Chapter 819: Victory in the first battle

On the battlefield, a soldier of an independent regiment was hit by a devil, and the intensive ambush fire of the independent regiment would kill the devil who showed his head. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Soon, all the devils who were still alive on the battlefield were treated as shrunken turtles, hiding in places where the independent regiment could not reach, waiting for the opportunity, and then counterattacking.

Xie Hui obviously didn't intend to give them this opportunity.

The shells fired by the nine mortars of the artillery company blew up all over the place where the devil might be hiding, and after firing nearly 400 shells in a row, Xie Hui decisively gave the order to charge.

The more than 2,000 officers and men of the independent regiment who were still alive quickly attacked and strangled together with the remnants of the devils who had less than 200 people left on the battlefield.

Although the devils here are all from the garrison, compared to the independent regiment that has been trained for less than a month, the battle is more than twice as high.

In one face, the independent regiment lost nearly 200 people. And the devils who were completely surrounded, only a handful fell on the battlefield.

Subsequently, dozens of small encirclements were formed on the battlefield, and dozens or hundreds of soldiers of independent regiments surrounded seven or eight dozen devils, although the bayonets of both sides kept colliding together, and people were constantly stabbed to the ground by bayonets. However, the people who fell were basically the people of the independent regiment, and several times the number of troops fought bayonets around the devils, but they couldn't help the other party.

At this time, the officers, scattered among more than two thousand people, moved.

Unlike his subordinates, who rushed forward in a daze with rifles in their hands, the officers from the Wehrmacht all held pistols.

As soon as he rushed to the encirclement, he pulled the trigger on the devil.

The gunshots rang out, and the devil, who had an arrogant expression just now, immediately fell into the encirclement with incredulity and despair.

After the already small number of devils quickly fell, the formation of the remaining devils was chaotic.

The soldiers of the Independent Regiment who were facing each other immediately seized the opportunity, and with their rifles in their hands on their bayonets, they stabbed the remaining devils who were a little panicked.

Because of carelessness and panic, many devils blocked the analogy in one direction but did not block the bayonets from the other directions, and then they were poked out of several bloody holes in their bodies by the bayonets, and fell to the ground and turned into corpses.

Another five minutes passed, and as the last devil was stabbed to death on the ground by seven or eight bayonets, there was no longer a living devil in the battlefield that stretched for nearly a kilometer.

After waiting for less than half an hour at the headquarters, a staff officer rushed in and reported: "Regiment commander, all the devils who rushed into the ambush circle have been eliminated, and a total of 1,357 devil corpses have been found on the battlefield, and there are many devil corpses that have been blown into minced meat, and there is no way to distinguish them." ”

"According to statistics, we captured a total of 12 mortars, 12 heavy machine guns, 25 light machine guns, 28 grenadiers, and 695 rifles in this ambush battle, and the rest of the weapons were blown up. As for the ammunition seized, it is very large and is still being counted. ”

With so many weapons, especially light and heavy machine guns and mortars, once equipped with the troops, the intensity of the troops' firepower will more than double in an instant. Therefore, Xie Hui directly showed a very satisfied smile on his face.

Then he very decisively ordered: "The captured light and heavy machine guns and mortars will immediately equip the troops, and there will be a big battle to be fought next, and the stronger the firepower of the troops, the fewer casualties in the battle will be." ”

"By the way, in the whole ambush battle, the casualties of the troops are not large!"

"Fortunately, they were all within the range of our original estimates, with 956 killed in the battle, more than 200 seriously injured and incapacitated, and more than 300 lightly wounded. There are about 1,500 people still fighting. The chief of staff, who had read the statistical list, replied very seriously.

Xie Hui nodded and continued to order, "Then leave all the lightly wounded to clean up the battlefield." The others brought the captured heavy weapons and immediately followed me to reinforce Han Yu. If we can cooperate with Han Yu to eat one of the main forces of the devils entering the mountain, then for a long time to come, as long as the devils do not gather enough main forces, they will definitely not dare to enter the mountains to encircle and suppress us again. ”

It would have been a happy day for the commander of the Devil Brigade, but as the sky got darker and darker. The brigade commander's face not only did not show the expected happy expression, but became more and more serious, and even a trace of heaviness could be seen in the serious expression.

The mountain road, which could have been completed in one day, is now only halfway through.

In the face of the continuous resistance of the independent regiment, although he broke through, he also eliminated many soldiers of the independent regiment, of which no less than 300 corpses were found on the battlefield alone.

However, the casualties of a wing entering the mountain were no less significant.

Despite the small casualties of the troops during the attack, on the march, the cunning separate regiment directly showed a very elite posture.

Sneak attacks, ambushes, and mines...... As long as it can be used, I have used all of them on myself, and I have a feeling of dazzled when I see it.

In this case, the sound of gunfire and explosions around the troops was not interrupted throughout the day's march.

As a result, at least 400 of his men fell under the sneak attack of the Independent Regiment in one day.

This is not counting the troops lost by the devils in taking the Wudao positions of the independent regiment, if they are also counted, the devils lost more than 700 and nearly 800 elites in one day, and these people who lost were all combat units.

Relatively speaking, the loss of troops in the independent regiment was even smaller than that of its own troops, which was almost unacceptable in the eyes of the brigade commander.

Although he was very dissatisfied with today's battle, the brigade commander did not show it directly, and if he let his subordinates know that his brigade commander was so irritable, it would have a great impact on the morale of the troops.

After glancing at the tired subordinates around him, in order to boost the morale of the troops, the brigade commander decisively gave the troops an order to stop advancing.

As soon as the devil stopped, Han Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Losing five lines of defense in one day was completely expected by Han Yu, and Han Yu was not worried at all. After all, there are still six lines of defense waiting for the devils behind. The only thing that worries Han Yu is the loss of troops.

Although the company platoon commanders of the three recruit battalions were all veterans and low-level officers from the Wehrmacht, Han Yu still overestimated the combat effectiveness of the recruit battalion, and at the same time underestimated the combat effectiveness of the devils.

The hard-built defense line can be said to be vulnerable in front of the main force of the devils.

If it weren't for the continuous sneak attacks that caused a lot of casualties to the main force of the devils, Han Yu was sure that even if the three new battalions were destroyed, they would not be able to complete the task of killing and injuring a large number of devils.

After the devil began to rest, Han Yu did not rest, frowning and thinking about how to break the enemy on the first line of defense that the devil would attack tomorrow.

"Battalion commander, there is no need to defend the position, the little devils are all smart now, and when they encounter our position, they will wait for the main force and then use artillery bombardment to kill and injure us from a distance. The troops in our hands are all new recruits, and the fact that the recruits are afraid of artillery cannot be changed. "One of his subordinates was the first to put forward his own thoughts.

As soon as he finished speaking, another recruit followed.

"I propose to increase the strength of the sneak attack force. The two or three hundred people who survived the battle in one day today can be regarded as veterans, and if they are supplemented with the same number of recruits, and then sneak attack the main force of the devils in a company and platoon, they will definitely achieve great results.
