Several paratroopers also jumped down along with the supplies. These people were not there to fight, but to activate the communication equipment. If the two sides could not communicate, neither the air support nor the artillery support would be able to hit the target accurately.

"Report to the commander, the liaison soldier of the 72nd Army..."

Two soldiers, carrying communication equipment, quickly came to Captain Zhou's side. Forty minutes had passed since they sent the soldiers to look for supplies.

Through the descriptions of these two people, Captain Zhou also knew what was thrown down. There were two large boxes filled with food and drinks. Li Shaoyi knew that these people would definitely not be able to eat while fleeing. When the Japanese came later, it would be useless to be hungry, so they had to eat first.

All that was left were bullets and Czech light machine guns. Li Shaoyi did not airlift submachine guns to them. Even if they got these things, some people probably wouldn't be able to use them. So giving them more bullets and Czech light machine guns was the best way to increase their combat effectiveness.

"Thank you, Commander Li. With this little gadget you gave us, we will definitely be able to hold on here."

Captain Zhou picked up a Czech light machine gun. The oil on it was not dry yet. It was obviously imported from abroad. It was completely different from the domestic imitations they used. Not only did that thing have bullet jams, but it also had all kinds of problems. If it paused for a moment during a battle, you would lose your life.

But the ones imported from foreign countries are different. From the production process to the materials, they are much better than our domestic ones. Their regiment was not allocated some like other regiments. During the training ground, we have never heard of bullet jams.

"Report to the commander, in about half an hour, the Japs will rush over from that direction, with a number of about a battalion."

The sound of aerial reconnaissance came from the intercom, and the liaison officer immediately reported to Captain Zhou. As for how to fight the war, that was Captain Zhou's business.

"Hurry up, hurry up, we have everything we need. If we still can't beat the devils later, don't call yourself a man."

Seeing that his men were a little panicked, Captain Zhou fired a shot into the sky, and everyone calmed down. Come to think of it, there was nothing wrong with it. We all have one head on two shoulders, so how much more powerful can the Japanese be than us?

In the past, everyone said that the Japanese had good weapons and equipment. Now we have enough bullets and have just added forty Czech light machine guns. For their infantry regiment of more than a thousand people, the firepower has been greatly enhanced. In addition, there are more than a hundred Mauser pistols. Combined with the holsters, the speed is not slow either.

The Kaga Battalion of the 26th Division was not far from Commander Zhou and his men at this moment. During the bombing just now, his battalion did not suffer too many attacks, mainly because they had entered the woods at that time. The planes in the sky did not discover them, but instead bombed the 31st Brigade behind them severely. It was said that there were more than a thousand deaths.

The division commander scolded the Japanese Air Force and ordered them to send out escort fighters as soon as possible. According to the current frequency, an estimated 72-ton bomber would arrive every two to three hours. If the bombing continued like this, the 26th Division would have suffered heavy casualties before reaching Tianjin, and there would be no point in fighting a war.

In addition to scolding the Air Force, the division commander also ordered the vanguard Kaga Battalion to increase the speed of the entire army. No matter what kind of enemy is in front of them, they must rush all the way. Now intelligence shows that those who are fleeing in front are all from the 29th Army, and they are no match for us at all.

When they came into contact with the 313th Regiment just now, everyone in Kaga's Battalion fought very hard. With just two charges, they immediately defeated a regiment of the 29th Army, leaving only some scattered troops fleeing in all directions. In the eyes of Captain Kaga, this infantry regiment in front of them was of the same kind.

"Reporting to His Excellency the Captain, at the intersection ahead, the Dragon Army has organized a resistance line."

Captain Kaga rode his warhorse with a menacing look on his face. After hearing the report from his men, he showed a disdainful expression. Just now, all kinds of defensive measures were in place there, but they couldn't withstand our two rounds of attacks at all. Do you think that if you temporarily built a defensive position, you will be more powerful than before?

"Let Captain Kubo lead his men to break through him. I only give him ten minutes. Artillery cover."

Captain Kaga said with a look of contempt that in his opinion the people of the 29th Army could not be considered real soldiers. If such people could stop us for an hour, it would mean that we had already been defeated.

Two Type 92 infantry guns and four 60mm mortars were immediately pulled out and began to bombard Commander Zhou's troops in front. Without any interference, the Japanese artillery fired shells very accurately.

After a while, Captain Zhou's position was filled with thick smoke. Fortunately, the liaison officer from the 72nd Army told them how to avoid the first wave of artillery bombardment. Everyone stayed twenty meters behind the trench and waited until the Japanese artillery stopped before entering the position.

When Captain Zhou saw the landing point of the Japanese artillery shells, he was also shocked. If all the brothers had stayed in the trenches just now, one or two hundred people would have been killed by now. No wonder the brothers of the 313th Regiment did not hold on.

"Flying Eagle, Flying Eagle, I'm Lone Wolf Two. I'm currently preparing to resist the attack of the Japanese army. Are there any bombing forces nearby?"

When the Japanese soldiers were about to launch an attack, the communicators even landed on the surrounding air force. Although there was no air force specially assigned to them over the war zone, if there was one, wouldn't we get an advantage?

"There are no bombers, but our two fighters will arrive soon."

Fifteen seconds later, the pilot's voice came from the headset. Two fighter jets were cruising nearby, each carrying four 25-kilogram bombs, in addition to machine guns on both sides of them.

"Brothers, there will be a good show to watch later. See how our air force can help. Before the air force attack is over, no one should expose their firepower."

After hearing the liaison officer's words, Captain Zhou immediately became cheerful. The 72nd Army had invited them to watch its exercises before. He had seen it clearly when the Air Force fighter planes were making their lowest attack. On the hundreds-meter-long battle line, the mannequins were strafed by Air Force bullets, their limbs flying everywhere. Now he was going to see the real thing...
