Sir, all the ammunition airdropped to us by the transport plane has been found, and it is all the bullets and shells that we are in short supply, enough for us to use for two days. Shao Zuo rushed to the city and reported excitedly.

The subordinates standing next to Osa were all happy.

With these ammunition, they have more confidence to defend Laiyuan City.

Not only that, today's successful airdrop gave them a hope, even if Laiyuan City was surrounded by heavy garrison troops, and the superiors could not replenish ammunition for everyone from the ground, the troops still had the option of airdropping, and it would definitely not be cut off.

Unexpectedly, Dazuo was not as happy as his subordinates.

Nodding his head to indicate that he knew, he fell into deep thought, looking at the outside of the city that was gradually quieting down, waiting for something.

Half an hour later, the smoke curtain wall surrounding the city completely dissipated, and Osa raised his binoculars and just scanned the position where the gun had just been fired, and many corpses of the imperial army entered his field of vision.

His brow furrowed slowly.

The ammunition that the transport plane has just dropped is important, and the imperial soldiers who died in battle are equally important, and both are indispensable.

If it weren't for the destruction of the ammunition depot and the urgent need for ammunition replenishment to stabilize the morale of the army, Dazuo would not have let his subordinates go out of the city to die for the sake of ammunition.

"Report!" Shao Zuo, who led his troops out of the city, climbed to the top of the city and pulled Da Zuo back to reality.

Seeing that Dazuo shifted his gaze to himself, he immediately reported: "Sir, there are a total of 96 imperial troops and 118 imperial alliance troops in the attack force that have not returned. ”

Dazuo's brows furrowed even deeper: "The loss is greater than I expected. ”

"Just for two days of ammunition, more than 200 people were lost, what a loss."

"However, because of the ammunition airdropped to us by the transport plane, the morale of the troops in chaos is obviously more stable than before, and everyone's confidence in holding Laiyuan City is enough. From this point of view, the loss of more than 200 people is well worth it. ”

The battalion headquarters of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion, and his subordinates are also reporting the battle situation to Zhao Wen.

Contrary to the solemn expression of the Japanese commander, Zhao Wen's face was full of smiles.

Although they did not grab a box of ammunition dropped by the transport plane, the troops wiped out more than 200 puppet troops.

In Zhao Wen's eyes, those airdropped ammunition entered the city and entered the city, it was no big deal.

As long as the troops fought a little harder when they feinted at night, at most two nights, the ammunition that the Japanese had just dropped would be exhausted.

The Japanese puppet army killed is different, that is the real result, the Japanese puppet army in the city will never be able to make up for it, which will definitely reduce a lot of combat pressure for the troops to attack Laiyuan in the future.

"Tell the comrades that today we have a good rest during the day, and in the evening we will have more food to celebrate the victory just now." Zhao Wen ordered happily.

Before several company commanders had time to rejoice, the communications squad leader rushed in with a serious face.

"Battalion commander, the regimental headquarters is in an emergency."

"A small devil baggage team entered the base area two hours ago and marched towards Laiyuan City in a hurry."

"The baggage team is all mules and horses, there are more than 300 horses, and the escort force has a squadron of devils, a company of the puppet army, and an airplane in the sky."

"The regimental headquarters ordered us to stop this baggage team at all costs and not let them enter Laiyuan City."

Zhao Wen glanced at his watch and analyzed: "Enter the base area at eight o'clock, and enter Laiyuan City at six o'clock in the afternoon if you march in a hurry." ”

"The little devils have a good plan, the baggage team is all mules and horses, and our method of slowing down their march by destroying the road will not work."

"There are planes in the sky to escort them, and it will not work to gather heavy troops to intercept them head-on, so they can only use small forces to constantly sneak attack them with guerrilla warfare and sparrow warfare."

"But this kind of petty fight can't stop the baggage team at all, at most they will lose some troops and materials, and the main force and most of the supplies will still enter Laiyuan City on time."

The instructor frowned and reminded: "Battalion commander, the task given to us by the regiment commander is not unfinished. ”

Zhao Wen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he shook his head and replied: "If you can't finish it, you have to find a way to complete it." ”

"The key to the task is to slow down the marching speed of the baggage team, so that they can't advance to Laiyuan City after dark. With the current strength of the independent battalion, as long as it waits until it gets dark, it will definitely be able to swallow them in one bite. ”

"The troops' dinner tonight has been postponed."

"Instructor, you take one, two, or two companies to stay here, protect the heavy artillery company and an air defense company, and continue to feint and attack Laiyuan City after dark."

"The other troops will follow me and stop the baggage team outside Laiyuan City at all costs."

"Da Da Da ......"

A string of machine-gun fire rang out next to the road, and bullets flew in a fan-shaped whizz towards the Japanese puppet troops on the road.

Two puppet soldiers next to each other fell in response, one died on the spot, and the other fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

The Japanese puppet army next to him was not affected, as if they didn't see the scene in front of them, and continued to rush around the corpses and wounded, and did not fight back.

This scene was clearly seen by Zhao Wen, and he analyzed with a calm face: "The Japanese puppet army is determined to enter Laiyuan City before dark, and our sneak attack is just an itch for them." Unless there is a way to break their bones, the baggage team will certainly not stop. ”

"Battalion commander, there is really no way for me to take the third company to the mountain pass in front of me to block it head-on, even if the devils have planes, I am confident that I can block them for half an hour." The commander of the third company gritted his teeth and asked for battle.

"No way!" Zhao Wen refused without hesitation.

"You can indeed block for half an hour, but half an hour later, your third company was also bombed by the devil plane."

"What then?" The third company commander asked with a frown.

"Shoot mules and horses!" Zhao Wen's eyes suddenly lit up and shouted.

"The purpose of the devil's dispatch of the baggage team is to send ammunition supplies to Laiyuan City, if the ammunition is gone, there is no point in them going to Laiyuan City again."

"The ammunition is all on the back of mules and horses, without mules and horses, the Japanese puppet army can only carry ammunition, the marching speed will definitely slow down, and it will not be able to enter Laiyuan City before dark!"

"That's right, just fight like this, inform the troops, and shoot the mules and horses of the Japanese baggage team at all costs."

"Kill the devil's baggage team, we will eat mule and horse meat tonight, and we will have enough."

"Da Da Da ......"

The familiar sound of machine-gun fire rang out again, and the three mules and horses fell to the ground with a "plop ......", and the ammunition boxes tied to their backs smashed to the ground together, scattered everywhere.

This time the devil did not turn a blind eye.

Immediately dispatched a dozen puppet soldiers to carry the boxes on the ground, abandoned the killed mules and horses, and continued to move forward.

"It's useful to fight mules and horses, continue to attack......" Zhao Wen, who saw all this, exclaimed excitedly.

"Horn ...... Da Da Da ...... Boom ......"

All kinds of gunfire sounded like firecrackers, and they rang out next to the baggage team.

One by one, the mules and horses were killed.

The devil squadron leader's face was full of anger, and he had already seen the purpose of the Eighth Route Army.

Holding the command knife in his left hand and clenching his fist in his right hand, he wanted to order the troops to counterattack and take out the surrounding Eighth Route Army, but in the end he held back until one of his subordinates caught up from behind.

"Sir, we've killed more than forty mules and horses. Each mule and horse carried three hundred pounds of ammunition, and it took at least six soldiers to carry it on the march. ”

"Now almost all the soldiers are carrying ammunition, and if any more mules and horses are killed, we will have to give up the extra ammunition."

"Bageya Road, what is the plane for, why don't you help us kill the surrounding Eighth Route Army." The squadron leader scolded.

The deputy captain explained: "Sir, the Eighth Route Army that attacked us was all carried out in groups of two or three people. They were also covered with camouflage nets, and they ran away, and the plane was cruising at an altitude of several hundred meters, and they could not be found at all. ”

"Unless they are grouped together and fight in infantry platoons, the planes will not threaten them."
