Obviously, Liu Lang made it very clear that what was waiting for them on the only way for the Japanese to pass was the last five battalions of the 288th Regiment and the 289th Regiment.
With less than 2,000 people, who dares to say that they can stop thousands of Japanese who are eager to retreat?
This has almost exceeded the limit of dangerous military operations.
It was difficult for Tang Yongming not to sweat.
It is already difficult to convince the two regimental commanders Qi and Dong, who are known for their stability in the 29th Army, to withdraw all their troops and abandon the key points strictly guarded by the military headquarters. What is even more awesome is that Liu Lang had already done this five hours ago. Such a plan was made.
In other words, as soon as he repelled the Japanese attack, he analyzed Suzuki Mitsuchi's plan and made corresponding arrangements, and he was right.
In addition to reinforcing his position, Suzuki Mitsuchi had no intention of launching another attack or retreating. Instead, he fell into Liu Lang's scheme step by step and became a prey in the cobweb. The rest was just a stubborn resistance.
He is really as smart as a demon! Tang Yongming raised his evaluation of Liu Lang to a higher level again.
Of course, Tang Yongming was frightened by Liu Lang's series of victories. Liu Lang was not a god. If it weren't for the dozen special forces he sent out to clearly report the battlefield situation to him, he would not have dared to make such a bold move. predict.
If Suzuki Mitsuchi, an old devil, had been more decisive and rested for a while until Liu Lang took the risk of sending troops to attack again, then it would be Liu Lang who was crying now.
But Liu Lang's bet was that Suzuki Mitsuchi, who had lost all his energy in the first battle, didn't have the courage. Obviously, he won the bet.
What's more, it's not like Liu Lang didn't leave any backup. No. 200 of the Death Company who has been guarding the ancient mountain is Liu Lang's last backup. He has 9 mortars, 6 MG42 machine guns, and more than a dozen Czech-made light weapons. The machine gun's death battery can drag thousands of Japanese in front of the pass.
Of course, Liu Lang would not tell Tang Yongming these things. His purpose was not to show off in front of this person, but that if he wanted to attract talents, he had to convince them first.
Liu Lang has now made up his mind to poach someone.
The two were chatting happily when Chi Dakui and Yu Xiancheng, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, ran over to report the battle situation to Liu Lang.
Judging by the unconcealable joy on their faces, one could tell that the seizure this time was not small.
After meeting with Tang Yongming and others, Liu Lang did not let Tang Yongming and others who wanted to leave voluntarily leave. This battle was fought by the Independent Regiment and the 29th Army together. It was Liu Lang's principle that everyone who met had a share.
Otherwise, no one will play with you in the future, right? Liu Lang now needs to unite all the forces that can be united to win the upcoming fierce battle.
"Let's talk about the casualties of the troops first." Liu Lang asked directly.
Except for the Japanese Type 41 Mountain Cannon, which Liu Lang still paid attention to, the others were all rubbish. In comparison, Liu Lang cared more about his soldiers.
"Our army has a total of 56 injured soldiers, 16 seriously injured, 40 slightly injured, and 27 killed. Because of the cold weather, I am afraid that two or three of the seriously injured brothers will not be able to survive until dawn today." Chi Dakui's expression changed when he talked about this. It also became a little ugly, but it was still calm.
For him, who had experienced the entire company being almost wiped out, this casualty number was completely acceptable.
Liu Lang took a deep breath and tried his best to hide his emotions. Although he had expected it, the number of nearly thirty people killed still made him extremely distressed. After two battles in less than a day, he had lost nearly 100 soldiers. That was the entire independence. One-twentieth of the regiment, after a few more battles, how much will be left?
But looking at the calm faces of all the officers around him, Liu Lang could only smile bitterly in his heart. After all, his mentality was still a little different from that of the veterans who had experienced fierce battles with the Japanese army.
Indeed, everyone here has fought many battles with the Japanese army, and has experienced the destruction of entire companies, entire battalions, and even entire regiments. For them, these casualty figures can hardly sway their iron-hard nerves.
As the saying goes, kindness does not control the army. Although Liu Lang, a soul from later generations, was so moved by such a small number of casualties, people felt that he was a little too soft-hearted, but they collectively changed Liu Lang's standards in their hearts.
Move up one level.
The reason is very simple. On the premise that he can win the battle, a cold-blooded and ruthless commander is obviously not more attractive than a commander who is considerate of his officers and soldiers.
"Gou Defu, go and order the medical team to treat the wounded soldiers with all their strength, and ask a platoon to be sent forward to transport the injured brothers back to the tunnels of the main position." Liu Lang shouted at Gou Defu, who temporarily acted as a guard and orderly.
Gou Defu hurriedly delivered the order. If the order was delivered late and something happened to the wounded soldiers, Gou Defu thought he would be eaten alive by the Bull Demon King.
When he talked about the results of the count, Chi Dakui's expression became bright.
"Sir, this battle has been a good one. There are more than 1,300 corpses of little Japanese that have been counted. There are still many who were killed by artillery shells and only a few pieces were left. It is estimated that there are one or two hundred.
The two Japanese captains were all found. One major's head was smashed, and one lieutenant died of suicide. He was so stubborn that he cut his own stomach open until he died completely just now, and...
.." Chi Dakui grinned and reported the results of the battle, but hesitated a little.
"What's that? Just let it go, there's still a lot to worry about!" Liu Lang was still depressed about the previous casualty figures, so naturally he didn't feel good about it now.
"That's right, there are still more than 400 wounded Japanese soldiers with broken arms and legs who still have a breath or two. What do you think we should do with them?" Chi Dakui asked.
"Japanese wounded soldiers?" Liu Lang frowned slightly.
The same goes for these little devils. Where has the Bushido spirit that was promised gone? Why are they still trying to survive?
When he thought of the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese in China in the future, Liu Lang's eyes flashed with anger.
The temperature around me seemed to be a little lower.
Several school-level officers pursed their lips and said nothing, but their eyes flashed with stern looks. Obviously, they were waiting for Liu Lang to speak, and they would accept the order no matter what.
"Let's do this! Gather all the wounded Japanese soldiers in a leeward place, and there is no need to send someone to look at them. If their legs are not broken, just break them. By the way, remember to tell your brothers that the Japanese soldiers are very stubborn.
, Make sure there is no danger before proceeding. Anyone who feels threatened will be killed on the spot." Liu Lang did not imagine the order to kill the prisoners with red eyes, but he decided on the treatment of the wounded Japanese soldiers very easily and freely.
keynote.
Tang Yongming and his three battalion commanders looked at each other and said nothing in a tacit understanding. Obviously, they all agreed with Liu Lang's handling of the situation. The war was imminent, who had the energy to take care of the Japanese wounded soldiers?
It is not a good idea to kill prisoners on a large scale. Soldiers are not beasts. The best result is to let them "fend for themselves".
Chi Dakui nodded with a smile and went to arrange for people to solve the problem of the Japanese wounded soldiers. The officer's special emphasis on the word "leeward" clearly stated his point of view.
The wind is from the north! Sometimes the wind blows from the northwest, sometimes from the northeast. Who can say for sure about the direction of the wind? Maybe, with a freeze, the untreated wounds of the wounded Japanese soldiers can stop bleeding?
Well, Chi Dakui's idea makes sense. Low temperature can indeed slow down the flow of blood. If the blood freezes into popsicles, it will naturally stop flowing.
Anyway, the independent regiment did not massacre the wounded soldiers. The Japanese wounded soldiers left in the leeward were 440. In the end, a single Miao Miao survived after the war. It is said that the Japanese second-class soldier who survived by chance was very angry with Liu Lang, the top commander of the Chinese military at the time.
The colonel was so grateful for his kindness that decades later he wanted to come to China to meet Liu Lang to express his gratitude in person.
Liu Lang refused rather angrily.
Paralyzed, how can such a person be so soft and hard? It's so cold that it doesn't freeze to death. These are Liu Lang's exact words.
What Yu Xiancheng reported was the seizure of up to 600 38-guns, six or seven crooked machine guns, and two intact Type 92 machine guns. Liu Lang did not blink and handed them over to Tang Yongming's three battalions.
, which made the four officers of the 29th Army so happy that their mouths almost split open to the back of their heads.
The Independent Regiment is a local tycoon who looks down on these things, but most of the equipment of the soldiers of the 29th Army are made by the old Han Yang. These 600 38-gun caps are a good thing for the 29th Army, and there will be no shortage of ammunition. Many Japanese soldiers have them.
It carries nearly 200 rounds of ammunition! Not to mention those machine guns. For the 29th Army, which has only two or three light machine guns in a company and is extremely lacking in fire support, it is simply a big pie falling from the sky. It almost killed several colonels.
The officer was knocked unconscious.
As for Yu Xiancheng's later report that he had seized 13 intact Type 41 mountain guns with 1,200 rounds of artillery shells, as well as pack horses and other baggage that had not yet been fully accounted for, Tang Yongming and the three battalion commanders said that they did not have specialized artillery.
No more, just leave it all to the independent group.
People must be self-aware. If someone is polite to you and you are really rude, there will be no next time. The emotional intelligence of several national military officers is not low in this regard.
