Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Xie Zhiyu blew out a puff of smoke and continued,

"You two, our situation is not good. The friendly forces around us are not strong enough, and we may be isolated and helpless at any time."

Carter understood what he meant and asked,

"Captain Xie, do you want to retreat?"

Xie Zhiyu shook his head.

"It is a soldier's duty to obey orders. Even if I wanted to withdraw, the higher-ups wouldn't agree. Once the victory telegram was sent out, the 1st Temporary Regiment became the benchmark. Even if it was just to boost morale, the army and division headquarters would order us to hold on."

Hu Zhenhua immediately started cursing.

"The Central Army is fucking useless. They're incompetent at everything and are the best at boasting! That Huang Kegong next door is always looking up to the sky, acting like he's the best in the world, but when it comes to fighting, his true colors are revealed. What a piece of shit!"

Carter also found it incredible. There were many veterans in the 1st Temporary Regiment. Could it be that the Central Army was worse than them?

"Hu, tell me about all the shit going on in the Central Army."

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. When it's almost time for lunch, I'll take you to visit Huang Kegong and his group!"

"Alright!"

Xie Zhiyu was very anxious and quickly advised,

"It's not safe outside, you two should stay at home!"

Hu Zhenhua did not explain, but asked,

"Thank you, Captain. If you have any difficulties in holding on, please feel free to ask. I will definitely help you solve any problems I can!"

Xie Zhiyu knew that he couldn't persuade Lao Hu, so he said,

"If you must go out, I'll send a company with you, and you can bring a few armored vehicles!"

Carter didn't want to make a big deal and refused directly.

"We're just going to take a quiet look. Don't make a big fuss. Tell us about your difficulties!"

Xie Zhiyu was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"The ammunition is being used up too quickly. Can you give us more?"

"We consumed so much ammunition in this battle!"

"I haven't got the exact figures yet, but a conservative estimate is that at least 300 million rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition were consumed!"

Hu Zhenhua almost bit his tongue.

He asked Xie Zhiyu to make a false report, but you can't be so false. You are simply treating Carter as a fool!

According to Hu Zhenhua's estimate, from last night to now, at most more than 40 rounds of ammunition have been consumed.

Because Lao Hu was defending the bunker by himself, the six heavy machine guns were fighting desperately, but they only fired less than 5 rounds of bullets.

Other bunkers don’t dare to be so extravagant!

Carter thought the number 300 million was normal.

According to statistics from the US military, during the entire Pacific War, it took four tons of ammunition, including more than 1 bullets, to kill one Japanese soldier.

Please note that this consumption refers to the ammunition fired and does not include losses during transportation and other aspects.

If we look at it from a broader perspective, such as the amount of munitions produced during the entire war, it takes an average of 2.5 rounds of ammunition to kill one enemy soldier.

Hu Zhenhua frowned and scolded,

"Why don't you save your money, you bastard? At this rate, you'll be fighting the enemy with bayonets in less than two days!"

Hu Zhenhua pointed at his nose and continued to curse,

"Don't learn from the surrounding guards, kid! If I find out you're overpaying and reselling the bullets, I'll be shot!"

Xie Zhiyu looked aggrieved and threw his hat to the ground.

"Chairman, swear to God! If I embezzled even one bullet, you can just shoot me! Our regiment really consumed so many bullets. If you don't believe me, I'll do the math for you!"

Xie Zhiyu looked around and asked,

"Who's in charge of this bunker?"

James stood up immediately.

"Reporting to the regiment commander, squad leader Makino is in charge. He is now in a meeting at company headquarters, so I will be filling in!"

"How many bullets has your class used from yesterday until now?"

James took out the ammunition book, flipped through it and said,

"A total of about 5 were consumed!"

Xie Zhiyu turned to Hu Zhenhua,

"Chairman, you heard it all, right? Just your squad alone consumes so much, what about the entire regiment?"

Hu Zhenhua snatched the notebook from James's hand and said in disbelief,

"We consumed so much in one night?"

Walnut, the ammunition loader, chimed in,

"That's a lot of ammunition, isn't it? Last night I brought in eighteen boxes of ammunition, 600 bullets per box. Our machine gun crew fired relatively few rounds, but we still used up nine boxes."

The reason why there were fewer beatings was because Hu Zhenhua was sleeping in the second half of the night.

There were Walnut's fingerprints on the ammunition book, which meant he had indeed received 18 boxes of ammunition!

After the war, Makino counted the remaining ammunition.

Hu Zhenhua rubbed his eyebrows and said with emotion,

"One cannon shot is worth a fortune! This saying is true!"

He suddenly stood up, held Xie Zhiyu's hand, and said apologetically,

"Captain Xie, I misunderstood you. I apologize!"

"Chairman, you're being too polite. Let's discuss how to replenish our ammunition."

How to add?

Of course I asked Carter for it.

Hu Zhenhua turned around and said with a smile,

"Carter, when will the equipment for the division you promised to assist me arrive? Could you please ship some of the ammunition over first?"

Carter's brows jumped and he quickly retorted,

"I'm just reporting to the higher-ups, I'm not making any promises. Don't confuse right and wrong!"

"Your report will definitely succeed! How about sending a telegram to ask them, and also report our results to those officials to make them happy! The enemy is about to retaliate, so we must prepare early..."

Hu Zhenhua kept talking for a while, and Carter was fed up with it, so he sent a telegram to inquire.

Less than 20 minutes later, he returned again and said helplessly,

"The higher-ups are a bit skeptical about our results and want to send someone to verify. I'm sure Jimla will come in person!"

Hu Zhenhua looked indifferent.

"Just check it out. We didn't make any false reports anyway. Oh, and we have video evidence as well."

Hu Zhenhua looked at Zuo Gongming who was recording the video and asked,

"You've recorded everything from yesterday afternoon until now, right?"

"I didn't sleep all night and even recorded your snoring."

Hu Zhenhua's face darkened.

"Bullshit! I never snore when I sleep, you must have heard it wrong!"

"Yes, yes, I may have heard it wrong!"

Carter laughed.

"Whether you're snoring or not, we'll know after watching the video!"

If it is an old-fashioned camera, it can only record images, but the one in Zuo Gongming's hand can also record sound synchronously!

Only special equipment is needed to restore the scene at that time.

Hu Zhenhua laughed.

"Hide all the videotapes when you get back. They are my personal belongings!"

……

Jim arrived quickly. The C47 transport plane he was riding in landed directly in the central open space of the temporary 1st Regiment camp.

Carter knew what he meant. He was simply worried that the temporary group would cheat.

This guy was very brave. He changed into a priest's outfit and went to the battlefield to pray for the fallen soldiers.

The soldiers of the Red Army were still searching for the bodies of the fallen and placing them on wooden carts to take them away.

On the battlefield, patches of soil were dyed bright red, and some were even black.

He walked through almost the entire vast battlefield.

Jimla also wanted to go to the place where the 105 artillery was bombarding, but the sentry did not allow him to get close.

Even from a distance, Jimla could still smell the strong smell of blood and decay.

The war was quite brutal!

What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.

This intelligence chief came and went quickly.

No matter how reluctant Hu Zhenhua was, he still handed over some of the videotapes.

Because with them, we can better convince those officials in Congress!

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two sides began the body handover ceremony.

On the side of the Temporary 1st Regiment, Second Battalion Commander Zhang Dashan served as the representative.

On the Red Army side, there is Guan Gu, the commander of the new 2nd Regiment.

Although the New 2nd Regiment is about to be disbanded, the implementation has not yet begun.

Hu Zhenhua lay on the top of the bunker and watched the handover ceremony.

The two sides stood on both sides with solemn expressions.

In order to express respect for the fallen soldiers, Zhang Dashan arranged for a military band to play solemn music.

After both parties signed the handover agreement, Guan Gu walked to the rows of bodies, his mouth twitching slightly, and he was obviously extremely sad.

These bodies are the last batch.

Suddenly, Guan Gu shouted loudly,

"Brothers! Follow me home!"

Zhang Dashan stood straight and shouted loudly,

"salute!"

The soldiers of the 1st Temporary Regiment, whether at the handover site or in the bunker, stood straight and saluted!

After the stretcher was lifted, Zhang Dashan roared,

"Fire a gun! Farewell to the heroes!"

Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains.

Why should I return home wrapped in my horse's hide?

The hero's soul returns to the place where he lives.

The noble spirit will last forever between heaven and earth.

Hu Zhenhua's thoughts fell into the long river of history amid the sound of gunfire.

Opium War!

Sino-Japanese War!

Anti-Japanese War!

After being bent for more than 100 years, the Chinese people's backbone can finally straighten up again!

But the price paid was extremely heavy.

The backwardness of culture and technology is not scary; what is scary is that the people have lost their energy and spirit.

Suddenly, a roar from afar brought Hu Zhenhua back to reality.

"Where's the plane? Where's the plane!"

Although the 1st Temporary Regiment has been promoting that aircraft can take off and land in the camp, no one has ever seen it.

Jimla's arrival today was a game-changer! It was a perfect advertisement for the Temporary 1st Regiment.

Soon, Hu Zhenhua found out the reason.

The owner of that roar was Li Nian, the leader of the neighboring regiment. His entire army was wiped out, and he escaped almost naked.

He was so scared that he wanted to leave immediately!

For penniless people like this, there is only one end: to dig trenches.

Hu Zhenhua didn't pay too much attention to him because Wang Ernao would take care of them clearly.

That guy has an ability that even Hu Zhenhua admires: he can even squeeze oil out of stones!

With this skill, he has caused a lot of harm to the people in the past. Now allowing him to extend his hand to corrupt officials can be regarded as a way to rectify the workplace for the higher-ups.
