In the Huangnipu stronghold, the fire caused by the explosion of ammunition has been extinguished by the militia.
Although the Huangnipu stronghold has just suffered a cluster bombing of two hundred unscrupulous guns, now I am afraid that even a complete bunker cannot be found, and even a complete piece of equipment is difficult to find, but no matter what, it is still possible
A lot of useful military supplies can be found in the rubble of the stronghold.
For example, food, clothing, etc.
Another example is parts. Even if none of the complete artillery can be found, even if there is not a single intact vehicle, some usable parts can be removed from the wreckage of these artillery and vehicles, right? Even if there are no usable parts
, it is always possible to transport it back and recycle it as scrap steel.
And those guns, even if they are damaged, they can be used after being repaired.
In short, there are useful resources everywhere as long as you look hard enough.
Therefore, as soon as the fire was extinguished, the county brigade of the official and county militia immediately moved into the stronghold, seizing the time to clean up the battlefield and collect all kinds of residual materials.
Xu Rui and Wang Husheng also walked into the ruins of Huangnipu stronghold.
Looking around, I can see that there is no complete building in the entire stronghold. The three gun towers, which are the core fortifications of the entire stronghold, have all been blown down. Among the ruins, half a thigh or a piece can be vaguely seen.
Arms, they were all unlucky Japanese soldiers buried alive by the rubble.
In addition to those who were buried alive, the open space was also littered with corpses of Japanese soldiers. By the light of the fire, Wang Husheng carefully looked at the corpses nearby and found that none of them had any conspicuous wounds or bleeding. The only thing that was normal was that they were buried alive.
What's different about humans is that these corpses have some brown spots on their exposed skin.
Two militiamen hurriedly came over and lifted up a corpse in front of Wang Husheng. Just after the corpse was lifted up by the two militiamen, darkness suddenly flowed from his ears, nostrils, corners of his eyes and the corners of his mouth.
The black blood like ink and the bleeding from the seven orifices looked very scary.
Xu Rui said to Wang Husheng: "These unlucky guys were all shocked to death by the explosives. Although there were no wounds on the surface, their internal organs were actually shattered."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "Most of those who broke through the encirclement also had their internal organs damaged by the shock. I am afraid they will not survive for a few days. In the next few days, a large number of prisoners of the Iida detachment will die, and
They can't be saved at all, so there's no need to bother escorting them back to Dameishan, let's just lock them up in Guan County for the time being."
Wang Husheng nodded, then squatted down and pulled out this soldier's ID card from the corpse of a Taiwanese soldier.
He saw Li Chujiu written in the name column, with both a given name and a surname. Wang Husheng turned around and said to Officer De Sheng of the Guanxian County Militia Brigade: "Old officer, collect all the soldier IDs of these Taiwanese soldiers, and then put their names
By recording it, maybe their relatives will come to look for them in a few decades and have a place to pay their respects."
"Yes." Captain Guan Desheng of the Guanxian Militia County Brigade immediately gave an order to the militiamen who were cleaning the battlefield. In addition to collecting various materials, the militiamen had an additional task, which was to help collect these Taiwanese soldiers.
The relics on the body, no matter what, can be regarded as compatriots after all.
The battlefield is being cleaned here, and He Guangming, Gao Chu and Wan Zhongshan are coming over there.
Still far away, He Guangming shouted loudly: "Commander, it's too unpleasant. I haven't even tasted this battle yet. Lu Yue's Iida detachment has already been beaten."
It's clean, no, no, no, it doesn't count this time, I have to do something bigger."
Gao Chu also shouted: "That's right, I just watched the old cow having sex, it was so unsatisfactory."
Only Wan Zhongshan didn't say anything. Although Wan Zhongshan is a Northeastern man, he always keeps a low profile.
As soon as Niu Dazhuang walked up behind Xu Rui, he immediately retorted after hearing this: "It seems that our artillery battalion had so much fun fighting. Grandma is a bear. Didn't you see that our artillery battalion just now was basically
Are you just fooling around? It’s so fun!”
"Hey, are you enjoying your eggs? Are your eggs so satisfying?" He Guangming screamed loudly, "Old Niu, did you do anything bad with your eggs just now?"
Gao Chu also followed suit and said, "Hurry up and tell me honestly, have you caused trouble to some daughter-in-law?"
"Go, I want to harm your Chu Chu." Niu Dazhuang said, "Last time you were not at home, I climbed over the wall of your courtyard, but your Chu Chu didn't open the door to me, grandma."
"I'll go, Old Niu, you're tired of living, aren't you?" Gao Chu said angrily, "You dare to climb over my courtyard wall?"
"Why, I just climbed over the wall of your courtyard. Next time I have to climb over, maybe your Chu Chu will open the door for me."
"I'm going to stab you, right? See if I don't kill you. Camp, help me. Help me kill this guy."
"Okay, I've long disliked this guy. Last time we held a battle meeting, he even challenged me."
Seeing that several of his subordinates were talking more and more openly, making more and more outrageous noises, and not looking like soldiers at all, Wang Husheng couldn't stand it any longer and lectured: "Pay attention to me, look at you, where are you?"
A little bit like a soldier? They are just a bunch of veterans and bandits! Do you still want to join the Communist Party like this?"
Xu Rui also chimed in and said, "Did you hear that? Go back and reflect on it!"
The heads of He Guangming, Gao Chu and Niu Dazhuang immediately drooped.
While talking, Qiu Feng and Tiegang also rushed back one after another, and reported the preliminary results to Xu Rui and Wang Husheng. The guard battalion wiped out more than a thousand enemies, including more than 800 captured alive. The cavalry battalion was even more incredible, wiping out six enemies.
Of the more than a thousand, five thousand were captured alive, and the march of the captives alone was several miles long!
Once the battle results are added up, it is very certain that the Iida detachment has been basically wiped out!
Then, He Shuya's correspondent also arrived and reported another good news to Xu Rui. The Japs who came from Bengbu and Huainan had also retreated. Obviously, the Japs who came from Bengbu and Huainan for reinforcements had already learned about Iida.
There was news that the whole detachment was destroyed, so the rescue was abandoned.
After listening to the report, Wang Husheng felt like he was in a dream.
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, how did I feel that it was so unreal? The Iida detachment was wiped out by us like this? God, this is a whole detachment with nearly 10,000 people!"
"Old Wang, this is actually not surprising at all." Xu Rui smiled coldly and added, "Because of the battle at Huangnipu, the old devil Shojiro Iida made two mistakes in a row, and both were fatal mistakes!
"
Wang Husheng chuckled and asked again: "What two mistakes did this old devil make?"
Xu Rui said: "The first mistake the old Japanese made was that he should not stay in the Huangnipu stronghold."
"Shouldn't the Iida detachment stay at the Huangnipu stronghold?" Wang Husheng said with some confusion, "But I think this is correct. The fortifications at the Huangnipu stronghold are stronger and more complete than those at Bengbu. Since it is connected to the Huangnipu stronghold,
Even the fortifications cannot save the Iida detachment, and the dilapidated city wall fortifications in Bengbu cannot save the Iida detachment."
"This is not a matter of whether the fortifications are strong or not. Facing unscrupulous artillery cluster bombings, unless it is a fortress fortification, the result will be the same." Xu Rui shook his head and continued, "The key to the problem is, if the Iida detachment retracts
When we get to Bengbu, due to the terrain of the city, the Iida detachment must separate its troops for guarding, so as to avoid making the second mistake!"
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, you are saying that the second mistake Iida Shojiro made was to concentrate on defense."
Xu Rui nodded and said: "To be precise, the second mistake Iida made was being too clingy."
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "This old devil Shojiro Iida is too cautious. In order to prevent our Wolf Fang team from taking advantage of the opportunity, he actually ordered the entire detachment to shrink into a ball and hide in the stronghold. He
Although this avoids the chance of being defeated by the Wolf Fang Squadron one by one, it also gives the unscrupulous cannons a God-given opportunity to focus on annihilation. If Iida Shojiro hadn't made mistakes again and again in today's battle, we would have completely annihilated the Iida detachment.
, it will definitely not be so easy."
Wang Husheng said: "This means that we were lucky to win the Huangnipu battle?"
"It's really a fluke." Xu Rui said, "If we didn't have these two hundred heartless cannons, or if Iida Shojiro made one less mistake, it would be difficult for us to break through the Huangnipu stronghold before dawn. As long as we wait until dawn,
As soon as the Japanese bombers arrive, we will be in big trouble, and even if we break through the stronghold before dawn, our own casualties will definitely not be small. At that time, even if we win in the end, it will be a tragic victory."
Wang Husheng said: "Old Xu, when you say this, why am I not happy at all?"
"There is nothing to be happy about in the first place." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he turned his attention to He Guangming and other regiment commanders, and then said, "Also, you guys must not let Huangnipu stronghold be the reason.
If you fight, you will misjudge the strength of the enemy and ours, otherwise, in the next battle, you will have to fall into a big fight sooner or later."
This last sentence is what Xu Rui really wants to say, in order to prevent his regiment and battalion commanders from being too proud and underestimating the enemy, because the battle of Huangnipu was won too easily.
"Yes!" He Guangming stood at attention with a stern expression.
They could turn a deaf ear to Wang Husheng's words, but none of them dared not listen to what Xu Rui said, because countless facts have fully proved that what Xu Rui said is often the truth.
Xu Rui added: "Leave the matter of cleaning the battlefield to the militia. You should quickly lead the troops back to the station. Let the brothers have a good meal first, and then have a good sleep. After dark, immediately force the march to Shan County!"
"
"Yes!" Several regiment and battalion commanders stood at attention again and turned around.
