The Japanese attack has come to an end. The bloody battle triggered by a reconnaissance team caused heavy losses to both sides. The three troops on both sides of the Nu River were each licking their wounds and did not dare to make any other moves for the time being. This caused the original heavy artillery fire.

There was a brief calm on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

The veterinarian and medical company stayed at the Yushi Field Hospital, because most of the wounded from the Sichuan Army Corps were here, and it was convenient for the medical company to take care of them. After all, the place here is spacious and the environment is relatively clean, and it is more convenient for the recovery of the wounded.

help.

Xing Fuquan's second battalion was placed at Zhongbatan, and the third regiment of Yu Division was basically wiped out. Yu Xiaoqing was unable to defend the upper reaches. If the troops were divided, the defensive strength of the lower water line would be dwarfed by comparison. In this regard,

The garrison of the Sichuan Army was exactly what he wanted.

But Liao Mingyu's help is not for nothing. I can help you garrison, but I have to provide ammunition, right? After all, your Master Yu is considered rich, so I have to give you some wages for working part-time, right?

After this battle, the entire Sichuan Army's ammunition has been depleted. Zhao Gongming's supplies have not been delivered yet, and the system has been upgrading in the past two days and cannot be contacted. It really seems that the Sichuan Army is now in a very critical situation.

time.

Ammunition, ammunition, without bullets, the gun becomes a fire stick. If the Japanese army attacks again, will they have to carry bayonets? So the next day, Liao Mingyu brought his people over to settle the score with Yu Xiaoqing.

"Based on the current situation, it is not impossible for the Japanese army to attack again. Commander Yu, think about it, Zhongba Beach has become a key point, like a loophole in the entire Nujiang defense line."

Liao Mingyu stood inside the Yu Division headquarters, pointing at a map and talking endlessly. In front of him, Yu Xiaoqing's clouded face seemed to be dripping with water.

"It's okay to help you defend, but our army's ammunition consumption is really serious. I won't argue with you about artillery shells. You have to give me 300,000 rounds of 79 bullets, and 5,000 grenades. By the way, there are also heavy machine guns.

At least 20 of them, our heavy machine guns were blown up a lot in yesterday's battle, and you have to send people to arrange cover on both wings."

He needed a machine gun to run out of bullets, and he needed flank protection to run out of machine guns, which made Yu Xiaoqing's face darken. He finally couldn't help it anymore: "Commander Liao, why don't you go and grab it? Go and see how many heavy machine guns I have in one division."

There aren’t that many bullets, so my own troops have to use them.”

"Then there's no need to discuss it. You can figure it out on your own in Zhongbatan. I'm not a saint. I'll help you twice before I help you." Liao Mingyu simply gave up his choice and casually summoned the communications troops:

"Contact the Second Battalion Commander and immediately exit the Zhongbatan position and return to Jiqipo!"

"Oh, Captain Liao, don't be impatient. If it's easy to discuss, let's talk slowly."

The peacemaker Tang Ji quickly stepped forward to comfort him, and then turned his head and glared at Yu Xiaoqing, indicating that he should put the overall situation first.

Yu Xiaoqing was holding back his anger. If it weren't for the fact that he had no choice but to rely on the Sichuan Army Corps to help with the garrison, he really didn't want to deal with this shameless guy. Yesterday, he looked like a nationalist, but today he behaves like a common citizen.

.

Liao Mingyu didn't think much about it. What happened yesterday was called an emergency, and even if the lips were dead and the teeth were cold, it would be necessary. After this, it would be a long-term cooperation. If you don't set the rules first, will you suffer a loss?

"The amounts mentioned by Captain Liao are too big, and Yu can't do it. Just...a little less." Yu Xiaoqing sighed and said helplessly.

"At least 300,000 rounds of bullets, 800 rifles, 20 light machine guns, 10 heavy machine guns, and you can take the grenades. Don't forget that I haven't argued with you about the batch of medicine in the hospital. If it weren't for our Sichuan Army Corps

Do you want half of your hundreds of wounded to die?" Liao Mingyu continued to speak loudly, saying that they were all for nothing anyway.

"Captain Liao, this is a bit difficult for us."

…

The two waves of people went back and forth for a long time but still couldn't reach a consensus. Seeing that Yu Xiaoqing's bottom line was almost touched, Liao Mingyu decided to go to the hospital again.

I heard from Chen Jize that the bearded commander of the Third Regiment of the Yu Division was from the 29th Army and was quite fierce in fighting. Now he was seriously injured and lying on the hospital bed. He had some intentions for this officer, and while bargaining

I took him with me as well.

Fan Xiangwu was not from his direct lineage, but was an officer arranged by Shangfeng. Now the Third Regiment has ceased to exist in name only, and he will not be used again even if it is reorganized in the future. For the sake of the batch of medicines, Yu Xiaoqing simply took the remaining members of the Third Regiment with him.

Dozens of people packed it together and gave it to Liao Mingyu.

In the end, Yu Xiaoqing agreed to give 200,000 rounds of ammunition and 10,000 yuan for military expenses. He did not give a single gun, so he had to keep it to rebuild the third regiment. However, he gave 3,000 grenades. In addition, Fan Xiangwu, the commander of the third regiment, and his guards

Even the remaining 30 or so men from the Northwest Army refused to let go.

Liao Mingyu can accept these supplies, but he doesn't like the guns. Anyway, when Zhao Gongming comes over next time, the remaining two battalions of the Sichuan Army should change their equipment. The main reason is that they are short of bullets. With these 200,000 bullets, they can support it.

some time.

Finally, Liao Mingyu led the soldiers of the Sichuan Army back to Jiqipo. He also had a lot to do. After this battle, there were also vacancies in the establishment of the Sichuan Army, and many affairs had to be rearranged.

The third battalion of Chen Jize suffered the most casualties. The third battalion had the worst equipment. Bayonet attacks and Japanese shelling caused serious attrition of the troops. Only one-third of the more than 1,200 men left the battlefield, and they were almost disabled.

The establishment was reduced. The Guard Battalion and the Second Battalion also suffered some casualties, and the First Battalion was in relatively good condition. The entire Sichuan Army suffered a total of about 1,100 casualties.

In comparison, the Yu Division's situation was even more tragic. The third regiment was directly wiped out, and the other two main regiments also suffered a lot of losses. A total of more than 2,000 people were lost.

Ayi's fourth battalion transferred 400 recruits to supplement the third battalion, and then transferred 200 veterans from the first and second battalions to the third battalion. The remaining 300-plus recruits from the fourth battalion were supplemented by the vacancies in the first and second battalions.

This arrangement can ensure that the combat effectiveness of the troops is balanced to the greatest extent.

After the hundreds of wounded in the hospital recovered and returned to the army, the three main battalions of the Sichuan Army could be restored to full strength. However, it was a bitter experience for Ah Yi, as the battalion commander became the polished commander within two days of being in charge.

In the next few days, none of the three parties made much movement, especially the Japanese troops on the west bank, who huddled on the Nantianmen and continued to be their pangolins.

No one gained from this battle. Nearly 3,000 casualties and more than a dozen field guns were destroyed, and morale plummeted. The huge losses made Takeuchi Mountain almost crazy.

Impulse is the devil, and Takeuchi can be considered a rational person. He knows that at times like this, he must stay calm. This risky attack has shown everything. The Chinese on the other side are far stronger than he imagined.

Taking advantage of this period of calm, he let his troops proceed as planned and continued to hollow out the mountain of Nantianmen to connect his fortress and underground traffic channels.

The loss of the artillery position gave him a wake-up call. He now hated that small Chinese force, and sent many patrol teams to patrol around Nantianmen day and night. He even attacked those to the west of Nantianmen.
