Sangou they took the company as a unit, cleaned up the battlefield in pieces, obtained a large number of weapons and ammunition, and actually had mortar grenadiers These treasures, Sangou said to Niu Gu, hurry up and tell Battalion Commander Hu, these treasures are all kept for their own use, very useful.

In the past, when the devil was defeated, he would generally destroy the ammunition, and the gun would even be smashed, leaving nothing for the opponent.

What's even more surprising is that in the 7th area where Sangou is located, the trenches are well repaired by the devils, and they only need to be deepened, adding drainage ditches and bomb avoidance ditches.

There were actually several Taisho-11-style crooked light machine guns and "chicken neck" 92 heavy machines in the machine gun position, because there was no artillery bombardment by the Chinese army, and these machine guns and ammunition were neatly stacked in the position.

Sangou decided to add a few more machine gun positions, especially the light machine gun positions, to facilitate maneuvering and concealment, the devils have aircraft artillery, and these devils' light and heavy machine guns have to be moved away and hidden first.

Where are they hidden? It's really a smooth and a hundred smooth, the horned fleas immediately found a cave dug by the devil under the hill behind the position (it may also be dug by the 11th Division), although it is not big, but there is no problem with hiding a few machine guns.

Looking at the cave again, it turned out to be the devil's ammunition depot, boxes of unopened rifle machine gun shells, mortar shells, grenadier canister projectiles, I went, Sangou They suddenly had a kind of mentality of becoming a landlord and a fortune, and they made a fortune and made a fortune.

Looking at this holding, it is estimated that it is the position and ammunition depot of the machine gun squadron under the jurisdiction of the Japanese infantry wing, and also includes the mortars equipped by the infantry squadron and the grenadier canisters of the infantry squad.

In the normal division of the Japanese army, the infantry brigade has 92 infantry guns, and the infantry wing has 75 mountain guns and 37 rapid-fire guns, but they are not seen here, and there are not even infantry artillery shells in the cave.

It is estimated that this is not the artillery warehouse of the devils, and the artillery array is definitely not, just look at the fortifications, maybe there are 150 howitzers and heavy artillery in the rear of the devils, there are aircraft bombs in the sky, and there are even super-large caliber naval guns on the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, they may not need these small artillery, they may think, with the guidance of observation balloons, the artillery has long been bombarded by the firepower of the Chinese army, and they have to carry infantry artillery, wouldn't it be cumbersome, not conducive to rapid and mobile strikes against the Chinese army.

……

The division headquarters has an order, and all units report the results of the battle and the capture, and the results of the battle must be reported truthfully.

Niu Gu understood this, so he asked the fourth platoon where Sangou was located not to report the enemy's ammunition depots, light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars and other treasures, only some 38 rifles and fragmentary bullets.

Anyway, there are no precious artillery and tanks that cannot be hidden, and these things are not allowed to be concealed, and must be reported and handed in; It doesn't matter to the team, if these things are given to them, they can't operate them, so it's better to turn them in and count them as results.

Don't say it, there are really tanks, I heard that there are other brother battalions that blew up 5 tanks of the devil, it's amazing, I haven't heard of the devil sending out tanks? I guess it was the brother of which battalion who blew up the tank parked there, right? Unknown.

Later, the division headquarters counted that the Japanese army had killed more than 300 people, killed a squadron leader (Hideyoshi Saburo), and wounded Takeda Wing Captain (I don't know how to count this, it is estimated that it was the one who was injured by the bull). ）

A broken wing, there must be one or two thousand people, and only 300 people were killed, which is indeed average, and it is estimated that in the night, it is not clear to see, and a lot of it has slipped away.

Or, if the captain of the devil's co-captain didn't attack and wasn't injured, and he was in command in Luodian, this battle would be really difficult to fight, and it was hard to say whether he could fight it.

Although only 300 enemies were killed, it was a great victory for the Chinese army, especially the recovery of Luodian, an important military location.

Even with a great victory, the 51st Division, which had the initiative and advantage, was killed by the panicked Japanese army, killing more than 200 people, and killing a battalion commander and a company commander.

However, the first battle was won, and the morale of the whole division of the 51st Division was greatly boosted, and the division commander Wang Yaozu also became famous in one fell swoop and was commended by the Supreme Military Commission.

At that time, the well-known newspapers such as "Declaration" and "Ta Kung Pao" reported on the battle history and outstanding achievements of the 51st Division in a conspicuous position, and also published a large photo of Commander Wang Yaozu.

The "Declaration" article said: The 51st Division's great victory in rejecting the enemy this time has really inspired the hearts of the people of the whole country; this is not the glory of the Chinese, but also the glory of all mankind, and its great achievements will be immortalized!

Yang Muhua, who was originally in Nanjing, saw the newspaper, and was also excited, happy for Sangou, Yang Muhua was so excited that he couldn't sleep, got up in the middle of the night, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, encouraging Sangou to make persistent efforts to kill the enemy.

These are the normal psychology of some ordinary Chinese, looking at the country's army, can win the battle, every countryman, will be happy, national self-esteem and pride arise spontaneously.

A few days later, the Ministry of Military Affairs saw that the 51st Division was so capable of fighting, so it merged a security regiment of the Shaanxi Garrison Brigade into the 51st Division, and arrived at the front line in Shanghai a month later, renamed the 305th Regiment of the 153rd Brigade of the 51st Division, and the regiment commander was Zhang Lingwu, a native of Shaanxi.

At the same time, after the night attack on August 29, the next day, on August 30, the 51st and 58th Divisions were combined into the 74th Army, and the commander was General Yu Jishi and the commander of the 58th Division.

The 51st Division has jurisdiction over the 151st and 153rd Brigades, the commander of the 151st Brigade Zhou Zhidao, the 301st and 302nd regiments, the 153rd Brigade Commander Li Tianxia, the 305th and 306th Regiments, and the 306th Regiment of the 153rd Brigade.

The 58th Division has jurisdiction over the 172nd and 174th Brigades, the commander of the 172nd Brigade He Lingxiao, the 343rd and 344th Regiments, and the 174th Brigade Commander Wu Jiguang has jurisdiction over the 347th and 348th Regiments.

After the establishment of the 74th Army, it immediately assumed the defense between Luodian and Liuhe, with the 51st Division on the left and the 58th Division on the right, controlling the positions on the west bank of the Xinjing River and ensuring that Luodian was in the hands of the national army.

In order to facilitate the operational command of the large corps, the Military Commission compiled a number of new army-level numbers, and the 74th Army was born in the bloody storm, and a new army was born in battle.

Speaking of which, the 51st Division and the 58th Division are no strangers, the predecessor of the 51st Division, the Supplementary First Brigade, cooperated with the 58th Division three years ago when it was "suppressing bandits" in northeastern Jiangxi, and at that time, the Supplementary First Brigade was also assigned to the 58th Division Yu Jishi for a period of time.

Note: Now the two units are together again, this time, they will not be separated when they are together, and they will always fight side by side on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.

……

The sky was white, and when the battlefield was almost over, Sangou sat down tiredly, leaned against the trench wall, took out the combat diary, took out a pen, and prepared to record the wonderful combat process last night.

But I found that my hand was still a little uncontrollable, so I had to simply record the battle:

Twenty-ninth day of the eighth month of the twenty-sixth year

It's night. Our unit was led by Hu Hao, commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 306th Regiment, and attacked Luodian at night; After our troops crawled forward and approached the Japanese position, they suddenly jumped up and threw grenades to attack the enemy camp, taking advantage of the enemy's confusion to shoot and shoot at them, and after engaging in close combat, they killed the enemy with bayonets.

When the enemy organized a counterattack force, our troops quickly retreated as planned, lured the enemy into pursuit, and after our troops retreated to the predetermined ambush circle, all our regiments opened fire and attacked, and our troops turned around and pursued the remnants of the enemy.

This battle was the first battle of our anti-Japanese war......
