I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 715: Great victory, you are still not happy, which side are you on?
The special forces regiment retreated on their own initiative, and the Japanese did not notice anything unusual.

They just thought that the special forces regiment might not have enough bullets.

Morale was immediately boosted, and it felt like achieving great things was just around the corner.

He immediately rushed forward roaring and soon climbed up the wall of Shuiquan City.

Seeing how cooperative they were, the soldiers of the special forces regiment certainly would not be polite. They kept shooting and killed the Japanese soldiers who rushed the fastest.

Yang Yuanshan even estimated that in just the past few hours of fighting, the soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment had killed at least thousands of Japanese devils.

It seemed as if they had wiped out another full-strength battalion of the enemy.

If he didn't want to suffer too great a loss on his side, he even felt that it would be entirely possible to use all the strength of the special forces regiment to wipe out this group of Japanese devils in one fell swoop.

……

Harada Yuji was overjoyed when he saw his men finally climb up the Shuiquan city wall.

He immediately gave a loud order:

"Hurry up!

Report the victory to General Okamura that our 35th Division has occupied Shuiquan!
We are currently clearing out the remaining enemies, and we expect that the local Eighth Route Army in the city will be completely wiped out by tonight.

Restore the rule of our locust army in Water Spring City!"

Chief of Staff Shirataki Rijiro was surprised to see that the siege was going so smoothly, and could not help but remind Harada Yuji:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, be careful!
Judging from the previous battle outside Shuiquan City, the combat effectiveness of the Tubalu is by no means so weak! "

"Shirataki-kun, you are too timid!

This Eighth Route Army soldier must be out of ammunition.

Order the warriors, hurry up and chase them and catch these rats!"

Harada Yuji shouted excitedly.

Although our side suffered heavy losses in today's battle with the Eighth Route Army, it now seems that the result was still good.

At least we captured Shuiquan City before the 21st Division!
So he couldn't help but feel a little more arrogant.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Shirataki Rijiro had no choice but to obey his orders.

Then Harada Yuji called the telegraph operator and ordered:

“Send a telegram to Tanaka-kun, informing him that the north gate has been breached.

Please, warriors of the 21st Division, there is no need to shed blood any more, come here quickly and enter the city!"

"Hi!"

……

On the 21st Division side, Tanaka Kyuichi received a telegram from Harada Yuji and was immediately very depressed.

He watched as his own people were still fearlessly attacking the south gate of Shuiquan City.

Then he was beaten to a pulp by the soldiers of the independent regiment, and screamed in pain.

He could not help but roar:
"Baga! They are all trash!"

He wanted to be tough and continue attacking the city, but when he saw that his troops were seriously insufficient, he had to give up.

Order the soldiers to withdraw and rush to the north of Shuiquan City.

But he didn't know that less than ten minutes after they left, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment at the south gate of Shuiquan City, who were still congratulating themselves for having repelled them, received Xing Zhiguo's order to retreat.

They began to give up the south gate of Shuiquan City and retreat into the city, preparing for street fighting.

……

Beijing.

Okamura Jining's headquarters.

Chief of Staff Seigo Tanabe, who was in charge of the telecommunications room, was naturally very happy when he received the good news from Harada Yuji.

He hurriedly took the telegram to see Okamura Ji Ning:

"Commander, there is good news from Shuiquan City."

"Good news?"

Okamura Ji Ning's face changed drastically, and then he roared:

"idiot!
Didn’t I tell them not to fight recklessly?

Which bastard violated military orders?
Tanaka Jiuyi or Harada Yuji?"

"Commander, what do you mean?" Tanabe Seigo was a little confused.

I thought to myself: The locust army has won a great victory, aren’t you happy?
Which side do you belong to?
Should I smash the cup as a signal to arrest you and send you to a military court?

Okamura Ji Ning did not answer him, but snatched the telegram from his hand, glanced at it, and slapped it on the table:

"Baka! Harada Yuji, you idiot!

He must have fallen into the trap set by the Tubalu!"

“Fell into a trap?
Commander, are you saying that Harada-kun's occupation of Shuiquan City was an intentional attempt by the Tubalu to lure the enemy?"

If Tanabe Seigo still can't react now, then he is not worthy of being the chief of staff.

"good!
Judging from the strength shown by the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi when they inflicted huge losses on my Locust Army several times before, it is impossible for Shuiquan City to be breached in less than a day!
Even if the 21st and 35th divisions attack with all their might, with their bravery and tenacity, they will surely be able to hold out for two to three days!"

I have to say that this old devil Okamura Ji Ning has a very thorough understanding of our army.

I could sense something was wrong even though we were thousands of miles apart.

"Commander, what should we do now?
Send a telegram to order Harada-kun to evacuate Shuiquan City immediately?"

Although Tanabe Seigo did not agree with Okamura Jining's judgment, he knew there was no need to go against the other party.

After all, it’s none of his business whether Harada Yuji lives or dies!
"Do you think that guy will obey our orders and withdraw?
I'm afraid that in his eyes, all he has is the great merit of occupying Shuiquan City!"

Okamura Ji Ning sneered.

He has decided that once this war is over, he will immediately request the headquarters to transfer that bastard Harada Yuji to the reserve!

No one can stop me!!!

Hearing his words, Tanabe Seigo exclaimed in disbelief:
"What? Do you think Harada-kun dares to disobey military orders?"

"Hahaha, Tanabe-kun, are you still unclear about the traditions of my Locust Army?"

Okamura Ji Ning's eyes were full of anger.

When he was just a mid-level officer, he felt it was quite cool to act on his own regardless of the orders from his superiors.

Now that he is the commander of the front, he immediately hates this situation.

He is still him, just in a different position.

When Okamura Jining mentioned the "tradition of the locust army", Tanabe Seigo was speechless.

Among the locust army, cases of disobeying military orders and rebelling against superiors were endless!

It can be called a “tradition”!
He was silent for a moment, and then asked honestly:

“So what should we do now?
If the 35th Division is also wiped out, our Locust Army's already scarce manpower will be even more stretched.

By then, the Tubalu will probably expand rapidly and become even more difficult to deal with!"

"Send a telegram to Shinozuka-kun and order them to speed up!"

Okamura Ji Ning pondered for a moment and then gave the order decisively.

Tanabe Seigo understood that they had neither air force nor army units close to the spring. Apart from sending a telegram to Shinozuka Kazuo to urge him, they really had no other options. He could only nod and agree:
"Hi!"

However, in order to reflect his own value, he added:
"I will also send a message to Harada-kun, reminding them to pay attention to the real movements of the Tubalu troops and avoid falling into their trap!"

……

Outside Shuiquan City.

Harada Yuji was very dissatisfied when he received a telegram from Tanabe Seigo in the name of the front army headquarters.

I thought to myself: I led my men to fight on the front lines and made such a great contribution, but you didn't even say a word of praise or congratulations. Instead, you are reminding me not to fall into your trap. Aren't you looking down on me?
I guess in your eyes, I am just a stupid piece of trash???
It's really fucking ridiculous!
The conscience is very bad!!!

Throwing the telegram aside, he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance. It was the people from the 21st Division rushing over.

Not wanting the other side to see his men still fighting with the enemy on the city wall, which would affect his first achievement in capturing the city, he immediately drew his saber, slashed forward, and shouted loudly:
"Warriors, hurry up, charge over!

Eliminate the Eighth Route Army!
His Majesty the Heavenly Locust is on board——"

After hearing his order, the Japanese soldiers were all energized and rushed forward fearlessly.

Seeing that the Japanese were so crazy and the soldiers were suffering casualties one after another, Yang Yuanshan hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat quickly.

Then he notified Guo Youqing, the second anti-aircraft artillery battalion, who was deploying defenses on the streets of the city and aiming their machine guns at the city gate:
"The Japs are coming in soon, get ready to open fire.

"Each gun will retreat once 10 drums of ammunition are used up!"
