I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 960: Is this special forces group really our team?

Just as the Japanese planes were attacking, on the mountain road east of Jinchang County, four soldiers in gray military uniforms were riding horses, heading westward in a dusty manner.

They were the scouts and communicators sent by the 3rd, 5th and 9th Regiments of the Wutai Division to liaise with the Special Forces Regiment.

On the way, of course, they also saw the Japanese bombers flying in the sky, and their faces suddenly changed.

The deputy platoon leader Gu Dafeng, who was in the lead, immediately yelled:

"Comrades, the Japanese planes must be going to bomb the Special Forces Regiment!
Let's speed up and tell them to hide!"

Then he whipped his beloved horse hard and ran away at full speed.

"Yes!"

Several other warriors also roared and followed closely.

However, no matter how fast a warhorse is, it can never be compared with an airplane.

When they saw the Jinchang County wall in front of them, they saw that the Japanese bombers were already "laying eggs".

Dense aerial bombs fell one after another, like a sow giving birth to piglets.

The huge explosion resounded throughout the heaven and earth!
Seeing this, Gu Dafeng could only angrily curse:

"That damn Japanese iron bird flies really damn fast!

We nearly broke the horse, and we didn’t have time.”

A soldier next to him nodded:
"Yeah, it would be great if we had the Japanese sidecars!
That thing runs faster than a horse and requires less effort."

Suddenly, a soldier nearby shouted in surprise:
"Look, sir. What is that?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Dafeng quickly looked up and immediately saw countless artillery shells rising from the ground and bombarding the Japanese planes at an incredible speed.

He immediately shouted in surprise:
“This is an anti-aircraft gun!!!

Wow, the special forces regiment is so powerful, they have so many anti-aircraft guns!

The Japanese planes are in trouble now, they will definitely be beaten to pieces!!!"

Hearing what he said, the three soldiers behind him also smiled happily and said:

"That's great!
We have to knock down these damn Japanese iron birds!"

……

After some jokes, Gu Dafeng led them forward.

Soon they were about 5 kilometers west of Jinchang County. Suddenly a man emerged from the bushes ahead, holding a % new Type rifle and yelling at them:

"Stop, which department are you from?

What are you doing here? "

Gu Dafeng and others had never expected that there was actually a person squatting in the bushes.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He reined in his horse and was about to reach for his gun.

But the next second, they saw the man in front of them. Although he was wearing a simple straw hat made of green grass, he was also wearing the same gray military uniform as them, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Knowing that they were his own people, Gu Dafeng quickly led everyone off their horses and introduced himself:

"Comrade, we are the correspondents of the Wutai Division. I am Gu Dafeng, the deputy platoon leader of the first platoon of the reconnaissance company of the 3rd regiment.

These are Zhang Manyou and Qi Erniu from the 5th Regiment, and Yu Changlu from the 9th Regiment.

When the soldier in the straw hat heard their identities, he did not let down his guard. Instead, he asked them to take out their identification documents and checked them carefully before confirming their identities.

He introduced himself as Qiao Jian, a sentry from the Third Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment.

When Gu Dafeng heard that he was a member of the Special Forces Regiment, he was also very surprised and quickly explained his purpose of seeking to see Yang Yuanshan.

Qiao Jian nodded and arranged:
"Get on your horses and follow me!

Our leader is still in the west."

After saying that, he walked to the bushes in the distance, picked up a bicycle, climbed on it, and rode towards Yuwangling.

When Gu Dafeng and the other three saw this thing, their eyes widened.

They were all farmers from Wutai area who joined the army, but they had never seen bicycles which were only available in big cities in those days!

I couldn't help but ask in surprise:
"Comrade Qiao, what is the name of this iron car of yours?
How can it move on two wheels? "

When Qiao Jian heard this, a hint of pride instantly appeared on his face, and he quickly replied:
“This is called a bicycle, and it can move as long as you pedal it.

It is much more useful than a war horse, and it doesn’t eat grain or grass!
As long as you have the strength, you can pedal all the way back home!"

"Wow! There is such a good thing???
Bicycle? The name is so accurate, it can move by itself! "

Qi Erniu's face was full of envy.

Gu Dafeng quickly asked:

“Comrade Qiao, this bicycle must be very expensive, right?

How many cars does your group have?

Why did I assign one to you? "

"I heard this thing is available in big cities, and it costs at least 70 or 80 yuan a piece, and the expensive ones may even cost more than 100 yuan!
But in our group, there are plenty of them, at least two to three thousand.

Not to mention me, all sentinels, communicators, etc. can be used."

Qiao Jian answered proudly.

"What? Over a hundred dollars a car, and you have two or three thousand???
How did you get it?"

Gu Dafeng thought he had misheard and his eyes almost popped out.

This special forces group is too generous, isn’t it?
Just by equipping a bicycle with some equipment, it can easily be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?

It’s so terrifying!

The question is, with these hundreds of thousands of dollars, wouldn’t it be better to buy guns and cannons?

What bike to buy?
Can't we get some mules, war horses or something to ride? ? ?

"Hey, of course I picked it up."

Qiao Jian replied with a smile.

"What? Picked it up???

How can this be? "

Gu Dafeng and the other three were stunned and could not believe it at all.

……

As they walked, Gu Dafeng and his three companions curiously asked about the various situations of the special forces regiment.

Qiao Jian was quite alert and did not reveal any important information. He only picked up some unimportant situations and showed them off randomly.

But even this made them scream in surprise, and they felt that they had really learned a lot this time.

And as they were rushing to Yuwangling, everyone kept seeing the Japanese bombers being shot down by the special forces regiment's anti-aircraft guns.

Gu Dafeng and others couldn't help but cheer from time to time and felt very happy.

The Japanese planes have bullied them a lot in the past!

None of the troops in their Wutai Division had anti-aircraft guns. When they encountered bombing by Japanese planes, the most they could do was to use some heavy machine guns to fire into the air, which was basically futile and a waste of bullets.

Most of the time, when they saw the Japanese planes coming, they had no choice but to abandon their mission and flee into the woods to hide.

Countless comrades were killed in the explosion!
When Qiao Jian saw them like this, he naturally couldn't help but complain about them in his heart, saying that they were surprised by something unusual.

He thought to himself: It’s just shooting down a few planes. What does that mean to our special forces regiment?
Our regiment has shot down at least 200 planes, if not 300!
……

Just as the five of them were marching towards Yuwangling, the Japanese planes in the sky seemed to have run out of bombs, or were frightened by the fierce attack from the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of the special forces regiment, or were about to run out of fuel.

All in all, their remaining 15 planes finally began to return eastward amid billowing black smoke.

When many soldiers from the special forces regiment saw this, they naturally jumped up excitedly and cheered loudly.

Many people couldn't help cursing:
"Little devil, don't run if you dare!"

"You sons of bitches, keep fighting! Look at our comrades in the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, they will beat you to death!"

"You cowardly coward, if you dare to come here again next time, I will make sure you all fall down and become dead birds!"

...Gu Dafeng took out a half-worn pocket watch from his pocket, checked the time, and couldn't help but exclaimed to Qiao Jian:

"Comrade Qiao, your anti-aircraft artillery unit is amazing!
In just half an hour, we were able to drive away so many Japanese planes!"

Qiao Jian smiled proudly:
"What's that? Our regiment has two anti-aircraft artillery battalions!

All together, there are sixty or seventy anti-aircraft guns!

Every time we move, we need a large number of mules and horses to pull us along!"

"What? Sixty or seventy anti-aircraft guns?
Aren't those two battalions?
There is no problem at all talking about two anti-aircraft artillery regiments!"

Gu Dafeng and the others opened their mouths wide, feeling that their worldviews had been overturned once again.

Several people were thinking: Is this special forces regiment really a part of our army?

Where did they get so many anti-aircraft guns?

And where do the shells come from?
In this air defense battle just now, at least tens of thousands of shells were fired, right?

……

At this moment, here at Yuwangling.

On Yuwang Ridge, Yang Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Japanese bombers had finally withdrawn.

He then ordered Wang Ye to lead the guard battalion to help the anti-aircraft artillery battalion rescue the wounded.

He sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and checked how many anti-aircraft guns the system had just given him.

"Kill the Japs pilot*50, and reward 40 Bofors 50mm anti-aircraft guns and 50 rounds of artillery shells."

"Kill a Japanese aviation major*4, and you will be rewarded with 5 Suloton ST-16 machine guns and 16 rounds of ammunition."

Although there were only two reward messages, Yang Yuanshan was still very excited.

50 anti-aircraft guns and 16 machine guns. Now, as long as there are still people in their anti-aircraft artillery battalion, they can instantly restore into two strong anti-aircraft artillery battalions!
Moreover, in the first battle, 27 Japanese planes and 54 pilots were destroyed. The old Japanese Okamura must have been so angry that he vomited blood.

This is a huge loss!
It is not even less than the loss of a fully-strength brigade.

After all, the cost of forming an ordinary infantry brigade cannot be compared with that of an aviation force!

However, this was only during that era, when air force was not as outrageously expensive as it became in later generations.

Otherwise, the loss of so many pilots and planes would be even more tragic than the loss of several fully-strength divisions.

……

After seeing the system rewards, Yang Yuanshan did not take out these cannons immediately.

Instead, he planned to wait for news from the anti-aircraft artillery battalion first.

Don't take out a lot of cannons without gunners to use them, otherwise you will be in trouble.

However, before the situation over there could be reported, Zhang Xiaohe came over to report:
"Captain, our sentinels encountered four messengers from the Wutai Division. They said they were looking for you."

Yang Yuanshan understood instantly that this was probably because Li Yunlong was desperately urging his superiors, so the Wutai division team was rushing over and sending people to make contact in advance.

I was naturally very touched.

Although Li Yunlong likes to rob my equipment, his care for me is beyond reproach.

He quickly ordered:
"Please bring the people up quickly."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiaohe agreed, turned around and ran down the mountain.

Yang Yuanshan also stood up, walked into the command center, and synchronized the message to Han Yang and Zhan Haishan inside.

When they heard that comrades from the Wutai District had arrived, they were very excited.

They could all guess that it must be reinforcements sent by their superiors.

Of course you don't have to think about it to know which one makes you feel safer, having help or fighting alone.

……

The three of them were in the command center, chatting and waiting.

Not long after, Gu Dafeng and four others were brought into the command center by Zhang Xiaohe.

Yang Yuanshan quickly greeted with a smile on his face:

"Comrades, I am Yang Yuanshan, the head of the special forces regiment.

Thank you for coming here.”

Gu Dafeng and the other three were naturally surprised to see that Yang Yuanshan was so young.

But what shocked them even more was that there were two radio stations in the cave, operated by telegraph operators, which were sending messages "tickingly".

There was someone nearby, sweating profusely, cranking the generator to power the two radios.

All four of them thought: Wow! They are indeed the best group in the world!
Even the radio stations that none of the main groups in our division have, we have two of them!
And dare they use it so recklessly!
It’s even more luxurious than our district!
They couldn't help but reveal a bit of envy in their eyes.

Serving in a team like this must be a life like heaven.

He quickly saluted Yang Yuanshan, introduced himself and stated his purpose.

Yang Yuanshan exchanged greetings with them, and then frowned when he heard that the 3rd, 5th and 9th Regiments of the Wutai Division were feinting an attack on Wutai County with their crude equipment in order to relieve their pressure, fearing that they would suffer heavy casualties.

After quickly asking for some details, he said with deep emotion:

"Thank you comrades from all the regiments for helping us a lot!"

His words were genuine gratitude, but as for the help, he was naturally just saying it to Gu Dafeng and the others.

If the Japanese in Wutai County dared to rush out of the city and cause trouble for the Special Forces Regiment, Yang Yuanshan would be secretly happy.

After all, it is much easier to destroy this large group in a field battle outside the city than to destroy it by attacking the city.

Seeing him thank you, Gu Dafeng waved his hand quickly:

"Captain Yang, you are too polite. We are all brothers in arms, and this is the way it should be."

……

After getting a lot of useful information from Gu Dafeng, Yang Yuanshan saw that there was nothing else he wanted to ask, so he signaled Zhang Xiaohe to take them down to rest:

"Comrade Gu, you guys go down and rest for a while.

We need to discuss it, and then I'll trouble you to take the letter back."

"Yes!"

Gu Dafeng saluted again and followed Zhang Xiaohe.

……

After watching them leave, Yang Yuanshan turned around and asked Han Yang and Zhan Haishan:
"What do you think?"

Han Yang understood that Yang Yuanshan was asking whether the original plan of first taking Xinkou Pass and then attacking Wutai County should be modified.

He immediately answered excitedly:
"Captain, I think this is our chance!

We should act immediately, together with the troops of the Wutai Division, to capture Wutai County, and then turn back to deal with the Japanese in Xinkou Pass."

"Captain, I don't think it's necessary.

Anyway, the comrades from the Wutai Division were only making a feint attack, so there wouldn't be too many casualties.

We should take over Xinkou Pass first.

After all, taking this place will help to resist the Japanese reinforcements coming from the north.

Besides, our battle plan has already been reported to our superiors, and it would not be good if we make changes at will."

Zhan Haishan expressed a different opinion.

Yang Yuanshan felt a little difficult to decide and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Both of them have a point.

So, should you take a risk or just play it safe?
