good!"

As he was puzzled, a communications officer suddenly rushed out and hurriedly reported to the commander.

"Commander, all three of our artillery battalions were hit by intense shelling, all three are gone!"

The communications officer panted, reporting with a tense expression.

"How is that possible? I just ordered the artillery battalion to fire; by the time they're in position, how could they be wiped out?"

Guo Tianzhi froze momentarily, then his face turned to fury.

He had just issued orders for the artillery battalion to provide suppression fire, and the battalion was wiped out? All of them?

"Commander, it's been confirmed, they really are all gone."

The communications officer said cautiously beside him.

With all three artillery battalions gone, there's a huge problem here.

Guo Tianzhi took a deep breath, clenching his teeth.

"How did those reconnaissance soldiers get behind us?"

On the front line, he had set countless checkpoints, how could the enemy have reached behind them?

The communications officer fell silent at this, as he had no idea either.

All three artillery battalions going down must mean reconnaissance soldiers infiltrated the rear.

Additionally, why were all three artillery battalions discovered simultaneously, why?

When did their reconnaissance become so powerful?

Guo Tianzhi looked at the forward positions, feeling a bit uneasy.

"By the way, the group that's holding this position, have we figured out which of the enemy's group it is?"

After some thought, Guo Tianzhi pushed down his unease and began to inquire about information on the opposing side.

Earlier, he had no intention to inquire, as the 14th Army had started to retreat, and during this time, he knew very clearly how much the opponent had lost.

The opponent had already lost to such an extent, he naturally thought there was no need to know much.

This location in Pingchuan Valley was originally difficult to defend, and winning it should have been simple.

However, after today's battle, the opponent's defense was truly formidable, his soldiers charged repeatedly without taking the place.

"Report, the group holding this position is Wanshi Group."

"Wanshi Group?"

Guo Tianzhi frowned, "Isn't it the group with a desertion rate over fifty percent during battle?"

He thought carefully, there seemed to be such a group.

In previous encounters, the opponent's defensive ability was actually quite good; it was just that soldiers there too easily became deserters.

Moreover, causing a chain reaction.

The desertions would lead to a large-scale retreat.

Eventually, the entire group would abandon their positions.

"It's them!"

Guo Tianzhi confirmed thrice that it was indeed Wanshi Group confronting him, and he finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Good, good! If it's them, then no need to worry."

"Let people retreat, rest!"

If it's Wanshi Group, there's no need to fight so desperately; just wait a while, and the opponent will naturally collapse due to desertion.

After that, we can easily take this position.

Even though there was an unexpected event, and the three artillery battalions were lost, they still have planes.

At dawn tomorrow, let the planes carry out a carpet bombing raid to expedite the enemy's retreat!

After Guo Tianzhi finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the end of the day's battle.

And Pingchuan Valley began to quiet down because of the enemy's retreat.

On the first day, the Wanshi Group held its ground.

Upon realizing this, Zhou Yingting's adjutants also breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a vague sense of worry in their hearts.

They held their ground now, but what about later?

Judging by the Wanshi Group's tradition, will the other side not have any deserters?

Thinking of this, the adjutant beside him became anxious.

By contrast, Zhou Yingting felt relieved after receiving the news that the three artillery battalions had been completely destroyed.

On his small map, those three red dots had disappeared.

Tomorrow, it will be their turn to start bombing the enemy.

.....

The next day.

The adjutant came to Zhou Yingting's side, "Conductor Zhou, let's go to the frontline and take a look."

Since there hadn't been any fighting on the frontline yet, he wanted to go and ensure that there were no deserters in the Wanshi Group.

"You want the commander to go to the front line, what if something happens?"

Cen Kewan, standing nearby, immediately retorted upon hearing this.

Zhou Yingting is in command now and if the enemy finds out, they will definitely launch an attack.

Artillery shells don't see, and if they fall, they're unstoppable.

Cen Kewan could see that whether they could win this battle really depended on Zhou Yingting.

The adjutant was momentarily stunned and hesitated, "But wasn't it said that the enemy's artillery battalions are gone?"

Cen Kewan frowned, "Even so, going to the frontline is too dangerous."

After the last bombing, she still had lingering fears.

"You go, just let the Wanshi Group know I'm right behind them."

Zhou Yingting did not want to go to the frontline either. Although the enemy's artillery battalions were gone, he wasn't sure if their airfield was dealt with.

To be safe, it's better not to go.

According to the articles, as long as he stays within a thousand meters behind the Wanshi Group, there won't be any deserters.

Right now, he's within a thousand meters of the enemy, so theoretically, there shouldn't be any deserters.

If there are deserters, then he'll go take a look at the Wanshi Group's position.

The adjutant, hearing Zhou Yingting's words, thought for a moment and agreed.

The commander's safety is indeed more important. If he brings the commander to the front line and something happens, he won't be able to bear the responsibility.

It's not far from the frontline here, and the adjutant spent some time getting to the Wanshi Group's position.

Soon, he found the commander of the Wanshi Group.

"How's the defense holding? The commander specifically sent me to inspect."

The adjutant did not directly say he was supervising, just that he was sent by the commander for reassurance.

The Wanshi Group's commander, upon hearing this, blushed, "Rest assured, Commander. Our Wanshi Group will definitely hold the position, no deserters at all!"

The adjutant was relieved to hear this, then looked at the other side with a strange expression.

Previously, the probability of deserters was high here; why are there none today?

Logically, after the first day, there should have been a large number of deserters here.

Why are there none this time? Could it be because the commander was changed?

With curiosity in his eyes, the adjutant asked, "What are your casualties?"

Yesterday, when they observed from afar, at least ten thousand enemy forces attacked.

And on their side, only just over two thousand people defended, with their numbers nearly five times less.

Plus, there was all sorts of artillery bombardment yesterday.

"Report, our group's casualties were sixteen, and we killed thirteen hundred enemy soldiers!"

The Wanshi Group's commander was proud when he said this.

Yesterday's battle was definitely the peak battle of his life!

Facing an enemy five times their number, not only did they hold their ground, but they also killed thirteen hundred enemy soldiers!

Such a record could rank high anywhere!

"Very good, very good!"

The adjutant was momentarily shocked by the casualty ratio.

This Wanshi Group, its combat power is surprisingly formidable?

In the past, how could he not have known?

He only knew that if the enemy's number was greater, the Wanshi Group almost always fled.

This time, not only did they not flee, but they also killed so many enemy soldiers.

"Rest assured, hold your position, the commander is right behind you, and last night the commander destroyed three of the enemy's artillery battalions. Your pressures will be greatly reduced."

"Our artillery can support you without worry now."

The adjutant was beaming, with just over two thousand people, they managed to hold this place so securely, amazing!

Indeed, as long as the Wanshi Group doesn't desert, their combat power is genuinely formidable.

No wonder the Wanshi Group lost several positions before and still wasn't abandoned.

"Yes!"

The commander in front immediately raised his head and loudly responded, knowing Zhou Yingting was supervising from behind, and now that there was artillery support, they felt reassured.

....

Command post.

Zhou Yingting looked at the sand table in front of him, reallocated the enemy's forces, then handed a piece of paper to the communications officer beside him, instructing him to pass the message to Qi Ming and the others.

After knocking out the enemy's three artillery battalions, the enemy began a large-scale search for them.

Based on the intelligence on his side, Zhou Yingting relayed the enemy's checkpoint information so that they could evade the search.
