Chapter 50: Cleaning Up the Battlefield Keep going

At the end of the battle, although Zhang Wei and the others completely annihilated the Japanese army, their own casualties were also very large, and some wounded soldiers fell to the ground and wailed in pain. The soldiers could only try to help them, the lightly wounded only needed to be bandaged, and the brothers who were pierced through their internal organs and chests had no choice but to watch them leave.

Zhang Wei can't help it, there is no medical treatment. Qiu Qingquan walked out of the house, covered in blood, and it seemed that he must have fought in person.

"How's it going?" Zhang Wei asked with concern, but Qiu Qingquan did not answer, and asked about the casualties on Zhang Wei's side. The three platoons led by Zhang Wei suffered 50 casualties, and the two platoons led by Qiu Qingquan were even worse, almost all the casualties, and the two platoon commanders were also killed.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Wei asked He Kun to count the captures, there were more than 40 intact 38 rifles, and the 92 heavy machine gun that gave Zhang Wei great damage was blown up, and two crooked handles were captured. Three grenadiers were captured, as well as a number of grenades and grenades.

For these materials, Zhang Wei, in line with the principle of taking them away as much as possible, specially dispatched a squad to carry these 38 rifles and bullets, and added the sub-machine guns to the two infantry squads without light machine guns.

The two platoons led by Qiu Qingquan suffered heavy casualties, and there were only more than 30 people left in these two platoons, Zhang Wei and Qiu Qingquan discussed it, and simply scattered these people into Zhang Wei's three platoons to enrich the combat strength of each squad as much as possible.

Zhang Wei put down two crooked handles, so that each of the three platoons and nine squads under the blind had a light machine gun, and in the search, communications, and mortar squads under Zhang Wei's direct command, except for the mortar squad, which was not equipped with light machine guns due to mission requirements, the remaining command squads and search squads were also equipped with one light machine gun.

After reorganization again, Zhang Wei's department has a total of more than 160 people, the reorganization after this battle, the integration of all the combat forces since the breakthrough, the previous battle and breakthrough, in any case, there is a chaotic situation, after all, the personnel in the team are complex, and now all of them are based on Zhang Wei's people and the original veterans of the fourth company, whether it is command or combat, compared with the previous has been greatly improved.

Qiu Qingquan looked at the reorganized team, due to the lack of steel helmets, so the soldiers without steel helmets all wore captured Japanese steel helmets, plus crooked machine guns and Japanese-style grenadiers, it looked a little untidy, but the spirit and queue were more shrewd and capable than any previous time.

"How's that, Senza."

"Zhang Wei, yes, after this battle, this company of soldiers can fight, dare to fight with the Japanese army at the squadron level, such a hard battle is gnawed, this team of soldiers will be better used in the future."

Qiu Qingquan said on his lips, thinking in his heart that he must take Zhang Wei away, in the battle just now, this kid acted decisively and resolutely implemented the plan to the end, which is better than many people.

He observed that the whole team was able to break through, and almost all of the people in the front of the team were Zhang Wei's old subordinates, Qiu Wei, He Kun, Hao Zhong and the veterans they brought out, decisive and good at training, this is Qiu Qingquan's evaluation of Zhang Wei.

Let's go, Qiu Qingquan nodded. Zhang Wei led the troops out of this bloody and fire village, the bodies of the dead soldiers could not be taken away, Zhang Wei asked them to be buried on the highest mound at the entrance of the village, which is also the place with the most sunshine.

I can't take you home, so let's find a good place for you to sleep.

The troops continued to march south, and as they walked, they should be able to see the county town and the railway station, and the road was deserted, and refugees who had died of starvation could be seen along the way. When approaching the county seat, you can see a little crowd.

Zhang Wei ordered the troops to disperse and advance towards the county seat, Qiu Qingquan agreed very much, who knows if the county seat is now in the hands of the devils? If you really want to run into a devil, you have to have a tough attack.

Hiding the troops in the field, Zhang Wei sent a search squad to search and advance around the city gate, and Hao Zhong's platoon followed up to cover. Through the binoculars, Zhang Wei saw the scattered armed soldiers on the city wall, and he didn't know if it was Japanese soldiers.

As soon as the search squad walked to the city gate, a bullet hit, but unfortunately the marksmanship was too bad and no one was hit.

"Someone, don't come here." The defender on the city wall asked, listening to the movement is Chinese.

"Chinese soldiers." The search squad leader replied, Hao Zhong platoon heard the gunshot, quickly rushed over, and when he arrived at the place, he found that it was a Chinese, a soldier of the security regiment in the county town, who shot at the place.

Zhang Wei heard the gunshots, and his heart was cold, but the search soldiers reported that they were "their own people" Zhang Wei, for the sake of caution, asked Qiu Qingquan to take a platoon to watch outside the city, and personally took Qiu Wei's platoon to join Hao Zhongpai.

Said to be a county seat, in fact, it is just a small place to live, Zhang Wei looked at the dilapidated city wall, this county town is completely set up for the railway station, without the transportation ancillary industry, this ghost place is probably a barren place.

It was the security regiment stationed at the county railway station that shot just now, and when he heard the report that the regular army was coming, the company commander of the security regiment hurriedly ran over, the company commander was surnamed Xu, and he told Zhang Wei that the entire regiment had withdrawn, leaving them to watch the railway station and the remaining wagons, Zhang Wei was also convinced, this railway station belonged to the end of the entire railway line, and the commander of the security regiment made it clear that he was taking this bullet.

"You regimental commander is really bad, leaving more than 100 of you to watch this hellish place. It's not the end of running into a devil. ”

Lian Commander Xu sighed: "Why didn't you meet it, the Japanese had more than a dozen people come to attack us before, and they fought with us, and it took their lives to defeat them, we killed and injured forty or fifty brothers, and now there are more than 40 people left." ”

To get back to the point, Zhang Wei wanted to leave and take the train to Xuzhou, but Xu Lian Commander didn't refuse when he heard it, after all, there was no point in staying here, but he made a request to take his people with him.

Zhang Wei looked at the more than 40 people under Company Commander Xu, and an idea came to his heart, so he simply took it in.

"Company Commander Xu, you said that you are such a bastard as a chief, why don't you do it with us, besides, the security regiment will be replenished to the regular army sooner or later." After the start of the war, the security regiments in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan and other places were successively transferred to the front line to supplement the field troops.

Of course, like these officers of the security regiment, the troops generally do not want them, one is that many people have poor command skills, and on the other hand, the troops do not want to be mixed in with new factions to compete for power and profit, so they want soldiers to fight.

Company Commander Xu thought for a while, added to other troops, and if he joined the team, he would be unemployed, looking at Company Commander Zhang's tone, it seemed that he could tolerate himself. And looking at the clothes, it is still the Central Army, there are many machine guns in the ranks, and there seem to be grenadiers.

After thinking about it carefully, Company Commander Xu finally made up his mind.

"Company Commander Zhang, I'll do it with you."
