Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

At this time, the soldiers of the 129th Brigade of the 4th Division finally met up with a regiment of logistics support troops after two days and one night of forced march.

As a heavily armed combined force, a regiment excels at offensive operations, while the captured areas require ordinary infantry to guard.

Otherwise, using a regiment to guard the city and be responsible for public security would undoubtedly be a waste of talent.

The task of guarding the fruits of victory naturally fell on the shoulders of the 4th Brigade.

They came from the direction of Jincheng, following the same route as the original group.

By the way, the siege of the material transfer station will be lifted.

It turned out that while Li Yunlong was rushing towards the entrance of the Beast Killing Valley, Zhao Gang led a logistics support team and quietly arrived at the once busy material transfer station. That was the material transfer station that the regiment had just built when it arrived outside the Beast Killing Valley.

In the transit station, ammunition and supplies are piled up like mountains, and each box of supplies carries deep affection for the soldiers on the front line.

However, this area was once occupied by the devils for a long time, but now it has become an important supply station for our army. Naturally, there are many plaster spies left in this area.

A group of armored vehicles once hurried past here, and the traces left behind were naturally even more difficult to escape the noses of the plaster spies.

As expected, a regiment of elite soldiers and a division of yellow-shoe troops pounced on this piece of fat meat like hungry wolves, attempting to take over the material transfer station for themselves.

If Li Yunlong were here, he might choose to retreat without hesitation, using the mysterious system space to quietly transfer the supplies, or even at the cost of blowing up the supplies, just to save the lives of the soldiers.

In his opinion, these supplies, which seemed huge in quantity to others, could be exchanged with the gold coins earned from killing dozens of devils.

But fate has put Zhao Gang at this crossroads.

He did not have the system space like Li Yunlong, and could not easily give up these precious supplies.

So he made a firm decision - to stick to it.

He quickly assembled the logistics support forces, including the soldiers of the road-paving and bridge-building teams, and prepared to use the rich resources in the transit station and the intelligent automatic engineering machinery that was a century ahead of this era to build an indestructible line of defense.

With the enthusiastic support of the people, the construction of defensive fortifications was quickly launched in a race against time.

Over thirty reinforced concrete bunkers were built throughout the day and night without sleep. They were neatly distributed on three carefully designed defense lines and closely connected to each other through intricate tunnels.

A green purification system is installed in each bunker; the tunnel is equipped with ventilation system, green purification system, power generation system, control center, etc.

At the same time, Zhao Gang also ordered most of the supplies to be transferred to several large underground warehouses that had already been prepared.

These warehouses were not built overnight, but were planned as early as the beginning of the occupation of this place. The original idea was to bury a huge amount of explosives here after our army evacuated, and harvest them when the Japanese came to clean up the battlefield.

Later, our army changed its plan and had no intention of evacuating. Instead, it wanted to hold on to the material transfer station, so it was further expanded and reinforced and converted into an underground warehouse.

Now, they have finally come in handy, providing solid material support for the defensive battle.

The most amazing thing is that sixty advanced unmanned sniper units are cleverly deployed in every corner of the three lines of defense. They are like invisible guardians, quietly waiting to give the enemy a fatal blow.

With the defense line consolidated and supplies safely transferred, Zhao Gang knew that this battle would be a tough one.

In this land baptized by war, he will fight side by side with the soldiers to jointly protect this hard-won land.

In terms of the quality of soldiers, our army has an absolute advantage, even though Zhao Gang can only command the logistics support troops and not the main combat troops; and the quality and quantity of equipment are a world apart from the enemy. Our army is the sky and the enemy is the dirt.

However, our army’s disadvantage was that we had insufficient manpower and were fighting from bunkers, unable to take the initiative and were rather passive.

Another very big difficulty is: lack of water.

Drinking water is not included in the list of supplies, and troops usually have to fetch water from nearby places. If even water has to be transported by logistics troops, it would take up too much precious transportation capacity.

If Li Yunlong were here, he could command the drone to airdrop some water, and then release dozens of tons from the system space, which would easily solve the water crisis.

But Zhao Gang was obviously reluctant to use drones to airdrop some relatively cheap drinking water.

At first, no one had expected that there would be so many troops stationed at this material transfer station, nearly a thousand people, and only two water tanks for drinking water.

The water in these two tanks is not only for drinking, but also for cooling the generators.

When the soldiers learned about this situation, they naturally stopped taking showers and washing their faces. They even refused to throw away their urine, saving it for cooling water! This kind of tenacity and sacrifice is the most profound interpretation of "one water for multiple uses".

You can imagine how bad the environment is when boiling urine in a relatively closed space.

The tiny amount of water in the self-heating rations was also considered a treasure and was carefully collected for emergency use.

The rations that should have been steaming hot and heart-warming had to be eaten cold. Although the taste was greatly reduced, the soldiers' faces were filled with satisfaction and determination.

The Japanese and the Yellow Shoe Army approached the material transfer station silently like a pack of wolves in the dark night and quickly surrounded it.

This transit station was originally built for the convenience of front-line combat. Its location was not hidden, but with a powerful air defense system and firepower, the Japanese dared not have any ideas about it.

At the beginning, the strategic deployment had envisioned that once the Sixth Division was annihilated, the First Regiment stationed here would withdraw and the transit station would be abandoned.

Therefore, when choosing its location, more consideration was given to transportation convenience rather than concealment.

However, things are unpredictable. The destruction of the 6th Division did not frighten the Japanese as expected. Instead, under the tough command of Hata Ushichi, they became more crazy and gathered more troops to attack.

At this time, the main force of the regiment had already moved to the direction of the Beast-Exterminating Valley. At the material transfer station, only logistics support troops and local armed forces such as the county brigade and district squad were stationed.

The supplies in the transit station continued to increase as the war continued. For the Japanese, this was undoubtedly a piece of mouth-watering fat meat, tempting them to take it for themselves at all costs.

Therefore, the Japanese offensive came quickly and fiercely, and they were obviously eager to taste the fruits of victory.

As night fell, the Japs launched the attack impatiently without even having time to eat dinner.

The old tactics were used again, with artillery fire first, attempting to destroy our army's defense system with fierce artillery bombardment, followed by an infantry charge to capture the transit station in one fell swoop.

At that time, there were no heavy artillery or even mortars in the transit station, only 10 107 rocket launchers.

Amid the roar of the Japanese artillery fire, our army's ten 107 rocket launchers chose to remain silent, confusing the enemy with a seemingly weak posture.

The Japs still used the previous artillery tactics. After firing a few shots with the Long-legged Cat cannon, they would abandon the artillery and move their personnel; after firing a few shots with the mortar, they would move their positions.

After a round of bombardment, the Japanese did not organize a charge, but hid in the distance waiting for our artillery to retaliate and wait for an opportunity to find our artillery position.

However, what they waited for was dead silence. Twenty minutes passed, and the artillery position was still intact, as if mocking the Japanese's ignorance and weakness.

"There's a chance. There's no artillery on the Haqilu Road to do the job!" said a staff officer of the regiment.

"Ignorance! The other side is no longer called Haqilu! Besides, how do you know that the other side has no conspiracy?" said the Japanese captain.

"Fire another round of artillery and send a squadron of infantry to push forward and destroy the PLA's firepower points!" the regiment commander ordered.
