Chapter 35: Independent Brigade B
Lao Wu's name was Wu Lao Er, and he was renamed Wu Zhongguo after joining the army. At present, he is the commander of the 4th Battalion of the Reading Force Regiment of the Ninth Group Army, and there are 100 veterans of the original 3rd Battalion under his command, and the rest are new recruits. In the battle of Huishan Wharf, in order to save a new soldier, Wu Lao Er was caught off guard and was stabbed in the thigh with a military bayonet.
But fortunately, Su Dao had equipped every soldier and officer with some medicines before, and after solving the army, the recruit rescued by Wu Lao Er was under the command of Wu Lao Er, and he treated Wu Lao Er's wound in a little hurry, fortunately, the bayonet of the Yue Army was not pierced in the artery, otherwise Wu Lao Er really couldn't deal with it for a while.
"Old Wu!" Su Dao saw Wu Lao Er, who was limping on the battlefield, holding the pole M1 Garand as a crutch in his hand, and directing his soldiers to continue to search for the remnants of the army, seeing this, Su Dao couldn't help shouting.
"Tuanza, a great victory, our Reading Force Regiment killed 1,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 soldiers were wounded, and 8,000 were annihilated, which is the first time in the history of our army." After Wu Zhongguo saw Su Dao, a smile appeared on his face, he was happy, excited that his unit could create a miracle for the Chinese army.
"You bastard, why don't you know to protect yourself? Lao Zhang is gone, if even you are gone, our Reading Force Regiment will lose the combat effectiveness of two battalions in a short time. After seeing that Wu Zhongguo's injuries were not serious, Su Dao smiled and scolded with some joy, and the tense atmosphere before also disappeared.
"Hey, it's all born to my parents, how can I watch a warrior disappear from my eyes, besides, it's not that I can't save him." Wu Zhongguo sighed and preached helplessly.
"Well, it's good to be alive." Su Dao nodded heavily, although the Reading Force Regiment had won a great victory in this battle, the Reading Force Regiment had also lost its combat effectiveness, at least in a short period of time, the Reading Force Regiment would not be able to continue to participate in the war. With such a large casualty, Su Dao has already considered taking this army to the rear, at least for the next month, and will not participate in the battle.
Think about the 3,500 soldiers who were 1,000 a day, but now after only one day, they have completely lost more than 1,000 soldiers, and the remaining soldiers are basically wounded and unable to participate in the battle in a short time. This is the first time that Su Dao has realized the cruelty of war, which is different from the previous encounter in Fuzaobang, this is the first time that Su Dao has led the troops to fight in the real sense, and this experience has made Su Dao even more unforgettable.
"Report to the regimental seat, found ten warehouses, the army has been full of equipment inside, but the number of weapons is not too much, most of them are ammunition, and a small amount of artillery and armament materials." A soldier ran to Su Dao and reported that in addition to cleaning the battlefield, the soldiers also had to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment, and after seeing the warehouse, they naturally had to go in and take a look, lest there was still a hidden army, but this look was really amazing, and they really discovered the lifeblood of the army.
It's just that after getting used to the firepower of the M1 Garand and the MG34 general-purpose machine gun, the soldiers can no longer have any interest in these weapons of the army in front of them, except for finding some ammunition that can be replenished to them, other things have not been touched at all. Even so, they couldn't find anything in the warehouse that could be used, except for grenades.
"Well, send a report to the group army headquarters, saying that our reading regiment has conquered the Huishan wharf, annihilated 8,000 enemies, and has now completely wiped out the entire Huishan wharf, our regiment has killed more than 1,000 people, wounded more than 2,000 people, has temporarily lost its combat effectiveness, and requests to withdraw from the battlefield to recuperate. In addition, please send reinforcements to take over the military armament warehouse here. After Su Dao thought about it, he immediately ordered.
After receiving the order, the soldier went directly to the telegraph operator of the regiment headquarters to send a report, and Su Dao thought about it and felt that there was still something wrong, so he immediately asked the soldiers to pull out the artillery in the warehouse of the army and put it in order to prevent the counterattack of the army, and at the same time aimed the large-caliber artillery at the river, so as not to be powerless to deal with the warships coming, so they could only be passively bombarded.
As for the ammunition supply for the fighters, there was really nothing to supply them here, and everyone except for a few grenades, the rest of the things were still in the warehouse.
"What? Su Dao's reading regiment completely annihilated more than 8,000 people in two wings of the army? "In Nanjing, Chairman Chiang couldn't sleep all night in his office, and all the telegrams on the table were asking for help, or where they were lost, etc., just when Chairman Chiang's head was about to explode, the adjutant suddenly brought such earth-shattering good news.
"Yes, principal, Commander Zhang has verified, the situation is indeed true, the Reading Regiment was previously attacked by the Yue Army, and launched a counterattack, first annihilated more than 800 Yue troops gathered at the North Station, and then immediately launched a large-scale counterattack, the Reading Force Regiment went straight to Huishan Wharf, after five hours of fierce fighting, completely annihilated the two wings of the Yue Army gathered there, and seized a total of ten warehouses of various armaments and materials. However, the current situation of the Reading Force Regiment is not very good, more than 1,000 soldiers have been killed, more than 2,000 wounded, and the Reading Force Regiment has been unable to continue to participate in the war in a short period of time, Su Dao has already submitted a request to Commander Zhang to withdraw from the battlefield for recuperation, Commander Zhang means to agree to withdraw the Reading Force, but I don't know what the principal thinks? The adjutant replied respectfully, if Zhang Zhizhong hadn't personally sent a report to verify the battle situation, he wouldn't have believed it.
In recent years, the gap between the Chinese army and the Yue army is only obvious to all, and it is not difficult for the Chinese army to defeat the Yue army occasionally, but it is a matter of winning more with less, and it is still a big victory, but it is unique. This battle not only completely stunned the Yue army, but also stunned Chairman Jiang and the entire Chinese army.
"Good, good, good." Chairman Chiang's face, which had been tense, finally showed a slight smile, and he said three yes in a row, which was rare in the impression of his adjutant.
"Huaxia really needs a hero now, although the performance of the various units of the Ninth Army is remarkable, and the combat record is reasonable, but it is still slightly inferior to this reading group. You immediately tell this news to the newspaper offices outside, and I will see a report in the newspapers tomorrow morning that our army has annihilated two wings of the Japanese army. In addition, you go and inform Jing Zhi to promote Su Dao's Reading Force Regiment to the Ninth Army's Type B Reading Brigade, and the rank is promoted to Major General. It was agreed that the Reading Regiment would be withdrawn for rest and recuperation, and that priority should be given to replenishing the troops. Chiang Kai-shek really felt a little happy this time, and hurriedly ordered.
But Chiang Kai-shek can't be blamed, who let the current Chinese armies not have a performance as good as the Reading Force? Besides, Su Dao did not take a stand now, he was previously promoted to the Reading Force, which was just an appetizer, and now Chairman Jiang was also completely moved to list Su Dao as a member of his command, so he ignored the rumors of the outside world and promoted Su Dao's third battalion to the Reading Regiment in a short period of time, and then quickly promoted to the Reading Brigade, from an ordinary German captain to a Chinese colonel, and then to a major general.
Except for the fact that the B Brigade is less than the A type of troops, there is not much difference in the others, of course, just the expansion of the Reading Force Regiment to the B Reading Brigade Chairman Jiang is also very worried, he is afraid that Su Dao will not be obedient, and he has wishful thinking to give him so much power, if Su Dao had already made his position clear, maybe at this time his B Reading Brigade may become the A Reading Brigade.
"Tuanzuo, good news, the Nanjing side has agreed to our regiment's request to withdraw from the battlefield, and promoted our Reading Force Regiment to a Type B Reading Brigade, temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Group Army, and also promoted your military rank to Major General, the headquarters said to let us withdraw to Jiading, where to replenish the missing troops, and the reinforcements will arrive at the dock in five hours."
