Eight hundred and fortieth eight chapters created a miracle
Seeing that many people nodded in approval, Yan Song explained directly.
"I don't know about other troops, but I know the situation of the Third Battalion better than anyone else. Before the battle started, there were only ten veterans in the Third Battalion who had experienced the Long March, including me and the instructor!"
"The others are either new recruits or converted prisoners of the puppet army. They have real murderous intent. They have seen blood on the battlefield and killed people. There are only less than thirty veterans who have crawled out from the dead!"
"If it weren't for our well-equipped equipment and sufficient ammunition, the combat effectiveness of a battalion would not be as good as the combat effectiveness of a company after the end of our Long March."
"But it's different after this bloody battle. When the seriously wounded recovered and returned to the army, the number of veterans in the entire battalion directly exceeded 200. You know, these veterans have crawled among the dead. Standing
The murderous aura on his body just started to leak out!"
"With the backbone of these two hundred veterans, after returning to the station, whether they are given new recruits or captured soldiers, they can quickly form combat effectiveness, and the combat effectiveness is no worse than the original troops!"
Hearing this, the anger in the commander's stomach had dissipated a lot.
Yan Song said not only the facts faced by the New Regiment, but also the real situation faced by the entire Eighth Route Army.
A few years ago, the Eighth Route Army went to the battlefield with only 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, almost all of whom were veterans of the Long March.
Although the equipment is very poor and the ammunition is very little. However, in that case, if a main force company holds on to the Japanese and an infantry squadron, although it cannot win, it will never collapse on the battlefield or be defeated.
Nowadays, no matter which unit, even if it is well-equipped, a company cannot withstand a Japanese infantry squadron.
It's not that the Japs' combat effectiveness has become worse, but that the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness has become weaker, and very weak.
At this moment, Wang Ping spoke: "Everyone is right. Before I decided to fight this positional battle, I had the idea of training troops to train a group of real veterans for our new regiment. Even if there are a thousand people in the end, there will be only
I don’t care if three or four hundred people survive!”
"Now it seems that the combat effect is obviously better than we imagined!"
"The total number of veterans in your three battalions is 600. With these veterans as the foundation, as long as we complete your establishment, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely recover quickly and become stronger and stronger."
"If nothing else happens, I will get qualified supplementary soldiers for you tonight!"
The heartache and dejected expressions on the faces of several people were immediately wiped away. They stared at Wang Ping and asked: "Captain... there is still a battle to be fought tonight!"
"Our Eighth Route Army rules the night. We have been beaten by the Japanese all this afternoon, and we don't even have a chance to breathe. Tonight, let the little Japanese taste what it feels like to be beaten!" Xiao Yunshan's eyes were shining brightly, and he was eager to ask.
road.
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "We will talk about the war later. Now let the chief of staff tell everyone another piece of good news to make everyone happy and at the same time give everyone more confidence to fight back tonight!"
Zhong Chenggong stood up with a hint of nervousness on his face. He knew very well that this was an opportunity given to him by the group leader.
As Wang Ping finished speaking, Commander Chen and the deputy chief of staff, who were sitting at the entrance of the command department, stared at him at the same time.
As a grassroots cadre who was directly promoted from deputy battalion commander to regimental chief of staff, Commander Chen Chenggong met Zhong Chenggong several times, but never spoke. As for the deputy chief of staff, he only met him once from a distance and had no direct contact with him at all.
Now that the two leaders are staring at him to speak, it may not be an opportunity for him.
If you perform well, both the commander and the deputy chief of staff will remember you, which will definitely be very beneficial to your future military career.
After taking a deep breath, Zhong successfully spoke.
"Comrades, we lost a lot of money in an afternoon of fighting starting at noon. However, the results were also great. You are all commanding the battle on the front line, so you should be very clear! Before the meeting, the regiment leader asked me to make statistics. Now I will give you
Please inform everyone."
"In the forward position, we killed one Japanese infantry squadron and one infantry squad, and there was also a company of prisoners!"
"Everyone must remember that I said kill, not injury. If you include those who lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries, you will also need to add a small team of Japs."
"All added up, the Japs suffered more than 250 casualties, and the puppet army suffered more than 100 casualties in one company."
"Because the Japanese underestimated the enemy, this battle was the one with the largest casualty ratio between the enemy and ourselves, and it was also the best blocking battle we fought!"
"The first line of defense of the fortification group, the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops were no less than 200, and the puppet troops had a little more than one company, more than 100 people!"
"The second line of defense of the fortification group, the Japanese casualties are no less than 150, and one company of puppet troops!"
"On the third line of defense of the fortification group, the Japanese casualties were also no less than 150 people, and the puppet army was also a company!"
"Total all together, the Japanese suffered more than 750 casualties, and an entire infantry brigade was lost! The puppet army also lost four or five infantry companies, and half a regiment's strength!"
"In terms of casualty ratio, we lost one soldier and killed two Japanese and puppet troops, and this was on a head-on battlefield with the Japs. It can definitely be called a miracle!"
At this time, the anger on Commander Chen's face was completely gone, and he stared at Zhong Chenggong, looking forward to Zhong Chenggong's next step!
After pausing for a few seconds to let everyone digest the results, Zhong Chenggong continued to introduce.
"Because it was dark, the Japanese army had stopped attacking. According to the latest intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance platoon and the direct team, in order to prevent us from counterattacking at night, the Japanese deployed an infantry brigade and a puppet army regiment on the three lines of defense we captured.
, all other main forces are stationed on the high ground one kilometer in front of the fortification group!"
"Battle Commander Xiao was right just now, the night belongs to our Eighth Route Army. Therefore, we decided to seize the opportunity and kill the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the defense line!"
"The specific operations are carried out by the guard company and the recruit battalion. As for your three battalions, all you need to do is follow the recruit battalion to capture prisoners, clean the battlefield, and replenish the troops!"
A very bold idea popped into the commander's mind.
"Wang Ping is too courageous!"
"With a new barracks and a guard company, how dare you say that you can kill an infantry brigade and a company of puppet troops... are all the Japanese made out of mud?)"
Just when he was about to stand up and express his thoughts, the deputy chief of staff next to him stopped him.
"Don't talk, we just listen. We must believe Wang Ping..."
As Wang Ping's trump card, apart from the political commissar and chief of staff, only the new battalion commander Jin Kai of the New Regiment knew his role.
Therefore, Rongjun, who suffered the least loss and was also Jin Kai's old superior, was the first to stand up.
"Captain, Jin Kai's new battalion has just been established in less than two months. Let them join. Will the strength be weaker? I will send out another company from the fourth battalion!"
"Not weak..." Wang Ping stood up and said.
"The new camp is not a real new camp. The staffing and equipment are the same as your four main battalions. The only thing missing now is actual combat experience. So, tonight, they will be the main attack!"
