The charge of the third row became the final reminder for the Kudo Japs. Their few men only lasted for a few minutes before they were all torn to pieces by the angry soldiers!
Kudo Jaiko was also shot several times, ending his sinful life.
When Wen San led his troops to catch up, the Japanese had almost no organized troops. There were only a handful of Japanese soldiers lying on the ground, occasionally firing one or two cold shots.
"Company commander, the third platoon leader Gao Xiaobing died." Wang Mazi ran over with a look of regret on his face and a very heavy heart.
"What's going on? Did the Japs still rush out of Jiazi Ditch under the fire at the top of the mountain?" Wen San's face darkened. He hadn't had time to understand the situation of the battle.
"Gao Xiaobing's troops took the initiative to lead the charge forward and died in a head-on battle with the Japanese."
"Oh, this guy is hot-headed again..." Wen San felt heartbroken. This was a platoon leader who had spent a lot of effort to develop, and it was really heartbreaking to die in a battle with such an absolute advantage.
"Attack all together and wipe out all the Japs in Jiazigou." Wen San was in a bad mood. It's not that he can't tolerate casualties in the troops, it's just that such casualties are really inappropriate.
But Gao Xiaobing has already died, so what is there to blame? After all, this is also a heroic performance on his part, which is worthy of praise.
Wen's three troops gathered together and quickly eliminated all the Japanese in Jiazigou. Lao Wan and other platoon leaders saw Wen San's dark face and none of them dared to make any noise.
The entire army was cleaning the battlefield in silence, and the mood was indeed a bit depressing.
The final battle damage report came out. Gao Xiaobing's third platoon had 7 dead and 15 injured. He suffered the most casualties among all the teams.
The ministries on the top of the mountain suffered the smallest casualties, with only three soldiers killed in total. This was caused by the Japanese shooting them black when clearing the battlefield. The remaining 21 people were slightly injured and 1 was seriously injured.
There were no casualties in Pangdun's reconnaissance platoon and Zhou Zhengbiao's teaching team.
"Take all the sacrificed soldiers away! Be happy. Today is a big victory. The first credit goes to Liu Dezhu. Without the mines he made, even if we try our best, we still can't kill Kudo. Brigade.”
Wen San's mind remained clear, and this battle was indeed fought beautifully. Killing a Japanese army at such a small cost is comparable to a drama.
The main reason is that the Japanese have never suffered from land mine warfare. Liu Dezhu was too ruthless and filled every mine with gunpowder. The power was far greater than expected, destroying most of the heavy weapons of Kudo's brigade in one fell swoop.
The Japanese had low morale and were blocked in the extremely unfavorable terrain of Jiazigou, which was why they achieved such results. If you analyze it carefully, it's not so magical.
Wen San did not expand. He knew exactly how much work the soldiers did before the war. In order to occupy the favorable terrain, they froze in the mountains almost all night. Many soldiers had runny noses and sneezing, probably because they had caught a cold.
After returning to the camp, I have to ask Old Yangtou to make some hot soup for the soldiers to drink, which may provide some relief.
Don't underestimate these cold symptoms. If too many people have colds, it will still significantly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army. In the case of a severe cold, the soldier may even die. Especially those injured warriors are very dangerous.
Fortunately, Wen San recruited a team of medical soldiers, hoping that Fang Mei and Yang Xiaolin could help him solve this troublesome problem.
After the troops came back, all the new recruits gathered around. Everyone was very excited to see everyone bringing back a large number of light and heavy weapons. At this time, the soldiers finally showed their smiling faces. Only the soldiers in the third row were still depressed and in sorrow.
Wen San first buried the fallen soldiers and called all the new soldiers over to make them aware of the cruelty of war, and at the same time warned them that they must obey the commands of the veterans.
The funeral was solemn and solemn, with everyone saluting and sending the martyrs to rest in peace and return to their hometown.
After the soldiers rested, Wen San called the commanders of each squad and platoon over for a post-war summary meeting. Wen San took the initiative to take responsibility for Gao Xiaobing's sacrifice and admitted that it was a problem with his own arrangements, which caused Gao Xiaobing's platoon to rush forward to attack.
Regarding this matter, everyone remained silent and listened quietly to Wen San's account.
Wen San then praised Liu Dezhu and Ma Xiaojun and promised to establish a landmine manufacturing department based on them.
When Liu Dezhu heard that a group of Japanese soldiers had been killed, he cried for joy on the spot. I solemnly express my condolences to the spirits of my wife and children in heaven, and I have already avenged them.
"Company Commander, now that we have recruited so many new soldiers, should we make some adjustments to the establishment?" Lao Wan saw that the post-war summary was almost complete, and then he raised a new question.
Wen No. 3 Division originally had three basic combat platoons, a heavy machine gun platoon, an artillery platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, a teaching team, a communications class, and a cooking class.
Now the staff has suddenly expanded to more than 500 people. It is definitely not possible to add more staff to the original establishment. If the number of soldiers in a platoon is too large, it is not conducive to command. On the contrary, it can easily cause confusion in the organization and result in ineffective combat.
"What do you think of being directly upgraded to a battalion-level combat unit?" Wen San did not hide it. The strength of the troops has increased, and the organization must be upgraded.
"There is no problem with the upgrade, but we don't have the corresponding appointment..." Lao Wan said with some embarrassment.
Their situation is indeed a bit embarrassing. After all, it has not been recognized by the government, so it is somewhat unfair and unfair.
"Don't worry about that. The general is out there, and your life is not up to you! With all the achievements we have made, it is not too much to be promoted to a regiment-level combat unit." Wen San is very bold. This unit belongs to him, and the role of his existence is Just kill more devils.
At present, no one wants to rely on it, so why care about those related appointments.
With Wen San's insistence, everyone let go of their knots.
"I plan to upgrade four companies first. Lao Wan's heavy machine gun platoon was expanded into a machine gun company with three platoons of troops. The first and second platoons were expanded into company-level combat units, and the troops of the third platoon were incorporated into the first and second platoons, and the company The commanders are Ding Damao and Li Baisha. Platoon leaders at all levels are promoted by squad leaders, who promote themselves."
Wen San originally wanted to upgrade all three basic platoons, but Gao Xiaobing died, leaving him short of a company commander. After careful consideration, the three rows were decomposed and merged. When there are enough troops in the future, it will not be too late to expand.
"The combat mission of the reconnaissance platoon is getting heavier and heavier, and it has been upgraded to a reconnaissance company. However, in terms of personnel, you are only given two platoons for the time being. You have to work hard to train them into qualified scouts."
"The teaching team was officially upgraded to a platoon-level combat unit, with Zhou Zhengbiao as the platoon leader. The communications class was upgraded to a communications platoon, with Wang Mazi as the platoon leader. Lao Yangtou's cooking class was upgraded to the logistics department, and the personnel were expanded to the strength of a platoon. , Lao Yang is appointed as the head of the logistics department."
"In addition, twelve female soldiers form a medical rescue squad. Fang Mei and Yang Xiaolin serve as squad leaders and deputy squad leaders."
"We are all company commanders, what about you?" Tintinmao interrupted.
"Of course, I will be promoted to battalion commander." Wen San said unceremoniously.
