My Bright Sword Logistics Career

Chapter 67 Post-War Summary
"Long live the Great Japanese Empire, long live His Majesty the Locust..."

Taiyuan.

After the news that Inoshita Katsutake was burned so badly that his body was not found, Tono Osamu simply found a place, drew out his samurai sword, and prepared to commit seppuku under the witness of his subordinates.

Although this matter has nothing to do with him at all, but he was the person in charge of security when the military column on which a senior officer was riding was attacked twice in a row. Someone has to take responsibility.

Rather than being taken away by the gendarmerie for investigation, struggling with all the effort, and finally being abandoned by everyone and ordered to commit suicide, it is better to be straightforward and commit seppuku to prove his loyalty.

It also prevents my family members in the country from being dragged down.

"Tano-kun."

Just as Tono Osamu's samurai sword was just unsheathed, Kazuki Yamamoto ran over with a dignified tone:

"Don't conflict blindly, seppuku will not solve the problem, it will only bury the problem and let the real enemy lurk deeper."

Yamamoto didn't have much other thoughts.

All he had in mind was to promote special operations, think of the empire, and be loyal to the emperor.

Yamamoto has been in charge of investigating the source of the leak of information on General Gangcun’s military column recently, but after more than half a month of investigation, he did not find even a clue, which made Yamamoto realize that the enemy’s penetration of the locust army may be much deeper than he imagined. many.

Either high position weight, or large scale.

Either way, it would be fatal to the Imperial Army.

Now the military column of General Katsutake Ishita was attacked again, and the attacker's actions were so decisive and efficient, which shows that the enemy also has the timetable and detailed information of the military column, which also proves his conjecture.

If Mr. Tono committed suicide, there would be no proof of his death, and it would be very difficult to conduct an in-depth investigation.

"Ichiki Yamamoto..."

Looking at Kazuki Yamamoto who was running, and the worried and anxious expression on Yamamoto's face, Dazuo Tono suddenly realized.

Although there is no evidence...
However, the biggest beneficiary is the biggest suspect.

Two consecutive attacks on the military column, two consecutive chiefs of staff of the North China Front Army Yu Sui, whether it is the First Army or the North China Front Army, have been blamed by the headquarters. General Tada Toshi may leave sooner. Big, but also get blamed.

Only Kazuki Yamamoto.

This person's secret service team protected General Gangcun, won the friendship of General Gangcun, the next commander of the North China Front Army, and got rid of him, a contender for the Chief of Staff of the First Army, and let General Tada Jun, who had never waited to see special operations, leave the field ahead of schedule. .

and···
Yamamoto himself is only the commander of a special team, his bad personality and scheming are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and not many people doubt him.

Even if there is doubt, he who is in charge of the investigation of the reason why the news of General Gangcun's military train was leaked can easily erase the clues, and General Jingxia's attack on the military train is perfectly out of suspicion.

Moreover, he will also bear all the responsibilities.

"This is the master..."

Thinking of this, Tono Osamu gritted his teeth, and with force in his hand, he slashed at Hattori severely.

The samurai sword pierced through, and then slashed horizontally.

"what···"

The severe pain struck, and Dasuo Tono couldn't bear to live.

The standard procedure for seppuku is to put a standard cross on one's abdomen to show bravery and fearlessness, and to express one's loyalty to the locust and the empire, but the great pain caused Du Ye to lose control of himself.

Kneeling on the ground, unable to continue exerting strength.

"Help···"

Struggling alone for a long time, Tono Dazuo looked up at Yamamoto in pleading voice.

Yamamoto was a standard soldier with rigid thinking and was deeply influenced by Bushido. In Bushido, interrupting seppuku is the greatest insult to a samurai, so Yamamoto looked solemn and respectful at this time.

This is a worthy imperial warrior.

But because of the perspective of looking up, the Yamamoto in Tono's eyes at this time has an indifferent expression, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, showing Yamamoto who is the winner in the end.

bang...

Hearing Tono's words, Yamamoto nodded, and the guards on the side swung their samurai swords at Tono.

···
Yang Village.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Zhang Dabiao all returned to the station.

"How about the casualties?"

As soon as he returned to Yangcun, Li Yunlong immediately asked the newly formed staff to count casualties, summarize the combat report, and then hold a regimental meeting.

"There were 350 casualties, of which 150 were killed in action, 82 were seriously injured, and 110 were slightly injured."

The staff of the regiment quickly counted the casualties.

"More than 300 soldiers were killed or injured at once."

Li Yunlong sighed.

Including Ding Wei's battalion, this operation, the independent regiment dispatched a total of more than 600 combatants, with 350 casualties, which means a casualty rate of over 20.00%. Even if only counting the deaths, it is over [-]%. .

Heavy casualties.

"This time is different from the previous ones. We are fighting fortified positions and ambush and annihilation battles. Both are tough battles, and the casualties are understandable." Zhao Gang on the side persuaded: "Besides, this time we killed nearly five hundred devils and captured them." A large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies."

"Not counting the wounded, the ratio of our losses to the Devil's is more than one to three." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "This number is indeed good."

"but."

Li Yunlong looked at the casualty report in his hand, his tone changed:
"This time when we attacked the Yangpo stronghold, our regiment had superior firepower and troops. The devils were still negligent and failed to show their full strength. Our casualties were still so high, which should not have happened."

"It shows that we have a lot of problems ourselves."

"The devil is negligent this time, but it is impossible to be negligent every time."

Li Yunlong looked very transparent.

Shovel slope ambush.

The devils were negligent, and the whole brigade got into the firepower net pre-arranged by the independent regiment. Until the end, the devil's [-]-type infantry artillery did not fire a single shot from the beginning to the end. Play space.

I am afraid that [-]% of his strength has not been used.

It's normal to be wiped out.

But even so, the first battalion commanded by Zhang Dabiao and the second battalion of the new first regiment still suffered more than 180 casualties, which shows that the independent regiment itself has many problems.

There is also a battle to attack the Yangpo stronghold.

The devils were also negligent. The commando captured the gate and lost a third of the position, which made the follow-up attack several times easier. The troops also had flamethrowers and 82 mortars, and they also figured out the building structure in Yangpo in advance. , the casualties are still high, and most of the soldiers killed in battle were in the Yangpo stronghold, which also shows that the independent regiment itself has many problems.

"really."

Kong Jie on the side also nodded in agreement:
"This attack on the Yangpo stronghold, if the devils hadn't been negligent and captured the gate, the casualties on my side would have more than doubled."

"Correct!"

Zhang Dabiao also nodded in agreement.

If the formation of the devils on the earth-shoveling slope were not so dense, if the devils sent a reconnaissance team in advance to find the ambush troops, if the devils dragged the Type [-] infantry artillery during the march... the casualties of the ambush troops under his command would probably double.

"The reason is actually quite simple."

Li Yunlong continued:
"We lack experience, we lack training."

"It's only been three months since I came here, and it's only been three months since the independent regiment's weapons and equipment were ready. Our regiment hasn't adapted to fighting under superior firepower, and we haven't been able to make use of the advanced weapons and equipment."

"Especially the 82 mortars and flamethrowers. We have only had it for half a month, and our experience in using them is seriously lacking. The troops have not formed effective coordination tactics. In this battle, there have even been a lot of accidental injuries."

A novice with a machine gun, not even as good as a veteran with a bolt-action rifle.

This is common sense.

"I'm afraid there is no solution in this short time."

Zhang Dabiao blinked and said:
"We can only organize the troops to train repeatedly and slowly find out the experience of using it. However, I'm afraid we don't have the time..."

"or···"

Li Yunlong took over the conversation with a serious tone:
"Or, through repeated actual combat, quickly accumulate experience and form effective tactics."

Hearing this, Zhao Gang glanced at the two of them.

What Li Yunlong said was justified and well-founded, and he accurately pointed out the current predicament of the army-there is no firepower that surpasses the devils, but it is impossible to convert all the firepower into combat power, and a lot of firepower is wasted.

In the case of the independent regiment, the shooting discipline can basically be ignored, and the bullets can be made casually, and the artillery can play artillery coverage, but the waste of firepower is not allowed.

The reason for this is experience and habit.

Whether it is a grassroots soldier, an officer of a squad, company or platoon, or even a regiment and battalion-level officer, the independent regiment is used to the tactics and command habits of the past when the firepower was seriously insufficient. During the interval between the firepower, he rushed forward to close the distance, and met the devil's bayonet.

There is no way, the bullets of the whole regiment are enough to cover the firepower of a round.

As for the ambush on the shoveling slope, the first round of firepower was just an appetizer, and the follow-up artillery fire and machine gun suppression were still endless.At this time, the follow-up troops should fight steadily, advance steadily, cooperate with the rear firepower to suppress the devil's activity space, cut, surround, and annihilate.

This is the reason for many accidental injuries—during the battle, many squads rushed too fast, moved improperly, blocked the rear machine guns, and some even rushed into the coverage of artillery fire.

Although the regiment headquarters expected it before the war and made targeted training and arrangements, the time was too short and the troops had not yet formed a habit.Now it seems that there is also a reason why the Xiaoyao Village army did not kill Gang Village in the ambush.

"What are your plans?"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong.

He figured it out, nominally to sum up combat experience, but in fact, to plan a new round of trouble.

However, Political Commissar Zhao looked at the casualty statistics table on the table, as well as the seized weapons and ammunition statistics table. Although he used words of blame, his tone was filled with excitement and anticipation.

It doesn't count as blowing up the devil's army column.

It's just the Yangpo stronghold.

In this battle, the Independence Regiment wiped out 830 devils, captured [-] puppet soldiers, and rescued [-] Guojun soldiers.

Seized 120 tons of grain, 370 five [-] big caps, [-] crooked handles, [-] rounds of Arizaka rifle bullets, [-] grenadiers, [-] grenade grenades, and a [-]-style infantry artillery, and fifty rounds of Type [-] infantry artillery shells.

Even if the superior blamed it, it was worth it.

"Let's be honest for a while."

Li Yunlong said:
"During this time, train the troops well, solve the problems exposed in this battle, and expand the independent regiment to 2000 people by the way."

"Those rescued Guojun prisoners who are willing to join us will form a teaching company to organize training and ideological education. After passing the qualifications, they will be stuffed into each company platoon. If they are not willing, let the monks persuade them."

"All the wounded are also sent to Brother Mo for treatment."

"The seized materials will be concentrated in the regiment headquarters first."

With food and soldiers, Li Yunlong started his expansion plan.

　There is something wrong with the rhythm of the plot, as expected, let me take my time...

　　That's why I started this book.
