I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 878: Isn’t the Eighth Route Army such a waste?

Let’s talk about the battlefield in Qubei County.

Time passed slowly in the fierce artillery battle between the artillery battalion of the special forces regiment and the Japanese third field heavy artillery regiment.

More than an hour later, the large Japanese infantry force finally appeared within the range of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

Battalion Commander Guo Youqing immediately ordered his soldiers:

"Aim at where the Japanese are concentrated, and fire with all your might!
Beat them up!"

The soldiers shouted:
"Yes!"

They immediately started firing wildly.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

The dense artillery fire added a new tune to the already rumbling battlefield.

The soldiers of the 214th Regiment, who were at the forefront of the Japanese army, were running for their lives under the leadership of the division chief of staff, Colonel Shigenobu Nishimori, and the regiment commander, Colonel Akita Kyoji.

But suddenly, they heard a strange whistling sound in their ears.

The next second, everyone was shocked to find that their colleagues were suddenly beaten in half.

Blood was splattered wildly, and the sky was full of blood rain, covering everyone's head and face.

The power of the 20mm machine gun is like the scythe of the god of death when it hits infantry.

"Baga? What's going on?"

The Japanese soldiers screamed in surprise.

A clever Japanese officer immediately shouted:
"Bombardment! Get down and avoid the bombardment!"

These shouts were so shrill that they immediately woke up the confused Japanese soldiers.

They all fell to the ground like dogs eating shit.

Everyone was trembling in their hearts: Why do the Tubalu have so many artillery pieces? It's too scary!

Nishimori Shigenobu, who was originally perched high on his warhorse, also rolled off his horse in panic and shouted loudly:
"Hurry up, notify the artillery regiment and blow up the direct-fire artillery of the Eighth Route Army!!!"

The next second, he saw the top-grade warhorse that had accompanied him for several years was suddenly hit by a cannonball, leaving a huge bloody hole, and then fell down with a bang.

There was no time to even let out a scream.

It also crushed to death two Japanese soldiers who had just laid down next to it.

Seeing such a horrific scene, Nishimori Shigenobu almost cried out loud.

Only then did he realize that the group of Eighth Route Army soldiers in front of him were completely different from those he had seen before!
He finally understood why Murata Takasei had been rather timid and not so enthusiastic since he heard that he had to go out of the city to support Qubei County.

I think the enemy was also crushed by the Eighth Route Army in the Hedi Village battlefield before!
It's so scary!
……

Just as he was getting extremely anxious, the commander of the 214th Regiment, Akita Qiaoyi, hurriedly crawled over from the ground and suggested:

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, our artillery has to engage in a firefight with the Tubalu's mountain artillery, and I'm afraid we don't have the spare energy to destroy these direct-fire artillery.

I suggest that we send our warriors to ride motorcycles to the artillery positions of the Tubalu and shoot them with machine guns! "

The Japanese 33rd Division had more than 214 sidecars equipped with Type light machine guns, more than of which were in their th Regiment.

That's why Akita Qiaoyi made such a suggestion.

Nishimori Shigenobu was just about to call the other party a fool, saying that using more than 20 light machine guns to fight against hundreds of direct-fire artillery on the Eighth Route Army was simply like an egg hitting a stone.

But he changed his mind and felt that there didn't seem to be any better solution at the moment. Instead of lying here and getting bombed, it would be better to try his luck.

Even if we can kill some of the enemy's artillery, wouldn't it relieve the pressure on our side?
So he nodded immediately:
"Yoshi! Akita-kun, make arrangements immediately!
Come on! "

……

Soon, the more than 20 three-wheeled vehicles in front of the Japanese army, which were originally scattered to avoid the artillery fire, immediately dispersed and rushed towards the position of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion of the Special Service Regiment.

Soon, they arrived less than 1000 meters to the side of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion's position and began firing with light machine guns.

"Da da da... da da da..."

Amid the dense gunfire, bullets flew everywhere, injuring many soldiers from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion on the spot.

……

At the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, it was impossible for Guo Youqing not to have seen these sidecar tricycles of the Japanese devils.

But he originally thought that these were just individual scouts of the Japanese devils and would not pose any threat to them, so he did not pay much attention to them.

Only a few dozen ammunition handlers were deployed, and more than a dozen MG-42 general-purpose machine guns equipped by their battalion were set up around the artillery positions to prevent the enemy from rushing over.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually had a light machine gun!

Seeing that more than a dozen of his gunners and ammunition handlers were injured in a single encounter, Guo Youqing immediately roared:

"Gao Yonggang, bring two machine guns and our machine guns to kill these damned Japs for me!
The remaining light machine gunners in our battalion should also take action and go around to the rear of the Japanese from the west. Don't let any of them escape!"

"Yes!"

The second company commander Gao Yonggang received the order loudly.

He then ordered the machine gunners in the battalion, who were originally equipped with Type 99 light machine guns, to sneak out from the side of their own positions and go behind the Japanese.

After they took action, he personally directed the two machine guns to adjust their angles and prepare for the bombardment. The dozen or so MG-42 general-purpose machine guns that had been deployed quickly adjusted their positions and immediately opened fire, making a terrifying sound like tearing cloth.

"Zizzizi...zizizi..."

How fast is the firing rate of the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun?
Although there were only a dozen of them, they still produced the effect of dozens of machine guns firing in an instant.

The Japanese's more than 20 light machine guns with crooked handles were directly suppressed, making them breathless.

The Japanese soldiers had to duck their heads and shout in fear:
“Bagya Road!
Why are there so many heavy machine guns on the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army?

Aren’t they too wasteful?

If we hadn't come, would they have left so many heavy machine guns idle here?"

But the next second, they didn't have to think about this problem anymore.

Because Gao Yonggang had already commanded two machine guns and started firing at them.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang..."

The terrible sound of the artillery directly turned their sidecars into sieves!
By the way, the soldiers lying on the sidecars were also beaten to pieces.

Some clever Japanese soldiers saw that continuing to fight would lead to death, so they jumped off the three-wheeler and fled.

However, before they could run far, they were suddenly attacked by light machine gunners from the side and rear, and were all knocked to the ground with a barrage of fire.

……

Guo Youqing was naturally very satisfied as he had easily dealt with these Japanese cannon fodder.

Seeing that the large Japanese army in the distance was lying on the ground, and that most of the shells fired by our side were missing, we immediately gave the order:

"Stop shelling and move to Xigang Mountain!"

"Yes!"

……

Just as they were withdrawing, several grenades fell from the sky and blew their original position to pieces.

Seeing this, Guo Youqing couldn't help but feel fortunate that he didn't get carried away and forget what Yang Yuanshan had said.

……

At this moment, Yang Yuanshan and Han Yang had already arrived at Xigang Mountain and checked the position layout of the first battalion.

Then he hid behind a big rock and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield through a telescope.

After a long while, Han Yang frowned and asked:
"Captain, even though the Japanese have suffered a lot from us, it looks like they haven't sustained any serious injuries!
Let's fight this battle this way, okay?"

“What’s wrong?

Look, we've been exchanging fire with a division of the Japanese for a long time, killing at least half of their artillery regiment, and causing at least hundreds or thousands of casualties to their infantry, and you're still not satisfied?"

Yang Yuanshan rolled his eyes at him.

I feel like this guy is even more arrogant than me.

Hearing what he said, Han Yang also smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly:

“That seems to be the case.

We destroyed half of the Japanese artillery regiment and an infantry battalion in one day. It was indeed a great victory that shocked the whole country."

……

While the two were talking, a messenger came over to report:

"Commander, Chief of Staff, the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion has withdrawn."

"Okay, let Guo Youqing come to see me!"

"Yes!"

……

After a while, Guo Youqing came running over:
"Captain!"

“How about your losses?
I saw the Japanese artillery fire towards you just now."

Yang Yuanshan asked with concern.

“We retreated quickly and were not bombed.

But just now the Japanese sent more than 20 sidecars with machine guns to attack us, injuring more than a dozen people. "

Yang Yuanshan could still accept the casualties of more than a dozen people.

He nodded immediately and arranged:
"Okay. Now, immediately find a suitable position on this hill and set up your gun.

Once the Japanese come into range, beat them hard!
Pay attention to forming a pincer attack with the first battalion and cover each other, understand?"

"understand!"
