Half-kneeling in front of Ye Anran, Xia Qiancheng suddenly felt as if there was sand in her eyes, and she felt like she wanted to cry.
She was stunned for about half a minute. Xia Qiancheng took out the gauze and anti-inflammatory medicine and gently wiped Ye Anran's wound with a cotton swab.
Ye Anran is calm and calm.
Xia Qiancheng's heart couldn't help but tighten every time he wiped it.
It's hard to imagine what he went through.
What happened to those wounded and wounded soldiers?
Xia Qiancheng helped Ye Anran clean the wound and bandage it with gauze.
She slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Anran, "You have to be careful."
"Thank you, Miss Xia."
Xia Qiancheng took out a pair of cloth shoes from her pocket. She shyly handed the cloth shoes to Ye Anran's arms, then ran away with the medical kit.
Ye Anran was a little confused. When he looked at Xia Qiancheng again, she followed the rescue team and disappeared around the corner of the trench.
He looked down at the cloth shoes Xia Qiancheng gave him.
Is this girl falling in love with us?
Ye Anran couldn't wait to try on the new shoes. Not to mention, they were very comfortable and fit well.
Strange, how does this girl know what size shoes he wears?
Thinking of the day when Xia Qiancheng took the antiques passed down from her ancestors to the pawn shop and exchanged them for oceans, her fingers were pricked with needle holes.
Ye Anran couldn't help but be moved.
How dare he covet happiness when the country is not at peace?
If this were in the 21st century, he would have married three matchmakers and six people as his wife.
The logistics support reserve team renovated the transportation trenches in Gujiadian to Jingxing, Fulalji, Sanjianfang, Angangxi and Hecheng.
A part of the soldiers of the logistics support reserve team formed the stretcher bearers of the rescue team. Under the guidance of the rescue team, they carried the wounded soldiers back to Crane City.
After the sound of artillery stopped, Ye Anran arranged for a regiment to be responsible for guarding the Gujiadian position.
Others use this time to catch up and rest.
Ye Anran also had time to squint for a while. He knew that Gujiadian, where the troops were located, could not give up and could only hold on.
Once Gujiadian is abandoned and the Japanese set up artillery positions here to coordinate with their aircraft, the second and third lines of defense will soon collapse.
Under the saturation bombardment of the artillery brigade, the 7th Brigade, which was trying to capture Gujiadian, fled in panic.
Donai Station Utsunomiya camp.
Kenji Sakata, commander of the 7th Brigade, broke into the base camp in disgrace.
Standing in front of Suzuki Furayaki, Sakata Kenji bowed his head in shame and apologized: "General, I'm sorry."
"I, I failed to capture the Gujiadian Highlands."
Suzuki is very annoyed.
In front of many officers, he reprimanded Sakata Kenji, "You are a brigade, but you can't take a piece of high ground guarded by the Northeast Army. You are simply a stupid pig of the Great Neon Empire!!"
Many brigade-level officers looked at Sakata Kenji.
These people who watch the excitement and take it lightly have not yet participated in the battle.
In their eyes, the failure of the battle for Gujiadian must be due to commander Kenji Sakata's dereliction of duty! !
They were well-dressed and looked at the incompetent Kenji Sakata with sarcastic eyes.
In hand-to-hand combat, the Japs were quite confident.
The 38-type rifles they held were longer than traditional rifles, nearly 1.68 meters with bayonets included.
The length of the rifle and bayonet gave them a certain advantage in hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield.
Kenji Sakata lost in hand-to-hand combat.
It is tantamount to discrediting the army of the Great Neon Empire.
Kenji Sakata felt very aggrieved. He tried to explain: "General, the Northeastern Army did not use guns with bayonets, nor did they use broadswords. They used shovels."
"That shovel is so sharp that it can split a person in half in an instant."
"Last night, all the 9th Infantry Regiment that launched the attack were killed. Our 7th Brigade lost more than 3,000 people, and not a single wounded soldier left the Gujiadian position alive."
"At five o'clock in the morning, my 18th Infantry Regiment, which was preparing to attack the Gujiadian position again, encountered heavy shelling."
"More than half of the casualties occurred in fifteen minutes. After two hours of shelling, only two people from our 18th Regiment were left alive!"
The war room was silent.
Anyone who hears this data will feel a chill down their spine.
All the Japanese officers present felt that this was a bit outrageous.
Even if a fool were to command a large army in battle, so many people would not be sacrificed.
What's more, Kenji Sakata graduated from the Army Command Academy in Kyoto.
He was able to rise from a captain to a brigade commander. There was an element of luck in this, but definitely not much.
He definitely has the strength.
Kenji Sakata ignored the suspicious looks of many officers and continued:
"General, we lost nearly 7,000 people in total in a positional battle. I only had one brigade and only one squadron left."
"This is definitely not us sneaking around, it's the enemy being too crazy."
"In the early morning, they had at least sixty large-caliber artillery pieces bombarding my forward position!"
Kenji Sakata's face was covered with mud. He hoped that Suzuki would not underestimate the enemy.
Suzuki Fu Liang frowned, he was very angry.
He didn't even listen to a word of Sakata Kenji's words. He just saw Sakata Kenji's incompetence from this explanation.
"Since your unit has been transformed from a brigade into a squadron, well, you will be the squadron leader from now on."
…
Sakata Kenji was confused. He did not expect such a result.
Then there was mocking laughter in the war room.
The captain of the 24th Infantry Regiment and the Armored Infantry Regiment who successfully ambushed the 102nd Division's 4th Independent Brigade last night was the happiest.
"Brigade commander, you should say that the Northeastern Army has a thousand artillery pieces!"
Takasaki, who temporarily took over the position of captain of the 24th Infantry Regiment, laughed.
Kenji Sakata turned around and glared at Takasaki fiercely, "Baga, as a colonel, what qualifications do you have to talk to the general like this?"
Takasaki: "If you win the battle, I will definitely respect you."
"But you lost miserably. Ye Anran's 101st Division only lost 2,500 people. You paid for it with one brigade and more than 7,000 people!!"
Kenji Sakata was speechless.
Suzuki Furyang on the side remained silent, but Sakata Kenji knew clearly.
The division commander acquiesced to Gao Qi's words.
To use an old saying in Daxia, this is called a down-and-out phoenix not as good as a chicken.
He had no choice but to endure it.
Gao Qi stood up with a roar, "Division Commander, our 24th Infantry Regiment is willing to launch an attack on the Gujiadian position. Please give us your instructions!"
Fu Liang Suzuki really needs such a team that dares to take the lead.
He looked at Takasaki and smiled slightly.
The young man has the potential to be a general!
"Order your troops to coordinate with the armored regiment to attack Gujiadian Highlands!!"
"Hai!"
Takasaki responded, walked up to Kenji Sakata, and the two looked at each other.
"Brigade commander, let me teach you how to fight positional offensive and defensive battles!"
"hehe!"
"Takasaki-kun, you'd better not get too proud too early."
Takasaki only thought that this was Kenji Sakata's incompetence. He ignored it and left the Utsunomiya base camp.
Ye Anran squinted for fifteen minutes.
Sleeping on the front line always made him feel very uneasy.
He called the signal soldier, picked up the phone and hung up the phone to Jin Yinan.
"I'm Ye Anran."
The call was connected, and Ye Anran announced his home address.
"Vice Chairman Ye."
Jin Yinan quickly responded, "Are you okay?"
Under the shelling and bombing in the past few days, Jin Yinan was a little worried about the situation on the front line.
"How many grease guns are there now?"
"The two production lines are currently operating at full capacity. Currently, there are 25,000 butter submachine guns and 200,000 rounds of 11.43 mm bullets that have passed the test."
"There are seven 105mm field guns that have just been formed, and they have 2,000 rounds of high-explosive armor-piercing projectiles."
Ye Anran's forehead wrinkles disappeared instantly.
This was probably the only good news he heard on the battlefield.
The proportion of high-explosive bombs is almost proportional to the current consumption of the artillery brigade.
Ye Anran was very pleased.
As long as there is strong artillery support and a steady stream of ammunition, he can reduce the damage our army suffers when defending and attacking.
It can greatly reduce combat attrition.
"I will immediately notify the artillery brigade to pick up the 105 mm field gun from you. You hand all the shells to Lei Suisheng!"
"Also, have you done any research on flares?"
Jin Yinan: "Vice Chairman Ye, I don't know much about that thing."
"Take five thousand grease guns and give them to the logistics support reserve team and send them to the Gujiadian position."
"yes!"
Jin Yinan responded, and when he hung up the phone, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Under the leadership of Ye Anran, he could hardly tell whether they were Neon people or Daxia people.
Following Ye Anran's order, he began to select five thousand grease guns.
Ye Anran called Lei Suisheng and Ma Jinshan.
One was about the transportation of heavy artillery.
One is about redistributing submachine guns and ammunition to the troops.
Ye Anran equipped each of the soldiers who participated in the battle last night with a grease gun.
He did not intend to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese again.
We must learn the German way and use submachine guns to deal with Japanese bayonets!
After he arranged the logistics, Ye Anran entered the universal tool box consciously.
NPC: "Host, how nice to see you again."
"..."
Ye Anran stood opposite the NPC, looked at the NPC who was witty and felt that he had a high level of humor, and said with a wry smile:
"It seems you want me to die soon?"
NPC: "Host, if you are sacrificed, I will have no meaning and value in my existence."
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Can you make flares for firing 105mm artillery?"
If Ye Anran wants to take the initiative in the field, he must have the flare in his hands.
The casualties last night were partly due to the physical strength of the soldiers.
In part, it was because the Japanese had mastered the flares.
The flares emitted bright light under conditions favorable to them, which was a disaster for the unprepared Northeastern Army.
NPC: "I'll give you a flare manual."
Ye Anran received the manual and looked at the NPC with disdain, "Do you understand my anti-aircraft cannon?"
"Sorry, not yet, but I'm trying."
"Work hard!"
Ye Anran scolded the NPC, and took out the instructions for the high-explosive illumination from his arms when no one was paying attention.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the logistics support reserve team delivered 5,000 butter submachine guns.
and a hundred thousand rounds of ammunition boxes full of ammunition.
Ye Anran handed the instructions to the logistics reserve team and asked them to give them to Jin Yinan for study.
After the soldiers of the 1st Independent Brigade got their guns, they immediately felt no longer sleepy.
Ye Anran rearranged combat tasks.
He told the brothers the detailed combat methods of trench warfare.
Half past three in the afternoon.
A cry that the Japanese were coming resounded through the Gujiadian position.
