My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 137 Rivalry and Post-War Statistics
The Japanese attack has come to an end, and the bloody battle triggered by a reconnaissance team has caused heavy losses to both sides.The three troops on both sides of the Nujiang River licked their wounds, and did not dare to make any other moves for the time being.This brought a short-term calm to the two sides of the strait, which had been bombarded with fire.

The veterinarian and the medical company stayed in the Yushi Field Hospital, because most of the wounded from the Sichuan Army were here, so the medical company stayed to take care of them.After all, the place here is spacious and the environment is relatively clean, which is more helpful for the recovery of the wounded.

Xing Fuquan's second battalion was arranged in Zhongbatan, and the third regiment of the Yu division was basically wiped out, and Yu Xiaoqing was unable to defend the upper reaches.If the troops are divided, the defensive strength of the lower line will be dwarfed by comparison.On this point, it is exactly what he wants to be garrisoned by the Sichuan Army.

But Liao Mingyu didn't help for nothing.Can help you garrison, ammunition must be provided, right?After all, you, Master Yu, are considered wealthy, so you have to pay some money for doing part-time jobs for you, right?

After this battle, the ammunition of the entire Sichuan army was exhausted. Zhao Gongming's supplies have not been delivered yet, and the system has been upgraded in the past two days and cannot be contacted.To be honest, the Sichuan Army Corps has now reached a very critical moment.

Ammunition, ammunition, without bullets a gun is a fire stick.If the Japanese army attacked again, would they have to carry bayonets again?So the next day, Liao Mingyu brought someone over to settle accounts with Yu Xiaoqing.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is not impossible for the Japanese army to attack again. Think about it, Commander Yu, Zhongba Beach has become a key point, like a loophole in the entire defense line of the Nu River."

Liao Mingyu stood in the headquarters of the Yu division, pointing to a map and talking endlessly.As for Yu Xiaoqing standing in front of him, water seemed to be dripping from his dark clouded face.

"It's okay to help you defend, but our army's ammunition consumption is really serious. I don't care about shells, you have to arrange for me 79 rounds of 30 bullets, and 20 grenades. By the way, there are also heavy machine guns. At least [-] of them, our heavy machine guns were blown up a lot in yesterday's battle, and you have to send someone to cover the two wings."

If you want to finish the bullets, you need a machine gun, and if you want to finish the machine gun, you need flank protection, which directly blackened Yu Xiaoqing's face.He finally couldn't help it anymore: "Why didn't Commander Liao go grab it? You go and see how many heavy machine guns I have per division. I don't have that many bullets, and my own troops have to use them."

"Then there's no need to discuss it. Zhongbatan, you can figure it out. I'm not a saint. I want to help you once and want to do it twice." Liao Mingyu directly put down the pick, and recruited the messenger:
"Contact the Second Battalion Commander, immediately exit the Zhongbatan position and return to Jiqi Slope!"

"Oh, Captain Liao, don't be in a hurry, let's discuss things slowly."

The peacemaker Tang Ji hurried forward to comfort him, then turned his head and gave Yu Xiaoqing a look, signaling him to put the overall situation first.

Yu Xiaoqing was holding back his anger. If it weren't for the fact that he had no choice but to rely on the help of the Sichuan Army to garrison, he really didn't want to deal with this thick-skinned guy.Yesterday, I saw him showing national righteousness, but today he behaved like a commoner.

Liao Mingyu didn't think too much about it. Yesterday was called an emergency situation, and he had to deal with it even if his lips were dead and his teeth were cold.After this, it will be a long-term cooperation. If you don't establish the rules first, will you suffer yourself?
"The amount mentioned by Captain Liao is too large, and Yu can't do it. A little... less." Yu Xiaoqing sighed and said helplessly.

"At least 30 rounds of bullets, 800 rifles, 20 light machine guns, 10 heavy machine guns, and hand grenades. Don't forget the batch of medicine in the hospital. Half of your hundreds of wounded will die?"

Liao Mingyu continued to open his mouth like a lion, he was determined that Yu Xiaoqing would not dare to turn his face, anyway, it was all for nothing, not for nothing.

"Captain Liao, this is a bit difficult for us."

……

The two waves of people came and went for a long time, but they still couldn't reach a consensus. Seeing that Yu Xiaoqing's bottom line was almost reached, Liao Mingyu turned his mind to the hospital again.

I heard from Chen Jize that the bearded commander of the third regiment of the Yu division was from the 29th army, and he fought fiercely.Now he is seriously injured and lying on a hospital bed.For this officer, he had some intentions, and he also brought him along while bargaining.

Fan Xiangwu was originally not from his direct lineage, but an officer arranged by Shangfeng. Now that the three regiments have existed in name only, even if they are reorganized in the future, he will not be used again.For the sake of the batch of medicines, Yu Xiaoqing simply packed them to Liao Mingyu together with the only dozens of people left in the third regiment.

In the end, Yu Xiaoqing agreed to give 20 rounds of ammunition and 1 yuan to Dayang as military funds.He didn't give a single gun, so he had to keep it and rebuild the third regiment.Instead, 3000 grenades were given.In addition, Fan Xiangwu, the head of the third regiment, and more than 30 Northwest Army men left in his guard company.The other life and death refused to let go.

Liao Mingyu can accept these supplies, but he doesn't like the guns. Anyway, when Zhao Gongming comes over next time, the remaining two battalions of the Sichuan Army should be replaced. The main reason is the lack of bullets. With these 20 bullets, they can support them. a period of time.

In the end, Liao Mingyu brought the soldiers of the Sichuan Army back to Jiqipo. He had a lot to do.After this battle, there was also a vacancy in the establishment of the Sichuan Army, and many affairs had to be rearranged.

The third battalion of Chen Jize suffered the most casualties.The equipment of the third battalion was the worst. The bayonet fighting and the Japanese artillery bombardment caused a very serious reduction in the number of troops. Only one third of the 1000-odd people withdrew from the battlefield in the end, almost crippling the establishment.The guard battalion and the second battalion also suffered some casualties, and the situation of the first battalion was relatively good.The entire Sichuan Army suffered a total of about 1100 casualties.

In contrast, Division Yu's situation was even more dire. The third regiment was directly wiped out, and the other two main regiments also suffered a lot of losses.More than 2000 people were lost.

Ayi's fourth battalion transferred 400 recruits as a supplement to the third battalion, and then transferred 200 veterans from the first battalion and the second battalion to the third battalion.The remaining 300 recruits from the Fourth Battalion were added to the vacant First and Second Battalions.Such an arrangement can ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops is balanced to the greatest extent.

When the hundreds of wounded in the hospital recover from their injuries and return to the team, the establishment of the three main battalions of the Sichuan Army can also be restored to completeness.But it was hard for Ah Yi, the battalion commander became a polished commander within two days.

In the next few days, the three parties did not make much movement, especially the Japanese army on the west bank, who honestly huddled on the Nantianmen and continued to be their pangolins.

No one won this battle.Nearly 3000 Japanese casualties and more than a dozen field artillery were destroyed, and morale plummeted. The huge loss made Takeuchi Lianshan almost crazy.

Impulse is the devil, and Takeuchi can be regarded as a rational person, he knows that it is more important to keep calm at such times.This time's adventurous attack has already explained everything, the Chinese people on the other side are far stronger than he imagined.

Taking advantage of the calm during this period, he let the troops follow the original plan, and continued to hollow out the mountain of Nantianmen, so that his fortress and the underground traffic road were connected together.

The loss of the artillery positions was a wake-up call to him.Now he hated that small Chinese army, and sent many patrols to cruise around the Nantianmen day and night.They even carried out large-scale raids on several small towns to the west of Nantianmen, and the people living here were persecuted extremely miserable by them.
