As one of the few veterans of the Anti-Japanese Federation and one of the founders of the Anti-United Nations artillery unit, Qiu Jintang can be said to be quite experienced. He still has a good idea of how many shells a cannon can fire at its maximum rate of fire in ten minutes. He knew very well how many shells his artillery group could consume in these ten minutes.

In Qiu Jintang's opinion, according to Yang Jicai's style of play, the effect is indeed immediate, but the consumption of this cannonball can be described as astronomical. And this is only more than an hour of shelling, if it is even half an hour, the headquarters has worked so hard to transfer all these shells from Hailar to clean up.

Combined with the consumption of yesterday's daytime and night battles, there is not much ammunition left on hand. Especially the rocket artillery shells, which were originally not too much left after yesterday's attrition. After this battle, I am afraid that whether it is 107 or 122 rocket artillery, it will have to bottom out.

Looking at Qiu Jintang's somewhat painful expression, Yi Jianping, who knew that he was feeling sorry for those shells in his heart, shook his head and didn't know how to comfort him. Because at this moment, Yi Jianping's feeling for Yang Jicai's style of play is no different from Qiu Jintang.

While applauding his cousin, he also felt quite painful about the shells that were fired. Although it is clear that this is the best way to solve the dilemma of the Alukorqin Banner battlefield at the moment, Yi Jianping, as the supreme political chief of the entire Linxi battlefield, is very aware of the difficult process of transporting these shells.

One shell from Hailar consumes two to three liters of gasoline. The cost of a 107 rocket shell is almost equal to three 75-mm field artillery shells or a 60 mortar. Yang Jicai is good, the 122 rocket launcher came up to hit a few salvos. One one-two-two rocket launcher, one salvo is thirty shells.

One 122 rocket artillery company, one salvo is 160 rockets, and two salvos are 320 rounds. Not counting ordinary rocket consumption, this guy even used all the more than 100 special rockets that are currently on the battlefield in Linxi.

These more than 100 special rockets are almost all of the entire Linxi battlefield. At the beginning, in order to ensure the success of the fire sea tactics, the headquarters specially added more than 100 pieces to the battlefields of Tongliao and Alu Korqin Banner. Shot out, because these were the only special shells in the hands of the headquarters. It's gone, and the headquarters can't resupply anymore.

According to this style of play, even if the anti-union is rich, it is really a little difficult. What's more, the current anti-union is still far from being rich and rich. If this happens again, the reserve of artillery shells painstakingly transported by the headquarters on the battlefield in Linxi will probably go down by more than half.

Looking at the dense cannonballs in front of him, blowing out a wall of fire composed of firelight from the cannonballs that stretched from Sumuyintara to the north, Yi Jianping really understood why it was said that the cannon was ten thousand taels of gold when it went off. It's just that although he also feels sorry for these shells, after all, where is his position and experience, Yi Jianping did not express the feeling of pain more obviously like Qiu Jintang.

Now he is thinking more about the use of Yang Jicai in the future. After meeting with Qiu Jintang, he learned in detail about the battle situation from last night to now, as well as the dispute between Yang Jicai and Wang Deyao. Coupled with Yang Jicai's expression just now, Yi Jianping finally understood why Wang Guangyu was full of praise for this young man.

Even despite Yang Jicai, who had only served as an acting company commander before, he lacked a certain amount of practical experience in leading troops. After Wang Deyao's death, Yang Jicai was directly asked to take over the burden of commanding the entire Alukorqin Banner battlefield. This can be described as a discerning eye, and this kind of battle will definitely not be able to fight without Wang Deyao.

Under the circumstance of the huge disparity in the number of troops, a man with a military age of only three years has not received a systematic military education. The highest military education is nothing more than a young man in the teaching corps of the military district. Fighting wits with the two veteran opponents who graduated from the Japanese Army University on the opposite side, they actually had the upper hand.

I am afraid that this requires not only experience, but also the ability to quickly judge and react on the battlefield, as well as long-term vision. After learning about the battle situation since last night from Qiu Jintang, even if it has been tested for a long time, Yi Jianping has to say something wonderful.

can be in the case of Wang Deyao suddenly deciding to lead half of the troops to sneak attack the 28th Wing. Quickly adjusted the deployment in a hurry, and consciously took the initiative to abandon the commanding heights of Zhangjiayingzi, consciously showed weakness, and firmly attracted the Japanese army in front of him to the line from Balaqirude to Aohan Yingzi.

It is not a simple matter of determination, but requires extraordinary courage and absolute strategic vision. Because his strength is patchwork, it is only the strength of more than one regiment. What needs to be faced are the two wings of the 7th Division, which have suffered some heavy losses, but still maintain complete combat effectiveness. Once you make a wrong decision, the consequences will be ruined.

He once saw a younger person than Yang Jicai in Guannei, who was a divisional and regimental level or even a military-level cadre during the Red Army. Compared with them, although Yang Jicai is also young and promising, he is not very prominent. However, this ability to react quickly on the battlefield and the ability to master the integrated command of the troops are absolutely the first.

This kind of battle is not something that can be won by mere bravery. Every adjustment on the battlefield, every deployment, is quite critical. A single loophole can cause irreparable consequences. And behind the line from Balaqirude to Ao Han Yingzi is the Bahrain Right Banner on the flank of the entire Linxi battlefield. Once it is breached, then the entire Linxi battlefield will fall into total passivity.

The risk he took in doing so was not something that ordinary people could afford. In the face of two experienced and well-educated people, it is remarkable that they can win in this night's battle of wits and strength, despite paying a certain price.

In fact, from now on, he also began to appreciate this young man who usually speaks little, but he can see the real chapter when he makes a move. In the current Yi Jianping's opinion, it is indeed a bit condescending to continue to put this guy in the position of staff officer. This young man's vision and mentality, especially the ruthless Cheng Dù who will kill you if he doesn't make a move, is no longer suitable for being a staff officer, and it's time to adjust his position.

It is very suitable for him to lead the troops, or to be the deputy section chief of the column for operations, or to serve as the deputy chief of staff of the first division. Hasn't Wang Guangyu always been dissatisfied with Sun Wenjiu, who is the chief of staff? Transferring Yang Jicai to the Operations Section as the deputy section chief must be very appetizing to Wang Guangyu. Let him go to the advance army to run a special training class for staff officers, isn't this a bit of a talented person?

Compared with Yi Jianping and Qiu Jintang, who were somewhat distressed by the shells, Lieutenant General Kunisaki Noboru had just had breakfast and was leisurely drinking tea in Baichengzi. After receiving the report from the front, his eyes were black when he was shocked, and he sat on the ground directly.

With the support of the adjutant beside him, Lieutenant General Noboru Kunisaki, who was barely standing up, couldn't care about any etiquette at the moment, and angrily threw the telegram at Tomita Naoliang, the chief of staff of the division, and said angrily: "Tomita-kun, can you explain to me why this situation happened?" ”

"Didn't you insist on the anti-union on the front line of Balakirude, and half of the troops were used to deal with the twenty-eighth union, which is a rare opportunity for us? Didn't it say that their defenders on the front line of Balachrud were inadequate? Isn't it said that their shells, which are now in short supply, are not able to provide significant fire support? ”

"You always insist that since the direction of the stone table has been opened, we should devote the maximum number of troops to break through on all fronts. Taking advantage of the fact that half of its troops were pinned down at Zagastainor, the whole division concentrated two main wings and penetrated the right banner of Bahrain to defeat the left flank of the Linxi battlefield in one fell swoop, which could establish immortal feats for the empire. ”

"I agreed to your request, but now it's in such a situation. Your entire plan, almost entirely a piece of waste paper, is not as accurate as your judgment. So now can you explain to me where the shells that are now falling on our heads come from?

"From the direction of the stone table, those loyal and brave soldiers of the empire who broke through the deep defense line of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, why did they suffer so many casualties? In the direction of the stone table, from the beginning of the battle to the present, the main force of the 27th Wing invested by the division and regiment is adding four infantry squadrons of the 26th Wing, together with less than three infantry squadrons of the wounded soldiers who have now withdrawn. ”

"More than 4,000 loyal soldiers of the empire have been loyal to the empire under the bombardment of enemy artillery. If we add to this the losses suffered earlier on the line from Balachrude to Ao Khan, as well as yesterday's daytime bombardment and shelling by enemy troops. In a short period of one day and night, in less than thirty-six hours, nearly 7,000 loyal and brave imperial warriors lost their lives. ”

"Two captains of the Great Zuo Wing died at the same time. I want to ask Tomita-kun, the Seventh Division plus you, there are only a few Dazuo in total. Even if you count the idiot of Kiyoshi Ichiki, how many wing commanders are there in the Seventh Division? Now it's not the idiot of Kiyoshi Ichiki, who killed two of them in one fell swoop. May I ask Tomita-kun, how do you ask me to explain to the base camp? ”

"And that's not counting the casualties suffered by the 28th Wing yesterday during the day and night. Now the Seventh Division has suffered such heavy casualties, which means that the whole division has lost its combat effectiveness. And our opponents are nothing more than two newly formed infantry regiments. What is called a newly formed infantry regiment, you Tomita Naoliang should be clear. ”

"The two newly formed infantry regiments, even if they reinforced a large number of heavy artillery, fought for thirty-six hours with a fully loaded division of ours, but they had such a result. When this news spreads, the commander of our division, Sakito, plus you, the chief of staff, will become a big joke in the Imperial Army. ”

"The first batch of veteran divisions formed by the dignified empire failed to win any of the key points after attacking in the middle of the night. It was also beaten into an empty shelf by the two recruit regiments, and it was the recruit regiment that was not their trump card unit. How can this be explained simply by the absolute superiority of the enemy's firepower? ”

"I hope you, Tomita-kun, can give me a reasonable explanation. It can give a reasonable explanation to the Kwantung Army and the Tokyo base camp. Don't sue me, Tomita-kun, our loyal and brave imperial warriors were all brutally blown up by enemy planes and heavy artillery. This reason is impossible for His Excellency the Commander of the Base Camp and the Kwantung Army or the Commander of the Tanitoo Army to accept. ”

"Since they attacked the 28th Wing last night, our opponents have been playing against us. And we are stupid, at the insistence of you, the chief of staff of the division. Not only did he not see that this was a trap, but he also got into their trap without hesitation. ”
