Chapter 950 This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible.
After finishing his lunch, Ono peeked out to observe the situation across the way. When he saw the Jin-Sui Army soldiers eating compressed biscuits and canned food, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
After both sides replenished their ammunition, they continued to exchange fire in the same manner as before.
Just as Ono poked his head out to check the situation, a shell flew straight at him and exploded right next to him.
His face was filled with disbelief, and he was internally screaming, "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
He had previously verified that our side would not launch artillery fire against individual infantrymen, so why is he not playing by the rules now? This is cheating.
Meanwhile, our company commander, Hua, was carefully observing the enemy's position through binoculars. Just now, he had commanded a recoilless rifle to successfully take down a Japanese sergeant.
Trading a recoilless rifle shell for an ordinary Japanese soldier would indeed be a loss, but if it were exchanged for a junior officer of the enemy, that would be a completely different story.
Especially for Japanese sergeants, sergeant majors, and corporals, according to the enemy's promotion system, these officers were basically promoted from ordinary soldiers based on their combat merits.
Those incompetent people with connections usually won't stay on the front lines to die.
An enemy sergeant is usually a sergeant, commanding more than ten subordinates, which is a very important position.
Taking down this sergeant will significantly weaken the enemy's strength.
Although the enemy can, as is customary, quickly promote a veteran to replace them on the battlefield, losing an elite veteran is not so easy to replace.
All we had to give up was a recoilless shell, which could be produced on the production line in about five minutes, costing no more than ten dollars.
This is the terrifying aspect of strong industrial power; it used to be something the Japanese used to convert, such as how many bullets.
Although this approach may not show immediate results, in the long run, the invaders' army will become increasingly weak, and China will surely prevail.
The recoilless rifle team was also very satisfied with their results. Then, the two firing personnel quickly changed firing positions to prevent enemy grenade launcher retaliation.
After more than a year of tactical drills, we have developed a standard set of tactics for the use of recoilless rifles, which can maximize the effectiveness of this man-portable artillery.
This is one of the reasons why we dared to launch a large-scale attack on the enemy's fortified cities; otherwise, relying solely on infantry would have resulted in too many casualties.
The battle that followed was quite interesting. The Japanese soldiers saw that we were not playing the war game and had even added recoilless rifles to the exchange of fire, and they had no good way to counter it.
The only weapon still somewhat useful was the grenade launcher, but at such a distance, and with so many of our mortars watching us, we dared not make any rash moves.
Captain Kobayashi observed the entire battle from the city wall. To put it bluntly, the Jin-Sui Army's tactics involved bombarding people with artillery shells, which was impossible to counter.
However, this old Japanese devil was no pushover either; he had already come up with a good plan to catch our side off guard.
Thus, the fighting continued intermittently on both sides, with large amounts of supplies being replenished to the front lines. Of course, the Japanese side also had a large number of troops, which were thus depleted.
At night, in order to annoy the enemy, Commander Zhang would fire several flares and mortar shells in the direction of the Japanese every hour, just to keep the enemy from sleeping.
The Japanese defenders didn't dare to gamble; if our side launched a large-scale attack while they were off guard, they would be at a disadvantage.
After a night of this, the soldiers of the Jin-Sui Army got a good night's sleep, but the Japanese soldiers were in a terrible state, with almost everyone having dark circles under their eyes.
While having breakfast, Regiment Commander Zhang and Chief of Staff Sun were discussing yesterday's battle results. Judging from their expressions, they had made a great profit.
"Hey Lao Sun, you're really something else, coming up with such a despicable idea. Those Japanese devils probably didn't sleep a wink last night."
"In particular, the artillery was moved to fire probing attacks on various parts of the Japanese city walls at Languan. The Japanese defenders dared not gamble and could only defend tightly."
Chief of Staff Sun picked up a boiled egg, swallowed it in two bites, and then picked up a bowl of soy milk to drink.
"This is nothing. I've devised several plans for this day, and I'm sure each one will make our enemies suffer terribly."
Commander Zhang was eating meat buns, but the fish buns were the ones he ate first, and he never got tired of them no matter how many he ate.
"Old Sun, you don't need to worry about that. According to the timeline, the division commander will lead the main force to arrive this afternoon. We can just follow orders then, which will save us trouble."
"I've observed it carefully these past two days, and given the fortification of Languan, only heavy howitzers could possibly take it down."
"But speaking of which, the food provided by the Eighth Route Army is really luxurious. Each person gets an egg in the morning, and our whole regiment needs two thousand eggs in total."
"Goodness, if this were before, even if we had the money to buy them, there wouldn't be so many available on the market, let alone the fact that we've been here all this time."
"This shows just how strong the Eighth Route Army's logistical support was. If they could eat like this for half a year, their physical fitness would be beyond imagination."
"Why were the Japanese so fierce when they first invaded? Besides their advanced weaponry, their adequate logistical support was also a very important factor."
At this moment, Chief of Staff Sun leaned close to Regiment Commander Zhang and whispered, "Regiment Commander, wouldn't it be wonderful if our troops always had this kind of treatment?"
Upon hearing this, Regiment Commander Zhang was greatly alarmed. He hurriedly went to the entrance of the command post, glanced around, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that no one was eavesdropping.
Then he summoned his personal bodyguard and ordered him to have men stand guard outside before sitting down and saying with a wry smile:
"Old Sun, you can just say these things to me, but don't go around telling everyone. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, we'll both be in deep trouble."
Seeing Commander Zhang's caution, Chief of Staff Sun burst into laughter, and even jokingly remarked:
"Commander, no wonder there are rumors that you are brave but reckless. It seems that the rumors are not unfounded. You still can't see the situation clearly."
Hearing his chief of staff make such sarcastic remarks, Regiment Commander Zhang didn't care at all; it wouldn't hurt him.
