Chapter 406: Fiasco (Second Update!) )
More than twenty cavalrymen quickly dispersed, and more than a dozen cavalrymen jumped off their horses, rifles in their hands, their eyes widened, and they looked around vigilantly.
The rest of the cavalry continued to ride on their horses, looking around with the same vigilance to prevent accidents.
"God help me!" Li Hao hid on the mountainside and shouted excitedly.
"If the devils are gathered together, even if they are attacked by the reconnaissance platoon at close range, it is possible to concentrate their forces and escape!"
"Now that the forces are so scattered, the reconnaissance platoon can completely break through each of them, kill them before they assemble, and don't give them a chance to escape!"
"Bang ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out.
The leader of the cavalry squad on his horse fell to the ground at the sound, and the first one was killed.
The other devils were shocked, and before they could react, gunshots like bursting beans rang out around them.
The devils on the horses were the first to be attacked, and they all fell off their horses in the blink of an eye.
The devils on guard around wanted to fight back at first, but after seeing more and more people killed, their first reaction subconsciously was to climb on the war horse and flee for their lives.
It's very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it's no match for bullets.
From the first gunshot rang out, more than twenty devils died in less than a minute.
"Immediately gather the equipment on the war horse and the little devil, and we will retreat!" Li Hao ordered decisively, with a smile on his face.
More than forty war horses, although the independent battalion is now wealthy, is still a big gain.
"Buzz ......"
As soon as he led the war horse into the forest, a faint roar came from the edge of the sky.
Li Hao's face suddenly turned pale, and he exclaimed: "It's a little devil plane, this must be a secret trick by Watanabe to deal with us." Thankfully, we retreated in time, otherwise we would have all been killed on the battlefield by planes! ”
After glancing at the denser and denser forests around him, Li Hao was still not at ease, and continued to order: "The troops are divided into squads, and they will be dispersed and concealed immediately!" ”
"Although we are in the woods, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents!"
"After the troops are dispersed, even if the bombs dropped by the planes hit us, the losses of the troops will be minimized!"
The Japanese garrison headquarters in Lingqiu City, reinforcements and the Imperial Allied Army protecting along the way have already advanced to the city in half an hour.
But Watanabe Shaosa couldn't be happy at all!
For the sake of these reinforcements, their own losses were too great, and in terms of casualty figures, they were even a little too much to lose.
The adjutant had been standing next to him for almost ten minutes, holding the data on casualties and losses of the troops in his hand to report, but every time the words reached his mouth, he swallowed them back.
On the surface, Watanabe just kept a calm face and didn't say a word.
But the adjutant knew that the captain at this moment was like a powder keg, and any spark could ignite this powder keg and then explode.
The adjutant didn't want to be this Mars, and vented all the anger that the captain had held back on himself.
Whatever you're afraid of, it's just coming.
Watanabe suddenly broke the oppressive atmosphere of the command and stared at the adjutant and asked.
"Tell me, how many casualties the troops had!"
"Hey!"
The adjutant couldn't escape even if he wanted to escape at this time, so he could only answer stiffly.
"Last night, the four-way attack force and the herald lost a total of 338 people, all of whom were the elite of the imperial army, and lost four heavy machine guns and four mortars with heavy weapons!"
"The six companies of the Imperial Association Army along the highway were all wiped out, and a mobile company dispatched during the day was attacked by the Eighth Route Army and was severely damaged!"
"A total of 984 Imperial Allied troops were lost, 118 Imperial troops were lost, six heavy machine guns and six mortars were lost in heavy weapons!"
"The reinforcements lost 114 people to the Imperial Army, including a full cavalry squad!"
"Although there was not much equipment lost, all the horses of a cavalry squad were stolen by the independent battalion!"
"The troops that entered the county just now also have the role of 1,400 members of the Imperial Alliance Army, and more than 600 reinforcements!"
Watanabe asked with a murderous look on his face, "Does this mean that the Imperial Army that entered the city just now can just make up for our battle losses last night?" ”
The adjutant lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Watanabe, and then comforted in a low voice: "We only lost more than 400 imperial troops last night, and there are more than 600 imperial troops entering the city, and there are still more than 200 people left after replenishing the losses!" ”
"In addition, the reinforcements have brought us a large number of heavy weapons, with which our mountain artillery squadron and mortar squadron can be formed again!"
"There is also a detachment of tanks, a total of six tanks, if they are allowed to join the sweeping operation against the independent battalion, even if the independent battalion is equipped with more heavy machine guns and mortars, we don't have to fear them!"
Watanabe's face did not look better, but became more and more solemn, and he scolded.
"Are you taking me for a fool? Isn't the casualty of the Imperial Allied Army a loss? ”
"Don't forget, these Imperial Allied troops were all trained by us, and if we lose two battalions at a time, it will never be possible to restore our combat effectiveness without two months of replenishment and training!"
Seeing that the adjutant lowered his head and didn't speak, and the dozen or so staff officers in the war room were also tiptoeing with a frightened expression, Watanabe calmed down instead!
After forcibly suppressing his anger, he shouted: "Rest assured, I have not been carried away by anger, and I will not kill people to vent my anger!" ”
"We lost this one, and it was a fiasco. But it's not your fault, and if it weren't for the wrong information provided to us by the special forces, we wouldn't have lost so much. ”
"But through this defeat, I also have a new understanding of the independent battalion, it is definitely not as simple as we imagined!"
"If I'm not mistaken, what we know about the independent battalion is still superficial!"
"Even some of the knowledge and understanding are fake, and the independent battalion deliberately released false information to confuse us!"
"Originally, I thought that after the reinforcements arrived, we only needed half a month of integration training to dispatch heavy troops, sweep the independent battalion base area, kill them, and take revenge. Now it seems that before the independent battalion is really figured out, this time for revenge is going to be pushed back again! ”
"At the same time, we ourselves must continue to cultivate our glory and accumulate strength!"
"Order, the command immediately formulates a plan to replenish the troops as soon as possible, and ensure that the imperial army in Lingqiu City has at least five infantry squadrons, a cavalry squadron, a mortar squadron, a heavy machine gun squadron, a mountain artillery squadron, a gendarmerie squadron, and a combat vehicle detachment!"
"Order the Imperial Cooperative Army to immediately recruit troops and make up for the six companies lost. The command redeploys the Imperial Army to the Imperial Allied Army to train and control the troops! ”
"The special forces are guilty this time, and all the officers above the squad are shot! I will contact the general as soon as possible, and draw people directly from the special high school to help us fill up the special team! ”
"From now on, all officers of the Lingqiu Garrison must remember the shame that the independent battalion has brought to us, train the troops well, and wait for us to take revenge in the future!"
At the headquarters of the independent battalion of Hongquan Village, Li Hao had more than 100 people when he set out, and more than 700 people when he returned, and he also brought back a large number of light and heavy weapons.
Before the people walked to the entrance of the village, the instructor Wang Hong came out with Hong Linfeng.
"Battalion commander, how did you do it, I didn't believe it when I first heard the report, but now I believe it, how did you bring back so many prisoners and captures!" As soon as Wang Hong saw Li Hao, he exclaimed excitedly.
"This is still what is left after the seizure of a lot!" Li Hao replied with a smile.
"Several district squads and guerrillas that cooperated with our operations all contributed to it, and when I divided the troops, I equipped all the weapons and ammunition they lacked, and almost divided nearly 400 rifles!"
"Hiss...... So much! ”
Wang Hong gasped and exclaimed.
"Our Eighth Route Army, that is, the battalion commander, you are so generous, and you are equipped with such a good rifle for the guerrillas! But I agree, we were able to take out so many little devils this time, and they did a lot of it! ”
