I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

As soon as the Japanese arrived, the battalion commander Xu Wei of the 1st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment saw them with a telescope.

While arranging for someone to send a telegram to Yang Yuanshan to report the situation, he immediately ordered the entire battalion to prepare for battle.

Seeing the Japanese troops numbering thousands, he felt tremendous pressure.

Now, after the losses in yesterday's battle, his battalion only has a few hundred people left.

Although there are trenches to rely on now, the disadvantage is still very obvious when facing such a large number of enemy forces!
Even an elephant can be killed by ants, let alone the Japanese devils, who are definitely not ants that can be killed by just raising your foot.

……

Instructor Zhao Shihong asked him worriedly:
"Battalion Commander, the Japanese are coming in large numbers. Do you want to ask the regiment commander to transfer Chu Kun and his men's recoilless guns to help?

With their dozens of artillery pieces, we won't be afraid even if all the Japanese come at us together."

Xu Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head:
“Chu Kun and his men fought all night last night, and they must be very tired now. They don’t have much fighting power, so it’s hard to count on them.

Let's not be hasty. The ridge is not wide enough, and it is impossible for thousands of Japanese to charge at the same time.

We also have 24 infantry guns and recoilless guns. Our artillery power is definitely superior to that of the Japanese!

Let’s try it first, and if it doesn’t work, then ask the leader for help.”

"OK then!"

Zhao Shihong nodded.

……

In the temporary command post of the special forces regiment.

Yang Yuanshan heard the faint sound of cloth tearing coming from the position of the Third Battalion in the south, and immediately realized that the Third Battalion had begun to exchange fire with the Japanese.

He immediately said to Zhan Haishan:

"The Japanese were in a hurry. They just arrived and started attacking without any rest or reorganization."

Zhan Haishan nodded:
"Captain, it's probably our artillery that made the Japanese angry."

Yang Yuanshan laughed:
"Hahaha, it's better to be anxious!

It’s easy to make mistakes when you’re impatient, and those are our opportunities!”

……

At this time, a telegraph operator rushed over and reported to him:
"Commander, the first battalion called and said that there were about a regiment of Japanese soldiers in front of them!
Preparations are underway to launch an offensive.”

"My goodness, the Japanese are attacking with two regiments, what a big deal!"

Yang Yuanshan sighed and immediately gave the order:
"Call the First Battalion back and tell them to hold their ground firmly.

If you can't hold on any longer, please report and request support immediately, and I will send troops to support them!"

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator agreed and prepared for action.

But Yang Yuanshan stopped him again and added:
"Also send a telegram to Lao He of the Second Battalion, reminding them to be on guard. A large Japanese force may appear right in front of them soon!"

"understand!"

……

Outside the town entrance east of Huangping Town, at the position of the Second Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

Battalion commander He Yunfu was observing the situation at the third battalion's position through a telescope with a nervous look on his face.

Once that place was lost, the Japanese could set up infantry artillery and bombard their positions from a high position, so he couldn't help but be nervous.

At this time, the telegraph operator rushed over to report to him:

"Battalion Commander, the regiment commander is calling!

It was said that there were about a regiment of Japanese soldiers on each of the ridges to the north and south of us, and it was likely that the entire Japanese army had been dispatched.

It is expected that the enemy will appear in front of us soon, so please be alert!"

He Yunfu nodded to indicate that he understood.

After sending the telegraph operator away, he turned around and looked through the telescope toward the end of the road east of his position.

After a moment, he frowned.

He gave a loud order:
"Comrades, get ready!
The Japs are coming soon!"

Hearing his order, the soldiers of the Second Battalion immediately took their positions, lay down at the edge of the trenches, and prepared to open fire.

……

Deputy Battalion Commander Xia Dayi immediately rushed to his side and asked anxiously:

"Battalion Commander, how many Japanese soldiers have arrived? Where are they?"

As he spoke, he picked up the telescope around his neck and looked into the distance.

"It's not clear how many people there are right now, but it's definitely a large group of Japanese soldiers coming."

He Yunfu answered with a serious expression.

Xia Dayi searched carefully for a long time and finally saw at the limit of his vision the figures of the Japanese soldiers struggling to advance westward under artillery fire.

He said excitedly:

"Okay, well come on!
If they hadn't come, our entire battalion would still be sitting here bored!"

Then he reminded He Yunfu:

"Battalion Commander, do we need to report this to the regiment?"

He Yunfu shook his head:
"Don't worry, wait until the Japs get closer and see how many of them there are."

……

About half an hour later, a large number of Japanese soldiers appeared in the sight of He Yunfu and Xia Dayi, sticking to the mountain walls on both sides of the road.

However, after they reached a position about 2 kilometers in front of the Second Battalion's position, they did not move forward, but stopped on the spot and lay on the ground, as if waiting for the terrifying artillery shells overhead to stop first.

Seeing this, Xia Dayi quickly asked He Yunfu:

"Battalion Commander, the Japs won't move forward, what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Just wait!"

He Yunfu was a little unhappy.

This is what a blocking war is like, the initiative on the battlefield is completely in the hands of the enemy.

If the enemy does not attack, it is impossible for us to give up the terrain advantage, leave the trenches and go forward to challenge the enemy.

Upon hearing this, Xia Dayi took off his military cap in dissatisfaction and fanned himself.

At this time, He Yunfu pondered again:
“It seems that the Japs are either waiting for their colleagues on the ridge to seize the positions of the first and third battalions and provide them with cover from a high position.

Or maybe they are waiting for Yuanzhi and Gensheng's mountain artillery and heavy mortars to go silent!"

"These bastards have a nice idea!"

Xia Dayi was still quite confident in the fighting ability of his comrades, and he responded with full confidence.

Then suggested:

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese thought they were safe if they hid 2 kilometers away.

Should we let the artillery company open fire and give them a hard blast?
Anyway, we have no shortage of ammunition, and we are not afraid of wasting it!"

He Yunfu thought about it for a moment, then shook his head cautiously:

"There's no need to expose our artillery positions now!

If the Japanese hide a few howitzers in the back and wait for us to fire, we will be in trouble."

After he said this, Xia Dayi also felt that it made sense.

But he still didn't want to see the little devil disgusting him 2 kilometers away, so he continued to suggest:
"Battalion Commander, it's not that convenient to move the infantry gun position, how about we let the recoilless gun fire?

Their guns are light and portable, and each person can fire two rounds before retreating to the anti-gun cave. Even if the Japanese have howitzers waiting, there is no need to be afraid, right?"

Although the effective range of the M18 57mm recoilless gun is only 450 meters, its maximum range is more than 3900 meters.

So now, even if the Japanese are hiding 2 kilometers away, they are still within the coverage of their artillery fire!

As long as the 12 recoilless guns assigned to the Third Battalion don't mind wasting shells and frantically provide fire coverage, they will definitely make the Japanese lose face and suffer a severe loss!

When He Yunfu heard Xia Dayi's suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly nodded in agreement:

"Okay! Lao Xia, go and arrange this.

Remember to have the gunners retreat to the edge of the open space behind our position and open fire, so as not to attract the Japanese heavy artillery.

I'll ask the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the regiment commander." "Okay!"

Xia Dayi agreed and left in a hurry.

……

In Huangping Town, Yang Yuanshan received news from He Yunfu and immediately understood the overall layout of the Japanese devils.

To Zhan Haishan:
“Haishan, it looks like the Japanese are about to launch a full-scale attack.

The two regiments attacked from the ridge, preparing to seize the commanding heights.

One or two regiments will break through from the front."

“Yes, the most intense moment of this battle is coming.

However, according to the Japanese's organization, a Class A division has only 2 infantry brigades and 4 regiments.

Now they are coming out in full force!
After all, we should have taken care of at least two or three of their regiments last night and tonight!"

Zhan Haishan also felt a little sad.

His words instantly enlightened Yang Yuanshan.

He couldn't help but speak:
"Huh--

Haishan, do you think the Japanese mobilized in such a large scale because they could not bear the bombardment of our artillery, so they had to mobilize the entire army without even leaving any reserves?

Are you ready for a decisive battle? "

Zhan Haishan nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice:
"Definitely is!

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so desperate!"

"Haha, so, as long as we take care of these four regiments, then the two divisions in front of us will be finished?
Good man, if we wipe out this group of Japanese devils directly in Huangping Town, wouldn’t we be able to scare the Japanese devils to death?”

Yang Yuanshan walked a few steps in the temporary command center and couldn't help feeling very excited.

This battle seemed much easier than he expected!

After thinking about it, he felt that his pre-war deployment seemed a bit conservative.

They actually thought that after blocking the enemy for two or three days, they would retreat, stretch the Japanese front line, and defeat them one by one.

Zhan Haishan was also somewhat excited by the prospects he described.

Who would dare to believe that they completely wiped out two Class A divisions of the Japanese in one battle? ! !

But he is older and more stable.

He quickly restrained himself and reminded:
"Commander, let's not be too optimistic yet. Let's first see how the battalions fight against the three or four regiments of the Japanese.

As long as we can hold out until dark, we can launch a night attack on the Japanese and take great advantage of them.

As for whether to completely annihilate the enemy or not, there is no need to force it.

Anyway, as long as we cripple them, the New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment and other units will definitely not let the Japanese have a chance to escape."

"Yes, Not Bad.

We still have to fight smartly.”

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Listening to the violent explosion outside, he muttered again:
"The Japanese artillerymen carry a lot of shells!

The artillery battle has lasted for so long, and they haven't used up all their ammunition yet!"

Then he ordered:

"Haishan, send someone to inform the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Battalions that if the Japanese attack is too fierce, there is no need to fight them to the death!
We can retreat in stages and leave the frontline positions to them. We still have defensive positions in Huangping Town!

Don't let these positions go to waste!
After all, the soldiers spent so much energy digging it out!"

"Yes!"

……

At the position of the Second Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

Xia Dayi quickly arranged the gunners of the recoilless rifles and prepared them to fire.

Then he ran back and asked He Yunfu, who had just sent the telegram to Yang Yuanshan:
"Captain, shall we fire?"

He Yunfu used a telescope to look at the Japanese soldiers. He saw a large group of them, still clinging to the mountain wall, squatting on the ground, avoiding the shells that kept falling from the sky. He immediately gave the order:

"Fire! Let the Japs have a taste of our shells!"

Hearing his order, the flag bearer next to him immediately waved the flag in his hand.

Then, the soldiers of the Second Battalion heard the "bang bang bang" sounds of artillery fire and the "whoosh whizz" sounds of flying shells.

Twelve 12*57 mm artillery shells cut through the sky and hit the Japanese.

……

At this moment, the person in charge of leading his two regiments and preparing to launch a head-on attack on the Special Forces Regiment was Major General Nobuhiro Fujita, commander of the 8th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese 16th Division.

At this moment, he was climbing up a protruding rock on the mountain wall on the north side of Zhengtai Road with his chief of staff, Colonel Isamu Matsumoto, and observing the position of the Second Battalion in front of them with a telescope.

Then he saw 12 shells falling from the sky.

He immediately screamed:

"Baga! Artillery fire! Quick, get out of the way!"

Then he crawled down the rock in a panic.

This rock is only two or three meters high and is not difficult to climb.

But at this moment, he was in a panic and accidentally stepped on empty air and rolled down from above.

He sat down on the ground with a plop.

As luck would have it, there was a small stone on the ground that hit his coccyx, causing him to cover his butt and scream like a pig being slaughtered:

"what--"

Seeing him like this, the guards who were originally guarding under the rocks suddenly felt a chill on their backs and rushed forward to try to help him up.

At this moment, the 12 long shells in the sky had already fallen to the ground.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Amid a series of explosions, the Japanese soldiers couldn't help but let out shrill screams.

The artillerymen of the third battalion knew that the Japanese were hiding at the foot of the mountain wall, so this time they did not fire towards the middle of the road.

Instead, he aimed at the mountain wall above their heads.

So after the explosion, many rocks were blown down and smashed the Japanese soldiers below who were already killed or injured by the shock wave of the explosion, causing them to bleed from their heads and scream in pain.

There was even a small section of the hillside that collapsed, burying dozens of Japanese soldiers who had no time to escape.

……

Seeing this scene, the brigade commander Fujita Nobuhiro didn't even bother to cover his butt. His eyes bulged and he shouted loudly:

“Bagya Road!
Quick, order Hashimoto Takuya to fire back immediately!!!
Destroy the Tubalu's artillery for me!!!"

Hearing his order, the Chief of Staff Matsumoto Yufu, who was still on the rocks and did not dare to jump down, shouted:
"Your Excellency, the brigade commander, the Eighth Route Army's artillery is firing from 3 kilometers away. Our infantry artillery can't reach it!"

Hearing this, Fujita Nobuhiro suddenly screamed:
"What? The range of the Tubalu artillery is so far?"

The next second, he felt the sharp pain in his buttocks again, and couldn't help but scream again:

"what--"

While climbing down from the rock, Matsumoto Yuufu looked at him suspiciously.

At this time, Fujita Nobuhiro's guards rushed over and helped him up from the ground.

Matsumoto Yufu saw that there seemed to be a sharp stone with some blood on it where the other person had just sat, and he suddenly felt his anus tighten.

I thought: Hiss...

Your Excellency, the brigade commander, I'm afraid you were...

This is too miserable!
