I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 745: Sick mules and horses need to be dealt with!

On the Shibangou battlefield.

Yang Yuanshan briefly interrogated Zhong Yunhe for a few sentences. After understanding the general situation of the enemy, he had Zhong Yunhe taken away for careful interrogation and further investigation to see if he could get more information.

Then he ordered Wang Quanfa to transport all the food seized by the tank company to the east of Shibangou and temporarily store it in a cave.

A regiment of Japanese soldiers is on the way, and there is no time to count them carefully, so we can only hide first.

But in the end, he did not forget to tell Wang Quanfa:

“Quanfa, remember to arrange for someone to check these mules and horses.

If there are injuries or illnesses, they should be dealt with.”

When Wang Quanfa heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

I thought to myself: Captain, this is a really good excuse you found!
If I hadn't followed you for such a long time, I would have almost thought that you were not just greedy!
He quickly said:
"Captain, time is of the essence now. Even if we handle it, I'm afraid there's no way we can get the soldiers to drink the broth in time!
Or should we wait until the war is over?"

"Why are you so stupid, kid?

If the mules and horses get sick, won’t they infect each other?
Not to mention delaying for half a day or a whole day, even delaying for five or ten minutes may cause those originally healthy mules and horses to become sick!
As for your question about not having time to cook the broth, couldn't you just light a fire, roast a big piece of meat for him, and then give each class a piece?

The conditions are limited, so don't be too picky! "

Yang Yuanshan pointed out this with great sorrow.

"But--"

Wang Quanfa was still a little hesitant.

"It's nothing!

The soldiers have run such a long way, their physical strength is almost exhausted, and they are in urgent need of replenishment! "

Yang Yuanshan's attitude was very firm.

After hearing what he said, Wang Quanfa could only nod and immediately get busy with these things.

……

In the following period of time, the soldiers of the special forces regiment were all busy.

The person who was supervising the Japanese devils cleaning up the battlefield held a gun and was careful and alert.

The interrogation of the Japanese prisoners was intensified.

It was a lively scene.

Of course, Yang Yuanshan did not forget to arrange for scouts to go forward for reconnaissance to prevent the Japanese soldiers from that regiment from suddenly arriving and launching a surprise attack on them.

……

When the battle was not yet over, Yang Yuanshan sent someone to notify Guo Youqing, Lu Wenyi and Gao Yuanzhi, asking them to come over immediately with artillery.

At this moment, Guo Youqing arrived first and reported to him:

"Captain, we are here!"

Yang Yuanshan nodded and took him up the hillside to look at the terrain to the west.

With some consideration, he asked:

"Youqing, before dark today, we have to destroy another regiment of the Japanese.

What do you think about the deployment of your 2nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion?"

Guo Youqing had long guessed that the other party called him over because there must be more fighting to do.

Now that I heard the exact news, I was immediately delighted.

He was just about to blurt out - let Yang Yuanshan arrange it and he will be responsible for the execution.

But when the words came to his lips, he restrained himself and thought about the deeper meaning of the other party's question.

Then he picked up the telescope and carefully observed the terrain in front of him.

Then he pointed to a fork in the mountain road that connected to the Zhengtai Road at the bottom of the hill:
“Commander, our battalion’s machine guns are relatively light.

I think our battalion can hide in the valley far away, and when the Japanese are blocked by the main force on the road and engage in a firefight, we will rush out from that fork in the road, advance from west to east, and block the Japanese's escape route."

He thought that with Yang Yuanshan's appetite, he must want to fight a war of annihilation rather than a war of crushing victory.

So this idea came up.

However, when Yang Yuanshan heard his words, he did not nod immediately, but asked solemnly:
"Can the soldiers in your camp still run?

The fork in the road you mentioned must be at least three kilometers away from here, right?

In addition, you have to find a hidden valley, and you will have to carry the artillery and shells over the mountains and hills for at least four or five kilometers."

If the warriors were in their prime, Yang Yuanshan would not ask this question.

But now, everyone was exhausted to the limit, so he had to confirm it.

Although Guo Youqing's idea was good, if they could not reach the designated location by the time the Japanese arrived, the firepower of the twenty or so machine guns would be wasted.

It would be better to just sit here and wait for something to happen.

Of course, Guo Youqing also understood the difficulty of this plan.

He thought about it for a moment, then patted his chest firmly and promised:

"Don't worry, Commander. We, the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, will complete the mission even if we die running!"

Yang Yuanshan was moved by Guo Youqing's resolute eyes.

He knew in his heart that the reason why our army has grown from weak to strong is because there are thousands and thousands of ordinary soldiers like Guo Youqing who are not afraid of sacrifice or difficulties!
He immediately reached out and patted his shoulder, nodded and said:

"Okay! Let's do it!

Take your people now and go here in a detour.

You must hide well and don't let the Japanese scouts find you."

"understand!"

Guo Youqing agreed, immediately went down the mountain to call his men, and began to march westward.

……

After the 12nd Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion left, Lv Wenyi's artillery company also came here with their Type infantry guns. After Yang Yuanshan and Ding Wei discussed it, they asked them to set up these guns on the hillside north of Shibangou.

Directly facing the artillery position of the New 1st Regiment.

On the one hand, it was to use artillery fire to attack the Japanese from the north and south, and on the other hand, it was to make full use of the strength of the New 1st Regiment and provide sufficient protection for the artillery.

……

About half an hour later, Gao Yuanzhi brought the soldiers of the artillery battalion and their ten 75mm mountain cannons to Shibangou.

The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment on the hillside were all envious when they saw the batches of artillery fire from the Special Forces Regiment.

Everyone is wondering: They are also regimental-level units, why is their artillery power so powerful?

Ding Wei also said to Political Commissar Zhong Zhicheng sourly:

"If our regiment had their artillery strength, there would definitely not be such heavy casualties in this battle just now."

Zhong Zhicheng nodded repeatedly:
"Yeah, looking at their posture, they can directly crush an entire regiment of the Japanese!

Back then, I really didn’t realize that Yang Yuanshan was so capable!
I don’t know what their superiors think of their group.

It's too weird that a regiment is equipped with so many artillery pieces!"

"Hey, what do you think?
Don’t you, Old Zhong, know that the leader said they are the best group in the world? "

Ding Wei felt so sour as if he had eaten 10 lemons.

"Hahaha, right, right!

The leaders already knew how powerful they were.

It’s really enviable.”

Zhong Zhicheng laughed.

……

After Gao Yuanzhi arrived, he immediately ran to report to Yang Yuanshan:
"Commander, our battalion is now out of artillery shells.

After all the hard work of dragging these ten mountain cannons here, they are just decorations.

If the Japanese rushed over and blew it up, I would be heartbroken."

"It's okay. I just heard from the soldiers that they have captured another batch of mountain artillery and shells. I promise not to let your artillery battalion sit idle."

Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly.

Then he asked someone to call Wang Ye, who was busy running around, over.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

Wang Ye's forehead was covered in sweat and his face was covered in mud.

You can tell at a glance that he is very tired.

"I heard from my comrades that they had captured mountain artillery and shells, right?"

"Yes, the soldiers seized 20 brand new 75mm mountain cannons and a large number of various shells in the valley over there."

Wang Ye replied.

"What? 20 mountain cannons?
Lao Wang, are you kidding me?"

Gao Yuanzhi widened his eyes.

He couldn't believe that his artillery battalion could be restored to its full state with 30 mountain cannons so easily.

"How can I joke about something like this?"

Wang Ye rolled his eyes at him, then muttered:
"I don't know why the Japanese didn't use these artillery to fight us. It's really strange.

It was as if they were the transport captains, delivering artillery to us."

Wang Ye's dark face was full of question marks. He couldn't understand why such a strange thing happened.

He guessed that the Japanese officers were not fools!

Yang Yuanshan was secretly happy in his heart, but he said:

“What’s so strange about this?

We normal people simply cannot understand the Japanese devils' thought process.

Hurry up and hand over all the artillery to Gao Yuanzhi, and distribute the shells to the various troops."

"Yes!"

Wang Ye agreed and took his people to get to work.

Yang Yuanshan saw that Gao Yuanzhi still had a lot of shock on his face, and did not give him enough time to digest it, and immediately arranged:
"Yuanzhi, once you receive the artillery, immediately choose a suitable artillery position to set up the guns.

Another regiment of the Japanese will arrive soon, and by then, your artillery battalion will have to play its role."

"Yes!"

With the replenishment of artillery and artillery shells, Gao Yuanzhi was eager for the Japanese to arrive quickly, and immediately shouted for orders.

"Your mountain artillery has a long range, so you should try to set up your position outside the range of the Japanese infantry artillery.

In this way, once the war breaks out, they will have no choice but to passively take the beating after you have destroyed their few mountain cannons.

You can also help gunners who are not proficient in artillery to improve their artillery skills and prepare for future battles.

The Japs in this regiment are nothing.

There are at least two mountain artillery regiments in the large Japanese army behind you. That is the severe test you will face."

Yang Yuanshan reminded.

After hearing what he said, Gao Yuanzhi's face became very serious.

Nodded slowly:
"understand!"
