The 3rd Infantry Platoon plus a heavy machine gun squad had a total strength of more than eighty men. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After rounds of thunderstorms by the guards, less than thirty people retreated alive.

Combined with the remaining baggage troops and guard troops around Aoki, the total strength is less than sixty people.

What's more, half of these people are also technical arms that don't have much combat effectiveness.

Although they brought back two heavy machine guns, three grenadiers, and a crooked handle. If it is used for defense, the firepower must be more than rubbing. But there is no need to think about the attack, without combat troops, no matter how powerful the firepower is, it is impossible to destroy the enemy.

The moment he saw the retreating troops, Aoki was desperate, and he also broke off the idea of taking the divisional headquarters of the First Army of the Eighth Route Army by himself.

But at this moment, Tubalu, who had been despised by himself and chased and beaten by himself, actually chased and beat the back of the butt of the retreating troops.

Because the two heavy machine guns were still on the way to retreat, it was not possible to provide fire cover for the retreating troops. Dozens of dirt and eight roads chased and killed their subordinates, which can be described by the four words unscrupulous.

"Eight Grid Tooth Road, when did the Imperial Army of Japan fall to such a point, and it was chased and beaten by the Eight Roads of Earth! No, I'm going to fight back, fight back right away, teach them a lesson! "Aoki is like an angry lion, scolding loudly!

The vice-captain next to him still had some sense, and hurriedly reminded: "The captain is angry." We don't have enough troops, and even if we want to fight back, there will be no one! Tubalu definitely wants to annihilate us all here, we can't become the first formed squadron in the wing to be wiped out by Tubalu, otherwise! We will definitely become the laughing stock of the Imperial army! ”

For the military! The honor of a soldier is above all else, and Captain Aoki is no exception. Otherwise, he would not have only led an infantry squadron to go deep alone, wanting to win the battle of destroying the divisional headquarters of the First Army of the Eighth Route Army alone!

Therefore, as soon as the vice-captain finished speaking, he hesitated!

Then he ordered loudly: "Retreat, order the troops to continue to retreat, the terrain here is not suitable for defense, we can't be completely annihilated here!" ”

"There is a small high ground on the road six hundred meters from here, which is suitable for holding on and waiting for reinforcements, allowing the troops to retreat there for defense. Wait for the reinforcements sent by the wing commander to arrive, and then move the attack and destroy their headquarters! ”

"Your Excellency the Captain is wise!" The vice-captain said with a sigh of relief.

As soon as the Japanese retreated, the weapons and ammunition they left on the battlefield were the guard company's.

Coupled with the fact that the guard company had not yet eliminated the remnants of the devil in a short period of time, Zeng Quan had just chased out less than 300 meters before Wang Ping called him back.

Then let people clean up the battlefield while reinforcing the position.

At this time, the ambush battle of the main force of the First Army Division against the devil's encirclement and suppression troops had begun! Because Wang Ping appeared in the sky, he brought back a lot of weapons and ammunition for the first division that lacked guns and ammunition! The whole ambush battle went very well.

In less than two hours, more than 300 devils were wiped out!

And to the rescue of this reinforced squadron! The devils of the three squadrons nearby were desperately reinforcing and fighting with the reinforcements of the 1st Division, and they were unable to reinforce Captain Aoki at all.

By the time the ambush battle under the personal command of Yang Chengwu ended, the main forces of the First Army Division began to withdraw from the battlefield one after another, and Captain Aoki, who was stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, still did not receive a single reinforcement.

And as soon as the main force retreats, there is no need for the guard company to hold on any longer, and disappear into the battlefield with it!

At this time, the expression on Zeng Quan's face can already be described as excited!

Because the troops captured a large amount of weapons and equipment. Although many weapons were destroyed in the rain of grenades, those that were intact alone were enough for the guard company to expand by one more platoon, and the firepower increased by thirty percent, or even fifty percent!

Zeng Quan, who was very happy to run in front of Wang Ping, immediately reported: "Company commander, the results of the battle have been counted!" ”

"The devils left a total of 78 corpses in front of our position, including a second lieutenant squad leader, a whole squad and a half devils! We ourselves lost 39 people, of whom 27 were killed. The devil's marksmanship is too accurate, either he is directly shot in the head or hit in the chest by the devil and retreats, or he is hit with a hole in his body, and he can return to the army after being cured! ”

"39 to 78, overall, we still won!" Wang Ping said with a long sigh of relief!

Because the base area was newly established, there were not so many people joining the Eighth Route Army, and there were not so many new recruits in the military sub-division to supplement the troops. Therefore, what Wang Ping was most worried about was that the casualties of the guard company were too large, and they could not be replenished in a short period of time, and there was no way to restore their combat effectiveness.

Now it seems that I am a little too worried. Less than forty casualties are still within their own tolerance.

But at this moment, Zeng Quan's words changed sharply and continued: "Company commander, don't make a mistake, this is just a loss from a frontal blockade battle. We also lost a lot of people in the sneak attack on the devils in front, all of them added up to more than sixty people, including 46 comrades who died alone, including a platoon commander and two squad leaders! ”

The good mood on Wang Ping's face disappeared suddenly, and he asked with a calm face: "In other words, there are only about sixty people in the guard company who can still move now." In less than a day, we lost more than half of our troops! ”

Zeng Quan hurriedly comforted: "Company commander, the loss is big, but it is not without gain. ”

"The remaining sixty people, plus the wounded brothers, now all have the appearance of veterans. Despite the small number of troops, the combat effectiveness of our guard company has not decreased! ”

"There are also seizures, because the devils retreated too quickly, and the weapons were not taken away before they could be taken away, they were all captured by us. The current guard company, even if it expands the army, does not need to worry about weapons! ”

"At present, the company has a total of one heavy machine gun, five boxes of ammunition, three grenadiers, 25 special grenades, five light machine guns with crooked handles, 129 38 large covers, and more than 15,000 rounds of ammunition. In addition, there are 9 pistols, bullets are not counted, and 128 grenades! ”

"With these weapons and ammunition, as long as there are soldiers, we can expand the guard company into a reinforced company in a very short time!"

Wang Ping's face looked a lot better, but he still said regretfully: "There are a lot of weapons, but there is less ammunition." In particular, grenades and ordinary bullets for grenadiers can withstand a high-intensity battle. ”

At this time, Zeng Quan despised Wang Ping very much!

"Company commander, when did you become so arrogant, so many bullets are too little. Do you know how many bullets there are in the second regiment of the newly formed military district? More than a thousand people, with an average of five rounds of ammunition per ordinary soldier. Only a small percentage of veterans and sharpshooters were armed with ten or twenty rounds. One of our companies is almost catching up with their regiment of bullets, are you still too little? ”

Seeing the excitement and pride on Zeng Quan's face, Wang Ping didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought!
