Kong Jie and Ding Wei only dispatched two reinforced platoons, captured Xiao'an Town, captured a group of puppet troops, and surrendered a group of puppet troops. It can be said that they returned with a full load.
A lot was seized, of course, mainly military supplies and the like.
Xiao'an Town is considered one of the small transportation hubs for Japanese supplies.
As for weapons and equipment, don't think too much about it. Having a Type 92 infantry cannon already made Kong Jie and Ding Wei call it a miracle. This is not an arms transportation hub for the Japanese.
However, Kong Jie and Ding Wei's team succeeded in the sneak attack and captured Xiao'an Town relatively quickly. Even the guns and ammunition seized from the outer fortifications of the gun towers and the Japanese and puppet troops inside Xiao'an Town were quite considerable.
There were more than a dozen crooked light machine guns seized from the three turrets, and there was even a heavy machine gun in the central turret.
In addition to the five heavy machine guns captured by Kong Jie and Ding Wei in the peripheral fortifications in advance, a total of six heavy machine guns were seized.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there is a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army, even if a Japanese army brigade is completely annihilated, such a number of light and heavy machine guns may not be captured. The little devils will gather their weapons in advance and blow them up before they know they are destroyed, and they will not Leave it to the Eighth Route Army.
The little devil knew very well that the Eighth Route Army's weapons and equipment were scarce, and a large part of them depended on seizures.
In addition, nine grenade launchers were seized. According to the previous agreement between Kong Jie and Ding Wei, Ding Wei received six grenades and Kong Jie received three.
After arriving at the Independence Regiment base, the other guns and ammunition, plus the seized living supplies, were divided in half between the two.
In Ding Wei's low-key words, "I made a small fortune."
Kong Jie yelled, "Don't come to me for this kind of thing in the future. Originally, I was just full by eating all this fat meat. When you came, I was half full. Where can I go to reason with you?" ?”
"Haha, Old Ding, don't say anything anymore. This time I have benefited from you. I owe you a favor."
"What a great relationship!" Kong Jie laughed. It was not easy to get Ding Wei to admit that he owed a favor.
The equipment and supplies were quickly distributed. When Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao were preparing to bring the allocated supplies and equipment back to the new regiment's station, Ding Wei asked, "Old Kong, there is something I have always wanted to ask. You, how did you convince the puppet troops in Xiao'an Town to surrender? Judging from the hard work of the surrendering puppet troops during the night attack on Xiao'an Town, they are very determined."
Kong Jie didn't hide it and said with a smile: "Wang An and those people were developed in advance through the enemy's Ministry of Industry."
Kong Jie then told Ding Wei in detail how he used the enemy's Industry Department developed by the puppet army and used the enemy's Industry Department to infiltrate the Japanese army and obtain Japanese intelligence.
Ding Wei heard this with emotion, "Old Ding, Old Ding, no wonder when I sent Lao Li to the quilt factory, Lao Li kept saying that you have changed a lot. Today I finally understand that you Kong Erdu is now a smarter Kong. , you have learned to use your brain in battle!"
Kong Jie: "..."
"Old Ding, what a mouthful you are! Are you praising me? Or scolding me?"
"Praise, of course it's praise! And you, the enemy's engineering department, I have to start a new regiment when we get back." Ding Wei said, looking towards the puppet troops not far away who were being gathered for a lecture. Looking at it, "Old Ding, let's discuss with you. Can I get half of this puppet army?"
Kong Jie was happy, "Well, Ding Wei, you really can't afford it early. Didn't you listen to what Wang An said? Just kill Commander Kong of the Sakata Regiment with one shot!"
Ding Wei said with a dark face: "That kid is ignorant. If I were here during the battle in Cangyun Ridge, how could you, Lao Kong, have anything to do with you?"
"Come on, blow, keep blowing!" Kong Jie scorned.
Ding Wei took a look and saw that this old Kong was an iron rooster, and he would never pluck out a dime. The puppet army would probably not be able to separate it. There was no way. He thought for a while and said:
"Old Kong, don't underestimate these puppet troops. It's amazing that they are a little bit worse in combat awareness, but they are also veterans who have been in the army for many years. Basically, they are much better than the new recruits."
"If you make good use of these more than 200 puppet troops, once they are injected into the independent regiment, the combat effectiveness of your independent regiment will definitely increase a lot."
Kong Jie agreed: "That's right. Let's not talk about it from afar. In this night attack on Xiao'an Town, these puppet troops played a big role. Especially that kid Wang An, he was really a little clever at the critical moment."
"But having said that, the most unstable thing about these surrendered puppet troops is their thinking."
"So the transformation of their thinking is a big problem. Unfortunately, my independent group does not have a political commissar, so the work can only be left to the instructors."
Ding Wei scolded: "Come on, Old Ding, I don't know about you? You are just like Old Li. You don't have a political commissar to take care of you. How happy you are!"
The two old comrades chatted for a while, and Ding Wei took Zhang Dabiao and his party away, taking away half of the equipment and supplies.
win-win.
This night attack on Xiao'an Town, both of them gained a lot.
Naturally, there are casualties. The iron-blooded general Li Yunlong looks jovial on the surface, but in his heart he values love and righteousness. Every time a new regiment is able to fight hard, it is like a howling wild wolf, but the casualties are still not small.
As for Lao Li, on the surface he was smiling and talking to the soldiers with pride, like a normal person, but behind his back he was crying like the old ladies.
There's nothing I can do, it's so sad! Kong Jie and Li Yunlong usually regard the soldiers in the regiment as brothers.
This is no joke.
As a soul accustomed to peaceful and prosperous times, it is even more distasteful to see human lives passing away easily. The sacrifice of every soldier will add a bit of weight to Kong Jie's heart.
Independent regiment station, spacious training ground.
Thirteen veterans lay quietly, sleeping forever in this land they loved deeply.
This is the casualty situation on Kong Jie's side during this night attack on Xiao'an Town.
Although the sneak attack in the front went smoothly, after the back was exposed, the Japanese and puppet troops in Xiao'an Town resisted fiercely. Shen Quan had to lead the commando and the reinforced platoon to sneak attack from the flanks. During the charge and the subsequent hand-to-hand hand-to-hand combat, Kong Jie There will inevitably be casualties on the side.
Thirteen veterans were killed, including one who was a member of the commando team.
In addition, more than 20 people were injured in this battle.
"Comrades, have you all seen this? This time we were able to successfully capture Xiao'an Town and achieve such a great victory. It was not for nothing, but a victory earned through the dedication and sacrifice of these brothers!"
"They are all good!"
"They left. They left easily and freely. They completed their mission. I envy them, but what should we living people do next?" Kong Jie's voice became louder and louder, and in the last sentence, it was almost a roar. question.
"Kill the devils, kill the devils——"
The regiment leader Kong Jie's eyes were red, but he held back the tears. The battalion commanders Wang Leihu and Shen Quan had already had red eyes. Some of the soldiers with weaker willpower around them were even more in tears, but they did not scream in unison. When it fell, all the warriors screamed hoarse.
Kong Jie took a deep breath and held back the soreness in his nose.
Many of the dozen or so veterans lying down were calling themselves captains affectionately just two days ago! He pressed his hand, the training ground slowly became quiet, and Kong Jie said:
"Comrades, sing a song! Say goodbye to these comrades, brothers and heroes!"
"stand up!"
"People who don't want to be slaves!"
"Use our flesh and blood to build a new Great Wall!"
"The Chinese nation has arrived at its most dangerous time!"
…
The melody, full of tragic and passionate music, swirled around the entire independent regiment's station for a long time. Tears filled the eyes and filled the clothes of the soldiers...
