Chapter 217 A new group of tens of thousands of people!
Li Yunlong said: "Okay, then there is no need for a flamethrower, but if I capture you, don't try to keep it all to yourself."
After hearing the words of the regiment leader, the three fire-breathing soldiers who were about to follow immediately stopped and turned back.
"Do you think everyone is like you?" Cheng Shifa sneered, "I always eat more and occupy more."
At this time, soldiers from the 3rd Company of the 772nd Regiment had already rushed to the large bunker.
Some soldiers continued to attack and charge into the Japanese command post, and sporadic fighting broke out.
There are still a small number of Japanese soldiers in the Japanese command post who are stubbornly resisting.
Some soldiers then ran around the large bunker to the rear gate.
A soldier raised his foot and kicked open the small door of the bunker. A pungent smoke and the smell of blood rushed towards them, and the soldiers quickly turned around to avoid it.
After a while, no movement was heard inside, and no Japanese came out.
The soldiers rushed in with their guns in hand. Through their dim vision, they saw that the bunker was in a mess, with minced meat everywhere, and a strong smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of blood.
Even if there is a complete body, it is completely dead.
There were also a few wounded Japanese soldiers who survived the two explosions, but they were already injured, basically missing arms and legs, and were not far from death.
The soldiers of the 3rd Company of the 772nd Regiment quickly killed the Japanese who were lucky enough to survive.
Soon the soldiers were surprised to find that although most of the light and heavy machine guns were blown to pieces, the three cannons were still intact.
When Itatsu Daizuo designed this large bunker, he built independent armored fortresses for the three cannon emplacements. The armored fortress was more than one meter thinner than the walls of the bunker.
Therefore, although the Japanese artillery was operating inside the bunker, when the cannon extended the barrel into the firing hole, the gun barrel was between the walls of the bunker, so it was not blown up.
"Report to the captain that the battle is over!"
"A large amount of ammunition and food were seized in the Japanese command post."
"There are also three cannons captured in the bunker. These cannons are still intact."
The 3rd company commander reported to Cheng Shifa.
Hearing this, Cheng Shifa showed a wealthy smile on his face, and immediately ordered: "Send me an order for the whole battalion to go to the Japanese command post and move out all the military supplies!"
"yes!"
The 3rd company commander turned around and ran to deliver the order to the 1st battalion commander.
For this Eighth Route Army's siege, In fact, Itazu Naozumi had already prepared.
The command post stores weapons, ammunition and food sufficient for hundreds of people to last for a year.
I want to rely on the city walls and the large fortresses built to fight against the trapped beasts for a long time.
But now all these grains, weapons and ammunition have fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
The next time comes for the distribution of spoils.
The brigade commander did not rob, but divided all the weapons and ammunition captured equally among the four regiments participating in the attack on the county town.
Kong Jie and Ding Wei did not take the four or five cannons captured this time, but took some more ammunition and food.
These cannons were given to the 772nd Regiment and the New Third Regiment, and together with the receipt of food, weapons and ammunition, these two regiments suddenly became a wealthy army.
The 385th Brigade also quickly captured Liao County and captured a lot of goods.
The Battle of Yuliao ended with a great victory.
…
Early the next morning.
Just after breakfast, Zhao Gang found Li Yunlong at the regiment headquarters.
"The statistics of the seizures in the Moshiwa battle have been completed." Zhao Gang smiled broadly: "Our seizures this time are very rich."
"More than 1,200 38 rifles and bayonets."
"Type 92, 23 crooked machine guns."
"There are more than 200,000 rounds of Arisaka rifle ammunition and more than 3,000 melon grenades."
"There are dozens of grenades and more than a thousand grenades."
"There are also a dozen sabers, bastard boxes and some pistol bullets."
"It's a pity that several tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed by artillery shells, otherwise we could have captured a few tanks."
Speaking of this, Zhao Gang sounded a little regretful. So far, the entire Eighth Route Army does not have a single tank.
If the new regiment captured and then equipped at least one tank, that would be really awesome.
The equipment of a Japanese regiment was very luxurious, but unfortunately most of the weapons and ammunition, along with most of the Japanese soldiers, were destroyed in the artillery fire.
"There's nothing to be sorry for."
"Lao Li didn't like the kid's bean tank. He killed it with one rocket launch. It was as thin as paper. I didn't even want it if it was given to me."
Li Yunlong waved his hand and said.
"Just brag." Zhao Gang snorted, "You can't even look down on tanks, why don't you go to the sky?"
"You're right." Li Yunlong suddenly laughed and said, "Old Li really wants to go to heaven, so a few planes will be enough."
Later, Li Yunlong asked: "How many casualties did our regiment have?"
180 large-caliber heavy machine guns and 30 tons of medicine will be available soon.
Li Yunlong had no interest in the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese.
There are still about 1,000 Japanese weapons and ammunition in the warehouse of the New Regiment, and there are also more than 30 crooked guns and Type 92 weapons. These weapons are used to equip the county brigade.
"There are not many casualties." Zhao Gang replied, "91 soldiers were killed and 46 were injured, including 15 seriously injured."
After a pause, Zhao Gang sighed and said: "The combat effectiveness of our regiment is getting stronger and stronger. We annihilated 3,000 enemies and lost 150 of our own. In the entire Chinese army's battle sequence, no unit has achieved such a dazzling record. At Niangziguan, 115
The division launched a sudden attack on the unsuspecting Japanese transport troops, but it was just a draw, with a casualty ratio of almost 1:1."
"That's different." Li Yunlong said, "In the battle of Pingxingguan, although the 115th Division dealt with Japanese baggage troops, they were the Japanese baggage troops of the 5th Division. Their combat effectiveness was not comparable to the second-rate Japanese troops we dealt with the night before.
.”
"Furthermore, although the 115th Division has a large number of people and has advantages in terrain and numbers, it does not have an advantage in equipment."
"And there are Japanese planes in the sky to support us."
"We used more than two artillery regiments of artillery alone last night."
"Furthermore, in addition to the firepower of the cannons last night, there was also the firepower of rifles, machine guns, and machine guns. Our regiment can at least hold up against the other four main regiments."
Zhao Gang immediately laughed and said: "According to your calculation, it actually took two artillery regiments and four infantry regiments to win this battle."
"But don't say it yet." Zhao Gang changed the topic and said, "After this battle, the morale of our new regiment has been significantly improved."
"Yes!" Li Yunlong nodded, "The best way to improve the morale of the soldiers is to win the battle!"
"But..." Li Yunlong's tone suddenly became serious, "It is a good thing to improve morale, but we must do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers. We cannot be complacent, careless, and not take the Japanese in our eyes just because we have won a few battles. That is
There will be big problems.”
Fortunately, the veterans of the new regiment have seen the ferocity and strong fighting power of the Japanese.
But those recruits who have just joined the new regiment are basically fighting with the wind going smoothly.
Over time, there will definitely be a lack of understanding and understanding of the Japanese army, and the wrong idea will arise in the mind that the Japanese are simply vulnerable.
After all, although the New Regiment and even the entire 386th Brigade are now richer than before, the gap in strength is still too big compared to the Japanese army.
"Yeah!" Zhao Gang nodded solemnly, "I'll call the instructors from each company over for a meeting at noon to focus on this matter."
After a pause, Zhao Gang changed the topic: "Should we hand over all these weapons and ammunition to our superiors?"
"We will keep half of the weapons and ammunition seized this time, and hand over the rest to the brigade headquarters!" Li Yunlong thought for a moment about the use of this batch of weapons and ammunition, and responded directly.
Zhao Gang looked puzzled: "Leave half of it? Don't we still have more than 1,000 guns in the warehouse? I don't think it's better to hand over all the weapons and ammunition seized this time to the brigade headquarters."
Li Yuanlong said: "Yes, but it's not necessary. All the weapons and ammunition we captured after capturing Yangquan were given to the brigade headquarters, including more than 3,000 guns and more than 3 million rounds of ammunition."
"In addition to the more than 500 guns we handed over this time, even if the brigade commander captures half of Yangquan and hands over the other half to the division headquarters, it will be enough for the brigade commander to expand two more regiments."
"The remaining 500 or so guns plus the original ones will all be used to equip our county brigade."
Zhao Gang insisted: "I think it is better to hand over all the more than 1,000 guns, weapons and ammunition to the brigade commander, and ask for militiamen from the brigade commander, and add them to the county brigade. This will not only enhance the combat effectiveness of the county brigade, but also save Chen Dugu from going around.
Go recruit troops, wouldn’t that kill two birds with one stone?”
"This is a good suggestion!" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, "Let's do this. Hand over all the weapons and ammunition seized this time, and ask the brigade commander to allocate a thousand militiamen to us."
There are more than 20,000 militiamen in the entire Taiyue Military Region, and the brigade commander cannot give the militia to Li Yunlong without restraint, otherwise someone will definitely have objections.
But if you take the initiative to hand over a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and even make some modest demands, others won't be able to fault you.
Li Yunlong said: "The next stage of our new regiment's work tasks is mainly to develop and expand. The stronger our combat effectiveness, the greater the business we can receive."
"The bigger the business we receive, the more we can make a fortune. Let's get rich first and drive our brothers to get rich later."
"Although in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness, our New Regiment is the trump card of the Eighth Route Army."
"But in terms of organization, our new regiment is still a basic regiment. How many troops we can develop depends entirely on our ability."
"Even if our new regiment grows to tens of thousands, our superiors and headquarters won't say anything."
"A regiment grows to tens of thousands of people?" Zhao Gang said with a smile, "Why don't you go to heaven?"
However, there was also a hint of expectation in Zhao Gang's smile.
If that day comes, needless to say, even if there is a new regiment of about 20,000 people, the soldiers will be armed with first-class weapons and equipment.
That combat effectiveness wouldn't be worse than that of an elite Japanese division, right?
