Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2198 The Iron Wings of the Empire!

boom! boom!

Chu Chu Chu!

boom!boom!

The Japanese soldiers who entered the Valley of Evil were attacked again.

The Japanese soldiers who were marching first stepped on a landmine, and then were encountered by machine gun fire from the guerrillas on the mountain. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed in this wave.

The angry old devil Sato ordered the artillery to bombard the mountain indiscriminately, and soon the sound of the guerrillas' machine guns and rifles stopped.

Sato laughed, but Kitahara Hiroyuki was not in such a good mood.

He felt that this was not the main force of the guerrillas, but just a small group harassing them.

But if Sato opened fire when he encountered the enemy, the ammunition would soon be used up.

This is not a good thing to do. If the shells are used up, what should they do if they really encounter the enemy's main force? Then they will have to fight the enemy with their lives.

But can he stop it? Sato won't listen to advice at all, and will destroy the tacit understanding they have finally reached.

Just thinking about it really gives Kitahara Hiroyuki a headache that he has to work with such a group of arrogant guys.

But it won't work if we don't exercise moderation. Do we really have to wait until all the shells are used up before we think of a solution?

So he asked Colonel Takahashi who was standing beside him indirectly: "Mr. Takahashi, how many shells do we have left?"

Gao Qiao thought for a moment and said, "I asked someone to report during the rest period that there are still more than 150 shells."

Kitahara Hiroyuki sighed, but Takahashi realized at this moment that they did not have many shells left. If Sato continued to squander them like this, they would soon run out of shells.

So Takahashi hurried to find Sato and asked him to stop the shelling.

Sato was still willing to listen to Takahashi's words.

Sato was still surprised: "Are we running out of shells? Then we should request ammunition replenishment."

Takahashi nodded and said, "Yes, not only are we running low on artillery shells, but so are other ammunition."

Sato said, "Shall we send a telegram to Lord Takeda now?"

Takahashi smiled, then looked at Kitahara Hiroyuki and said, "We don't need to do this kind of thing now. The supreme commander here is Kitahara Hiroyuki!"

Sato nodded and smiled: "That's right!"

As he spoke, Sato shouted to Kitahara Hiroyuki, "Kitahara-kun, we are running out of shells. Other ammunition is also running low."

"Ugh!"

Kitahara Hiroyuki sighed. He knew this would be the result. It was hard to command, but he would have to do all the dirty work. He even had to apply for supplies from the headquarters.

  But that’s okay, at least this is the basis for cooperation among three people, right?

So Kitahara Hiroyuki ordered the communications officer to send a telegram to Lord Takeda, saying that the battle at the front was going well and that the enemy was gradually being forced into a desperate situation, but that the ammunition consumption was huge, and requested the headquarters to transfer ammunition supplies.

General Takeda nodded slightly when he saw this.

Obviously he still agreed with Kitahara Hiroyuki's telegram. At least the casualties did not continue to worsen.

Of course, he didn't know that the casualties were still there, just slightly smaller than before.

Moreover, Kitahara Hiroyuki did not report that they had lost nearly two squads of soldiers.

Takeda called back immediately and said that the supplies would be delivered to the front line soon and asked them to wait patiently.

After receiving the telegram, Kitahara Hiroyuki, Sato and Takahashi said with a smile: "Mr. Takeda is very supportive of us."

Sato sighed, "Kitahara-kun is indeed worthy of being Mr. Takeda's student!"

Obviously, Sato still had some complaints, even some jealousy. After all, General Takeda didn't even ask why the ammunition consumption was so huge. Of course, General Takeda was not like what Sato thought, because Kitahara Hiroyuki was his student, so he didn't ask anything and immediately sent supplies over.

This was because Sato and Takahashi had previously reported that their baggage train had been attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses in weapons and ammunition.

After such a long period of fighting, it is normal to run out of ammunition.

So General Takeda did not investigate further, but immediately dispatched troops to transport supplies to the front line.

But Sato thought so, thinking that General Takeda was favoring his students. He felt that when he was fighting, he didn't give people the guns he asked for. Instead, his students came to the front line to command the planes and supplies.

Kitahara Hiroyuki naturally heard the hidden meaning of Sato's words. Sometimes he really wanted to yell: Sato, you idiot, what do you know about war? What is strategy? Put away your arrogance and face our enemies. You still don't see how terrible the enemy is? Are you still fighting here?

But Kitahara Hiroyuki didn't say it in the end.

However, at this moment, another Japanese communications officer came to report: "Report, the reconnaissance plane has arrived. He is calling us."

Kitahara Hiroyuki gradually smiled and said, "Now that our reconnaissance plane has arrived, we no longer have to worry about the enemy ambushing us."

Sato poured cold water on him and said, "The field of view of the reconnaissance aircraft will be limited, and it can't fly in the sky all the time."

Kitahara Hiroyuki really wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

So he could only laugh dryly and said, "We can move forward when the reconnaissance plane arrives. Besides, we still have two bombers. Theoretically, the bombers can also be used as reconnaissance planes."

Sato said disdainfully: "The fuel tank of the bomber is as big as a lunch box. Are you kidding me to use it as a reconnaissance plane?"

Kitahara Hiroyuki had a thousand "alpaca" in his heart that he wanted to say to Sato.

But he still endured it and continued with a dry laugh: "Sato-kun is right. It seems that even if we have reconnaissance planes and bombers, we can't take it lightly."

At this point, Kitahara Hiroyuki no longer paid attention to Sato, but said to the communications officer: "Contact the reconnaissance plane and ask it to find the main force of the guerrillas and then report to us."

"Hi!"

The communications officer received the order, and soon a Japanese reconnaissance plane flew over the heads of Kitahara Hiroyuki and others.

This is a Japanese Type 97 headquarters reconnaissance aircraft.

The maximum flight speed can reach 500 km/h, the range exceeds 20000 km, and it has the ability to hover and conduct reconnaissance at high altitudes for a long time.

Its unique wing design gives the aircraft extremely high stability and maneuverability when performing reconnaissance missions. It can be said to be a masterpiece of the Japanese in the early days of World War II.

At least at that time, China did not have a fighter jet that could catch up with him.

At this time, the reconnaissance plane flew low over the Japanese army, and as the roar of the engine became louder and louder, its powerful airflow stirred up a cloud of dust. It streaked across the sky like lightning, deeply shocking every Japanese soldier present.

"Long live!"

A Japanese soldier couldn't help but cheer loudly, his voice full of excitement and pride.

When the other Japanese soldiers heard the shout of "Long live the dragon", they also cheered as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Kitahara Hiroyuki also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, because the morale of these imperial warriors had returned.

And then, it’s time for them to have a decisive battle with the enemy.

  Kitahara Hiroyuki felt emotional, under the iron wings of the empire, Ye Xuwen would probably be helpless, right?
