The opening of the bright sword leads a battalion

Chapter 75 Within Three Days
The continuous explosions finally stopped after a few minutes.

The soldiers dispatched urgently by the Sakata Regiment searched in the dark for a while, but found nothing.After all, the soldiers of the fourth company who threw the grenade had already fled.

In desperation, the devil soldiers had no choice but to withdraw. They didn't have the courage to approach Weishui Village in the dark.

The successive big explosions just now made them lose the courage to fight at night. At this moment, they just want to find a safe place to calm down their rapid heartbeat.

And after the soldiers withdrew...

Sakata Alliance, in the temporary tent at the rear.

Staff Officer Yamada is sitting here with a stern expression at the moment, waiting for the report from his subordinates.

And after waiting for a while...

A civilian with the rank of lieutenant walked into the tent with a report in his hands.

Seeing this lieutenant, Yamada turned his head expressionlessly and asked:

"The casualties of the troops have been counted?"

Hearing this, the lieutenant took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat. Along the way, he was sweating all over while rushing to count the casualties.

He glanced at the report card in his hand and said:
"Yes, sir, the statistics are out."

"The casualties of the army are about 300 people, among them, more than 100 people were killed in battle, and the rest are basically minor injuries."

After hearing this, Staff Officer Yamada changed his expression. More than 100 people were killed in battle?
You know, the more than 100 people in the imperial army can face the 500 people of the Eighth Route Army head-on, and beat the Eighth Route Army!

For Yamada, this loss was not small.

But then, the lieutenant's report made Yamada even more mad.

At this time, the lieutenant's face was covered with beads of sweat.It was obvious that he had just wiped off his sweat, but at this moment, the sweat dripped down the lieutenant's face, but even his clothes were soaked.

His hands were trembling, and he wiped his sweat again, and he continued:

"However, among the more than 100 casualties, five were lieutenant-level officers, and more than 20 were sergeant squad leaders. These squad leaders were all supervising the excavation of trenches at the time, but they were caught fire by grenades, and unfortunately they were destroyed. "

"Ah, one of them is Captain Hashimoto. This is the officer with the highest rank among the officers killed this time. His position is the squadron leader..."

And that's just the casualties before the war started.

Before the war started, more than 100 of the more than 20 sergeants in the Sakata United were killed under the deliberate targeting of the Fourth Company.

Staff Officer Yamada knew very well what this meant to the Sakata Wing, which meant that a large number of available low-level officers of the Sakata Wing were killed.

And if the original officer in the team is killed, even if it is temporarily replaced by someone else, the effect will not be as good as under the command of the previous officer, and the combat effectiveness of the team will be greatly reduced.

Yamada's complexion also became more and more gloomy, he gritted his teeth and asked:

"What about the loss of ordnance, how many weapons have we lost?"

Hearing this, the lieutenant who was in charge of reporting was trembling with fright. It seemed that Nakasa Yamada was really going to get angry right now.

He suppressed his fear forcibly, and said nervously:

"Wu, weapons and ordnance... We have a large number of machine guns destroyed, and the losses are very heavy..."

After hearing this, Yamada knew that the other party was deliberately fooling himself. He stared at the lieutenant and asked:
"What about the numbers, waste, I want to hear the specific numbers!"

The lieutenant swallowed when he heard the words, he just felt that he was very scared now.When he opened his mouth, he couldn't even stop his voice from trembling.

He said:
"Numbers, numbers...heavy, eight heavy machine guns were lost, light, twenty light machine guns were lost, and the firepower of the imperial army's machine guns...about one-third, among them, most of them could no longer Repaired."

"Commander, Chief of Staff, this is the enemy's intentional targeting of machine guns and officers, it's none of my business..."

The lieutenant kept explaining to himself that he only hoped that Nakasa Yamada would not take his anger out on him.

But upon hearing this number, Yamada was heartbroken, completely in a rage, and ignored it.

"idiot!"

As soon as he raised his hand, he slapped the lieutenant's body with a slap, and his fingernails even scratched blood on the lieutenant's face.

In a rage, Yamada would never let go of the human sandbag in front of him. He ran to beat the table and tear down the tent. Although he relieved his anger, he was the one who hurt.

Therefore, if you want to vent, you still have to find a subordinate.

So, Yamada kept punching and kicking the lieutenant, venting his anger.At the same time, some swear words were still spitting out of his mouth, but at the end of the swear words, Yamada ran out of words, and there was only one "eight ga" left.

And after venting his anger.

Like Ah Wei who was being bullied by Brother Jie, the lieutenant lay powerlessly on the side, but did not dare to move.

After venting his anger, Yamada on the side calmed down a little. He tidied up the somewhat messy devil uniform and grinned.

Glancing at the lieutenant at the side, he knew very well that it was not the lieutenant who was at fault in this matter, but the Chinese man named Chu Qi.

Chu Qi...

Thinking of Chu Qi, Yamada recalled that this was the second time he had dealt with Chu Qi.

The last time they met, Chu Qi's team was only good at hand-to-hand combat, and had no other specialties.

But this time, they suffered such a huge loss before the battle started. It was obvious that Chu Qi's subordinates had different combat effectiveness than before.

Suffering such a huge loss...even if Yamada wins in the end, but after returning to Taiyuan...he will definitely face the punishment of Commander Shinozuka.

And Yamada's previous plan to change from temporarily commanding the Sakata United Team to a full-time team leader has become completely impossible.

Right now, he can only count on whether he can completely annihilate Chu Qi's troops, offset his mistakes with military exploits, and avoid Commander Shinozuka's punishment.

"Damn it, Chu Qi..."

Thinking of this, Yamada gritted his teeth, and Chu Qi ruined the plan of the captain to become a full-time member...

I saw him roaring:
"Within three days, the All-Union Team must crush this Chinese man named Chu Qi to ashes!"

Suffered such a large loss, but for the Sakata United, it was only nearly one-third of the machine guns and more than 20 officers.

His Sakata United team still has the power to fight the first battle, and still has a strong firepower advantage against the Eighth Route Army.

Even Chu Qi is surrounded, can he still escape?

He must be crushed to ashes!

……

……

After roaring, Yamada turned around and looked at the lieutenant lying beside him.

He glanced at the lieutenant, kicked lightly, and said:

"Hey, don't pretend to be dead, get up for me."

"Hurry up, go and inform the artillery unit, let them shoot the elements according to the measurements during the day, and start shelling Weishui Village immediately."

Hearing this, the lieutenant moved his fingers, and he struggled to get up, limping, and was about to notify the artillery squadron.

But suddenly, Yamada called him back.

"and many more!"

Hearing this, the lieutenant turned around suspiciously, his left cheek was a little swollen, and he looked very miserable.

Holding back his swollen eyes, the lieutenant took a look, but saw Yamada waved his hand and said:
"Don't notify the artillery unit yet. The combat conditions in the dark are poor, and the artillery unit can easily be attacked by the Eight Route Army just like before."

"Let them start shelling at dawn. It's safer. Maybe the soldiers of the Eighth Route are still wandering around at this time."

Hearing this, the lieutenant nodded in a daze, his face is gradually getting swollen and bigger, making his head a little heavy.

When Yamada saw this, he waved his hand, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Knowing that Yamada was chasing someone away, the lieutenant bowed slowly and limped out of the tent.

Then he rushed to the artillery squadron to inform them of the order from Yamada.
