I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 886: Did all the artillery regiment’s shells go to waste?

On the Xigangshan battlefield, as Xu Wei ordered the soldiers of the first battalion to open fire, the entire battle became more and more intense.

The sound of cannons and gunfire made everyone within a few miles around realize that a fierce life-and-death struggle was taking place here!

……

On the top of the mountain, Yang Yuanshan and Han Yang were in a very relaxed mood as they saw the good situation on the battlefield.

They could all see that if the Japanese continued fighting like this, they would only suffer heavy casualties and would never be able to attack the mountain.

Han Yang couldn't help laughing:
"Captain, it seems that the Japanese's combat effectiveness has dropped a lot after we beat them up in Hedi Village.

Think about the Sakata Corps and the Yamazaki Battalion back then, their combat effectiveness is not comparable to these rubbish today."

Yang Yuanshan nodded:
"of course!

I have said it long ago that the Japanese veterans will be fewer and fewer if they die.

As long as we continue to fight like this for another year or two, the little devils will surely degenerate to the point where they are not much better than the Japanese devils."

"Haha, then by then, won't our guerrillas and militia be able to deal with them?"

Han Yang's eyes sparkled.

It was as if I saw the exciting scene of an entire division of Japanese devils being taken care of by thousands of militiamen.

Yang Yuanshan saw that he had already started dreaming before it got dark.

Also hey hey one happy:
"What are you thinking about, kid!
At least the Japanese devils in Shanxi didn't have the luck to be dealt with by the guerrillas.

Our special forces regiment must take on the responsibility of the main force and strive to wipe them out within a year and a half!"

Hearing his lofty ambitions, Han Yang couldn't help but also feel a sense of ambition and nodded repeatedly:

"That's right! Our special forces group must take responsibility!

Beat them up hard!"

……

Just as Yang Yuanshan and Han Yang were chatting and laughing happily, their opponent, Colonel Akita Qiaoyi, commander of the 214th Regiment, was in a very bad mood.

He watched his infantry attack progress slowly and suffer heavy casualties, and could only pin his hopes on the artillery.

However, not long after, the artillery squadron leader Kazuki Shinoda sent someone to ask him for help.

He said he was unable to fight against the Eighth Route Army's artillery.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

He actually reinforced his artillery squadron with four additional guns from two infantry battalions.

This gave them the powerful force of 10 infantry guns!
But now, less than half an hour after the battle started, he was already complaining that he couldn't take it anymore!
This is simply unreasonable!
Are these bastards all good-for-nothings?

However, after he asked in detail about the specific situation of the artillery squadron with a cold face, Akita Qiaoyi felt cold all over again.

There were 10 infantry guns, but now only 4 are left.

More than half of the artillerymen were killed or wounded.

And the enemy still has seventeen or eighteen cannons. How the hell can we fight?
It would be impossible without asking for help from the division headquarters!

He could only bark orders:

“Get back here and let that bastard Shinoda Ikki fight to the last moment and be loyal to His Majesty Tianhuang!
I will ask the division commander for tactical guidance!"

……

The main force of the 33rd Division did not stand idly by when the 214th Regiment attacked Xigang Mountain.

Continue to march forward quickly.

The Japanese soldiers ran under the artillery fire, sweating profusely.

At this time, Akita Qiaoyi's messenger came to Murata Xiaosheng, told him that the war was not going well and asked for tactical guidance.

Murata Takasei was immediately furious.

Since coming out of Jinyang City today, no battle will go smoothly whenever they engage in combat with our army.

It’s either loss of troops and generals, or loss of troops and generals!
How could this make him angry?
He felt that as the division commander, he was a complete unlucky guy, who was just here to take the blame for his useless subordinates.

But no matter how angry he was, he had to solve the problem. He raised his telescope and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield. He found that the 214rd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment had been beaten by our mountain artillery due to insufficient artillery and insufficient shells, and had no spare energy to support the th Regiment.

The gloom in my heart is even worse.

After thinking for a while, he could only order the messenger angrily:
"Go back immediately and tell Akita Qiaoyi to show his samurai courage and destroy the enemy!
Don't rely on artillery support from the division headquarters when you encounter minor difficulties!

His 214th Regiment must capture this hill to cover our troops’ entry into Qubei County!

Even if we all die in battle, we will not hesitate!"

Upon hearing this, the messenger groaned inwardly.

But I can only accept the order honestly:

"Hi!"

Then he hurried away.

Murata Takasei turned around and gave an order to the Chief of Staff Nishimori Shigenobu next to him:

“Nishimori-kun, you personally go and command Miyajima-kun to deploy their regiment’s infantry artillery to support the 214th Regiment!

We must take the Tubalu hill before dark!

Otherwise, our 33rd Division will be in great danger!"

Hearing this, Xisen Zhongxin suddenly felt a lot of MMP in his heart.

He managed to run back to the center army from the extremely dangerous 214th Regiment in front.

I've been here for less than an hour and I'm being sent to the 1th Regiment?

Are you really afraid that you won't die?
Asshole!
Although he cursed in his heart, Xisen Shigenobu remained calm on the surface, and nodded with a loyal look:
"Hi!"

Then he suggested:
"Your Excellency, the artillery fire of the Tubalu is fierce. Our current artillery is obviously insufficient. Should we send a telegram to the commander immediately and request to mobilize another artillery regiment?"

Murata Takasei knew that his field heavy artillery unit was in a very difficult situation.

The infantry artillery of the 214th Regiment was almost worn out. If a new artillery force was not added soon, in subsequent battles, their warriors would have to charge forward under heavy fire and suffer huge casualties.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart: It would be fine if the Eighth Route Army had a lot of artillery, but why did they have so many shells?

It looks like it can't be illuminated at all!

After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of a better way, so he could only nod:
"Yoshi! What Xisen said makes sense. I will send a message to the commander."

Seeing that he was not understanding, Xisen Shigenobu quickly said:
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, how about I send the message myself?
To ask the 215th Regiment to change its combat plan, can we just send a warrior to notify them?"

"No! The attack on this mountain is extremely important, Xisen-kun, you must go in person!
The telegraph operator will do the job of sending the message!"

Murata Takasei refused outright.

This made Nishimori Shigenobu unable to help but draw his sword and chop the man.

But then he saw the epaulettes of major general on the other person's shoulders, and instantly came to his senses and agreed obediently.

Then he led his guard troops and rushed towards the northeast under the artillery fire.

……

Seeing Nishimori Shigenobu rushing forward honestly, Murata Takasei immediately called the telegraph operator and ordered him to send a telegram to the First Army Headquarters in Jinyang City.

After the telegraph operator received the order and went back to work, he ordered the people around him to go to the artillery regiment to inquire about the situation.

Soon, the messenger hurried back and reported with a sad face:

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Commander Guang Jing reported that they only have one 1mm howitzer and seven 105mm mountain guns left.

There are less than 30 shells left for each gun!"

"What? Baga Yalu!

Then why did the Tubalu's mountain artillery seem to be undamaged? ? ?
Did all of Kazuo Mitsui's shells hit birds?"

Murata Takasei felt his blood pressure suddenly skyrocket and he immediately started cursing.
