After several Japs who were able to move freely were killed, the rear troops did not relax their vigilance and began to replenish the wounded Japs from a distance.
Those who stayed behind were all veterans, and they were very vigilant. They had seen the Japanese's bravery and were not afraid of death, and knew that they could threaten their own safety while they were still breathing, so they showed no mercy at all when they took action.
All the little devils within sight, whether they were breathless or not, aimed at their heads and fired another shot.
"Captain, I have checked everything, and there is not a single living Japs on the mountain... A total of 56 corpses have been found." Deputy Captain Zhong Chengjun reported happily, feeling very excited.
Although more than 40 Japs were wiped out in the afternoon ambush battle, the regiment commander participated in the battle. The superiority in troops, firepower, and terrain...all belonged to the Independent Regiment.
The battle in front of us was won by less than twenty soldiers from the rear army alone. It was a true victory with less than more.
Although there are only about twenty intact little Japs in the results of the battle, and the others are all wounded, as long as they have guns in their hands, it is a real battle achievement.
The battle before us must have set a precedent for the independent regiment to win with less than more since its formation.
Huang Yu was also very excited.
When he was exposed in the middle of the sneak attack, his nervousness suddenly reached his throat, fearing that the sneak attack would fail.
Fortunately, the veterans left by the regiment leader were good enough, and they cooperated with him to kill the wounded Japanese soldiers in a short time, and successfully rushed to the top of the mountain.
If it had been a few minutes later and the Japanese had deployed machine guns from the east to stop them, the sneak attack would have definitely failed.
Faced with this result that was both expected and unexpected, Huang Yu especially wanted to say thank you to those veterans, and quickly asked: "Is the loss big? If anyone is injured, bandage it immediately! Did the Japanese leave any room for the wounded?"
Less good medicine would be an advantage for us!"
The smile on Zhong Chengjun's face was instantly replaced by solemnity. He looked at Huang Yu and replied with a serious face: "Four comrades died and one comrade was seriously injured!"
"Two veterans who were attacked from the west were shot in the chest and died on the spot..."
"The soldiers who were feigning an attack in the east were attacked in turn by two Japanese grenade launchers. Two soldiers died, and a soldier's shoulder was cut off by a shell fragment!"
Huang Yu's face darkened: "There are sixteen people in the rear army, five people have been reduced, and three people have divided their forces to attack the main force of the Japs. We have eight left here, and the manpower is too small. We must clean up the battlefield and leave here as soon as possible, otherwise when the Japs come back, we will
You can’t run away even if you want to, and you can’t take away the weapons and ammunition that our comrades worked so hard to capture!”
"Let everyone eat some of the seized cans to replenish their strength. In ten minutes, we will start cleaning the battlefield. Pack up all the supplies that can be taken away. We will discuss how to retreat after confirming the number of seizures!"
When the Japanese army went out to fight, individual soldiers carried three-day rations, mainly rice balls and canned food.
Today was the first day that the Japanese began their raids. The rice balls were basically eaten, and each person had two boxes of cans left on them. All of them were seized by the independent group.
The soldiers usually relied on grains to survive, and they could only eat until they were seven to eight percent full. They had never had the experience of eating canned beef as a meal.
But we all know that canned beef is a good thing. It is not only nutritious and rich in oil and water, but also delicious and can satisfy hunger...
Huang Yu gave the order, and the veterans were like hungry bandits, each holding a can of beef and devouring it, their mouths full of oil...
Ten minutes later, the eight soldiers who were still able to move were obviously more energetic than before. They took the initiative to clean the battlefield without Huang Yu's greeting.
Huang Yu went straight to the Japanese artillery position and heavy machine gun position.
The items on display here are all heavy weapons that have not been equipped by the Independent Regiment. After they are captured, the overall combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment will definitely increase.
"The mortar is good!" Huang Yu said happily after checking the mortar three times in a row. The grief caused by the casualties was suppressed by surprise at this moment.
Zhong Chengjun was even happier than him, and reported with joy: "Captain, we are lucky!"
"In order to speed up the march, the main force of the Japanese troops left most of them here!"
"There are ten cannonballs in a box. There are a total of twenty boxes here. One box was opened, four cannonballs were used, and there were 196 cannonballs left!"
Zhang Haotian was responsible for inspecting the Japanese heavy machine gun positions and hurried over with a look of excitement on his face: "Captain, the heavy machine guns left here by the Japanese are also good!"
"They also left thirteen boxes of ammunition here, with one thousand rounds in each box, for a total of thirteen thousand rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition!"
"We will make a fortune this time!"
Other soldiers also had smiles on their faces and kept delivering captured weapons to the artillery positions.
After the last bundle of Jaap uniforms was delivered, Zhong Chengjun was so excited that he could not speak coherently.
It was a little awkward to speak to Huang Yu. He calmed down for a while before reporting: "Captain, minus the mortars, heavy machine guns, artillery shells, and heavy machine gun bullets, we also seized two crooked handles and two grenade launchers.
, 39 38 caps, 39 bayonets, six pistols, a command knife, a pair of binoculars..."
"There's a lot more ammunition than I expected."
"In addition to what was seized from the Japanese, we also found backup ammunition carried by the Japanese army, hidden behind a big rock, totaling ten boxes of 15,000 rounds of machine gun bullets."
"It must have been left behind by the Japanese army to speed up their march!"
"More than 3,100 rounds of machine gun bullets, 129 grenades, 28 grenades, 83 pistol bullets, and 186 boxes of canned beef were also seized from more than fifty Japanese soldiers. We ate nine boxes, leaving 177
box!"
"Belt uniforms, armed belts, military shoes... a total of 56 sets!"
Huang Yu was unhappy at first.
The addition of these weapons will definitely greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment, and the sacrificed veterans can also rest in peace.
But he soon ran into trouble.
There were too many weapons and ammunition seized. There were more than 40 boxes of unopened shells and bullets. There were also weapons, ammunition and other supplies piled up like a hill. Even an infantry company might not be able to take them all away at once. The troops behind the scenes were full.
There are only eight people, so they definitely can't be transported back.
It's not enough to give up some weapons and ammunition. The uniforms and ammunition here are the most scarce materials for the independent regiment. Taking back any of them can save lives. Even if it costs his life, Huang Yu will take them all back.
"First move the seizures to other places and hide them. We will come back and transport them when the battle is over!" Huang Yu thought of a solution that was not a solution!
This proposal was supported by Zhong Chengjun and Zhang Haotian, and the eight people took action immediately.
They worked until six in the morning before moving the seized items to a ravine eight miles away.
After completing the disguise, each soldier took an extra 38-gun cover and filled his body with bullets. He then took away a mortar he had just captured, three boxes of artillery shells, two boxes of rifle bullets, and all the medicines, and disappeared in a hurry.
