Chapter 144

"Stop chasing, return to clean up the battlefield"

Seeing the signal flare flying up behind him again, Yu Sheng raised the reins to rein in his military horse, and then ordered the cavalry battalion to stop chasing the devils.

Only one hour has passed since the two main regiments of the 119th Brigade of the 344th Division opened fire until Yu Sheng reined in his horse and stopped the army. People beat the enemy with a total of 500 people, including a brigade of devils and puppet troops.

Seeing the results of his troops, the brigade commander was a little stunned for a while.

This time, this result, this is a miracle.

At Pingxingguan, he also personally commanded the battle on the front line. Their entire division fought from early morning to evening, and the result of the battle was only to eliminate more than 1000 devils. Now, he has a brigade and a cavalry battalion. Press dead.

Counting the puppet troops who surrendered, the number of his wounded enemies was close to a thousand.

And there were almost no major casualties.

Although he could also see that the group of devils ambushed by them was a group of second-line rookies, far less sophisticated and tyrannical than the Itagaki Division in Pingxingguan, but this is still a Japanese army brigade, after at least eight months. Trained ghost soldiers.

Moreover, this devil brigade is not the kind of pure recruits. Most of their reactions to attacks are timely and reasonable, their fighting will is very strong, and their Bushido spirit is full. Every wounded soldier tries to block the pursuit by dying together.

When did the devils lay so easily in ambush?
The power of the 60 mortar shells is not great. If it is cement or hard stone ground, it can only leave a small crater a few centimeters deep, but on this soft soil road, it still leaves a big crater. The bomb crater, enough for one person to avoid, looked at the road full of potholes, and subconsciously, the brigade commander looked at the artillery company positions on the two highland hills.

On both sides of the wind pressure valley, on the hills with obvious snow, the artillery company has cleared its positions.

"Speed ​​up and clean the battlefield, hurry up, the enemy's reinforcements are coming soon, take these traitors back and teach them a lesson"

Looking back, the brigade commander issued a new order.

······
Half an hour later, Feng Yagu had gone to the empty valley, leaving only the sound of the wind howling and the white corpses of the devils all over the ground. The 344 brigade showed the spirit of diligence and frugality, and even dismantled all the devil's cars. Half of the broken frame remained.

Three hours after the start of the battle, the reinforcements of the Japanese army came late, and at this time, let alone the ambush troops in the wind pressure valley, even the 17th regiment responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the Japanese army had already withdrawn from their positions.

"idiot"

The little devil commander who came to support drew out his command knife and slashed. The knife slashed straight on the remaining half of the car frame. Accompanied by the violent collision with sparks, the little devil's hand was numb from the shock. They were almost unsteady.

About half an hour later, a ghost squadron leader came over.

"Report to Lieutenant Commander, Captain Aso has been killed in battle. A total of 409 people in our army were killed in battle, and no one was missing or captured. The Imperial Association Army killed 207 people. The remaining 287 people are all missing. They should be captured."

The squadron leader reported casualties.

"Do you know which army did it?" The captain of the lieutenant assistant squinted his eyes, looking at the corpses that had been cleaned up all around, with bloodthirsty tyranny and killing intent in his eyes.

"According to the report of the soldiers of the Aso brigade who escaped, the attackers should be the Eighth Route Army. In terms of size, it should be the size of two brigades, with strong firepower and artillery."

The squadron leader paused, his tone suddenly changed.

"If there is no error in TGK's information, then the ones who attacked us should be the 119th Brigade of the 344th Division of the Eighth Route Army and the rest of the main force. There are more than 8000 people in total. Including the surrounding miscellaneous guerrillas, the total number of people is no more than [-]."

"Information from T-Tech..."

The lieutenant captain obviously understood what his subordinates meant.

Before the start of this operation, the intelligence surveyed by Tegao was clearly marked, and the enemy lacked equipment and ammunition.

But looking at the densely packed bullet craters around the road, the densely packed bullet holes on the car, and the bullet holes on the soldiers' corpses, the corners of the captain's eyes twitched.

Lack of equipment?Short of ammunition?
Nearly a hundred light and heavy machine guns, and a squadron of mortar firepower, is this a lack of equipment?With more than [-] rounds of shells covering the fire, all the soldiers who died in battle were killed by bullets, and none of them died from bayonets, and most of them were killed by several bullets. Is this a shortage of ammunition?

In this way, the imperial army should also be short of weapons and ammunition.

"Contain the corpses of the fallen soldiers of the empire. As for the imperial association army, just bury them anywhere. In addition, take a picture of the situation here. I think the headquarters and the special high-tech department will be interested in this."

Putting away the samurai sword, Lieutenant Commander said in a dark tone.

"Hi" the squadron leader led the way.

······
"Brigade Commander, almost all the shells I brought out have been shot, and there is not a single one left."

On the way back to the camp, Sun Guosheng, the commander of the new artillery company of the 344th Division, shrank his neck and carefully reported to his brigade commander.

He has a total of 190 people in his company and has seven 7-caliber mortars. Before this battle, the brigade commander approved him 60 rounds of shells. How many.

But at this moment, Sun Guosheng was still a little flustered. The shells he fired in this battle had exceeded the total shells fired by the 119th Division in one year.

In the future, we must save this fight, and we must not beat it like this time.

Sun Guosheng secretly reminded himself in his heart.

"It's all over?"

The brigade commander held a newly seized Zuoguan knife in his hand, and muttered to himself.

"I'm sorry, Brigadier, I will save my time fighting in the future, you can dismiss me if you want, just don't kick me out of the artillery company, I can be an ordinary gunner" seeing the brigade commander muttering slightly frowning, Sun Guosheng hurriedly cried and begged for mercy.

He was most afraid that the brigade commander would kick him out of the artillery company. His dream in this life was to be an artilleryman. Now that his dream has been fulfilled, he is really reluctant to leave.

"It seems that the firepower is still not enough, next time we need to allocate more shells." The brigade commander frowned slightly. The battle was so easy this time, and the firepower of the mortar was more than [-]% of the credit.

But thinking of the half of the large group of devils who escaped, the brigade commander felt that the firepower of the mortar company had to be strengthened a little bit.

After muttering to himself, he heard Sun Guosheng's words, and then asked suspiciously.

"Why are you dismissed? Did you make a mistake? Violated discipline? Turn yourself in"

"Ah, no, it's nothing, it's nothing," Sun Guosheng quickly denied, he had just heard the brigade commander's last mutter.

Next time we need to allocate more shells.

Quietly lowering his steps, Sun Guosheng was a few steps behind the brigade commander. Looking at the brigade commander's back, he was overjoyed and confused for a moment.

What was overjoyed was that the brigade commander didn't care about the waste of shells, and he didn't even think that the shells allocated to him were too few. What was puzzled was...
What's the situation, next time we need to allocate more shells, where did so many shells come from?
But he didn't dare to ask, or even know.

In short, the shells are enough.He thought happily.
