Chapter 1149: Breaking Logistics (First Update!) )
"Sir...... The Eighth Route Army, which attacked us, seems to have escaped! The firepower point that had just been exposed dozens of meters away did not respond for a long time, and Jun Cao, who was lying next to the squad leader, frowned and reminded.
"It must have run away! The machine gunner stops shooting! The second lieutenant squad leader ordered.
Then command the subordinates to move on.
The materials must be delivered to the front-line troops before dark, and even if the escort troops in their hands are completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army, the materials and ammunition must be delivered.
The convoy went less than a kilometer further, and the familiar sound of machine-gun fire again reached the ears of the second lieutenant.
Because of caution, the devil only died four people this time.
However, these four men were the only four machine gunners in the second lieutenant's possession. The Heavy fell to the ground with bullets, and the machine guns on the Heavy's shoulders smashed to the ground.
The devils next to them subconsciously wanted to recapture the light machine gun to fight back, but before they could touch the machine gun, the oncoming dense bullets knocked them into a sieve.
"Yaga...... The enemy's fire was so fierce that it was necessary to fight back immediately and suppress their machine-gun fire...... Rifleman, shoot now! The second lieutenant lay on the ground, drew his command knife, and commanded loudly.
"Da Da Da ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, a string of bullets flew towards him.
The second lieutenant ducked his head to dodge the oncoming bullets, but the two subordinates behind him did not dodge and fell to the ground.
The two light machine guns equipped by the action team, one light machine gun, stared at the two machine guns that the devil smashed on the ground, and did not let the devil get close. Another light machine gun fired at the place where there were many devils, and the dense gunfire did not stop from the beginning.
There were a dozen devil riflemen left on the road, and half of them were suppressed by this light machine gun, and there was no way to fight back.
The remaining half of the devils fought back desperately with their rifles, but the bullets that were fired at them around them were obviously more dense.
In the action team of 30 or 40 people, the most training in the past few days of intensive training was shooting.
Other training can't be effective in a short period of time, and the only way to do it is to use bullet feeding.
Thousands of rounds of ammunition seized from the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army were all taken out by the captain for several days to train marksmanship.
More than 100 bullets per person were used for training, and the puppet army prisoners, who were rarely issued with live ammunition in normal times, made the most obvious progress. Within 50 meters, there is already an eighty percent certainty of hitting a fixed target.
Thirty or forty people were firing at five or six devil riflemen, and they were shooting at close range. Although the casualties of the action team were large, the casualties of the devils were not small, and people were constantly killed and wounded.
As for the puppet soldiers who escorted the coolies next to the cart, they all lay on the ground.
The Eighth Route Army did not cause a single casualty to the Imperial Alliance Army in two consecutive attacks, as long as you are not a fool, you can understand that the Eighth Route Army is deliberately trying to let itself live.
Therefore, they are not stupid enough to risk their lives and lie motionless on the ground, waiting for the battle to end. As for the ongoing battle, it has nothing to do with you, as long as you can save your life.
Of course, the living devils are not stupid, and it is impossible to watch the Imperial Allied Army that they have worked so hard to train become bystanders on the battlefield and immediately threaten them to counterattack.
The puppet army is not a fool, and if it strikes back at this time, isn't that a deliberate bullet?
Therefore, even if they counterattack, the muzzle of the rifle in their hand will be deliberately raised.
As a result, the team needs to face the few devils left on the road.
After losing nearly ten team members in a row, there were finally not many devils left on the road who could still move, and even the devil second lieutenant was beaten into a sieve by a few bullets!
At the headquarters of the Japanese division in Linfen City, the chief of staff rushed into the war room in a hurry with a telegram, and reported when he saw Lieutenant General Ito.
"General, something has happened to the sweeping troops in the hinterland of the new regiment's base area...... The captain of the Sato Brigade has just sent a farewell telegram! ”
"They were dragged by the cavalry units of the Eighth Route Army, and then surrounded by at least one main battalion of the new regiment!"
"The Eighth Route Army had mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns. It was getting dark again, and the air force could not provide them with air reinforcements. Sato Shaoza reported that they are likely to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army tonight! ”
"And they are ready to fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army, even if the whole army is destroyed, they will kill the Eighth Route Army with the same strength!"
"They are all warriors!" Lieutenant General Ito hesitated for a long time to answer.
"If I'm not mistaken, this Sato brigade has achieved remarkable results after entering the base area of the Eighth Route Army. In just two days, more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians of the new regiment were wiped out, and a battalion headquarters of the new regiment was also destroyed. If they were wiped out tonight and killed the same number of Eighth Route Army, then they would have killed twice as many Eighth Route Army! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency the Division Commander!" The chief of staff affirmed.
Lieutenant General Ito immediately ordered: "Call Sato back: I believe that Amaterasu is on our side, let him fight with confidence!" ”
"In addition, tell Sato Shaozo that at the critical moment, I will allow him to break through with the guard troops and retreat to the base of the Eighth Route Army!"
"He is a talent of the Imperial Japanese Army, a talent can't just die, the Imperial Japanese Army still needs him to continue fighting!"
The chief of staff hurriedly replied: "I'll go and give them an order right away!" ”
In less than ten minutes, the chief of staff returned, holding several telegrams in his hand, and his expression was even more solemn than just now.
"The commander of the division, the telegram from the front, they did not receive the ammunition supplies we sent to them at the specified time~ No accident, there must be a problem with those ammunition supplies!"
"What?" The division commander, Lieutenant General Ito, got up from his seat with a rub.
Staring at the chief of staff, he asked: "Is it one or two brigades that did not receive ammunition supplies or all brigades did not receive ammunition supplies!" ”
"Now there are three brigades sending telegrams, they have not received ammunition supplies!" The chief of staff replied with a frown.
"According to the speed of the transport troops, they should have sent the ammunition supply to the front line an hour ago!"
"Something must be wrong!" Lieutenant General Ito replied in the affirmative.
"Each of our transport teams only has more than twenty imperial troops and thirty or forty imperial army escorts, which is too small. Moreover, there are still many Eighth Route Army armies in the areas under our control, and they must have done it. If it weren't for the fact that the defenders of Linfen City were too small, I would definitely send more troops to escort it! ”
After sighing, he stared at the chief of staff and asked: "How long will the remaining ammunition from the front line last!" ”
"Not enough for tonight, enough for one night!" The chief of staff replied!
"It's over......" Lieutenant General Ito had a desperate expression on his face!
