"The Independent Regiment is so lucky. We paid a huge price to break out of the siege and brought the two thousand Japs from Bantian Regiment here. They hid in the back and took advantage. They were also able to seize a large number of weapons and ammunition. How come they are so lucky?" Zhang Dabiao
Suddenly he looked envious.
"Zhang Dabiao, what are you talking nonsense about? Kong Erfeng sent troops to Cangyun Ridge to relieve us. Do you really think they went to Cangyun Ridge to take advantage!" Although Li Yunlong likes to take advantage of small things and usually speaks unforgivingly, but he is always right and wrong.
He still screwed it up clearly and yelled at Zhang Dabiao.
"There are at least a thousand little devils in Cangyun Ridge, equipped with a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns. No matter how inferior their combat effectiveness is to our regiment, if an accident occurs when the independent regiment raids Cangyun Ridge, not only will they not be able to take advantage, but they will also be trapped.
Get in!"
"Kong Erluo took such a big risk to save us. Not only do you not thank him, you also envy him for taking advantage of us. You are so heartless!"
"I don't want to hear this a second time!"
"As for the weapons and ammunition left by the Japanese in Cangyunling, do you think they are easy to capture?"
"Do you still remember why I didn't allow everyone to clean the battlefield when the troops were breaking through, so I could only take away some of the weapons and ammunition around me?"
"Are you worried that the Japanese pursuers will bite us?" Zhang Dabiao blurted out the answer.
"Too many weapons and ammunition will increase everyone's load and affect the marching speed of the troops!"
"If the Japanese catch up, the lives of the soldiers will be lost. No matter how many weapons and ammunition we seize, it will be useless!"
Li Yunlong snorted and asked, "Then do you think Kong Erluzi needs to face these problems?"
"Uh..." Zhang Dabiao was choked to death by Li Yunlong on the spot, and he thought for a while before answering.
"When the Japanese heard the sound of artillery, they quickly marched back to support them. They could fight back to Cangyun Ridge in forty minutes at most. Minus the retreat time, the independent regiment only had half an hour to end the battle and clean up the battlefield."
"Although the Japs remaining in Cangyun Ridge are mainly technical troops, they are well equipped and have a large number of heavy weapons. If they rely on favorable terrain and wait for reinforcements, it will be difficult for the independent group to kill them. It would be good to end the battle within half an hour.
I have no time to clean up the battlefield."
"To put it another way, even if they end the battle quickly and have time to clean the battlefield, they still can't take away the artillery and ammunition that the Japanese army left in Cangyunling!"
"Two thousand little devils are not vegetarians. If you run a little slower on the retreat, you will be bitten. In the end, you will not be able to escape."
"Commander Kong is always very cautious in fighting, and he will definitely not retreat with a large amount of loot at the risk of being caught up by the Japanese!"
That's what Li Yunlong thought. After hearing this, he glared at Zhang Dabiao again: "Do you still think that Kong Er's attack on Cangyun Ridge was an advantage?"
Zhang Dabiao quickly shook his head: "No!"
"In order to protect us from the pursuit of the Bantian Alliance, Captain Kong took great risks to attack Cangyunling and force the Bantian Alliance to return for reinforcements!"
"He is helping our new regiment and mitigating the losses of the new regiment!
Li Yunlong then ordered: "Now that I have figured it out, I can't live up to Kong Erluzi's good intentions."
"Inform the troops to speed up their march, get rid of the pursuers, and retreat into the mountains in the shortest possible time!"
Li Yunlong never expected that the several problems he and Zhang Dabiao had just analyzed were solved by Huang Yu subtly.
Kong Jie was persuaded to bring along the baggage train to meet the new regiment. On the surface, it was to transport the wounded, but in fact it was to transport the loot, especially the artillery left by the Bantian Regiment in Cangyunling.
The independent regiment was well-equipped and also had a machine gun platoon. The powerful firepower gave the troops a trump card to end the battle quickly. Two mortars attacked the heavy machine guns on the Japanese artillery positions from a long distance and did not give them a chance to fire, which not only alleviated the assault losses, and speed up the battle...
After these two problems are solved, the independent regiment is destined to reap huge results in the battle of Cangyun Ridge.
On the Cangyunling battlefield, Kong Jie was admiring the miracle created by the independent regiment with a satisfied expression.
First Battalion Commander Shen Quan smiled and ran over to report: "Captain, the Japanese heavy machine gun positions have been cleaned!"
"Including the six heavy machine guns we seized while chasing the Japanese, there are a total of nine machine guns intact!"
"Two more artillery pieces were seized from the artillery position, for a total of eleven artillery pieces!"
"If we all stay in the independent regiment, we can raise a heavy machine gun company right away!"
"All the artillery on the artillery position have been dismantled and are being strapped to the horses. They are ready to go at any time!"
"I'm asking the troops to strip the Japanese soldiers of their uniforms. Before their main force comes over, I can get as much profit as possible!"
"Commander, the Second Battalion has successfully completed its mission and is retreating here!" Xiao Yuanchang, who had taken over as the commander of the Second Battalion, suddenly ran over and reported excitedly with his mouth almost grinning.
"We seized so many good things from the Japanese field hospital and the baggage station that we can't even count them!"
"When the battle is over, I guess the head of the headquarters will be jealous of our trophies!"
It must be a good thing to be able to alert the head of the headquarters. Kong Jie himself became full of expectations and quickly asked: "Stop being so pretentious, pick up important seizures and tell me that it will make me happy too!"
"Medicine, we seized a large amount of medicine and surgical tools from the Japanese field hospital, and also captured four doctors, all Chinese, who were forced by the Japanese to become military doctors!"
"According to their account: The Bantian Regiment's task in this sweep was very heavy. Before they sent out troops, they were prepared to incur more than half of the troops' casualties, and directly brought various life-saving medicines that could be used by a thousand seriously injured people!"
"If they are sent to the headquarters hospital and used sparingly, these medicines can save at least 1,500 soldiers' lives!"
"The surgical tools are also treasures that we can't buy if we have money. There are several boxes in total, and they can be used after sterilization!"
"We also seized a large amount of ammunition from the baggage train. The quantity is similar to that detected by Huang Yu. There are rifle machine gun bullets, heavy machine gun bullets, grenades, grenades, and various artillery shells..."
"It's all mounted on the backs of mules and horses, and it hasn't even been dismantled!"
"All the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese dead soldiers and wounded were gathered at the garrison station, and they were also captured by us!"
"There are about three hundred and fifty three-eight cannons, twelve crooked handles, and nine grenade launchers!"
"We also seized more than 200 38-type covers, six crooked handles, and six grenade launchers used by the transport troops at the Japanese field hospital and the transport team station..."
"The time is limited, and the other seizures have not been counted yet. Anyway, I brought everything I could take away..."
Kong Jie was very excited, but did not lose his mind.
Although the troops have captured a large amount of loot, they are still in the enemy's belly. The main force of the Sakata Regiment may attack at any time. If you are not careful, these seizures will be wasted.
After a quick glance at his pocket watch, he ordered: "The Japanese who are chasing Li Yunlong will return to Cangyun Ridge in twenty minutes at the earliest..."
"We carry so much loot, even with mules and horses we can't run too fast!"
"The troops must retreat in advance and bring back the spoils intact!"
"I will give you five more minutes to clean up the battlefield. Once the time is up, you must evacuate Cangyun Ridge and return to the mountains along the same route..."
"Machine gun platoon, first company, guard company, replenish ammunition immediately, stay behind with me!"
"If the Japanese dare to pursue them, we can just use the position built by the first battalion to stop them!"
