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

Just when the artillery of Wang Dazhu's command post used the captured Devil's 105mm howitzer to bombard several pools on the main peak of Matouling.

At this time, in Taiyuan City, in the command room of the Devil's First Army Headquarters.

"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat."

There was another familiar sound of hurried footsteps, coming from the communications office of the headquarters.

Neither Shinozuka Yoshinan nor the chief of staff, Major General Miyano Michiichi, knew who was walking out of the communication office without looking up.

Sure enough, Major Kitamura Junyi, the communication staff officer of the Devil's First Army Headquarters, hurried out of the headquarters' communications office with a freshly released urgent telegram, and quickly walked in front of the two old devils, Shinozuka Yoshinan and Miyano Michiichi.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, Chief of Staff, General Seishiro Itazono has sent an urgent call."

After Major Kitamura Junyi paused heavily and stood at attention, he immediately reported.

After speaking, he immediately handed the telegram in his hand to Shinozuka Yoshinan.

Shinozuka Yoshinan took the telegram with a solemn expression and read it. After all, judging by Kitamura Junyi's expression, this telegram from Itazon Seishiro must not be a good thing.

Sure enough, Shinozuka Yoshinan's face was gloomy after reading the telegram.

Seeing this, Major General Miyano Michiichi, the chief of staff standing opposite, immediately took the telegram from Shinozuka Yoshinan and read it.

After reading it, Miyano Doichi's expression was also solemn.

"Commander, the airdrop fleet composed of fifteen Type 40 land transport planes was shot down by the enemy's [-]mm anti-aircraft guns on the ground. All the materials on the transport plane were blown up and burned as the plane was shot down."

Miyano Michiichi said in a concentrated voice: "Itazon Seishiro asks for tactical guidance from the headquarters.".

"Meaning, I understand that Seishiro Itazono is actually requesting the headquarters, requesting the commander to mobilize the transport plane to drop supplies."

Shinozuka Yoshinan looked at the map and said with a gloomy face, "I never thought that the enemy had 40mm anti-aircraft guns."

"If the guess is correct, there is a high probability that it belongs to Xu Rui."

Miyano Michiichi nodded silently, it should be.

After all, in the previous battle briefing, I didn't know that the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment and other departments had so many 40mm anti-aircraft guns in their hands.

"Commander."

Miyano Michichi thought for a while, and said in a concentrated voice: "Itazon Seishiro called and reported that the ammunition in their hands can last up to about three o'clock in the morning tonight.".

"After three o'clock in the morning tomorrow, once the ammunition is exhausted, the enemy army may easily capture the main peak of Matou Ridge and wipe out the last 5000 imperial troops commanded by Banzon Seishiro."

"And now, the [-] reinforcements under the command of Akatsuka Taro are still on their way. The fastest, it will take a day and a half."

Speaking of this, Shinozuka Yoshinan certainly understood what Miyano Doichi meant.

Gritting his teeth, Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Miyano Michiichi: "How many transport planes can we still deploy?".

"When can I fly over the main peak of Matou Ridge for airdrop at the earliest?"

Miyano Michiichi looked at the map and said in a concentrated voice: "Ten transport planes can be mobilized at the fastest, and the fastest, I am afraid it will take around ten o'clock in the evening to fly over the main peak of Matouling for airdrop.".

"This is already the fastest speed. After all, it takes time to mobilize supplies and transport planes. Moreover, Commander, it is already 06:30 in the afternoon, and it will be dark in an hour. Before dark, we have no way to carry out the second airdrop operation over the main peak of Matou Ridge."

Shinozuka Yoshinan's expression was solemn, but this was a problem.

Based on the current situation, even if it is an airdrop at night, it must be carried out.

Otherwise, the enemy army will besiege the main peak of Matouling overnight.

At that time, there will be more than 5000 imperial soldiers under the command of Seishiro Itazono, and it will be impossible for the weapons in their hands to stop firing and counterattack.

Once fired, the ammo will be depleted faster.

Therefore, before reinforcements arrive, ammunition supply is now the top priority.

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshinan no longer struggled with anything, he couldn't sit on the Kanban and the last more than 5000 imperial troops commanded by Sono Seishiro were wiped out by the enemy, right?

If so, it would be a disgrace to Shinozuka's military career.

"It doesn't matter, Miyano-kun."

Shinozuka Yoshinan said to Miyano Michiichi: "Immediately issue an order to deploy ammunition supplies, mobilize the ten transport planes that can be mobilized the fastest, and fly to the sky above the main peak of Matou Ridge for airdrop operations before ten o'clock in the evening."

"Report this situation to Seishiro Itano and let him prepare for the nighttime airdrop."

Michi Miyano nodded and said, "Yes, Commander."

Afterwards, Michiichi Miyano walked aside, and on the one hand, he sent people to mobilize transport planes and deploy ammunition supplies.On the other hand, Major Kitamura Junyi, the communication staff officer of the command headquarters, immediately asked his communication soldiers to call back Seishiro Itazono, stand by and wait for help, and prepare for the reception of airdrop materials at night.

Shinozuka Yoshinan continued to look at the military map with a gloomy expression.

Shinozuka Yoshinan had never imagined that the battle had turned into what it is now.

In particular, even if Seishiro Itazono replaced Takeshita Taro, who was already broken, this time, he couldn't beat Xu Rui and other enemy commanders, which made Shinozuka Yoshinan feel suffocated.

"Xu Rui, Xu Rui, Li Yunlong from the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, you wait, I, Shinan Shinozuka, will not let you go."

Shinozuka Yoshinan cursed secretly in his heart.

And at this time, Yoshinan Shinozuka cursed for a moment.

Somewhere far away on the main peak of Matouling, on the artillery position built by the artillery battalion of Xu Rui's 303 regiment.

"Battalion Commander, the bombardment has been adjusted. The target is aimed at the Fairy Pond on the main peak of Matou Ridge and the seven large and small water pools. The howitzers have already aimed at them."

At this time, the artillery adjutant reported to Wang Dazhu, the commander of the artillery battalion.

"it is good!!!"

Wang Dazhu nodded, then raised the small triangular flag on his right hand, and then lowered it fiercely, "Attention all guns, fire."

"Tom tom tom, tom tom tom, tom tom tom!!!"

Following Wang Dazhu's order, on the artillery position of the Artillery Battalion of the 303rd Regiment, twelve 36mm howitzers seized from the Devil's 105th Division raised their heads upward and fired suddenly.

The cannonballs were fired one after another, and then roared and smashed towards seven large and small water pools including the Fairy Pool on the main peak of Matou Ridge.

At this time, on the main peak of Matou Ridge, by the side of the fairy pool, a small team of more than 50 devil soldiers was fetching water from the pool with an empty kettle.

At this time, the ear-piercing whistle of shells reached the ears of these ghost soldiers.

"Baga, it's bombardment, lie down quickly."

The leader of the ghost team was the first to recover, his face changed drastically and he shouted, he also immediately looked for a place to hide.

It's just that other ghost soldiers are drinking water while fetching water.

After regaining consciousness, in an instant, countless shells from the 105mm howitzer fell on the Fairy Pool and its various places, and exploded suddenly.

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

The shells of the 105mm howitzer are not weak. A round of curved shelling from the Artillery Battalion of the 303rd Regiment directly covered the Fairy Lake with artillery fire and the bombarded water column soared into the sky.

The rocks around the Fairy Pool were directly blown down, submerging the Fairy Pool which was less than a hundred square meters.

The large and small water pools on other mountains on the main peak of Matouling were subsequently hit by the howitzers of the artillery battalion of the 303rd regiment, and all of them were blown up.

This scene was clearly seen by Itazon Seishiro of the bunker headquarters on the main peak of Matou Ridge.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, the pool on the mountain is all over!"

Not long after, Major Tachibana Kazuo Tachibana, who was already regarded as Itazon Seishiro's actual wartime chief of staff, rushed into the bunker headquarters and reported to Itazon Seishiro miserably. (end of this chapter)
