Li Hong had blown up and sunk the devil warship before, and the merit points and merit coupons combined were more than 1.5 million.

The Security Regiment had never exchanged fire with the Devil Navy before, and some of the battles it experienced were land battles.

Today's battle made Li Hong realize that the devil's naval artillery is too strong, and if you want to wrestle with the devil's fleet, you must have enough long-range artillery. 、

There were a lot of various artillery pieces of the security regiment, however, it was simply impossible to suppress the enemy's naval guns, and only 155-mm cannons could inflict damage on the Devil warships.

Therefore, Li Hong spent 500,000 merit points in exchange for five 150-mm multiple rocket launchers.

After exchanging the rocket artillery, Li Hong spent another 1 million merit coupons to exchange for a 155-mm large-caliber cannon and various weapons and ammunition in one go.

Artillery alone is not enough, and no matter how many cannons there are without artillery operation, it is also a pile of broken copper and iron.

The artillery of the security regiment suffered a lot of casualties, and the artillery was seriously insufficient, and the lack of artillery gave Li Hong a headache.

Artillery is easy to obtain, but artillery is hard to find, and this is the problem that Li Hong is facing.

After all, artillery is a technical branch, and although it is not as difficult as training pilots, it is not so quick to train a group of experienced artillerymen.

Now that the battle situation and time are pressing, the devil's troops may attack again at any time, and it will definitely be too late to train artillery. 、

Moreover, even if some artillery is temporarily trained, it is estimated that it will be artillery with no hit rate when the empty cannon is released.

When Li Hong was in trouble, Li Hong suddenly thought of a method commonly used by devils to replenish his troops.

When the officers and men suffered serious attrition in battle, the devil's superiors would airlift veterans and commanders with combat experience to the front line by transport planes.

Thinking of this, Li Hong immediately asked the signal corps to send an urgent telegram to the base area, ordering the transport planes of the flying squadron to airlift a batch of experienced artillery units over.

It is the quickest way to transport artillery to the front-line battlefield by plane, and if all goes well, the artillery will be able to reach the Jiangbei town military airfield tomorrow morning.

……

Anqingcheng, the Central China Dispatch Army of the Japanese Army, the headquarters of the 11th Army.

The Japanese 11th Army had five and a half divisions under its jurisdiction; The 6th, 9th, 27th, 101st, 106th, and Hatian detachments.

In addition to these more than 100,000 army units, the 11th Army also has a fleet and a flying regiment to cooperate, and it can be said that the Japanese 11th Army's combat sequence is unprecedentedly strong, and the sea, land and air are all complete.

A devil general wearing the uniform of a Japanese army general stood respectfully at his desk with a phone in his hand, his head bowed, and he was being reprimanded by Shunroku Hatata, the commander of the Japanese Central China Dispatch Army on the other end of the phone.

The devil general who was reprimanded was the notorious Okamura Ninji, who was also the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.

Okamura Ninji graduated from the Japanese Army University, and he began to study various kinds of intelligence in China at an early age, and he is an authentic Chinese expert.

Gangmura, an old devil, although he is inferior to his superior Shunroku Hata in terms of position, he has rarely been defeated on the battlefield, and his command ability in major battles far surpasses that of commander Shunroku Hatata.

It is no exaggeration to say that Okamura Ninji's command ability is second to none among all the senior generals of the Japanese army, and he has a strategic vision.

During the period when Gangcun Old Devil was the commander of the North China Front, Gangcun Ningci ordered the troops to carry out a large-scale sweep, and was the implementer and advocate of the Sanguang policy, and even created many incidents of killing civilians who exterminated humanity......

In a word, the old devil Gangcun Ningci is a devil, and when it comes to the crimes he committed, it is difficult to write.

Gangmura Ningji was drenched in blood by the dog of Hata's six trainings, and he didn't dare to breathe or refute it.

"Yaga, Gangmura-kun, you arrogant fool, it was because of your blind arrogance and greed for merit that you lost the Nanshan position, causing the Hatada detachment of Madang Fortress to be isolated, and we also lost a lot of warships, and the army and navy caused such a lot of casualties......" Shunroku Hata scolded Okamura Ninji on the other end of the phone.

"Ha Yi, Commander Tada, is a subordinate incompetent!"

Gangcun Ningci was very angry and depressed in his heart, he never thought that a security regiment with such strong combat effectiveness would come out, completely disrupting his combat deployment and attack plan.

Originally, the Japanese army stationed a lot of troops around the Nanshan position and Madang Fortress, but Gangcun Ningci was in a hurry and transferred part of the garrison to prepare for an attack on Wuhan.

Because of a few beautiful battles, the old devil Gangcun Ningci was indeed a little floating, he misestimated the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, and thought that the Chinese army was a vulnerable and miscellaneous army.

He only knew that he was greedy for merit, but he ignored the defense of the rear of the arch guard, and the battle line was too long, so that the rear of the devil was empty and could not be reinforced in time and lost the Nanshan position.

The most undesirable thing is that Okamura Ningji ordered the 106th Division to recapture the Nanshan position overnight without knowing the information......

Shunroku Hata reprimanded Okamura Ninji a few words, and said in a soothing tone: "Okamura-kun, the responsibility for the loss of the Nanshan position is not entirely on you, the security regiment has always not played cards according to the routine, so Li Hong, the damn guy, took advantage of the situation and exploited the loophole, and besides, they are equipped with many large-caliber artillery guns, and the combat effectiveness is too strong, and it is necessary to reformulate a strict offensive deployment to recapture the Nanshan position." ”

"Hayi, Commander, my subordinates understand, please forgive me......," Okamura Ninji said reproachfully.

Although Okamura Ninji suffered a defeat, but Hata Shunroku did not feel that this subordinate was incompetent, but he still valued Okamura Ninji very much, after all, Okamura Ninji was one of the rare commanders in the Japanese Army.

"Gangcun-kun, the 11th Army led by you is invincible, and in less than a month, it has connected Anqing, Xingping, Nanshan, and Madang Fortresses, and won honor for our Central China Dispatch Army."

Hatatakero paused and then said: "Gangmura-kun, the Chinese army has gathered the main forces of the two major theaters, and we must not underestimate the enemy again. The Nanshan position has been lost, Madang Fortress must not be lost, you immediately formulate a battle plan to open up the Yangtze River blockade line, and reinforce the Botian detachment as soon as possible! ”

"Commander, the security regiment occupies the Nanshan position, and they have air force support, we need the cooperation of the naval fleet......" Okamura Ninji frowned and said his difficulties.

"I know Okamura-kun, I will urge the naval fleet and the aviation regiment to cooperate with your army to fight."

"Thank you, Commander!"

Okamura Ninji put down the phone in his hand and immediately summoned his subordinates to the headquarters for a meeting......
