At ten o'clock the next morning, after driving all night and night, Colonel Yongsheng finally arrived at Liulin County.
"The troops will enter the city immediately, set up the radio station, and contact the division headquarters... Our military shoelace supplies will be sent to the county warehouse immediately!"
As soon as he rode his war horse to the city gate, a captain officer was brought over by the guards.
"Sir, the commander of the second infantry brigade who is stationed in Liulin County has been ordered to report and ask for instructions, sir!"
"Also, last night the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on all our garrison strongholds on the Liulin front line. A total of five strongholds were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army. At any time, there were more than 2,300 people from the Imperial Army and the Imperial Alliance Army~"
"Now, in the entire Liulin, apart from the troops you just brought, sir, there is only a strengthened squadron led by a humble commander, with a total strength of less than 300 people!"
"The division commander sent a telegram at five o'clock in the morning. Because you are on the march and cannot be contacted, sir, he requires you to send a telegram to the division headquarters as soon as you enter Liulin County!"
"Nani? Killed more than 2,000 of our troops in one night, and even your captain was killed!" Colonel Yongsheng was frightened and asked with a look of disbelief.
The captain's face also looked very ugly, and he lowered his head and replied: "Yes, sir..."
"As soon as our captain and the remaining 700 people from the Second Battalion arrived at the battlefield, they were surrounded by the Eighth Route Army... The battle only lasted a few hours and ended. Not only did the Second Battalion fight against more than 700 people, Yuan Liulin also
The remaining garrison of more than 800 imperial troops and more than 700 imperial auxiliary troops were all wiped out in this attack~"
"In the five battlefields, except for the corpses of the killed Imperial Army and Imperial Alliance Army, and the strongholds that had been bombed into ruins, nothing else was left. Even the uniforms of the dead soldiers were taken away by the Eighth Route Army!
"
"Bagh Yalu~" Colonel Yongsheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.
He sighed and said: "Now it seems that the next sweep will not be as easy as we thought!"
"Go to the headquarters now and send a telegram to the division commander to determine the new raid plan!"
At the Second Regiment station dozens of kilometers away, everyone had smiles on their faces.
The battle last night was the most comfortable battle that the brigade commanders had fought since they were established in the Suide Military Region, and it was also the most enjoyable battle. From the beginning of the battle, they fought against the Japanese and puppet troops, which had never happened before.
Pass.
Seeing the commander walking in, the chief of staff, holding the battle report in his hand, excitedly reported: "Commander, this raid was so exciting. Five regiments were sent out, a total of 6,000 troops, and the total loss was only 800."
Many people, and less than 500 people died. However, we eliminated more than 1,500 Japanese and more than 700 puppet troops! Among them, there were two Japanese major captains, and a large number of weapons and equipment were seized! The only one
The only disadvantage is that it uses a lot more ammunition!”
"However, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang is right, the greater the effort, the greater the reward!"
"Because we used a large number of mountain artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns. The entire battle lasted less than three hours from beginning to end. Many Japanese and puppet troops were beaten by our artillery shells and bullets during the battle.
Damn it, it’s too late to destroy the weapons and ammunition you’re equipped with!”
"In addition, the entire battle lasted very short time, and the Japanese and puppet troops only used less than half of the ammunition they carried with them. We captured all the remaining ammunition, including the ammunition stocks that the Japanese and puppet troops brought into the stronghold!
"
"In addition to replenishing the combat losses of the third brigade, we also brought back more than 1,300 rifles, more than 40 light and heavy machine guns, nine mortars, four infantry guns, and more than 200,000 rounds of various ammunition.
, there are more than 500 rounds of infantry artillery shells alone, and more than 1,400 mortar shells!"
"Another regiment's equipment has been obtained!" Commander Wang said happily.
Then he stared at Wang Ping and said with emotion: "I don't know if comrades have noticed that since Comrade Wang Ping came, the war in our military region seems to have gone much more smoothly, and we have captured more than before!"
"Yes... Deputy Chief of Staff Wang is the lucky star of our military region... Commander, if you can keep Deputy Chief of Staff Wang in our military region, I am willing to give him the position of commander of the Second Brigade!"
"I can also give him my position as chief of staff!" the chief of staff added.
Commander Wang shook his head and replied: "Don't think about this. Don't look at Comrade Wang Ping as just a regiment commander. In the Taiyue Military Region, he has more troops than our entire Suide Military Region. Even if I take the position of commander
If you give it to him, he may not be willing to stay!"
"Okay, let's get back to business and continue talking about the seizures!"
"Chief of Staff, please make arrangements. All the captured weapons will be used to replenish each regiment. No new troops will be established. The old weapons equipped by each regiment will be replaced first, and then handed over to local troops for use!"
"As for the light and heavy machine guns, we strive to have one for each infantry platoon in the main force of the military region, nine heavy machine guns for each regiment, and one heavy machine gun platoon for each main battalion. Each regiment will be assigned nine mortars.
, set up a mortar company..."
"In addition, the military region will soon face a heavy raid by the Japanese. We don't know when we will be able to replenish the ammunition for the troops. Therefore, the ammunition of each battalion must be replenished before the Japanese raid begins."
"This time, we will follow Deputy Chief of Staff Wang's suggestion and carry out a luxurious counter-mopping up!"
"Ordinary riflemen are equipped with fifty rounds of bullets each, each light machine gun is equipped with 500 rounds of bullets, each heavy machine gun is equipped with 2,000 rounds of bullets, and mortars are equipped with fifty rounds of artillery shells. In addition, each regiment
Divide another 50,000 rounds of reserve ammunition and 300 reserve artillery shells!"
"Commander, are you telling the truth?" Everyone in the headquarters stared at Commander Wang, showing expressions of shock and disbelief.
You know, in the past when fighting against the Japanese, the situation was no worse than it is now.
However, the ammunition provided to everyone by the military area can definitely be described as pitifully little.
Ordinary soldiers can only get five rounds of ammunition for each battle, so the regiment headquarters is thankful to have 10,000 rounds of ammunition in reserve.
"Of course it's true..." Commander Wang affirmed without hesitation.
"According to the combat plan formulated by Deputy Chief of Staff Wang, as long as we can carry out this counter-mopping operation, we will seize all the weapons and ammunition brought by the Japanese from Luliang. Do you know how much ammunition that is? A main infantry regiment,
A cavalry regiment, a field artillery brigade, plus a puppet brigade’s combat reserves for nearly two months!”
"The Japs are not like us. They have ample ammunition and are well-equipped. Their two-month ammunition reserve amounts to six to seven hundred rounds of ammunition per Japanese and puppet soldier on average!"
"Coupled with the ammunition for heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry artillery, and field artillery, it can simply be described as a mountain of ammunition."
"As long as we capture them, we can not only replenish all the ammunition we used in this counter-mopping operation, but also have a lot of surplus!"
"So, in this counter-sweep operation, everyone must follow my orders and carry out the campaign!"
"If there is a problem with the battalion commander, I will remove the battalion commander... If there is a problem with the regiment commander, I will remove the regiment commander~"
"Of course, if I give you so much ammunition, you and I must produce results that satisfy me."
"Except for the third brigade and the two regiments commanded by Deputy Chief of Staff Wang, each of the remaining five regiments must kill at least 500 Japanese puppet troops after they enter our base area..."
"Please rest assured, chief, and promise to complete the mission!" several brigade leaders replied with excitement and confidence on their faces.
