The regiment leader Wang Ping also came over at this time. Looking at the corpse of the Japanese captain in front of him that had been found by the soldiers, Wang Ping finally had a smile on his serious face and he completely relaxed.
"Chief of Staff, we finally won the battle. It's still the old rule, take away everything you can on the battlefield, and don't leave a single bullet for the Japanese."
"As for the corpses of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, when they retreat, I will send a puppet soldier back to report the news and let them send their own people to collect the corpses!"
A cavalry brigade of nearly 400 cavalry was wiped out. For the independent regiment, the gain was certainly not small.
Apart from anything else, the scattered war horses that escaped on the light battlefield were valuable treasures to the independent regiment.
What's more, the Japanese cavalry is not like the Ma's army with backward equipment. Most of them are only equipped with cold weapons.
The entire cavalry brigade almost has a Type 38 horse rifle, and even a lot of crooked weapons. Even if the independent regiment does not have cavalry to use these equipment, there is no problem at all in equipping the infantry.
It took a full two hours for the battlefield to be cleared.
Before Zeng Quan, who rushed over, had finished speaking, Wang Ping's excited face showed his troops. He must have gained a lot.
Sure enough, as soon as Zeng Quan opened his mouth, Wang Ping also laughed.
"Commander, we have made a fortune. Our artillery company is finally worthy of its name!"
"The two infantry cannons brought out of the city by the Japanese army were intact, and together with the shells, they were all captured by us."
"Although three mortars were blown up, the remaining three were intact and all became our trophies."
"More importantly, we captured a large number of mortar shells. Especially the Japanese who were walking in front pulled a whole truckload of mortar shells, and they were all captured by us. Not only did we replenish our consumption on the battlefield,
There’s still plenty left!”
"Several heavy machine guns were also blown up, but four were still intact and were captured by us."
"19 directly usable crooked guns were seized, three Czech-made rifles were seized, 17 grenade launchers were seized, 495 38-guns were seized, 218 domestic rifles equipped by the Imperial Army were seized, and the Japanese army
295 horse rifles equipped by the cavalry and 42 pistols of various types were seized."
"As for the ammunition, there are too many. After every soldier who participated in the war has completed the trenches, there is still a lot left. Because the quantity is too large and too miscellaneous, they have been gathered together for the time being. We will make detailed statistics when we return home."
"In addition, we also harvested 98 intact horses, 25 injured horses that did not affect the march, and the other horses were killed, but the horse meat will not be wasted. I am asking the cooking teams of each company to collect the horse meat.
With more than 200 war horses, you can easily gather 50,000 pieces of horse meat!"
"In addition, 149 puppet soldiers were captured, and more than 1,600 sets of intact military uniforms and linen were seized!"
"The last thing is the number of enemies we have wiped out. After repeated confirmation, Commander, the enemies you led the main force of the regiment to destroy were all Japanese. There are a total of three infantry squadrons, plus those killed by the third battalion. In addition to missing two mortar squads, two
A heavy machine gun squad and an integrated infantry brigade of the Japanese army were all wiped out by us."
"In addition to the more than 100 people we captured in a battalion of the Imperial Association Army, we also killed all the others!"
"We fought more thoroughly against the Japanese cavalry brigade. Counting from the brigade captain down, more than 300 people were wiped out by us. The entire cavalry brigade disappeared from the Japanese mixed brigade."
"By the way, a total of three radios were found on the battlefield, but because one was blown up by a grenade, we only captured two!"
"I also didn't let go of the weapons and ammunition that were blown up on the battlefield. I asked the soldiers to collect them all and put them on carts to take them back. Even if they can't be used directly, they can at least be used as accessories!"
Before Zeng Quan could finish speaking, Wang Ping shouted loudly: "Xu Guang, where did Xu Guang go?"
"Here, Commander, I'm commanding the communications platoon to check the two radios to see if they can be used immediately." Xu Guang, leader of the communications platoon who dug out from the military subdivision, rushed over to report with excitement.
When he was in the military subdivision, because there were limited radio stations, although he was a radio operator, he rarely had access to radio stations.
After arriving in the Independent Regiment, the regiment leader not only directly promoted himself from a radio operator to a communications platoon leader, making himself a company-level cadre of the Eighth Route Army, but also directly gave himself a radio station.
Now, less than a month after he joined the Independent Regiment, the communications platoon has acquired two more radio stations. As a radio operator, no one in the entire Independent Regiment is more excited than him.
While excited, he finally understood a problem.
As the communications platoon leader, he is the best radio operator in the regiment. He was supposed to guard the only radio station in the independent regiment, but the regiment leader actually asked himself to follow him and handed over the regiment's only radio station.
A new operator who has just learned from me.
I didn't understand the reason at the time, but Xu Guang understands now.
From the beginning, the group leader must have thought that the radio station would be captured when he came out this time, and then he allowed himself to follow.
As expected, Wang Ping ordered as soon as he ran over.
"As long as the radio can be used! Send a telegram to the political commissar immediately and order Director Jiang of the Logistics Department to bring the baggage company, all the baggage trucks and horses in the regiment, plus five companies of recruits, to come here immediately to transport supplies.
Be fast!”
"I'll send a telegram right away!" Xu Guang replied quickly.
Zeng Quan asked in confusion at this time: "Captain, is it necessary for so many people to come? With so many people coming out, we should be able to bring back the captured equipment and supplies. What's more, we also captured a lot of war horses and big guns.
car!"
Wang Ping frowned and asked: "I can bring back supplies, but how can I bring 50,000 kilograms of horse meat and more than a thousand sets of quilts?"
"And most importantly, how can we bring back the remains of our soldiers who died on the battlefield and so many seriously injured people!"
The lively atmosphere around Wang Ping suddenly turned serious, and then everyone had a heartbroken look on their face.
As battalion and company commanders, the cadres closest to the soldiers, no one knows the casualties of the troops better than them.
Therefore, when they think of those soldiers who died on the battlefield, they feel extremely sad. You must know that many of the soldiers who died were their most sincere friends, comrades, and brothers just a few hours ago!
Nowadays, these people and I can no longer see each other.
What's more, many of the sacrificed recruits were recruited by their parents. Now they have died not long after joining the army. Due to emotional and rational reasons, they don't know how to give an explanation to their parents, how to tell them.
The fact that their son is alive and their husband died on the battlefield!
