Chapter 321: Death Without Regrets (First Update!) )
"Sir, the enemy who has infiltrated the garrison has broken through, they have the cooperation of the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army, and the three mountain artillery guns provide artillery support, and under the internal and external attacks, the imperial army blocking them will be annihilated!" The adjutant reported with his head down.
When the last two words are spoken, the sound is very small like the cry of a mosquito.
Captain Shaozuo's red eyes were about to erupt into flames, and he was very angry.
The first reaction of the subconscious was to scold, and even had the urge to kill, but in the end he held back.
He asked with a calm face: "How many Eighth Route Army did we eliminate tonight, and how many soldiers did we suffer casualties!" ”
The adjutant hesitated for a long time before lowering his head and replying: "It is not clear how many Eighth Route Army troops will be eliminated outside the garrison for the time being!" ”
"The troops are mainly defensive, they did not attack, and the results of the battle are not clear!"
"We found a total of 22 corpses of the Eighth Route Army in the garrison, all of them were dressed in imperial army uniforms and mixed into the station, and consumed our troops through sneak attacks and assassinations, which eventually led to the soldiers killing each other in the garrison without distinguishing between you and me!"
"Baga, I don't want to listen to this, I want specific numbers, how many imperial troops we have suffered in less than an hour of fighting!" The angry expression on Shao Zuo's face became thicker and thicker, and he finally couldn't help but curse as he stared at the adjutant.
The adjutant's body trembled subconsciously, and he felt a trace of killing intent from Shao Zuo's order.
Frightened, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "The three squadrons of reinforcements and two artillery squadrons in the garrison have all been attacked by the Eighth Route Army!" ”
"A total of 159 people were killed in the raids and cannibalism, and 46 were seriously wounded and incapacitated. Two artillery squadrons killed 56 people, 11 seriously wounded and incapacitated, and three mortars and a mountain gun were blown up in the attack! ”
"The additional casualties of the five infantry squads and the five squads of the reinforcement force on the periphery of the garrison were 258 people, and one of the infantry squads and the reinforcements of one squad were all wiped out!"
"Nani?"
Shaozo was so frightened that he almost fell directly to the ground.
Forcefully shook off the adjutant who was holding him, forcibly supported his body and scolded: "I don't need to help, I can still hold on!" ”
Then the adjutant who stared at him with an embarrassed face asked: "Is there any error in your statistics just now, we lost more than 500 people in just an hour of firefighting, I don't believe it!" ”
The adjutant replied stubbornly: "The casualty data are all summarized by various squads and squadrons, and there must be nothing wrong!" ”
"Although the exchange of fire between us and the Eighth Route Army was very short, our forces were too scattered, each unit fought separately, there was no way to reinforce each other, and the limited artillery could not provide artillery support to all combat units, and we had to deal with the artillery of the Eighth Route Army!"
"In addition, the firepower of the offensive troops of the Eighth Route Army is not weaker than ours, and we can only rely on the temporary bunkers of the garrison to defend, and there is no perfect defensive position to cause such heavy casualties!"
Captain Shaozo was not satisfied with this explanation, and continued to ask: "This can only explain the casualties of our peripheral combat troops!"
"Moreover, the casualties of the peripheral combat units only account for less than half of the total casualties, and the real casualties are mostly in the garrison!"
"And what makes me most angry is the battle in the station, only twenty-two corpses of the Eighth Route Army were found in the entire station, which means that the Eighth Route Army only used twenty-two people to cause us at least more than 270 casualties!"
"With a casualty ratio of 1 to 13, if such a result is reported, we will definitely become a joke for the whole army, and the military department will know about this defeat and then send us to a military court!"
The adjutant immediately explained: "Sir, the lowly position probably understands how these Eighth Route Army brought us such heavy casualties!" ”
"Our troops are too scattered, and after being attacked by the Eighth Route Army, we can only fight separately, and there are defensive holes between the squads and the squads!"
"These Eighth Route Army are through these loopholes and are wearing imperial army uniforms to infiltrate the station!"
"Because most of the remaining imperial troops in the garrison are supplementary troops, they are not assigned to the formation, and they are very chaotic, and it is difficult to tell the difference between them unless they talk after mixing with our people!"
"These Eighth Route Army are too cunning, using the cover of night to sneak into our station quietly, not to mention, and they also carry a large number of grenades."
"Attacking the imperial army with grenades in the crowd can not only cook quietly and retreat when hit, but also bring a large number of casualties to the imperial army, and even cause panic in the entire station!"
"After the garrison was in chaos, because those supplementary troops were not organized, they could not distinguish between friend and foe, and they were very panicked. The Eighth Route Army took the opportunity to shoot, sow discord, and misunderstand everyone, and then there was an exchange of fire, causing the imperial army to kill each other! ”
Shao Zuo's current mood is very complicated, there is despair, there are scoundrels, there are struggles, and there are pains......
It took a long time before a decision was made: "The troops continue to strengthen their vigilance, wait for dawn to clean up the battlefield, and then report to the brigade headquarters!" ”
"Losing more than 500 imperial troops in an hour, no matter what the reason, this result may send us to a military court!"
"So we must minimize casualties and make up for our guilt on the next march!"
The battle that has just ended can be described as either a night attack or a tough battle.
Several main companies exchanged fire with the little devils for nearly half an hour.
Marksmanship is definitely the capital that the little devils are most proud of, although it is now night, and the Eighth Route Army is in the dark, which will greatly affect their shooting.
But Li Hao was not too optimistic.
So when he made this decision to act, he was ready to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 himself.
One might ask, why fight this battle when this night attack is likely to cost the independent battalion?
Li Hao has his own ideas: there are more than 600 recruits in the three supplementary squadrons, and now they can still fight them as recruits when they are gathered together.
Once they arrived at Lingqiu County, replenishing their troops, and having those battle-hardened veterans with them, their combat effectiveness would definitely increase exponentially.
When the time comes, if the independent battalion wants to kill them, it will not kill a thousand enemies, but lose eight hundred.
but to kill eight hundred enemies, and to lose one thousand. If you're unlucky, the casualties will increase even further!
Compared with the latter, Li Hao is more willing to choose the former!
Even if the independent battalion will lose more than it gains in this night attack, for the sake of the future of the independent battalion and for the sake of this dispersion, Li Hao must also fight this battle.
"Battalion commander, guard company commander Xiao Yuan was ordered to complete the task!" Xiao Yuan, who suddenly rushed over, pulled Li Hao back to reality and reported loudly.
Seeing that Li Hao didn't speak, Xiao Yuan followed closely and reported, but his voice was obviously much more crowded than just now.
"It's just that only eight of the thirty fighters of the commando team rushed out of the devil's station with me!"
"The remaining twenty-two warriors are all killed!"
"But I think their sacrifice is worth it, although there is no specific count of their results, but I am sure that their results must be great."
"When we went in, we brought six grenades, and in the middle, it caused infighting among the little devils and killed each other!"
"Even if a grenade only kills a little devil, plus the casualties caused by the little devil's internal strength. In the whole operation, each soldier who died had at least ten little devils pay for their lives! ”
Li Hao replied with satisfaction: "Not only that, but you also blew up three mortars and one mountain artillery, which is also a great achievement, no less than the credit of killing ten little devils!" ”
"Tonight's night attack, no matter what the result is, your squad is a well-deserved first achievement!"
Li Hao's affirmation is the greatest recognition of their contributions, Xiao Yuan replied with a happy face: "With your words battalion commander, those sacrificed team members died even more without regrets!" ”
"Even if they choose again, I believe they will follow me into the devil's station without any scruples!"
