Chapter 838: People's Enthusiasm
The captured major was finally convinced. He had seen the world and had heard about the fire suppression of the Junker Army at the Japanese Army Officer School. But he really wanted to call those people over. The Junker Army, the king of the army that you admire, might not be as good as the army in front of him.
From the moment he entered this street until now, this guy has been counting. The armored vehicle's 40mm cannon has fired nearly 60 shells in total.
As for the heavy machine gun next to it, each box contains 500 bullets, and now there are eight or nine boxes thrown next to it, so nearly 5,000 bullets have been fired.
This was just one armored vehicle. The heavy machine guns on the jeeps next to it never stopped firing. And just now, when he stretched his neck, he saw that five or six boxes of grenades were directly taken down from a truck behind it.
When he peeked through the window again, there were already five or six empty boxes. How many Japanese soldiers were there around? According to this number, the ammunition inflicted on a single Japanese soldier must have been several times his own body weight.
Even in such a situation, the captain was still cautious. He did not order his men to rush forward immediately. He was very careful with every step he took. If there was any movement, he would be immediately greeted by artillery fire. There were fire mushrooms everywhere around.
Can’t win…
I really can't win...
This Japanese major was actively observing just now. If he had a chance to be rescued, he could go back and write about the things he found inside to broaden the horizon for the major Japanese armies.
Now he no longer has this idea, because he knows that even if he writes these things down, he probably won't be able to tell other Japanese troops. Even if someone gives you a green light and lets you tell all these things, how many of those stubborn guys do you think will believe it?
During the time in Northeast China, several Japanese officers were captured. Upon returning, they told stories that no one else believed, describing the 72nd Army's firepower in great detail. Unfortunately, no one believed them. Many people thought they were spies sent by the 72nd Army, because on this planet, there was no way an army could have that kind of firepower.
Of course, the major did not believe the report after seeing it at that time. How could a soldier have so many weapons on the battlefield? Now he believes that what happened on the battlefield in Northeast China was not true at all, because what he sees now is even more powerful than the original report.
Just when this guy was disappointed, another small team came over from the rear. Only fifteen minutes had passed, and so much ammunition had been fired in fifteen minutes. It was really terrible.
The rear team is fully equipped with weapons, so the troops under Yan Wuhua's command began to retreat to the second line and perform guard duties around. This is also stipulated by the higher-ups. You only have one-third of your ammunition left, so you must stay where you are and wait for the personnel in the rear to deliver it.
"Who is Captain Yan?"
This proved that the Japanese major knew a lot of Chinese. At this moment, at the corner in the rear, more than 30 rickshaws came over, loaded with boxes of ammunition. It turned out that due to the urgency of the battle, the rear transport team of the 72nd Army could not come over, so they could only requisition some local rickshaws.
"Here, here. Park your car here and hide in that building."
Captain Yan did not blame the people in the transport unit. This time all the troops were going to attack on all fronts. Even if the people in the transport unit were split into two, it would be impossible to guarantee the needs of all the troops. They could only requisition some civilian workers.
"Captain Yan, you underestimate me. We are a group of drivers, and none of us are cowards. Hurry up and tell us where to unload the goods."
The leading big man said with disdain on his face that the people pulling the carts also belonged to a gang, otherwise they would not be able to survive in this place. They may not be good people in normal times, but when the national war comes, the brothers must also make contributions.
"This type of box is placed every two meters. This type of box can be placed on each car with two barrels."
Captain Yan asked the quartermaster to come over and began to introduce the things in the cars to the brothers. Boxes of bullets and other things were placed every two meters, and two barrels of gasoline were placed in each car.
There are boxes of grenades and other items placed every five meters. Do those brothers know how to use them?
Fortunately, these rickshaws pulled the goods here. The ground was already full of potholes due to bombing. If our soldiers were there, they would have to stop the car hundreds of meters away and carry the goods on their shoulders. But now these rickshaws can be delivered directly to the front line.
"Go back, who asked you to come here?"
Behind these rickshaw drivers, there were some people riding bicycles and carrying the loads on their shoulders, most of them were young students.
"Sir, we also want to resist the Japanese."
"Yes, yes, we are all Nankai students. We can carry bullets and wounded soldiers for you."
"Are you stupid? Who told you to carry it? Hurry up and put it on my cart. You push it from behind and we'll take it to the place with the Red Cross in the back."
Just as a college student was about to carry the wounded soldier on his back, the rickshaw driver who had just delivered the weapons and ammunition came back from the front. Without waiting for the people from the 72nd Army to say anything, these people started working on their own.
The eyes of the brothers of the 72nd Army were also moist. We defend our country, and the people really feel sorry for us.
"Brothers, kill them!"
Captain Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around, and continued to operate the heavy machine gun in his hand. With the reinforcement of various weapons and equipment, the surrounding firepower was fully opened again.
The Japanese soldiers on the position were in real trouble at this moment. The building defense line they built was completely useless in such a fierce attack. Some of the more agile ones jumped out of the back windows and escaped long ago. Only those stupid people still insisted on being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and in the end they didn't know how many pieces their bodies were blown into.
After sacrificing dozens of brothers and more than a dozen civilians, they finally reached the warehouse of the 11th Brigade. At this moment, on the left side of the warehouse, there were three Japanese military vehicles transporting supplies quickly. As a result, a tank shell hit the car in the middle, and several Japanese soldiers around it were also blown away.
The other devils were still trying to lie down and fight back, but a dozen of us quickly rushed forward, manipulating our submachine guns as we charged, and bullets rained down on us like raindrops...
