I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

In a small cave.

After Yang Yuanshan finished assigning the combat tasks, he sent his favorite generals back to prepare for battle.

After they all left, he called over Political Commissar Zhou Xianpei and made arrangements:

"Old Zhou, aren't there more than 3000 civilians and prisoners of war in the Tumen Coal Mine?
They should all be good candidates for joining the army.

I would like to recruit some of them to join our group.

You need to think of work strategies and plans today and arrange staff.

As soon as we recapture the coal mine, you will lead the people to do the work, and quickly select those who are willing and suitable to join us, and march with us."

"Captain, how much time can you give me?"

Zhou Xianpei asked with a serious expression.

“Half a day at most.

At the latest, when the rapid infantry battalion arrives back at the coal mine, you will have to evacuate with them.

And Lao Zhou, you have to be alert to the Japanese or old men among these civilians and prisoners of war."

"Good guy!

Captain, you have given me a big problem!"

Zhou Xianpei smiled bitterly.

Although he had some political workers under him, it was extremely difficult to find out the basic situation of more than 3000 people in such a short time.

Seeing that he was in trouble, Yang Yuanshan quickly offered advice:
"Old Zhou, this is not as difficult as you think.

Once we recapture the coal mines and rescue the civilians and prisoners of war, there will surely be many people who want to go home on their own.

You don't have to worry about these people.

Isn't it enough to just ask those who want to join the army to do the work?
And isn’t there Qi Kai?

He has been imprisoned in the coal mine, so he must know a lot about people. You can find some trustworthy people to help through him, and then identify other people, which will definitely speed up the work."

After hearing what he said, Zhou Xianpei nodded repeatedly:
"Captain, you are still smart!

I will go hold a meeting with the political workers in the regiment and ask them to get ready! "

……

As the battalion commanders returned to their respective teams, the 8000 or so members of the special forces regiment immediately took action as swift as the wind, as if lions had awakened.

The soldiers' faces were all filled with eagerness to try.

It’s time to deal with the Japanese again, what a pleasure!

It was rare for the guard battalion to undertake such a major combat mission, so the battalion commander Wang Ye enthusiastically called Jiang Hong and Wang Xikui over and carefully discussed the specific details of tonight's operation with them.

Then he went to the rapid infantry battalion in person and borrowed Qi Kai, who had put on a new military uniform and instantly transformed from a down-and-out civilian into a soldier of our army.

When Qi Kai heard that they were going to attack the coal mine tonight, he was naturally overjoyed.

I patted my chest and promised that I would lead the way.

Many of his comrades and fellow villagers are still suffering in that coal mine!

By this time, he had received a rifle and a twenty-shot box gun from the camp, and his ammunition bag was full of bullets.

I just wish I could grow wings right away, fly directly into that coal mine, and fight those damn Japanese devils!
……

At this moment in Tumen Coal Mine.

The garrison mission was carried out by the 110rd Battalion of the 139th Regiment of the th Division of the Japanese.

This battalion suffered heavy losses in many previous battles, and now only has two squadrons left, with less than 400 people!
It was for this reason that they were sent to garrison the Domon Coal Mine by the division commander, Lieutenant General Iinuma.

Anyway, this amount of troops can't play a big role, so using them to do this kind of odd jobs is the best use of them.

Now, the battalion commander, Major Toshikazu Kaneda, is leading his men to inspect various parts of the coal mine to check the progress of its reconstruction.

From time to time, he shouted loudly:

"Hurry up, let these damn Chinese people work harder!"

"Baga! How dare this unruly person be lazy? Hurry up and take him out and kill him!"

"If we can't resume coal mining within a month, we'll all be dead!"

……

Under his command, the Japanese soldiers whipped the laborers wildly, forcing them to speed up.

All the civilians couldn't help but secretly look at these beasts with hatred.

I wish I could pounce on them immediately and bite them to death.

Everyone thinks: Sooner or later, our troops will slaughter all of you bastards!
When the time comes, I will cut you into pieces!

……

Time passes little by little.

The sky gradually darkened, and the moon rose, casting thousands of silver rays of light.

In the woods surrounding the Tumen Coal Mine, there began to be rustling and various noises.

But under the cover of the night wind, the Japanese soldiers standing on the artillery tower did not notice anything and just thought it was a wild beast moving around.

As time passed, the Tumen Coal Mine, which had been noisy all day, became quiet.

Except for the Japanese soldiers who were standing guard and patrolling, everyone else was basically asleep.

……

As soon as 10 o'clock in the evening arrives.

Jiang Hong and Wang Xikui, who had already led their men to follow Qi Kai and sneaked into the northwest of the coal mine less than 1 km away, looked at the hands of their watches and ordered at the same time:
"action!"

At the command, 600 soldiers under their command emerged from the bushes with guns in hand and rushed towards the coal mine like tigers out of a cage.

Soon, under Qi Kai's guidance, they avoided the minefield set up by the Japanese.

Approaching the artillery tower outside the coal mine.

Then, gunshots rang out one after another.

"Snap--Snap--"

The sentries on the Japanese artillery tower fell to the ground one after another.

The sharpshooters of the sniper company took action, and these defenseless guys had no choice but to meet the King of Hell.

Any more screams would be a disrespect to the marksmanship of the sniper company’s soldiers!
You know, on average, each of them has trained with at least a few thousand rounds of live ammunition!
If Yang Yuanshan wasn’t a screw-up, I wouldn’t be able to afford it!

……

On the road northwest of the coal mine, Xia Dayi, who had already led the entire battalion of soldiers and was ready, immediately led his men, carrying torches and using the moonlight, and rushed to Shima Village as soon as he heard gunshots from the coal mine.

The distance is 5 kilometers, and if it is daytime, they can reach the destination in half an hour at most.

But on a night like this, they would have to walk for more than an hour.

We have to hurry up.

With this action, hundreds of sidecar tricycles made rumbling sounds.

It echoed through the mountains and forests, like the roar of a tiger.

……

In Tumen Coal Mine.

When the Japanese sentry heard the first gunshot, he didn't react much.

I just thought someone's rifle went off accidentally.

But they were immediately awakened by the second and third gunshots and the sound of a motorcycle.

He began to shout in panic:

"Baga! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A low-level officer reacted quickly and shouted:
"Quick, quick! Fire the flares!

Northwest direction!"

……

I have to say that the quality of the Japanese soldiers is still quite strong.

Although it was a sudden attack in the middle of the night, the Japanese soldiers sleeping in the barracks had no time to rush out to resist, but the soldiers on patrol and guard quickly fired several flares in the northwest direction.

"Swish...swish...pop!" The white light of the burning magnesium powder illuminated the dark night sky.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance and sniper companies of the special forces regiment were vaguely exposed to the eyes of a small number of Japanese devils.

They immediately shouted loudly:

"It's the Tubalu guerrillas!"

……

The Japanese battalion commander, Major Kaneda Toshiichi, was also awakened from his sweet dream by the sound of gunfire. He hurriedly put on his clothes while shouting:
"Baga! What's going on? Where is the gunshot coming from?"

His most capable officer, Captain Imagawa Masasuke, rushed in and reported to him:
"Captain, there are some damn Eighth Route Army guerrillas outside!
They attacked our artillery tower and are now infiltrating the coal mines!"

“Bagya Road!
How many of these rats are there? "

Kaneda Toshi was furious.

His bad temper when he woke up was growing wildly in his heart, making him feel like drawing his knife and chopping someone.

“Judging from the exposed gunfire, there should be two to three hundred people.

However, they were only equipped with rifles, and no light or heavy machine guns or artillery.

It should not be the main force!"

Thanks to the soldiers in the sniper company, their marksmanship is better.

So Wang Xikui discussed with Jiang Hong that the sniper company should take action first to create the illusion that their own troops were insufficient.

After rushing into the coal mine, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company opened fire at full force, defeating the Japanese with lightning speed!
……

Upon hearing that there were only a few hundred guerrillas, Jin Tianmin breathed a sigh of relief.

With a turn of his eyes, he gave a loud order:

"Imagawa-kun, I order you to eliminate these damn Tubalu!"

When Imagawa Masasuke heard this, his face suddenly turned bitter.

He quickly said:
"Sir Captain, the Eighth Route Army launched a surprise attack, and the warriors are in a very unfavorable situation.

If we force an attack, there will probably be considerable casualties.

My humble suggestion is that we should shrink our defenses, hold our ground, and wait for daybreak?"

"Baga! You idiot.

Wouldn't it be better to let Kang Sang and Fu Sang's two battalions lead the way and reduce the casualties among the warriors?
Are we really going to leave our great locust army helpless with just a few hundred local guerrillas? "

Toshikazu Kaneda's face was full of disappointment.

The two battalions he was talking about were the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Shimen Special Guard of the Locust Association Army, which had just been formed less than a month ago.

The battalion commanders were Kang Dagui and Fu Mingtian.

To the Japanese, the only value of these guys who betrayed their ancestors is to be cannon fodder.

When Imagawa Masasuke heard that he didn't need his own people to die, he immediately smiled.

He nodded and agreed immediately:

"Hi!"

Then he ran out to get people.

……

As soon as Imagawa Masasuke left, Kaneda Toshikazu was not idle either. He immediately rushed to his office, picked up the phone, and prepared to call Shimen City to report the situation.

However, after shaking the phone for a long time, he found that the telephone line had been cut.

I couldn't help but get angry and started cursing:
“Bagya Road!
These damn rats just love to cause this kind of destruction!"

Then he muttered with a sinister smile:
"But do you think this will cut off our connection with our superiors?

That's ridiculous!
You country bumpkins probably don't know that there is such a magical device as a radio in the world, right?"

……

After boasting for three full seconds, Kaneda Toshikazu hurried to the telecommunications room and ordered the telegraph operator inside:

"Hurry up! Send a telegram to Shimen City and tell me that the Tumen Coal Mine was attacked at night by hundreds of Eighth Route Army guerrillas.

The warriors of my third brigade will destroy all these annoying guys as quickly as possible!"

"Hi!"

The telegraph operator agreed respectfully and then sat down to send the message.

……

It is said that Captain Masasuke Imagawa took decisive action after receiving the order from Toshikazu Kaneda.

He quickly summoned the 180 soldiers under his command and the two battalions of the traitors.

Then he ordered the second devil battalion commander Kang Dagui and Fu Mingtian:
"Kang Sang, Fu Sang, take your men and resist the attack of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas!

After dawn, the captain will give you a huge reward!"

How could Kang Dagui and Fu Mingtian not know that they were being used as cannon fodder?

His face suddenly became uglier than pig liver.

After the two looked at each other, Kang Dagui stepped forward to answer:
"Imagawa Taikun, it's dark now, it's very dangerous to rush out.

I suggest that we should shrink our defense line and wait for a while?

The Tubalu usually only have three bullets, and we will soon be able to counterattack! "

"Baga! Are you afraid of the enemy and afraid of fighting?

Everything must die! "

Imagawa Masasuke suddenly drew the saber from his waist, slashed twice in the air, and threatened loudly.

Seeing this, Kang Dagui and Fu Mingtian bent down involuntarily.

Continuously admitting defeat:
"Don't dare! Don't dare!

Imagawa Taikun, let's take action now!"

They looked like two spineless dogs.

Come to think of it, if you have any backbone, you won't be a traitor!
……

In the mine where the coal mine laborers were imprisoned.

The civilian laborers and prisoners of war, who had worked hard all day, also heard the gunshots coming from outside.

Suddenly everyone was very excited and couldn't help but whispered:
“There’s a war outside!

It sounds like someone is attacking the coal mine, we are saved!"

"It must be our team that's here. These damned Japs are doomed."

“Alas, I don’t know which team is doing something stupid.

Confused!
Without heavy weapons, if we attack rashly like this, we probably won't be able to get through at all!"

"Yeah yeah!

The Japanese not only built so many artillery towers, but also had hundreds of elite troops!
Plus those damn traitors helped.

I guess even three or five groups wouldn't be able to do anything to them, right?"

……

In the past, if they talked like this, the Japanese soldiers guarding the cave entrance would inevitably scold them, or even drag a few people out and whip them to serve as a warning to others.

But today, all the Japanese soldiers were called together to fight back, and no one paid any attention to them.

Some smart prisoners of war saw this situation and immediately realized that the Japanese were in big trouble this time!
I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: What kind of army is this, and why are they so powerful?
Not only did they dare to attack such a heavily defended coal mine, but they also stretched the Japanese's military strength to its limit?!

……

At this moment, the reconnaissance company and sniper company of the special forces regiment had already wiped out all the Japanese soldiers in several artillery towers and bunkers in the northwest.

Then, under the leadership of Qi Kai, they crossed the minefield, occupied the artillery towers that could serve as commanding heights, quickly set up MG-42 general-purpose machine guns, and began fire cover.

The reconnaissance company commander Jiang Hongda waved his hand, and led his men to cut the barbed wire and rush into the coal mine frantically.

They fired with rifles and light machine guns as they charged forward, leaving the Japanese soldiers who dared to show their heads completely powerless to fight back.

Wang Xikui led the soldiers of the sniper company to find a suitable sniping position, taking advantage of their accurate shooting skills to crazily harvest the heads of the Japanese devils.

Although the battle was not extremely fierce, the Japanese casualties were astonishingly large!
