Chapter 414 Tempting the Force (19)

The only drawback is that while the PLA officers and soldiers stationed on Shentouling were happy, they saw the gathered Japanese infantrymen calmly fleeing beyond the range of their own artillery shells.

"Haha, when the heavy machine gun was powered just now, it was so powerful that the little Japanese could not escape even if they had four legs. Why didn't the cannon continue to be bombarded? What a great opportunity?"

"Brother, you said, so many Japanese devils gathered together just now, why didn't our cannons hit them directly?"

"It's such a pity for his grandma. Why are the artillery brothers ruthless at critical moments?"

After the cheers, many PLA officers and soldiers were discussing and felt a little regretful that the artillery troops would not continue to show their power.

However, officers below the battalion commander level did not know why such unpleasant things happened. Therefore, the officers and soldiers who could not get the answer could only return to their respective posts with this small regret.

Next to the heavy machine gun position on the mountain ridge on the left side of Shentouling, Song Shan, the company commander of the 2nd Battalion 3, asked He Dongxing, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion: "Battery Commander, why did the artillery troops not shell the infantry of the Japanese after they finished shooting the artillery troops of the Japanese?"

He Dongxing smiled and said, "You boy, you killed the cannon that poses the greatest threat to us. Are you not satisfied with it? Haha, if the artillery troops crippled the Japanese infantry, you will be yelling that your company has no war to fight."

"Hehe, what the battalion commander said is really right." Song Shan nodded in agreement.

After a meal, he saw He Dongxing sitting on the ground and eating dry food, Song Shan approached and asked carefully, "Battery Commander, is our artillery unit short of shells?"

"It's so scarce," He Dongxing answered casually, and came to his senses in a flash. He pretended not to hear Song Shan's question clearly, and said to Song Shan: "Song Shan, I didn't hear clearly what you said just now."

"Hehe Battalion Commander, I forgot what I said." Song Shan spread his hands and said with a smile.

He Dongxing stepped forward and grabbed Song Shan's collar, and whispered: "Company Commander Song, this is a military secret. Don't talk nonsense to outsiders. If it is spread, we will be in great trouble."

"Cough cough cough" Song Shan suddenly had his throat tightened, and he coughed repeatedly, begging intermittently: "Battery Commander, please let go first, let go of your hand."

He Dongxing smiled and let go of Song Shan.

Song Shan said in a deep voice: "Battery Commander, don't worry, how dare I talk nonsense about such things?" After a pause, he said: "Battery Commander, I heard that there are many arsenals built at the headquarters, so why don't you build more shells?"

"Oh," He Dongxing sighed with a wry smile: "Brother, the new Lanfang Republic has been established for a few years. We have a weak foundation. I heard from the division commander that most of those arsenals are small arsenals that make grenades and repair guns, and fewer cannons and shells are made.

All our shells were transported from Qingyuanzhuang headquarters. Most of the shells at Qingyuanzhuang headquarters were from the United States, and the price was very expensive. From this we can see how precious our shells are and should not be abused."

Song Shan nodded and said, "Battery Commander, I understand. Our shells are hard-won and must be used at the most critical moment. Just like before, the Japanese cannons posed a huge threat to our position, and we suddenly showed our power to deal with it."

"You've analyzed it right"

He Dongxing patted Song Shan on the shoulder, sat down and said relaxedly: "The little Japanese suffered such a heavy blow and became increasingly confused about the reality of our army. I think at least they will not launch a large-scale attack within today."

"Yeah," Song Shan sat down, took out a pair of chess, and said enthusiastically: "Battery Commander, let's play chess while you're free now."

"You kid, I'll be looking for abuse again," He Dongxing said with a smile.
