A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

In this battle, the Fourth Battalion consumed a lot of ammunition.

Six fully automatic rifles and two light machine guns opened fire at full capacity, and in just ten minutes, they fired nearly three thousand rounds of ammunition.

As for ordinary soldiers holding ordinary Hanyang, Type 38, Xinsi and other bolt-action rifles, their ammunition consumption is not large.

Basically, each person only fired a few bullets.

The entire 4000th Battalion consumed a total of rounds of ammunition!

There is no doubt that such consumption is extremely terrifying and wasteful.

You know, the total amount of ammunition currently in the Fourth Battalion is only 10,000 rounds!

A 40% loss in one go.

However, since the combat mission was completed and the goal was achieved in a short time, this loss was worthwhile and not a loss!

Compared with the spoils captured from this Japanese squadron, these losses were nothing.

In this battle, a total of 140 Type 140 rifles and bayonets were seized from the Japanese.

About 6.5mm Type rifle bullets were seized.

Under normal circumstances, a Japanese soldier would carry 120 rounds of ammunition.

Of the 120 rounds of bullets, 60 are placed in the front waist belt pocket for easy use at any time.

Another 60 rounds of ammunition are stored in backpacks or squadron headquarters as spare ammunition or for use in light machine guns.

If the Japanese soldiers want to use spare ammunition, they need to ask the sergeant or the squad leader for permission.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to seize hundreds of bullets from a Japanese soldier.

But this battle did create a miracle. As soon as the Japanese squadron appeared, they were caught off guard and dizzy, with no chance or conditions to fight back.

The Japanese heavy weapons did not play any role at all, otherwise the Fourth Battalion would not have fought this battle so smoothly.

Nine light machine guns, two heavy machine guns and nine grenade launchers were seized.

These equipments are almost the total amount of equipment captured in the last ambush at Heiyunkou.

Now the other three battalions of the entire new regiment combined do not have as much equipment as the fourth battalion.

The only regret is that the real high-powered weapon, the Type 97 mortar, was not seized this time.

The Type 97 mortar is usually equipped in the Japanese battalion, and will only be distributed to ordinary Japanese squadrons under special circumstances unless there are special reasons.

This Japanese squadron was the vanguard, and they were basically traveling light and fast, so it was normal that they did not carry heavy mortars.

In addition, the Fourth Battalion also obtained more than 20 first aid kits.

Each first aid kit contains a roll of hemostatic gauze, a bottle of hemostatic powder, a bottle of iodine for disinfection, as well as a hemostatic bandage and several sulfa tablets and other antibiotics to prevent wound infection.

"These are all good stuff! As expected of the devils from the 109th Division, they are really rich."

After seeing the contents of these medical first aid kits, Zheng Kaixuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

In fact, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, many soldiers did not die in the charge, but died from infected and inflamed wounds.

At that time, the medical emergency conditions of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas were very poor, and medicines and medical supplies were extremely scarce.

Many soldiers lost their precious lives due to excessive blood loss after being injured or subsequent wound infection and inflammation.

The value of these first aid kits is no less than that of the equipment seized previously.

This infantry company should belong to the Japanese army, and it carries a full range of equipment.

Even the Fourth Engineer Shovel Battalion seized more than a hundred.

With an engineer shovel, you no longer need to carry heavy shovels, pickaxes and other things when digging trenches in the future.

Of course, what Zheng Kaixuan was most concerned about was the Japanese epaulettes.

He sent Chen Shengli with two squads of soldiers to collect all the Japanese epaulettes.

The news that Battalion Commander Zheng Kaixuan liked to collect Japanese epaulettes had already spread throughout the New 1st Regiment, and the soldiers of the 4th Battalion were no longer surprised.

Take out all the epaulettes and place them in front of you for the system to identify.

Zheng Kaixuan was surprised to find that this time he had killed a total of 70 devils by himself!

In other words, this time almost 40% of the Japanese soldiers were killed by him alone.

In fact, this is mainly due to the contribution of those level 6 triumph grenades.

In the blink of an eye, the battlefield was cleaned up.

Zheng Kaixuan was holding these epaulettes and preparing to exchange them for modified accessories in an effort to make a few more fully automatic rifles.

However, before doing this, he habitually picked up his ten-level fully automatic rifle and used the eight-fold scope as a telescope to observe into the distance.

You don’t know until you see it. When Zheng Kaixuan saw it, he was immediately shocked.

The Japanese battalion headquarters had quietly arrived two kilometers away from them and stopped quietly.

A Japanese commander, holding a telescope, was quietly observing the position of the Fourth Battalion.

Next to the Japanese commander, several soldiers were half-kneeling, each holding a shell in their arms!

Next to these Japanese soldiers, four Type 97 mortars are lined up in a row!

Several Japanese gunners were adjusting the mortar's muzzle angle, aiming at the position of the Fourth Battalion.

"Damn it! This devil captain is so fucking insidious."

Zheng Kaixuan suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

The range of the Japanese Type 97 mortar is as high as 2800 meters! From more than meters away, they can launch long-range artillery strikes against them!

The Fourth Battalion's position has now been exposed, and it is impossible to catch the Japanese by surprise again.

If they don't change their strategy now, they will just have to make calls passively.

The situation was urgent, Zheng Kaixuan didn't care about anything else and started shouting at the soldiers around him.

"Brothers! Quick! Everyone get into the trenches! Retreat along the trenches! Quick!"

When everyone heard Zheng Kaixuan's shout, they immediately jumped into the trench with their spoils as fast as possible, and then ran back along the trench tunnel with their backs crouched.

The New 1st Regiment dug a total of four trenches this time.

Zheng Kaixuan followed the soldiers and retreated to the trench behind them, crouching down.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At this moment, the Japanese mortars fired, and four shells in a row all hit near the first trench where Zheng Kaixuan and others had just been.

Shrapnel flew everywhere, smoke and dust filled the air, spreading across the Fourth Battalion's position like a sandstorm stirred up by a tornado.

The first and second trenches collapsed in many places due to this round of bombing, and half of the tunnels were buried in sand.

Zheng Kaixuan took a deep breath and secretly thanked himself for discovering it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"what--"

At this moment, some of the soldiers screamed.

Among the soldiers who retreated more slowly, seven or eight were unfortunately hit in the back by flying shrapnel. Their cotton coats were pierced by the fragments and blood immediately flowed out.

Fortunately, they were only in the edge area of ​​the shell explosion and were only injured, and nothing serious happened.

Zheng Kaixuan immediately asked someone to apply hemostatic powder to them to stop the bleeding first. The wounds could only be treated later.

"Kaixuan, what should we do? The Japanese mortars are too powerful. We won't be able to hold out for long if this continues."

Wang Xikui asked anxiously.

Zheng Kaixuan looked at the dust in the air before him, and made the right decision without any hesitation.

"Retreat! Retreat to the village and use our strengths to engage in street fighting with the Japs! Even if we have to fight to the bitter end today, we're going to wear them down!"
