Chapter 23 Unsatisfactory Results
The third infantry team plus a heavy machine gun team had a total force of more than 80 people.
After passing the guard company one after another, less than 30 people retreated alive.
In addition to the remaining baggage and guard forces around Aoki, the total force was less than 60 people.
More importantly, half of these people are technical troops without much combat power.
Although they brought back two heavy machine guns, three grenade launchers, and one crooked handle. If used for defense, they must have more firepower. But there is no need to think about attacking. Without combat troops, no matter how powerful the firepower is, it is impossible to destroy the enemy.
The moment he saw the retreating troops, Aoki became desperate and cut off his mind the idea of taking over the First Military Division Command of the Eighth Route Army by his own efforts.
But at this moment, the Tu Eighth Route Army, who had been looked down upon by himself and was chased by him, actually chased and beaten behind the retreating troops.
Because two heavy machine guns are still on the retreating road, it is impossible to provide fire cover for the retreating troops. Dozens of Tujiao Route Army chasing their subordinates can be described as the four words "unscrupulous".
"Bageya Road, when did the Imperial Japanese Imperial Army fall to this point? It was actually chased and beaten by the Eighth Route Army! No, I want to fight back, fight back immediately, and teach them a lesson!" Aoki cursed loudly like an angry lion!
The deputy captain next to him was a little rational and quickly reminded: "Captain calm down. We are short of troops, and even if we want to fight back, there is no one! The Eighth Route Army must have wanted to wipe us out here. We cannot become the first established squadron in the corps to be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army, otherwise! We will definitely become the laughing stock of the Imperial ** team!"
For soldiers! The honor of soldiers is higher than anything else, and Captain Aoki is no exception. Otherwise, he would not have led an infantry squadron alone to go deeper, wanting to take down the military achievements of destroying the First Military Sub-district Command of the Eighth Route Army alone!
Therefore, the deputy captain hesitated as soon as he finished speaking!
Then he ordered loudly: "Retreat, order the troops to continue retreating. The terrain here is not suitable for defense. We cannot be completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army here!"
"There is a small highland on the road six hundred meters away from here, which is suitable for defending and waiting for assistance, so that the troops can retreat there to defend. When the reinforcements sent by the corps captain arrives, they will motivate the attack and destroy their headquarters!"
"Captain, wise!" the deputy captain said with a sigh of relief.
As soon as the Japanese army retreated, the weapons and ammunition they left on the battlefield were from the guard company.
In addition, the guard company had not yet eliminated the Japanese soldiers' remnants in a short period of time, Zeng Quan was called back by Wang Ping just after chasing him less than 300 meters.
Then, while someone was cleaning the battlefield, he strengthened the position.
At this time, the ambush battle between the main force of the First Military Sub-district against the Japanese encirclement and suppression troops had already begun! Because Wang Ping appeared in the air, he brought back a lot of weapons and ammunition to the First Division with little guns and ammunition! The entire ambush battle was very smooth.
In less than two hours, more than 300 Japanese devils were wiped out!
In order to rescue this reinforcement squadron! The Japanese from the three nearby squadrons all tried their best to reinforce, fighting with the first division's reinforcements, and they were unable to reinforce Captain Aoki.
After the ambush battle commanded by Yang Chengwu himself ended, the main force of the First Military Sub-district began to withdraw from the battlefield six times, and Captain Aoki, who was defending the aid, still did not receive reinforcements from one soldier.
Once the main force retreated, there was no need for the guard company to defend and disappear on the battlefield!
At this time, the expression on Zeng Quan’s face can be described as the word excitement!
Because the troops seized a large number of weapons and equipment. Although many weapons were destroyed in the grenade, those that were intact alone were enough to expand the guard company to increase its firepower by 30%, or even 50%,!
Zeng Quan, who was very happy to run to Wang Ping, immediately reported: "Company Commander, the results of the battle have been counted!"
"The Japanese dropped 78 corpses in front of our position, including a lieutenant team leader, a whole team of Japanese soldiers. We lost 39 people ourselves, 27 of whom were sacrificed. The Japanese's shooting skills were too accurate, either they were directly shot by the Japanese or retreated in the chest, or they were punched in the body and could return to the army if they were cured!"
"39 to 78, in general, we still won!" Wang Ping said with a sigh of relief!
Because the base was first established, not so many people joined the Eighth Route Army, and there were not so many new recruits to replenish the troops in the military sub-district. Therefore, what Wang Ping was most worried about was that the guard company suffered too many casualties and could not be replenished in a short period of time and could not recover its combat effectiveness.
Now it seems that I am a little over-concerned. The casualties of less than 40 people are still within my own risk.
But at this moment, Zeng Quan changed his subject and continued, "Company Commander, don't make a mistake, this is just a loss of the frontal blocking battle. We also lost a lot of people in the sneak attack on the Japanese in the front, all of which were more than 60 people, of which there were 46 comrades who died, including one platoon leader and two squad leader!"
The good mood on Wang Ping's face disappeared all of a sudden. He asked with a calm face: "In other words, there are only about 60 people in the guards' company that can move now. In less than a day, we will lose more than half of our troops!"
Zeng Quan quickly comforted him: "Company Commander, the loss is huge, but it is not without gains."
"There are more than 60 people left, plus the injured brothers, now they all look like veterans. Although the troops are fewer, the combat effectiveness of our guard company has not been reduced!"
"There are also captured, because the Japanese retreated too quickly and the weapons were not taken away, so they were seized by us. The current guard company, even if it expands its troops, there is no need to worry about weapons!"
"Now, the entire company has a heavy machine gun, five boxes of bullets, three gates of grenade tubes, 25 special grenades, five light machine guns, 129 large 38 covers, and more than 15,000 bullets. There are also 9 pistols, and there are no statistics on bullets, and 128 grenades!"
"With these weapons and ammunition, as long as there are soldiers, we can expand the guard company into a reinforced company in a very short time!"
Wang Ping's face looked much better, but he still said regretfully: "There are a lot of weapons, but there are fewer ammunitions. Especially the grenade special grenades and ordinary bullets can withstand a high-intensity combat at best."
At this time, Zeng Quan despised Wang Ping very much!
"Company Commander, when did you become so generous? There are so many bullets. Do you know how many bullets there are in the second regiment just established in the military region? More than 1,000 people, and ordinary soldiers are five bullets per capita. Only a small number of veterans and sharpshooters are equipped with ten or twenty bullets. The bullets of one company of our company are almost catching up with their regiment. Do you think there are few?"
Seeing Zeng Quan's face still filled with excitement and pride, Wang Ping did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought!
