Chapter 100: After the Defeat (I)
This is the final moment of the decisive victory, in fact, the current situation is already clear between victory and defeat, the devil and the puppet army are unintentional love of war, not to mention that Kato Masaki was shot, life and death are unknown, the enemy on the battlefield is already leaderless, the remaining two squadron leaders are retreating in a panic, and at the same time they have to protect the injured Kato, so now the white-knuckle battle on the battlefield is a one-sided situation, and the Eighth Route Army is morale boosted and unstoppable; And the devils and the puppet army are tired of parrying and just want to withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible.
Shan Erhu is now the rise of killing, with a big knife, majestic, left chop and cut, he is not picky, the devil puppet army does not let go, and does not pay attention to any rules, a few knives can not take the enemy, so he easily pulled out the shell gun to give a shot, so his killing efficiency here is super high, his face and body are already splashed with blood, and even the knife edge is a little curled.
Kato's men and horses finally left hundreds of corpses behind and retreated, retreating while fighting, and the Eighth Route Army did not chase and fight, because the enemy also had a break when retreating, and the overall number still had an advantage.
This battle ended with the victory of the Eighth Route Army, but the casualties on both sides were not small, although it was a victory, it was only a miserable victory!
Zhuang Quan's people also came back one after another, still carrying captured guns and grenades and other things they saw, from the results of the white-knuckle battle, it can be seen that Sheng Jiu's ability to fight in close quarters is quite strong, none of the nine team members were damaged, all of them seemed to be full of ambition, Zhuang Quan's several subordinates had four people were injured to varying degrees, but fortunately they were all slightly injured, only Shan Erhu was the most brilliant, unscathed, killed the most enemies, and even Sheng Jiu's subordinates were also admiring Shan Erhu, Shan Erhu grinned and was very excited!
The only regret is that one of Sheng Jiu's ten team members was unfortunately killed by the enemy's shell, which made everyone sad, and he was ready to be carried back for burial.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are still cleaning up the battlefield, and the victory of a battle is still a great gain for the Eighth Route Army, with hundreds of rifles picked up alone, in addition to four heavy machine guns, eleven crooked handles, and bullet boxes and shells that the enemy did not have time to pull away.
However, at this time, Lu Decheng and Xiao Zhenbei were not happy, although they won, the price paid was too great, Lu Decheng's main force was less than 600 people left, Xiao Zhenbei and his three battalions together are now only more than 300 people, and the guerrillas also suffered nearly 200 casualties......
At the end of the battle, the biggest gain was the spoils of war, and the biggest problem was the wounded, which was the most painful problem in the situation of lack of medical treatment.
"Old Xiao! The casualties this time are still too big! Lu Decheng said heartbrokenly.
"Yes! I didn't expect the devil's artillery fire to be so fierce this time, and more than half of the casualties were caused by these shelling! Xiao Zhenbei also said helplessly.
"Hey! By the way, take me to see your snipers, this time the role of these snipers should not be underestimated, in a sense, they played a key role! How about transferring two snipers to my regiment, I need such snipers so much! At this time, Lu Decheng remembered the sniper who shot the leader of the devil squad and the light and heavy machine gunner.
"Alas! Let's be honest, those are not the soldiers in my battalion, to put it bluntly, they are a group of green forest heroes who occupy the mountains as kings, go and see! But be polite, those people are unruly and undisciplined! Xiao Zhenbei reminded.
"Oh? Not your people? That's better, let them all come to my regiment, and become a regular army, isn't it better than being a bandit? Lu Decheng said confidently.
"Let's go, you'll know when you go, people's equipment conditions are much stronger than ours!" Xiao Zhenbei grinned and said.
At this time, Zhuang Quan and the others were sitting together eating, and there were still some scallion pancakes left in the bag, and now those soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have withdrawn, so although there are not too many, everyone can finally cushion the hunger, Zhuang Quan and they are running around, and Shan Erhu and them have a round of hand-to-hand combat, these are all physical work! After a while, I was hungry, but at this time, everyone's interest was very high, especially Shan Erhu, who was still counting how many devils he had killed while eating!
"Two tigers! Otherwise, if you stay in the Eighth Route Army, there will be battles every day, which is the most suitable for you! "Someone is joking with Shan Erhu.
"What's the line? Where I have to go, I have to follow my brother Quan, whether there is a fight or not is secondary, the key is to have a good fight, chopping melons and vegetables, that is the energy, if you are chased and beaten by others all day long, what is the point? Shan Erhu said with a stalk of his head.
"That's it, I originally wanted to throw eight roads, but now I will follow our boss, well-equipped, good conditions, and fewer people, but flexible, last time our boss overturned a devil's truck with one shot......" Chen Dong, who is usually silent. Now I can blow a few words from time to time, and I have capital in my hands!
At this time, Xiao Zhenbei and Lu Decheng walked over, this time it was clear, at first glance, they were officers of the Eighth Route Army, because they were all pistols, followed by guards.
"Brother Zhuang! Let's take a look at you, this is Comrade Li Decheng, the head of our main regiment! This is Zhuang Quan, Zhuang Da is in charge, young and promising! Xiao Zhenbei introduced the two sides and said.
"Hello!" Zhuang Quan stood up and nodded slightly.
"Huh! Mr. Zhuang, thank you for your support to the Eighth Route Army, you fought so beautifully today! Li Decheng stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhuang Quan.
"Huh! Small things, the head of the national disaster is the responsibility of the husband! Zhuang Quan also reached out and shook hands with Lu Decheng.
"Good! Well said, Mr. Zhuang has a great sense of national righteousness! And I've heard that you're all very skilled green forest heroes! This time, I have seen the important role of snipers, and without your excellent performance, we would have paid even more casualties! Li Decheng was a little surprised, this big boss seems to be very knowledgeable, and he doesn't have the rudeness of ordinary bandits.
"It's over, you're the main force in the war! Come, please sit down and have a bite to eat together! Zhuang Quan pointed to a few large stones that had been temporarily moved.
"Good! You're welcome, I didn't eat just now! Xiao Zhenbei was not polite at all, he picked it up and ate it.
"This is your sniper rifle, I'll see...... Sure enough, it's a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, and from here, it's close at hand! What is the maximum distance you can shoot? Li Decheng's attention was still focused on the sniper rifles. Don't look at the regiment commander, it's the first time he has a sniper rifle in his hand.
"Hmmm! 600 meters of headshots, 1,000 meters of hit the target! Zhuang Quan thought for a while and said.
"A thousand meters? Impossible, right? That trajectory is already an arc! Lu Decheng said with some disbelieving.
"See the chimney on the ruins over there? How many meters? Zhuang Quan looked at the binoculars and asked, pointing to a ruin to the north.
"Hmmm! Almost a kilometer, just a little more! Lu Decheng was still hanging Xiao Zhenbei's telescope, and at this time he also picked up the telescope and looked at it and said.
Zhuang Quan didn't speak again, took his sniper rifle, the face should still be super strong, without saying a word, aimed at the chimney in the distance, and aimed seriously for a while
"Poof!"
There was a slight muffled sound, and a corner was shattered at the top of the chimney opposite.
"This ...... Really hit the target! It's incredible! This is a muffler, right? Although Li Decheng was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but show an expression of amazement!
"Whew! What's the matter, my eldest brother returned the Imperial Association army commander in Fangtong Town to a eunuch from 1,300 meters away! Shan Erhu said with some disdain.
"It's really extraordinary, how about it, Mr. Zhuang, take your people to join our Eighth Route Army, right? We are here to make the most of your role! Standing on the throne is not a long-term solution after all! Lu Decheng said with fiery eyes.
"Huh! Thanks to you, but we are used to being free and casual, or it is more suitable for me to be the king of the mountain, and besides, being a bandit in the past was a harmful party, but now we are specialized in robbing devils, we have no merit, and we have no crime against the common people! Zhuang Quan shook his head and politely declined.
"If you think about it again, it's a pity if you people don't belong to the Eighth Route Army!" Li Decheng still doesn't want to give up.
"Forget it, if I could pull it over, I would have pulled it into my army a long time ago, and I'm still waiting for you to pick up the bargain, hurry up and eat a scallion pancake, it's too late! By the way, return my telescope, which was lent to me by Brother Zhuang! Xiao Zhenbei said while eating.
"There are no snipers in your regiment?" Zhuang Quan suddenly thought of a question.
"Nope! I've always dreamed of having one! Li Decheng shook his head and said regretfully.
"Who shot Kato?" Zhuang Quan asked with some doubts, it was the time when the attack and defense were at their most intense, it was impossible for any soldier to aim at such a distant target, and without a scope of six or seven hundred meters away, he couldn't see clearly.
"Huh? How? Didn't you hit it? Xiao Zhenbei also asked in surprise.
"It's not! I just shot him and dodged one of my shots! Otherwise, Kato would have died by now! Zhuang Quan said with some regret.
Xiao Zhenbei and Lu Decheng also glanced at each other, very puzzled, and didn't know who else was secretly shooting Kato. At this moment, Peng Xiaofang hurriedly ran over, followed by Wei Baobao.
"Battalion commander, go and take a look, there are no more wounded people in the medical center, and there are not enough gauze, bumper tapes and medicines! What should I do? Peng Xiaofang said anxiously.
Wei Baobao still sat down next to Zhuang Quan with a smile, grabbed a scallion pancake and began to eat it violently, he was also tired for the past few hours!
