Two shots knocked down the two squadron leaders, Li Han was about to continue shooting, but found that the remaining few devil soldiers were killed, and when he looked to the side, the rifle in Gao Jian's hand was smoking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Han knew that those devil soldiers must have been killed by Gao Jian, and he was more concerned about these cannons than himself.

It may be that he was afraid of being poor in the ranks of the Volunteers before, even after following Li Han, even if the troops are not as short of guns and ammunition as usual, Gao Jian will still carefully calculate where each bullet should be used, and the first squadron will never allow it to be wasted.

Now that the devil's ten cannons are in front of his eyes, Gao Jian has long regarded them as the property of his troops.

And this is not an ordinary belongings, even an infantry cannon costs tens of thousands of oceans, and a cannon destroyed by a devil is worth the salary of several officers and men of a squadron.

Since he saw the cannon, Gao Jian's attention has not left, and even Li Han wanted to throw grenades at the devil's artillery position, but he stopped him, and the devil wanted to destroy it at this time, but there was no door.

After the two squadron leaders were killed, the remaining devils lost their effective command and began to fight on their own, and Li Han also took this opportunity to divide and surround the remaining devils. The remnants of the devil, which were less than a hundred people, were divided into seven or eight small teams.

Soon, the more than 100 devil artillery soldiers returned to their hometown in Japan with honor, and Li Han and the others began to count the loot.

At this time, the originally fierce gunfire on Wang Dazhu's side gradually stopped at this time.

As soon as the artillery stopped shelling, Yamashita Yoshio felt a huge shock in his heart, and his heart seemed to jump to his throat, and he quickly realized that there might be an accident in the artillery position.

Thinking of this, Yamashita Yoshio was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he knew very well in his heart that all the guards in the artillery position were composed of miscellaneous personnel of the artillery unit.

If the ordinary Chinese army sneaks up, they may still be able to hold it with their fortifications, but the enemy in front of them, although their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the field troops of the imperial army, is definitely much stronger than the soldiers of the imperial army in the artillery unit.

Originally, with the help of artillery fire, Yamashita Yoshio's side had reversed the situation on the battlefield, although the Chinese army had the advantage of strength, but it was still defeated by the imperial army.

If it weren't for the fact that it was night, which affected the performance of the imperial soldiers, it would have been possible to crush the Chinese army.

At this time, there was an accident in the artillery, and Yamashita Yoshio's first thought was to reinforce the artillery position at all costs.

It's a pity that after losing the firepower suppression, the elite of the imperial army doesn't seem to be so elite anymore, and the morale of our army instantly soared, and the devil's cannon was dumb, which means that the captain and their action was successful.

They don't have to fight against the devils under the fire of the devils, and they don't have to worry about a sudden cannonball falling from the sky and then falling in the middle of the crowd, blowing themselves and their comrades to pieces.

So Wang Dazhu, who had been pressed and beaten, began to calmly arrange counterattack operations.

At this time, Yoshio Yamashita was like a gambler who had lost everything, and decided to use the few chips in his hand to make a last stand.

Yamashita Yoshio led the remaining more than 300 imperial soldiers to launch an uninterrupted attack on our army, but not only could not take a step forward, but was beaten back to the position by Wang Dazhu and them.

Soon, the gunfire on the side of the artillery position completely stopped, and Yamashita Yoshio understood that the artillery was finished. As soon as the artillery was lost, the defeat was irretrievable, so he decisively gave up the plan to continue reinforcements.

And since the other side has already eliminated the artillery, it is really not difficult to kill himself again. Yamashita Yoshio suddenly realized that it was no longer only time to give up artillery, but also to abandon the position, and the plan to defeat the Chinese army.

The artillery position must have been wiped out, in case those cannons on the ground were also captured by the Chinese army, and then used the artillery of the imperial army to shell their own positions, thinking about Yamashita Yoshio's heart shuddered.

The devils have retreated!

In fact, after the heavy losses of the infantry, Yamashita Yoshio had thought about retreating, although the troops in his hands were still very strong at that time, but there were not many infantry that could really be used to attack, and even if he could defeat the opponent, he could not achieve a big victory.

However, whether it was the honor of the imperial army or the mission of the family, Yamashita Yoshio could not open his mouth to give the order to retreat, which eventually evolved into this fiasco.

Now that the troops have lost everything, but the Chinese army is becoming more and more courageous, and if it continues to fight, the 13th Brigade will probably disappear from the imperial army.

Even if he had to face a military court trial when he returned, Yoshio Yamashita was unwilling to let the Thirteenth Brigade be destroyed in his own hands. Because if you lose the battle, at most you will be punished, dismissed, transferred to the reserves, and you will be imprisoned for a few years.

The situation on the battlefield is inherently ever-changing, and no one dares to say that they will be able to win the battle.

However, if the 13th Brigade is completely annihilated by the Chinese army, the impact will be great, and even the Yamashita family will be implicated.

When Yamashita Yoshio sent a telegram that he was going to retreat to Yamashita Seiichi, this arrogant old devil was furious on the spot, but considering that if he didn't withdraw, the Thirteenth Brigade might disappear.

Yamashita Seiichi still gritted his teeth and agreed to Yamashita Yoshio's withdrawal plan, and instructed Yamashita Yoshio to retreat to Longhua County, where he would send two squadrons of imperial troops to meet him.

With the order of Yoshio Yamashita, the 13th Infantry Brigade, which had suffered heavy losses, withdrew from its position overnight and retreated to Longhua County in disarray. And Wang Dazhu, who had no strength to spare, only symbolically pursued for a distance and then retreated.

In this battle, less than 400 of Yamashita Yoshio's 1,500 men remained, and all his heavy weapons, including ten cannons, were lost. Not only the 13th Infantry Brigade suffered a devastating blow, but also took up two artillery squadrons of the 23rd Wing.

The 23rd Wing suffered a heavy blow from this, and its combat effectiveness dropped several levels at once, while the anti-Japanese forces in various parts of Rehe were as happy as the New Year, eager to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Now they can swagger around the major county towns, and they don't have to worry about the devils looking for their own trouble, and many anti-Japanese armed forces have taken the opportunity to expand their territory.

Although Li Han severely damaged the devil's troops, the losses of his own troops were not small, with more than 1,000 casualties, and most of the brigade of men and horses were hit.

Fortunately, the results of the battle are also obvious, in a short period of time, the devils in Chengde dare not stretch out their claws casually. Li Han also has a relatively stable environment to develop himself.

Thousands of people were busy for most of the night, and finally collected all the loot, especially the two armored vehicles, which Li Han dug deep and large in order to trap the armored vehicles.

Now I want to take the armored car out of the pit again, it takes a lot of effort, and there were excavators, cranes or something during the Republic of China.

Everything had to be done by manpower, and it took more than an hour just to move the two armored vehicles out of the pit.

The sky gradually brightened, and the white clouds on the top of the mountain in the distance were already covered with red glow, and the surroundings were full of life. The fierce fighting of yesterday all day seems to have been forgotten, and everyone is busy with their own business.

"Captain, this is a list of the supplies we have seized this time."

As soon as Li Han returned to his residence, Gao Jian followed up, and there was no way to let Gao Jian take charge of the work of counting the seizures.

Since Wang Wei was transferred to manage the government's convenient affairs, the post of chief of staff has been vacant, and all kinds of logistics work of the army have to be handled by himself, which makes Li Han feel very inconvenient.

"It seems that you have to find a chief of staff for yourself as soon as possible, otherwise you don't want to do anything, just dealing with trivial matters in the army is enough to keep you busy." Looking at Gao Jian, who was full of exhaustion, Li Han thought to himself.

"I won't look at it, you can tell it!"

Li Han said to Gao Jian with a smile, although it has been almost a year since he integrated into the Republic of China, every time he sees those complex traditional characters, Li Han still has a headache.

"Yes, Captain! In this operation, our army captured more than 400 Japanese Type 38 rifles, 20 southern pistols, 18 89 grenadiers, 25 crooked light machine guns, 4 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 6 80 mortars, 6 Type 92 infantry guns, 4 mountain guns of 75 mm caliber, and countless ammunition of various types. ”

Gao Jianmei danced and said to Li Han that he didn't look at the list in his hand, and these data were his own statistics. This time the harvest was so big, and the seized materials were so abundant, Gao Jian had read it over and over again, and he had already memorized it by heart.

"Good! Good! That's great! With this equipment, we can expand the strength of another brigade. ”

Among these trophies, Li Han valued the ten cannons left by the Japanese army the most, and it was a shame to say that there were more than 2,000 people in the anti-Japanese brigade, but there was not even a single cannon in the real sense.

Li Han felt that this was his dereliction of duty, and the strength in his hands was not very weak, and there were still a lot of scattered devil troops in Rehe. It stands to reason that he should have put one or two cannons on board to fill the troops a long time ago.

Fortunately, this batch of artillery is not too late now, and it is enough for him to form an artillery battalion. In the future, if you play against the devil brigade-level troops, you will be able to straighten your waist.

"Captain, we killed more than a thousand devils this time, shouldn't we ask for a reward or something from above!"

There is a saying in China that 'wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes walking at night'. It's the same in the army, where the fighters win battles and, of course, want to be recognized.

Even if the superior leader only gives a verbal commendation, the soldiers below will be very happy, and in the army, the affirmation of the commander is the honor of the soldier.
