I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 890: One regiment is equipped with only one artillery battalion as standard. This is simply bullying!

When Nishimori Shigenobu saw that Murata Takasei did not draw his sword to attack anyone, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way back just now, he was still very nervous, fearing that this guy would go crazy.

Not daring to delay, he quickly recounted to Murata Takasei everything that had just happened.

Upon hearing that his two regiments had suffered heavy casualties but still failed to capture the enemy's hill, Murata Takasei suddenly felt his scalp tingling!

When he looked up at the sky, he felt that his idea of ​​trying to break into Qubei County today seemed to have been shattered.

The thought of having to sleep outdoors in this open wilderness tonight made him break out in cold sweats.

——Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that his opponents would let them sleep peacefully!
……

Realizing that the current situation was extremely dangerous, he immediately gave the order:
"Mr. Xisen, immediately order the 214th and 215th Regiments to abandon the attack and turn west!"

When Nishimori Shigenobu heard this, he was speechless.

I am the chief of staff of the division, not a messenger!
This bastard in front of me, relies on the fact that he is the acting division commander to order me around. He is such a jerk!
He quickly suggested:
"Sir, just moving back won't solve our current crisis.

I believe that we are now less than three kilometers away from Qubei County, so we can speed up, bypass the front of Qubei County and enter the city from the west.

Even if we are intercepted by the Tubalu, we can still pay a certain price in exchange for the successful entry of the large army into the city!"

Murata Takasei has encountered too many setbacks today. He feels exhausted and has no mood to try again.

But he also knew that if he didn't give it a try, he would definitely suffer heavy losses tonight due to the harassment from these ferocious and ferocious Eighth Route Army!

His expression changed from gloomy to bright. He thought for two or three minutes before gritting his teeth and giving the order:
“Yoshi! Xisen-kun, your idea makes some sense.

Now I order you to go to the front immediately, gather the warriors of the 214th and 215th Regiments, and slowly turn west to cover the main force of my division entering Qubei County. "

Since he was going to suffer losses anyway, he mustered up some courage and prepared to give it one more try.

Upon hearing this order, Nishimori Shigenobu was suddenly paralyzed.

Struggle quickly:

"Your Excellency, the division commander, I believe that you can fully trust Miyajima-kun in the matter of the transfer!
I want to go to the 213th Regiment and organize them to enter Qubei County."

Although he knew that there would definitely be enemy blocking the west gate, it should, probably... be easier than the eastern hilltop, right?

However, Murata Takasei was unhappy when he saw him, so how could he assign him an easy task?

The guy glared at him, holding the sword at his waist, and spitted at him wildly:
"Baga! Are you afraid of death?

You are unworthy of being called an Imperial officer!"

Seeing that this bastard was ready to execute him immediately, Xisen Shigenobu dared not say any more nonsense, and immediately stood at attention and took the order honestly:

"Hey! I will definitely complete the transfer mission!"

……

After sending away Nishimori Shigenobu, who always wanted to hide behind, Murata Takasei called the telegraph operator with a bitter face and asked him to send a telegram to Iwamatsu Kazuo in Jinyang City to report the heavy losses.

He then ordered his soldiers to adjust their marching direction and rush towards the northwest.

However, something that made him collapse soon happened.

They had not run far when Colonel Kosuke Miyamoto, the commander of the 213th Regiment, sent someone to report:

"Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army has deployed about a regiment of troops outside the western city gate of Qubei County.

If we get any closer, we'll be engaging them in a firefight!"

"Nani? Another group?

Baghya Road! "

Murata Takashi really couldn't hold it in any longer.

Why are there enemies wherever I go?

This is totally not giving yourself any chance!

It’s so deceiving!
He suppressed his inner anger and asked the messenger in a cold voice:

"What heavy weapons does this Tubalu regiment have?"

"We saw 12 Type infantry guns.

There are also a dozen or so iron barrel-like weapons, which also seem to be a kind of artillery."

"Damn it! Another artillery battalion!

These damn bunch of country bumpkins, only one artillery battalion is standard equipment for each regiment?
It’s even better than the equipment of my locust army!

Those bastards in the Special Higher Police deserve to die!

They are still reporting to the headquarters every day, saying that the Eighth Route Army only has three bullets!!!"

Murata Takashi roared.

He immediately felt a little regretful that he had driven Nishimori Shigenobu to the east, resulting in him having no one to discuss things with.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to order the 213th Regiment to destroy the enemy regiment, or to stop and retreat immediately, arrange defenses, and camp in the wild.

But since he had already decided to take a gamble, there was no way for him to change his mind now.

After a brief thought, he decisively ordered:
"Order Miyamoto-kun to eliminate this regiment's Tubalu as quickly as possible!

Rush into Qubei County!"

"Hi!"

The messenger agreed and hurried away.

Murata Takasei called the telegraph operator again: "Send a message to Takigawa-kun in Qubei County, asking him to organize troops and rush out from the west gate to join us in attacking the Eighth Route Army!"

"Hi!"

"Order the baggage train and engineering troops behind to speed up and get closer to us!"

"Hi!"

……

After the deployment was completed, Murata Takasei waved his command knife and shouted:

"Warriors, speed up and go to Qubei County to enjoy the beautiful girl!!!"

The Japanese soldiers suffered various attacks today and their spirits were already very low.

Now, after hearing his stimulating words, their eyes suddenly lit up, their morale suddenly boosted, and they rushed forward roaring.

……

Over there on Xigang Mountain.

Yang Yuanshan saw that the Japanese had been burned to the ground by the wall of fire he had created, and their morale had completely collapsed. He immediately felt relieved.

Seeing that it was getting late, he immediately said to Han Yang:

"Let's go back to the headquarters. This place should be stable today. There's no need to keep an eye on it anymore."

"Captain, how about I stay here and command these battalions in the east?"

Han Yang didn't want to go back to the headquarters and stay there. It would be so cool to watch the soldiers beat up the Japanese here!

Yang Yuanshan did not force it and nodded:

"Okay, you stay here. If there is any serious situation, send a telegram or send someone to inform me directly."

"Yes!"

……

He called Wang Ye and hurried to his temporary command post with his guards.

On the way, Yang Yuanshan did not forget to throw some bullets and artillery shells at the positions of the First Battalion and the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion while the soldiers were not paying attention.

With such an intense battle today, they have consumed a lot of ammunition and they have to replenish it.

Some soldiers occasionally found that the ammunition boxes that were originally empty were full of bullets again, but they just thought they had made a mistake and did not take it too seriously.

……

As soon as Yang Yuanshan returned to the temporary command post built with tree branches, he saw Deputy Regiment Commander Zhan Haishan, reporting the situation to the telegraph operator with a serious face.

Seeing him coming back, he hurriedly said:

"Captain, you're finally back.

The situation in the west is not good.”

"Oh, what happened?

Was that the telegram Li Dahe just sent?"

Yang Yuanshan asked with a frown.

"good.

Dahe sent a message saying: At least one regiment of the Japanese was coming towards them and was currently engaging in a gun battle with his artillery company.

The infantry estimated that there would be an exchange of fire in 10 minutes.

However, his scouts observed that there was a large force coming towards them from behind this group of Japanese devils, at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of them!

So I sent a telegram back for help.”

Zhan Haishan nodded.

Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan frowned.

Now, he still has the Second Battalion stationed in the east of Qubei County, the Fifth Battalion in the north, and the guard battalion around him, about 4,500 troops at his disposal, but it is obviously beyond his ability to deal with tens of thousands of Japanese devils.

So he asked Zhan Haishan:
"Haishan, how do you think we should respond?"

"Immediately dispatch the Fifth Battalion to the west to form a corner with the Fourth Battalion and slowly fight the Japanese. Use our firepower to hold them back.

It's getting late now, so it shouldn't be difficult to delay it until dark.

Wait until night, and we will launch a night attack on the Japanese and fight back against them!

Don’t be afraid of their numbers!”

Zhan Haishan answered with confidence.

Yang Yuanshan was not particularly satisfied with this plan. It was too stable and not exciting enough.

But he thought that if he also sent the Second Battalion and the Guard Battalion forward, if any unexpected situation arose, it would be a disaster.

So he nodded and agreed:

"Okay, let's do this first!
Let Zhao Tietou leave behind a company to seal the northern gate of Qubei County.

All other troops, send them to the west to support me, and stop the Japanese as hard as possible, and never let them enter the city smoothly! "

"it is good!"
