blood feud

After continuous operations of the special battalion, the loss of troops was very large.Especially in the hand-to-hand combat this morning, 61 people were sacrificed at once, accounting for one-sixth of the total force.In addition to the raid and blocking battle that started the night before yesterday, 33 people were also sacrificed, and the current reduction in staff is 94.

When the first company set off, it had a full staff of 116 people. After two consecutive blocking battles, the troops were basically wiped out. At present, there are only 47 people left, which is just a little more than one platoon.

Yilian Changjing Zhongzhong's eyes were red and swollen. Since the end of the battle, he had been sitting silently in front of the graves of the martyrs and hadn't stood up until now.

Three companies and two ranked in this morning's battle, because they participated in hand-to-hand combat as a reserve team, and their losses ranked second.The company commander Miao Xintun and the three platoon leaders also sat there sullenly, wiping away tears.

During the battle, what the company commander yelled the most was:

"Follow me and rush—"

"Hold me! No one can take half a step back!"

After the battle, the saddest thing is the company commander and platoon leader.Containing the remains of comrades-in-arms, choosing the last cemetery for them, and sending them off for the last time, this is the business of the company commander and platoon leader, and it is also the most painful experience for the company commander and platoon leader!

In the entire special battalion, only Dong Dazhu's second company is the most organized.After three fierce battles, only 17 people were sacrificed in his second company.

This is the special camp!

In the course of a big battle, in order to cope with intensive and fierce battles, the battalion commander will always guarantee a complete company until the last moment, which is the trump card to win the final victory in the battle.

If the troops are used equally in all battles, at the last juncture, if there is a little special situation, the whole line may collapse!

Because of this, Jing Zhongzhong's series, the sharpest saber in Li Bozhou's hands, actually fought twice in less than three days!

Therefore, in this battle of Xinkailing, Jing Zhongzhong's company became the protagonist of the war of attrition.The final victory of the battle is guaranteed at the cost of a single combo.

Where there is battle, there will be sacrifice, and commanders at all levels have such an account in mind.People often say "Don't judge a hero by success or failure", this is the truth.

In the entire special battalion, the company suffered the most sacrifices and caused the greatest losses, but whether they were alive or lying down, they were all true heroes!

However, everyone knew very well that the battle had just begun.There are even more cruel situations waiting for you, because there are still thousands of enemies at the foot of the mountain!As long as the enemy is still there, the battle is never over.

After Li Bozhou accepted the order, he did not choose "20 people" according to Chen Jie's request, but called all the company commanders and platoon leaders to his side, and then came to the 192 people who asked to join the army.

"Brothers, since you have decided to stay and die with us, then come!" Li Bozhou said no nonsense: "One of my battalions has been beaten and disabled, and now we need to recruit 94 new recruits. If you are not afraid of death, just step forward , and then follow Lao Tzu to die!"

The big man in the lead took the first step: "Since I am going to die, I am the first!" After that, all the "liberation fighters" silently took a step forward.

What is "Although there are thousands of people, I will go"?This group of guys is it!They are ready to abandon everything and use practical actions to prove everything they say.

Li Bozhou stared at the leading man and asked, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Qi, and I have never had a tuba name. My brothers all call me Qi Laosan." The big man puffed up his chest and said, "Former deputy battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion of the 30th Army of the Northeast Army, and the third company commander Qi Laosan reported to the commander! "

"Qi Lao San, right?" Li Bozhou didn't expect there to be scouts here, and they are really a family: "Our team doesn't have any bullshit officers, they are all brothers who share life and death! But, I don't have a deputy battalion commander now. The position is given to you, but I can only temporarily give you a deputy platoon leader."

"Jing Zhongzhong, the first platoon lieutenant of your company has died, and I will send you a deputy battalion-level deputy platoon leader now! According to the full manpower standard, each company and platoon will replenish the troops neatly. Then equip the weapons in place in the seized weapons pile , go over there and prepare the horses, and follow Lao Tzu in an hour."

Li Bozhou organized his own special battalion here, while Chen Jie continued to discuss other battle arrangements with Zhang Minghan and Gao Jingxiang.

"Old Gao, there is nothing wrong here. Hurry up and lead the artillery company and all the wounded back to Tianhua Mountain. The safety of the secret camp rests with you. Tell Wu Zhiguo and the others to attract the enemy and give them to our side." Interspersed with actions to buy a certain amount of time."

"Old Zhang, you also go to replenish the troops, don't let that bum Li Bozhou eat alone. Then lead your cavalry battalion from the south of Tianhua Mountain, and a squadron on the side of Hongtonggou will be handed over to you! As for the Monk Cave A squadron here, I personally led the Motianling guerrillas to deal with them."

Zhang Minghan's cavalry battalion also lost a lot of losses. 23 people were also sacrificed in the previous blocking battle at Wudao Temple, and 8 people were sacrificed in the raid in Yangmulin, losing a platoon of troops.However, before he could take action, the three company commanders had already selected 31 cavalrymen and took them aside to whisper.

At this time, the remaining 67 people were not neglected, because Cai Guangtian from the Motianling guerrillas was sitting on the ground chatting with them.

The greatest ability of guerrillas is to be able to mobilize a peasant into a staunch fighter immediately, not to mention that these people are professional soldiers.

"To tell you the truth, don't look at them as a group of five or six. Lao Tzu's team was formed by the commander-in-chief himself. Although it sounds bad to say a guerrilla, we have our own regular number: Rehenan Manchu Independent Regiment Guard Battalion [-] Lian. Brothers, this is an order sent by the commander-in-chief and the deputy commander-in-chief in a telegram!"

The 67 new fighters were fooled by Cai Guangtian, and they immediately lost their way.However, Cai Guangtian did not lie, the Motianling guerrillas were indeed the seeds left by Bai Shujie.The number of the Second Company of the Guard Battalion of the South Manchuria Independence Regiment was also given by Chen Jie to Commander-in-Chief Bai Shujie.

In this way, the guerrillas sacrificed 61 people in hand-to-hand combat, and now they have 67 supplementary soldiers, from the original 137 people who participated in the battle to 143 people.

With the previous demonstration of Chen Jie's battle formation, Cai Guangtian now also follows the gourd.Because there were crooked machine guns among the seized weapons, he regrouped the 143 people.There are still two machine guns and a team of 4 people, plus 8 riflemen, a total of 12 people.

In fact, this is the basic organization of a combat squad. Chen Jie didn't explain it at the time because there was too little time.In addition, the guerrillas were not proficient in grenades, so Chen Jie was not equipped at that time.Now these 67 people are all professional soldiers. It is impossible for machine guns to be followed by rifles.

Sure enough, as soon as Cai Guangtian finished speaking, a new soldier said, "Sir, the North Korean Second Devils grenade launchers seized over there are actually very useful in infantry combat. I don't think it is necessary to use 8 riflemen in a combat squad. , Instead, we should take out 4 people and equip 2 grenades, so as to form an echelon of firepower to carry out offensive operations."

Cai Guangtian was overjoyed when he heard the words, and clapped his hands on his thighs: "**! I used to suffer from my old nose, but I just don't know how to play with that thing. So you all use grenades, so what are you talking about. Hurry up, Bring the grenades and grenades over there, they are all waiting to be used!"

Under the advice of these newly joined veterans, Cai Guangtian finally completed the new battle group:

The mortar platoon has three combat groups: 3 mortars with 72 rounds of ammunition; 3 grenadiers with 36 rounds of ammunition; used as battlefield support firepower.In addition, it is equipped with 3 crooked machine guns and 6 rifles, serving as battlefield protection.The entire artillery platoon is temporarily arranged for 30 people.

The machine gun platoon has 6 groups: each group is equipped with 3 crooked machine guns, 1 grenadier, 4 rifles, and a temporary number of 13 people.The machine gun platoon has a total of 80 people temporarily, serving as the main firepower strike force on the battlefield.

The remaining 33 people, as commandos or reserves, were also divided into three combat groups, each equipped with two crooked sub-machine guns and one grenadier.

When Chen Jie arrived here, Cai Guangtian and the others had just completed the battle formation, and the weapons and equipment of each battle team were already in place.

Looking at the orderly team, Chen Jie had an idea in his mind, so he asked in a deep voice, "Whose idea is this?"

Seeing Chen Jie's unsightly face, a new soldier immediately stood up and said, "Report to the officer, this is my idea!"

Chen Jie still had a gloomy face: "What's your name, and what kind of army do you work in?"

"Sir, my name is Du Ruhui. I used to be the artillery platoon leader. Later, when I arrived in Fengtian, because the Japanese were not prepared to equip the brigade with too many mortars, I became the infantry platoon leader again."

Chen Jie's expression didn't improve in the slightest: "Du Ruhui, I'm going to trouble Yu Zhishan's security brigade right now. First of all, I'll attack the squadron in Monk Cave. If there's only one company, what do you think is the right way to fight?"

Du Ruhui was not stage frightened: "As far as I know, the squadron in Heshangdong has only 176 people, equipped with one mortar, 6 grenade launchers and 6 machine guns. This squadron used to be the police force of Dongbiandao, and the following The three squad leaders don't work hard at all, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. If we have the equipment like ours now, with the strength of a company, they will definitely be defeated in a surprise attack."

"It's a fake trick to just talk and not practice. If it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out." Chen Jie said with a smile: "I will now appoint you as the company commander of this company, and Cai Guangtian as the deputy company commander. The goal of the battle is The squadron in Monk Cave, however, I don’t want to defeat, but wipe out. Can you do it?”

"Report sir, do all the prisoners count as total annihilation?" Du Ruhui was not excited about being the company commander, but said seriously: "At least half of the people in that squadron are in the same situation as ours, and they are ready to fight back at any time." .Although they are working for the Japanese now, they are not worthy of death. If I were to lead the team, I would not be able to kill them all.”

"Analyze specific issues in detail, and handle them flexibly at that time." Chen Jie nodded: "As for Yu Zhishan's subordinates, you know the details, so it's up to you to decide. You should understand the so-called general's fate. .”

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
