There is no mercy in war, it is just life-and-death killing.
Looking at the battlefield like a slaughterhouse, Li Yunlong, who has experienced hundreds of battles, his emotions and mentality are as stable as an old dog.
Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu walked up to Li Yunlong holding a rifle with a bloody bayonet, gave him a military salute and said.
"Report to the regimental commander that one intact Type 92 infantry gun and two Type 97 90mm mortars have been captured!"
Li Yunlong's expression changed and he asked: "How many rounds are there?"
Before leaving Cangyunling, the New Regiment captured one Type 92 infantry gun and two mortars. Li Yunlong was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.
Li Yunlong once went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting and saw that the brigade commander had captured a Type 92 infantry cannon. The brigade commander was extremely happy, but the cannon only had five rounds.
However, the new regiment now has 15 mortars, 1 field gun, and more than 3,000 rounds of artillery shells.
1 infantry gun and 2 mortars are nothing more than drizzle.
But then again, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still flesh, let alone the three cannons that are intact.
Zheng Yu replied: "More than 50 rounds of 70mm artillery shells and more than 70 rounds of 90mm mortar shells."
"How come there are only more than 120 rounds left?" Li Yunlong asked, "The enemy's artillery probably didn't have time to set up, right?"
Zheng Yu said: "The power of the clustered tumor was so great that it blew up a truck transporting artillery shells for the Japanese. All the artillery shells exploded, and one infantry gun and two mortars were blown into parts.
Even if you take it back and repair it, you won’t be able to repair it.”
"If it can't be repaired, forget it." Li Yunlong ordered, "Hurry up and lead the second battalion to clean the battlefield, count the casualties, the number of enemies killed and the seizures, and report to me when you return to the station."
"Yes!" Zheng Yu straightened up and walked towards the direction of the second camp.
About half an hour later, the new regiment finished cleaning the battlefield, and Li Yunlong led the soldiers toward the base area with the wounded and captured items.
It was almost dark in the afternoon, and the main force returned to Yangcun.
Political commissar Zhao Gang paced back and forth at the entrance of the village, waiting anxiously.
Seeing a new regiment of soldiers appear on the path in front of the village, Zhao Gang hurried up to meet them and asked the soldier at the front: "Where is the regiment leader?"
"Report to Political Commissar Zhao, the regimental leader is behind!"
Zhao Gang found Li Yunlong in the crowd, looked up and down and asked: "Captain, are you okay?"
"What can happen to me?" Li Yunlong asked, "Isn't this good?"
After a pause, Li Yunlong asked tentatively: "Political Commissar Zhao, did you report our ambush of the Okazaki Brigade to your superiors?"
Zhao Gang said: "No, I am waiting for you to come back, commander, and report the battle losses and seizures together."
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang with a pleasing look. He was a little surprised that this young scholar did not take this opportunity to report to the brigade commander.
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Well, let's go back to the regiment headquarters and wait until the second battalion commander compiles statistics on battle losses and seizures."
…
In the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang looked a little stunned after hearing what Li Yunlong said.
At the cost of less than 100 casualties, more than 700 members of the Okazaki Brigade were wiped out!
The New Regiment annihilated an entire Japanese brigade! This was a brigade, a fully-organized Japanese brigade!
Since the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, although there have been examples of such battles in the entire Chinese battlefield, they are definitely not many!
What's even more rare is that the casualty ratio is less than 1:7. This time the new regiment may become famous again...
Zhao Gang actually wanted to stop Li Yunlong last night, but he held back and did not intervene militarily, otherwise there would not have been such a big victory.
In fact, Zhao Gang didn't know that he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. In terms of military command, Li Yunlong would never listen to him.
However, this does not prevent Zhao Gang from changing his views and impressions of Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong has not attended military school for a day, but the tactical command ability he has displayed is definitely better than most people who have attended military school.
He can be called a military genius.
"Political Commissar Zhao?" Li Yunlong shouted when he saw Zhao Gang stunned.
"Oh." Zhao Gang came back to his senses, "Captain, what did you just say?"
"Don't you want to tell me about the casualties and captures of the attack on the Huting stronghold? Let's start."
Zhao Gang took out a compiled list from his pocket and read.
"Seventeen soldiers died and 35 soldiers were injured in the Dahuting stronghold. The seriously injured have been sent to the field hospital."
"We killed more than 190 Japanese soldiers, more than 120 puppet soldiers, and captured 65 puppet soldiers."
"More than 50,000 kilograms of grain, canned goods and other materials were seized."
"Two heavy machine guns, five light machine guns, and more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition."
"6 grenades, 2 mortars, and more than 200 mortar shells."
"Type 38 rifle, more than 210 rifles made in Hanyang."
Li Yunlong nodded slightly when he heard this. It was good to be able to seize so much food, weapons and ammunition by destroying the Huting stronghold.
Because the heavy machine gun firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops was basically in bunkers and gun towers.
The Japanese bunkers and gun towers were basically destroyed by field artillery.
The armor-piercing projectiles penetrated the masonry and entered the turret and exploded. In addition to the Japanese and puppet soldiers being killed on the spot, the light and heavy machine guns and the ammunition stored inside were also basically blown up.
The grain depot was hit by several 60mm mortar rounds, but most of the grain, canned goods and other materials stored inside were still intact.
Li Yunlong then looked at Zheng Yu and said: "Second Battalion Commander, report the casualties, captures and deaths of the enemy in the battle at Guaizi Mountain."
"Yes, commander." Zheng Yu dictated, "In the battle at Guaizi Mountain, our new regiment sacrificed 38 soldiers and injured 46 soldiers. The seriously injured have been sent to the field hospital."
"More than 700 Japanese soldiers were killed. The specific number of kills has not been calculated because many Japanese soldiers were blown into pieces."
"Since we can't count, we can just make a rough count." Li Yunlong nodded and asked, "How many weapons and ammunition were seized?"
"A total of 4 heavy machine guns, 8 light machine guns, more than 410 rifles, and a total of more than 50,000 rounds of ammunition were seized."
"One Type 92 infantry gun, two Type 97 90mm mortars, and more than 120 rounds of artillery shells."
Although the Okazaki Battalion is not a full-strength brigade, it can still be called the elite of the Japanese army, and its weapons and ammunition are definitely more than these.
However, at least half of the weapons and ammunition were damaged in the battle, and some parts of the weapons and ammunition were brought back, and they can still be used after repair.
Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed when he heard this. The casualties of the new regiment in these two battles were almost 140, and nearly 1,000 Japanese were killed.
Although the seizures in these two battles were quite large, they were incomparable to 100 Czech machine guns and 300,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition.
These 100 Czech guns and 300,000 rounds of ammunition entered the new regiment's warehouse, and there was no way they could be hidden from the brigade commander's eyes.
If he handed over all the captured weapons and ammunition, the brigade commander would be too embarrassed to rob them even if he knew that the new regiment had obtained 100 Czech guns and 300,000 rounds of ammunition.
After all, these 100 Czech guns and 300,000 rounds of ammunition are not considered seized, right?
Li Yunlong immediately decided to hand over all the seizures this time!
