I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Outside Heyuan County.

After Kong Jie and Yang Yuanshan finished discussing the transaction, they asked about the reason why the special forces regiment went to Ji Zhong.

Yang Yuanshan did not hide anything from him and explained the whole thing to him in detail.

Now, Kong Jie and Dou Guangjie finally understood why Li Yunlong wanted to make such a big fuss and asked them to transfer their defenses with the New 1st Regiment.

The feelings are all to fill the defense gap after the special forces regiment was transferred away.

However, Kong Jie couldn't help feeling very uncomfortable.

I cursed inwardly: Damn it, that bastard Lao Li looks down on my New Second Regiment and thinks I’m not as good as Lao Ding!
I'll have to fight some great battles later to show him!
If Li Yunlong knew what he was thinking, he would probably snort coldly and ruthlessly retort:
"Hey, Lao Kong, is that all you can do?
What kind of beautiful battle can be fought?

Do you think I have never seen the world?
No matter how good you fight, can you compare with Yang Yuanshan?"

Kong Jie: ???
……

Yang Yuanshan was not in the mood to care what Kong Jie was thinking. After getting the situation clear, he discussed the arrangements for tonight's camping with Dou Guangjie, then said goodbye and returned to his own troops.

That night, more than 8,000 soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment moved into empty houses in various parts of Heyuan County and ate hot meals and dishes delivered by Dou Guangjie.

It completely relieved the fatigue of a day's march.

After the meal, Kong Jie arranged his baggage train to deliver thousands of Japanese military uniforms that had been cleaned but not yet mended, starched and dyed.

There was also a large number of dirty helmets.

The reason why the military uniforms and helmets are so different is naturally because -

For our army, the Japanese military uniforms can be washed and re-dyed to serve as new uniforms, which is very useful.

But the steel helmet is of no use at all except being sent to the arsenal for melting and making artillery shells.

After all, our army's tactics are mainly guerrilla warfare, and we pursue mountain guerrilla warfare. Wearing something that can easily cause accidental injuries is not worth the cost.

Seeing these things that the special forces group used to look down upon, Han Yang asked in confusion:

"Captain, why did Captain Kong send these junks here?

Did you get them as a reserve for military uniforms?
So it will be convenient to give them to the newly recruited soldiers after they arrive in Ji Zhong?

But we have to march now and don’t have time to deal with it!

This shit-yellow uniform can’t be worn unless it’s dyed gray.”

"How could I not know what you said?"

Yang Yuanshan rolled his eyes at him.

"Then what are you doing?"

Han Yang became more and more confused.

"Aren't we worried about being discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes?

I plan to have the soldiers wear these uniforms for camouflage when we encounter the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

This way we don’t have to march all night long.”

Yang Yuanshan explained unhappily.

"Is this...is this okay?"

Han Yang was a little skeptical.

Can you deceive the Japanese with just a torn military uniform and a helmet?
Do you really think the Japanese are fools?

"It's just a matter of trying whether there are any dates or not.

If it works, it will be a big profit.”

Yang Yuanshan answered nonchalantly.

His attitude has always been: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate" and never force anything.

Of course it would be great if we could hide it from the Japanese.

If he fails to keep it secret and is surrounded by several Japanese divisions, he will just need to send people.

All the troops who stayed behind, including Zhan Haishan, were transferred over to fight a fierce battle with the Japanese.

If that is still not enough, send a telegram to Li Yunlong and ask him to transfer all the troops in northwestern Shanxi to help.

Fight a decisive battle with the Japanese with hundreds of thousands of people!
Who knows, we might be able to defeat the Japanese Jibei Front Army in one battle!

Look at that old devil Matsui, what to do!
He believed that if a war of this magnitude really broke out in Ji Zhong, the leaders of the headquarters would definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

They will definitely take advantage of the Japanese in other areas.

Let them not even cry!
……

After hearing what he said, Han Yang stopped objecting and instead reminded:

"But, Commander, I see these uniforms only have jackets, no pants."

“I specifically told Captain Kong that pants were not needed.

Later, you can arrange for the soldiers to wear the Japanese military uniforms inside their gray military uniforms. When they encounter enemy aircraft reconnaissance, they can just take off the gray military uniforms.

It would be troublesome to wear pants.

Anyway, the Japanese air force has been defeated by us many times. Now when reconnaissance planes go out for reconnaissance, they usually only dare to take pictures at high altitudes and dare not dive for reconnaissance.

A shit-yellow shirt is enough to fool people."

Han Yang nodded:

“Okay then, I understand.

I will work with Lao Zhou to distribute these things to the soldiers.

But I guess the soldiers will definitely complain.

No one wants to wear this dog skin."

“Even if you don’t want to wear it, you have to wear it.

This is a military order!

In addition, Captain Kong said that there are four or five thousand pieces of clothing, which is not enough for each of us.

You should figure out how to distribute it to achieve the best effect. "

Yang Yuanshan explained again.

"Yes!"

……

Han Yang took his men downstairs to work, and Yang Yuanshan walked out of the camping place.

They found a hidden alley and released the equipment and ammunition that they had promised to give to Kong Jie.

It was already pitch black now, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

……

At dawn the next day, Yang Yuanshan ordered the soldiers to hurry up and have breakfast. Half an hour later, they set out eastward in a mighty procession.

When Kong Jie heard that they had already started to leave the city, he was immediately confused.

Holding his pipe, he ran to find Yang Yuanshan:

"Captain Yang, where is the equipment you promised to give me?

You don't want to default on your debt, do you?

I gave you all my military uniforms and helmets!"

Seeing his questions coming at him like a machine gun, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Unceremoniously responded:
"Captain Kong, look at what you have accomplished!
Am I, Yang Yuanshan, someone who lacks that little bit of equipment?"

Kong Jie suddenly looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly:
"Hahaha, I was just joking with you."

Yang Yuanshan was too lazy to argue with him, so he immediately told him where he had placed the equipment yesterday and asked him to take his own people to move it.

Kong Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After saying a few polite words as a farewell, he quickly ran towards the alley.

Last night, he had already arranged the destinations of the six infantry guns and 6 heavy machine guns.

If Yang Yuanshan really stood him up now, he would definitely be annoyed to death by the people below him.

……

After leaving Heyuan County, Yang Yuanshan led the soldiers and hurried eastward.

On the way, they inevitably encountered militias, guerrillas, and even scouts from the independent regiment. Everyone was shocked to see so many motorcycles, trucks, and tanks rushing forward.

Some people who were more cunning even suspected that these were Japanese soldiers disguised as our soldiers in uniform.

Fortunately, Wei Dayong and others were there to pave the way and make contacts, so that no misunderstandings or hiccups occurred.

……

A few days later, they finally got out of the towering Taihang Mountains and arrived near the Tumen Coal Mine.

Seeing that it was noon and the soldiers were sweating profusely, Yang Yuanshan was about to order them to go into the woods and bushes to rest for half an hour when suddenly someone in front of them shouted loudly:

"Look! Those Japanese planes!"

Yang Yuanshan quickly picked up the telescope and saw a black dot the size of a fly flying in the eastern sky.

He sighed that the soldier who was the first to sound the warning had very good eyesight.

While shouting orders:
"Immediately put on the Japanese helmets, take off our uniforms, revealing the Japanese uniforms underneath, and slowly retreat, making a gesture of advancing from west to east.

Those who don't have the Japanese uniforms, hide in the woods or bushes immediately!"

Following his order, more than 8000 soldiers immediately took action.

In a short while, they disguised themselves as a Japanese army of four to five thousand people.

From a distance, there are almost no flaws!
At this time, the plane in the sky had already flown over their heads, and the plaster flag was clearly visible.

They were two Type 97 headquarters reconnaissance aircraft that were already somewhat outdated.

Han Yang squatted in the bushes with Yang Yuanshan, looking up and asking carefully:
"Captain, can we hide it from the Japs?"

Yang Yuanshan was actually sweating in his heart.

But "the general is the courage of the army", and he doesn't want to disrupt the morale of the army.

I could only pretend to be calm and answer:
"should be no problem.

The Japanese pilots probably didn't expect our troops to have so many trucks and motorcycles."

Han Yang nodded slightly and said nothing more, just staring at the Japanese planes above his head.

Perhaps it was the steel helmets and shit-yellow uniforms of the special forces regiment's soldiers that really deceived the Japanese pilots.

Maybe they didn't even notice that there was a large army on the ground at this moment.

In short, after they flew over the heads of the special forces regiment soldiers, they did not dive and circle, take pictures to confirm their identities, but flew directly over them and continued to head west.

At this moment, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but jump up and shouted excitedly:
"I said the Japanese pilots were all blind!

They definitely didn’t notice us.”

Han Yang also stood up and complimented with a smile:

"Captain, you are still the best."

……

After the two Japanese reconnaissance planes completely disappeared in the western sky, Yang Yuanshan ordered the soldiers to put on their gray uniforms again, take off their helmets, and continue moving forward.

After walking for another hour, Wei Dayong suddenly came back in a hurry, carrying a man in tattered clothes.

Report to Yang Yuanshan:

"Captain, there are Japanese soldiers escorting many civilians to rebuild the Tumen Coal Mine ahead!

We caught a fellow villager, he said he escaped from there!"

In order to share the pressure on the troops in Central Hebei, Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao led the soldiers of the independent regiment to attack the Tumen Coal Mine and captured this large coal mine that produced high-quality anthracite.

Knowing that our army could not occupy the coal mine for long, the two men decided to blow up all the machinery, bunkers, mines and other facilities in the coal mine.

If the Japanese want to rebuild, it will take at least a year or two.

This can also prevent resources from being plundered by the Japanese.

Unexpectedly, after the war, when the Japanese came back and saw the coal mine in such a dire state, they did not give up, but organized people and started rebuilding it.

Yang Yuanshan quickly asked Wei Dayong to put the laborer down and observe him carefully.

The man was about thirty years old, skinny and ragged, and one could tell at a glance that he had suffered a lot.

But his skeleton is quite broad and his hands are like palm-leaf fans, which seems to indicate that he has some extraordinary origin.

At this moment, he was looking at the special forces soldiers, tanks, trucks and heavy artillery around him with shock.

His eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Yang Yuanshan quickly called Zhang Xiaohe:

"Xiaohe, bring a pot of water to this fellow."

Then he turned to Zhou Xianpei beside him and said:
"Lao Zhou, go and do some ideological work on him and find out the situation."

As he said this, he winked at the other person.

Zhou Xianpei instantly understood what Yang Yuanshan meant, nodded immediately, and took a guard to take the man aside to talk.

……

Yang Yuanshan then had time to ask Wei Dayong:
"Monk, how far is the Tumen Coal Mine from here?"

“About two or three kilometers.”

"How many Japanese soldiers are there guarding the coal mine?"

"From what we can see, there should be at least two squadrons!
There are at least two battalions of traitors serving as their dogs!"

Wei Dayong answered quickly.

"There are two squadrons of Japs and two battalions of Second Japs. That's a lot of people!
And we don’t know if the person is sleeping and you can’t see him.”

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh.

With the troops he currently leads, it is certainly no problem to destroy this group of enemies.

But it would be very difficult not to expose the whereabouts of the special forces group.

Even if we cut off the Japanese's telephone lines in advance, we could not prevent them from using the radio to report news to Shimen City.

Wei Dayong didn't have so many thoughts. After hearing his sigh, he quickly said:

"Captain, even if the Japs have a full-strength battalion, so what?

We were still near Yanmen Pass back then, and we once defeated an entire brigade of theirs!

If you agree, our special operations company will go tonight to kill all the Japanese and rescue all the villagers!"

Yang Yuanshan said speechlessly:
“Monk, you need to use your brain to fight.

With more than 8000 of us, can't we handle a large group?
The question is what are we here for? Have you forgotten? "

Wei Dayong scratched his head honestly:

"Captain, don't tell me that, I don't want to hear it.

Just tell me, what should we do now?
I'll just follow your instructions."

His reckless look and unwillingness to use his brain immediately made Yang Yuanshan lose his temper.

Even the guard battalion commander Wang Ye, who was not far away, couldn't help but laugh.

Han Yang beside him pondered and suggested:

"Captain, how about we let the soldiers rest here until night, and then launch a surprise attack to take over all the coal mines in one swift move?

As long as we move fast enough, the Japanese won't be able to detect us!"

Yang Yuanshan did not comment, but asked Wei Dayong:

"Monk, is there a road nearby that can allow us to bypass this coal mine?"

"Captain, if it's a small group of troops, it's no problem for them to take a small path and bypass it.

But it is impossible to make these trucks and tanks bypass them.

The Japanese built bunkers and watchtowers around the coal mine and deployed sentries to stand guard. They stood high and could see far.

Our trucks and tanks make too much noise when they are in motion, and even if we move at night, they will attract the Japanese's flares."

Wei Dayong shook his head like a rattle.

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help feeling helpless when he heard this.

The small Tumen Coal Mine actually became a stumbling block for them to go to Ji Zhong. This is really outrageous!

This is unscientific!
