Cai Qi on the slope.

It was already completely dark, but Chief Chen and Song Xilian still stayed at the observation post, unwilling to leave for a long time, and their faces were very regretful.

A whole division, only one day, was basically disabled.

Song Xilian really regretted and regretted this division.

Song Xilian was also a little confused, puzzled why Shangfeng had to let Master Yu attack Nantianmen?

Is it really to fight for a breath and not want to lose to the Indian expeditionary force in the counterattack on Burma? Is face really that important? More important than the lives of an entire division and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers?

However, there are some things that he can't change.

President Chen's regret is fake regret, and he even has some irrepressible joy in his heart.

It is regrettable that the Yu division lost nearly 10,000 elite officers and soldiers in battle, but the important thing is that the defeat of the Yu division completely planted the old opponent who had been fighting with him for decades.

In the future, no one in the command will be able to wrestle with him.

Now, he Lao Chen is the real little chairman!

General Chen has even begun to hope that one day after Chairman Chiang retires, he will be able to succeed him in order and become the supreme leader of the Nationalist Government.

Therefore, President Chen didn't even want to hold Yu Xiaoqing responsible.

It's just a reservoir dog, and it's dirty to hit it.

However, the Sichuan Legion Changlong article and the regimental deputy Lin Yi are really rare talents, after the battle of Nantianmen, they have to be well encircled.

……

The night is quiet.

By the moonlight, Wang Yan looked at the quiet valley and said, "Let's do it here." ”

"You, you, and you." Meng was annoyed and immediately yelled, "Find Chai He, raise the fire!" ”

The more than 100 artillerymen who accompanied them quickly scattered to find firewood, and then lit a fire in the col.

It didn't take long for the roar of the plane's engine to be heard faintly in the distant sky, and soon the roar of the engine reached their heads, and finally disappeared into the sky.

"Come down, I see." Bean Cake pointed to the top of his head, and suddenly laughed.

When Wang Yan looked up, he saw that a parachute had descended from the sky.

Under this parachute, there is also a large wooden crate, which is a supply.

Meng was annoyed and yelled: "Go separately to find it, a total of 100 boxes, don't leak it!" ”

This is the supply that the Flying Tigers airdropped to their Sichuan Corps, there is food, drink, and ammunition supplies, and all the materials needed for the next two days of combat are here.

A parachute landed at Wang Yan's feet.

Use a dagger to cut the paracord and pry the plank box open.

I saw that the box contained neat army green canned food and canned luncheon meat.

Mi Long carried a box from the other side, but it was full of 60mm shells.

At this moment, there was a sudden pop in the direction of Nantianmen, and a dazzling bright light bloomed.

Everyone hurriedly looked back, and saw that a flare had risen directly above the tree fort of Nantianmen, sprinkling dazzling strong light to illuminate almost the entire Nantianmen.

"The devil has attacked!" Meng said in annoyance.

Wang Yan shouted: "Leave one platoon to collect supplies, and the other two platoons will follow me!" ”

After speaking, Wang Yan yelled at the lost dragon again: "Lost dragon, carry this box of shells for me!" ”

"I'm tired of a fart, and I have to carry a cannonball again." Mi Long said that he was unwilling, but his body was very honest, and he bent down to carry the cannonball, which weighed more than 200 catties.

……

South Heavenly Gate, Tree Fort.

The assault team is already firing on all cylinders and is desperately blocking it.

But there were too many devils rushing from all directions, and as soon as they hit it, they immediately came up again, as if it was endless.

The light and heavy machine guns of the commandos soon smoked from the barrels.

"Barrel! Barrel! Get a barrel for Lao Tzu! ”

"Bullets! Lao Tzu is running out of bullets, take the bullets! ”

"Sub-shooter, damn it for Lao Tzu to be a sub-shooter!"

"Tuanza, there are too many devils, I can't stand it!"

"Hold on! If you don't want to die, resist it, give me it! ”

"Damn, what are Chief Ah Yi and Li Ula doing? Open fire! ”

As soon as the sound fell, a squeaky screak sounded in the night sky, and then rows of cannonballs fell from the sky and exploded outside the tree fort.

The Japanese troops, who were charging like ants, were blown up one by one.

After five minutes of rapid artillery fire from both flanks of Nantianmen, the Japanese aborted their attack.

Watching the Japanese soldiers in the field of vision quickly disappear into the night in the distance, the cannon fodder in the tree fort fell to the ground one after another, and it seemed that they would be able to survive tonight.

……

"It can't be!" Tsuneo Ejima put down his binoculars and said in a cruel voice, "How can the Shina Army hiding on Gaoligong Mountain still have so many shells?" ”

"Even if they crossed the river with a base number of shells, they would have finished fighting after two days and nights of fierce fighting."

"But their ammunition ration just now is at least half a base! Where did they get so many shells? ”

"Didn't you hear the engine roar just now?" Takeuchi said, "Apparently we just airdropped supplies. ”

"Airdrop supplies?" Tsuneo Ejima's face immediately fell, then there was really no way to fight this battle.

The Tree Fort was occupied, and not only the operation of Nantianmen's defense system was greatly affected, but the most important thing was that their Takeuchi Wing also began to have a shortage of materials, especially food.

Ammunition is basically stored separately at the individual firing positions.

But the rations were mostly stored in warehouses on the basement level of the tree fort!

Now the tree fort is occupied by the Chinese army, and their rations are only three days left!

If they can't recapture the Tree Fort, it means that they will be hungry in three days!

But how easy is it to recapture the Tree Fort? If they didn't first deal with the Chinese artillery on the Gaoligong Hills on both sides, they wouldn't have thought of recapturing the tree fort at all.

I can't take back the entire Takeuchi United team!

Thinking of this, Tsuneo Ejima was a little discouraged.

Who would have thought that the sturdy tree fort that was built at such a great cost would now become a nightmare for their Takeuchi United?

There are also the artillery of the national army on both sides of Gaoligong Mountain, who would have thought that the seemingly impregnable defense system of Nantianmen would have such a fatal loophole?

Takeuchi Renshan's face was also gloomy.

After being silent for a long time, Renzan Takeuchi turned his head and asked the engineer captain, "Ikeda-kun?" How long will it take for the tunnels to be reopened? ”

Koichi Ikeda: "At least half a month!" ”

"Yaga Yaru!" Takeuchi Lianshan was so angry that he scolded.

"Hello." Kokazu Ikeda, "The Shina army blew up a tunnel more than 50 meters long, and the amount of earth was so large that half a month is already the most conservative estimate. ”

Tsuneo Ejima said: "But our remaining rations can't last half a month at all!" ”

An inexplicable cold light flashed in Takeuchi's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Order, from today onwards, the rations will be reduced by half!" At the same time, call the division headquarters and ask for supplies! ”

"Hello!" Tsuneo Ejima paused.
