Chapter seven hundred and seventy-fifth of the new group of prodigal
The commander didn't know where Wang Ping got his confidence. He was full of confidence in the ongoing battle just after listening to Zhong Chenggong's arrangements.
Just when he was about to ask, Wang Ping said directly: "Commander, we need to go faster. Otherwise, by the time we get to the battlefield, the Japanese mixed brigade will have been wiped out..."
"So fast! Wang Ping, please don't fool me, there is a whole mixed brigade of little devils!" the commander asked with an expression of disbelief.
Wang Ping answered very confidently: "It will only be fast, not slow. Commander, you will know when you get to the battlefield!"
After finally arriving at the battlefield, a scene appeared that shocked and confused the commander.
The fighting that was still fierce just now has completely stopped, leaving only the intermittent gunfire of the pursuing troops in the night.
The highway was full of soldiers holding torches and fires that had not yet burned out.
"The battle is over now..." Looking at the corpses of the Japanese and the weapon parts blown into scrap metal everywhere under his feet, the commander took a long time to react from the shock.
"Regiment leader, commander, the battle is over. However, more than a squadron of little Japs escaped~" At this moment, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong ran over and reported with excitement on his face.
You know, this was the first time Zhong had independently commanded such a large-scale battle since he successfully served as the chief of staff of the new regiment, and he also won the battle.
Seeing Wang Ping's brows frowning subconsciously, Zhong Chenggong quickly explained.
"They were the vanguard. I originally thought they would desperately rescue the follow-up troops who were under attack at the back. Unexpectedly, they were frightened by the powerful firepower we showed, and they ran away when the opportunity came up!"
"Kin Kai led a company in pursuit and should be able to kill almost a whole squad of Japs!"
The commander finally recovered from the shock and did not speak, but stared at the battlefield.
Soon, he discovered the problem.
"Chief of Staff Zhong, in the battle just now, how many rounds of artillery shells did you fire on the road?"
Zhong Chenggong thought for a while before replying: "More than twenty mortars fired for two minutes, almost three hundred shells!"
The commander opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time, looking very shocked.
After maintaining this expression for nearly ten seconds, he stared at the clock and continued to ask.
"Where are the bullets? How many have been used in total!"
"This..." This time, Zhong Chenggong really didn't understand why the commander asked this question.
He frowned and thought for almost half a minute before answering.
"Not counting the trenches on Kincaid's side, a total of 37 light and heavy machine guns fired continuously for two minutes!"
"Each heavy machine gun should use five bullet plates, and each light machine gun should use three to four bullets from the magazine! The total should be nearly 5,000 rounds of ammunition! In addition, the rifleman's bullets should be used.
Six thousand rounds of bullets are definitely indispensable!"
"Hiss..." Hearing this, the commander took a deep breath.
Then he said to Wang Ping: "Now I finally know why your new group is so confident when facing the Japanese!"
"Two companies can dare to say that they can completely annihilate a mixed group of Japanese soldiers if they confront them. On the one hand, it is because you are well equipped. With the same number of troops, your equipment level has exceeded that of the Japanese soldiers to a certain extent. Another reason is that you
They are so prodigal, bullets and artillery shells are thrown at the Japanese as if they are free of charge. In this kind of fighting, if I have two companies, I would dare to stand up to a mixed group of Japanese soldiers!"
It seems to me just now that there are 400 Japanese corpses in the ambush circle, and more than half of them are technical troops without much combat effectiveness. If you ambush them and put them on other troops, you will never need artillery shells. And you, a
Come up and throw more than 300 cannonballs at them. Even the little devil's body will be blown to pieces by you."
"In a word, you are simply too wasteful!"
"If I'm not wrong, this kind of dismissal must have been thought up by you, Wang Ping!"
Wang Ping quickly replied: "Commander, it is undeniable that this kind of dismissal puts a huge pressure on the logistics reserves of our troops. But it also has benefits!"
"It is precisely because we used so many artillery shells and bullets in just two minutes that more than 400 Japanese were severely injured by us in such a short period of time, lost their ability to fight back, and were then eliminated by us!"
"In two minutes, most of the Japs were killed before they had a chance to shoot. They didn't even have time to destroy their equipment before they died!"
"This means that all the equipment and ammunition brought by the Japanese will be captured by us.
Even if we use twenty or even thirty rounds of bullets to kill a Japs, we still capture a rifle, one hundred and twenty rounds of bullets, and three grenades from them. No matter from every aspect, we have made a profit!
"
Seeing the commander's thoughtful expression, Wang Ping pointed to the troops cleaning the battlefield on the highway and continued to argue.
"There are also ammunition carried by the Japanese transport troops. If we add them in, we will gain even more."
"As for the spent artillery shells, there is a Japanese mortar squadron in the ambush circle. Under normal circumstances, when the Japanese go out to fight, a gun must carry at least a base of fifty rounds. Not counting those carried by the baggage troops, they are on the road.
There are six hundred rounds. Even if many of them are blown up, the remaining shells are enough for us to make up for the losses on the battlefield!"
The commander was stunned for a moment before reacting: "I was convinced by you!"
"Others say that you, Wang Ping, are not only great at fighting, but also very good at business. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. In your eyes, every battle we fight is actually a business. After this
Whether you can make any income from this battle has been calculated in advance!"
"However, only your new regiment can fight this kind of battle. Other troops either don't have as good equipment as you, or they don't have as much ammunition reserves as you do."
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "No, Commander, all troops can fight this way of fighting, but everyone has too many scruples and lacks the courage to fight this kind of battle!"
"If we don't have the strength to defeat a large group of Japanese, we will fight a squadron. If we can't, we will fight a small group of Japanese. Concentrate all the firepower and ammunition of the whole group and kill a small group of Japanese. By then, we will have ammunition, weapons, everything!"
"After accumulating a sufficient amount of equipment and ammunition, and then fighting a larger-scale annihilation war, our troops will definitely become stronger and stronger. Of course, all of this requires opportunities for us, the Eighth Route Army. After all, the Japanese are against
We have absolute superiority in troops and firepower!"
"Not bad!" A smile finally appeared on the commander's face.
Just now, a very bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
When we return to the military region, we will promote the new regiment's style of play throughout the military region, and then use this raid to test it out. Maybe a new regiment will appear in the Taiyue Military Region by then!
