I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 993: You have finished scolding me, what should I scold?
Li Yunlong's telegram, of course, agreed with Yang Yuanshan's plan to completely annihilate the 2nd Brigade.

Although Zhan Haishan and Han Yang both breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the telegraph operator's report.

But Yang Yuanshan was not too surprised.

How could he not know what kind of personality Li Yunlong has?

This guy would rather make a scene than be honest for a day!
However, when Yang Yuanshan heard in the telegram that the other side was actually preparing to swallow up the 1st and 8th divisions in one gulp, he felt a sense of admiration in his heart!
Li Yunlong's appetite is too big!

He himself was also thinking about how to deal with these two divisions.

But that was the confidence he gained from relying on external cheats, which was completely incomparable to Li Yunlong's tremendous courage!
Moreover, he didn't think that he could completely annihilate the opponent.

His only intention was to fight a crushing battle and harvest a large number of heads, just like the last battle in Hedi Village.

While he was thinking, another telegraph operator suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Commander, the Fourth Battalion called and said the Japs have arrived!

From a distance, there are about 5000 people.

A dozen scouts have entered their security area!"

"Okay, send a telegram to Wang Gensheng's Second Artillery Battalion, and tell them to be ready. Once the Japanese artillery opens fire, they must immediately counterattack and destroy the Japanese mountain artillery and infantry artillery as quickly as possible!

But don't bomb the Japanese infantry, otherwise they will be scared away!
Then stop firing and move back to be on the safe side!"

The battle was finally about to begin, and Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The voice that gave the order without hesitation was a little cracked.

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator was also infected by his excitement and shouted to take over the order.

Han Yang quickly suggested:

"Captain, how about letting me go to Lao Wang and take a look at the situation?"

“Isn’t it just a brigade of 5000 people?

What are you going to do? Don't you trust Lao He and the others?"

Yang Yuanshan rolled his eyes at him.

It was agreed that the battalion commanders should be trained to be able to take charge of things independently, so he certainly would not let Han Yang interfere with their command.

Han Yang was poured with a basin of cold water, and immediately he felt like a frost-bitten eggplant, shrinking his head and taking a step back.

Zhan Haishan smiled and said:
"Captain, are we just going to sit here and stare at each other?"

“If anyone really can’t sit still, go and help Lao Zhou do mass work.

I guess he's short of staff.

We will have to withdraw in two days."

Yang Yuanshan answered with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Haishan and Han Yang immediately shook their heads, and each of them moved away, pretending to be very busy.

As military generals, it would be too difficult for them to chat with the elderly!
……

At this moment, we were about three or four kilometers outside the Xinkou Pass.

Major General Shiro Mano, commander of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade's 2nd Brigade, rushed here with his large troops.

He ordered the entire brigade to stop and rest, and at the same time ordered the scouts to go forward for reconnaissance.

He, along with the brigade chief of staff Teruo Yamaguchi, climbed up a crooked tree with a telescope and quietly observed the situation ahead.

After a long while, he asked:
“Yamaguchi-kun, it seems that the intelligence from the Front Army and the First Army is not very accurate.

Not all the Eighth Route Army troops went south!

The fortifications in the river valley ahead seem to be very well built.”

Yamaguchi Teruo nodded:

"That's right. I even saw a gray hat of the Eighth Route Army behind a fortification. It's obvious that someone is ambushing!"

Then he opened his mouth and cursed:

"Those Army Aviation idiots are damn bastards!

This is a completely sham reconnaissance!"

Hearing what he said, Mano Shiro was a little speechless.

I thought to myself: You've already finished scolding me for my lines, what am I scolding?

He paused for a few seconds, holding his breath, and was about to ask the other side how to launch an attack, when he suddenly heard several gunshots from the front.

“Snap! Snap…”

He immediately jumped down from the tree as nimbly as a monkey and shouted orders to his men:
"Warriors, all on alert, prepare to attack!"

The Japanese soldiers who had just sat down not long ago immediately stood up, pulled the bolts of their guns, and prepared for battle.

Shows a very good level of training.

At this time, Ogawa Yasuaki, the leader of the scout squad that Mano Shiro had sent out earlier, came running back in a hurry and reported to him:

"Commander, the Eighth Route Army ambushed us in the valley ahead. Their marksmanship is very accurate. Four or five of my warriors were killed!"

"Bageyalu! How many Tubalu are there?"

Mano Shiro roared.

"The number of Tubalu exposed should be no more than... no more than 30 people!"

Ogawa Yasuaki answered tremblingly.

Feeling very guilty.

As a reconnaissance pioneer, he failed to find out the enemy's exact situation, which can be regarded as dereliction of duty no matter how you look at it.

"What? There were no more than 30 of us, and you killed four or five of us?
You bunch of rubbish!

Everything must die! "

Mano Shiro roared loudly.

I feel that this military expedition was not going very smoothly.

In addition, he thought of the several brigade commanders of his 2nd Brigade, all of whom died because of the Eighth Route Army, and he felt as if a dark cloud was hanging over his head.

It seemed as if he would be the next unlucky one!
Yasuaki Ogawa was very afraid of the anger of the brigade commander.

He immediately looked at the brigade chief of staff, Teruo Yamaguchi, with a look for help.

I don't know if Yamaguchi Teruo noticed his pitiful look, he slowly stepped forward and suggested:
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, didn't we bring a group of Locust Alliance troops with us?

It would be better to let them launch a tentative attack to lure the Eighth Route Army to expose their firepower points.

Our artillery will deploy on the spot and bombard the Tubalu's fortifications and firing points?"

"Yoshi! Yamaguchi-kun's method is great, hurry up and do it!"

Mano Shiro nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that he agreed, Yamaguchi Teruo immediately went down to make arrangements and prepared to launch the attack.

……

Opposite the Japanese, Li Dahe, commander of the 4th Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, was also observing their movements with a telescope.

While watching, he muttered to the instructor Chai Renfeng:
“It’s a pity that the leader won’t let us go all out.

Otherwise, I can at least beat these thousands of Japanese devils and keep them from advancing an inch for three days!"

Chai Renfeng was speechless upon hearing this and rolled his eyes at him:
"We have about a thousand people, and we are fighting against four or five thousand Japanese?
Lao Li, are you planning to wipe out our battalion again?"

When Li Dahe heard this, the arrogant expression on his face froze instantly.

I forced myself to laugh:

"Hahaha, I'm just thinking about it, don't take it seriously!"

……

On the Japanese side, Yamaguchi Teruo brought armed guards to the Locust Association Battalion Chief Sha Guangcai and ordered:

"Shasang, take your men and these unruly people and charge forward! Quickly!"

Sha Guangcai looked at the somewhat dilapidated Xinkou Pass City in the distance, and felt as if a ferocious tiger was lurking there, opening its bloody mouth, waiting for them to go in and die.

Suddenly I felt a little weak in the legs.

But he saw that Yamaguchi Teruo was holding a saber, and the guards behind him were holding guns, pointing them at him, as if ready to fire at any time.

Of course I didn’t dare refuse.

He nodded tremblingly:
"Hey! Hey! Master, I'll lead the men right away!"

Seeing that he was so honest, Yamaguchi Teruo was naturally very satisfied.

He loosened his hand holding the saber and nodded slightly:
"Yoshi! Shasang, as long as you make contributions, my locust army will not treat you unfairly!

Now, I'll give you 10 minutes to prepare.

If you haven't started charging in ten minutes, I will let you know how strict the military discipline of my Locust Army is!!!
You, understand?" "Hey! Hey! I understand!"

Sha Guangcai had a huge smile on his face, like a happy dog.

Then he turned around, walked to the front of his team, and shouted loudly to the soldiers under his command:
"Brothers, line up and prepare to charge!
Grandpa Taijun said that as long as we rush forward, there will be a reward! "

Upon hearing this, the three hundred or so Japanese soldiers under his command immediately became furious and began to complain:

"Boss Sha, aren't you asking us to die?
We can’t agree to that!”

"That's right, Battalion Commander, don't you know our combat effectiveness?

It's obvious that Master Ba is lying in ambush ahead!"

"Ouch, my legs hurt so much, I can't stand!"

……

Even the deputy battalion commander Hou Gui came close to Sha Guangcai and asked carefully:

"Captain, what's going on?

Let our people charge, the Japanese are too inhumane, aren't they? "

Sha Guangcai carefully glanced at Yamaguchi Teruo and others who had already turned around and left, and then answered in a low voice:

"Huh, what else could it be?

The damn Japanese just had a few of them killed by Master Ba, so they want us to go explore the situation ahead!"

"Fuck, the Japanese are really beasts!

We just want to make a living, but now we are asked to risk our lives? ? ! ! "

Hou Gui cursed indignantly.

"Okay, given the situation, we have no choice but to charge.

The Japs only gave us ten minutes!
Lao Hou, the Japanese asked us to escort these young and strong people to the front.

Tell the company and platoon leaders below to be smarter when they charge later.

If anything happens, get down immediately and be ready to run away at any time!"

Sha Guangcai said with a bitter face.

"Okay. I get it."

Hou Gui nodded, then quietly retreated into the team with a very grim look on his face.

Then Sha Guangcai pulled out a box gun from his waist, waved it and shouted to his soldiers:
"Shut the fuck up!
Grandpa Taijun tells us to charge, so we all charge honestly!

Whoever dares not charge, I will kill him now, so as not to implicate other brothers!

Do you understand everything? "

After hearing what he said, none of the Japanese dared to stand up and resist.

After all, if you have backbone, who would be a traitor?
All they could do was to respond loudly:

"Understood!"

Seeing that his men had behaved themselves, Sha Guangcai immediately commanded them, holding guns and escorting the 700 young and strong men from Gang County, rushing towards the Xinkou Pass with howls.

Of course everyone was dissatisfied when those young and strong men were forced to charge.

But along the way, many of the troublemakers among them were dealt with by the traitors behind them.

Some people were even dragged out and stabbed to death by the Japanese because they walked too slowly.

So at this moment, facing the shouts and bayonet threats of the Japanese devils, they could only be obedient and be swept forward.

……

As for the Japanese, Shiro Mano was naturally very satisfied when he saw them rushing forward obediently and in large numbers.

I couldn't help but say to Teruo Yamaguchi who just came back:
"Yamaguchi-kun, these Chinese are really like sheep.

If we had known earlier, we should have recruited a group of people to carry the artillery for us when we set out from Wucheng.

In this way, our artillery would not suffer such heavy losses from the fire of the Tubalu!"

Yamaguchi Teruo nodded repeatedly:

"Your Excellency, the commander of the brigade, what you said makes sense.

These Chinese are all cowards!

Even more obedient than a newborn lamb.

They really don't deserve to own such a rich land!"

Mano Shiro narrowed his eyes with a smile, nodded slightly, and then gave a loud order:

"Order the First Battalion, Mr. Tian Shangjun, and his men to follow behind these locust soldiers and seize the fortifications of the Eighth Route Army. Be careful not to advance rashly and beware of the Eighth Route Army's ambush!"

Following his order, Lieutenant Colonel Yusuke Tagami, commander of the 2st Battalion of the 800nd Independent Mixed Brigade, immediately rushed forward with his men.

……

At the position of the Fourth Battalion's artillery company, Company Commander Zheng Erxi was carefully observing the approaching enemy through a telescope while silently estimating the distance in his mind.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he felt that the enemy was within range. He immediately ordered his 12 Type infantry guns to open fire.

However, when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized something was wrong and gave the order instead:

"Everyone, in 5 minutes, open fire at maximum range, and after 5 rapid fire, retreat quickly!"

Hearing this, the deputy company commander Gan Haifeng beside him hurriedly asked:

"Old Zheng, haven't the Japanese already entered the firing range?

Why do you need another 5 minutes to open fire?
At the current charging speed of the Japanese, they will probably be about 5 meters in front of us in 1000 minutes!
By then, they will be able to mount heavy machine guns and pose a threat to us!"

Zheng Erxi's face was grim, and he answered in a deep voice:

"Lao Gan, those in the front look like traitors, and we don't see any heavy machine guns or grenade launchers, so there's no point in bombing them!
The ones behind should be the devils!"

"Ah - the second devil?

These bastards are all wearing Japanese military uniforms and helmets!"

Gan Haifeng was surprised.

Then he began to observe carefully through the telescope.

After a moment, he also started to curse:
"Those damn Japanese devils are really cunning!

They actually let these beasts who have forgotten their ancestors take the lead.

In my opinion, these bastards should be sent to meet their ancestors!"

Zheng Erxi shook his head:
“Isn’t that a waste?

There are so many traitors. After we finish dealing with the little Japs, maybe we can capture them all.

By then, we might be able to screen out hundreds of new recruits who can join our team!"

"Hahaha, that's true."

Gan Haifeng laughed.

Just as I was about to make another joke, I suddenly remembered that the commander of the artillery battalion in the regiment, Gao Yuanzhi, was a former traitor.

He immediately forced himself to shut his mouth.

……

On the Japanese side, Sha Guangcai hid in the crowd, shouting at his soldiers to charge while carefully observing the situation ahead.

Be prepared to run away at any time.

Hou Gui was beside him. Although he found that the charge was going smoothly, he still felt that the atmosphere seemed to be very wrong, and he quickly reminded:
"Captain, I don't feel well. Didn't you say that there is an ambush ahead?

Why haven't they opened fire yet?"

Sha Guangcai nodded:

“I also feel that something is wrong.

Lao Hou, if anything happens later, let's hide to the east.

There is a mountain over there. If we hide in the mountain, neither the Eighth Master nor the Lady Queen can do anything to us.

Wait until they are done fighting, then we will come out and we will join whoever wins!"

……

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of intensive artillery fire coming from the front.

Then came the "whoosh" sound of flying shells.

It's like the roar of death!
This time, their faces all turned pale!
He immediately stopped, squatted on the spot, held his head and shouted:

"Brothers, shelling! Get down quickly!!!"
