The Langya Brigade did not suffer any casualties. Last night, they fought all night in the forest and snowfields of Hunchun Ridge. Only three of the more than 130 members of the entire brigade were killed. The dead were all new members, and there were two more new members.
Wounded, this number of casualties is almost negligible compared to the little devil.
But neither Leng Tiefeng nor Xu Rui were satisfied with the result.
The reason why the two of them were dissatisfied was not that they were dissatisfied with the number of enemies killed by the Langya Brigade, but that they were dissatisfied with the effect! Although they killed a lot of Japanese special forces last night, they failed to achieve the goals they set before the war.
The Ya Brigade was actually blocked by the Japanese special forces in front of the blockade, and was unable to pose a threat to the Japanese on the blockade!
"Old Xu, it seems that we were a little too optimistic before." Leng Tiefeng said, "If we take the initiative to attack, the Japanese special operations division is no match for us, but if it is just used as a watchdog, it can still do the job.
Yes! Now, we won’t be able to force the Japanese to retreat through endless harassment like we did during the first counter-mopping up."
In the first anti-mopping operation, the Japanese chose to retreat in the end because they could not withstand the endless cold guns and night raids of the Langya Brigade. But now, with the special operations division acting as a barrier, they can
The main Japanese troops participating in the raids were spared from being harassed by the Langya Brigade, and it would be difficult to repeat the situation of the first counter- raid.
"Are you afraid of him?" Zhuanshan Leopard on the side suddenly interjected, "Last night, at least, we killed more than 300 Japs. The total number of Japs' special operations division is more than 3,500 people. At this rate,
It will take at most two weeks to finish the killing, and by then we will be free to deal with the main force of the Japanese."
"You know nothing!" Leng Tiefeng immediately turned around and reprimanded, "Yesterday was just the first battle between the Japanese Special Operations Division and our Langya Brigade. The reason why the Japanese Special Operations Division suffered such a big loss
, not only because their skills are inferior to others, but also a very important reason is that they have not really fought against us."
Xu Rui nodded and said with deep approval: "Veteran, you are right, we cannot hope that the Japanese special operations division will never improve. In fact, the Japanese are not stupid, but are very smart, especially good at
Study! After suffering a loss last night, they will definitely conclude that in the next few days, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese special operations division will be significantly improved!"
Leng Tiefeng said: "So, if our Langya Brigade wants to achieve the results last night in the next battle, it will definitely become more and more difficult, and our own casualties will also become greater and greater!" After a pause,
Then he said, "So in the end, even if our Langya team wins, it will only be a miserable victory!"
…
At the foot of Hunchun Ridge, the Japanese special operations division is stationed.
After his body ached, Asahi Tsunoda continued: "But fortunately, our special operations division did not gain nothing from last night's battle. At least our experience in night operations has been greatly improved compared to before!" After a pause.
, and said, "And I firmly believe that as combat experience becomes more and more abundant, the combat effectiveness of our special operations division will also be significantly improved. In future battles, the casualties of our special operations division and the Langya troops will be
The ratio will definitely gradually shrink!”
"Sodes." Miura Takayuki nodded and said, "Order each special operations squadron to sum up their experience."
"Hai!" Tsunoda Asahi said loudly, and then conveyed orders to the special operations squadron one by one.
However, Miura Takayuki drove to the frontline headquarters of the Seventh Army and reported the battle situation to Yamashita Fengwen face to face.
When Miura Takayuki arrived, Yamashita Tomofumi and Kobayashi Asaburo were sitting around having breakfast.
"Miura-kun, you came just in time." Yamashita Fengwen raised the military enamel jar in his hand and said with a smile, "Let's eat something together?"
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki nodded heavily, and then said, "No need, I have already had breakfast at the division headquarters."
Yamashita Fengwen nodded, and immediately put the enamel jar on the table, took the towel from the orderly and wiped his mouth, then stood up and said: "Miura-kun, you did a good job last night!"
Miura Takayuki lowered his head and said nothing, but he felt a little surprised in his heart.
On the way to the headquarters, Miura Takayuki had been worried that he would be scolded by Yamashita Tobumi, but the result was exactly the opposite.
What surprised Miura Takayuki even more was that Asaburo Kobayashi, who had always disliked him, actually became kind to him this time, and said with a smile: "Miura-kun, the performance of your special operations division last night was indeed good.
Yes, the three main divisions stationed outside the blockade did not suffer any harassment. This is really surprising!"
"It's also very surprising." Yamashita Fengwen said, "Xu Rui's Wolf Fang troops have always been arrogant and domineering, but this time, they finally met their opponents. To be honest, I am very satisfied with the performance of your special operations division!
"After a pause, he continued, "But Miura-kun, you must not be proud, and you must continue to work hard."
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki responded with a heavy pause.
At this time, Asaburo Kobayashi asked again: "Miura-kun, the casualties must have been considerable last night, right?"
"Hai!" Miura Takashi said, and he immediately nodded and responded, "More than three hundred casualties."
After finishing speaking, Miura Takayuki originally thought that Asaburo Kobayashi would take the opportunity to ridicule him, but he did not expect that the other party did not do so and instead comforted him.
Yamashita Fengwen also said: "The casualties are a bit high, but fortunately, this is only the first real battle between your special operations division and the Spike Force, so it is understandable that the casualties are higher, and, I firmly believe that,
The performance of the special operations division will definitely get better and better in the coming battles."
"Hai!" Miura Takayuki paused again.
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily, and then said, "Miura-kun, you have been tired for the whole night. Go back and rest. The next battlefield will be left to the main divisions on the front line. Last night, the Wolf Fang troops
I’m tired all night, and I probably won’t attack again during the day, so I should be fine.”
"Hai!" Miura Takaichi paused, turned around and left.
Watching Miura Takayuki's figure go away, Kobayashi Asaburo turned to Yamashita Tomofumi and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the special operations division was able to block the attack of the Wolf Fang troops at night, so that the main divisions on the front line were protected from attack.
The attack of Wolf Fang is really an unexpected surprise, and our situation will be better now."
"Sodes." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily and asked, "Have the first batch of civilians arrived?"
"Hai, the first batch of 800 civilian laborers recruited from Hunchun County has arrived at the designated location." Asaburo Kobayashi nodded solemnly, and then said, "The second batch of civilian laborers recruited from Tumen County will also arrive at the foot of Hunchun Ridge at noon.
, and then we can start large-scale felling of the virgin forest at the western foot of Hunchun Mountains."
"Yo Xi." Yamashita Fengwen nodded happily after hearing this.
…
Wujiashan Fortress, New Regiment Headquarters.
Leng Tiefeng and the others have already gone back to rest. The Langya Brigade fought almost continuously for twenty-four hours during the day and night yesterday, and they are already exhausted. Even machines need a rest, let alone people.
Xu Rui is also very tired, but he is the leader and has many things to deal with.
The regimental commander is in charge of fighting, and the political commissar is in charge of life. Although Wang Husheng helps with many trivial matters in life, Xu Rui is busy enough even with war matters. For example, how to arrange the deployment of troops in the Hunchunling Fortress Group?
Xu Rui had to decide how to deploy the firepower of a certain fortress, how many machine guns and how many artillery pieces to place.
Although the Hunchunling fortress group has not yet been completely built, because the surface fortifications facing the western foot of Hunchunling have not yet been excavated, the main tunnels and bunkers in the heart of the mountain have been basically repaired, so the defense deployment of the entire fortress group has not yet been completed.
It's time to start thinking about it. We can't always let the Soviet troops garrison on our behalf, right?
While we were busy here, Wang Husheng walked in anxiously.
"Old Xu is broken!" Wang Husheng said anxiously as soon as he came in, "The underground party in Yanji County has just sent an urgent message, saying that the Japanese are arresting civilians in Yanji County!" After a pause, he added, "Hunchun underground party
Comrades from the party also sent news, saying that all the young people in the county have been forcibly taken away by the Japanese and they don’t know where they will be sent.”
"What did you say?" Xu Rui frowned when he heard this, "The Japanese are arresting civilians in Hunchun and Yanji County?"
"Isn't it?" Wang Husheng nodded heavily and said, "Although there is no news yet from Tumen County and Wangqing County, I believe that the little devils must also be arresting civilians in these two counties!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Nan's figure hurriedly walked in again.
"Political Commissar of the Regiment." Jiang Nan reported to the two of them as soon as he came in, "The Political Department has just received urgent information from the underground parties in Tumen County and Wangqing County, saying that the Japanese Gendarmerie and the Puppet Manchukuo Army are fighting in both areas.
Counties, towns, and towns arrested civilians, and almost all the young men were taken away by the little devils."
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, are the Japanese going to continue to carry out the poisonous plan of removing salary from the bottom of the cauldron?"
"It's not like pulling people out of the cauldron." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "If it were pulling out the wages under the cauldron, we should arrest the old and the children together, not just the young and strong!" After a pause, he added, "Looking at this situation, it's obvious that the devils are here.
They want to carry out large-scale construction projects, and if nothing else happens, they should be coming to our Hunchunling base area!"
Wang Husheng looked stern when he heard this: "Here for our base area? What do the Japanese want to do by arresting so many civilians?"
"There are many things that can be done." Xu Rui smiled and added, "For example, cutting down all the virgin forests at the western foot of Hunchun Ridge will simplify the battlefield environment to the greatest extent, and reduce the threat of the Langya Brigade.
It will also be weakened to the greatest extent, and the civilians can also be forced to build bunker fortifications and blockade the Hunchunling base area."
