I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 954: Captain Kong is too violent!
In the county seat of Xin County.

When Kong Dacheng's tank company, with the soldiers of the fifth battalion, appeared on the inside of the South Gate and began shelling and strafing the Japanese on the city wall, Major Taro Uchiyama, who was in charge of guarding the place, was completely desperate.

After knowing that there was no hope, he ordered a messenger to make a farewell call to the brigade headquarters, and then he waved his command knife and shouted frantically:

"Warriors of the First Squadron, it's a black card! Get on board!"

They launched a desperate charge towards the tanks of the special forces regiment.

Inspired by his squadron leader, the Japanese soldiers also had red eyes.

Shouting the slogan "Aboard! Aboard!", they followed him down the city wall.

Kong Dacheng certainly wouldn't tolerate their suicidal behavior.

At the command, the heavy machine gun on the tank slightly adjusted its angle and fired at them.

"Da da da... da da da..."

After the dense gunfire, these ignorant Japanese remnants completely surrendered to their dog locusts.

……

After destroying these little devils, Kong Dacheng stuck his head out from the tank hatch and shouted orders to the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion following behind their tanks:
"Comrades, hurry up and open the city gates!

Let the comrades from the Second Battalion enter the city!"

Following his order, soldiers from the fifth battalion immediately rushed into the dark city gate and prepared to open it.

But after a moment, they ran out and shouted to Kong Dacheng:
"Captain Kong, the Japanese have blocked the city gate. It's filled with sandbags and stones. I don't know how thick they are!
Comrades need to go in together to move it!"

Kong Dacheng frowned when he heard this.

The fighting is intense right now, so who has the time to dilly-dally and move sandbags?

If the Japanese army counterattacks in large numbers, that would be a huge blow to our good cards.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered:

"Quick, get everyone in the city gate out, we'll open fire immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers from the five battalions immediately came out of the city gate in confusion and watched Kong Dacheng's performance.

After clearing out our soldiers in the city gate, he ordered a Chaffee tank to drive over, facing the city gate, and used the 75mm tank main gun to aim at the sandbags and stones in the city gate and fired a shot.

"boom!"

After a huge cannon blast and a flash of fire, the city gate was filled with smoke and dust, and many of the sandbags and stones that had originally blocked the city gate were blown down.

The power of a 75mm tank gun is not much less than that of the artillery battalion’s mountain gun!

It would be easy to forcibly bomb these sandbags and stones.

When Kong Dacheng saw that this trick was effective, he immediately grinned.

He immediately ordered several soldiers to go up to the city wall and ask the soldiers of the second battalion who were preparing to enter the city outside to avoid the city gate to avoid being accidentally injured by artillery shells.

The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion were stunned as they watched this scene.

I thought to myself: Captain Kong is too violent!

You really don't take the shells seriously!

……

After the soldiers on the city wall reported that the soldiers of the second battalion outside had avoided the city gate, Kong Dacheng ordered his tanks, one after another, to fire at the sandbags and stones in the city gate.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Amid the continuous artillery fire, the remaining shells in several Chaffee tanks were used up.

At this time, not only the sandbags and stones in the city gate were blown down, but the city gate that was originally closed tightly was also blown to pieces.

And this only took five or six minutes.

However, when the smoke and dust cleared, Kong Dacheng saw that although the city gate had been punched through, there were still a large number of scattered sandbags and rubble inside, and the soldiers of the Second Battalion obviously could not enter the city quickly.

At least those artillery pieces and the like couldn't be pushed forward.

He scratched his head and immediately ordered a Chaffee tank to go at full speed and force its way into the obstacle in the city gate.

"Rumble--"

Amid the huge roar, the scattered sandbags and stones seemed as light as feathers in front of the tanks spewing black smoke.

In no time, they were pushed out of the city gate.

Behind the tanks, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion were envious when they saw them using the tanks as bulldozers.

Everyone thinks: This tank is awesome!
I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to be selected to drive this iron thing next time the tank company recruits soldiers!
……

The city gate was forcibly opened by Kong Dacheng, and He Yunfu immediately rushed in with the soldiers of the second battalion.

After learning about the situation in the city, he asked Kong Dacheng:

"Lao Kong, can your tank company still fight?

If you can fight, continue to clear the way ahead and kill your way to the east and north!

Completely occupy the entire city!"

Kong Dacheng immediately patted his chest:
"As long as my tanks still have fuel, our tank company can fight!
If there are no shells, there are still bullets. If there are no bullets, the tracks can still crush you!
Captain He, I'm under your command!
You say how to fight, and we'll fight that way!"

"Okay, let's act now!
Telegraph operator, send a message to the regiment commander, saying that our Second Battalion has entered the city from the South Gate!"

……

At the order, the tanks of the tank company split into two groups, leading the soldiers of the second battalion along the streets towards the east and north gates of Xin County.

The remaining Japanese troops had no anti-tank guns and had no power to resist their urban infantry-tank coordination.

The few explosive packs or cluster grenades that were finally prepared could not get close to the tanks at all, and were killed by the tank's heavy machine guns or the infantry behind the tanks!
……

At this moment, outside the east gate of Xinkou City, Colonel Ando Tsunaiwa was retreating back to the city in a panic with the remaining troops of his 39th Battalion.

Just as they were retreating, soldiers from the third battalion led by Wang Quanfa suddenly caught up with them, rushed at them and attacked them fiercely, causing them to abandon their weapons and weapons and suffer heavy losses.

It was only when the Japanese artillery towers and bunkers outside East City opened fire with heavy machine guns to cover their attack that the soldiers of the Third Battalion stopped their pursuit.

The task Wang Quanfa received was to eliminate the Japanese who were attacking the artillery position and then attack Jinchang County.

Therefore, seeing that there was no chance to completely wipe out this group of Japanese devils, he immediately and decisively gave up the attack and instead led the entire battalion to rush eastward.

……

After entering the city, Ando Tsunaiwa asked a squadron leader to take charge. After counting the number of his men, he was shocked to find that the original battalion of more than a thousand people now had only about four hundred people. He was so angry that his teeth were itching.

This actually demoted him from team leader to squadron leader!
Filled with anger and with nowhere to vent, he could only slap the squadron leader who reported the incident hard in the face.

This guy was so aggrieved that his eyes were filled with tears.

I thought: Why the hell am I so unlucky? I got beaten just for reporting something?

The warriors suffered heavy casualties. Isn't it your fault for the wrong command as the captain?
After beating the man, Ando Tsunayawa felt somewhat relieved, and then he asked Captain Sakurada Yuzhi, the squadron leader stationed at the East Gate:

"Sakurada-kun, what's the situation in the city now?
Have the Tubalu at the West City Gate been driven out?"

Sakurada Yuzhi quickly replied:

"Captain, no.

The Chief of Staff ordered me to abandon the city gate immediately after I meet you and retreat with you to Xinkou Pass."

"What? Retreat to Xinkou Pass?

"Mr. Chief of Staff, have you given up Xin County?"

Andachi Tsunaiwa exclaimed loudly, his face looking very ugly.

Xin County and Xinkou Pass are each other's support. Once lost, the defense of Xinkou Pass will be greatly weakened.

And most importantly, due to its small area, Xinkouguan City did not have much food, ammunition and other supplies stored, and it was simply not enough to hold out for long!

However, he also understood that since Miyagi Yoshihiro chose to abandon Xin County and shrink the defense, it meant that the situation in the city had reached an unmanageable point. This decision must be made!
Hearing the fierce sound of gunfire not far to the west, Anda Tsunayawa immediately shouted:

"Hurry up, turn to Xinkou Pass!"

Then he took the lead and ran north.

In this way, more than 39 people from their 36th Battalion and nearly people from the rd Squadron of the th Battalion joined together and ran wildly towards the north.

After running a short distance, he saw Colonel Naoshige Yoshino, commander of the 36th Battalion, and more than a hundred people from his battalion fleeing from an alley in front.

When I saw their large army, I was instantly surprised, as if I had grabbed a life-saving straw.

I quickly and excitedly called out to them:
"The Eighth Route Army is chasing us. I order you to stop them quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Ando Tsunayanagi was speechless and immediately stood up and shouted:

"Mr. Yoshino, the Chief of Staff has ordered us to retreat completely and not to get entangled with the Tubalu!"

When Yoshino Naoshige saw Adachi Tsunaiwa, a guy with the same military rank as himself, stand up, he immediately became very unhappy.

However, he also knew that it was unrealistic to expect this guy to bring people to help him block the pursuers.

I could only grit my teeth and nod:
"Yoshi! I didn't expect it to be Ando-kun!"

Then he ordered a team leader beside him to lead more than 20 people to block the enemy on the spot, and he took the rest of the people to run to Anda Tsunayawa, joined up with their team, and fled to the north together.

……

On the way, Yoshino Naoshige and Adachi Tsunaiwa informed each other of the intelligence they had, and both felt very pessimistic about the current war situation.

They are all senior military officers, and they can easily understand that without strong support, they will have no chance of winning!

Even if they retreated to Xinkouguan City, they would not be able to hold out for three days under the fierce artillery fire from the Special Forces Regiment!
Just as their team ran across another street and saw the north gate of Xin County in the distance, they suddenly heard a huge roar coming from behind:

"Rumble--"

When Ando Tsunaiwa looked back, he saw several tall chariots coming towards him at high speed.

He immediately exclaimed:
"Baga! The Eighth Route Army tank!"

Before he finished his words, dense stream of heavy machine gun bullets swept over him.

"Da da da... da da da..."

In the Japanese army, dozens of unlucky guys immediately fell to the ground screaming.

The others were so scared that they all hid in the corners.

Some of the mid- and low-ranking officers who reacted quickly shouted angrily:
"Warriors, hurry up, fight back!!!"

Then he stepped forward, ready to set up the heavy machine gun and open fire.

However, those tall tanks did not give them any chance to fight back. Seeing that the street was wide enough for tanks to run, they stepped on the accelerator and rushed over at full speed!
At a speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour, it rushed into their team from four or five hundred meters away in less than a minute, and crushed the Japanese soldiers who were at the back into slag with its tracks.

The screams instantly resounded throughout the northern city of Xin County.

……

After receiving a telegram from He Yunfu saying that the South City Gate was in their hands, Yang Yuanshan left Zhan Haishan to continue to preside over the situation in Yuwangling.

He and Han Yang, along with a dozen guards and a radio, hurried to Xin County.

Soon, he met Wang Ye and the soldiers from the guard battalion at the south gate of the city.

He immediately smiled and asked:

"Wang Ye, you guys are really fast!
What about the casualties? "

But Wang Ye felt very resentful when he heard this, and quickly complained:

"Captain, our guard battalion didn't even get to fight!

There are no casualties!"

"Really? What's going on?"

Yang Yuanshan was a little surprised.

"The Fifth Battalion advanced too quickly. By the time we reached the West City Gate, the Japanese had been driven to the north.

The special warfare company and the sniper company are also very capable. Our guard battalion killed a few lone Japanese soldiers, but we didn't see any large Japanese forces."

Wang Ye explained with an unhappy look on his face.

"Haha, then why don't you go to the north to hunt down the Japanese?"

"Captain, do you think I don't want to? I led my men north and ran into Captain He of the Second Battalion. He said that their Second Battalion could deal with the remaining Japanese troops.

Our guard battalion's duty is to protect the regiment headquarters, so let us wait for you at the south gate."

"Hahaha, okay. What Lao He said is not wrong.

Your guard battalion was originally my last reserve force.

If you don’t get to eat meat, then forget it. There will be another chance in the future.”

Yang Yuanshan laughed.

He patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and continued walking into the city.

Seeing the large number of sandbags and rubble scattered at the city gate, as well as the traces of artillery fire and tank tracks in the city gate, he was naturally quite curious.

After casually asking the soldier who was on guard nearby, he learned that Kong Dacheng opened the city gate in this way, and he could not help but nod his head in praise:

"Dacheng did a great job, he's very smart!"

Han Yang and Wang Ye behind him were speechless upon hearing this.

Wang Ye even thought to himself: Commander, just indulge Kong Dacheng and don’t take the artillery shells and tanks seriously!
If they cause you trouble later, I'll see what you'll do!
……

Yang Yuanshan and his men quickly walked through the city gate and climbed up to the south gate of Xin County.

Just then I saw a red sun rising from the east, and I couldn't help but feel heroic.

He said to Han Yang who was looking around with a telescope:

"In ancient times, Guan Yu killed Hua Xiong with a cup of warm wine. Does this count as us taking over the county? Is there still time for breakfast?"

"Hahaha, that's right!
"Captain, we can have hot meals in Xin County later."

Han Yang was also smiling happily.

In just a few hours, we captured such a large county town and forced an entire brigade of the Japanese to flee in panic. Who else in our army could have done this?

He naturally felt very proud.

Yang Yuanshan picked up the telescope and observed the situation in the entire Xin County. He saw that the only area in the city where there was intense gunfire was the north. He immediately arranged for people to go to the north to check the situation.

……

After a while, He Yunfu came back with the scouts and reported to Yang Yuanshan:

"Captain, the remaining Japanese soldiers have all retreated into Xinkouguan. There are still three or four hundred people blocking us at the north gate. We estimate that within an hour, we will be able to completely capture the north gate.

However, the Xinkou Pass and the northern city wall of Xin County are guarding corners. Even if we take the northern city gate, we will continue to be bombarded by the Japanese. "

Yang Yuanshan didn't care when he heard this, and gave the order decisively:

"Order the attacking troops at the north gate to retreat 800 meters and deploy defenses, and then attack again after Gao Yuanzhi's mountain artillery arrives."

"Telegraph operator, send a message to the artillery battalion and ask them to transfer half of the artillery battalion to the north gate of Xin County!"

He Yunfu was somewhat unhappy when he heard this:

"Captain, is this not necessary?

Our battalion has enough artillery, and if we continue to fight for a while, the Japanese will definitely be finished."

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand:
"If we can use artillery fire to deal with the Japanese, there's no need to fight them to the death!

There must be no civilians in Xinkou Pass. We can just bombard it with mountain cannons. We won't be afraid of accidentally injuring civilians!"

Seeing his firm attitude, He Yunfu could only nod and accept the order:
"Yes!"
