I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 678: Are you serious about your firepower?
After discussing with Li Yunlong, Yang Yuanshan hurried back to Shuiquan with Zuo Feng.

Without even having time to drink a sip of water, he asked Zhang Xiaohe to call Wei Dayong and Wang Ye over.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

Wei Dayong came first, with millet still stuck on his face, obviously he had just been eating.

"Based on what you discovered on the road, I think it was an elite Japanese force that sneaked in.

The target is probably the headquarters of Yulan Temple.

After discussing with my superiors, I decided to let your special operations company protect the headquarters.

How about it, are you confident?

The safety of the leaders and political commissars must not be compromised in the slightest!"

As Yang Yuanshan spoke, his expression became very serious.

In northwest Shanxi, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are absolutely indispensable!
At least, that's the case for Yang Yuanshan!

Without them, his superiors would definitely send someone else, and then his life might not be so comfortable anymore.

Who else could tolerate a regiment leader like him living a richer life than the leaders at the headquarters?

"Don't worry, Commander, our special operations company will ensure that we complete the mission!

I chased those bastards all the way here but didn't see any trace of them. I'm so angry!

If they really dare to show up, I will never let them go."

Wei Dayong patted his chest and made the promise, his face full of excitement.

"Good! Just have confidence.

If those Japanese devils dared to attack the headquarters, they would definitely be well-equipped.

I'll prepare some equipment for you, and you follow me."

As Yang Yuanshan said this, he had an idea and placed the newly acquired 38 MG-42 general-purpose machine guns and a batch of bullets in the empty room next door.

"Captain, the 'Bazhuka' we used to attack the airport is quite useful, but we are out of shells. How about you get us some shells?

I'll just bring two more heavy machine guns."

Wei Dayong followed Yang Yuanshan and kept talking.

"That's called bazooka, not 'bazooka.'

I have also prepared shells for you."

Yang Yuanshan patted Wei Dayong on the head, and then he had an idea and threw out 200 bazooka armor-piercing bullets from the system warehouse.

He estimated that if it was really Yamamoto Ikki's men who came again, their number would not exceed a hundred. For the sake of mobility, they would probably bring seven or eight grenade launchers.

Wei Dayong and others have these 200 armor-piercing bullets, so they should be able to deal with their grenade launchers easily.

"Hey, all cards are the same."

Wei Dayong scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

……

In just a few steps, Yang Yuanshan brought Wei Dayong to the next room.

When Wei Dayong saw the boxes piled on the ground, he was immediately filled with curiosity.

Without waiting for Yang Yuanshan's order, he rushed over clumsily, opened the box in no time, took out an MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, and shouted excitedly:
"Captain, isn't this the general-purpose machine gun that appeared in the batch of equipment shipped back from Guanjialing last time?
Last time I wanted to get a few for fun, but Chief of Staff Han refused to give them to me.”

"Yes. This thing can be used as a light machine gun with a bipod, and as a heavy machine gun with a tripod.

Even if you have a lot of brute force, it's not impossible to just pick him up and fire at him."

Yang Yuanshan recalled that Wei Dayong actually picked up a Type 92 heavy machine gun weighing over 100 kilograms and charged forward. He felt that this guy was simply a bull.

Inhuman!
After hearing his introduction, Wei Dayong's eyes lit up immediately. He held the machine gun and gestured with it, feeling that this thing was perfect for him.

He quickly said:
"Captain, I will immediately call for someone to move these guns and then go to Magnolia Temple."

"Well, there are 38 machine guns here. Your special operations company is small in number, so you only need 12.

Bring more bullets, this thing has a high rate of fire and consumes a lot of bullets.

Once you find the Japanese coming, don't be stingy with your bullets, just beat them up!"

Yang Yuanshan gave further instructions.

"Yes! Don't worry, Captain."

……

After making arrangements with Wei Dayong, Yang Yuanshan had just walked out of the room when Wang Ye arrived.

"Captain, Xiaohe said you were looking for me?"

"good.

I guess a group of elite Japanese soldiers are going to launch a surprise attack on the headquarters of Yulan Temple, so they want you to take people to block the mountain road behind Huangshi Village.

Don’t give them a chance to escape.”

Yang Yuanshan explained.

Huangshi Village is about 2 kilometers away from Maitreya Mountain where the Magnolia Temple is located. Yang Yuanshan and Li Yunlong have just discussed and concluded that if the Japanese elite troops attack, once they are defeated, they will either retreat south through Caoshangou or westward towards Shou County and Yuci.

Or you can evacuate eastwards through Huangshi Village towards Shimen.

As for the Caoshangou direction, Li Yunlong decided to assign it to his guard regiment to block, so Yang Yuanshan arranged people to block the Huangshi Village direction.

The reason why He Yunfu, Wang Quanfa and others were not allowed to withdraw people from the main infantry battalion was, of course, not to affect their rest and training.

After all, the Japanese invaders from the east will be arriving any day, so these infantry battalions must make all preparations.

As for the guard battalion, it had always been by his side and had not had any battles to fight, and the soldiers were all in a state of crying out.

Just give them something to do.

Moreover, the firepower company of the guard battalion is mostly equipped with submachine guns and light machine guns, which are also suitable for this kind of close-range combat.

When Wang Ye heard that he finally had a mission, he was immediately excited and said confidently:

"The Guard Battalion will ensure that the mission is accomplished!" "Okay, just leave the Communications Company to me and take the others to Mount Maitreya immediately.

Be careful to hide, don't let the Japanese sentries find you, or they won't dare to come."

"understand!"

Wang Ye ran away.

"Wang Ye, don't worry. There are a number of machine guns in this room. Take them with you."

He had just released 38 MG-42 general-purpose machine guns and gave 12 to Wei Dayong. There were 26 left, so he might as well give them to the guard battalion.

Yang Yuanshan pondered that if Yamamoto Ikki really came, he would first be taught a lesson by Wei Dayong's bazooka and MG-42 when attacking Yulan Temple, and then be beaten by Wang Ye's Guard Battalion's MP38 submachine guns and MG-42 when retreating. He would probably question his life.

If Yang Yuanshan were in his place, he would definitely roar to the sky: Are you serious about this firepower?

Bullets are free, right?
Catch me and bully me?
When Wang Ye heard Yang Yuanshan say there was a machine gun, he hurried into the house to check out out of curiosity.

Then he saw the batch of MG-42s and was naturally surprised.

I thought to myself: This thing is much more powerful than those Type 99 light machine guns equipped in my battalion!

With 26 guns like these, Wang Ye would not be afraid even if the Japanese sent a battalion!

……

Watching Wei Dayong and Wang Ye and their men divide up the equipment in the house and then go their separate ways, Yang Yuanshan finally had time to drink some water and wash his face.

He also asked the messenger to summon the battalion commanders to come to his place for a meeting.

Li Yunlong adjusted the next combat deployment, which he also wanted to convey to the battalion commanders below.

……

Not long after, Feng Shuanglin and Guo Youqing from the anti-aircraft artillery battalion arrived first.

From the looks of their faces, it can be seen that they have had a pretty good rest these past few days.

When he saw Yang Yuanshan, he immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Captain!"

"Well, have you recruited all the troops for both battalions in the past few days?"

Yang Yuanshan spoke.

This time when the special forces regiment was dispatched to ambush the Japanese, he did not bring Feng Shuanglin and the others with him. He wanted them to stay in Shuiquan to recruit soldiers and restore their strength.

Upon hearing this, both of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads:
"Captain, we haven't recruited all the members yet."

"What? Not all the recruits?
what happened? "

Yang Yuanshan was puzzled.

Not to mention Guo Youqing, he had great confidence in Feng Shuanglin's abilities, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such an answer.

"Captain, we have been fighting the Japanese at Shuiquan for so long, and each regiment has suffered heavy losses. All the militiamen suitable for joining our team have already been recruited in the nearby villages!

What's more, Political Commissar Zhao also sent people to nearby villages to do work, telling them that the Japanese were coming and asking them to move to the mountains.

So when our recruiters went to the village to recruit soldiers, they couldn't recruit many people at all!"

Feng Shuanglin explained.

"Okay. Then didn't you send someone further away?

Towards Shou County and Heyuan.”

Yang Yuanshan nodded and understood their difficulties.

Not to mention the New 1st and 2nd Regiments, even his Special Forces Regiment has recruited thousands of new soldiers here, exhausting the population potential near the water spring. This is also normal.

"Of course.

However, the journey is relatively long, so our current progress is not very ideal.

At present, our two battalions each have only 700 to 800 people."

"Okay, seven or eight hundred is fine.

Can I work on those anti-aircraft guns of yours?"

Yang Yuanshan was a little helpless.

The Special Forces Regiment fought too many battles and consumed too many troops, so it was always short of manpower.

Before leading his men to Xiazhai Village to ambush the Japanese, Yang Yuanshan took out 36 Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 24 Oerlikon machine guns and gave them to their two battalions respectively.

It was planned that the First Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion would be mainly responsible for air defense missions, while the Second Anti-Aircraft Artillery Battalion would be mainly responsible for dealing with the Japanese infantry.

After all, with the few veterans left in the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, it was a bit too much to expect them to provide air defense.

It’s better not to waste anti-aircraft guns.

"There shouldn't be any problem fiddling with the anti-aircraft gun, but don't count on its accuracy, Captain. It will take at least ten days or half a month to recover to 40% or 50% of its previous strength."

Feng Shuanglin answered.

"alright, I got it.

But I definitely don’t have the time for you!

You have to be mentally prepared.”

Yang Yuanshan patted their shoulders.

"Captain, are the Japanese coming?"

Guo Youqing asked curiously.

“Well, I’ll talk to you later when everyone is here, you guys sit down and drink some water first.

I sent two telegrams."

Yang Yuanshan pointed at the teapot on the table, and then asked someone to summon Wu Jun, the squad leader of the telecommunications class.
