Chapter 297: Commander's Pressure (Second Update!) )
As soon as Zhou Liang left, Li Hao stopped Hong Linfeng, who was also planning to leave.
"Lao Hong, the garrison platoon and the weapons and ammunition we captured from the Watanabe Brigade are still here!"
"It's still there!" Hong Linfeng replied!
"The troops are too busy, I plan to start sending them to the secret camp tomorrow!"
Li Hao nodded, thought for a while, and continued to ask, "How many mules and horses did we bring back!" ”
"Except for the artillery platoon, there are still thirty-two horses in the station!" A trace of incomprehension quickly flashed on Hong Linfeng's face, and he didn't understand why Li Hao suddenly pulled up the logistical burden that had nothing to do with the topic just now, but he still answered quickly.
"That's pretty much enough!" Li Hao affirmed.
Then he began to give orders and explained the doubts in Hong Linfeng's heart.
"Get the garrison platoon ready, I'm going to let them go to the military division, and we'll leave tonight!"
"Thirty-two mules and horses are also ready, each mule and horse is loaded with five boxes of six-five-caliber bullets, a total of 10,000 rounds, Lao Hong, you take one hundred boxes of 200,000 bullets from the capture, and use twenty mules and horses to transport them!"
"Heavy machine gun ammunition can also carry five boxes per mule and horse, a total of 7,500 rounds, you prepare twenty boxes of 30,000 rounds, and use four mules and horses to transport them!"
"Prepare another thirty boxes of three hundred mortar shells, transported by six mules and horses!"
"Two mules, horses, camel weapons left, two mortars, five crooked handles, fifty rifles!"
"The garrison platoon escorted 32 mules and horses loaded with weapons and ammunition, set off overnight on a small road, marched to the headquarters of the military subdivision, handed over these weapons and ammunition to the commander, and by the way, sent a summary report of our operations during this period to the military subdivision, and asked the military subdivision to appoint a new instructor for our independent company as soon as possible!"
"Dong Xulin is good at political work, but it's a little bit worse to be an instructor and be alone!"
"I mean let him act as an instructor temporarily, and when the real instructor takes office, let him be an assistant instructor and have more experience!"
The seized weapons and ammunition were handed over to the military sub-district, and Hong Linfeng had no opinion at all, and he very much agreed.
But he couldn't understand why the company commander was in such a hurry and didn't wait for the anti-sweep to be completely over before handing it over.
Now the base area is full of little devils, and the garrison platoon, as a positional mobile unit of the independent company except for the guard platoon, will take at least two days to come back.
This means that there will be no mobile troops for two days after the independent connection, and it will be too dangerous if something happens.
immediately reminded: "Company commander, do you want to wait until the end of the anti-sweep before sending it up!" ”
Li Hao didn't know Hong Linfeng's worries, and replied after a long sigh: "We can wait, but the military division can't wait!" ”
"The speed at which the military sub-divisions are expanding their troops is too fast, and the Japanese puppet army is strong. For the ambush battle last night, I can guarantee that the military division will definitely put all the family money on it! ”
"If you win, you can not only replenish all the consumption, but also capture a large number of weapons and ammunition, killing two birds with one stone!"
"However, the goal of the ambush was not yet accomplished, and the troops retreated in a hurry."
"Although he also killed the Thousand Days Puppet Army, it was all exchanged for all his family funds by the military division!"
"Now the family has been hollowed out, and there is no total annihilation of the Japanese puppet army, and no weapons and ammunition have been captured. The pressure on the military division must be very great, and even if there are fighters in front of them, the troops will not dare to fight because they do not have enough ammunition! ”
"Although the military sub-district did not mention this issue in the telegram, the foundation of the military sub-district is there, and you can guess it!"
At the military division headquarters, the atmosphere was very depressing.
Several staff officers were careful to do the work at hand, and then from time to time they glanced at the commander standing in front of the map, and did not dare to say a word.
"I'm going to shoot this battalion commander, if it weren't for his failure to hold his position, and the puppet army suddenly hit the battlefield for more than five hundred days, we would have won the entire ambush battle, and there would have been no hasty retreat at all!" The commander scolded.
This sentence is the fifth time he has said it today, but he is still angry and full of anger.
The chief of staff hesitated for a moment and comforted: "Commander, this battalion commander has already died, he was killed by a devil's cannon, and there is not even a single corpse left!" ”
"Also, I don't think the troops are entirely to blame for not holding their positions!"
"Recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns, and the proportion of recruits in this battalion is too large, almost eighty percent!"
"Although there were not many Japanese puppet troops attacking them, they brought two mountain guns and six mortars!"
"The battalion commander sacrificed, and in the face of the artillery coverage of the little devils, it is a miracle that those recruits can still hold out for an hour!"
"Although there was no total annihilation of the ambush target, after all, nearly 1,000 people were killed and wounded! According to the scout's report, the Japanese puppet army that came over for reinforcements spent the whole day yesterday just cleaning up the battlefield! ”
"Then it took another whole night to cremate the bodies before leaving the battlefield this morning. Nearly three squadrons of five hundred little devils were killed, which is already a big victory! ”
The commander shook his head and replied: "Even if it is a victory, it will be a losing battle!" ”
"Chief of Staff, look at this, I asked the two captains and the logistics department to just sum it up!"
"Because of the hasty retreat, there was no time to clean up the battlefield, and our ambush battle the night before yesterday had nothing to gain except for killing and wounding nearly a thousand puppet soldiers, and not even a single bullet was captured!"
"For the sake of this ambush war, we have pressed down on the family of the military subdivision."
"Now not a single bullet has been seized, do you say it's a loss-making deal!"
"If you look at the data just counted, the logistics department of the entire military sub-division searched and only found 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and it was a mixture of several different calibers. Two hundred grenades, not a single shell! ”
"The First Brigade, the well-deserved main force of our military division, after the successful retreat, there were less than thirty rounds of ammunition and one grenade left in the hands of ordinary soldiers per person."
"The second brigade fights and the ammunition consumes more!"
"There are less than twenty rounds of ammunition left per capita, and only half of the fighters still have grenades!"
"Even if we can still encounter fighters next, this ammunition will not support us to fight with the devils!"
The chief of staff's brows also wrinkled: "This is indeed a big problem!" ”
"And it's a big problem that must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise we will be too passive in the next anti-sweep!"
With that, Command fell silent again.
The two of them stood in front of the map with a frown, meditating and thinking about a solution.
I don't know how long it took, but the excited voice of the guard company commander pulled them back to reality.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, the Lingqiu Independent Company has arrived, and they have brought a lot of ammunition!"
The chief of staff hadn't come back to his senses yet, and asked rhetorically with a frown: "Don't they have a radio station?" And I just sent a telegram to the military sub-district yesterday, and I didn't mention that someone would come, could it be a mistake! ”
The commander reacted a little quicker.
Staring at the guard company commander, he asked, "You just said that the troops sent by the independent company also brought a large amount of ammunition!" ”
"Yes, a platoon of escort troops with thirty-two mules and horses, each of which was hunched with a large amount of weapons and ammunition."
"I specially asked the three platoon commanders who went to the independent company last time to see it, and the platoon commander who led the team knew him, and he must be from the independent company!"
The commander suddenly came to his senses and shouted: "Chief of Staff, I probably understand!" ”
"Independence Company is here to send us charcoal in the snow!"
"There are too many people to contact by telegram, and the base area is full of devils, so it is not safe. So Li Hao didn't know us through the telegram, and directly sent someone over to surprise us! ”
"Thirty-two mules and horses loaded with weapons and ammunition, at least a hundred thousand rounds of ammunition!"
"This is the solution to this big problem we are facing!"
"No, I'm going to see these weapons and ammunition for myself!"
