I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 951 It’s not that we are incompetent, it’s that the Eighth Route Army is too cunning!
The one who rushed into Yang Yuanshan’s command post now was, of course, the sweaty tank company commander Kong Dacheng.

After he withdrew his tank from the battlefield, he arranged for the deputy company commander to lead the soldiers to inspect, refuel and replenish ammunition of the tank.

He himself followed the soldier on guard and ran to Yang Yuanshan to ask for clarification.

Seeing Kong Dacheng's anxious face, Yang Yuanshan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
“Dacheng, of course the reason we asked you to withdraw is because we found a better opportunity.

There is no need to fight the Japs head-on."

“A better chance?

Commander, does that mean our tank company won't be needed?"

Kong Dacheng was very unwilling.

Among the soldiers of the special forces regiment, who wouldn't be happy to hear about war?

It would be so damn uncomfortable to let them stand aside and watch the show!

"of course not."

Yang Yuanshan shook his head and told Kong Dacheng about his adjusted deployment.

Upon hearing that their tank company's mission was to attack the west gate of Xin County early tomorrow morning, Kong Dacheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, he would not be questioned by the soldiers in the company why he could not get the mission from Yang Yuanshan.

Focusing on the war, Kong Dacheng remembered something and quickly reminded:

"Captain, the Japanese have laid minefields in front of the artillery towers and bunkers.

Just now, in order to clear the mines, Lao He ordered the grenade launchers in their camp to fire to clear the mines.

If we attack the west gate tomorrow morning, how will we solve the mine problem?"

"Landmines?"

Yang Yuanshan frowned, thought for a moment and said coldly:
"The Japanese mines are probably anti-personnel mines, not anti-tank mines, which have little power.

Just charge me with your tanks!

Destroy the Japanese artillery towers and bunkers as quickly as possible, and blow up the city gates! "

"Captain, you are gambling!

What if the Japanese really have anti-tank mines and our tanks are destroyed? Wouldn't that be a huge loss for us?"

Zhan Haishan next to him hurriedly stopped him.

Han Yang also said:

"Yes, Captain.

It would be better to let Zhao Tietou use Lao He's method and use a grenade launcher to clear the mines.

Anyway, we have no shortage of ammunition."

"No, tomorrow we will launch a surprise attack, which means we must attack with lightning speed, making it impossible for the Japanese to react and then forcefully seize the gate!

If the delay lasts too long, the special operations and sniper companies in the city may suffer heavy losses.

With the bombardment from the grenade launchers, it was impossible to carve out a completely safe passage in a short period of time."

Yang Yuanshan's attitude was very determined.

Seeing that everyone present was still hesitant, he gave them another reassurance:
“As for the tank damage you’re worried about, I don’t think it’s a big problem.

Just a few tanks, our special forces regiment can afford the loss!

At worst, I can find a way to supplement it later!"

He was naturally thinking about the four Leopard tanks in his system warehouse. At worst, he could just get out these four behemoths and shock the Japanese!
Our tank company will never be without tanks.

Seeing how confident he was, Zhan Haishan and the others stopped talking and all nodded in agreement with his idea.

Who among the cadres of the special forces regiment doesn’t know Yang Yuanshan? He has plenty of ways to get equipment.

No one is stupid. Everyone has their own guesses about the various anomalies in the special forces regiment's equipment.

It's just that no one exposed it.

——It doesn’t matter where the equipment comes from, as long as it can beat the Japanese.

Is there anyone who would like to go back to the era of "Three Guns and Eighth Route Army"?
……

The long day finally passed and it was dark.

The Second Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment outside the South Gate failed to break into the city.

But none of the Japanese soldiers in Xin County dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone knows that night attacks are what the Eighth Route Army is best at!
Night may be more dangerous than day!

……

Colonel Ando Tsunayawa, commander of the 9th Battalion of the 39th Brigade, ran to report to the Chief of Staff of the Brigade, Yoshihiro Miyagi, with a look of dejection on his face:
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the local Eighth Route Army in the city is too cunning. We searched the entire city and only killed seven of them. We were unable to wipe them out completely!"

Upon hearing this, Miyagi Yoshihiro became furious.

Immediately rebuked:

"Baga! You piece of trash!

A brigade can’t catch these local rioters???

How many of them are there?

"My warriors report that there are at least fifty of them, spread all over the city. It seems that they are everywhere!"

Of course, Ando Tsunayawa also knew that he had completely messed up his job.

He could only stammer his answer, with a hint of fear seeming to flash across his eyes.

The scene of those people appearing out of nowhere today and attacking his warriors made him feel scared just thinking about it.

“Bagya Road!
How many of your people did you lose?"

Miyagi Yoshihiro asked again.

"Two hundred people... more than two hundred people!"

Andachi Tsunayawa was about to cry out loud.

"What? You bastard was hunting down a bunch of Tubalu in the city and you lost a squadron???"

Baghya Road! "

Miyagi Yoshihiro raised his hand and wanted to slap him.

But then he saw the military rank on the other's shoulder and restrained himself in an instant.

Cursing inwardly: This damn bastard is actually a colonel like me!!!

Does he deserve it???
However, Adachi Tsunaiwa did not finish his words and continued:

"In addition to the tragic death, more than a hundred people were seriously injured!"

Hearing what he said, Miyagi Yoshihiro almost fainted from anger.

Before, he and Yun Sheng Toranosuke had discussed sending a team out of the city to destroy the dozens of mountain cannons of the Special Forces Regiment.

Now the 39th Battalion has suffered such heavy losses, and what the hell is the city?
Are these hundreds of people going out to deliver food to others?
He immediately yelled with red eyes:

"Damn it! So your 39th Battalion has lost % to % of its combat effectiveness?

How could there be a waste like you in my Empire Locust Army? ? ? ?

How can we get out of the city and attack the artillery positions of the Eighth Route Army?

If we can’t destroy their artillery, then tomorrow, we will all be crushed to death by the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army!!!
You bastard, you ruined the 9th Brigade's plan!!!"

As he cursed, Miyagi Yoshihiro couldn't help but jump up.

He was dancing and gesticulating as if he was possessed by a ghost.

Ando Tsunaiwa felt guilty seeing his crazy look.

But he still insisted:

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, it's not that our warriors are incompetent, it's that the Eighth Route Army is too cunning!
Each of them is equipped with our Locust Army's Type 96 light machine gun and two Mauser C pistols. They are all accurate shooters and have strong combat effectiveness.

Especially good at various tactics such as concealment and ambush!

I have reason to believe that this is the most elite reconnaissance unit of the Eighth Route Army!"

He had no interest in leaving town.

It is obvious that the Eighth Route Army outside the city is now like hungry tigers. Going out of the city would be no different from delivering vegetables. It is better for them to stay in the city and hold on until help!
Hearing this, Miyagi Yoshihiro was naturally secretly shocked.

All personnel are equipped with machine guns, and the firepower is truly terrifying.

But he was not prepared to give this guy a good look, and roared loudly:
"Baga! You loser, you're still making excuses for your own incompetence!
Are the warriors of our 9th Brigade inferior to the Eighth Route Army? It was clearly your fault in command that caused our warriors to die innocently! "

……

While Miyagi Yoshihiro was cursing Andachi Tsunaiwa, Wei Dayong, who had severely dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese today, gathered the special operations company soldiers who were previously scattered around the city and gathered in an abandoned house near the entrance of the tunnel in the west of the city.

After counting the number of men and learning that seven soldiers had died, he could not help but curse:
"You damned little Japs, if you dare to hurt my people, I will crush their egg yolks out."

Afterwards, he listened to the soldiers who had been sent to see Yang Yuanshan earlier and conveyed the regiment's orders.

Upon hearing that Wang Xikui's sniper company would enter the city tonight and join them in capturing the west gate tomorrow morning, Wei Dayong was naturally very excited.

He quickly arranged for the soldiers to eat some dry food and go to bed early.

Of course, Deputy Company Commander Zuo Feng did not forget to arrange several sentries and secret guards to guard the entrance of the tunnel, ready to welcome the sniper company soldiers into the city.

……

The night gradually deepened.

It was completely dark.

The sound of gunfire inside and outside the entire Xin County city stopped.

The world suddenly became quiet.

At first, the Japanese were worried that the special forces regiment outside the city would launch a night attack.

But as time went by and there was no movement outside, they relaxed and began to doze off and fall asleep.

After a day of hard work, who wouldn’t be tired?
……

However, the Chief of Staff of the 9th Brigade Headquarters, Yoshihiro Miyagi, was unable to sleep.

After he reported today's situation to Kazuo Iwamatsu, he walked around in the command center, thinking about the battle situation.

He always felt that something seemed wrong.

The opponent was so aggressive at the beginning of the attack today, but in the end, it was obviously much ado about nothing. It was simply unscientific.

After thinking for a long time, he was still a little worried, so he immediately sent someone to call Colonel Yoshino Naoshige, the captain of the 36th Battalion, and ordered him to patrol the city gates.

After the tragic lesson of Yunsheng Toranosuke who went to patrol the South City Gate today but was shot dead on his way back, Miyagi Yoshihiro would never leave the brigade headquarters even if he was beaten to death.

Yoshino Naoshige was called in late at night in a bad mood and was naturally furious when she was given this task.

But military orders are difficult to disobey. The other party is now responsible for commanding the entire brigade according to Kazuo Iwamatsu's orders. As a colonel and the regiment commander, he can only obey orders obediently.

He took his guards and went to the city wall for a perfunctory walk.

After finding no clues, he returned to his brigade headquarters and went to sleep.

Before going to sleep, he comforted himself: Tomorrow should be the time when the battle is most intense, I am sleeping for the sake of the empire!
……

At 5 o'clock in the morning, in the temporary command post of the Special Forces Regiment on Yuwangling, Yang Yuanshan and others all woke up from their sleep.

After rinsing his mouth, he walked out of the cave. Seeing the dim morning light, he could barely see the road clearly.

He immediately issued five orders:

"Order Gao Yuanzhi to fire with all his might to destroy all the gun towers, bunkers, and gate towers at the south gate of Jinchang County!"

"Order Li Dahe to lead the entire battalion to attack Jinchang County immediately upon hearing the artillery fire!
Use the most violent offensive force to force the Japanese in Jinchang County to ask for help from Xin County!"

"Order Zhao Tietou to lead the fifth battalion to set out immediately. I will give him half an hour to rush to the west gate of Xin County and prepare for the attack!
As soon as the tank company arrives, they will charge and attack the city gates!"

"Order Kong Dacheng's tank company to set out in 20 minutes and attack the west gate of Xin County!

Blow up the Japanese blockhouses and pillboxes outside the west gate, level the mines, and clear the way for the Fifth Battalion.

"Order He Yunfu to continue to feint and attack the south gate of Xin County with all his strength after hearing the artillery battalion's artillery fire!"

"Yes!"

……

As Yang Yuanshan's order was issued, the 48 mountain cannons of Gao Yuanzhi's artillery battalion immediately tore apart the tranquility between heaven and earth.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The huge sound of the cannon woke up everyone within a ten-mile radius.

Yesterday, after they learned that Yang Yuanshan had adjusted his deployment and wanted to attack Jinchang County first, they had already mapped the parameters of the artillery targets in advance. Although it was still dark at this moment, it did not affect the accuracy of their artillery fire.

——It doesn’t matter if it’s inaccurate. We have plenty of shells anyway, and they will explode right on top of you!
As soon as the artillery fire rang out, the Fourth Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, which had been hiding in the woods south of Jinchang County and sleeping, immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed out under the leadership of Battalion Commander Li Dahe.

Rushing towards the south gate of Jinchang County.

When the soldiers of the Third Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment who were still in the woods saw this, they couldn't help but drool with envy.

Someone could not help but pluck up the courage to ask the one-armed battalion commander Wang Quanfa:
"Captain, why does our battalion have to continue to hide?
If we wait any longer, won’t we be unable to eat any meat at all?”

Wang Quanfa's face was grim:
"Stop talking nonsense, the leader has his own arrangements, we just need to obey his orders!"

……

When the special forces regiment launched the attack, the Japanese soldiers of the 38th Independent Infantry Battalion in Jinchang County were naturally awakened immediately.

Hearing the huge and intensive artillery fire, everyone was a little panicked.

Feeling the end is coming.

The captain, Colonel Jiro Aono, rushed out of his room and shouted to the sentry:

"Where are you firing?"

"Captain, there are dense artillery shells coming from the west, hitting the south side of the city!"

A sentry standing guard in the yard answered.

Upon hearing this, Jiro Aono hurriedly picked up his telescope and looked towards the south.

I saw dense black spots falling from the sky over there, like a world-destroying rain of fire.

It made his scalp tingle.

This level of bombardment requires at least an artillery regiment!
He immediately rushed into his command room, called the brigade headquarters, and reported to Miyagi Yoshihiro:

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Eighth Route Army is frantically attacking our Jinchang County.

The enemy has at least one artillery regiment, which is bombarding our southern city defenses with dozens of mountain cannons. The situation is extremely critical!
Request tactical guidance! "

……

At this moment, Yoshihiro Miyagi was just awakened by the sound of cannons.

In a daze, he picked up the phone and frowned when he heard what Jiro Aono said.

He found it very abnormal that the enemy actually gave up attacking Xin County and turned to attack Jinchang County.

He quickly said to Aono Jiro:
"Mr. Aono, I order you, the 38th Battalion, to hold your ground!
I will immediately arrange for warriors to go out of the city to support you!"

"Hey! We are the 38th Battalion, and we swear to be loyal to His Majesty the Heavenly Locust until our death!"

Aono Jiro sang a high note.

……

After hanging up the phone, Miyagi Yoshihiro immediately called Major Taro Uchiyama at the South Gate of Xin County and asked:

"Uchiyama-kun, are the Tubalu troops still outside the South Gate?
What's going on? "

"Your Excellency the Chief of Staff is still here!
And they launched a fierce attack on us again, requesting tactical guidance!!!"

"Uchiyama-kun, isn't your city gate already blocked?
The Eighth Route Army can only rush in if they have wings!

Don't panic, hold your ground!"

Miyagi Yoshihiro hung up the phone with confidence.

My mind was quickly thinking about the intentions of the special forces group.

After a moment, he decided to ask for help from Jinyang City first.

So he ordered the telegraph operator:
"Hurry up, send a telegram to the Commander-in-Chief, reporting that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have launched a full-scale attack on our Xinxian and Jinchang cities!

The warriors of our 9th Brigade fought bravely and killed countless enemies, but due to insufficient artillery strength, we have fallen into a disadvantage. We request tactical guidance!
Extremely urgent! "

After sending the telegram, he called Colonel Ando Tsunaiwa and asked him to lead all the troops of the 39th Battalion to the east gate of Xin County and prepare to leave the city to support Jinchang County.
