"Colonel, our shells are only half a base. If we don't get any supplies, our field artillery brigade will not be able to provide artillery support to the infantry!" A lieutenant of the field artillery brigade came to Yokoyama to report anxiously.

"Nani, why are you reporting now?" Yokoyama Yuki stepped forward and grabbed the lieutenant's collar, his eyes turned red, and he looked like he was choosing someone to eat!

"Colonel, just now, you asked for too much artillery fire just now, we didn't expect the consumption to be so fast..."

"Bastard, why not report earlier?"

"Colonel, we have reported it long ago, but the superior said that the shell inventory is in urgent need of the fire, and there are no more shells for us..."

"Bastard, why is this happening? How come this happening? When will the Japanese Empire not even supply shells?" Yokoyama Yuki was almost furious. Without artillery fire suppression, everyone was on the same starting line. How could he fight this battle?

"Chief of Staff, listen..."

"What?" Li Yuan stood up in surprise and walked over.

"The sound of cannons!" Wang Rong closed his eyes and pointed at the orange-red ballistic paths that passed through the sky.

"What's so good about the sound of cannons? It almost made my ears deaf." Li Yuan said disapprovingly.

"The Japanese artillery fire is not as dense as before, don't you hear it?" Wang Rong asked.

"Oh?" Li Yuanyi looked up and carefully sounded. After a while, "It's true, just now, before the Japanese charged, the shell was fired much faster than it is now!"

"What can this mean?" Wang Rong's eyes lit up and he asked back.

"The Japanese are powerless?" Li Yuan said.

"It's not that there is no power in succession, but that there is a problem with their supplies. They have no shells!" Wang Rong said.

"The Japanese lack artillery shells!" Li Yuan was shocked. "Teacher Commander, are you ready to use the artillery battalion that has been hiding for five days?"

"Yes, the Japanese thought we didn't have artillery guns, and the most heavy weapons were mortars and grenade launchers. They never expected that we would hide an artillery battalion, eight 92 infantry guns, four mountain guns, this is enough for the Japanese to drink a pot!" Wang Rong showed a cold smile. The murderous intent popped up in the teeth made people feel chilled.

"I informed the artillery battalion that it's time for them to appear. I've been holding it in for so long, so don't hold it out!" Wang Rong ordered!

"yes!"

"Captain Shi, Commander Wang ordered your artillery camp to take your position quickly and prepare for battle!" The commander ran over in one breath and conveyed Wang Rong's order.

"Secretary Wang finally remembered our artillery battalion. It's time for us to move our muscles!" Captain Shi roared. The artillery battalion quickly began to move!

The artillery position has been prepared long ago, just waiting for the artillery to arrive!

The artillery was disguised and was pushed up from the ground through a long tunnel. For this battle, the more than 300 officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion had not rested in these five days and had to avoid the reconnaissance of the Japanese planes in the sky. Although they did not really go to the battlefield to fight, there was no need for the soldiers who were bloody at the forefront to easily kill the enemy!

And now, it’s finally time for them to reap honors!

"One gunner is in place!"

"The second gunner is in place!"

...

"Calculate all elements!"

"preparation!"

"put!"

Dodol...

The angry shells, carrying the scorching hatred of the soldiers, crossed the sky above their positions and fell fiercely towards the Japanese's dense charge line!

Boom...

A violent explosion came, and the charge Japanese troops were stunned by the sudden artillery shells. Some of them even thought that their artillery had made a mistake and looked towards their artillery positions!

"Baga, the Chinese artillery!" Yokoyama Yong, who was commanding nearby, almost vomited out without a mouthful of old blood!

How could the Chinese have artillery soldiers? They were all fighting in front of them, why didn’t they get the artillery soldiers out?

Why is this, why? Yokoyama Yuki roared irresistibly. Unfortunately, no one answered his question!

"The division commander orders the artillery fire to extend, hit a base, withdraw the bunker!"

"yes!"

"Each gun position extends forward, a cardinal number, rapid fire!"

The artillery quickly manipulated the artillery, adjusted the direction and angle, and soon all came into place.

"Prepare, let it go!"

With the commander's order, the twelve artillery roared at the Japanese army again, and the shells fell to the enemy's position with a "whizz"!

After firing a technique, the artillery quickly pushed the artillery into the tunnel behind.

The artillery battalion's artillery is light artillery, and it is still incomparable to the heavy artillery of the Japanese. It is basically impossible to destroy the heavy artillery of the Japanese, so after the shooting, it must be transferred immediately or hidden in an underground bunker!

The Japanese retaliatory shelling came soon!

Sure enough, shortly after the artillery battalion was withdrawn from its position, the Japanese retaliatory artillery bombarded. On the original artillery battalion, the Japanese shells were like dumplings. The Japanese heavy artillery was powerful and had a long range, and almost plowed the artillery battalion's position!

Even the tunnels of their underground bunker were blocked by the mud caused by the explosion of shells. Fortunately, the tunnels and underground bunkers had another exit, so the soldiers in the tunnels would not be buried alive or suffocated to death.

"The Japanese are really anxious. At that moment just now, the Japanese army suffered at least 300 casualties!" Wang Rong laughed.

"Well, we have blocked this wave of attacks. Next, the Japanese may attack. I think Hengshan Yong seems to be a little crazy today!" Zhang Yi roared.

"Well, in less than half a day, the casualties of the Japanese caught up with yesterday's day. They were trying their best!" Wang Rong said.

"Our army just took down Tongliao, how can the Japanese not be anxious?" Wang Rong said, "If we defend Zhengjiatun again, they will have no advantage in the future."

"Yongshan, the casualties are too great. I don't think it's time to continue attacking now!" Yukihiro Hirata, the captain of the 29th Regiment, said to Yokoyama with dissatisfaction. This is to joke about the lives of the soldiers of the 3rd Brigade.

After winning, you, Hengshan Yong, won the award. How many benefits can the 3rd Brigade have? So many veterans died in the battlefield. When will they be able to replenish them?

"Yes, Yokoyama, I also think it is not appropriate to attack again. The Chinese army suddenly has artillery, which means they are still strong afterwards, but we are facing the difficulties of serious lack of ammunition. We must leave enough ammunition for the last attack!" The company leader of the 4th Regiment, Ritaro Oshima, also persuaded.

Although the front-line commander is Yokoyama, he and Yukihiro Hirata are both ranks of colonels. They are also direct commanders of the troops.

Yokoyama knew that the failure of this attack made the two convoys find reasons to oppose him!

"Two, the Chinese army only released their artillery at this time. What does this mean? They have reached the end of the strong oar. If we take a step forward, we can defeat the Chinese people's front and win the battle!" Yokoyama said.

"Hongyama-kun, we are here to fight the Chinese army for five days. Their resilience and combat effectiveness are not inferior to our Imperial Japanese Army, so don't forget. Since they have artillery, they can fire special ammunition. The Kanto Army has stored a batch of special ammunition in Zhengjiatun. If the Chinese people make a desperate bet, we will suffer the loss!" Hirata Yukihirodo.

"What, special bombs, how can Chinese people have special bombs?" Yokoyama Yuki was shocked.

"That was originally used to support the Rehe battlefield, but the Northeast Army was vulnerable and had no chance to use it at all. It was stored in a warehouse in Zhengjiatun. However, we did not expect that the Chinese people actually attacked and occupied Zhengjiatun, so this batch of ammunition was likely to fall into the hands of the Chinese people!" Hirada Yukihiro explained.

"Bastard, what does the intelligence department do for? Why don't you know until now?" Yokoyama cursed bravely.

"The intelligence department is not sure whether this batch of ammunition is in the hands of the Chinese people. In addition, the Chinese people may not know that ammunition, so they cannot be sure either!"

"I don't know, Hirata Jun, don't you think this inference is ridiculous?" Yokoyama said angrily.

"Yokyama-kun, I think it's better to wait for General Matsuda to arrive and our two armies attack each other, which is more certain!" Hirada Yukihirodo, "Also, I'll give the attacking soldiers gas masks!"

"Okay, let's follow your opinions!" Yokoyama Yuki took a deep breath and agreed to their plan.

It's almost noon!

"It seems that the Japanese are planning to take a break!"

"The Japanese are also human beings, they are not iron-clad, so they have to eat and rest!" Zhang Yi roared and laughed.

"We also have to seize the time to renovate the position, eat and rest. Looking at this situation today, I'm afraid we have to compete!" Wang Rong said.

“What to eat for lunch?”

"Butterbread, pork stewed vermicelli!"

"How many days can we eat with that little property?" Wang Rong asked.

"Don't worry, the food problem is not a big problem, it will be delivered continuously in the future!" Li Yuan walked in with a smile!

"That's good, Chief of Staff, is there any news?"

"Someone was sabotaging the railway. Fortunately, it was discovered early and was remediated in time, otherwise there would be a big problem!" Li Yuan said.

"Are they Japanese puppet elements?"

"I don't know yet. The Security Department is speeding up to solve the case. Now it's so chaotic. I'll say whether the case can be solved. I'll send someone to patrol along the railway line continuously. If you find it, report it immediately!" Li Yuan said.

"We have been controlling Zhengjiatun for too short. To arrest these Japanese and puppet destruction elements, we have to rely on the people to post reward notices to let the people provide clues to solve the case!" Wang Rong said.

"This method can be tried. I'll ask the security department to come up with a solution to standardize the details of rewards and punishments!" Li Yuan nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about the next battle. I think the battle of Zhengjiatun is not far from the end. At most, we will see the final tomorrow. The Japanese army is now in chaos. Although we did not find out in advance, we already know that our reinforcements will arrive soon. As long as we have survived the arrival of the reinforcements, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to shake us." Wang Rong analyzed, "Two endings, first, we defeated the Japanese army head-on and achieved a major victory. This is completely possible. As long as we block the Japanese army's front-end attack, once the reinforcements arrive, they can turn to counterattack and defeat the Japanese army. Even a large annihilation battle is not a problem. Second, we are evenly matched with the Japanese army. When the Japanese army retreats, we still occupy Zhengjiatun. Although the results are a little smaller, our strategic goal is still achieved. It can also be said to be a victory, which is a little higher!"

"Our Master Wang is a little greedy!" At this time, the guards brought lunch, two big white steamed buns per person and a bowl of fat pork stewed with vermicelli, steaming hot and fragrant!

"I am a little greedy and want to keep all the Japanese. But this is a bit unrealistic. Reinforcements arrived in time, and we were only one to one in terms of force. If we want to encircle and annihilate, we had to at least three to one, or two to one!" Wang Rong said.

"Teacher, just be content. It's already great to be able to fight this battle!" Li Yuan said with a smile.

"Reported that Japanese troops were found near the Sangshutun area, with a population of about 3,000!"

"Sangshutun, here, it's less than thirty miles away!" Wang Rong and the other two were shocked, spread out the map, and drew a circle on it with a red pencil.

"Where is the blocking force?"

"Battle Commander Guo personally led the team in the area of ​​Zhang Lama's shed and Yimashu!"
