I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

At the position of the 2nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion.

Guo Youqing led his soldiers to help his comrades in the first battalion to annihilate the Japanese first regiment, and then moved to another position.

Thanks to the sufficient time and manpower for the previous battle preparations, they were able to have three burrows!

Just as the artillery position was set up on the new position, an observation post shouted to Guo Youqing:

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese have appeared again over at the first battalion's position!"

They didn't know that the soldiers from the third battalion had replaced the first battalion on the position over there.

Upon hearing this, Guo Youqing picked up the telescope and took a look. He was immediately excited:
"Very good!

The Japanese are here to deliver food to us again!
Damn it, there are still quite a few of them!"

Then he shouted:

"Comrades, everyone, prepare for the bombardment!"

Hearing his order, the soldiers immediately began to check the gun barrels, adjust the gun positions, and prepare to load ammunition...

……

On the Japanese side, Yoshino Hideki led the 49th Regiment of about 3000 people to climb up the ridge. He did not let the soldiers rush forward immediately, but asked them to lie on the ground and catch their breath.

After all, it took a lot of effort to climb from the road to the ridge with a relative altitude of one or two hundred meters.

He himself, together with Colonel Takuma Nomura, commander of the 49th Regiment, used binoculars to observe the situation on the battlefield ahead.

When he saw the battlefield on the ridge, which was littered with corpses in shit-yellow military uniforms, blood had soaked the weeds and soil, and the smell of blood was overwhelming, Yoshino Hideki couldn't help but burst into anger again.

He has been on the battlefield for so many years, how could he have ever suffered such a big loss?

An entire regiment was annihilated in battle. This was extremely rare not only in his First Brigade, but also in the First Division and even the entire Liaodong Army.

Suddenly, he even remembered facing the Russians in Nomonhan in 39.

At that time, they were crushed by the Russian planes and tanks, and suffered losses one wing after another!
It's just like a nightmare!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn pale.

I muttered to myself: Are we going to suffer another Nomonhan-style defeat this time?
hiss……

How can that be possible!!!

When Nomura Takuma saw the scene on the battlefield, he secretly groaned and felt like giving up.

The commander of the 1st Regiment, Koji Uchida, was destroyed along with his troops, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistake!

Noticing Yoshino Hideki's pale face, he rolled his eyes and quickly suggested:

"Your Excellency, it would be too reckless for us to just rush over like this.

I think we should send a small force to bypass the valley in the south and attack the rear of the Tubalu Army to weaken their trench advantage!"

When Yoshino Hideki heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He immediately raised the telescope and looked towards the mountains in the south.

After a moment, he frowned and said:
“It’s only an hour until dark. The cliff to the south is very steep. It will take a lot of effort to climb down from this ridge.

It’s impossible to realize your idea!”

"So, Mr. Brigade Commander, what do you mean?"

Nomura Takuma was somewhat unhappy that his idea was rejected, so he quickly asked with a stern face.

He muttered to himself: I want to see what insights you, the brigade commander, have!
"First, arrange a squadron to crawl forward and attack to test the situation of the Eighth Route Army and see if there is any chance.

If not, let’s talk about it tomorrow morning!”

Yoshino Hideki pondered.

The reason why he decided to lead his men to charge was simply to take advantage of the fact that one battalion of soldiers might have exhausted their ammunition and physical strength.

Who really wants to lead people in a life-and-death fight?
It is better to be transferred to the reserve force due to a command error than to lose one's life!
He could still carry it clearly.

However, he could never have imagined that the one facing them now was no longer the exhausted First Battalion after a long battle, but the Third Battalion of fresh troops.

……

Hearing that this guy decided to send a squadron to test it first, Takuma Nomura felt slightly relieved.

It is my greatest luck that this guy didn't let me lead others to attack.

But in his heart, he couldn't help but despise the other person, thinking that he was not really as brave as he appeared.

……

While complaining in his heart, Nomura Takuma waved and called the captain of his first squadron, the first battalion, Takusuke Hamada:

"Hamada-kun, take your men and crawl forward to test those rats ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Takusuke Hamada secretly groaned in his heart.

This kind of pioneering work is so damn dangerous!

He really doesn't want to go!

But on the battlefield, he had no room for bargaining.

Not daring to show the slightest sign of rejection, he could only nod with a bitter face:
"Hey! I'll be there right away!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran back to his team, shouting:
"Warriors of the First Squadron, the time has come to serve His Majesty the Heavenly Locust!
Get up immediately and prepare to fight!"

More than a hundred Japanese soldiers heard his shouting and immediately stood up, checked their equipment and prepared for battle.

……

After a while, they began to form a skirmish formation and, under the leadership of Takusuke Hamada, rushed towards the position of the Third Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

——Although Nomura Takuma’s order was to crawl forward, it is impossible to start crawling from 3 kilometers away, right?

If we keep climbing like that until dark, we won’t be able to reach the third battalion’s position.

……

On the position of the Third Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, the observation post saw the movement of the Japanese and immediately rushed over to report to Wang Quanfa:

"Battalion Commander, the Japs are coming."

Wang Quanfa nodded, holding the telescope with his only hand and observing continuously, while calmly giving the order:

“Order the artillery battery and the first company to prepare, and the second and third companies to rest temporarily.

There are only less than 200 Japanese soldiers, and it is most likely a tentative attack!
Don’t be too nervous!”

"Yes!"

The messenger beside him immediately shouted, waved the flag in his hand, and issued his orders to the entire camp.

Seeing the flag signal, the soldiers from the first company of the third battalion and the artillery company immediately rubbed their hands and prepared to open fire.

Especially on the artillery side, the gunners had even loaded the shells into the gun barrels, just waiting for the order to open fire.

……

However, before they received the order to open fire, the 2nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion in the distance took the initiative to attack.

Their Surotong ST-5 machine gun has a range of 5600 meters. Although the Japanese are no longer within the range of the Third Battalion's artillery, they are already within the range of their 18 machine guns.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

After a series of artillery fire, dozens of Japanese soldiers who were rushing forward frantically had their bodies shot through, their heads blown up, or their arms broken.

Suddenly, a shrill scream broke out.

"what--"

Sudden attack, the Japanese squadron leader Takusuke Hamada immediately gave the order in panic:
“Bombardment—get down!
Come on! "

In his heart, he cursed the entire ancestors of the brigade commander Nomura Takuma.

There are so many squadrons in the entire regiment, why send anyone else to die? It is simply too much to send myself!
……

Behind the large Japanese army, Yoshino Hideki saw this scene and his heart immediately skipped a beat.

Knowing that his plan to take advantage of others was probably not that easy to achieve.

He couldn't help but roared:
“Bagya Road!
The Eighth Route Army's direct-fire artillery shells were so plentiful???

Could it be that they have built a large arsenal somewhere?"

Nomura Takuma said quickly:
"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, it looks like the Eighth Route Army's direct-fire artillery still has a large amount of shells.

You see, in this round of shelling, they consumed at least hundreds of shells, but at most killed dozens of our warriors!

I think we shouldn't attack rashly.

It would be best to ask the division commander to arrange for the field artillery to destroy the direct-fire artillery of the Eighth Route Army first!"

Hearing what he said, Yoshino Hideki immediately jumped up and roared like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Baga! Are you afraid of the enemy and afraid of fighting?" Although he was also shocked by the power of the special forces regiment's direct-fire artillery, he had seen the world before, so how could he give up so quickly?

Wouldn't that be equivalent to asking him, a major general of the empire, to admit defeat?

Nomura Takuma was so embarrassed that his face turned red after he was exposed by his words, and he quickly denied it:
"I don't dare to be humble!
I just don't want the warriors to die meaninglessly under the gunfire!"

Yoshino Hideki stared at him fiercely and said coldly:

“Humph, Nomura-kun, as soldiers of the Empire, it is our honor to serve His Majesty the Heavenly Locust with all our strength!

I think you should keep this in mind!!!"

Under his hawk-like gaze, Nomura Takuma felt cold sweat on his back and quickly bowed and agreed:

"Hey! I understand!"

Seeing that he had behaved himself, Yoshino Hideki's expression relaxed a little.

He ordered:
“Go tell Hamada-kun to stop lying on the ground pretending to be dead!

Immediately find a way to attack and move forward to test the situation on the Eighth Route Army's position!
I asked them to go, not to pretend to be dead!!!"

"Hi!"

A messenger immediately agreed, rushed to the front and delivered the order to Takusuke Hamada.

……

On the battlefield, Takusuke Hamada was lying on the ground, feeling the hot shells flying over his head from time to time, and he couldn't help but feel like peeing his pants.

The killing of people by this direct-fire artillery is much more terrible than that by the Type 92 infantry gun. Often a whole group of people can be wiped out with one shot.

However, at this time, a messenger rushed over from behind and loudly conveyed Yoshino Hideki's order to him.

Now, he couldn't pretend to be dead anymore.

He could only bite the bullet and call upon his subordinates, regardless of their physical strength, to crawl forward.

In my heart, I also greeted Yoshino Hideki's ancestors for eighteen generations.

What the hell is acting dead?
Is this human language?
……

At the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, Guo Youqing saw that all the Japanese soldiers were lying on the ground. He immediately ordered the gunners to lower the muzzles of their guns slightly and fired another round. Seeing that the effect was not obvious, he could only give the order:
"Cease fire, clean the gun barrels, and prepare for shelling again!
Wait until the Japanese stand up before attacking them!
I don’t believe they can stay on the ground forever!”

Following his order, the gunners stopped their work and couldn't help but grumble and complain:

“This bunch of devils is no good!
Not only are there a hundred or so people rushing forward, but they are also as timid as rabbits!
We just fired a few shells and you're lying on the ground pretending to be a cuckold!"

"Yes! The Japs nowadays are getting worse and worse!"

"Who knows, these little devils are just pigs without balls!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

……

Just when the soldiers of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion were smiling happily, the soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment were very depressed.

Especially the artillery company.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers being hit by the Suluotong ST-5 machine guns and not daring to stand up and charge, the gunners could not help but curse:
"Damn it, the people from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion are going too far, aren't they?

Eat our meat!"

"That's right! These little devils are coming for us. Why are they able to cross the line?"

"We need to let the battalion commander come out and talk!

Isn’t this just playing the piano randomly? "

……

After hearing the soldiers' discussion, the artillery company commander Lü Wenyi could not help but run to find Wang Quanfa:

"Battalion Commander, our job has been taken away by the people from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion!"

Wang Quanfa put down the telescope and nodded, his face showing no sadness, joy or anger:
"Yes what's the matter?"

"Why don't you send them a telegram and explain yourself?"

Lu Wenyi was a little anxious.

"Speaking? You are still biting Lu Dongbin and don't know how to appreciate a good person?
People are helping, but they are helping in the wrong way? "

Wang Quanfa was speechless.

"Captain, we don't need their help!
We can easily take care of these little devils with our 12 Type infantry guns!"

Lu Wenyi was still indignant.

In today's battle, the First Battalion, the Second Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, and the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion all gained victory, but he, Lu Wenyi, hasn't even fired a single shot!

Don't mention how anxious I am.

He had worked hard to dig trenches for several days, and he had been looking forward to giving the Japanese a good beating!
"Alright, alright, stop nagging in front of me.

It was the regiment commander's order to ask the comrades from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion to help.

It's not your turn to talk nonsense here!"

Wang Quanfa severely suppressed the other party.

Then, seeing that he looked like an eggplant hit by frost, he comforted him a little:

"Don't you just want to fire your guns to deal with the Japanese?
Now the Japanese are crawling on the ground. Lao Guo and his men's machine guns will definitely not be able to fire. You should go back quickly to command your artillery.

As soon as the Japanese come into your firing range, open fire immediately and blow them up hard!"

Hearing his words, Lu Wenyi suddenly became excited again.

Just as he was about to nod his head in agreement, he heard the second captain Fan Laishun come over and suggest:
"Battalion Commander, the main force of the Japanese hasn't moved yet. They are coming here just to test our strength. If the artillery company hits too hard, will their main force be scared away?"

Hearing what he said, Lu Wenyi said to him unhappily:
"Lao Fan, you son of a bitch, stop messing with me!
Military orders are as heavy as mountains, don’t you know?

The battalion commander has given the order for us to blow it up hard.”

However, Wang Quanfa nodded slightly, waved his hand to signal Lu Wenyi not to make trouble, and asked:
"Laishun, what do you think?"

When Lu Wenyi saw this, he felt very bitter. He stepped aside and glared at Fan Laishun.

I wish I could rush up to him and bite him twice.

Fan Laishun ignored Lu Wenyi's gaze and said:
"Battalion Commander, even if we kill these hundred or so devils, it won't be of much use to the overall battle situation.

I think it would be better to deliberately show weakness to the enemy, pretending to be short of ammunition and personnel, so as to attract a large force of the Japanese to rush over.

When the time comes, I will punish them severely!"

Hearing what he said, Wang Quanfa was also moved.

But before he made a decision, Lu Wenyi next to him pointed out:

"Old Fan, do you think the Japs are so stupid?
What if their main force didn't catch up, and instead these one hundred or so Japanese soldiers rushed into our trenches?

By then, our comrades will suffer many casualties."

Seeing that Lu Wenyi kept contradicting him, Fan Laishun couldn't hold it in any longer and started to rant:

"Old Lu, aren't they just a hundred or so Japanese devils?

What the hell am I afraid of?

Even if they really rush into our trenches, our Second Company can take care of them!

You artillery company, just stand aside and watch the show!"

"Hey, Old Fan, who the hell wants to watch a show?"

Lu Wenyi clenched his fists and rolled up his sleeves, wishing he could have a fight with Fan Laishun.

Wang Quanfa quickly stopped him:
"Alright, alright, stop arguing.

Lai Shun’s words make sense. We don’t need to take these little Japanese devils too seriously!
It will be dark soon, let's give it a try, who knows, we might be able to eat a big piece of meat before dark!"

Seeing that he had made the decision, Lu Wenyi became very unhappy and glared at Fan Laishun fiercely.

It seemed as if he was blaming the other party for letting the meat, which was already in the pot, fly away.

Wang Quanfa ignored Lu Wenyi's emotions and ordered him:
"Wenyi, your artillery company is not allowed to fire without my order!"

"Yes!"

Lu Wenyi agreed unhappily and left in a huff.

Wang Quanfa then sent someone to give orders to the company in the front trenches:
"Let the Japanese get within 500 meters before attacking!
And don't hit them too hard, or you'll scare away the big fish behind them!"
