Chief of Staff Lin Zhiqiang did not agree.
The strength of the two sides was almost one to one, while the Japanese troops' quality and equipment were even better than theirs.
Go and intercept them?
Wasn't that a money-losing deal?
But Chu Yunfei had already made his decision. After a few simple explanations, he ordered the troops to begin moving.
However, just as his troops entered their positions, they discovered that Li Yunlong's troops had already arrived.
And
they had already begun exchanging fire with the Japanese army.
Li Yunlong's force sent to block the reinforcements could be called extremely shabby.
The Independent Regiment's First Company, plus the county battalion and district squad.
Only a few hundred men in all.
A few hundred men against several thousand?
Were they courting death?!
When Chu Yunfei saw this scene, he immediately sighed.
He knew the temperament of the troops Li Yunlong had ground into shape.
Since they had decided to stop the reinforcements, they would definitely stake everything to complete the mission.
This force of a few hundred men—
by the end, there probably wouldn't be a single one left.
Moreover, "I can't help you much, but at the very least, I'll help you hold them back a little longer."
Chu Yunfei said silently in his heart.
To die in battle
was a soldier's fate.
It was also a soldier's highest honor.
Boom!
At that moment, the Japanese army had already opened fire.
All kinds of heavy guns, such as mountain guns, infantry guns, rapid-fire guns, and more, blasted out like a torrential downpour, landing on the position and exploding fiercely.
There were also light machine guns and heavy machine guns, spitting tongues of flame and pouring out death.
They adopted a method of battalions taking turns attacking.
One battalion charged forward, attacked for a period of time, then withdrew.
Then another battalion took its place.
One regiment, three infantry battalions—this kind of rotating assault ensured that every moment, they were attacking the Independent Regiment's position with ferocious force.
This was a true meat grinder!
Blood splashed in all directions, and lives vanished.
Chu Yunfei could almost no longer hold himself back from going up to reinforce them.
But the space on the position was limited.
If his troops went up, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment would have to come down.
Chu Yunfei knew that with the pride of Li Yunlong's troops, unless it was down to the last man, they would absolutely never withdraw from the position.
He looked at that distant scene where cannon fire raged to the heavens.
His entire body fell silent.
He stood there for a long, long time.
Then, suddenly, at that moment—
Whoosh!
From within the Independent Regiment's position, a resplendent ray of light shot up into the sky.
It was not the light of gunfire, nor the light of cannon fire.
It was a wondrous light, almost like blazing sunlight spilling down through a gap in the clouds—brilliant, bright, dazzling.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was drawn to that single beam of light.
Everyone's eyes fell on that beam of light.
Above the light and shadow.
In the void.
A human figure stood towering.
His clothes snapped and fluttered.
His eyes were like cold lightning.
It was Lin Ye!
"What is that thing? An immortal?"
Chu Yunfei was dumbfounded for a moment.
What was going on?
Across the land of China, there had always been tales of immortals and the like.
But Chu Yunfei had never believed them.
Otherwise, when the land of China was riddled with sores, why had those immortals never appeared?
Even if they had appeared, could they have withstood those cannon shells and giant warships?
But at this moment.
Seeing that figure.
Chu Yunfei was stunned.
Then, his convictions began to waver.
And just then, the Japanese regiment also reacted.
Faced with such an alien thing that had suddenly appeared.
Their first reaction was naturally to bombard it.
Boom boom boom!!!
Almost in an instant, a dozen-odd heavy cannons locked onto Lin Ye, and shells screamed out, bombarding toward him.
At that moment, a sword appeared in Lin Ye's hand.
He casually flung the sword out.
The longsword traced a brilliant arc of light through the air, sweeping past those shells shooting toward him.
And so.
The next instant.
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!
All the shells exploded within a hundred meters in front of Lin Ye.
They did not harm him in the slightest.
In that instant.
The entire battlefield, moments ago ablaze with cannon fire, fell silent.
Everyone stared at Lin Tian with horrified eyes.
What was going on?
He had split cannon shells apart with a sword?
He had used human strength to withstand the might of giant cannons?
And the next moment.
Something even more shocking happened.
!!!
Three more beams of light shot into the sky.
Brilliant, bright, dazzling.
Illuminating the heavens.
Uncle Nine, Li Mang, Wang Qiang.
They stood in the void, at Lin Ye's side.
The four figures looked down coldly at the Japanese regiment ahead.
Around their bodies.
There was actually a tangible pressure radiating outward.
It swept across the long sky.
The fierce wind howled and snapped, letting out a long, drawn-out cry.
"A divine being has descended, a divine being has descended."
Chu Yunfei muttered to himself.
Annihilating the Yamada Regiment
The commander of this Japanese regiment supporting Ping'an County Town was Yamada Haosen.
Colonel rank.
At this moment, as he moved to relieve Ping'an County Town, he was brimming with confidence.
For no other reason.
The Chinese army's weapons and equipment were far too poor, and the quality of its soldiers was lacking as well.
According to his plan, they would soon be able to charge into the county town and support the Yamamoto Special Operations Unit.
Yet the scene that appeared before his eyes left him stunned.
"Nani?"
He let out a scream that sounded almost like a breakdown, his face filled with horror and terror.
A sword.
It had actually slashed apart dozens of artillery shells in a single stroke.
Was that something a human could do?
It was simply too terrifying.
Unbelievable.
To think such a person existed among the Chinese—was this a divine being?
After standing dazed for a while, Yamada Haosen finally barely came back to his senses.
He looked at those figures high up in the firmament.
