Chapter 25: Harvest and Casualties

Four days have passed since the battle that took place around the Twin Camel Valley.

···

There is a hidden mountain col five kilometers south of Tutuo Village.

The mountains and forests here are dense, the mountain roads are rugged, it is not easy to walk, and the people are inaccessible.

This is a hidden station of the 733 Independent Regiment, and even in the regiment few people know about it.

Inside the col, under the cover of the outer dense tree branches, a hidden entrance to a northwestern cave-like building looms, and the line of sight enters the cave, and after turning a few doors, there is a warehouse inside.

The warehouse is filled with brand-new wooden boxes printed with Japanese that smells of paint.

Here is the hidden warehouse of the 733 regiment.

At this time, the head of the regiment, Zhang Lianshun, and the deputy head of the regiment, Zhang Nuoyan, were in the warehouse.

The joy in the faces of the two was not concealed at all, especially the head of the regiment, Zhang Lianshun, a mouthful of white teeth exposed, the saliva at the corners of his mouth was about to stay, and he rubbed his hands here and there, and he didn't even notice that his beloved ancestral pipe fell to the ground.

"Haha, Lao Nuo, these are all good things! Good stuff! With these things, save a little use, and the whole regiment will not need to worry about ammunition for the next year."

"I don't know who attacked the devil's convoy before us, so I have to thank them."

"However, that combat power is really..." Recalling the scene at that time, Zhang Lianshun was stunned.

When the attack was launched, he had paid special attention to the casualties of the devils.

The corpses of the devils and the wailing seriously wounded made him frightened at that time, and it was also the confidence that he ordered the whole regiment to charge intensively at that time.

And the statistics after the fact are even more staggering.

Only 22 of the devils fled, leaving behind 168 corpses, and only about 20 of them were killed by their soldiers, and the rest either blew themselves up or were eliminated before they arrived.

They were able to capture all the supplies of the entire convoy of devils, and all the credit goes to the unknown attackers.

If the 190 devils were intact, then even if they pulled up the whole group together, there would be no return, which he had no doubt, especially the last twenty or so devils, whose calm retreat left a deep impression on him.

When they cleaned up the battlefield afterwards, they did not find the bodies of the attackers, but only found a large number of bullet casings on the north side of the pack horse convoy, which he had counted at the time, and there were more than 10,000 shell shell shells there, and although there were traces of explosions, there was not the slightest trace of blood.

So a scene appeared in Zhang Lianshun's mind.

There was a squad of elite soldiers, all armed with repeating shell guns, and a few of them armed with an unknown gun of great power, who lay in ambush on the left side of the road and launched a dense attack on the devils as they passed.

This small group of elite soldiers is all excellent in combat and well-equipped, and it only takes half an hour to kill more than seventy percent of the devils of a full squadron, and in this battle, the casualties of this squad are extremely low.

In the midst of his thoughts, Zhang Lianshun thought of his pistol commando...

Shaking his head and recovering his thoughts, Zhang Lianshun picked up the pipe that fell on the ground, and looked back at Zhang Promise who was filling out the form.

As the person in charge of logistics and material supply in the regiment, this unexpectedly rich capture also made the deputy head Zhang Lianshun breathe a sigh of relief, without the elbow of materials, the 733 Independent Regiment will enter the fast lane of becoming stronger after getting this more than materials.

Closing the form in his hand, Zhang promised to report the warehouse storage plan to the head of the regiment.

"A total of 200,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 713 rifles with 38 large covers, 6,000 grenades, 2 mortars, 153 mortar shells, 20 grenadiers, 20 light machine guns, 10 boxes of gun oil and other military supplies were captured in this operation, and 2 tons of daily necessities such as soap."

"All of the 613 captured rifles have been distributed to the companies, except for 100 that have been left in the warehouse."

"Half of the grenadiers and light machine guns are stored, and the other half is distributed to the various companies"

"150,000 rounds of ammunition are stored, and 50,000 rounds are left in the regiment for daily combat use"

"As for the mortars all in warehouses, we don't have gunners, and no one will use this thing"

“···”

Listening to the report of his deputy head of the regiment, Zhang Lianshun pinched his pipe, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he kept nodding at the same time.

Leaving half and half of it is a strategy that the two have already discussed.

The two have cooperated for almost ten years, from the chief and deputy squad leader to the company commander and then to the current regiment commander, the two have cooperated seamlessly, and there are few conflicts in the big and small affairs of the regiment.

After a big ambush battle, the results were remarkable, and the harvest was even more unexpected, but it also meant that the 733 regiment officially entered the sight of the devils, and the devils would inevitably launch a counterattack against the 733 regiment with heavy troops, and now the combat effectiveness of the 733 regiment is not strong, and it will take a long time for the captured weapons and equipment to be transformed into combat effectiveness.

A machine gun is a fire support point in the hands of a veteran, supporting infantry charges and suppressing local fire points, but in the hands of a new soldier it is just a repeating rifle that can only be heard.

So next, the 733 regiment had a long and difficult time.

"In addition, the casualty report has also been counted" After reporting the seized materials, Zhang Nuoyan paused, his tone changed, and the smile on the corner of Zhang Lianshun's mouth disappeared.

"The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies of the 2nd Battalion suffered small losses, with a total of 60 casualties, of which 37 were killed and 23 were wounded."

"The three companies of the 1st battalion lost 57 killed and 39 wounded"

"The 1st and 2nd Companies of the 1st Battalion lost 312 killed and 15 wounded"

"In this battle, we lost a total of 429 killed and 63 wounded"

Listening to the deeper and deeper voice of his deputy commander, Zhang Lianshun knocked on his pipe, although his old partner had gone through more than ten years of war, he had never been able to let go of the casualties.

"There will always be casualties in war, the gap between us and the devil's weapons and equipment and individual combat effectiveness is too big, and if you want to win, you can only fill it with human lives, and no one can do anything about this."

"With such a big advantage as Pingxingguan, our casualties are at least twice as many as those of the devils."

"We can still bear this casualty, and the Chinese nation can also bear it, but the devil is not necessarily" Saying this, he snorted coldly, and the coldness between his words was fully revealed.

"Well, the Chinese nation is never afraid of casualties" Zhang Nuo, who was encouraged, also shook his tone, and then his tone changed abruptly.

"The devil pursues the spirit of bushido, advocating and the enemy's jade shattering, many of the casualties this time were killed by the devil's wounded, and you should be careful in the face of the devil's wounded in the future, not to mention killing the wounded, at least collect the weapon first"

"Wait, when did you become so cultured, you are all exported"

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, it's not your old promise that you teach well"

"Let's go," and the two of them left the warehouse together.

After leaving a platoon guard, they left the secret warehouse.
