The arrival of ten heavy trucks did not cause much of a stir.

The telegram from the Second Theater Command had already been sent to the Jindong Theater Command, and with the addition of an army lieutenant general escorting the car, the convoy encountered almost no obstacles along the way, and the convoy arrived at the Jiuguan Frontline Headquarters set up by Liu Lang, three kilometers away from the Jiuguan front, in the evening.

While the two bigwigs were warmly received, all five trucks weighing 25 tons of munitions were removed. It is mainly based on various types of 7.97 caliber and 6.5 caliber machine rifle bullets, 75 caliber mountain artillery shells, 82 caliber mortar shells and grenades produced by Taiyuan Arsenal Branch.

When he came to Jindong, because he needed a large number of friendly supports, Liu Lang also deeply felt the lack of munitions, but even if the baggage company was equipped with three jumpers, the transportation capacity was limited, and it really could not be compared with the big trucks that were prone to four or five tons.

It is too far to be transported from Guangyuan, so don't send it until the battle is over. Liu Lang thought about it, so he could only buy it from the old man in Shanxi. Although the price is a little more expensive, it is delivered according to his needs.

3,000 rounds of artillery shells of various types were basically enough for all the consumption of the Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment in the First Battle of Jiuguan, and the 100,000 rounds of various machine rifle bullets and 8,000 grenades for the entire 386 Brigade were basically enough to meet all the needs of the Jindong War.

And the 6.5 caliber machine rifle bullet is kept for the independent regiment for its own use, which is really good for the MG42, but it is too bullet-intensive. In order to ambush the 10 Japanese planes, the 12 MG42 anti-aircraft machine guns in the two positions where the three air defense positions only opened fire killed nearly 8,000 rounds of ammunition in just five minutes, and the 4 MG42s of a fire platoon of the 3rd Battalion of the 772nd Regiment actually shot 15,000 rounds in 20 minutes.

It's just that, looking at their appearance, Liu Lang knows that it is basically useless, and they are used to replacing casualties with firepower, and they will only shoot bullets at the Japanese invaders more frantically, and they will definitely not be stingy with ammunition.

Who let them know that there is him, the captain of the transport brigade, behind him! Liu Lang also had to continue to perform his duties as the "captain of the transport brigade", and additionally asked the old man from Shanxi to order this batch of 6.5 caliber Japanese bullets, which also amounted to 100,000 rounds.

Coupled with the nearly 500,000 rounds carried before, it is estimated that it is enough for these losers to squander for a while.

As for the batch of ammunition with a quantity of more than 20,000 rounds from the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the battlefield, they were basically given to the 772nd Regiment and the 386th Brigade, and the Japanese-style weapons they captured could not be used as burning sticks, right?

There were also three trucks, but they were not unloaded immediately, but waited until the dead of night, all of them were loaded into three jumpers after being unloaded by the independent regiment's baggage, and continued to be covered tightly with canvas, escorted by an infantry company, with Liu Lang's warrant to Lieutenant General Zeng of the Niangziguan Front Command Headquarters, who was also in a good mood, and transported to Qiqian Village overnight.

Except for Liu Lang and Comrade Lao Li, who personally escorted the car, no one knew what kind of materials were being transported in these three trucks.

Throughout the day, except for the rumbling artillery fire and gunfire in the Xuehua Mountain area, there were two wings of devils in the direction of Niangzi Pass who began to advance, but they were still fifteen miles away from the main position of Niangzi Pass, so they camped and did not move forward.

In Liu Lang's front-line headquarters, there were Commander Ye and Deputy Commander Wang of the 772nd Regiment and three battalion commanders from the Jiuguan front, while Yu Xiancheng, captain of the Special Brigade, and Ye Zihua, deputy commander of the first battalion and commander of the first company of the Independent Regiment, sat from the front line of Jiuguan, and on the independent regiment side.

There is also an old Comrade Li who is not ready to return to Taiyuan and strongly asks to serve as an observer on the front line of Niangziguan.

The old man in Shanxi estimated that he had saved millions of oceans with his head because he didn't use his head, and he was also unhappy with him in his heart, so he naturally couldn't see it, so he didn't hesitate to call and agree.

As a result, there was an additional observer at the rank of lieutenant general in the headquarters of Liu Lang's Independent Regiment. Comrade Lao Li's military talent is not very good, but he has a set of life, not to mention that he has no frame of a lieutenant general, and he deliberately put down his body and became familiar with the officers of the 772nd Regiment.

Moreover, what Liu Lang admires the most is that this person only brings his ears and no mouth when he holds a military meeting, and no matter what, he will never speak easily. This is very commendable, but the people sitting here are all colonel-level officers with military ranks far lower than him.

It can also be seen how big the blow of being a scapegoat for the defeat of Tianzhen this time was. No matter how good you are, but in the army, everything must have the strength to speak. If he trains a strong army, if he is undefeated, he doesn't have to worry that Shangguan will use him as a scapegoat, and he can even control more troops and have more power.

In troubled times, only strength is the most reliable.

Liu Lang, obviously, is one of them.

And strength is not only obtained by being rich and powerful, but also having the ability.

Comrade Li, who attended Liu Lang's military conference for the first time, finally knew why Liu Lang, a little colonel, could be valued by so many bigwigs, or why he was regarded like a tiger and wolf by the Japanese invaders.

"Commander Liu, why did a brigade of Japanese invaders only march fifteen miles during the entire day? What is their conspiracy? One of the officers sitting around a map finally couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, what conspiracy can they have? They're just waiting for someone. Liu Lang smiled slightly.

Pointing to Shijiazhuang on the map, he continued: "The Japanese North China Dispatch Army West Advance Corps captured Shijiazhuang five days ago, and the remnants of our 29th Army were pursued to the south of the Yellow River, about the strength of one division. The other part, the main force of the 20th Division, attacked Jingcheng along the Zhengtai Railway, and used Jingcheng County, which they had already captured, as a logistical supply point to attack the defense area of our Niangzi Pass. But now, the infantry wings that appeared on the battlefield were numbered 3 infantry wings of the 77th, 78th, and 80th and a field artillery brigade. According to the establishment of the two infantry brigades and the cavalry, artillery, engineer, and pronged wings of the permanent divisions of the Japanese army, they also have an infantry wing and an artillery wing with half an artillery wing, and an engineer wing and a baggage wing。。。。。 ”

"Commander Liu, let me interject, do you mean that the three infantry wings that the Japanese army has dispatched are still waiting for another part of the main force of the Japanese army? However, according to the arrogance of the Japanese army, with more than 10,000 infantry and artillery in three infantry wings, they can already launch an attack on our defensive line. "Comrade Li, who had been listening to Liu Lang's summary after the previous World War and did not speak, finally couldn't help but ask." Also, I just listened, why does the main battlefield of the 28th Cavalry Wing seem to be in the direction of Jiuguan! ”

"Hehe, all the scum of the 28th Cavalry Wing has been hung as bacon jerky to dry under the old Guan Mountain, so don't mention it." Liu Lang first replied with a sentence that made Comrade Lao Li can't help but chill in his vest, which can be regarded as an answer to his later questions. Then he said: "That's right, Commander Li is right, the Japanese army is waiting for the other main force of the 20th Division, only the 79th Wing Infantry Wing from Shijiazhuang is stationed in Jingcheng County, he has no worries about the back, he will go all out to attack the defense line of my Niangziguan, otherwise, they will not worry."

As for the arrogance of the Japanese army that Commander Li just said, hehe, no matter how arrogant a person is, as long as his face is swollen but he still has nothing to do with the other party, he will generally learn to be smarter. ”

When talking to smart people, the words are generally not too thorough, and the other party understands. Lao Li's comprehension in this regard is good, even if Liu Lang didn't say anything, but just looking at the smiles on the faces of the officers, Comrade Lao Li already knows.

I'm afraid that the destruction of the 28th Cavalry Wing, which has begun to coax Shanxi, is mostly the hand of the independent regiment, and the reason why it is claimed to be the credit of tens of thousands of troops in the entire Niangziguan defense line is also for everyone's good looks.

As soon as the independent regiment made a move, it wiped out a devil cavalry wing, and it is no wonder that the 20th Division would be so cautious. Without a single infantry wing in the rear, not a single brigade of devils would dare to attack easily.

The devil is not a stupid person, and he has to stupidly lean his right face over again after being slapped on the left cheek.

However, the devils who can scare a division and regiment with the strength of a regiment are cautious, I am afraid that there is no one else except Liu Lang and his independent regiment.

You must know that in Tianzhen in early September, although his 61st Army did not have the strength of one army and two divisions, it still had one and a half divisions of more than 16,000 people, and an infantry wing of the Japanese invaders who had just arrived on the battlefield began to attack the defense line such as Panshan. But I don't care if there are reinforcements behind.

Although the Japanese army finally arrived on the battlefield, it was as high as a division.

Otherwise, Comrade Lao Li would not have asked this question just now.

"Therefore, the Japanese army that has taken the initiative to advance the battle line will wait for reinforcements tonight, if nothing else, tomorrow at dawn, the Japanese army will divide into two routes, with one wing to attack the direction of the third army's defense line at Niangzi Pass, and the other wing will mainly attack Jiuguan. After everyone returns to the front line, all officers and soldiers must ensure a good rest tonight, and if you miss today, I am afraid that there will be no such peaceful time.

In addition, I repeat the military order: All officers and men of the whole army, including the first battalion of the 772nd regiment and the third battalion of the independent regiment, must participate in the battle in strict accordance with the previous tactical arrangements, and must not attack without authorization. Liu Lang's eyes suddenly became serious, and he said coldly.

"Yes!" All the officers stood collectively and solemnly.

Including the commander of the 772nd Regiment Ye with a similar rank as Liu Lang, Liu Lang is now not only the head of the independent regiment, but also the commander-in-chief of the Jiuguan front line of joint operations designated by the division headquarters and brigade headquarters.

Deputy Head Wang, who has always been unconvinced and quite unruly, agreed unexpectedly cheerfully. Liu Lang's previous battle of annihilating the 28th Cavalry Wing has proven his ability. If you have the ability to give military orders, you must listen to them.

Watching everyone's figures gradually disappear into the darkness, Liu Lang looked at the mountains a little silently.

Tomorrow, I don't know how many acquaintances' backs will never be seen again.

Liu Lang actually didn't say a word, what the devils of the two wings have been waiting for is probably not the infantry of the same wing, but the heavy weapon of the 20th Division.

12 105 heavy guns armed with the artillery wing.

Wait until tomorrow, the dawn of Niangzi Pass and the Old Pass, most likely, will be in a bloody color.

Can the simple version of the anti-slope tunnel withstand the bombardment of the 105 heavy artillery? Liu Lang, who set his eyes on the mountains of black shadow pupils, didn't know either.

He only knew that this battle was even far more difficult than the Battle of the Great Wall.
