The Chief of Staff of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan walked in with a smile, holding a telegram in his hand, and you could tell that he had brought good news by looking at his expression.

As expected, before the commander could speak, he reported excitedly: "Sir, good news! The National Salvation Army has penetrated nearly thirty kilometers into the hinterland of the base of the Unique Regiment, and is about to reach their command center!"

"Master Panasonic reported: During the day today, the National Salvation Army used us to supplement their shells to attack fiercely, breaking through the four defense lines of a single regiment in succession, defeating and severely damaging the Eighth Route Army of at least two battalions!"

"Information shows that in order to be able to defend the command center, the only regiment has brought all the troops they can mobilize in their base areas to the battlefield, and wanted to block the offensive of the National Salvation Army."

"But the effect is very poor. The National Salvation Army relies on its own large number of artillery and bombards the blocking positions with cannons, which makes the only regiment collapse."

"In the end, the Unique Regiment could only continue to give up its positions and mobilize the people to establish new defense lines behind them, trying to slow down the attack speed of the National Saving Army using layers of blocking methods!"

"Good fight!"

When the commander heard the report, his eyes were staring at the sand table. Seeing that the flag representing the National Salvation Army had been inserted into the hinterland of the unique regiment base, less than ten kilometers away from their command center, he couldn't help but applaud!

Then he ordered the Chief of Staff: "Send a telegram to Major Panasonic and ask him to urge the National Rescue Army to continue the attack."

"Now there are three or four hours before dark. As long as their assault speed is as fast as in the morning, they will definitely be able to take down the command of the Unique Regiment before dark!"

The Chief of Staff shook his head and looked at the commander with a embarrassed look on his face and replied: "I guess I can't attack today!"

"The shells we added to the National Salvation Army yesterday have been exhausted, and there is no artillery fire cover. Zhou Cheng said nothing and refused to continue attacking forward!"

"So fast!" the commander shouted in dismay.

He stared at the chief of staff and asked with disbelief: "I remember yesterday the military headquarters added five or six thousand shells to the National Salvation Army at one time. Why did it run out in less than a day? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"The National Salvation Army did not actually use so many shells, but instead used this method to get shells from us and save them on their own!"

The Chief of Staff shook his head and explained: "At the beginning, Huye also had this concern, and he also sent a telegram to remind Major Panasonic."

"But Grandpa Panasonic reported that the battle of the National Salvation Army attacking the Unique Regiment was all about artillery fire. When encountering the Unique Regiment blocking position, no matter how many troops were stationed inside, let the artillery battalion fight for ten minutes first, and then the infantry assault."

"If there are still a large number of Eighth Route Army troops in the blocking position, the artillery battalion will fight for another ten minutes until the only blocking force is blown up by them!"

"When we attacked, our people stayed on the battlefield and saw clearly that the national rescue army had no chance to build a cost!"

"According to their estimates, the National Salvation Army consumed an average of 1,500 shells through a single defence line."

"Although the consumption is a bit large, it is not unbearable for us. Moreover, in addition to doing so, it can not only damage the unique regiment and force them to draw more troops back to the aid base, but also weaken the strength of the National Salvation Army to a certain extent!"

"Master Panasonic also reported one thing: the longer he stayed in the National Rescue Army, the more shocked he was in his heart, the more powerful the National Rescue Army was. Especially their artillery battalion, the overall combat power was far greater than that of our two artillery brigades."

"Even if we reorganize the National Salvation Army into the Imperial Army in the future and incorporate them, we will not be relieved that they have such a powerful artillery unit."

"And this battle in front of you is the best opportunity to consume a lot of their artillery strength!"

"The artillery has a lifespan. After firing hundreds of shells in succession, even if the body of the gun is still intact, the rifle in the barrel has been smoothed."

"Without rifle, no matter how good the artillery is, it is a pile of scrap iron and cannot be used."

"The artillery equipped by the National Salvation Army was captured by the Imperial Army, and only 60% to 70% of the new ones were obtained."

"In addition to the shells they have fired themselves, each gun will probably be scrapped if it fires three or four hundred shells."

"For high-intensity artillery bombardment like these in the past two days, the loss of the barrel will be greater. Maybe each gun will be scrapped if it fires another 200 shells."

"The attack has lasted for two days since yesterday. Even if there are not ten thousand shells fired by the National Salvation Army Artillery Battalion, there must be eight or nine thousand. I guess many artillery has reached the critical point of scrapping."

"If we continue to add a large amount of artillery shells to the National Savior Army and let them concentrate artillery fire to attack the Universe, we can not only take advantage of the victory and quickly seize the Universe's headquarters, and severely damage the Universe, but also take the opportunity to consume all the mountain artillery equipped by the National Savior Army, killing two birds with one stone!"

The worried expression on the commander's face instantly disappeared. As soon as he was about to give an order, he saw the intelligence officer running towards him hurriedly.

Before he stood firm, he reported with an excited look on his face: "Sir, I just received good news!"

"The Unique Regiment has drawn two main battalions from the railway to return to the base area. In order to increase the troops along the railway, they have drawn five or six hundred local troops and guerrillas from the base area to reinforce them."

"I think the Okamoto United can launch a counterattack against the remaining troops of the only regiment!"

"Is the information true?" The commander did not react immediately, but asked nervously.

The military headquarters gave the National Savior Army so many benefits and added so many shells to them. Finally, they saw the dawn of victory and could reap the results.

Moreover, the next counterattack would be a breakthrough battle. If the Okamoto United wins, the counterattack of the Shanxi garrison will be smoother and smoother, so he will not be nervous.

The intelligence officer nodded firmly: "I dare to use my own head to guarantee it, this information must be true!"

"Blessed by Amaterasu, the Shanxi garrison can finally break the deadlock!" The army commander's aggrieved and excited heart suddenly burst out, and he shouted with his fists clenched with both hands.

His eyes quickly shifted to the sand table, and he looked and asked, "Where have the two battalions returned to the aid troops?"

"I just entered their base area, about fifteen kilometers away from the railway line. I am currently marching in a company to reinforce the front line!" The intelligence officer handed the information to the combat staff while reporting it.

The combat staff responded quickly and immediately marked the locations of the two battalions on the sand table based on intelligence.

The commander made a decision when he saw it: "Chief of Staff, now we will go in two steps!"

"You send a telegram to Major Panasonic immediately. The military headquarters will add another 6,000 shells to the National Savior Army tonight, and all the weapons that the National Savior Army has lost on the battlefield will be replenished. As soon as the day dawn tomorrow morning, immediately urge the National Savior Army to launch an attack on the defense line of the Unique Regiment and strive to take down the Unique Regiment Command before noon."
