I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 959 If I pretend to be pitiful to you now, do I still have a chance to get support?
Let’s talk about Su Zhen from the divisional guard regiment.

He took the cadres of the regiment to the foot of Qipan Mountain to learn how to ride a bicycle.

Many people were bruised and battered.

But everyone's morale was high, and no one complained or wailed.

——How many people would be envious of being able to ride a bicycle instead of traveling on foot?

They were all excited and thrilled!
What's more, they are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, so what does a mere wrestling matter?
As long as you can still move, keep learning!
……

It took more than two hours, but everyone in the guard regiment finally learned how to ride properly and was able to ride their bikes.

Then Su Zhen took his men, tied the 72 light and heavy machine guns and corresponding bullets to the back seats of bicycles, and began to transport them away.

——As for the artillery, it is more convenient to transport it by mule and horse carts, so it can only be stored in Qipan Mountain for now. Please ask Zhao Li to arrange someone to help watch over it and transport it later.

Soon, nearly 300 bicycles of Su Zhen and others were zigzagging back the way they came.

The silver-glittering bicycle looked like a silver dragon, swimming towards the distance.

At first the pace was very slow and some soldiers fell from time to time.

But as everyone became more and more skilled in riding, the speed suddenly increased.

People could even chat excitedly while riding.

What are the contents naturally?
"This bicycle is so convenient!"

"It's so fast! It's as fast as riding a horse!"

"I don't feel tired even though I'm carrying so many things!"

"Yeah, I also feel that the bullets I carry are still too few, I should add two or three more boxes!"

"I think this is Prince Nezha's Wind-Fire Wheels! I never thought that I would get to ride on Wind-Fire Wheels!"

……

Soon, this "silver dragon" of the divisional guard regiment passed through the county seat of Qubei County.

On the city wall, the soldiers of the New 7th and New 8th Regiments were all stunned when they saw such a large-scale bicycle team.

I was instantly drooling with envy.

Especially the new 7th Regiment Commander Ji Yongcheng, who happened to be on the city wall, recognized these people as the beggar troops that passed by earlier.

Northwest Shanxi District Guard Regiment!

He immediately understood that these bicycles must have been provided to them by the special forces regiment.

My eyes widened on the spot!
Riding this thing feels like flying!

I couldn't help but roar in my heart: No wonder these guys just pretended to be in disarray and in a state of utter shame, it turns out it was because of this!

Unexpectedly, pretending to be pitiful in front of the special forces regiment can get more help!
Captain Yang, Captain Yang, how about I assemble one for you now, can you also support me with a batch of bicycles?

I’m not greedy. I’ll just get twenty or thirty bicycles and set up a bicycle communication platoon.

……

On the Xinkou battlefield.

Yang Yuanshan took a nap in the temporary command post in Yuwangling.

About an hour later, Zhao Tietou rushed in and woke him up:

"Captain, the battlefield in Xin County has been cleaned up.

We killed at least a thousand Japanese devils!

Many bodies were blown up by shells or crushed by tank tracks, so it’s impossible to count them.”

Yang Yuanshan stood up, took a drink from the kettle, and nodded:
"Yes, Not Bad.

What about the casualties of each unit? "

“Very few casualties!
Our Fifth Battalion suffered seventy to eighty casualties, while the Special Operations Company and the Sniper Company each suffered more than a dozen casualties.

The casualties in the second battalion were slightly greater. Lao He said that 50 to 60 people were killed and 70 to 80 were seriously injured.

"Okay! Well done!"

Yang Yuanshan was very happy.

With less than 300 casualties, they took over a county town. Even someone as demanding as him could not find any fault with it.

After all, the Japanese are not made of clay!

The trapped beast will still fight. Even if the special forces regiment’s artillery fire is fierce, casualties cannot be completely avoided!
Han Yang beside him asked quickly:
"Iron Head, what about the captured items?

In such an important county, have you found anything good? "

"Good stuff? It seems like nothing.

We seized a lot of various broken weapons, including Type 38 rifles, crooked-handled rifles, turtle boxes, Type 92 heavy machine guns, etc. I didn't let the soldiers take a detailed inventory.

We do have a large supply of artillery shells, and I have asked each battalion to get them as needed.

As for the artillery, they were all destroyed, not a single good piece was found."

Zhao Tietou replied with a frown.

If comrades from other troops heard what he said, they would probably jump up, grab his neck and ask: When did the Type 38 rifle and Type 92 heavy machine gun become scraps?

Are you speaking in human language?

However, Han Yang did not object to his words, but complained in disappointment:
"Are these damned little devils so miserable?

They don’t even have many Type 92 infantry guns in their warehouse?
After all, it is a vital point heavily defended by a brigade!
How poor! "

Yang Yuanshan was not disappointed, and said with a smile:
"Han Yang, don't you think about this? If the Japanese still have infantry artillery, why don't they use it?

Still in the warehouse, waiting to give birth?"

"Haha, that's true."

Han Yang smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands.

"Tietou, did you seize any food supplies or anything?

These things are more important to us than weapons right now!"

Yang Yuanshan asked seriously.

They rushed to Xin County from Qubei County, but they only brought some dry food with them. If they couldn't seize any food, the soldiers would have to go hungry tonight.

As for sending people back to transport grain?
That would be too troublesome, and the waste would be huge as people would eat and horses would chew.

"Yes. We found two large grain warehouses, one of which was full of bags of flour.

It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of bags.

Next to it were thousands of boxes of the Japanese canned beef, sake, biscuits and other things.

Another warehouse is filled with millet, sorghum, black beans and so on.

It is estimated to be at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms.

Pork, poultry, livestock, etc., not much."

Zhao Tietou answered quickly.

"That's pretty much it."

Yang Yuanshan nodded happily.

For him, the most annoying thing is that the dog system does not drop food.

The food in these two warehouses should be enough for the entire regiment to eat for two months.

"Captain, I guess that white flour is military supplies that the Japanese brought in from other places.

Let’s store them in Xin County for the time being.

As for the millet and sorghum, they must have been looted from around here."

Zhan Haishan Road.

"possible.

But no matter what, once these grains are in our hands, they are ours. "

For Yang Yuanshan, “It doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat.”

"Iron Head, besides food, is there anything else?"

Yang Yuanshan asked again.

"There are also two or three thousand Japanese military uniforms, a large amount of cloth, various valuables, medicines, quilts and so on."

"Not bad, not bad. These are all good things, we can all use them.

When Lao Zhou comes, hand the things over to him and ask him to arrange someone to transport them back to Qixia Town.

Not a bit less!"

"Yes!"

“Iron Head, you must go back immediately. Leave a small number of soldiers in the city to maintain order, and have the majority of the people retreat to the woods outside the city to rest.

Tell Wei Dayong and Wang Xikui to reorganize their team and come back to me.

In addition, we need to mobilize the people in the city to help us make fire and cook.

Didn’t you seize so much flour?
Let the villagers make us a batch of white flour buns!
Then kill or stew the pork, poultry and other animals, and let the soldiers eat their fill of white flour buns and drink meat soup at noon!
The remaining food will all be made into dry food. It is hard to say how long we will have to fight this war, so it is better to prepare more dry food so that it will not be wasted."

Yang Yuanshan arranged.

"Understood!" Zhao Tietou agreed and took action immediately.

……

As soon as Zhao Tietou left, Wang Quanfa and Li Dahe hurried over and reported to them the situation in Jinchang County.

After capturing Jinchang County, thanks to the fierce artillery fire of the artillery battalion and the cover of the tank company, the casualties of their two battalions were not heavy.

In total, less than 9 people were killed and about 38 were seriously injured, but the th Infantry Battalion of the th Brigade of the Japanese were completely wiped out.

However, the amount of spoils seized was far inferior to that in Xin County.

Apart from a battalion of light weapons seized on the battlefield, not much valuable was seized.

There was not much food and cloth, the supplies that the secret service regiment urgently needed.

Yang Yuanshan was very disappointed.

However, when he thought about it, he realized that the Japanese might have stockpiled most of the supplies in Xin County and prepared to transport them via the Zhengtai Road, which was why this happened.

Therefore, he didn't care too much.

Two people were also arranged to go back and evacuate the soldiers to the woods outside the city to rest, while mobilizing the people in the city to help them make fire and cook.

……

After sending away the battalion commanders, Yang Yuanshan ordered the telegraph operator:

"Send a telegram to Zhaojiayu, reporting that our special forces regiment has completely captured Xinxian and Jinchang counties at the cost of 600 casualties.

Plan to rest for half a day today.

Starting tomorrow, the main force will launch an attack on Xinkou Pass, and a detachment will attack Wutai County to the east."

Hearing his order, Zhan Haishan quickly reminded:

"Captain, isn't it unsafe to fight on two fronts at the same time?

According to the intelligence gathered by Captain Wei, there is still an infantry battalion of the Japanese in Wutai County, which is not easy to deal with.

I suggest that we first focus on capturing Xinkou Pass, and then send two battalions eastward to attack Wutai.

By then, no matter whether the Japanese reinforcements come or not, we can attack or defend."

Hearing this idea, Han Yang nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Captain!

Our battalions have been fighting for such a long time. Although the organization is still there, we have lost a lot of personnel. Let's be cautious!"

Yang Yuanshan was not someone who would not listen to opinions. Seeing that the two of them agreed, he thought about it for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, let's do this first."

Then he revised the order to the telegraph operator:
"Tell the leader that our plan for tomorrow is to completely wipe out the Japanese in Xinkou Pass!"

The telegraph operator understood what he meant after listening to their discussion and immediately agreed:

"Yes!"

Then he prepared to sit down and send the message.

However, at this moment, the other telegraph operator suddenly took off his headphones in panic, stood up, and said to Yang Yuanshan:

"Commander, Captain Feng of the 1st Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion reports that their observation post has discovered a large number of Japanese planes approaching from the east!"

"What? A large number of planes?

Damn it, this must be a Japanese bomber.

Quick, send a message to all the battalions immediately, tell them to hide as much as possible, beware of the Japanese bombing!"

Yang Yuanshan's face changed drastically and he immediately gave the order.

Then he rushed out of the cave and looked towards the sky to the east.

……

The weather was excellent today, with clear blue skies, so Yang Yuanshan easily used a telescope to see the dense black spots in the eastern sky.

Now, his already very ugly expression became even uglier.

He shouted hurriedly:
"Wang Ye, hurry up and get the soldiers in the guard camp to hide.

Damn the Japs, they sent so many bombers in one go, they really think highly of us!"

Wang Ye, who was not far away, heard the words, immediately shouted the order, and rushed to the foot of the mountain.

……

A few minutes later, the sesame-sized black dot in the sky turned into a hawk-like Han Yang, who had approached Yang Yuanshan at some point, and carefully suggested:

"Captain, there must be at least forty bombers!

I guess they are the two flying squadrons of the Japanese devils!

Shuanglin and the others definitely can't win, so why not let them disperse and hide?

Anyway, our people should have basically evacuated the county by now, so even if it is bombed, the losses won’t be too great.”

"no!
We have to fight even if we can't win. Otherwise, all the bombs from so many bombers will fall on the two counties.

Even if the loss of our special forces group is not great, the people in the city will definitely suffer."

Yang Yuanshan's attitude was firm.

He knew very well that now was the time for our army to fight a battle of attrition with the Japanese.

The anti-aircraft artillery of the special forces regiment has been used up, and we can train a new batch in two or three months at most.

The Japanese had lost all their planes and pilots, and it would take more than a short time to train more of them.

If the anti-aircraft artillery battalion can shoot down all these forty-plus planes, then our troops in the entire northern Hebei region will not be bombed by the Japanese aircraft for at least the next six months.

So now, it is a crisis, but also an opportunity!

An opportunity to inflict heavy damage to the Japanese Army Air Force!
Seeing Han Yang's serious expression and seemingly lack of confidence, Yang Yuanshan encouraged him again:
"Han Yang, don't underestimate Shuang Lin and the others.

Now they have 45 anti-aircraft guns.

Not to mention, the Second Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion has so many machine guns that can help them.

You never know, in a moment, you might see the Japanese planes falling to the ground like dumplings!"

"Haha, if that's the case, that old devil Okamura will be so pissed off!

Not only did we lose the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, we also lost two flying squadrons."

Han Yang grinned, and the sad expression on his face disappeared.

He was indeed aware of Feng Shuanglin's strength.

This is not the first time that we have dealt with Japanese bombers.

Yang Yuanshan nodded and continued:
“Fortunately, we acted quickly and have captured two counties, and have evacuated most of the soldiers out of the city to rest.

Otherwise, this wave of bombing would definitely cause serious damage to the bones."

As he spoke, he felt a little sad.

This time, the tunnel discovered by Wei Dayong's special operations company really helped them a lot!

Then he shouted to the headquarters:

"Telegraph operator, send a message to Feng Shuanglin and Guo Youqing, asking them to pay attention to tactics when conducting air defense and reduce their own casualties.

Don't kill all your men in a hurry!
The Japanese bombers are flying from the east, and the flight is quite long, so the fuel may not be very sufficient!
The longer we delay, the better it is for us!"

"Yes!"

A telegraph operator yelled out orders.

Although he didn't come out to see the situation outside, he also felt tremendous pressure.

……

Soon, the Japanese bombers flew over Jinchang County and began to split into two formations, one of which continued to move towards Xin County.

The other one circled directly over Jinchang County, looking for valuable targets and dived to drop bombs.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Amid the earth-shaking explosion, Jinchang County's gate towers, city walls, and tall buildings in the city all suffered devastating blows.

Seeing the Japanese so rampant, the soldiers at the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the special forces regiment stationed between Jinchang County and Xin County were all very angry.

They had made all preparations to open fire, but Battalion Commander Feng Shuanglin did not immediately order them to fire at the bombers. Instead, he turned his attention to the formation flying towards Xin County.

At this moment, this flying formation was about to fly over their position at an altitude of about 4000 meters.

Feng Shuanglin observed the situation through a telescope, and then silently calculated the height and distance in his mind.

Suddenly, he shouted an order:

"All anti-aircraft guns, head due east, angle 85 degrees, five rapid fire, fire!!!"
