I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

In Huangping Town, Yang Yuanshan and his men hurried back to their temporary headquarters. Zhan Haishan and Han Yang quickly came up to greet them:
"Captain, you're back!"

Yang Yuanshan nodded slightly, without bothering to speak, he took out the kettle and drank water.

After he finished drinking, Zhan Haishan reminded him with a melancholy look:

"Captain, the Japanese reconnaissance plane is coming. Did you see it?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded, wiped his mouth, and answered:
"I see, just two reconnaissance planes, no big deal, don't worry about it for now."

Han Yang asked anxiously:

"Captain, what's the situation at the First Battalion?
Were they crippled? I see you sent all three battalions up to provide support."

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand:
“Not really.

The first battalion lost more than 400 people, but had not lost its combat effectiveness.

I didn't want the first battalion to be wiped out, so I transferred them to the north, and the south was handed over to the third battalion.

This is also a way to train the team.”

After hearing what he said, Han Yang and Zhan Haishan both breathed a sigh of relief.

They had just been discussing for a long time, worried that the first battalion would be wiped out.

So he nodded repeatedly:

"So that's it."

For the special forces regiment, there are only 5 main infantry battalions in total. If one is lost as a whole, it will be absolutely painful.

Especially since today was only their first day of exchanging fire with the Japanese.

If the casualties are too great, the subsequent battles will be difficult to fight.

Hearing the huge explosions of shells one after another, Yang Yuanshan hurriedly asked them:
"Haishan, Hanyang, is there any news from Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng?

How are they doing now?"

“I just took a look around, and the situation is not optimistic.

Gao Yuanzhi said that except for the 75mm caliber artillery, most of the Japanese artillery were 105 and 150mm heavy artillery with amazing power.

With one shot, all our anti-artillery holes within a ten-meter radius will be collapsed.

The losses of the 1st and 2nd Artillery Battalions were heavy.

The artillery has basically lost 40% of its weapons, and even though the gunners have shelters in the artillery holes, 20% to 30% of them have been killed or wounded. "

Han Yang quickly stepped forward to answer.

"My goodness, these heavy artillery pieces are such a hassle!"

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but frowned.

I felt a little resentful towards Ding Wei and Xing Zhiguo. They had been blocking the Japanese at the front for so long but failed to destroy these heavy artillery.

So did it really stop loneliness?

What to play???
How could he know that these cannons were the most important things to the Japanese, and of course they were well protected inside and outside.

Although the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment had used artillery fire and damaged several of their guns, the Japanese artillery had plenty of spare parts and they were quickly repaired.

"Captain, how about asking Captain Gao and Captain Wang to retreat temporarily to preserve our manpower?
It’s getting dark now, and the Japanese heavy artillery won’t be of much use.”

Zhan Haishan quickly suggested.

Yang Yuanshan pondered for a moment and shook his head:

"Forget it, it's going to be dark soon.

It is estimated that this artillery battle will not last long and will have to stop.

If Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng were to retreat now, the Japanese heavy artillery would surely turn their guns around immediately and bombard the positions of the first, second and third battalions.

If a large force of the Japanese took advantage of this opportunity to rush in, or if the positions of the first and second battalions were lost, our losses would be even greater."

"Well, we'll have to let the comrades in the artillery battalion suffer."

Zhan Haishan let out a long sigh.

It is not easy to train some artillerymen, but the enemies that the special forces regiment faces every time are always terribly strong, resulting in heavy losses to the artillerymen.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: In other units of our army, artillerymen are the precious treasures, and the casualty rate in battles is often very low.

But the secret service group did the opposite, which is also outrageous.

Yang Yuanshan saw him sighing and quickly comforted him:
“I believe Yuanzhi and Gensheng, they will try their best to protect their artillery!
I will give them some new soldiers and artillery later, and our artillery battalion will definitely be able to fight again!"

After hearing this, Zhan Haishan could only nod.

Again, we propose:

"Captain, how about we arrange for Chu Kun and his men to use recoilless rifles to attack the Japanese artillery positions tonight?

If we don’t take down these heavy artillery, tomorrow’s battle will probably not be easy.”

Yang Yuanshan nodded slightly, walked a few steps on the spot, pondered for a while, looked at the sky, and then used a telescope to look at the situation at the second battalion's position east of the town entrance. Then he agreed:
"Well, it looks like this is our only chance right now."

Then he called out loudly:

"Zhang Xiaohe!"

"Have!"

Zhang Xiaohe came over quickly.

"Go to the second battalion's position and call Chu Kun over!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiaohe immediately accepted the order and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked:
"Captain, are Captain Chu's troops also going to withdraw?"

Seeing that he was actually smart, Yang Yuanshan gave him a satisfied look:

"Let Chu Kun and He Yunfu discuss it themselves. If the Second Battalion doesn't need their help anymore, then they can withdraw."

"understand!"

Zhang Xiaohe shouted loudly and hurried away immediately.

……

Asking Zhang Xiaohe to call Chu Kun, Yang Yuanshan instructed Han Yang:
"Han Yang, go arrange for the kitchen team to start cooking immediately. Once the fighting stops, let the soldiers eat immediately.

Tonight, we have to teach the Japanese a lesson!
It will definitely be a tough battle!"

"Yes!"

Han Yang nodded quickly, turned around and prepared to leave.

Yang Yuanshan pulled him back and added:
"By the way, the wounded soldiers brought down today should have been transported to the field hospital by Meng Zhisheng and his men, right?
You go and take a look too.

Tell the medical workers not to be stingy with medicines when rescuing the wounded.

Our group has plenty of medicines!"

"understand!"

Han Yang agreed, took a few guards with him, and turned to head west of the town.

……

Not long after, Chu Kun, with a face full of smoke, followed Zhang Xiaohe back and asked anxiously:

"Captain, do you have any new tasks for us?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded slightly. Seeing that there was no light artillery company behind him, he did not rush to answer his question, but asked worriedly:

“Is the situation in the Second Battalion critical?

You didn’t bring your people back?”

“No, it’s been withdrawn.

I asked them to pick up the shells in the back.

I don't know who was in charge of transporting the shells, but they just dumped a batch of shells at the entrance of the town and left them there. What a jerk!"

Chu Kun cursed.

Yang Yuanshan suddenly felt very embarrassed.

I thought to myself: Didn’t I just throw those shells out from my own system warehouse because I was afraid you guys would run out of ammunition?

Now you're cursing, do you want to go to the kitchen and carry the big pot?
Fortunately, Zhan Haishan noticed the unnatural look on Yang Yuanshan's face and guessed that Yang Yuanshan must have not arranged it well, so he quickly interrupted and asked:

"Captain Chu, what are the casualties in the Second Battalion?
How long can they hold out?"

"The casualties were not great. The Japanese tank troops began to show off their might, but after Captain He and his men set the big fire, they were burned to the point of crying for their parents.

Coupled with the bombardment from our recoilless guns and the infantry guns of the second battalion's artillery company, those tanks were basically all knocked down.

Now, the wreckage of these tanks has blocked most of the highway. The Japanese soldiers behind are having a hard time rescuing the wounded tank soldiers, and other attacking forces can't get through at all!

I think the Second Battalion alone can hold this Zhengtai Road for at least two or three days!"

Chu Kun answered proudly.

He had no choice but to almost wipe out an entire tank regiment of the Japanese.

Just now, he was commanding the soldiers, and the feeling of blowing up a tank with just a few shots was simply amazing.

After hearing his words, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but grin and sighed proudly:
"The Japanese commander is so stupid!
They actually let the tank troops rush forward in such a narrow area!

And they didn't even send infantry to protect us, they're just sending us food!"

He didn't understand. Saburo Nakazawa was not stupid. He just thought that the special forces regiment did not have direct-fire artillery and could not do anything to his tank regiment in a short time.

So it was just a blind move.

After all, he would never have imagined that the Special Forces Regiment could cause such a terrible fire.

He has so many artillery pieces that can easily tear through the thin armor of his tanks!

After all, the First Division had been in the Liaodong Army for a long time and had just been transferred to the Jibei Front Army. It did not deeply realize that our army in northwest Shanxi was different from our troops in other regions!
Especially different from our troops in Central Hebei who were defeated by them!
……

After briefly explaining the situation at the Second Battalion, Yang Yuanshan pointed at the huge shells that kept streaking across the sky and said to Chu Kun:
"Chu Kun, did you see those shells?"

"Saw it.

This movement is really powerful!"

Chu Kun nodded, his eyes full of brilliance.

"Well, this should be fired by the heavy artillery of the Japanese field artillery regiment.

I called you here to destroy these heavy artillery!"

Yang Yuanshan looked at Chu Kun seriously.

Feeling the expectation in the other person's eyes, Chu Kun suddenly felt a huge pressure on his shoulders.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Captain, let us go and take care of these heavy artillery pieces. All the soldiers in our third company did it without hesitation.

However, the range of the Japanese heavy artillery is too long, and we have no way of confirming their exact location here!
How do you fight this? "

"That's why I called you here now."

Yang Yuanshan explained.

"Ah—this—"

Chu Kun was a little confused.

Not only him, but also Zhan Haishan next to him didn't understand what Yang Yuanshan was talking about.

Yang Yuanshan did not want to keep them in suspense and immediately explained:
"It's not dark yet, Chu Kun, you should immediately take your company's best observer and climb to the top of the southern mountain to observe the Japanese artillery positions and estimate their specific locations.

Once it gets dark, you will take the initiative to attack, sneak over, aim at the possible position from a long distance, and bombard me hard! "

"Captain, aren't you just letting us catch dead mice?"

Chu Kun was a little speechless.

He thought the other party had some good idea!
So that’s it!

It’s fun!
"Hey, hey, a blind cat catches a dead mouse, what's the big deal?
Anyway, we have plenty of shells!
I am not afraid of you wasting it!"

Yang Yuanshan chuckled.

After hearing this, Chu Kun and Zhan Haishan were speechless.

His style is unique!

At this time, Yang Yuanshan explained:
“Chu Kun, actually this matter is not as difficult as you think.

You see, it is definitely impossible to transport the Japanese's heavy artillery up the mountain.

So, you just need to calculate the distance from the Japanese artillery position to our side.

Basic distance measurement should not be difficult for you, right?

If you have been an artilleryman for so long and you can't even do a good job of range finding, then I will have to remove you as the company commander and let you carry the big pot in the kitchen!"

Hearing this, Chu Kun's eyes suddenly lit up:
"hiss--

That’s right, the Japanese’s position can only be on the road!

Don't worry, Captain. I guarantee there will be no problem with distance measurement!"

Zhan Haishan also nodded excitedly and helped Chu Kun narrow down the target range:
"Based on our understanding of the Japanese artillery, the range of their heavy artillery is estimated to be only 10 kilometers at most.

So now, their artillery position is most likely between 4 and 8 kilometers east of Huangping Town!"

"Yes, that's it!

So Chu Kun, are you confident that you can complete this task now? "

Yang Yuanshan stared at him with burning eyes.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Chu Kun stood at attention and roared.

Yang Yuanshan and Zhan Haishan have explained the matter so clearly. If he still can't complete it, he won't even be able to be the commander of this light artillery company!
"Okay! You take action immediately.

As soon as it gets dark and you finish your meal, you can set off.

I've arranged for Xizi and his company to go with you, to provide you with cover, and to help you carry more shells!
This time, you have to blow it up hard for me!"

Yang Yuanshan patted Chu Kun on the shoulder and reminded him.

"Captain, many of our artillery pieces have had their barrels damaged. Can the regiment provide us with some more?"

Chu Kun felt the pressure and quickly asked another question.

Just now, in order to destroy the Japanese tanks as quickly as possible, they completely ignored the life of the artillery and fired at full speed.

Of course, there were many artillery losses.

"no problem!

Wait a minute, I'll have someone bring it to you!"

Yang Yuanshan waved his hands and didn't care about it at all.

Naturally, he planned to wait until dark and take it out directly from the system warehouse and give it to them.

This saves having to go to the temporary warehouse at the back to move it.

……

After sending Chu Kun away, Yang Yuanshan sent someone to call Wang Xikui.

"Xizi, how are the soldiers in your company resting?"

Wang Xikui nodded quickly:
“All out of breath.

Captain, you asked me to come here because you have another mission?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded:
"That's right!"

Then he recounted how their company was assigned the task of covering Chu Kun's recoilless gun company tonight.

This was not the first time that Wang Xikui had performed a mission with the recoilless gun company. He immediately patted his chest and promised without hesitation:

"Don't worry, Commander. Our sniper company will complete the mission!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Tonight, you must destroy as many of the Japanese heavy artillery as possible.

Otherwise, tomorrow's battle will be very difficult for us."

Yang Yuanshan reminded solemnly.

Seeing his serious expression, Wang Xikui also felt a bit pressured.

But more of it is excitement.

As a sniper, he loves the thrill of walking on the edge of a blade!
