  As the battle began, Yamamoto was full of confidence, but suddenly he felt that the mountain cannon had stopped firing. He hastily asked what was going on, and the soldier beside him said: "I don't know." Yamamoto said: "Hurry up and send someone to check it out." The soldier went and came back in a hurry, saying: "Commander, a cavalry regiment has secretly infiltrated our position, and all of our artillerymen have been killed. This cavalry regiment is also launching a fierce attack on the Yamada and Nagumo detachments, causing heavy casualties." As soon as Yamamoto heard this, he roared with anger: "Impossible! How could we not detect it at all? Where did this cavalry regiment come from? Did they emerge from underground or drop from the sky?" Yamamoto hastily took out his binoculars to observe from a distance. He was shocked by what he saw - a brave and fierce cavalry regiment had appeared out of nowhere, killing the Yamada and Nagumo detachments and leaving bodies scattered all over the field with blood flowing like rivers. The soldiers were crying and shouting in disarray, while this cavalry regiment charged through the Yamamoto unit as if it were unoccupied. Many soldiers fled in all directions, and those who failed to escape became victims of the cavalry's swords.

  This completely disrupted the formation of Yamamoto's troops, and the battlefield was in chaos. At this time, Liu Chenzhou's 11th Division took advantage of the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack, scaring Yamamoto so much that he sat on the ground with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape. Yamamoto's brain was racing quickly, Chen Gang's 13th Division had been tied down by the four battalions he had sent out, Nie Yongsheng's 12th Division had been scared away, and within a radius of 400 li, there were no other troops to be seen. But where did this cavalry regiment come from? Yamamoto was at a loss.

  Yamamoto, an old general who had experienced many battles, quickly stabilized his troops and prepared to launch a second round of attacks. However, just as he was about to do so, the 11th Division's artillery battalion suddenly launched a fierce bombardment against Yamamoto's position, leaving his troops reeling again. Yamamoto had once heard from Kuma's staff officer, Tani Masao, that the 11th Division had an extremely accurate artillery battalion with a high hit rate, but he didn't know what type of artillery it was.

  This time, when the 11th Division's artillery fire came, Yamamoto carefully observed the number of shells fired and the area bombarded. He quickly estimated that this was the firepower of an artillery battalion, so he immediately ordered his mountain artillery to destroy the 11th Division's artillery battalion.

  Yamamoto watched through binoculars as the 11th Division's artillery battalion was destroyed. But now, the 11th Division still had an artillery battalion. From the number and accuracy of the shells fired in a single burst, this was the artillery battalion mentioned by Tani Masao. The 11th Division's divine artillery battalion brought out the full power of its howitzers, while Yamamoto's machine gun positions continued to spew fire, with bullets sweeping across the 11th Division like a raging storm. But suddenly, row after row of howitzer shells seemed to have eyes, accurately landing on Yamamoto's machine gun positions, instantly blowing the Japanese soldiers into the air and smashing the machine guns into a heap of scrap metal. Later, the divine artillery battalion no longer fired in rows, but instead targeted specific light and heavy firepower locations, striking them with precision. Yamamoto was left staring in awe, realizing that this battle could not be won, and that continuing to fight would only lead to the annihilation of his entire division. He immediately ordered a retreat.

  The soldiers on the front line quickly retreated as soon as they heard the order to withdraw. Liu Chenzhou was overjoyed and immediately ordered his troops to pursue the enemy, taking advantage of their victory. The Sanben Shituan was defeated, and its army was in disarray. Liu Chenzhou knew that Sanben was a formidable opponent, so he decided to stop while they were ahead. He quickly sent an order to the Fei Hu Riding Cavalry Regiment to return immediately.

  Jiang Zhifei received the order and led the Fei Hu Riding Cavalry Regiment back to the 11th Division's position. As soon as he arrived, he dismounted his horse. At that moment, Qin Ming saw Jiang Zhifei arrive and rushed over to hug him, laughing and saying: "Jiang Zhifei, you little scamp, you've come just in time! If you had come a few days later, we wouldn't have been able to see each other again!"

  Liu Chenzhou walked over, smiling, and said: "Zhifei, you little rascal, I didn't expect you to attack Sanben from behind. Sanben didn't even notice it was happening! Not even I expected that!" Jiang Zhifei replied: "Sir, you don't know the whole story. Actually, everything was arranged by He Gang. We arrived last night, but it was too dark for our cavalry regiment to fight effectively. He Gang ordered us to wait until dawn and then sneak into Sanben's position during the artillery bombardment. The loud explosions would cover up the sound of our horses' hooves. He Gang's plan really caught those bastards off guard, and they were left reeling, not knowing what hit them!"

  At this time, Liu Chen Zhou walked over and punched He Gang's shoulder, laughing loudly: "Good kid He Gang, next time you have to be more careful when fighting. Although my 11th division suffered heavy casualties, Mountain Yamamoto is not much better off than us. This victory is all thanks to the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment. If it weren't for them completely disrupting Mountain Yamamoto's formation, we wouldn't have been able to win. If the battle had dragged on longer, I'm afraid my 11th division would have been annihilated. This time not only did we win, but we also beat the crap out of Mountain Yamamoto, causing him heavy casualties and injuries. Who knows, maybe he's even pissing his pants in fear." Everyone burst into laughter at this, and He Gang said with a smile: "Commander, my Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment brothers risked our lives to help our 11th division brothers break through the encirclement. You have to treat us to a big feast no matter what!" Thunder Fire Qin Ming chimed in, laughing: "Commander, this victory can be said to be entirely thanks to the efforts of the cavalry regiment brothers. Treating them to a big meal is the least we can do."

  Liu Chenzhou smiled and said, "Alright, I'll satisfy your requirements. However, there's really nothing good to eat here right now. Once we take down Qingzhou City, I'll make sure everyone has their fill of meat and fish." That night, Liu Chenzhou brought out fine wine and dishes to treat everyone. As they ate and chatted, Liu Chenzhou said, "Although we won this battle, it was a narrow victory. Our casualties were heavy. There are three unexpected factors that contributed to our win." Jiang Zhifei asked, "What three unexpected factors?" Liu Chenzhou replied, "First, the coincidence of circumstances; second, the sudden surprise attack; and third, the desperate counterattack." Qin Ming said, "Commander, can you explain it more clearly?" Liu Chenzhou said, "If I'm not mistaken, Yamamoto may have already seen through my plan to lure the enemy into a deep trap. Since Yamamoto was able to send out four elite battalions to intercept Chen Gang's 13th Division and then pretended to be desperate, it means he may have already understood our plan. But we were still complacent, unaware that we had fallen into Yamamoto's trap. Then, Yamamoto turned the tables on us, surrounding my 11th Division with heavy troops, intending to annihilate us in one fell swoop."

  Ge Wangshan said: "Then how could he lose so badly?" Liu Chenzhou said: "Shanben may have already known that our 11th Division has a well-trained and accurate artillery battalion, the 'Divine Artillery Battalion'. Shanben deliberately tried to destroy it, so he ordered his mountain artillery positions to launch a fierce attack on our 11th Division. Shanben was trying to provoke us into using the Divine Artillery Battalion to counterattack. At first, I ordered my infantry artillery battalion to counterattack, but unexpectedly, Shanben quickly grasped their position and destroyed them within half an hour. Later, I wanted to order the Divine Artillery Battalion to counterattack, but I soon realized that this was Shanben's trap, so I hastily ordered the Divine Artillery Battalion to hide and not fire without my command. Fortunately, they narrowly escaped disaster." He Gang said: "I understand now. Shanben successfully destroyed our infantry artillery battalion and mistakenly thought that the Divine Artillery Battalion had also been destroyed. Therefore, he boldly clashed with the 11th Division afterwards. Is this what you meant by 'a coincidence of circumstances'?"

  Liu Chen Zhou nodded and said, "That's right. Yamamoto has already scouted all the troops within a radius of 400 miles, and there are no other friendly forces within that range. Even if there were, they would be outside the 400-mile radius. So as long as Yamamoto surrounds our 11th Division, he can order his mountain artillery to bombard our positions wildly, and then command all his troops to launch a fierce attack on us. In this way, we won't be able to hold out for four days. Even if friendly forces come to rescue us, they will arrive four days later, by which time we will have been annihilated. But what Yamamoto didn't expect was that we still had a brave and powerful Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment. If Yamamoto knew about our Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment, he would have made preparations in advance, ambushed our cavalry regiment, and even if he couldn't annihilate it, at least disrupted the plan to rescue the 11th Division. So Yamamoto didn't expect that we still had a cavalry regiment, plus He Gang and Jiang Zhifei's clever and wise command, caught Yamamoto off guard, destroyed his mountain artillery positions, greatly weakening the killing power of Yamamoto's division. Because the Flying Tiger Cavalry Regiment was too brave, it completely disrupted Yamamoto's camp."

  Jiang Zhi Fei smiled and said, "This is what the commander meant by a surprise attack." Liu Chen Zhou nodded in agreement and continued, "Mountain is indeed a seasoned general. He quickly stabilized his camp and was able to counterattack with ease. This is something that ordinary generals cannot do. What he didn't expect was that my artillery battalion had been hiding all along, intact and unscathed. It wasn't until I heard that Mountain's artillery position had been destroyed that I dared to order the artillery battalion to launch a fierce counterattack." The artillery battalion played a huge role in the final battle, dealing massive damage and completely crushing Mountain's camp, as well as his mental defenses. In the end, Mountain was forced to flee in disarray.

  Chen Han Nian said, "So it seems that Mountain is not simple after all."

  Liu Chen Zhou replied, "That's right. If the Flying Tiger Cavalry hadn't launched a surprise attack, I think there would have been only one outcome: we would have held out for four days and then been completely annihilated. And if my mind hadn't been clear and calm at the time, and I had ordered the artillery battalion to counterattack immediately, I think it wouldn't have taken long for them to suffer a crushing defeat as well. Also, if Mountain hadn't mistakenly believed that our artillery battalion had been destroyed, he wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties either. So, this time we were able to win the battle mainly because of the Flying Tiger Cavalry's surprise attack, and also because their soldiers were too brave, plus our good luck."

  Jiang Zhi said: "It seems that Yamamoto is indeed a very cunning and formidable opponent." Gao Fei Xue said with a grin: "I didn't think so much, anyway, that damned Yamamoto was beaten to the point of rolling back in fear, his pants must have been wet from urine." He Guang immediately pulled Gao Fei Xue's clothes and said: "Fei Xue, as a girl, how can you speak so crudely?" Gao Fei Xue glared at him and said: "I'm happy, I like it, do you care?" Gao Hua heard this and laughed almost to the point of spitting out her food, everyone else also burst into laughter. Qin Ming said: "He Guang brother, I represent the brothers of the Third Regiment to toast you a glass of wine, let me drink first." Qin Ming downed his glass in one gulp, He Guang couldn't decline and also finished his glass. We said: "He Guang brother, this time we owe it to the Flying Tiger Cavalry Team for coming to our rescue, otherwise our brothers from the Eleventh Regiment would have been done for." I toasted you another glass of wine. Qin Ming picked up another glass of wine and downed it again, He Guang had no choice but to drink another glass of wine as well. Qin Ming said: "He Guang brother, are you married?" He Guang smiled and said: "I've always been busy with work, so I never had time to find a partner." Qin Ming said: "I heard that Yamamoto has a daughter named Yamamoto Meiui, she's very beautiful, a standard beauty. Next time if we fight against Yamamoto again, I'll definitely capture Yamamoto Meiui and give her to you as your wife, how about that?"

  Everyone burst out laughing, but Gao Feixue immediately became furious. "I'm telling you, Qin Ming," she said, "since that Japanese woman is so beautiful, I think you should just stay with her yourself. Don't worry about being taken advantage of." With that, Gao Feixue stormed off in a huff. Qin Ming was left bewildered, thinking to himself, "I wasn't even joking with her, why did she get so angry?" Gao Hu saw the situation and quickly intervened, saying, "Qin Ming, I'm really sorry about this. My sister has been spoiled since childhood and is very willful. Please don't take it seriously." Jiang Zhifei also chimed in to mediate, saying, "Come on, let's just drink and forget about her."
