Chapter 99 Stunned
"Captain, you've made a fortune. Our regiment has made a fortune this time. Look at the weapons and equipment that the little devil has discarded!"
"Commander, I took a look and found that there are more than a dozen light machine guns alone, as well as many grenade launchers."
"Hahaha, this time the little devil was beaten like a drowned dog. He didn't even have time to destroy the weapons and equipment."
"That's right, so many rifles and the bullet boxes of the little devil's body were not taken away. Our group will make a fortune this time."
After Captain Cheng came over, several cadres immediately came over and said with excited expressions on their faces.
The Japs deployed three squadrons to fight back, with a strength of about 600 men.
However, before the independent regiment troops entered the war, although the 772 regiment was suppressed, it also caused casualties to them.
As Lu Ming led the armored mobile company of the independent regiment into the battle, with strong firepower, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.
There is no statistics on the results at this time, but a rough estimate is that at least more than 300 little Japs have been eliminated.
Of course, some of the little Japs were hit by 13MM caliber machine guns, leaving no intact bodies, which cannot be counted.
"Eighth Route Army troops, you are also the Eighth Route Army. Which section are you from?"
"Impossible, I am not blind, they are wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army!"
"How is this possible? Which army is so rich and equipped with so many iron bastards?"
At this time, Lu Ming had already stepped out of the armored vehicle. When the cadres of the 772nd Regiment saw Lu Ming's gray military uniform, their eyes widened.
Not to mention them, even Captain Cheng was stunned on the spot.
In the battle just now, they knew that without the support of artillery vehicles, the 772nd Regiment might have been defeated.
It was precisely because artillery vehicles participated in the battle in time, launched a powerful fire attack, and suppressed the Japanese army that the 772nd Regiment was able to turn defeat into victory.
Moreover, most of the so many little devils who were killed died at the hands of the other party.
Prior to this, Captain Cheng and other cadres had constantly speculated on the identity of the other party, but they did not dare to think that the other party was also the Eighth Route Army.
"Lu Ming, Chief of Staff of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, was ordered to bring an artillery battery and an armored mobile company to support!"
Lu Ming quickly recognized Captain Cheng and he directly identified himself.
"We are from the Independent Brigade? This...isn't this possible? Didn't the Independent Brigade say it was hit hard before?"
"Yes, the deputy commander-in-chief said it was just a favor... You guys, how could you have so many sophisticated weapons?"
"What the hell is going on? You are supporting us in our battle. There is really no need to deceive us."
The cadres of the 772nd Regiment were completely dumbfounded, especially when Lu Mingliang announced the independent regiment number, they were even more incredulous.
In their impression, the Independent Regiment suffered heavy losses in Yangcun, and the deputy commander-in-chief was furious and directly threatened to make dough.
Even the Independent Group almost lost their identity, but now, everything in front of them makes them confused.
How could an independent regiment with such weapons and equipment and such elite troops be a fool and lose the battle?
"What's going on? The brigade headquarters arranged for you to come here?"
"The report is what our Captain Li means!"
"Our regiment was ordered to contain the Japanese and puppet troops in Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town..."
Lu Ming began to explain the combat situation and told the independent regiment's plan.
Captain Cheng and other cadres listened carefully and asked questions from time to time, while Lu Ming answered completely truthfully.
The Independent Regiment and the 772nd Regiment are both from the same brigade and are absolutely our own people, so there is absolutely no need to hide them.
"I understand, Captain Li won many battles in the New Regiment. Both captains Sakata Nobutetsu and Hase Yuto were killed."
"The Independent Regiment was transformed after Captain Li took over as its leader. This Commander Li is really amazing. He restored the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment in such a short time."
"You have an artillery company with seven artillery pieces. This... even the brigade commander doesn't have so many artillery pieces."
"You have so many machine guns on your vehicles. Can you replenish the bullets? I see that your machine gun shooters are always shooting."
"No wonder the Japanese and puppet troops are anxious. You have captured the Huting stronghold, and they still have so many casualties."
After listening to Lu Ming's report, Captain Cheng and other cadres were shocked.
They were stunned for a long time, and then they started talking at once.
Some cadres even came to the vehicle and looked at the machine guns on it with envy on their faces.
They were even more stunned when they thought that there were seven artillery pieces in one artillery company of the Independent Regiment.
"Director Lu, you have priority in selecting these trophies."
By this time, the 772nd Regiment had already cleaned up the battlefield.
Because the Japs evacuated in a hurry and were attacked from both sides, they discarded a lot of weapons and equipment.
There are more than 200 rifles, more than ten light machine guns, and seven or eight grenade launchers.
As for the ammunition, there were countless, and every bullet box was full.
Lu Ming just wanted to add something, but at this time, the system sound rang.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The host will be rewarded with basic knowledge of communications staff."
"Reward the host with a 65MM mountain cannon, a 92 infantry cannon, and two hundred rounds of Schneider fast artillery shells!"
"Reward the host with 20,000 rounds of ammunition for the Type 96 machine gun, MG34 machine gun and other weapons!"
Lu Ming checked it and found that this was his reward for completing the task of annihilating a puppet army regiment and a Japanese army brigade.
Lu Ming had previously killed the 18th Regiment of the Security Army, but the Japanese army had never completed a single brigade.
But looking at it now, the system requirement is not to annihilate in formation, but to annihilate the number of Japanese and puppet troops.
Otherwise, some of the 18th Regiment of the Security Army might have slipped through the net, and they cannot be considered completely annihilated.
But these ammunition are what Lu Ming needs most right now.
With the help of the system, these ammunition are extracted and mixed with the loot.
Lu Ming quickly added them to the artillery company and armored mobile company.
As for other problems, Lu Ming doesn't need to think about them at all, the system will solve them.
After all, the system can bring Lu Ming here, and can also continuously provide weapons and equipment to eliminate other people's suspicions. It is very simple for it.
Perhaps due to systemic reasons, the soldiers always believed that the weapons and equipment were captured by the Japs and puppet troops.
Of course, Lu Ming tried his best to make it explainable, such as ten wheeled chariots.
This is when Lu Ming led the commando team to move through the defense area of the 358th Regiment and discovered that it was a vehicle belonging to the Shanxi-Sui Army.
So until now, both the soldiers and Li Yunlong think that Lu Ming "successfully" came from the Jin-Sui Army.
Both Lu Ming's troops and the 772nd Regiment began to replenish their ammunition.
Commander Cheng knew that the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay. He immediately discussed countermeasures with Lu Ming.
Wang Chengzhu's artillery battery began to secretly approach the Japanese artillery towers and bunkers with the assistance of the 772nd Regiment.
After discussing the specific combat plan, each department began to act separately.
At this time, a reinforced brigade of the Japanese army has suffered successive losses in battles, and only more than a thousand people are left.
Captain Shao Zuo didn't dare to attack anymore. He tried to rely on gun towers and bunkers to hold on.
But with the artillery battery, armored mobile company, and their gun towers and bunkers that Lu Ming carried, there was a way to solve it.
Two Schneider 65MM mountain cannons, four Type 92 infantry guns, and one Schneider fast cannon for close-range shelling.
