I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

On Zhengtai Road, east of Huangping Town.

The two squadrons led by the Japanese brigade commander Yoshino Hideki used grenade launchers to carry out intensive artillery fire in the front to detonate most of the mines, while using the wounded as human mine sweepers to detonate the few remaining mines. Their progress was not slow.

On the other hand, at the Second Battalion's position, the soldiers were making preparations for battle in an orderly manner, and they were all very excited as they heard the noises of the mines being triggered one after another.

Everyone was thinking: I didn’t have meat to eat today, and I’m a little unhappy.

I didn't expect that the Japanese would come to our doorstep now. They are so sensible!

Are they afraid that we will be in a bad mood and unable to sleep?

They are pretty nice people!
……

Second Battalion Commander He Yunfu was using a telescope to carefully observe the movements on the eastern road, but in the dim night, he could only see blurry human figures.

Seeing that he had not given the order to take action, the deputy battalion commander Xia Dayi beside him became a little anxious and spoke up to remind him:
"Battalion Commander, judging from the sound of mines exploding, the Japanese are estimated to be less than 200 meters away from us. Should we order the artillery to open fire?

We can't let them clear all our landmines, can we?
Otherwise, all the mines we spent so much time laying would be wasted!"

He Yunfu shook his head:
"There are only two squadrons of Japs here. If our artillery fires at full strength, I'm afraid they will turn around and run away.

Then we won’t be able to eat any meat!
It's pitch dark here, and there's a minefield in front of our position, so it's not appropriate to send troops out to pursue them."

"So how are you going to fight?"

Xia Dayi asked quickly.

He knew that the other side was planning to keep all of this group of Japanese devils alive, without leaving a single one alive!

This is so exciting!

"Let the Japanese get within 100 meters and then open fire. Use artillery to block their retreat!"

He Yunfu replied coldly.

"Put it in 100 meters?
Battalion Commander, isn't this too risky?
If I mess up, I will be embarrassed to my grandma's house!"

Xia Dayi frowned and reminded.

"Don't worry! The Japanese only have two squadrons, about 300 people.

What's there to worry about?
The light and heavy machines, grenade launchers, and box guns in our hands are not vegetarian either.

Besides, if the Japanese want to level this minefield, they will have to lose dozens or even hundreds of people, right?

By then, how much strength will they have to rush to you and me?

We have an easy way to deal with them!"

He Yunfu is full of confidence.

Xia Dayi thought about it for a while and felt that this was indeed the case. He nodded immediately:
"Okay. Then should we send someone to inform the leader, so that he doesn't hear what we are doing here and get worried?"

“No need!

Don't disturb the captain's sleep, wait until we have eliminated these little devils!"

He Yunfu waved his hand with great momentum.

Xia Dayi couldn't help rolling his eyes and muttered:

"It's been a mess tonight, how can the captain still sleep?"

He Yunfu heard this and smiled:
"Old Xia, you still don't understand the captain. This little scene means nothing to the captain!

It certainly won’t disturb his sleep.”

Afterwards, he immediately arranged for a communicator to quickly convey his specific deployment to each company under his command.

The company commanders naturally did not dare to neglect the order and immediately passed it down.

Soon, the entire Second Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment made final preparations!

……

At this time, in the temporary command post of the Japanese 1st Division, the division commander Saburo Nakazawa was like an ant on hot pan, waiting for good news from all sides.

However, he waited and waited but there was no news. He was so anxious that he kept asking the sentry outside:

"Did Masao Yano send anyone to report back?"

"no!"

"Any news about Nishijima Yuya?"

"no!"

"Baka! Where's Yoshino Hideki?"

"nor!"

The sentry was a little trembling, not knowing whether he should send someone to ask what was happening on the battlefield.

It’s really a bit difficult to deal with these two people who didn’t send anyone back to deliver the message!
What to play???
When Saburo Nakazawa heard that there was no movement in several directions, he suddenly kicked a stone and roared wildly:
"Bagayalu! These incompetent rubbish!!!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his foot, as if it was broken.

He immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

"what--"

……

Saburo Nakazawa didn't know whether Masao Yano and Yuya Nishijima were working hard, but at least Hideki Yoshino was working very hard.

The two squadrons he led were now advancing with heavy casualties.

The ferocity of the German-made S-shaped mines made many Japanese soldiers feel a chill on their backs and crotches.

However, as they got closer and closer to Huangping Town, Yoshino Hideki was still very excited and shouted:
"Warriors, move forward quickly, victory will soon belong to us!"

Hearing his call, the Japanese soldiers forced themselves to cheer up and quickened their pace by three times.

However, just as they had consumed hundreds of grenades and had fifty or sixty injured cannon fodder who had to continue clearing mines with their bodies, suddenly countless flames appeared in the darkness ahead!

"Zizzizi...zizizi..."

Gunshots rang out like tearing cloth, and dozens of tongues of fire suddenly appeared, turning dozens of soldiers at the front of their team into sieves. They fell to the ground with a bang before they could even utter a scream.

Yoshino Hideki was so frightened that he shouted loudly:

"Baga! The Eighth Route Army has set up an ambush!

Hurry up, get down! Turn back!!!"

Of course, he was not stupid. When he saw so many heavy machine guns, he instantly realized that the enemy must have a large number of people!
The reason why they were brought so close before suddenly opening fire was, without a doubt, to swallow them in one gulp!
If you don't run away, you'd be extremely stupid.

This is not the way to be loyal to His Majesty Tian Huang!
However, before he finished his words, he heard the whoosh sound of flying shells in the sky.

A clever Japanese officer panicked instantly:

"Bombardment! Get out of the way!"

As they shouted, countless shells landed.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Amid the intensive explosions, the Japanese suffered heavy casualties.

Even Yoshino Hideki, who was hiding at the back, was blown into the sky by a shell.

This guy thought that hiding at the end of the team was the safest.

However, they never expected that the focus of the artillery bombardment from the Second Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment was to strike their rear and block their escape route.

He was the cat at the back and was the first to be hit!

……

Once the team leader Yoshino Hideki died, the Japanese army fell into chaos.

Without a leader, facing the brutal attack of the Second Battalion of the Special Service Regiment, these Japanese soldiers, who had just been forcibly organized, fell apart in an instant.

Some of them lay on the ground, daring not to move, and were eventually killed by artillery shells.

There were also some who fled frantically, trying to escape this hell on earth, but were shot into bloody pulps by heavy machine gun bullets.

Yoshino Hideki's chief of staff, Uchiyama Jiro, originally wanted to stand up and give orders, but as soon as he raised his head and shouted a few times, a bullet flew from nowhere and shattered his head, making him deader than dead.

Less than 20 minutes later, their two squadrons were completely wiped out, and no one escaped.

...At the second battalion of the special forces regiment, He Yunfu observed through the flashes of the exploding shells that the Japanese troops seemed to have stopped moving, and immediately gave the order:

“Stop firing!
Quan Feihu, take your company to clean up the battlefield. Be careful to take a detour and don't step on our landmines!
Heavy machine gunners from the first and second companies, pay attention to cover!
Be careful of the Japs' tricks! "

"Yes!"

The third company commander Quan Feihu roared and led his soldiers, holding guns, and rushed out of the position.

For the convenience of lighting, they also brought several flashlights that they had previously seized from the Japanese.

Soon, they came to the Japanese side and shot to death the few wounded Japanese soldiers who still wanted to shoot in resistance.

Then he simply cleaned up the battlefield.

——Mainly to count the number of Japanese devils.

The weapons and equipment of the Japanese devils were not rare at all for the members of the special forces regiment.

……

Just as the soldiers were working carefully, suddenly, someone shouted excitedly:

"Captain, there's a little Japanese general here!"

When Quan Feihu heard this, he was immediately surprised. He rushed over and took a closer look with a flashlight.

There was indeed a body of an officer on the ground, his body blown to pieces, but he was still holding a general's sword in his hand, and there was a gold star on the collar badge on his shoulder.

There is no doubt that this is the body of Yoshino Hideki.

He immediately took off the saber, collar badge and epaulettes, and excitedly ordered:

"Quick, check to see if there are any other high-ranking Japanese officers.

Let's look for some documents or something to get some information!"

……

Together with the soldiers in the company, Quan Feihu spent more than ten minutes conducting a simple inspection of all the bodies of the Japanese devils. After collecting some intact guns and ammunition, he led his men to retreat back to the position of the Second Battalion.

After sending the soldiers back to their original positions to rest, Quan Feihu carried a lot of things and ran to report to He Yunfu:
"Battalion Commander, this group of devils has about 350 people in total, which should be the organization of two squadrons.

But what was strange was that the officers leading them were a major general and a colonel.

These are the general and deputy officer swords we seized, as well as the documents we found on them.”

He Yunfu was very surprised when he heard this.

He didn't expect that he would catch two big fish tonight!
What a surprise!

I was muttering to myself: Isn't this too extravagant? They actually appointed a major general or a colonel as a squadron leader?
He quickly reached out to take the document handed to him by Quan Feihu, opened it, and found that it was all written in Japanese characters. He didn't recognize any of them, and his face was immediately embarrassed.

After putting the blood-stained document away and putting it in his pocket, He Yunfu took the two sabers and checked them. He found that they were indeed the general's sword and the deputy officer's sword, and his brows were immediately filled with joy.

He casually threw the general's sword with a golden tassel to his guard and said:

"Zheng Fu, help me put away this knife!"

Then he packed up all the other things that Quan Feihu had handed over and prepared to report to the regiment headquarters.

Seeing his actions, Quan Feihu was stunned.

He quickly asked:
"Captain, you're not going to hand in this general's sword?"

"What is a general's sword?

Wasn't the Japanese general's sword blown away and can't be found?"

He Yunfu answered casually.

Then he ignored the other party and told the deputy battalion commander Xia Dayi who saw everything:
"Old Xia, you take care of the position. I'll go report to the regiment commander."

After saying this, he ran away with several guards.

Looking at his brisk figure in the trench, Quan Feihu was stunned and confused.

I couldn't help but say to Xia Dayi with great regret:
"Deputy Battalion Commander Xia, do you think I shouldn't hand over this officer's sword?
This is a great thing, I wish I could keep it for myself to play with!
Anyway, the battalion commander is not going to hand it over to the regiment."

Xia Dayi slapped him on the forehead:

"If you want the Japanese saber, just pick up a lieutenant's sword on the battlefield and be happy!

What kind of sweet dream are you having of still wanting to be an official?

That thing, are you qualified to collect it as a company commander?"

Quan Feihu suddenly came to his senses and scratched his head awkwardly:

"Hey, can't I just think about it now?"

Then he ran to his own position in a flash.

Xia Dayi looked at his back, smiled and shook his head.

I was wondering if He Yunfu could keep the general's sword he had hidden.

The team leader is not someone who can be easily fooled!
Then he arranged people to strengthen the guard post while ordering the other soldiers in the battalion to continue resting.

……

Speaking of He Yunfu, he hurried to the temporary regiment headquarters with the seized items.

Yang Yuanshan was seen lying in the corner and sleeping soundly, while Zhan Haishan was walking around in the room, seemingly thinking about the battle situation.

Seeing him coming, Zhan Haishan quickly stretched out his hand to signal him not to speak so as not to disturb Yang Yuanshan.

Then he walked out the door and asked in a low voice:

"Captain He, I just heard artillery fire over there?

what happened? "

He Yunfu nodded:
"That's right, two squadrons of the Japanese with little combat effectiveness came to pick on the wildfire, but we wiped them out.

But what is strange is that the leader of this group of Japanese devils was actually a major general and a colonel.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhan, this is what we seized."

As he said that, he handed the thing in his hand to Zhan Haishan.

"Good fellow, a major general and a colonel are coming with two squadrons?"

Zhan Haishan was also very surprised.

He quickly took the collar badges, epaulettes, sword, documents and other items he handed over.

After a quick inspection, he asked suspiciously:

“There’s no problem with the collar badges, epaulettes, etc.

But why is this saber a lieutenant officer's saber? Where is the general officer's saber?"

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across He Yunfu's face, and then he pretended to be calm and said:
“It was too dark, and the comrades below said they didn’t see anything.

Maybe it was blown up by our artillery fire. We just spent less than half an hour fighting and consumed hundreds of shells."

"Well, that's a shame."

Zhan Haishan had no idea there was anything fishy going on, so he nodded and put the matter aside. After all, it wasn’t important.

Instead, he said seriously:
"Tell me the specific details of the Japs' attack!"

"Yes!"

He Yunfu agreed and explained to Zhan Haishan in detail what had happened in the battle.

After hearing his words, Zhan Haishan secretly praised the other party for his good work, and asked in confusion:

"It sounds like this group of devils is very abnormal!
These three hundred people, with no artillery cover, but only some grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and so on, are rushing towards your position?

Are their commanders all fools?"

Of course, He Yunfu had no answer to this question and could only smile awkwardly:
“It’s really strange.

However, our artillery fire was so fierce that we didn’t capture any prisoners after cleaning up the battlefield. We really don’t understand why they did that.”

When Zhan Haishan heard him mention the prisoners, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

I thought to myself: How dare you mention prisoners to me?

Do you really think I don't know how you guys work?
