I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 944 Our special forces regiment has destroyed many divisions before!

In the temporary command post of the special forces regiment.

After making all the arrangements, Yang Yuanshan asked the battalion commanders to go their separate ways and take care of their own business, leaving Zhou Xianpei to ask:
"Old Zhou, what is the attitude of the folks in Qubei County towards us?"

“Not very good.

This place is too close to Jinyang City and has been occupied by the Japanese for several years. It has always been heavily garrisoned and our local organization has never been established.

Now we are attacking the city, the bombardment is too fierce, and some villagers have suffered losses. Except for those people who were rescued from the Japanese by the Third Battalion before, others are not very enthusiastic about welcoming us.

In particular, many gentry asked me if we would evacuate quickly after taking over the county town. I couldn't lie, so I could only nod. "

"Well, Lao Zhou, it seems that your work is not going well."

Yang Yuanshan understands the attitude of his fellow villagers very well.

Since the special forces regiment is ready to withdraw at any time, the villagers naturally cannot get close to them casually.

Otherwise, if the Japanese come back and they are reported by some bad elements, the whole family will be finished.

He thought for a moment and said:
"Old Zhou, even if the work is not easy to carry out, we have to carry it out.

I hope you can mobilize those fellow villagers who are loyal to us to move to our Qixia Town.

We don't have air superiority, and we can't occupy Qubei County for a long time and be bombed.

Moreover, once the Japanese get the news of our evacuation, they might send more troops out from Jinyang City.

As long as they don't send too many troops, I will fight back. By then, Qubei County will become a huge meat grinder, and there will be no benefit for the villagers to stay in the city.

If we can evacuate all the folks in this county, even if we let the Japanese retake the city, it will just be an empty city.

They have to consume a lot of resources to restore the city's operation, which is very helpful in consuming the Japanese."

"Okay, I understand.

I will take people to mobilize them right away."

Zhou Xianpei felt a lot of pressure, but he had to take on the task anyway.

……

Just when the special forces regiment was busy in and outside Qubei County.

All our army regiments in Yanbei area, Wutai area, Suinan and other places have received orders from their superiors.

They were required to march south immediately in regiments to the area around Qubei County and Jinyang City to receive weapons and equipment of a division.

When the cadres of each regiment received the news, their first reaction was not ecstasy, but rather they thought their leaders were joking.

Even doubting the authenticity of the order.

The weapons and equipment of a division, is that what our army can even think of?
Some people even felt that this was an attempt to trick them into dying for the Japanese.

Fortunately, at this time, someone received the news through the radio that the special forces regiment had wiped out the Japanese 33rd Division and seized countless spoils.

Then it dawned on me.

While excitedly passing messages to each other, they gathered their troops and quickly marched south.

On the way, the soldiers from each regiment did not know the purpose of the trip and thought they were on a combat mission, so they were all ready to go.

Some soldiers who didn't have guns were naturally thinking that they must find a way to get a gun for this battle.

The cadres of each regiment who knew the inside story were quietly discussing this rare event, and they all felt that it was like pie in the sky.

Everyone thought: The strength of the Northwest Shanxi Special Forces Regiment is too strong. It can actually destroy an entire division of the Japanese devils.

I don’t know what kind of hero Captain Yang is!

……

Xinkou.

The commander of the Japanese 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, Toranosuke Kumo, received a telegram from the commander of the st Army, Kazuo Iwamatsu.

Reporting the annihilation of the 33rd Division.

He immediately felt the hairs on his back stand on end.

He hurriedly called the brigade chief of staff, Colonel Yoshihiro Miyagi, to his side, handed him the telegram in his hand, and said in horror:
"Miyagi-kun, look!
The Eighth Route Army actually defeated the entire 33rd Division of the Locust Army with just one regiment.

Yansong Jun ordered us to hold on to Xinkou and wait for the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade to come to support us. "

"What? The entire 33rd Division... perished in battle?
How can this be? "

Miyagi Yoshihiro's eyes almost popped out and he couldn't help but scream.

Then he snatched the telegram and read it quickly.

After a while, he looked at Yun Sheng Toranosuke with a dejected look:
"Your Excellency, the Brigade Commander, the Tuba Road is so powerful, I am afraid that we are in danger."

“Miyagi-kun, do you think that this Eighth Route Army Special Forces Regiment can quickly rush to seize our Xinkou after defeating the 33rd Division?
Isn't this too arrogant?
After defeating a division, they still have the fighting capacity?"

Yun Sheng Toranosuke's face was full of shock.

Miyagi Kihiro frowned and analyzed with a serious look:
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, you must be on guard!

This Eighth Route Army was able to defeat an entire division of our Locust Army with the strength of one regiment. Its combat power is beyond imagination!
If they strike while the iron is hot and march north to launch a surprise attack, our 9th Brigade will certainly suffer heavy losses.

I suggest that we must immediately strengthen the defense deployment in Xinkou just in case!

It would be best to transfer more troops from the north and deploy them to the south!"

After hearing this, Yunsheng Toranosuke nodded slightly and his expression became serious.

After a brief thought, he gave the order:

“Miyagi-kun is absolutely right.

Immediately pass down the order, urging the entire brigade to enter pre-war alert, reinforce fortifications, increase sentries, and closely monitor surrounding movements.

We will transfer our troops originally deployed in the north to the city wall of Xin County in the south!
At the same time, send out reconnaissance troops to lurk in the mountains and forests in the south to conduct reconnaissance and make sure to grasp the movements of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Hi!"

Miyagi Yoshihiro nodded.

Yunsheng Toranosuke said again:
"Miyagi-kun, since the Commander-in-Chief said the 2nd Brigade will come south to provide support, please help me send them a telegram to urge them to speed up!

But don't forget to remind them to be careful of the Eighth Route Army's interception!
When we were in southeastern Shanxi, and we were heading to the Huting stronghold with the 4th Brigade, the 4th Brigade was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and suffered heavy losses.

Thinking of Pinglu Jun who has been loyal to His Majesty Tianhuang, I want to tear these damned Tubalu into pieces!"

"Hi!"

……

As Yun Sheng Toranosuke's orders were issued, the Xinkou defenders, who were already somewhat nervous, became even busier.

A tense atmosphere began to permeate the air.

……

Outside Qubei County, time passed little by little as the various battalions of the Special Forces Regiment were busy.

After Yang Yuanshan arranged everything, he went to visit each battalion and company and took a look at the situation of each unit.

Seeing that the soldiers were full of energy and high morale after last night's rest, I couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

……

What satisfied him most was that throughout the entire morning, apart from two rounds of reconnaissance planes sent from the east and south, the Japanese did not send any bombers to bomb.

He secretly wondered: Could it be that the Japanese Army Air Force has been transferred to the south to bomb?

So you don't have the resources to bomb yourself?
Thinking of this, he felt that Iwamatsu Kazuo, the commander of the First Army, was too miserable.

In name, he was the commander of the entire Shanxi area, but in reality, he had very few troops at his disposal.

Almost all of them were trapped in various key cities and could not move.

It's just like a big crab with its hands and feet tied up. Although its shell looks very thick, it can't resist even if you poke it with a knife.

……

I had a half-day rest smoothly.

After lunch, Yang Yuanshan left a battalion to guard the retreat route at Xigang Mountain, and transferred a company from their battalion to guard the captured spoils at Qipan Mountain, and then ordered the rest of the regiment to march north.

An army of thousands of people, driving mules and horses, pulling artillery and driving tanks, marched towards Xinkou.

The scouts on bicycles are at the front of the team to scout the situation.

……

Not long after they walked, a scout reported:
"Commander, there are comrades from the 358th and 7th Regiments of the 8th Brigade coming towards us."

"Oh, I'll go take a look."

Yang Yuanshan nodded, and immediately took Wang Ye and several other guards, rode their bicycles, and headed towards the team.

After a while, we saw the new 7th and 8th regiments coming towards us.

Many soldiers were carrying a lot of trophies on their shoulders and in their hands, and they all had smiles on their faces.

Over there, upon hearing that they had encountered the special forces regiment, the commander of the new 7th Regiment, Ji Yongcheng, and the commander of the new 8th Regiment, Lu Jilie, naturally stood out from the crowd and came to see Yang Yuanshan.

……

The three of them met and exchanged some simple greetings. Yang Yuanshan smiled and said:

"Two captains, judging from your appearance, you have gained quite a lot this time!"

"Haha, Captain Yang, it's all thanks to your special forces regiment's attack on Qubei County that the Japanese in Xinkou and Jinyang City didn't come out to reinforce.

Our two regiments destroyed those artillery towers and strongholds without much effort."

Ji Yongcheng laughed out loud. This battle was so exciting!

I feel backed up and feel safe.

Lu Jilie also said:
"We only seized a few hundred guns in total, which is nothing compared to what your group has captured!
You guys took over Qubei County, so you must have taken at least a thousand guns, right?"

Thousands of guns?

That's really looking down on myself!

Seeing that they didn't know yet that they had defeated an entire Japanese division, Yang Yuanshan of course had to inform them of the good news.

Hehe, he started Versailles:

"Captain Lu, we have not only taken over Qubei County in the past three days."

"Oh? The Japanese sent reinforcements from Jinyang City, but were defeated by you?"

Lu Jilie asked curiously.

"That old devil Iwamatsu Kazuo sent a full 2rd Division of more than 33 people to rescue Qubei County, but we wiped them out."

Yang Yuanshan forced himself to remain calm.

But he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

"What? Annihilate an entire division???
Just rely on your special forces group?
Commander Yang, are you kidding me? "

Lu Jilie's mouth was wide open and couldn't close it at all.

Originally, he was proud of himself for having easily captured the artillery tower and the stronghold.

Now compared with the Special Forces Group’s performance, it’s simply—

Nothing!
……

Ji Yongcheng also looked at Yang Yuanshan with disbelief, waiting for the other party to confirm this unbelievable news.

Yang Yuanshan didn't want to keep them waiting, he nodded and said seriously:
"Of course I'm not kidding.

It's just one division. Our special forces group has destroyed many Japanese divisions before."

"Good guy!

Your special forces group is really amazing!"

Lu Jilie and the other man praised in unison and gave a thumbs up.

The two men looked past Yang Yuanshan and looked at the rumbling tanks and the artillery pieces being dragged by mules and horses, and their mouths were watering.

With such powerful equipment, it is very reasonable to destroy an entire division!

Yang Yuanshan quickly said modestly:
"The Japanese are nothing to be afraid of; it was just that our weapons and equipment were not good enough.

Now that we have weapons and equipment, it won’t be difficult to destroy them.”

As soon as he said this, Lu Jilie and the other man became a little withdrawn again.

I thought to myself: Is that human language you're talking about?

Who doesn’t know that it’s easy to defeat the Japanese if we are well-equipped?
But doesn’t that mean I can’t get good equipment?
But then they thought, this special forces regiment had enough equipment to sell outside, so it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what Yang Yuanshan said!
I have the qualifications!

Ji Yongcheng could only quickly change the subject and ask:

"Um... Captain Yang, you told our correspondent that you got the radio, is that true?"

"of course it's true.

In addition to the radio station, there are also weapons and equipment.

How about this, I'll have someone give each of you 500 Type 50 rifles, 6 grenade launchers, and 82 mm mortars?"

Yang Yuanshan spoke inhumanely.

The new 7th and 8th regiments were the first to come and help me, so of course I had to be generous.

Anyway, he had to give away all the weapons of more than a division, so it didn't matter who he gave them to!

"What? In addition to the radio, there are so many weapons?
This... How can this be so embarrassing?"

Lu Jilie rubbed his hands excitedly.

Ji Yongcheng quickly pulled him aside and thanked Yang Yuanshan impatiently:

"Thank you, Captain Yang!

But weapons alone are not enough without bullets and shells."

Lu Jilie also reacted and nodded in agreement:

"That's right, Captain Yang, a fire stick can't kill the Japs!"

“That must be there!

I will give each of your regiment 5 Type 100 bullets, and each unit of mine will be equipped with grenade launcher and mortar shells. How about that?
Are you satisfied? "

Yang Yuanshan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Satisfied! Very satisfied!

Captain Yang, you are so righteous!
So, do you have any tasks that our two groups can help you with?

Just tell me!

Lao Lu and I will never frown!"

Ji Yongcheng almost jumped up with excitement.

There are huge benefits in helping the special forces group!

5 rounds of bullets are enough for each regiment to use for one or two years!
As for the fact that each grenade launcher and mortar was equipped with 100 rounds of shells, it was an astronomical figure that they had never dared to dream of!

It's like pie falling from the sky, no, it's like gold bricks falling from the sky!
"Task?"

Yang Yuanshan pondered for a moment.

He is now going to attack Xinkou. He looks down on the combat effectiveness of the new 7th and 8th Regiments, whose weapons and equipment are poor.

However, he couldn't just pour cold water on other people's enthusiasm.

After thinking for a while, he said:

“Two regiment commanders, all the spoils our regiment has seized this time have been temporarily stored in Qipan Mountain.

You guys go over there with my people to get the equipment first.

Then they moved into Qubei County for garrison.

Help me maintain public order in Qubei County, and keep an eye on the Japs in Jinyang City.

It just so happens that you have attacked those artillery towers and strongholds, and the soldiers need to rest.

If the Japanese send another large force here, you must immediately withdraw from the county and form a corner with the battalion I left on Xigang Mountain to fight the Japanese and prevent them from successfully attacking the rear of my special forces regiment.

how is it? "

"no problem!

Captain Yang, don't worry, our two regiments will ensure that the mission is accomplished!

If the Japanese want to attack you, they have to step over our dead bodies!"

Lu Jilie patted his chest and agreed.

At this moment, his heart was like being scratched by a cat's claws. He wanted to get to Qipan Mountain as soon as possible to see the equipment that Yang Yuanshan had promised to give him.

Ji Yongcheng had the same idea as him, so he nodded without hesitation.

"Well, thank you both captains.

Comrade Zhou Xianpei, the political commissar of our special forces regiment, is still working in Qubei County.

When you arrive in the county, you can send someone to look for him first to avoid any misunderstandings."

Yang Yuanshan gave instructions.

"it is good!"

Ji and Lu quickly agreed.

“By the way, you attacked the artillery towers and strongholds, so there should be some casualties, right?
We have a field hospital in northwest Shanxi. You can arrange for someone to send the wounded to Qixia Town and ask my people to send them to the field hospital for treatment.

There are enough medical equipment and medicines there, and it should be no worse than the field hospital at the headquarters."

Yang Yuanshan saw from afar the soldiers of the New 7th and New 8th Regiments carrying some stretchers, and immediately reminded them.

"What? Better than the field hospital at headquarters?

Captain Yang, you people in Northwest Shanxi are too arrogant! "

Ji Yongcheng was drooling with envy.

I thought to myself: It’s true that people who compare themselves to others are more likely to die!
While I was still secretly happy about my equipment, others had even built a hospital!

"Haha, we have no choice. We have fought many fierce and large battles, so we have to build a hospital."

Yang Yuanshan smiled and waved his hand, inadvertently being Versailles again.

……

After a few words, they finished talking and went their separate ways.

When Yang Yuanshan returned to the special forces regiment, he asked Wang Ye to arrange a soldier from the guard battalion to lead the new 7th and 8th regiments to Qipan Mountain.

Then he led the army and continued to move forward!
