The Bantian Regiment was coming with force, but it would be at least a day before they could reach Pingyin County, not to mention that the Japanese troops of the 110th Division on the Western Front were still gathering.
This time, the little devil will change the previous pattern of giving away people's lives. He will surround the Dragon Boat Festival with a large army and kill him on the front line of Pingyin.
In addition, the Japanese Army's aviation force will deploy more aircraft to conduct air strikes against the Dragon Boat Festival Supervision Corps.
Although the hit rate of high-altitude air strikes was not very high, they found that their aircraft could not hit the opponent either, at least the losses would be much smaller.
So this gave them the possibility of continued air strikes.
So at this time, the little devils were making intensive preparations. One hand was to encircle and suppress the army, and the other hand was to carry out air strikes at all costs. Even if an aerial bomb killed a soldier in the supervision team, it was still worth it.
Therefore, there is really nothing the little devils can do against the Dragon Boat Festival. In front of the advanced weapons they are proud of, the Dragon Boat Festival is like a monster.
But they were also a little lucky, thanks to Duanwu's low military rank, otherwise it would be a matter of doubt whether they would have the chance to enter China.
···················
At the same time, the little devil's slow action also gave Dragon Boat Festival some breathing time.
Since the Japanese reinforcements from Feicheng and Dong'a were annihilated, the little Japanese and puppet troops never appeared again.
At noon, the entire teaching corps held a celebration banquet in Pingyin, and people from Pingyin also participated in the banquet.
These people are common people who are relatively courageous, because they were afraid of being caught by strong men before.
So if they are not brave enough, they will take a detour even if they see soldiers, let alone come to eat.
After getting in touch, they finally understood what kind of force the Supervision Corps was. In addition, the recruits from Feicheng also had friends and relatives they knew in Pingyin. This fact actually inspired many juniors to join the supervision team.
If they don't want to join such a unit that can fight, and it's also a direct line unit of the Central Army, then they're out of their minds.
However, this time the old abacus did not show up for the conscription, because he also slept for a while and continued to settle accounts. Chen Shusheng was responsible for recruiting soldiers, and the previous recruit camp was hung in his supply camp for easy management.
So at this time, Chen Shusheng was in charge of the recruitment work, while Duanwu returned to the command room after having a meal with his brothers.
There are still many things to do during the Dragon Boat Festival. For example, Ma Pingan has just received news that the Japanese army is gathering on the east and west roads of Pingyin. And especially on the eastern front, the Sakata Regiment came out in full force, carrying a tank squadron, plus a brigade from the 1st Division of the Royal Association Army, and it seemed that the Royal Guards also had a regiment in this mixed brigade.
The biggest headache during the Dragon Boat Festival is the Royal Guards, because there is a mysterious surprise attack force in this Guards.
His master told him to be careful, he knew what was going on. Therefore, dealing with this force's surprise attack was also put on the Dragon Boat Festival agenda.
Duanwu asked Ma Pingan to continue to monitor the little devil's movements. If he was tired, he could find someone to replace him.
Ma Pingan smiled bitterly, because there were some things that he could only do by himself.
But Duanwu still thought of a way for Ma Ping An, which was to let the communication soldiers of the supervision corps monitor it. If there was a radio signal, he would call Ma Ping An.
Ma Pingan thought this was a good idea, so he followed the Dragon Boat Festival method and found two communications soldiers in the Supervision Corps to assist him.
At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival had just seen off Ma Ping'an, and the old abacus with red eyes came. He took a lot of account books and said with relief: "Everyone in the group has calculated everything clearly."
Duanwu said: "Thank you for your hard work."
The old abacus smirked, and then reported: "I won't say the number of enemies we killed in the regiment, but it was probably two Japanese regiments, at least more than 1,300 puppet troops and Japanese Japs.
Let me first talk about our battle losses. After three days of fighting, the 1st Battalion suffered the most losses, with 431 casualties, followed by the 3rd Battalion, with 350 casualties.
The second battalion suffered 273 casualties, the fourth battalion had 290 casualties, and the fifth battalion's baggage troops lost five people, who were killed in a Japanese air raid. The greatest loss of the fifth battalion was the cavalry battalion, with the number of casualties reaching 171.
Therefore, within three days of fighting, the number of casualties in our army has reached 1,520. "
"so much?"
Duanwu frowned, because he really didn't know, but he was shocked when he realized that the supervision team had lost so many people.
However, at this time, the old abacus said again: "Regiment, but the number of soldiers we have recruited in Feicheng is about 830, which should be supplemented by various ministries. Moreover, Lao Chen from the supply camp is still recruiting soldiers. If we can reach seven Hundreds of people, then our losses can be fully recovered."
Duanwu shook his head and said: "It's useless. There is no comparison between recruits and veterans. What's more, our weapons and ammunition consume a lot, right?"
The old abacus smiled bitterly, and then said: "Master, this is what I want to say to you. We do not have much ammunition. And especially the Soviet weapons, the bullets are almost bottomed out. I am asking them to use them." Replace it with the little devil's crooked handle.
There are also submachine guns with less than 50,000 bullets left. We also need to replenish them, or these bullets will only last one more battle, and then those submachine guns will become scrap metal. Moreover, the loss of submachine guns is also very large. Some were battle damaged, while others were lost or damaged.
And if it weren't for the attrition of the troops, I'm afraid that the original soldiers in each department would no longer be able to guarantee that each person would have a submachine gun. But even so, the new recruits will not be issued with submachine guns, and the combat effectiveness of each battalion will definitely be affected. "
Duanwu nodded and said: "We can't do it without submachine guns. There is still a big gap between the quality of our soldiers and the Japs. If we lose our firepower advantage, our casualties will definitely expand further.
In this way, you will ask the communications soldier to contact the old man and see if he can drop some bullets for me. This can also solve our urgent needs. "
"Yes, Danzao!"
The old abacus responded and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something again: "Tuanmen, we have too many supplies and need to exchange them for cash. You see, should I find some rich people and sell them at low prices?" Are these things sold?”
Duanwu said: "You can handle these things. I can rest assured if I leave them to you."
"It's a group seat."
Old Abacus responded again, then turned around and went out. When he got outside the door, Lao Abacus held his forehead, his vision went dark and he almost fell down.
The guard on the side quickly supported him and said: "Sir, are you okay?"
Old Abacus looked at the guard who cared about him, smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy. I'll be fine after I take a nap."
It's just that the old abacus said he wanted to take a nap, but where did he have this time, because he had to go to Pingyin Town to find a few big merchants to sell some of the gold and silver fines seized by the Supervisory Corps before, and exchange them for cash for recruitment and supplies. Soldiers receive military pay, pensions, etc.
So I'm afraid, this old abacus can't sleep tonight! .
