At three o'clock in the morning, the commander of the Japanese Army in Taiyuan was shouted out of the bed by the staff on duty.

As soon as I was about to get angry, I heard bad news from Jinzhong County: "Sir, Jinzhong County has just been attacked. The National Salvation Army dispatched large-caliber mortars to bombard the county town from a long distance. The grain warehouse and ammunition warehouse in the city were all devastating, resulting in less than 20,000 kilograms of grain being robbed. We must transport them ammunition supplies as soon as possible, otherwise more than 2,000 garrisons in Jinzhong County will go hungry in a few days, and the remaining ammunition for the troops will only be enough for one day!"

The commander was suddenly awakened by the bad news, and the anger on his face disappeared, and he shouted in shock: "Why is this happening? Aren't they toxic gas bombs in their hands? Why don't they fight back!"

The staff officer on duty quickly explained: "Bizhi asked the reason on the phone!"

"They reported that the National Salvation Army used large-caliber mortars, which were powerful and had a long range, and the artillery positions were very far away from the county town."

"Although the county garrison used poison gas bounces to counterattack at the first time, their counterattack effect was very poor due to the range and shooting accuracy. Although they finally repelled the National Salvation Army, the grain warehouse and the ammunition warehouse also suffered about 60 large-caliber mortar shells..."

"Bageya Road, the National Salvation Army is indeed a difficult opponent. We just used poison gas bombs to severely damage their attacking troops, causing them to suffer a great loss. They immediately dispatched heavy mortars to destroy our ammunition and grain warehouses, and cut off the ammunition supplies of the county garrison!"

"Without food and ammunition, we either order the front-line garrison to break through and retreat, abandon Jinzhong County, or send troops to transport ammunition supplies to Jinzhong County..."

“For us now, both roads are full of crises.”

"The first road is definitely not chosen. It was the first time to protect the Jinzhong County, so it took the risk of using poison gas bombs on the National Rescue Army. It was finally difficult to severely damage the attacking troops of the National Rescue Army. If you defend the county, you must not give up because of insufficient food and bullets."

"As for the second road, I guess it's right, the National Salvation Army attacking Jinzhong County must have laid a net of heaven and earth on the way to Jinzhong County, waiting for us to take the initiative to drill in."

"As long as we dare to send troops to transport ammunition supplies to Jinzhong County, the transportation team will definitely be ambushed..."

"If you have too bad luck, you cannot send food and ammunition to Jinzhong County. You will also save the national rescue army and finally lose your wife and the army!"

The staff officer on duty suddenly suggested: "Sir, why don't we dispatch planes to airdrop ammunition to Jinzhong County like poisonous gas bombs!"

Before the commander could speak, another staff officer shook his head and objected: "No, it's too slow to do this!"

"The amount of ammunition supply needed to consume in Jinzhong County every day is very large. Even if we dispatch all the air transport aircraft, the ammunition supply sent by us cannot meet their daily needs."

"And the aircraft and pilots under the aviation corps also need to rest and cannot be dispatched every day, so it is definitely not possible to rely on airdrops of transport aircraft alone!"

A disappointed expression flashed on the face of the staff officer on duty immediately. He also felt that his proposal just now was too natural and did not take into account the actual needs and actual situation of the Jinzhong garrison.

Just as everyone racked their brains to think about other solutions, the commander suddenly spoke: "No, the method of airdropping ammunition to Jinzhong County with a transport plane is useful!"

"You just missed a problem: as long as the Jinzhong garrison has poisonous gas bombs, the infantry of the National Salvation Army will not dare to attack the county town casually, and the Jinzhong garrison will consume very little ammunition."

"So the ammunition we sent to them is mainly based on food and ammunition as the supplement, so we don't even have to airdrop ammunition to them."

"Thus counting, the airdrop pressure on the air force will be much smaller."

"And in Jinzhong City, in addition to more than 2,000 imperial troops and Imperial Army, there are tens of thousands of Chinese people, who still have a lot of food in their hands. If the garrison really reaches the point of being out of food, the military headquarters will allow them to collect some food from local Chinese people, so that the airdrop pressure will be even less!"

"As long as the Jinzhong garrison finds a way to hold on for a month, we can crush the Eighth Route Army's raiding war launched by us with the support of the front army, freeing up a large number of troops to deal with the national rescue army, and the crisis in Jinzhong County will be lifted!"

"That's it. The General Staff immediately contacted Jinzhong County to study how much necessary food the Jinzhong garrison needed for one month, then calculate the amount of food we need to airdrop for them every day, and finally determine the specific airdrop plan according to the attendance of the air force!"

After several days, the intelligence personnel lurking in Jinzhong City of the National Salvation Army sent the news that the Japanese Arsenal and Ammunition Depot were destroyed to the National Salvation Army Command.

Faced with this good news, Zhou Cheng did not show any smile on his face, because there was another news coming together.

After reading the information, Tang Yufeng frowned and analyzed: "Captain, the Japanese should have seen that we wanted to attack their baggage transport team, so he chose to use an airplane to airdrop ammunition to Jinzhong County!"

"The Japanese are too cunning. Although the cost of replenishing ammunition with airplanes is very high, at least there is no need to die. Overall, they are not at a disadvantage!"

Zhou Cheng's expression on his face was very solemn. The Japanese's caution made him realize that the National Salvation Army would use the previous conventional fighting style to deal with them. The difficulty would definitely increase and the opportunity would become less and less.

Tang Yufeng stared at him for a long time before speaking: "Since the Japanese did not follow the routine, they guessed that we wanted to attack their baggage team and felt that we could not do anything to the planes in the sky, so they sent a transport plane to airdrop ammunition to Jinzhong County."

"Then let's use the trick and shoot down the plane to see what else they can do to airdrop ammunition for Jinzhong County."

"Call the transport plane?" Tang Yufeng felt that he heard a huge joke and looked at Zhou Cheng with disbelief on his face.

"Captain, is this decision too exaggerated? Does our National Salvation Army have the strength?"

"Of course!" Zhou Cheng seemed very confident in his decision just now, and explained in response to Tang Yufeng's suspicious eyes.

"Since the Japanese don't drill the pocket array we set on the ground, then we will lay out a pocket array in the sky for them to drill."

"In addition to being equipped with a large number of mountain artillery and large-caliber mortars, the artillery battalion is also equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft machine guns. If you use them together, you should be able to build an air defense position and use air defense firepower to arrange a pocket array in the sky!"

Tang Yufeng immediately thought of a loophole in Zhou Cheng's plan: "Captain, I don't think this method is done!"

"The reason why we can arrange pocket arrays on the ground was that at that time, because the Japanese baggage team had to follow the official road to send ammunition supplies into the county town, we just had to wait for the rabbits on the way they had to pass!"

"There is no road in the sky. The Japanese planes can airdrop ammunition to Jinzhong County from any direction, so we cannot determine the specific flight route of the Japanese transport plane. Even if there is an anti-aircraft machine gun, it is impossible to arrange the pocket array in advance!"

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Old Tang, you have never seen Japanese transport aircraft airdrop supplies. If you have seen it, you will know that the difficulty of airdropping is no less than bombing the ground."

"In order to ensure that the airdrop materials are accurately landed at designated locations and ensure that the airdrop materials department is not blown away by the wind or smashed, the flight direction and flight altitude of the transport plane have strict requirements."

"Jinzhong County is indeed very large for infantry, but not big in front of the plane. It can penetrate the entire county in less than half a minute when flying normally."

"It means that if the Japanese transport aircraft want to airdrop ammunition supply safely into the county town, they must plan the flight direction and airdrop height of the transport aircraft in advance. As long as we observe a few more days and find the airdrop rules of the transport aircraft, we can ambush them on the way they must pass!"

The worry on Tang Yufeng's face did not disappear, and he soon thought of another question: "One more thing!"

"The airdrop ammunition supply for transport aircraft must be carried out during the day. Even if the transport aircraft airdrops at the prescribed height and direction, they will definitely fly at high altitudes before reaching Jinzhong. The range of anti-aircraft machine guns is limited, so our ambush battlefield can only be chosen outside Jinzhong City. It is too close to the city wall, and the Japanese and puppet troops on the top of the city will definitely find ways to organize us to arrange air defense positions outside the city."

Zhou Cheng snorted coldly and replied: "Then we can't help but!"

"It is better to hide before the air defense company opens fire. After the fire is exposed, the only countermeasures that the Japanese can use are to send troops to attack and artillery counterattack."

"We have drawn a certain number of elite troops in advance to block the air defense positions and county towns. The Japanese troops leaving the city will not only not threaten the safety of the air defense company, but will also become our meal!"

"Architecture counterattack is not a problem. When the Air Defense Company participated in the war, the heavy mortar company of the Artillery Battalion and the artillery company of the Shouyang Garrison also participated in the war."

"As long as the Japanese in the city dare to fight back with artillery, I will have a way to eat them."

Tang Yufeng continued to ask: "What if the Japanese army uses poison gas bombs?"

Zhou Cheng smiled: "Although we don't have many gas masks in our hands, it's enough to equip some elite troops."

"This time, when the heavy mortar company destroyed the Japanese ammunition and grain warehouses, it was attacked by Japanese poison gas bombs. Because the soldiers put on gas masks in time, only a dozen soldiers were poisoned because of the slow reaction. The remaining soldiers were all evacuated from the battle safely, which shows that the gas masks are useful to the Japanese poison gas bombs."

"Before the operation, let the soldiers practice how to quickly wear gas masks. After being attacked by poisonous gas bombs, no one in the participating troops will have any accidents again!"

Tang Yufeng was persuaded by Zhou Cheng and immediately took the order: "I will go to the warehouse now to prepare gas masks for the participating troops!"

“Bao…”

Two harsh gunshots suddenly rang outside Jinzhong City. On the top of the city, a Japanese man who was looking out of his head fell to the ground...

"Dadada..." The Japanese reacted quickly, and the sound of a crooked fighter immediately sounded from the top of the city wall.

The bullet rain flew quickly to the attacking position where the gun had just been fired, and the edge of the trench was filled with dust...

Three grenades followed closely to the attacking position where the gun had just been fired. A large amount of soil was blown away with gun smoke, which looked particularly scary...

But the two soldiers who fired the gun had long since shrunk into the trenches and quickly moved around along the trench. No matter how fierce the Japanese machine guns were fired or how accurate the grenade launcher was, they could not be hurt...

The captain of the Japanese army's junior captain happened to patroll the city defense on the top of the city and witnessed the tragic scene of his subordinates being shot in the head. If he hadn't been there, he would have cursed outside the city.

The captain of the garrison garrison in the city saw that the captain was angry and quickly reported: "Sir, this kind of sneak attack has almost never stopped in the past few days."

"The National Salvation Army touched the offensive position at night and burned it in disguise. After dawn, we could not notice their existence. But these ambushers could hide in the dark and stare at the city head. As long as someone showed his body from behind the battlements, they would immediately explode their heads."

"Two imperial troops and three imperial alliance troops have been killed today!"

Nakazo asked back very dissatisfiedly: "Bageyalu, can't you find a way to fight back?"

"If the National Salvation Army continues to kill like this, the morale of the troops will definitely be greatly affected, and the various losses will be more than we can bear!"

The captain quickly explained: "Sir, please calm down. We have thought about all the ways we can think of!"

"We have used light and heavy machine guns to counterattack these days, and some have used grenade launchers to counterattack. But the National Salvation Army hid in the trenches, where there were trenches everywhere. Every time we took action, they moved away!"

"Where are you sending people out of the city to kill the National Savior Army hiding in the offensive position?" Nakasa frowned and continued to ask, obviously very dissatisfied with the Major's answer just now!

The captain shook his head: "We tried it, not only did it work, but it also turned into a large number of soldiers!"

"The enemies who attacked us are all elites carefully selected by the National Salvation Army. Not only are they good at shooting skills, but they are also very strong in combat."

"Every time we attack, they will take the initiative to retreat. Not only will we arrange a large number of booby and landmines on the retreat road to deal with us, but also arrange the main force to ambush our attacking troops a little further away..."

"After three consecutive attacks suffered heavy losses, Bei Zhi had to suspend such meaningless actions!"

After hearing this, Nakazo became even more angry and finally couldn't help but curse: "Bageyalu, you are just a stupid pig. You can't even do anything to hold so many troops in your hand!"

After cursing, Nakazo thought for a while and continued, "Since the counterattack is not working, then we will break the deadlock from the source."

"You just said that the National Salvation Army touched the offensive position under the cover of night and lurked there and held its troops. If we find a way to destroy the offensive position outside the city, they will lose their hiding place, and there will be no situation where the enemy is in darkness and I am in light!"

"Order the troops to break out of the county town immediately and use explosives and grenades to destroy the offensive positions outside the city!"

The captain shook his head again: "I have tried this method, but it won't work!"

"Sending people out of the city during the day can indeed blow up some offensive positions, but outside Tianyihei City, it becomes the world of the national rescue army."

"They touched the attacking position that was blown up by us under the cover of night, and they could repair it soon!"

After hearing this, Nakazo was stunned. He didn't expect that his subordinates had already carried out so many counterattacks and couldn't help asking: "Then have you counterattacked? They are not allowed to repair the offensive position outside the city!"

"I fought back, but the combat effectiveness was very poor, and it was a bit counterproductive!" The captain nodded.

"The light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and almost all the equipment you can use in your hands. Not only did they have no effect, they were hit by the National Salvation Army even more fiercely."

"They not only sent a large number of infantry to approach the city to repair the offensive positions, but also set up artillery outside the city. As soon as our light and heavy machine guns were fired, they used artillery shells to counterattack. As a result, our losses were even greater than theirs, so we could only stop counterattacking!"

A hint of helplessness flashed across Nakasa's face, and he looked at the captain and continued to ask: "Have you tried to use poison gas bounce to counterattack!"

"Try it, but it's useless!" The captain replied helplessly.

"Their artillery positions are very scattered, and they will transfer their positions as soon as the poisonous gas bombs hit. It is impossible for us to keep firing poisonous gas bombs outside the city, and the effect of wind and poisonous gas bombs outside the city will be greatly reduced, resulting in the poisonous gas bombs being very limited in killing the National Salvation Army!"
