I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 1011: This number one group in the world is simply incredible!
Qipan Mountain.

Yang Yuanshan entrusted the task of transporting equipment to the four regiments of the 358th Brigade.

Then he talked seriously about the next battle:

"Commanders, our next combat mission in Northwest Shanxi is to deal with the First and Eighth Divisions that the Japanese transferred from Central Hebei."

"Deal with... two divisions?
Captain Yang, you are not kidding, right? "

Ling Zhenwu and the others were again filled with disbelief.

They all felt that coming to northwestern Shanxi had really broadened their horizons.

Whatever is impossible, something that we dare not think about or do, people are thinking about and doing!
They couldn't close their mouths at all.

"Of course I'm not kidding.

Now we have five main regiments in northwest Shanxi, totaling 5 to regular troops.

There are also local militias and guerrillas, which can gather 30,000 to 40,000 people.

It is not a wishful thinking to wipe out two divisions of the Japanese devils."

Yang Yuanshan answered confidently.

There was something he didn't say in his mind, which was that with the support of the system, his special forces regiment could be equipped with more and more equipment and have almost unlimited ammunition. The strength they could exert was definitely not much lower than that of a fully-strength division of 20,000 to 30,000 people!

"My goodness, 30,000 to 40,000 regular troops, 30,000 to 40,000 militia and guerrillas, you in Northwest Shanxi are really ridiculously strong!"

Ling Zhenwu and the other three were stunned and sighed repeatedly.

Although their 358th Brigade now has more than a dozen regiments, the total number of people seems to be about the same as that of the Northwest Shanxi Base.

"Hey, that's nothing."

Yang Yuanshan chuckled.

I thought to myself: Give me another year and let me expand to 30,000 or 40,000 people. Then I will let you see what it means to be incredibly strong!
The new 4th Regiment leader, Gu Mingyong, has a somewhat impatient temper.

I quickly asked him:

"Captain Yang, our superiors asked us to come and support you. What are your arrangements for our four regiments?"

As soon as he said this, Ling Zhenwu and others stared at Yang Yuanshan with sharp eyes.

Of course, they would not be satisfied with just making such a trip. They just helped the special forces regiment as a transport team and transported some equipment!

If they don’t fight a big battle, it would be a waste of all the new equipment they have acquired!
Seeing their anxious faces, Yang Yuanshan didn't want to bother them.

He immediately squatted down, picked up a branch, drew a simple map of northwest Shanxi on the ground, pointed to the key points on the map and answered:
"According to the intelligence currently known, the situation on the entire battlefield is: the Japanese 1st and 8th Divisions are rapidly advancing westward along the Zhengtai Road from Shimen.

On the northern section of Tongpu Road, the Japanese 26th Division was also moving south from Wucheng.

It is estimated that after they arrive in Qubei County, they will attack eastward.

As for the southern section of Tongpu Road, we have not received any news yet.

But if necessary, the two old Japanese soldiers, Kazuo Iwamatsu and Ji Ning Okamura, will definitely mobilize their troops to the north. After gathering in Jinyang City, they will move out together with the Japanese soldiers in Jinyang City and advance eastward along the Zhengtai Road.

In this case, what we in Northwest Shanxi may face is a joint attack by four or five divisions!"

After hearing this analysis of the situation, Ling Zhenwu and others suddenly looked solemn.

They are all veterans who have fought in many battles. They certainly know what a powerful force four or five divisions are!
Back then, when the Japanese invaders launched a full-scale attack on Shanxi, they only mobilized five divisions!

Qi Weibang, the new head of the 6th Regiment, couldn't help but ask worriedly:

"Captain Yang, does your leader really have to confront such a powerful enemy head-on?

Why not retreat into the mountains and fight guerrilla warfare?

With the powerful strength of Northwest Shanxi, once the Japanese invaders disperse into the mountains, you can definitely deal with them severely, right?"

"Because now is the time when the Japanese troops are at their weakest.

As long as we launch an attack on the Japanese, the initiative of the war will be in our hands.

We fight when we want to, retreat when we want to, and fight however we want!
Once we retreat into the mountains, we will hand over the initiative on the battlefield to the Japanese.

They can choose to disperse into the mountains to sweep our base, or they can hold the traffic line and wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements. If ten or eight divisions rush to northwest Shanxi, we will be in a very passive position! "

Yang Yuanshan explained.

He knew very well that although the Japanese were short of manpower now, once they got angry and ordered the dozens of divisions of the Liaodong Army to march into the pass, not to mention that the tens of thousands of troops in northwestern Shanxi would be useless, even if there were 100,000 regular troops and 100,000 militiamen, it would be impossible to stop the enemy!
Therefore, we must take advantage of the fact that the Japanese headquarters does not really pay attention to our army and devour them in big mouthfuls to weaken their strength!
Otherwise, once an extreme situation occurs, it will lead to a total collapse!
After listening to his explanation, Qi Weibang and others could not help but nod their heads repeatedly.

Then he asked solemnly:

"Then Captain Yang, how exactly are you going to fight?
If it is a head-on confrontation, we need to ask our superiors for instructions.

Otherwise, if we wipe out all the troops without authorization, we won’t be able to explain to our superiors.”

“Haha, rest assured, captains. Although the situation is dire, we are confident that it will not develop in the worst direction.

We will certainly not let you fight the Japs head-on."

Seeing that their expressions were very serious, Yang Yuanshan quickly gave them psychological support.

"Captain Yang, our four regiments have a total of more than 11000 people.

What mission do you plan to assign us?"

Gu Mingyong stood up, looking ready to die.

Yang Yuanshan glanced around and saw that all the guards were more than ten meters away.

Then he spoke:
“Our plan now is this:

The troops in our northwest Shanxi base will give priority to annihilating the Japanese 1st and 8th Divisions along the Zhengtai Road.

The three regiments of the Yanbei base and the two detachments of the Suinan base established three lines of defense in Daizhou, Gangxian and Xinkou areas to block the Japanese 3th Division.

The three regiments of the Wutai Division and the six regiments of your 3th Brigade are here near Qubei County to ensure the safety of the western section of Zhengtai Road.

On the one hand, the purpose was to keep an eye on the Japanese soldiers in the southern section of the Tongpu Road and in Jinyang City, preventing them from leaving the city and heading north or east.

On the other hand, it also provides a guarantee for our comrades in Yanbei.

Once the 26th Division breaks through their three lines of defense, you must push forward.

In a nutshell: Not a single soldier can be allowed to cause trouble in the rear of our troops in northwestern Shanxi!
Give us enough time to annihilate two enemy divisions!"

"My goodness, this is a war involving hundreds of thousands of people!"

Gu Mingyong couldn't help but take a breath.

I was shocked by the generosity of the Northwest Shanxi Division.

I feel that this battle seems to be more exciting than the previous big raid!

After all, the purpose of the raid was to destroy the Japanese's transportation, artillery towers, strongholds, etc.

It's not like now, where we have to fight against several divisions of the Japanese devils head-on!

Qi Weibang quickly asked a key question:
"Captain Yang, have you reported your plan to the leaders at the headquarters?

You guys are not acting on your own initiative, are you?"

Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but rolled his eyes and quickly replied:

“Captain Qi, no matter how courageous our leader is, he can’t possibly cause such a big thing on his own!

Don't you die?

Although I haven't seen the command telegram from the headquarters leaders, I think they must have agreed. " "Okay. "

Qi Weibang nodded awkwardly.

Ling Zhenwu asked curiously:
"Aren't there only four regiments from our 358th Brigade? How can there be six regiments?"

"Your New 7th and New 8th Regiments have arrived a long time ago, and are now escorting my First Artillery Battalion, shelling the Japanese outside Jinyang City."

Yang Yuanshan explained quickly.

“It turned out to be these two guys, Lao Ji and Lao Lu.

Yes, their defense zone is nearby.

It would be strange if it didn’t come out.”

Ling Zhenwu nodded repeatedly.

At this time, Qi Weibang asked another key question:

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

"Captain Yang, how long do you need us to hold out here?"

"I hope that you can hold on until our special forces group can turn around.

But if you really can't hold on, you must make sure to hold on for at least 15 days!
Even if you are completely wiped out for one day less, I will go to the leaders at the headquarters and report you for your ineffective fighting!

When the time comes, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Yang Yuanshan's expression also turned serious.

When large forces are fighting, military discipline must be strict!

If any unit acts recklessly, it may lead to the collapse of the entire system and cause heavy losses!
Historically, this is how the failure of the Xifu Campaign ended.

Hearing what he said, Qi Weibang and others felt tremendous pressure.

After all, the enemy may not just be the 26th Division that breaks through three lines of defense.

And there may be more divisions emerging from the direction of Jinyang City!

If they really encounter this situation, even though they have a total of 9 regiments, they may not be able to complete the task of holding out for 15 days.

Pan Rui, the new 5th Regiment leader, pondered and asked:
"Captain Yang, how many soldiers are there in the five regiments that you mentioned that are now under the city of Jinyang?
How is the equipment?"

"These five regiments have about 5 people, not to mention their equipment, which I have already supplied to them.

Infantry guns, mortars, light and heavy machine guns, everything!"

“So, our nine regiments together can have about 9 people, well-equipped and with sufficient ammunition.

Comparable to a Class A division!
This battle is not completely impossible to fight!"

Pan Rui nodded and felt more confident.

……

Next, Yang Yuanshan discussed the specific details of the battle with them and told them that if there were any wounded in the battle, they could be sent to Qixia Town and then transferred to the field hospital in northwest Shanxi for treatment.

Naturally, Ling Zhenwu and the others were amazed.

A small base in northwestern Shanxi actually built a field hospital, which is even more powerful than their 358th Brigade!
Finally, Yang Yuanshan thought that they must also need some emergency medicines, so he immediately took out a batch of medicines and medical equipment and mixed them in with the pile of weapons in the valley.

After everything was discussed, Yang Yuanshan said goodbye to them and hurried away with his men.

……

On the way, Han Yang couldn't help but ask Yang Yuanshan with some lack of confidence:
"Captain, do you think these nine regiments can guard our retreat?"

Yang Yuanshan said as he walked:
"That depends on how many troops the Japs mobilize.

If it is just the 26th Division, I believe they can definitely hold on.

Or if another division comes out of Jinyang City, they can block the enemy's advance step by step and use the fortifications left by the 1st Battalion of Xigang Mountain to fight guerrilla warfare, which should be able to significantly delay the Japanese's marching speed.

But if the Japanese transferred a few more divisions from southern Shanxi to the north, it would be hard to say.

Although we supported them with their 81mm mortars and Type infantry guns, they were not enough for the Japanese mountain artillery and field artillery regiments!"

"Captain, if this happens, what should we do?
Did Qixia Town arrange the transfer in advance?"

Han Yang frowned.

As the chief of staff of the special forces regiment, thinking about these things is his basic duty.

“You can deploy in advance, but you don’t need to panic.

I believe that the brigade and the headquarters will not allow the Japanese in southern Shanxi to go north at will.

Even if they really go north, they will definitely give us news, so you don't have to worry too much."

Yang Yuanshan answered after thinking for a while.

He didn't know that the two old Japanese devils, Kazuo Iwamatsu and Prince Sakuhiko Asaka, had already ordered the 37th, 41st and 62nd Divisions to move north immediately.

……

At the valley of Qipan Mountain, Ling Zhenwu and three others accepted the task from Yang Yuanshan and felt tremendous pressure.

However, when they watched Yang Yuanshan and his men leave and turned back to see the piles of equipment, they all became excited again.

After the four of them discussed it, they decided to send a battalion each, with mules and horses from each regiment, to help Yang Yuanshan transport the equipment of the more than 3000 people to Xinkou.

The others were transferred over to count and divide the equipment in the valley.

After everything is done, send people to Qubei County to contact the new 7th Regiment, the new 8th Regiment and the three regiments of the Wutai Division to form a joint command center, unify deployment, and prepare to deal with the Japanese attack.

——Yang Yuanshan has just expressed his attitude to them: he has no control over how you command your nine regiments or how you fight.

As long as we can stop the Japs, that's fine!

The plan was decided, and Ling Zhenwu and the other three took action immediately.

Soon, most of the soldiers from the four regiments were called into this valley.

Then, everyone was shocked.

When have they ever seen so much equipment?
Upon hearing that these things were all theirs, everyone immediately went wild. They pounced on the equipment with great joy and began to play with them lovingly.

In an instant, the entire valley was in chaos.

There were even quarrels over the looting of light and heavy machine guns, artillery and other items.

Ling Zhenwu and several other regiment commanders, political commissars and others quickly arranged for the cadres of each regiment, organized the soldiers, and began to move and count the equipment.

While the soldiers were busy, someone discovered the large amount of medicines, medical equipment and other supplies that Yang Yuanshan had just placed, and they were naturally surprised again.

Lack of medical care and medicine has always been the norm in all units of our army.

After every war, military commanders at all levels would be extremely worried about getting some medicine.

Therefore, for them, medicine is more important than weapons and equipment.

After all, some weapons and equipment can still be obtained from the Japanese.

But it is really difficult to seize medicines!
So at this moment, when Ling Zhenwu and others saw so many good things that could solve their urgent needs, they instantly had a deeper understanding of the generosity of the Special Forces Group.

Everyone thought: This is the best group in the world, it’s incredible!
