Chapter 403(1/2)
Fuliang Mountain, the southern slope position.
Wang Ye said: "But the regiment commander, our independent regiment has been disabled in this battle. I'm afraid it will not be able to recover its combat effectiveness within three months."
"Yes, the casualties this time are too big."
Zhao Gang said: "I just went to the field hospital for a look. Several wards were already covered with wounded people, and many wounded people were not assigned to the hospital beds and could only lie in the corridor temporarily."
"So serious?" Li Yunlong said sternly, "How many injured are there?"
Zhao Gang said solemnly: "There are more than 2,000 serious injuries alone, and there are more minor injuries."
"Where are the deaths?" Li Yunlong's face showed a gloomy look and said, "How many soldiers have died?"
Zhao Gang sighed: "The specific number of casualties is still counted, but I estimate that 1,500 will definitely be more than 1,500. Later, in order to stop the two infantry brigades of the Japanese, more than 500 soldiers were sacrificed!"
Li Yunlong sighed and said with a dark face: "So the Japanese devils are the real murderer. This time, they won the anti-sweeping campaign. As soon as they were about to end, the devils took a bite. It was so fucking anger."
Wang Ye calculated in his mind that before launching this battle, the Independent Regiment and the veterans and new recruits had about 7,000 people. Now there were 1,500 sacrifices alone, and more than 2,000 seriously injured. The casualty rate actually exceeded 50%!
It can be seen that this battle is actually a lucky winner. If Miyano Road left 500 infantry more, if the Japanese persisted for another half an hour, the outcome of the Battle of Fuliangshan would probably be completely different.
But there is no if in the war, and the fact is that their independent group won the victory in this battle.
Now, although there are only more than 3,500 people left in the entire independent regiment, and more than half of the soldiers are lightly wounded, what does that matter?
Because of this battle, a large amount of medicine was seized.
This is all the medicines divided into a half-battle division of the Japanese army.
It is more than 2,000 seriously injured people who have rescued their Independent Group.
Therefore, most of the more than 2,000 seriously injured people were rescued this time.
These wounded people can return to the team in less than half a month or more.
Moreover, after returning to the team, all of these seriously injured people grew into veterans, and their survivability and combat performance on the battlefield will be completely different in the future.
The real elites have always been fought on the battlefield.
Of course, new recruits who were not injured or were only slightly injured also became veterans.
After experiencing such a tragic battle, these soldiers were no longer afraid.
So unless the Japanese army goes to Fuliangshan to condemn at least two infantry regiments, equip these two infantry regiments with at least twenty base ammunition, and then continue the previous blasting offensive at any cost, in this way, there may be a chance to destroy their independent regiment.
However, does the Japanese army in Shanxi still have this ability?
Within at least half a year, the Japanese army in Shanxi has no longer been able to launch a mobilization operation of the same scale.
Therefore, no one can stop the prosperity of the Independent Group.
After this year, the size of the Independence Corps will expand rapidly like a balloon, and will become an important military force in northwest Shanxi.
Only then will the Japanese army in Shanxi truly realize the horror of the Independent Regiment.
Li Yunlong obviously thought of this and soon became happy, laughing: "But fortunately, we seized enough weapons and equipment and medicines in this battle, so not only the seriously injured soldiers can be rescued, but with these seized weapons and equipment, we can expand our troops on a large scale."
Wang Ye asked with a smile: "Captain, how many troops are you planning to expand?"
"It depends on how many weapons we seized." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "If we seize the equipment of a brigade, we will expand the brigade."
Wang Ye said: "What if a division's equipment was seized?"
"I didn't say anything, then I'll expand my division." Li Yunlong said, "I'll make trouble for the division commander, haha."
Zhao Gang also smiled and said, "The weapons and equipment seized this time are probably not that many, but it is definitely more than enough to equip a brigade."
Li Yunlong said: "Then expand a brigade."
Wang Ye smiled and said, "Captain, I feel a little bit uneasy."
"What does it mean?" Li Yunlong became alert in an instant.
Wang Ye smiled and said, "I think the brigade commander's telegram should arrive soon."
"Fuck, don't mention this to me." Li Yunlong became anxious, "If you don't mention this, don't mention it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Xia coming over with a telegram, stood attentively and said, "Captain, the brigade department rewarded the telegram."
"Give it to me." Zhao Gang reached out to take the telegram, and just glanced at it and chuckled. "Old Li, the brigade commander congratulated you on making a fortune in the telegram, and asked you how many benefits you have made?"
"Why are you here again?" Li Yunlong's face collapsed.
"Is this still unreasonable? What about the independent development that was agreed upon?"
Zhao Gang and Wang Ye laughed loudly, followed by a few sudden gunfire.
A cloud of smoke and dust immediately burst into the top of the sniper position, but the Japanese hiding in the bunker opposite were firing at this side, but they were basically just fighting blindly. The sniper squats on the hillside could not hit the bunker, but the Japanese hiding in the bunker could not hit them, and the guns were just to show the Japanese's attitude.
Obviously, the Japanese were in a bad mood.
...
Yoshio Iwamatsu was in a worse mood.
As noon approaches, the battle losses are finally counted.
"Hiss Commander." Hanaya was holding the report to Yoshio Iwamatsu's office and said, "The damage to the Second Guard Division has been counted."
Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded slightly.
Hua Guzheng then continued to read: "In terms of personnel, the blockade of trenches in 146 villages was first attacked, and 3,252 imperial soldiers died in their country."
"Then twenty-eight small strongholds were destroyed."
"There are 2,119 imperial soldiers who died in their country."
"There is another decisive battle in Fuliangshan last night, a total of 4,567 imperial soldiers died in the country."
"All of all, the Second Guard Division of the Second Guards had a total of 9,938 imperial soldiers in this sweep operation, including the Second Guard Field Cannon Regiment and the Tenth Independent Field Cannon Team collectively broke!"
"Miyanojichi, the commander of the Second Guard Division, sacrificed his life for the country."
"Miyono Daoichi?" A cold light flashed in Yoshio Iwamatsu's eyes, "Have the corpse been found?"
"Hayi, General Miyano's body has been found." Hanaya Masato paused his head slightly and said, "Unfortunately, the body is incomplete, but it is certain that it is him."
"It's good to be sure it's his body." Yoshio Iwamatsu sighed, "I'm dead and dead, and he's done all the time. He has paid the price for his stupidity. As a colleague in the army, you and I don't have to blame him anymore."
"Hayi." Hanaya Masato said, "Justice Miyano deserves respect for the fact that he died in the battle."
"It's worthy of respect, not worthy of respect, for nothing, let's not talk about this for now." Yoshio Iwamatsu waved his hand and said, "How is the loss of weapons, equipment and combat supplies?"
"Your Excellency Commander, this loss is a huge one."
Speaking of this, Hua Gumasato's face collapsed instantly.
After turning a page of the report, Hanaya continued to recite: "The equipment loss is counted, Meiji 38-year-old 105mm caliber field howitzer, twelve."
"Meiji 38-year-old 75mm caliber howitzer, thirty-six."
"Type 92 Infantry Cannon, four gates."
"Type 92 heavy machine gun, sixteen."
"Type 96 light machine gun, forty-five."

"Type 97 medium tank, thirteen."
"Type Nine Five Light Tanks, Twenty-six."
"Imitation of Vix armored vehicles, twenty-one."
"Glue wheel, mule, horse cart, more than 1,200."
“Isuzu heavy trucks, twenty-four.”
"Type 89 side tricycle, sixteen."
"More than 1,200 mules and horses."
"There are about 5,000 remaining 105mm caliber shells."
"There are about 22,000 rounds left in the 75mm caliber shells."
"There are about 35,000 remaining 70mm caliber shells."
"There are about 500,000 rounds left in the 7.7mm caliber Arisaka rifle bullets."
"There are about one million and two million rounds left in the 6.5mm caliber Arisaka rifle bullets."
"The Type 97 Infantry Grenades are about 60,000."
"The nine-type thrown grenades are about 100,000."
“About 2,000 barrels of diesel.”
