I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 903: When a lion fights a rabbit, he uses all his strength!
In the county seat of Xin County.

At the brigade headquarters of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade.

The brigade commander, Yun Sheng Toranosuke, and his chief of staff, Miyagi Yoshihiro, discussed the matter and finally decided to keep the troops in place for the time being and not rescue the strongholds and artillery towers south of Xin County to prevent them from being defeated by the enemy one by one.

Their independent 9th Mixed Brigade was to guard the entire Xinkou area, and their manpower was not sufficient to be wasted at will!
Of course, they couldn't pretend they knew nothing, so they sent a series of telegrams to Jinyang City to ask for instructions from the First Army Commander Kazuo Iwamatsu.

After all, those strongholds and artillery towers, combined with dozens of Locust Army warriors and a large amount of weapons and equipment, cannot be thrown away and pretended that they never happened.

Iwamatsu Kazuo was greatly surprised when he received their news, and he immediately went to consult Prince Sakehiko of Asaka Palace:

"General, I think the purpose of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Qubei County may not be our Jinyang City.

Our Jinyang City is the strongest city in the world, the Eighth Route Army should not be so arrogant! "

Prince Asaka Sakehiko nodded and understood his thoughts:

"The Tubalu's goal might be Xinkou!
In this way, they may be able to unite with the active Eighth Route Army in the Yanbei area and have a broader depth!
Perhaps, the purpose of their attack this time is to protect the weapons transportation channel between the Russians and them.

To this end, they deliberately used the poorly equipped and insufficiently combat-effective Eighth Route Army in central Hebei as bait to attract the First and Eighth Divisions of the Liaodong Army transferred by General Okamura!
What a powerful trick!

The tough-minded vice president of the Tubalu Army is indeed extraordinary!
What a big deal!!!"

The more he talked, the more he felt that his ideas were correct.

Both eyes sparkled instantly.

——I can only say that invisible imagination is the most deadly!
"Your Excellency the General is right. Perhaps the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi took action this time at the behest of their leaders.

On the surface, the goal was to attack Jinyang City to rescue the Eighth Route Army in Central Hebei.

In fact, once they have attracted our attention to Jinyang City, they will go all out to the north, seize Xinkou, and finally attack Yunzhong, cutting off the connection between our First Army and the garrison in Mengtun!"

Iwamatsu Kazuo also felt that this guess made sense, so he nodded excitedly and threw out all his guesses.

"Yoshi! I think the Tubalu are just daydreaming!"

Although Prince Sakuhiko Asaka felt a little uneasy, he still spoke viciously.

Then he gave the following categorical order:
"Order Yunshengjun to resolutely utilize the favorable terrain and defend the Xinkou area!
Remind him to be on guard against the Eighth Route Army in the Wutai area heading westwards!"

"Hi!"

Iwamatsu Kazuo agreed and felt like he had become a combat staff officer, with countless MMPs in his mind.

……

When Yun Sheng Toranosuke received their telegram, he immediately mobilized troops to firmly defend Xin County, Xinkou Pass and other places. At the same time, he also ordered the 37th Independent Infantry Battalion deployed in Wutai County to strengthen the defense.

……

However, he didn't know that Wei Dayong had already sneaked into his defense zone with the soldiers of the special operations company of the special forces regiment and started reconnaissance work.

……

Over there on the battlefield in Qubei County.

After He Yunfu's Second Battalion's artillery company began to bombard the south city wall, the division commander, Murata Takasei, naturally became anxious.

He immediately sent someone to urge Nishimori Shigenobu to break out as soon as possible.

While Nishimori Shigenobu was reorganizing the few troops allocated to him by the enemy into the 215th Regiment, whose skeleton was still intact, he cursed this bastard in his heart.

After more than an hour, he finally finished organizing his troops.

The commander of the 213th Regiment, Miyamoto Yukisuke, braved the artillery fire and climbed up the south city wall with the lightly wounded soldiers for cover. Then the commander of the 215th Regiment, Colonel Miyajima Etsuki, led more than 2000 soldiers and rushed out of the city.

He Yunfu and Wang Quanfa were very excited when they saw that the Japanese dared to rush out of the city.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to fire at full speed.

The dense barrage of bullets made the Japanese soldiers scream in pain.

……

In the temporary command post of the special forces regiment.

Yang Yuanshan received the telegrams from the Second and Third Battalions, and could not help but smile and said to Han Yang and Zhan Haishan who were also in the headquarters:
"As expected, the Japanese invaders rushed out from the South City Gate.

However, they didn’t know whether they really didn’t have enough troops or were too arrogant, so they only sent more than 2000 people.”

Han Yang smiled and said:

"Isn't this good?

If we can eliminate these 2000 people today, we can launch a full-scale attack on Qubei County tomorrow.

We will definitely be able to take over the entire city in three days at most!"

"Haha, that's right.

The Japanese already lost 7,000 to 8,000 men yesterday. If another 2,000 to 3,000 men die today, half of their division will be gone, and they probably won’t have much combat effectiveness.”

Yang Yuanshan smiled from ear to ear.

Although a Japanese division often has more than 20,000 people, it is quite good if 70% to 80% of them are combatants.

Zhan Haishan said speechlessly:

"Captain, Lao Han, you guys are thinking too well.

Will the Japanese in Jinyang City sit back and watch this division being eaten by us? I estimate that our scouts will come back soon to report that reinforcements have come out of Jinyang City. "

Yang Yuanshan chuckled:
“Hehe, it would be even better if they continue to send reinforcements!

By then, Jinyang City will become increasingly weak.

Who knows, there is a real possibility that we can capture Jinyang City!"

……

Just as the headquarters was filled with an optimistic atmosphere, a scout came rushing back on his bicycle and shouted:

"Captain, the Japanese have sent dozens of trucks out of Jinyang City, seemingly transporting some important supplies!
There are thousands of Japanese infantrymen guarding them, heading straight for Qubei County, and they are moving very fast! "

Hearing this news, Han Yang couldn't help but give Zhan Haishan a blank look and said jokingly:
"Old Zhan, you are such a bad person. You said reinforcements, and now they are coming!"

"Hahaha, you were just hoping that the Japanese would send more reinforcements, why are you now accusing me of being a bad-mouthed person?"

Zhan Haishan laughed out loud.

"Yes, that's right. This is a good thing."

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Then he scratched his head and said:

“But it’s still a bit tricky with thousands of Japanese guarding us.

The military forces we have are stretched to the limit. "

Now the first battalion is at Xigang Mountain, the second and third battalions are at the South Gate, and the fourth and fifth battalions are at the West Gate. It is not suitable to withdraw troops from any of them.

After all, no one knows whether the Japanese will organize a large force and attack from which city gate.

"Captain, we can only send the guard battalion.

There are so many Japanese soldiers, even if they are just the baggage train, we need at least 500 of them to defeat them all."

Han Yang suggested.

Yang Yuanshan nodded after hearing this.

Then he shouted:

"Wang Ye!"

"Yes! Captain, is there a mission?"

The guard battalion commander, Wang Ye, strode in with an excited look on his face.

The other camps fought so fiercely yesterday that he was also itching to fight!
"The Japanese sent out a transport team from Jinyang City, with a size of about a thousand people!
I want you to take the guard battalion and wipe out this group of Japs.

Can you do that? "

"Don't worry, Commander. The Guard Battalion will complete the mission!"

Wang Ye nodded excitedly.

As Yang Yuanshan's guard unit, he knew very well that it was quite good to get a chance to fight.

How can I have the qualifications to choose my opponents for the mission?

Although the baggage train is not satisfying to kill, it is still pretty good with a size of a thousand people.

Isn’t it better than the traitors?

“Well, not only must you complete the task, but you must do it as quickly as possible!
The Japs won’t give us much time.”

Yang Yuanshan gave further instructions.

"Understood! We will definitely work hard!"

Wang Ye's expression became more solemn.

Even if there are thousands of pigs, it would not be easy to kill them all in a short period of time!

Yang Yuanshan thought for a moment and added another layer of insurance for Wang Ye:
“When you march through Xigang Mountain later, send someone to find Guo Youqing and ask him to transfer two machine guns to go with you to speed up your efforts to annihilate the enemy.

Besides, if the Japanese are trying to escape in a truck, you are outnumbered and may not be able to stop them."

"Captain, it's not necessary, right?
Our guard battalion has a lot of light and heavy machine guns.

Aren't Lao Guo and his men's machine guns still waiting for air defense?"

Wang Ye felt that Yang Yuanshan was a little too nervous.

“Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit!

Safety first! "

Yang Yuanshan answered firmly.

Now that we have decided to destroy the Japanese transport convoy, we must strive to be foolproof and must not turn this into a mess!
"Yes!"

Wang Ye yelled and turned away.
