I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 946 I can’t wait to deal with the Japanese!
In the woods south of Xin County, after all the battalions and companies of the special forces regiment had taken action, Yang Yuanshan led the Guard Battalion and the 5th Infantry Battalion to Yuwangling.

More than half an hour later, Yang Yuanshan set up his own temporary command post in a hidden cave on Yuwang Ridge.

Then order the telegraph operator:
"Send a telegram to my superiors, informing them that the Special Forces Regiment has arrived at the city of Xin County and is about to launch an attack on Xin County!"

……

Zhaojiayu.

Li Yunlong received a telegram from Yang Yuanshan.

I couldn't help but sigh to Zhao Gang:

"Yang Yuanshan, that bastard, is too quick!
We just captured Qubei County yesterday, and now we’re already at Xin County.

The Japanese were so unlucky to be targeted by this guy.

hey-hey! "

Zhao Gang frowned and asked:
"Old Li, isn't Captain Yang being a little too hasty?
Their soldiers had just fought a bloody battle for three days and wiped out the Japanese 33rd Division. They must be very tired, right?

Moreover, we lost more than 6000 people, with % to % of our troops injured or killed. We did not even wait for the guard regiment you sent to arrive before we went back into battle. It was too hasty!"

"Old Zhao, you have to be anxious!

You have also seen the intelligence and know how great the losses in our Jizhong base area are."

Li Yunlong sighed.

If he had not been the head of the Northwest Shanxi Division, he would have personally led the independent regiment to attack Central Hebei and teach those rampant Japanese invaders a severe lesson.

After he said this, Zhao Gang also fell silent.

Two hours ago, the brigade headquarters forwarded the synchronized intelligence from its superiors: in central Hebei, our regular troops had already lost more than ten thousand people.

Many main forces were dispersed and crippled!
Large areas of the base areas became enemy-occupied areas.

The corpses of our soldiers and fellow villagers are everywhere!

It's like hell!
If the two divisions responsible for the mopping-up operation by the Japanese continue to refuse to retreat, the bases in southern Hebei, northwestern Hebei and other places may also face brutal mopping-up operations.

By then, even southeastern Shanxi, where the headquarters is located, might be in danger!
……

After a long while, Zhao Gang finally came out of his grief and said to Li Yunlong:

"Old Li, let me pass Commander Yang's telegram to the brigade commander at the same time.

See if the brigade commander can coordinate with the comrades in Wutai area to mobilize a small number of troops to attack westward and put some pressure on the Japanese in Xinkou?"

“Well, that’s possible.

Wutai is our old base, and it has a large number of regular troops.

Although a large number of troops have been sent south to support Jizhong, we may be able to transfer more troops to help Yang Yuanshan."

Li Yunlong pondered and nodded.

"Okay, I'll send the message right away."

Zhao Gang took action immediately.

Li Yunlong quickly said:
"Send a telegram to Lao Ding and Lao Xing as well, and ask them if they will not fight again after their weapons are ready!

Don't blame me, it was all thanks to a young man like Yang Yuanshan who did all the work!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gang's face suddenly tensed up and he said quickly:
"Old Li, once you send this telegram, the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment may suffer considerable losses!"

Having worked with Li Yunlong for such a long time, he also knows the tempers of Ding Wei, Xing Zhiguo and others very well.

I know that these brave warriors on the battlefield cannot stand being provoked.

"We can't worry about losses now. The important thing is to mobilize these two divisions of the Japanese devils!

If the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment that I brought up cannot fight tough battles, wouldn’t that be a disgrace to me?”

Li Yunlong was firm in his attitude.

Before his eyes, he seemed to see the soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment fighting hard, while the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment were hiding in the back and watching the show.

How could he endure this?
The palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh!
If Ding Wei and Xing Zhiguo knew what Li Yunlong was thinking now, they would probably feel that he was even more wronged than Dou E, and would personally lead their men to charge forward and die to prove their integrity!
Saying that they are not working hard is not an insult to them, it is an insult to those warriors who are fighting bravely!
Seeing that Li Yunlong was determined, Zhao Gang stopped talking and got to work immediately.

……

Not long after, Zhao Gang's telegram was quickly sent to the two regiments.

When Ding Wei saw the telegram, he was not angry, but smiled and said to Political Commissar Zhong Zhicheng:
"Li Yunlong, this bastard, is trying to provoke me!"

Zhong Zhicheng nodded and said with a sigh:

"Old Ding, it seems that Old Li is really angry this time.

Look at the situation in Ji Zhong that Political Commissar Zhao reported simultaneously. It’s so tragic!

We have to work harder.”

"Well, Lao Zhong, please help me send a message to Lao Li.

Just say that I, Ding Wei, have given him a military order, and that we will definitely take over Puwu County before noon tomorrow!

If the Japanese don't surround us in large numbers, I will lead the troops and continue the attack to the east!
The damned Japanese dared to bully my family, I must give them a good beating! "

Ding Wei made the arrangements with a determined look on his face.

Although Zhong Zhicheng knew that this military order would certainly cause more casualties in the New 1st Regiment, he still nodded to show his agreement:
"it is good!"

As a veteran from western Jiangxi, he is used to seeing sacrifices.

For the sake of the overall situation, not to mention that the losses suffered by the New 1st Regiment were nothing, even if the entire New 1st Regiment was wiped out, he would not frown!
……

On the side of the Independent Regiment, Xing Zhiguo received Zhao Gang's telegram and naturally felt a lot of pressure.

After a hasty discussion with Zhang Dabiao, he mobilized more troops and launched an attack on the Tumen Coal Mine.

Soon the Japanese defenders in the coal mine were defeated and retreated step by step. They sent telegrams for help one after another.

……

Beijing.

The little devil is at the Northern Hebei Front Army Headquarters.

Chief of Staff Seigo Tanabe received emergency telegrams from Tumen Coal Mine and Puwu County and immediately felt that something was wrong.

Although these two places had often been attacked by guerrillas before, those guerrillas had never had artillery!
He hurried to find Commander Okamura Jining.

"Commander, here are two pieces of information that I think are worthy of vigilance."

Okamura Ji Ning took the telegram and looked at it, then sneered:
"It's nothing more than a crude strategy of the Eighth Route Army to save Zhao from Wei!

Don't bother.

Not only these two places, the Eighth Route Army in Taiyue area are also moving!

Their purpose should be the same!"

"Commander, are you saying that the main force of the Eighth Route Army deliberately attacked these areas in order to make us give up the mopping-up of the Eighth Route Army in Central Hebei?"

"That's right! It seems that our raid has caused great pain to the Tubalu!"

Okamura Ji Ning was a little proud.

"But Commander, if we ignore them, the Tubalu will definitely become more aggressive!
Once the key areas of Jixi and Shimen suffer losses, the situation in northern Ji will become extremely bad!"

Tanabe Seigo reminded.

"Hmph, order the locust warriors from all regions to step up their guard and hold their respective defense areas.

Reinforcements will arrive soon.

Send a telegram to Nakazawa-kun of the 1st Division and Honda-kun of the 8th Division, ordering them to speed up the elimination of the Eighth Route Army!

I can give them another week at most!"

Okamura Ji Ning pondered and gave the order.

He would never believe that his brave warriors defending the cities in various places could not even hold out for a week.

"Hi!"

……

In an abandoned house west of Xin County, Wei Dayong, the company commander of the special operations company of the special forces regiment, and several platoon leaders under his command were sitting in a dilapidated room holding a meeting to summarize the intelligence obtained from scattered reconnaissance.

Finally, Wei Dayong said to the platoon leader Ding Zhanbiao:

"Biaozi, have you figured out the tunnel you found?

Where is the exit?

After the special operations company made repeated contributions, Zuo Feng, the original platoon leader, was promoted by Yang Yuanshan to deputy company commander of the special operations company.

Ding Zhanbiao, the original deputy platoon leader, naturally took over the position of platoon leader.

These days, when they were investigating in Xin County, they heard from an old man that there was a tunnel in a dilapidated house at the foot of the west city wall that could be used to sneak out of the city.

Wei Dayong immediately sent Ding Zhanbiao to take a few people to explore the situation in the tunnel.

"Captain, we have found out that this tunnel is real.

The exit is behind a dirt slope a few hundred meters outside the west city, and only a hundred meters away from the Japanese artillery tower outside the west city gate.

But the tunnel was very narrow, and only one person could crawl out at a time, and they could only go forward, not backward. When I was crawling out, I almost got stuck.

It would be difficult to get the regiment to send a large number of troops to sneak in through the tunnels."

Ding Zhanbiao told everyone the information he knew.

"Damn it, the guy who dug the tunnel didn't even know to make it wider!"

Wei Dayong couldn't help but complain.

Deputy Company Commander Zuo Feng said with a smile:
"Captain, this tunnel leading to the outside of the city is a huge undertaking.

It takes a lot of effort to get one person out, and if you want them to dig wider, it will take years!"

"Hehe, that's true."

Wei Dayong scratched his head and chuckled.

"Captain, what should we do now?
Has the team leader sent any new orders?

Didn't we send someone over the wall to report the situation to the leader?"

Lu Yuhao from the third row asked curiously.

"Without the commander's orders, can we not fight?

I figured that most of our equipment was in the woods outside the city, and we only had a box gun with not many bullets, so it wouldn't be very useful.

There happens to be a tunnel right now, so we should get our weapons in first.

By then, it will be useful whether it is to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese headquarters or to attack the city gates."

Wei Dayong pondered.

When they sneaked into Xin County before, they naturally couldn't take the light and heavy machine guns, rifles, etc. with them.

So everyone only carried a bayonet, a box gun, and some bullets.

These weapons and equipment are sufficient for self-defense.

But it is obviously not enough to fight the Japanese head-on.

“I think so.

It is better to act later and try to get all the equipment in tonight to avoid more trouble later."

Zuo Feng suggested, nodding his head.

"Well, let's do it!"

Wei Dayong made the final decision.

Then he ordered Ding Zhanbiao:
"Biaozi, pick out the thin and small ones among our people, and immediately crawl out of the city through the tunnel and bring in our weapons and equipment."

"Yes!"

Ding Zhanbiao immediately received the order.

Second Platoon Leader Gao Daniu quickly asked:
"Captain, what should the rest of us do?"

Wei Dayong was about to let them go to the city to cause trouble for the Japanese with a grim smile, but Zuo Feng quickly spoke up:
"Of course, we have to guard the tunnel entrance and prevent the Japanese from finding any clues!
No matter what we want to do, we have to wait until Biaozi and the others bring back the equipment."

After his reminder, Wei Dayong also reacted and nodded repeatedly:
"Hit! Just do it!"

……

After the discussion was finalized, Wei Dayong immediately arranged for the soldiers to take action.

Zuo Feng reminded again:
"Captain, we have to inform the regiment commander about this underground matter.

If the regiment commander could send us three to five hundred soldiers, we would definitely be able to easily capture the gate of Xin County!"

"No need. As long as our weapons enter the city, once the regiment commander and his men arrive, I will lead you to attack the Japanese's south gate at night, right?"

After experiencing countless dangerous battles, Wei Dayong has absolute confidence in the strength of his special operations company.

I just want to rush forward.

Zuo Feng was a little speechless and rolled his eyes to stop him:

"Captain, haven't you noticed that the Japanese have stepped up their guard these days?

No matter how powerful our special operations company is, we still have few people and no artillery. It is too difficult to take the city gate!
Even if the commander only sends Xizi's sniper company to us, our chances of winning will be greatly increased."

"Okay, okay, I get it.

I have discovered, Zuo Feng, that after becoming the deputy company commander, you are becoming more and more like the political commissar!

Biaozi, after you leave the city, send someone to report to the group leader."

Wei Dayong waved his hands impatiently.

Zuo Feng heard this and thought: Do you think I'm willing?
Didn’t the regiment commander and the political commissar talk to me privately and asked me to keep an eye on you?
……

The soldiers of the special operations company, led by Wei Dayong, quietly lurked outside the dilapidated house at the foot of the west city wall.

Ding Zhanbiao led more than 20 thin soldiers and began to sneak into the broken house, file into the tunnel, and crawl out of the city.

About two hours later, Ding Zhanbiao, covered in dirt, came out of the dilapidated house, dragging several machine guns and a batch of bullets with his pants.

Wei Dayong rushed over and took the things from him, then asked:

"Biaozi, is everything alright?"

"No."

"That's good."

Wei Dayong also breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been waiting anxiously for the past two hours.

Ignoring Zuo Feng's objections, they tried to go into the tunnel and take a look themselves.

It’s a pity that the entrance to the tunnel is very narrow, and he can’t get in with his body!

……

As Ding Zhanbiao crawled out of the tunnel, the soldiers who had gone with him outside the city to get equipment also crawled out one after another.

The soldiers of the special operations company were given light and heavy machine guns, and their waists were stuffed with magazines and ammunition belts. They instantly felt their backs became much stronger.

However, before all the soldiers in the tunnel came out, there was a burst of artillery fire from outside the south city gate.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Upon hearing the sound of artillery fire, the faces of the special operations company soldiers changed immediately.

However, Wei Dayong said excitedly:

"Comrades, this must be the regiment commander and his men here!
Hurry up, pack up your equipment and get ready for battle!
I can't wait to take care of the little devils!"

……

On the Xinkou Pass.

Major General Kumo Toranosuke, commander of the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, and his chief of staff, Colonel Miyagi Yoshihiro, were inspecting the defensive preparations at the fortress.

Originally, their alert direction was towards the north.

This has also been the defensive direction of Xinkou Pass for hundreds of years.

But in the past two days, upon learning that a battle had taken place in the south, Yun Sheng Toranosuke immediately ordered his troops to turn their alert direction to the south and prepare to defend against the enemy in the direction of Xin County.

At this moment, he was very satisfied with the defense of Guancheng. He kept nodding his head and praising Lieutenant Colonel Katsusei Horiuchi, the commander of the 40th Independent Infantry Battalion.

However, at this moment, an emergency call suddenly came to Guancheng, reporting to him:
"Your Excellency, Commander of the Brigade, we sent out scouts outside the city to report back that a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers were spotted five or six kilometers south of Xin County, heading towards our county!

The estimated size is a regiment, with nine tall chariots!

There seem to be more troops behind them!"

When Yun Sheng Toranosuke heard this, his face naturally became serious and he gave a loud order:

"Miyagi-kun, let's go and take a look!

This damned bunch of rats really came to attack my Xinkou!"

"Hi!"

Miyagi Yoshihiro agreed and followed him to the foot of the city wall.

However, before they returned to the brigade headquarters located in a large mansion in Xin County, they heard artillery fire from the south.

Yun Sheng Toranosuke immediately roared:

"Baga! The Eighth Route Army actually has so many Type 92 infantry guns!
Hurry up, order the artillery squadron to counterattack resolutely!
Shoot down the Tubalu's artillery!!!"
