Liang Jian: Peaceful battle, I will bring a group to help the scene

"Nani? Is there a problem with the water source?"

Hearing this, Seishiro Itazono's complexion changed drastically.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Major Tachibana Kazuo nodded, and said helplessly: "When we returned from Mingjia Town to the south, we didn't bring much water with us. At that time, we thought we could quickly break through the enemy's attack on the mountain where Xiangji Temple and Wangyou Pavilion are located, and return to Zhenting City."

"Water source is not a big problem at all."

"It's just that I didn't expect to be trapped on the main peak of Matou Ridge now."

After a pause, Major Kazuo Tachibana continued: "Now, until now, the water source carried with the army has almost been consumed.".

"If within 48 hours, the remaining soldiers of the imperial army do not receive timely replenishment of water sources, their combat effectiveness will basically begin to lose their combat effectiveness. After 72 hours, our soldiers will most likely not wait for the enemy soldiers to attack, and will be unable to continue fighting due to lack of water."

Hearing the end, Seishiro Itazono certainly understood what Major Kazuo Tachibana meant.

If people are thirsty and empty, then there will be a big problem.

"How long can the dry food we carry with the army last?"

Itabazon Seishiro asked with a frown.

"Dry food can last for two or three days without any problem, Your Excellency the General."

Kazuo Tachibana said bitterly: "But most of the dry food is very dry.".

"If you swallow it like this, the soldiers will have no water, and there will definitely be bigger problems, Your Excellency the General."

Of course, Seishiro Banzono understood, gritted his teeth, and ordered Major Commander Kazuo Tachibana: "There are trees on the main peak of Matou Ridge, and there must be a source of water. Send troops to look for it immediately."

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Kazuo Tachibana also came back to his senses, and quickly paused.

"In addition, you send a report to the headquarters, informing the airdrop fleet that it has been shot down by the enemy's 40mm anti-aircraft guns on the ground, and request tactical guidance from the headquarters."

Itabazon Seishiro continued with a solemn expression, "In addition, order the soldiers of the imperial army to strictly guard their positions and stand by for help."

"Let the warriors of the imperial army save ammunition. If the enemy does not attack, stop all firepower to counterattack."

Hearing this, Kazuo Tachibana paused heavily and replied: "Yes, Your Excellency General.".

"Go!"

Itazon Seishiro waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the General."

Tachibana Kazuo stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.

Itabazon Seishiro turned around, walked to the observation port of the bunker, picked up the binoculars and looked outside.

I saw the Devils transport planes that were shot down, and several of them fell to a place less than 80 meters below his bunker headquarters and exploded, igniting raging fire on the ground.

From time to time, there were explosions.

"Damn Xu Rui, you are so ruthless that you even have anti-aircraft guns."

Itabazon Seishiro gritted his teeth secretly.

At this time, Xu Rui and the others, who were cursed by Itazon Seishiro, had already seen the scene of all the downed devil transport planes burning on the ground.

At this time, the time was only 26:[-] in the afternoon.

"Regiment, there are still 4 minutes. The new regiment and other departments of the friendly army will start to besiege the main peak of Matouling together with the first battalion and other departments of our regiment."

Luo Youdu pointed to the main peak of Matouling and said to Xu Rui.

"Um!!!"

Xu Rui nodded and said: "Next, the siege of the main peak of Matouling must be continuous."

"I expected that the ammunition in the hands of more than 5000 devils on the main peak of Matou Ridge would not be able to last for half a day. From now on, we must continue to besiege the main peak of Matou Ridge together with all the friendly troops, and continue to force Seishiro Itano to fight back, consuming their small ammunition reserves."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "That's right."

"Squad, Chief of Staff."

At this moment, Gu Jiaping, the communication staff officer of the 303rd regiment, rushed to the two of them, stood at attention and saluted, and reported: "Itazon Seishiro's headquarters has sent out a radio. This is the latest enemy telegram deciphered after intercepting the radio sent by the devil.".

"Here, Chief of Staff, you can take a look too."

After Xu Rui read the deciphered telegram handed over by Gu Jiaping, he immediately handed the telegram to Luo Youdu, and said, "Itazon Seishiro sent a telegram to Shinozuka Yoshinan asking for tactical guidance."

"I guess, it should be requesting Shinozuka Yoshinan to transfer the transport plane to drop ammunition supplies to him."

After reading the telegram, Luo Youdu said: "Tanza, can't it be that Seishiro Itazono can't see that the anti-aircraft artillery fire we fired was a 40mm caliber anti-aircraft gun?".

"Based on Seishiro Itazono's military experience, this old devil should be able to see that our anti-aircraft guns have a caliber of 40 mm. It is not a problem for a 40 mm anti-aircraft gun to hit 7000 meters."

After a short pause, he picked up a military camp kettle from the table in front of him and took a sip of water. After moistening his throat, Luo Youdu continued to analyze: "In this case, even if the devils have a second batch of transport planes coming to airdrop, they are threatened by our ground anti-aircraft artillery and fly to an altitude of 7000 meters for airdrop.

"Itazon Seishiro and Shinozuka Yoshinan should be aware of it."

Xu Rui nodded, fully agreeing with Luo Youdu's analysis.

Afterwards, Xu Rui said: "After Shinozuka Yoshimi received an urgent telegram from Itazon Seishiro requesting tactical guidance, he should have mobilized transport planes again to air-drop ammunition supplies to the more than [-] devils surrounded by us on the main peak of Matou Ridge."

"After all, judging from the deciphered devil's radio content, the ammunition of more than 5000 devils has lasted for less than ten hours. And the 5000 devil reinforcements commanded by Akatsuka Taro will take a day and a half at the fastest to kill Zhenting City. And more than [-] devil remnants were surrounded by us on the main peak of Matouling. Under the continuous attack, the ammunition command consumed faster."

After a pause, Xu Rui continued, "Yinan Shinozuka, it's impossible not to think about this level by then."

"So, in the end, Shinozuka Yoshinan could only pinch his nose and mobilize transport planes to airdrop supplies to Itazon Seishiro. Otherwise, wouldn't it be impossible to fight back after watching Itazon Seishiro run out of ammunition and being killed by us?"

Luo Youdu heard it, and thought it was right!
"The group, you must let that boy Wang Dazhu keep ready for anti-aircraft shooting tonight."

Luo Youdu said in a concentrated voice: "It's not impossible for the little devil to airdrop at night.".

"Um!!!"

Xu Rui nodded, and then said to a staff officer at the side: "Call Wang Dazhu and let him pay attention to this situation."

"Yes, group seat."

A staff officer who was called by Xu Rui nodded and stood at attention, then turned and walked down, returned to the command post under the hillside, and called Wang Dazhu, the commander of the artillery battalion, to pay attention to the possible airdrop by the devil at night.

Xu Rui then continued to say to Chief of Staff Luo Youdu: "Next, on time at 06:30, we will continue to besiege the main peak of Matouling with all the units of the new regiment of the friendly army.".

"Moreover, there are constant feints, trying to consume as much ammunition as possible in the hands of the devils on the main peak of Matou Ridge."

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "What the Tuan Zuo said is true."

"Gu Jiaping..."

When Xu Rui was about to tell Gu Jiaping something, he was interrupted by a staff officer.

"Tuan Zuo, look, the little devil seems to be in a hurry to fetch water."

At this moment, the staff officer who interrupted Xu Rui pointed to a pool in a depression between the two small hills on the main peak of Matou Ridge, and said in surprise.

"what?"

Hearing this, Xu Rui immediately picked up the binoculars and began to observe.

In the sight of the binoculars, a small group of devils, each devil soldier holding military water bottles, was rushing to fetch water from a pool in the valley between the two small hills on the main peak of Matouling.

"The little devil is in a hurry to fetch water. Is there no water?"

Xu Rui immediately realized something and said.

"Tuan Zuo, from the map, there are several water pools on the main peak of Matou Ridge. The one we observed is marked on the map as Fairy Pool!"

Luo Youdu immediately asked someone to bring a military map and unfold it, then pointed to the name of the water pool on the map, and said in a concentrated voice. (end of this chapter)
