I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 710: Who else can we rely on besides the Special Forces?
Following Tanaka Kyuichi's order, the Japanese 83rd Regiment marched out of Koga Village.

When Colonel Keita Kaneda, commander of the 83rd Regiment, saw the situation on the battlefield, he urged his artillery squadron to rush south with the Type infantry gun.

Prepare to work with the artillery squadron of the 82nd Regiment to eliminate the artillery company of the rd Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

When Wang Quanfa saw thousands of Japanese soldiers rushing out again, he immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a message to Yang Yuanshan and ordered the artillery company to retreat immediately.

Artillery company commander Lu Wenyi was currently commanding his soldiers to engage in a firefight with the Japanese infantry artillery. Hearing this order, he couldn't help but feel unhappy.

But he knew that military orders could not be disobeyed, so he still shouted the order:

"Comrades, the battalion commander has ordered us to retreat to Shuiquan City immediately! Quick!"

Then he rushed over to ask Wang Quanfa:
"Captain, why are you asking us to retreat?"

"Because the Japs have brought another batch of artillery.

If you keep fighting, you won't gain any advantage!"

Wang Quanfa put down the telescope in his hand and pointed in the direction of Guhe Village with his only hand.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenyi picked up the telescope around his neck and took a look. He saw that there were indeed a lot of Type 92 infantry guns coming behind the large Japanese army. He couldn't help but sigh.

Curse:
"Those damn Japanese have a lot of guns!"

During the recent bombardment with the Japanese artillery, he had discovered that his artillerymen were indeed inferior to the enemy in terms of artillery skills.

Now the enemy has more artillery fire. If we continue fighting, it will be just like what Wang Quanfa said, and we will only suffer losses.

However, although he realized this situation, he still wanted to struggle. He couldn't help but look up in the direction of Queen Mother Mountain and asked:
"Captain, can't the mountain artillery in the artillery battalion provide us with support?"

"Just now, Lao Gao and his men were engaged in a fierce battle with the Japanese, and the casualties were probably not small.

We can’t count on that.”

"Okay! I'll lead the soldiers to retreat immediately!"

……

On the north wall of Shuiquan City, Yang Yuanshan and Han Yang were listening carefully to the sound of artillery coming from the south.

The earth-shaking sound of the mountain artillery bombardment could be clearly heard in their ears.

After a while, the gunfire finally stopped.

Han Yang immediately spoke:
"Captain, the artillery fire has stopped. It seems that Lao Gao and his men have dealt with the Japanese artillery regiment."

"It seems so.

I hope they don’t both lose!”

Yang Yuanshan sighed.

The limited artillery we have is quite miserable, as it is constantly being consumed.

"How about sending a telegram to ask?"

Han Yang suggested.

"Need not.

Yuanzhi, Quanfa and Shuanglin are all over there, they should be able to generate electricity soon."

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand.

……

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the telegraph operator came hurriedly and reported to Yang Yuanshan:
"Commander, telegram from the Artillery Battalion and the Third Battalion."

Yang Yuanshan took the two telegrams, read them quickly, and immediately gave the order:
"Immediately order the artillery battalion, the first anti-aircraft battalion, and the third infantry battalion to withdraw to Shuiquan.

During the retreat, we will be covered by the infantry of the third battalion!

If the Japanese are chasing us closely, we can ask for men instead of artillery!!!"

"Yes!"

Watching the telegraph operator hurried away, Han Yang couldn't help but ask Yang Yuanshan suspiciously:

"Captain, what happened?"

"Gao Yuanzhi's artillery battalion should have destroyed the Japanese mountain artillery regiment.

However, they also suffered 10% casualties, and there were only mountain cannons left, and the gun barrels were all red. They had been pouring water to cool them down, and the shells had almost been used up.

On Feng Shuanglin's side, the Japanese also destroyed a lot of anti-aircraft guns, and now there are only 25 guns left.

As for the Japanese, two regiments of troops are now rushing out of Guhe Village, charging fearlessly. Wang Quanfa only has one battalion, and the troops are insufficient and difficult to deal with. "

Yang Yuanshan explained it clearly in a few words.

"Are we just going to give up the commanding heights of Wangmu Mountain to the Japanese?

Isn’t that a pity?
How about asking Lao Wang to send a company to defend it?
And form a corner with our troops on the city wall?

Give them a few more heavy machine guns, and the Japanese will not be able to capture the city in a short time even if a battalion of them sieges them."

There was a hint of reluctance on Han Yang's face.

Giving up the commanding heights outside the city is almost like giving up the initiative on the battlefield. From the perspective of military command, such behavior is obviously very stupid.

“Haha, no need.

Now that the Japs have lost their mountain artillery, they are now a piece of meat on our chopping board.

We just need to deal with them bit by bit.

Moreover, we are not just going to give up Queen Mother Mountain?

According to the instructions from our superiors, this Shuiquan City will soon be ceded to the Japanese!"

Yang Yuanshan laughed.

Then add a sentence:
"As long as we can eliminate the Japanese troops bit by bit, we will be able to take back the cities and commanding heights that have been ceded to us sooner or later."

Seeing him say this, Han Yang could only nod.

Then he remembered something and said quickly, "Captain, we have to send a telegram to our superiors and the independent regiment.

Look, the people from the independent regiment are still fighting on Gaojia Ridge!"

"We need to inform them so that they don't insist on it."

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Then he called the telegraph operator and asked him to send the message.

……

Dazhai Mountain.

In Li Yunlong's command center, he was overjoyed after receiving Yang Yuanshan's telegram.

He said to Zhao Gang who just came in from outside with a beaming face:

"Old Zhao, I knew that Yang Yuanshan could do it!
He wiped out the two artillery regiments of the Japanese.

Now, these sons of bitches can’t use their heavy artillery to bully us.”

"That's great.

Two artillery regiments, this is a great achievement!

I must send a telegram to Brigade Headquarters immediately.

I guess the leaders are worried about us now!"

Zhao Gang was also very surprised.

Although he agreed to Li Yunlong's decision to fight such a big war, he was still worried in his heart.

Now that the battle situation seemed to be going surprisingly smoothly, he was of course relieved.

"Well, send a telegram to Old Xing as well, asking him to withdraw Wang Huaibao's Third Battalion from Gaojiazhai."

Li Yunlong made further arrangements.

"What? Withdraw Wang Huaibao's Third Battalion?
Wouldn’t the Japanese take advantage of the situation to occupy Gaojiazhai?
By then, the Special Forces Regiment's troops in the north of Shuiquan City will face pressure, right?"

Zhao Gang looked very surprised.

"Yang Yuanshan has already given Wangmu Mountain to the Japanese.

It is no longer worthwhile to continue holding on to Gaojiazhai.

Anyway, we have already consumed a lot of the Japanese soldiers, and we don't have much time left. It would be more cost-effective to shrink the defense immediately and use Shuiquan City to consume another batch of Japanese soldiers!"

Li Yunlong once again looked like "No one is better than me in settling accounts."

"Okay. I'll be right there!"

……

North of Shuiquan City.

Gaojiazhai position.

Wang Huaibao was in a state of panic.

A regiment of the Japanese launched an attack on his position. Although the soldiers of his third battalion hid in trenches and fortifications to fight back, they still suffered heavy losses.

——After all, the light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers they are equipped with are much less than those of the special forces regiment.

The only four Type 92 infantry guns were completely destroyed by the crazy bombing of the Japanese artillery.

Even the artillery company commander Luo Shan was injured.

If it weren't for the critical moment when the artillery companies of the 2nd and 4th Battalions of the Special Service Regiment came to the rescue and fired several rounds of volleys at the Japanese, which blew them to pieces, their position would have been lost long ago.

But after suffering a loss, the Japanese cleverly directed their main attack to the east of Gaojiazhai, avoiding the artillery fire of the Special Forces Regiment.

As a result, the Third Battalion of the Independent Regiment could only rely on its own strength to defend itself.

Faced with the Japanese's tricky shooting skills, the casualties were naturally heavy.

Seeing that the Japanese had rushed to within 100 meters of the Gaojiazhai position, the company commander Yu Qingming could not help but rush over to Wang Huaibao and said:

"What should we do, Battalion Commander? We can't hold on any longer."

"We have to defend it even if we can't!
As long as the team leader doesn’t call us to withdraw!
Our entire battalion will die on the battlefield!"

Wang Huaibao was firm.

"Captain, this will wipe out our third battalion."

Yu Qingming's face was filled with heartache.

All the soldiers under his command were trained by him one by one!

“Even if we beat the last man, we must defend!

It is obvious that the Japanese are getting anxious now, so we can only hold on.

I believe that Commander Yang of the Special Forces Regiment will definitely not sit idly by and watch our Third Battalion be wiped out."

As Wang Huaibao spoke, he looked towards the position of the Special Forces Regiment, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Special agents?

Didn’t they just support us with artillery fire?
Now that the Japs have avoided the range of their artillery, what else can they do?
Moreover, the Japanese have at least sent out a regiment to attack their positions!"

Yu Qingming had no confidence at all.

“I don’t know what arrangements Captain Yang will make, but I trust them.

They’ve never lost a battle.”

In fact, there was one thing Wang Huaibao didn't say, which was: In the current situation, who else can we rely on except the Special Forces Regiment?
The other troops of the independent regiment all have their own defensive tasks. How could they have any spare energy to support themselves?
