I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

On the east city wall of Heyuan County.

Guo Youqing, commander of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, became anxious when he discovered that the Japanese were showing signs of retreat.

He cursed angrily:
"Damn you little Japanese, I was just warming up and you guys want to run away?
Isn't that too rubbish?"

He couldn't help but be anxious——

The maximum range of the dozen or so Suloton machine guns in his hands is only 5600 meters.

Now the Japanese vanguard is three or four kilometers away from them. Once they retreat about 1500 meters, these artillery pieces will only be able to hit the air.

So he immediately shouted eagerly:

"Comrades, speed up your shooting! The Japs are trying to escape!
Don't wait until the cooked duck flies away before you blame me for not giving you a chance to eat meat!"

Hearing his shout, all the gunners in the battalion became anxious.

He quickly sped up his movements by three times and shouted loudly:
"Ammunition man, reload quickly!!!

Quick, quick, quick!!!"

Along with these shouts one after another, countless 20mm caliber artillery shells rushed towards the Japanese devils like locusts in a locust plague.

Every bullet is fatal!

They were beaten so hard that they suffered terribly!

But this is not their saddest moment——

……

On the city wall, Han Yang also saw the Japanese devils begin to evacuate.

Immediately proposed to Zhan Haishan:

"Old Zhan, let Old Gao and Old Wang open fire, shall we?

Otherwise these bastards would have run away."

Zhan Haishan nodded:
"it is good!"

Then he motioned to the messenger beside him to pass on the message, and said to Ye Shuqiang beside him:
"Captain Ye, I think your soldiers can prepare to leave the city, chase the Japanese, and pick up some equipment."

Ye Shuqiang was a little confused when he heard this.

The war just started not long ago, right?
How come we are about to win?
He asked immediately with a look of disbelief:

"Captain Zhan, are you saying that the Japanese are going to be defeated???"

Zhan Haishan nodded:
“Well, that should be fine.

Even if it’s not a total rout, it’s at least a minor one!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuqiang and Qiao Youde next to him looked at each other in surprise.

But after a few seconds, they decided to believe what Zhan Haishan said.

So Qiao Youde stood up and said:
"Old Ye, you command here, I will lead the two to kill them!"

"it is good!"

……

Over at the 1st and 2nd Artillery Battalions of the Special Forces Regiment, Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng were bored as they listened to the fire of machine guns on the city wall.

They had already directed the gunners, and under the guidance of the observer, they had adjusted the artillery parameters and were waiting for Zhan Haishan's artillery order.

At this time, an observer saw a flag waving on the city wall and immediately shouted excitedly:
"Commander! Commander!

Captain Zhan ordered us to fire! "

Following this shout, Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng immediately gave loud orders:
"Everyone, blow them up!"

Almost at the moment the order was given, the mountain artillery, heavy mortars, and self-propelled howitzers originally deployed on the streets of Heyuan County all spewed out tongues of fire into the eastern sky.

The sound of "bang bang bang" artillery fire filled the air.

More than thirty huge artillery shells appeared in the sky in an instant, flew over the high city walls, and smashed towards the Japanese.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment and the Supplementary Regiment were all stunned when they saw such a grand scene.

Everyone was thinking: Isn’t the artillery of the special forces regiment too casual?
Just fire dozens of guns at once without any calibration?
If we miss the target, wouldn't that be a waste of a lot of shells?
……

Over there with the little devil.

After ordering the entire army to retreat, Hayashi Yoshitaro kept staring at the battlefield through a telescope.

I was very anxious.

His brigade was originally in the eastern part of Shandong Province, where it was badly defeated by our troops in the eastern part of Shandong Province and was forced to withdraw to the capital for reorganization and replenishment.

Although the personnel have been restored to basically full strength, the combat effectiveness is obviously still far from enough.

So at this moment, he was very worried that his men would suffer heavy losses during the retreat.

As a veteran of the battlefield, he knew very well that compared with attacking and retreating, retreating would test the training level and tactical qualities of the troops more.

Then, he suddenly discovered that many black spots appeared in the distant sky.

In an instant, he screamed:
"Baga! Artillery fire?!!!"

Then he couldn't help cursing:

“Bagya Road!
We have fallen into a trap. The Tubalu have so many artillerymen, it is definitely not just one regiment!!!"

He felt that, judging from the configuration of this heavy artillery, the enemy probably had at least one or two divisions!
And just as he finished speaking, these dense black dots suddenly smashed towards his soldiers who were either running for their lives or crawling back.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The earth-shaking sound of the artillery shells exploding made Hayashi Yoshitaro realize that these were definitely heavy artillery!
At least 75mm caliber!

Amid the explosions, the soldiers under his command were blown to the ground, it was a horrific sight!
Often a 120mm heavy mortar shell can clear an area of ​​nearly meters around the impact point!

He almost wanted to roar to the sky and question Okamura Ji-ning: Is this the enemy's heartland that you told me about? It must be very weak?

If this is called weakness, then what about my brigade that doesn't even have a mountain cannon?
The belly of the fish?
……

As his thoughts raced, Hayashi Yoshitaro could no longer care about continuing to watch the battle, and suddenly rushed towards the temporary command post that had not yet been built, shouting as he rushed:

"Hamazaki Masahiko, you bastard, haven't you contacted the front headquarters yet?"

Hearing his shout, the other party rushed out of the tent, holding a telegram and shouting in panic:
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, something bad has happened!"

Seeing the panic-stricken expression on this guy's face, Lin Fangtaro immediately felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

I had the worst feeling in my heart!
He immediately yelled:
"Baga! Show your warrior courage!
The sky won’t fall!”

After hearing this, Hamasaki Masahiko calmed down a little.

Then he reported anxiously:
"The front army headquarters called and said that the 1st and 8th divisions have been completely destroyed!"

"What? All of us dying together? How is that possible!

They are two Class A divisions!!!"

Hayashi Yoshitaro was anxious and angry, and felt like the sky was falling.

I almost fainted on the spot.

Isn’t this a scam?

He led an entire brigade, traveling day and night, and worked tirelessly to help the two divisions cooperate, but in the end, they were destroyed first!
And in such a short time!

It’s simply outrageous!

He instantly understood why the enemies in Heyuan County had such powerful artillery capabilities!

This must be the victorious army retreating from the battlefield in Huangping Town!

……

Thinking that he might be trapped in a jar, Hayashi Yoshitaro shouted:
"Hamazaki-kun, hurry up!

Send a telegram to ask the Commander whether we should move to Shimen City immediately! ! "

Upon hearing this, Hamasaki Masahiko did not turn around to do his work, but continued to answer with a sad face:

"Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, has also died!"

"What? Hamasaki-kun, are you kidding me?"

Hayashi Yoshitaro was full of doubts about his life. He was the commander of a front army, but he suddenly died in just a few days. What the hell is this!!!

Of course, Hamasaki Masahiko also knew how outrageous his words were.

But this information was just received and repeatedly confirmed by the telegraph operator right under his nose, so he had to believe it whether he wanted to or not.

So at this moment, I can only bite the bullet and continue:
"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, not only did the Commander die in battle, but even the Chief of Staff... also died in battle."

“Nani???”

Hayashi Yotaro's mouth opened so wide that it looked as if he could swallow a cow.

I feel like my three perspectives have been shattered.

He just stood there for a full minute!

Then he came to his senses and shouted angrily:

"Who is in charge of the front now?

what should we do? "

Hamasaki Masahiko quickly replied:

"Commander-in-Chief of the Dispatch Force has ordered us to abandon our mission and immediately move to Shimen City and await new orders!"

Hearing this, Lin Fangtaro felt relieved.

This time, he took a small path to launch a surprise attack. Apart from a few Type 92 infantry guns, he did not bring any heavy weapons. There was no way he could be a match for the enemy's dozens of heavy artillery.

The worst news would be if the front asked them to continue fighting.

It would be great to have them retreat now.

So he nodded quickly:
"Yoshi! Hamasaki-kun, hurry up, order the warriors to move in immediately!"

Then he took the lead and ran down the mountain.

He knew very well that under the current battlefield situation, if he retreated, the opponent would definitely chase him like a hungry wolf.

If I run slower, I won't be able to escape.

After learning that the two big guys, Okamura Jining and Tanabe Seigo, were dead, he didn't want to follow in their footsteps!
……

However, it was easy for Hayashi Yotaro himself to escape, but it was not so easy for the soldiers under his command to retreat.

At this moment, all kinds of artillery of the special forces regiment were firing at them. The shock waves and shrapnel from the explosion swept across the entire battlefield like a tornado.

Large numbers of Japanese soldiers were killed or injured in the explosion.

Many wounded soldiers had no one to rescue them and could only lie on the ground and wail.

For a moment, their morale hit rock bottom.

Everyone is very confused.

They didn't expect that after traveling such a long distance, they would encounter such a heavy blow!
They were beaten so hard that they saw stars!
No one understands why the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi is so powerful!

Such powerful artillery power is simply horrifying!
……

Just as the artillery of the special forces regiment was beating the Japanese, Kong Jie also rode his horse to a location about one or two kilometers south of Heyuan City.

The guards of the New Second Regiment saw him coming in person and hurried forward to greet him:
"Captain, why are you here?"

Kong Jie'er heard the rumbling sound of the cannons, so how could he have the mind to greet him?
He waved his hand, signaling him to remain on guard.

Then he led his men around the city and ran towards the east.

He could hear that the violent explosions at this moment were all concentrated in the east direction of the city.

This means the battlefield is right over there!
……

Soon, he arrived at the east side of Heyuan County.

Then he saw a scene that stunned him.

Countless Japanese soldiers were running wildly towards the mountains to the east.

In the crowd and behind them, shells kept falling, madly harvesting heads.

Kong Jie looked to the west and saw dense artillery shells flying out from Heyuan County and the city walls.

Like a violent storm!
"Captain... Captain, it looks like we have defeated the Japanese!"

Guard Xu Erzhu was also shocked.

I never expected to see this picture.

Kong Jie nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly saw the east gate of Heyuan County suddenly opened, and nine tall tanks rushed out, chasing the Japanese and crushing them like tigers out of the cage.

Behind the tank, there were about two to three hundred soldiers in gray uniforms, holding guns and shouting as they rushed out.

……

At this moment, Kong Jie instantly realized that his trip was in vain!

It seems like this battle is over!
I could only give the order with mixed feelings:

"Let's go into the city!"

……

On the eastern city wall of Heyuan County, Ye Shuqiang opened his mouth wide when he saw the Japanese being blown up so easily.

I couldn't help but ask Zhan Haishan a nonsense question:
"Captain Zhan, are the Japanese defeated already?

It seems that the fighting time has not even reached an hour yet?"

Zhan Haishan smiled slightly, and didn't waste words with him, but said directly:
"Looking at how panicked the Japanese retreat was, they probably won't be able to fight back in the short term.

Captain Ye, I think we can order most of the troops in the city to rush out and beat the fallen dog.

Our artillery should be extending its firepower soon.

As long as the troops do not rush into the bombardment range, there will be no danger."

Ye Shuqiang nodded quickly and immediately sent someone to pass the message.

Han Yang felt that this battle was boring.

I couldn't help but spit out contempt:
"This bunch of Japs are too weak to fight! So boring!"

Zhan Haishan nodded:
"Yeah! It's really boring."

Ye Shuqiang came back after giving the order and was speechless again after hearing these words.

Fortunately, at this time, soldiers from the New Second Regiment had already discovered Kong Jie and others who were riding horses.

He shouted to him:

"Battalion Commander, the regiment commander is here!"

Ye Shuqiang took a look and immediately took people to greet them.

……

After a while, Kong Jie, covered in dust, followed Ye Shuqiang and stepped onto the city wall.

Zhan Haishan and Han Yang hurried over to greet him and exchanged a few simple greetings with him.

Afterwards, Kong Jie curiously asked about the battle.

Ye Shuqiang naturally did not dare to hide anything, and immediately told everything clearly.

Kong Jie was stunned to hear that the Japanese were blown to pieces by the special forces regiment's artillery as soon as they emerged from the mountains.

Feeling shaken.

After a long while, he looked at the shells that kept chasing the Japanese and said with emotion:
"No wonder you were able to defeat two Class A divisions of the Japanese in Huangping Town!
This artillery fire is truly terrifying."

……

Afterwards, he took over the command from Ye Shuqiang without hesitation and began to dispatch various troops to go out of the city to pursue the Japanese.

At this time, all kinds of artillery of the Special Forces Regiment began to stop firing because of insufficient range, or began to extend the fire because the Japanese were fleeing far away.

Especially the four self-propelled howitzers, which have a long range and can be easily moved on the battlefield, so they can directly fire all over the battlefield, and eventually even break out of the city, extending the artillery fire to more than 10 kilometers away!
Kong Jie was envious when he saw this.

He finally understood why Yang Yuanshan took out such precious mountain cannons to exchange for soldiers.

It turns out that they already have better-quality heavy artillery and no longer care about those ordinary items!
