A brigade from the 115th Division participated in the battle. Although they were poorly equipped, they still caused a lot of trouble to the little Japanese.
They successfully blocked the Japanese 26th Brigade and prevented it from reinforcing Laoye Ridge.
So at this time, Dragon Boat Festival has enough time to rest.
He first ordered his troops to block all the main roads around Highland No. 3, and then ordered all soldiers to eat and rest.
Seeing this scene, the little Japanese Yaezo Akashiba felt confused. Shouldn't his enemies attack Highland No. 3 in one go? Why did they suddenly besiege and not attack?
This is very much like calling for reinforcements at a siege.
However, Akashiba Yaezo was only half right. Danwu did have such an idea, but he was more concerned about the physical condition of the soldiers.
Whether it is the independent regiment of Dragon Boat Festival or the newly joined troops such as Wang Tong and Lu Jian, they are fighting for days. The physical condition of the soldiers is very tired. With such a force to attack the No. 3 Highland, it is inevitable to defeat it, but
It's hard to say what the casualties are.
What's more, Dragon Boat Festival also needs to know the overall situation of the army. The battle was great just now, and the Japanese also killed a lot of people, but what about the casualties of the army? How much equipment and supplies were seized? And can they support the war with war?
Nowadays, Duanwu's weapons and ammunition are consumed a lot. Even if he is really rich, after a few battles, the warehouse will be empty.
Dragon Boat Festival will not wait for his ammunition depot to be empty before thinking of ways to solve the problem of insufficient ammunition. Instead, the more weapons and ammunition, the better.
However, this is a huge project problem.
Without the old abacus by his side, these things would become very troublesome.
Before, he only had to call Old Abacus over, and Old Abacus would tell him how many casualties each department had suffered, the ammunition consumption, and how many weapons and ammunition had been seized. Which troops needed to replenish weapons and ammunition immediately, and which troops could wait.
But at this time, all these tasks have to be completed by Duan Wu and several battalion commanders, including Lu Jian, Wang Tong and others.
All the data that I listened to during the Dragon Boat Festival were huge, because everyone was doing their own calculations, and when they finally put the data together, they still didn't add up.
Duanwu had no choice but to go into battle himself, first calculating the weapons and casualties of his independent regiment, and then summarizing it with Lu Jian and Wang Tong.
And this is not unknown, I was really shocked when I counted the Dragon Boat Festival.
It was indeed a pleasure for him to kill the Japanese, but his independent regiment lost more than 1,400 people in many battles with the Japanese army. One and a half of his battalions were completely gone.
Moreover, the consumption of weapons and ammunition is also very huge, especially the ammunition for automatic weapons. Lao Snoring and Duan Wu reported that in his battalion, each soldier only had two to three 20-round magazines, and some people were even not satisfied with the ammunition at all.
.
According to the current consumption rate, Lao Snoring suggested that if you use it sparingly, you can still fight two more battles.
Duanwu shook his head and said: "Save it sparingly. First, the soldiers will not be used to it. And secondly, the function of a submachine gun is to completely suppress the enemy with firepower, so that significant results can be achieved. Blindly saving bullets will only increase the number of casualties.

Let the soldiers concentrate their ammunition on half of them, so that each soldier holding a submachine gun can get five to six magazines, and there will be no problem in fighting two more battles.
And the other half will use the kid’s Type 38 rifles and crooked machine guns. The soldiers of your third battalion won’t be able to fight without their submachine guns, right?”
Lao Snoring chuckled and said, "That's not possible. When they practice shooting, they use Type 38 rifles."
Duanwu said: "That's good, let's do it like this. Lao Zhu from the first battalion, Lao Sun from the second battalion, and Lao Pang from the fourth battalion, do the same. Look at the weapons of each battalion. If the submachine gun has few bullets
, then concentrate the bullets, and then some people will use the little devil’s 38-type rifles first.
And Lao Sun, all types of guns captured will be yours to distribute.
We will use the heavy artillery today. When we attack Highland No. 3 in three hours, we will blow it up hard until all the shells are gone. We will not need these heavy artillery. I will blow them up together."
"Commissioner, don't blow up, don't blow up, give us the Sichuan troops?"
"Commissioner, don't blow up, don't blow up, give us the Northeast Army?"
Lu Jian and Wang Tong almost said in unison. Because it was a cannon. Even if there were no shells, keeping it would be an asset. If the little Japanese's shells were captured again, wouldn't they be usable again?
In fact, at this time, the two of them almost had the same idea, that is, the special correspondent was too prodigal, and his good-looking cannon was about to explode.
Of course, it was impossible for them to say such words, but they smiled with pleading faces.
Duanwu also smiled and asked: "We may have to fight on the run next. Can this artillery keep up with the team? Don't care about this small loss. If we can repel the little Japs this time, then we
What you get will be much more than this."
Lu Jian and Wang Tong thought about it and felt that what the commissioner said made sense. They had run all the way from Bengbu and rested for more than an hour in Fengyang County. They were as tired as their grandson.
Although these words didn't sound good, at that time, Lu Jian and Wang Tong both felt that they were grandsons. They really thought about not running away and felt comfortable sitting in the car.
However, while the special agents were still running, they couldn't stop or just get in the truck.
Therefore, Dragon Boat Festival’s move is very unique. No matter whether it is an officer or a soldier, no one dares to complain or has any complaints. Because Dragon Boat Festival is always running. The special commissioners are all trying to measure their pace. So you, as lower-level officers and soldiers,
Is it better to be a special correspondent than other people's special correspondents?
So at that time, no officer or soldier had any complaints, and everyone ran behind Duanwu.
But are they tired? Only each of them knows that. So dragging the gun under this situation is just adding insult to injury.
Lu Jian and Wang Tong sighed, the reluctance in their hearts showing on their faces.
The Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army are really in dire straits now.
Fortunately, they had sufficient weapons and ammunition. Duanwu had just led them to encircle and annihilate two brigades of the Japanese Tenth Regiment, and seized a large amount of ammunition that they had not had time to take away, including four mortars and ten grenades.
Two 100mm caliber rapid-fire guns, two 75mm caliber mountain guns, etc.
Those heavy artillery will explode after the battle on Highland 3, but those rifles, machine guns, grenades, mortars, etc. can be taken away.
Duanwu divided these things into two parts, one part was replenished to his independent regiment, and the other part was divided into three parts, two parts for the Sichuan Army, and one part for the Northeastern Army, and asked them to replenish their ministries, and then for three hours
After that, launch an attack on Highland No. 3 and annihilate the Japanese Tenth Regiment in one fell swoop! ...
