I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 879: This idiot, can’t he even lie down to avoid the artillery fire?
Outside Qubei County, on Xigang Mountain.

Seeing that the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion was already busy setting up the gun positions, Yang Yuanshan ordered a messenger:
“Go ask Kong Dacheng’s tank company if they can still fight.

If possible, let them attack immediately and use the tank main guns to bully the Japanese from a distance!"

"Yes!"

The communicator agreed and quickly ran to the tank company's rest area.

Han Yang couldn't help laughing:
"Captain, we're going to kill Kong Dacheng to our heart's content today!"

“Hahaha, this Jin land is rugged and mountainous, not suitable for large-scale tank combat.

It is not easy for our tank soldiers to grow up.

It's rare to come across terrain that's so suitable for tank combat, so of course I have to let them practice well!

In the future, I am counting on them to get a few hundred tanks to go to the great plains in central Hebei and sweep away the Japanese invaders!"

As he spoke, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but imagine the future, the exciting scene of using hundreds or thousands of tanks to push through the entire Beijing-Hebei and Liaodong.

By then, the enemy that the Japanese army fears the most will no longer be the Russians in Nomonhan, but themselves.

It makes me happy just thinking about it!
……

While they were talking and laughing, the correspondent had already rushed back and reported to Yang Yuanshan:
"Commander, Captain Kong replied that they still have 5 tanks that can fight. They are now in formation and will set off soon!"

"it is good!"

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand and asked the communicator to go down and rest, and he picked up the telescope to observe.

Soon, he saw four Chaffee tanks and an M3 Stuart tank, spewing black smoke, bypassing the foot of the mountain in the east and rushing towards the Japanese.

And just as these tanks were attacking, the artillery fire from the special forces regiment's artillery battalion also gradually stopped.

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but frown:
"what happened?"

Han Yang guessed:
"Maybe they ran out of shells, or the barrels are red?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded slightly, thinking about replenishing some artillery ammunition for the artillery battalion.

……

So he thought about it and checked the rewards for killing the devils today in his mind:

"Kill 35 little Japanese tank soldiers, and you will be rewarded with 75 BMW R35 military sidecar motorcycles and 4000 liters of gasoline."

"Killed 1 Japanese tank soldier, 150 Russian GAZ-4 military trucks, 1000 liters of gasoline."

This is the result of Kong Dacheng and others' tank battle today in which they destroyed 10 Japanese tanks.

Yang Yuanshan was naturally very satisfied.

I was thinking that there were nearly a hundred BMW R75s in my regiment now, so maybe it was time to set up a motorized battalion.

Equipped with the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun, this battalion can definitely exert the effect of a regiment.

The Russian GAZ-150 military truck was also a good thing in those days. It was the predecessor of the later Jiefang truck and could be used for both transporting goods and carrying troops.

It’s a pity that the dog system only rewards 4 cars, which is really too little.

He then looked back again:

"Kill the little Japanese infantry*522, and the reward will be Sanba Daigai*522, and 6.5 rounds of Arisaka 5mm bullets."

“击杀小鬼子炮兵*617，奖励70毫米榴弹5000发，75毫米榴弹1万发，20毫米榴弹2万发。”

"Kill *26 little Japanese medical soldiers, and reward 10 boxes of penicillin, 5 boxes of morphine, 8 boxes of medical equipment, 2 boxes of medical bandages, and 1 boxes of medical alcohol."

"Kill the little Japanese corps leader*32, reward grenade*32, and grenades 3200 times."

"Kill the little Jaap Sergeant*17, and the reward will be Type 17 light machine gun*7.7, and 1.7 rounds of Arisaka mm bullets."

“击杀小鬼子少尉*8，奖励MG-42通用机枪*8，7.92*57毛瑟步枪弹8000发。”

"Kill *2 Little Japanese Lieutenants, and you will be rewarded with *2 Type 200 Infantry Cannons and rounds of artillery shells."

“击杀小鬼子中佐*1，奖励41式75毫米山炮*1，榴弹80发。”

……

In one day, more than 1300 Japanese soldiers were killed, and Yang Yuanshan was quite satisfied.

He diverted his attention from his mind, and with one thought, he launched a large number of 75mm caliber artillery shells and the last 7 Type 41 75mm mountain cannons in his system warehouse a few hundred meters behind Gao Yuanzhi's artillery position.

As soon as this was done, a communicator from the artillery battalion came running over to report:
"Commander, our battalion has used up all its shells, and the gun barrels are all red. The battalion commander is retreating with the remaining 15 guns!"

"My goodness! They destroyed 21 of my guns in less than a day!"

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh.

Then ask:

"What are your casualties?"

"The casualties are 30%."

The correspondent had a somewhat sad look on his face.

The power of the Japanese 105mm howitzer is really not small.

With that one shot, all the soldiers within the blast wave range were blown into pieces, and even their bodies could not be found.

……

In every battle, his artillery made great contributions and suffered heavy casualties. Yang Yuanshan had gotten used to it.

He nodded slightly and asked with concern:
"Have all the wounded been sent to the field hospital?" "Already."

"Okay, go back and tell Gao Yuanzhi that I have sent a batch of artillery shells and mountain cannons to the rear of their position 700 to 800 meters away. Ask him to receive them immediately.

Then look for another location and reestablish the artillery position.

Keep aiming at the Japanese!

Don't stop firing until it gets dark!"

"Yes!"

……

The artillery battalion of the special forces regiment stopped firing, and the Japanese immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the whistling sound of artillery shells in the sky, everyone felt that it was dawn.

Division Commander Murata Takasei immediately shouted excitedly:
"The Tubalu's artillery is finished!
Warriors, hurry up, speed up, and charge forward! "

Then he ordered the messenger:

"Hurry up, order Kazuo Mitsui to move his artillery position forward!
Prepare to cover our troops entering Qubei County!"

"Hi!"

……

At the position of the Japanese Army's 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, the regiment commander Kazuo Mitsui saw that our army's artillery fire had finally stopped, and naturally he relaxed.

He immediately ordered his artillery to stop firing.

Then he looked around and suddenly wanted to cry out loud.

All he saw was artillery pieces scattered across his own position, while the artillerymen were wailing.

As far as the eye can see, less than 40% to 50% of the artillerymen are still standing.

Kazuo Mitsui immediately gave an order to his chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Masao Fukuzuka, the former commander of the 33rd Mountain Artillery Regiment:

"Fukuzuka-kun, hurry up, count the damage and treat the wounded!!!"

……

Soon, Fukuzuka Masao came over to report to him:
"Sir, now we only have three 3mm howitzers and 105 11mm mountain guns left."

"What? Baga Yalu!

Damn Tubalu!"

Kazuo Mitsui was furious!

The original artillery regiment with 36 guns was reduced to an artillery battalion with only 14 guns after less than a day of fighting.

How could this make him not angry?
He was a colonel and a regiment commander, but now he has become a captain!
The phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken after losing its feathers!
But there was no point in being angry. I saw the large infantry force in the division speeding up and rolling forward while there was no enemy artillery fire.

He also knew that he had no time to waste, so he could only ask again:
"What about our warriors?
How much was lost?

"A total of five to six hundred warriors died, and six to seven hundred were seriously injured and unable to continue fighting!"

Fukuzuka Masao answered honestly.

“Bagya Road!
So we only have about a thousand people who can fight now?"

Kazuo Mitsui's face was full of disbelief.

The Japanese artillery regiment usually had only two to three thousand people, instead of the three to four thousand people of the infantry regiment.

His 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment suffered heavy losses in the battle of Hedi Village.

After escaping back to Jinyang City, after being reorganized and supplemented by Kazuo Iwamatsu, the 33rd Mountain Artillery Regiment was absorbed, which had only about 2500 people.

Now that the loss in the first battle has reached 1,200 or 1,300, it can almost be said that they are half-crippled.

At this time, Fukuzuka Masao poured a bucket of cold water on him again:
"Among them, Gao Liujun, the captain of the first brigade, also died."

"What? Baga Yalu!

"Takayanagi Takizo is such an idiot, can't he even lie down to avoid the artillery fire?"

Kazuo Mitsui was so angry that he wanted to pull the other person out of hell and beat him up.

After the battle of Hedi Village, he only had a few core officers under his command.

Now we have lost a lieutenant colonel captain. It is like "when it rains, it pours, and when the ship is late it encounters headwinds"!
Seeing this guy's distorted face, Masao Fukuzuka couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

I thought to myself: You might as well die of anger.

Then it will be my turn to be the squadron leader.

He was transferred from the position of commander of the mountain artillery regiment to chief of staff of the field heavy artillery regiment, but he was not very happy about it!
……

Just when Kazuo Mitsui was so angry that he jumped up and down, Murata Takasei's messenger came and conveyed to him the order to move the artillery position forward immediately.

Kazuo Mitsui took the order obediently, and then directed his soldiers, who were already exhausted, to work hard to move the remaining 14 artillery pieces forward.

He secretly vowed: In the next battle, he would teach those local guerrillas a lesson severely so as to avenge his warriors!

However, he forgot that after most of the day's bombardment, they only had a few shells left!

By then, it’s still unknown who will teach whom a lesson!
