"Your Excellency Army Commander, in the face of absolute artillery superiority, the troops that counterattack Huaiyuan will definitely be defeated, should we redeploy heavy troops to counterattack Huaiyuan." The deputy chief of staff hesitated to propose.

The commander's head shook like a rattle, and he refused without hesitation.

"We can't transfer troops anymore."

"The garrison regiment has captured a large amount of artillery and ammunition in Huaiyuan, and its morale is high, so it will send people over and add fuel and vinegar to the troops."

"I decided to stay out of the edge for the time being, besiege but not attack."

"Wait for the imperial army to recover its strength, equip the front-line garrison with enough artillery, let the artillery superiority return to the imperial army, and then deal with the garrison."

On the battlefield of Luojiawan, the sound of gunfire has stopped.

The battlefield was littered with corpses and scattered weapons and ammunition......

Inside the headquarters, Hong Linfeng was reporting the results to Li Hao, with a smile on his face.

"Regiment commander, several companies in charge of the encirclement reported that all the Japanese puppet troops who wanted to break through from their defense line were killed, and no one slipped through the net."

"According to preliminary statistics, we killed a total of 558 little devils, 198 puppet soldiers, and captured 101 puppet soldiers."

"Let's not talk about the general infantry machine guns, there are too many of them, they are too miscellaneous, and they are still being counted, and there are five light and heavy machine guns left, four mortars, one infantry gun, and two mountain guns."

"The other artillery pieces were either blown up or damaged, and with the capabilities of our garrison regimental arsenal, at least half of them could be repaired."

"In addition, there are more than 600 shells of various types that have not been blown up."

Li Hao thought for a moment and ordered: "Chief of Staff, in addition to replenishing the battlefield losses of the garrison regiment, all the remaining weapons and ammunition are left to Commander Zhou to form the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment." ”

"The captives were also left for Commander Zhou."

Head Zhou replied embarrassedly: "Head Li, how embarrassing is this." ”

"If it weren't for the garrison regiment gathering so many artillery pieces to participate in the battle, the battle would definitely not have ended so quickly."

"So the garrison group in these captures must take the lion's share!"

Li Hao shook his head and refused: "Commander Zhou, the Huaiyuan Independent Battalion has just been established, and the demand for weapons and ammunition is definitely greater than that of the garrison regiment." ”

"Commander Zhou should know that the garrison regiment has its own arsenal."

"In the three major battles of the left-behind troops fighting guerrillas, Wushanwa and Pingshui Town, more than 10,000 weapons were damaged by the enemy and us, and as long as half of them can be repaired, it will be enough for the garrison regiment to use."

"If the garrison is really short of weapons, I will definitely not ask you to make it bigger, and I will ask for as much as I want."

Commander Zhou thought so: "Okay, then I'll take all these weapons and ammunition." ”

After dividing the spoils, Commander Zhou shifted his gaze to the map in front of him, and analyzed thoughtfully: "Commander Li, after this battle, the troops in the base area of the garrison regiment swept by the devils have been lost, and they have almost lost everything. ”

"I analyze, the Japanese puppet army will definitely not dare to touch the brows of our two regiments again in a short period of time."

"What do you think?"

Li Hao smiled and replied confidently: "If I were the commander of the devil Japanese army, I would definitely order the troops to stand still." ”

"Wushanwa, Pingshui Town, and here, there are a total of three battles, and we all won through artillery raids."

"No matter how stupid the Japanese commander is, he knows that we have a powerful artillery unit in our hands."

"Unless he wants his hard-earned troops to be blown up by our artillery fire again, he will never act rashly."

Hong Linfeng suddenly interrupted: "Commander, Commander Zhou, our situation is far from so good. ”

"It is true that there are more than a hundred mortars in the two regiments, and there are also twenty or thirty mountain artillery and infantry guns, but there are not many shells."

"More than 10,000 shells of various calibers were captured at the Huaiyuan Devils Logistics Base, more than 11,000 rounds were used in the Wushanwa ambush battle, more than 3,000 rounds were used in the encirclement and annihilation battle just now, adding up to 15,000 rounds, plus the consumption of other battlefields, there must be 20,000 rounds."

"Not only did the shells captured by Huaiyuan run out, but the captures on several battlefields were also almost used."

"I roughly counted the remaining mortar shells to an average of less than 50 rounds each, and the mountain artillery has a little more left because of the slow rate of fire, but each cannon can only average to 80 rounds."

"It only takes a medium-sized battle for these shells to be depleted."

"As for the arsenal, because of the blockade by the Japanese puppet army, many raw materials for the production of artillery shells can only be supplied in small quantities, so the output of artillery shells has not been able to increase until the blockade is lifted, and the monthly output is only 1,200 rounds, 900 rounds of 81 mm caliber mortar shells, and 400 rounds of 120 mm large-caliber mortar shells."

"On average, every mortar is only ten rounds, and it doesn't hit at all."

Head Zhou's expression immediately became solemn.

It's as if the Japanese puppet army may send heavy troops to kill them at any time, and they are worried.

Li Hao was not affected, and looked at the two of them and replied with confidence.

"Chief of Staff rest assured."

"There are not enough shells in the troops, only a few of us know about it, and the devils don't know it."

"In their eyes, we have seized a large number of weapons and ammunition in Huaiyuan."

"Wushanwa, Pingshui Town, and here, countless weapons and ammunition have also been seized."

"As for how much ammunition was used in a few battles, only a few of us know."

"With the devil's understanding of us, he definitely doesn't believe that we used up more than 20,000 shells in a few battles."

"Because with the combat style of our Eighth Route Army, even if there are artillery shells, they will save some use, and they will not fight such a luxurious battle."

"Yes, Commander Li is right, the devil doesn't know that we ran out of shells!" Head Zhou immediately agreed.

"The devil's losses in this sweep are already big enough, and they definitely don't have the courage to risk a few thousand more people, so they will definitely stand still and accumulate strength, at least they will be equipped with more artillery than us and a larger caliber before attacking."

Li Hao said: "Don't worry about this problem anymore, there will definitely be no devils to provoke us again in a short period of time." ”

"Even if the Devil Commander wants to, I'm going to fight back his idea."

After two months of getting along with Li Hao, Regiment Commander Zhou also became as excited as the cadres of the garrison regiment, when he heard the word war.

In addition, he is now the head of the Huaiyuan base area, and he has guns, cannons, and ammunition in his hands, so he has more confidence to want to fight.

Looking at Li Hao, he asked eagerly, "Captain Li, how can you fight back." ”

"Three steps!" In the face of this neighbor who shares life and death, Li Hao did not hide it.

"The first step: to replenish the troops with the prisoners in the shortest possible time, to put up all the shelves of the main forces and local troops, and to complete all the weapons and ammunition."

"The second step is to sweep away the Japanese puppet army in the no-man's land."

"If a large stronghold cannot be defeated, we can hit a small and medium-sized stronghold and take down the target of attack at the lowest cost, so that we can not only train our troops and restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, but also seize our small number of weapons and ammunition, and then hoard them to increase the future combat potential of the troops."

"The third step is to open up the communication channel between the garrison regiment and the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment and the Laishui Independent Regiment."

"The three troops are each other's horns and cover each other, and if the devils want to attack, we must also weigh it carefully."
