I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 957: Just be happy that you have dry food to eat!

Xin County City, the former headquarters of the Japanese 9th Brigade.

Yang Yuanshan and Han Yang looked and talked, and soon completed a tour of the place.

Just as he was about to go east to check out the situation in Jinchang County, a correspondent rushed in and reported to Yang Yuanshan:
"Commander, our Second Battalion has captured the north gate of Xin County and is now shelling the Japanese at Xinkou Pass!"

"Great! Xin County is now completely in our hands!
Go and have a look! "

Yang Yuanshan took the lead and walked forward.

……

Soon, the two men arrived at the north of Xin County, and climbed up the north city gate amid the sparse bullets from the Japanese.

He Yunfu came forward to remind:

"Captain, this place is too close to Xinkou Pass. It's too dangerous!"

"There is no battlefield without danger. If you are afraid of death, don't go to the battlefield."

Yang Yuanshan retorted casually.

But although he said it, he still squatted down very cautiously, hid behind the battlements of the ruined city wall, and observed the situation of Xinkou Pass with a telescope.

In the field of view of his telescope, the Xinkou Pass City appeared to be two walls in the shape of a figure eight.

It runs in the northeast, southwest and southeast, northwest directions and is built on two ridges.

At the very end of the southwest, it is only three or four hundred meters away from the northern city of Xin County.

Now, there are some Japanese soldiers still lying on the city wall, firing at this side while facing the continuous falling shells. They are hit by shrapnel from time to time and scream in pain.

……

After reviewing the battlefield situation, Yang Yuanshan asked He Yunfu:
"Lao He, how are you going to take down this group of devils?"

He Yunfu had certainly thought about how to fight this battle, and when he heard his question, he answered without hesitation:

"First, fire artillery fire, and then wait for Lao Kong's tank company to be free. They will provide cover in the front while the infantry charges forward to seize the pass.

The Japanese had no anti-tank guns, so even if they attacked from both sides, they could not do anything to Lao Kong's tanks.

As long as there is a breakthrough point, our recoilless guns can be carried to the pass and advance forward little by little."

"Well, there's nothing wrong with this idea, but if the Japanese retreat to the north, we won't be able to stop them.

This is not possible!

I don't want to let go of the little devils who appeared in front of our special forces regiment!"

Yang Yuanshan thought about it.

"Captain, how do you want to fight?"

He Yunfu asked with a frown.

The Japanese were entrenched in the long and narrow city wall and could not be surrounded. It was too difficult to completely wipe them out.

"Don't worry about the battle plan yet. Just keep your men here for today and use infantry artillery to keep the pressure on the Japanese. Don't charge rashly.

I will meet with you guys in the evening to discuss this.

The soldiers who had no shelling missions all withdrew to rest.

When it’s time to eat, eat; when it’s time to sleep, sleep; when it’s time to replenish weapons and ammunition, go find Zhao Tietou.

They cleaned up the battlefield and must have seized a lot of things!"

Yang Yuanshan patted He Yunfu on the shoulder and said decisively.

He Yunfu knew that he felt sorry for the soldiers who had been fighting continuously and were very tired, so he let them take a break.

He nodded immediately and agreed.

"By the way, be prepared for air defense. If the Japanese planes come to bomb, you must hide in time."

Yang Yuanshan reminded again.

"understand!"

……

After leaving the north of Xin County, Yang Yuanshan was too lazy to visit Jinchang County, so he turned around and returned to Yuwangling.

On the way, we passed Gao Yuanzhi's artillery position and stopped to arrange for the other side:
"Yuanzhi, I plan to take over Xinkou Pass tomorrow.

Your artillery battalion can stop and rest now. Remember to find a place to hide the artillery to avoid being bombed by the Japanese."

"Yes! Our artillery shells have almost been used up, so we need to replenish them."

Gao Yuanzhi didn't ask why it had to be postponed until tomorrow and agreed without hesitation.

As the commander of an artillery battalion, he doesn't need to ask so many questions.

"As for the shells, send someone to ask Zhao Tietou later. I'll ask him to be in charge of cleaning up the battlefield in Xin County. Who knows, we might be able to seize some shells."

Yang Yuanshan explained.

"understand!"

……

After leaving Gao Yuanzhi, Yang Yuanshan quickly returned to Yuwangling.

The deputy head of the regiment, Zhan Haishan, who was left behind, was eating some dry food. When he saw them coming back, he came up to them with a worried look on his face:
"Captain, I was just about to send someone to look for you, and you came back."

"Looking for me? Something happened?"

When Yang Yuanshan saw the expression on Zhan Haishan's face, he couldn't help but feel nervous and asked quickly.

“I just received a telegram from my superiors, congratulating us on taking over two counties.

In addition, our superiors also said that they would publicize our achievements widely to evoke a response from the Japanese.

Remind us to be on guard against the Japanese's large reinforcements."

Zhan Haishan explained.

"I see.

Isn’t this just perfect?

The purpose of our proactive attack is to make the Japanese react. If they remain motionless, that would be really troublesome.”

Yang Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there are not two or three divisions surrounding him within two or three days, he will not be afraid at all.

Anyway, it would take two days at most, so he planned to retreat southward, return to Qubei County, and plan to attack Jinyang City.

……

He was away for less than two hours, and apart from Li Yunlong's telegram, nothing else major happened.

After synchronizing information with Zhan Haishan, Yang Yuanshan saw him eating dry food and realized that he was also starving. He quickly asked someone to bring some dry food to him and Han Yang, and started to eat it with cold water.

Han Yang looked at the hard two-grain dough and couldn't help but complain:

"Captain, you just said that we can have hot meals in Xin County, but now give me this!"

Yang Yuanshan rolled his eyes at him:
"You have dry food to eat, so just be happy!

Did you know that the boss is still drinking black bean soup?

If we were not so far away from the headquarters, we would have to support the headquarters with all our food!"

Zhan Haishan also nodded repeatedly:

"Yes, this is the food for our special forces regiment, no doubt about it!"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Han Yang suddenly felt like a frost-bitten eggplant and took a big bite of the pancake in his hand.

……

After simply showing off his late breakfast, Yang Yuanshan heard the fierce artillery fire over there stop.

He was immediately surprised and said:

"This must be because Quanfa and Dahe have finished the work."

Zhan Haishan couldn't believe it:
"Isn't it said that there is a brigade in Jinchang County?

They were completely wiped out in just a few hours?"

"Hehe, I guess their victory news will arrive soon."

Yang Yuanshan chuckled.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a telegraph operator stood up and reported: "Commander, Battalion Commander Wang called!
They said that they, together with the Fourth Battalion, had captured Jinchang County with the assistance of the tank company and had basically wiped out thousands of Japanese devils.

We are now clearing out the remaining enemies and cleaning up the battlefield."

Hearing the telegram, Yang Yuanshan raised his eyebrows at Zhan Haishan and said, "How is it? Am I right?"

Then he gave the order in a deep voice:

"Okay! Call Wang Quanfa back and have them immediately count the casualties and clean up the battlefield as soon as possible. Then leave some troops behind to maintain order in the city, and withdraw the main force to the woods outside the city to rest.

Order Kong Dacheng to immediately withdraw the tanks for maintenance. They have other tasks to do later. Don’t let our precious tanks break down.”

I have to say that the quality of tanks produced by the system is quite impressive. They are completely different from the tanks manufactured by ordinary arsenals, where the engine life is only one or two hundred hours!
……

It can basically be said that victory in the Battle of Xinkou is in sight!

The three giants of the special forces regiment finally relaxed.

They immediately found a place to sit down and rest.

Yang Yuanshan sat on a stone, leaning against the inner wall of the cave. He closed his eyes slightly, focused his attention, and checked in his mind what rewards his system had released.

"Kill the little Japanese infantry*1977, and the reward will be Sanba Daigai*1977, and 6.5 rounds of Arisaka 19mm bullets."

“击杀小鬼子炮兵*183，奖励70毫米榴弹7000发，75毫米榴弹6000发，57毫米高爆弹5000发。”

"Kill the little Japanese telegraph operator*2 and reward 94 Type 2 radio stations."

"Kill *132 little Japanese medical soldiers, and reward 27 boxes of penicillin, 13 boxes of morphine, 25 boxes of medical equipment, 27 boxes of medical bandages, and 40 boxes of medical alcohol."

"Kill the Japs engineers*157, and you will be rewarded with a German-made Type 35 flamethrower*157 and 1570 cans of fuel."

"Kill the little Japanese corps leader*72, reward grenade*72, and grenades 7200 times."

"Kill the little Jaap Sergeant*36, and the reward will be Type 36 light machine gun*7.7, and 3.6 rounds of Arisaka mm bullets."

“击杀小鬼子少尉*27，奖励MG-42通用机枪*27，7.92*57毛瑟步枪弹2.7万发。”

"Kill *15 Little Japanese Lieutenants, and you will be rewarded with *15 Type 1500 Infantry Cannons and rounds of artillery shells."

"Kill *12 little Japanese captains and you will be rewarded with *81 Type 12 1200mm direct-fire infantry cannons and rounds of artillery shells."

"Kill the little Japanese Major*8, and you will be rewarded with 90 Type 8 800mm light mortars and rounds of artillery shells."

“击杀小鬼子中佐*3，奖励41式75毫米山炮*3，榴弹300发。”

“击杀小鬼子大佐*1，奖励M18型57毫米无后坐力炮*8，穿甲弹800发，榴弹800发。”

"Kill the Little Japanese Major General*1, and you will be rewarded with 75 Type 8 640mm mountain cannons and grenades."

From this long list of reward messages, Yang Yuanshan knew that in a morning of fighting, the battalions of the special forces regiment had killed nearly three full-strength infantry battalions of the Japanese devils!
An independent mixed brigade of the Japanese usually had only five or six thousand people.

It can be said that in just this morning's fierce battle, the Japanese's 9th Independent Mixed Brigade had suffered more than half of their casualties!
However, Yang Yuanshan remained calm about these reward equipment.

There is nothing else to it, it’s just too ordinary!

Even if we killed a Japanese major general, it would only take 8 mountain cannons.

There was no surprise at all to him.

……

After looking at the system rewards, Yang Yuanshan felt drowsy and went back to sleep.

I got up too early today, and now that I'm relaxed, I'm feeling a little sleepy.

……

At this moment, in Qubei County.

Su Zhen, the commander of the divisional guard regiment, led the soldiers of the regiment and marched quickly along the Zhengtai Road, traveling day and night, and finally arrived at the foot of Xigang Mountain, breathlessly.

After learning of their identities, the soldiers at the guard post of the 1st Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment immediately reported to the battalion commander Xu Wei.

Xu Wei had learned from Yang Yuanshan that the divisional guard regiment would come to support the troops and transport equipment back, so he immediately sent someone to lead them to Qipan Mountain where the equipment was stored.

On the way, they passed through Qubei County. When the soldiers from the New 358th and 7th Regiments of the 8th Brigade who were standing guard on the city wall saw them, they couldn't help but point and talk, with sympathetic looks on their faces.

At this moment, the soldiers of the divisional guard regiment were wearing tattered gray uniforms. They not only did not have a single grenade launcher or cannon, but they also only had about a hundred rifles. They were all panting and looked very weak.

It was as if they were a group of stragglers who had been chased by the Japanese and had abandoned their weapons and armor.

The soldiers of the New 7th and New 8th Regiments all thought to themselves: Which unit is this?

How could it be so miserable?

It's still a long way behind our basic regiment!
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but hold their heads high and chests puffed out, with a bit of pride on their faces, as if to say: Look at our group, how strong is!
Someone informed the new 7th Regiment leader Ji Yongcheng, who immediately led his men out of the city and asked curiously:

"Comrade, which department are you from?

What are you doing here?
Is it because of the Japanese that we are being chased like this?

How far are they from here?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the divisional guard regiment all looked angry.

The soldier at the front immediately said angrily:

"What nonsense are you talking about?

Who was being hunted by the devils? "

“If there’s no pursuit, then why are you so… so embarrassed?
Judging from your size, you are not a guerrilla force!"

Ji Yongcheng became even more suspicious.

Which guerrilla force could have thousands of people and not be reorganized by the local regular troops?
Isn't that a waste of manpower?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who are the guerrillas?

We are the Northwest Shanxi Division Guard Regiment!"

The soldiers became even angrier.

They are clearly the main force, but they are mistaken for guerrillas. Who can stand this?

"What? Divisional Guard Regiment? That's it???"

Ji Yongcheng was confused and suspected that this group of people were pretending to be him.

How powerful are the troops in northwestern Shanxi?

A special forces regiment can defeat an entire Japanese division, let alone Li Yunlong’s guard regiment!
How could it be so lame?

Isn't that a joke?
Fortunately, at this time, Su Zhen and Fang Dingan from the team stood up, saluted him, and introduced themselves:
"Comrade, I am Su Zhen, the head of the Northwest Shanxi Division Guard Regiment, and this is the political commissar Fang Dingan.

Which part are you from?"

Ji Yongcheng quickly returned the greetings to the two men and then explained his origins.

Upon hearing that they were comrades from the 358th Brigade, Su Zhen and the others were naturally very surprised.

The main force of the 358th Brigade used to be active in northwestern Shanxi. When the two of them were the captain and political commissar of the county brigade, they had a lot of interactions with their comrades in the team and could be considered old acquaintances.

The three of them exchanged greetings and the atmosphere was very warm.

Finally, Ji Yongcheng couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked:
"Captain Su, since you are a guard regiment, why can't you even give everyone a gun now?

Still looking so embarrassed?"

“Haha, since we are here to receive equipment, of course we can’t bring too many weapons.

Otherwise, wouldn't the weight increase on the return trip?"

Su Zhen hurriedly explained.

Receiving equipment?

Ji Yongcheng immediately understood that this must be Qiu Feng who came to attack the Special Forces Regiment.

He instantly exclaimed in his heart: Wow, you guys are so good at this!
Since you have come here like beggars, won’t the generous and magnanimous Captain Yang let you return with a full load?

This... If we had known this would happen, Lao Lu and I should have made the soldiers act more miserable!

Who knows, Captain Yang might give us some more goodies!

What a mistake! What a mistake!

With turbulent waves in his heart, Ji Yongcheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"Captain Su, this move of yours is really brilliant!
I admire you! "

Su Zhen and Fang Ding'an were both confused for a moment, not knowing what the other had imagined.
