I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 726 Let them get as many guns as they have!
Kaneda Keita's telegram directly shattered the plan that the two leaders of the 35th Division had just discussed.

Harada Yuji felt a chill on his back and was so angry that stars appeared in his eyes.

I couldn't help but roared angrily to the sky.

In the end, I had to sit down and think of a new solution with Shirataki Rijiro.

After discussing for a long time, they considered that Shuiquan City was not far from Ping'an County, and it would not be difficult to send an elite brigade from Shuiquan City to Ping'an County to pick up the 83rd Regiment.

Harada Yuji felt that Kaneda Keita must have lied about military intelligence, as it was impossible for the Eighth Route Army to have a main force of a division!
So it was decided to send troops out.

After all, the 35th Division is currently too short of manpower. If they don't rescue Keita Kaneda, it will be difficult for them to defend Shuiquan City with the few people left.

The plan was set, and Harada Yuji didn't waste any time and immediately asked Shiraki Rijiro to make the arrangements.

Soon, a brigade of elite soldiers, fully armed, rushed towards Ping'an County.

……

At the same time, their distress telegram was also sent to the Japanese front headquarters in the capital.

When Okamura Jining saw the telegram saying that they were in imminent danger, he was naturally furious and wished he could kill the idiot Harada Yuji immediately.

But at the moment, he was out of reach and could only ask Tanabe Seigo to send a telegram to Shinozuka Kazuo, asking him to send a brigade, or at least a regiment, to transport some food to the 35th Division to rescue it.

After all, he couldn't really watch the remnants of the 35th Division starve to death in Shuiquan City.

However, he had already secretly decided in his heart that after this battle, he would send Harada Yuji to the reserve.

……

Kazuo Shinozuka was very unhappy when he received repeated telegrams from Ji Ning Okamura, asking him to support Yuji Harada.

I thought to myself: Could you please stop giving orders blindly from the rear?
If I don't repair the Zhengtai Railway, and my transportation line is cut off by the Eighth Route Army, wouldn't I be doomed?

However, no matter how dissatisfied he was with the other party, he was still prepared to obey orders.

After all, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death!

Moreover, in the past few days, he had been sweeping nearby villages along the Zhengtai Railway and had indeed looted a lot of food.

It’s not too difficult to send someone to deliver some to Harada Yuji.

After careful consideration, he ordered: Colonel Masashi Takagi, commander of the 36rd Regiment of the 223th Division, to lead his regiment, together with the six or seven thousand people of the 1st Independent Division of the Locust Association Army, to form an army of more than ten thousand, escorting the food prepared to support the 35th Division, and advance rapidly.

He thought, this army of tens of thousands would not be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, right?
——If there are really some ignorant guerrillas, they will definitely be able to hold out until their reinforcements arrive.

Of course, he did not forget to call Okamura Ji-ning back as a sign of respect.

Okamura Ji Ning, who was in the capital, received his reply. He could not help but smile when he saw that this guy did not cause any trouble this time, but honestly sent people to deliver food to Shuiquan.

I was secretly thinking in my heart: When I ask Kazuo Shinozuka to leave, I should at least give him some face and let him retire due to illness.

……

Outside Qianniu Town.

Han Yang brought people into the town to do the work, and soon brought a large number of young and strong people to help.

After he assigned these people the task of cleaning the battlefield, he brought a middle-aged man and walked up to Yang Yuanshan.

The man was short and stocky, with a sturdy face. He carried a shiny old socket on his shoulder, and it was obvious that he took great care of it.

Han Yang introduced him:

"Captain, this is Zhong Da'an, the captain of the Qianniu Town militia. When we were fighting the Japanese just now, they were ready to come out to help.

But seeing that we were fighting fiercely and had the upper hand, he didn't take any action.

Just now, it was thanks to Captain Zhong’s help that I was able to organize so many villagers to clean up the battlefield.

In addition, Captain Zhong also helped us greet the aunts and grannies in the town, and they were cooking.

We should be able to have hot meals soon.

Captain Zhong, this is our special forces commander Yang Yuanshan. "

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanshan immediately saluted Zhong Daan and thanked him:

"Captain Zhong, thank you for your help."

"Captain Yang, you are too polite. It is our duty to help the main force with a little work.

We just heard the intense gunfire here, and were ready to come out to help, but we only had a few bullets, and seeing you guys beat the shit out of the Japs, we were afraid to come up and cause trouble for you, so..."

Zhong Da'an blushed as he spoke, as if he was afraid that the young captain would laugh at him for being cowardly and afraid of fighting.

Yang Yuanshan certainly didn't need the help of these militiamen, so he waved his hand:
"Fighting is the job of our main force. You militia just need to train more and protect the people."

As he said this, he was afraid that Zhong Daan would be embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject and asked:

"Captain Zhong, how many people are there in your militia?"

Hearing this, Zhong Daan couldn't help but tighten his hands and said with a wry smile:
"There are only eighteen of us."

"What? Only these few people?

I see there are quite a lot of people in Qianniu Town?

Is it that some wealthy landlords don't allow you to develop a militia?

Then I'll send someone to help you deal with these guys?"

Yang Yuanshan became anxious on the spot.

The militia is the solid foundation of our military base and the main source of our military reserve troops.

If the militia cannot develop, doesn't that mean that when his special forces regiment comes back to recruit soldiers, there will be no soldiers to recruit?
How is this possible?

"Captain Yang, you misunderstood.

The landlords in our Qianniu Town were wiped out by our comrades in the army several years ago. Now our militia is small because with so few people, there are not enough guns for three people, not to mention bullets.

It's useless to recruit people but have no tools to use them!"

Zhong Daan explained with a sad face.

When he heard that it was a problem with the gun, Yang Yuanshan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He said proudly:

"So that's the problem, I'll help you solve it.

Later, your militia must vigorously expand its army, recruit more militiamen, and strengthen training. "

"What? You help me solve it?
Could it be——"

Zhong Daan's face showed some excitement and nervousness.

"That's right. If we want to expand our main force in the future, we will definitely recruit people from your militia.

It won’t work if you can’t even shoot a gun!
Since we have met today, I must support you with a batch of firearms."

Yang Yuanshan answered naturally.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Daan shouted excitedly:
"Thank you very much, Captain Yang!
Please give us 10 Hanyang-made boats, or 8 will do.

It would be great if I could have another thirty or fifty rounds of ammunition!"

"Hahaha, our special forces regiment doesn't have the Hanyang-made ones."

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand and smiled.

His words made Zhong Daan feel cold in his heart. He thought he was too happy too early, and asked hesitantly:
"Captain Yang, what do you mean?"

"No one in our regiment uses the Hanyang-made rifle, so of course we can't give you this thing.

But we just wiped out an entire regiment of Japanese devils here.

I estimate that on this battlefield, at least two to three thousand Type 38 rifles and a lot of bullets can be found.

I'll leave them all here with you, you can use as much as you want!

If you can't use all the guns, please help me distribute them to the militias in the villages and towns nearby.

Let them have as many guns as they have!"

Yang Yueshanhao arranged it inhumanely.

"what?
Giving us two or three thousand guns, this… this… this is too much, right?"

Zhong Da'an was shaking and trembling with excitement.

It seems he has never seen so many guns!

It feels like a windfall!

In the past, his biggest dream was to get a Hanyang rifle with rifling!

"Haha, Captain Zhong, our regiment has no use for these weapons.

There will be a mission later, so we can’t march with these things.

So please help keep it safe.

Moreover, they are only stored here temporarily. It doesn’t mean that all of them will be given to your Qianniu Town Militia. You can’t hide them in the warehouse and not take them out!

What I hope is that in the future, our militia in northwestern Shanxi will not be unable to fight the Japanese because of a lack of weapons! "

Yang Yuanshan explained.

Hearing him say this, Zhong Daan nodded excitedly:

"Don't worry, Commander Yang, I, Zhong Da'an, will take good care of these guns and will never waste them.

In addition, next time we encounter the Japanese, our Qianniu Town militia will beat them up severely."

"Okay! That's settled."

Yang Yuanshan patted Zhong Daan on the shoulder.

……

Han Yang and others had no objection to Yang Yuanshan's decision to give all the guns seized on the battlefield to the militia.

However, Wang Quanfa still asked:
"Captain, the soldiers just consumed a lot of ammunition.

Should I add more? "

Yang Yuanshan nodded:
"That's as it should be, you can arrange it yourselves.

There are more battles to come, so we can’t be short of bullets!
In addition, people were also sent to collect light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, artillery and other items.

There is no need to give these things to the militia.

None of them can do it.

But forget about the Type 99 light machine gun, none of us want to use it, it's just right for the militia."

"Yes!"

Wang Quanfa agreed and went downstairs to make arrangements.

……

At this time, Wu Jun, the head of the telecommunications squad, came to report:
"Captain, a telegram from the superiors!"
