I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 881 What kind of war are these losers fighting?

Kong Dacheng led five tanks and surrounded the Japanese anti-tank artillery positions, firing as they moved.

After wreaking havoc for nearly ten minutes and using up all the shells in the tanks, they immediately withdrew at a speed of more than 40 kilometers.

At this time, the Japanese's temporary anti-tank artillery battalion had been completely destroyed.

Not only were there only 18 anti-tank guns left out of a total of 5, but more than half of the artillerymen had been lost.

Even the battalion commander, Major Keisuke Yoshino, was shot in the forehead by a shrapnel. He went straight to see the King of Hell with his eyes wide open.

……

In the large Japanese army, the division commander Murata Takamori saw the enemy tanks through a telescope and withdrew as if nothing had happened. He was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

He roared angrily:
"Baga! What kind of war are these idiots fighting?

Call that jerk Yoshino Keisuke!!!"

……

Soon, a squadron leader of the anti-tank artillery battalion came running over and reported to him with a sad face:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Captain Yoshino has died."

Upon hearing this, Murata Takasei was immediately paralyzed.

He felt his temples throbbing with anger, and the blood in his body rushed to his head. He suddenly had the urge to draw his sword and chop someone.

Roaring loudly:
"Bageyalu! This idiot!!!"

……

Murata Takasei spitted for a long time, but finally calmed down.

He shouted at the squadron leader whose face was covered in gunpowder:

“How many anti-tank guns do you have left?
How many casualties were there?"

"Only 5 guns and 300 men left!"

The squadron leader replied tremblingly.

"What? Baga Yalu!

You bunch of rubbish should all be loyal to His Majesty the Heavenly Locust!"

The anger that had just subsided in Murata Takasei suddenly rose up again.

He suddenly took a step forward, rushed forward, and launched a fierce attack at the squadron leader.

"Pah! Pah..."

There was a crisp slap, and the squadron leader was beaten into a pig's head.

……

After beating the squadron leader for several minutes, Murata Takasei's anger finally subsided a lot.

While rubbing his aching hand, he asked:
"Hurry up, tell me the details!
Why can't your 18 anti-tank guns do anything to the Tubalu's five tanks? "

The squadron leader was beaten so hard that he was dizzy. After a long while, he could not narrate what had happened in clear words.

Upon hearing that their own anti-tank guns were too useless and could not do anything to the enemy's tanks, Murata Takasei immediately wanted to curse again.

However, he also knew that the Locust Army had never been prepared for the Eighth Route Army's chariots, and they were powerful chariots at that.

Therefore, having these 18 anti-tank guns is already considered a fairly sufficient preparation.

It's really hard to blame.

He could only suppress his anger and order the squadron leader to take his men and retreat to the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment.

At the same time, he called the telegraph operator to send a message to Kazuo Iwamatsu in Jinyang City, requesting the other side to send air force to bomb our army's tanks and artillery.

……

In Jinyang City, Iwamatsu Kazuo has been waiting for information from all sides.

When I received the telegram from Murata Takasei, I felt a little numb all over.

The 18 hot anti-tank guns were just launched out of the city a few hours ago, and more than half of them were destroyed in one battle. Is this okay?
At this rate of loss, even if the Locust Army opened a hundred arsenals, they still wouldn’t be able to supply the enemy!

Prince Asaka Sakehiko, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but question Iwamatsu Kazuo:
“Yan Songjun, has your First Army been stationed in China for too long and you have forgotten how to fight?
How could you be defeated so easily by the Tubalu? It seems that I should suggest to the headquarters that you be withdrawn to the country and retrained, so as not to lose face for my great Fuso Empire!"

Back then, he was in Shanghai and Nanjing, commanding the Shanghai Expeditionary Force, and easily defeated Lao Chang's hundreds of thousands of elite troops.

So now, he totally couldn't understand why a division he sent out would suffer such a huge loss in a battle that lasted less than a day!

It’s almost like a joke!
If the locust army's combat effectiveness is so poor, then the locust army's cause will be doomed???

……

When Iwamatsu Kazuo heard what Prince Sakuhiko of Prince Asaka said, he felt very embarrassed.

While madly complaining about Shinozuka Kazuo in his heart, he quickly passed the buck:
"General, I just came to the First Army a few months ago."

Upon hearing this, Prince Sakuhiko Asaka could not help but despise the man in front of him for being irresponsible and only knowing how to pass the buck when encountering problems. He completely lacked the courage of a soldier.

However, he was too lazy to argue with the other party. If the other party was too reliable, then he, as a "consultant", would really be just a "consultant".

So I immediately changed the subject and asked:
"When will the Army Air Force bomber that Mr. Okamura promised to give you arrive?"

Iwamatsu Kazuo did not answer, but looked at Chief of Staff Shinichi Yoshimoto.

Yoshimoto Shinichi quickly replied:

"The telegram sent by the Front Army said that tomorrow morning, they will fly directly over Qubei County with bombs to bomb the Tubalu Army, and then land at Jinyang Airport to refuel and refuel with aerial bombs to continue the battle."

After hearing his words, Prince Asaka Sakehiko did not even consider asking Iwamatsu Kazuo for his opinion and directly gave the order:
“Yoshi!
Mr. Yoshimoto, send a telegram to the front army, ordering the Army Air Force bombers to give priority to destroying the Eighth Route Army's tanks and artillery when carrying out bombing missions tomorrow! "

"Hi!"

"Inventory and reorganize the aviation fuel and bombs stored in Jinyang City, and transport them to Jinyang Airport for the aviation troops to use."

"Hi!"

"Send a telegram to Murata-kun, asking them to demonstrate the bravery of our locust army and try to reach Qubei County tonight!

No matter how powerful the Eighth Route Army's artillery and tanks are, they still need to replenish ammunition and fuel. They are by no means invincible!

Also, tell him that tomorrow morning, the air force will go to bomb, and then he must take this opportunity to defeat the enemy! "

"Hi!"

……

On Xigang Mountain outside Qubei County.

Yang Yuanshan was naturally very satisfied when he saw Kong Dacheng's tanks slaughtering the Japanese.

He looked up at the sky and found that it was already late. He immediately called the guard battalion commander Wang Ye:

"Wang Ye, arrange for the flamethrower company to go to the foot of Xigang Mountain about 300 meters away, dig a shallow trench, put two or three hundred flamethrower fuel tanks and explosive packs in it, and then cover it with weeds.

Wait a minute, if the Japanese want to attack here in the dark, we can detonate these explosive packs and fuel tanks, turn their vanguard into roasted pigs, and light up the place at the same time!"

"Yes!"

Wang Ye agreed and immediately went to make arrangements.

……

The Japanese had no idea what kind of feast Yang Yuanshan had prepared for them.

After watching Kong Dacheng's tanks withdraw, they ran as fast as they could and hurried forward again.

About 20 minutes later, their vanguard appeared about 2 kilometers south of Qubei County.

This caused the Japanese soldiers who were struggling to defend the city wall on the south side of Qubei County to cheer loudly, greatly boosting their morale.

They felt that they would be able to quickly wipe out the Eighth Route Army that surrounded the city and turn their bones into ashes!
However, before they could be happy for even a minute, the whistling sound of flying shells suddenly came from the sky again -

“Swish, swish, swish…swish, swish…”

When the Japanese soldiers took a look, they immediately began to doubt their lives.

More than twenty shells flew out from the Eighth Route Army's artillery positions, smashing into their own reinforcements that were rushing towards them from the south.
