Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

More than 600 Japanese soldiers were killed, and the combined casualties of the Sichuan Army Corps and the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment were only 84, of which 34 were killed, all in the final dying struggle of the Japanese soldiers.

The first battalion lost 18 people, including 12 from the first company. There was no other way around it, as a forced assault would only result in huge casualties.

However, if we look at the casualty ratio, the enemy and our side are 17:1, which can be considered a glorious victory.

However, we consumed 250 mortar shells, at least 2.5 bullets of various types, and threw more than 200 grenades.

Most of the bullets are consumed in a row. There is no other way. Although more automatic weapons can bring a bonus to combat power, they also consume more ammunition.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army now has its own bullet production line, so this consumption is barely acceptable.

In the past, this amount of bullets would have been enough for a division to launch a small-scale ambush. If a battalion dared to consume so much, the battalion commander, regiment commander, and even brigade commander would have been called a prodigal by other troops.

Of course, the more bullets consumed, the greater the results will be, and the casualties of the attacking soldiers will be much less. This can be said to be a case of there are gains and losses.

The key is to see how rich the family is. Obviously, the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment is very rich and is willing to use a large amount of ammunition in exchange for the lives of the soldiers.

The special forces on Kong Hao's side just followed the main battalion and killed a few Japanese soldiers from a long distance with the Ma Sihuan rifle, and the battle was over.

"Ding, host, now we are going to settle the battlefield. The total merit points gained from these battles is 1104, and the merit points consumed are: 100."

"The current merit is points, the next level is: /."

After the two armies meet, the next most important thing is to clean up the battlefield and divide the equipment.

After all, the Sichuan Army Corps and the Independent Regiment belong to two different forces, and some things need to be agreed upon in advance to avoid hurting the harmony between them.

In fact, there are still more than 700 people left in the Sichuan Army, and they currently have more than enough weapons and ammunition. However, there are still many Sichuan Army troops in the Second War Zone, and they are also facing the dilemma of lack of guns and ammunition. This time they were able to seize so many weapons and ammunition, and they will definitely hand over a part of them to enhance the strength of other Sichuan Army troops.

The same is true for the Independent Regiment. Many infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army are actually poorly equipped, and the captured weapons can be handed over to them for use.

In today's China, any firearm that can fire is extremely valuable and will not be wasted easily.

Although the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment contributed the most in the final annihilation battle, Zhang Dabiao still proposed that the captured weapons and ammunition be divided equally between the two families.

The Sichuan Army is a force worthy of admiration. If these weapons are given to them, they will definitely appear on the battlefield to fight against the Japanese invaders and defeat all enemies.

At present, the Japanese are powerful, and we must unite all the forces that can be united to fight the enemy together. Otherwise, no matter how strong the Eighth Route Army is, it will eventually be unable to support the enemy alone.

Fortunately, the Jingkou Battalion had a replenishment yesterday and not much ammunition was consumed, which is a complete bargain for us.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Chief of Staff He compiled all the seized supplies:

"This time we seized three intact mortars, 1,322 shells, eight Type 92 heavy machine guns, 25 Type 92 light machine guns, 31 grenade launchers, 416 Type 38 rifles, 52 Turtle Box pistols, and 22 Japanese sabers."

"In addition, we seized a total of 250,000 rounds of various ammunition, 2,200 grenade launchers, and some other special supplies, which have not been counted yet."

Upon hearing that so many weapons and ammunition had been seized at once, Captain Long and Zhang Dabiao were both extremely delighted.

Especially the Sichuan Army. They probably never imagined in their lives that one day they would wipe out an entire Japanese battalion with the strength of an entire regiment, and gain such a huge reward.

Captain Long asked cautiously, "Captain Zhang, how should these spoils be distributed?"

It's no wonder that Captain Long was so cautious. The main reason was that if Kong Hao hadn't led the Sichuan Army to intercept the Japanese transport convoy, they would have likely suffered a crushing defeat or even annihilation, let alone a great victory.

People should know how to be grateful. Besides, the Eighth Route Army gave all the supplies of the Japanese transport team to the Sichuan Army Corps. People should know how to be content.

Zhang Dabiao said with a smile on his face: "Since this great victory was won by our two families working together, the captured weapons and ammunition must be divided equally."

"My opinion is that all weapons and ammunition should be divided equally. If the number of weapons is an odd number, take more ammunition as compensation."

"By the way, these damaged weapons should also be handed over to our Eighth Route Army. If they are sent to the repair shop, they can still be disassembled into parts that are quite useful."

After hearing this, Captain Long and Chief of Staff He were overjoyed and quickly expressed their gratitude.

Although the total number of these weapons and equipment allocated was not large, they were able to help the Sichuan Army solve many difficulties, especially for those brothers who were fighting hard against the Japanese on the battlefield in Shanxi.

Moreover, this great victory will boost the morale of other troops and may even trigger a chain reaction to break the current deadlock.

After distributing the equipment, Commander Long sent out a company of troops, together with the Sichuan Army's transport team and the civilians who were temporarily assembled, to transport the weapons and ammunition that had been replaced previously, as well as most of the weapons seized this time, along with a lot of medicines, compressed biscuits, canned beef and even most of the sugar, to the division headquarters and handed them over to Commander Feng for distribution.

The reason why the Sichuan Army was able to achieve so many victories in such a difficult environment has a lot to do with the unity and mutual assistance of the troops.

Zhang Dabiao also loaded the spoils onto a truck and sent a platoon of troops, with the cooperation of the Hexian County Brigade, to deliver the weapons and ammunition to the nearest main force.

To be honest, this batch of weapons and ammunition is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either. As long as the personnel are in place, the Taiyue Military Region can use it as a basis to expand an infantry regiment, which even Brigade Commander Chen cannot ignore.

After all, they had mortars, light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, as well as hundreds of Type 38 rifles and grenades, which were more powerful than when Li Yunlong first arrived at the independent regiment.

After doing all this, everyone buried the bodies of the Japanese soldiers, then repaired the position, and waited for the arrival of the independent regiment's main force.

According to the original plan, Li Yunlong would lead the main force to Dawang Town at noon, but the main force did not arrive until three o'clock in the afternoon.

After both parties introduced their identities to each other, Li Yunlong smiled and said:

"We should have arrived a long time ago, but we encountered a small enemy force on the way. There was a squadron of Japanese soldiers and a battalion of puppet troops, about 500 people in total."

"I led the team to kill the Japanese troops and captured a large number of puppet troops, which delayed us for a while."
