At the military division headquarters, the commander stayed awake all night at the headquarters, glancing at the telecommunications room next to him from time to time.
Disappointingly, no news came from the telecommunications room until dawn!
"Commander, will something happen to the Independent Battalion?" Looking at the bright sky outside, the chief of staff frowned and couldn't help but remind him.
A flash of hesitation flashed across the commander's face, but he soon regained his determination.
He shook his head and replied: "I believe in the Independence Battalion and Comrade Li Hao!"
"The telegram sent to us by the Independence Battalion yesterday made it very clear that he was absolutely 70% sure of the battle last night, so we can rest assured!"
"No rush, let's wait a little longer!"
"After two hours, if they haven't sent a telegram yet, we will take the initiative to send a telegram!"
After finally getting through an hour, the chief of staff couldn't bear it anymore.
I walked back and forth in the headquarters with my hands behind my back to vent my inner tension and anxiety.
"Chief, telegram!"
The voice of the communications staff finally sounded in the nearby telecommunications room, and it was the first time the commander heard his voice so pleasant and enjoyable.
Holding a telegram in his hand, he rushed out of the telecommunications room and rushed towards the commander. As he rushed, he shouted: "Great victory... Commander, great victory for the Independent Battalion!"
"This is a good news jointly sent by Comrade Li Hao, commander of the independent battalion, and battalion commander Peng of the reinforcements: The telegram said that after a night of hard fighting, every single one of the Japanese and puppet troops that entered the base area was wiped out!"
"We have won the Lingqiu Japanese puppet army's raid on the independent battalion. The troops are counting the results and losses, but one thing can be confirmed. The commander of the Lingqiu County Japs, Major Watanabe, was also killed by them!"
"The entire Japanese and puppet army has been wiped out, and that old man Watanabe is also dead. How is that possible?" The chief of staff was stunned by the news and did not react for a long time!
The commander should calm down. After quickly scanning the telegram handed over by the communications staff, the tension and anxiety in his heart completely relaxed.
He shouted excitedly: "It's true. The telegram was sent jointly by Li Hao and Peng Yunfeng. It can't be false!"
"Chief of Staff, please call back to the Independent Battalion immediately and ask them to report the specific results and losses, as well as the entire battle process. I want to report it to the military region and the Eighth Route Army headquarters!"
"Although the scale of this anti-mopping up battle is not large, it has touched the hearts of all the heads of the military region and headquarters. The sooner this good news is reported, the sooner they will feel at ease!"
In Litian Village, Lingqiu, the two Japanese planes that dropped all the bombs had been gone for nearly half an hour.
Nearly two thousand people from the Independent Battalion, the First Battalion, and the local guerrillas all rushed into the village to put out the fire and rescue weapons and ammunition that had not been blown up.
As time passed, various weapons and ammunition began to be dug out of the ruins and sent to the woods outside the village!
"Battal Commander, one of the four mountain cannons was damaged and the remaining three are intact!" Yuan Qingfeng, the commander of the mountain cannon company, shouted excitedly as he rushed out of the village.
After the troops were able to enter the village, Yuan Qingfeng didn't care about anything. He led dozens of gunners and went straight to the Japanese and puppet army's mountain artillery position, and forcibly tore out several mountain cannons from the ruins with his hands.
Hearing that there were three mountain cannons available, Li Hao also had a smile on his face!
Last night was the first time the mountain artillery company participated in the battle. The powerful power of the mountain artillery had already left a deep impression on Li Hao!
A shell destroys an armored vehicle that is usually indestructible...
A single shell destroyed earthen walls and masonry courtyard walls that mortars and light and heavy machine guns were unable to deal with at ordinary times...
These battlefield scenes were all brought to me by the six mountain cannons.
Without the mountain artillery battery, the fighting troops last night would never have won so quickly and with so few casualties!
Nowadays, Li Hao has become more and more fond of this kind of artillery that can not only attack fortresses, but also cover the enemy with artillery fire, has a long range, is powerful, and is easy to transfer. He can't wait to install two of them in every company.
Immediately replied: "Those blown up mountain cannons can't be wasted, take them all back, and don't lose a single part!"
"When you get back, organize the gunners for me to dismantle the ruined mountain cannons, thoroughly understand them, and see if they can assemble a new one using the ruined mountain cannon parts. If not, keep those parts as spare, just in case.
!”
"The mountain cannons equipped by the little devils are standardized and have uniform specifications. Every part can be used in common. Just dismantle them all and then reassemble them. Do you understand?"
Yuan Qingfeng reacted immediately, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "I understand, let's arrange for everyone to ship all the parts back now!"
"There are two mountain cannons inside with only a few parts destroyed. Maybe one of them can be repaired!"
As soon as Yuan Qingfeng left, Hong Linfeng rushed over, his face full of heartache!
"Battal Commander, the battlefield has almost been cleaned up. The situation is very bad!"
"Although there are only more than a thousand Japanese puppet troops in the village, the equipment that we used to kill hundreds of Japanese puppet troops in the past few days with guerrilla warfare is also there. There are at least 1,500 light rifles. The amount of equipment is far more than what we had at the beginning.
Judge more!”
"But this battle was too fierce. When we attacked, we used mountain artillery and mortars. Just now the two planes came over and bombed again. Many weapons were destroyed. In addition, the weapons we brought out before retreating
, the total number of rifles that are intact and ready for use is only 700, and at least 800 were damaged by the explosion!"
"Only 15 light machine guns were found intact, 3 heavy machine guns were found, and 3 mortars were found. The rest were all destroyed."
"Preliminary estimates indicate that the number of destroyed light machine guns will be no less than 20, heavy machine guns no less than 5, and mortars no less than 5!"
"The only thing that makes us happy is that before the Japanese planes came to bomb, we found several temporary ammunition depots scattered by the Japanese and puppet troops in the village. The soldiers used the last ten minutes before retreating to carry out all the ammunition that could easily be detonated.
, so very few of the ammunition were destroyed, and almost all of them were captured by us!”
"There are a total of 89 boxes of mountain artillery shells, almost 450 rounds!"
"38 boxes of mortar shells, 380 rounds. Other light and heavy machine gun bullets, grenades, and special grenades for grenades, a total of 126 boxes. Including those seized from the Japanese and puppet troops, the total must exceed 25
Wanfa."
A trace of heartache flashed across Li Hao's face involuntarily, but he soon regained his composure, and then ordered: "I just gave Yuan Qingfeng an order: Even if the weapon is destroyed, all weapons must be brought back, not even a single part.
fall."
"Those bombed weapons are not scrap metal. As long as we find a way, we can definitely turn waste into treasure and turn those damaged weapons into new guns."
"So the order I gave you is the same. All the bombed weapons, even a single part, must be found and brought back!"
"I plan to use these damaged weapons to set up a weapons repair shop specifically responsible for repairing them."
"With so many damaged weapons, if only half of them can be repaired, we will make a lot of money!"
"There are still bullet casings. More than a thousand Japanese puppet troops resisted us for a whole night. I estimate that they used at least 100,000 rounds of bullets last night!"
"With so many bullet casings, even if they were all melted into copper, they would weigh several thousand kilograms. If we have the technology to reload bullets in the future, there will be more than 100,000 rounds of bullets. We must not let them be buried in the ground and rust!"
"Order the troops to search all over the village and find all the bullet casings. We will also take them away, including the bullet casings produced by our own shooting!"
"In addition, after the battle is over, we have to set a rule in the base area and mobilize all the people to find bullet casings for us. As long as you find five kilograms of bullet casings, you can ask the troops to exchange them for one kilogram of flour. We have to hoard all the bullet casings in the base area.
Get up, don’t run out of raw materials when you have the ability to reload bullets!”
Li Hao thought very far, and there were many things that Hong Linfeng didn't understand.
But he knew that Li Hao would never make a mistake, so he immediately replied: "Don't worry, battalion commander, I will make arrangements now to ensure that not a single bullet casing is dropped and all are picked up!"
