I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Outside Qixia Town, at the position of the 1st Artillery Battalion.

Gao Yuanzhi was reminded by the sentry that Zhou Xianpei had arrived, so he immediately put down his work, ran over quickly, and saluted:

"Report to the Political Commissar: The First Artillery Battalion is conducting artillery training!
Please advise!
The commander of the First Artillery Battalion, Gao Yuanzhi!"

Zhou Xianpei returned the greeting and then pointed at Kong Jie and introduced him:

"Captain Gao, Commander Kong heard that your battalion has new equipment, so he wanted to come and take a look."

Gao Yuanzhi quickly saluted Kong Jie beside him:

"Captain Kong."

He was quite familiar with Kong Jie and was not surprised.

Kong Jie returned the salute and asked curiously:
"Captain Gao, your howitzers look exactly the same as the four that were pulled into Heyuan County by that artillery tractor.

"Let's go with the Japanese mountain artillery. How much has the power of this artillery increased to make your Captain Yang decide to completely replace it?"

Gao Yuanzhi did not hide it and replied with a smile:
"Captain Kong, the power of these 105mm howitzers is only two to three times greater than the Japanese's 75mm mountain cannon.

In addition, its range is also three or four kilometers farther than that of mountain artillery."

"Good guy!

It's two or three times more powerful and has such a much longer range, it's really scary!
With the current strength of your battalion, I'm afraid you can easily crush an entire artillery regiment of the Japanese!
The Japanese artillery regiment still has a lot of mountain artillery for show!"

Kong Jie was so amazed that his saliva was so gushing that he wanted to fill his pipe.

I'm really envious!

Gao Yuanzhi was somewhat arrogant in his heart, but he said modestly:

“Not to the extent that it is not ...

Our gunners are not familiar with this type of gun, so it won’t be able to exert much power on the battlefield.”

……

After briefly learning the basic parameters of these cannons from Gao Yuanzhi, Kong Jie bluntly proposed that he wanted to operate these cannons himself.

Gao Yuanzhi did not refuse. He took him to a cannon and let him try it out.

After experiencing the gun's exquisite design, smooth barrel, and heavy shells, Kong Jie was amazed again.

But he immediately thought of a question and asked curiously:

"Captain Gao, these guns are quite heavy, and Political Commissar Zhou said that your entire battalion will be equipped with these guns, so how do you solve the transportation problem?

Moreover, each shell of this cannon weighs about 30 kilograms. How many mules and horses are needed to carry enough shells?
You can't have to have thirty or fifty mules and horses for one cannon, right?"

Gao Yuanzhi chuckled and shook his head:
"Our battalion is no longer going to use mules and horses to tow artillery and transport artillery shells."

“Then what do you use?
Did you get more artillery tractors?"

Kong Jie asked suspiciously.

"Good stuff like an artillery tractor is not that easy to get."

Gao Yuanzhi shook his head.

Then he pointed to the distance and said:

"But Captain Kong, you see, those trucks are prepared to help us tow the artillery and carry the artillery shells."

Kong Jie took a look and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

There, I saw at least dozens of purple-green big-nosed trucks coming towards me, and each one was shiny and bright!

He couldn't help but scream:

"Wow! How come you have so many trucks?
How many Japanese truck convoys do we have to fight to get this?"

Gao Yuanzhi chuckled and replied:
"Captain Kong, our trucks are not the junk the Japanese have, and they are certainly not obtained from the Japanese transport team.

As for how he got it, I don’t know.

Anyway, I heard from the comrades in the regiment that it suddenly appeared before our eyes at daybreak.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Jie felt like he was about to spit out blood.

God suddenly appeared!
It’s okay to make up a story, I don’t mind it.

But could you guys use some snacks?
You're being too perfunctory, or you'll be struck by lightning!
……

After leaving the First Artillery Battalion, Kong Jie followed Zhou Xianpei to take a look at the Second Artillery Battalion.

Naturally, he was shocked by the 32 120mm heavy mortars.

Although the barrel of this mortar is much shorter than the previous 105mm howitzer, its caliber looks powerful enough!

At this moment, he finally understood why Yang Yuanshan was so confident that he could destroy the Japanese 26th Division.

Not to mention anything else, just these two artillery battalions, equipped with sufficient artillery shells, are enough to make the Japanese despair!

……

After visiting the two artillery battalions, Kong Jie returned to his regiment while smoking his pipe.

Seeing his complicated expression, Dou Guangjie was naturally quite curious.

He quickly asked:
"Lao Kong, what did you see?

Why is it like this? "

Kong Jie immediately introduced to him what he had seen.

Dou Guangjie was shocked to hear that the artillery battalion of the special forces regiment had such strength.

He instantly understood why Kong Jie looked like this.

I couldn't help laughing:

"Old Kong, the special forces regiment is not an ordinary unit. It is the best regiment in the world hand-picked by the leader!
Don't compare yourself with others, it will only cause you trouble."

His words made Kong Jie instantly become autistic.

I thought to myself: Wow!

I am an old regiment commander who has been in the army for more than ten years. I am not qualified to compete with a young man like Yang Yuanshan, right?
This is so heartbreaking!

Dad, whose side are you on?

……

At around 1:00 p.m., Yang Yuanshan returned to Qixia Town from the field hospital.

Just after entering the regiment, before he had time to drink a sip of water, Zhan Haishan came to report to him:

"Captain, Captain Zou of the Yanbei First Regiment called this morning and reported the situation there."

"Oh, what are the Japs doing?"

Yang Yuanshan was also a little nervous.

If the 26th Division runs away, then his artillery battalion will have no opponent to test its artillery!

We can't attack Jinyang City with a tired army, right?

He's not that crazy yet!
"Captain Zou said that the Japanese 26th Division should have less than combat-ready soldiers.

Fortifications are currently being built in Xin County and Jinchang County, and it seems that they are preparing to hold on to Xinkou.

The comrades from the Yanbei Detachment and the Suinan Base have now retreated to the mountains and forests around the two county towns to rest and monitor the Japanese. If they leave the city, they will attack them. "

As Zhan Haishan answered, he handed him Zou Qingzhi's telegram.

Yang Yuanshan took it and looked at it, then nodded with satisfaction:
"Great! If the Japs don't run away, they're dead!
No matter how strong the fortifications are, they can't withstand our heavy artillery!"

He then inquired about the current situation of each battalion and learned that everyone was busy reorganizing and training the troops, so naturally he had nothing to say.

He immediately sent Zhan Haishan back to take care of his own business.

Zhan Haishan was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and quickly reported:
"Oh, Commander, Commander Kong of the New Second Regiment has arrived with his men. Lao Zhou arranged for them to rest in the west of the town.

Do you want to meet Captain Kong?"

“The new second regiment has arrived?

Not slow at all!
OK, I'll wash my face and go meet him."

……

Not long after, Yang Yuanshan got himself ready and came to see Kong Jie.

After exchanging pleasantries, Kong Jie asked expectantly:

"Captain Yang, I heard that your artillery battalion has eliminated a lot of mountain artillery. They are useless. Why don't you support them to our new Second Regiment?"

When Yang Yuanshan heard this, his eyes widened.

I was roaring in my heart: Good fellow! Kong Jie, Kong Jie!
Isn't your face a little too big?

You ask me for so much nonsense just by opening my mouth?

If I were Doraemon, would all my wishes come true?

Kong Jie felt somewhat embarrassed when he saw him like this.

He quickly took a puff of his pipe to cover up his embarrassment, then mustered up the courage to add:

"Those cannons of yours won't give birth even if they're stored in the warehouse!" Yang Yuanshan came back to his senses, and forcibly suppressed the urge to kick him. He restrained his expression and replied with a smile:

"No problem. Captain Kong wants my cannon. I welcome it."

"Really?"

Kong Jie was so ecstatic that he almost bit his tongue.

But then, she stared at him suspiciously.

I feel like this is not his style at all!
Yang Yuanshan chuckled and put forward his own conditions:
"If the comrades in the brother unit want the guns in my hand, I am willing to give them to them.

But you know the conditions, Captain Kong: 100 soldiers in exchange for a mountain cannon with 300 rounds of ammunition.

The price is fair, and you don’t have to be bullied!
How about it, how many gates does Captain Kong want?"

Kong Jie knew that Yang Yuanshan would not give him the artillery for free.

After hearing him reveal the answer to the riddle, she immediately shook her head like a drum:
“Forget it, forget it. I don’t have that many artillerymen in my regiment, so I don’t need more mountain artillery for the time being.

You should keep this cannon for having children!"

He still owes Yang Yuanshan more than 1500 people, so how could he dare to continue selling on credit?

Do you really think Yang Yuanshan is someone who can be defaulted on?

Moreover, he did not have that many artillerymen who could use mountain cannons. Even if he really got that many cannons, they would have to be left idle.

Besides, transportation is also a big problem.

His new Second Regiment had neither too many mules and horses nor as many trucks as the Special Forces Regiment. Having too many mountain artillery made them lose their mobility and flexibility.

That would not only be of no benefit to their overall combat effectiveness, but would be harmful instead.

……

After chatting about the artillery, Kong Jie asked seriously about the military situation:
"Captain Yang, what's the situation in Xinkou now?"

Yang Yuanshan immediately told him the situation.

After hearing this, Kong Jie was also a little excited.

He smoked his pipe and said:
"The Japanese didn't run away. Looks like we can have this bite of meat!"

Yang Yuanshan nodded:
"Yes. They are dead."

"Captain Yang, I heard that you are planning to set off early tomorrow morning?

When we get to Xinkou, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

Kong Jie asked curiously.

"How else can we fight?
Pull over some of my artillery battalions, blow up all the Japanese defenses and walls, and then charge into the city!"

Yang Yuanshan answered casually.

If you are poor, you can use tactics to deploy; if you are rich, you can use artillery fire to sweep the ground!

There are so many shells, so I can do whatever I want!
Hearing this, Kong Jie suddenly wanted to jump up and punch him for saying such inhumane words.

However, he also knew that the other party did have the confidence, so he could only sigh:

"Good guy!

You really don't treat the shells as shells!"

Then he became extremely curious:

"I'm confused. Your regiment fights like this. Every time you send battle reports to the brigade and headquarters, don't the leaders criticize you?"

Yang Yuanshan chuckled:
“Our regiment didn’t ask our superiors for a single round of artillery shells, so why did the leaders criticize me?

Besides, if the leaders need shells, they can always send people to my place to deliver them. I am not refusing to provide them, right? "

Kong Jie didn't know that he was bragging in his heart: The sky is high and the emperor is far away, it's just so great!

I could only bury the word "envy" in my heart and forcibly change the subject:
"Captain Yang, since the Japanese are entrenched in Jinchang and Xinxian counties, how about we each take one from each of our two regiments?

Let the comrades from the Yanbei Detachment and the Suinan Base Area block the Japanese's escape route."

"no problem.

Anyway, as long as we can wipe out the Japanese, it doesn’t matter who does it.”

The special forces regiment has been fighting for a long time and has suffered heavy casualties. Yang Yuanshan does not want his men to continue risking their lives.

Kong Jie wanted to steal the job, which was exactly what he wanted.

Anyway, he has no shortage of equipment now.

Kong Jie was very excited to see that he agreed. He rolled his eyes and suggested:

"That's great!
Your regiment is exhausted after a long battle, so we will let you attack Jinchang County, and let our New Second Regiment take over Xin County."

He thought that behind Xin County was Xinkou Pass, and the Japanese troops in Xin County must be more than those in Jinchang County.

His New 26nd Regiment did not play a big role in this battle. If he could now capture most of the th Division, then when he came back to summarize the battle, he, Kong Jie, would be able to stand tall in front of Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.

Of course Yang Yuanshan would not refuse Kong Jie's proposal.

But he was laughing in his heart:
If the infantry wants to take action, doesn't it have to look at the instructions of its own artillery?
Our artillery battalion had just been re-equipped and needed a suitable opponent to conduct artillery training.

It is still unclear how many people in the 26th Division in Xinkou can survive the high-intensity live-fire training of several artillery battalions!
If you, Kong Jie, want to grab the job, you have to see if my artillery has had enough work!

……

After reaching a consensus with Kong Jie on the subsequent operations, Yang Yuanshan said goodbye and left, heading towards his regiment headquarters.

On the way, he saw a silver dragon swimming towards him quickly in the distance.

The car bells kept ringing.

This is undoubtedly a cycling team.

Zhang Xiaohe, the guard following behind him, recognized the man and said in surprise:

"Captain, look! Captain Wei and his men are back."

Yang Yuanshan nodded, stopped immediately and waited for the other party to come over.

But he was thinking in his heart: Didn’t Wei Dayong say that he would come back with a large amount of spoils?
Why is it so fast?
……

Just as Yang Yuanshan was pondering, more than 20 bicycles stopped in front of him.

The leader, Wei Dayong, left the car, ran to Yang Yuanshan in two steps, and saluted:

"Report to the regiment commander, the special operations company has completed its mission and requests to return to the base!

Special Operations Company Commander Wei Dayong!"

Yang Yuanshan returned the greeting and asked curiously:

"Monk, how come you came back so quickly?

Where are the spoils you brought with you?"

“I was afraid that I would miss the battle later, so I asked Zuo Feng to lead the others to walk slowly behind.

I took these people and rode my bicycle back."

Wei Dayong smiled innocently, revealing his slightly yellow teeth, and there seemed to be some meat shreds stuffed in the gaps between his teeth.

I don’t know how long it has been since this guy took care of his personal hygiene.

Yang Yuanshan nodded and instructed Zhang Xiaohe:

"Xiao He, go find Lao Zhou and Zhao Li and ask them to arrange some people to help the comrades in the special operations company get the spoils back.

Aren’t our truck drivers all undergoing driving training?
Just in time for this!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiaohe agreed and immediately went to pass on the message.

Yang Yuanshan turned around and asked Wei Dayong:
"Monk, didn't you kill the old devil Okamura?

Did you bring back the old devil's general's sword? "

To him, this old Japanese general's sword was obviously worth collecting.

It's more valuable than the one owned by Kazuo Shinozuka!
However, Wei Dayong didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he answered honestly:
"I met the leader in Huangping Town, and he asked me to hand over all the spoils from killing that old devil."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanshan felt very depressed.

I was roaring wildly in my heart: Monk, you are confused!

How can I give the things to Li Yunlong?
Those shoulder straps, collar badges and so on can be handed in, but how can the general's saber be handed in?

Besides, it’s useless even if you pay, this stingy guy will definitely keep it for himself!!!

His face was twisted wildly, and Yang Yuanshan knew that no matter how regretful he was, it was useless.

I could only pat Wei Dayong on the shoulder and say:
“Okay, I get it.

Take the soldiers back to rest first, then take a shower and eat something, then come to the regiment headquarters to report the details of your mission this time!"

"middle!"
