Just in time, Captain Nagakawa Sanada Kunei of the 6th Baggage Regiment came over in a hurry.
Shigeta Shigenori said: "Division Commander, Kawa Sanada-san is here, you should ask him."
Okabe Naosaburo's eyes turned to Kawa Sanada Kawa Sanada. However, before he could ask the question, Kawa Sanada Kawa Sanada nodded heavily at him and spoke first: "Division Commander, the ammunition is about to run out!"
"Nani?" Naosaburo Okabe's eyesight went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.
Naosaburo Okabe thought that the ammunition consumption would be very high. After all, in the past twenty hours, the offensive of the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment was beyond imagination. In order to contain the offensive of the Damei Mountain Independent Regiment, the Kumamoto Division's ammunition consumption must be huge.
, However, Naosaburo Okabe still did not expect that the ammunition consumption would be so large!
Before yesterday, the Kumamoto Division still had three days of ammunition reserves.
However, now, the Kumamoto Division's ammunition reserves are almost gone!
This means that in just twenty hours, three days of ammunition reserves were consumed!
"Bagagaru!" Naosaburo Okabe turned his attention to the captains of several infantry regiments and said through gritted teeth, "Why is the ammunition consumption so high? Three days of reserves were consumed in less than one day?"
Just as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded: "Division commander, the offensive of the Dameishan Independent Regiment is too fierce. In order to block their attack, our heavy machine guns almost never stopped. The three heavy machine guns of our regiment
The squadron’s thirty-one Type 92 heavy machine guns have been fired until all of them are useless!”
When I looked back hurriedly, I found that it was Hidemitsu Nakano, the commander of the 13th Infantry Regiment.
"Nani." Naosaburo Okabe said, "All thirty-one heavy machine guns were scrapped?"
"Hai." Nakano Hidemitsu said after a pause, "All thirty-one heavy machine guns were scrapped, and fifty-two of the sixty-eight light machine guns were scrapped. The remaining sixteen light machine guns have no ammunition left, and there are
The ammunition, grenades and grenades of the individual soldiers and the grenades of the grenade team are all in urgent need. Division commander, we urgently need ammunition replenishment."
Kawasanada Kuni said angrily: "Nakano-san, didn't I just replenish your ammunition?"
"How can that little ammunition be enough?" Hidemitsu Nakano frowned and said, "It was all consumed in just one counterattack."
"That can't be helped." Kawa Sanada Kuniwei said, "The baggage regiment only has that little ammunition in total. I can't give you all the remaining ammunition reserves, otherwise, the other regiments will scold me again.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, the commander of the 23rd Infantry Regiment, Sano Torata, and the commander of the 45th Infantry Regiment, Wakamatsu Heiji, also hurriedly arrived. The two of them first bowed to Naosaburo Okabe and then started.
Complaint: "Division commander, our regiment is almost running out of ammunition, but the supplies of the baggage regiment have not yet been replenished."
Seeing the three infantry regiment captains complaining there, and the baggage regiment captain Kawa Sanada Kunei explaining there, Okabe Naosaburo suddenly felt miserable. How could the majestic Imperial Japanese Army be reduced to this? After fighting to this point.
Go up, Naosaburo Okabe wants to give himself a knife, just to see Amaterasu, it's a shame, it's a shame!
However, no matter how ashamed and angry I feel, I still have to face reality after all.
With a sigh, Naosaburo Okabe said: "Everyone, from now on, the supply of ammunition to individual soldiers will be strictly limited. Machine guns are not allowed to fire continuously, only two or three short shots are allowed."
After finishing speaking, Okabe Naosaburo said to Shigetori Shigetori: "Shigeta-san, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters of the Condemned Forces, requesting the chief of staff on the riverside to order the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade to bring up ammunition as soon as possible. If tomorrow dawns
Before we could not transport it, we were ready to break out. As for the consequences after the breakout, we didn’t care!”
"Hai!" Shigetori Shigetori nodded, turned around and hurried away.

Nanjing, Fanghua Garden.
The headquarters of the Central China Condemnation Army was filled with joy.
Since the start of the second raid on Dameishan, the news received every day has basically been bad news. Either the arsenal has been bombed, or the road or railway has been damaged. Either this infantry regiment has suffered heavy losses, or that infantry unit has suffered heavy losses.
The entire regiment was wiped out. I haven't heard a single good news for more than half a month!
However, just now, I finally received good news!
After Shun Nakamura was appointed as the acting brigade of the 13th independent mixed brigade, he rushed to Wuhu overnight, and then led the independent 13th mixed brigade to go north overnight. After nearly a day and night of rapid march, he arrived at Feicheng in the evening, and then
In the battle, they defeated the 32nd Army of the National Army besieging Feixi Town and wiped out more than 10,000 enemies!
When the news came, not only Kawabe Shozo was happy, but Nishio Juzo was also very pleased.
Nishio Hisao has not shown up for several days. The pain of losing his son was a huge blow to him. For several days, Nishio Hisao stayed in his office without seeing anyone. To this day, when the independent 13th
The good news that the brigade defeated the 32nd Army of the National Army came back from the Feicheng front line, and Nishio Shozocai appeared again.
"Riverside-san." Nishio Hisao said with a smile, "It seems that your fellow countryman is quite good at leading troops. He independently carried out a combat mission as a commander for the first time and achieved a great victory. This is a rare general.
Well, I don’t think there’s any need for him to stay in the staff department as a deputy chief of staff, why not just send him out to serve as the brigade commander?”
Nakamura Shun performed well, and Kawabe Shozo was naturally happy and said: "The general has said so, and the humble position naturally supports it with both hands. It just so happens that the base camp has decided to form a Taiwanese mixed brigade, so why not simply recommend it to the base camp, led by Nakamura
Sang Lai will serve as the brigade leader of Taiwan's mixed brigade."
"Yo Xi." Nishio Juzo nodded happily and said, "I will recommend it to the base camp."
"Hai." Hebian Zhengsan said with a serious pause, "I would like to thank you, the general, for your cultivation on behalf of Nakamura-san."
Nishio Juzo waved his hand and was about to say a few more words when he saw a communications staff officer hurriedly walked in and reported: "Your Excellency, the General, Your Excellency, the Chief of Staff, the Kumamoto Division has sent an urgent message to request an independent mixed 13th Brigade to escort the ammunition urgently."
On the front line, General Okabe said that if the ammunition cannot be delivered before dawn tomorrow, they will prepare to break out!"
"Nani, is the Kumamoto division going to break out?" Nishio Hiszo's face immediately darkened.
Kawabe Shozo said: "General, don't worry. The independent 13th Brigade has defeated the National Army's 32nd Army, and the logistics supply line from Feicheng to Badou Town has been re-opened. Therefore, the supply to the Kumamoto Division
Military supplies can definitely be delivered to the front line of Badou Town in time."
Nishio Hisao frowned and asked, "Where did the transport team go?"
Hebian Zhengsan replied: "We have already passed Chaohu County and are still eighty miles away from Feicheng."
Nishio Shouzou strode to the map, then pointed at the map and said: "The transportation team is still eighty miles away from Feicheng, and there is at least seventy miles from Feicheng to Badou Town, which adds up to more than one hundred and fifty miles.
It is not easy for a transport team to travel such a long distance in one night, and if something goes wrong along the way, time will be even tighter."
Kawabe Shozo was speechless. The transfer time and route of this transportation team were top secret. Except for him and Nakamura Shun, even Nishio Juzo did not know about it beforehand. Therefore, Kawabe Shozo was not worried.
The arms would be robbed by the National Army or the New Fourth Army like last time, but he did not dare to say that there would be no trouble on the road. After all, both sides of the Feiwu Highway were guerrilla zones for the four detachments of the New Fourth Army.
Where are the guerrillas? Or a car has a flat tire, a carriage has a broken axle, etc. Don't be too normal if you delay for a few hours.
Nishio Juzo said in a deep voice: "Kawabe-san, how about this? Let the independent mixed 13th Brigade go to Badou Town first. The Kumamoto Division's ammunition is already running low. Let's quell them first.
Part of the ammunition, with this part of the ammunition, how can the Kumamoto Division and the independent mixed brigade survive for one day, and with this day, how can the batch of arms supplied to the Kumamoto Division reach Badou Town."
Hebian Zhengsan paused and said: "Hai, your Excellency, General, is a wise man!"
Then, Kawabe Shozo sent telegrams to the Kumamoto Division and the 13th Independent Mixed Brigade respectively. He first ordered the Kumamoto Division to hold on for another day, then ordered the Independent Mixed Brigade to rush to the rescue of Badou Town, and finally ordered
The transport team heading north speeds up its march and must deliver the munitions to Badou Town within one day.

Feicheng, Feixi Town.
After receiving the order to dispatch the condemnation army headquarters, Nakamura Shun came over to say goodbye to Konkatsuharu.
"Your Excellency, General." Nakamura Jun paused and said, "I just received an urgent call from the headquarters of the dispatched army. I have to rush to Badou Town as soon as possible to assist the Kumamoto Division. I'm afraid we can't stay in Feixi Town any longer."
Kon Katsuharu said: "Since it is an order from the headquarters of the Condemnation Army, Nakamura-san should set off as soon as possible."
"Hai." Nakamura Shun nodded heavily, then turned and left. However, after taking two steps, he turned back, looked at Konkatsuji and said, "General, do you need to keep an infantry brigade?"
Leng Tiefeng warned Nakamura Shun not to have any luck, but Nakamura Shun always had luck in his heart.
Nakamura Shun still didn't want any accidents to happen to the arms supplied to the Kumamoto Division, so he wanted to leave an infantry brigade to help defend Feixi Town. Imatsuharu's men originally had almost two brigade forces, plus an infantry brigade.
Feixi Town is no longer in any danger. This move may anger Xu Rui, but he can evade it by saying that this is Jin Shengzhi's order.
However, Kon Shengji didn't know the inside story, so he smiled and waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, Nakamura-san, the 32nd Army of the National Army has been defeated by you, Feixi Town is no longer in danger, so, you
Although you are leading the main force of the 13th independent mixed brigade to Badou Town, General Okabe needs your assistance even more."
Toshi Nakamura was filled with bitterness, but that was all he could say.
At that moment, Toshi Nakamura left feeling unhappy.
