Chapter 131 The hot position
Tang Yufeng wanted to know more than anyone how much meat the troops cut off the Japanese and how much they took back and seized.
As soon as Li Honghui walked in, he asked anxiously: "Old Li, how many are the results of the battle and the seizure, we are almost dying."
"The attacking troops killed 59 Japanese soldiers, 38 puppet troops, and captured six puppet troops who pretended to be dead." Li Honghui glanced at the list in his hand and replied.
"The fifty-nine Japanese devils all have nameplates to prove their identities, and the highest rank is a second lieutenant."
"Two intact heavy machine guns were seized, one crooked, 29 38 large covers were captured, 34 were built in Hanyang, one box cannon, and six turtle boxes."
"In addition, we brought back a bullet belt, with 71 armed belts, all of which were filled with bullets, totaling more than 2,000 rounds."
"In the end, there are some things that are covered, there are 54 sets in total!"
"Are both heavy machine guns good?" Tang Yufeng was even more anxious than before, and his breathing became rapid and he was very nervous. He stared at Li Honghui with Chen Zhengyu.
Li Honghui nodded: "It's all intact, it can be used when it is put on!"
"That's great, our fire platoon can finally be worthy of its name." Tang Yufeng did not have the impulse in front of his subordinates for the first time, and shouted excitedly, happier than hearing the troops kill fifty or sixty Japanese devils just now.
Immediately ordered Li Honghui: "The battalion commander must be fighting for the interests of our third battalion at the headquarters. If you are familiar with it, set off now and report the results we have just obtained to the headquarters to cheer for the battalion commander."
"But you must remember that after you go, you can only report our enemy annihilation to the headquarters. The results and losses of the war must be reported to the battalion commander in secret. The battalion commander decides whether to report to the headquarters and how much to report. You must not make your own decision!"
It was already late in the night in Pingding City, and there was darkness everywhere, and there was no one on the streets, but these were superficial phenomena. Tonight, many people were destined to be unable to sleep.
Some people are excited, some are expecting, some are desperate, and some are frowning, worried about their future...
The headquarters of the garrison brigade was brightly lit, no one was resting, and they were all doing things.
The deputy captain sat in a position that should belong to Major Fujita, frowned.
He led his troops all the way and returned to the county town before dark.
Major Fujita, who had lost his fighting spirit, was completely out of his mind. As soon as he returned to the command center, he ordered the deputy captain to serve as acting captain, locking himself in the room, and no one could enter.
As expected, after the door opened tomorrow morning, Major Fujita had already turned into a corpse after the stomach was opened.
The captain died, and the deputy captain had a high chance of going up one step and becoming the new captain of the garrison brigade.
But the deputy captain doesn't seem to be in this position at all, and he doesn't even want to sit at the current position of the deputy captain.
He was also scared by the National Salvation Army. If he became the new captain, his first mission would definitely be to eliminate the National Salvation Army.
After today's battle, he had no confidence in destroying the national rescue army.
If the mission fails, he will become the next Fujita.
He didn't want to die yet, so he would rather be transferred to other garrison teams as a squadron leader than stayed in the presidency of the overall situation as a captain. This position is too dangerous, and it would be like a fire, and he might lose his head at any time.
But before the new captain takes office, as the deputy captain, no matter how unkind you are, you must stand up and take charge of the overall situation, otherwise you will be inaction.
At this moment, the first problem he faced was to report today's battle situation.
How could the Shangfeng know that the Punishment Guard Team was defeated without angering the regiment captain or causing trouble?
"Sir, the losses of the troops have been counted!" A staff officer came over and brought the contemplative deputy captain back to reality.
"Say..." The deputy captain was nervously ordered.
Although I already have a rough estimate of this number, I am still very nervous when I really have to face it. I hope it is smaller than my own estimate, and I am worried that it is larger than my estimate.
The staff officer reported in a low voice: "In this battle, we dispatched three infantry squadrons, one cavalry squadron, three mortar squadrons, three heavy machine gun squadrons, one infantry artillery squadron, one mountain artillery squadron, and four companies of the Imperial Army, a total of more than 1,200 people."
"The mountain artillery squad and infantry artillery squad were completely destroyed, and all equipment and personnel were lost."
"The three mortar teams lost all mortars, nearly 80% of the personnel, and only 13 gunners came back."
"The three heavy machine gun teams lost three heavy machine guns, and they formed heavy machine gunners in the near future, and 43 people came back."
"The cavalry squadron has no losses!"
"More than half of the three infantry squadrons were injured and half, only 184 people came back, and about 50% of the light and heavy equipment were lost."
"More than half of the Imperial Army of the four companies were injured or killed, only 101 people came back, and nearly 70% of the equipment was lost."
"Together, a total of 542 Imperial Army members were lost, 308 Imperial Army members were lost, and 345 Imperial Army and 101 Imperial Army members were withdrawn safely."
The deputy captain collapsed on the chair, and the data were much larger than he had expected.
He waved his hand and ordered helplessly: "Leave the list, you can go out!"
"Hi!"
If the staff officer is released again, he leaves a list and walks out quickly, afraid that the deputy captain will change his mind temporarily and then call himself back.
After two minutes of silence, the deputy captain thought of a solution: report the defeat of the garrison brigade in truth.
Although it will anger the wing captain and even cause trouble, it may not be a relief.
No matter how you report it, Captain Fujita, who has issued a military order, will undoubtedly die and will definitely bear most of the responsibility for the defeat in this battle.
I am the deputy captain, and I will definitely not be able to escape the joint and several liability.
If this is the case, the punishment he received would definitely not be too severe. In order to make the newly appointed captain familiar with the pacification as soon as possible, he would probably continue to act as deputy captain, which was not the result he wanted.
After thinking about it, the deputy captain decided to anger the captain of the regiment in the report and let him punish him severely.
Even if you are demoted to the squadron leader or even the deputy squadron leader, as long as you can leave the pacification, it is better than continuing to be the deputy captain of the pacification garrison brigade.
Do it when you think about it, and the deputy captain immediately called the brigade command center...
In a secret room at the Eighth Route Army Traffic Station, three middle-aged people sat around a table, excited and expectant, without any sleepiness.
One of the middle-aged people was the head of the underground party left by the Eighth Route Army in pacification, and the other was Staff Zheng who had just moved here from the division headquarters.
Less than 400 Japanese and puppet troops retreated to the county town in a panic before dark. They couldn't hide such a big thing, they knew it three hours ago.
The scenes of the Japanese army sending troops two days ago are still vivid in their minds. More than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops, carrying artillery and heavy machine guns, left and pacify in a mighty manner like a military parade.
Just two days later, more than one thousand troops were beaten to death and suffered more than half of them. They fled back to the county town like a dog. There are too many questions they don't know about.
The Japanese and puppet troops had guns, guns, cannons, and had military strength advantages, and had very strong combat power.
On the other hand, their target of attack was the National Salvation Army, which was only expanded by a dissatisfied main battalion of the Jinsui Army. Half of the troops were recruits and had no heavy weapons. If they wanted to break their heads, they didn't understand how the Japanese were defeated.
As soon as he received the news that the Japanese and puppet troops were defeated, General Zheng mobilized all underground parties in the city to investigate the matter.
At this moment, they were all waiting here for news.
If you don’t understand the questions in your mind, you can’t even sleep when you lie in bed.
"Pongpong..."
The long-lost knock finally rang. After confirming that the signal was correct, the third middle-aged man in the room opened the door of the secret room. A young man who was a little younger than them, dressed in a long cloth shirt and dressed as a businessman walked in.
"Chief, time is limited, and we cannot leave the city. We can only find out some of the information you want."
Staff Officer Zheng had long been unable to wait: "Tell me what you know first!"
The young man nodded: "The Japanese and puppet troops attacking the National Salvation Army were indeed defeated. More than 1,200 people were beaten to more than 400 people, and the remaining nearly 800 people were all killed!"
"The specific combat process is not clear, but when I heard that when the Japanese were about to win, the artillery position was suddenly attacked by unknown armed forces, all the artillery was lost, and most of the heavy machine guns were also lost."
"After losing artillery, the Japanese and puppet troops retreated voluntarily and ended the battle early..."
Chief Zheng nodded: "Let our people continue to inquire, and we must figure out the entire battle process."
"After dawn, I have to send people out of the city and go directly to the battlefield to inquire."
After saying that, Staff Zheng fell into deep thought: The goal of his trip was also the National Salvation Army. If they really had the ability to severely damage more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops, then the strength of this National Salvation Army was not only beyond his expectations, but also stronger than the division commander expected, so that his trip would not be in vain.
After recalling the report just now by the intelligence personnel, a bold guess suddenly appeared in Staff Zheng's mind.
If the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops was really disintegrated because of the destruction of the artillery positions, then the mysterious armed forces attacking the artillery positions were probably the third battalion of the National Salvation Army they were looking for.
Looking at the entire pacification, except for the Third Battalion, no other anti-Japanese armed forces had the strength to raid the Japanese artillery positions.
As I thought about it, I couldn't wait to get up, hoping to see Zhou Cheng earlier.
In a very inconspicuous yard, several young people were not asleep either and were walking back and forth in the room, as if waiting for someone else.
They are intelligence personnel affiliated to the Second World War Zone and are specifically responsible for collecting and pacifying the country's intelligence.
They also received the news that the Japanese and puppet troops were defeated at the hands of the National Salvation Army.
In one battle, nearly 800 Japanese and puppet troops were killed, most of them were Japanese. Such results could be considered a great victory when put on the front line, not to mention behind enemy lines.
In order to send this good news to the war zone as soon as possible and to inspire the morale of the troops, several people mobilized their subordinates to collect exact information about the battle as soon as they received the news.
The more information you have in your hands, the more credibility of this victory will be. After reporting the good news to the war zone, it is easier for the superiors to believe that there are not so many messy troubles!
