I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 985: Without twenty years of cerebral thrombosis, I can’t think of such an outrageous operation!

I have to say that this old devil Shigeo Mashiko is indeed extremely brave.

Even though they were in such a desperate situation, they did not choose to give up.

Or rather, his mind was still clear.

I know that even if I turn around and run now, it would be impossible to escape from being surrounded by so many people in gray military uniforms.

After all, the Type 38 rifles in their hands are definitely not fire sticks!

It’s better to fight to the death.

See if there is any chance to complete the mission of blowing up the artillery.

By then, even if I have been loyal to His Majesty Tian Huang, my family will at least receive some preferential treatment!
……

Then, with the roar of Mashiko Shigeo, the battle scene became more and more intense.

Soon, grenade launchers and Type 92 heavy machine guns from various regiments of our army also began to join the battlefield.

The Mashiko Squadron, armed only with light machine guns, was already outnumbered, and now faced with such brutal firepower, even if they lay still on the ground, they would still be quickly destroyed.

……

It was a short and fierce battle that lasted less than half an hour and ended neatly.

All the Japanese soldiers in Shigeo Mashiko's squadron were killed on the ground.

Of course, many people in each regiment of our army were killed or injured.

The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and blood.

……

After hearing the gunfire stop, Gao Yuanzhi, who had been awakened long ago and was arranging the soldiers in the camp to move the artillery positions, immediately prepared to go to the place where the firing had just taken place to check the situation.

Deputy Battalion Commander Chen Liangwa grabbed him and asked:

"Lao Gao, it looks like the Japanese have been wiped out. Do we still need to move our artillery positions?"

Gao Yuanzhi answered seriously:

"Of course it's necessary.

What if some Japanese soldiers escape during the chaos and go back to call for artillery fire to cover our area?
Lao Chen, you and the soldiers must speed up the transfer.

Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation just because you are lazy!"

Chen Liangwa's face suddenly became serious when he heard this, and he quickly took the order:

"Yes!"

……

After arranging matters in the camp, Gao Yuanzhi hurried away with two guards.

At this moment, many torches had already been lit in the battlefield area where the fighting had just taken place, making the area very bright.

After a while, he saw Ji Yongcheng and several other regiment commanders with smoke all over their faces.

He quickly asked loudly:

"Captain Ji, what's going on?"

Ji Yongcheng looked up and saw that it was him. He forced a smile and answered in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"It's okay. A group of about a hundred Japanese soldiers sneaked in for a surprise attack, but we wiped them out.

Captain Gao, rest assured, as long as our regiments are not wiped out, no Japanese will be able to reach your position!"

As he spoke, Gao Yuanzhi had already walked to the battlefield. Looking at the mess, blood, and heavy casualties on the ground, he couldn't help but frown.

With a quick glance, he noticed that the expressions of Ji Yongcheng, Lu Jilie, He Dingwei and others were all very ugly.

How could you not know that everyone had suffered a great loss?

He quickly asked again:

“Commanders, it looks like you’ve suffered a lot of casualties.

I just heard a lot of gunfire, it doesn't seem like it was just the movement of a hundred or so Japanese soldiers?"

"These damned little Japanese soldiers have a strong fighting spirit. They are all equipped with light machine guns and have ammunition magazines on their waists. They are really different.

Fortunately, each member of our regiments now has a gun, and we have no shortage of grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, so we can easily deal with them.

Otherwise, today, they might have gotten to you."

Ji Yongcheng explained.

Gao Yuanzhi was a little surprised when he heard this:
"My goodness, a light machine gun for each person?

The Japanese are spending a lot of money this time!

How much did your people lose?

If there are any wounded, they can be quickly sent to our field hospital."

As soon as he said this, Ji Yongcheng and others' eyes suddenly lit up.

He quickly asked:

"Captain Gao, we estimate that nearly 200 soldiers have been killed and nearly 300 have been wounded.

If we send them all to your field hospital, can they be treated?"

“Just three hundred people, no problem.

We still have thousands of wounded in our field hospital!"

Gao Yuanzhi answered confidently.

He didn't know that the hospital director Liang Hongyuan had already been scolding Yang Yuanshan for treating the medical staff like animals.

After all, they had just managed to clear out most of the wounded from the previous battle, and before they had a few days' rest, they were overwhelmed by a large number of wounded again.

How can I not have opinions?
Although the treatment these days is extremely simple, it basically involves surgery and simple medication, leaving the injured to rely on willpower to endure.

But the thousands of injured people still make medical staff feel nervous!

It’s not a pleasant feeling to be unable to perform surgeries and watch the wounded die in front of you!
Only Tian Yu, who had become a qualified surgeon through continuous practice, had no complaints about Yang Yuanshan.

Instead, he was filled with worry, fearing that he would be carried back as well.

……

Of course, Ji Yongcheng and his companions didn't know that the Xingshupo Field Hospital was now overwhelmed.

Hearing Gao Yuanzhi's words, he was immediately excited and said quickly:
"It would be great!

Captain Gao, we will have people carry out the wounded immediately. Please send a guide to take them to the field hospital."

"no problem."

Gao Yuanzhi nodded and arranged for a guard beside him to act as a guide.

……

At this time, He Dingwei suddenly pointed at the movement of the First Artillery Battalion in the distance and asked Gao Yuanzhi:
"Captain Gao, what is your battalion doing?
The Japanese have been wiped out, why don't you continue to sleep?"

"Our position has been exposed, and we must move.

Otherwise, if the Japanese artillery suddenly comes out and covers this area with firepower, we will be finished."

After hearing what he said, He Dingwei and others nodded repeatedly, and immediately arranged for their people to make arrangements and move to the camping location.

However, Ji Yongcheng couldn't help but curse:
"The damn Japanese devils made us unable to sleep peacefully!"

His new 7th Regiment suffered the heaviest casualties in this battle. Now he has to transport the wounded and relocate positions. He is extremely depressed.

His political commissar Shao Chuan quickly enlightened him:
"Captain, didn't the Japanese send us so many light machine guns?
Aren't you secretly happy? "

Upon hearing this, Ji Yongcheng's eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Just now he noticed that the light machine guns used by the Japanese were not those shabby Type 99 rifles.

The soldiers suffered so many casualties, but getting more than a hundred light machine guns was a considerable gain.

However, He Dingwei and others also heard Shao Chuan's words and quickly jumped out and shouted:
"Captain Ji, our several regiments have put in a lot of effort in today's battle. Can we also share some of the spoils?"

“That’s right, that’s right!

You can’t eat alone!”

"We don't want too much. 25 per regiment, isn't that too much?"

……

Hearing that this group of people were asking for such a high price, Ji Yongcheng immediately jumped up and down in panic, shouting:

"How many are there in total? You actually said there are 25 per regiment?
impossible! Absolutely impossible! "

……

Seeing these regiment commanders going to divide the spoils, Gao Yuanzhi had no interest in them and immediately turned around and returned to his own camp.

After all, they were just over a hundred light machine guns, which were nothing to him who had seen the world.

……

When Gao Yuanzhi returned to his camp, he saw that the battalion commander Xu Wei, who was originally on Xigang Mountain, had arrived. He asked hurriedly:

"Old Xu, why did you run down the mountain?"

"Hey, with all the noise down there, how can I still sleep?

what happened?

I just saw that the fighting was fierce up ahead, and I was wondering whether I should send a company down to provide support!
This is not our own special forces team. I don't have any confidence in them at all!"

Xu Wei said something that would make He Dingwei, Ji Yongcheng and others angry if they heard it. Gao Yuanzhi chuckled:
"Hey, Old Xu, don't let anyone hear you say this!"

Then he explained:

"Just now, more than a hundred elite Japanese soldiers tried to launch a surprise attack, but were discovered by Captain Ji and his men and were completely wiped out."

"Good guy!

This little Japanese is so brave!

More than a hundred people dare to stroke my beard?

Are you tired of living? "

Xu Wei was extremely surprised.

He hasn't heard of such a thing for a long time since the Special Forces Regiment continued to achieve impressive results!
At least in front of their special forces regiment, a brigade or even a division cannot guarantee safety.

Not to mention a squadron!

Gao Yuanzhi nodded:
"Maybe the Japanese thought that by equipping their men with light machine guns, they could emulate the special operations company led by Monk."

……

With a few words, Gao Yuanzhi sent Xu Wei away. He then ordered the telegraph operator to send a telegram to Yang Yuanshan to report the matter.

Only then did he lead his soldiers and work hard to push the artillery.

There are still 36 mountain cannons left in their battalion, and it is not an easy task to move them all.

……

On Yuwang Ridge.

Yang Yuanshan was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the telegraph operator.

He stood up and saw Gao Yuanzhi's telegram, and his brows immediately frowned.

I couldn't help but think of Yamamoto Ikki who had been burned to death a long time ago.

I thought to myself: Could it be that there is someone on the Japanese side who has inherited his mantle?
However, it seems that I am not very familiar with this business!

Rushing into the encirclement so foolishly and being defeated in one fell swoop?

Zhan Haishan was also awakened. Seeing that his expression was a little strange, he quickly asked:
"Captain, what's wrong? Has the enemy situation changed?"

Yang Yuanshan shook his head:
"That's not true.

It was Gao Yuanzhi who said that the Japanese sent a small elite force, all equipped with light machine guns, to launch a surprise attack.

In the end, they were completely wiped out by Captain Ji and his men."

“A sneak attack by a small elite unit?

The Japanese are running out of tricks, and they are just trying to get something for nothing!"

Zhan Haishan saw through the Japanese's purpose at a glance.

Then he asked suspiciously:
"Captain, since the Japanese have been completely wiped out, why are you still so worried?"

Yang Yuanshan forced himself to relax his brows and explained:

"I'm not worried about anything, I just thought of the Japanese Yamamoto Special Forces.

If the Japanese who came to attack today had the strength of Yamamoto's special forces, who knows, they might have succeeded in their attack."

"Hahaha, Captain, I don't think so.

Not to mention that Yamamoto Ikki was burned to death by us outside Shuiquan City.

Even if this old devil were to come back to life and want to launch a surprise attack on our First Artillery Battalion which is protected by five regiments, I'm afraid there would be no chance of success, right?

You know, the equipment of the five regiments led by Captain He is far better than that of the independent regiment at the beginning!"

"Hahaha, that's true.

Our troops are now completely different from what they were before!"

Yang Yuanshan was completely relieved.

Things are different now. Even if Yamamoto's special forces make a comeback, what should our military units fear?
……

In Jinyang city.

Both Iwamatsu Kazuo and Asakanomiya Sakuhiko were in a good mood before going to bed today.

Because Okamura Jining had called them back and said that he had mobilized the 1st and 8th Divisions to move westward immediately to sweep away the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi and resolve the crisis in their Jinyang City.

So now, they were sleeping soundly.

The tossing and turning, anxiety and inability to sleep in the past few days have completely disappeared.

However, before they woke up, someone rushed to their respective doors and woke them up.

"General/Commander, a brave warrior from Mashiko Squadron has returned."

"Nani? Mashiko Squadron?

Baka! Can't you report back at dawn?"

Soon, the two men came to the command room with gloomy faces and full of bad temper.

Prince Sakuhiko of Asaka saw that there was a soldier who was in a dishevel and trembling with fear.

I knew immediately that it was definitely not good news.

He immediately shouted:

"Quick, tell me what's going on?

Did Yizi-kun fail?"

This soldier was of course a soldier under Shigeo Mashiko. When Shigeo Mashiko led his soldiers to sneak into our army's camp, he was left at a distance to serve as a spy.

When he saw that his captain and his men had disappeared without a trace, he knew something was wrong and immediately took advantage of the cover of darkness to flee back to Jinyang City before our soldiers could find his hiding place.

At this moment, hearing the question from Prince Asaka Sakuhiko, who was wearing a general's uniform, he quickly told the situation honestly.

He was surprised to hear that the person he had placed high hopes on, Shigeo Mashiko, had failed so easily without even making a splash.

Prince Asaka Sakehiko was immediately furious and roared wildly:
"Baka! Mashiko Shigeo is a brainless idiot, can't he scout out the whole thing before taking action?

It is so stupid for a squadron of elite soldiers to die like this!!!

The locust army's cause was ruined by these rubbish!"

Iwamatsu Kazuo next to him was also very depressed and couldn't help but complain in his heart: It was you who came up with such a bad idea!

There were already few troops in the city, and now another squadron has been lost!
It turns out that the royal family is unreliable. I'm afraid all the previous battle records were falsely claimed.

……

After a long while, Prince Asaka Sakuhiko calmed down and told the frightened soldier to get out.

Ask Iwamatsu Kazuo:
"Yansong-kun, what do you think about the current situation?"

Iwamatsu Kazuo made a bitter face and answered dryly:
"General, this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers are very strong and have sufficient ammunition. We should firmly hold our ground and wait for the First and Eighth Divisions.

However, since the Eighth Route Army did not retreat overnight, they will definitely continue to bombard Jinyang City tomorrow.

I think we can arrange for the Chinese troublemakers in the city to wear the clothes of our locust army and go to the north city wall to be bombed!
Don’t the Eighth Route Army have plenty of artillery shells?
Then let them kill each other!
And our own warriors will withdraw to reduce casualties."

"Yoshi! Yansong-kun, this move of yours is very good.

Those damn Chinese troublemakers all deserve to die!
It would be an honor for them to die for my locust army."

Prince Sakuhiko Asaka's eyes lit up.

Praise repeatedly.

But then he reminded:

“Yansong Jun, you must remind the Locust Army warriors that even though they have withdrawn from the city wall, they must not let their guard down.

Once the Eighth Route Army launched an infantry siege on the city, they had to respond immediately.

The safety of Jinyang City is related to the military destiny of our empire, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Don't worry, General.

I will arrange it.”

Prince Asaka's eyes rolled around, and he nodded slightly, saying sinisterly:

"Tomorrow, have our reporters take some photos of these people being killed by the Eighth Route Army's artillery shells, and publish them to various newspapers!
Didn’t the Eighth Route Army always claim that they were fighting to protect these unruly Chinese people?

Then let us let the world see how the Eighth Route Army protected them!
When the time comes, I'll see how these damned rats can make excuses!"

Upon hearing this, Kazuo Iwamatsu nodded repeatedly.

I thought to myself: You are worthy of being one of the masterminds of the Nanjing Massacre!

Indeed, insidious and vicious!
……

They didn't know that if Yang Yuanshan knew what they were doing, he would probably laugh his head off.

I thought to myself: If you haven’t had cerebral thrombosis for twenty years, I’m afraid you can’t think of such an outrageous thing!
If you want to frame someone, at least let the civilians who were killed in the explosion wear their own clothes!
Even more vicious, get some old, weak, women and children involved!

Now you actually ask them to put on your Japanese military uniforms and perform this. Isn't that bullshit?
Who wouldn’t think they are traitors if they saw this?

Besides, aren't you worried that your own military morale will be dampened by your performance?

The First Army was trapped in Jinyang City and suffered heavy losses from the bombing. Isn't this extremely embarrassing?
