After the fierce battle, Zhang Wei's second company and the soldiers who attacked the station cleaned up the battlefield while cleaning up and treating the wounded, and the defense of the station and its surroundings was handed over to a new regiment of the Cantonese army. Ｘ

"How many casualties?" Zhang Wei stepped over the dead body on the ground, squatted on the ground, and asked Mu Chao on the side. Mu Chao is also covered in blood now, and his face still has the scars left by the fierce battle.

"Twenty dead, twenty-four wounded, thanks to the tank, the minor injuries can be dealt with, and the seriously injured are all sent down."

"Let's go, gather up the troops, and go back to the troops."

Due to the gradual opening up of the Guangdong army troops that took over the defense, it was meaningless for Zhang Wei and them to stay here, the troops behind were moving forward, Zhang Wei retreated back with the second company and retreated to the assault column, Zhang Wei asked Mu Chao to lead the second company back to the camp, he himself had to go to Qiu Qingquan first, after all, after such a battle, he always had to report.

Seeing that the attack was successful, Qiu Qingquan had already left the forward command post, returned to the column headquarters, and commanded the troops to move forward.

"Zhang Wei, it's down. How many casualties were there? ”

Zhang Wei got up and replied: "Report to the sir, there are more than 40 casualties, and the light and serious wounded have been sent to the column hospital." ”

Qiu Qingquan nodded with satisfaction: "You're not injured, are you?" ”

"Sir, it's all right."

Qiu Qingquan sat on the marching chair on the side and pointed outside: "You fought well, you didn't mess up with the chariot like the people of the 155th Division before, just now Chief Li praised your infantry in the forward command post." ”

"Sir, are we going to move our guard too?" Zhang Wei saw that the troops of the 155th Division moved forward and took Luowang Station, and the next step was to follow the direction of the rout of the Japanese army and attack Luowangzhai and other places.

"The order to us is down, the whole column continues to cooperate with the 64th Army, attacking the Japanese army in the area of Luowangzhai and Shizhai, the 58th Division of the 74th Army has also been transported to arrive, under the command of the 64th Army, it is estimated that it will be launched soon, our next step is to cooperate with them, take down Luowangzhai and Shizhai, there are a lot of Japanese troops nearby, first hit Luowang, and then hit Shizhai, the Japanese army has stationed troops in these two places, and there are still considerable troops in the field, we must take these two places and expel the Japanese army, otherwise it will be nonsense to take the station, They're on there and can fight back at any time and threaten them. ”

Zhang Wei paused, there was a commotion outside, and the column headquarters was about to be transferred, and he was carrying supplies to the car, and looked at Qiu Qingquan again.

"What about our battalion?"

"You guys take a rest first, after two battles in a row, the soldiers can't replenish you, you can keep the mortar platoon of the tank battalion first, the column will not use infantry for the time being, your troops should rest first, our column is arranged on the left rear side of the 155th Division, and the 58th Division is attached to the right side, we may not be able to use it during the main attack, just follow the column to move the troops over."

After Qiu Qingquan finished speaking, he looked out at the chaotic column headquarters again, if Zhang Wei didn't take the initiative to leave at this time, the first twenty years would be in vain. After leaving the column headquarters, he naturally returned to his own preparation camp, and the second company evacuated the wounded soldiers, and some of the intact soldiers fell asleep on the ground, some were in a daze, and some were pale.

After Mu Chao came back, Qiu Wei and Zheng Yiqun helped him straighten out the troops, and organized people to boil water for the soldiers of the second company to make up some dry food.

Qiu Wei, Mu Chao, and Zheng Yiqun saw Zhang Wei coming back, and several people came over and surrounded Zhang Wei.

"Battalion commander, it's a beautiful fight, the brothers of our company want to follow, it's a pity." Qiu Wei said with a little regret

"Okay, it's useful to you, it's strange that you didn't win the battle just now, one of the previous attack failures was a tactical problem, the infantry coordination was too poor, and the other was that the armor and firepower of the combat vehicles that cooperated with the attack were too weak, like the chariot that was assigned to the second company just now, the little devil on the opposite side had nothing to do with him, and they also lacked anti-tank weapons, if they could have more anti-defense guns, they might be able to get rid of two tanks, but they only had two guns, and there was a bird to use, and it was a matter of time before they were beaten away."

Zheng Yiqun watched Qiu Wei and Zhang Wei talking, with some loss and bitterness on his face, Zhang Wei naturally understood what he was thinking, walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think about it, you have been on the second company in a row, it will definitely be useful for your third company, before considering that you are even weak in strength and experience, what you have to do now is to lead the company and don't go wrong." ”

Zheng Yiqun listened to Zhang Wei's persuasion, the loss on his face gradually disappeared, think about it carefully, Zheng Yiqun didn't want to live up to Zhang Wei's "promotion" to him, compared with the second company, his command ability and combat experience are not as good as the second company commander Mu Chao, not to mention the first company, the first company is almost all veterans, and the company commander Qiu Wei is also a battle-hardened master, under the same conditions, Zhang Wei will definitely use them first, Zheng Yiqun felt that his previous ideas were indeed naïve, but Zhang Wei also said that he would definitely be able to use the third company, Zheng Yiqun secretly swore in his heart, It really came that day, it really came that day, not to mention the other two companies that caught up in battle, and the performance must not be too bad, and it didn't feel good to be half a head lower than others.

Zhang Wei then conveyed the order to move the defense: "The whole battalion is ready to move the defense, follow the main force of the column, on the left rear side of the 155th Division, and the column headquarters will move in another fifteen minutes, and then set off, understand?" ”

"Yes!" After the three of them received the order, they immediately went down to arrange for the troops to be reorganized, clean up the camp, extinguish the bonfire, and prepare to pull out the camp.

Zhang Wei walked to the side, called his three signal soldiers, and saw more than 20 people from the mortar platoon and two artillery squads sitting on the ground.

Zhang Wei walked over, the people of the mortar platoon hurriedly got up, the battle just now made them tired enough, the 82 mortar was disassembled and carried and ran so far that no one could stand it, ** Now there is no 60 mortar that is convenient for the company-level unit to act, Zhang Wei can only take the 82 gun when he attacked just now, in fact, this gun is more suitable for the accompanying use of the battalion and regiment level, but now it can only be used on this gun.

"Hello sir!" said the mortar platoon commander.

"Brother, you are tired and have carried a cannon all the way."

"No, that's it, sir, we've run out of shells, it's not going to be easy." The mortar platoon commander sighed. The way of playing just now didn't bring many shells at all, and it ran out of shells after two rounds.

Now the ammunition supplied has not yet arrived, and the ammunition of the infantry under Zhang Wei has not been replenished, and Zhang Wei estimates that the ammunition can only be issued after the defense is completed.

"The ammunition is not in a hurry, we have to move the defense in a while, so let my signal corps take you to the heavy machine gun company over there, put the cannon on the pack horse, let the horse carry it, and it is not a matter for you to carry it yourself." Zhang Wei pointed in the direction of the heavy machine gun company. One of his own signal corps was assigned to accompany him.

"Thank you, sir!" The mortar platoon commander thanked him, and then took his men to carry the mortar parts and went to the heavy machine gun company over there.

The entire preparatory battalion was nervously preparing to move, fastening the equipment, immediately saddle,
