I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

In Heyuan County.

The troops of the New Second Regiment and the Supplementary Regiment were dispatched by Kong Jie to pursue the Japanese.

Of course, he also knew that although the supplementary regiment had a large number of people, its combat effectiveness was poor, so they were basically arranged to follow behind the soldiers of his new second regiment and play supporting roles.

On the special forces side, Zhan Haishan discussed with Han Yang and issued two orders:

“Order the 1st and 2nd artillery battalions to cease firing once their artillery fire reaches the end of its range.

Clean the gun barrel immediately, take a break and eat, and at 12 noon, continue to head west! "

"Order the infantry battalions to take those new recruits to the battlefield and wipe out the remaining enemies who are resisting stubbornly!"

When the commanders of the five infantry battalions heard this order, they immediately understood that Zhan Haishan wanted to force the new recruits to mature.

——That’s right, the fastest way to make new recruits grow is to take them directly to the battlefield and let them feel the atmosphere!
Suddenly, with a sly smile on their faces, they personally led the new recruits who didn't even know how to shoot and hadn't received new uniforms, rushed out of Heyuan County and rushed to the battlefield.

These recruits never expected that they would have the opportunity to go to the battlefield the day after joining the army.

At first I was very excited, thinking that I could make a contribution and bring honor to my family!

But when they rushed to the edge of the battlefield, saw the horrific scenes on the battlefield, and smelled the thick smoke and blood, some of them immediately turned pale.

When they stepped on the bloody mud and the many broken limbs, they could no longer hold back and started vomiting.

For the new recruits, this scene was too shocking!

Battalion commanders such as Xu Wei and the veterans in the team laughed happily when they saw them like this, and even made sarcastic remarks from time to time:
"Look at how cowardly you are, and you still say you want to kill the Japanese!

Why are you all more timid than rabbits now? "

"Dashuan, it's just a head, what are you afraid of?

It's perfect for using as a urinal!"

"Mengzi, don't you always want to fire a gun?

Look, that little Japanese soldier over there is still holding a gun, go pick it up, and it's yours!"

……

At about 11 a.m., all the artillery of the Special Forces Regiment stopped firing.

The sound of gunfire from the various troops chasing the Japanese could not be heard because the distance was too far.

Yang Yuanshan led the guard battalion, escorting horse meat and supplies, and slowly arrived outside Heyuan County.

When he saw the potholes in the east of the city, he knew that it was a battlefield that had been severely ravaged by artillery shells, and he couldn't help but grin.

Zhan Haishan and Han Yang who came to greet him said:
"Haishan, Hanyang, it seems that our artillery has played a big role again?
You killed a lot of devils, didn't you?"

In fact, he had just briefly reviewed the system rewards for this battle in his mind.

"Kill 1365 Japanese infantrymen, and you will be rewarded with 1365 Type 6.5 rifles and 13.6 rounds of Arisaka mm bullets."

“击杀小鬼子炮兵*34，奖励75毫米榴弹2000发，120毫米榴弹2000发，105毫米榴弹2000发。”

"Kill *42 little Japanese medical soldiers, and reward 12 boxes of penicillin, 9 boxes of morphine, 11 boxes of medical equipment, 5 boxes of medical bandages, and 5 boxes of medical alcohol."

"Kill the Japanese corporal*33, and you will be rewarded with a Type 33 grenade launcher*3300 and grenades."

"Kill the little Jaap Sergeant*26, and the reward will be Type 26 light machine gun*7.7, and 2.6 rounds of Arisaka mm bullets."

“击杀小鬼子少尉*12，奖励MG-42通用机枪*12，7.92*57毛瑟步枪弹1.2万发。”

"Kill *7 Little Japanese Lieutenants, and you will be rewarded with *7 Type 700 Infantry Cannons and rounds of artillery shells."

"Kill *6 little Japanese captains and you will be rewarded with *81 Type 6 600mm direct-fire infantry cannons and rounds of artillery shells."

“击杀小鬼子少佐*4，奖励41式75毫米山炮*4，榴弹400发。”

“击杀小鬼子中佐*2，奖励M18型57毫米无后坐力炮*20，穿甲弹2000发，榴弹2000发。”

He was very satisfied after killing 1,400 to 1,500 Japanese devils.

Although all the rewards were so ordinary, the four 4mm mountain cannons could bring the number of mountain cannons in his system warehouse to 75.

It’s enough to take out and throw to Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others.

It was obviously a pleasant surprise, and it solved a small problem for him.

……

Hearing his question, Zhan Haishan and Han Yang grinned and quickly answered:

"of course!

The Japanese were so stunned by the explosion that they didn't dare to approach the city and retreated quickly.

The exact number of enemies killed has not yet been counted."

"My goodness, these bastards, are they so cowardly?
Then why bother playing the trick of center blooming? "

Yang Yuanshan was very contemptuous.

He finally understood why the battle ended so quickly.

It seemed that the Japanese had come to our doorstep, and after being bombarded with bullets, they fled away in disgrace.

Zhan Haishan quickly expressed his guess:
"Captain, I think this group of devils may have learned the result of the battle in Huangping Town.

The reason he showed up this time was just to test the defense situation of Heyuan County and see if he could gain some advantage.

As soon as they realized we were not easy to deal with, they immediately retreated."

"So, this little Japanese commander is actually a smart guy?"

A look of surprise appeared on Yang Yuanshan's face.

After traveling through time for more than two years, he has also dealt with many of the Japanese middle and high-level officers.

Most of these guys are stubborn and like to rush forward without thinking.

People who can use their brains a bit are rare.

"I think so."

Zhan Haishan nodded heavily.

This time, Yang Yuanshan felt somewhat regretful that his heavy artillery failed to capture this guy.

He estimated that the Japanese soldier who could command thousands of people was most likely a brigade commander who was a major general.

That’s worth four American howitzers!
pity! pity!
……

Although he felt very sorry, Yang Yuanshan didn't worry too much about it as things had come to this point.

After all, the special forces regiment killed many Japanese major generals.

It wouldn't be a big deal if this was missing.

……

Next, he carefully inquired about the details of the battle.

Zhan Haishan did not hide anything and told him the details in detail.

Yang Yuanshan listened and nodded, feeling that there was nothing wrong with Zhan Haishan's command.

I knew in my heart: It seems that Zhan Haishan has fully understood how to make full use of the advantages of the special forces group.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked quickly:

"Haishan, have you sent a message to your superiors to report the results of this battle?"

The First and Second Battalions of the New Second Regiment stationed in Heyuan County, as well as the supplementary regiment, certainly did not have radios, so he asked this question.

Zhan Haishan shook his head upon hearing this:

"not yet.

The New Second Regiment hadn’t returned yet, and we didn’t know what they had gained, so I didn’t rush to have the telegraph operator send a message.”

Yang Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, then gave the order decisively:

“It doesn’t matter whether you gain something or not, what’s more important is to let the leader make the decision.

Han Yang, please ask the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the leader to inform him of the situation.

Let’s see how the leader will finally deal with this group of fleeing Japanese devils.

If these guys were scattered around in northwest Shanxi and caused some damage, the villagers would be in trouble. "

"Yes!"

Han Yang agreed and took action immediately.

……

Then Yang Yuanshan asked again:
"Haishan, have the infantry battalions recruited any new soldiers?" "Yes.

The Second Battalion has more than 300 people, and the other battalions have to people each. Together, there are about people."

"nice!"

Yang Yuanshan previously assigned this task to each battalion purely out of the thought of giving it a try, and in fact he did not hold out much hope.

Unexpectedly, it’s actually a little surprising now.

Two or three hundred people are not a lot, but if they were placed in other regiments of our army, that would be almost the strength of a battalion.

So he quickly added:
"Haishan, I have also brought 580 soldiers from the independent regiment. You can give each battalion a share and try to balance the strength of each battalion."

"What? 580 people?
Captain, how did you get it?
Right now, the troops in the various regiments in Northwest Shanxi are very tight, right? "

Zhan Haishan widened his eyes in surprise.

"Hey, it's nothing. I traded them 4 mountain guns and 6 Type infantry guns.

Of course, this is also because Captain Xing saw that we had suffered heavy losses and wanted to support us."

Yang Yuanshan chuckled, with a somewhat smug look on his face.

Zhan Haishan was speechless when he heard what he said.

I thought to myself: Captain, oh captain, you really don’t take your equipment seriously!
10 cannons can be exchanged for 580 people. If the commanders of other bases knew about this, they would definitely use more people to overwhelm you and scold you for being a prodigal son!

Fortunately, he can be considered a person with high emotional intelligence, so of course he can't say what is in his heart.

So he forced himself to change the subject, pointed at the war horses behind Yang Yuanshan and asked:

"Captain, why did you bring so many war horses?

I see there are supplies on the horse's back?"

"The leaders divided up the spoils of the battle at Huangping Town. These horses and the things on their backs were all given to our regiment."

Yang Yuanshan explained.

"Good fellow, so they're just dividing the spoils right away?

Aren’t there thousands of horses here? "

Zhan Haishan was somewhat speechless about Li Yunlong's action of dividing the spoils privately without reporting to his superiors.

"There are 1100 horses in total, but at least half of them are injured."

Yang Yuanshan answered casually.

"Captain, you are so lucky to be able to get so many horses!

These two divisions of the Japanese are not cavalry divisions, so they can't possibly bring too many horses, right?"

Zhan Haishan was amazed.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: When did Li Yunlong become so generous?

Yang Yuanshan felt somewhat embarrassed by the flattery.

He quickly explained:

"Haha, what's the face?
I didn’t ask for weapons and equipment, so the leader gave me all the horses.”

After hearing this, Zhan Haishan was speechless again.

These days, who among our military units is not looking forward to destroying the Japanese so that they can get some better weapons and equipment and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops?
How could someone be like Yang Yuanshan, who spent a large amount of weapons and ammunition, killed a large number of enemies, but ended up not taking any weapons or equipment at all?
Isn't this stupid?

But he also knew that Yang Yuanshan had never been short of weapons and ammunition, so he could only nod helplessly:
"Okay. So that's how it is."

……

Seeing that he was fine, Yang Yuanshan immediately made another arrangement:

“Haishan, our group’s harvest this time, in addition to these horses, also includes 400,000 to 500,000 kilograms of horse meat.

Although the meats are simply marinated, I am still worried that they will go bad.

You should bring some people to unload all the horse meat right now, and then ask the fellow villagers in Heyuan City to help us cut the horse meat into small strips and roast it into jerky.

This will not only preserve it for a longer time, but also reduce its weight, making it easier for us to travel later."

"What? Four or five hundred thousand kilograms of horse meat?
This... this will take quite a while to dry! "

Zhan Haishan smiled bitterly.

"Then I don't care! If there are any difficulties, you are responsible for solving them!"

Yang Yuanshan acted like a domineering boss.

What is easy to do these days?
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it.

Zhan Haishan smiled bitterly and asked:

"Captain, when will our group continue to head west?"

"At the latest tomorrow morning, our entire group must leave Heyuan County.

You only have this afternoon and evening.

If there was no time to process them, we would give them to the soldiers to eat on the way."

Yang Yuanshan gave the order sternly.

Seeing that he was serious, Zhan Haishan could only nod in agreement.

I'll go and make arrangements right away.

But Yang Yuanshan stopped him again:

"By the way, Haishan, where is Gao Yuanzhi?"

Zhan Haishan quickly replied:
"I just asked them to rest and eat quickly, and then set off at 12 o'clock to continue their journey westward."

"Okay! Let him come see me!"

"Yes!"

Zhan Haishan left in a hurry.

……

After a while, Yang Yuanshan saw Gao Yuanzhi walking quickly on the street in the east city of Heyuan County.

"Captain! Are you looking for me?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded and asked:
“Is there anyone in your camp who can drive now?

Motorcycles and trucks are fine.”

Of course, he asked Gao Yuanzhi to come with the intention of bringing out four American 105mm howitzers so that the soldiers of the First Artillery Battalion could become familiar with them on the way.

As for the need to be able to drive, of course it is to drive the four M4 high-speed tractors.

After all, without this thing, mules and horses alone would not be able to pull the 2.26-ton artillery!

……

Gao Yuanzhi didn't know that good things were about to happen to him.

He answered with a confused look on his face:
"Driving? Does the person who can drive those four self-propelled howitzers in Miao Sanmu count?

I took a few people with me on the trip and taught them how to play with it.”

He was somewhat nervous in his heart, thinking that Yang Yuanshan was going to take people from him to the tank company.

“Just someone will do.

You must bring a group of soldiers with you right now, catch up with the mule and horse carts in your camp, and follow me!"

There is still half a day before dark, and Yang Yuanshan does not want to waste time waiting until dark to get out his equipment.

于是刚刚心念一动，就把那4辆M4高速牵引车和4门美制M2A1式105毫米榴弹炮，扔在了河源县西南方向的一处山脚了。

When Gao Yuanzhi heard what he said, he was immediately surprised.

Immediately loudly receive the order:

"Yes!"

Having followed Yang Yuanshan for such a long time, he naturally understood that the other party had equipment and was going to give them an artillery battalion!

……

After a while, Yang Yuanshan, Gao Yuanzhi and more than a hundred soldiers he brought with him, drove mule and horse carts, hurried out of the south gate of Heyuan County, and headed towards the mountains and forests in the southwest.
