I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 953 The Japanese are sending us warmth!
At the headquarters of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese invaders in Xin County.

Chief of Staff Yoshihiro Miyagi has just given his orders.

He ordered Colonel Ando Tsunaiwa to lead the 39th Infantry Battalion out of the East Gate to support Jinchang County.

However, less than 10 minutes later, he received a call from Colonel Naoshige Yoshino, commander of the 36th Battalion, reporting that the west gate had been attacked.

Miyagi Kihiro suddenly felt a chill all over his body, as if he was poured with a basin of ice water in winter.

He immediately shouted an order:

"Baka! We've fallen into a trap!
Hurry up, order Ando-kun to withdraw immediately!
The real target of the Eighth Route Army’s attack is still Xin County!!!”

……

However, at this moment, Andachi Tsunaiwa had already left the city. How could he send someone to notify the other party to withdraw?
Hearing the increasingly intense gunfire from the west, Miyagi Yoshihiro felt that the situation was very bad.

He walked back and forth in the command center with a frown and looked at the map. He immediately gathered the engineering squadron and communication squadron directly under the brigade, gathering several hundred people. He then distributed the weapons in the brigade's inventory to them, and asked the engineer squadron leader Captain Nishi Michio to lead them to provide emergency support to the West City Gate.

When Tomoo Nishimi received this order, he was naturally confused and stood there in a daze.

I wanted to ask Miyagi Yoshihiro: I'm just an engineer! Are you asking us to die now?

Do you know how difficult it is to train an engineer?

When Miyagi Yoshihiro saw that Nishimi Tomoo did not immediately carry out his order, he became furious and roared:

"Baga! Ximei-kun, are you going to disobey orders on the battlefield and passively avoid fighting???"

Nishimichio finally reacted, and seeing that the other party's right hand had already grasped the command knife, he quickly stood at attention and replied:

"Hey! I'll be there right away!"

……

Soon, Tomoo Nishimi and his men hurried to the vicinity of the west city gate.

However, what they faced were dense bullets and more than a dozen artillery shells fired from the city walls.

These hundreds of people were technical soldiers from the engineering and communications teams, but their fighting will and skills were far behind theirs.

After being beaten so violently, they were defeated in less than ten minutes.

But they wanted to run, but it wasn't that easy.

They saw a team of extremely tall tanks rumbling into the city gate and chasing them. They were so scared that they lost their organization in an instant and fled into the alleys like rats.

……

In fact, ever since the special operations company soldiers opened the city gate, there has been no longer any suspense about the ownership of Xin County.

As the nine tanks of Kong Dacheng's tank company drove into the city gate, no matter how hard the Japanese fought back, they could not change the fact that Xin County had fallen.

After all, it is not an easy task for them to drive out all these tanks!
Under the coordination of infantry and tanks, the Japanese did not have special anti-tank guns, so even if hundreds or thousands of people died, they would not be able to do it.

Behind the tanks, Zhao Tietou also led the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion into the city quickly.

After learning about the situation at the city gate, Zhao Tietou immediately ordered:
"The artillery company and the first company guarded the city gate to prevent the Japanese from counterattacking and to clear out the remaining Japanese soldiers on both sides of the city wall.

Second and third companies, follow the tank company and charge towards the south gate to support the second battalion into the city!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the fifth battalion immediately received the order loudly, and then took action under the leadership of the company commanders.

Zhao Tietou ordered the telegraph operator who was running breathlessly into the city carrying the radio:
"Send a telegram to the regiment commander immediately, and inform him that our Fifth Battalion has seized the west gate of Xin County and is now advancing to the south of the city with the tank company, preparing to support the Second Battalion in entering the city!"

"Yes!"

……

Speaking of the Japanese 39th Infantry Battalion, they followed the order of Miyagi Yoshihiro and rushed out of the East Gate to rescue Jinchang County.

Captain Ando Tsunayawa thought about it and realized that the biggest threat to Jinchang County now was the enemy's mountain artillery unit.

So after he left the city, he did not order his soldiers to head straight to Jinchang County, but instead ran towards the artillery position of the Special Forces Regiment.

At the artillery battalion of the special forces regiment, the sentries deployed by Gao Yuanzhi quickly discovered these hundreds of people.

I hurried over to report:

"Battalion Commander, six or seven hundred Japanese soldiers are coming towards us!

Equipped with grenade launchers and heavy machine guns, but no artillery!"

Gao Yuanzhi frowned when he heard this.

It seemed unrealistic to rely on the heavy machine guns and box guns equipped by the ammunition handlers in their battalion to completely block the attack of six or seven hundred people.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang Gensheng also saw his dilemma and immediately suggested:

"Lao Gao, you lead the gunners to continue bombing, and I will lead the ammunition handlers to hold them off temporarily.

Then we'll send two people to the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion to ask Lao Guo to borrow two machine guns for help. We'll definitely be able to stop this group of Japs!

They are so close to us, and with their artillery, it shouldn’t take them more than 20 minutes.”

Gao Yuanzhi heard this, thought for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Okay, let's do it!
I will send another telegram to the head of the regiment to see what he says!"

"it is good!"

……

Yuwang Ridge.

Temporary command post of the special forces regiment.

After Yang Yuanshan issued the order for the entire army to attack, he stood at the entrance of the cave and observed the situation on the battlefield with a telescope.

Han Yang followed out curiously, looked around with the telescope, and asked in confusion:
"Captain, what are you looking at?

Why can’t I see anything?”

Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly and replied calmly:
"I'm watching for the victory sign."

"A sign of victory? How do you read this thing?"

Han Yang was stunned.

Can this be seen?
Yang Yuanshan explained seriously:

"Look at the sky above the county, there's an air of despair, which means we're going to win, and this is naturally a signal of victory."

“The breath of despair, can you see this?
Captain, please stop lying."

Han Yang rolled his eyes.

"Hahaha, you're not stupid.

If he were a monk, he would definitely believe it."

Yang Yuanshan laughed.

Of course, what he just said was to fool Han Yang.

But I didn't expect that this guy didn't fall for it.

Han Yang was speechless at his bad taste.

I could only turn around and leave.

However, at this time, the deputy head of the group, Zhan Haishan, ran out excitedly and said to Yang Yuanshan:
"Captain, good news! The Fifth Battalion has seized the West City Gate!"

"Great!"

Yang Yuanshan's face was filled with ecstasy.

Once Xin County was captured, the entire Xinkou defense line would be torn open.

With the firepower of the special forces regiment, it will be no difficulty to expand this gap and eventually take over the entire Xinkou area!
It can be said that in this battle, Yang Yuanshan can already report the victory to Li Yunlong!

Han Yang beside him quickly reminded:
"Old Zhan, send a telegram to remind Old Zhao immediately, tell them not to advance rashly, and beware of the Japanese counterattack!

Even if their entire battalion is wiped out, we must defend the city gate!"

Zhan Haishan waved his hand:
"Captain Zhao knows the seriousness of the matter.

He had already arranged for the artillery company and the first company to guard the city gate.

The second and third companies followed the tank company and headed towards the south gate, ready to escort Captain He into the city."

Yang Yuanshan nodded and immediately issued two orders:

"Order Wang Ye to lead the guard battalion into the city from the west gate of Xin County to support the Fifth Battalion!
We ask that all troops entering the city must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, but advance steadily and reduce the casualties among the soldiers!
We don't need to worry now. The ones who should be worried are the devils!"

"Send a telegram to Lao Zhou in Qubei County, asking him to bring the laborers here to transport our wounded back to Qixia Town, and do local work in Xin County and Jinchang County." "Yes!"

Zhan Haishan agreed and immediately arranged for people to carry out the order.

Soon, the guard battalion originally deployed at the foot of Yuwangling Mountain left the reconnaissance company to continue to be responsible for the guard work, and the others, led by the battalion commander Wang Ye, rushed towards the west of Xin County.

……

At this time, another telegraph operator suddenly rushed out and reported to Yang Yuanshan:
"Commander, the artillery battalion called and said that there are six or seven hundred Japanese soldiers coming out of Xin County and heading towards their position.

Now Captain Gao has arranged for Deputy Captain Wang to lead their ammunition handlers equipped with heavy machine guns and box guns to prepare to hold the line, and then send someone to borrow two machine guns from the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion for support.

"Captain, our plan to surround Jinchang and defeat its reinforcements has been successful!"

Han Yang was not surprised but happy.

Yang Yuanshan also nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes, the Japanese are here to bring us warmth!
They wanted to hide in the city, and it was difficult for us to deal with them. Now they dare to show up. We will be embarrassed if we don't deal with them!"

"But Captain, we don't have any reserve troops right now. It may not be easy to deal with these six or seven hundred people."

Han Yang frowned again.

The guard battalion has just been transferred away.

If we send someone to call them back, it would be a bit of a fuss.

“Who said we don’t have a reserve team?
Isn’t Wang Quanfa’s Third Battalion still lurking in the south of Jinchang County?

Now that Xin County has been taken, there is no need to install it in Jinchang County.

Immediately send a telegram to Wang Quanfa to lead his men to kill this group of Japanese devils, and then turn around and attack Jinchang County with the Fourth Battalion. "

"Yes!"

……

Soon, Yang Yuanshan's order was sent to Wang Quanfa.

Without hesitation, Wang Quanfa led the impatient soldiers of the Third Battalion and rushed towards the Japanese 39th Infantry Battalion like a tiger out of a cage.

Speaking of which, the Japanese 39th Infantry Battalion, led by Captain Ando Tsunayawa, rushed towards the artillery position of the Special Forces Regiment.

Soon they reached about seven or eight hundred meters in front of the position without encountering any obstacles.

Adachi Tsunaiwa shouted excitedly:

"Warriors, speed up! It's dark card! Get on board!"

Hearing his order, the Japanese soldiers all showed excitement on their faces, thinking that today would be their day to achieve success. They immediately exerted all their might and continued to run forward.

However, at this moment, more than twenty tongues of fire suddenly appeared in front.

"Zizzizi...zizizi..."

After a terrifying roar like tearing cloth, hundreds of Japanese soldiers who rushed forward the fastest were beaten into bloody gourds.

Seeing this scene, Andachi Tsunayawa's eyes were wide open and he roared loudly:

"Baga! Enemy attack!

Quick, get down!

Heavy machine guns, counterattack! Counterattack! "

However, before his heavy machine gunner could deploy his Type 92 heavy machine gun, a messenger suddenly came running from behind and gave him the order:
"Captain, the Chief of Staff orders you to abandon your mission immediately and head into the city!"

"What? Let's turn in now???
Is this a joke?
My warriors are fighting the enemy!"

Ando Tsunaiwa grabbed the messenger by the collar and glared at him with murderous eyes.

The messenger was trembling with fear, trying hard to hold back his urge to urinate, and explained:

"Captain, it's... it's the Tubalu, they're... they're attacking the west gate of Xin County!"

"Simon? Damn it!

Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west???

Damn Tubalu, so cunning!!!"

Ando Tsunayawa immediately understood why Miyagi Yoshihiro asked them to retreat.

I couldn't help but roar to the sky again.

……

Military orders were difficult to disobey and the situation was urgent. Ando Tsunayanagi did not dare to delay and could only grit his teeth and shout out orders:

"Warriors, the Chief of Staff has ordered us to abandon the attack and move towards the city! Quickly!"

He was smart enough to put the blame for the frequent changes in orders on Miyagi Yoshihiro so as to avoid causing dissatisfaction among his subordinates and causing them to retaliate against him.

When the Japanese soldiers heard his orders, they naturally thought "MMP" countless times.

But some soldiers felt relieved.

The enemy's heavy machine gun firepower was too strong, and they really didn't want to charge forward!
After all, who isn’t afraid of death?
……

At the artillery battalion position, Wang Gensheng was stunned when he saw the Japanese soldiers running away as soon as his side started firing heavy machine guns.

A platoon leader next to him also asked him with an expression that said, "You've taken off your pants, and you're just showing me this":

"Deputy Battalion Commander, the Japs are too cowardly!

What should we do now? "

Wang Gensheng scratched his head.

After a brief thought, he gave the order:
“Go 500 meters ahead, and forget it if you can’t catch up.

Our artillery battalion's mission is to bombard Jinchang County. If the Japanese don't come to provoke us, we can just complete the bombardment mission!"

"Yes!"

The platoon leader received the order loudly, then called on the soldiers to rush forward holding the MG-42 general-purpose machine guns.

The Japanese had no idea that they could charge forward with their heavy machine guns so easily; they were all dumbfounded.

They were killed by them and cried for their parents, suffering heavy losses.

In their hasty escape, they accidentally dropped several of the Type 92 heavy machine guns weighing over 100 kilograms.

It’s a pity that the soldiers of the Special Forces Regiment looked down upon these extremely bulky things and no one ran to pick them up.

……

Of course, Wang Gensheng did not forget to quickly order the telegraph operator to report to Yang Yuanshan the news that the Japanese had escaped.

When Yang Yuanshan received the telegram, he was naturally speechless.

I thought to myself: Are the Japanese getting smarter?

At the slightest sign of trouble, you run faster than a rabbit?

However, he believed that Wang Quanfa would make the right decision on his own after seeing the changes in the enemy situation, so he did not send him another telegram to revoke the order.

……

In Xin County, after the 9th Brigade Chief of Staff Yoshihiro Miyagi sent out his last troops, he immediately ordered the confidential staff to pack up the brigade's confidential documents and retreat to Xinkou Pass.

He was not stupid, and he naturally knew that since the west gate had been broken, the enemy would easily be able to attack his headquarters.

Thirty-six strategies, running is the best strategy.

Sure enough, when he just ran to the Xinkou Pass and called the guards at each city gate to inquire about the situation, he learned from the squadron leader in charge of guarding the south gate of Xin County, Major Taro Uchiyama, that the other side was attacked from both inside and outside by the enemy, suffered heavy losses, and was unable to hold on.

Now the South City Gate was about to fall, and the squadron under his command was about to be destroyed.

Upon hearing this sad news, Yoshihiro Miyagi instantly realized that his dream of being promoted to major general and becoming the commander of the 9th Brigade was about to be shattered.

Not only has the dream of promotion been shattered, but it may even be difficult to save one's life.

After a brief thought, he gritted his teeth and decided to give up struggling and focus on defense.

He called Captain Sakurada Yuzhi, the captain of the 36rd Squadron of the 39th Battalion guarding the east gate of Xin County, and ordered him to withdraw all his troops back to Xinkou Pass to defend it after they were connected to the th Battalion.

Be prepared to hold out and wait for help!
