When the 1st and 3rd regiments of the independent division joined up with the 13th Army. General Zhang Xuezhong asked straight to the point: "Is this battle report you sent true?"

Song Lei and Chen Yunzhang looked at each other and saluted, and then said affirmatively: "The battle report is true, the first and third regiments of our independent division were ordered to block the third division of the Japanese army for an hour and a half, destroying more than 1,300 enemies, and another special operations team raided the Japanese heavy artillery brigade. Gain the results of the total annihilation of the heavy artillery brigade. ”

After hearing this, the commander of the 89th Division laughed: "No wonder I didn't see the heavy fire support of the devil just now, it turned out that it was knocked out by you, it's not simple, it's not simple!"

Zhang Xuezhong was also interested and asked, "Which team is the special operations team, and who is the commander?"

Zhou Min, who had changed into the uniform of the national army, saluted Zhang Xuezhong with a military salute. Then he said: "Zhou Min, captain of the Special Operations Brigade of the Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army, has met your commanders. ”

These leaders of the 13th Army were a little surprised when they saw that it was a female baby.

The chief of staff of the 13th Army whispered in Zhang Xuezhong's ear: "This Zhou Min is the sister of Zhou Tao, the commander of the independent division, and the one who was personally awarded the medal by the old man last year. ”

After being reminded by the chief of staff, Zhang Xuezhong suddenly realized.

After carefully looking at Zhou Min, seeing that there was still blood on her face and the ashes left by the explosion, she praised it: "There is no vanity under the fame, Captain Zhou, you have made a great contribution." Tell me how many of you have taken the devil's heavy artillery brigade?"

Zhou Min said in a positive voice: "Report to the commander, 15 people." ”

"15 people?" Zhang Xuezhong's unconsciously raised voice showed his great surprise, and the high-level leaders of the 13th Army also looked at each other, a little incredulous. In their opinion, the devil's heavy artillery brigade is protected by infantry, and if the raid is successful, at least a reinforced battalion is needed, and the devil is taken by surprise, how can there be only 15 people?

Chief of Staff Wang of the 13th Army couldn't help but ask: "How can you 15 people be able to destroy the devil's heavy artillery brigade?"

The corners of Zhou Min's mouth raised slightly: "The humble duty is responsible for harassing the third division, killing a total of 31 officers on the road, blowing up a stone bridge on the road that the devil must pass, and eliminating 52 people from the devil's bridge guarding team, because the bridge is destroyed, the devil's heavy artillery brigade can only break away from the main force and detour, the reason why we ended the devil's heavy artillery is pure coincidence." We exploded the devil's shells. A whole cart of howitzer shells, the violent explosion caused all the surrounding artillery to be affected, the explosion lasted for several minutes, and after the explosion, the devil's heavy artillery brigade was gone. ”

When everyone heard this, it suddenly dawned on them that it was an unconventional means. Otherwise, the devil's heavy artillery brigade would be wiped out so easily. For the Third Division, the Heavy Artillery Brigade is a strategic-level team, but I didn't expect it to be so confused.

Zhang Xuezhong laughed: "No matter how the heavy artillery brigade is eliminated, Captain Zhou is a great achievement, and the first regiment and three regiments of your independent division blocked the third division and ensured that the 13th Army encircled the devils is also a great achievement, so I will ask Chief Li for credit for you." ”

After a brief report on the military situation, the men of the independent division returned to the temporary station assigned to them by the 13th Army. It was a relatively large village that was temporarily used by the 13th Army.

Song Lei called a meeting of the officers to count the losses.

Song Lei, Zhao Tiancheng, Chen Yunzhang, Zhou Min, Wan Li, Zhang Ming, 6 people held a meeting in the private house.

Chen Yunzhang's guard, Xiao Li, boiled a pot of hot water and brought it to the six people.

The faces of these officers were not very good, first, they were tired, and second, they suffered heavy losses in this battle.

"I'll report a lump of losses first. Song Lei said in a low voice.

"A regiment lost 1,100 people. 328 people were slightly injured, 156 were seriously injured, and 20 grenadiers were damaged. Two heavy machine guns were damaged, the commander of the first battalion was seriously wounded, the commander of the first company was seriously wounded, the commander of the first company of the second battalion was killed, and the commander of the third company of the third battalion was seriously wounded. ”

Zhao Tiancheng added: "The ammunition we brought this time has been exhausted. The 22 mortar shells were intact, but there was no ammunition. ”

"The three regiments lost 1,276 killed, 570 lightly wounded and 102 seriously wounded. 25 grenadiers were damaged, and two heavy machine guns were damaged. Among the officers, the commander of the third battalion was seriously wounded. The commander of the first and second companies of the third battalion was killed, and the commander of the third company of the first battalion was killed. The entire third battalion was scrapped and was no longer combat-ready. Chen Yunzhang said.

"There are a total of 15 people in the wolf's tooth special operations team, and one Wang Huzi was injured. ”

Zhou Min looked at Wan Lili again, and he said: "The special operations team seriously injured 12 people, lightly injured 23 people, and 5 people died. ”

The losses of the 1st and 3rd regiments of the independent division were still very heavy, and the number of casualties was already more than half. The combat strength of the two regiments was now reduced to only one regiment, which also included the lightly wounded.

"I heard from Chief of Staff Wang of the 13th Army that there will be a big battle in a few days. We are now seriously understaffed, and the main thing is that ammunition must be replenished. Tiancheng, in a while you will apply to the 13th Army for ammunition supplies, the more the better. ”

"Don't worry, the head of the regiment, my old Zhao is too thick-skinned, if he doesn't give me a dead skin, he has to ask for it. ”

"That's all for today's meeting, and I'll report today's losses to the division commander in a moment. Everyone has worked hard, let's rest early. ”

After the meeting, Zhou Min examined Chen Yunzhang's wounds. The position of the deltoid muscle in his left arm was known to knock off half of the flesh.

The bandaging on the battlefield was particularly rough, Zhou Min hurriedly gave him an anti-inflammatory injection and said reproachfully: "Why are you so careless?"

I heard Xiao Li say that you went to control the machine gun, don't you know what your identity is? In case something happens, who will command the three regiments, and do you understand how to plan their politics in their positions?"

Listening to Zhou Min's concerned reproach, Chen Yunzhang smiled: "At that time, the situation was critical, and the devil was about to attack, and that firepower point could not be lost." ”

"Alright, you should rest early, maybe there will be a fierce battle tomorrow. ”

"Don't you have a goodnight kiss?"

Zhou Min saw that he was injured and kissed him like a dragonfly, and then said, "Sleep, I'll go see the wounded." ”

When Zhou Min came to the field hospital, he found that it was brightly lit.

It is said to be a field hospital, but in fact a corner of the village is temporarily designated as a hospital area.

There were too many wounded, and only those with minor injuries could be bandaged and let them return to their original units to recuperate, while only those with serious injuries could stay in the hospital for surgery.

Like Chen Yunzhang, whose arm was bitten by a bullet, he didn't need to come at all, just let the medical soldiers in the regiment deal with it.

Yuan Yuan and Chen Yudi did not rest, and the two cooperated with the medical soldiers in the regiment to clean the wounds and bandage the lightly wounded, and then comforted them in a gentle voice.

Now the scene of the field hospital can be described as chaos, everyone's pace is in a hurry, and the nurse in the white coat is either carrying a basin of blood and water, or hurrying into the various rooms with an abrasive cloth and a tray.

At this time, Zhou Min heard a loud commotion.

"Please, please save our company commander, he's going to die. ”

Finally looking for prestige, isn't this a soldier of a regiment and a company of an independent division?

Because he had fought drills with the people of the first company, Zhou Min was very familiar with them.

Then isn't their company commander Han Shantong and Han Laohu?

Zhou Min walked over quickly and asked, "What's the matter?"

When the people of the first company saw that it was Zhou Min, they immediately said emotionally: "Captain Zhou, they bully people." Obviously, we arrived first, but they didn't operate on the company commander, but first operated on a regiment commander, and our company commander was dying. The little soldier said with tears in his eyes and a hint of crying.

Zhou Min looked at Han Shantong on the stretcher, his condition was indeed not good, he was shot in the abdomen, his left thigh was shot, his right leg was shot in the calf, and there was a knife wound in his shoulder, and the wound had been simply bandaged, but in this case, if he did not operate on it, he would lose too much blood for a while, resulting in shock.
