Guo Wenzhi was full of pride and happily asked for credit and rewards from the World War II district chief.
Yan Guoming, on the other hand, looked gloomy and said with lingering fear: "The little Japs are really good at fighting with bayonets. Just after we struggled with the Japs' vanguard for a while, our regiment suffered two hundred casualties. Thanks to you, Captain Zhou."
The people must arrive in time, otherwise we will suffer big losses..."
What Yan Guoming said is true. Although these little devils are just the garrison troops in the rear, and their combat effectiveness is not even second-rate, it still depends on who they are compared with.
It would be nice for the Eighth Route Army soldiers to have enough to eat at this time, but if they can't keep up with nutrition at all, how can they compete with the Japs on bayonets?
People with extraordinary talents like Monk Wei who can fight against three are only a few after all. It is only one in a hundred. It is good to have one in a company.
According to the situation at that time, it was also fortunate that Yan Guoming was decisive and knew that the firepower of the Fourth Independent Regiment could not stop the Japs from breaking out, so he simply pressed forward with the entire regiment and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Japs. This gave Zhou Weihan's new Second Regiment time to annihilate the Japs.
.
"Old Yan, it's okay. We won this battle well. We wiped out at least half of the Japs' brigade. No matter who you say, it's a victory." Zhou Weihan consoled him.
The troops of the New Second Regiment participating in the battle also suffered more than 150 casualties. Zhou Weihan was trembling with distress. Previous battles had relied on fire suppression or trickery, but this time the situation was different.
Take some of the Jing Dagang soldiers who occupied the position on the top of the mountain as an example. The trenches dug by the Jinsui Army were to defend against enemies coming from the front. If you were to defend against enemies coming from behind, your upper body would be directly exposed to the muzzles of the Japs.
Four companies, with five to six hundred people crowded in the trench, really became a living target for the Japs. That is to say, there were enough light and heavy machine guns to quickly repel the Japs.
While the two were talking, Guo Wenzhi rushed over with someone.
"Thank you, Commander Yan. Your army helped our department to get out of trouble. Guo is very grateful." Guo Wenzhi said with a smile on his face.
"Heh, Commander Guo, it is our duty as the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese." Yan Guoming replied calmly.
"This one looks a bit unfamiliar." Guo Wenzhi turned to Zhou Weihan and said.
"My Excellency, Zhou Weihan, commander of the New Second Regiment of the 386 Brigade, happened to pass by Heshun, so he participated in this operation with Commander Yan." Zhou Weihan really wanted to see what nonsense Guo Wenzhi could say.
"386th Brigade? Oh, I have admired your name for a long time. Your army wiped out the Sakata Regiment in one fell swoop, which is really admirable to us soldiers." Guo Wenzhi said politely.
"Captain Guo, you are a busy man. If you have anything to say, please speak directly." Yan Guoming remembered the performance of the Jinsui Army on the position just now, and watched helplessly as the little devil rushed to the position of the Fourth Independent Regiment, but did not fire a single shot.
A burst of anger could not help but rush into his heart, and he said unceremoniously.
"May I ask if your army killed Masao Nakamura who came this time?"
After hearing this, Yan Guoming glanced at Zhou Weihan, and Guo Wenzhi instantly understood what was going on.
"Captain Zhou, could you please hand over the body of Masao Nakamura to the 386th Regiment for disposal?"
"Is Captain Guo from Shanxi?" Zhou Weihan asked with a smile.
"However, I am from Linfen, Shanxi."
"I've heard that Chief Yan from the World War II area is always good at doing business, but I didn't expect that Captain Guo is not bad either. You have to be sincere in doing business, and you can't just do it with nothing." Zhou Weihan joked.
After hearing this, Guo Wenzhi's face froze: "What did Captain Zhou say? As long as you like anything on this battlefield, you can pick whatever you like. I only want Masao Nakamura."
"Guo Wenzhi, this little devil was killed by our Eighth Route Army. What does it have to do with you? Do you still need your consent when we take away our trophies?" At this time, Yan Guoming, who was filled with anger, could no longer bear it.
"Commander Yan, don't forget that Taohuashan is the defense area of our 386th Regiment. Your Eighth Route Army sent troops to break into our defense area and disrupt our military deployment. This is not a trivial matter." Guo Wenzhi simply said with a broken face.
"I have the final say on what is within my defense zone."
Zhou Weihan laughed in anger. Although he had seen Guo Wenzhi's face in a TV series in his previous life, he never expected that he would bite him right after he helped him.
Zhou Weihan thought to himself, damn, I have never suffered such a big loss.
Yan Guoming on the side opened his mouth to argue with Guo Wenzhi. Zhou Weihan stepped forward to stop him and said in a low voice: "Old Yan, a good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. If this gets too big, it will not look good to his superiors."
Zhou Weihan walked up to Guo Wenzhi and whispered: "Captain Guo, there are high mountains and dense forests around here. You have to be more careful and don't get shot in the back. I heard you're not married yet. Hurry up and leave a seed for your family. Okay.
Come on." He said and patted Guo Wenzhi on the shoulder.
Guo Wenzhi is afraid of wolves before doing things, and afraid of tigers later. The key is that he is narrow-minded and conceited. He typically cherishes his own life when doing big things, and forgets his life when he sees small profits. He is far from Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment.
Hearing what Zhou Weihan said, Guo Wenzhi said calmly: "Captain Zhou is joking. Look at this, our 386th regiment suffered a lot of damage and consumption in this battle. We really can't produce anything decent. I
Get bullets in exchange."
As he spoke, he stretched out his open right hand and made a gesture.
"Captain Guo was so angry that we accepted the 50,000 rounds of ammunition." Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
Guo Wenzhi's face darkened and he said, "It's five thousand rounds."
"Guo Wenzhi, are you sending beggars away, and you want to replace Masao Nakamura with five thousand rounds of ammunition?" Yan Guoming and Zhou Weihan played a double act.
"Ten thousand rounds of ammunition, plus the seizure this time, all belong to us," Zhou Weihan said.
"Okay, deal."
Both sides were quite satisfied. To be honest, for the Eighth Route Army, the corpse of a little Japanese was useless, and it would be better to replace it with some ammunition.
In the Battle of Taohuashan, 526 Japs were killed, 182 Type 38 rifles, 3 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 5 bombed, and 8 crooked machine guns were seized. The bullets were consumed by the Japs.
In addition, the tents where ammunition was stored in the logistics camp were blown up, and less than 20,000 rounds were seized. Not many grenades were seized, and most of them were taken away by the New Second Regiment first.
Two Type 92 infantry guns and four Type 97 mortars were directly blown up by the artillery left behind by Masao Nakamura.
The seized supplies from the New Second Regiment and the Independent Fourth Regiment were added to each one to make five, half for each family.
"Damn it, no wonder Guo Wenzhi agreed so easily. The kid was really ruthless." Yan Guoming said distressedly as he looked at the blown-up artillery.
The New Second Regiment and the Independent Fourth Regiment merged together and withdrew from Taohuashan with the wounded and captured weapons and equipment.
"Old Yan, now that we have wiped out the main force of the Japs in Heshun, we estimate that there are not many troops left in the county." Zhou Weihan analyzed.
"Yes, this time Masao Nakamura has deployed most of the troops in Heshun strongholds and the county town to deal with the 386th Regiment. The county town must be empty. What, do you have any ideas?" Yan Guoming looked at Zhou Weihan with a half-smile but said.
"You little devils have put their fat in front of you. If you don't eat it, you won't get it for free."
As he spoke, Zhou Weihan looked at his watch and said: "It's just past noon now. The little devils in the county probably don't know yet that the whole army of little devils encircling Taohuashan has been wiped out. This is a good opportunity."
"Invading the county town is not a trivial matter. This needs to be reported to the superiors." Yan Guoming was a little moved when he saw the artillery of the New Second Regiment attacking the city.
