Mosquitoes are also meat when they are small.

Although there is not much ammunition left, something is better than nothing.

The headquarters had just received several telegrams, all of which asked for ammunition.

The distribution of these weapons and ammunition will certainly solve the urgent needs of the troops.

As long as you survive the present, you still have time to think of other ways to solve this problem.

He immediately ordered: "Chief of Staff, you immediately arrange the troops, send all these weapons and ammunition to the front line, and distribute them to the various units." ”

"The devils are menacing, and if there is not enough ammunition, the troops will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

It only took half an hour for the chief of staff to return: "Commander, it's all divided." ”

"The nearest troops will be able to receive the ammunition tonight, and the farther ones will definitely receive it tomorrow night, so as to ensure that the combat of the units will not be affected."

After hesitating for a moment, he added: "It's just that the large-caliber mortar shells have run out, and there is nowhere to go if you want to replenish them." ”

"There are 27 large-caliber mortars in the entire base area, and if the ammunition is sufficient, used in a concentrated manner, and a certain number of troops cooperate, they will definitely be able to hit the little devil attack the troops in an ambush and swallow them in one bite."

"The power of those heavy mortars is too great, if you explode a large area and concentrate on the devil ambush, the lethality will definitely be greater than when attacking the fortifications."

Commander Chen shook his head and replied, "No way." ”

"We have too few offensive weapons, and in order to reduce the casualties of the attacking troops, we can only use heavy mortars as mountain guns when hitting enemy pillboxes, which is why we consume so many heavy mortar shells."

"Without these heavy mortars, the troops' gains would certainly not be so great, and the casualties would have increased by at least 30 percent."

The chief of staff also had a helpless expression on his face.

Heavy mortars are used as mountain artillery, although it is a bit overkill, but there is no way.

With a long sigh, he replied, "Or too little ammunition." ”

"If each mortar is equipped with 100 shells, we will now have more than 1,000 shells available, enough to fight the devils in a battle of annihilation and severely damage their attacking troops.

Commander Chen shook his head and did not answer.

Suddenly, the communications company commander walked in with a serious face.

"Commander. Headquarters emergency telegram, is encrypted telegram. ”

The chief of staff took the telegram and personally translated it, and soon the original text of the telegram appeared in Commander Chen's hand.

When he first read the telegram, Commander Chen's brows furrowed tightly, but it didn't last long, and a smile appeared on his face.

Putting away the telegram, he said excitedly: "Chief of Staff, we have artillery shells, which are the heavy mortar shells you want, and as many as you want, the only problem is that we need to get them ourselves." ”

"Pass my orders: the first regiment of the first division, the fourth regiment of the second division, the seventh regiment of the third division, and the heavy mortar companies directly under the three divisions are to assemble immediately."

"The three regiments gave up all their baggage, carried only weapons and ammunition of the minimum standard, took three heavy mortar batteries, and marched to the headquarters in a hurry, and they must all be in place before dark tomorrow, and I have a new task for them."

"Other units continue to counter-sweep, using guerrilla warfare and movement warfare, which we are good at, to slow down the attack speed of the little devils."

"As long as they hold the little devil for five days, I will have a way to fight back and win this counter-sweep."

"Chief of Staff, you sit in the command headquarters and command all the remaining troops in the base area."

Seeing that the chief of staff looked puzzled, Commander Chen didn't explain, and the deputy chief of staff who was staring at the side continued to order: "From now on, mobilize all the forces in the base area to collect mules and horses for me, the more the better, until tomorrow before dark." ”

"I'll give you a standard, at least two thousand horses."

"All the baggage battalions are on standby, ready to go, and all the mules and horses collected by the headquarters are handed over to them for centralized management."

Deep in the mountains, Li Hao was still sitting next to an ammunition box, studying the map laid out on the ammunition box.

Although the goal of transfer is set, it does not mean that the matter is over.

From here to Commander Chen's base, there is also a small devil occupation area in between.

If you don't have a safe enough route to transfer, there will be problems in between.

Now Li Hao is facing a difficult problem is that he is not clear about the distribution of the Japanese puppet army in this area.

In this case, he could only find a way to avoid the strongholds and towns heavily defended by the Japanese puppet army, bypass them, and take a small road into Commander Chen's base area.

But this brings another problem: the trails are difficult to walk and the distances will increase. The longer the troops are on the road, the greater the chance of exposure and the greater the risk.

"Regiment Commander, Commander Chen's telegram!"

The Chief of Staff suddenly walked over and interrupted, a smile on his face.

"We don't have to think about how to get to Commander Chen's base, Commander Chen has already helped us plan the transfer route, and it's in the telegram."

After reading the telegram, Li Haomeng reacted after a moment: "The chief's courage is greater than mine, and he walked directly from the edge of the county town heavily defended by the Japanese army and went straight to the base area. ”

"In this way, the distance we have to travel will be shortened by one-third, and the time will be reduced by nearly one-third."

The smile on Hong Linfeng's face disappeared, and he reminded with a worried face: "Will it be dangerous?" ”

"There must be a lot of Japanese puppet troops in the county, and there are garrisons around to reinforce it, and any accident may cause us to lose a lot of supplies."

Li Hao shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, Commander Chen has already taken this into consideration." ”

"In addition to the three main regiments and a baggage battalion, Commander Chen also brought twenty-seven heavy mortars."

"Set them up outside the city and fire a few cannons first, even if we pass under their noses, the Japanese puppet army will only dare to shrink into a turtle shell."

"So the whole retreat route must be very safe."

"And Commander Chen has built a base here for so long, he must have planted a lot of lines in the middle of the Japanese puppet army, if the Japanese puppet army has a move, he will definitely know in advance, and then take us to avoid the risk."

"Now that the march route has been set, we must also move."

"According to the marching route planned by Commander Chen, we are marching in the mountains for nearly a hundred kilometers in front, and the possibility of danger is very low. So I decided that we would walk the 100-kilometer mountain road by ourselves and join Commander Chen on the side of the mountain. ”

"Order the troops to hurry up and rest and start moving after dark."

"We have to move like ants, little by little, to transfer the supplies and ammunition here to a hundred kilometers away."

Although Li Hao did not have many troops at hand, he had many mules and horses.

All the war horses of the mobile battalion and the mules and horses equipped by the baggage troops are all here. It adds up to more than a thousand horses.

Each mule and horse carries a weight of 300 catties, and more than 1,000 mules, horses and war horses can transport more than 300,000 catties of materials at one time.

It only takes three trips to remove all the supplies here.

When Commander Chen comes, the troops will have one less day to enter the base area.
