"We won... we won... the enemy was repulsed by us!"
The excited shouts of the soldiers soon sounded in the recruit company station.
Everyone looked at Li Hao with expressions full of admiration. In their eyes, although Li Hao was young, he was already omnipotent in the recruit company.
There seems to be no enemy on the battlefield that he cannot defeat, and no problem that he cannot solve.
Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, Li Hao was not happy at all.
Hundreds of people from the garrison came in force and fought for less than three hours before retreating on their own initiative.
On the surface, the new recruits seem to have a winning streak.
Defeating more with less, repelling the enemy's attack, protecting the wounded, and once again creating a miracle.
But Li Hao knew in his heart that the recruit company did not win this battle, and also suffered a heavy loss.
Frowning as he recalled the battle and analyzed whether there was any room for improvement, several squad leaders came over.
Their faces were similar to Li Hao's, both were very solemn, and no one had a smile on their face.
Li Jie's face was particularly heavy. He hesitated for a long time before reporting: "Platoon leader, our casualties have been counted!"
"The first squad sacrificed four people, and one was injured; the second squad sacrificed five, and no one was injured; the third squad sacrificed six, and no one was injured; the squad you were responsible for, platoon leader, sacrificed four people, and two were injured; the machine gun squad sacrificed four
, two were injured, including squad leader Zhong; a total of 7 people were killed by the company commander, and two were seriously injured!"
"In total, 30 people were killed, including two recruit squad leaders, seven were seriously injured, and the bodies of 25 sacrificed soldiers were taken away by the retreating garrison!"
"Killing one thousand enemies will cost you eight hundred!" Li Hao said with a long sigh.
"The strength of our recruit company is not large to begin with, and one sacrifice means one is lost. Although there are only more than thirty people, it has already reached the point where our muscles and bones are broken."
Li Jie responded in agreement: "It's an understatement to say that the muscles and bones are broken. The guard platoon and you, the platoon leader, have 22 people left to continue fighting, and the casualties are more than half!"
"There is still ammunition. If we hadn't captured some ammunition from the enemy's forward platoon, the ammunition reserves we had would have been exhausted long ago."
"Especially in the blocking battle just now, the machine gunner hid behind the shooting holes, and the gunfire never stopped. There was a pile of bullet casings behind each shooting hole!"
"I calculated that each of the several light machine guns used at least 300 rounds of ammunition. Including those used by the rifleman, the total is more than 2,000 rounds!"
"The ammunition on the soldiers has basically been used up!"
If you are not in your position, you will not seek to govern.
He had never thought about this problem before when he was in the cooking squad. Now that he has become a platoon leader, Li Hao has truly realized the cruelty of the battlefield and the importance of ammunition to the Red Army.
After a blocking battle, the troops not only failed to achieve any results, but also lost so many troops and ammunition.
Without perfect logistics, these losses will certainly not be replenished.
This means that the limited troops and ammunition of the troops will become less and less. When encountering a strong enemy again, they are likely to run out of ammunition and food and fall into a desperate situation!
Li Hao's face became increasingly ugly, and it took him a long time to answer: "I initially thought that we repelled the attack of the defense group and won."
"Now it seems that not only did we not win, but we also lost. The real winner is the retreating garrison!"
"They seemed to have suffered heavy casualties and did not kill us. But they retreated on their own initiative, and killed dozens of our soldiers during the battle, consuming a lot of our ammunition. What is even more hateful is that they retreated as soon as they retreated, and even killed our soldiers.
The body was taken away together!"
"You don't need to guess. This garrison wants to take the corpses of those soldiers to claim credit!"
The heavy expression on Li Jie's face became increasingly ugly.
I really don’t want to admit that the new recruits have lost in a row, but the fact is the fact.
He hesitated for a long time before confirming: "I agree with the platoon leader's analysis. We did lose this battle, and the garrison that attacked us is the real winner!"
"The garrison will take the bodies of our fallen soldiers to claim credit, and they will definitely get a lot of rewards. It seems that they suffered heavy casualties, but they have complete logistical supplies and rewards for climbing to the peak. It only takes a few days to make up for the losses.
Get up and regain your strength!"
"But we couldn't do it, so not only did we lose, but we also lost miserably!"
"If we don't encounter a good fighter next, the troops and ammunition lost today may never be replenished!"
"If you encounter a strong enemy again, you will really end up like the platoon leader said, running out of ammunition and food!"
The expressions on the faces of the other monitors became increasingly ugly, their heads lowered, and they remained silent.
This is not the result Li Hao wants to see.
He quickly said: "Cheer up, everyone. Judging from the losses, we lost, but it is a fact that dozens of us defeated hundreds of enemies, and we did not gain nothing in this battle!"
"After this battle, we have a big gain, and the only gain: a group of veterans who have fully integrated into our Red Army!"
"Although there are fewer people in the guard platoon now, the combat effectiveness of the guard platoon is not weaker than yesterday, and the morale is also much higher. Do you admit this or not!"
Cheng Yuan was the first to react: "Is this true?"
"After seeing the enemy retreat, the few soldiers who were still alive were even more excited than me!"
"You can be sure that they really think of themselves as the Red Army!"
"In addition, they are veterans to begin with. As long as they pass this level of thinking, they will become real veterans!"
"This means that the number of veterans in our guard platoon has increased directly from the original five to more than twenty, and the combat effectiveness has decreased instead of increasing!"
"That's very good!" Li Hao affirmed.
"So don't be angry, everyone. What we need to do now is how to integrate the guard platoon so that the guard platoon can use the existing troops to exert the strongest combat effectiveness!"
"As for the shortage of troops and the ammunition fired, as long as our troops have combat effectiveness, we can get them back at any time when we encounter fighters in the future!"
Li Shaohua's eyes lit up and he asked: "Platoon leader, do you already have an idea?"
"I have a preliminary idea!" Li Hao answered directly.
"Squad leader Zhong of the machine gun squad was injured and will not be able to return to the team for at least a month. I have decided to temporarily disband the machine gun squad and strengthen the machine guns to your three infantry squads!"
"I will also give you a few soldiers under my direct command. I guarantee that each squad will have six riflemen and a machine gun team. Including the squad leader, there will be a total of ten people!"
"The squad leader is equipped with two guns, a submachine gun and a rifle!"
"The sub-machine gun shooter is equipped with a rifle. When encountering the enemy, an infantry squad can directly have a light machine gun, a submachine gun, and eight rifles to participate in the battle, forming long, medium, and close crossfires to attack the enemy!"
"The entire platoon has been temporarily reduced to thirty-one people. Excluding the seriously injured, I will go to the company commander to find a way to find the few men who are still missing. I will definitely provide you with enough manpower!"
"But there is also a requirement. After the troops are integrated, each squad must form combat effectiveness as soon as possible!"
