I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 980 Of course I have to help them!

In a forest about forty or fifty miles north of Xinkou.

Wei Dayong and several soldiers from the special operations company were barbecuing.

They had just encountered a lone wolf provoking them in the woods, and they immediately acted decisively and turned it into lunch.

Seeing the wolf meat sizzling as it was roasted, Wei Dayong's mouth was watering with greed. He reached out to take the roasted meat from the fire and devoured it with relish.

At this time, a soldier suddenly fell from a big tree nearby and reported to him in a low voice:

"Captain, there are people coming from the rear. Judging from their clothes, they are our people."

Upon hearing this, Wei Dayong had no choice but to give up eating the meat. He stood up and looked back with a telescope.

After a moment, he waved his hand to signal everyone to relax, and said with a smile:
"It's the regiment commander's messenger who has arrived. They look familiar to me."

……

After a while, two messengers came hurriedly and saluted him:

"Captain Wei, the regiment commander has an order!"

"Oh, what does the captain want us to do?"

Wei Dayong returned the greeting to them.

I couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation on my face.

He guessed that since Yang Yuanshan sent people to find them, there must be a mission!
That would be much more interesting than lying in the woods counting ants and waiting for the Japanese to come.

"The Japanese 2nd Brigade is heading this way.

The commander orders you, except for the necessary guards who continue to remain here to maintain vigilance, all others must immediately advance to Yanmen Pass and find a way to plant bombs on the main roads to destroy their artillery!
As for the weapons and equipment you need for the attack, the regiment commander told you to go here and move them!"

While answering, the correspondent took out the envelope from his arms and handed it to Wei Dayong.

"Going to Yanmen Pass? Great!
Comrade, please help me go back and tell the commander that our special operations company will complete the mission!"

Wei Dayong jumped three feet high.

Then he took the envelope handed to him.

He handed it to the deputy company commander Zuo Feng who was following him:
"Zuo Feng, quickly check where the equipment the captain prepared for us is!"

Zuo Feng was speechless and couldn't help but complain:

"Captain, can't you read?

Why do you want me to help you look at it?"

Wei Dayong slapped him on the shoulder:
“I can’t bear to read words!

Read it to me quickly!"

……

About half an hour later, Wei Dayong led most of the soldiers of the special operations company and found the location stated in Yang Yuanshan's letter.

I saw twenty or thirty ammunition boxes lying quietly in the grass.

Several soldiers rushed over, opened the ammunition box, and then shouted to Wei Dayong in surprise:

"Captain, these are the fuel tanks for the incendiary bombs and flamethrowers!"

Wei Dayong grinned:
"Haha, the commander wants us to burn the Japanese!

I like this job.

Comrades, pack your belongings and set off for Yanmen Pass!"

"Yes!"

……

On the side of Yang Yuanshan in Yuwangling.

After he arranged to divide the artillery battalion into two, he took his guards to Xinkou Pass to check the defense situation of the second battalion.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Yang Yuanshan frowned.

I saw that the originally solid fortifications on the Xinkou Pass had been severely damaged by our own artillery fire.

Although He Yunfu and the soldiers of the Second Battalion are working hard to repair it, it is still of no use.

After all, they didn't seize much of the infrastructure weapon - cement!
Seeing this, Yang Yuanshan immediately said to He Yunfu:
"Lao He, tell the soldiers to stop wasting their time repairing fortifications.

Let’s change our strategy!”

"What? Change strategy? Not build fortifications?

Captain, what do you mean?

He Yunfu was puzzled.

Yang Yuanshan opened his mouth, but did not speak directly. Instead, he ordered:
"Xiao He, go outside the city gate and call Wang Quanfa and Li Dahe!"

"Yes!"

When He Yunfu saw this, he naturally knew that Yang Yuanshan was going to unify the deployment.

He did not ask any more questions and instead told his soldiers to stop building fortifications and take a rest.

……

Not long after, Wang Quanfa and Li Dahe hurried over followed by Zhang Xiaohe.

"Captain, are you looking for us?"

"Well, I want to adjust the deployment."

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Then he asked the two of them to go with He Yunfu to a sheltered battlement on the city wall.

Then he spoke:
"Five to six thousand people from the Japanese 2nd Brigade have already arrived at Yunzhong City.

It is expected to arrive here in three or four days.

The Xinkou Pass was severely damaged by our artillery fire, and it is rather troublesome to rebuild it to a usable state.

So I thought, let’s just not confront them head-on.”

"Three or four days? There's no rush at all!

Captain, with such a long time, as long as we mobilize some villagers in Xinxian and Jinchang counties to help, we will definitely be able to build the fortifications, right? "

He Yunfu felt there was no need to change strategy.

A blocking battle with complete fortifications is much easier to fight than an unobstructed encounter battle!
"No need.

Wouldn't it be nice to use this time to let the soldiers have a good rest and practice their shooting skills?

I have a way to deal with the Japs even without fortifications!"

Yang Yuanshan waved his hands with a firm attitude.

He is not an old stubborn person. Why should he use difficult methods when there are easy ways to eliminate the Japanese?

"Captain, how do you want to fight?"

Wang Quanfa and Li Dahe asked almost in unison, their faces full of curiosity.

Of course, they have been thinking a lot about how to deal with the Japanese in the past two days, but they have not come up with any method that does not rely on fortifications.

"Lure the enemy deep into our territory!"

Yang Yuanshan uttered four words.

"Lure the enemy deeper?
"Captain, do you want to swallow up this brigade in one gulp?"

Wang Quanfa understood his intention immediately.

It's nothing more than setting up a pocket formation and letting the Japanese in to fight.

"That's right. Since the Japanese dare to send a brigade to our regiment, I will certainly help them."

Yang Yuanshan answered with a grim smile.

In his eyes, he seemed to have seen the entire Japanese brigade, all of them lying dead in the Xinkou area.

His system rewards are so huge that his hands are soft!
"Captain, how do we lure the enemy deep into our territory?

Are you asking us to fake defeat?"

He Yunfu asked.

“It’s simple, just pretend that we are short of troops.

Don’t we have three battalions here now?
No need! It will easily scare the Japanese.

Quanfa, your Third Battalion will withdraw to the northern city wall of Xin County to deploy defenses.

Dahe, your fourth battalion, use two companies to ambush in the mountains and forests on both sides of the Hutuo River Valley.

Only one infantry company and one artillery company were left to rely on the fortifications to block the enemy head-on.

Once the Japanese come into the range of your artillery, pretend that you are short of shells, fire five or ten rounds at them, and then withdraw to Xin County.

Once the artillery retreated, the infantry also retreated while fighting, so that the Japanese would think that we had lost too many men and ammunition after the Battle of Xinkou, and that our combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced.

"Captain, if this happens, won't the Japanese attack Xinkou Pass?"

He Yunfu asked.

"good.

Your Second Battalion, while guarding this city wall, must also pretend that you have run out of ammunition. Fight a few rounds and then retreat to Xin County.

Lure them to attack the city gate.

At this time, the Japanese must have thought they had won the battle and rushed towards the city gate quickly.

As long as their entire army rushes to the city gate, we will give them a great gift."

The more Yang Yuanshan spoke, the more excited he became.

I feel this plan is highly feasible.

"What kind of gift?"

Wang Quanfa was curious.

"Hey, don't we have so many fuel tanks for flamethrowers?

Lao He, you will bring your men to bury two explosives every 10 meters at the Xinkou Pass, and then bury the explosives and fuses.

After the Japanese occupy the Xinkou Pass, you will detonate the explosives.

I will make sure that none of these sons of bitches can escape!" Yang Yuanshan laughed, as if he saw the Japanese soldiers screaming in the fire.

Hearing this idea, the eyes of the three people present lit up.

Although the Xinkou Pass is long, there is no soil and water to put out the fire. Once a large number of fuel tanks are detonated, the Japanese will either be burned to death or jump off the pass and die. There is absolutely no third way!
However, Wang Quanfa still reminded hesitantly:

"Captain, the Japs can't be that stupid. The entire army is staying at Xinkou Pass!"

"It's okay, just kill most of their central army.

Their vanguard will definitely chase the Second Battalion and head towards Xin County. Then it will be your battalion's turn to stop them.

As for their rear army, Dahe, you can also bury fuel tanks and explosives in suitable places outside the Xinkou Pass and detonate them in time.

In addition, your two companies that have been ambushed in advance, once you see the fire on the city wall, you must rush out and block their escape route. You are not allowed to let even a single Japanese soldier escape!"

Yang Yuanshan answered confidently.

He Yunfu and the other two thought about it and immediately felt that this idea did not seem to be a big problem.

Besides wasting time lighting the oil tank.

But there are plenty of these things in the special forces regiment, so there is no need to feel sorry for them.

So they all nodded and agreed with his idea.

Then the four of them discussed some details together and began to act in full swing.

……

Yang Yuanshan came down from the Xinkou Pass and walked through the streets of Xin County. He saw many ordinary people driving donkey carts carrying their belongings and heading south.

In front of the rows of troops were soldiers in gray uniforms leading the way.

Can't help but feel a little puzzled.

He immediately asked Zhang Xiaohe to find out what was going on.

After a while, he came back to report:
"Captain, those are the people arranged by Political Commissar Zhou, taking away the fellow villagers who are willing to go to our base.

They are heading to Qixia Town."

"Great! Great job, Lao Zhou."

Yang Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction.

He thought to himself: It would be great if the time comes for me to retreat, Xin County and Jinchang County could become empty cities.

……

After leaving Xin County, Yang Yuanshan returned to the temporary command post on Yuwangling. It was already late.

Seeing him coming back, Zhan Haishan stopped writing and said with a smile:
"Captain, you're back?

Did you encounter any danger?

You are worth a million dollars now!"

"What one million dollars?

what happened? "

Yang Yuanshan asked in surprise.

"Political Commissar Zhao just sent a telegram saying he got intelligence that the Japs are offering a reward of one million dollars for your head!"

Zhan Haishan explained.

"Hahaha, good fellow, then am I more valuable than the leader now?
I remember that the reward that Shinozuka Kazuo offered to the leader was only 50, right?"

Yang Yuanshan laughed.

Being more valuable than Li Yunlong is enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life!
He decided that the next time he saw the other person, he would show off in front of her.

Look at how wonderful that guy’s frustrated black face is.

“Haha, yeah.

Even our boss, the Japanese didn't offer a reward of 100 million!"

"It seems that we have really made the Japanese angry this time.

Very good! "

Yang Yuanshan nodded, feeling extremely happy.

Is there anything more satisfying in this world than deliberately making your enemies dislike you, but having them be unable to do anything but rage?

He couldn't help but joked:
"Haishan, if our group runs out of money, you can ask the monks to kidnap me and take me to the Japanese to exchange for money!
One million dollars, it would be a waste not to take it!
Ha ha ha ha……"

"Captain, you are so ruthless that you even sell yourself out!
The Japanese would be so shocked that their jaws would drop."

Zhan Haishan also laughed.

……

After some joking, Yang Yuanshan got down to business:
"By the way, Haishan, was this also included in Political Commissar Zhao's telegram?

Did you tell me about the situation in Jizhong?"

Zhan Haishan shook his head:
"No. I guess there's no new developments over there."

"Okay. This Okamura Ji Ning is really difficult to deal with!"

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but sigh.

I thought to myself: No wonder this old guy could become the longest-serving commander of the Jibei Front Army on the Japanese side, he really is quite capable!
……

The next morning.

The sky is dim.

Gao Yuanzhi sent someone to inform Yang Yuanshan, and then took the soldiers of the 1st Artillery Battalion of the Special Service Regiment, eating dry food, driving mules and horses, and pulling artillery, and set off towards Jinyang City in the south.

After they finished leaving, Yang Yuanshan also arranged for people to notify the three regiments in the Wutai Division and asked them to set off as well and follow the artillery battalion.

After spending a whole morning, Zhan Haishan and I finally sent them all away.

Just as he was about to return to the headquarters, a sentry suddenly shouted to him:

"Captain, there are Japanese planes in the east!"

Yang Yuanshan raised his head and took a closer look through the telescope on his neck, and saw two reconnaissance planes flying from east to west in the sky, flying towards this side very lightly at high altitude.

It quickly grows from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a dragonfly.

Look at the pattern on the fuselage, it’s exactly the Japanese’s!
Zhan Haishan beside him asked hurriedly:
“Captain, should we quickly send someone to inform Captain Gao that they are hiding?
Don't let the Japanese find out where they are?"

Yang Yuanshan thought about it for a moment and shook his head:

"No need. Firstly, it's too late, and secondly, I can't wait for the Japs to find me!"

Hearing this, Zhan Haishan was a little confused.

asked curiously:

"Captain, what do you mean by this?"

“Hey, this kills two birds with one stone.

First, of course, we wanted to make the Japanese think that our main force had turned around and headed for Jinyang City.

Wouldn't it be great if this could make the old Japanese Okamura realize that Jinyang City is in danger and immediately transfer troops from central Hebei to the west for assistance?
Second, if we can trick the Japanese into thinking that our main force has withdrawn from Xinkou, and urge their Second Brigade to hurry here and kill us, that would be great."

Yang Yuanshan explained with a smile.

"I see.

Captain, you know what, if I were a Japanese soldier, I might have made a wrong judgment."

Zhan Haishan's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

But he immediately realized the risk and asked again:

"Captain, what if the Japanese find out about this and send bombers to bomb the artillery battalion?"

"Then it all depends on whether the Japs dare to send bombers.

Second, it depends on whether Gao Yuanzhi is smart enough.

I think that the Japanese won’t dare to send more after losing so many bombers here in the past few days.

After all, for them, even if airplanes can be produced continuously, pilots cannot appear out of thin air, right?
Doesn't it take half a year or a year of training and cultivation?"

Yang Yuanshan knew that after all these years of war, the Japanese had a noticeable shortage of veteran and skilled soldiers.

Scarce resources like pilots are mostly allocated to the navy. It is highly likely that the Army Aviation, which is raised by a stepmother, will find it difficult to get rapid replenishment from the rear.

Even if there are replenishments, priority will definitely be given to the south rather than the Hebei-Northern Front Army.

After all, they are now in a mess with the British in Southeast Asia!

……

After hearing what Yang Yuanshan said, Zhan Haishan also nodded:

"That's true.

We have killed hundreds of Japanese pilots in the past year. If I were the commander of the Japanese, I would not act rashly again. "

“Hehe, I guess that old devil Okamura must be having a headache about how to deal with the situation in Jin.

If they want to sweep us, we don't have enough troops.

But if they sit back and do nothing, the geographical location of Jin is too important. Once they give up, the situation in the entire northern Hebei region will take a sharp turn for the worse."

Yang Yuanshan laughed happily.

"Hahaha, yes.

Our current situation is indeed very good.

No matter how you look at it, this little devil is like a rabbit with a long tail!"

Zhan Haishan also laughed.

Feel that victory is in sight.

From the time we crossed the Yellow River in 37 to now, five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Maybe it's time to win a complete victory!
