"Without artillery and heavy machine guns, the Japs are like tigers without fangs, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least 30%!" Commander Wang replied with excitement on his face as well.
At this time, the chief of staff next to him spoke again.
"Commander, Commander Zhou has deployed half of his heavy firepower to deal with the Japanese infantry!"
"Their infantry losses seem to be very heavy. Faced with a regiment's attack, there seems to be no room to fight back!"
Commander Wang replied: "Lao Zhou played well today!"
"This method of ambushing the Japanese is completely different from what we used before. He must have listened to Wang Ping's introduction at the headquarters, and then made bold changes and made the arrangement in front of him! However, this arrangement is really
It’s effective. It’s much more effective than our previous methods of fighting the Japanese. It saves troops and reduces casualties!”
As he spoke, the gunshots rang out on the battlefield not only did not become sparse, but became more and more intensive.
"Commander, the first battalion and the first company also joined the battle, and even repelled the Japanese breakout and killed dozens of them!" The chief of staff, who had been holding up the telescope, shouted excitedly with an increasingly excited expression on his face.
Commander Wang stared at the battlefield and asked the chief of staff beside him: "How many troops do we still have in hand, the troops near the battlefield!"
"There is also a guard company and a fire company's mortar platoon that doesn't seem to be participating in the battle either!"
Commander Wang frowned and began to give orders: "Tell Commander Zhou that I will wipe out all the Japanese and puppet troops in their ambush circle. Let the guard company go up and find Lao Zhou and listen to his command~"
"Also, tell him that the artillery platoon I gave him is not for watching, but for fighting the Japanese. Ask him to give me all the thirty rounds of artillery shells he brought. There are many Japanese in the photovoltaic circle.
Fight somewhere!”
The chief of staff was stunned for several seconds before reacting.
If it were before, half the regiment would definitely not have a chance to kill the 400-day puppet army.
However, the battle in front of him gave him hope. He immediately replied: "I will go over right away and go to the battlefield in person to find Lao Zhou..."
"Okay, by the way, tell him that the battle must be ended within half an hour and then withdraw from the battle!"
What Commander Wang didn't expect was that less than ten minutes after he gave the order, the gunshots coming from the battlefield slowly stopped amid a series of explosions.
Less than five minutes after the complete stop, Captain Zhou rushed over with excitement.
"Commander, we win... We only used half a regiment to kill the 400-day puppet army, and it only took less than half an hour. It's unbelievable."
After saying that, Commander Zhou stared at Commander Wang and asked, "I wonder when Commander Wang and the others will come back. After this operation is over, can we let him stay in the military area for two more days?"
"What! What's the matter?" A trace of confusion quickly flashed across Commander Wang's excited face, and then he stared at Captain Zhou and asked.
"I want to ask Commander Wang how he fights!" Commander Zhou answered directly without any embarrassment.
Then he explained: "You don't know, this ambush battle was so neat~ I have been fighting for so long, and I have never been so happy!"
The chief of staff next to him frowned and reminded: "But, Old Zhou, for these four hundred days of puppet troops, you have used a lot of ammunition, and you have assembled more than twenty light and heavy machine guns. If from now on we will
If we fight like this every battle, our little wealth will be completely exhausted in less than two battles. By then, without bullets, the rifles in our hands will not even be as good as fire sticks!"
Commander Wang also showed an expression of approval on his face, and replied with a long sigh: "I also saw the battle just now, and I also thought that every battle we fought was so big. But we simply can't afford such a luxurious battle!
"
The excited expression on the face of Captain Zhou next to him was not affected.
After the chief of staff and commander finished speaking, he asked: "Commander...chief of staff, guess how many weapons and ammunition we can seize in this ambush!"
No one knows this better than the Chief of Staff.
In the position of chief of staff of the military region, he has hundreds if not thousands of various battle reports in his hands.
Therefore, he answered with almost no hesitation: "According to the normal intensity of the battle, it would be good to capture two hundred rifles in such an ambush. As for the ammunition, even if the Japanese don't use up all the ammunition, they will destroy it before they die.
It would be great if we could seize 20,000 to 30,000 rounds of ammunition!"
"There should not be two hundred rifles. We used mortars in the battle, and the shelling should have destroyed a lot of weapons and ammunition!"
Commander Zhou shook his head and replied: "Commander, Chief of Staff, you all underestimate Commander Wang's style of play!"
"Captain Wang said that their new regiment basically used this method to ambush the Japanese. If the number of captures was so small, it would be impossible for the new regiment to grow from a few hundred people to more than 10,000 people!"
"The Japanese mortar squad and heavy machine gun squad were all killed by us immediately. We didn't even have a chance to destroy these weapons and ammunition. They were all captured by us!"
"As for the ordinary Japanese infantry, they were all killed by us with bullets on the battlefield. We had no time to destroy the weapons and ammunition, so most of the weapons and ammunition were seized by us!"
"I only know the number of heavy weapons now. There are four heavy machine guns, four mortars, more than 30 boxes of artillery shells, and 16 boxes of heavy machine gun bullets. Rifles, light machine guns, grenades, and supporting ammunition are not available yet.
Statistically speaking, it is definitely indispensable!”
"In other words, even though we used so much ammunition in this battle, not only did we not lose money, but we also captured a large amount of weapons and ammunition!" Commander Wang asked, staring at Captain Zhou.
"Wang Ping's new team relies on this style of play to grow and develop bit by bit!"
Commander Wang slowly showed a thoughtful expression on his face before he answered.
"Now I finally understand what Wang Ping always says: the greater the investment, the greater the gain!"
"In the past, we were too poor. When fighting, we were always timid and did not dare to fight to the death. We would rather keep most of the ammunition to prevent accidents, or leave many troops as reserves instead of fighting to the death.
"
"But Wang Ping is different. He is cautious, has a unique vision, and is courageous, so he has the courage to try this style of play, and then lead a new group to fight stronger and stronger!"
"In a word, poverty limits our imagination, our thinking and courage to take risks!"
"Old Zhou, after the battle is over, you have to summarize the entire battle process and formulate it in writing. I want to promote it throughout the military region!"
"Although we are very poor, we cannot be blindly cautious. We must take the risks we should take!"
"As for Wang Ping, after the battle, I will keep him in the base area for one more day. At that time, let him teach all the cadres above the battalion in our military region. You know, in addition to studying in the military academy, Wang Ping is also a teacher. He teaches everything
They are division and brigade level cadres of our Eighth Route Army!"
"We got a big advantage by letting him give us battalion cadres!"
"When the time comes, you must dig out as much as possible from Wang Ping's stomach!"
"Yes, Commander~" Commander Zhou replied expectantly and excitedly!
