Wang Zhe began to feel distressed.

Zhang Chu really did this! What a waste of cannonballs!

One howitzer and twelve field guns fired continuously without stopping.

Calculated based on 10 rounds per cannon per minute, one minute is 130 rounds. Ten minutes is 1,300 rounds. Thirty minutes is 3,900 rounds...

Is this a cannonball?

It's all gold!

Seeing that the shell consumption was too high, Wang Zhe ordered a pause.

As a result, this pause gave Katayama Shotarō the opportunity to move. The remaining Japanese invaders immediately ran out of the bunker.

They quickly hid in deeper underground fortifications that could defend against 105mm howitzers.

By the time Zhang Chu realized it, Katayama Shoutaro had successfully escaped.

"what happened?"

"Why did the shelling stop?"

"Is the barrel too hot?"

Zhang Chu realized later.

The howitzers and field artillery all stopped firing. The battlefield suddenly became quiet.

It seems like I didn’t give the order to stop...

"Commander Zhang, the shells were fired too fast." Wang Zhe said truthfully.

"Cannonball..." Only then did Zhang Chu react.

Oh, I see.

Indeed, the shelling just now consumed thousands of artillery shells.

According to Wang Zhe's concept, a few thousand shells is an incredible number. One shell is equivalent to one tael of gold!

Thousands of cannonballs are equivalent to thousands of taels of gold. Or even more.

How can you make it casually...

"I'll ask someone to bring it."

"What?"

"I'll call for cannonballs right away!"

Zhang Chu responded casually.

Cannonballs and stuff, that’s all trivial!

Even if it is a 105mm artillery shell, the broken down value is 50 yuan.

In other words, even an old rifle can decompose at least 30 shells. So, there is no need to worry at all.

In addition to the 20mm anti-aircraft gun shells that feel like a loss, even the 60mm mortar shells are worth the money.

Request an airdrop immediately.

However, although the speed of airdrops is fast, the volume is not very large.

Taking the 105mm howitzer as an example, the weight of one round is 15 kilograms. There are only more than 60 rounds per ton. A single airdrop can deliver up to several hundred rounds.

It seems that I still need to use it sparingly and use it intermittently.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Five airdrop boxes landed heavily.

Each airdrop box weighs approximately one ton.

This is the first wave of artillery shells delivered. They are all 105mm grenades. There are more than 300 rounds in total.

If more are needed, a team of mules and horses must be used. Or a team of cars. One car can pull three hundred rounds of artillery shells. Three thousand rounds can be delivered at one time.

The issue is……

[Vehicle] item has not been updated yet.

So far, there are still only mule and horse transport teams. Car transport has not been activated yet.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Then, the second wave of shells fell, all from 75mm mountain guns.

This number is relatively large, with three to four thousand rounds. But on average, the number of each gun is almost the same.

Artillery is indeed not something that ordinary people can afford.

Even if you have the ability to build a cannon, the consumption of this cannonball is still a very astonishing figure.

During World War II, the United States produced a total of more than 40 billion rounds of ammunition, tens of millions of tons of artillery shells (more than 500 million rounds) and bombs, which shows how terrifying the productivity is.

The Soviets were not bad either. During the four years of the Patriotic War, a total of 400 million artillery shells and 17 billion bullets were poured into the Germans.

Although the Japanese invaders could not compare with the great powers, they produced 8 billion rounds of ammunition. The quantity was not large, but there were not many artillery shells.

"Keep fighting!"

"peer to peer!"

Zhang Chu adjusted his bombardment strategy.

Katayama Shoutaro was probably well protected by fortifications, so no matter how many shells there were, there was no way he could be killed.

In this case, ignore it. Kill the other targets first.

Especially the Japanese artillery positions.

Those are the small yellow dots that are relatively dense and have no movement track.

Adjust shooting elements.

“Bang bang bang!”

“Bang bang bang!”

Intensive bombing began again.

Howitzers and field slopes were all fired intensively.

The shells kept flying out.

Did you hit it? No matter. Just focus on bombing for one round first.

If there is……

"Ding!"

"You commanded the artillery group to successfully destroy a Japanese 75mm mountain gun..."

"You recover a 75mm mountain cannon..."

The information came suddenly.

Zhang Chu felt relieved.

Hit! Hit! First hit!

The first round of salvos killed a Japanese mountain cannon! The effect was perfect.

good!

continue!

"quick!"

"Eight quick shots!"

"quick!"

Zhang Chu gave the order decisively.

The artillerymen immediately rolled up their sleeves and worked hard.

One round after another the cannons were ejected from the chamber and flew fiercely towards the city of Yu County.

"Ding!"

"You commanded the artillery group to successfully destroy a Japanese 75mm mountain gun..."

"You recovered a 75mm mountain cannon..."

Information is pouring in again.

Hit again!
