I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

The night in Shimen City is very quiet.

Ordinary people locked their doors and went to bed early to avoid trouble.

Apart from the footsteps of the Japanese patrol troops and the cries of wild cats, there was no other sound.

However, in the communications room of the Shimen Garrison Regiment, the telegraph operator on duty was still sending and receiving telegrams with a "beep-tapping" sound.

Suddenly, a telegraph operator took off his headphones, stood up with a look of horror on his face, and handed a telegram paper to the on-duty telecommunications staff, Sakai Sanosuke, who was half-lying on a chair and dozing off.

"Captain, there's a call from Domon Coal Mine!"

Sakai Sanosuke forced himself to half open his eyes and muttered:

"Yoshi! Is this the news that Kaneda-kun has wiped out the Tubalu guerrillas?"

"No! It's not a victory message, but a farewell message!"

The telegraph operator looked very unhappy.

Although the defeat on the front line had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help feeling a sense of grief for the other party.

"Nani? Farewell electricity???"

How can this be? "

Sakai Sanosuke's sleepiness was completely gone.

He came to his senses instantly, stood up abruptly, snatched the telegram from the telegraph operator's hand and began to read it carefully.

After a moment, he felt as if he had lost all his parents and was in great danger.

——A few hours ago, he received a telegram from Toshikazu Kaneda saying that they had been attacked and the battle would be resolved soon.

So he took his own initiative and did not send the telegram to his superior immediately.

Now that something big has happened, he is absolutely to blame!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but roared in frustration:

"Baka! Didn't that idiot Kaneda Toshiichi just say that it was just a harassment by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas and could be easily wiped out?

Why are they all broken into pieces now?"

The telegraph operators in the room looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

Afraid of getting into trouble.

……

After cursing, Sakai Sanosuke paced around the telecommunications room like an ant on a hot pan for two rounds, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush to the room of Lieutenant Colonel Shohei Yasuda, commander of the Shimen Garrison Regiment, with the two telegrams sent from Domen Coal Mine.

——The former commander of the Shimen Garrison Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Nagata Ritsuki, was held accountable and sent back to the reserve by Matsui Jugen half a month ago because of his poor performance in combat and failure to protect the old Japanese soldier Okamura.

Now, Lieutenant Colonel Yasuda was transferred here from the front army headquarters a few days ago.

……

At this moment, Shohei Yasuda has fallen asleep.

I was woken up by Sakai Sanosuke banging on the door, which made me feel a little dissatisfied.

He was thinking that he had to replace the staff left over from his predecessors in the wing headquarters as soon as possible.

While getting up and getting dressed, he shouted coldly:

"Come in!"

Sakai Sanosuke immediately pushed the door open with trepidation.

Urgent report:

"Your Excellency, the brave soldiers of the Tumen Coal Mine were attacked by a large force of the Eighth Route Army and have all been killed."

"What? All of us will die together? How is this possible!!!"

Shohei Yasuda stopped buttoning his shirt instantly and his eyes almost popped out.

He had been in Shimen City for half a month, so he naturally knew about the defense situation of Tumen Coal Mine.

I know that there are two squadrons of the Locust Army and two battalions of the Locust Association Army stationed there.

Many artillery towers were built and barbed wire and minefields were set up.

Although it cannot be said to be impregnable, it is still a force to be reckoned with and can be easily conquered.

What's more, if they were attacked, there is no way they would not even send a telegram, right?
Are all the officers over there dead?

……

Seeing the shocked look on the face of the wing commander, Sakai Sanosuke's heart was beating like a drum.

He quickly handed over the telegram in his hand, trembling, and explained:
"Your Excellency, Commander, Mr. Kaneda called at around 10 o'clock and said that it was just the Tuba guerrillas who were harassing us.

So I...I didn't come to disturb the captain's rest.

Unexpectedly, less than three hours later, his telegraph operator sent a farewell message! "

With trembling hands, Shohei Yasuda grabbed the two telegrams and read them quickly.

Then a big shovel was thrown on Sakai Sanosuke's face.

Roaring loudly:

"Baga! You idiot, you received the message but didn't report it, you are neglecting your duty!
Now we don’t even know how many soldiers there are in the Eighth Route Army or what heavy weapons they have!

How can I explain this to the Commander?"

Sakai Sanosuke felt very depressed when he saw that he still couldn't avoid the beating despite his lack of strength.

He immediately stiffened his neck and threw the blame:

“This… this is all Kaneda-kun’s fault!
He actually sent the message back without finding out the enemy's situation. What a damn bastard!

waste! "

The dead can't talk anyway.

Sakai Sanosuke didn't mind at all and let Kaneda Toshiichi take the blame.

His rebellious appearance immediately made Shohei Yasuda even angrier.

He slapped him on the other side of his face and yelled angrily:
"You blame-shifting bastard!

You should go to the reserve immediately!"

Then he pushed him away and rushed out of the room.

After receiving these two slaps, Sakai Sanosuke's face immediately swelled up like a pig's head.

I couldn't help but roar wildly in my heart: You bastard!

What does it have to do with me if Toshikazu Kaneda’s men are dead?
I'm just a telecommunications consultant!

He even wanted to draw his gun immediately, raise his hand and shoot this guy, so that he would commit suicide out of fear of crime!
……

Shohei Yasuda rushed out of the room, but he did not immediately order his soldiers to assemble.

Although he is now the commander of the Shimen City Garrison Regiment and has a strong background, he has little power and cannot mobilize any troops.

Because in Shimen City, in addition to his garrison regiment, there was also a main regiment that originally belonged to the Type A division - the 1th Regiment of the 57st Division.

This regiment is well-organized and powerful, and its commander, Taro Takigawa, holds the rank of colonel.

Ever since arriving in Shimen City, I have naturally been riding on his head.

So now, Shohei Yasuda went to discuss with the other party how to deal with the current situation.

……

Soon, he arrived at the courtyard where Taro Takigawa lived and ordered the other side's guards to report.

It was late at night, and the guards certainly didn't want to offend the captain.

But seeing that Shohei Yasuda was in a rage, he knew that something must have happened. Although he looked embarrassed, he did not dare to be negligent and hurried in to call for help.

Taro Takigawa had his sweet dream disturbed and he didn't feel good for Shohei Yasuda.

After asking him to come into the house, he asked coldly:
"Yasuda-kun, why do you come to see me so late at night?

Can't we talk about it in the morning?"

Shohei Yasuda was very upset when he saw this guy sitting on the bed with his clothes on and not getting up.

Cursing inwardly: Do you have any sense of manners?
However, his military rank was lower than others, so he was not qualified to make a move, so he quickly spoke honestly:
"Colonel, there's an accident at the Domon Coal Mine."

"Nani? Something happened?

Did we encounter an enemy attack?"

Taro Takigawa asked quickly.

But I couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

His 57th Regiment has been resting in Shimen City for more than ten days and is feeling bored.

If any enemy really dares to show up and cause trouble, that would be exactly what he wants!

“It’s not just about the attack!

I received their farewell call.

The 110rd Battalion of the 139th Regiment of the th Division, all members will be killed in battle!"

Yasuda Shohei answered bitterly. Although he had just been transferred to Shimen City, the blame for the loss of Tumen Coal Mine would most likely be put on him.

After all, Shimen City is the closest city to Tumen Coal Mine, so it has the obligation to provide support!

"What? A whole team was killed in battle. How... how is this possible?"

Taro Takigawa's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

When did the Locust Warriors become such losers?
Even though the 110th Division is not considered elite, it shouldn't be so weak, right?
Shohei Yasuda quickly explained:

"Sir, this brigade suffered heavy losses. Only two squadrons, less than 400 warriors, are left."

“What about 400 warriors?

Are they so stupid that they can't even hold their ground and wait for help?"

Taro Takigawa asked back coldly.

Shohei Yasuda quickly explained to him what had happened.

Taro Takigawa became even angrier when he heard that they didn't even know how many people there were in the attack on Domon Coal Mine, or what heavy weapons they were equipped with.

There was already anger in his eyes.

He realized:

This Shohei Yasuda has caused trouble and now he is the one who has to clean up the mess!

I couldn't help but curse the other person in my heart for being shameless.

Little did he know that Shohei Yasuda was also a victim.

In his heart, he wanted to tear these two idiots, Toshikazu Kaneda and Sanosuke Sakai, into pieces even more than he did!

……

After panting for a long time, Taro Takigawa still had to face the problem in front of him.

With a change of mind, he said in a deep voice:
“Mr. Yasuda, this Tumen Coal Mine is very important to our Locust Army.

We must not sit idly by.

I am determined to lead the warriors to destroy these damn bugs!"

This is what Shohei Yasuda and others meant. After all, his own troops were responsible for guarding the Shimen Gate, and it was not easy for them to go out of the city and fight at will.

So he quickly pretended to be grateful and said:

"Your Excellency, you are truly the backbone of our Locust Army and the pillar of our empire!

It’s really admirable! ”

Taro Takigawa really enjoyed this kind of nice sound.

My eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Just as I was about to say something modest, I heard Yasuda Shohei say:
"Colonel, are you going to leave immediately to prevent the Eighth Route Army from escaping?"

Taro Takigawa shuddered all over and shook his head like a rattle:
“No, no, no, my warriors have trained hard today and must rest well to recover their fighting strength.

Mr. Yasuda, please immediately arrange for someone to prepare food supplies and ammunition for us.

When the sun rises, my warriors will go out of the city and wipe out those damn rats!"

He was not stupid. Of course he was unwilling to risk being shot by his own men and let his soldiers get up late at night to clean up the other side's mess.

But his excuse was really lame.

Shohei Yasuda couldn't help but complain in his heart: Is the training so damn hard?

Your people are clearly on holiday today!

A few bastards even went to a restaurant to drink and fight. Do you think I don’t know?
Although he was nervous, Shohei Yasuda knew that his status and position were lower than Taro Takigawa's, so he could only pretend that he knew nothing and continued to ask:
"Then, Colonel, how many troops are you going to take to the coal mine?"

Tarou Takigawa didn't know that the man in front of him was teasing him, so he answered as a matter of course:
"Of course the whole squadron will go out together!"

When Shohei Yasuda heard that the other side wanted to take the entire 57th Regiment away, he immediately became unhappy.

Wouldn’t that weaken the defensive strength of Shimen City?
He quickly stopped and said:

"Colonel, there is no need to make such a fuss, right?

To mobilize a regiment, we must send a telegram to the front for instructions!"

"Baga! You idiot!

Don’t you know that the enemy situation at Tumen Coal Mine is unclear?
Being able to kill nearly 400 warriors of my locust army in such a short time, he is definitely not an ordinary person! "

Taro Takigawa was furious.

The fact that the entire First Division, except for his regiment, was wiped out in northwestern Shanxi shocked him for several days.

From then on, he never dared to be as arrogant as before.

Now that he has to take action to annihilate the enemy, he must of course go all out to avoid making the same mistake again!

"But--"

Shohei Yasuda wanted to struggle a little longer.

But was interrupted by the other party:

"Baga! Yasuda-kun, are you a Tubalu?
Do you intend to disperse my warriors and let them die?"

Now that words like this have been spoken, what else can Shohei Yasuda say?

I can only defend myself indignantly:

"Colonel, you are insulting the samurai honor of my Yasuda family!!!

I will never accept it! "

Takigawa Taro snorted coldly:
"Humph! Then go and prepare supplies for me immediately to avoid delaying our operation!
As for asking the front army for instructions, I will personally send a telegram to the commander!"

"Hi!"

……

This side of Tumen Coal Mine.

The civilians who were imprisoned in the mine had no idea that the special forces regiment had already taken over the coal mine.

They heard the gunfire outside gradually subside.

Everyone couldn't help but look solemn.

Some people even sat down on the ground and sighed:

"Alas, I don't know which unit this is, but they overestimated their own capabilities and were defeated by the Japanese!"

His words seemed to remind everyone, and someone immediately nodded in agreement:
"Yes! You dare to attack this heavily defended coal mine without any artillery, how stupid!
Didn't you see all those gun towers outside this mine?"

"Dog Days"

……

For a moment, the atmosphere in the mine was very depressing.

Suddenly, a clever ghost shouted loudly:

"The Japanese have been attacked. Will they take it out on us tomorrow?"

As soon as he said this, the civilians became agitated.

"This... this shouldn't be possible, right?"

"It's okay, at most we'll be whipped a few times.

I have thick skin and flesh, so I am not afraid!"

"These dogs and beasts, I really want to fight them."

……

Just as they were discussing and worrying, suddenly, the voice of someone passing by outside the mine was heard:
"These little devils are not good enough to fight!

I just killed one!"

Another voice continued:

"You should be content, I didn't get any this time!

Damn it, these bastards are so fucking cunning.

I was targeting a second lieutenant, but I fired three times and missed! "

"Hey, Lao Xu, I think you just didn't practice shooting well enough!"

……

Hearing this conversation, the laborers in the mine felt great joy in their hearts.

Many smart people have realized that it seems that the Japanese outside have lost!

Immediately someone shouted:
"Boss outside, let us out!"

This shout immediately alerted the other people in the mine, and everyone also shouted:

"Help! Help!"
