I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 1052 Such a powerful cannon, could it have been picked up again?
This side of Huangping Town.

Following Yang Yuanshan's order, Zhang Xiaohe went to find Gao Yuanzhi, the battalion commander of the 1st Artillery Battalion who had just returned to his position.

"Captain, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Gao Yuanzhi was running out of breath, with sweat on his forehead.

"That's right. Yuanzhi, I want you to dispatch 30 elite gunners. They will be of great use to me."

Yang Yuanshan didn't waste time talking to him and got straight to the point.

"Captain, we don't have many elite gunners in our battalion. You asked for 30 of them, which is a bit embarrassing.

How about I give you 20 people, and you pick 10 from their camp?"

Gao Yuanzhi was a little unhappy.

In today's battle, he has already lost a lot of veteran gunners. If he were to pull out 30 more backbones now, the combat effectiveness of his first artillery battalion would be greatly weakened.

There will be a fierce battle tomorrow. Without reliable manpower, how can we fight this battle?
"Look at how stingy you are, I asked you to give me 30 so I'll give you 30.

Looking back you will realize that you got a great deal!
This is a blessing that I could never ask for."

Yang Yuanshan rolled his eyes at him and gave the order directly.

Naturally, he turned around and planned to place these four self-propelled howitzers under the command of the First Artillery Battalion.

That's why people say Gao Yuanzhi took advantage.

This time, Gao Yuanzhi didn't dare to refuse anymore and could only nod and agree:
"Yes! I'll get some people right away.

But commander, what do you want these gunners for?
Is there some kind of cannon they need to fiddle with?"

As he spoke, Gao Yuanzhi became extremely curious.

The self-propelled howitzer was not easy to explain, so Yang Yuanshan waved his hand immediately:

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you will know it when you are supposed to know it.

Go find someone now.

By the way, it would be best to find a capable platoon leader to lead these people."

"Yes!"

Gao Yuanzhi agreed and left in a hurry.

As soon as he left, Yang Yuanshan sent someone to call over the tank company commander Kong Dacheng.

The enemy thought that their tank company had a chance to go into battle, and asked excitedly:
"Captain, you're looking for me? Do you have a mission?"

"Mission? Not yet."

Yang Yuanshan ruthlessly extinguished his hopes.

"Then you come to me?"

Kong Dacheng's face turned into a bitter one.

"I've been asking you to train more tankers. Now give me eight smart ones. I have plans."

Yang Yuanshan answered.

“Draw 8 tankers?

Commander, are there any new tanks arriving?
It won't be weaker than those Chaffee tanks, right?"

Kong Dacheng's face was full of anticipation again.

There are only 9 tanks left in their tank company, and the oldest M3 may break down at any time. He has been looking forward to having new tanks to replenish them.

Of course, if he were to add some of the Japanese's tiny tanks, Type 97 medium tanks and other junk, he would not be interested at all.

"You're overthinking, kid.

There are no tanks for you at the moment.

As for the details, you will know tomorrow, now hurry up and find someone for me."

Yang Yuanshan was also too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Kong Dacheng didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only nod and turn around to go back to find someone.

In his tank company, there are only 36 people who can drive tanks.

There are still dozens of people with less-skilled skills who are idle. It will be no problem to pick out 8 of them.

……

After a while, the 30 artillerymen arranged by Gao Yuanzhi and the 8 tankmen arranged by Kong Dacheng were all in place.

Yang Yuanshan immediately led them personally, holding a flashlight, and headed towards the west of Huangping Town.

As they walked, he asked the gunners and tankmen to introduce themselves, and then divided the 38 people into four squads, two squads of 4 people and two squads of 9 people.

In each class, two tank drivers are assigned to serve as drivers of self-propelled howitzers.

Class monitors were also appointed.

Finally, Miao Sanmu, the deputy artillery platoon leader sent by Gao Yuanzhi, was appointed as the company commander of this artillery company.

That's right, although there were only 4 guns and 38 artillerymen, he still decided to set up an artillery company.

Anyway, given the nature of the dog system, it will sooner or later produce more M7 Priest self-propelled howitzers. If the organization is larger now, it will definitely be useful in the future.

After the organization was completed, the company commander and squad leader were appointed, and the establishment of the self-propelled howitzer company of the special forces regiment was announced, Yang Yuanshan led everyone and continued to march westward on the dark road.

Miao Sanmu, who had just been promoted directly from deputy platoon leader to company commander, couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Captain, that self-propelled howitzer you just mentioned is similar to our bicycles. Can we ride it?"

Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan was speechless.

Just as he was about to complain about his strange way of thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the other warriors, except him, staring at him curiously.

Even Zhang Xiaohe, who had always been by his side and was considered knowledgeable, looked the same.

He suddenly came to his senses: Nowadays, few soldiers are literate, and they don't have television, computers, or mobile phones. They have little experience. What's so strange about that?
So he shook his head quickly:

"Of course not, this self-propelled howitzer looks similar to our tanks and is also powered by a gasoline engine.

That's why I assigned you 8 tankers to drive this thing."

After hearing his explanation, the soldiers became more curious, and everyone was wondering: What does a howitzer that is similar to a tank look like?

Doesn’t the tank itself have a gun?

Why are there self-propelled howitzers that look like tanks?
What the hell, isn't this just taking off your pants to fart?
……

Yang Yuanshan led these dozens of soldiers and quickly passed the temporary ammunition storage warehouse and the tank station of Kong Dacheng and others, and arrived at a location about 2 kilometers west of Huangping Town.

At this time, he swept the flashlight in his hand forward and saw four huge vehicles lined up on the road in a row. The long barrels looked like the wide-open mouths of ferocious beasts.

Before he could speak, a soldier with good eyesight saw these things from the faint light of the flashlight and couldn't help but screamed:
"Oh my god, what a big cannon!"

Then he rushed forward quickly and started to feel for the four cannons.

The 105mm howitzer is indeed a level larger heavy artillery for these artillerymen who have been dealing with 75mm mountain artillery for a long time!

With someone taking the lead, others will of course rush forward eagerly.

Then he couldn't help but yell:

"Oh my god, this cannon is really powerful! It will be fun to fire it."

"This gun looks like a long box tank!"

"This is covered with iron sheets, so the Japanese won't be able to bomb us during the artillery battle!"

……

Company commander Miao Sanmu had seen the four Liao-made 100mm field guns of the Special Service Regiment's artillery battalion. When he saw the caliber of these guns, he immediately exclaimed:
"Captain, this looks like a howitzer with a range of more than 100mm?

Could it be 120 mm?"

Yang Yuanshan walked to the front self-propelled howitzer, carefully observed it, and then shook his head:

“This is not 120 millimeters.

This is the M7 self-propelled howitzer with a caliber of 105 mm and a range of 10 kilometers.

The moving speed is about 20 to 30 kilometers per hour!"

He had never seen this thing in real life before he traveled through time.

Seeing it now, I still feel quite shocked.

I have to say that the American weapons seem to be much more powerful than those of the Japanese.

At least the materials and craftsmanship seem very solid.

“Wow, 105mm is amazing!

The range is 10 kilometers. Wow, it can hit really far!

It can also run twenty to thirty kilometers in an hour, which is much more convenient than using mules and horses to carry artillery!
Now, we can give the Japanese devils a good beating!

Let these damn bastards use their 150mm heavy artillery to bully us!" Miao Sanmu's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Looking at these four cannons, it was as if he was looking at some magical weapon.

Yang Yuanshan nodded:
“Well, Sanmu, your task tonight is to figure out these four cannons for me.

We must be able to start these guns and open fire in the shortest possible time!
Understand? "

He patted the armor of the gun with his hand and felt infinite power.

Cannons are truth, and firepower is justice!

Once these four guns unleash their power, the two Japanese divisions will surely cry!
……

Miao Sanmu immediately patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, Commander. All of us in the self-propelled artillery company will stay up all night to figure this thing out!
As soon as the sun rises, we will bombard the Japanese fiercely! "

"Okay. After daybreak, you can drive to the west to Barley Valley to conduct live ammunition firing and test the artillery.

After they were able to move quickly and skillfully, they drove back and opened fire on the Japanese.

Don't act rashly or attack them without being prepared.

Once you attract their heavy artillery's attention and you can't move away quickly, you're doomed!
Understand? "

Yang Yuanshan explained again.

He didn't want his cannons to be blown up by the Japanese before they could form combat effectiveness.

That would make him feel so sad.

"understand!"

Miao Sanmu agreed without hesitation.

"Okay! Then I'll leave this to you.

The shells for these guns are also nearby, you can look for them yourself."

Yang Yuanshan patted Miao Sanmu on the shoulder.

"Yes!"

……

Accompanying Zhang Xiaohe and several other guards, Yang Yuanshan turned around and returned to Huangping Town.

On the way, everyone couldn't help but ask curiously in unison:
"Captain, these four powerful cannons, could they have been picked up again?"

Yang Yuanshan chuckled and answered casually:

"It fell from the sky."

Hearing this, the guards looked at each other, each of them thoughtful.

Yang Yuanshan didn't care what they were thinking and continued to stride forward.

He knew very well that as long as he didn't tell anyone about the system, even if a god came, he wouldn't be able to find out any clues.

Even if he said it, no one would believe it.

After all, these days, who can understand what Brother Tongzi means?

……

The group walked into Huangping Town in the dark when they heard faint sounds of gunfire coming from the east.

Zhang Xiaohe said quickly:

"Captain, listen, there seems to be a fight in the east!"

Yang Yuanshan listened attentively and nodded:
"It should be the leaders who led the New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment and other troops to attack the Japanese at night."

"Haha, the little devil won't be able to sleep tonight."

Zhang Xiaohe was extremely excited, as if he saw the scene where the Japanese soldiers were shot to death one by one by our soldiers' bullets.

……

Yang Yuanshan was just about to move forward when suddenly another burst of fierce artillery fire was heard.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

"Captain, is it Captain Chu and his men who are shelling the Japanese?"

another guard asked excitedly.

He vaguely felt that the sound of the cannon seemed very familiar, and it should be the sound of a recoilless rifle.

Yang Yuanshan also thought it sounded familiar, so he quickly took out his telescope, observed it carefully, and then nodded:

"should be.

It's a lively night tonight!
Let’s go back to the regiment headquarters.”

"Captain, what are you doing back at the regiment headquarters?
Why not climb up the mountain and take a look?
The 4th and 5th battalions will soon take action against the Japanese, right?"

Zhang Xiaohe asked in confusion.

"It's pitch dark, what can you see?
Of course I go back to sleep.

There will be a fierce battle tomorrow!

If you don’t sleep well tonight, you won’t have energy tomorrow.”

Yang Yuanshan answered calmly.

Hearing that he was still in the mood to sleep, Zhang Xiaohe and others couldn't help but admire him.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts: The team leader is really amazing. He can actually sleep well in such a situation!
……

In the dark night, when the sound of gunfire rang out, the Japanese soldiers who had been camping on the road and had already fallen asleep were suddenly thrown into chaos.

The screams of wounded soldiers and the shouts of middle and lower-level officers came one after another.

In the headquarters of the Japanese First Division, the division commander, Saburo Nakazawa, had just laid down and was not yet asleep when he was awakened by the sound of gunfire. He immediately jumped up and yelled:
"Baga! Is this a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army?"

Chief of Staff Takahashi Mantang rushed over and replied:

"Your Excellency, the Division Commander, a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers are attacking us from the north and south.

The warriors we have stationed on the ridges on both sides of the road are already overwhelmed, and we must send reinforcements immediately!"

“Bagya Road!
How many Tubalu troops came?

Don't we have troops stationed at commanding heights on the ridges, forming a three-dimensional defensive posture?"

Saburo Nakazawa was furious.

"The Tubalu opened fire from the darkness, and it is hard to tell how many of them there are.

But judging from the density of firepower, it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of people!"

"What? Tens of thousands of people?
Where did so many Tubalu troops come from?
Did they all come out from Huangping Town?"

Saburo Nakazawa frowned.

……

At this time, a telegraph operator suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the two of them, and reported:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the Eighth Division called and said that they were attacked by a large number of Eighth Route Army at night, and they are currently in a fierce battle!"

Upon hearing this, Nakazawa Saburo roared:

"Bagayalu! Are the Tubalu crazy?
Launched a full-scale attack on our two divisions???"

Gao Qiao Mantang quickly suggested:

"Your Excellency, now is not the time to delay!
We should immediately send reinforcements, climb the ridges on both sides of the road, provide support, and firmly hold our terrain advantage.

Otherwise, if the Tubalu seize the commanding heights on the mountain ridge and attack us from above, we will be in great danger!"

Of course, Nakazawa Saburo also realized the danger and nodded quickly:

"Yoshi! Takahashi-kun, go and make arrangements immediately!
Give orders to Mr. Yano and command his 2nd Brigade to launch an all-out attack!
The enemies who dare to invade must be eliminated!!!"

"Hi!"

Takahashi Mantang agreed and went out immediately to give orders to Major General Masao Yano, commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade.
