Bright Sword: Construction starts from southeastern Shanxi

“除了有部分损坏的之外。这次一共缴获400多支步枪、15挺轻机枪、18具掷弹筒、12挺重机枪和两门92式步兵炮。”

"There's no need to worry about ammunition. We captured Pingding so suddenly this time that the Japanese barely used up any of their ammunition. All of it was captured."

"In addition, there were two radios and 20 large yellow croakers found in Hirata Masatake's home."

"As for these traitorous landlords, the money seized so far is worth 300,000 yuan and more than 70 small yellow croakers."

“Other locations are being counted.”

Political Commissar Peng Zhufeng was also excited after hearing Liu Ping's words.

In addition to the weapons and equipment seized from the county town, the 117th Regiment was also captured outside the city.

However, many of the weapons and equipment of the 117th Regiment were damaged, and a lot of ammunition was also consumed after the fierce attack of the Japanese.

This battle between the 758th Regiment and the 117th Wing was basically a losing deal.

At the same time, according to the casualty data collected this time, the casualties of the entire regiment in this defense were somewhat beyond the expectations of several people.

In the first battalion defending the position, more than one hundred people were killed and more than three hundred others suffered minor injuries of varying degrees.

More than 100 people were killed or wounded in other battalions and directly affiliated units, and more than 500 were injured.

The entire regiment lost more than 200 people in the battle. In addition to the more than 500 people who were treated on the spot, more than 300 people needed to be sent to the military hospital for treatment.

Originally, the regiment commander Zhang Jing and the political commissar Peng Zhufeng felt that this battle would be a tough one, and the 758th Regiment might suffer heavy casualties.

I didn't expect the casualties this time to be so small.

In this case, it is probably true as the previous intelligence said, that this group of Japanese soldiers were sent to the battlefield without much training.

After summarizing this battle, it’s time to talk about distribution.

After thinking about it, Peng Zhufeng said to Liu Ping.

"Secretary Liu, this time our group has plucked the peaches from your county committee."

“I believe that even without our regiment, your county committee can take Pingding. Otherwise, how about this.”

"This time, we seized more than just ammunition and equipment for a battalion. The rest, including the two infantry guns, were left to the local forces. We also captured six usable artillery guns from the Japanese artillery squadron. The remaining dozen or so damaged ones were taken to the arsenal for repair and can be used by our brigade."

"Of course, our regiment won't be able to keep the money. Apart from the activity funds, the rest will be handed over to Political Commissar Deng Xie after the war. After all, Political Commissar Deng Xie is now in charge of Tainan affairs."

"As for how much equipment you can leave behind, that depends on your location."

After listening to Peng Zhufeng's words, Liu Ping looked at the local group leader Yang Kai and asked uncertainly.

"Commissar Peng, are you telling the truth?"

"Do you want to take all the equipment? You know, we don't usually fight much here. It would be a complete waste to keep so many weapons here. If that doesn't work, you can hand them over to the brigade."

After listening to this, Zhang Jing waved her hand.

"Secretary Liu, our regiment has a mission this time and cannot carry so much equipment."

"Besides, we can't expand that many troops at once. If Captain Yang's regiment is fully equipped, they can definitely support other local regiments!"

"Besides, any future expansion will also be drawn from local forces. I think it's very necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen the local groups."

After listening to what Captain Zhang said, Secretary Liu no longer cared and nodded.

The local group leader Yang Kai was suddenly excited.

After all, so much equipment was seized this time. Although many guns and weapons of the other two battalions of the 117th Regiment were broken, there were still hundreds of intact Type 38 rifles. At the same time, even if some of the light and heavy machine guns and artillery were damaged, they were enough to arm their local regiments to the same level as the main force.
