Chapter 400: It Turned Out to Be Done

"Your Excellency Commander, the front line has sent someone to report that the troops are in urgent need of ammunition supplies......" In the solemn atmosphere of the headquarters, the chief of staff who hurriedly walked in, although he was very embarrassed, still had to say. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

You know, the two regiments, which have consumed more than half of their ammunition, will not be replenished tonight and will be attacked again by the Japanese tentatively. The ammunition of these two regiments will definitely run out. At that time, once the Japanese army seized the opportunity to attack, the defense line composed of tens of thousands of troops on the front line would be torn open by the Japanese, and eventually the entire defense line would fall into crisis.

After thinking about it, the chief of staff still felt that the situation at the front was more important than the two arsenals that had been destroyed.

As a result, although the commander who knew that the commander who was holding back his anger was likely to vent his anger on himself, the chief of staff, who thought about the overall situation, still took the risk to report.

"Bastard, ask me for ammunition at this time, I ask who is going to ask for it...... Chief of Staff, haven't you figured out how the arsenal exploded? The commander, who stared at the red-eyed commander, like an angry lion, confronted the chief of staff.

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "How the arsenal exploded, no cause has been found yet......

"However, the defenders reported an incident...... The night before, both arsenals were attacked by unknown enemies......"

"The opponent, armed with Mauser pistols and numbering no more than five, attacked the arsenal twice in a row, and as soon as our troops passed, the opponent fled. The other is that the two sneak attacks on the two arsenals were two hours apart. ”

"Because the enemy's sneak attack was not successful, and only caused casualties to the defenders by one squad, the matter was not reported to the headquarters......"

After the Russian commander's clenched fist slammed on the table, he affirmed with a murderous expression: "It can't be such a coincidence, the two sneak attacks and the arsenal must have something to do with it......"

"Did the defenders report on the identity of the enemy who attacked the arsenal......

The chief of staff shook his head again and replied: "The enemy fled too fast, and no one was caught......

"But according to the response of the defenders, these people are very short in stature, much like the Japanese in disguise......"

The commander was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted. He continued to say with a murderous face: "I think I have understood...... Sneak up and destroy our arsenals, then launch a tentative assault on us on the front lines, depleting our limited ammunition reserves. As soon as our ammunition was exhausted, the Japanese took advantage of the situation to attack us. Fight us ......"

"The bottom of the kettle is ......," the chief of staff couldn't help but exclaim.

"The Liaodong Army destroyed the Japanese arsenal and left them with a shortage of ammunition. The Japanese did the same, destroying our arsenal and giving us a draw...... Commander, there is nothing wrong with that. It must be so......"

"Cunning Japanese, I will definitely not let your treacherous plan succeed......" The commander, who suddenly brightened his heart, finally found a target to vent his anger in his heart, and scolded himself loudly.

After scolding for ten minutes, the commander, whose anger had subsided a lot, immediately thought of the report made by the chief of staff just now.

"Ammunition must be delivered to the front-line troops immediately, and the Japanese must not be allowed to succeed in their schemes...... Chief of Staff, apart from these two arsenals, do we have any other ammunition reserves......"

"Yes, but not much," replied the chief ......of staff.

"The command also has a small ammunition depot from which we can transfer ammunition to the front. But. At this rate of consumption, this ammunition depot is only enough to replenish the front line three times......"

"No matter, send it to the front line first...... If the two arsenals in the city are really a premeditated conspiracy of the Japanese, then they will definitely continue to attack us tonight and consume our limited ammunition reserves......"

Sure enough, after the ammunition was delivered to the front, at one o'clock in the evening at the front line, a very fierce exchange of fire again sounded at the front.

It lasted until five o'clock in the morning, when it was almost dawn. The intense and heavy gunfire stopped.

The commander, who had not slept much all night, handed over the loss report as soon as he walked into the headquarters.

"The loss of more than 400 troops and the use of more than 400,000 rounds of various bullets...... I'm sure. The real purpose of the Japanese army is to deplete our dwindling reserves of ammunition. ”

"So what do we do next?" The chief of staff also agreed, and followed the commander's interface.

"What can I do? Without ammunition reserves, in any case, it is impossible to engage in a decisive battle with the Japanese army now. Otherwise, it must be us who lose......" the commander replied without thinking.

"Now there are two preparations to be made: first, immediately ask for help from home. Request a supply of ammo, the sooner the better......"

"Second, to ensure the supply of ammunition to the front-line combat troops, to give the Japanese army a feeling that we still have a very sufficient ammunition. After a long time, the Japanese will naturally stop this tentative offensive that consumes our ammunition. ”

"You must know that after losing the logistics reserve base of Fengcheng, the Japanese army's ammunition reserves are not much more than ours."

The commander of the Russian army is very sensible, if things really develop as he planned, the crisis that the Russian army is facing now will be solved immediately.

However, the chief of staff at this time raised a question.

"Commander, it will take at least a month to bring ammunition from the country."

"And our current ammunition reserves, not to mention a month, can't hold out even two nights......"

The commander thought about it and replied: "You are right, this problem must be solved......"

"It is not surprising that the tentative attacks of the Japanese will surely become more and more fierce and larger in the past few days. As a result, the ammunition consumption of the front-line troops will become more and more ......"

"Last night I used 400,000 rounds of various bullets, tomorrow it may be 600,000, the day after tomorrow it may be 800,000......"

"And according to my reasoning, this tentative attack will last at least ten days, and after ten days, the Japanese, who have nothing to gain from us, will stop......"

"So, we have to have 10 million rounds of ammunition to avoid the tentative attack of the Japanese, to make them feel that even if they blow up our arsenal, they will not have a chance."

The chief of staff frowned, his face was full of worry, and he thought for a minute before replying thoughtfully: "Commander, I think that one person has the ten million rounds of ammunition we need......

"Who ......," the commander subconsciously asked.

"Liaodong Army, two months ago, we sent almost 13 million rounds of various bullets to the Liaodong Army......

"If we can get back 10 million rounds of ammunition from the Liaodong Army, then we will be saved from this crisis."

The commander replied if he didn't think about it: "Then what are you still doing, why don't you go to the Liaodong Army immediately, no matter what the cost, you have to get back 10 million rounds of ammunition ......" (to be continued.) )
