I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 945 We can win this battle easily!

Ji Yongcheng and Lu Jilie, with the soldiers of their two regiments and following the guide of the Special Forces Regiment, came to Qipan Mountain.

The soldiers were arranged to rest at the foot of the mountain. The two of them, along with several guards, followed the guide into the mountains and came to the col where the special forces regiment temporarily stored the spoils.

When they saw the densely packed weapons and equipment in the valley, they were both stunned.

Trembling, he asked the special forces soldier who was in charge of guarding the equipment:
"Hey, comrade, are these all the spoils you captured this time?

Is this too much? "

Tang Changmao, the commander of the third company of the first battalion of the special forces regiment, heard the guard battalion soldier who led them recount Yang Yuanshan's order, and hurriedly stepped out to answer:
"Two captains, these are indeed our spoils this time."

"My goodness, how much equipment does this require?
The gains from destroying a division of the Japanese devils are indeed extraordinary!"

Ji Yongcheng and Lu Jilie looked at each other and instantly realized that they were both thinking in their hearts that it was time to fight a big battle and make a fortune!

A man cannot become rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot grow fat without night grass!

……

Tang Changmao smiled slightly, and without further ado, he immediately arranged for the soldiers to bring out the weapons that Yang Yuanshan had promised to give them:
"Two captains, these are the equipment our captain said he would give you. Please check them."

Seeing that the ammunition boxes were all brand new, the two immediately rushed over and opened the lids, then exclaimed, "Ah!"

"This is a brand new Type 38 rifle? The gun oil isn't even dry yet?"

Then Ji Yongcheng asked anxiously:

"Comrade, didn't you capture these weapons from the battlefield?

How come it’s so new?”

Tang Changmao explained casually:
“Our leader has instructed us to give you new ones.

If you don't want it, I have some that are 70% to 80% new or 50% to 60% new. Can I replace them for you?"

"Ah - no need for that. New ones are better! New ones are better!"

Lu Jilie quickly pulled Ji Yongcheng and told him to stop talking nonsense and get people to move the things as soon as possible.

If something unexpected happens to such a good thing and it's gone, you'll regret having invested in it!

Ji Yongcheng also reacted and nodded repeatedly.

Forcefully changing the subject:
"Comrade, your regimental commander also promised to give us grenade launchers and mortars. Where are these?"

Tang Changmao opened several boxes himself:

"Well, it's all here.

This is the Japanese's Type 89 grenade launcher, which can fire at a range of six to seven hundred meters. You should have captured it before.

This is an 81mm mortar, and it's pretty powerful."

"Such new grenade launchers and mortars? The rifling!

I'm going to have to set up an artillery battalion this time!"

Lu Jilie reached out and hugged the barrel of a mortar, and reached in to stroke it carefully.

He was afraid that Yang Yuanshan would give him a few old cannons with the rifling worn out!
But now, he almost couldn't stop laughing!
……

Now his regiment even has two Type 92 infantry guns. Mortars, grenade launchers, etc., are not so attractive to Ji Yongcheng. He asked anxiously:

"And what about the radio? Did your leader remember to tell us about it?"

Tang Changmao shook his head:
"Of course I didn't forget. This radio is not a rare thing in our group!

How could our leader be short of yours?"

Then he arranged for several soldiers to bring in a few boxes, opened them and showed them:
"Captain Ji, this is the Japanese Type 94 radio and its matching hand-cranked generator.

If you can get some batteries, this radio can also be powered by batteries for use in the battlefield."

Batteries are also precious things to our army these days.

Both the seized flashlight and this radio are needed.

So Yang Yuanshan didn't give it to them.

After all, the special forces regiment is equipped with a lot of radios, and the consumption of these things is quite high for battlefield communications.

“Is this radio station so new?

Wow, your special forces regiment really made a fortune this time!
Richer than the landlords!"

Ji Yongcheng felt so envious that his eyes were about to turn red, and he didn't care at all about the battery issue.

In the past, they had fought many battles with the Japanese, but they couldn't even get an old radio!

At most, I got a smashed radio and some parts that I didn't know whether they were broken or not.

Unexpectedly, the Special Forces Regiment took out two brand new ones so quickly and efficiently!

It's so fat that it's oozing with oil!

He knew without thinking that since the Special Forces Regiment could give them such good radios and generators, they must not be lacking them at all!

Thinking of this, he felt sad again.

Jealousy is so severe that the cell wall is breaking apart!
……

Arrange people to move away all the equipment given to them by Tang Changmao.

Ji Yongcheng and Lu Jilie led two regiments of soldiers and turned around to head towards Qubei County.

On the way, the soldiers of the New 7th and New 8th Regiments were naturally very excited.

During the two or three days of fighting in the mountains, the equipment of their two regiments had improved visibly.

Not only has the dream of everyone having a gun been realized, but we can also form an artillery battalion, which instantly makes the army stronger!
Not to mention, I also got a baby radio station!

Some soldiers gently stroked the brand new guns in their hands, as if feeling the power contained in them.

Proudly said:

"This gun is much better than the old slide I used before!
If I meet the Japs again, I will kill them all!"

The new recruits who were assigned guns nodded repeatedly:

"Hey, I have a gun now, so I don't have to swing a sword next time I fight."

……

Ji Yongcheng and Lu Jilie walked in front of the team, listening to the soldiers' discussions, their hearts filled with emotion.

After several months of contact with the Special Forces, their team has grown rapidly, even faster than their efforts over the past year.

The two weakest core regiments in the entire brigade now have only a thousand people each, but each regiment has more than a dozen artillery pieces, thousands of artillery shells, a rifle for each person, and over a hundred thousand rounds of bullets.

It is much stronger than the numbered main regiment in the brigade.

Ji Yongcheng and Lu Jilie were thinking in their hearts that they now dared to compete with Brigade Commander Zhang for the strongest main force regiment in the brigade.

Even if other regiments have more people and the soldiers have a higher level of training than theirs, they can never surpass them in terms of ammunition!

These days, bullets are combat power!
……

As for Yang Yuanshan, he led a large force of special forces and headed north. After spending several hours, they finally arrived at a dense forest only seven or eight kilometers away from the southern wall of Xin County.

Order all the soldiers in the regiment to stop and rest on the spot.

Yang Yuanshan took Han Yang and Zhan Haishan to climb a hillside and observed the terrain to the north through a telescope.

The weather is very good today and the view is excellent. In the field of vision of several people's telescopes, there is a wide grassland in front of them, with no obstructions.

In the middle of the grassland was a road that had obviously been repaired by humans and a railway that had been completely destroyed and the tracks had been removed.

At the end of the plain is a city slightly smaller than Qubei County.

The city walls are high and the gates are closed.

After the three of them observed for a while, Zhan Haishan couldn't help but sigh:

"Captain, it looks like it's not going to be easy to conquer Xin County!

There is such a vast plain in the south of the city that there is no chance to hide at all.

As soon as we rush out of this woods, we will fall into the sight of the Japanese.

They will definitely step up their vigilance and do their best to stop us from attacking the city.

Even their artillery can bombard us from a long distance."

Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly, shook his head and said:
"I have the exact opposite opinion from you."

"Oh? Captain, what do you mean?"

Zhan Haishan asked curiously.

He is an old soldier and has a lot of experience in fighting.

When he was observing the terrain just now, he was silently thinking in his mind how to fight this battle if he were in charge.

However, facing the Xin County seat that stood proudly on the wide plain and was not much different from Qubei County, he could not think of any other good way except to attack it by force.

“Haishan, the strength at hand is different, so the way of fighting is also different.

In the past, our army was short of weapons and ammunition, so we couldn't fight positional warfare with the Japanese, so we could only choose guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, and ambush warfare. Make full use of tactics to gain some advantages.

But now, our special forces regiment is strong enough to fight the Japanese in a fair fight.

Moreover, our artillery power is stronger than that of the Japanese.

Therefore, when we fight, we just need to find a way to fully utilize our firepower.

The terrain outside Xin County is just right for us now!"

After hearing what he said, Zhan Haishan suddenly understood.

Nodding repeatedly:

"Captain, you are right.

All we have to do is position the artillery under the city and fire directly at the Japanese!
Anyway, we have no shortage of ammunition."

Han Yang was holding a map in his hand. He pointed to the east of Xin County and said,
"Captain, that's Jinchang County, right?

The closest point between Jinchang County and Xin County is no more than 10 kilometers away, as shown on the map. Once we attack Xin County, the Japanese in Jinchang will definitely come out to support us, right?"

Yang Yuanshan chuckled:
“Isn’t that just right?

Let's surround the point and attack the reinforcements, and eat up their reinforcements first!

With our regiment's firepower, even if the Japanese sent out one or two battalions, they might not be able to stop one of our battalions!"

As soon as these words came out, Han Yang's eyes lit up.

"Captain, according to what you said, we can easily win this battle?"

"Hey, what else?
With our current equipment, as long as the Japanese bombers don't come to cause trouble, what does it matter if a brigade is stationed in Xinkou?"

Yang Yuanshan smiled proudly.

Zhan Haishan couldn't help but sigh:
“Captain, we are too far away from the brigade and headquarters.

Otherwise, if you keep wasting shells and bullets, you would have been arrested and criticized by the leaders a long time ago. "

Yang Yuanshan chuckled:
“I don’t think so.

We win every battle, and the leader says he won't let me drink every day!"

"Hahaha, Captain, you have a nice idea!"

……

After looking at the terrain and briefly discussing the specific tactics, the three men went down the mountain and returned to the woods, where they called the battalion commanders to deploy the battle plan.

Yang Yuanshan spread out a previously seized map of Jin on the ground, pointed at the map, and said to the battalion commanders:

"Comrades, seven or eight kilometers ahead is the county seat of Xin County.

Behind the county town is Xinkou Pass, which is the core target of our attack this time.

To the east of the county seat is Jinchang County. The two cities are less than 10 kilometers apart and serve as each other's support.

It cannot be ignored.”

"Captain, the terrain of Xinkou Pass is much higher than that of Xin County, and it is also based on the mountains. If we want to seize the pass, we must first capture the county!"

The second battalion commander He Yunfu frowned.

"That's right.

If you want to attack Xinkou, you must first attack Xinxian!"

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Then he said:
“So after discussing with Haishan and Hanyang, we decided to feint an attack on Xin County first to lure the Japanese from Jinchang County out of the city for support, and then eliminate this group of reinforcements and seize Jinchang County.

As our offensive base, we must first establish ourselves invincible, and then we can slowly play with the Japanese!"

"Captain, is this not necessary?

It will be dark in at least three hours. We might as well set up the mountain cannon and fire at the southern wall of Xin County. After the wall is demolished in one fell swoop, we can charge straight into the city.

This way, we can rest in Xin County tonight, capture Xinkou Pass tomorrow, and then turn around and slowly deal with the Japanese in Jinchang County."

Gao Yuanzhi now has 48 mountain cannons. He feels that his strength has increased dramatically and his confidence is overflowing.

I really want to give the Japanese a shocking blow by bombarding the ground with artillery fire.

He immediately jumped out and made a suggestion.

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand:
"If you fight like this and scare the Japanese so much that they dare not come out, won't that be asking for trouble?"

Wang Quanfa asked:
"Captain, haven't the monks sneaked into Xin County? Should we send someone to notify them?

If the monk finds a weak point in the Japanese city defense, we can save some shells."

"This is one of the reasons why I pretended to attack Xin County first. Today I want to scare the Japanese and let the monks get our news.

See if there's any opportunity tonight.

If there is a chance, let's attack tonight.

If there is no chance, then play slowly tomorrow."

Yang Yuanshan explained.

Since the three giants in the regiment have already made the decision, the other battalion commanders did not raise any objections.

They immediately spoke in unison, asking about the specific battle deployment.

"Captain, please give the order. What are the tasks of our battalions?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded and began to call out orders:
"Feng Shuanglin, Guo Youqing, your anti-aircraft artillery battalion, march eastward, choose a suitable location, and establish an air defense position.

Be on guard against Japanese planes bombing from the east at any time.

Xinkou is important. No matter how tight the Japanese air force is, they will probably have to mobilize some bombers.

My request is that you can throw away all the guns of the two anti-aircraft artillery battalions, but you must ensure the safety of the artillery battalion and never let them be bombed!"

"Yes!"

They both shouted in unison.

"Gao Yuanzhi, your artillery battalion, advance to the southeast of Xin County and bombard Jinchang County at the same time.

Wherever the Japanese artillery fire is exposed, you should fire with all your strength and knock out their artillery.

I want to make the little devils tremble under our artillery fire!"

"Yes!"

"He Yunfu, you lead the Second Battalion to advance to the south gate of Xin County and use your artillery company to bombard Xin County and see how the Japanese react.

If they launch a counterattack, Gao Yuanzhi's artillery battalion will help you."

"Yes!"

"Wang Quanfa, Li Dahe, your two battalions will move along the woods in the northeast direction to the south of Jinchang County and be ready to capture Jinchang at any time."

"Yes!"

"Captain, where is our battalion?"

When the Fifth Battalion Commander Zhao Tietou saw that other battalions had received tasks, he asked impatiently.

"Your battalion, along with the guard battalion, will serve as the reserve for the entire regiment."

Yang Yuanshan's casual answer made Zhao Tietou very upset.

"Captain, what is the mission of our tank company?"

Tank company commander Kong Dacheng stepped forward and asked.

"you?"

Yang Yuanshan thought about it for a while and made the arrangements:

"You two should go with Lao He. The terrain in the south of Xin County is quite flat, which is suitable for you to attack and put some pressure on the Japanese."

"Yes!"

“Later, my temporary command center will move to Yuwangling in the northeast.

When the time comes, if there is any situation in your camps, please report to me in time!
I hope this battle can be over within two days!"

Yang Yuanshan gave another serious instruction.

"understand!"

……

After some arrangements, Kong Dacheng led the soldiers of the tank company, filled up the nine tanks with gasoline, and rushed out to the north.

Behind them, He Yunfu led the soldiers of the second battalion and followed closely.

Then the artillery battalion, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, the third battalion, the fourth battalion and other troops began to rush eastward.
