Chapter 105 Brigade Commander: It's late, there's nothing left
"Boom boom boom..."
Four grenades fell from the sky. In the violent explosion, the "chug..." sound of the submachine gun suddenly stopped, and the bustling battlefield also returned to calm at this moment.
Without Yamamoto's special agent team blocking the way, the few dozen Japanese remnants remaining in the stronghold were no match for the independent regiment.
Like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, they were all wiped out in one attack...
"Sir, this is the stronghold's arsenal... all the weapons and ammunition used by the Japanese are inside. Without their permission, we wouldn't even have a chance to get close to here!" said the captured puppet platoon leader, pointing to a house with an iron gate.
"Open!" Kong Jie ordered with expectation.
During the attack just now, he once again saw the powerful firepower of MP38.
Several submachine guns fired at the same time, and the strength of a company was completely suppressed again, without even a chance to resist.
Such a good weapon must not be rusted in a foreign warehouse because there is no ammunition. After taking the stronghold, he took the prisoners everywhere to find matching bullets for the MP38 submachine gun.
The stronghold ammunition depot was his first search target, but he was disappointed.
There are some conventional weapons and rifle bullets inside, but there are no submachine gun bullets that I want.
"No... there must be other places to store ammunition in the stronghold!" Kong Jie stared at the puppet platoon leader and asked seriously, his hot eyes seemed to be able to see through the heart, motionless.
"Sir, what are you referring to?" the puppet platoon leader didn't understand for a moment!
"I want submachine gun bullets!" Kong Jie asked directly.
"Don't give me a pass. There are dozens of little Japs armed with submachine guns in the stronghold. They practice marksmanship with thousands of rounds of bullets every day. They must have a large amount of ammunition in reserve!"
"But the arsenal in front of us does not have matching bullets!"
"All their things are in the barracks!" the puppet platoon leader explained.
"When we came here, we were not even allowed to interfere with the transportation of ammunition. The ammunition you are looking for, sir, must be in their barracks!"
"These devils did bring a lot of ammunition to the stronghold, all in boxes, at least a hundred boxes in total!"
"Sir, calm down, I will take you there now!"
The first few houses are the barracks of the Yamamoto Special Forces, with nothing but bedding.
When you open the last room, you see rows of ammunition boxes neatly stacked on the ground...
Just now, Kong Jie was worried that the ammunition he wanted to seize was gone. At this moment, the nervous expression on his face was instantly replaced by a smile, and his eyes were immediately fixed on several wooden boxes of different sizes.
"Open them and see what's inside?"
"Submachine guns...the box is full of submachine guns..." the guard platoon leader of a battalion exclaimed with excitement as he pried open the wooden box.
"My box is also full of submachine guns..." the soldier who pried open another wooden box reported.
"Quickly count, how many submachine guns are in a box?" Kong Jie was already smiling. He didn't expect such an unexpected gain. He walked to a box and asked.
"I have twenty submachine guns here..." the guard platoon leader reported.
"I have twenty Mauser pistols in this box, all of which are new guns that have not been used yet!" A soldier shouted next to him.
"I have twenty submachine guns here..."
"What I have here are Mauser pistols, twenty in total..."
"Commander, there are a total of 60 submachine guns, 60 Mauser pistols, 60 boxes of Mauser pistol bullets, and 74 boxes of submachine gun bullets in the barracks..." the second company commander reported excitedly after a simple count.
"Including the submachine guns and Mauser pistols we seized from the Japanese, there are at least ninety of them!"
"There shouldn't be that many!" Shen Quan, the first battalion commander, suddenly walked in and started to report when he saw Kong Jie.
"Captain, most of the Yamamoto special agent team members who were killed by us were buried in the ruins of the gun tower. I just asked the troops to dig up a pile of rubble and found the bodies of 9 Japanese special agent team members. At least half of their equipment was damaged by the rubble. , there is no way to use it, at most a dozen submachine guns and pistols were seized outside!"
"That's enough!" Kong Jie replied with satisfaction.
"We launched this attack for two purposes: one is to kill the Yamamoto special agent team's reinforcements, and the other is to seize a batch of supporting bullets for submachine guns!"
"Although there were a few special agents and the first mission was somewhat flawed, the captured submachine guns and pistols were enough to make up for the flaws!"
"Each company quickly cleans the battlefield and strives to evacuate the Zhuma Village stronghold within an hour!"
"The entire communications squad was dispatched and separately informed the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and our own reinforcements: the First Battalion and the artillery company have successfully captured the Zhuma Village stronghold and will evacuate the battlefield within an hour. They can also retreat on camera."
At the brigade headquarters, after listening to the report from the correspondent of the independent regiment, the brigade commander was so happy that he slapped the table several times.
As soon as the correspondent left, he couldn't sit still and looked at the chief of staff's order: "Kong Jie did not disappoint us. He captured the Zhuma Village stronghold three hours earlier than planned!"
"The New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment can withdraw. Please arrange for someone to give them orders as soon as possible!"
"I want to go to the independent regiment headquarters in person. I heard that Kong Jie seized a large number of submachine guns and matching bullets at the Zhuma Village stronghold."
"We didn't want submachine guns before because we had no way to replenish ammunition. If we did, it would be a pile of scrap metal!"
"This problem disappeared after Kong Jie seized a large amount of supporting ammunition. This time, he will bring back a submachine gun platoon's equipment no matter what!"
The chief of staff smiled and said: "Then there's no need for you to go in person!"
"Captain Kong is very principled and will definitely strictly enforce the discipline of giving credit for seizures on the battlefield!"
"I think we can just wait at the brigade headquarters!"
"When Commander Kong finishes cleaning the battlefield and returns to the base area, he will definitely come to the brigade headquarters to report the results as soon as possible.
The brigade commander shook his head and explained: "Kong Jie's principles are indeed good, and I believe in him, but that guy Li Yunlong's principles are not very good!"
"I'm afraid I'll be late because all the good things Kong Jie seized from the Zhuma Village stronghold will be snatched away by Li Yunlong and Ding Wei!"
"They helped Kong Jie block the attack, but they basically only consumed it, not captured it. That guy Li Yunlong blew up several bridges in the defense area. Do you think he will give up?"
The chief of staff shook his head subconsciously: "That boy Li Yunlong is a master who only takes advantage and does not suffer any losses. With his behavior, he will definitely go to Kong Jie to reimburse the losses of the New Second Regiment!"
"Ding Wei and Kong Jie are old comrades in arms, and they will definitely go over to share the spoils."
“If it’s too late, there’s a real possibility that you won’t get anything!”
"I'll ask someone to prepare the horse now!"
At the new regiment headquarters, Ding Wei laughed after listening to the correspondent's report: "Kong Jie has finished his work, and now it's our turn to eat meat!"
"Order all front-line troops to withdraw from the frontal blocking positions and use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to sneak attack the Japanese!"
"By the way, let's take a look at the weapons and ammunition we consumed in the blocking battle."
"The Independent Regiment captured the Zhuma Village stronghold in half a night and must have captured a lot of loot. Kong Jie must reimburse me!"
At the headquarters of the New Second Regiment, after receiving the news that the Independent Regiment had successfully captured the Zhumacun stronghold, Li Yunlong was both thankful and shocked.
The army had just been established and had a weak foundation. It could not afford to fight a war of attrition, and it did not have the strength to confront the Japanese. If Kong Jie were to fight for an hour less, the losses of the army would be greatly reduced.
Kong Jie actually ended the battle more than three hours early. Li Yunlong was shocked by the strong fighting power of the independent regiment.
But he is not a person who belittles himself either.
He believed that it wouldn't be long before the New Second Regiment could develop into a main force with combat effectiveness no less than that of the Independent Regiment.
After calming down, he began to issue orders: "When Kong Jie is done, our blocking mission will be completed."
"But the battalions and companies cannot withdraw from the battle yet. As long as the Japanese are still in our defense area, I will continue to fight, but there is no need to be as desperate as before!"
"Tell all battalion and company commanders that they will focus on training for the next battle!"
"The guerrillas and local troops along the route must fully cooperate!"
"If you meet some good soldiers, you can mobilize them to join the New Second Regiment!"
"I'm going to go on an independent tour!"
"I heard that the last time Kong Jie encountered the Yamamoto special agent team, he seized thirty or forty German-made submachine guns. The brigade and headquarters did not want them, and they were all equipped with independent regiments."
"Their attack on the Zhuma Village stronghold this time is also related to the Yamamoto Special Agent Team. They must have captured a lot of submachine guns. This time, we must bring back dozens of them, otherwise we will not be sorry for the losses of the New Second Regiment!"
Kong Jie's right eye suddenly jumped a few times, thinking that someone must be plotting against him, but he didn't take it too seriously.
No, I probably don’t have the energy to think about these trivial things.
When I first entered the ammunition depot at the Macun stronghold, I didn't find the submachine gun bullets I wanted, so I didn't focus on that.
After finding the submachine gun and matching bullets, he remembered this larger ammunition depot.
Although the quality of weapons and ammunition is not as good as German-made submachine guns, the quantity is large.
Seeing Kong Jie staring at a bunch of Hanyang products with a puzzled face, the puppet platoon leader leading the way quickly introduced them.
"Sir, the little devil is going to use these weapons to form two more companies of the Imperial Alliance Army!"
"The soldiers were the prisoners who built the stronghold in the first place. The Yamamoto special agent team came and wanted to use the prisoners to train troops, so this matter was delayed... The weapons have always been stored in the ammunition depot, with a total of 200 Hanyang-made rods, 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and 400 grenades.
!”
"The ammunition we usually use is still in eight boxes with 12,000 rounds of ammunition, and ten boxes with 200 grenades..."
"The ammunition used by the Japanese is blocked in the innermost part of the ammunition depot. There are thirty boxes of rifle bullets, ten boxes of grenades, and two boxes of grenades..."
"Captain, the battlefield has been cleared and the troops can retreat at any time..." Shen Quan ran over to report again.
"The weapons that can be used account for 60%. There are a total of three crooked handles, four grenade launchers, 58 38-guns, 129 made in Hanyang, 16 submachine guns, 20 Mauser pistols... nine kinds of bullets
More than a thousand rounds, more than 500 grenades and grenades..."
"More than 50,000 kilograms of various grains were also seized from the warehouse of the stronghold, and more than 600 pieces of ocean, eight small yellow croakers, and some gold and silver jewelry were seized from the Japs barracks..."
"Rescued 179 captives..."
"Originally, there were more than 220 prisoners here, and more than 40 were killed while working as a training partner for Yamamoto's special agent team..."
"The health is still good. I plan to ask them to help transport some loot back to the base, and then decide where they will go!"
