Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 23 Unsatisfactory Results
The third infantry squad plus a heavy machine gun squad has a total strength of more than 80 people.

After rounds of thunderstorms by the guards, not even 30 people survived to retreat.

Including the remaining supply troops and guard troops around Aoki, the total strength is less than 60 people.

More importantly, half of these people are technical arms without much combat effectiveness.

Although they brought back two heavy machine guns, three grenadiers, and a crooked handle.If it is used for defense, it must have more than enough firepower.But there is no need to think about attacking. Without combat troops, no matter how powerful the firepower is, it is impossible to destroy the enemy.

The moment he saw the retreating troops, Aoki despaired, and he also cut off the idea of ​​taking down the Eighth Route Army's First Army Sub-district Command by himself.

But at this moment, Tubalu, who had always been looked down upon by him, and who was chased and beaten by him, actually chased and beat the retreating troops.

Because the two heavy machine guns were still on the way to retreat, it was impossible to provide fire cover for the retreating troops.Dozens of Tuba roads chasing and killing his subordinates can be described as unscrupulous.

"Bageyalu, when did the imperial army of the Japanese Empire not fall to this point, and they were chased and beaten by Tubalu! No, I want to fight back, and I will fight back immediately, and teach them a lesson!" Aoki seemed to be angry Lion, cursed loudly!
The deputy captain next to him still had some sense, and quickly reminded: "Captain calm down. We are short of troops, and even if we want to fight back, there will be no one! Tubalu must want to wipe us out here, we can't be the first in the alliance to be killed. The formed squadron eliminated by the Tuba Road, otherwise! We will definitely become the laughing stock of the imperial army!"

For soldiers!The honor of a soldier is above all else, and Captain Aoki is no exception.Otherwise, he wouldn't have just led an infantry squadron to go deep alone, and wanted to win the victory of destroying the First Army Division Command of the Eighth Route Army alone!
Therefore, as soon as the deputy captain finished speaking, he hesitated!
Then he ordered loudly: "Retreat, order the troops to continue to retreat, the terrain here is not suitable for defense, we cannot be wiped out here by the Tuba Road!"

"There is a small highland on the road 600 meters away from here. It is suitable for standing firm and waiting for reinforcements. Let the troops retreat there for defense. Wait for the reinforcements sent by the regiment commander to arrive before launching an attack and destroying their headquarters!"

"Your Excellency, captain, is wise!" the deputy captain said with a sigh of relief.

Once the Japanese army retreated, the weapons and ammunition they left on the battlefield belonged to the guard company.

In addition, the guard company hadn't wiped out the teeth of the devil's remnant soldiers in a short time. Zeng Quan was called back by Wang Ping just after chasing him less than 300 meters away.

Then let people clean up the battlefield while strengthening the position.

At this time, the ambush battle of the main force of the First Army Division against the devil's encirclement and suppression troops has begun!Because Wang Ping appeared out of nowhere, he brought back a lot of weapons and ammunition for the first division that lacked guns and ammunition!The whole ambush battle went very smoothly.

In less than two hours, more than 300 devils were wiped out!
And to rescue this reinforced squadron!The devils from the three nearby squadrons were all desperate to reinforce, fighting with the reinforcements from the first division, they were powerless to reinforce Captain Aoki.

When the ambush battle personally commanded by Yang Chengwu ended, the main force of the First Army Division began to withdraw from the battlefield one after another. Captain Aoki, who was standing still and waiting for reinforcements, still did not receive any reinforcements.

And once the main force retreats, there is no need for the guard company to keep defending, and they will disappear into the battlefield together!

At this time, the expression on Zeng Quan's face could already be described as excited!

Because the troops seized a large number of weapons and equipment.Although many weapons were destroyed in the thunderstorm, those intact ones were enough for the guard company to expand another platoon, and the firepower increased by [-]%, or even [-]%!

Zeng Quan, who was very happy to run in front of Wang Ping, immediately reported: "Company Commander, the results of the battle have been counted!"

"The devils left a total of 78 corpses in front of our position, including a second lieutenant captain, and a whole team and a half of devils! We lost 39 people ourselves, of which 27 were sacrificed. The devil's marksmanship is too accurate, or it was killed by the devil Headshot directly or hit the chest and retreat, or a hole is punched in the body, and you can return to the army when it is cured!"

"39 to 78, overall, we still won!" Wang Ping said with a long sigh!

Because the base area was newly established, there were not so many people joining the Eighth Route Army, and the military divisions did not have so many recruits to supplement the troops.Therefore, what Wang Ping was most worried about was that the guard company suffered too many casualties and could not be replenished in a short period of time, unable to recover its combat effectiveness.

Now it seems that I am a little too worried.The casualties of less than 40 people are still within their own tolerance.

But at this moment, Zeng Quan changed the subject and continued: "Company commander, don't make a mistake, this is just a loss in a frontal blocking battle. We also lost a lot of people in the sneak attack on the devils in front, and the total number exceeds 60 people. Among them, there are 46 comrades who died, including a platoon leader and two squad leaders!"

The good mood on Wang Ping's face disappeared immediately, and he asked back with a calm face: "That is to say, there are only about [-] guards in the guard company that can still move. In less than a day, we have lost more than half of our troops!"

Zeng Quan hurriedly comforted: "Company commander, the loss is great, but it is not without gain."

"There are more than 60 people left, including the injured brother, and now they all look like veterans. Although the number of troops is reduced, the combat effectiveness of our guard company has not decreased!"

"There are also captured, because the devils retreated too fast, and we captured all the weapons before they could be taken away. The current guard company, even if it is expanding its army, does not need to worry about weapons!"

"Now, the whole company has a heavy machine gun, five boxes of bullets, three grenades, 25 rounds of special grenades, five light machine guns with crooked handles, 129 5000-piece guns, and more than 9 rounds of bullets. There are 128 pistols, bullets are not counted, and [-] grenades!"

"With these weapons and ammunition, as long as we have soldiers, we can expand the guard company into a reinforced company in a very short time!"

Wang Ping's face looked better, but he still said regretfully: "There are a lot of weapons, but the ammunition is a little less. Especially grenades for grenades and ordinary bullets, they can withstand a high-intensity battle."

At this time, Zeng Quan despised Wang Ping very much!
"Company commander, when did you become so rich, so many bullets are too few. Do you know how many bullets the newly established second regiment of the military region has? There are more than 1000 people, and ordinary soldiers have five bullets per capita. Only a small number of veterans He and the sharpshooter are only equipped with ten or twenty rounds of ammunition. Our ammunition in a company is almost catching up with a regiment of them, do you still think it is too little?"

Seeing the excitement and pride on Zeng Quan's face, Wang Ping didn't answer right away, but fell into deep thought!
