In the mountains, fifteen kilometers away from the battlefield, nearly 2,000 soldiers sat on the ground, some gnawing on dry food, others resting, and replenishing the physical strength consumed last night.

Right in the middle of the crowd, the guards surrounded a clearing so tightly that no one was allowed to approach.

The commander-in-chief Li Hao, the deputy commander Zhou, and the chiefs of staff of the two regiments sat around a map, very happy, with smiles on their faces.

Chief of Staff Hong Linfeng took out a statistical list and spoke first: "Regiment Commander, Regiment Commander Zhou, all the results of last night's battle have been counted. We killed a total of 1,709 little devils, including one lieutenant, one lieutenant, and eight lieutenants......"

"Six mountain guns, one infantry gun, 9 mortars, 8 heavy machine guns, 19 light machine guns, and 986 rifles were captured......"

"There is a lot of ammunition, minus the troops replenished on the battlefield, there are nearly 1,000 rounds of various artillery shells, 20,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, 450,000 rounds of rifle machine gun bullets, and more than 3,000 grenades, all of which are loaded on the carts of the baggage brigade, as well as grain, canned food, and a full 15 carts."

Li Hao's expression was unfazed.

Such seizures are all too common in separate regiments, there is no need to make a fuss.

Regiment Commander Zhou and Chief of Staff Chen were stunned, these captures were used well, and it was completely possible to form another main force regiment.

The independent regiment has already been equipped with a cavalry company, and it must not be able to look at other equipment and take advantage of everything, and hurriedly said.

"Commander Li, the independent regiment has taken a big advantage in this battle, you pick those captured first, you can take whatever you like, and the rest are from the independent regiment, I don't have any opinion."

Li Hao didn't answer immediately, looked at Hong Linfeng and asked.

"Chief of Staff, are our losses great?"

Hong Linfeng took out another list and introduced: "Rest assured, the regiment commander, the casualties are within the tolerance of the garrison regiment. A total of 129 fighters were sacrificed, 21 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, and the others were either intact or slightly injured, which did not affect combat effectiveness. ”

"Armament lost three mortars, two heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, 129 rifles."

Hearing this, a bold distribution plan had already appeared in Li Hao's mind, and he looked at Captain Zhou to answer.

"Before returning to the base area, the garrison regiment will definitely not be able to make up for the loss of troops. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, it was possible to compensate for the loss of combat effectiveness of the companies only by increasing firepower. ”

"I want six heavy machine guns, two to supplement the battle damage, and the remaining four to supplement one for each company, and increase the number of heavy machine guns equipped with each fire platoon from two to three."

"I want five mortars, three to make up for battle damage, and one for each of the two fire batteries to reach four"

"I want two mountain artillery, and one more for each of the two fire companies."

"After the infantry machine guns make up for the battle damage, each company will add three more light machine guns to ensure that each infantry squad can get one."

"The number of grenadiers in each company has also been increased to three."

"That's all for the time being, all the remaining weapons and equipment belong to the independent regiment."

Head Zhou was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

According to this distribution plan, although the garrison regiment took most of the heavy machine guns and mortars, more than half of the mountain guns and rifle machine guns remained.

Separate regiments of mortars and heavy machine guns are already well equipped, and any more will become a burden.

There was not a single independent mountain artillery regiment, and Li Hao left a full four, plus infantry artillery, which was enough for the independent regiment to form an artillery company......

In this way, the independent regiment took advantage of the garrison regiment.

Looking at Li Hao, he looked disbelieving and asked, "Commander Li, is there really only so much in the garrison regiment?" Don't want other weapons and ammunition? ”

Li Hao shook his head and replied very affirmatively: "Enough!" The remaining weapons, ammunition and supplies were left for the independent regiment to form a new unit. ”

"You are operating under the noses of the Japanese army, you are under great pressure, and you do not have enough supplies, weapons and ammunition reserves, so it is easy to suffer big losses."

"And this battle is not over yet, there is really something missing, it's a big deal that we will seize it from the devils again."

"Weng Hum ......"

The roar of the plane suddenly reached everyone's ears, and from far to near, the sound became louder and louder.

"Order the troops to do a good job of concealment, it's a devil plane, it will definitely come to us." Li Hao's face immediately returned to seriousness, and he ordered loudly.

The plane flew over everyone's heads against the hill and then slowly disappeared.

The troops are well concealed, and the planes have nothing to gain here.

As soon as the plane left, everyone became relaxed.

They all thought it was safe and the plane wouldn't come a second time.

But it backfired, and two hours later, the roar of a huge plane sounded in everyone's ears again.

At the same time, the radio station equipped by the garrison regiment also turned on a red light.

Within a few minutes, Zhou Liang came over and reported: "Regiment commander, the commando team sent an urgent telegram: After the devil reinforcements arrived at the battlefield, an infantry squadron suddenly divided its troops and went into the mountains to search for us as a combat detachment. ”

"They also reported that there were at least three imp planes operating above us."

As soon as the voice ended, the red light of the radio began to flash again.

Zhou Liang hurriedly handed the telegram to Hong Linfeng, hurriedly returned to the radio station to receive the new message, and reported after finishing: "Regiment commander, this is a piece of information forwarded to us by the political commissar, the Japanese puppet army around Laishui was all under martial law early this morning, and the reconnaissance troops and intelligence personnel all left the stronghold and the county town to look for?" ”

"They're looking for us!" Li Hao made a judgment on the spot.

"We?" Head Zhou asked puzzled.

"Isn't the purpose of the devil to counterattack Laishui? What's the use of spending so much money on us. ”

"Won't the devil find us, so we won't counterattack Laishui?"

"It's possible!" Li Hao seemed to have thought of something, and looked thoughtful.

Soon a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "I think I probably understand the devil's thoughts. ”

"Last night, we killed more than 1,700 devils in two consecutive battles, which must have scared the Japanese troops in the assembly area."

"If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would not have dug out this strong enemy and killed it, and I would not dare to rashly attack Laishui and expose my entire back without reservation."

"This is definitely a surprise, Captain Zhou, we should seize this opportunity."

"Since the Japanese army dug three feet into the ground and wanted to find out us, they would solve the problem first and then attack Laishui. We can completely plan and turn this place into a battlefield, and deal with devils in enemy-occupied areas. ”

"The rest of the Independent Regiment took the opportunity to form an anti-Japanese base in Laishui and develop underground armed forces."

"When the Japanese army reacts and wants to counterattack Laishui."

"Except for Laishui County, all the other places are controlled by us, and the devils can't take it back."

Head Zhou also understood, and very much agreed with Li Hao's proposal, and replied happily: "That's really the case!" ”

"Commander Li, there is no doubt about your command ability, I trust your judgment, we will fight as you say."
