"Artillerymen, destroy the enemy's machine-gun positions for me!"

Although it was not his guards who were shattered, Shinichiro Watanabe still couldn't tolerate this situation to continue, because once all those Imperial Imperial troops were shattered, it would be his Imperial Army's turn.

In addition, although he was prepared to use them as cannon fodder, if the casualties were too large, he would also not be able to account for Matsuyama Yoshimasa and Murakami Takeyoshi.

And the biggest threat to the Imperial Army is undoubtedly the machine guns of the Shina military.

As long as the enemy's machine-gun positions were destroyed, their casualties would undoubtedly be much lower.

Luckily, their guard brigade also had an artillery squadron, and this time they also brought barmen mortars and a dozen grenadiers.

"Your Excellency Shaozo......"

"Nani?"

Shinichiro Watanabe saw the hesitation on the face of the artillery squadron leader on the side, and couldn't help frowning and wondering.

"There are too many enemy machine gunners, where do we start destroying them?"

Finally, after a moment of hesitation, the little devil lieutenant voiced his doubts.

But isn't it, there are more than 200 light and heavy machine guns in the new regiment, in other words, there are more than 200 machine gun positions in the new regiment.

At this moment, these machine guns are firing in unison, and it is almost like an angry dragon spewing tongues of fire under the night, not to mention how shocking it looks.

And that's just the firepower of the new regiment, not counting the 113th Division.

"Yaga!"

Shinichiro Watanabe was furious when he heard this, his gloomy gaze swept over the captain, and he continued to say angrily: "The enemy has a lot of machine guns, so let me destroy them one by one!" ”

"Hay!"

The little devil captain responded, and then turned around and went to work.

Almost at the same time, Shinichiro Watanabe, in order to prevent heavy casualties, ordered a halt to the charge.

At this moment, he has begun to face up to the officers and soldiers of the coalition.

At the same time, his gaze at the coalition positions was also full of confusion and incomprehension.

How many troops is the enemy deployed here? With so many automatic weapons, even if it is the only army, and it is also the Central Army, it may not have it, right?

And with the national strength and productivity of Echina, I'm afraid it can't support such a large consumption of bullets at all, right?

It's been two days of continuous fighting, and the enemy still has such powerful firepower, it's simply unscientific.

Shinichiro Watanabe guessed correctly, if according to China's production capacity at this time, it would simply not be able to supply such a large consumption of bullets.

When ordinary officers and soldiers go to battle, they will only be given five rounds of ammunition per person, or even less.

And just a heavy machine gun can consume a staggering hundreds of rounds of bullets per minute.

That's pretty much the total number of bullets even everyone combined.

In fact, how did Shinichiro Watanabe know that the reason why the new regiment has such a powerful firepower and such a strong financial resource is actually because of them.

The new regiment of these weapons and supplies were all seized from them.

Even after this period of accumulation, as long as Yang Yun is willing, he can already let the new regiment be equipped with a light machine gun per person.

However, Yang Yun did not do this, not because the number of machine guns in his hand was not enough, but because the ammunition reserves of the new regiment were simply not enough to support such a fierce consumption.

At the same time, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns were fired at the same time, which was already the limit of the new regiment.

If it weren't for the last resort, Yang Yun would not have equipped the officers and soldiers of the new regiment with so many automatic weapons at all.

In ordinary combat, the new regiment only needs to be equipped with seventy or eighty light and heavy machine guns, and its firepower is sufficient.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom—"

At this moment, one after another shells suddenly fell on the battlefield and exploded with a bang.

"Nani?"

A smile just appeared on the corner of Watanabe's mouth, but the next moment the smile froze, and soon turned into a dead face.

Because he suddenly realized that this shell was not fired by his own side, this order had just been given, and in such a short time, the artillery squadron had no time to carry it out.

Since this shell was not fired by the artillery squadron, it is already self-evident who fired it.

It was fired by enemy troops in China.

"Yaga! How could the enemy army still have such a strong firepower? ”

Shinichiro Watanabe frowned, looked sideways at Murakami Takeshi on the side, and asked angrily, "Murakami-kun, didn't you say that the enemy's shells have run out?" Why is there still such a strong firepower? ”

"This ......"

Murakami Takeyoshi was shocked, thought for a moment and then frowned and said: "Today we have launched countless charges, and several times we almost rushed to the enemy's position, but the enemy has never used artillery shells. ”

Shinichiro Watanabe did not doubt Takeyoshi Murakami's words, because he would never and would not dare to hide it from him on top of this matter.

All of a sudden, his face became more and more ugly, and he muttered in a low voice: "If this is the case, then the enemy army we have encountered is inevitably too terrifying. ”

Finally, Shinichiro Watanabe began to face up to the strength of the new group.

Because whether it is the combat power of machine guns or the combat power of automatic weapons, the new regiment is no weaker than them in the slightest.

At the same time, he finally knew that it was no wonder that after two consecutive days of attack, neither the 5th Brigade nor the 29th Brigade could annihilate this enemy army.

It's not that Murakami Takeyoshi and the others are incompetent, it's not that the Imperial Army is useless, it's just that the enemy army they encountered this time is definitely unprecedentedly strong.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a cannonball landed not far from the right side of Shinichiro Watanabe and exploded, and the huge destructive force generated by the explosion of the cannonball directly blew up a deep crater in the ground, setting off countless gravel and dirt.

Several little devil officers and soldiers around were directly blown away by this huge impact, and their bodies twisted and floated into the air, and then fell heavily.

With a "boom", the screams of these little devils also came to an abrupt end.

Shinichiro Watanabe's thoughts were also interrupted by this loud noise, and then he hurriedly leaned down to avoid the huge impact.

"Yaga!"

Because he was too hasty when he lay down, Shinichiro Watanabe didn't pay attention, and his mouth came into close contact with the ground, and he ate a mouthful of black mud, and he couldn't help but become more and more angry.

It's just that in the face of the shelling of the new artillery company, he has no way at all at this moment.

The only thing that can only be rejoiced in is that because the night is too dark, the enemy army can't see their formation clearly, so they can only bomb randomly.

However, the next moment, Shinichiro Watanabe's face darkened again.

Because at this moment, several flares suddenly and slowly rose into the air, and then exploded in mid-air, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daylight.

"Nima! Do you want to slap your face like this? ”

It's too late for Shinichiro Watanabe to be angry at this moment, because he knows very well that the flares have made the enemy see their formation, and the next moment they will face targeted bombardment by the enemy......
