Tommy had advanced a considerable distance, but he only had two rounds of ammunition left. He stopped to indicate he had chosen his position to shoot, and immediately Cui Bo rushed his remaining rounds to Tommy's side. Then, Cui Bo ran to Gao Yang and the others, delivering the ammunition others had carried for Tommy.
With seven rounds of ammunition left in Tommy's hands, that was all that remained.
Glolov and Cui Bo immediately advanced, halting just before entering the firing zone of the right-side firepower point; they had to wait for Tommy's artillery strike.
After surveying the situation, Tommy reported via the walkie-talkie, "Ram, the remaining buildings are of brick and stone construction; the mortar won't be much use. I'll try firing, but if I can't inflict significant damage on the target structure, I'll rapidly redirect the rounds to the courtyard."
