Chapter 687: Win or Lose? (First update!) )
"Camp Commander Xiong, no one thought that the devil would be so ruthless, and he wouldn't even let go of his own people!" Li Wen, who couldn't think of any other words to comfort Xiong Changhe, could only say stubbornly.
"However, there is one thing we have to be thankful about, the artillery is in the back, there is no shelling, all the mortars are good. It's only three o'clock in the morning, and there are still a lot of shells brought. I think we should continue to sneak up on the devils with cannons and avenge the sacrificed soldiers!
"Revenge!" Xiong Changhe gritted his teeth and said these two words.
The captain of the Japanese army was very happy, and the follow-up troops reported that more than 100 corpses of the Eighth Route Army and many light machine guns that the Eighth Route Army did not have time to take away were found on the battlefield.
Weapons are the most important thing for soldiers after life, and even more important for the low-level Eighth Route Army.
Even the machine gun was no longer needed, which shows how heavy the Eighth Route Army, which attacked itself, suffered heavy losses in the shelling. In order to survive, those equipment had to be abandoned.
"Congratulations, sir, for destroying so many Eighth Route Army!" The adjutant said with a compliment.
The deputy captain next to him followed closely and said, "I can finally have a good rest." Sir, the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack troops suffered heavy losses, and they retreated like lost dogs, and they definitely didn't dare to attack us again. Is it an order for the troops to seize the time to rest! ”
"Yes!" The captain replied confidently.
Amid the compliments of his subordinates, the captain was just about to return to the tent when the last thing he wanted to hear was the sound of cannonballs.
The captain was stunned, and it took a long time to react.
"These Eighth Route Army haven't left yet, do they really want to fight us to the end here?" The captain, who was slapped in the face by the Eighth Route Army again, couldn't help but scold as soon as he spoke.
The men who had just left gathered again.
The vice-captain directly proposed: "Sir, I think we should continue to deal with them with the method we just used until we destroy them all!" ”
The captain frowned, and made a decisive decision: "Yes, you can arrange it!" ”
What disappointed him was that Xiong Changhe didn't have any thoughts of stumbling with him this time.
Although his eyes were red, he still ordered rationally: "Captain Li, it's still the old rule, you take your people and the guard platoon, the reconnaissance platoon, fight guerrilla attacks with them, slowly consume them, drag them until they retreat!" ”
"I'll take the artillery platoon and continue to shell the devil's station!"
For the next three hours, every half hour, the devil's station would be hit by more than a dozen shells.
The pursuing troops could have easily caught up with the artillery platoon commanded by Xiong Changhe, and then chased after Xiong Changhe, so that the artillery had no time to set up artillery.
However, there are too many ways for Li Wen to deal with them.
Long-distance sneak attack, the only way to use grenades to arrange mines, or even directly set traps......
All kinds of endless means forced the devil to attack the troops, and they had to slow down in order to reduce casualties.
It was finally dawn that the shelling that annoyed the devils finally stopped.
The captain who walked out of the tent with a pair of dark circles under his eyes asked anxiously as soon as he saw the adjutant.
"Immediately count the casualties of the troops. Knowing that the other side has won a hundred battles, yesterday the Eighth Route harassed us for half a night, and many troops must have been disabled! ”
The deputy captain walked over with a solemn face, and directly called the adjutant who was about to leave.
"No need to go, I've already counted the casualties!"
"Sir, the second squadron that took the initiative to attack, except for 38 warriors who survived by luck, all the others died in battle. Among the 38 people, 11 lightly and seriously wounded were incapacitated and could not participate in the next battle! ”
"The first squadron and the first squad were completely annihilated by the Eighth Route Army during the sortie! The remaining two squads lost 26 men in their artillery sneak attack! ”
"The third squadron also attacked, and under the attack of small units of the Eighth Route Army along the way, it lost 42 people, of which 29 were killed directly!"
"The fourth squadron was responsible for patrolling and guarding, and lost two patrols and some guard posts, a total of 32 people."
"The troops directly under the Eighth Route lost a total of 51 people under the artillery fire of the Eighth Road!"
"Together with the light and serious wounded who lost their combat effectiveness, the whole army lost a total of nearly 400 people, and 316 people were killed in direct battle!"
The captain opened his mouth with a shocked expression.
I didn't expect that in one night, it would cause such a large number of casualties to the troops.
What's more, the opponent who inflicted such a big casualty on himself has not encountered them head-on until now.
At this time, the deputy captain spoke again: "In addition, there is still an hour of air support to arrive, do you want to continue the attack today." If so, we should start preparing now! ”
"Attack, according to the plan made yesterday, set off on time and launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army!" The captain finally reacted and gritted his teeth and ordered.
After thinking for a while, he added: "However, because the imperial army has suffered too many losses, the puppet army that is attacking today and cooperating with us will have to take on more tasks." ”
"Also, dismantle a few disabled units and add them to other units that can still fight. The baggage brigade is also fully replenished to the combat unit, and if it is not enough, it is necessary to transfer personnel from the guard unit, and it is necessary to ensure that the three infantry squadrons are fully formed! ”
On the way back to the station, Xiong Changhe's brows kept furrowing, he didn't speak, and he also had a worried expression on his face.
Last night, the first battalion eliminated more than 200 devils just as far as they could see. Plus those killed by shells, 300 people must be indispensable.
However, the results of the battle were large, and the casualties were also large.
More than 300 subordinates were beaten by themselves to the point that there were only about 100 people left, not even a single one.
The equipment was also heavily damaged, and all the three heavy machine guns equipped with the battalion were lost on the battlefield covered by devil artillery fire, and only four of the nearly 20 light machine guns were brought out, and the rest were all lost.
With such a big loss, plus the nearly 200 mortar shells he used up in half a night, Xiong Changhe himself didn't know whether he won or lost this battle.
I don't know how to give an explanation to the head of the regiment after I met the head of the regiment.
In particular, the nearly 200 soldiers who died in the shelling were all elites of the new regiment after more than a month of intensive training.
Because he used the method of the regiment commander for training, even if there is still a gap between the combat effectiveness and the old Eighth Road from the old Red Army, it can definitely be described as elite.
Originally, they were going to go to the battlefield to compete with the devils.
Unexpectedly, under the cover of a cannon fire, all the shadows of the devils were sacrificed without seeing them.
"Regiment commander, I didn't do a good job in the sneak attack last night, and I lost so many troops and equipment, can you punish me? Even if you kill me directly, I don't have a word of nonsense! As soon as he saw the head of the regiment, Wang Ping, Xiong Changhe lowered his head and replied, and he couldn't see the usual arrogance on his face.
"I'll talk about you later, wait for me to finish this battle first!" Wang Ping replied to Xiong Botao and began to check the results of last night.
Such a big loss, although the reason is not Xiong Changhe. Even if you command yourself, the losses are not too small. However, Wang Ping was still angry.
