I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 905 Do they have so many shells that there is no place to waste them?

Northeast of Qubei County, in the temporary command post of the Special Forces Regiment.

When Yang Yuanshan heard that Zhan Haishan was going to take the communications and bugle companies to support the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion, he certainly would not agree.

Not to mention how valuable a deputy regiment commander who has fought for many years is to our army, which is short of military cadres.

Even the communicators and buglers have taken a long time to train, and they cannot be used up casually!

He immediately shook his head:
“It hasn’t reached that point yet.”

Then he decisively ordered:

"Telegraph operator, tell Feng Shuanglin of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to level the anti-aircraft guns and fire at the eastern wall of Qubei County!
Aim to bombard the city gate area and support the First Company of the Second Battalion."

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator responded and started sending the message immediately.

"Captain, it's just a little artillery fire. I'm afraid it won't help them much!"

Han Yang reminded.

"Hey, this isn't the only artillery fire we have."

Yang Yuanshan seemed to have thought of something and chuckled.

Then he ordered another telegraph operator:

"Send a telegram to the artillery battalion and order Gao Yuanzhi to divide his mountain artillery into four groups and bombard the inside of the four city gates of Qubei County with all their might!

Don’t the Japanese want to leave the city?
I will make them pay with blood!!!"

Now the artillery battalion of the special forces regiment still has 26 mountain cannons, distributed to four city gates. Each one will be bombarded by six or seven mountain cannons.

It would naturally be much more difficult for the Japanese to successfully break out through the city gate.

You know, the power of the 75mm mountain cannon is not small.

With one shot, everything within a radius of dozens of meters will suffer a devastating blow.

As for the fixed targets like the city gate tunnels, the gunners of the special forces regiment would not deviate from the target no matter what when they bombed them.

Hearing Yang Yuanshan's order, Han Yang and Zhan Haishan couldn't help but nodded repeatedly.

They were not stupid, so they could naturally imagine how miserable the Japanese soldiers in Qubei County would be in a while.

This move is indeed cruel!

Of course, the price is also the waste of a lot of artillery shells.

But for the special forces regiment, does wasting some artillery shells matter?
Zhan Haishan even sighed:
"If we fight like this, I think our comrades in the brother units will be so envious that they'll drool.

My old comrades would never believe that we could fire thousands or tens of thousands of shells in one battle. "

Han Yang also said:

"I'm afraid the brigade commander, division commander, and general manager don't even know when they became so wealthy.
If the Japanese report this to the higher authorities, they will scold us for wasting things.”

“Hahaha, the shells can always be captured, it’s no big deal.

As for your concern about what your leaders think, there is no need to worry.

As long as the leader sends someone to transport it, we can hand over the large amount of shells here!"

Yang Yuanshan laughed.

Afterwards, he added two more safeguards to the East Gate:
"Telegraph operator, order the First Battalion on Xigang Mountain to send a company down the mountain to support the First Company of the Second Battalion."

"Communicator, go to the tank company station in the east and have Kong Dacheng lead the tank company to the position of the first company of the second battalion and use heavy machine guns to shoot at the Japanese!
Practice your machine gun shooting skills!"

"Yes!"

……

As Yang Yuanshan issued these orders.

The situation on the battlefield in Qubei County immediately changed dramatically.

The first was Gao Yuanzhi's artillery battalion. They divided into four groups and began shelling the inside of the four city gates of Qubei County.

The Japanese defenders in the north and west of Qubei County were all speechless when they saw our army's artillery shells falling on the empty inner side of the north gate.

I thought to myself: Do the Eighth Route Army have too many artillery shells and have no place to use them?
Just waste it like this?

Don’t you pay for cannonballs?

Many people even mocked in their hearts: The artillery skills of the Eighth Route Army are too poor!
They can’t even blow up a target as big as the city wall!
What an idiot!
They all deserve to die!
However, the Japanese soldiers at these two places were still in the mood to taunt, but the Japanese soldiers at the south gate and east gate of Qubei County were about to cry. A large number of them were originally lined up inside the city gate, ready to fight their way out of the city.

But now, the shells were pouring down on them, causing heavy casualties on the spot.

The original fierce momentum of charging outward was forced to be interrupted.

The frightened Japanese soldiers could only hide under the city walls on both sides of the city gate under the command of the officers.

……

Murata Takashige of the 33rd Division's temporary command post in the city heard that Nishimori Shigenobu and Hashimoto Kumagoro had sent people to report that they were encountering heavy artillery fire and it was difficult to get out of the city.

I was suddenly as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

Hearing huge artillery fire coming from the four city gates, he hurriedly called the Japanese garrisons at the west and north gates to inquire about the situation.

Hearing that the North Gate and West Gate, which had not taken any action at all, were also subjected to the same fierce bombardment as the East and South Gates, he immediately roared angrily:

“Bagya Road!
Do the Tubalu have so many artillery shells that they have nowhere to waste them?"

……

Afterwards, he paced back and forth in the command center like an ant on a hot pan. After struggling for several minutes, Murata Takasei could only order the telegraph operator to send a message to Jinyang city for help.

At the same time, he sent a messenger to give orders to Nishimori Shigenobu and Hashimoto Kumagoro, asking them to arrange some warriors to use ropes to climb out of the city wall to avoid further bombing at the city gate.

Naturally, Nishimori Shigenobu and Hashimoto Kumagorō were extremely unhappy when they received this order.

He secretly cursed Murata Takasei for being stupid.

In broad daylight, climbing out of the city using a rope, is this giving the enemy a chance to shoot?
But the current situation is difficult, and they can't think of any good solution in a hurry.

I had no choice but to accept the order with the thought of giving it a try.

He began to arrange his soldiers to kick down doors and break into houses to collect ropes.

The people of Qubei County have been hiding in their homes since the fighting broke out yesterday, not daring to go out.

Trying to escape the fighting.

However, nowadays, we still cannot avoid encountering many tragedies of broken families and deaths.

Only those who took refuge in the cellar with their families early on escaped the disaster.

……

The south gate of Qubei County.

He Yunfu and Wang Quanfa looked relieved when they saw the soldiers from the second and third battalions using their violent firepower to easily defeat the Japanese and prevent them from leaving the city.

He Yunfu even suggested to Wang Quanfa:

"Lao Wang, how about we let the main gunner take a break and let the ammunition man go up and fight for a while?
Practice their practical experience.

It's a good opportunity to cool down this general-purpose machine gun as well?
This gun has a fast firing rate and great power, but it gets hot easily, so you have to replace the barrel after a short time of use."

The one-armed king Quanfa carefully observed the situation and nodded:

"I think I can."

Then the two of them immediately sent someone to pass the message.

At this moment, the ammunition handlers, who had been coveting the machine guns for a long time and couldn't wait, immediately grabbed the machine guns excitedly and started firing.

They lacked experience, so the threat they posed to the Japanese was naturally much smaller when they fought.

The Japanese soldiers thought they were running out of bullets, and they started shouting excitedly and rushing forward even faster.

However, after a few minutes, they discovered that this was not the case at all.

These ammunition handlers calmed down after being scolded by the old machine gunners who were acting as ammunition handlers next to them.

The fighting got better and better, and soon the Japanese were suppressed again.

Seeing this, He Yunfu and Wang Quanfa couldn't help but smile.

They all knew that after this battle, the new recruits under their command would grow into veterans.

And the veterans will grow into experienced people.

The survivability on the battlefield will be greatly improved!
