Chapter 462: Can't Let Them Go (Second Update!) )
After daybreak, the battlefield finally returned to tranquility after a night of hustle and bustle.
In the face of a large number of troops, everyone in the temporary command headquarters had a solemn face, stared at each other with big eyes, and did not say a word.
In the end, it was the head of the guard regiment Zhou who broke this atmosphere: "Commander Wang, this battle has been fought very well. ”
"To tell you the truth, when I came, I listened to the introduction of the head of the military region on the enemy situation and the tasks that the guard regiment needed to complete, and I was thinking that this time the guard regiment was finished. In the face of the Japanese puppet army of more than 10,000 people, it is a question whether the two regiments can keep the arsenal, let alone defeat them! ”
"When it comes out, your actions last night gave me hope of holding the arsenal!"
"If nothing else, just a reinforced battalion under my command, with more than 4,000 puppet troops in circles in the forest. In the end, although less than 200 people made it back alive, most of the weapons and ammunition, especially the heavy machine guns, were lost. However, after several hours of fighting, the Japanese puppet army killed and wounded by us must have been no less than five hundred! ”
"Commander Wang, there are even more Japanese puppet troops eliminated there!"
"Through the interrogation of the captured prisoners of the Imperial Allied Army, we know that in the northeast corner of the Japanese puppet army station, not only a Japanese army is stationed in the northeast corner, but also an infantry brigade and a regiment of the Imperial Allied Army, with a total strength of nearly 3,000 people!"
"Yesterday's artillery fire was so fierce that it almost leveled the devil's station. Coupled with the fact that the attacking troops were killed, more than 3,000 puppet troops, even if they were not completely annihilated, it would be almost the same. What's more, we also destroyed all the reserve ammunition of the Japanese puppet army! ”
"Commander Wang, when I came, there were nearly 2,500 people in the military district guard regiment, and now I bring the wounded, although there are less than 500 people. But I don't mean to blame you at all, if it weren't for you, let me command the battle myself, even if the whole regiment fights, the guard regiment will fight down a maximum of 2,000 Japanese puppet troops, and it can't blow up the reserve ammunition of the Japanese puppet army! ”
Wang Ping, who was silent, finally spoke: "Second battalion commander, how many people are left in our garrison regiment!" ”
"Plus the wounded and there are 296 left, of which only 176 can continue to fight! Because the devil's artillery fire was so fierce, many wounded didn't have time to retreat! The second battalion commander Yi Jun replied with a heavy face.
Wang Ping's face sank suddenly, and he replied with a frown: "That is to say, with the military district guard regiment, our two regiments lost more than 3,000 people last night, and they were all sacrifices!" ”
"Yes, Commander!" Yi Jun didn't want to answer this question, and hesitated for a long time before answering it.
At this time, Regiment Commander Zhou said in a timely manner: "Although the casualties are very large, the results are also very large.
"Commander Wang, it is preliminarily inferred that last night, we killed at least five thousand puppet troops, and more than half of them were real devils!"
"What's more, we destroyed the devil's reserve ammunition, and if the devil still wants to attack the arsenal today, it's a fool's dream!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rush of footsteps reached the ears of several people. The platoon commander of the reconnaissance platoon of the garrison regiment rushed in with an excited face.
"Commander, good news, the devil didn't attack the arsenal today!"
"From a distance, it seems to be gathering the remains of fallen soldiers, packing excess weapons and ammunition, and preparing to retreat!"
"Are you sure!" The heavy expression on Wang Ping's face finally changed slightly, and he stared at the other party and asked rhetorically.
"I'm sure, I saw with my own eyes that the devils packed the extra weapons into the car, and the mountain artillery began to hang up in the back of the car!" The reconnaissance platoon commander immediately affirmed.
"Also, I also saw that the remaining puppet troops in the station were arranged by the devils to collect the scattered bullets on the battlefield, they must not be irritable, so they took the initiative to collect scattered bullets that they usually don't look at more!"
"The devils have finally retreated, and the arsenal has been saved! Commander Wang, I didn't expect that we would have completed a task that many people seemed impossible. As long as the arsenal is saved, those sacrificed soldiers did not die in vain, and they died as they deserved! ”
The devil withdrew his army, and Wang Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But as soon as he thought of the huge casualties of the troops last night, the anger in Wang Ping's stomach rose up.
Supporting losses has never been Wang Ping's style of fighting.
With the loss of so many troops this time, it is impossible for Wang Ping to have no fire.
frowned, and then stared at the head of the Zhou group next to him, who was still excited, and asked.
"Commander Zhou, the devil retreats, and it stands to reason that our task is complete. However, I don't want the devil to leave so safely, why should I leave something behind. We have lost so much that we can't leave anything from the devils, that's too much of a loss! ”
"!" Head Zhou gritted his teeth and replied.
The reason for beating the water dogs is also very clear to Commander Zhou, although the Japanese puppet army has not yet reached the point of beating the water dogs. However, they have a fatal flaw, ammunition!
The lack of ammunition meant that the longer these Japanese puppet troops stayed in the hinterland of the base area, the more dangerous it became.
If you can take advantage of the fatal flaw of the devil, maybe you can really let the devil leave something.
With some expectations, Commander Zhou immediately stared at Wang Ping and replied: "There are more than 360 people in the guard regiment who can fight, and now these people are all under the command of Commander Wang, and I am the same!" ”
"I died so many soldiers last night, I am sorry for those sacrificed soldiers if I don't let the devil leave anything!"
The Japanese puppet army garrison was full of huge craters from 120 mm caliber mortar shells.
For more than 7,000 days, the puppet army cleaned up for a whole morning before thousands of corpses were sorted out.
The corpses of the Japanese themselves, all the sparks were collected and easily transported back.
As for the corpses of the Imperial Allied Army and the corpses left on the battlefield by the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army directly chose to ignore them and intended to leave them to the Eighth Route Army to deal with.
In the temporary headquarters, Major General Yoshino's face was very ugly, staring at the chief of staff, and his eyes were full of murderous aura and sharpness as if he could kill.
"Eight Grid Tooth Road, when did the Imperial Army of Japan fall to such a point, and the riflemen did not even have a hundred bullets per capita. If you run into the main force of the Eighth Route Army, this bullet will not be able to hold out even half a day of high-intensity fighting! ”
The chief of staff replied stubbornly: "General, the ammunition consumed by the troops in the sortie last night was too much. Because it was night, in the face of danger, we could only counterattack with the most powerful firepower, suppress! By the time the troops returned, the ammunition they had brought out was almost used! ”
"The ammunition in everyone's hands now is still the scattered ammunition collected by the Imperial Cooperative Army from the baggage force station!"
Seeing that the anger on Major General Yoshino's face was quickly replaced by helplessness, the chief of staff immediately suggested.
"Your Excellency, General, I think we should withdraw our troops immediately and join the nearest Imperial Army!"
"During the day we have air superiority, and the Tsuchihachi Road will definitely not dare to attack us. But at night it was different, once the soldiers ran out of ammunition, then in the face of the Tubalu attack, we could only fight with bayonets! ”
