The mountain road leading from Dongtian Village to Hongquan Village.
Li Hao, like an ordinary soldier, carries a box of ammunition on his back.
Guard company commander Xiao Yuan followed beside him, carrying a crooked handle on his shoulder and three rifles on his back. He panted and reported as he hurried on.
"Batalion Commander, the casualties and results have been tallied!"
"In the battle just now, we killed a Japanese mortar squadron, a mountain artillery squadron, an infantry artillery squad, an understaffed baggage train, and a heavy machine gun squad, a total of more than 340 people!"
"Outside Dongtian Village, the artillery company, firepower company, and independent company cooperated to kill a total of 124 little Japs!"
"The only regret is that there were less seizures. Half of the equipment and ammunition carried by the Japanese transport team were destroyed, and a lot of the artillery equipment of the artillery was also destroyed!"
Li Hao raised his eyebrows and interrupted: "Don't come up with these empty words, I want specific figures!"
"The specific data has been calculated!" Xiao Yuan quickly replied.
"Both two infantry guns were destroyed, three mountain guns were left, eight mortars were left, and not a single heavy machine gun was left!"
"In addition, there are 189 38-inch guns, seven crooked handles, and the rest are all ammunition!"
"There are a total of ninety-six boxes of 65-caliber bullets. Including those seized from the Japanese infantry, there are nearly two hundred thousand rounds!"
"There are twenty-eight boxes of heavy machine gun bullets left, 16 boxes of grenades left, 68 boxes of mortar shells left, 48 boxes of mountain artillery shells left, and 16 boxes of infantry artillery shells!"
"If it weren't for the extensive use of grenades and grenade launchers during our attack, which destroyed a lot of ammunition, and the little devil himself also blew up a lot of ammunition, the amount of ammunition we captured would have been at least doubled!"
"That's enough!" Li Hao comforted.
"If I remember correctly, these ammunition can not only replenish our combat consumption in the past few days, but there is also a lot of surplus!"
"Yuan Qingfeng, your artillery battery should have used less than 400 rounds of artillery shells in the past two days!"
"Among the ammunition seized, there are 68 boxes and 680 rounds of mortar shells alone. Not only does it replenish losses, but we can also make a lot of money!"
Yuan Qingfeng quickly replied: "A total of 258 mortar shells and 90 mountain artillery shells were used. I have records!"
"We captured 680 mortar shells, 240 mountain artillery shells, and 80 infantry artillery shells. After all losses were replenished, there were still 422 mortar shells and 150 mountain artillery shells left.
Ten rounds, eighty rounds of infantry artillery shells, definitely a huge profit!"
"That's fine!" Li Hao replied with satisfaction.
"Don't forget, in addition to ammunition, we also seized a large amount of equipment, especially heavy weapons!"
"With them, the strength of our independent battalion will definitely rise sharply. In the future, we will have room to fight back even against a full infantry brigade of the Japanese army!"
"Call Zhou Liang from the communications platoon over immediately. I want to send a telegram to the military division to report the victory!"
The military division headquarters is still as busy as ever, but compared to the day before, the atmosphere is obviously much more relaxed.
Everyone, including the commander, had a smile on their face.
"Commander, the results of the ambush battle have been calculated!" the chief of staff rushed over and reported excitedly.
The commander asked with a hint of expectation: "How many little devils have been killed in total!"
"1,284 Japanese were killed in the ambush battle. There is no specific data on the blocking battle, but it must have been more than 200 people!" the chief of staff replied quickly.
"The one with the highest military rank was a Japanese lieutenant colonel. There was also a major, eight captains, and a whole group of young Japanese who strengthened the brigade. We killed them all!"
The smile on the commander's face grew wider, and he asked the question he was most concerned about.
"What about the seizure?"
"For this ambush battle, the military division's financial resources have been emptied again and are in urgent need of replenishment!"
The chief of staff said nothing and directly handed over the list in his hand.
After taking the list and just glancing at the data on it, the commander was shocked.
He shouted with excitement: "So many? How is it possible!"
"This result is beyond my expectation!" the chief of staff explained.
"According to usual practice, in such a large-scale ambush, if we can seize 400 rifles, it will be great!"
"The devils are becoming more and more cunning. After knowing that almost all of our equipment and ammunition supplies are captured, they will destroy the excess weapons and ammunition in advance every time they fight with us. In the end, there will be very few weapons and ammunition left that can be captured by us!
"
"But this ambush battle was different. The ambush troops had sufficient ammunition and better equipment than ever before. In just the first salvo of fire, they killed nearly one-third of the Japs. Then they continued to use their firepower advantage to kill the Japs.
Suppress them on the road, suppress them and fight without giving them a chance to destroy their weapons and ammunition!"
"That's why more than 800 rifles were seized in one battle, and they were all of the same type!"
"Except for the light and heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery, and infantry artillery that were blown up by grenades on the battlefield, we have captured them all, and the Japanese have not destroyed them either!"
"There is also ammunition. Because the entire ambush lasted only a short time, only more than an hour passed from the time the gun was fired to the end. Many Japanese were killed before they had a chance to shoot. Therefore, the ammunition we seized in this battle is also special.
There are nearly 100,000 rounds of ammunition seized from the Japanese alone, not counting the reserve ammunition they carry!"
"Here I would like to specifically commend the military division security company!"
The commander showed an interested expression and asked, "What happened to the guard company?"
"Their results shocked me!" the chief of staff replied with a hint of shock.
"It only took a company less than ten minutes to kill a reinforced infantry squad of the Japanese forwards, and then continued their efforts to attack the main Japanese troops from the road and killed another infantry squad!"
"With just over 100 people, Lien Zhan and Lien Jie killed more than 130 Japs in less than an hour and a half, and also seized more than half of the equipment and ammunition from the Japs. He suffered less than one platoon of casualties. Commander, what do you say?
Should I be praised?"
"How did they do it!" The commander was also frightened.
"If I remember correctly, the guard company was just expanded by us. Two-thirds of it are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Apart from being well-equipped, it has no other advantages!"
The chief of staff affirmed: "I was shocked just like you at first. After I figured it out, I realized that our security company commander became so powerful after learning the methods of fighting Japanese soldiers from the independent battalion."
"It is an indisputable fact that the guard company has many recruits and poor combat effectiveness. But they are well equipped and can use their equipment to make up for this disadvantage!"
"Concentrate your firepower to kill the Japs' machine gunners and grenade launchers who pose the greatest threat to us first. Then the Japs will turn into tigers without fangs, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Then focus your firepower to attack their infantry and end the battle quickly!"
"This is the tactic that Company Commander Huang learned from them in just one night when I went to the Independent Battalion with me last time."
The commander looked suddenly enlightened and shouted: "I understand, this is called using one's own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses..."
"It seems that the independent battalion can develop and grow in such a short period of time. In addition to the excellent commander Li Hao, their tactics also play a big role! I still underestimate him. I must call him if I have the opportunity.
It’s a good idea to get to know the headquarters!”
"Chief of Staff, notify the guard company commander and two battalion captains to submit a summary report on the ambush as soon as possible. I want the entire army to promote this tactic!"
“In addition, among the equipment and ammunition seized in the ambush battle, all mountain artillery and mountain artillery shells, plus 100,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 20,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, and 200 rounds of mortars were sent to the military division to form a mountain artillery company directly under the military division.
!”
"Other equipment and ammunition directly supplement the two brigades!"
"Tell the two captains to make good use of this batch of equipment and ammunition. Within a month I will see the two brigades expanded to 1,800 people!"
