Chapter 1538 The result of killing yourself in seconds
On another battlefield dozens of kilometers away, preparations for a battle were underway.
The reconnaissance team kept gathering information about the enemy into Yuan Hu's hands. Not long after, a bold and direct idea appeared in his mind.
"Company Commander Wang, I will give you a platoon of troops, bring all the mines, and rush to our position twelve kilometers south immediately."
"Reconnaissance team report: The only way from the county town to the stronghold is through a five-kilometer-long mountainous area. If the Japanese and puppet troops in the county town send troops to reinforce the stronghold, you must use the terrain to hold them back for at least three hours. Give us
Attack the stronghold to buy time."
"I will personally command the other troops to storm the stronghold."
The battle was very fierce, and the sound of gunfire lasted for four hours before it stopped.
At the end of the battle, the central turret of the stronghold had been blown into a pile of rubble, with corpses everywhere inside.
There are Japs, puppet soldiers, and the Eighth Route Army.
"Report to Deputy Battalion Commander Yuan that we have killed all the little Japs in the stronghold. A total of 86 corpses were found. 59 puppet soldiers were killed and 53 were captured." The deputy company commander reported excitedly.
Yuan Hu was not worried at all about whether he could capture the stronghold.
The troops need mortars and mortars, and heavy machine guns and heavy machine guns. They even have more light machine guns than the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold. If you can't even take down a stronghold, then you, the deputy battalion commander, are in vain.
, so after listening to the report, his face did not show any excitement.
Instead, he looked at the deputy company commander and asked nervously: "Are there many casualties among the troops?"
"Twenty-nine people were killed and 18 seriously injured. Some were caused by the assault on the Japanese gun towers, and some were caused by bayonets between the two sides after the troops entered the stronghold." replied the deputy company commander.
Yuan Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay..."
"This time Li Zhiyong and I ran a long distance to attack the Japanese stronghold. In addition to competing for speed, we also competed for losses and results."
"We used the loss of a strengthened platoon to capture the stronghold and kill a strengthened squad of Japs. The loss should be considered very small."
"Order the troops to seize the time to clean the battlefield and retreat in ten minutes."
"Immediately send someone to notify Company Commander Wang, and the reinforcement troops will cover the retreat in turn. We will return to the base area."
After confirming at the garrison headquarters that Li Zhiyong had not returned, Yuan Hu, who had just led the team back, immediately smiled, showing a proud smile that seemed to guarantee victory.
But this good mood only lasted less than three hours.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Li is back, bringing back many prisoners and trophies..." A guard rushed into the regiment headquarters to report.
"Let's go over and take a look!" Li Hao was the first to stand up from his seat.
Although Li Zhiyong has not been seen yet, the intelligence team that Li Zhiyong won the battle received yesterday.
Li Hao and Wang Hong knew in their hearts that the winner of this competition was Li Zhiyong.
I just saw Yuan Hu so excited and I didn’t feel embarrassed to attack him.
Prepare to let him see with his own eyes the results of the battle brought back by Li Zhiyong and admit defeat, so that the lesson will be more profound.
Yuan Hu followed closely behind, still with a smile on his face.
In his eyes, the entire attack took him less time than Li Zhiyong, and he had already won a round.
The losses of the troops are within the range that I can bear. If nothing else happens, I should win this round.
There are three aspects of competition in total. As long as you win two of them, you will win the competition.
"How can this be?"
As soon as he reached the entrance of the village, Yuan Hu was startled by what he saw in front of him.
The team Li Zhiyong brought back was too long.
When I came back, the attacking troops, including the wounded and prisoners, totaled less than 200 people, and the length of the team was less than 200 meters.
The queue in front of me was at least 300 meters long. More importantly, I didn't see a stretcher in the middle of the queue, but there were nearly ten more carts.
"Why do they have so many prisoners?" Yuan Hu became more and more shocked as he watched. When the team was about to reach the entrance of the village, he said to himself with doubts on his face.
"Intelligence shows that our opponents only have more than 200 people, and the puppet army is over 100 people. Even if all of them are captured, it is impossible to have so many people."
"Look at the team brought back by Deputy Battalion Commander Li. There are at least two hundred prisoners in it. Where did he capture them?"
Li Hao smiled and replied: "We will know in a moment."
Li Zhiyong stood in front of everyone five minutes later. Although he was very tired, it could be seen that he was very excited at this moment.
"Report to the leader and political commissar that Li Zhiyong has been ordered to complete the attack mission and request to return to the team."
"Very good!" Li Hao asked very satisfied.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Yuan just asked you to explain a question. The total number of puppet troops in the stronghold is only over 100, and the prisoners you brought back are at least 200. What happened to the extra prisoners?"
"They were all captured during our attack on the stronghold!" Li Zhiyong quickly reported.
"This is impossible!" Yuan Hu immediately retorted.
"There are only more than a hundred puppet troops in the stronghold. Even if you capture all of them, it is impossible for more than two hundred people to emerge."
From this sentence, it was obvious that Yuan Hu was anxious, and the smile on his face disappeared.
If these two hundred prisoners were captured by Li Zhiyong when he attacked the stronghold, Li Zhiyong must have achieved more results than himself.
In this way, in the comparison of three aspects, each side will win one game. If the opponent's casualties are smaller than yours, you will win two out of three games, and you will lose.
Li Zhiyong quickly explained: "Deputy Battalion Commander Yuan, there are indeed only more than a hundred puppet troops in the stronghold, but two companies of Japanese reinforcements came, and I killed them as well. In total, 286 puppet troops were captured."
"
Yuan Hu was shocked.
He heard that Li Zhiyong not only captured the stronghold, but also killed the reinforcements sent by the county.
This is absolutely impossible.
When attacking the stronghold, I also thought about this approach.
However, there were too many reinforcements. The Japanese had a squadron alone, plus nearly 400 puppet troops. Our own troops were too small, and we simply did not have such a big appetite.
He quickly asked: "How many little devils have you killed?"
"More than two hundred and forty!" Li Zhiyong replied.
Yuan Hu instantly turned into a defeated rooster, lowering his head.
Not to mention how many good things Li Zhiyong brought back with him, the number of prisoners and enemies annihilated alone was enough to kill him instantly.
Therefore, in the competition of results, I lost and there was no room for relaxation.
But Yuan Hu hasn't given up completely yet.
Li Zhiyong destroyed so many Japanese and puppet troops, the casualties of his troops must have been greater than his own.
If you win the casualty contest, you will still be the winner of this contest.
Quickly asked: "Destroying so many Japanese and puppet troops will definitely cause heavy casualties to the troops... Deputy Battalion Commander Li, how many people did your troops lose in total?"
Li Zhiyong blurted out: "21 people were sacrificed, 3 were seriously injured, and 28 were slightly injured, but it did not affect the battle."
"Hiss, hiss..." Yuan Hu was shocked again and took a breath of cold air.
