I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 689 Use firepower to teach the Japanese a lesson!
I have to say, the Japanese are really nagging.

Just as Yang Yuanshan was muttering that he hoped they would come quickly, less than half an hour later, a sentry came running back to report to him:
"The Japanese army has split into two groups, north and south, heading straight for Shuiquan from the direction of Damai Valley and Guhe Village.

We estimate that we will be able to meet at Shuiquan City in three or four hours!"

Hearing this news, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but feel refreshed.

He quickly asked the sentry:
"Where is the Japanese heavy artillery?"

"There are two routes. The one in Barley Valley has about 20 guns with cannon shields.

Along the way to Guhe Village, there are about thirty 75mm mountain cannons that our regiment also has."

"Oh my goodness, it seems that the two Japanese divisions are acting separately!

Those who went along the Damai Valley route were the field artillery regiment, while those who went along the Guhe Village route were the mountain artillery regiment.

great!"

Yang Yuanshan muttered.

Then he arranged for a messenger to summon the battalion commanders to a meeting.

Of course, he did not forget to ask the telegraph operator to send a message to Li Yunlong to inform him of the news.

……

The battalion commanders had not arrived yet, but Li Yunlong called back and told Yang Yuanshan to let go and choose the fighter plane freely!

Even retreat does not require permission.

Everything goes according to the plan we had agreed upon before. We will make our utmost efforts to eliminate as many of the Japanese's effective forces as possible!
In addition, considering that Yulan Temple was no longer safe, he had moved his command center to a cave in Dazhai Mountain to the west.

However, most of his guard regiment still remains in the Caoshangou area. Once the war in Shuiquan City becomes urgent, they can ask him for help at any time, and he will mobilize this guard regiment to provide support.

After reading Li Yunlong's telegram, Yang Yuanshan had an idea in his mind. He immediately stood in front of the map and started looking at it.

……

Not long after, Han Yang and several battalion commanders arrived one after another.

When everyone saw Yang Yuanshan’s serious expression, they all knew that this must be the result of some movement from the Japanese devils.

No one spoke at that moment, and the room fell into an eerie silence for a moment.

Fortunately, Wei Dayong, who arrived last, broke the atmosphere and shouted as soon as he came in:

"Captain, are the Japanese coming?

What is the mission of our special operations company? "

After being interrupted by Wei Dayong, the atmosphere in the room finally relaxed.

Han Yang turned around and counted the number of people, then said to Yang Yuanshan who was still staring at the map:
"Captain, everyone is here."

Yang Yuanshan finally came to his senses and didn't bother with them. He got straight to the point:
"The Japanese troops are coming from the north and south.

It will take at most a few hours to reach Damai Valley and Guhe Village, and finally meet up at Shuiquan City."

Hearing the news, everyone looked calm.

They had already guessed this.

"Captain, please arrange the mission. How do we fight?"

He Yunfu spoke.

“The specific method of fighting has been roughly arranged with you before, you can decide for yourself.

My only request is to minimize our own losses and kill the Japanese's effective forces.

We should use firepower to cover wherever we can. We should use our bullets and artillery shells to teach the Japanese a lesson!
Understand? "

Yang Yuanshan is not a person who changes his mind every day. After Li Yunlong adjusted the deployment, he had already discussed the specific battle arrangements with everyone. There was no need to go into details now.

"understand!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

“高远志，小鬼子从大麦谷来了约莫20门38式75毫米野炮，从古河村来了约莫30门75毫米山炮。

Your artillery battalion has a heavy mission!

You need to destroy these field artillery first, and then destroy these mountain artillery. During the artillery battle, give priority to saving the artillery.

The artillery is damaged, I will find a way to replenish it for you, understand?"

Yang Yuanshan knew that the success or failure of this battle depended on whether the artillery battalion could withstand the two artillery regiments of the Japanese.

As long as the Japanese lost these two artillery regiments, they would tremble under the all-round attack of the special forces regiment's mountain artillery, anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, infantry guns and tanks.

So I specifically reminded Gao Yuanzhi.

"Yes!"

Gao Yuanzhi felt a lot of pressure as he had to use only one artillery battalion to fight against two artillery regiments of the Japanese.

Although it sounds like just two understaffed regiments, those 50-plus guns are more than what we have!

……

After briefly explaining the situation to the battalion commanders, Yang Yuanshan ordered them to go back and prepare.

And he instructed: Once the Japanese soldiers arrive, tell them to open fire without asking for instructions!
……

Soon, all the soldiers of the special forces regiment were mobilized and took their positions under the command of the battalion and company commanders.

They began to wait silently on the position for the arrival of the Japanese.

……

And just outside Shuiquan City, when the war clouds were gathering, in Jinyang City.

Kazuo Shinozuka gathered a large force of two divisions and prepared to board an armored train to Qubei County.

They were going to bypass Qubei County and take the engineering corps with them to repair the Zhengtai Railway while sweeping westward.

Before leaving, Shinozuka Kazuo said to Iwamatsu Kazuo who came to see him off:

"Yansong Jun, the defense of Jinyang City and the logistical support of my army are now in your hands!"

"Hey! Commander, rest assured, I will do my best!"

Iwamatsu Kazuo looked loyal.

But Shinozuka Kazuo didn't believe his statement at all, and continued to knock:
“Lord Yansong, the great cause of our locust army depends on this one move.

The future of our First Army also depends on this!
Please encourage each other! "

His hawk-like eyes stared at Iwamatsu Kazuo, as if trying to see what was in his heart.

Iwamatsu Kazuo felt very disgusted, but he still nodded:
"Don't worry, Commander. I will keep it in mind!"

After beating up this guy who was clearly coveting his position, Kazuo Shinozuka let out a long sigh and walked towards the armored train.

He knew that if he failed, he would die!

Either a great victory would allow him to regain his position as commander of the First Army.

Or they would suffer a defeat and transfer themselves to the reserve, thus ending their military career.

If Yang Yuanshan knew what this guy was thinking, he would probably sneer on the spot: Want to transfer to the reserve? Have you asked me?

Since you, an old devil, dare to come to Jin, then you'd better leave your life here. I'm still waiting to collect your saber!
……

Iwamatsu Kazuo looked at Shinozuka Kazuo's back and thought to himself: Now this Jinyang City is mine. As expected, the sky seems to have become a lot brighter.

As soon as Kazuo Shinozuka's armored train started, he immediately turned back to the First Army Headquarters and reported to Ji Ning Okamura in the capital about Kazuo Shinozuka leading his troops to the battle.

Naturally, Okamura Jining was very satisfied with his proactive attitude of approaching him.

Call back immediately to express your appreciation.

When Kazuo Iwamatsu saw that Ji Ning Okamura admired him so much, he immediately felt relieved.

They immediately began to clean up all the personnel in the First Army Headquarters in a drastic manner.

Once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out.

He, Kazuo Iwamatsu, is the one who is going to take over as the commander of the First Army. It is reasonable for him to adjust the job position of the person who actively approaches him, right?
