Chapter 1 'Heavy casualties' and the expansion of the army

"No need to chase."

"Clean up the battlefield."

"I've searched it carefully, and I can't miss a single bullet casing."

"And the cannons that those devils blew up, as well as those armored vehicles of the devils, all of them were brought back, which were good steel, and they were used to make weapons for the headquarters arsenal."

Seeing the devil's gray retreat, Li Yunlong ordered his troops to stop the pursuit and began to clean up the battlefield.

This time, he had enough time to clean up the battlefield, and no one would disturb him, so Grand Master Li gave full play to the spirit of diligence and thrift, so that not a single bullet casing was allowed to fall in the troops.

"Victorious."

"Victory..."

"We won."

With the order of Grand Master Li, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment collectively cheered.

Although the independent regiment won a lot of battles, this time, it was facing the devils of the A division, and the number of devils, in the eyes of everyone, was no less than that of the independent regiment, and even the devils had tanks.

But it still let the independent regiment win, and it was a big victory, the loss on his side was not large, and the huge joy of victory made the soldiers of the independent regiment cheer involuntarily.

The officers did not stop either, but joined in the cheers, and this time, anyway, they won outright.

Next, there will be no devil reinforcements to make trouble, what they have is time.

Some soldiers of the independent regiment also ran in front of the devil's chariot, jumped up and down, knocked and beat, began to disassemble the devil's armored car, unloaded the tracks, pried the heavy wheels, and even ran inside to search, and they were very happy.

The capture of the devil's chariot is a novelty.

Although this chariot has been beaten into a sieve, it is also the first time,

"Zhu Ziming, what's wrong with you?"

A soldier jumped up fiercely, shouted a few times and planned to run to see the devil's tank, and saw that Zhu Ziming next to him had always looked strange, as if he was not very happy, and couldn't help but say:

"Rejoice! The devils were shot by us, and even the tanks were destroyed by us, which is a big victory. ”

"Hahaha..."

After saying that, the warrior waved his fist, his tone was full of excitement, and then ran towards the devil's tank.

"Well, haha, yes, we fought a big victory..."

Behind him, Zhu Ziming pulled out a smile with difficulty.

It's over, it seems that you still have to stay in the independent regiment, when will the days of this spy be a head!

This heavy machine gun·····

Putting away a difficult smile, Zhu Ziming looked at the heavy machine guns on the position.

At this time, several soldiers were doing post-war maintenance, wiping off the dust splashed during the battle, and then applying gun oil, as if they were treating their daughters-in-law with the same care.

He knew about these heavy machine guns.

It is said that it is a new weapon sent by Boss Chen, and it is very powerful.

But...

Isn't this too powerful?

At a distance of more than 200 meters, the devil chariot was directly beaten into a sieve, is this still a heavy machine gun? It's a cannon! If he had known, he would have found a way to tell the devil, even if it was a little risk.

This is the weapon that can determine the course of war.

The turning point of this battle was the sudden attack of these ten heavy machine guns.

These terrifying heavy machine guns not only broke the devil's chariot and annihilated the devil's forward, but also strafed the infantry with intensive firepower, and the devil's formation was completely chaotic. The devils who hit directly could not organize a group counterattack.

If the devils knew about these heavy machine guns, they would not have let the tanks rush in directly, the battle would definitely not have developed like this, and it is really hard to say who the winner will be in the end.

But he is only a security section officer, mainly responsible for the security work of the regiment headquarters, and has no chance to go to the shooting range, this kind of machine gun, in the regiment is very secretive, he does not even know the specific caliber.

Its specific data is kept secret and is known only to the level of heavy machine gun squad and battalion commander.

"Hey..."

Sighing silently, Zhu Ziming rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up the battlefield.

Since you are a spy, you have to look like a spy and not let others find out.

I don't know what happened to the ammunition depot?

While busy working, Zhu Ziming thought in his heart.

Whether it succeeds or not, it's a trouble.

The ammunition depot was attacked, and it was a secret ammunition depot, the regiment must have doubts about this time, then, be honest recently, you can't continue to pass on information, and first lurk for a while.

······

Shou County.

Oshima Kan fled back to the county in a hurry under the protection of the guards, taking with him less than 600 remnants.

At the time of departure, the two brigades, totaling more than 1,600 people, had only lost half of their troops, lost all their baggage and heavy weapons, and fled in a real way.

Even he himself was seriously injured, he was slid by a shrapnel and cut his stomach, his intestines leaked out a little, and he fell into a coma directly, and the battlefield military doctor had no choice but to temporarily bandage it, and then inject analgesics, preparing to return to the county seat for another operation.

The posture of the devils entering the city was very embarrassing, and the devils were carrying guns with dirty faces, their steps were flustered, and even their tone was not so arrogant.

was beaten up by the independent regiment, and then desperately escaped for a whole day, tired and down, and had no strength to be arrogant.

And around, looking at the appearance of the devil, the people of Shou County did not show much surprise, and even looked at it expressionlessly, let go of the way, and continued to do their own things.

They had expected this outcome for a long time.

Nothing surprising.

As for the puppet soldiers who originally refused to be recruited by the devils, they were even more glad in their hearts.

"My mother..."

"That's all there is left of this little devil."

In this group of people, Sha Lao Er looked at the more than 500 devils covered in dust, and he patted his chest as the former head of the big landlord in Jiazhuang, looking lucky to have escaped.

After the so-called president of the maintenance association from Taiyuan in Jiazhuang was killed, he ran away decisively, took the Wang Ba box given by the devil, and then sold the gun and bullets outside, exchanged some money, and lived a comfortable life for a few days.

In retrospect, it was the right decision.

Otherwise, if you follow the devil to fight against Li Yunlong, I am afraid that your life will be gone long ago.

·····

In the middle of the night, Suga Oshima woke up after a temporary operation, and the pain in his abdomen made him hoarse.

"Where's Fukai Shaozo?"

"Let him come to me."

The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask Fukai Shaoza, the same officer he had sent to attack the ammunition depot of the Independent Regiment.

The main force of his brigade has failed, this is already irreparable, Oshima Kan has accepted the reality, but he still has a little comfort in his heart, at least, he has put Li Yunlong's ammunition depot at the end.

"Fukai Shaozo..."

Returning to Oshima Suga was Kotaro Ito.

This guy who is bent on becoming a captain is surprisingly lucky this time, and not a piece of skin is scratched. However, his mood was not good at all, and he was even seriously injured.

After a while, he said:

"Fukai Shaozo hasn't come back yet..."

Oshima Kan was unconscious, and the military commander became him, and the officer of the intelligence section told him that Fukai Shaozo had gone to carry out the mission of sneaking up on Li Yunlong's ammunition depot, so he now knew about this mission.

And now at the time, there is no news back, no need to guess, this thing must not be good...

"Nani?"

Oshima Kan was startled, looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and found that it was already the night after night, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and pulled the wound violently, almost breaking the stitches:

"What's going on? Why hasn't he come back yet? ”

He attacked Yang Village for a whole day, and then was ambushed by Li Yunlong the next day, and by now, it was the third day. In three days, the location of the ammunition depot is not far away, and it is time to come back.

"I've sent someone to investigate, and I should be back soon."

Kotaro Ito replied.

It was only at night that he dared to send someone to investigate the situation.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside, which intelligence officer's exclamation: "What, you found the corpses of Shenjing Shaozuo and them, and all the jade was broken?" The enemy's ammunition depot is also intact? Moreover, the transfer of ammunition was also organized in the Eighth Route Army? ”

Your Excellency Nakasa, it's not the right time for you to wake up... Hearing this, Kotaro Ito suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly looked at Suga Oshima on the hospital bed.

Sure enough·····

Hearing the news, Oshima Kan glared suddenly, opened his mouth, seemed to want to say something, but couldn't say it, and finally fainted straight, blood gushing out of his abdomen, and soon stained the entire bed quilt red.

The only good news was gone, and it turned into bad news, and the seriously injured Oshima Kan couldn't withstand the blow and fainted directly.

"Medical officer, medical officer..."

Kotaro Ito called out to the medics in a panic.

He also thinks that Oshima Kan will come out to preside over the overall situation!

This captain, he doesn't want to be anymore, where is Li Yunlong, isn't it uncomfortable to be the captain in this Shou County? Not to mention making money, maybe one day it will be wiped out by Li Yunlong.

Let's take it personally.

Just be an adjutant or squadron leader, and if you lose the battle, someone will take the blame.

It's just that things didn't go his way, and Oshima Kan didn't come back in the end, and he fulfilled his dream in the early morning and died for the Japanese Empire.

Early in the morning, Kotaro Ito finally remembered and informed the Taiyuan Headquarters of the defeat here.

Of course, after consulting with the intelligence officer, he felt that Oshima Kan was dead, and there was no one to blame, and it was likely that the two of them would take the blame, so he added very wittily:

Li Yunlong's troops also suffered heavy losses, with no less than 1,000 casualties······

·····

"The Oshima squadron was also defeated."

"Even he himself was martyred"

Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka, who received the order, sighed.

"Nani?"

Yamamoto Kazuki raised his eyebrows, and his tone was full of surprise: "How can this be?" ”

"This Li Yunlong is very unexpected by us."

However, Yoshio Shinozuka's expression at this time was not much unhappy, but his tone was brisk: "This person has obtained a new weapon, which is a heavy machine gun that can penetrate the Empire's Type 95 chariot from a distance of two hundred meters. ”

"It was because Oshima Suga Nakasa did not know this weapon that the armored squadron was ambushed by Li Yunlong, which eventually led to a melee between the two armies, with heavy casualties on both sides."

In the report, the last sentence made Yoshio Shinozuka a little happy.

Even if Li Yunlong was not eliminated, his troops suffered heavy losses, and in the near future, they will definitely settle down and have no strength to make trouble.

When Li Yunlong's strength recovers, it will take at least half a year, and on the imperial side, General Gangcun has also come to power, and the scale of the next battle is not something that a mere regiment can control.

When the time comes, Li Yunlong will be submerged under the army of the imperial army, and he will not be able to turn over the waves.

"Scuffle..."

"I see."

The information that had been passed on to Shou County, seeing that both sides had suffered heavy casualties in the end, Yamamoto Kazuki nodded, and his tone was abrupt.

The new weapon can deal with armored vehicles, which makes the decisive weapon of the Oshima Brigade Type 95 tank unable to give full play to its advantages.

Then Li Yunlong's own armament was no worse than that of the Imperial Army, especially light weapons, and even a little superiority, automatic firearms were better than those of the Imperial Army, and there were heavy losses on both sides in the highway melee, which was normal.

"Over there in Nashou County..."

Kazuki Yamamoto asked.

"Let the rest of the Oshima Brigade withdraw, as for Shou County, just send some recruits over and hold the county seat."

Yoshio Shinozuka's tone was leisurely.

Just put a county seat, let Li Yunlong scourge, and clean him up after a while.

Then he changed the subject:

"General Gangcun has two months to take office, and then your special forces will be able to recover and rebuild."

"Next, you will mainly collect the intelligence of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the location of the troops, so as to provide intelligence support for the battle of law and order in North China after General Gangcun takes office."

"In addition, that Chen Fan's investigation should not be left behind, the large-caliber heavy machine gun can penetrate the armor of the Ninety-Five Type, it must be an armor-piercing bullet, it must be provided by him, we must find this person as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Yamamoto, who was originally a little happy because of the reconstruction of the special team, suddenly collapsed.

From the beginning of the investigation, until now, there is no information about this Chen Fan, and even the way this person transported weapons has not been found, as for the spy Zhu Ziming...

This spy relieved a doubt in his heart, Chen Fan is a real person.

was extremely helpless, and Yamamoto could only nod helplessly:

"Hey."

······

Yang Village.

After driving out the devils, the independent regiment returned to Yang Village, and Li Yunlong also returned to the regiment headquarters, the wounded soldiers recuperated, and the rest were transferred to the 'ammunition depot', and some helped the villagers repair their houses.

"This time, our losses are acceptable."

In the face of casualties, Zhao Gang rarely did not have too much sadness this time: "The cumulative casualties are 670 people, of which more than 300 people have been sacrificed, 130 are seriously injured, and the rest are minor injuries, and they can return to the team in a month at most." ”

There are always casualties in war, and it depends on whether the casualties are worth it or not.

"And the devil..."

Zhao Gang continued: "Including the ammunition depot, there are more than 700 corpses left by the devils, and the devils also blew up six forty-one mountain cannons. ”

"And that's not counting the casualties when the devils attacked Yang Village..."

The casualties of the independent regiment were twice as many as those of the devils, and they also destroyed the heavy weapons of the devils, and this battle was a proper victory.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"Not bad."

Grand Master Li smiled, and then suddenly said:

"Lao Zhao, next, it's time for us to expand the army."
