I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 787 Playing a Big Game

The new second regiment arrived, but Yang Yuanshan did not relax. Instead, he became even more nervous.

Because Kong Jie synchronized the information with him, saying that the Japanese might have a brigade of troops rushing to Hedi Village.

Therefore, after he asked Kong Jie to take people to pick up the equipment, he immediately asked Zhan Haishan about the retreat situation of each unit.

Zhan Haishan immediately replied:
"Captain Ding of the New 1st Regiment has already withdrawn.

However, Captain Ding also reported that a large group of Japanese soldiers were in hot pursuit and would soon catch up to Yangping!"

"A team? Great!
The little devils are delivering food to us!"

Yang Yuanshan shouted excitedly.

Then he ordered hastily:
"Have Captain Ding pass Yangping, then turn back and entangle the Japanese.

As long as they can hold out for half an hour, I will have the troops to help and annihilate this battalion!"

"Yes!"

Zhan Haishan agreed immediately and sent someone to deliver the message at full speed.

"How are Zhao Tietou and Guo Youqing doing?"

Yang Yuanshan asked again.

When he asked about these two people, Zhan Haishan couldn't help but look a little unnatural.

He replied angrily:
“Just now when we ordered them to retreat, they actually said that they were only five minutes away from taking the Tiger Ridge Heights, so they were preparing to retreat last to cover other troops.

This is too outrageous!
Commander, I think we need to straighten out the discipline in our group.

Can military orders be bargained like this?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded and said perfunctorily:
"I guess they were really excited about killing. Five minutes or so is not a big deal. Let's criticize them later."

For him, as long as he could kill the Japanese, he would be great.

There is not much difference between retreating immediately and retreating after 5 minutes.

——He believed that Zhao Tietou and Guo Youqing would not be caught by the Japanese.

Seeing him being so perfunctory, Zhan Haishan was speechless.

He knew that Yang Yuanshan would definitely not punish these two guys.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart: The team leader is good in every way, except that he is too kind to his subordinates.

"What's the situation with Xu Wei, Wang Quanfa, and Chu Kun?
Have all the Japanese armored trains been bombed?"

Yang Yuanshan asked again.

Zhan Haishan shook his head:
“No, the Japanese had too many troops. After Chu Kun and his men broke through several of the enemy’s defenses, they could no longer get any closer.

They barely fired two rounds of artillery fire at the Japanese armored train, blowing up a cannon, and then were forced to retreat.

The Japanese also sent a lot of troops to chase them. I have told Xu Wei and his men to wait until the pursuers are some distance away from the main Japanese force, then turn around and kill them. "

"Well, these bastards are really difficult to deal with!

The two main battalions were unable to break in."

Yang Yuanshan cursed.

It was such a pity that we used more than a hundred recoilless guns to bombard the Japanese armored train but failed to hit it.

But he also understood it very well, after all, the enemy occupied all the commanding heights.

If we want to break in, we have to find a commanding height and pull out the nails from the commanding height one by one.

This all takes time, but right now, they don't get that much offensive time.

"What about Wang Ye and the others? Have they been able to meet Captain Su?
If we wipe out the Divisional Guard Regiment, it will be hard to explain to our superiors!"

"There is no news yet. How about I send someone to check the situation?"

Zhan Haishan also frowned.

"Forget it, don't use it for now!
Wait a minute, I believe in Wang Ye."

After the two finished their discussion, they sat in the temporary command center, quietly waiting for news from all sides.

……

Among all the troops on the front line, Zhao Tietou's Fifth Battalion had the most successful progress.

With the support of the fierce artillery fire from the 2nd and 3rd anti-aircraft artillery battalions, they fought desperately to capture the Ehuling Heights.

Zhao Tietou then ordered the soldiers to bury many explosive packs and artillery shells on the position in preparation for retreat.

——The 5 minutes he fought for with Zhan Haishan have now been used up!
Upon hearing that they were about to give up the position they had just captured, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion were naturally very reluctant.

But due to military orders, they could only retreat with resentment.

The Japanese soldiers opposite them retreated just after seeing that they had just occupied the hill.

At first I was also skeptical.

But when they heard intelligence from other sources that the enemy was in full retreat, they immediately thought that they had run out of ammunition.

They immediately and excitedly recaptured Ehu Ridge, and pulled up two Type 92 infantry guns to fire at their troops.

However, just after the Japanese had fired a round of artillery fire, killing and injuring more than a dozen soldiers from the 5th Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, they suddenly heard a loud "bang" and the entire E'hu Ridge was blown to pieces by the explosive packs.

The Japanese's two infantry guns and hundreds of soldiers who had just climbed to the top of the hill were all blown to pieces, leaving no trace of their bodies.

The Japanese officers in the rear were so angry that they howled and shouted, and when their blood boiled, they shouted and ordered the soldiers behind them to chase after them. They completely forgot that their superior officers had just reminded them to be careful of the tricks of the Tubalu.

……

On the side of the New 1st Regiment, Ding Wei received the retreat order from Yang Yuanshan, and he also led his soldiers to retreat while fighting.

After their regiment experienced the bloody battle of Shibangou, it has now been supplemented with a large number of new recruits converted from captured Japanese devils, and its combat effectiveness has declined a lot.

They had just attacked the Japanese position, but had not made much progress. As soon as they retreated, the Japanese immediately rushed out and chased them into a panic.

Fortunately, Ding Wei was in command and had artillery support ambushed in the distance in advance, so the army did not suffer too much loss.

He led the battalion of Japanese pursuers all the way towards Yangping.

……

On the side of the divisional guard regiment, the regiment commander Su Zhen and the political commissar Fang Dingan led the soldiers of the regiment to evacuate eastward.

Both of them had very ugly expressions on their faces.

Originally, Yang Yuanshan knew that their group was the weakest, so the task he assigned to them was the easiest.

——Just attack the hill south of Zhengtai Road where more than 200 Japanese soldiers were stationed.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers of their regiment, having never fought any tough battles and lacking battlefield experience, did not advance steadily when attacking, but instead charged forward rashly, resulting in the loss of dozens of people in a single encounter.

As a result, the morale of the entire regiment was immediately greatly affected.

The soldiers became less resolute as they charged forward, and their casualties became increasingly severe.

Seeing this, Su Zhen gritted his teeth and rushed forward with his men, ignoring the dissuasion of Political Commissar Fang Dingan.

——He thought he was still the captain of the county brigade with two or three hundred people!
Then he was hit in the shoulder blade by a bullet and almost died on the spot.

Fortunately, the guards nearby quickly snatched him back.

But this time, the divisional guard regiment's attack became even more chaotic.

A squadron of Japanese soldiers rushed down and launched a counterattack against them, almost dispersing them all.

Fortunately, the artillery battalion commander Tian Yongcai, seeing that the situation was not good, ordered his dozen or so Type 92 infantry guns to fire at full force, risking accidentally injuring the soldiers in the regiment, and blew up the Japanese troops, buying Su Zhen time to reorganize the team.

Otherwise, their regiment would probably be defeated in one fell swoop.

However, after suffering this setback, Su Zhen became a little smarter.

In the subsequent attacks, they became more organized and gradually put considerable pressure on the Japanese.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese squadron leader immediately asked for help from the rear, and then called for reinforcements from three squadrons, preparing to wipe out Su Zhen and his regiment in one fell swoop.

At this time, Su Zhen also received an order from Yang Yuanshan and began to evacuate.

Just happened to be caught by these three squadrons.

Su Zhen had no choice but to arrange a company to stop the Japanese.

But unexpectedly, this company was unable to stop the Japanese at all, and their blocking positions were visibly broken through by the Japanese.

Seeing that there was no hope for their divisional guard regiment to escape on their own, he could only ask for help from the temporary command center.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanshan immediately sent Wang Ye to lead the special forces regiment's guard battalion to provide support.

When Su Zhen and his men were retreating across a ridge in a panic, Wang Ye and the men from the special forces regiment's guard battalion suddenly appeared. Dozens of MG-42 general-purpose machine guns fired crazily, directly stunning the Japanese pursuers.

Afterwards, Wang Ye led the soldiers equipped with MP38 submachine guns and rushed forward suddenly. They launched a counterattack against the Japanese and knocked down more than a hundred of them in one encounter. The Japanese were so scared that they ran away.

Successfully picked up Su Zhen and others.

Seeing how powerful Wang Ye and others were, the people in the divisional guard regiment couldn't help but envy them.

Su Zhen thanked Wang Ye even more shamelessly:

"Captain Wang, thank you for coming to help.

Our group didn’t play well!
What a shame! "

Wang Ye waved his hand and said quickly:

“Captain Su, you’re too polite.

You guys better retreat quickly, we will stay and block them!"

Su Zhenyouxin's face turned red when he saw that his soldiers were in a state of disarray and had completely lost their morale.

He gritted his teeth and said:
"Captain Wang, I'll let the wounded soldiers retreat first, and the others will stay. I'll help you teach the little devils a lesson, okay?"

Wang Ye saw that the gauze on his left shoulder was covered in blood, but he was still determined to fight the Japanese without fear of death. He couldn't help but have some good feelings for this commander who was not very capable.

He nodded immediately and said:
"Since you guys are still able to fight, Captain Su, why don't we go for the big one and see if we can swallow these hundreds of little devils in one gulp!"

"What? Swallowed it in one gulp?
Captain Wang, you are really too bold, aren't you? "

Su Zhen was stunned. He saw that Wang Ye brought about three hundred people with him!
"Hey, what do you think? Do you dare?"

Wang Ye asked provocatively.

At this time, how could Su Zhen say "I dare not"?
He could only grit his teeth and say:

"Who wouldn't dare? Isn't it just a fight to the death?
None of the soldiers in our Divisional Guards are cowards!"

"Okay! Let's do it!"
