"Nani? How can it be? That's the food, grass and ammunition that 20,000 Imperial soldiers need next! It's all blown up? ”

Hearing this, Kotani Daisuke's face suddenly changed greatly, ignoring the danger of continuous explosions outside the command department at this time, he walked quickly to the outside of the command department, and looked in the direction of the temporary storage of grain, grass and ammunition in the pass.

I saw that the place where the grain and ammunition were stored had exploded loudly, and the billowing smoke and dust that rose into the sky made Kotani Daisuke look dumbfounded, and there was constant fear in his heart.

The 20,000 Japanese troops who were stored in the Pingxing Pass had already turned into piles of useless things at this time, and then the 20,000 Japanese troops under the command of Yoshio Shinozuka ran out of the grain and ammunition that the army carried to the front line of Hengshan. Then, it's time to pause.

And even at this time, when the power was urgent, Dai County, Xinkou, and Datong transferred military supplies, grain, grass and ammunition to the front line.

At that time, it will also take time. What's more, a large number of guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army have been attacking the highway between Daixian and Pingxingguan recently, and they have been counterattacking with the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the base area of the new regiment in Hengshan.

There are countless guerrillas who have been harassing this attack, and at this time, the road is not peaceful.

Thinking of this, if Yoshio Shinozuka knew that Pingxing Pass had been bombarded by a large number of artillery bombardments by unknown enemy troops, so that the large amount of grain, grass and ammunition needed by the 20,000 Japanese troops temporarily stored in Pingxing Pass had been blown up, at that time, Yoshio Shinozuka should have been extremely angry!

"Bagaya Road, Chief of Staff, Chief of Staff!" Daisuke Kotani's face was ugly, and he saw that the place where the 20,000 Japanese troops needed the food, grass and ammunition were stored in the pass was already bursting one after another, and a huge column of smoke had risen into the sky.

Daisuke Kotani already knew that at this time, the place where the grain, grass and ammunition were stored in the Kannai had been blown into ruins and could not be saved.

At this time, the chief of staff of the brigade, Rieki Ezaki, hurried to Daisuke Kotani's side in a hurry, and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency Shaozuo!" ”。

"Damn, nine times out of ten, the main force of the Eighth Route Army stealthily advanced to the south of Pingxingguan, and used a large number of artillery and mortars to bombard the places where we stored grain, grass and ammunition in the pass. However, the other side did not use infantry to attack the pass, and it seems that the other side should know about the large amount of grain, grass and ammunition that we need to reserve for the 20,000 imperial troops in the pass. Therefore, the Eighth Route Army used a large amount of artillery fire to bombard, the purpose of which was to end the logistics supplies of His Excellency the commander! ”

Rieki Rihisa said in a condensed voice: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, what do you mean?" ”。

"Bagaya Road, we are slack! Chief of Staff, immediately send a report to Your Excellency the Commander, informing us that the garrison of Pingxingguan has been bombarded by at least 30 mortars and infantry guns of the Eighth Route Army. The grain, grass and ammunition stored in the pass have all been blown up, and the garrison has already attacked south from the pass to pursue the troops of the Eighth Route Army! Your Excellency the Commander, please instruct! Kotani Daisuke said with a very ugly face, as soon as this telegram was sent, Kotani Daisuke knew that his brigade was estimated to have a 90% chance of being wiped out after the war.

After all, the food, grass and ammunition needed by the 20,000 Japanese troops guarding it were actually blown up by the enemy, which was no less than cutting off the 20,000 Japanese troops commanded by Yoshio Shinozuka that needed the next food, grass and ammunition.

And once the food, grass and ammunition are cut off, for the 20,000 Japanese troops on the front line, the military will be in chaos.

The biggest consequence was that Yoshio Shinozuka had to withdraw from the new regiment base in Hengshan and withdraw to the starting point of the attack at the last time when there was a shortage of ammunition.

And this withdrawal was enough to make Yoshio Shinozuka's plan to concentrate 20,000 Japanese troops to attack the new group of old nest base areas complete bankruptcy, which was a huge blow to Yoshio Shinozuka's reputation. And for Daisuke Kotani, who took care of the food, grass and ammunition needed by the 20,000 Japanese troops in the future, removing him from his position as captain was the smallest punishment.

Unsurely, Daisuke Kotani feels that suicide by caesarean section is his destiny.

Hearing Daisuke Kotani's order, Rihisa Ezaki, as the chief of staff of the old devil's henchman, naturally realized that once Daisuke Kotani's words were reported to Yoshio Shinozuka via radio, what would happen next would be very bad.

But at present, the grain, grass and ammunition of the 20,000 Japanese troops guarded by themselves in the Pingxing Pass have been blown up cleanly, and this is no longer a trivial matter.

Therefore, Ezaki Rihisa said bitterly: "Hai, Your Excellency Shaozuo, I understand my humble duties!" ”。

Subsequently, Riehisa Ezaki hurriedly sent an urgent telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, who was commanding the battle on the Hengshan front, to inform him of the sudden attack by the Eighth Route Army on Pingxingguan.

As for why it was the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army, Riehisa Ezaki and Daisuke Kotani both understood that there was no trace of the main force of the Jin Sui Army near Pingxingguan. Only part of the Eighth Route Army was active nearby, and only the main force of the Eighth Route Army was able to move to the vicinity of Pingxingguan.

At the same time that Wasaki Rihisa urgently sent a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka, at this time, Wang Chengzhu's bombardment of the concentrated artillery fire of the Japanese army in the Pingxing Pass where the grain and ammunition were stored was still continuing.

The whistling shells continued to fall in the Pingxing Pass, which was narrow, and a large number of Japanese military supplies in reserve, including a large number of shells and bullets, had to be piled together.

And once the shell hits the large ammunition box that the little devil has in reserve, causing a huge explosion, it is a series of explosions.

It is a matter of course that it will affect other materials around it.

At this time, in the Pingxing Pass, all the Japanese soldiers who were hastily counterattacking were running around and dizzy. Outside the wall, there was no new regiment of infantry storming the pass, but a large number of artillery shells roared from the hills south of the pass, and the little devil soldiers who blew up were suffering heavy casualties.

At this time, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others, who were observing the effects of the artillery bombardment behind Wang Chengzhu's artillery bombardment position, were a little surprised at this time.

Concentrated artillery bombardment of Pingxingguan, less than two minutes to blow up a large amount of grain and ammunition stored by the Japanese army in the pass, especially the place where the ammunition stacked by the little devils occurred quickly, even Zhang Dabiao and others who were standing on the top of the hill watching the shelling felt the shock wave after the explosion of the Japanese ammunition in Pingxingguan, as well as the heat wave!

"Regiment commander, it is estimated that the 20,000 military supplies of the Japanese army in Pingxing Pass at this time are all left of the scum that have been martyred and exploded!" Less than five minutes later, Wang Chengzhu reported the results of the battle to Li Yunlong, and his face was also full of smiles.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Okay, good job!" Order brothers, withdraw! We have basically eliminated the military supplies needed by the 20,000 Japanese troops in the Pingxing Pass, and it is time to withdraw! ”。

"Yes, Captain!" Wang Chengzhu received the order, and then ordered the artillery soldiers to quickly dismantle the four Type 92 infantry guns, pack up all the mortars, and put them on the war horses to evacuate the mountain.

And at this time, Riehisa Ezaki's emergency telegram had been transmitted to Yoshio Shinozuka. Yusuke Tohi, who received an urgent telegram from the Japanese army in the flat type, quickly reported to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Pingxingguan has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army's cluster artillery fire. All the food, grass and ammunition needed by the 20,000 imperial troops stored in the Pingxing Pass were blown up! ”
