I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 919 Are you going to waste three days just for a county?
Temporary command post of the special forces regiment.

When Yang Yuanshan received Wang Ye’s request, of course he would not refuse.

He immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a message to the artillery battalion and the first anti-aircraft artillery battalion, asking them to stop shelling the east of Qubei County at the time requested by Wang Ye.

Then he asked Han Yang and Zhan Haishan:
"Do you think we should engage in street fighting with the Japanese?

Or after capturing the east gate, stop advancing and fire artillery at the city?"

Han Yang smiled when he heard this:
"Captain, if this problem were to happen in other units of our army, they would definitely have to save ammunition for street fighting.

But we don’t need that, right?

Just set up the artillery and blast the little devils into pieces."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanshan burst into laughter.

Nodding repeatedly:

"Haha, that's right.

We have no shortage of shells, and if we can solve the problem with shells, we should not let the soldiers die."

Zhan Haishan reminded:

“But Commander, there are still our common people in Qubei County.

If you bomb recklessly and accidentally injure a large number of villagers, you will not be able to get past Political Commissar Zhou."

"That's a problem."

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Although these people lived under the rule of the Japanese devils, he could not blame them.

We must not treat them as enemies and bomb them indiscriminately.

So he could only pace around the headquarters for a few steps before he spoke:

“Then we have no choice but to capture all the city walls first, put the cannons and heavy machine guns on them, and aim them at the city.

We will attack them wherever the Japanese show up.

Then let the tank company advance in little by little with the infantry.

Spend more time to slowly wipe out the Japanese in the city."

"Well, this method is safe."

Zhan Haishan and Han Yang both nodded in agreement.

……

After discussing it, Yang Yuanshan gave the order:
“Order all battalions of the regiment to attack the city with all their might.

There's no need to bother with the Japanese.

Tell them that artillery fire should be used first to solve the problem.

Anti-aircraft artillery battalions, tank companies, and artillery battalions are ready to respond to their calls at any time.

Anyone who needs help can send a message. "

He simply used the old American style of infantry and artillery coordination.

The final word was:

“We will try to capture the city wall of Qubei County before dark.

If the Japanese planes don't come to cause trouble tomorrow, I will take over Qubei County!

A small county town has delayed our special forces regiment for three days, which is already enough to give face to the Japanese devils! "

After hearing what he said, Zhan Haishan and Han Yang were speechless.

They all thought in their hearts: Commander, commander, are you going to waste three days just for a county?
The Japanese 33rd Division had more than 2 people. You thought they didn't exist, right?

Are you polite?

If that old devil Okamura knew you were so arrogant, he would probably stab you in the back!

……

As Yang Yuanshan issued the order to attack the city with all his might.

The fighting in the entire Qubei County became more intense.

……

Time goes back to this morning.

The commander of the New Second Regiment, Kong Jie, led more than 2,000 people of the New Second Regiment and traveled all night. They finally arrived at a forest three or four kilometers east of Jinyang Airport to rest.

The scout who was exploring the way ahead told him that they could not go any further.

Ahead of the airport, there is nothing but bare flat land, without even any shelter.

Kong Jie took a puff of his pipe and couldn't help cursing:
"These damn Japanese devils really don't hesitate to spend their blood!

I didn’t even have the chance to get close to the airport.”

He knew without thinking that this was definitely the result of the Japanese conscripting civilians to clear out all the trees, bushes and weeds within a few kilometers outside the airport.

Political Commissar Dou Guangjie said with a smile:
"Old Kong, who made the special forces group launch a surprise attack on the Jinyang Airport before?

The Japanese aren't stupid. When they rebuild the airport, they must be on guard against us coming to mess with them again!"

"Humph, do you think you can stop me like this?

They are dreaming!"

Kong Jie exhaled a puff of smoke.

……

After resting in the woods for a while, the scouts he had sent out earlier came back and reported to him the defense situation of the airport:

"Reporting to the regiment commander and political commissar, the Japanese airport is under very tight defense.

In addition to the many artillery towers forming a tiered defense system within 1000 meters outside the airport, on average every 10 minutes, there are at least two patrol teams of more than people conducting cross-patrols in each direction of the airport.

Besides, there are probably minefields outside the turret defense system. Because the Japanese patrols always follow a fixed route and dare not make a wrong move. "

Kong Jie frowned when he heard this:

"Damn it, this is really hard to handle.

It seems that it is basically impossible for us to get in."

"Yes.

Even if we launch a surprise attack at night, this turret must have searchlights, and we don’t know how many mines the Japanese have buried.”

Dou Guangjie also looked worried.

“It’s hard to fight, but we have to fight!
Now that kid Yang Yuanshan is about to take over Jinyang City. If I, Kong Jie, can't even take over an airport, won't I be laughed at?
We are both the head of the Northwest Shanxi regiment, so I can’t let this guy lag behind me too far!"

Kong Jie made up his mind fiercely.

He then called several battalion commanders under his command to discuss the matter, and then gave the order:

"Ye Shuqiang, arrange a few people to cut off the Japanese's telephone lines for me.

You have to observe carefully for me, the Japs may have several lines, bright or dark, don't miss any of them!"

Although the plan was to launch an attack on the airport at night, cutting the telephone lines was a good job to do during daylight.

——There is a technique to cutting off the telephone line.

It cannot be cut directly, as that would make it too easy for the Japanese line patrollers to discover and repair it.

Instead, you need to cut the copper wire inside without damaging the rubber.

The Japanese engineers didn't even know where to start repairing it.

This kind of technical work is naturally a forte for our troops who are accustomed to guerrilla warfare.

The Japanese soldiers were often made to suffer terribly.

"clear.

Rest assured, Commander, I promise that the Japanese will not be able to restore their telephone communications within two or three days."

The first battalion commander, Ye Shuqiang, patted his chest and made the promise.

He planned to get four or five groups of people to work at the same time, so that each of the Japanese's telephone lines would be cut at four or five points, making it impossible for the Japanese to repair them no matter how hard they tried.

If the Japanese wanted to lay a new telephone line, it would not be a quick task.

"Qiao Youde, arrange a group of people to follow me to the nearby villages and buy some broken horses or old cows from the villagers."

The second battalion commander Qiao Youde was very surprised and asked with a smile:
"Captain, why are you buying these?
Is he going to give us a treat?

How about we just finish winning the battle first?
It would be embarrassing for the soldiers to eat meat before defeating the Japanese!"

Kong Jie waved his pipe and was about to hit him hard:
"A snack? You have a nice thought.

Do you think our group has enough funds?"

"Captain, you want to set up a fire bull formation, right?"

Dou Guangjie revealed the answer.

"That's right. The Japanese have set up a minefield outside the airport and want my soldiers to wade through it. I won't do that.

It would be better to get some cattle and horses back, and wait until dark to help us wade through a bloody road, and by the way, it can also make the Japanese expose their secret sentries. "

Kong Jie explained.

"That's a good idea. I'll do it right away!"

Dou Guangjie nodded and took action immediately.

……

After the arrangements were made, the soldiers of the New Second Regiment began to make intensive preparations for the war.

By noon, all preparations had been basically completed.

Dou Guangjie also returned to the woods with more than twenty sick and old cows and horses that he had bought at a high price.

Kong Jie immediately ordered the soldiers to eat and sleep quickly, and prepare to attack the airport as soon as it got dark.

……

However, at this moment, a telegraph operator suddenly ran over to report to Kong Jie:

"Captain, a telegram from the superiors."

Kong Jie took the telegram and took a look at it, his face suddenly became serious.

To Dou Guangjie, who was eating, exhausted, he said:
"Boss, it looks like our plan to take action tonight has been scrapped."

Dou Guangjie was surprised when he heard this, put down the mixed flour cake in his hand, and asked quickly:
"what happened?"

Before Kong Jie could say anything, an observation post holding a telescope shouted:

"Commander, Political Commissar, look, the Japs have a plane returning to the airport!"

Kong Jie looked up and then said to Dou Guangjie:

"Look, the Japanese planes have landed at the airport after bombing the Special Forces Regiment's position.

Yang Yuanshan judged that they were here to replenish fuel and bombs and prepare to continue bombing.

Our superiors ordered us to launch an attack on the airport immediately and try to destroy these Japanese planes at the airport!

We can’t let them cause trouble for Yang Yuanshan’s special forces.”

Hearing this, Dou Guangjie's face suddenly became long:

"Old Kong, this task is too difficult, isn't it?
We're charging like this in broad daylight?"

“It’s hard but we have to do it!
It just so happens that I want to show Lao Ding, Lao Li and the others that I, Kong Jie, can also fight tough battles!"
