Chapter 1385: The Battle of Zhengjiatun! (8)

In the village temple, except for the sentries and duty officers who must stick to their posts, everyone else has basically entered sleep!

The first regiment commander led people into the east end of the village, and slowly moved against the walls of the houses on both sides of the main road. The sentry at the west end of the village did not notice an enemy behind them!

"There is a village temple. The Japanese set up machine guns at the front and back doors, two front doors and one back door, each sending a small team to guard them, and they take turns every two hours!"

"Captain 1, I will ask the sniper to help you kill the machine gunners later, and you will attack again!" Wu Zi said to the commander 1.

"Really, that's so thankful!" The leader of the regiment was extremely grateful.

"We are a family, we are talking about thanks and sad feelings!" Wu Zi smiled, "But I won't be so lucky next time. You have to do everything yourself!"

"Don't worry, after seeing your methods, even if we can't reach that level, we still have three tricks!" A leader said confidently.

"That's good!" Wu Zi nodded.

It is also a good thing to give the troops below the world a vision and let them know that there is a heaven beyond the sky so that they can work hard and improve their combat effectiveness.

It’s better to lose in the hands of the enemy and learn from the bloody lessons. That’s much worse.

The attack was extremely smooth. Perhaps the captain Yoshino was particularly relieved of the alert arrangements he set, so he fell asleep peacefully and even snored!

The machine gunners were the biggest attack on the first regiment commander and their team. When Shunzi and another sniper helped them solve this problem, the attack became much easier!

As soon as the gunshot sounded, the Japanese woke up from their sleep. When they put on their clothes and were ready to fight back with weapons, they found that the enemy had already reached their eyes and noses!

The Japanese army had high quality and were very tenacious in fighting. They relied on favorable terrain and the bunkers in the village temple to fight the reconnaissance battalion!

Although the reconnaissance battalion is the most elite unit of the 183rd Division and its weapons and equipment are not inferior to the Japanese army, the establishment time is still short and many trainings are not completed. Although they surrounded the Japanese army in a small village temple, they could not play the advantage of the cavalry, they still took a considerable price to capture the village temple!

"If there were no brigade of the Wu, our casualties today might have been greater!" A regiment commander burst into tears. A mere squadron killed fifty or sixty people. This is the best equipment and the most elite soldier in the reconnaissance battalion directly under the division headquarters!

"Now you all see that the Japanese are not that easy to deal with. Have they won several battles? They are all starting to be upset, ah. I am the first regiment commander and I can't control your reconnaissance battalion, but don't forget, how many of you were once my soldiers?" The first regiment commander got angry on the spot!

The casualties were really unbearable for him. It was still an attack, and it was all like this. If it were a positional war, it would be hard to imagine!

"Captain!"

"arrive!"

"I have seen such a big casualty. I can understand that you are sad, but remember that you are a soldier. What do soldiers do?"

"Defend the country!"

"Yes, it is to defend the country. What is their sacrifice in exchange for? It is the integrity of our country's territory and the freedom and independence of the nation. Today their sacrifice is worth it. The people will remember them. In the future, we will erect a monument here so that they can receive incense forever!" Lu Shan said loudly.

"Yes, Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu!" The soldiers of these reconnaissance battalions were all blown up. It turned out that this young man who was smiling was Lu Shan, the commander of the East Anti-Japanese War.

They were actually with the leader they worshipped one night, and after they went back, they were qualified to brag!

"This battle made you realize that the Japanese army is not so easy to deal with. Your Ninth Brigade is a young army. Many people have never fought directly with the Japanese army. I don't know what the opponent looks like. Now, you see, they are stronger than that, because each of them trains for at least one year before going to the battlefield. You have become veterans in a month. This is the gap. We have to admit it, but we have to admit it. No, because we have to admit it, we will destroy our country. Not only will we be slaves of the country, but our brothers and sisters, parents, wives and children be slaves of the country. We walk on the street and from then on, we will be shorter than others. This is not allowed, and we are unwilling to be second-class citizens. We are the masters of this land. Why do we have to let others rule us, oppress and exploit us?" Lu Shan's temporary passionate speech had an immeasurable impact on the Battle of Zhengjiatun.

Later historians believed that without this impromptu speech, the Zhengjiatun Battle might not have achieved such brilliant results!

More importantly, this speech also affected the fate of many people, especially the 183rd Division Reconnaissance Battalion later produced several generals and dozens of school-level officers!

It can be said that these are closely related to this speech.

The 183rd Division fought all the way and the troops felt proud and underestimated the enemy. This is very natural. Most of the 183rd Division fought against the puppet army or Japanese garrison troops. These troops were quite different from the Japanese elite field divisions, and their weapons and equipment were even worse!

The equipment of ordinary garrison troops is much worse than that of field divisions, and their firepower is even worse. Especially in terms of heavy firepower, the elite Japanese divisions are unmatched in Asia!

However, the Japanese army's thoughts on governing the army emphasize jingshén and fighting will. Although it is a backward military idea, it still has considerable significance!

In World War II, if the Japanese army had equipment like the US, the Japanese army could easily occupy the United States.

However, due to the lack of resources and the outdated military thinking, the Japanese army was eventually defeated by the Americans!

This is also the reason why Japan has always admitted that it has lost to the United States after World War II, but never admitted that it has lost to China.

The reason why Lu Shan launched this attack was actually to give all the officers and soldiers of the 183rd Division a clear understanding. The Japanese army is not a puppet army, so don’t underestimate the enemy!

This is also the reason why Lu Shan ordered Wu Zi not to help the reconnaissance battalion. The more special forces teams help, the less it is easier for them to reflect on themselves and the less they cannot find their own problems!

"The first regiment commander ordered the troops to quickly clean the battlefield. Ours immediately evacuated. Although the Japanese army was still recruiting the east bank of Sutai River, it took only one or two hours for them to come!" Lu Shan said.

"Okay, I'll order someone to clean the battlefield right away!" The commander of the regiment nodded.

Although there were quite a few casualties, the results were still very good. More than 160 war horses were almost intact, with more than 90 horse rifles, six light machine guns, eight grenade tubes, and nearly 10,000 grenades and various ammunition, which was enough to equip a company!

In addition, there are also the capture of communication equipment, two portable radio stations, one used, and the other was probably spare, which means that the reconnaissance squadrons like theirs would have such a wealthy configuration.

In fact, the Japanese army's radio stations are not rich. Field troops are generally equipped at the brigade level, and squadrons that perform tasks independently can also be equipped. For small teams, they can be used when performing special tasks!

Usually, squads and squadrons rarely have radio stations. This was the case in the early days of the war, at least now, and the situation will be different a few years later.

By that time, it would not be uncommon for a Japanese team of fifty or sixty people to be equipped with radio stations. Now the radio station is not even equipped with regiment level, let alone battalion level. Dong Kang is able to equip radio stations with road battalion level is far higher than the general situation of gj!

"I will be the leader of the radio station and weapons and ammunition for you to use, and leave one-third of the war horses for you to communicate on the battlefield. The rest will be returned to the division headquarters. What do you think, the commander of the regiment?"

"I'll listen to you!" The first regiment commander was not dissatisfied with this battle. The battle was fought by the reconnaissance battalion directly under the division headquarters. He made a big profit himself. What else can I say?

"I give you weapons and ammunition, so I want you to fight this battle for me. Sanjiangkou is the gateway to Zhengjiatun. If you fight here, the safer Zhengjiatun will be. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu, look, the military map of the Japanese seized. The mark on it, you see, there is a small path here, but there is no on our map, it's true!"

"Stop complaining. The Japanese have been conducting intelligence reconnaissance on Chinese land for decades. I'm afraid we know more about the ditches and obstacles in Manchuria. Now that we have this map, the more confident this battle is?" Lu Shan took off his coat and said to Wang Rong.

"Mr. Lu, I heard you taught the kids under my command?" Wang Rong came over and asked in a low voice.

"Why, you are well-informed, who is talking so quickly!" Lu Shan said with a smile.

"I don't like to listen to these boys. Now I understand. Only after I go to the battlefield can I understand what war is!" Wang Rong said.

"Do you also want them to suffer a loss and become wise?"

"I think so, but I can't say that. You are different. You are arrogant. Why? They won't hate you, but they will hate me!" Wang Rong said.

"Fellowship, are you calculating me?" Lu Shan said.

"It's not true. Even if I want to plot against you, you have to take the bait. If you don't take the bait, I can't help it!" Wang Rong said with a smile.

"Don't tell me those, you have the canned beef from the Japanese. Give me a bite. This time, the soup in my stomach has long disappeared!" Lu Shan glared at Wang Rong.

"You wait, I'll pick it up for you!"

"Care a canned beef and let a master go there in person, can't you?"

"What else can you do? In this command, except you and me, everyone else is busy!" Wang Rong stood up and said.

"Go, go, find a monk to get a bottle of wine. This kid has a lot of private goods hidden!" Lu Shan waved.

"Mr. Lu, you can only pick something from the thief monk's mouth. We can't even think about it!" Wang Rong smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, just say I want to drink, he won't make things difficult for you!" Lu Shan smiled and waved.

"Okay, I'll go!"

"Mr. Lu, headquarters telegram!" The intelligence consultant sent a telegram.
