I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 339 Attacking Difficultly
"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The roaring artillery sounded the horn of attack. On the hillside to the west of Guanjianao, the troops of the 386th Brigade, with the 772nd Regiment as the main attack, rushed towards Guanjianao.The soldiers were in groups of three, keeping a certain distance between each of them, trying to avoid being hit by devil soldiers as much as possible.

The devils defending the Okazaki Brigade kept firing. Facing the attacking soldiers, they could only burst out hidden firepower points. Except for the light machine guns, which can be quickly moved, the rest of the firepower points that are difficult to move like the heavy machine gun positions are all No fire was fired.

For the time being, we only choose to use firepower such as light machine guns in order to be able to transfer in time when responding to the artillery attack of the Eighth Route Army. Only in this way can we reduce losses as much as possible.

"Mr. Matsushita, put all the supplies we got into the hands of the soldiers, and hope that we can survive the attack of these Tuba roads for a long enough time."

"In addition, look for a suitable opportunity to use red and yellow bombs. Even if these offensive methods cannot be resolved, it can delay a little longer. At the same time, we will apply to the headquarters again for air force support in five hours, and we will be able to do so by then." There is a moment of respite,"

Kencho Okazaki put down the command knife in his hand. There was a lot of dust on his face. Under the shelling of the artillery of the Eighth Route Army, he, the captain, was not safe enough.A cannonball landed not far from Okazaki Kencho before, and the ghost soldiers around him reacted fast enough to protect him with their bodies in time, otherwise Okazaki Kencho might have died long ago.

"Captain Okazaki, in the battle last night, more than 50 of our soldiers were unfortunately killed by His Majesty the Emperor! More than a hundred soldiers were injured, but most of them were minor injuries, which had little effect on the ensuing battle. According to such soldiers The speed of casualties, we may not be able to last for too long." Hideo Matsushita did not have too much confidence, as long as the Eighth Route Army's offensive strength does not decrease, their casualties will inevitably be greater.

The constant casualties of soldiers meant that supplies were meaninglessly consumed and the combat effectiveness of the Okazaki Brigade declined.

"Reduce the diet of those seriously injured soldiers, and save supplies as much as possible." Okazaki Kencho looked at the positions of the seriously injured soldiers and said in a cold voice.Kencho Okazaki knew very well that even if he received airdrops from the aviation force, these supplies would be distributed evenly to everyone, and the weight would not be that much.

A look of shock flashed across Hideo Matsushita's face, and he looked at Kencho Okazaki in disbelief, but he didn't expect Kencho Okazaki, the captain, to choose to do this.Even though Hideo Matsushita knew clearly that the seriously injured soldiers would no longer have the slightest combat effectiveness and would only continue to waste supplies, but choosing to reduce the supply of supplies to them undoubtedly wanted to let these seriously injured soldiers die!If you really choose to do this, what will the other soldiers think?But Hideo Matsushita also knew that Kenaga Okazaki's decision was correct, and if he wanted to persevere, he must save supplies.

"Yes! I'll give orders right away!" Hideo Matsushita said.

In order not to affect the fighting spirit of other soldiers, Hideo Matsushita ordered the soldiers to quietly reduce the supply of seriously injured soldiers. Most of the devils in the Okazaki brigade were on the front line to defend the attack of the Eighth Route Army troops!In this way, even if Hideo Matsushita reduced the supply of seriously wounded soldiers, no one would find out easily.

On Guanjianao, the 772 regiment is constantly launching an assault. In order to kill the devils on Guanjianao early, Tuan Zhang Cheng divided the 772 regiment into five parts to ensure the uninterrupted attack of the Okazaki brigade. The combat mission of the 386th Brigade was to go up from the west slope of Guanjianao. Due to the special terrain of Guanjianao, the 772 regiment launched an attack on the west slope, and it was impossible to concentrate too many troops at one time.

The west slope is so big that only about 50 people can charge at a time. Of course, if there is no gap between the soldiers, then the entire 772 regiment will definitely be able to charge together!
Leader Cheng is not a fool. Having experienced so many battles, being able to develop the 772 regiment into the main force of the 386 brigade is enough to demonstrate the ability of leader Cheng.If all the troops of the 772nd Regiment were to concentrate and charge towards the top of Guanjianao, they would undoubtedly be joking with the lives of the soldiers!

Even if he wanted to kill these devils in a short time, Captain Cheng was trying to reduce the casualties of the soldiers of the 772 regiment as much as possible. Most of the soldiers he sent to attack Guanjianao were veterans who had experienced many battles.As for the newly recruited recruits, Captain Cheng would not choose to let them go to the battlefield at all. With the combat power of the Okazaki brigade, sending recruits to the battlefield would be a joke with their lives.

"Regimental Commander! I'm afraid we won't be able to go up! The devil's firepower is too fierce, and the soldiers' attacks have been defeated again and again!" Deputy Commander Zhang of the 772 regiment said solemnly.

Deputy head Zhang could see that after the frontline soldiers attacked, there would always be a lot of casualties. With each attack, not only the soldiers became tired, but the number of casualties also increased a lot.With the state of the soldiers, even if they continue to attack, it is impossible to kill the Okazaki brigade occupying Guanjianao.The troops attacking in other directions have not achieved as good results as the 772 regiment.
"I know! But I'm just not reconciled! We didn't bring any heavy weapons from our regiment, otherwise, how could the devils have easily defended them! Where are the soldiers from our regiment sent by the artillery team? Why don't you see them firing?" Captain Cheng said a little He hammered the ground unwillingly, as if he couldn't feel the slightest pain.

Looking at the devil's firepower point that kept firing on the top of Guanjianao, with the help of artillery soldiers before, the devil's firepower point did not dare to be too effective.But as the soldiers of the artillery team did not fire for a while, the devil's firepower became arrogant, and they didn't even move, which made the attacking soldiers unable to hold their heads up.

"Regimental Commander, we didn't bring many shells. No matter how powerful the soldiers of the artillery team are, isn't there nothing they can do without shells? Not only are our regiment's shells not enough, but the other troops' shells are also not enough." Deputy Commander Zhang looked helpless. Said.

The devils dared to be so arrogant because there was no artillery shells in the Eighth Route Army troops. Otherwise, with the accuracy of the artillery soldiers' shelling, they would not dare to be so arrogant at all!

"Damn it! What's going on here!" Captain Cheng looked bitter. With the suppression of artillery fire from the artillery team, the 772 regiment's attack could still yield some gains!But now without the help of the artillery team, the devils in the Okazaki Brigade are extremely arrogant, and their precise marksmanship has caused the 772 regiment to suffer a lot.

In the rear headquarters, the brigade commander put down the binoculars in his hand. Just now he saw the attack organized by the 772 regiment and was repulsed again. This made him understand that the 772 regiment had nothing to do!It is even more impossible to win Guanjianao with the 772 regiment!
