I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

The temporary command post of the Japanese First Division.

As soon as Takahashi Mantang left, the division commander Saburo Nakazawa also walked out of the command post and looked around through a telescope.

Then he saw flashes of fire and sounds of gunfire everywhere around his First Division's camp.

There are sounds of various rifles, light and heavy machine guns, such as the Type 38, Czech, Type 92, as well as explosions of various fire support weapons, such as grenade launchers and mortars.

The deafening noises made him feel suffocated.

It seemed as if there was a huge net surrounding his First Division!

It was as if he, Saburo Nakazawa, was a small fish caught in a net, unable to escape no matter how hard he jumped.

This feeling made him furious. He suddenly drew out the saber from his waist, slashed at the air a few times, and roared wildly:
“Damn Tubalu!
Don't think you can take advantage of my First Division by launching a sneak attack!
My Empire Locust Army is invincible!!!"

However, at this moment, suddenly, a burst of dense artillery fire was heard -

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

When he looked up, he saw a series of artillery shells with tail flames like meteors falling on the First Field Artillery Regiment!

Instantly, his pupils shrank and he couldn't help but scream:
"Baga! The Tubalu are targeting my artillery regiment???"

As a senior general, his battlefield sense is of course very strong.

At this moment, he already understood that the most important purpose of the opponent mobilizing tens of thousands of people to attack them should be to destroy his heavy artillery!

Once they lose their heavy artillery, they won’t be able to fight tomorrow’s battle!
Thinking of this, he immediately rushed back to his headquarters and shouted:
"Hurry up, order--"

Halfway through his words, he stood there again.

At this time, he discovered that after asking Takahashi Mantang to send the 2nd Infantry Brigade to provide support on both sides of the mountain ridges, he now only had an engineering regiment of about a thousand people in his hands, in addition to various non-combat personnel directly under the division headquarters!

There are simply no troops to deploy!

……

Although he had no soldiers, Saburo Nakazawa could not just sit there and wait for death.

After pondering for a long time, he heard the artillery fire from the artillery position becoming more and more intense. It was obviously impossible not to send troops.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and sent someone to call over Colonel Yuya Nishijima, commander of the 1st Engineer Regiment.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander!"

Being called in late at night, Yuya Nishijima felt a little nervous.

There were sounds of gunfire everywhere now, which made even this old engineer feel that something was not right.

"Nishijima-kun, the field artillery regiment is now under fire from the Eighth Route Army.

Now I order you to immediately reorganize your troops, replenish weapons and equipment, and then go to the field artillery regiment to provide support!
Destroy all the Eighth Route Army troops who dare to attack our artillery positions!"

Saburo Nakazawa gave a loud order.

The Japanese engineering regiment is usually only equipped with a small number of weapons. Now if they want to join the battle, it is necessary to replenish their equipment.

However, Nishijima Yuya couldn't help but scream when he heard this:

"Nani?
Let our engineering regiment go and eliminate the Eighth Route Army?
this--"

He almost blurted out and asked the other party if he had lost his mind.

Although engineers are not prohibited from participating in combat, unless in extreme circumstances, no commander would use engineers, a technical branch that takes a lot of time and effort to train, as cannon fodder for a charge.

That's not worth it!
Of course, Saburo Nakazawa knew that his current orders were a bit outrageous, but what else could he do?

If he had some other troops at hand, he would not have sent the engineering regiment into battle!

A good cook cannot cook without rice, right?

Seeing that Nishijima Yuya did not take action immediately after receiving the order, he was even obviously questioning himself.

He was already extremely angry, and he immediately roared:
"Baka! Can't engineers fight?

Are all the people under your command, Nishijima-kun, useless people who can only repair bridges and roads?

Seeing that his eyes were red and his expression was scary, Nishijima Yuya suddenly felt a little frightened. How could he dare to attack?
I quickly agreed honestly:

"Hey! I understand!

I will reorganize the troops immediately!"

……

Sending Nishijima Yuya away did not relieve Saburo Nakazawa's anxiety.

He knew very well that the enemy was in the dark while he was in the light, and that his side was at a great disadvantage.

Moreover, the enemy has more troops than us, and we have fewer. Once the enemy breaks through our defense line, we will fall into great chaos.

So he paced around the command center like an ant on a hot pan, and then sent someone to call over the commander of the 1st Infantry Brigade, Yoshino Hideki, who was already a lone commander.

Yoshino Hideki was sleeping in his tent because he had no soldiers under his command and no longer had to worry about military affairs. When he heard Nakazawa Saburo calling him, he became very suspicious.

I thought to myself: Could it be that some unfortunate thing is going to happen to me again?
He listened to the fierce fighting around him and felt a dark cloud gathering over his head.

Seeing the guy who had left him without a soldier, Nakazawa Saburo didn't bother to greet him and directly gave a stern order:
"Mr. Yoshino, the Tubalu have mobilized tens of thousands of troops and are attacking us.

Now the Huangping Town in front is very empty!

I order you to lead the warriors to charge westward and seize the Tubalu positions immediately!"

Upon hearing this, a lot of question marks suddenly appeared on Yoshino Hideki's face.

Now he is a lone commander, what is the point of leading the team to charge!!!

Did he have to charge with the few guards he had?

Even if he is not afraid of death, what is the use of a few people rushing into the enemy's position?

What to play???
He quickly reminded the other party in confusion:

"Your Excellency, my 49th Regiment has been transferred to Yano-kun.

If we want to launch an attack on the Tubalu, should Mr. Yano go?"

Nakazawa Saburo immediately roared:

"Baga! You are a coward who fears the enemy and is afraid of fighting.

It is simply a disgrace to our Locust Army!

Mr. Yano has already attacked. Your mission now is to reorganize the non-combat personnel of the division headquarters, select two squadrons of troops from them, and then charge westward!"

Yoshino Hideki was very unhappy after being scolded for no reason.

But when he saw that Saburo Nakazawa was going to pull all the non-combat personnel of the division headquarters out to charge, he suddenly felt the pressure.

Without thinking, he knew that the situation was not good!

Not daring to argue with Nakazawa Saburo, he quickly bowed and agreed:
"Hi! I'll go right now."

……

Just as the Japanese were mobilizing their troops and preparing to counterattack, on the side of the Special Forces Regiment, Li Dahe and Zhao Tietou, each leading the soldiers in their battalions, had already been steadily advancing along the ridges on both sides of the Zhengtai Road towards the Japanese positions in the east.

However, the speed of the soldiers in the Fourth Battalion was inevitably much slower than that of the Fifth Battalion.

Because when their large force passed the battlefield in front of the Third Battalion's position, many soldiers were hindered by the slippery ground and the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere, and people slipped and fell from time to time.

The soldiers couldn't help but whisper:
"Didn't the Third Battalion beat the Japanese too hard?

So much blood!

How many people will be killed?"

"Yeah, it looks like the Third Battalion is going to have a good meal today!
There are corpses all over the ground, I'm afraid there are at least two or three thousand of them!"

"Humph! I have to kill a few more Japanese devils tonight!"

……

Soon, they arrived at a position about 700 to 800 meters in front of the Japanese guard post. At this time, Ye Zhong and Jiang Hong, the company commanders of the first and second companies of the guard battalion, led the soldiers of their battalions carrying bazookas and artillery shells and quietly sneaked forward.

At this moment, the middle and rear parts of the Japanese troops in the east had become a mess.

The Japanese soldiers on guard here were not paying attention except for occasionally firing a flare into the air.

The soldiers from the first and second companies of the guard battalion crawled quietly to a position three or four hundred meters in front of their sentry post without being discovered.

Seeing that if they continued to move forward, they would most likely run into the guns of the Japanese sentries, Ye Zhong and Jiang Hong immediately ordered their men to disperse and open fire right here.

They had just tested the range of the rocket launcher in their hands behind Huangping Town. Shooting at the maximum elevation angle, they had no problem hitting three or four hundred meters.

Following the order from Ye Zhong and Jiang Hong, one hundred bazookas suddenly opened fire, throwing 100 incendiary bombs into the vicinity of the Japanese sentry post.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

After a series of dense explosions, blazing flames shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the dark sky.

The frightened little devils shouted in terror:

"Baga! Enemy attack——"

"what--

What a big fire, help me!"

"It's an incendiary bomb, put out the fire!"

……

As they opened fire, the soldiers of the 4th and 5th Battalions, led by Li Dahe and Zhao Tietou, immediately rushed forward and used various weapons in their hands to fire at the Japanese soldiers who appeared in the firelight.

At this moment, the other side is in the open and they are in the dark, and the fight is a completely one-sided massacre.

It’s hard for the Japanese to fight back!

Moreover, since the Japanese did not have many guard posts deployed at each commanding height, they were soon eliminated one by one when they encountered such a violent attack.

……

After seizing the commanding heights, Li Dahe and Zhao Tietou were both very excited.

Immediately order:

"Dig the dirt and put out the fire, then move the recoilless rifles and rocket launchers to the commanding heights, aim them at the Japs on the road, and blow them up hard!"

Following their orders, the soldiers immediately took out the engineering shovels they carried with them, scooped up soil wet with the blood of the Japanese devils, and went to cover the fire caused by the incendiary bombs.

With strength in numbers, they quickly put out the fire on the hilltop.

Then the gunners began to choose their positions, set up their guns and open fire.

"咻咻咻...咻咻咻..."

Countless shells flew towards the center of the road under the ridge.

Incendiary bombs guide the target direction, while grenades harvest heads crazily.

The bomb caused the Japanese soldiers on the road to cry for their parents and be terrified.

In case of doomsday!

Everyone is wondering: Why are these Eighth Route Army soldiers so powerful?
How could they bring artillery up the mountain in the middle of the night?
Are they all strong men?

The Japanese soldiers didn't know that the special forces regiment's recoilless rifles and bazookas were very light, and carrying them when climbing mountains was no problem at all.

……

As several supplementary regiments and the special forces regiment led by Li Yunlong took action together to deal with the Japanese devils, there was a huge commotion. On the side of the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment, Xing Zhiguo and Ding Wei could not wait to lead the soldiers of their two regiments to charge out.

They took advantage of the Japanese unintentionally.

Achieved considerable results.

For a moment, both sides of the Zhengtai Road where the two Japanese divisions were stationed were filled with smoke!
The earth-shaking shouts and sounds of gunfire shook the entire night sky.

Amid the sound of fierce fighting, Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao climbed to the top of a hill and looked towards the west through binoculars.

There, there were constant flashes of fire and dense artillery sounds like spring thunder.

"Da Biao, the fighting in the west is so intense, could it be that the special forces group has taken action?"

Xing Zhiguo couldn't help but ask Zhang Dabiao out of curiosity.

Zhang Dabiao nodded:
"Who else has so many guns and shells besides them?"

"My goodness, they fought the Japanese for so long during the day, and they didn't let them go even at night.

Captain Yang has a big appetite!"

Xing Zhiguo sighed repeatedly.

"Humph, when Yang Yuanshan was a company commander, he dared to take care of a whole battalion of Japanese soldiers. Do you think he would have a big appetite?"

Zhang Dabiao answered sourly.

Back then, when he was a battalion commander, he only had to deal with squadrons and companies of the Japanese devils.

I dare not even think about the brigade or anything like that.

"Haha, that's right.

With the special forces regiment here, we are sure to win this battle.

But Da Biao, you have to emphasize this to our battalions, asking them not to get carried away and charge rashly, causing unnecessary casualties.

The Japanese have a lot of troops, so we should be prepared for a protracted war and defeat them bit by bit."

"Captain, this isn't necessary, is it?

If we don't fight hard, Yang Yuanshan will eat up all the meat!"

Zhang Dabiao felt that Xing Zhiguo was a cautious person, and that he was not as efficient as Li Yunlong as the head of the regiment.

Following Li Yunlong, you can fight the Japanese with a big knife whenever you have nothing to do. That's really exciting!
It always reminds him of his glorious days outside Xifengkou!
Xing Zhiguo shook his head:
"Da Biao, our regiment has suffered heavy losses in the previous battles.

If we continue to advance recklessly, we will suffer serious injuries.

Their special forces group can fight so fiercely, it is because they are very powerful! "

After hearing what he said, Zhang Dabiao suddenly felt extremely aggrieved.

Their independent regiment is definitely a first-class main force regiment in our army, and we can even say that it can crush any numbered main force regiment.

But compared to the Special Forces Regiment, there is still a huge gap.

However, in the face of the Special Forces Regiment's astonishing achievements, Zhang Dabiao did not have the slightest desire to compete with them.

They could only follow Xing Zhiguo's orders and notify the attacking battalions to keep the pace steady, not to advance rashly, to seize more weapons and ammunition, and to lose less manpower.

……

As for the Japanese, seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly worse, Saburo Nakazawa was howling in anger, but he had no idea how to break the impasse.

Upon hearing the report from the soldier at the front that the enemy was crushing along the mountain ridge from west to east, he immediately ordered Yoshino Hideki, who had not yet completely reorganized his troops, to lead his troops to advance westward, rush into the position of the Special Forces Regiment, exchange wounds for wounds, and regain the upper hand.

After receiving the order, Yoshino Hideki had to rush westward with his chief of staff Jiro Uchiyama and two squadrons of non-combat personnel that he had just reorganized from the division headquarters, no matter how reluctant he was.

At this moment, this section of Zhengtai Road was full of gunfire and bullets, and from time to time the shock waves and shrapnel from the exploding shells swept everything around the landing point.

They ran wildly along the way, and from time to time there were unlucky people who were killed by shrapnel or bullets flying from nowhere.

Yoshino Hideki felt his scalp tingling and could only shout loudly, asking everyone to walk along the mountain wall beside the road to reduce casualties.

He couldn't help but curse in his heart that Saburo Nakazawa was not a human being!

Clearly, he was the only one in command, yet he still asked me to carry out such a dangerous mission.

What a bastard!!!
