Chapter 771: Sweeping the Remnants of the Enemy
Early the next morning, Zhang Wei received a telegram from Ye Zhenhua, commander of the third battalion.
When the battle was at its most intense, the regimental headquarters and the first battalion, as well as the second battalion and the third battalion, were besieged at the same time, and Ye Zhenhua's third battalion, with a regimental engineer company and a baggage company, carried a large number of baggage, and defended in a village ten miles away from Youcun, where the second battalion was stationed.
The number of bandits besieging them was much greater than that of the second battalion, and the bandits' nose was sharp, and they found a large amount of baggage and supplies in the marching column of the third battalion, and launched a fierce attack on the third battalion under the pretense of robbing things.
Although the bandits fought fiercely, but did not succeed, the village guarded by the third battalion did not lose an inch of land, the third battalion and the regimental engineering company resisted desperately, and the soldiers of the regimental baggage company also participated in the battle, blocking the besieging bandits outside the village, the battle was fought to the end, the attacking bandits because they could not gnaw down the position, a large amount of blood loss, the offensive force was weak, He Jinhai's engineer company took the initiative to launch a counterattack, the third battalion also transferred an infantry company out of the village, and the men and horses of the two companies launched a white-knuckle charge counterattack against the bandits, The bandits, who had been depleted in the attack on the village, could not withstand the counterattack of the two companies, and the whole army that had been beaten was scattered.
The third battalion ended one or two hours later than the Huangcun side, and Ye Zhenhua, the commander of the third battalion, was vigilant all night before sending a telegram to Zhang Wei the next morning, summarizing the results, casualties, and battle situation.
According to Zhang Wei's telegram, the battle form of the third battalion is roughly the same as that of the second battalion, the regimental headquarters and the first battalion, all rely on the village for defense, and the process is roughly the same, the bandits are consumed one by one in the village attack, and finally defeated under the active counterattack of the defenders.
The casualties of the three battalions were not large, and the entire infantry battalion, together with the engineer company, suffered less than 100 casualties, and the baggage supplies and ammunition carried were intact.
Early in the morning, Zhang Wei received a telegram that the third battalion was safe and sound, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and his half-hung heart was relieved; by now, the combat situation and the current situation of all the units under the Second Regiment had been made clear, and the losses of the whole regiment were not large, and the combat effectiveness was complete, which could not have been the best result.
Zhang Wei believes that if we want to completely eliminate the bandits and eliminate the bandits, we must try our best to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, at least to knock out his backbone forces, in yesterday's battle, the regimental headquarters, the first battalion and the second battalion joined forces to kill more than 2,000 bandits, and more than 1,000 remnants of the enemy ran in the direction of Jiangjiadian in the north, completely abolish them, and it is estimated that the junction of Guangxi and Hunan will be able to have a peaceful birthday.
……
Yesterday evening, Zhang Wei ordered the execution of more than 300 bandit prisoners, concentrated, slaughtered prisoners in batches, Zhang Wei This is the first time, but the officers and soldiers did not react, because the bandits once killed the soldiers of the supplementary second regiment during the training of the second regiment, the officers and soldiers felt very relieved, and the slaughter was good.
Outside Huangcun, the soldiers of the first and second battalions rested for the night, relieved the fatigue of the battle, ate a hot breakfast, and were digging a pit outside the village, concentrating on the corpses of the bandits.
There were more than 2,000 corpses on the battlefield that needed to be buried, and yesterday, not only the prisoners were killed, but not only the light and serious wounded soldiers left behind by the bandits on the battlefield were not spared, and all of them were sent to the western sky with bayonets.
Burying more than 2,000 corpses is not a small project, the first battalion commander Qiu Wei and the second battalion commander Mu Chao personally led their soldiers to dig pits and bury them, and there were a lot of trivial matters, and by the way, they had to dispose of the captured bandit weapons, and the artillery and usable guns were selected and left, and the bullets and grenades that could be used were also left, and they went back to hand in as seizures.
……
"The casualties of the regiment commander, the regimental headquarters and the first battalion are as follows: the first battalion lost sixty-nine people killed and eighty-five were lightly and seriously wounded, and the regimental special service platoon, eight people were killed and twenty wounded in the handymen who temporarily supplemented the position."
In the regimental headquarters of Huangcun, Zheng Yiqun, attached to the regiment, reported to Zhang Wei the casualties of the first battalion and the regimental headquarters counted overnight, as far as the exchange ratio is concerned, the casualties of the first battalion and the regimental headquarters are not lost, and the main casualties in the battle appeared in the later stage, especially in the north of the village.
The casualties of the first battalion were slightly larger than the second company of the first battalion garrisoned north of the village, and the casualties of the other two infantry companies were not many, and the combat effectiveness and vitality of the entire battalion were particularly high.
Zhang Wei was eating a hot breakfast while listening to the report, he had fought for almost a day yesterday, and his stomach was empty, and it was really comfortable to drink a mouthful of hot rice porridge in the morning.
Zhang Wei swallowed a mouthful of rice porridge and said, "What is the situation with the part of the third and second battalions that did not come now?" ”
Zheng Yiqun shook his head.
"No, the battalion of the second battalion is attached to the wounded soldiers of the second battalion, the mortar platoon is carrying heavy baggage in Youcun, everything is normal, and the third battalion is still on standby in the old place, saying that it can be reinforced in the direction of Huangcun at any time."
"Send a telegram to the second battalion, order the second battalion not to move, just guard the place, and the third battalion is the same, tell Ye Zhenhua that with the third battalion, the engineer company and the baggage company stay in place, take care of the baggage, and there is no need for support here." Zhang Wei said.
"How do you fight the bandits who fled in the direction of Jiang's shop?"
"With the main force of the first battalion and the second battalion at hand now, it is enough, and when Qiu Wei and Mu Chao finish cleaning the battlefield, they will immediately attack, and it will not take too many troops to sweep away the remnants of the enemy, so that the first battalion will search in the direction of Jiangjiadian in the north, and occupy Jiangjiadian, the only village in front of Huangcun is Jiangjiadian, the bandits have no food and no ammunition, and nine times out of ten they will gather there, if they find the bandits scattered along the way, try to solve them, Mu Chao's second battalion will stay near the regiment headquarters, obey the orders of the regiment headquarters, and reinforce a battalion in the direction of Jiangjiadian at any time."
Zhang Wei drank porridge, with dried vegetables, and lightly issued an order to sweep away the remnants of the enemy, the main force of the bandits has been annihilated, and now there is only the matter of sweeping the remnants of the enemy, and more than 1,000 defeated bandits can't make any splashes, so Zhang Wei's tactical deployment is very simple, let the first battalion enter and occupy the Jiangjiadian in front, and if the bandits are found, they will fight, and the second battalion will support at any time, and use a long drive to attack closely, and finish this last clearing battle.
