I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Outside Li Yunlong's temporary command post, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ding Wei disappear in a flash.

murmured:

"Captain Ding, why are you running so fast?

Can I still eat you?"

Then he looked at Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao who were still standing aside:
"Captain Xing, old battalion commander, do you want artillery?
How about exchanging soldiers for guns, just like Captain Ding?"

Isn't the reason why Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao didn't leave just because they were waiting for this?
Now hearing Yang Yuanshan speak, the two looked at each other, and Zhang Dabiao stepped forward to answer:

"Yang Yuanshan, of course we want that cannon.
But our group has also suffered heavy losses in manpower!"

What he said was of course an excuse.

I just want Yang Yuanshan to lower the price.

Although Yang Yuanshan saw through his little thoughts, he still smiled slightly and said generously:

"Old battalion commander, the price for replacing the guns cannot be changed.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain to Captain Ding later!
However, since you are my old battalion commander, I can give you an extra 50 flamethrowers, each equipped with 10 fuel tanks.

how about it? "

Zhang Dabiao and Xing Zhiguo turned their heads and looked at each other, and they both saw the word "satisfaction" in capital letters in each other's eyes.

After all, who wouldn't be happy with 50 flamethrowers and 500 fuel tanks for free?
Even if this is a slap in Zhang Dabiao's face, so what?

If possible, Zhang Dabiao would say: Yang Yuanshan, fill it up for me!!!
I have no shame!
……

Although he was secretly happy in his heart, Zhang Dabiao still showed disdain on his face and said relentlessly:

"That's it?
Yang Yuanshan, you are too stingy, aren't you? "

In this battle, Yang Yuanshan received a large number of equipment rewards from the dog system, so he didn't mind being hit a little more.

So I thought about it for a while and said:

"I still have 30 of the Japanese engineers' obstacle-clearing mortars, and 3000 super-caliber blasting pestles. I'll give them all to you!
This thing is very useful for dealing with the Japanese's mines, barbed wire, artillery towers, bunkers, etc.

It’s just that the range is a bit short, only about 300 to 400 meters.”

30 engineer obstacle-clearing mortars?

And there are 3000 blasting pestles?

Doesn’t this mean that the Independent Regiment will be able to easily take out the Japanese artillery towers in the future?

Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao became excited instantly.

He nodded his head quickly like a woodpecker:
"Good good!"

Seeing that Zhang Dabiao's appetite was finally satisfied, Yang Yuanshan immediately asked:
"How many mountain guns and infantry guns do you want?"

Since the benefits have been negotiated, there is no need for Zhang Dabiao to come out and show his face.

So Xing Zhiguo stepped forward to answer:
"We want four mountain guns and six infantry guns."

Yang Yuanshan was very disappointed when he heard this.

They only want 10 cannons. Doesn't that mean that after all the effort of talking, I can only get 580 people from them?
This is a bit too little.

Not enough to fill the gaps between teeth!

You know, I just deployed 50 flamethrowers and 30 obstacle-clearing mortars!
This is such a bloody loss!
He quickly said:

"Captain Xing, your independent regiment is a large regiment with tens of thousands of people. It's too shabby to only have these few cannons, isn't it?
Why not take his 12 mountain artillery pieces and set up a mountain artillery battalion?"

Xing Zhiguo smiled bitterly:
"Captain Yang, there is nothing we can do!
As you know, our regiment lost more than half of its men in this battle, with less than 5000 men left.

And there are many wounded inside.

There is no way to assign too many people to you!"

"Then Captain Ding also requested 18 more guns!
There are only a thousand or so people left in their new regiment!"

Yang Yuanshan reminded with great sorrow.

I was just about to say to Xing Zhiguo directly: I'm giving you a chance, you must seize it!
You have to stand up! Little dog!

Zhang Dabiao heard this and thought it made sense.

I couldn't help but jump out and ask Xing Zhiguo:
"Captain, how about we get a few more mountain cannons?

If you miss this opportunity, you will never find it again!"

But Xing Zhiguo still shook his head firmly:
“I don’t know where Captain Ding is going to get someone to give you, but our independent regiment really has no one to draw from.

Mountain artillery is good, but it takes someone to operate it!"

Seeing that he was not dazzled by the benefits he offered, Yang Yuanshan could only mutter in his heart: 580 people is 580 people, it's better than nothing.

It seems that the regiments in northwestern Shanxi have really been squeezed dry and have no potential to tap!

Just as he was about to decide on this matter, he suddenly had an idea and proposed:
"How about you give me some of the food that the leader has distributed to you, and I will give you a few more mountain cannons?"

Food is also what the Special Forces Regiment urgently needs now, and he doesn't want to miss it.

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but glared at him and cursed:

"Good guy!

You kid, do you want to take over our group?
You are too bad, aren't you? "

But Xing Zhiguo was moved.

We can find a way to get more food, or if that doesn’t work we can just dig up some wild vegetables and cook some!

Mountain cannon is really hard to handle!
So he quickly asked:
"How do you change it?"

"How about 5000 kilograms of fine grain in exchange for a mountain cannon and 300 rounds of artillery shells?"

Yang Yuanshan asked tentatively.

"Too expensive! I can't afford it."

Zhang Dabiao refused outright.

Li Yunlong distributed a total of 10 kilograms of fine grain to them. It was necessary to feed so many mouths in the regiment and it could not be wasted.

Xing Zhiguo also shook his head and said:
"Captain Yang, your cannon may be great, but our soldiers also need to eat to have the strength to kill the enemy!"

Seeing how pitiful he sounded, Yang Yuanshan softened his heart and lowered the price:
"Then exchange 2000 jin for one door!
Your 10 kilograms of grain can be exchanged for 50 mountain cannons!

I don’t even have that many guns for you!”

“Too expensive, no change!

Captain Yang, you can't let the soldiers of our regiment go hungry for nine meals in three days!
Besides, we still have wounded soldiers, so they need to eat some fine food!"

Xing Zhiguo shook his head repeatedly, feeling that Yang Yuanshan was too inhumane. He was going to take away all the food of his independent regiment.

It’s a pity that this kid originally came from an independent regiment!
There is no regard for the feelings of the old troops at all!
……

Seeing that his idea of ​​getting more food was about to fail, Yang Yuanshan naturally felt very regretful.

The only way is to continue to reduce the price:

“Okay, okay, then 1000 kilograms of food per door.

If it's any lower, I won't change it.

My brand new mountain cannon weighs over a thousand pounds each.

If it still doesn't get 1000 kilograms of food, it would be too insulting!"

Having said that, Xing Zhiguo knew that this was Yang Yuanshan's bottom line.

Agreed immediately.

"Okay, deal!
I'll replace it with 6 more mountain cannons!"

Yang Yuanshan was happy to have obtained another 6000 kilograms of fine grain.

After all, the soldiers cannot just eat horse meat. They have to eat it with some grain and cook meat porridge to ensure their health.

So he quickly asked:

"it is good.

I will give you 10 mountain guns and 6 infantry guns, each with 300 rounds of ammunition.

When will you give the cannon to others?"

Xing Zhiguo hesitated for a moment, paced a few steps, and then answered:

“We can give you the people and food when we return to the group.

As for the cannons, please help us place them in Heyuan County.

It will be more convenient to carry it there when we retreat and pass by later."

"OK, no problem."

Yang Yuanshan was slightly surprised and thought to himself that Xing Zhiguo was a really honest man.

He actually gave himself people and food today.

In this way, he could use these 580 people to help drive the mules and horses and transport horse meat, food, and bedding.

So delicious! …

In the following period of time, Yang Yuanshan led his soldiers to receive all the horses, horse meat, bedding and other supplies from the comrades in the division supply department.

Of course, in order to let Li Yunlong get some meat, Yang Yuanshan finally left him two dead horses.

……

While they were busy here, in Zhaojiayu.

When Zhao Gang received Li Yunlong's telegram, he felt numb all over.

I never expected that the battle would be over so quickly.

With a loss of about 6 men, they completely wiped out two Class A divisions of the Japanese, and also killed six Japanese generals in one go. It was simply shocking!

He couldn't help but praise Li Yunlong for his brilliant fight.

At the same time, I felt ashamed of my previous lack of vision.

I thought to myself: It seems that in terms of military affairs, I have to trust this guy unconditionally.

He is really good at fighting!
Zhao Gang didn't know that the victory of this battle was mainly due to the special forces regiment.

After being excited for a while, he ordered the telegraph operator to call Li Yunlong back and ask him to arrange people as soon as possible and send him a detailed battle report so that he could apply for commendation from his superiors.

……

In addition to Zhao Gang who was excited about the victory in Huangping Town, the brigade, division and headquarters were all shocked by Li Yunlong's telegram.

A battle of such a large scale ended so quickly that leaders at all levels couldn't believe it.

This is really anticlimactic!
They felt that the previous killings of Okamura Ji'ning and Tanabe Seigo were due to the special forces regiment being too lucky and getting away with it.

But now, in a battle involving tens of thousands of people, no matter how lucky you are, it is impossible to achieve such a result, right?
Everyone was thinking: Even if these Japanese devils were just tens of thousands of pigs, they couldn't be wiped out so quickly, right?

Since when did the Japanese's Class A divisions become so weak?

Worse than the traitors?
What to play???
Although they couldn't believe it, leaders at all levels did not doubt that Li Yunlong would falsely report his military achievements.

After all, they know this guy's character too well.

This guy may violate military orders, may break discipline, may act recklessly, but he will never falsely report military achievements!

What's more, the troops in northwestern Shanxi had previously dealt with several Japanese divisions and killed Kazuo Shinozuka.

Their strength is indeed strong.

Otherwise, the leaders would not have let them take action to help the troops in the Ji-Zhong Division attract firepower.

Therefore, the leaders arranged people to verify the results of the battle in Huangping Town through various channels, while forwarding this telegram to their hometown.

……

Back home, everyone, from top to bottom, was originally happy that the special forces regiment had killed Okamura Ji-ning.

I didn't expect that I would receive such a shocking piece of news now.

They were all stunned for a moment.

When the leaders heard the news, they couldn't help but laugh and kept mentioning the names Li Yunlong, Yang Yuanshan, and Ding Wei.

At the same time, he asked the announcer to broadcast the battle report without hesitation.

This is a great joyous event, so of course we should all celebrate it together!

……

As our army's radio broadcasts repeatedly reported the news, both the old man in the southwest and Yan Laokou in Kenanpo were confused.

They simply couldn't believe, nor dared to believe, that such an outrageous thing could happen.

An army of 40,000 to 50,000 people was completely wiped out by a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers, and they only lost 15,000 people. Isn't this nonsense?
The old man from the southwest even felt that the German, Soviet, and even the American equipment that was about to arrive for his army, which he had worked so hard to obtain, seemed to have lost its meaning.

After all, the Eighth Route Army, with their simple equipment, was able to beat the Japanese to a pulp.

But what about our own troops?
We have no shortage of equipment and ammunition, but in terms of battle results, we are simply no match for others!

He could never imagine that the troops in northwestern Shanxi could continuously achieve world-shaking results, all thanks to Yang Yuanshan's cheating.

The artillery power of the special forces regiment is much stronger than his German, Soviet and even American equipment.

Just those artillery pieces and shells that seemed to never run out were enough to make the Whampoa generals under his command so envious that they almost shed tears!
Even though these so-called old men's direct descendants nominally have no shortage of weapons and ammunition, every time they receive supplies, they have to give a share of the profits to the people in charge of military supplies.

It's impossible to waste it casually.

Moreover, once the bullets and shells are used up, it will take a long time to replenish them.

They may even be investigated to see if they are reselling the products.

……

Ordinary people all over the country saw that within just a few days, the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi had brought two shocking victories.

Suddenly, I felt more and more that victory in the war of resistance was in sight.

People couldn't help but take to the streets to celebrate the good news of victory.

At the same time, they actively donated money and materials and even encouraged their own children to go to the northwest to join our army.

Even many smart people who originally said things like "the gap in strength between the enemy and us is too big" and "an agricultural country has no chance of winning against an industrial country" began to waver.

They vaguely felt that this little Japanese devil would be finished sooner or later!

Even the guy who had "drawn the sword into one piece" felt a little panicked, feeling that he had made a bad move.

I couldn't help but curse quietly:

"How can these little devils be so useless? What trash!"

……

In Jinyang city.

Kazuo Iwamatsu and Prince Sakuhiko Asaka were almost frightened to death by the news.

Then he immediately rushed into the telecommunications room, urged the telegraph operator, and urgently contacted the 1st and 8th Divisions to find out what was going on.

After all, even if two divisions were to be wiped out, they should at least have a farewell telegram sent out, right?

They didn't know that a telegraph operator from the Japanese Eighth Division had indeed sent a farewell message last night, but in a panic, it was sent directly to the Hebei-North Front Army Headquarters.

After all, they were transferred from the Liaodong Army and have been in direct contact with that side.

It’s a pity that the Hebei-North Front Army Headquarters is now in chaos, with no one in charge, as both Okamura Ji-ning and Tanabe Seigo are dead.

Therefore, no one paid attention to this telegram, and it was not sent to their First Army at the same time.

……

The First Army's telegraph operators, urged by the two bosses, kept calling the First and Eighth Divisions, but of course, nothing happened.

After half an hour, he could only stand up and report:

"Commander, General, the radio stations of the 1st and 8th Divisions are all unresponsive!

It seems...it seems to be damaged!"

At this moment, both Iwamatsu Kazuo and Prince Sakuhiko Asaka felt that something was wrong.

In the Class A division, the troops carry more than just one or two radio stations.

How could they all be damaged at the same time?

So Iwamatsu Kazuo quickly gave another order:

"Send a telegram to the front headquarters to inquire!"

"Hi!"

The telegraph operator agreed and prepared to sit down to work immediately.

However, Prince Asaka Sakuhiko interrupted:
"No, there is no need to send it to the front.

Send a message directly to the Expeditionary Force Commander!"

Then he saw that Yansong Yixiong looked a little surprised, and immediately said angrily:

"idiot!
Yansong-kun, have you forgotten that Okamura-kun has died? ? ? "

Iwamatsu Kazuo was naturally very upset after being scolded suddenly.

But the next second, he suddenly remembered that Okamura Ji-ning and Tanabe Seigo were both dead.

The front headquarters must have been in chaos, and sending a telegram would probably not produce any results.

So, I could only nod awkwardly and forcefully change the subject and ask:

"General, if the 1st and 8th divisions have really been completely destroyed, then the three-pronged attack plan planned by the commander will definitely not be realized. What should we do now?"

When Prince Sakuhiko Asaka saw that this guy threw this difficult problem on him, he suddenly felt a splitting headache.

I was roaring madly in my heart: Damn it!
Shouldn't this be something that should be considered by you, the commander of the First Army?

I'm just a consultant!
asshole! ! !
