Colonel Nakatani died. His chest was hit by three heavy machine gun bullets, and three bloody flowers burst out. His eyes were wide open. He fell on his back and looked at the sky, refusing to close his eyes.
After more than a thousand days of puppet troops, less than a hundred people finally broke through successfully, and all the others were eliminated or captured.
At the Japanese division headquarters in Laiyuan City, the division commander stood in front of the map, and the chief of staff stood beside him, introducing him to the battle plan just formulated by the staff: attack Datong City!
"Very good!" The division commander was very satisfied with this plan.
Staring at the map, he began to issue orders: "According to this battle plan, the Lichuan Regiment will attack Datong City after dawn."
The chief of staff immediately stood at attention and replied with a serious face: "Sir, don't worry, the final victory in this attack on Datong will definitely belong to our division."
They fought in the first half of the night and cleaned the battlefield in the second half of the night. It was not until dawn that the Niutouling battlefield became completely quiet.
"Captain, here are the battle reports and battle losses that have just been calculated..." Hong Linfeng found Li Hao and reported. Although he was very tired, his eyes were bright and bright, and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable energy.
Excited.
Li Hao was very tired, but he still cheered up and answered: "Let's talk about the losses first. Only by knowing myself and the enemy can I formulate the next battle plan and continue to fight the Japanese."
"Yes, leader!" Hong Linfeng replied quickly.
"After statistics, there are 1,186 people left in the second battalion, third battalion, independent battalion, mobile battalion, and special agent battalion who can continue to fight. Almost each main battalion has one reinforced company left."
"For two consecutive days of fighting, we lost a total of 798 people, and 218 people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness."
"More than half of the weapons such as light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and heavy mortars were lost."
"Ammunition is also almost exhausted, especially the heavy mortar shells. Each gun has ten rounds left. There are not many ordinary mortar shells left, and each gun can only average an average of twenty shells."
Li Hao's brows wrinkled at that moment.
To put it bluntly, after this battle, the garrison was directly disabled, and its weapons and ammunition were also exhausted.
If you continue to fight head-on with the little devil, you will definitely be killed in the end.
Thinking of this, Li Hao quickly asked: "Where is the harvest?"
I hope that the harvest on the battlefield can make up for some losses, especially the loss of weapons and ammunition. At least the troops will have ammunition to use when they encounter the Japs again, instead of fighting the enemy with a rifle without bullets.
"Except for more than a hundred people in the entire Nakatani Regiment who managed to escape with their lives, we killed all the others. The commander of the Regiment, Colonel Nakatani, was killed by a heavy machine gun."
"As for the seizure, because the battle lasted too long and was divided into several battles, fighting continuously, many weapons and ammunition were destroyed by the little devil before he died."
"The weapons and ammunition that ended up in our hands were very few."
"Excluding those seized the day before yesterday, during the day and night yesterday, we seized a total of 836 rifles, 28 light machine guns, 13 heavy machine guns, and 6 mortars. All other weapons were artificially destroyed, with almost no possibility of repair."
"There is less ammunition. Except for the ammunition left on the bodies of the dead Japs, boxes and boxes of reserve ammunition have been destroyed."
Li Hao's frown deepened.
Compared with before, today's little devils are obviously more cautious, especially when it comes to weapons and ammunition.
In previous battles, the Japanese regarded their weapons as treasures.
Even if he died, he would not bear to destroy it, thinking that his comrades would definitely be able to bring the weapons they used back to the army and arm other imperial soldiers.
As the Eighth Route Army used the Japanese weapons captured on the battlefield to develop and grow stronger, the Japanese army gradually realized the crisis and changed their past combat style. Before the entire army was destroyed, they must destroy the excess weapons and ammunition and not give the Eighth Route Army the chance to support the war.
"If the enemy cannot rely on us, we must rely on ourselves." Li Hao forced himself to calm down and looked at Hong Linfeng who answered firmly.
"Immediately classify the seized weapons and ammunition, and send those that can be repaired to the arsenal immediately, and let them work overtime to repair them."
"All kinds of bullet casings seized on the battlefield were also sent to the arsenal."
"Concentrate all manpower and material resources to produce reloaded bullets, artillery shells, and grenades."
"I will find a solution for the heavy mortar shells that the arsenal cannot produce yet."
"In addition, order the troops to seize the time to rest. Zhonggu Alliance has solved it, but Lichuan Alliance has not yet. We must be ready for Lichuan Alliance and us to fight hard."
At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Hao was suddenly woken up by Hong Linfeng while he was still sleeping.
"Captain, has the situation changed?" Hong Linfeng reported with a puzzled look.
"Deputy Commander Luo sent an urgent message. The Lichuan regiment outside the mountains began to take action as soon as dawn broke. However, they did not pursue them. Instead, they marched towards Hunyuan County where the 1st Battalion was located to kill them!"
"Hunyuan?" Li Hao quickly found the county seat on the map.
His brows also wrinkled: "If I remember correctly, the First Battalion voluntarily abandoned Hunyuan City six days ago."
"Then he lurked near Hunyuan and stared at the Japanese and puppet troops occupying Hunyuan City. If the Japanese troops didn't move, they wouldn't move either."
"The situation there has been calm for the past few days. What is the Lichuan Regiment doing now? Do they plan to concentrate the forces of the two regiments to deal with the First Battalion?"
"Impossible!" Li Hao rejected the idea himself.
Then he analyzed: "The First Battalion has not really fought against the little Japs in Hunyuan City, so the strength of the First Battalion has not been exposed. The Lichuan United Force will not put any pressure on the First Battalion by killing them now."
"Moreover, the first battalion of the fake regiment headquarters led by Deputy Commander Biro is not that valuable. It is not worth it for the little devil to send out two regiments at once to deal with them."
Hong Linfeng's brows were also knitted into a big Chinese character, and he immediately asked: "What is the purpose of that little devil?"
"Except for the First Battalion, there aren't any valuable targets at Hunyuan?"
Li Hao stared at the map without saying a word. After a minute, he suddenly said: "No, there is still a target."
Seeing Li Hao pointing to a point on the map, Hong Linfeng's eyes immediately widened. It took him a long time to react.
"The city of Fatong occupied by the Jinsui Army?"
"Captain, what you mean is that the little devils should change the target of attack, fight to the area occupied by the Jinsui Army, and then attack Fatong City again."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!" Li Hao affirmed.
"If I were a little devil commander, I would do the same thing."
"If you can't take advantage of us, the best way is to change the target of attack."
"Looking around us, only Datong City has such value that the Japanese can use it to negotiate."
"The two main regiments, plus the local garrison, the Imperial Army, and the artillery, have a total strength of more than 10,000 people. It can definitely be called a heavy military group."
"Now everyone's attention is focused on us. They want to see our garrison severely damaged by the Japanese army. If the Japanese attack us now, they will definitely be able to catch the Jinsui Army by surprise and capture Datong City."
"If the Japanese really plan to do this, our garrison will be saved."
Li Hao became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had seen the garrison taking the opportunity to regain its strength and then fight back against the Japs.
