I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Since the special forces regiment has already set off, Kong Jie certainly doesn't have time to waste.

He commanded the battalion and company commanders under his command to take inventory of the weapons and equipment of the entire regiment.

Those that were not needed temporarily were stored in a warehouse, and twenty or thirty soldiers were left to watch over them.

——These people were accidentally bitten by the Japanese bullets yesterday, or sprained their ankles while climbing the mountain, and are unable to continue fighting.

The equipment that could be used was immediately distributed to all the soldiers in the regiment.

Now, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment each had a rifle that was at least 80% new, and their waists were full of bullets.

On average, each squad has one light machine gun, each platoon has two grenade launchers, and each company has four Type 4 heavy machine guns.

In addition to the original three infantry companies, each battalion also drew additional troops to form a machine gun company, equipped with several infantry guns, mortars and several heavy machine guns!
Adding the more than 20 artillery pieces of the artillery battalion, the equipment and firepower of the entire New Second Regiment far exceed those of the numbered main regiments!

Kong Jie looked at his soldiers who were fully armed, well-equipped, high-spirited, and murderous, and couldn't help but show off to Political Commissar Dou Guangjie:

"Dad, I think our group is incredibly strong now!"

Dou Guangjie also nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, with regard to the equipment and ammunition, I'm afraid no one in our army can compare with it, except for a few regiments in northwest Shanxi!
Even the headquarters' guards have to admit defeat!"

"Haha, that's right."

……

After bragging to Dou Guangjie for a while, Kong Jie put away his pipe and ordered the soldiers:
“Everyone has it!
Leave the city immediately and march westward quickly!
Catch up with the Special Agents Group!"

"Yes!"

……

Time goes back to a few days ago.

The soldiers of the special operations company of the special forces regiment had a good rest for a night in a cave about 20 miles southwest of Shimen Airport.

The next morning, before 6 o'clock.

Deputy Company Commander Zuo Feng sent someone to retrieve the bicycles they had ridden from the base in the dim morning light.

——Although this thing is not precious in the secret service group, it can be sold for hundreds of dollars in the city.

Don't lose it!
……

Half past eight in the morning.

All the soldiers of the special operations company had a delicious roasted horse meat breakfast in the cave.

Then, under the order of the company commander Wei Dayong, they drove the captured war horses, carried the trophies, and pushed the bicycles, heading west, preparing to return to the special forces regiment.

Instead of taking the obviously easier road, they chose a mountain path about two or three kilometers away to avoid danger.

Of course, Wei Dayong did not forget to arrange two scouts to advance along the ridge beside the Zhengtai Road to investigate the movements on the Zhengtai Road.

Be prepared to jump out and take advantage of the Japanese if you encounter them alone.

For Wei Dayong, he doesn't want to give up any opportunity to make trouble for the Japanese!

Back then, when he was captured and imprisoned in the Qingshan POW camp and suffered all kinds of torture, he secretly swore that if he had a chance to escape, he would make the Japanese regret knowing his Grandpa Wei.

……

Dozens of people walked forward. Less than half an hour later, a scout came back in a hurry and reported to Wei Dayong:

"Captain, there is something going on on the road ahead."

Wei Dayong almost jumped three feet high. He was just feeling bored on the journey!
He asked excitedly:

"What's going on? Is there a lone Japanese soldier?"

“Uh… no… no.

There were several hundred young and strong men, walking westward.

They looked like they had escaped from somewhere."

The scout replied quickly.

When Wei Dayong heard this, he immediately remembered how he escaped from the Qingshan prisoner-of-war camp, and immediately muttered:

"Escaped?

Could it be that the Japanese have set up a prisoner-of-war camp somewhere again?
Son of a bitch, I hate this thing the most!"

Then he quickly ordered:

"Zuo Feng, you lead the troops and continue on. Haozi and I will go and take a look!"

After saying that, he rushed out without hesitation and followed the scout towards Zhengtai Road.

Third platoon leader Lu Yuhao hurriedly followed.

Seeing this guy slip away so quickly, Zuo Feng could only shake his head in silence.

……

After a while, Wei Dayong and Lu Yuhao followed the scouts to a hill south of Zhengtai Road, and used binoculars to observe the group of young men hurriedly heading west.

These people looked panic-stricken and ragged, and there was no sign of military training as they walked.

He had no gun on him, and the only weapons in his hands were hoes, shovels, shoulder poles and other items, so Wei Dayong immediately felt relieved.

I know they are probably not the Japanese or the traitors in disguise.

Then he immediately showed himself and shouted:

"Fellow villagers, what do you do?"

Those young and strong men were very nervous when they heard someone shouting, but when they saw Wei Dayong and others were wearing gray military uniforms, their eyes suddenly brightened and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Muttered in surprise:
"It's a comrade from the Eighth Route Army!"

Then he stopped walking, turned around and ran back to greet Wei Dayong.

……

After communicating with each other, Wei Dayong and others learned that in order to rebuild the Shimen Airport, the Japanese had arrested a large number of ordinary people in central Hebei to do hard labor.

If you are slow in action, you will be beaten or killed.

Countless young and strong people were beaten to death.

When the special operations company bombarded the airport yesterday, all these young and strong men took the opportunity to escape.

Most people fled to their hometowns, but the hundreds of people in front of them had nowhere to go because their villages had been massacred and their homes destroyed by the Japanese.

Just at this time, a man named Tang Dahui, who used to be a militia captain, stood up and said that he was going to northwestern Shanxi to join our army and fight the Japanese.

With everyone's response, they all headed west along Zhengtai Road.

……

Wei Dayong was somewhat unhappy when he heard that there were no Japanese POW camps nearby.

But when he heard that these people were preparing to join our army and fight the Japanese, he smiled again.

Excitedly said:

"If you want to join the army, just follow us.

Our Northwest Shanxi Special Forces Group is short of manpower!"

He knew that although this group of young and strong men in front of him were pale and skinny and untrained, they were able to boldly escape from Shimen Airport and could be considered to have experienced the battlefield.

He is definitely a good candidate for military service.

If I could get them back, I would definitely get Yang Yuanshan's praise.

Tang Dahui and others were also surprised when they heard that they were from the Northwest Shanxi Special Forces Regiment.

They had heard long ago that the Special Forces Regiment had made many military achievements and even killed the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka!

Knowing that following the secret service regiment, revenge, achievement and glory for the family would definitely not be a problem.

So he nodded repeatedly and said:
“Hit! Hit!

We are all willing to join the special forces to fight the Japanese devils!"

……

After recruiting more than 400 young and strong men including Tang Dahui, the special operations company became a larger team.

It is inevitable that things will be very messy while moving forward.

Zuo Feng couldn't help but remind Wei Dayong worriedly:

"Captain, our marching team is so large now, I'm afraid it will be easy for the Japanese to discover us!

If we really encounter the Japanese, if these young and strong men scatter, it will affect the morale of our company. ” Wei Dayong didn’t think so at all:
"You're just talking nonsense.

Who among the soldiers in our special operations company is not a tough guy?
If we really encounter the Japanese, who wouldn't rush forward screaming? "

"Captain, you can't be careless!"

Zuo Feng was heartbroken and felt that Wei Dayong was really getting too arrogant.

"Alright, alright!"

Wei Dayong saw that the other party was about to whisper in his ear again, so he quickly forced him to shut up.

Then ordered:

"Aren't you afraid of this or that?
Then I will order you to organize these people for me, first into four companies, and appoint several temporary company commanders.

If we encounter the Japanese, we don’t ask them to help us, as long as they don’t hold us back, that’s enough.”

Seeing that he finally did not act on his own and underestimate the enemy, Zuo Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly agreed:

"it is good!"

Then take action immediately.

……

With his hard work, four newly formed companies were simply formed in less than half an hour.

The company commanders and platoon leaders are all soldiers from the special operations company.

Then, as they walked, they started training the new recruits.

Now, the team of several hundred people marched in a much more orderly manner.

The training intensity of the special operations company is naturally very high. The young and strong men are forced to endure the intense training before they even officially join the army, so it is natural that they have some complaints.

But when it was time for lunch, these people ate the delicious roasted horse meat, roasted wolf meat, and Japanese canned beef, and they immediately no longer had any objections.

Everyone thinks: What a guy!

No wonder this special forces regiment is a heroic unit, the food is so good!
I have never eaten meat with such big mouthfuls in my life!

It seems that I have really come this time!
They didn't know that the only reason they could eat so well was because the dry rations brought by the special operations company soldiers were not enough for so many people, and conditions were limited, so they could only eat meat!
……

After a hearty meal, Tang Dahui and other young and strong men all felt a certain cohesion towards the special forces regiment.

The afternoon's march and training went very smoothly.

At night, Wei Dayong asked people to find a wide valley for the soldiers to stop and rest.

Seeing that the remaining wolf meat, horse meat and dry food were not enough to feed everyone, he simply asked Gao Daniu to kill a wounded warhorse and gave everyone a large piece of barbecue, which made everyone satisfied.

Fortunately, horse meat has coarse fibers and less fat, otherwise many young and strong people would suffer from gastrointestinal intolerance after eating the meat.

……

They walked like this until about ten o'clock the next morning. Wei Dayong saw that the young and strong men all had sweat on their foreheads. He was about to ask everyone to stop and drink some water when he suddenly heard faint sounds of gunfire ahead.

A hint of joy immediately appeared on Wei Dayong's face.

Just as they were about to arrange for someone to go ahead and take a look, they saw Hao Dabao, a soldier on a reconnaissance mission, rushing back sweating profusely, and reporting breathlessly:
"Company commander, there are more than a thousand guerrillas in Baitugou ahead, blocking a Japanese transport team."

"Transport team?

Are the Japanese here to send me rice and flour?
That's great. I've been eating only meat these days and it's a bit boring!"

Wei Dayong was suddenly very excited.

Then he asked eagerly:

“How many devils are there?

Do you have any heavy weapons?"

"The transport team is quite large, with at least a thousand people, so it's probably a large team.

The heavy weapons include two Type 92 infantry guns, a dozen heavy machine guns, and a number of grenade launchers.

Hao Dabao answered quickly.

"Wow, you're really strong!"

Wei Dayong frowned slightly.

Although he now has nearly 500 people on hand, not many of the more than young and strong men can shoot.

And there weren't enough guns for them.

——When they attacked and killed Okamura Ji-ning, most of the weapons were burned by the incendiary bombs, and they only seized dozens of good guns.

So now, the only people Wei Dayong can fight against are the dozens of people in his special operations company.

Although each of them had a Type 38 rifle, they also had several Type 99 light machine guns.

But to defeat a whole battalion of Japanese devils still seems a bit far-fetched.

Most importantly, their MG-42 general-purpose machine guns were running out of bullets.

The incendiary bombs equipped with the bazooka were also used up.

……

Deputy Company Commander Zuo Feng, who was standing beside him, saw that he was frowning and asked:
"Captain, you're not going to get involved, are you?"

Wei Dayong glared:
"We have seen the Japanese bullying our comrades in the brother unit. Can we still be cowards?"

"But Captain, our heavy machine guns don't have many bullets left!
Are you planning to have your comrades use Type 38 rifles and box guns to counter the Japanese infantry guns, light and heavy machine guns, and grenade launchers?"

Zuo Feng blocked it firmly.

"Shut up to me!

Do you believe I will beat you up? "

Wei Dayong glared and rolled up his sleeves, wanting to practice with Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng dodged backwards while complaining:

"Captain, if you hadn't insisted on bombing Shimen Airport, and we still had those incendiary bombs and heavy machine guns, I would have said nothing if we had taken action to deal with these little devils!"

He felt that the airport, which had not yet been built, would be of little use if it was bombed.

It would be far better to keep the bullets and support the comrades from the brother units who are blocking the Japanese transport team.

"Stop talking nonsense, kid.

I bombed the airport, and I'm going to take care of these little devils too!"

Wei Dayong said arrogantly.

Seeing his firm attitude, Zuo Feng knew that it was useless to confront him forcefully.

So he changed his mind and suggested:

"Captain, if you must fight, then wait until it's dark, and then we can sneak in quietly, kill a bunch of the Japs, and seize their equipment.

Then arm our new recruits first.

By then, with these 500 people and the cooperation of our comrades in the brother units, it should be much easier to deal with the Japanese."

Wei Dayong still listened to the suggestion of seizing equipment and arming his own people.

But he didn't have the patience to wait until night.

So he responded coldly:
"Zuo Feng, why do you talk so much nonsense?
I order you to take these people and slowly approach the battlefield!"

"what--

Captain, what do you want to do?

Zuo Feng asked quickly.

Wei Dayong ignored him and called the second platoon leader Gao Daniu:

"Daniu, take your platoon and follow me!

Let's go get some stuff!"

Then he took the lead and rushed out.

"Yes!"

Second platoon leader Gao Daniu agreed, immediately shouldered an MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, took the last few ammunition belts, called his men, and followed Wei Dayong to run quickly to the battlefield.
