Bright sword: starting from the logistics department

Chapter 119 The Heavy Cannon Has Arrived
The position of the Second Independent Regiment on the mountain ridge:
Zhang Zhong saw that the little devil had no intention of continuing to attack after retreating, so he asked Sanlian to stand in for the soldiers of the second company, let the second company come down to rest for a while, and then came to the regiment headquarters!

Seeing Zhang Zhong walk in, Zhao Gan asked, "Why are you not here at the front line?"

"Captain, Erlian just repelled a wave of devils' attack!"

"I saw it, just tell me what are you doing here?"

"Captain, listen to me!"

"Okay, you continue."

"Captain, the Second Company has just repelled a wave of attacks by the little devils. I suspect that this wave of attacks is the last wave of attacks before the arrival of the little devils' heavy weapons!"

"why?"

"In this attack, the little devils didn't care about the casualties at all. They rushed up against the shells, but this kind of attack came only once, and then they stopped attacking. It feels like an anticlimax!"

"Well, it makes sense, keep talking!"

"I think they should have received some order, either waiting for the support of the plane, or the heavy artillery is coming soon!"

"Well, your guess is very accurate, the heavy artillery from the little devil's Taiyuan is almost here! As for the plane, I also wonder why the little devil didn't send a plane to support it in broad daylight!"

"Commander, if the little devil's heavy artillery comes, and they attack the position with the shells like this, my first battalion may not be able to hold the position!"

"If you can't keep it, you have to watch it for me. You have to give me at least two more days in the first battalion before you can come down to rest!"

"Yes, Captain, I understand!"

"Understood, don't go back to the front line!"

"Yes!"

After Zhang Zhong left, Zhao Gan rubbed his head, and then said to Liu Gang: "Gangzi, go and call Sun Fu, Zhu Qi, and Niudan!"

"Yes, Captain!"

A few minutes later, Liu Gang walked in with the three of them!

After the three came in, they said to Zhao Gan: "Head, you are looking for us!"

Zhao Gan nodded and said: "Sun Fu, Zhu Qi, you two pay attention to the forward positions. If the first battalion can't hold it, don't wait for my order, go to support immediately!"

"Yes, Captain, we know!"

"Well, go out when you know it, and be ready to support the front line at any time!"

"Yes!"

After the two walked out, Zhao Qian said to Gacha: "Niudan, you take the brothers from the guard company out secretly tonight!
Go to this location to find Yu Shan. I guess the heavy artillery brigade from Taiyuan will arrive today. Since Yu Shan has not moved for so long, he must be waiting for the little devil's heavy artillery brigade! "

"Yes, Captain!"

"Well, you should go and rest for a while, so that you can move at night!"

After Niudan left, Zhao Qian said to Liu Gang again: "Gangzi, you are going to call Li Niu over!"

"Yes, Captain!"

A few minutes later, Li Niu also came in. Zhao Gan saw it and said to him, "Li Niu, have you brought back the explosives and white phosphorus I asked you to send to the arsenal?"

"Leader, you brought them all back! A total of 30 kilograms of white phosphorus and 500 kilograms of explosives are all in place!"

"Very good, how many Molotov cocktails have you made?"

"Head, because our gasoline is limited, only more than 300 were made!"

Zhao Gan frowned when he heard that there were only more than 300 Molotov cocktails, and said to Li Niu: "I remember that our regiment has a lot of gasoline stored, why did we make more than 300?"

"Captain, we came here this time in ambush. All the soldiers are trying to bring as many weapons and ammunition as possible, so not a lot of gasoline is brought here!"

Zhao Gan nodded when he heard it and said, "Well, I got it! You have kept all the white phosphorus, explosives and incendiary bottles properly. Niudan will go to your place to get some tonight, and you can just give it to him!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Well, you go back!"

After Li Niu left, Zhao Gan went back to the table and sat down. He stood up immediately after sitting down, and said to Liu Gang: "Gangzi, go and call Li Niu, Sun Fu and Zhu Qizai back, hurry up!"

"Yes, Captain"

After Liu Gang finished speaking, he turned around and ran out of the headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment!
Li Niu, Sun Fu, and Zhu Qi who had just left walked into the headquarters again!
After entering, Zhao Gan didn't wait for them to speak, and immediately said: "You three immediately ask the soldiers of your two battalions to collect firewood, and at the same time, send someone to inform Commander Zheng, and ask the soldiers of the 771st Regiment to collect firewood immediately. The more you choose, the better!"

When the three of them heard that Zhao Gan asked them to collect firewood, the more the better, although they didn't know what it was for, they all immediately carried out Zhao Gan's order!

Head Zheng of the 771st Regiment also fell into doubts after receiving the news from Zhao Gan, what was the purpose of collecting firewood, but he also immediately ordered the soldiers of the 771st Regiment to collect firewood everywhere.

As soon as Head Zheng walked into the headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment, he asked, "Head Zhao, why are you asking people to collect so much firewood?"

Zhao Gan looked up and saw that it was Commander Zheng of the 771st Regiment, and immediately put down his work and said, "Commander Zheng, these firewood are for dealing with the little devil's plane!"

"Firewood? Against planes? Are you sure?"

Zhao Gan nodded and said, "Commander Zheng, what do you think the planes used to attack us?"

"Do you need to ask me? Of course it's bombs and machine guns!"

"Who asked you that, I mean how did they find us?"

"How do you find out? Use your eyes to find out! Use... eyes?"

"Yes, use your eyes! They can't see the situation on the ground very well in the air, they can only see the general situation! If we light fires everywhere in the position in advance, the thick smoke will cover the sky and make them unable to see the situation below!"

Head Zheng immediately became excited when he heard it, and said happily: "If they can't see clearly, the bombs won't be so accurate. The same goes for the machine guns. Whether they can hit us or not will be all luck!"

Zhao Gan nodded and said: "Also, planes fly by airflow. The more fires we light on the ground, the more disordered the airflow will be. If they fly low, with luck, some planes may crash!"

After hearing the crash, Commander Zheng said suspiciously: "Commander Zhao, is what you said is true?"

Zhao Gan nodded and said, "It's true! You also know that I went to college, where I majored in chemistry, and I also learned some physics!
Even if the little devil's plane didn't come for no reason like today, it can still be ignited when the little devil drops the gas bombs. These rising air currents will float the little devil's poison gas high into the sky, and then slowly dilute it! "

"Is this true?"

Zhao Gan nodded again and said: "It's true, but it takes time for the fire to dilute the gas bombs, and before that, the soldiers need to cover their mouths and noses with wet towels!"

"Yeah, I got it, thank you so much Captain Zhao, your information is enough to turn a battle into victory!"

Zhao Gan shook his head and said, "It's not that powerful, at most it can reduce some casualties!"

"That's a big deal, I won't stay here any longer, I'm afraid those brats in our regiment won't take firewood seriously, so I'll go and urge them!"

"Well, go slowly, Captain Zheng!"

Three hours later, the Murata Regiment of the garrison in Guizi Qi County successfully reunited with the Hamada Regiment and Kumagai Regiment.

As soon as Murata Wuyue arrived here, he called Hamada Eihito and Iwatani Keiji over, and asked them, "How much do you know about the eight roads on the mountain?"

After Hamada Eihito and Iwatani Keiji glanced at each other, Iwatani Keiji took the lead and said: "I arrived here first, let me say first, the eight roads on the mountain should be two groups, because their fighting styles are not similar, and the eight roads on the south mountain ridge are like lunatics, and they are all desperate. When they are fighting bayonets, they will pull the grenades on their bodies as soon as they are injured, and some even blow the explosives. They are a group of desperate lunatics;
On the eight roads on the north mountain ridge, they paid more attention to cooperation. Their cooperation was very good, and they had a solid foundation in marksmanship and bayonet fighting! "

When Murata Wuyue heard it, she nodded and said to Hamada Eihito, "Is there any news from you?"

Hamada Eihito heard that Murata Wuyue asked him, and he also said: "I don't know the specific information, although the fighting styles of the Eight Routes on both sides of the mountain pass are different, but it is also difficult to fight!
Their position is very strong. My mountain artillery brigade and Iwatani-kun's mountain artillery squadron did not cause even the slightest damage to their position!
In the absence of heavy weapons, the casualties of trying to storm will be huge! "

After hearing the information from the two of them, Murata Wuyue frowned, thought for a while and said, "That is to say, until now, you don't even know which part of the Eighth Route Army is on the opposite side!"

Keiji Iwatani said to Murata Wuyue: "Murata-kun, there is nothing we can do about it. We haven't caught a single prisoner until now. They seem to have appeared here suddenly. It is impossible to find out where they came from!"

Hamada Ruiren also said: "Murata-kun, the entire Jin Province is now at war, and it is impossible to judge which troops they are based on their garrisons!
Because there are only a small number of garrison troops left in the so-called base of the Eighth Route Army, and the rest have all come to Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Railway! "

Murata Wuyue also understood their difficulties, nodded and said: "Because the heavy artillery needs to be unloaded from the train, it will take about 5 hours to arrive here. We will not attack today. After the heavy artillery arrives, immediately build an artillery position and launch an attack at dawn tomorrow!"

"Hi!"

"Hi!"

Afterwards, the two walked out of Murata Wuyue's headquarters and walked towards their alliance!
After walking for a while, Eihito Hamada said: "Iwatani-kun, I thought he would have a good idea. It turned out that he relied on heavy artillery. I think he called the two of us this time to give us a boost!"

Keiji Iwatani said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter whether you are powerful or not. When attacking, he must be equal. If he wants my Kumagai United to be cannon fodder, don't blame me for not obeying his orders!"

After hearing Keiji Iwatani's words, Eito Hamada's expression changed instantly and he said, "Mr. Iwatani, be careful!"

Keiji Iwatani said with the same indifferent attitude: "Why, if he asked you to be cannon fodder for the Hamada United, you wouldn't resist? You son of a bitch!"

After Keiji Iwatani finished speaking, without waiting for Hamada Eihito to reply, he quickened his pace and walked towards his alliance!
Hamada Eihito who was behind stopped, thinking carefully about what Keiji Iwatani said just now, what would he do if Murata Wuzuki really used up his Hamada United as a cannon fodder?
Should we resign ourselves to fate, or resist with Keiji Iwatani?
After thinking for a while, Hamada Eihito did not make a decision. He laughed at himself and said, "I will attack tomorrow, go back and think about it slowly!"

The devils at the bottom of the mountain were not attacking. The 771st Regiment and the Second Independent Regiment on the mountain ridge, except for the soldiers stationed in the position, all ran to collect firewood. After several hours of collecting, they collected several piles of firewood!

The soldiers didn't know why the two regiment leaders asked to collect so much firewood. There were already so many, and it was still not enough, so keep collecting!
Yamashita's Harassment Force here:
A soldier of the assault platoon came to Yu Shan's side and said: "Platoon leader, an artillery unit is coming from the direction of Yuci. The caliber of the artillery is too large, and the distance is too far to see clearly. It seems to be one of the 105 howitzer brigades of the two heavy artillery brigades in Taiyuan!"

When Yu Shan heard that the little devil's heavy artillery was coming, he immediately regained his energy and said to the soldier, "Are you sure it's the heavy artillery that's coming?"

The assault platoon soldier nodded and said: "I'm sure the platoon leader, it's definitely a heavy artillery! But I didn't see clearly whether it was a 150 cannon or a 105 howitzer!"

Yu Shan said excitedly: "Heavy artillery is fine. We don't care about what type. Looking at the weather, I guess they don't have time to attack today, so let's make their heavy artillery unable to attack forever!"

After hearing Yu Shan's words, the soldier of the assault platoon said excitedly: "Platoon leader, shall we act tonight?"

Yu Shan nodded and said, "Well, let's finish off the heavy artillery unit of the little devils tonight, and let them continue to play games with small mountain cannons tomorrow!"

"Hey, it's finally time to act, platoon leader, then I'll go find out where the little devil's heavy artillery positions are going to be built, and their defense situation!"

"Well, let's go!"

It was night soon, and Niudan came to the commander of the Second Independent Regiment to find Zhao Gan and said, "Regimental Commander, the guard company is ready and ready to go!"

Zhao Gan nodded and said: "Well, let's go. Before leaving, go to Sanying to find Li Niu to get a few kilograms of white phosphorus and a few Molotov cocktails, and bring a few more explosive bags!"

Li Niu gave Zhao Gan a military salute and said, "Yes, regiment commander, I understand!"

Then Li Niu walked out of the headquarters of the Second Independent Regiment, and brought soldiers from the guard company to the Third Battalion to find Li Niu.

After seeing Li Niu, Niu Dan said: "Li Niu, the leader asked me to come to your place to get something!"

Li Niu nodded and said: "The leader told me, but you have to write me a note!"

"no problem!"
