I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 883 Leave some for the first battalion!

On Xigang Mountain.

Yang Yuanshan was very happy when he saw through the telescope that the Japanese soldiers were rushing towards Qubei County regardless of casualties.

This is exactly the effect he wants!

If the Japanese kept hesitating and refused to come over, how could he beat them until they cried?

If we can break down the Japanese morale today, the first day, then the subsequent battles will be easier.

So he immediately gave the order excitedly:

"Quick, order the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion to open fire!
Hit him hard! "

"Yes!"

The communicator hurried to the position of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion not far away.

A few minutes later, the sound of "bang bang bang" of artillery fire was heard from the position.

The Oerlikon 20mm machine gun was spewing shells at the Japanese at a rate of two to three hundred rounds per minute.

The entire Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, with 18 guns, used tens of thousands of artillery shells in just two or three minutes, plowing the Japanese marching troops diagonally.

Creating grooves of flesh and blood.

Let the little Japanese cry for their parents.

……

The Chief of Staff of the 33rd Division, Shigenobu Nishimori, who was at the front of the team, was immediately furious when he saw that our army had deployed the same direct-fire artillery that had just beaten them up on the eastern hilltop.

He knew that the situation was extremely critical, and immediately ordered the commander of the 214th Regiment, Akita Qiaoyi:

"Akita-kun, our artillery is in a fierce battle with the Tubalu's mountain artillery and cannot handle these direct-fire artillery!

Now I order you to take your men to the east and destroy these damn artillery pieces!"

Upon hearing this, Akita Qiaoyi wanted to pull out his gun and shoot this guy in the head.

Love is just sending yourself to your own death, right?

Is it a human being?
Why the hell don't you go by yourself?

But he didn't dare to resist, and could only hesitate and say:
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army is so dense that it seems that there are at least hundreds of artillery pieces.

They are now about 3 kilometers away from our team. If my warriors want to rush over, I'm afraid that more than half of them will be killed or wounded, and it will be difficult to do so!"

Because the Oerlikon machine guns had a very fast firing rate, he mistook 18 guns for hundreds of guns.

After all, there was no artillery with such a fast firing rate in their locust army.

Nishimori Shigenobu obviously saw that Akita Qiaoyi did not want to obey his orders, and immediately roared:

"idiot!
You cowardly coward!
waste!

The artillery of the Tubalu is direct-fire artillery with a small caliber. As long as your men crawl forward, their artillery will be rendered ineffective!"

Hearing this, Akita Qiaoyi's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

If there is a way, then he won’t be afraid!
……

Then he immediately organized his two captains and began to summon the soldiers who were lying on the ground and shivering, preparing for action.

Moreover, when deploying the action plan, he thought of another idea, and suddenly felt that today was the day to achieve success.

So he gave the orders to the captains of the two infantry battalions with a happy face:
"Nishimura-kun, Egawa-kun, immediately pull out the infantry artillery in your battalion and hand it over to Shinoda-kun, and assemble and use it!"

Lieutenant Colonel Taro Nishimura, commander of the 1st Battalion, and Major Yuta Egawa, commander of the 2nd Battalion, were both unhappy when they heard this.

He quickly said:
"Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army will definitely deploy infantry heavy machine guns in front of the artillery position.

It would be best if we keep these few artillery pieces to deal with the enemy's machine gun fire points."

Akita Qiaoyi shook his head:

"Their first priority should be to destroy the Tubalu's artillery.

As for the machine gun fire points, our heavy machine guns and grenade launchers can handle them!"

……

After the arrangements were made, thousands of Japanese soldiers in shit-yellow military uniforms were divided into two groups. One group crawled towards that side, braving the crazy artillery shells fired from Xigang Mountain.

The other group was a reinforced artillery squadron, driving mules and horses, pulling the 10 Type infantry guns they carried and rushing towards the south of Xigang Mountain.

It is obvious that Akita Qiaoyi is preparing to take a two-pronged approach, building a plank road in the open while secretly attacking Chencang.

……

Shigenobu Nishimori saw the soldiers of the 214th Regiment advancing under the artillery fire with a fearless spirit.

He immediately turned around and ran to the back.

His warhorse had been killed earlier, and he was also worried about the shells flying in the sky, so at this moment, he could only walk as fast as he could, running breathlessly.

Soon, he came to the center of the division headquarters and looked for the division commander, Murata Takasei. When the other party saw him, he was furious and immediately roared:

“Xisen-kun, why are you running back here instead of leading the warriors in battle?
I clearly saw the Eighth Route Army on that hill over there, bombarding our warriors!

Are you afraid of death and afraid of the enemy?"

Nishimori Shigenobu was naturally very unhappy after being scolded, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: If you had a little ability, you could have wiped out the Eighth Route Army. Would we have been beaten so badly?
Why are you acting like a division commander in front of me now?

Although he was thinking a lot, he still kept his head down and said the purpose of his return:

"Your Excellency, the division commander, I have ordered Akita-kun to lead the 214th Regiment to deal with the artillery of the Eighth Route Army on the eastern mountain.

When I came back, I felt that we could not continue to march together like this. The artillery advantage of the Eighth Route Army was too obvious. We should disperse in units of regiments or battalions!
According to the intelligence we got before, the number of Tubalu troops is definitely less than ours.

Once we spread out, we will be able to successfully enter Qubei County and gain the advantage of terrain!"

Murata Takasei was already at a loss, and now he was somewhat surprised to hear his idea.

Regardless of whether this idea is reliable or not, it is at least a solution.

In case he is really unreliable, you can also throw this guy out to take the blame.

So he nodded slightly:
"Yoshi! What Xisen-kun said makes sense."

Then he gave a loud order:
"Order Miyamoto-kun to lead the 213th Regiment to disperse and march to the northwest, preparing to enter the city from the west of Qubei County.

Order Miyajima-kun to lead the 215th Regiment to accelerate the march to the northeast, prepare to enter the city from the east of Qubei County, and cooperate with the 214th Regiment to attack the Tubalu's position on the eastern mountain! "

"Hi!"

The messenger immediately received the order and hurried away.

Soon, two regiments were separated from the large Japanese army. They dispersed and rushed towards the northeast and northwest under the artillery fire.

……

Speaking of the Japanese 214th Regiment, they were crawling towards Xigang Mountain under the command of the regiment commander Akita Qiaoyi.

When the soldiers of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion saw this, they immediately lowered their guns and fired at them.

The shells made small holes in the ground that were several feet deep.

The shock wave of the explosion swept across the sky, carrying shrapnel, mud, grass debris and other objects, making it impossible for the Japanese to open their eyes.

You can only crawl forward blindly.

From time to time, some unlucky people were hit by shells, and big bloody holes were made on the spot, and blood splattered all over the heads and faces of other people.

Akita Qiaoyi lay at the back, observing the battlefield situation through a telescope. He felt heartbroken when he saw the heavy losses suffered by his own men.

Roaring loudly:

"Hurry up, speed up! Go over there!"

When he saw that his men were less than 1000 meters away from Xigang Mountain, he yelled again:
"Heavy machine gun, provide cover fire! Quick!"

……

On the hillside of Xigang Mountain, the soldiers of the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion couldn't help feeling a little nervous when they saw the Japanese rushing towards them.

Company commander Xu Chao couldn't help but ask:

"Battalion Commander, the Japanese are coming. Should we open fire with our heavy machine guns?"

Guo Youqing smiled slightly:
“No need!

Old Xu and his men in the first battalion are getting almost mad with anxiety, so let's leave some for them.

Don't let us eat the meat, and don't even leave them a mouthful of soup."

"Haha, that's true. I think the first battalion hasn't fired a single shot today!"

Xu Chao laughed loudly and looked sympathetically at the soldiers of the first battalion deployed in the trenches diagonally in front of them.

In fact, in the trenches of the first battalion, the soldiers had already been rubbing their hands and could not wait to ask the battalion commander Xu Wei:
"Battalion Commander, the Japs are coming up, can we open fire?

Look, their heavy machine guns are firing!"

Xu Wei shook his head:
"Don't worry, the distance is at least 900 meters. The Japanese heavy machine guns are just wasting bullets and can't hurt Lao Guo and the others!

Let’s let them get within 500 meters before fighting!
At that time, infantry guns, recoilless guns, heavy machine guns, and light machine guns will open fire together to give the Japanese a hard time! "

"Yes!"

Then he personally ran to the artillery company deployed on the other side and ordered the artillery company commander Ma Yang:
"Ma Yang, in five minutes, your artillery company will open fire immediately. Blow up these heavy machine guns of the Japanese as soon as possible. Don't leave a single one behind!
Understand? "

"understand!"

Ma Yang roared, revealing an excited grin:
"Just wait and see, Captain!

Our artillery company will definitely make the Japanese cry!"
