Three days ago, a transport convoy carrying 3 million rounds of ammunition and 10,000 shells was attacked in the mountains less than fifty miles from the front line.

By the time reinforcements from a wing arrived on the battlefield, the battle was over.

More than 500 transporters were killed, not a single one of them.

Of the three million rounds of ammunition and the 10,000 shells, not one was left, all of them were blown up on the spot.

You must know that after Fengcheng was sacked by the Liaodong Army, the Japanese army was the last left, and it was also the smallest logistics supply base.

In the beginning, the ammunition reserves of this base could last for a while. When new ammunition arrives in the country, you don't have to worry about it.

However, with the occurrence of various skirmishes and firefights on the front line.

The limited ammunition reserves of the supply base are quickly depleted like running water.

Faced with increasing ammunition consumption on the front line, the Japanese army eventually fell into this dangerous situation of supplying from home while fighting.

Therefore, these bullets and shells that were destroyed three days ago are urgently needed to be replenished at the front line.

Now that it is all of a sudden, it means that there will be a big gap in the supply of ammunition on the front line.

Of course, even so, this loss is still bearable.

As long as the follow-up ammunition supply can be delivered in time, he can still fill the gap by using the last ammunition reserve of the headquarters himself.

As a result, the angry Dashan Yan immediately ordered the transport troops to reinforce their forces to avoid another attack on the convoy.

However, Dashanyan did not expect that this time, the special operations detachment directly and unexpectedly transferred the target of the attack to the dock used by the Japanese army to unload the cargo.

Special operators with only grenades. Disguised as laborers, he entered the dock where the Japanese army had hoarded a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

After arranging the mine in the middle of the pile of ammunition. Leave the dock with the laborers.

That night, the Japanese dock garrison was as usual. When inspecting the mountain of ammunition piled up at the docks, it happened to trigger the trick mine arranged by the special combat team.

The grenade explosion detonated a box of explosives pressed against the grenade, which in turn detonated a mountain of shells around it.

Immediately, the dock full of various ammunition took off, and a huge fireball took off.

The vague and violent explosion sound, the shells that were not directly detonated, were like scattered flowers, flying everywhere, smashing on the ammunition piles in other parts of the dock and exploding, detonating the surrounding mountains of ammunition.

Thereupon. The wharf of Nuoda immediately had a chain reaction.

The dense and violent explosion, centered on the treacherous thunder, quickly spread to the surroundings.

And as long as the explosion has patronized the pile of ammunition, without exception, all turned into a raging fire.

In less than half a minute, the entire pier was engulfed in flames.

When the explosions stopped, the raging fire was finally extinguished. There is no doubt about the fact that the Japanese army has just delivered more than 10,000 supplies and ammunition from the country. All destroyed.

You must know that this 10,000 tons of supplies will be sent to the front line in 20 times to meet the needs of the front line for two months.

And now, a grenade is all burned to ashes.

Dashanyan, who was far away on the front line in Liaoyang, received this news. I almost fainted.

In front of him, after receiving this news, Dashan Yan was furious with his subordinates.

"Chief of Staff. Does the country know about this news and when will new ammunition supplies be delivered? Other than that. Haven't the intelligence services found out who is attacking our logistical supply lines? I had a hunch that the convoy and the dock were attacked. It should be the same person......"

"Hey......" the chief of staff hastened to answer.

"Although the enemy was not caught, we judged by the ammunition left by the enemy at the scene that the sneak attackers used Russian equipment. If nothing else, it should be the Russian army that sent combat detachments to disrupt our logistical supply lines. ”

"Eight Grid Tooth Road...... Cunning Russians, it must be them, it must be. Dashan Yan scolded loudly.

At this moment, the intelligence staff officer of the Japanese General Headquarters suddenly broke in and reported: "Commander-in-chief, emergency intelligence ......"

"The Russian army, which is confronting us, is carrying out a large-scale military movement and distributing ammunition. Including their artillery units, they received enough shells to fight a large-scale decisive battle. ”

"There is also the Liaodong Army, yesterday afternoon, the Russian army pulled a large amount of weapons and ammunition from the Liaodong Army station. After reconnaissance, the ammunition was purchased by the Russian army from the Liaodong Army, and the quantity was very large. ”

The chief of staff reacted first and reminded Dashan Yan: "Nani? Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, the Russian army is preparing for a decisive battle, and they are going to fight a decisive battle with us? ”

Dashan Yan also reacted, and replied with a gloomy face: "That's right...... Send men to sabotage our logistical supply lines first, and then launch a counterattack against us and fight us in a decisive battle. ”

"At that time, in the face of their clever attack, we will lose our ammunition supply, and we will only have one result...... The Russians are really calculating, and they deserve to be the old armies of the great powers......"

On the other hand, the worried expression on the chief of staff's face became even stronger, and he hurriedly said: "Commander-in-chief, then what should we do next......

"Even if we use up the last ammunition reserves, before we get a new supply of ammunition, once a decisive battle breaks out, our ammunition will only last for ten days at most......"

Under the gaze of several staff officers of the headquarters, Dashan Yan only thought for half a minute before deciding: "The two roads go together......

"Send a telegram to the country immediately, urging for ammunition supplies, the sooner the better......"

"Second, find a way to solve the ammunition yourself, at least ensure the ...... that the troops need for 20 days of operation"

Seeing that the worry on the chief of staff's face had not changed, Dashan Yan continued: "Chief of Staff, the Russian army can buy ammunition from the Liaodong Army, and we can also ......"

"According to my inference, the Liaodong Army snatched at least 20 million rounds of various bullets from Fengcheng, plus the follow-up transaction we gave him, 30 million rounds of ammunition are definitely indispensable......"

"You immediately send someone to the headquarters of the Liaodong Army, no matter what the cost, at least 20 million rounds of ammunition must be bought......"

"Of course, it would be better if you could buy more bullets and some shells back."

The worried expression on the chief of staff's face finally disappeared, and his eyes lit up and he said to Dashan Yan: "Commander-in-Chief Yingming, why didn't I think of ......"

"This matter is too important, it is related to the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers on the front line and the national fortunes of the entire Japanese Empire, and there can be no accidents. I don't feel at ease when I send someone over, I plan to go to Liaozhong in person......"

After thinking about it, Dashan Yan affirmed: "Yes, by the way, try the Liaodong Army, can you assist us in attacking from the flank of the Russian army after the decisive battle breaks out." ”

"As long as the Liaodong Army agrees, the chief of staff can promise some post-war benefits to the Liaodong Army......"

"Of course, if the Liaodong Army wants to see benefits now, it can also give them ......"

"As long as we can defeat the Russian army and occupy Manchuria, there will be time to clean up the Liaodong Army in the future, take back all the benefits they took from us, and repay it twice." (To be continued.) )uw
