Chapter 327 Battlefield Logistics
"Where was the shooting?"
Inoue Fuxiong quickly took out his Nambu-style pistol and leaned against the bunker next to him.
He had read the combat records of the 72nd Brigade. Almost every infantry squad had a sniper. A major general like himself was the favorite target of all snipers on the battlefield.
"Reporting to the brigade commander, it's not the enemy, it's the Ueda reconnaissance team that has returned. We didn't see the position of our hands clearly just now, so we fired a warning shot."
A few minutes later, his men finally figured it out, and Liu Mazi climbed out of the trench embarrassedly. When the gunshots were heard just now, this guy shamelessly jumped in.
This has nothing to do with his usual slogans of dedicating himself to the Japanese Empire! Now he is just a coward.
Inoue Puxiong looked at Liu Mazi speechlessly, but since he still needed him now, he just pretended that he didn't see him just now, otherwise he would have shot him dead long ago.
"Bring people here."
Inoue Fuuo gave the order, and Private First Class Ueda, who had been running for two and a half hours, was carried over by two soldiers.
"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, quickly prepare for battle! The troops stationed in Chifeng are coming. The convoy is two kilometers long, with over a hundred vehicles of various types. This is only a portion of what I have detected. I suspect they are divided into several groups."
Private First Class Ueda hadn't drunk a sip of water along the way, and his lips were a little chapped, but he couldn't care less and had to tell the news first.
"Bakayaloo, prepare the whole army for battle."
What you fear will come true! Inoue Fuxiong didn't bother to comfort the corporal. He took out his command knife and ordered his men to fight.
The Japanese soldiers who were guarding the laborers in the surrounding area quickly gathered together, but the trench was only half dug and could not trap the enemy's armored vehicles and jeeps at all.
But now they couldn't care less. Japanese soldiers from all over the city quickly gathered together and drove out the workers who were digging trenches. They took this opportunity to escape.
The Japanese don't treat us as human beings. If we continue to stay here, we will be exhausted to death by them sooner or later.
"Bakayalu, hit me!"
When Inoue Fuo discovered that the laborers were escaping, he immediately ordered his men to shoot.
Liu Mazi was so scared that he closed his eyes. Although he was the chairman of the maintenance association, he didn't really intend to take these people's lives. Hundreds of laborers fell down like that. Fortunately, the others ran fast, otherwise who knows how many people would have died here today.
A large number of Japs came out of the city, some carrying ammunition boxes, some carrying artillery parts. None of them had expected that the 72nd Division would attack them so quickly.
According to their thinking, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Masao Tanimoto, had just held a press conference here, which meant that it was still safe here. How could the enemy attack?
But General Inoue would not give orders casually, so these people entered combat status at an extremely fast speed. After all, they were the elite of the Japanese Army. In just half an hour, they had been deployed on the defense line outside the city.
Li Shaoyi and his men took the main road, and the route was not good at night, so it took them a longer time. The two scouts had already checked the retreat route, so they returned in a very short time.
After an hour, there was still no discovery on the entire position, and the Japanese even used extremely precious flares.
This thing is nothing to Li Shaoyi. Like other things in the system, he can exchange as much as he wants. But for the Japanese, ordinary troops would not be equipped with such things at all.
But at this moment, they were afraid that people from the 72nd Division would sneak up on them, so no matter how much they cherished the weapons, they had to shoot a few missiles into the sky.
In fact, Li Shaoyi had already arrived near the battlefield at this time. When he saw the Japanese firing flares, he immediately knew that the Japanese were on guard, so there was no need for us to launch an attack overnight.
We were originally planning a surprise attack, but now they are on high alert, and it is dark now, so it will be useless for us. We might as well wait until daybreak to attack.
Our firepower is superior, but it won't work well after dark, so we might as well wait until daybreak to fight.
Therefore, the four regiments of the Second Security Brigade all arrived at the vicinity of Aohan, from north to south they were the 21st, 3rd and 4th Regiments.
The first and third regiments launched the main attack, while the second and fourth regiments assisted on the north and south wings.
"Artillery, muster up! Artillery, muster up!"
Although Li Shaoyi gave the order to rest, Zhang Haiguang still went to gather the artillery. All the artillery of the four regiments were gathered together, and after dawn, they would prepare to launch a wave of artillery fire at the Japanese.
Now they have gained experience and are using a certain number of artillery shells to clear the obstacles for our attack. Almost all the commanders know this, and in addition to the artillery we have assembled, the Air Force bombers will take off on time at 6:50 tomorrow morning and arrive here at about 8:10.
By then, the air force's bombs and the army's artillery shells will surely destroy the entire Japanese position. After dropping a certain amount of ammunition, our army will launch an attack, which will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Nowadays, the troops that have something to do are gathering, and the troops that have nothing to do are finding a place to sleep. Anyway, everyone has a sleeping bag and a marching blanket, so they can still sleep in the current temperature.
The people in the kitchen team have no way to rest. They have to start cooking immediately. Before the attack tomorrow morning, everyone must have a hot meal. There must also be enough hot water at night. If the soldiers want to drink hot water and you don’t have it, the kitchen team will be in trouble.
"Start a fire with a gasoline stove."
The cook squad leader issued an order. If they could pick up some dry firewood at ordinary times, they would still burn firewood, but where could they find it in the middle of the night? Fortunately, they all had gasoline stoves.
In less than half an hour, the first pot of water boiled. In such weather with a temperature of only five or six degrees, it was very heartwarming for the soldiers to be able to drink a sip of hot water.
"Squad leaders come to me to receive special supplies."
Just as the soldiers were drinking hot water, the company's logistics specialist shouted.
The class leaders ran over, still wondering what special supplies were.
After getting it back, some soldiers were immediately happy.
It turned out that an infantry squad was issued two bottles of Shaodaozi, which was exactly two taels per person.
After taking a sip of this, why would I need hot water? I'm all warm...
