Chapter 240: The Headquarters Shakes
After the battle, the instructor soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield, looking at the mountains of captured materials, everyone smiled, especially the artillery brigade commander Sun Youdao, he was like looking at a peerless beauty, and constantly drooled at the thirty guns captured from the Japanese field artillery wing, which was so obscene that it was really speechless.

However, it is no wonder that Sun Youdao said that although the field artillery of small Japan is not as powerful as the heavy artillery of Europe and the United States, it is better because of the simple operation and the large number of them, and with these 30 artillery, the strength of the artillery brigade has exploded again.
Because this battle was an urban street battle, coupled with the extremely fast speed of the instructor's assault, it hit the back of the Japanese army after entering the city, resulting in the Japanese army's field artillery wing not exerting its power, it was broken through the artillery position by the instructor, and the Japanese artillery only had time to blow up six artillery pieces and was killed by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
Zhang Cheng was browsing the list of battle results and battle damage report handed in by Feng Shaojie, the minister of logistics, combined with the battle of the political commissar in Laoxian, this war instructor wiped out nearly 11,000 Japanese soldiers in total, and captured less than 10 Japanese soldiers.
In addition, the instructor captured a total of 30 75mm field guns, 80 mortars, more than 200 grenadiers, and more than 10,000 shells. There were 115 heavy machine guns, 356 light machine guns, 9,756 38 large covers, 269 pistols, 1,100 grenades, more than 40,000 grenades, and 1.5 million rounds of ammunition.
However, the casualties of the instructor were also very shocking, even if the instructor was prepared to fight and unprepared, and with the cooperation of the 196th Brigade inside and outside, after the two battles, the instructor still suffered nearly 2,500 casualties, of which the number of casualties was as high as 1,500, which can be described as the largest number of casualties since the instructor became an army.
Looking at the huge number of casualties, even though Zhang Cheng had already regarded the casualties as a string of numbers, he still felt a convulsion, and his heart ached so hard that he couldn't breathe.
At this time, it was the young and old political commissar who came to comfort him: "Division commander, look at it, since you and I set foot on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, we have long expected that there will be this day, as a Chinese soldier, it is the glory of the martyrs to die for the resistance against Japan, and you should be proud of them." ”
Zhang Cheng endured the sadness in his heart, and reluctantly nodded: "I'm nothing, but I didn't expect the Japanese army's will to fight so tenacious, I think we still have to train the soldiers well, there are still such big casualties in the case of absolute superiority, obviously, we haven't practiced enough." ”
The political commissar nodded and said: "The division commander's opinion is very reasonable, in fact, our training methods are very correct, and we know enough about the situation of the Japanese army, but as soon as the battle starts, the soldiers forget all the things they usually train, and they only care about the blood and rush hard." ”
Zhang Cheng said: "So they haven't practiced enough, they haven't formed a physical memory of tactical movements, if they practice tactical actions into physical memory, even if the blood is surging, they will play out what they usually train according to their habitual movements." ”
In terms of military training, Zhang Cheng was undoubtedly one of the few leading figures in the Eighth Route Army, and the political commissar also agreed with him very much, and after discussing with the two, they decided to wait for the battle to come to an end before conducting this tactical intensive training for the soldiers to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops.
At this time, Wang drove the donkey over and presented a treasure to Zhang Cheng: "Division commander, this is the saber of the commander of the Japanese brigade I found, and I specially brought it to you." ”
Zhang Cheng took the saber, looked at it with interest, and praised again and again: "Good knife, really a good knife!" ”
But Zhang Cheng suddenly sighed again: "Alas, you don't know yet, Japan's sabers are all inherited from my country's Tang Dynasty, and as a result, my country's Tang swords have been lost to Japanese swords but have been passed down for thousands of years." Since ancient times, our country has not paid too much attention to the skills of 100 craftsmen, and the rotten Confucians also denounced 100 workers as a cheap industry, think about the gunpowder invented in our country, the Chinese people use it to make fireworks and firecrackers, just for ornamental purposes, but after the results are transmitted to the West, the Westerners make gunpowder into guns and cannons to beat us in turn, which is really a sin! ”
These words made the political commissar and Wang Qiandonkey and others look at each other, I don't know why the division commander suddenly became depressed, Zhang Cheng did not explain much, but returned the saber to Wang Qiandonkey, saying that it was not the saber of the Japanese general, and he didn't want it.
Wang was naturally very happy to get the saber, but he also remembered Zhang Cheng's words, and knew that the division commander wanted the saber of the Japanese general, and he couldn't look down on the major general's saber, so he had to work harder to get a big saber for the division commander.
Not to mention, Wang drove the donkey and really got a saber of a Japanese general for Zhang Cheng later, of course, this is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.
As soon as it was dark, Zhang Cheng ordered his troops to take cover to avoid retaliatory bombing by Japanese planes. After a series of post-war matters, I remembered that I hadn't sent a telegram to the commander and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
In the telecommunications room of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, a radio signal soldier suddenly shouted with a new telegram: "Great! Instructor Yuan Ping and Laoxian won a great victory, and eliminated the Chahar Dispatch Corps of the Japanese Kwantung Army to form the 15th Brigade! ”
Comrade Zuo Quan, deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, was in the telecommunications room at this time, and immediately exclaimed: "What? Say it again! ”
The signal corpsman said happily: "Chief of Staff Zuo, the telegram just sent by Division Commander Zhang Cheng, the instructor Yuan Ping won a great victory, eliminated the Japanese army and mixed the 15th brigade, captured the Japanese major general and brigade commander Shinohara Seiichiro, captured a brigade flag, and killed tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers!" ”
"Great victory! This is an unprecedented victory of our army on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! Zuo Quan snatched the telegram and rushed out of the telecommunications room, and he wanted to personally report the victory to the commander, Mr. Zhu and other leaders.
After leaving the telecommunications room, Zuo Quan ran all the way and shouted all the way to meet people, "The tutor is a great victory, the tutor is a great victory!" ”
Hearing the loud propaganda of Chief of Staff Zuo, the entire headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was boiling, and they inquired about the news of the great victory of the instructor.
After the commander and Mr. Zhu and others who were in a meeting heard the noise outside, they ran out one after another, and the commander stopped Zuo Quan and said: "Zuo Quan, what happened, you yelled all the way, and the sound shook my brain." ”
Zuo Quan didn't care about the commander's complaints at all, he reported to the commander: "Commander, Zhang Cheng has won another big battle, this time he and his instructor have eliminated 10,000 devils!" ”
When the commander heard this, he immediately shook up, he snatched the telegram, and said unceremoniously: "Show it to me!" ”
After reading the telegram, the commander suddenly laughed and said: "Hahaha! The instructor wiped out an entire brigade of the Japanese army, opening a precedent for our army's anti-Japanese war. ”
