The drizzling winter rain made the air a little colder, and the devastated mountains and rivers in the Jiangnan region were bleak and shrouded in a gloomy mist. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The continuous rain made the roads muddy, and under the gloomy sky, the devil troops were struggling to move forward, and from time to time cars full of devils and supplies got stuck in the mud puddle and could not climb out.

The 104th Brigade commander, Major General Tomamidi, was in a mood as bad as the gloomy weather, making slow progress in the face of the losing resistance of the Chinese troops on the Jiangyin Line, while the friendly 16th Division had already captured Changzhou.

If they can't take Jiangyin and continue to advance like this, then their 13th Division will not be able to catch up with the battle to capture Nanjing, the capital of China, how can a soldier miss the supreme glory of capturing the capital of the enemy country.

Although the bad weather deprived the attacking troops of tactical support from the air, Major General Tomamidi had no intention of stopping the attack, because they had no time to spend here, and they had to take Jiangyin and go to Nanjing as soon as possible.

"Brigade commander, division commander urges when will we be able to capture the position of the Zhina Army in front of me?" A devil staff officer rushed to the brigade commander, Major General Tomamidi, saluted and reported the service.

Major General Tomamidi pondered for a moment and then replied: "Please tell the division commander that our brigade will take the position of the Zhina Army in front of it before noon and advance to Jiangyin County."

"Hello!" After the devil staff officer answered, he immediately turned around and went out.

The brigade commander, Major General Tomamidi, turned around and ordered: "Let the 58th Wing and the 65th Wing speed up the attack, and be sure to take the position of the Zhina Army in front of you before noon!"

The staff officer immediately picked up the phone to convey the order to the field wing fighting on the front line, and Major General Tomachi picked up the telescope and strode to the observation position to look at the battle situation.

The Devil's front-line troops soon launched an attack on the Chinese defenders' positions in the mud, and all kinds of light and heavy weapons opened fire in unison, and the positions were shrouded in gunsmoke.

Although the Devils' front-line troops attacked fiercely, the Chinese defenders guarding the positions also received orders to defend to the death, and they braved the Devils' artillery fire and fought to the death.

The battle lasted for about half an hour, and the devil troops who had been frustrated in the offensive once again retreated like a tide, which made the brigade commander, Major General Tomamidi, feel very angry and prepared to personally go to the front line to supervise the battle.

When Major General Tomamidi arrived at the front headquarters of the 58th Wing wearing a raincoat and stepping on the mud, without waiting for the officers of the wing to explain, he immediately scolded his head and face: "Waste! Big Day. The face of this imperial army has been lost by you, if you can't take the position of the branch army, you will wait for the sky. Your Majesty, seppuku and apologize! ”

In the face of the roar of Major General Tomamidi, the officers of the 58th Wing were as silent as a chill and bowed their heads vigorously.

"Attack! Reorganize the offensive! Rear Admiral Tomamichi, who had vented his anger, coldly ordered the Wing Commander.

The Wing Commander of the 58th Wing was bitter because they had been fighting for months without rest, and now they were suffering from the bad weather, and most importantly, they were now running out of ammunition.

"Brigade commander, our soldiers no longer have enough ammunition to launch a new offensive, many soldiers have less than ten rounds of ammunition in their hands......"

The brigade commander, Major General Tomamidi, was also shocked when he heard the complaint, he did not expect that the ammunition of the troops was so lacking, which was unimaginable, and asked rhetorically: "Why is it not replenished in time?"

The wing commander said with a bitter face: "The ammunition depot at the forward base has been depleted of ammunition, the various units have not been replenished, and the transport team is ...... because of the rain."

Hearing the Wing Captain's explanation, the anger in Major General Tomamiji's heart finally subsided a little.

The divisions advanced so fast that the replenishment of ammunition could not keep up with the consumption, and the ammunition had to be transported from Shanghai, and now it was encountering the drizzling winter rains and muddy roads in China, which led to the running out of ammunition for the front-line troops.

No matter how sophisticated the weapon is, if it loses its ammunition, it will become a burning stick, and now not only is the ammunition running out, but the bad weather makes the plane unable to take off, which greatly affects the combat of the troops.

"Damn the weather!" Major General Tomamichi cursed the bad weather fiercely in his heart.

The so-called clever women are difficult to cook without rice, and the front-line troops lacking ammunition support are no longer capable of launching a new offensive, so they must not be allowed to rush up and fight with bayonets.

Although the chief of staff of the dispatching corps assured the base camp that no supplies would be collected on the spot and that bayonets would be fought if there was no ammunition at the time of the expansion of the front, that was only an expression of determination to the base camp, and the symbolism was more symbolic than practical, and the reality was that a lack of ammunition simply could not launch a powerful offensive.

"Order the troops to rest in place and wait for the ammunition to be replenished." The brigade commander, Major General Tomamiji, finally reluctantly ordered the troops to suspend the offensive and at the same time prepared to report the new situation to the division commander Ogisu Tatsuto.

Before the matter of ammunition was resolved, Mishima Shosa, a brigade directly under the brigade, reported the bad news to Major General Tomamiji, that is, they had still not been able to search for the Shina Army in the area where the radio signal was detected, and they speculated that the Shina Army had fled.

The brigade directly under the brigade led by Mishima Shaosa went to the area where the radio station of the Shina Army was detected to search for the Shina rout, hoping to capture the senior commander of the opposing side.

Because the brigade commander, Major General Tomamidi, judged that only the division and brigade level of the Chinese army would be equipped with radios, and there must be high-ranking generals on the other side in the places where the radios haunted.

If they can capture the high-ranking generals of the other side, then they will be able to deal a heavy blow to the Chinese army in public opinion, which is the idea of the brigade commander, Major General Tomamidi, but in fact, in addition to killing more than 30 Chinese soldiers, they have been tossing and turning night after day, and still nothing has been achieved.

"Ahh Rubbish! Eater! ”

Major General Tomamichi's anger was ignited again, and a brigade of more than 1,000 people searched for each other, but let the place slip away, and he now had an urge to slash Mishima Shaosa.

In fact, Mishima Shaozuo, who is directly under the brigade, is also more wronged than Dou E, because it is even more difficult for them to search for a team that does not exist at all.

"Keep expanding your search! If you can't catch the commander of the Chinese army, you should apologize! ”

Major General Tomamichi's tone was cold, and he was in a bad mood, and he no longer had any patience to speak of.

Mishima Shaozo, who got the order, complained bitterly in his heart, tossing and being sleepy and tired, and now he was drenched in the cold winter rain, and it was almost fatal for him to continue searching.

The drizzling winter rain well concealed the traces of Yang Ling's retreat, so although Mishima Shaozo and they continued to expand the search area, they did not find any trace of Yang Ling.
