Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 186 Asking for Punishment (Third Watch!)

Political commissar Cheng Xiao rushed directly to the road to assist the troops in treating the wounded and counting the losses.

In less than 10 minutes, Cheng Xiao walked over with a serious expression on his face.

"Regimental Commander, the loss is out. In the bombing just now, we directly sacrificed 394 people, seriously injured 82, and slightly injured more than 200 people...including a deputy battalion commander, a deputy instructor, two company commanders, and three instructors. Three deputy company commanders, four deputy instructors!"

"More than half the casualties!" Wang Ping replied with a gloomy face.

Then he slammed his clenched fist on the grain bags piled up on the cart beside him, and shouted angrily: "Little devil, I will make you pay for your blood sooner or later! Political commissar, immediately organize the troops to retreat, as soon as possible!" Back inside the mountain, only when we enter the mountain, we will not be afraid of the little devil's bombing!"

"Also, send a telegram to the chief of staff and ask him to prepare for the air strikes by the little devils. No one can guarantee whether the little devils will bomb them after they blow us up!"

"The little devil's revenge is ruthless enough. Now it seems that our independent regiment's expedition this time is not worth the loss! After I go back, I will send a telegram to the commander, requesting punishment!"

"I'm also responsible!" Cheng Xiao said, and then ordered the troops to retreat.

At night, all the soldiers of the independent regiment who were active outside the mountain withdrew to the mountain.

After Wang Ping hurriedly ate something to fill his stomach, he entered the meeting room with a serious face.

Several members of the party committee of the independent regiment were all sitting in their seats, and everyone's face was not very good-looking.

"Leader!" Several people stood up and greeted Wang Ping.

Wang Ping waved his hands and said, "Sit down, let's stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point. Political commissar, you know the results and losses best, and you come to report to everyone!"

"Yes! Leader!" Cheng Xiao replied with a serious face.

"According to the statistics, all the main forces of our regiment have been dispatched in this battle, and there are also six recruit companies fighting together. When we set off yesterday, the total strength was more than [-] people!"

"However, in one day today, we only came back with more than 154 people, including [-] seriously injured. Many of them will not be able to return to the army even if they recover."

"There are more than 600 people left and more than 500 lightly wounded, but it does not affect the combat effectiveness!"

"The more than 900 soldiers and cadres I didn't mention all died, and the bodies of most of the sacrificed soldiers were not brought back for various reasons!"

"I am responsible for the heavy casualties. On the way back, I underestimated the enemy. I didn't expect the devils to send out planes to bomb us. If I had been more careful and prepared earlier, we would have saved at least [-] comrades from sacrifice!" Wang Ping suddenly Jack said.

"After the meeting is over, I will personally send a telegram to the military sub-division, asking for punishment!"

Cheng Xiao immediately interjected: "I am the political commissar, and I was there at the time. If it is said that I am responsible, I am also responsible!"

Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "I am the chief military officer, and I am responsible. Political commissar, don't take responsibility on yourself. Go ahead and let everyone understand our losses and gains in this battle as soon as possible."

Cheng Xiao replied helplessly: "Leader, no matter what you say, if you have a responsibility, you have a responsibility. After the meeting is over, I will also send a telegram asking for punishment to the military division."

After finishing speaking, he returned to the subject: "Comrades, although the casualties were great, our victories were not small."

"According to the battle results reported by the battalions and companies, in the battle last night, we wiped out at least two battalions of the Imperial Association Army and 700 Japanese troops!"

"The real battle results must be more than this number. After all, during the battle throughout the night, most of us were on the defensive, and we only counted the number of enemy annihilations in the defense without any doubts!"

"In addition, the two Imperial Association barracks in the annihilation of the enemy, more than 300 Imperial Association troops have become our prisoners!"

"Finally, let me talk about our gains: Excluding the ones that were blown up by devils with planes on the way back, we still have two mountain cannons, two infantry cannons, six mortars, eight heavy machine guns, and 19 crooked handles. There are 7 made in the Czech Republic, 16 grenade launchers, and 586 [-] caps, of which [-] [-] caps were seized from the devil's material warehouse, and they have not even been oiled, brand new!"

"In addition, there is also the official Mauser 452 equipped by the Imperial Association Army!"

"In terms of ammunition, there are a total of 600 mountain artillery shells, 42 infantry artillery shells, more than 53 mortar shells, 21 boxes of heavy machine gun bullets, and [-] rifle and crooked handle bullets. Five boxes, [-] boxes of special grenades and grenades, and a large number of other materials, all of which have been shipped back, the most important of which is [-] catties of food!"

In front of the huge battle results, the dignified expressions on everyone's faces were much less serious.

But at this moment, Cheng Xiao changed the subject and continued: "However, our consumption in this battle is also very huge, and Director Jiang has the most right to speak here!"

Jiang Hongchun immediately stood up: "Comrades, according to the orders of the regimental commander and the political commissar, when the troops go out, ordinary soldiers are equipped with fifty rounds of ammunition. In addition, in order to avoid accidents, the supply company also brought fifty boxes of one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition as spares. It all adds up to 23 rounds."

"When the troops came back, I saw that most of the bullets in the hands of the soldiers were almost used up. This means that we used up 20 rifle bullets in this battle."

"The remaining shells, grenades, heavy machine gun bullets, everything that was taken out, is basically used up."

"On the surface, we have seized a large amount of equipment and ammunition, but after deducting the loss, it would be nice to have half of it left!"

"The only things that make everyone happy are those mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, and light and heavy machine guns! With these equipment, our artillery company finally lives up to its name!"

Huge casualties, huge losses, all told Wang Ping that this proactive attack did not achieve the desired results.

Therefore, as soon as the briefing was over, Wang Ping locked himself in the room with a solemn face.

It took half an hour to come out, and then handed over a densely written telegram to Xu Guang.

"Platoon Leader Xu, send the telegram to the military division immediately, and send it to me as soon as the military division calls back."

What Wang Ping didn't expect was that as soon as he left, political commissar Cheng Xiao rushed over and signed his name on the telegram before Xu Guang sent it.

Commander Yang Chengwu of the Military Division Headquarters was just about to rest after dinner when Xiong Botao broke in.

"Commander, a telegram from the Independent Regiment..."

"Wang Ping's independent regiment, did he win the battle again! The last time he won the battle, he wiped out a cavalry brigade of devils. Although there were only three or four hundred devil soldiers, their influence was so great that even the head of the headquarters was alarmed. More importantly Yes, he got two infantry guns and a cavalry company's equipment, which made me so greedy that I wished I could rush to the Independence Regiment's garrison to get back those good equipment!" Yang Chengwu regained his energy all of a sudden.

Chief of Staff Xiong Botao replied with a look of embarrassment: "Commander, the Independent Regiment did fight a battle just now, but you need to judge whether it was a big victory. telegraph!"

"Please punish yourself?" Yang Chengwu frowned, grabbed the telegram and began to browse!
