I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 970 I have never fought such an easy battle!
Zhaojiayu.

Li Yunlong received a telegram from the Special Agents Regiment.

Naturally, I breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said to Zhao Gang:

"Old Zhao, Xinkou Pass is in the hands of the Special Forces.

Now, even if the Japanese reinforcements arrived, they would be unable to do anything to them.

As long as they hold the strategic position, the Japanese will have no chance of getting in without much effort."

There was also a hint of smile on Zhao Gang's face.

But still remind:
"Old Li, you still can't be careless.

In the Battle of Xinkou, Yan Laokou led several armies to attack, but he still failed to stop the Japanese army! "

"Hehe, can Yan Laokou compare with Yang Yuanshan?"

Li Yunlong didn't care.

Zhao Gang was speechless and thought to himself: I hope Old Yan doesn't hear what you say!
Otherwise, he will be angry with you!
Since when did a war zone commander become inferior to a small regiment commander under your command?
Where can you put other people's faces?
Li Yunlong noticed the expression on his face and knew that he still had doubts, so he continued with a smile:

"Besides, Lao Zhao, the Japanese had several divisions back then. Only by making breakthroughs at multiple points can we make the Xinkou defenders be attacked from all sides and forced to retreat.

Now our New 358st Regiment and Independent Regiment have blocked Zhengtai Road. Yang Yuanshan has asked the New 7th Regiment and the New 8th Regiment of the th Brigade to help him defend Qubei County.

The Japanese could only attack from the north to the south.

They don't have any terrain advantage, and they want to recapture Xinkou with just a brigade of troops. It's simply a pipe dream! "

After hearing his explanation, Zhao Gang nodded in agreement.

Times have changed, and the situation between the enemy and us is now very different.

So he asked with some expectation:

"Old Li, the Special Forces Regiment is making such smooth progress here. How long do you think the Japanese in central Hebei can hold out?"

Hearing this thorny question, Li Yunlong couldn't help but frown.

It was amazing that the old devil Okamura Ji Ning was so patient that he didn't have any temper.

After thinking for three seconds, he sighed softly:
"The old devil Okamura has made up his mind to be a coward.

I think this old bastard won't move until Yang Yuanshan bombards Jinyang City!"

……

Let’s talk about Wutai County.

Amid the rumbling of artillery fire, Chen Wang, political commissar of the 5th Regiment of the Wutai Division, led the last group of people transporting weapons and equipment from Jinchang County back to the outside of the county town.

He Dingwei and other regimental-level cadres were so happy when they saw the 12 81mm mortars and so many shells he brought back that they almost jumped three feet high.

After quickly dividing it up, they quickly formed their own artillery companies.

Although it will take some time for the artillery company established on the front line to play a role.

However, when the soldiers of each regiment learned that there were artillerymen in their own regiments, their morale became even higher.

Everyone felt that the Japanese in Wutai County were already trapped in a jar, unable to escape!

……

After handing over the equipment he brought back, Chen Wang saw that Liu Changshun and Chu Kun's artillery was still bombarding the city, and he couldn't help but ask He Dingwei and others curiously:

“How long has the artillery of this special forces regiment been firing?

Why didn’t I hear the sound of artillery fire stop on my way back here? "

"Hey, it's been almost an hour and a half."

His partner, Jiang Yaohui, head of the 5th Regiment, answered.

"What? An hour and a half?

Wouldn't that render the artillery useless?"

Chen Wang was a little grinning, feeling that the artillery of the special forces regiment was simply wasting things.

No matter how many cannons you have, you can't waste them carelessly!

"Captain Chu and Captain Liu are not stupid.

Except for the first ten minutes when they fired at full force, they divided the artillery into three groups and fired in rotation, which not only maintained the fire pressure but also allowed the artillery to cool down. "

He Dingwei replied.

"Okay. But now it seems that the city wall has been almost blown up, right?
Should we send our soldiers in to capture the city?

It's impossible for our three regiments to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield in the end, right?
Then aren't all these new equipments of ours just for show?"

Chen Wang reminded seriously.

After such a big battle, if they were only responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, how would they write the battle report? It would be a real headache for him as the political commissar!
After hearing what he said, He Dingwei and the other three captains nodded repeatedly.

Now the troops from the two bases are fighting together. If they don't contribute and just stand aside and watch, it will be a disgrace to the entire Wutai Division!
In the future, their superiors will not forgive them!
——This is the style of our army. There are always people rushing to take on the most difficult and dangerous tasks.

So after a brief discussion, He Dingwei ran to find Liu Changshun and Chu Kun and asked them to stop the shelling.

First send some infantry soldiers to rush up and see the situation of the Japanese.

If the Japanese still have the strength to fight back, let them open fire to suppress them.

……

Liu Changshun and Chu Kun, commanding the soldiers of the two companies, had been fighting for more than an hour and were already getting bored.

Those hot shell casings have already filled up their positions.

Seeing He Dingwei's request, he immediately nodded in agreement.

He immediately ordered the soldiers to stop the shelling and let them rest.

……

The soldiers of the Wutai Division were immediately cheered up when they saw that their shelling had finally stopped.

They gripped their guns tightly and rushed forward screaming under the leadership of the company and platoon leaders.

The demolition team members running in the front were carrying huge bags of explosives, ready to blow open the city gate.

……

In Wutai County.

When the Japanese heard that the artillery fire that had tormented them for a whole morning had finally stopped, they all felt as if they had been pardoned.

They all collapsed to the ground.

After maintaining the artillery-avoiding posture for a long time, their hands and feet were already numb and their whole bodies were weak.

At this time, a Japanese officer was shouting loudly:

"Warriors, hurry up and get up!

Get ready for battle! ! "

When the Japanese soldiers heard this, they gritted their teeth and got up.

However, at this time, they discovered that only one in ten of their colleagues were left, and the casualties were heavy.

Suddenly, everyone turned pale, and their hands that were trying to pick up the guns couldn't help but tremble slightly.

But at this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed loudly:
"His Excellency the Captain has died!"

Hearing this, a major officer hurriedly ran towards the source of the scream, regardless of the blood on his face.

After a while, he saw the battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Kimura Toshikuma, lying behind a battlement of the city wall. He was hit by seven or eight shrapnel and was bleeding all over the ground. It was unknown how long he had been dead.

The guards, messengers and others around him were also killed in pieces.

Seeing this, the major immediately looked up to the sky and roared:

“Damn Tubalu!
I will tear you into pieces!!!"

Then he gave a loud order:

"The captain has died, now it's my turn -

Major Jiro Kumagai, captain of the 1st Squadron, takes over the command!

Warriors, hurry up and prepare for a counterattack, the Tubalu are coming!"

Someone stood up to organize, and the remnants of the Japanese army calmed down a little. They began to hide behind the battlements of the city wall and fired at the soldiers from the Wutai Division who rushed over. Their shooting skills were accurate, and many soldiers were shot and fell to the ground immediately.

Seeing this scene, Jiro Kumagai was naturally very satisfied.

While shouting at them to continue trying to stop the enemy, he ran towards the battalion headquarters in the city.

Soon, he arrived at the battalion headquarters and ordered the telegraph operator to send a message to the brigade headquarters to report their situation.

However, the telegraph operator spent a lot of time trying but did not receive a reply from the brigade headquarters. He could only report to him in panic:
"Sir, the brigade's radio station doesn't seem to be turned on. We can't get in touch with it."

"What? It's not on?
How can this be? ? ? "

Kumagai Jiro roared.

He knew very well that it was wartime and the brigade's radio station could not be turned off.

But now this abnormal situation has occurred, so it must be——

Or the brigade’s radio station was damaged.

Or the entire brigade was wiped out!

No matter which of these two situations, he felt extremely dangerous!
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the telegraph operator:
"Hurry up, send a telegram directly to the First Army Headquarters to report that we can't get in touch with the brigade headquarters!"

"Hi!"

The telegraph operator agreed and immediately started sending messages with a beeping sound.

Soon, he received a reply from the other party, and then reported to Kumagai Jiro with a changed expression:

"Sir, the First Army Headquarters replied that the Xinkou Pass was under full-scale attack by the Eighth Route Army and was unable to hold on. Chief of Staff Yoshihiro Miyagi has already led the remaining warriors to move forward!"

"What? Turn in? Baka!
Why didn’t they inform us???”

Kumagai Jiro roared loudly.

There are countless MMPs in my heart.

How could he know that Miyagi Yoshihiro had been completely confused at that time and had completely forgotten about their entire team!

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Kumagai Jiro cursed angrily and then asked the telegraph operator anxiously:

"Did the military headquarters give us any instructions?"

"Yes! They ordered us to hold on to Wutai County and wait for the 2nd Brigade to come to our rescue!"

"Bageya Road! Hold on???

The Tubalu's artillery fire is so fierce, how can we hold on???"

Kumagai Jiro was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Just when he was at a loss and didn't know what to do, there were suddenly intensive artillery and heavy machine gun fire sounds outside the city.

Suddenly I became more and more flustered.

He gritted his teeth and ordered all the remaining personnel in the brigade, including grooms, medical soldiers, logistics personnel, etc., to take up their weapons and follow him to the city wall to provide support.

However, before they could reach the city wall, they heard earth-shattering explosions almost simultaneously from the city gates.

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The next second, he heard someone yelling in panic:

"Oh no! The Eighth Route Army is coming!"

"Damn Tubalu! They blew open the city gate!"

"The squadron leader has died!"

……

At this moment, Jiro Kumagai felt very disappointed.

He could only bite the bullet, wave his saber, call out to the soldiers behind him, and shout:

"Warriors, it's a black card! Onboard--"

……

As the soldiers of the Wutai Division, under the cover of artillery and heavy machine guns, used explosive packs to blast open several gates of Wutai County, there was no longer any suspense about the complete annihilation of the 9th Independent Infantry Battalion of the 37th Brigade of the Japanese.

Three full regiments of our soldiers, all holding Type 38 rifles, rushed into the city. The remaining two or three hundred remnants of the Japanese battalion were simply unable to stop them.

More than an hour later, there was no more gunfire in the entire Wutai County.

At this time, all the soldiers in the Wutai Division were ecstatically cleaning up the battlefield.

If we wiped out a battalion of Japanese soldiers, we would have seized thousands of guns.

What a windfall!
If it were before today, they would have captured such a large amount of spoils that the soldiers would have been so happy that they would not sleep for three days and three nights.

But now that they have obtained a large amount of equipment from the Special Forces Regiment, they are inevitably a little less excited about these captives.

Some people even thought to themselves: This group of Japanese devils are very ordinary. They don’t even have many infantry guns, not even as many as an artillery company of the special forces regiment!

……

The three captains, He Dingwei, Jiang Yaohui and Ye Jingyun, came to the city wall with a smile and looked towards the city.

They all felt very proud.

He Dingwei couldn't help but sigh:

"Good fellow! I have never fought such an easy battle!
It feels easier than fighting the Japanese invaders.

It’s different with the help of artillery!”

"Who says it's not?

But the results are great!

This time, we wiped out an entire battalion of Japanese devils!

This is truly a stunning victory, something we never dared to imagine before.”

Jiang Yaohui's face was also filled with regret.

Ye Jingyun chuckled:
"Hehe, our three regiments only managed to wipe out one battalion of the Japanese and capture a county town. We are still a long way from their special forces regiment!
They could easily wipe out a brigade or a division of the Japanese!"

Upon hearing this, He Dingwei and Jiang Yaohui felt that the pride in their hearts had disappeared instantly.

They were all thinking in their hearts: The Japanese haven't been driven away yet, so they still have a lot of work to do!

It doesn't make sense. Isn't it that the special forces group has always been the only one in the lead?
……

At this time, a soldier from the 5th Regiment ran up to them excitedly and reported to Jiang Yaohui:
"Captain, we found a warehouse with lots of food and even canned beef from the Japanese!"

Jiang Yaohui was naturally excited when he heard this, and immediately gave the order:

"Where is it? Take me to see it!"

After a while, the three of them followed the soldier who led the way and came to a warehouse, where they saw bags of flour and dozens of boxes of canned beef.

I was overjoyed on the spot.

This amount of food is enough for the three regiments to have full meals for a month!
If you eat sparingly, it won't be a problem to last two or three months.

He Dingwei picked up a can of beef, pried it open with his bayonet, dug out a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and immediately made a satisfied sound.

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yaohui and Ye Jingyun were speechless and couldn't help but say with contempt:

"Old He, you are such a rude eater!"

He Dingwei didn't mind their ridicule at all, and half-closed his eyes to savor it:
“I haven’t tasted meat in almost a year!
Now when you eat a bite of meat, why do you care about the way you eat it? "

After hearing this, Jiang Yaohui and Ye Jingyun immediately felt that it made a lot of sense.

They immediately rushed forward, snatched the can from He Dingwei's hand, and divided it up in no time.

They were reluctant to open another can. After all, this thing was too precious to the troops in the Wutai Division!
Three people share one and taste it, and that's about it.

After some discussion, they sent Ye Jingyun, along with two guards, to carry two boxes of canned food and walk out of the city.
