Chapter Ninety-Six: The Fourth Battalion

This time, the second battalion not only let Lao Maozi lose nearly 300 corpses again, but also let Lao Maozi drop two heavy machine guns. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After leaving the four companies with the greatest losses to clean up the battlefield, the remaining two companies of the second battalion immediately joined forces with the first battalion, with a total of seven heavy machine guns, and chased after Lao Maozi without any scruples.

The final result was that the third battalion, with the support and help of the first, second and second battalions, once again cut off the tails of more than 300 Lao Maozi, and also robbed three heavy machine guns by the way.

Major General Vasily, who panicked all the way, finally fled back to Anshan County like a lost dog with less than 700 remnants and three heavy machine guns......

"Won...... Commander, we won, our Yangjiazhai regiment really defeated a field infantry regiment of Lao Maozi. After receiving the good news from the three battalions in the artillery position, Zhong Hu, the deputy commander of the artillery company, rushed directly to Yang Xingguo with a look of surprise and said in his most excited voice......

"It did win...... However, the battle is not over yet...... "The excitement on his face because of the victory was slowly covered with seriousness. After a short silence, Yang Xingguo was very surprised to speak......

"It's not over yet...... Commander, what do you mean......" Zhong Hu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically with a puzzled expression.

"Lao Maozi failed again and lost more than a thousand people...... It is safe to say that Lao Maozi's strength in Anshan is the weakest at this moment...... We must seize this opportunity and do everything possible to restore and strengthen our ......"

"Otherwise, as soon as Lao Maozi's reinforcements from Lushun come, we won't have a chance......"

Zhong Hu's face quickly flashed with a look of sudden realization, and then he said excitedly.

"Commander, I understand, you want to take advantage of Lao Maozi's weakest time to expand the results of the battle!"

Yang Xingguo nodded, and ordered without hesitation: "Deputy Company Commander Zhong, immediately pass my order to the three battalions: the three battalions will concentrate the strength of the two companies respectively, and set off immediately with the heavy machine gun platoon." I gave them three days, and within three days, each battalion was to lay an iron mine for me to come back......"

"Yes, Commander......" Zhong Hu, who looked excited, replied loudly.

Two days later, Yangjiatun had just regained its calm, and it ushered in the second battalion that had returned triumphantly......

More than 200 officers and men of the second battalion, more than 300 absentees who were willing to participate in the regimental training, and the five major truckloads of heavy weapons that had just been seized directly formed a mighty convoy and drove into Yangjiatun.

The midweek lift, which had just taken a few hours off, had to get busy again.

The second battalion had just ended, and the first and third battalions had also returned to Yangjiatun.

Compared with the second battalion, the first and third battalions brought back more things. The two battalions not only brought back more than 800 absentees who were willing to join the regimental training, but also seized 13 cartloads of weapons, ammunition, and other materials. On the way back, by the way, he took a bandit den, seized five large trucks of various finances, and captured more than 100 bandits......"

At the Yangjiazhai Regiment Training Headquarters in Yangjiatun, all officers at and above the company level were concentrated here to sum up the combat experience of the past few days.

As the commander, Yang Xingguo undoubtedly sat at the top.

Deputy Commander Wang Hu and Chief of Staff Zhou Zhongju sat on either side of Yang Xingguo, while battalion commander Zhao Zhigang and deputy battalion commander Zhou Qiangsheng sat next to them. As for the other company commanders, they sit behind their own battalion commanders according to their establishment......

As with all post-war summary meetings, the beginning was a report on the results and losses of the old man.

Because the battle has been over for several days, whether it is the results or the battle damage, it is no longer a secret to these battalion and company commanders.

Therefore, the whole process passed without the slightest accident under the mid-week briefing.

However, the next question, as soon as Yang Xingguo said it, it attracted the attention of all the battalion and company commanders below......

"Brothers, Lao Maozi's fiasco is indeed a very happy thing for us...... However, there is one thing I have to tell you, according to our detailed report lurking in Anshan County, last night, Lao Maozi, who had been reinforced from Lushun, had already entered Anshan County......"

"This time, Lao Maozi not only came with thousands of infantry, but also brought more than a dozen mountain guns and nine heavy machine guns that everyone had seen the power of. If you add the six or seven hundred remnants of Lao Maozi who fled back to the county seat, Lao Maozi's garrison in Anshan ...... Our enemy, once again with a total strength of more than three thousand men, is well armed and well trained......"

"Although I don't know when Lao Maozi's next encirclement and suppression will start...... However, we must try to recover our strength as much as possible before Lao Maozi comes......"

"Therefore, I have decided to immediately replenish the absenteeism who are willing to participate in our regimental training to all battalions and companies, and through the way of veterans leading new recruits, the combat effectiveness of the trip will be made as soon as possible...... In training, live ammunition is used when it should be used, and the artillery company is no exception......"

"Chief of Staff, can you announce to everyone the number of recruits that need to be replenished in each battalion and the number of veterans that need to be drawn out......"

Zhou Zhongju once again stood up from his seat and said: "According to the commander's request, forty veterans will be transferred from the first battalion, including a deputy company commander, three platoon commanders, deputy platoon commanders, veterans and squad leaders of varying numbers, and handed over to the headquarters. The headquarters replenished the battalion with a total of 249 recruits......"

"The second battalion transferred the same number of veterans and supplemented 254 recruits......"

"The third battalion transferred 30 veterans and supplemented 286 new recruits......"

"The heavy machine gun platoon of each battalion was expanded to three squads, equipped with three heavy machine guns......"

"In addition, each battalion has a new recruit company, with the same logo except for the light machine gun squad

Combat companies are the same. The company commander and squad platoon commander required by the recruit company are to be solved by each battalion on its own......"

Replenishing new recruits, expanding the establishment, and even adding a heavy machine gun are all good things for the battalion and company commanders.

However, it was difficult for them to accept that the command had to take away the veterans of one of their platoons for no reason......

After a few battles, these officers are no longer the rookies they used to be, and they know very well the importance of veterans in a misaligned team.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Zhongju finished speaking, Wang Hu asked with a dissatisfied face: "Commander, there are not many veterans in the second battalion, and if forty veterans are withdrawn, the combat effectiveness of the second battalion will definitely be greatly affected...... Look, can you not take the veterans away, and when we have trained the recruits, we will replace them with the commander......"

Just when the others were about to open their mouths to echo, Yang Xingguo decisively interrupted: "No...... Do you think I'm looking for trouble with these veterans...... Let me tell you, these veterans will become the backbone of the fourth battalion of our Yangjiazhai regiment......"

"In other words, in order to increase our strength, we in Yangjiazhai will form a fourth battalion ......"
