I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

At the headquarters of the Japanese 26th Division.

Operations staff officer Saburo Kishida looked at the body of Yano Hidesaburo and cursed Kuroda Shigeru madly in his heart.

He cursed the other party's ancestors for eighteen generations.

——Including all female relatives.

But there is no doubt that cursing in your heart will not solve any problems.

Hearing the shouting and screaming outside becoming more and more intense, Saburo Kishida came to his senses.

I knew I couldn't delay any longer.

We must find a solution to the current situation as soon as possible.

He was not stupid, so he naturally knew that now that Kuroda Shigeru had escaped, if he really followed his orders and ran away carrying a corpse, he would not be able to run very fast.

If you are caught up by the enemy, your life will be in danger.

Fortunately, at this time, he saw Yano Eizaburo's guards surrounding him.

He was still shouting loudly:

"Your Excellency, the enemy is coming! We must move immediately!"

Kishida Saburo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly gave a loud order:
"The Chief of Staff has ordered you to take the division commander and move back, quickly!"

Then, he followed Kuroda Shigeru's escape route and ran away.

While running, he was still thinking in his heart: It feels so good to be a higher-ranking official!

You can let these people take the blame for you!
……

In the county seat of Jinchang County.

It took the soldiers of the special forces regiment less than three hours to wipe out all the Japanese defenders in the city.

Several battalion commanders came together to report the situation to Yang Yuanshan.

"Captain, the battle is over. Together, our battalions should have wiped out two to three thousand Japanese soldiers.

But most of the bodies were blown to pieces by the shells, so it's hard to count the exact amount of loot."

"It doesn't matter how much we gain, no one can erase the contribution of our special forces regiment in this battle.

What about your casualties?

Isn't it going to be another huge loss?"

Yang Yuanshan asked hurriedly with concern.

He could find out the number of enemies killed and so on just by taking a look at the system reward message.

Naturally, there is no need to ask your subordinates to go through the trouble of counting them.

When he asked about the losses, He Yunfu immediately stepped forward to answer:
"Our several battalions together lost more than 70 people, mainly because the new recruits did not know how to protect themselves on the battlefield.

In addition, there are less than 120 seriously injured soldiers. "

With less than 200 casualties, Yang Yuanshan was naturally very satisfied with the elimination of at least two to three thousand enemies.

With a casualty ratio of one to ten, what's the point of using a bicycle?

Even though this casualty ratio was achieved under the cover of Wang Xikui's sniper company and a large number of heavy artillery and tanks, so what?

The dead Japanese soldiers can’t come out to appeal for justice, right?

He immediately smiled and praised:
"Well done!"

Then he gave the order after thinking:

"Each of your battalions, immediately arrange for people to send the wounded back to the field hospital, and then evacuate Jinchang County, rest and eat on the spot, and summarize the combat experience.

In the afternoon, you will retreat to Qixia Town with the artillery battalion."

"What? Retreat in the afternoon?

Captain, we haven't cleaned up the battlefield yet!"

The first battalion commander Xu Wei quickly reminded him.

"Arrange some people to search and see if you can get the Japanese's food and supplies.

As for other weapons and equipment, there is no need to clean them.

I'll give it to Captain Zou and his men from the Yanbei Detachment later."

Yang Yuanshan answered casually.

He estimated that most of the Japanese weapons and equipment had been destroyed by the shells from his own artillery battalion, so there was no need to waste his precious time since he would not be able to pick up anything good.

Besides, even if it wasn't blown up, Yang Yuanshan had a lot of new goods in his system warehouse that he couldn't use up, so how could he be interested in these second-hand goods used by the Japanese?

Seeing him being so rich and inhumane again, everyone present was speechless.

I decided to skip this topic and let Wang Quanfa ask:

"Captain, isn't the fighting going on over there in the New Second Regiment?
If we withdraw without helping, will Captain Kong blame us?"

"Complain? You're overthinking it.

If we really go over to help, Captain Kong might think we are trying to steal his meat!

I don’t want to be a sucker!”

Yang Yuanshan shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing his firm attitude, everyone had nothing to say and could only obey his orders and go about their work.

……

The special forces regiment took over Jinchang County quickly, as if they were plowing a yard and sweeping a hole. It was so smooth that it was unbelievable.

But the battle at Xin County and Xinkou Pass was not so easy.

A large number of Japanese troops, led by the Chief of Staff of the 26th Division, Kuroda Shigeru, broke out to the north.

The soldiers from the New Second Regiment, the Yanbei Detachment, and the Suinan area had to launch a pursuit all over the mountains and plains.

The battlefield expanded several times in an instant.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire like frying beans was heard everywhere.

Although the Japanese soldiers had no will to fight and fled in a panic, their marksmanship was sharp and they did cause some trouble for our soldiers.

Fortunately, the weapons and equipment of the New Second Regiment and other units are now quite powerful, and there is sufficient ammunition, so the Japanese did not break out of the encirclement.

……

Around one o'clock in the afternoon.

After the soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment finished their lunch, Yang Yuanshan immediately ordered Deputy Regiment Commander Zhan Haishan to take charge and lead them to withdraw to Qixia Town.

He and Han Yang would continue to stay here with the guard battalion, preparing to finish the job.

Of course, the news of their large-scale withdrawal could not be concealed from anyone.

When Kong Jie, Zou Qingzhi and other group leaders received the news, they were immediately panicked.

He quickly handed over the task of commanding his men to pursue and encircle the Japanese to his deputy.

He hurried over and asked Yang Yuanshan:
"Captain Yang, why is your regiment withdrawing so soon?

Is there something going on in other directions?"

Yang Yuanshan shook his head and explained:
"No.

I think they are no longer needed in Xinkou, so it would be better to withdraw them early to rest and restore their combat effectiveness.

There’s no telling when the next raid by the Japanese will come.”

After hearing this explanation, everyone was speechless.

I thought to myself: Good man, you really don’t take the Japanese seriously.

There is still a lot of gunfire on the battlefield!

And didn’t they also survive the subsequent counterattacks on Gang County and Daizhou?

Why is it not needed?

……

The atmosphere was awkward for a full minute before Yan Wenchao, the leader of the Second Detachment of the Suinan Region, stepped forward to break the deadlock and asked:
"Captain Yang, your regiment has a lot of artillery and fights quickly, which I can understand. But why are you also so fast at cleaning up the battlefield?

It seems like only a few hours have passed since the battle ended and we evacuated now?"

Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly and said nonsense:
"Captain Yan, our regiment has been in battle for a long time, and the soldiers are exhausted. We are really unable to clean up the battlefield.

How about you take the trouble to help us?"

Hearing this, Zou Qingzhi immediately became anxious. Before Yan Wenchao could react, he immediately jumped out and said:

"Captain Yang, let our regiment handle the cleaning of the battlefield!
We are familiar with this job!"

Previously, the Special Forces Regiment annihilated the Japanese Independent Mixed 2nd Brigade. They were the ones who cleaned up the battlefield and gained a lot of benefits.

That's why Zou Qingzhi was so eager to be the first.

As a result of his interruption, Yan Wenchao immediately came back to his senses. After a moment's thought, he figured out the benefits of the situation.

He shouted loudly:
"Captain Zou, aren't you stretching your hand too far?

Captain Yang asked me, Yan Wenchao, for help, so why are you jumping out?"

Of course, there was no way Zou Qingzhi would give up fighting for this good job just because of his words.

Not to be outdone, he shouted:

"How many people are there in your detachment? Can you clean up such a large Jinchang County?
If the delay is too long and affects the overall situation, can you afford it, Captain Yan?"

Seeing them fighting for it, Cai Yunpu, the commander of the third regiment of the Yanbei detachment, and others also joined the fight.

Everyone wants to take a bite of this piece of fat meat.

Yang Yuanshan didn't want to hear them yelling about this nonsense, so he quickly stood up and interrupted them:

“Several regiment commanders and detachment commanders, please discuss the matter of cleaning up the battlefield in private.

Whatever, I have no objection.

But if you are short of equipment, you can do me a favor, I am willing to give you equipment as a reward!"

"What's the deal?"

There was a gleam in Zou Qingzhi's eyes.

He knew best how heroic Yang Yuanshan was.

Now listening to what the other party said, it is clear that there are great benefits!
Don't miss it!
However, Kong Jie on the side couldn't help but smile evilly.

He could guess without thinking that Yang Yuanshan was definitely going to rob them again.

……

Sure enough, seeing Zou Qingzhi taking the bait, Yang Yuanshan immediately revealed the answer with a fox-like smile:

"It's nothing, it's just that our regiment lost a lot of men in the battle of Huangping Town and we are in urgent need of reinforcements.

If your groups have enough manpower, you can consider supporting us."

"Good guy!

Captain Yang, are you planning to trade people for equipment?
If the superiors knew about this, I would be punished, right? "

Qin Hui, the leader of the first team in the Suinan area, couldn't help but speak.

He felt that Yang Yuanshan was really brave and dared to do such a thing!

After all, our military forces are disciplined and obey orders.

Soldiers of various units are not the personal property of the military commander and can be disposed of at will.

It's fine to mobilize a few people, as long as the soldiers have no objection, they usually won't investigate.

But if a large number of people are transferred, approval from superiors is required.

Otherwise, if all the troops act recklessly, wouldn’t it be chaos?
……

Yang Yuanshan was already very familiar with recruiting people from other troops.

He didn't take Qin Hui's worries seriously at all.

Hehehe smiled:
"Captain Qin, our superiors haven't stipulated that we can't borrow some people from each other, right?

It also doesn't say that soldiers are not allowed to apply to their superiors to be transferred to the unit they want to go to, right?
Since there are no regulations or prohibitions, why can't I borrow some people from your troops?

After the soldiers arrived at my special forces regiment, they felt that it was fun to follow me, Yang Yuanshan, to fight the Japanese invaders, so they took the initiative to apply to their superiors to be transferred to our regiment to work.

As long as our group is willing to accept them and you are willing to release them, what's the problem?
Besides, we are all basic troops without any numbers!

The specific list of personnel may not have been reported to the superiors, right?"

After he said this, Qin Hui was speechless.

I thought to myself: Wow, you really know how to have fun!
No one can find any fault with this method!

But he didn't say anything, and Yan Wenchao beside him couldn't help but asked anxiously:

"Captain Yang, what are your rules for changing equipment?"

"Each 75mm mountain gun, with 300 rounds of ammunition, was exchanged for 100 soldiers.

Type 30 infantry gun in exchange for soldiers.

81mm mortar, in exchange for 20 soldiers.

As for the Type 38 rifle, bullets, medicines and so on, our group has everything. You can name your own price for how many you want!
I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand and stated his price in a very generous manner.

……

After hearing his conditions, the regiment commanders and detachment commanders of Yanbei and Suinan were all stunned.

It’s not that the price is too high, but that it is too low!
One hundred people can exchange for a 75mm mountain cannon with 300 rounds of ammunition!
This is just like picking it up for free, there's no difference!
They finally understood why their superiors had said good things were happening when they ordered them to come to support northwest Shanxi.

This is great!
Unlike the regiment commanders in northwestern Shanxi, who used to exchange equipment from the special forces regiment for nothing and whose appetites had long been whetted, they had never encountered such a pie-in-the-sky thing before!
What's more, Yang Yuanshan actually said that there were still medicines!

That is more valuable than artillery and shells, and we may not be able to seize it even if we fight the Japanese!
But the consumption is enormous.

So soon, they reacted and told Yang Yuanshan what they wanted.

Although they suffered a lot of casualties in the fighting these days.

But there wouldn't be any problem if everyone could allocate three or four hundred new recruits or logistics personnel.

Seeing how sensible they were, Yang Yuanshan was naturally delighted.

He immediately reported the personnel they needed to provide one by one, and generously gave them a lot of extra gifts, which made Zou Qingzhi and others so happy that they wanted to jump three feet high.

They all felt that they had made a fortune this time!
……

After such a deal, Yang Yuanshan got a total of 2000 soldiers from them!
Of course, he also paid a large amount of weapons, equipment, medicines and so on as a price.

But for Yang Yuanshan, this is a huge profit!
The batch of mountain cannons that Gao Yuanzhi and his team had eliminated were still occupying space in the warehouse, and now was a good time to clear out the inventory.

What's more, after destroying the Japanese 26th Division, his system should have rewarded him with a lot of equipment, but he hasn't checked it carefully yet.

……

After negotiating the deal, Yang Yuanshan told everyone that Li Yunlong would come to thank them, and asked them to withdraw their troops after dealing with the Japanese devils, and asked them, the regiment commanders and detachment commanders, to stay for a while and wait for Li Yunlong.

Zou Qingzhi and others were also very curious about the legendary figure Li Yunlong.

Now that I heard that I could see him soon, there was naturally no reason to refuse.

Nodded in agreement immediately.

Afterwards, they each returned to their own troops and continued to command the battle.

Yang Yuanshan ordered the telegraph operator to send a message to Zhou Xianpei and Zhao Li who stayed in Qixia Town, asking Zhou Xianpei to personally lead people to transport the mountain cannons that had been eliminated by the artillery battalion to the Xinkou area.

Then bring back the 2000 people who were supporting the Special Forces Regiment from various troops.

While we are on the way, we can carry out ideological work on these people to avoid wasting time.

——Although these people are not available yet, he has already negotiated with Zou Qingzhi and others that they will be assigned to him after they finish fighting and clean up the battlefield.

……

After arranging this matter, Yang Yuanshan found a place to lie down and checked the system rewards for this battle.

He thought, after all, he had defeated an entire division of the Japanese, so he should at least give them some good things, right?
