Chapter 735
"What the hell is this?!"
The leading soldier slowly uttered these words only after the tank completely disappeared from sight.
The soldiers around him didn't hear what he said, but just stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.
After a long while, someone finally reacted and quickly ran to the door of the leading soldier.
"Sir, the general asked us to stop Marquis Changle. What should we do now?"
"What should I do? If you ask me, who should I ask? Who should I ask for advice on what to do?"
Hearing the soldier's question, the leading soldier replied unhappily, then pointed at the smoke in the distance.
"Look, look, didn't we stop it? Who can stop this thing? Let's go!"
Pointing in the direction the tank left and complaining, the leading soldier turned around and prepared to leave. The surrounding soldiers were all stunned when they saw this.
Then the soldier spoke again.
"Sir, where are we going?"
"Where are you going? Since you failed to stop Marquis Changle, of course you're going to join the general in killing the Japanese pirates! Are you planning to be a deserter?"
After saying that, the leading soldier immediately took a step forward, and the other soldiers hurriedly followed.
On the other side, Wei Wu saw Lan Yu's team from afar through the telescope, but he did not follow them directly.
Instead, he drove a tank, made a detour, and relied on the tank's mobility to arrive near the battlefield ahead of the main force.
Perhaps because Lan Yu made so much noise, the Japanese pirates didn't realize that Wei Wu had arrived first.
Of course, it may also be because Wei Wu took a detour and was a bit far away, so the Japanese pirates did not detect his whereabouts.
After all, the Japanese pirates did not have a telescope like Wei Wu, and Hidaka Castle had no walls, so they could not climb up and see far away.
However, when General Wei Wu stopped the tank and used a telescope to check the enemy situation, he suddenly frowned.
"The Japanese pirates have more artillery! We destroyed thirteen artillery pieces yesterday, and now there are thirty more!"
Seeing the cannons placed in front of Hidaka Castle, Wei Wu couldn't help but feel a headache. It would be difficult to deal with so many of these things!
Wei Wu's original plan was to cover the navy's attack, aware that the tank's main gun barrel might be damaged.
All we need to do is fire a few shots with the tanks to destroy a few of the Japanese pirates' artillery pieces and let them know that this is the weapon that ravaged them last night.
In order to prevent the artillery from being destroyed in large numbers like last night, the Japanese pirates will definitely disperse their firepower and solve the big problem of tanks first.
What Wei Wu had to do was to drive the tank around the battlefield flexibly, trying his best to avoid the tank's gun barrel being hit by the Japanese pirates.
One third of the territory had already been destroyed, and with the tanks dispersing their firepower, the Japanese pirates would be unable to take care of both ends.
Without a sufficient number of artillery, the Japanese pirates had no chance of stopping the navy's attack. As long as the distance was shortened, they would surely lose.
But the problem now is that even if Wei Wu is willing to scrap the tanks, he cannot deal with the artillery in the hands of the Japanese pirates.
Because the number of artillery pieces in the hands of the Japanese pirates far exceeded the amount of ammunition carried by the tanks, even by several times.
The standard ammunition load of a tank is 42 rounds. Adding the ones Wei Wu used last night, there are only 26 shells left.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of thirty extra cannons completely disrupted Wei Wu's plan.
But it was too late to say anything at this time, because Lan Yu was about to bring the navy to the battlefield.
Because they had been repelled once before, Lan Yu announced before coming that the army had run out of food and supplies.
The original intention was to let the soldiers fight to the death, but in the current situation, Lan Yu was the one being roasted on the fire.
If you fight, you will definitely lose!
If they don't fight, the soldiers will already know that their food and supplies are exhausted. Once they retreat, their morale will completely collapse and they will be unable to fight anymore.
