If it were any other time, if Captain Nakamura heard his soldiers were so lazy, he would have picked up a stick and beaten them.

But the situation is different now. Because our planes are not strong enough, the planes of the 72nd Brigade have been bombing us continuously in the past week, causing certain casualties to the troops.

After being reorganized into part of the garrison division, some people came from other units. Now the morale is unstable, and Captain Nakamura cannot beat people at will. When he hears such noises while inspecting the positions, he can only endure it.

In addition to this, there was another thing. He heard from the headquarters that the Japanese government and military had put pressure on Li Shaoyi through Nanjing to let him give up the land in Rehe.

According to their previous understanding of the Dragon Country soldiers, no matter how great your victory is on the battlefield, as long as you play politics in private, these Dragon Country troops will retreat sooner or later. It has been like this before, and it will be similar this time.

So when Captain Nakamura saw his men being lazy, he didn't say anything. Perhaps these trenches didn't need to be dug at all, and they would receive news of the other side's surrender in a few days.

"Your Excellency, Captain, your lunch."

Just when this guy was tired of wandering around, his soldiers had already brought lunch. When he saw the two rice balls, Captain Nakamura was furious.

Because of the tight transportation of troops in the rear, and the order from above that small units were not allowed to go to the surrounding villages to prevent being attacked by the Dragon Army, their supplies were getting lower and lower.

The food supply, including that of an infantry colonel like him, was constantly declining. The only thing they had slightly better than ordinary soldiers was a few more pieces of canned meat.

As for the ordinary soldiers, they have been eating rice balls for several days, and a little bit of salt is considered their meal.

"Baga, you want me to eat in this environment?"

Looking at the sun and then at the dust from the trenches around him, Colonel Nakamura really couldn't eat.

"Colonel, we've built a shed for you over there..."

The orderly pointed to a place not far away and said, Colonel Nakamura looked over there and nodded with satisfaction, otherwise he would have slapped him twice.

At this moment, Zhang Haiguang had already brought his men to a place about 2 kilometers away from the Japanese soldiers. His artillery company commander had set the artillery coordinates to the shed.

"Just listen to me. Don't look at all the devils, but if they can rest in that shed, it must be the Japanese commander. Just use that place as the center and fire at the surrounding areas until you run out of ammunition."

Although his training results were excellent, Zhang Haiguang was still cautious when it came to the actual battle, and his first stop was the artillery position.

Twelve 100mm mortars, eight 120mm mortars, and sixteen 80mm mortars.

This is one of the artillery positions, and there are two more like this around.

After all, it is an artillery company composed of two artillery regiments.

Although Zhang Haiguang had never led his men to fight against the Japanese, this guy looked at the records of my brothers fighting against the Japanese. At the beginning, we don’t have to worry about anything and just throw shells at the heads of the Japanese.

There were less than two thousand artillery shells in total. According to Zhang Haiguang's idea, they should all be thrown at the Japanese. There were only more than three thousand people on his position. Wouldn't it be enough to kill him alone with one artillery shell?

Of course, the real battlefield cannot be calculated in this way, but if all the artillery shells were really used up, the Japanese side would definitely be a sea of ​​fire.

"Correct coordinates."

The artillery company commander nodded and raised the blue flag in his hand, and the surrounding artillerymen began to calibrate their coordinates.

The transport and delivery team of hundreds of people at the back is ready. As soon as the mortar starts firing, they will pass the shells to the front one by one.

They have practiced this kind of exercise many times, and usually use artillery shells for practice, without using any other substitutes, just for this moment.

"Report to the commander, Commander Zhao just made a phone call, and they are ready to take orders at any time."

Zhang Haiguang could have attacked just now, but he had to wait for Zhao Jiasheng.

These Japs are really amazing. There is not a single observation post around. Maybe they are too careless, or they think the negotiations in Nanjing are too useful, or they think the 72nd Brigade does not have the strength to attack.

Anyway, no matter what the reason, Zhang Haiguang and his team were able to get within a range of 2 to 3 kilometers and have not been discovered.

"Captain, aren't we waiting for the Air Force? Didn't they say there was a bomber formation coming to help us?"

The artillery company commander suddenly remembered another thing. They never dreamed that they would have the help of airplanes to fight the Japanese. For the Longguo army at that time, help from airplanes was rarer than gold falling from the sky.

"There are only so many devils in front of us. Do we still need the air force? When they arrive, we can just clean up the mess for us. If we are not strong enough, of course we have to wait for them. We have 2,000 rounds of artillery shells ready. What are we waiting for?"

Zhang Haiguang rolled his eyes speechlessly. The plane still had twenty minutes to arrive here, and the Japanese were constantly scouting the surroundings. If we were discovered, this great opportunity would be gone. Even a single gunshot would wake up the Japanese on the opposite side.

The artillery company commander thought about it and agreed.

"Hit me."

Seeing that there were no problems anywhere, Zhang Haiguang immediately issued a combat order. Then a cloud of dust flew up on the position and dozens of artillery shells flew over.

At the same time, on the north and south sides, two artillery positions also opened fire together.

Nearly one hundred artillery shells, most of which were large-caliber heavy artillery with a diameter of more than one hundred millimeters, hit the position of the Nakamura Regiment with a bang.

That poor Colonel Nakamura had his men build a shed for him so that he could eat in a cooler climate. Now both shells exploded within Liang Peng's range, and Colonel Nakamura must have been completely destroyed.

Along with more than a dozen soldiers in the surrounding area, they all boarded the homemade plane. Zhang Haiguang could see clearly that although the area below was obscured by thick smoke and dust, corpses and living people were constantly being blown up a few meters in the air.

Originally, the brothers in the security group were very nervous, after all, they had never been to the battlefield. But when they saw the chaos ahead, they all put their minds at ease. It turned out that this is how war is fought.

We were all staying at the starting point. The Japanese had been blown to pieces. It looked like even the rats underground couldn't survive...
