I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

On the battlefield of Huangping Town.

The two messengers at the Japanese 1st Division headquarters were obviously very confused by the performance of the 1st Brigade Commander Yoshino Hideki.

This guy is so arrogant at first and respectful later, just like a chameleon!
But for them, as long as the other party accepts the order, their job is done.

There was no way they could argue with each other.

After all, he is the major general brigade commander!

where are they?
Nothing!

Seeing that the other side had indeed ordered the troops to move forward, they immediately left the battlefield and returned to the division headquarters, preparing to report to the division commander Saburo Nakazawa.

……

As soon as Saburo Nakazawa's messenger left, Yoshino Hideki picked up the telescope and looked at the battlefield, praying in his heart that more of his men could be withdrawn.

Although he didn't care about the lives of these cannon fodders, he could save face if he could withdraw them a little more.

You can't let him, a brigade commander, end up being worse than a battalion commander or even a squadron leader, right?

However, at this time, the Third Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment had already opened fire at full power, and the infantry guns, recoilless guns, light and heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers were all spitting out flames crazily.

How could it be easy for the Japanese to retreat?

Seeing his own men, even those lying on the ground, being blown into the air by shells from time to time, Yoshino Hideki could not help but curse:

"Damn Tubalu! Damn Tubalu!

So insidious!

He had so much ammunition, but he just pretended that he only had rifle bullets left!!!

My conscience is so bad!

Everything must die! "

But no matter how much he scolded, it was useless.

The soldiers of the Third Battalion had been holding back for a long time, so how could they hold back now?

The gun fired quickly and accurately.

The cannon fired even harder and faster!
The Japanese soldiers were beaten so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads.

Amid the hail of bullets, the morale of many people has dropped to zero.

Unable to bear the torture, they even jumped up, rushed forward madly, and went straight back to their hometown.

Here comes the sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn!

……

At the third battalion's position, Wang Quanfa saw the Japanese soldiers showing signs of retreating, and immediately frowned and couldn't help cursing:
"You damned little devil, aren't you too cowardly?
They can't handle this little bit of firepower and are going to run away?"

He just lost one hand, otherwise he would have punched the ground to express his inner contempt.

Zheng Hang, who was standing next to him, heard this and complained speechlessly:

"Lao Wang, is this what we call 'a little firepower'?

Those Japanese soldiers who died in the battle must go and appeal to the King of Hell for justice!

When someone is fighting a war, machine guns are used to sweep the ground horizontally, while infantry guns and recoilless rifles are used to fire at the ground vertically?
Not to mention that so many general-purpose machine guns and light machine guns are madly wasting bullets!"

"Hahaha, our King of Hell won't serve the Japs!"

Wang Quanfa laughed out loud.

The victory of the Third Battalion was visible to the naked eye. How could he not be happy after getting a big bite of meat?

……

After laughing, Wang Quanfa immediately urged all the soldiers in the battalion to intensify the attack and not let the Japanese escape.

When the soldiers heard that the Japanese were trying to escape, they immediately became anxious.

The movements of his hands became faster.

Especially the artillery company, they almost unleashed the maximum design firing rate of their artillery, and madly fired shells one after another at the Japanese.

Even though the gun barrel was shot red, he didn't care.

Many gunners were even accidentally burned by the gun barrel, but no one retreated from the line of fire.

He still endured the severe pain in his hands and continued to fight.

There aren't many opportunities to unilaterally bomb the Japanese without encountering a counterattack from their artillery fire!
Of course we can’t let it go easily!

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

"Boom! Boom! Boom——"

There was dense artillery fire, chasing and bombarding the retreating Japanese soldiers.

They were so shocked that they cried for their parents!

Everyone in their hearts greeted all the female relatives of Yoshino Hideki and Nomura Takuma for eighteen generations.

If they were not on the run and had no time to spare, some people would even want to shoot Nomura Takuma.

Let this stupid captain lead them to their deaths!

……

Just when the battle here was reaching its climax, suddenly several huge explosions were heard from the nearby mountains.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Upon hearing this sound, a Japanese officer immediately shouted excitedly:

“This must be our heavy artillery support!
Warriors, hold on!
The end of the Tubalu has come!!!"

Hearing this shout, the Japanese army's originally depressed morale instantly perked up again.

Many Japanese soldiers who had been lying on the ground waiting to die because they had run out of strength suddenly regained their strength and began to retreat frantically to escape.

……

Behind the Japanese position, Yoshino Hideki also heard the sound of the artillery fire, and he immediately looked towards the source of the explosion.

Then we saw a huge flame coming out of the hillside where the special forces regiment was firing directly at the artillery.

He immediately understood that it was the large-caliber howitzers of his own field artillery regiment that opened fire.

Naturally, I am smiling.

He kept muttering:
"Yoshi! Imai-kun's howitzer is finally deployed.

Damn Tubalu, locust army artillery, I will let you know what artillery fire is!"

He immediately felt a little regretful that he had not sent anyone to ask them to open fire because he did not want to ruin the impression he had on the division commander Saburo Nakazawa, which allowed the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of him.

……

At the position of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, four powerful shells suddenly fell to the ground, which of course scared all the soldiers in the battalion.

Especially the battalion commander Guo Youqing, he immediately felt the danger.

Although due to the long distance, this first round of shelling did not cause any casualties to them.

But Guo Youqing knew from the huge explosion caused by the shells hitting the ground and the terrible flames that this must be a very terrifying heavy artillery!

It’s even more terrifying than the 120mm heavy mortars in Wang Gensheng’s Second Artillery Battalion!
So he immediately shouted:

"Comrades, cease firing!
The Japanese heavy artillery fired back!

Move position as quickly as possible!
quick! quick! quick! "

Following his order, all the soldiers in the battalion immediately dismantled the artillery and ran down the mountain carrying it.

Just when they had not all evacuated the battlefield, four more huge shells fell.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

This time, the shells landed very close to their position.

In particular, the closest shell landed just seventy or eighty meters to the east of a machine gun.

The shock wave of the explosion brought up grass, wood and rocks, which hit many soldiers, causing them to groan. When they lifted up their clothes, they saw that their bodies were covered with bruises.

There were even two soldiers who were unlucky and were hit by several shrapnel on their backs. They immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, due to the long distance, the shrapnel's kinetic energy was weak and it did not penetrate too deeply into the flesh.

Otherwise, these few shrapnel would be enough to take their lives!
Seeing the tremendous power of the shell, the originally arrogant faces of the soldiers of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion all turned into extremely solemn expressions.

The big guys used all their strength, carrying the artillery, and evacuated frantically down the mountain.

Battalion Commander Guo Youqing could not help but curse: "Damn the Japs, the power of this heavy artillery is so fucking terrifying!

It's almost like an aerial bomb!"

He was even wondering in his mind whether he should abandon the artillery and simply withdraw the gunner.

Anyway, Yang Yuanshan had told their artillery battalion that in an emergency, they could give up the artillery but they must save the gunners!
……

Of course, Wang Quanfa also saw the situation where the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion was bombarded.

He couldn't help but worry about the other party.

The noise of the artillery shell exploding was so terrifying!

However, worrying would not solve the crisis of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, so he could only put the matter aside.

He commanded the soldiers in the camp with all his strength and chased down the Japanese who were fleeing in a panic.

It is obvious that the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion is unable to provide any help now.

Then they can only rely on themselves to deal with the enemies in front of them.

……

While the Third Battalion was fighting fiercely, on the ridge north of Zhengtai Road.

At the first battalion's position, Xu Wei was looking towards the south through a telescope, feeling very depressed.

I couldn't help but scold the instructor Zhao Shihong:

"Why did all those damn Japanese run to the south?

No one is coming to our north?
Damn it, does this guy look down on our first battalion?

If I had known this, I should have told the regiment commander to let us stay in the south and let the third battalion come to the north!"

Zhao Shihong felt speechless at his words.

Those shit-yellow military uniforms on the southern ridge seemed to be everywhere on the mountain. It was obvious at a glance that there were at least two or three thousand of them.

If they really run to our side, with the current strength of the First Battalion, can they withstand the opponent's fierce attack?
Even if they can hold on, they will probably suffer heavy losses, right?

So he quickly reminded:

"Old Xu, our soldiers have been fighting for several hours and are very tired.

While the Japanese haven’t come to our side yet, we might as well let the kitchen staff start a fire and cook so that the soldiers can eat and replenish their energy!
Otherwise, when the Japanese invaders come, the soldiers will have to fight on an empty stomach. "

Xu Wei put down the telescope and nodded:

"There's no need to cook, Lao Zhao, go ask the kitchen staff to boil some hot water!

We can just drink hot water and eat dry food."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhao Shihong nodded and took action immediately.

……

While Wang Quanfa and others were fighting fiercely with the Japanese 49th Regiment, the bombardment between the two artillery battalions of the Special Service Regiment and the Japanese field artillery regiment also entered a white-hot stage.

Dense artillery shells continuously streaked across the sky, then exploded upon reaching the ground, raising huge clouds of dust.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The earth-shaking explosion shook the entire Huangping Town.

Many of the already dilapidated ruins were directly collapsed by the earthquake.

……

At this time, Yang Yuanshan was returning to his temporary command post from the position of the Third Battalion.

On the way, he suddenly heard a guard exclaim loudly:

"Captain, look!
The Japanese reconnaissance plane is coming! "

Yang Yuanshan looked up suddenly, but saw nothing.

He quickly asked:
"Where?"

The guard pointed to the east sky and quickly replied:

"Captain, there!"

Yang Yuanshan quickly picked up the telescope and looked over there carefully.

Soon, we saw two dragonfly-sized reconnaissance planes flying in the sky to the east.

After a moment, he put down the telescope and sneered:
"The Japanese are just bullying us because we don't have an air force!

Otherwise, we can just send out a fighter jet and take care of these two pieces of junk!"

Hearing what he said, guard Tang Sanbao asked quickly:

"Captain, when will we have an air force or something like that?

This Japanese reconnaissance plane always flies over our heads for no reason. It's so annoying.

I really want to take a bamboo pole and poke them down!"

The expression on Yang Yuanshan's face froze for a moment, and he almost couldn't breathe.

After a long while, he said firmly:
"Sanbao, don't worry, in three years at most, we will definitely have an air force!"

He estimated that three years later, the Japanese would be defeated and our army would be able to take over some of their airports, arsenals and other things.

It shouldn't be a problem to completely shape our own air force.

However, Tang Sanbao was obviously not satisfied with this answer and couldn't help but mutter:
“Another three years?
That’s been too long.”

His words obviously left Yang Yuanshan speechless.

He slapped him on the forehead and reminded him:

"What do you know, kid!

It is not easy to establish an air force.

Not to mention how difficult it is to get a plane.

Even if we really have airplanes, we still need airports with complete facilities and to train enough pilots, ground crew, mechanics, etc.

Ideally, there would also need to be an aircraft manufacturing plant so that parts for repairing aircraft could be produced.

There are also oil refineries, which are essential. Otherwise, if the plane runs out of fuel just after taking off, it will have no choice but to fall.

In addition, the ammunition factories needed by fighter planes and bombers are indispensable. We can't just fly planes in the sky for show without any shells to shoot down the enemy planes, right?"

Yang Yuanshan felt his scalp tingling as he spoke.

None of these things are easy.

Even if there is a system hack, at most it can only produce some planes. Without a production line, it is impossible to directly produce pilots and engineers.

It is simply impossible to form a combat-capable air force!
After listening to what he said, the guards all felt that the dream of having an air force seemed completely out of reach.

I can't help but feel very disappointed.

Tang Sanbao quickly stood up and asked:

"Captain, what you said is too far-fetched.

How should we deal with these two Japanese reconnaissance planes now?
They must be coming for us, right?"

“Never mind them.

If they just want to do high-altitude reconnaissance, then let them do it.

If they dare to dive and strafe, the 1st Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion will certainly give them a severe beating!

Our anti-aircraft guns are not just for show!"

Yang Yuanshan answered confidently.

He knew very well that it was impossible for him to hide and avoid being detected by the Japanese as they were engaged in such a large-scale fighting with each other.

——Don’t treat them as fools!

However, when it comes to war, sometimes, even if you understand your opponent's deployment, you may not be able to make the most correct response due to the constraints of terrain, troop strength, equipment, troop quality, your own external conditions, and other conditions.

Therefore, he was not actually too worried that the Japanese would be able to find any flaws in him!
Especially now, it’s not long before dark and the visibility is slowly getting worse.

It is probably difficult for the Japanese reconnaissance planes to obtain much valuable intelligence.

However, he immediately thought that maybe he should order the 1st and 2nd Artillery Battalions to move their artillery positions.

Otherwise, if these two reconnaissance planes were lucky enough to discover their artillery positions, and after returning, they telegraphed their positions to the Japanese artillery on the opposite side, then these two artillery battalions would definitely suffer a devastating disaster.
