Chapter 115 Brigade Commander: I also want to meet
"Kong Jie, I congratulate you on making a fortune!"
Before the brigade commander entered the independent regiment headquarters, the sound of voices could already be heard.
"Brigade commander...chief of staff...why are you here!" Seeing the brigade commander and chief of staff walking in together, Kong Jie was startled and hurried to greet them.
"The Independent Regiment has won such a big victory. As your immediate superior, I will definitely come to congratulate you!"
"Don't tell me so much nonsense. I heard that the Independent Regiment used more than a hundred mules and horses to transport the spoils, and also dispatched dozens of large vehicles..."
"Such a big battle should bring back a lot of money!"
"You kid, don't be like Li Yunlong. He brought back a cavalry battalion from Wanjia Town and refused to admit it after calling him. He was unwilling to hand over the equipment of two cavalry companies until I came up with evidence!"
Kong Jie chuckled and replied with embarrassment: "I did make a small fortune, and the results were greater than I imagined!"
"What should I say?" The brigade commander immediately showed an interested expression.
Given Kong Jie's character, the more he captured on the battlefield, the more spoils he would eventually hand over to the brigade headquarters.
"It was a trick when we attacked the Tanzhuang stronghold!" Kong Jie explained with a smile.
"First destroy the central turret, knock down the command system of the stronghold, and at the same time eliminate most of the little Japs remaining in the stronghold."
"Then use infantry artillery to intimidate the remaining Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, forcing the puppet troops to kill the little Japs supervising the battle and surrender to us!"
"It finally succeeded..."
"As a result, only four infantry artillery shells were used in the entire attack, and no soldiers were injured or killed."
"Because the stronghold did not suffer too many blows, the supplies, weapons and ammunition inside have been preserved!"
"A total of 668 Japanese and puppet troops were eliminated in the three battles, including a cavalry squadron, an infantry squadron, a mortar squad, a heavy machine gun squad and 349 little Japs!"
"The rest are all puppet troops!"
"There was not a single Japs left alive, the puppet troops captured 239, and the rest were all killed!"
“106 war horses, three mortars, two heavy machine guns, eight crooked handles, four Czech-made light machine guns, 168 38 caps, 124 horse rifles and the same number of cavalry equipment, 318 were seized
Made in Hanyang, 29 pistols, more than 100,000 rounds of various bullets, more than 500 artillery shells, more than 2,000 grenades and grenades, more than 300 grenades, more than 60,000 kilograms of grain, more than 500 sets of uniforms...
"
"The remaining supplies are very messy and there are a lot of them. We haven't counted them yet!"
"If we capture the Tanzhuang stronghold through a forceful attack and destroy all the gun towers inside, all kinds of loot will be reduced by at least 30%!"
The brigade commander's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wanted to take away the mortars and heavy machine guns captured by Kong Jie, but he suppressed this idea at the last moment.
The afternoon before yesterday, Kong Jie just sent 300 guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition to the brigade headquarters.
According to the agreement, among the trophies seized this time, there are still two hundred guns belonging to the brigade headquarters.
Based on the brigade commander's understanding of Kong Jie, the seizure was 30% more than planned, and the loot turned over to the brigade headquarters would definitely be 30% more.
After taking so many benefits from Kong Jie in such a short period of time, it would be too much to target his mortars and heavy machine guns.
Besides, the Independent Regiment is also a unit of the 386th Brigade. As the Independent Regiment becomes stronger, the 386th Brigade becomes stronger. If there is a battle in the future that requires increased firepower, just ask the Independent Regiment to secondment the heavy machine gun unit and artillery unit.
He immediately said: "You are indeed a lucky general for our brigade. If you don't take action, you will be surprised."
"No matter how many good things your kid seizes, we will do what we agreed upon before!"
"I heard many people at the brigade headquarters say that the independent regiment has strong soldiers and horses, and you have hidden a lot of private goods!"
"The troops have just won the battle and they probably haven't returned to their respective stations yet. The chief of staff and I just happened to come over to have a look!"
"What troops are near Yangcun now? Take us to see them now. There is no need to prepare or notify the troops, just treat it as a surprise inspection!"
The independent regiment's firepower is indeed stronger than that of other troops, and its troop strength is much larger than that of the general main regiment. However, the equipment and personnel have been reported to the brigade headquarters, and there is no fear of inspection by the brigade commander.
Kong Jie was not worried at all and agreed without hesitation: "When we attack Tanzhuang, the first battalion and the new battalion will stay in Yangcun to protect the headquarters... They are around the regiment headquarters."
"The second battalion is temporarily stationed in the east of the village, the third battalion is temporarily stationed in the north of the village, the guard company, reconnaissance company, artillery company, and assault platoon are temporarily stationed in the south of the village. The brigade commander can go over for inspection at any time!"
"Go to the Second Battalion station first!" the brigade commander ordered.
"I heard that it was the Second Battalion that ambushed the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops in Tanzhuang!"
"To wipe out more than 200 Japanese and more than 100 puppet troops with one battalion, ordinary troops will definitely not be able to do it!"
"I have to see this army of heroes!"
"Go to the south of the village again. The reconnaissance company and assault platoon were the main force in destroying the Japanese cavalry squadron. The artillery company played a decisive role in the attack on Tanzhuang..."
"I'm also very interested in these troops!"
When the brigade commander and Kong Jie arrived at the Second Battalion's station, battalion commander Xiao Yuanchang was holding a military meeting with several company commanders.
Kong Jie originally planned to go directly into the conference room and participate in the meeting with the brigade commander, but was stopped by the brigade commander, and then heard Xiao Yuanchang's voice coming from the room.
"Comrades, we have sacrificed a total of 78 soldiers and seriously injured 19 people in today's ambush battle... Before the seriously injured can return to the team, the three main companies need to recruit 97 new soldiers!"
"The instructor and I decided to transfer people from the recruit company. First, let the main company be fully staffed, and then arrange for all instructors to go to the prison camps and local troops to recruit new recruits, so as to make up the recruit company to 200 people!"
Tang Bing, commander of the fifth company, was delighted when he heard this: "That's great!"
"The recruit company has already completed the recruit training, and there are many soldiers who have been on the battlefield. The infantry unit can participate in the battle, and even the training is saved!"
"I am confident that the fifth company will be restored to its pre-war status in ten days!"
"If the battalion commander can add one or two more light machine guns to us, I am confident that the combat effectiveness of the fifth company will be increased by another 10%!"
"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Yuanchang's rejection quickly reached the brigade commander's ears.
"The fifth company is already equipped with four crooked guns... if there are more, it will be five. Our independent regiment still has many main companies equipped with three guns. Even if the regiment headquarters has machine guns, they will be given priority to supplement them."
"Don't think I didn't see it. You were cleaning the battlefield today and you hid a lot of good things behind my back!"
"Let's talk about it. We have so many troops in the Second Battalion, and we have to share the benefits with everyone!"
As soon as the brigade commander heard this, he looked towards Kong Jie and seemed to say: The Independent Regiment really has hidden secret activities!
Kong Jie knew that his subordinates would replenish some ammunition and leave a few pistols when cleaning the battlefield...
Because the number was very small and the pistols were not included in the trophies, he turned a blind eye. Unexpectedly, the brigade commander heard about it today.
