I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 964: Two companies equipped with dozens of artillery pieces, is this really a joke?

After three waves of bombing failed, the Japanese planes did not come again.

Naturally, the soldiers of the special forces regiment took this opportunity to be busy with various things.

Either to carry supplies, or to reorganize the team, or to replenish their own ammunition...

……

While they were busy, Gu Dafeng and his four companions had already rushed back to the outskirts of Wutai County.

In order to achieve a coordinated operation for the feint attack on Wutai County, the three commanders of the 3rd, 5th and 9th Regiments of the Wutai Division got together to form a temporary front-line command post.

So at this moment, the commanders and political commissars of the three regiments are all here.

Upon hearing that Gu Dafeng and others had returned, the commander of the Third Regiment, He Dingwei, hurried out to greet them.

When he saw Gu Dafeng riding his horse and galloping towards him, he shouted with a look of distress on his face:
"Gu Dafeng, you bastard, you've ruined my horse!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Dafeng quickly reined in his horse, jumped off and rushed to him, panting and reporting excitedly:

"Captain, we've made a fortune!
This horse is nothing!"

Hearing this, He Dingwei was naturally very surprised. He led his horse over and stroked its face, while curiously asking:
"Get rich? Are you kidding me?

Didn’t I ask you to contact the Special Forces?

How else can you make money?

Did we run into the Japanese transport team on the road?"

“Captain, it’s the special forces regiment.

Commander Yang said that he would give each of our regiments a gun, and asked us to send people to transport the weapons!"

Gu Dafeng couldn't wait to answer.

"What? A gun for each person?

Are you kidding me?
Does Captain Yang of the Special Forces know how many people we have?
How dare you say such big words! "

He Dingwei was skeptical.

When their superiors had asked them to move westward, they had mentioned that the Special Forces Regiment had wiped out a division of the Japanese devils and had a large amount of equipment to support various troops, so they should be prepared to make a fortune.

However, he always felt that all our military units were short of equipment. No matter how much the special forces regiment seized, the most they could support them with would be two or three hundred guns and a batch of bullets, which would already be considered a small fortune!

How could I dare to think of "a gun for every person"?

You know, their Third Regiment has 1800 people. If everyone really has a gun, wouldn’t they be ridiculously strong? ? ?

"That's right, Captain!

Captain Yang said that in addition to the Type 38 rifle, there are also light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers!
I'm running back here at full speed because I want to get the news back as quickly as possible. Let's take people to transport it!
Don't wait until the night is long and dreams are many, and the cooked duck flies away! "

As Gu Dafeng spoke, he took out the can of beef that Zhang Xiaohe had given him and showed it off:
"Look, Commander, the food in the special forces regiment is good too. They even gave me a can of beef!"

Seeing the genuine Japanese canned beef in his hand, He Dingwei believed what he said about 70%.

He immediately pulled him towards the temporary command center:

"Let's go in and talk!

Let Lao Jiang, Lao Ye and the others listen!"

……

Gu Dafeng was pulled into their temporary command center by He Dingwei and reported in detail about his visit to the Special Forces Regiment.

When they heard that the special forces regiment actually had dozens of anti-aircraft guns and shot down the Japanese planes as if they were birds, everyone present was shocked.

The head of the 5th Regiment, Jiang Yaohui, could not help but sigh:

"No wonder this special forces regiment was able to wipe out a fully staffed division of the Japanese!

It turns out they are so powerful.

This "number one group in the world" is indeed not in vain! "

However, when they heard Gu Dafeng say that Yang Yuanshan wanted them to turn the feint attack into a real attack and capture Wutai County, almost everyone looked hesitant.

The head of the 9th regiment, Ye Jingyun, glared and cursed:

“This Captain Yang is really talking nonsense!
How can we attack a county town garrisoned by a battalion of troops?
Isn't that sending our soldiers to their deaths?
With the weapons we have at hand, we can barely make do with taking down a few artillery towers and strongholds.

To attack the county town is simply a joke!"

The head of the Third Regiment, He Dingwei, said quickly:
"Old Ye, don't worry!

Dafeng, hurry up and tell me what’s next!

Captain Yang wants to give us equipment!"

"Yes!"

Gu Dafeng was not surprised at everyone's reaction, and he quickly told them that Yang Yuanshan was going to send them a large number of weapons and equipment.

When everyone present heard that the other party actually said that he would give them thousands of guns, they couldn't believe it.

The Fifth Regiment's Political Commissar Chen Wang stared at Gu Dafeng with burning eyes and said sternly:
"Comrade Gu Dafeng, let me remind you that you must be responsible for what you just said!

Once we investigate and find that you have told even one lie, you will be severely punished!"

Hearing his words, Gu Dafeng's heart trembled, and he quickly stood at attention and replied:

"Report to the Political Commissar, I promise that every word I said is true!"

"Okay! Dafeng, did Captain Yang say anything about giving us artillery?
To capture Wutai County, guns and ammunition alone may not be enough!"

Gu Dafeng was a capable man under his command, so He Dingwei naturally had to protect him and quickly interrupted him.

"Captain Yang didn't say he would give us artillery, but he said he would send two artillery companies with dozens of artillery pieces to support us."

"What? Two artillery batteries and dozens of guns?

How can this be?

I'll assume they have so many artillery pieces, but how many people are there in each of their companies?
Can you handle so many cannons?"

Jiang Yaohui felt that Gu Dafeng was talking nonsense.

There is an artillery regiment at the headquarters, but there are only 12 mountain cannons!

Now the special forces regiment actually says that two companies are equipped with dozens of artillery pieces. Isn’t this nonsense?
“Captain Yang said he would send a Type 300 infantry artillery battery of more than men and a recoilless gun company.

A total of 12 Type 57 infantry guns and forty to fifty mm recoilless guns.

"My goodness, an artillery company is equipped with 12 Type infantry guns?
This is more powerful than the artillery of a Japanese infantry battalion!"

He Dingwei's mouth opened wide.

His face was full of envy.

I thought to myself: They are both team leaders, but the gap between them is so huge!
His Third Regiment only had two precious 60mm mortars with few shells!

It's so pitiful.

"What the hell is that recoilless rifle?

Is it powerful? "

Ye Jingyun, the head of the 9th Regiment, asked curiously.

"I don't know either. Captain Yang didn't let us see anything."

Gu Dafeng shook his head.

Then he remembered something and added:
"By the way, the secret service group has a lot of good stuff, even two radio stations.

I saw several telegraph operators there, ticking away at the messages, it was so impressive!"

“One regiment, and there are two radio stations?
Wow, this is even more generous than our district leader!"

Xu Huaijin, the political commissar of the 9th Regiment, couldn't help but sigh!

……

After listening to Gu Dafeng's report, He Dingwei waved his hand to let him go out, and then asked everyone present:

“Comrades, this is the current situation, what do you think?
Let me first say that I believe in the organization and I believe in Captain Yang!

So I think that we should follow the information brought back by Dafeng and send people to Jinchang County to transport weapons and equipment, and then take over Wutai County!

Think about it, how much benefit will it bring to the development of our base after taking over Wutai County?

The personnel and materials can greatly supplement the needs of the base!"

The Political Commissar of the Third Regiment, Lin Zhenghe, shook his head:

“Lao He, I think we should still be cautious.

Why don't we send a small number of people to Jinchang County to investigate the situation first?" "I agree with Lao He's opinion. Don't worry about anything else. The first thing to do is to send people to get the equipment back.

We will talk about whether we can take Wutai County later!"

The head of the 9th Regiment, Ye Jingyun, ate it with excitement and postponed the processing of the shells.

He was fed up with the pain of having no guns or bullets.

Even if there is a hope of getting guns and bullets now, he certainly cannot miss it.

"That's right!
That’s what we have to do!”

The head of the 5th Regiment, Jiang Yaohui, also spoke in agreement.

……

After a long argument, they finally decided to draw a fully-staffed main battalion from each of their regiments, to make up three battalions of about 1000 people, led by the commander of the 9th Regiment Ye Jingyun and the political commissar of the 5th Regiment Chen Wang, and immediately rush to Jinchang County.

See if there really is a large amount of equipment waiting for them!

As for why they didn't send the 9th Regiment directly, it was naturally because He Dingwei and Jiang Yaohui both didn't trust Ye Jingyun!
I’m afraid that this guy will eat and take more than he deserves.

……

Soon, Ye Jingyun and Chen Wang gathered the troops, took all the mules, horses and carts of their three regiments, and galloped towards the west.

By the evening, they met two artillery companies led by Liu Changshun and Chu Kun.

Seeing them driving mules and horses, pulling so many artillery and shells, the soldiers of the Wutai Division were all shocked.

This was the first time for them to see comrades from a brother unit, who were also wearing gray uniforms, pulling so many cannons and artillery shells!

When they met on the road, both parties naturally confirmed their identities to each other at the first opportunity.

After verifying that they were indeed a brother unit, Ye Jingyun and Chen Wang asked Chu Kun curiously:

"Captain Chu, what you guys have here is that recoilless gun?

Why does this look like an iron pipe?
How does this thing fire shells?
Won’t the shells fall out?”

Chu Kun didn't despise them for their lack of knowledge. After all, when he first saw this thing, he had the same confusion as them.

I immediately introduced them to them with a smile.

Ye Jingyun and Chen Wang were shocked when they heard that this thing only required two people to operate and was similar to a 60 mortar, but had enough power to penetrate bunkers and artillery towers.

You know, the Japanese bunkers and watchtowers are the most important means for them to implement the "cage" policy!
Unexpectedly, this small iron pipe in front of me can actually break the "cage"!
Simply incredible!

Ye Jingyun couldn't help but ask again:

"Captain Chu, what's the range of your gun?
Can a mortar have a longer range?"

"The effective range of this thing is probably about four or five hundred meters."

Chu Kun answered.

"What? It's only four or five hundred meters. It's not as good as a 60 mortar!"

Ye Jingyun felt a little disgusted for a moment.

This distance is about the same as that of the Type 38 rifle. I'm afraid it will be difficult to play a role on the battlefield.

The Japs' shooting skills were casual, but very accurate.

Chu Kun chuckled:
“But the maximum range of this thing is three or four kilometers!
As long as you don't pursue artillery accuracy and just focus on fire coverage, it will be much more useful than a mortar.

Just think about it, my artillery was 3 kilometers away, bombarding the Japanese artillery towers and bunkers, and the Japanese had no way to fight back even if they wanted to.

Their Type 2700 infantry gun has a maximum range of meters and can only passively withstand bombings!

The mountain artillery, however, has a sufficient range.

But once their mountain artillery starts to counterattack, my artillerymen can just run away with the artillery, and they won’t be able to destroy us easily.”

After hearing his boastful words, Ye Jingyun and Chen Wang were a little disapproving.

The look towards the recoilless rifle was full of contempt.

Ye Jingyun was more direct and shook his head:

“I think this is worse than a mortar.

No matter how far you shoot, it will be useless if the effective range is not enough.

Each of our artillery shells is precious. It would be such a waste to only use up firepower coverage!
Not to mention that there aren't that many shells, even if there are extra shells, wouldn't it be better to give them to the arsenal to disassemble and make grenades and bullets?"

Hearing this, Chu Kun was speechless.

After a long while, he said calmly:
“There’s nothing to waste, our special forces regiment has plenty of shells.

Captain Ye, Political Commissar Chen, if you need anything, you can ask our captain for more when you get to Jinchang County."

As soon as he said such asking for a beating, Ye Jingyun and Chen Wang immediately wanted to hit someone.

They both thought: Is this even human language?

Who in our military unit doesn’t lack artillery shells?
Who doesn’t treasure a few shells?
There are still plenty of shells, so you're not afraid of getting your tongue blown away by the strong wind!
However, as the political commissar of the 5th Regiment, Chen Wang still restrained his anger.

He said with a strong smile:
"So that's how it is. When we get to Jinchang County later, we'll have to go find Captain Yang and complain about our poverty.

We in Wutai are often surrounded and attacked by the Japanese, and life is not easy! "

Chu Kun was not worried at all about causing trouble for Yang Yuanshan, and said:

"Just ask for it.

As long as you can transport it, our leader will definitely not be stingy!"

Seeing that he was actually serious, Ye Jingyun was immediately a little surprised and nodded excitedly:

"That would be great!"

……

After the casual chat, the two teams separated and continued to march towards their respective goals.

Ye Jingyun also enthusiastically sent a guide to the special forces team to take them to find their own large force.

Looking at the backs of the special forces group walking away, Chen Wang couldn't help but said to Ye Jingyun:
"Old Ye, this special forces group is too different from our team.

Look at what they are wearing and what they are stepping on, they are all so neat!"

Ye Jingyun nodded:
"Yes.

You see, although they are artillerymen, all of them are equipped with box guns on their waists. What a waste!
Even if our three regiments put together, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to gather enough two or three hundred pistols!

Their two companies alone have three or four hundred swords!"

“I am now becoming more and more curious about this secret service group.

Old Ye, let’s go quickly!
Go check out this special forces group as soon as possible to see what they look like!"

"Okay! Let's go!

When I meet Captain Yang, I will ask them for more equipment and ammunition.

I want to see if what Captain Chu said is true!"

……

On the Xinkou battlefield.

The soldiers of the special forces regiment worked hard, and by the evening, they had finally sent away all the wounded and the remains of the martyrs.

The supplies were also counted and put away.

The troops of each camp have also been almost reorganized.

Then they began to eat dinner happily.

Since the supplies seized in the two county towns were quite abundant, the quality of the dinner was certainly not bad.

The soldiers were all smiling and eating with their mouths full of oil.

On Yuwang Ridge, Yang Yuanshan finished his dinner with satisfaction, and then sent someone to notify the battalion commanders to come here for a meeting at 7 o'clock in the evening.

Little did he know that Chu Kun had created a generous and magnanimous persona for himself.

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

He now has plenty of weapons and equipment.

Using them to support brother troops will bring out the value of these weapons.
