Chapter 47 What’s not lacking here is ammunition!
At the artillery position, Krupp was walking back and forth between each mortar position, muttering to himself.

"Don't be dazed, be smart and see if it's fixed."

"What about you? Have you brought the ammunition?"

Since it was the first actual combat, the soldiers in the artillery company were still very nervous.

Although we train a lot and fire a lot of artillery shells.

Now that we are fighting the Japanese with real guns and knives, I am naturally a little panicked.

Fortunately, the artillery company still has some veteran artillerymen who can maintain basic operations. Otherwise, Krupp alone would be overwhelmed.

"The commander has told us not to be stingy with ammunition, so what you need to do next is to fire as hard as you can and move the shells as hard as you can. Do you hear me?" Krupp roared.

"Yes." The people in the artillery company responded in unison.

At this time, the signalman trotted over and immediately said when he saw Krupp.

"Commander's order, fire immediately, here are the coordinates."

As he spoke, he handed over the coordinates.

After getting the coordinates, Krupp took a look and then spoke loudly.

"Everyone, listen to my command, target XXX, position XXX, five rounds of rapid fire."

The artillerymen, who had been waiting impatiently, quickly put down their shells.

shhhhhh!
More than a dozen mortar shells flew towards the distance.

At the ambush point, Cun Yunsheng was looking at the sky and suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound.

"coming."

The Japanese soldiers who had just entered the ambush circle subconsciously raised their heads and saw shells raining down.

"Baga, it's a mortar, get out of the way quickly, there's an ambush." ​​The Japanese squad leader roared in fear.

Unfortunately, it was too late because the shells had already fallen.

More than ten artillery shells fell one after another. Many Japanese soldiers had no time to dodge and were directly blown into the sky and then fell heavily down.

This was followed by painful wails.

Some of the Japanese soldiers suffered even more and were blown to pieces.

"It's so satisfying, so satisfying, let's blow up these bastards." Li Sifu looked at the Japanese soldiers wailing on the ground and exclaimed that it was so satisfying, with the excitement on his face never disappearing.

"It's a pity that we don't have heavy artillery, otherwise, one shell would be enough to kill most of the Japanese." Cun Yunsheng was somewhat dissatisfied with the power of the 60mm mortar, it was still too small.

One artillery shell would only take away a few Japanese soldiers, and sometimes it would miss the target, which made him a little unhappy.

"Commander, the power is quite big. Besides, if you give us heavy artillery, how can Krupp make it? Isn't he from the anti-tank artillery field? Heavy artillery is not anti-tank artillery." Meng Fanle felt that his commander was a little greedy and shook his head.

"The principles of artillery are all the same. With Krupp's intelligence and wit, he will figure it out after thinking about it a few more times." Cun Yunsheng retorted.

At this time, sharp whistling sounds continued to be heard from the sky.

Five rapid shots landed one after another in a very short period of time.

After the battle was over, there were not many Japanese troops left on the ground.

As for the Japanese squad leader who was still shouting, he had already been blown to pieces and disappeared.

Of course, this does not mean that the shelling is over. According to Cun Yunsheng's understanding of the Japanese, the main force must be not far away, otherwise it would be inconvenient to provide support.

So when he asked the signalman to convey the order, he asked him to start plowing and bombing the land within a hundred meters behind after the artillery fire ended.

That's right, it's like plowing the land, blasting it forward meter by meter.

"Commander? Aren't you going to charge yet?" Li Sifu asked impatiently. "Why are you in such a hurry? The bombardment hasn't ended yet. Charge after it's over." Cun Yunsheng shook his head, stopping the other party's impulse to charge out.

This made Li Sifu a little confused. To them, the bravest of two would win when they meet in a narrow road, and it was all about close combat. This was the first time he had encountered such an extravagant fighting style.

Even Meng Fanle and Lin Yi who were standing next to them were stunned by such an extravagant feat.

"Commander, why don't we let the artillery company stop for a while? The shells are carried on shoulders and backs. Every shell fired means one less." Lin Yi said with some heartache.

This kind of playing style is really heartbreaking.

Meng was annoyed and smacked his lips as he spoke.

"Commander, the regiment I was in before, until it was completely wiped out, didn't fire as many shells as today."

This is not an exaggeration. In the early days, the Sichuan Army was called a beggar army and had no decent weapons. Mortars were their treasure and they were reluctant to use them.

"If my commander were still alive, he would definitely scold you for being such a loser and calling you a jerk. You don't know how to manage the household at all."

Despite the persuasion of Meng Fanle and others, Cun Yunsheng still maintained a calm expression.

"Don't worry about the shells. How much are they worth? How can they be as valuable as the lives of the soldiers? Besides, we have already entered Burma. Why would we still care about these shells?"

"Do you know what is the most lacking thing here?"

Several people shook their heads. They were not familiar with the place, so how could they know what was missing here?

"Let me tell you, what is most lacking here is weapons and equipment, artillery supplies, etc. Believe it or not, just pick a town and you will find that they are all fully stocked with weapons."

"Remember, from now on, all our weapons and ammunition will be reimbursed by the U.S. military."

"So, don't feel bad about the shells. They're worthless." Cun Yunsheng said indifferently.

"Is the US military so generous?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, he is the leader of our allied forces, and the thing he has the most is shells, so don't worry about the shells and ammunition, use them freely."

"We are now killing the devils and saving the British army, so the American army has to reimburse us, understand?"

"Don't be like country bumpkins who have never seen the world."

"Do you know how the Americans fight wars?" Cun Yunsheng felt that these cannon fodder members should be taught a good lesson and told to stop being petty every day.

"How did you fight?" Meng Fanle was also a little curious. No matter how smart he was, it was impossible for him to know so much.

Otherwise, when reading the original novel, he would not have been shocked by the heroism of the U.S. military.

"Do the Japs have three tricks? Artillery bombardment followed by infantry charge?" Cun Yunsheng asked instead of answering.

"Yes." Several people nodded.

"The U.S. military is similar, but after their heavy artillery bombardment, they will send bombers to the battlefield. When the airstrike is over, the armored forces will come on the battlefield and bombard again. When the infantry really comes on the battlefield, there is also a battalion artillery company that can provide fire support at any time."

“So the U.S. military’s infantry is also known as the body collection team.”

"Because by the time the infantry arrives on the battlefield, all that's left are corpses, and the remaining enemies will be terrified." After Cun Yunsheng finished speaking, everyone was shocked and speechless.

"Is the US military so powerful?" Lin Yi couldn't help but say in amazement.

"The U.S. military is strong in their industry. They have a huge industry that can produce massive amounts of weapons and ammunition." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said that the U.S. military's individual combat capabilities are not really that strong.

The peak infantry at this time should be the German army. Even the firepower as strong as that of the US army was pinned to the ground by the German army.

"Commander, do you mean that from now on, we will be able to have such powerful firepower as the US military?" Lin Yi asked excitedly.

"Of course, otherwise why would we enter Burma to fight? Isn't it just for the assistance of the US military? Are we really here out of kindness to help the British army drive away the Japanese army?" Cun Yunsheng said unhappily.
