I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 762: What's wrong with more than people? Isn't a division also a regiment?
After sending infantry into the mountains to strangle the Japanese reconnaissance troops, Yang Yuanshan did not let the soldiers stop, but continued to move forward.

Pretending to be defenseless.

After walking a few kilometers forward, he heard gunshots coming from the surrounding mountains.

At the beginning, it was still the Type 38 rifle, "Snap! Snap!"

Then came the "sizzling" sound of the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun.

Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly, as if he had already seen the miserable appearance of the little devil soldiers falling one after another.

……

About an hour later, the soldiers from the Third Battalion and the Guard Battalion emerged from the forest. Everyone looked excited and carried a lot of trophies.

Seeing this, Yang Yuanshan ordered the main force to stop and asked Wang Ye and Wang Quanfa to gather the soldiers.

Half an hour later, the two reported:
"Commander, the soldiers have killed 813 Japanese soldiers!

The others all ran away into the woods.

You told the soldiers not to chase too far, and they chased for a few hilltops but didn’t catch up with many people, so they retreated.”

"Not bad, not bad. We killed almost another battalion of Japanese soldiers! Great!"

Yang Yuanshan said excitedly.

It's only been an hour, and we've killed so many Japanese devils. It feels so good.

If the Japanese continue to cooperate like this, their two divisions will be destroyed within 10 days or half a month.

But after the excitement, he calmed down and asked again:

"What about our casualties?"

Only talking about the results without talking about the cost is just being a hooligan.

Hearing this question, Wang Ye and Wang Quanfa both looked a little unhappy. In the end, it was Wang Quanfa who stood up and answered:
“The Japs’ shooting skills are very accurate, although their firepower is obviously inferior to ours.

But we still lost 147 lives and 235 people were seriously injured.

Our ratio of new recruits is still a bit high."

"Goodness! These bastards are really hard to deal with."

Yang Yuanshan cursed angrily.

Although the ratio of enemy and our casualties reached more than 1:2, he was not satisfied.

According to the old saying: "One Han can defeat five Barbarians."

Now that the Special Forces Regiment is dealing with the Japanese, it is reasonable to require this casualty ratio, right?

However, he also knew that after repeated fierce battles, although the total number of people in the special forces regiment had increased, the overall combat effectiveness had actually declined due to the continuous replenishment of new recruits.

In a positional battle, everyone fires from a distance, so this shortcoming is not easily exposed.

Now that we have entered the mountains and forests and are fighting the Japanese in close combat, this weakness is fully demonstrated.

We cannot blame the comrades below for this matter.

So when he saw Wang Ye and Wang Quanfa's unhappy faces, he immediately changed the subject:

"Send someone to take the wounded to the field hospital, and the rest of you return to the team immediately.

Send some officers to recruit new soldiers who have not been assigned specific tasks before, and fill up the quota."

"Yes!"

……

This battle did not affect the advance of the main force.

Before dark, Yang Yuanshan finally arrived at Taipingzhuang with a large army.

The terrain here is wide, with steep mountains on the south side of the road and relatively gentle slopes on the north side.

There are several small villages in the flat areas between the hillsides.

Now the people in these villages have already evacuated to the mountains under the persuasion of the militia.

But at this moment, the village is full of people again.

These people were all wearing gray military uniforms, and you could tell at a glance that they were soldiers of our army.

At this time, the sentry they had stationed at a commanding height outside the village hurried into the village and shouted to a man who looked like an official:
"Deputy Captain Zhan, a large group of people are coming from the east, all wearing gray military uniforms. They look like the captain and his men.

But the strange thing is that there are still many iron turtles ahead of their team!"

It turned out that this unit was the battalion led by Zhan Haishan, deputy commander of the special forces regiment.

They came from Zhengjiagou Village in the north and arrived here more than two hours ago, so they just happened to enter the village to rest.

Upon hearing the sentry's report, Zhan Haishan immediately called Deputy Battalion Commander Xu Wei, Political Instructor Zhao Shihong and others to go out to greet them.

……

After a while, they came to the road outside the village and looked towards the east.

I saw billowing smoke and dust coming towards me, and leading the way were several huge steel monsters!

Everyone's pupils shrank, and Zhan Haishan couldn't help but screamed:

“This looks like a tank?

The regiment commander always said he wanted to get a tank, did he really get one?"

Of course no one could answer his question.

Xu Wei and others were completely confused!
But soon, the large force from the east arrived in front of them.

Zhan Haishan immediately ran over with his men and shouted from a distance:
"Captain! Commander!"

There are already people settling in the Taipingzhuang area, and the scouts have just reported this to Yang Yuanshan.

Moreover, when Zhan Haishan and others came out of the village, he had already recognized them with a telescope.

So at this moment, he also walked out of the team with Wang Quanfa and Wang Ye, and responded to Zhan Haishan: "Haishan, you are here!

We have been separated for so long, are all the comrades okay? "

“We just arrived two hours ago.

The comrades are all very good.”

Zhan Haishan answered excitedly.

……

After everyone exchanged greetings enthusiastically, Zhan Haishan pointed at the eight tanks and asked:

"Captain, this is a tank, right? Is it ours?"

"Haha, yes, it's our tank!"

Yang Yuanshan replied with a smile.

"That's great!
Where did it come from?

This big guy is far more powerful than the Japanese's tiny tanks!

Not only tank guns, but also so many heavy machine guns!

Oh my god, it’s scary to look at!”

Zhan Haishan was so curious that he almost jumped up with excitement.

"Hey, I picked it up."

Yang Yuanshan responded casually.

"What?

Can you pick up this thing?

And you want to pick up eight at a time?"

Zhan Haishan's face was full of doubts about life.

I couldn't help but look back and exchange glances with Xu Wei, Zhao Shihong and others.

Then he found that everyone was conveying the same message with their eyes -

The captain is treating us like fools!

……

Yang Yuanshan ignored their questions and took Zhan Haishan to meet Ding Wei and Su Zhen.

Only then did Zhan Haishan realize that the large army of more than 10,000 people in front of him actually consisted of three regiments.

However, seeing such a large force, he also felt his blood boiling.

He had a premonition that the next battle might be the most boastful one in his military career.

……

After a brief introduction between everyone, Yang Yuanshan ordered the troops to disperse to nearby areas and find places to camp.

Yang Yuanshan himself followed Zhan Haishan to his temporary command post.

On the way, he asked Zhan Haishan about his experiences during this period.

Although the other party had previously reported the general situation via telegram, it was only an outline without any details.

Now he wanted to know more details.

Seeing that he wanted to listen, Zhan Haishan reported the situation after the division of troops in detail, without any detail.

Then I asked curiously:
"Captain, where are Chief of Staff Han and the others? Could it be that they are all..."

"Haha, you think too much.

Han Yang is still at Shuiquan with three battalions."

Yang Yuanshan understood his concerns and quickly explained.

"What? Three battalions?
I see that our troops just now have quite a lot of people!

How come there are still three battalions outside?"

Zhan Haishan asked in surprise.

"Hehe, now our entire special forces regiment has 5 main infantry battalions, 3 artillery battalions, and 1 guard battalion!
Not to mention the tank company, the logistics battalion, the special operations company, etc. that are not included.”

Yang Yuanshan said proudly.

"What? Five main infantry battalions and three artillery battalions?

Are there 1500 people in total? "

Zhan Haishan's mouth opened wide.

"Hehe, not bad!"

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

"Then doesn't our entire group have more than 1 people?"

Zhan Haishan felt that his brain capacity was a little insufficient. Is this still a group?
“Hey, what’s wrong with more than 1 people?
Isn’t the Japanese’s division also a regiment?

There are still more than 2 people there!"

Yang Yuanshan uttered a very explosive statement.

"Captain, then...are the division and the regiment...the same thing?"

Zhan Haishan felt very speechless and couldn't even speak clearly.

I thought to myself: How would Captain Cheng of the 772nd Regiment feel if he knew that the core regiment he was in had more than people?
How would he feel if he saw those eight tanks again?
Will you regret not asking your superiors to come to this special forces regiment as deputy commander yourself?
Hiss... This seems to be so cool just thinking about it!
