I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 75 Arrive at the battlefield
On the spy company side, led by Wei Dayong, more than 300 soldiers ran wildly on the mountain road.

Soon, they heard fierce gunfire from ahead.

It sounds like the sound of [-] big caps, Hanyang-made, old sleeves, and even local guns.

Yang Yuanshan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the local army was still holding on.

This is extremely beneficial to the special agent company.

At least, they can rely on the position they established to fight against the little devils.

Yang Yuanshan didn't need to think about it to know that since this local force was able to block the attack here, it must have chosen an extremely favorable terrain, which would naturally be of great benefit to the defending side.

Speeding up the pace, the soldiers of the special agent company quickly ran to the front of the position. Yang Yuanshan stopped the team and sent a soldier with a loud voice to carry the flag of the Eighth Route Army - the red background, blue sky and white sun flag to report to avoid accidental injury.

At this time, he had discovered that there were actually 600 local troops in the position, but they did not even have gray military uniforms. Many of them were wearing their own tattered clothes, and they looked like local militiamen.

The firearms are basically made in Hanyang and have old sleeves. Occasionally there are a few [-]-inch caps, but they are all polished to a discernible finish.

And there didn't seem to be enough bullets. Many people had to aim for a long time before firing a shot.

There were many people who didn't even have guns at all. They were holding red-tasseled guns in their hands, as if they were ready to rush forward and fight hand-to-hand at any time.

"Comrade, which section are you in?

We are the special agent company of the 129th Brigade Independent Regiment of the 386th Division, and we have been ordered to come to stop the enemy! "

The soldiers who went up to make contact shouted from a distance.

After hearing his words, the blocking position suddenly burst into joy:
"Ah! The main force is here?
Great, the day has come for that naughty little devil! "

"Comrades, our reinforcements are coming!"

"Comrades, come on, don't let the people in the main force look down on our local troops!"

……

Seeing that the other party confirmed his identity, Yang Yuanshan immediately waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to enter the position, find a suitable position and start shooting with the little devils, and connect with the local troops.

Subsequently, the soldier in charge of liaison brought a young man of 27 or [-] years old to Yang Yuanshan.

"Captain Zhu, this is our company commander."

"Hello, comrade, I am Zhu Jiafu, captain of the Xiangcheng County Brigade.

Following orders from superiors, we led our county brigade, Baima Township squad, and militiamen from nearby villages, a total of 200 people, to stop the Japs here. We have been holding on for two hours now. "

two hours?

It seems that the little devil must have camped somewhere in front last night and did not march overnight. He seems a bit cautious and difficult to deal with!
Yang Yuanshan thought to himself while greeting the other party:
"Congratulations, captain, for your hard work. I am Yang Yuanshan, commander of the special agent company of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment."

"It's not hard, the little devils broke into our home, burned, killed and tortured us. We are all eight-foot men, so of course we will fight them to the end!"

Zhu Jiafu was very angry.

Yang Yuanshan asked quickly:

"Captain Zhu, you said you have 200 people?

But now I see there are only five or six hundred people here, right?Could it be that just two hours..."

"Everyone else died. We don't have enough guns and ammunition, and we don't have cannons..."

Zhu Jiafu's face showed a bit of sadness.

They are all his fellow villagers and brothers!

When Yang Yuanshan heard this, his heart suddenly froze.

After a while, he woke up and asked quickly:

"Captain Zhu, didn't the superiors say that the entire 36th Division went northward?
But I see there is only one brigade here now, what about the others? "

"Captain Yang, you don't know that the mountain road here is very narrow, and the Japs' troops cannot be deployed at all. Although a division came out from Changzhi, the only one taking this road now is the 224th Regiment on the opposite side. .

It is said that other regiments dispersed and took other roads. "

Zhu Jiafu explained.

"I see. You said the other side is the 224th Wing?

Isn't that right?

It looks like the enemy group below is just a large group, right? "

Yang Yuanshan asked suspiciously.

"The one below is the 224st Battalion of the 1th Wing, opening the way in front.

The main force of the 224th Regiment is still [-] kilometers behind.

We had previously dug up a stone bridge twenty kilometers away, so the little devils had to divide their forces and let the 1st Battalion wade across the river and clear the way first. "

Zhu Jiafu felt a little proud when he talked about digging the broken bridge.

If this were not the case, and a group of little devils pounced on them, they and the ragtag group of more than 1000 people might not be able to hold on for an hour!
"So that's it. Captain Zhu, let your people withdraw for repairs. We will take over the position now.

We have temporarily arranged logistics troops in Qianjiazhuang, thirty miles behind. You can go there to rest and wait for subsequent orders. "

Yang Yuanshan didn't want to see this iron-clad local army continue to bleed and sacrifice, so he immediately made arrangements.

"Captain Yang, this position is so wide. I see that you are not many in number, so it may be difficult to stop the enemy. Why don't you give us some equipment and let us assist you?"
Or even let our people serve as your ammunition carriers? "

Zhu Jiafu said quickly.

Yang Yuanshan thought about it, he had so many cannons, but he really didn't have enough manpower now. Although these local troops lacked formal training and lacked combat effectiveness, they were still much better than Qianjiazhuang Qingzhuang launched by Xu Shaobai in terms of transporting artillery shells.

He nodded immediately and said:
"Okay, you can send all the lightly and seriously wounded to Qianjiazhuang for rest, and just leave 200 people to help us carry the shells.

We have a lot of guns, but we really don’t have enough ammunition. "

If a Type 41 infantry gun or a Type 75 [-]mm mountain cannon is to be used successfully, at least a squad of soldiers must serve the thing.

The 90mm light mortar is better, but it also requires at least 7 people.

Yang Yuanshan now has three Type 41 infantry guns, two Type 75 90mm mountain guns, two 60mm light mortars, and one [-]mm mortar. This will take up two or three of his entire rows. The troops are indeed a bit wasted.

After all, he still has so many light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers that need to be operated.

The special agent company that previously had a full complement of 400 people had lost more than 20 people after the battle at Lijiapo, and now more than 30 people were left in the logistics line at Qianjiazhuang. Now there are actually less than 350 people left.

Hearing that Yang Yuanshan wanted them to stay and help, Zhu Jiafu was very happy and quickly agreed:

"Okay! I'll make arrangements now."

Although he only served as an ammunition carrier for the special agent company, he was certainly excited to have the opportunity to see how this special agent company, whose equipment was so extraordinary, fought.

……

After arranging the people from the county brigade, Yang Yuanshan called the reconnaissance platoon leader Li Dahe:

"Dahe, most of the Japs' 224th Regiment is twenty kilometers away. Now we have to beat up the Japs in front of us. If reinforcements from the Japs arrive midway, we will be in a dilemma."

"Company Commander, what do you need from our reconnaissance platoon?"

Li Dahe knew as soon as he heard that Yang Yuanshan had a task to give him.

"I want three or four people from your reconnaissance platoon to go to the front and monitor the kid. Once the kid is about twenty miles away from here, report him quickly. Do you understand?"

"Understood! I'll make arrangements now!"

　Begging for a monthly pass!
