Chapter 1553 It’s impossible without heavy artillery!
"Reporting to the regiment, the Japs stopped attacking for unknown reasons. Battalion Commander Sun is rebuilding the defenses."
Lao Snoring returned to the mountain to report to Dragon Boat Festival.
Duanwu thought for a while and said: "The Japs' plane was repulsed by us. Without air support, it will not be easy for them to attack the mountain. But they have heavy artillery. In terms of firepower, we still do not have the advantage.
In this way, you send someone to tell Lao Sun that there is no need to defend the position at the foot of the mountain. If the Japs attack fiercely, give up there.
There are many places that can be defended in Wanjialing, so there is no need for us to confront the Japs head-on at the foot of the mountain.
In this way, if our position retreats, the Japs' position will move forward, and his artillery will be exposed to our artillery fire.
In this deep mountain, it is not so easy to transport the Japs' heavy artillery.
I guess it would be great if the Japs could bring in 100mm cannons. Even they only have 75mm mountain cannons in their hands.
So as long as our position moves back, the Japanese artillery cannot escape.
In addition, you can add a few more anti-aircraft positions, and beware of being discovered by the little devils at the bottom of the mountain. They will bombard them with mountain cannons or cannons. And this is why I asked you to get a few more.
We have falsehoods among truths, truth among lies, falsehoods and solidities, which makes it impossible for the little devils to discover our air defense positions at once. And even if they are discovered, the casualties caused to us will be very small, do you understand?"
"It's a group meeting, I'll do it right away!"
Lao Shou accepted the order and immediately walked out of the command room.
The command room at this time was the Juyi Hall where Xia Shanhu used to be.
Danwu saw that this place was very spacious, so he used it as his temporary command room.
"The group seats, I've calculated them."
At this moment, Old Abacus hurriedly walked in from outside.
Previously, Dragon Boat Festival had asked him to count food, weapons and ammunition. But compared to weapons and ammunition, what Dragon Boat Festival wanted to know most was food and how long they could eat it.
The old abacus took out his account book and said: "Tuanzu, our food is very complicated now. There are cans and compressed biscuits seized from the devils, as well as corn, soybeans, and..."
Duanwu interrupted the old abacus and said: "You don't need to tell me about this composition. What I want to know is how long we can last with the food we have."
The old abacus said: "I bought some grain from the folks in Wanjialing, plus the grain stored by the bandits and the grain we brought, it can last about three months. It's just that there is a little less salt, so it's probably just
I can eat it for half a month.”
Duanwu said: "You can't do it without salt. If you don't eat salt for a long time, you will lose all your strength."
However, at this time, the old abacus thought for a while and said: "Tuanzu, I think those fellow villagers have salt in their homes."
Duanwu said: "My fellow villagers have salt, but they still want to eat it!"
The old abacus thought for a while and said: "I think the salt they eat is different from ours."
Duanwu nodded and said: "When the time comes, go and ask. If the fellow villagers have extra, then you can buy some back. Remember, if we want to give money to others, our supervision team will never take the people's things for free."
"Yes, group seat."
The old abacus responded, and then reported to Duanwuhui again: "Tuanzuo, in terms of weapons and ammunition, our consumption is too high. Many troops have begun to use Japanese rifle bullets instead of machine gun bullets. Now all the ministries
Ammunition is also starting to run out. It’s impossible to continue fighting like this!”
Duanwu also knows that the current combat effectiveness of the Supervisory Corps is not as good as before. Moreover, the consumption of ammunition has never decreased. In addition to submachine guns, the Japs' machine gun bullets have also become a large consumer.
The soldiers fought with great bravery, but what? The consumption of ammunition was a bit terrible.
Dragon Boat Festival even regretted a little at this time. He should have let them save some ammunition in the first place.
But now it's obviously too late, and saving ammunition is equivalent to sacrificing human lives.
This is not cost-effective, and Dragon Boat Festival would not do this.
Dragon Boat Festival just asked Lao Abacus to tell him to recover all the bullet casings after the battle.
In other words, if there is really no other way, Duanwu is ready to make his own bullets.
Of course, there is another way, which is to ask the Chairman to air-drop ammunition.
But there is little hope, because there are not many planes left in the mountain city. They can't even save the mountain city, so how can they send weapons to Dragon Boat Festival?
Moreover, planes could not even reach Pingyin County before, let alone now.
So Dragon Boat Festival had to prepare for the worst.
Duanwu asked Lao Abacus to transport all the existing weapons and ammunition of the supervision corps to a secret location to avoid being damaged by Japanese air strikes or shelling.
There is also food for the Supervisory Corps. Nowadays, these are treasures and are the capital for them to establish the Wanjialing base. As long as they gain a foothold in Wanjialing, life will not be easy for the little devils in the future.
In other words, during the Dragon Boat Festival, we will fight a protracted battle with Momotaro and Doihara at the foot of the mountain in Wanjialing. See who can rely on whom. And as long as Doihara and Momotaro withdraw, then Wanjialing can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. Moreover,
It shouldn’t be too easy to get weapons and equipment and food.
Because after leaving the mountains, there are many little Jaap strongholds. If Dragon Boat Festival wants to remove them, it will only take seconds?
At the same time, the little devils naturally knew this. Therefore, they were bound to win the battle at Wanjialing.
Momotaro and Doihara, while eating the military rations they brought, looked at the map of Wanjialing. This map was also given to Doihara by someone sent by Shimoyama Tiger before.
This tiger who went down from the mountain was obsessed with currying favor with the Japanese and wanted to be reused. But what happened in the end? He died miserably at the hands of the Japanese, so he suffered the consequences.
However, the evil he has done is not over yet, such as this map of Wanjialing.
Although the map is not complete, the general mountain topography of Wanjialing, as well as the fortifications, etc. are all shown on this map.
Momotaro looked at the map and said: "The terrain of Wanjialing is indeed very complicated. Even if we have this map, it will be very difficult to attack the mountain. Unless we have heavy artillery, and the kind that can attack more than ten kilometers
, or twenty kilometers of heavy artillery.”
Doihara said: "Momotaro-kun, you are right. If you want to capture Wanjialing, the best way is to have heavy artillery. However, the mountain roads are rugged. It is very difficult to transport such heavy artillery over 120 mm."
.Otherwise, I would have brought the heavy artillery in long ago.
Moreover, in the direction I came from, the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army has been eyeing us. It is a complete fantasy to bring heavy artillery in from this direction."
However, at this moment, Momotaro suddenly turned his eyes and said: "Doihara-dono, can you bring the heavy artillery in from the direction I came from? And we are not in a hurry. We can wait for less than half a month.
