New Regiment Headquarters
"Deputy Commander Zhong, Commander, they won the battle." Li Yunlong went to fight, while Deputy Commander Zhong Zhicheng stayed at the regiment headquarters to look after the house, and a correspondent came back to report the good news.
Zhong Zhicheng, who was looking at the intelligence materials, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he had won the battle.
Although he knew that the regiment leader Li Yunlong was a good fighter, he was worried about whether this positional battle would be possible because he had never seen Li Yunlong fight before.
Now when he heard that Li Yunlong had won the battle, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
Zhong Zhicheng looked at the correspondent, "Are there many casualties among the troops?"
"It's not big. We and the independent regiment combined have less than 200 casualties." The correspondent replied.
"What, the total casualties between us and the independent regiment are less than 200?" Zhong Zhicheng paused.
This is positional warfare, not comparable to guerrilla warfare.
When fighting guerrillas, you can use terrain cover to launch cold shots, lay mines, launch cold arrows, etc.
If you win, you fight, if you don't win, you run away, so casualties in guerrilla warfare are generally not large.
But positional warfare is different. It is a head-on confrontation with the enemy. You cannot retreat easily. In many cases, human lives are exchanged for positions.
On the frontal battlefield, why the Chinese army suffered so many casualties is because they basically fought positional warfare.
They had to face indiscriminate bombardment from Japanese aircraft and artillery on the battlefield, so the number of casualties was very heavy.
In front of them, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie led their troops to fight a positional battle with Fujimura Noichi and Jiang Deshui. If nothing else, the power of the six cannons was no joke.
Li Yunlong won the battle with less than 200 casualties, which was incredible.
"Deputy Commander Zhong, the main reason is that we have a geographical advantage and the Japanese traitors' artillery can't bear the fire." The correspondent explained, "The most important thing is that the Japanese squadron underestimated the enemy. They thought they had figured out our important firepower points, but the regiment commander They secretly changed places. When they charged, they did not destroy our important firepower points. With a backhand strike, we destroyed all the important firepower points of the Japanese squadron. We launched a counter-suppression and countercharge against them in an instant. The morale of the Japanese traitors quickly collapsed. ”
"So that's it." Zhong Zhicheng nodded. He thought that the two sides were constantly fighting for positions. The troops of the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment were constantly braving artillery fire. The New Regiment and the Independent Regiment did not suffer heavy casualties from the six cannons. , defeating the enemy's attack as soon as they meet face to face, and then chasing them all the way, the number of casualties will indeed be small.
"Vice Commander Zhong, there is good news." The correspondent continued: "All six cannons have been saved."
"What, what did you say, have all six cannons been saved?" When Zhong Zhicheng heard this, his voice changed with excitement.
Cannon, this is not easy to capture.
When the enemy is defeated, he will destroy important weapons immediately, and cannon is one of them.
In the past, Li Yunlong captured an Italian cannon, which made all parties extremely coveted.
This time, even six cannons were saved?
"Yes, all six cannons were saved. Our New Regiment got five and the Independent Regiment got one." The correspondent nodded, "Thanks to Wu Ze."
"What, have you seen Wu Ze?" Zhong Zhicheng was stunned. He remembered that he had wanted to see Wu Ze many times before, but Li Yunlong had always been prevaricated, saying that Wu Ze had been assigned another secret mission.
Now, thanks to Wu Ze, six cannons were saved.
Could this be the secret military mission Li Yunlong mentioned?
Let Wu Ze lie in ambush secretly, waiting for an opportunity to seize the enemy's cannon?
"Yes, I saw Wu Ze." The correspondent said excitedly, "Deputy Commander Zhong, you don't know how critical the situation was at that time. After the Japanese traitors were demoralized, they desperately tried to destroy the cannon. Sun Desheng The leader could not stop all the puppet soldiers, and there were more than a dozen puppet soldiers holding explosive packs to go to the bomb box. Fortunately, Wu Ze shot one of the explosive packs, killing more than a dozen puppet soldiers. Got kicked down."
"Wu Ze knows how to shoot?" Zhong Zhicheng was stunned.
"Yes, thanks to Wu Ze for shooting, otherwise the six cannons would have been gone." The correspondent nodded.
"Where's Wu Ze?"
"When I came back, the captain seemed to have something to discuss with him." The correspondent replied, "Vice Captain Zhong, don't worry about this. When the captain comes back, Wu Ze will definitely come back with him."
"Yeah." Zhong Zhicheng hummed, "You go and have a rest."
"Yes." The correspondent also took a rest.
Zhong Zhicheng picked up the phone and immediately reported it to the brigade headquarters.
In fact, the brigade headquarters already knew the good news by this time, and the brigade commander was on his way.
But after listening to Zhong Zhicheng's report, the people at the brigade were even more excited.
After Zhong Zhicheng reported it to the brigade headquarters, he waited for Li Yunlong to come back.
As a result, Zhong Zhicheng did not wait to return to Li Yunlong, but only waited to return to the second and third battalions of the New Regiment, as well as the prisoners escorted back and a large number of captured weapons, ammunition and wounded soldiers.
As for the cannons, only three were seen, and the other three were not seen.
"Where's the leader? Why didn't he come back with you?" Zhong Zhicheng frowned when he saw the situation.
He didn't see Li Yunlong coming back with the first battalion. Based on his experience, the regiment leader Li Yunlong might have acted without authorization again.
"Report to the deputy commander. The commander asked us to come back first. He didn't say anything else." The people from the second battalion replied.
"Where are the other three cannons? Were they taken away by the regiment commander?" Zhong Zhicheng asked.
"Yes."
"Okay, I understand." Zhong Zhicheng nodded, while arranging the logistics personnel of the regiment to treat the wounded soldiers, count weapons and ammunition, and deal with prisoners.
He returned to the regiment headquarters, and Li Yunlong acted without authorization again. This matter had to be reported.
Zhong Zhicheng had just picked up the phone, and before he started shaking the phone, he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from outside the regiment headquarters, and the excited voice of the brigade commander: "Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, come out quickly!"
The brigade commander is here! !
Zhong Zhicheng paused and then put down the phone.
Now that the brigade commander is here, report to the brigade commander in person.
When Zhong Zhicheng walked out of the regiment headquarters, the brigade commander jumped off his horse and walked in front of the three cannons. He smiled so hard that his ears went behind his ears: "Hahaha, Li Yunlong, you kid really made a fortune, hahaha!"
"But why are there only three cannons? Didn't I say that they were all captured? Where are the other three? Li Yunlong, don't give me any discounts, don't let this kid Li Yunlong hide them." The brigade commander was happy. , found that there were only three cannons, and screamed again: "Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, come out quickly, I tell you, I know that you have wrapped all the cannons, you still want to hide it privately, you You are so courageous that you dare to hide three cannons. Come out quickly and take out the other three cannons for me..."
