As the top commander of the warehouse, the Army Lieutenant Colonel must consider the overall situation.
Although the 150,000 rounds of machine rifle bullets left behind by the division headquarters seemed to be very rich, they had no supply capacity in the warehouse and had to use less.
This was only the second day, and only half of it had been used. It was still far away from the seven days and nights required by the theater headquarters. He could not let the soldiers fight with the Japanese army's bullets and bullets with their flesh and blood in the next few days.
Fight it!
However, the Japanese army's offensive was fierce. If they did not suppress it with machine guns and allowed their infantry to approach the warehouse, they would be exploded if they were not careful, which would also be a situation of destruction.
The lieutenant colonel, who rarely smoked, lit a cigarette and paced back and forth in the observation post on the top floor.
Obviously, facing this dilemma of multiple choice, he was calm but also a little anxious.
"Where is Tang Dao? What is he doing?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel, who had been thinking for a while, finally spoke.
"He should still be shooting Japanese soldiers in the fighting position right now! When I passed by at that time, he had already killed seven Japanese soldiers. I don't know where this guy came from. I even
I couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy clearly, but he was able to hit him with one shot. It's amazing." Yang Ruifu's eyes flashed with surprise.
I have never seen or heard of an Army Major who is so strong in single combat and has been in the army for ten years. I didn't expect that such a talent would suddenly fall into the hands of the 1st Battalion of the 524th Regiment on the eve of the war.
, it’s like pie in the sky.
"Haha, Ruifu, if you only regard him as the strongest warrior, it would be a waste of resources." Hearing Tang Dao's achievements, the Army Lieutenant Colonel, although he was mentally prepared, could not help but frown slightly and then shook his head.
Said: "In time, when he has greater command power, he will become a nightmare for the Japanese commanders."
"Yes! I believe it too." The major also nodded. "This guy is an all-rounder."
"Correspondent, ask Tang Dao and Lei Xiong to run over. I need their opinions." The Army Lieutenant Colonel looked outside at the scorching battlefield shrouded in smoke and hail of bullets, and took a deep drag on his cigarette.
.......
"This is the problem before us now, what do you two think?" The Army Lieutenant Colonel looked at the two capable subordinates with smoke-filled faces and got straight to the point.
"I suggest that the machine guns of each infantry company cease fire for the time being, and use our machine gun company and the infantry fire of each company to suppress them, and wait until the Japanese army is close before opening fire again." Lei Xiong was the first to express his suggestion.
Obviously, the rapid consumption of ammunition made Lei Xiong, who was usually carefree and didn't care about it, also feel the crisis.
Once he runs out of bullets, his machine gun battery will be the first to bear the brunt. Heavy machine guns and mortars, no matter how powerful the machine guns are, they can only become a pile of scrap metal without bullets.
"I also agree to let the machine guns cease fire first, but not only the light machine guns of each company, but also the machine guns and heavy machine guns, including mortars and machine guns. They are not allowed to fire unless it is absolutely necessary." Tang Dao was even more fierce than Lei Xiong.
Determined.
"And I suggest that the infantry of each infantry company first use the 38 rifles and bullets captured from the Japanese army, so that even if they are consumed, they can be replenished."
"What do you mean?" The three officers were slightly stunned.
Then he realized what Tang Dao's supplement meant.
Tang Dao wanted to feed the war with war and obtain ammunition supplies from the killed Japanese troops, but in that case, the Japanese troops had to be placed in front of the front-line trenches.
This was more risky than the three people could accept when the Japanese troops approached.
"The Japanese cannot invest too much troops. If all the continuous fire weapons of our army open fire, even if they get as close as 30 meters, they can only watch helplessly and cannot take a step further." Tang Dao, however, held a weapon.
I drew a simple topographic map of the warehouse with a stick of burnt charcoal on the ground, and I had a confident plan.
The lieutenant colonel, major, and captain all had served in the military for many years. They instantly realized that Tang Dao was still making a fuss about the location of the warehouse.
The warehouse with a width of 60 meters and a depth of 25 meters left the Japanese army with a limited attack area. The Japanese army, which had suffered heavy losses yesterday, had gained experience and it was impossible for them to devote 700 to 800 infantrymen at once to engage in the so-called decisive battle.
Therefore, we can only adopt this refueling tactic, using squadrons as units, squadron by squadron to attack. The current attack of two infantry squadrons and six infantry squads is probably the limit.
And with such a force, once all the light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns in the warehouse open fire at full strength, they can only look at the warehouse and sigh from a short distance away.
No matter what the intentions of the Japanese army are, Tang Dao's current intention is that if you miss, come closer and let me do it. If you don't want to die, just get away. We can just look at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
"Brother, you are so dishonest! This means that my cannon can't even drink the soup!" Lei Xiong said with a bitter face.
He has determined that the Army Lieutenant Colonel will use Tang Dao's fighting method, which will not only save ammunition, but also kill the Japanese infantry who cannot resist the temptation to advance.
Perhaps the only shortcoming is that the infantry will be more dangerous and will face the threat of Japanese infantry artillery and tank artillery.
However, for the defenders who have put life and death aside, sacrifice has long been inevitable. What does it matter if it is earlier or later!
This won't be a hindrance.
"Leixiong!"
"have!"
"Tell the brothers that all light machine guns are not allowed to fire from a distance of 200 meters. Heavy machine guns are also suppressed with short bursts of fire. The same goes for infantrymen. They are not allowed to fire blindly. If you can't see clearly, put the little devil closer and then hit. This way, the target will be larger and the hit rate will be higher."
It's also high!" the Army Lieutenant Colonel pressed the cigarette butt hard against the wall and ordered.
"Also, the brothers who are free should not be idle. Keep digging tunnels for me, and continue to pile sandbags on the excavated soil to make the window fortifications stronger!"
"yes!"
"Zinenliang, brothers, stop firing the machine guns first, polish the highlights of your moves, and bring the little devil closer before hitting! The rest of the brothers come to repair the fortifications!" Lei Xiong's loud voice almost overwhelmed the fierceness.
The sound of gunfire.
"Yes!" Officers and soldiers everywhere agreed with a roar.
Except for the infantry who needed to take up combat positions, the rest of the soldiers worked desperately to break open the floor and dig a passage connecting it to the Suzhou River.
Tang Dao, who was in charge of the warehouse fortification planning, ordered in the morning to dig two passages from inside the warehouse directly to the Suzhou River. No one knew his intention, but it was probably to divert water into the warehouse or to facilitate the entry of people from the Suzhou River.
In the early morning, people coming from the concession had to go ashore and use ropes to pull them into the second floor of the warehouse. Even though they were only a few meters away, if the Japanese army found out and fired, they might be killed.
The concession side is the only supply channel that is still possible in the warehouse today. Naturally, the officers and soldiers will not feel that their efforts are in vain. They all work hard.
Some people broke open the floor slabs to dig, and some people put the excavated soil into sandbags.
Those who dig are so tired that they sweat profusely, but those who pretend are actually not relaxed either.
Don't think that filling sandbags is an easy task. The soil must be dry to block highly penetrating rifle and machine gun bullets.
The terrain of Songhu, especially the Sihang Warehouse is on the Suzhou River. It doesn't take long to dig down and the soil will be so wet that you can almost squeeze out water.
The soldiers had to take as much of the top soil as possible to meet the needs of the sandbag fortifications. As a result, the originally planned digging of two tunnels became four.
Given the complex terrain, if the Japanese army invaded the first floor, not to mention the firepower to take care of them, if they fell in with a wrong look, they would probably be half disabled.

PS: Brothers, don’t forget to vote when reading the book! I want recommendation votes and monthly votes! If you have any questions, leave a message in the book review area or chapter review area, Fengyue will basically read it. Some people say that Warehouse Fengyue will write 300 chapters, Fengyue only
I can say that you are overthinking it. Book friends who have read old books know that Fengyue is a famous "short and concise" player. I can responsibly say that it has a maximum of 140 chapters.
I will switch to a new map. Do you think we should go to Songjiang? Or go to Guangde? Or go straight to Jinling? Come on, guess, there will be a prize for the correct guess.
This chapter has been completed!
