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

When Kong Hao and others arrived, they found that the situation was extremely critical. More than half of the 516th Regiment of the Gui Army had suffered casualties, and their position was also in jeopardy.

Faced with this situation, Kong Hao was not in a hurry to join the main force of the Gui army. He only sent Captain Xie to find a way to contact the regiment headquarters in a detour, and also sent a special operations team to go with him. The special operations team will launch a surprise attack on the enemy's artillery position in two hours.

At this time, only more than 800 people were left in one battalion of the Japanese. After all, the Wolf Soldiers were not an ordinary weak unit. If they wanted to eat up one of our regiments, they would at least have to break all of the enemy's teeth.

Even if the battle goes to the end and the 516th Regiment of the Gui Army is completely wiped out, this large group of Japanese devils will suffer at least half casualties.

If the 516th Regiment of the Gui Army had not gone through a hard battle some time ago and had not replenished its ammunition in time, the Gui Army would not necessarily lose if a real fight broke out with the strength of a regiment facing a battalion of the Japanese.

In fact, the Japanese only bullied us by relying on their advanced weapons and equipment and sufficient ammunition. It was a pity that our troops were at a disadvantage everywhere due to the lack of the most basic ammunition.

The commander of the 516th Regiment was named Jiang. He was from Lingqu, Jingjiang. He wore black-framed glasses. Although he looked gentle, he was extremely ferocious in battle. The 516th Regiment was also nicknamed the "Evil Wolf Regiment" by other troops, which was in line with the evaluation of the wolf soldiers as "fierce as tigers and vicious as wolves."

But at this moment he no longer had the calmness of the past, his face was filled with fatigue, he had not rested for two days and two nights, and his eyes were deeply sunken.

But in the current situation, he didn't dare to rest at all, for fear that he would not wake up after falling asleep.

He first rubbed his swollen eyes, then wiped his face with a dirty towel to cheer himself up.

Now that we are at war, the troops are at risk of being wiped out at any time, so there is no need to be too picky.

At this time, Chief of Staff Hu, with a face full of gunpowder, walked into the headquarters. He first took the water cup on the table and took a few gulps. Then he said loudly:

"Commander, I led my brothers to repel the attack of the opposite well-side brigade just now. The Japanese seem to be making a fire and cooking. They will not attack again in the short term."

"Very good. By the way, how many casualties did the brothers suffer? How much ammunition do you have?"

Chief of Staff Hu said in a sad tone: "We have suffered more than 100 casualties this time. Now there are less than 500 people left, and there are still a large number of wounded. In addition to dozens of seriously injured, all the lightly wounded who can still stand up and hold guns are fighting the Japanese on the front line."

"We have about five rounds of ammunition per person for our rifles, 40 rounds for our light machine guns, and only three heavy machine guns left, each with only 200 rounds of ammunition. We can't even get one grenade per person."

"Just now, a squadron of Japanese soldiers rushed to the position. I led everyone to fight with the enemy with bayonets. It took heavy casualties to drive the Japanese soldiers away. However, the third battalion was basically crippled. Two company commanders were killed and the commander of the third battalion was seriously injured. In the current situation, it is estimated that they will not survive until tomorrow."

"But there is good news. We just had a close fight with the enemy and seized more than a dozen Type 38 rifles and more than a thousand rounds of ammunition. I have given these good guns to the veteran with the best marksmanship, so we can hold out for a while longer."

After hearing this, Captain Jiang just nodded without any change in expression, but his heart was bleeding.

The third battalion commander's surname was also Jiang. He was the son of his uncle and his cousin. In order to prevent others from being convinced, the two brothers did not make their relationship public. Everyone thought that they were just fellow villagers from the same place.

The third battalion commander was able to become the battalion commander entirely due to his own abilities. He fought bravely in every battle and was always at the front during the charge, which earned him his current military position.

Now hearing that his brother would not survive tomorrow, Captain Jiang felt extremely sad. He didn't know how to explain to his uncle.

But then I thought, maybe he would die here soon, so there is no need to think about these things.

From the Battle of Shanghai to the present, the Gui army has suffered heavy casualties, but no one has ever complained, and no one has ever chosen to surrender and become a puppet soldier.

"People only know that Sichuan people cry at dawn, but they don't know that every household in Guangxi hangs white silk."

"You have only heard of the bravery of the men of Sichuan, but you have not heard of the heroic spirit of the heroic army of Guiling that shook the world."

Since so many people have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, it doesn't matter if these two families die. There is no need to think about anything else. Just do it. Killing one will break even, and killing two will make a profit.

"Chief of Staff, Xiao Xie led the special forces company to successfully break through, at least he left some blood and bones for our 516th Regiment, and there is hope for reconstruction in the future."

At this time, Chief of Staff Hu said hesitantly: "Commander, given the current situation, our 516th Regiment can no longer retreat unscathed. We can hold out until dark. By then, I will have the guards fight their way out and cover you in breaking out of the encirclement."

"I will lead the remaining brothers to hold back the pursuing Japanese. As long as you can successfully break out, our 516th Regiment still has hope."

However, after hearing this, Commander Jiang immediately expressed his opposition and said that he was willing to live and die with his brothers.

"Chief of Staff, I know you mean well, but I don't agree. The Guard Company is the last trump card of our 516th Regiment. Once they leave, the others won't be able to hold on for long."

"Besides, we haven't eaten for several days. Even if we break out, we can't run far. Rather than being caught up by the enemy, it's better to hold on and wait for help. Maybe the whole regiment still has a chance to survive."

Seeing that Commander Jiang had made up his mind, Chief of Staff Hu did not say much. However, he still winked at the captain of the guard company beside him, and Captain Wang nodded imperceptibly.

There are some things that are beyond the control of their commander, so if the situation is unsuccessful, they will just knock Commander Jiang unconscious and let the guard company take him out. All the responsibilities will be borne by him as the chief of staff.

Even if Captain Chiang blamed him later, it didn't matter since he had already died for his country.

Although he also knew that even if they broke through, there was no guarantee of absolute safety, but the chief of staff could no longer care about so much. Even if there was a 30% chance, he would take a gamble. It was better than the entire regiment dying here.

As long as the regiment commander is alive, he can lead the troops to kill another thousand or eight hundred Japanese devils in the future, which will be regarded as revenge for their sacrificed brothers.

Suddenly, the guard at the door ran in and said that Captain Xie had returned and brought back reinforcements.

After hearing this, Commander Jiang and Chief of Staff Hu were overjoyed. As long as there was reinforcement, their 516th Regiment would be saved.

As soon as the others came in, the chief of staff couldn't wait to ask:

"How many friendly troops have come? Are they the Central Army or our Gui Army?"

"Chief of Staff, is it the Eighth Route Army?"

When they heard that it was the Eighth Route Army, Commander Jiang and Chief of Staff Hu were a little disappointed. The main reason was that the Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped and bullets were scarce, so they couldn't be of much help.

But if there are enough people, it can also play a big role.

"How many soldiers from the Eighth Route Army are here this time?"

"There are 51 people in total. Twelve of them came with me. The rest are ready to attack the Japanese from behind. As long as we cooperate well, we can definitely defeat the Japanese in front of us."
