I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Outside the south entrance of Qixia Town.

When Zhang Xiaohe went to call Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng with an unhappy face, Yang Yuanshan signaled Zhao Li to continue.

Zhao Li cleared his throat and continued to introduce excitedly:

"In addition to the 120mm mortar, another large-caliber artillery is the 105mm howitzer.

There are 12 doors in total.

This cannon is well-made and ingeniously designed, but it is quite heavy and I have never seen it before.

There are also a large number of matching shells.

But I heard from Lao Han that the First Artillery Battalion already has four of these guns?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded:
"Yes, the four guns in Gao Yuanzhi's hands are of this type.

This thing is called the M2A1 105mm howitzer.

It should be the standard weapon of the United States.

I don’t know where I’ve seen this thing introduced before.”

"What? American?
How come it's here?"

Everyone present was very surprised.

He couldn't help but stare at Yang Yuanshan with suspicion.

Yang Yuanshan had long been accustomed to being secretly scrutinized and even privately investigated. He didn't care at all and acted as if nothing had happened, without any flaws.

He said casually:
"Then I don't know. Maybe our group is lucky and it fell from the sky!"

After hearing this, everyone didn't know what to say.

However, Zhou Xianpei and Zhan Haishan looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

Then Zhan Haishan stepped forward to divert everyone's attention:
"Zhao Li, I see there are so many trucks here, they seem to be different from the Japanese trucks we captured?

How many of those are there in total?"

Zhao Li quickly replied:

“It’s different from the Japanese trucks.

I feel like these trucks are more powerful though.

In terms of quantity, there are a total of 164 vehicles.

Every truck was filled with stuff, mainly gasoline barrels, bullets, and artillery shells.”

Of course, these gasoline barrels, bullets and shells were deliberately placed in the car trunk when Yang Yuanshan released them early this morning in order to reduce the footprint.

In order to make his artillery battalion a mechanized artillery battalion, he took out all the Soviet-made GAZ-150 military trucks in his system warehouse.

Prepare to eliminate the mules and horses pulling the cannons as soon as possible.

After all, the special forces regiment is short of food now, and these mules and horses are most suitable as meat.

"What? 164?
so much? "

Everyone present was a little bit unbelieving.

Even a Class A division of the Japanese with tens of thousands of people cannot be equipped with so many trucks!
Even most of the Japanese divisions that entered Shanxi gave up using trucks and instead used mule and horse carts for the convenience of marching due to terrain factors.

As a result, the Japanese equipped with trucks became even less common.

I didn’t expect that the Special Forces Regiment could get so many trucks!
If this were pulled out, it would probably scare the Japanese.

It made them generally doubt their lives, and they all roared in their hearts: Isn’t it Tubalu, Tubalu?
They have so many trucks, so how can it be so rustic?

……

Yang Yuanshan quickly arranged:

“Old Zhou, so many trucks can’t be left idle.

It is very convenient to use it to tow artillery and transport artillery shells for artillery battalions.

You should immediately arrange some educated soldiers to learn to drive these trucks.

Instructors can be transferred from the tank company.

There is still a day and a night left, and I hope that these trucks will have enough drivers and can be driven before the troops set out tomorrow.

It doesn’t matter if the speed is slow, and it doesn’t matter if you can’t repair a breakdown. As long as you can drive it, that’s better than anything else.

Techniques can be practiced slowly on the road!"

Zhou Xianpei couldn't help but frown when he heard this:
“Captain, 164 trucks require at least 164 drivers.

Where do I get so many educated soldiers?
And it’s too difficult to learn how to drive a car in just one day and one night! ”

“Then I don’t care.

There are some soldiers in the guard battalion who have learned to drive trucks before, and there are also many in the regiment who can drive motorcycles. You can replace these people one by one.

This will not affect the combat effectiveness of other troops."

Yang Yuanshan assigned the task like a domineering president.

Zhou Xianpei could only smile bitterly and nod:

"ok, I get it."

……

Next, Zhao Li introduced other equipment and quantities, such as nearly 900 sidecar motorcycles, more than 300 bicycles, more than 18 tricycles, and a large number of M57 42mm recoilless guns, Type rifles, MG- general-purpose machine guns and other firearms and bullets.

After listening to the entire introduction, the officers of the special forces regiment all had uncontrollable excitement and joy on their faces.

If all these good things can be fully utilized, the strength of the special forces group will definitely be greatly improved!

Especially Zhan Haishan. He was originally worried about the replenishment of weapons and ammunition for the troops because Yang Yuanshan did not take any weapons and equipment after the battle of Huangping Town.

Now after hearing what Zhao Li reported, he suddenly realized that he was worrying about nothing.

As long as Yang Yuanshan is here, the special forces regiment will never be short of equipment!

Of course, he was more certain of certain things in his heart, and reminded himself again and again: Don’t think about anything else in the future, just close your eyes and pretend to be stupid!

……

At this time, Zhang Xiaohe hurried over with Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng.

"Captain, are you looking for us?"

The two men saluted Yang Yuanshan and asked in unison.

They were a little surprised to see so many people present.

Yang Yuanshan saw that the two men's hair was like a mess and their eyes were bloodshot. Of course he understood that they probably hadn't woken up yet.

I can't help but feel sorry for them.

He smiled and said:
"Well, I have something good for you."

Then, under their curious gazes, he pointed at the weapons not far away and said:
"Yuanzhi, we have picked up a lot of weapons again.

There are 12 M2A1 105mm howitzers here.

Your artillery battalion, immediately eliminate all 75mm mountain guns and replace them with this type of howitzer!"

"What? Twenty 12mm howitzers?
A complete makeover?"

Gao Yuanzhi widened his eyes and almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Such an ingeniously designed and powerful howitzer just appeared right in front of us so easily?
Are you kidding me?
And there are 12 doors!
You know, this is not an ordinary 50mm mortar that you can get easily!!!

Seeing his face full of question marks, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, feeling somewhat proud in his heart.

He did not respond to the other party's question, but continued to ask:
"Yuanzhi, the gunners in your battalion should have figured out the artillery by now, right?
Don't tell me you haven't figured it out yet!"

Hearing this, Gao Yuanzhi came back to his senses and nodded reluctantly:

"Most of the gunners did learn to fire.

But…but I don’t know how to quickly adjust the firing parameters, how to measure the distance, how to aim, etc.!”

As he spoke, he felt his face burning.

It's shameful for an artilleryman to not understand the use of the weapon in his hands!
Shame!

However, Yang Yuanshan did not blame him.

He knew very well that artillery had always been a technical branch of the military.

The long learning time is very reasonable. It is completely different from those line-filling infantry who are given a gun, taught casually, and can go to the battlefield.

So he nodded and said:
“Being able to fire is enough.

There is still one day left today, and I allow you to conduct live-fire shooting training so that you can develop the most basic combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

There is no limit on the number of shells you can consume! "

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand and showed his inhumanity.

Of course, he knew that Gao Yuanzhi would not really do as he said and waste unlimited amounts of shells.

……

Now that things have come to this, what else can Gao Yuanzhi say?
I can only take the order loudly immediately:

"Yes! Please rest assured, Commander. Our First Artillery Battalion will ensure that we can master these howitzers as soon as possible!"

"it is good!

Yuanzhi, to deal with the 26th Division, your st Artillery Battalion is the absolute main force!
You must not let down the chain!"

Yang Yuanshan patted Gao Yuanzhi on the shoulder and continued knocking.

"understand!"

Gao Yuanzhi thought about his battalion, which had been changed from a mountain artillery battalion to a 105mm howitzer battalion, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Although it was not easy to get the gunners to adapt to the new artillery and form combat effectiveness in such a short time, he still felt excited when he thought of the majestic scene of 20 105mm howitzers firing at the same time.

Firepower is justice, and the muzzle of the gun is truth!

……

After arranging Gao Yuanzhi, Yang Yuanshan turned to look at Wang Gensheng and arranged:

"Gensheng, there are 22 heavy mortars here, plus the remaining 10 in your battalion, that's exactly 32.

Your battalion should also change its equipment and replace those 75mm mountain cannons.

This will unify the caliber and facilitate logistics supply."

In fact, the troops of the special forces regiment replenished their ammunition on the battlefield mainly by relying on the silent and targeted "airdrops" from their system warehouses.

It doesn’t really matter whether the caliber is right or not.

But on the surface, he still has to lead the troops towards regularization.

After all, in the future, after the Japanese are driven away, it is still unclear whether his system can continue to provide him with equipment.

It would be troublesome if your subordinates developed bad habits.

……

Wang Gensheng originally fantasized that Yang Yuanshan would also give him a few 105mm howitzers.

I didn't expect that this was not the case, and I was a little surprised.

For a moment, I didn't react.

I even felt a little unhappy.

After all, he heard from Gao Yuanzhi that the range of the 105mm howitzer was more than 10 kilometers!
However, Zhan Haishan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but sigh when he heard what Yang Yuanshan said:

"Good guy!

"Captain, we have an artillery battalion with 32 120mm heavy guns. If the brigade commander or the headquarters knew about this, they would probably rob you of all your men and guns!"

Yang Yuanshan smiled and didn't care:

"It's a long way to go, and the road conditions are not good. It won't be easy for the leaders to rob me!"

Han Yang said jokingly:
"What if the leader really sends two regiments to protect our Second Artillery Battalion and take them back to the headquarters?"

"I, Yang Yuanshan, am not as stingy as our leader.
At worst, we can just give them the guns!

If you want my artillery, forget it."

Yang Yuanshan rolled his eyes, looking completely inhumane.

And everyone present, hearing him call Cricket Li Yunlong, also burst into laughter.

Wang Gensheng was awakened by the laughter and came back to his senses.

My heart was immediately filled with shock.

An artillery battalion with 32 heavy mortars, that’s so impressive!
What would the scene be like if so many guns fired at the same time?
It's exciting to think about!

But he immediately thought of a question and answered anxiously:

"Captain, aren't 32 guns too many?

I'm afraid our battalion's current manpower is not enough to operate so many cannons!"

"As for the manpower issue, Lao Zhou will provide you with reinforcements right away.

You just need to organize the troops and form combat effectiveness."

Yang Yuanshan gave him a reassurance.

"Yes!"

Wang Gensheng nodded quickly.

Someone added that then there would be no problem for him.

Unlike Gao Yuanzhi's artillerymen who had to adapt to the new howitzers, his gunners were very familiar with the 120mm heavy mortars.

It is naturally much easier to quickly form combat effectiveness.

……

After finishing the arrangements for the two artillery battalions, Yang Yuanshan said to the other battalion commanders:

"Your battalions have suffered heavy losses in weapons and equipment in this battle.

Today, you have to train the troops while finding Zhao Li to replenish their equipment and prepare for battle.

Tomorrow morning, we will set out for Xinkou to prevent the Japanese 26th Division from escaping.

Understand? "

"understand!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Although it is not easy to accomplish all these tasks within one day, none of them are afraid of difficulties!
……

After arranging the most urgent matters in the regiment, Yang Yuanshan also sent people to notify Wei Junfeng and Yuan Peng, the commanders of the 9th and 10th Supplementary Regiments.

Let them each get some horse meat from Zhao Li to eat on the way, and then lead their respective troops back to Heyuan County.

The special forces regiment no longer needs them.

——Yang Yuanshan estimated that there would probably not be many casualties or spoils captured when they went to deal with the Japanese 26th Division, so they would not need too many people to help carry the wounded or transport the spoils.

As for whether Li Yunlong should disband the two regiments and let them go home after returning to Heyuan County or what to do with them, he didn't care.

Anyway, he really doesn't have enough food to support three meals a day for the 6000 young and strong people in the two regiments.

Wei Junfeng and Yuan Peng were of course not happy to return to Heyuan County like this, so they came together and asked him:

"Captain Yang, I heard that your regiment is still fighting, why don't you take us with you?

Although the soldiers of our two regiments are all militiamen and guerrillas, we have such good weapons and ammunition now, so it is okay for us to help you, right?"

Of course Yang Yuanshan couldn't say that there was no food, so he could only wave his hand and say perfunctorily:

“Captain Wei, Commander Yuan, we are in the west. We have comrades from the 358th Brigade, Wutai, Yanbei, Suinan and other regions. We have sufficient manpower.

You should go back to Heyuan County and see if the leader has any further orders. "

Seeing his firm attitude, Wei Junfeng and Yuan Peng could only nod dejectedly:
"Ok."

Then turned and left.

……

After arranging this matter, Yang Yuanshan returned to his regiment headquarters.

After signing some documents that required his signature, he took his men on a BMW R75 sidecar to visit the wounded at the Xingshupo field hospital.
