I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 987 You are just taking advantage of others!

After the Fifth Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment returned, the 505 young and strong men they brought back were naturally included in the training scope by Yang Yuanshan.

However, before he could finish training these soldiers, at three or four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Han Yang also hurried back from the west with a large number of troops.

Like Zhao Tietou, the people led by Han Yang were all covered in dust and looked very tired.

Someone was walking and suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground with his eyes closed. It was unknown how many days he hadn't slept.

But the number of young and strong people he brought back was obviously much more than that brought back by Zhao Tietou.

……

As soon as he saw Yang Yuanshan, Han Yang complained:

"Captain, I am really exhausted this time. I didn't dare to sleep all day for fear of wasting time."

Yang Yuanshan quickly found a seat for him to sit down, and brought him some water, before he started to retort:
"Don't try this on me, kid!

Didn't you choose this mission yourself?
And I see you are alive and well, nothing is wrong with you."

Han Yang drank half a pot of water in one gulp, and did not refute. He smiled and changed the subject:

"Captain, guess how many soldiers I brought back this time?"

Yang Yuanshan just took a quick look at their returning team and had some idea of ​​what was going on.

Now seeing his expression as if he had found a treasure, I immediately guessed a higher number:

"It looks like there are at least a thousand people, right?"

"Yes. More than 1200 people!

Hey, is the Fifth Battalion back?
I guess Zhao Tietou definitely didn’t bring back as many people as I did!”

Han Yang answered proudly.

The corners of his mouth are so upturned that you can hang an oil bottle on it.

"Well, you are quite capable.

how did you do that?
You win this time!

From Tietou, only 500 people were brought back."

Yang Yuanshan asked curiously.

Since Han Yang did not take on the task of pursuing the remnants of the Japanese army, Yang Yuanshan could understand that he brought back more people.

But he didn't expect there would be so many more!
It's simply an overwhelming advantage.

“Hey, there are comrades from the 358th Brigade in many villages in the northwest who have been active there before.

When the villagers saw our gray military uniforms, they were not afraid but rather very enthusiastic.

As soon as I mentioned the need to recruit soldiers and suppress bandits, the villagers were all very enthusiastic.

Not only did they rush to send their children to join the army, some people also sent me intelligence on the bandits, which allowed us to easily wipe out three gangs of two to three hundred people.

We recruited more than 300 accomplices with no bad records to join our team.”

Han Yang explained with a chuckle.

"Good fellow, you are just taking advantage of the situation.

Zhao Tietou's loss was unfair!"

Yang Yuanshan felt that the guy in front of him had really good luck.

On the contrary, Zhao Tietou had to work very hard because the forest he was going through was more dangerous!
The mass work in the villages also required him to put in a lot of effort before he could achieve any results.

As a result, he consumed too much extra time and energy.

"Hehe, there's nothing we can do about it. Wasn't it you who decided where to recruit soldiers?

This is not my fault! ”

Of course Han Yang knew that he had picked it up.

Hey hey straight music.

Seeing his smug look, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but want to kick him:
"Virtue!"

At this time, Han Yang seemed to remember something, and suddenly frowned and said carefully:

"Hey, Captain, there's something I think you need to know."

Yang Yuanshan suddenly felt something was wrong.

I remembered the scene in Journey to the West when I was watching it before I traveled through time, when Bodhi Patriarch taught Sun Wukong——

"What do you mean by repaying a favor? If you get into trouble in the future, just don't tell your teacher about it."

He immediately said cautiously:
"You kid, didn't you get into trouble?
Don't let me take the blame for you!"

"Hey, hey, no!"

Han Yang shook his head like a rattle.

Then explained:

"Captain, isn't this to recruit more soldiers as quickly as possible?
I asked the soldiers of the guard battalion to give a batch of their Type 38 rifles and light machine guns to the militia captains in each village.

I just asked them to help me promote and recruit soldiers in villages I am familiar with.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to recruit so many people in such a short time!"

"Good guy!

I was wondering why I saw quite a few soldiers from the guard battalion just now, but all they had left were the box guns on their waists!
It turned out that it was you, kid, who sent all the guys who were having dinner out!

Aren't you afraid of meeting the Japanese on the road? I'll make some dumplings for you, right?"

Although Yang Yuanshan seemed to disagree with Han Yang's approach, he was actually constantly sighing in his heart: This guy has a really smart brain.

The 1.38 rifle and Type 99 light machine guns solved the big problem.

Well done indeed!

As for equipment, there is plenty of it in your system warehouse.

Not to mention re-arming the hundreds of people in the guard battalion, it would be a piece of cake.

Even if we rebuild the entire secret service corps, it wouldn't be a big deal.

……

Han Yang also saw that Yang Yuanshan was not angry, so he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and replied:

"We have cleared out all the Japanese in this area, so how can there be a large group of them?

Unless the 2nd Brigade arrives.

But if they really arrive, the sound of the artillery battalion's guns will definitely shake the earth, and we will definitely hear it, so we just need to be more careful."

"Okay. I know about this.

You should go down and have a rest immediately.

As for the equipment, let Wang Ye take people to the valley in the east to move it.

I had the equipment put there.”

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand, signaling him to go to bed quickly and not die suddenly here.

……

Zhao Tietou and Han Yang brought back a total of 1700 new recruits, which was still a bit far from the 3000 that Yang Yuanshan wanted.

However, after careful calculation, he found that the people on hand were enough to restore more than 2% of the manpower of each battalion under his command, so he was not unhappy. Thinking that the Japanese 2500nd Brigade should be coming soon, Yang Yuanshan intensively trained the approximately new recruits on hand for another day and then distributed them to each battalion in a hurry.

The first was Wang Gensheng's Second Artillery Battalion, which recruited more than 300 literate soldiers and formed a second mountain artillery company equipped with 12 75mm mountain cannons.

However, Yang Yuanshan only had 8 75mm mountain cannons on hand, so he had to wait for 4 more.

However, even so, the Second Artillery Battalion instantly became a powerful artillery battalion equipped with 20 75mm mountain cannons and 12 120mm heavy mortars!
Compared with Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment, which had only 12 Jin-made 75mm mountain cannons, it is more than three times stronger!
Once the gunners are fully trained, their combat effectiveness may even be no weaker than that of the 1st Artillery Battalion led by Gao Yuanzhi!
……

In addition to the 600nd Artillery Battalion, the rd, th and th Infantry Battalions each received new recruits.

Let their vacancies be filled instantly.

Finally, the remaining 400 recruits in Yang Yuanshan's hands were assigned to the two anti-aircraft artillery battalions of Feng Shuanglin and Guo Youqing.

Now that the Japanese bombers dare not come, they are not in a hurry to recruit more people.

Divide into 200 people each and train them slowly, which is enough for now.

Wait until there are new recruits later and continue to replenish them.

Feng Shuanglin and Guo Youqing both knew the big picture and had no complaints.

……

After all the new recruits were assigned to various battalions, Yang Yuanshan felt relieved.

I found a comfortable place on the hillside, lay down and looked at the clouds in the sky.

But before his relaxing days lasted for a few hours, Zhan Haishan came to him hurriedly with two dusty soldiers:

"Captain, Captain Wei from the Special Operations Company sent someone back to report the news."

Yang Yuanshan quickly jumped up and looked at the two soldiers:
"What's going on with the monk?"

The two men hurriedly reported to him excitedly:

"Captain, our special operations company has set fire to the mountain artillery unit of the 2nd Brigade of the Japanese on the mountain road of Yanmen Pass!

Destroy at least 10 of their guns and most of their shells!"

"Great! Your special operations company did a great job!"

Yang Yuanshan was so excited that he almost jumped three feet high.

——In the past few days, Gao Yuanzhi’s 1st Artillery Battalion has been continuously bombarding Jinyang City, causing many casualties to the Japanese.

So Yang Yuanshan had no choice but to judge whether Wei Dayong and his team's actions were successful based on the reward prompts that kept popping up in his system.

Now I am naturally happy to hear the report.

He pondered:
If the information provided by Zhao Gang was correct, this Japanese brigade only had a total of 18 mountain cannons and field cannons.

Now that Wei Dayong and his men have destroyed 10 of them, there are only 8 guns left at most.

Once they arrive at Xinkou Pass, they will definitely be beaten to pieces by Wang Gensheng's 32 cannons!
A good tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves.

No matter how accurate the Japanese artillery is, they are certainly no match for our heavy artillery, which is four times the number of ours!

At worst, we can just fight hard, one for two, or even one for three, isn’t that enough?

……

Hearing the good news, Zhan Haishan beside him was also very surprised and asked quickly:

"Tell me quickly, how did you do it?
The Japanese artillery unit must be deployed behind the marching team and be heavily guarded, right? "

Those two soldiers from the special operations company who were sent back by Wei Dayong to report were of course eloquent people.

Seeing Zhan Haishan asking, they immediately started talking one after another, recounting the whole matter which was not complicated to begin with -

It turned out that after Wei Dayong arrived at the valley where Yanmen Pass was located, he scouted the terrain while sending soldiers to Yanmen Pass to investigate the enemy situation.

Soon, they discovered that the vanguard of the Japanese 2nd Brigade had arrived at Yanmen Pass.

In addition, there were two squadrons of Japanese troops stationed at Yanmen Pass, and it was impossible for their dozens of people to capture the pass in a short time.

So Wei Dayong, Zuo Feng and others discussed it and found several suitable places for ambush on the mountain road more than 20 miles away from the city.

The soldiers of the special operations company were arranged to weave the mountain vines into ropes and use them to climb up the towering mountain walls.

Then the incendiary bombs and several fuel tanks were tied together and hung with vines in the depression in the middle of the mountain wall.

The large force of the Japanese 2nd Brigade hurriedly crossed the Yanmen Pass and marched in a long snake formation on the mountain road.

Especially the artillery troops, when they reached their ambush point, the soldiers of the special operations company suddenly detonated incendiary bombs and fuel tanks.

This time, within a range of five to six hundred meters, a rain of fire fell from the sky. The fire mixed with incendiary agent and fuel fell on the Japanese artillery team, instantly causing all the artillerymen to scream miserably.

Although the Japanese were well-trained and had quick reactions, they had no way of avoiding such an attack from the sky!

The artillerymen were rolling on the ground as they were burned by the fire, but they were unable to put out the flames, not to mention the devilish howlings they made.

The mountain cannons and field guns were also burned to pieces by the fire.

Major General Shiro Mano, commander of the Japanese 2nd Brigade, was certainly not stupid. After crossing Yanmen Pass, he saw that the mountain road was narrow and was worried about an enemy ambush.

Therefore, all the artillery pieces were not gathered together, but were divided into three or four small teams and marched separately.

However, the ambush of Wei Dayong and others was also carried out in several places, and the attacks were launched simultaneously, so Mano Shiro's arrangement did not play a big role!
But their most tragic thing was not the huge losses of artillery and artillery.

Instead, a batch of artillery shells were detonated by the fire, causing a chain reaction.

"boom!!!"

There was an earth-shattering explosion, and the shock wave and flying shrapnel were almost visible to the naked eye, sweeping over a thousand meters around.

Not only did it tear hundreds of Japanese soldiers nearby into pieces, it also caused a nearby mountain wall to collapse, blocking most of the entire mountain trail.

This directly divided the Japanese army's front and rear armies into two.

The large group in the front consisted of about 4000 people, while the group at the back had only three or four hundred people.

They looked like little lambs that had been blown away from the sheepfold by a storm, and were only able to scream and shout in panic.

Faced with such an unexpected surprise, Wei Dayong, who hung himself on the cliff with vines, would certainly not show mercy.

He immediately grinned and ordered the soldiers of the special operations company to launch an attack on the hundreds of Japanese rear troops from a high position.

The Japanese soldiers, who were already crying for their parents due to the rain of fire and explosions, became even more panicked.

They were running around in all directions like headless flies.

However, no matter how fast they ran, how could they be faster than the bullets and grenades of the special operations company soldiers?

Amid the dense gunfire and explosions, this group of Japanese soldiers lost more than two hundred people in five minutes.

Just when Wei Dayong was preparing to make further efforts to send this group of Japanese devils back to their hometown.

Because Yang Yuanshan had prepared too many incendiary bombs and fuel tanks for the special operations company, the fire was now burning too fiercely.

The flames ignited the grass and trees on the mountain wall. The special operations company soldiers who were lying in ambush there felt that their hair was about to be singed. They could no longer continue to bully the Japanese and had to retreat in time.

However, after evacuating to a safe location, Wei Dayong did not want to withdraw directly to Xinkou.

——He hasn’t had enough fun yet!

Instead, he had a heated argument with Zuo Feng and other company and platoon leaders, and then forcibly suppressed their objections.

The final decision was: lead the soldiers of the special operations company to take a detour towards Gang County and try to get ahead of the Japanese troops.

Be prepared to wait and see for the Japanese, and continue to look for opportunities to harass them!
Of course, this reckless monk did not get carried away and forget everything.

He still sent two people back to report to Yang Yuanshan.
