"Captain Zhou, I don't agree with your order just now!" Major Panasonic decided to express his thoughts.

"No matter what battle you fight, there will be casualties and losses, and artillery is no exception. As you said just now, the artillery battalion must not only protect itself, but also cover the infantry to launch an attack. Then their subsequent operations will definitely be timid and unable to exert the entire combat power of the artillery battalion, which will affect the overall attack of the troops."

"In order to maintain the current offensive of the National Salvation Army, I promise you that we will not only supplement your army with ammunition and general weapons, but also add you mountain artillery and large-caliber mortars."

"As long as our people are sure that those artillery are really destroyed, there is no possibility of repairing it. We will add one loss!"

Zhou Cheng had lost so much before and deliberately took them to the artillery position, and he was waiting for this sentence.

Before he could finish his words, he asked back: "As such a big thing, are you sure you can keep your word?"

Major Panasonic immediately replied: "As long as the national rescue army urgently needs to maintain its immediate offensive and force the Unique Regiment to draw more troops from the front line to return to the aid base, your army will lose one artillery and we will add one!"

Zhou Cheng seemed not very relieved and continued to ask: "How do you calculate the six artillery that have been lost here?"

Major Panasonic knew that Zhou Cheng was testing himself. If the six artillery bombed in front of him could not be filled with the National Rescue Army, Zhou Cheng would definitely not believe his promise just now.

Just now, Major Panasonic went to see the six artillery guns. Some of them even had their barrels bent, and some of them were directly blown into scrap iron. Aside from the outsiders all know that they have no possibility of repair.

In this case, the Imperial Army will not increase their strength by adding six artillery artillery of the same caliber to the National Salvation Army.

Thinking of this, Major Panasonic made a decisive decision: "I will contact my superiors immediately and try to make up for the six artillery pieces lost by the National Rescue Army tonight!"

During the whole process, Tan Wei kept his head down, looking like he was educated and criticized.

Hearing Major Panasonic's promise, he immediately raised his head and stared at Major Panasonic with his eyes lit up.

The tragic scenes on the artillery positions were arranged by Tan Wei himself.

Except for the dozens of shell craters around the artillery positions that were real, he temporarily exploded the other shell craters with black gunpowder.

Although the National Salvation Army Arsenal can produce large quantities of strong explosives, there are all kinds of gunpowders, and the production of grenades and shells is not enough, let alone act for the Japanese.

Therefore, there are also two local workshops for manufacturing black gunpowder in the National Salvation Military Defense Zone. Whether it is useful or not, production has never stopped in case of emergency needs.

Before the National Salvation Army launched its attack, the two local workshops had produced almost 10,000 kilograms of black gunpowder, and Zhou Cheng brought 4,000 kilograms to perform for the Japanese.

If the Japanese could deceive the Japanese and exchange 4,000 kilograms of black gunpowder for 4,000 mountain artillery shells, the troops would make a fortune.

The use of black gunpowder to blow up a large number of shell craters in the artillery position made the Japanese feel that the artillery battalion had been hit by a lot of shells in the artillery battle just now.

Hide a few intact cannons and replace them with a few bad cannons that have no repair value from the defense zone. The Japanese felt that the artillery battalion had artillery destroyed in the artillery battle just now, and the artillery battalion suffered heavy losses...

All of this was Zhou Cheng asked Tan Wei to do this, intending to use the excuse of heavy losses in the artillery battalion to slow down the troops' subsequent offensive.

Unexpectedly, in order to allow the National Salvation Army to continue to attack the Unique Regiment, the Japanese were willing to replenish the artillery lost by the National Salvation Army.

For Tan Wei, Major Panasonic's words were definitely an unexpected surprise.

In the artillery battle just now, the artillery battalion did not lose a single artillery. If the Japanese sent six artillery to the artillery battalion in order to persuade the National Salvation Army to continue to attack the Unique Regiment, it means that the artillery battalion will directly get six artillery guns in this round of acting and form an artillery company.

This is the fat meat delivered to your mouth, it’s useless to eat it.

So, after hearing this, Tan Wei immediately looked at the commander and kept winking at him, hoping that he could agree to the Japanese's proposal.

Zhou Chengxin understood the gods. In order not to let Major Matsushita notice the change in Tan Wei's face, he glared at him fiercely, so that he could keep calm and not let the Japanese see the flaws. Then he pretended to be suspicious and continued: "As long as you keep your word and send the six cannons to us, tomorrow we will definitely attack the Unique Group with the most fierce offensive just like today."

Major Panasonic was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the third battalion commander Liu Shuihe appeared in his sight again.

While gasping, he ran towards Zhou Cheng: "Captain, you are so awesome!"

"Fortunately you stopped us and did not chase the retreating troops of the One Regiment, otherwise the pursuit troops would suffer a great loss!"

"Research Report: At least one battalion troops were lurking in a ravine less than two kilometers away from here. Seeing that we were not chasing their retreating troops, the ambush and the retreating troops retreated to their third blocking position together!"

After hearing this, Major Panasonic felt cold sweat as big as beans came out of his forehead.

When I looked at Zhou Cheng again, there was a clear look of shock and admiration in my eyes, and I said with emotion: "Captain Zhou, I finally know why you are so powerful in war!"

"No matter when, always take one step forward and look forward three steps, you can always think of danger ahead of us, and then plan and then act. It is difficult to not win the war in this way!"

Zhou Cheng didn't want to listen to the Japanese bragging about him here. He just wanted to get the weapons and ammunition that the Japanese promised to replenish the National Savior Army, otherwise today's play would be in vain.

According to the agreement, the Japanese will supplement the National Rescue Army at least six artillery pieces, 3,800 mountain artillery shells, 80,000 machine gun bullets, pensions for more than 50 people and a batch of medicines.

In order to ensure that these things are delivered to him in time, Zhou Cheng must let the Japanese see the importance of those weapons and ammunition.

There is one method that is most effective: let the Japanese see the difficulties faced by the National Salvation Army: without their supplementary weapons and ammunition, the troops could not continue to attack, and forced them to send weapons and ammunition to the National Salvation Army as soon as possible.

After a moment of thinking, we made a decision: "Since the ambush of the Unique regiment has been withdrawn, we can continue to attack and head straight to the third line of defense of the Unique regiment. If the ammunition supplies we urgently need can be sent over in time, we might be able to take down the third line of defense before dark."

"Of course, if the ammunition supply fails to move in time, we will have to be blocked in the third line of defense by a single ball!"

"The only regiment is equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, even mountain field guns and infantry guns are equipped with several, plus a well-established blocking position. If we cannot suppress the artillery and force the attack during the attack, the troops will definitely pay a huge price!"

"I won't do such a stupid thing, so our top priority now is to reach the third blocking position of the only regiment."

Major Panasonic is not a fool. As soon as he heard this, he knew that Zhou Cheng used his offense to force himself to get ammunition quickly.

I was very unhappy, but who made the Imperial Army need the National Rescue Army to contribute? I could only force myself to suppress my inner dissatisfaction and answered: "I will send a telegram to the superiors now, urging them to ask for weapons and ammunition, and report the six artillery matters to the superiors, and ask them to send the artillery needed by the army overnight!"

Zhou Cheng said, "It is best to send more ammunition to avoid exhausting all the ammunition in two attacks. The troops will stop attacking because of lack of ammunition supplies. This will not only waste time, but also send a large amount of emergency repairs to the Unique Regiment!"

Major Panasonic agreed with this proposal: "Captain Zhou, you are right, I will report this idea to the superiors together!"

The third blocking position of the Unique Regiment was very happy to see the National Savior Army that rushed over.

Until now, this battle has almost all followed the script agreed by both parties, without any accidents.

Although two of the twenty veterans who stayed behind the second blocking position were injured by the bomb, the price was still very cost-effective compared to hundreds of mountain artillery shells.

According to the script, today's attack ends here. The National Salvation Army will stop the attack using the excuse of shooting shells and camping in front of the third line of defense.

Three battalion commanders stood beside each, and the expressions on each face were very complicated.

Because they don't know the real plan between the regiment commander and the National Salvation Army, they always feel that the battles today were very frustrating and strange.

Especially the battalion commander of the first battalion, his two companies were still captured by the National Rescue Army.

Although the leader told him that this was just an act and that two companies would come back after dark, his heart was hanging in his throat before he saw the two companies.

The battalion commander of the second battalion was also very strange. The troops worked hard to dig out a line of defense, but only twenty veterans were left to defend, and they could not shoot at the attacking troops of the National Savior Army...

What he didn't understand the most was that the regiment commander also asked them to bury more than 200 explosive packs on the defense line, and then the artillery fire of the National Salvation Army weakened and detonated the explosive packs, giving people the illusion that the National Salvation Army artillery battalion was still shooting the defense line with all its might.

The artillery battalion commander was very frustrated. In the battle just now, they used up forty precious shells.

If these shells were used to hit the cannon tower, all ten could be blown into ruins.

The always stingy regiment commander actually asked the artillery battalion to hit the open space next to the artillery position of the National Salvation Army.

The artillery battalion commander has been an artillery soldier for five or six years, and has never accepted such a task.

When the mountain cannon fires, he will feel heartbroken every time he shoots a shell.

Because the artillery battalion had only more than 300 shells, nearly one-tenth of the reserve was used, and a Japanese and puppet army had not yet been eliminated...

Several people guessed that the regiment commander would act with the National Salvation Army, but they didn't know what the purpose of the regiment commander did this and what benefits could it bring to the Unique Group.

Seeing the regiment commander staring at Yikiki and laughing suddenly, he suddenly thought of the thirty shells of the artillery battalion commander couldn't help it: "Regiment Commander, what is the purpose of our doing this!"

"We only have 30 shells left after we lost the thirty shells fired in the afternoon. We will definitely not waste shells like this again!"

After taking a look at the expressions of several subordinates, the commander felt that it was time to tell them the truth, otherwise he would definitely not be in the mood to return to the railway line tonight.

First, I looked at the battalion commander of the artillery battalion and explained: "Who told you that the shelling this afternoon was a waste of shells. Although we fired thirty shells, they could exchange us for at least one hundred and fifty mountain artillery shells."

"There is another battalion. Your operations in Gangtou Village can be exchanged for at least 500 mountain artillery shells, and the operations in the second battalion just now can also exchanged for at least 300 artillery shells. Maybe it can be exchanged for a lot of weapons and ammunition."
