Chapter 464: Reaping the Fruits of the Battle (First Update!) )
At the military division headquarters, the commander stayed at the headquarters all night without sleeping, and his eyes glanced at the telecommunications room next to him from time to time.
Disappointingly, there was no news from the telecommunications room until dawn!
"Commander, will something happen to the independent battalion!" Looking at the already bright sky outside, the chief of staff couldn't help but remind him with a frown.
A hint of hesitation flashed across the commander's face, but he quickly regained his firmness.
Shaking his head and replying: "I believe in the independent battalion, I believe in Comrade Li Hao!"
"In the telegram sent to us by the independent battalion yesterday, it was very clear that he was absolutely seventy percent sure of the battle last night, let us rest assured!"
"Don't worry, let's wait a little longer!"
"Two hours later, if they haven't sent a telegram yet, we'll send a telegram!"
After finally surviving an hour, the chief of staff couldn't help it again.
Walking back and forth in the command headquarters with his hands behind his back, he used it to vent his inner tension and anxiety.
"Chief, telegram!"
The voice of the communications staff officer finally sounded in the nearby telecommunications room, and for the first time the commander heard his voice so pleasant and enjoyable.
With a telegram in his hand, he rushed out of the telegraph room and rushed towards the commander, shouting as he went: "Great victory...... Commander, a great victory for the independent battalion! ”
"This is a good news jointly sent by Comrade Li Hao, commander of the independent battalion, and battalion commander Peng of the reinforcement unit: The telegram said that after a night of hard fighting, the Japanese puppet army has killed not a single unit in the base area, and all of them have been wiped out!"
"We won the sweep of the Lingqiu Japanese puppet army against the independent battalion, and the troops are counting the results and losses, but one thing can be confirmed, the commander of the little devils in Lingqiu County, Watanabe Shaosa, was also killed by them!"
"The Japanese puppet army was wiped out, and the old devil Watanabe was also dead, how could it be?" The chief of staff was stunned by the news and didn't react for a long time!
The commander should be calm, and after quickly scanning the telegram handed over by the communications staff officer, the tension and anxiety in his heart were completely relaxed.
Exclaimed, "It's true." The telegram was sent jointly by Li Hao and Peng Yunfeng, and there will definitely be no fake! ”
"Chief of Staff, you immediately call back to the independent battalion and ask them to report the specific results and losses, as well as the entire battle process, I will report to the military region and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Although the scale of this anti-sweeping battle is not large, it has touched the hearts of all the heads of the military region and the headquarters, and the sooner this good news is reported, the sooner they will feel at ease!"
In Lingqiu Li Tian Village, the two devil planes that dropped all the bombs have been gone for nearly half an hour.
Nearly 2,000 people from the independent battalion, the first battalion, and the local guerrillas poured into the village to put out the fire and rescue the weapons and ammunition that had not yet been blown up.
As time passed, all kinds of weapons and ammunition began to be dug out of the rubble and sent to the forest outside the village!
"Battalion commander, four mountain guns were blown up, one was damaged, and the remaining three were intact!" Yuan Qingfeng, the commander of the mountain artillery company, shouted excitedly when he rushed out of the village.
After the troops could enter the village, Yuan Qingfeng didn't care about anything, and went straight to the mountain artillery position of the Japanese puppet army with dozens of gunners, and forcibly pulled a few mountain guns out of the ruins with both hands.
Hearing that there were three mountain cannons that could be used, Li Hao also had a smile on his face!
Last night was the first time that the mountain artillery company participated in the battle, and the powerful power of the mountain artillery had already impressed Li Hao!
A single shell destroys the normally indestructible armored vehicle......
A single shell destroys the earthen and masonry walls that ordinary mortars and light and heavy machine guns can't handle......
These battlefield scenes were brought to me by the six mountain guns.
If there was no mountain artillery company, last night's combat unit would never have won so quickly, and the casualties were so small!
Now, Li Hao likes this kind of artillery that can not only attack fortifications, but also cover the enemy with artillery fire, and has a long range, great power, and is easy to transfer, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, and he can't wait to install two guns for each company.
He immediately replied: "Those blown up mountain cannons can't be wasted, bring them all back, and not a single part can be lost!"
"After I go back, I will organize the gunners to disassemble the destroyed mountain guns, eat it thoroughly, and see if I can assemble a new one with those destroyed mountain gun parts, and if not, keep those parts for backup, just in case!"
"The mountain cannon equipped by the little devil is standardized, the specifications are unified, and every part can be used, disassemble them all, and then reassemble them, do you understand?"
Yuan Qingfeng reacted immediately, his eyes lit up and shouted: "I understand, now arrange for everyone to ship all the parts back!"
"There are two mountain cannons inside, only a few parts have been destroyed, maybe one can be repaired!"
As soon as Yuan Qingfeng left, Hong Linfeng rushed over, his face full of heartache!
"Battalion commander, the battlefield has been almost cleaned, and the situation is very bad!"
"Although there are only more than 1,000 puppet troops in the village, in the past few days, we have used guerrilla warfare to kill hundreds of puppet troops in it, and there are at least 1,500 rifles alone, and the number of equipment is far more than we judged at the beginning!"
"But this battle was fought too hard, when we attacked, mountain artillery and mortars were used, and just now the two planes came and blew up again, and many weapons were destroyed. Together with the rifles we brought out in the previous retreat, all the rifles that were ready to use in good condition added up to only 700, and at least 800 were damaged! ”
"Only 15 intact light machine guns were found, 3 heavy machine guns were found, 3 mortars were found, and all the rest were destroyed."
"According to preliminary estimates, there will be no less than 20 light machine guns blown up, no less than 5 heavy machine guns, and no less than 5 mortars!"
"The only thing that makes us happy is that before the devil plane came to bomb, we found several temporary ammunition depots scattered in the village by the Japanese puppet army, and the soldiers used the last ten minutes before the retreat to carry out all the ammunition that was easy to be detonated, so very little ammunition was destroyed, and almost all of them were captured by us!"
"There are a total of 89 boxes of mountain artillery shells, almost four hundred and fifty rounds!"
"38 boxes of mortar shells, 380 rounds. A total of 126 boxes of light and heavy machine gun bullets, grenades, and grenades for grenades were captured from the Japanese puppet army, and the total number must have exceeded 250,000 rounds. ”
Li Hao's face involuntarily flashed with a touch of heartache, but soon his face regained calm, and then ordered: "I just gave Yuan Qingfeng an order: even if the weapon is destroyed, it must be brought back completely, and not a single part can be left behind."
"Those weapons that were blown up are not scrap metal, as long as we find a way, we can definitely turn those destroyed weapons into new guns."
"So I gave you the same order, all the weapons that were blown up, even a single part, must be found and brought back!"
"I'm going to use these damaged weapons to set up a weapons repair shop to repair them."
"With so many damaged weapons, as long as we can repair half of them, then we will make a lot of money!"
"There are also bullet casings, more than a thousand days of puppet troops, stubbornly resisted us for one night, I estimate that they used up at least 100,000 rounds of ammunition last night!"
"So many bullet shells, even if they are all melted into copper, it will be thousands of catties, if we have the technology of reloading bullets in the future, it will be more than 100,000 bullets, and we must not let them be buried in the ground and rust!"
"Order the troops to search all the villages, find all the bullet casings, and we will also take them away, including the bullet casings from our own shooting!"
"In addition, after the battle is over, we will also set a rule in the base area and mobilize all the people to find bullet casings for us. As long as we find five catties of bullet shells, we can find troops to exchange them for a catty of white noodles, and we must hoard all the bullet shells within the base area, so as not to have no raw materials when we have the ability to reload bullets! ”
Li Hao thought about it for a long time, and there were many things that Hong Linfeng didn't understand.
But he knew that Li Hao would never be untargeted, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, battalion commander, I'll arrange it now, ensure that not a single bullet casing falls, and pick them all back!"
