I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 882 It was you who kept shouting "Fire!", but now you deny it!

Now it is the artillery battalion of the special forces regiment that has started bombing the Japs again.

They had originally run out of ammunition and lost 21 artillery pieces, but after Gao Yuanzhi received the order from Yang Yuanshan brought by the messenger, he immediately sent people to check the rear of their position.

Then they found a large number of artillery shells, more than they brought from Qixia Town!
In addition to the artillery shells, there are also 7 mountain cannons and many spare gun barrels.

The soldiers of the artillery battalion were immediately excited.

They haven't fought enough yet.

So Gao Yuanzhi immediately discussed with Wang Gensheng and asked him to take the soldiers to replace the gun barrels and sort out the shells.

He took a few elite gunners with him to check the terrain nearby and look for a suitable location to establish an artillery position.

The two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other, quickly making preparations for the bombardment again, and then started the bombardment again without Yang Yuanshan's order.

Anyway, there was no need to be stingy with the artillery shells. One cannon after another was aimed at the large Japanese army and bombarded it indiscriminately.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

The rumbling sound of artillery really made the Japanese soldiers of the 33rd Division a little overwhelmed.

Today, they were all numb from the bombing of the road which was only a few dozen miles from Jinyang City to Qubei County.

Without the officer's reminder, they lay still on the ground, no longer wanting to move forward.

However, officers at the division level, such as Nishimori Shigenobu and Murata Takasei, were roaring madly in their hearts: Can't the Eighth Route Army's artillery be blown up or destroyed?

Why did more than twenty mountain cannons appear? ? ?

……

Over at the Japanese artillery regiment, Kazuo Mitsui was also doubting his life.

I couldn't help but ask the wing chief of staff Masao Fukuzuka next to me:

"Fukuzuka-kun, we originally carried three bases of ammunition, but now we have less than one base left.

But why did the Eighth Route Army's artillery seem to have plenty of artillery shells that they could waste at will?
Could it be that the logistical supply capabilities of the Eighth Route Army are stronger than those of our Locust Army?
Regardless of whether they have an arsenal capable of producing artillery shells, just transporting these artillery shells is not an easy task, right?

The mountainous roads in northwest Shanxi are rugged. The Tubalu have so many mule and horse carts. Can they be used to transport artillery shells?"

Of course, Fukuzuka Masao had no way to answer this question.

He rolled his eyes calmly, then reminded:
"Your Excellency, Commander, let's immediately order our warriors to deploy on the spot and fire back at the artillery of the Eighth Route Army!
Otherwise, the losses of our locust army will be very heavy!"

"idiot!
We only have less than one base of ammunition left. Are we going to use it up before we even reach Qubei County?"

Kazuo Mitsui refused.

Fukuzuka Masao did not argue with him. He lowered his head, hiding the mockery in his eyes, and said honestly:
"Hey! Your Excellency the Captain is right."

Seeing him being so cowardly, Kazuo Mitsui suddenly felt like he had punched cotton with all his strength and he almost vomited blood.

With a turn of his eyes, he gave the order:
"Hurry up, order the warriors to deploy on the spot!

But do not open fire rashly. Order every three guns to aim at one of the Eighth Route Army's guns to provide covering fire.

Try to destroy them with as few shells as possible!"

"Hi!"

Masao Fukuzuka was speechless at this guy's inconsistency.

But he could only nod in agreement.

Then he shouted loudly and went to make arrangements.

And Kazuo Mitsui himself quickly ran to find Takasei Murata.

……

Murata Takasei was already devastated by the bombardment of the Special Service Regiment's artillery, and was about to send someone to notify the artillery to counterattack, but when he saw Mitsui Kazuo coming by himself, he immediately shouted angrily:

"Mr. Guangjing, why are you running here instead of commanding the warriors to blow up the Tubalu's artillery immediately?
Are you afraid of the enemy and afraid of fighting?

When Kazuo Mitsui heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Isn't this an insult to myself?

As a soldier and a warrior, how could I be afraid of the enemy and cowardly?

Unfortunately, the other party was a distinguished major general division commander. Although he was only an acting commander, he was not someone a colonel could easily defeat. So he could only forcibly restrain his inner impulse and forcefully defend himself:

"Your Excellency, the division commander, my men are already deploying artillery fire and will be able to counterattack soon!

However, the three basic ammunition carried by the warriors have been almost used up in today's fierce fighting.

I hope that the division commander can send someone to deliver artillery shells immediately, otherwise, our artillery will become a decoration!"

The enemy was bombarding us heavily, but our artillery said they had no shells.

Is this fucking okay?

What to play???
Murata Takasei felt a little pain in his liver.

Where can he get the shells from the warehouse?
The 75mm mountain artillery shells and 105mm howitzer shells were originally meant to be pulled by the artillery regiment's own pack horses and were not placed on the baggage carts at the back!

He couldn't help but roared:
"Baga! Are you wasting the Locust Army's artillery shells?

Three bases of artillery shells were used up in less than a day?"

Kazuo Mitsui was also angry and immediately responded:
"Your Excellency, the division commander, it was you who kept sending orders to us today, to fire! Fire!
Why don’t you admit it now?”

"Baga! I ordered you to fire, but what about your results???

Having consumed so many shells, why were the Eighth Route Army's artillery still firing?

Did you fire the shells into the sky on purpose?

waste!!!"

Murata Takaaki's roar scared the Japanese soldiers around him so much that they involuntarily moved three meters to the side.

Fearing that the other party would go crazy, he drew out his command knife and started hacking wildly.

When he heard the other party asking about the results of the battle, Kazuo Mitsui was speechless.

He also didn't know how many enemy artillery pieces he had blown up today!
Judging from the current situation, it seems... that not many doors were blown up.

I can only bite the bullet and say:
"Your Excellency, the Division Commander, there's something strange going on with the Tubalu!
Their artillery seemed to have an endless supply, and the shells were inexhaustible, which was simply incredible.

Just like their tanks, they can constantly refill their fuel and ammunition to harass our troops!"

After hearing this, Murata Takasei still agreed.

He also felt that there was something strange about the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.

However, he could not easily let go of his arrogance as a division commander, and shouted angrily:
"Baga! You bastard, what else can you do besides making excuses?
Get back now!
Command your men to use the least amount of shells to destroy the Eighth Route Army's artillery!
I will send a telegram to the Commander, asking him to arrange for the baggage soldiers to deliver the shells!"

"Hey! I understand!"

Kazuo Mitsui was very satisfied after getting the shells.

He immediately agreed and turned and ran.

……

Seeing this guy running away, Murata Takasei immediately called the telegraph operator and asked him to send a message to Iwamatsu Kazuo in Jinyang City to ask for artillery shells.

Then he drew the command knife from his waist and gave a loud order:

"Warriors, hurry up! Charge forward!

As long as we get close to the Tubalu positions, their artillery will be useless!"

However, he knew that distant water could not quench immediate thirst, and it would take at least several hours for the artillery shells from Jinyang City to be delivered.

But it was getting dark and he couldn't wait that long.

Right now, the artillery regiment barely has enough shells left to fight the enemy.

Attract the attention of enemy artillery fire.

Once our artillery runs out of ammunition, the situation will probably take a sharp turn for the worse.

Therefore, we might as well take advantage of the moment and try our best to reach Qubei County before dark.

Otherwise, it would be extremely dangerous to sleep outdoors in the wilderness tonight!
……

Following his orders, the Japanese soldiers had no choice but to get up from the ground and rush forward desperately.

Even if an occasional shell hits and kills or injures dozens of people, no one cares.
