...

Japanese planes hovered in the sky, and bombs fell down like dumplings.

Da da da da da!

Da da da da da!

Da da da da da!

...

The machine guns on the Japanese plane also fired wildly at the targets on the ground.

At night, the Japanese plane could not come to release its tyranny.

It was dawn, and the Japanese planes hovered over the fallen fortress like flies, releasing their majesty!

Outside the fortress, any location that was considered suspicious by Japanese pilots would either be bombed by bombs or fired by machine guns.

The various teams of the 18th Group Army can only minimize the daytime activities as much as possible.

This will increase the time to harvest the fortress grain and food resources.

Moreover, it also brought some fortresses a chance to breathe.

There were planes hovering in the sky, and there were no land in the Eighth Route Army outside the village. Fortress Village sent puppet troops out of the village to find water.

Of course, the water sources outside the village have been destroyed as much as possible, or there are a large number of obstacle mines on the way to the water sources.

The puppet army in Fortress Village could not obtain water. Except for the sky, there was no water source on the ground.

The only remaining fortress lost hope and surrendered completely.

The 18th Army successfully harvested all the fortresses.

Headquarters of the 18th Army

"Lao Peng, look, this is the list of materials we harvested from the fortress. This is just a rough estimate for the time being. The specific quantity will take some time to count it." The Chief of Staff happily handed the Deputy Commander-in-Chief a very long list.

The deputy commander-in-chief took the list and looked at the quantity of supplies on it, and there was also an excitement on his face: "I really didn't expect that I thought our army could get two months of supplies and food, and it would be enough to support it for three months."

With these three months of food and food resources, coupled with the 18th Army's own autumn harvest, we can have a year of food and clothing this year.

The troops can also seize the time to recover their vitality. If nothing unexpected happens, a large-scale attack war will begin next year.

"Yes, thanks to Xiao Wu, otherwise we might not be able to survive this winter." The Chief of Staff nodded. The seizure of the supplies from these twenty fortresses really greatly solved the shortage of supplies caused by the 18th Army due to the rapid expansion of the troops.

"How is the casualties between the troops and the people?" asked the deputy commander-in-chief.

There are no casualties on this material list.

"The casualties are fine, the troops suffered 709 casualties, and the people suffered 597 casualties." said the Chief of Staff.

Take the fortress, no casualties.

The water source was cut off, and the fortress was in a desperate situation. Seeing that there were no reinforcements to send water, they all surrendered soon.

The main reason is the casualties caused by the Japanese planes. Even if you hide as much as possible during the day, the Japanese pilot's eyes are too vicious.

If it weren't for the misleading of a large number of false targets, the casualties would have to have doubled several times.

Another important reason is that the number of Japanese aircraft is not large and the amount of ammunition carried is limited.

If the frontal battlefield had not restrained too many of their planes, the number of casualties for the military and civilians would have to double several times.

"Yes." The deputy commander-in-chief hmmed.

This number of casualties is actually very, very small.

If the troops attacked the blockade line and attacked the passage according to his previous plan, the casualties at that time would have to be at least five digits.

Moreover, a lot of ammunition and medicine are consumed.

Even, it may not be successful.

"Lao Peng, the amount of sugar in Fortress Village is similar to what we expected. With the sugar at the headquarters, it is a total of 201 pounds." The Chief of Staff said, "I have sent someone to secretly send the 28th Regiment."

"Did you buy sugar when you contact the Kuomintang army?" asked the deputy commander-in-chief.

"It's still under negotiation," said the Chief of Staff, "but even if you can buy it, you probably can't buy too much. White sugar is also very valuable to the other side."

"Buy as much as possible. Next, Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely end the frontal war as soon as possible, and then gather troops to encircle us." The deputy commander-in-chief's expression was serious, "I hope that Wu Ze can severely damage the Japanese plane before Yoshio Shinozuka's next encirclement comes."

"He Shinozuka Yoshio wants to end the frontal war sooner, not so quickly, we have some time to prepare." The Chief of Staff said, "Wu Ze is so smart that he can definitely severely damage the Japanese's fleet in advance."

"You can't be careless. The troops below should prepare for the anti-encirclement and suppression as soon as possible." The deputy commander-in-chief said, "Even if the Japanese have no planes, the huge gap between us and their army is still huge."

"I have given orders." said the Chief of Staff.

World War II Chief Officer

"Sir Yan, maybe, we don't need to risk the supplies donated by the citizens to the 18th Army." A staff officer came over and excitedly asked Lao Yan Dao, the highest commander of the Second World War Zone.

"Oh, is that right? What's going on?" Old Yan looked at the staff officer suspiciously.

"According to the information transmitted from the inside, the 18th Army cut off the water source in the upper reaches of the Wenyang River. More than 20 fortresses below the Wenyang River were in crisis. Yoshio Shinozuka was restrained because most of his troops were restrained, and a lot of troops were lost in the Battle of Wanger Mountain, so he was unable to rescue more than 20 fortresses..." The staff officer did not finish his words.

Lao Yan's eyes widened: "Are you going to tell me that the 18th Army captured these twenty fortresses in one fell swoop?"

It’s the hot summer now, whether it’s a human or a livestock, it’s a day that can’t be separated from water.

The move of the 18th Group Army to cut off water sources is considered a killer weapon.

Fortress, it was an important military ration for the Japanese army to help, and a large amount of grain crops were planted inside.

In front of me, corn and rice are ripe.

If the 18th Army captured more than 20 fortresses in one fell swoop, it would definitely greatly alleviate the urgent need for shortage of materials.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In this way, Lao Yan doesn’t have to bother to send the supplies to them.

After all, the Japanese are very careful in the blockade line, which is not a joke.

"Yes, inside report, more than 20 fortresses have basically surrendered." The staff officer nodded, "Yoto Shinozuka could not rescue the fortresses, so he had to apply for aircraft bombing with the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army, Guangangmura Shinin, but the 18th Army did as much as possible to harvest at night, and the losses were not large."

"That's great, this is really great." Old Yan smashed his punch on the table. "The 18th Army solved the material problem by itself, and they can continue to help our Jinsui Army restrain a large number of Japanese and puppet troops."

"Captain Yan, although the 18th Army solved the crisis of food shortage by itself, the donated materials of the people..." The Chief of Staff looked at Lao Yan.

"Carry all the orders, and our supplies are also very tight." Lao Yan said bluntly.

"If this happens, will it be..."

"Cover it first, let's use it first." Lao Yan said, "If they can break through later, I will give it to you at that time."

The 18th Army captured more than 20 fortresses, and on the surface it was a big hit.

In fact, this will anger Shinozuka Yoshio.

Once Yoshio Shinozuka is freed, he will definitely have to carry out bloody encirclement and suppress the 18th Army.

This batch of supplies cannot be delivered now, and they do not need them for the time being, so let’s use them first.

The 18th Army behind can survive the encirclement of Yoshio Shinozuka, so Old Yan must still support this comrade-in-arms.

"Yes." The Chief of Staff retreated.

Old Yan sat down, lit a cigarette, took a few sips, and looked at the map. He was thinking, if Yoshio Shinozuka had encircled the 18th Army, would he not be able to move his troops or do he come behind Yoshio Shinozuka.

If the troops remained unmoved, the 18th Army would be wiped out. Next, Yoshio Shinozuka would have to deal with his Jinsui Army, and he also lost the fighter opportunity that severely damaged Yoshio Shinozuka.

However, if he came hard behind Yoshino Shinozuka and hurt Yoshino Shinozuka, if the Japanese Fifth Division was re-transferred, Old Yan would have to wet his pants.

The Fifth Division is one of the most capable troops among the seventeen ace divisions of the Japanese, known as the Steel Army!

In the past, half of the Fifth Division swept across Jin Province, and the more than 30 divisions of Lao Yan were so scared that they dared not respond.

If Yoshino Shinozuka hurts and the Fifth Division is transferred back to Jin Province, Lao Yan will never have to live his life.

Station 23

"Deputy Section Chief Zhong and Deputy Section Chief Zhang, I want to follow Moriyama to report on work in Taiyuan. I am not in the station. You two must work together to manage Station 23." Pu You cleaned up and said to Wu Ze and Zhang Jijun.

Puyou’s fishing behavior is not over yet.

The military spy was still placed in the interrogation room of the intelligence department by Puyou.

There are many people who want to be the head of the intelligence department, and there are still many people trying to pry open the mouth of this military spy.

On the surface, Pu You is very happy that so many people are willing to work hard.

Secretly, Pu You had ordered people to record all these people.

He was not at Station 23. He was on the surface to report on his work, but in fact he colluded with Moriyama Otani.
