It took less than 20 minutes for the team from the Heyuan County Brigade to arrive at the North Slope stronghold.
Seeing that the originally majestic turrets in the stronghold were now blown to pieces, everyone felt a bit happy.
Everyone thinks: The little devil who was so stubborn will also end up today! Deserve it!
Su Zhen waved his hand, and everyone rushed into the stronghold, screaming with excitement.
"Captain, there are a lot of bullet casings here, all made of copper!"
"Captain, I'm rich! There is a bullet bag here with 23 bullets in it!"
"I also picked up a tortoise box, and there were 8 bullets in the gun!"
"There's a Hanyang gun here. The butt of the gun was blown up, but it seems to still be usable!"
"I found a kettle that's a little deflated. I'll go back to the blacksmith and give it a try. I'm sure it can be fixed!"
…
The soldiers of the county brigade, like opening a blind box, searched for all kinds of useful things in every corner of the stronghold. They were more excited than the Chinese New Year!
Seeing this scene, Captain Su Zhen was also happy.
His county brigade has made a fortune!
However, political commissar Fang Ding'an looked a little confused.
I couldn't help but walked over to Su Zhen and said:
"Lao Su, why do I feel that the people who have established a stronghold may not be our main force!
This battlefield was not cleaned very carefully!
Not to mention the thousands of bullet casings that were not picked up, just intact bullets. I think comrades picked up hundreds of them at least.
Our main force can't do this kind of thing, right?
Even a little devil who has no shortage of weapons and ammunition would not even pick up bullets when cleaning the battlefield, right? "
“Old Fang, what you say makes sense.
We all know the situation of the main force. Although the weapons and equipment are more abundant than those of our county brigade, there is still a shortage of bullets.
There really shouldn't be so many bullets left behind when cleaning the battlefield.
But if we didn’t attack this stronghold on the Eighth Route Army, then who was it?
Are they bandits?
Although this bandit from northwestern Shanxi occasionally robbed a Japanese transport team, when did he have the courage to attack a Japanese stronghold?
How did they establish this stronghold?
There are dozens of little Japs and several heavy machine guns in this stronghold! "
Su Zhen was also suspicious.
Obviously they couldn't figure out the answer to this question.
Fang Ding'an immediately stopped worrying about the matter:
“It’s really confusing.
Let's report this situation to our superiors later. Maybe they will have news. "
…
At this time, suddenly a soldier who ran to the gun tower to search exclaimed:
"Captain, come quickly!
There is actually a heavy machine gun here! "
"What? Heavy machine gun?
Didn’t we make a fortune? "
Hearing this, Su Zhen suddenly screamed.
I feel like my heart is pounding.
What would happen if the county brigade had a heavy machine gun?
So beautiful!
He quickly ran into the turret with Fang Ding'an, three steps at a time, climbed to the second floor through the trembling stairs, and immediately saw several little Japs inside who had also had their coats and military boots stripped off. corpse.
However, their attention was immediately attracted by the Type 92 heavy machine gun lying on the ground.
Su Zhen ran forward, held up the heavy machine gun, and inspected it carefully. He suddenly felt very regretful.
"The barrel of the gun was bent and the ammunition feed port was damaged. It can't be fired!"
"Can it still be repaired?"
Fang Ding'an asked quickly.
"We definitely don't have this skill, so we can only send it back to our superiors to see if it can be sent to the border arsenal for repair."
Su Zhen was so distressed that she almost shed tears.
If this heavy machine gun hadn't broken down, his Heyuan county brigade would have become richer!
…
It took an hour for the soldiers from the county brigade to dig up and search the North Slope stronghold. Finally, they found one usable crooked light machine gun, two 38-guns, seven Hanyang-made guns, and bastard guns. There were fifteen pistols in the box, more than 430 bullets of various types, and even 12 Japanese melon grenades.
As for the damaged Type 92 heavy machine guns, crooked handles, grenades, 38 large covers, Hanyang-made, bastard boxes and other types of firearms, there were more than 20 firearms in total.
As for the cartridge cases that can be used to reload bullets, thousands of them were picked up in total!
Among them, thousands were picked up in the stronghold, and nearly two thousand were picked up in a position a few hundred meters outside the stronghold!
What a bumper harvest!
Su Zhen looked at this pile of things, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
I couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
“We’ve made a fortune this time!
This is much more rewarding than ambushing a few lone little devils as usual!
It's like pie falling from the sky, falling on our heads! "
Fang Ding'an also nodded repeatedly:
"good!
With these equipment, the strength of our county brigade has become even stronger!
It seems that those who took down this stronghold are indeed not our main force.
If the main force dared to clean the battlefield like this, their military chief would have been withdrawn by their superiors.
And Lao Su, look at these bullet casings, there are so many, it’s simply unbelievable that such a waste of bullets is achieved when attacking such a stronghold! "
"yes.
When I was in the 719th Regiment, any company commander or platoon leader who dared not seriously direct the soldiers to clean the battlefield would have been dismissed by the regiment commander.
As for bullets, when we fight a blockade, we can only get a few bullets per person at most. How can we waste 2,000 bullets in a stronghold like this?
The commander of this team should be shot immediately. What a waste of bullets! "
Su Zhen agreed.
He was a squad leader of the 719th Regiment before being sent to the Heyuan County Brigade by his superiors.
"Captain, now that the stronghold is gone and the railway in front of the stronghold has been bombed, has our mission of bombing the railway been completed?"
one team member asked.
"Of course it has to be completed. If it can cause trouble to the little devil, you can't miss it.
The railway in front of this stronghold was bombed, but walking a few hundred meters eastward, wouldn't it be nice if we could blow up another section?
However, in addition to bombing the railway, I also want to look further west. This group of people can capture the northern slope stronghold, and maybe they will also attack other strongholds. Maybe we can get some more benefits. "
Su Zhen chuckled.
Hearing this, Fang Ding'an's eyes widened and he exclaimed:
"Old Su, you are daydreaming!
How could such a good thing happen? "
"Let's try it. What if it happens?"
Su Zhen answered casually.
Then he immediately ordered the soldiers to blow up the railway to the east of the stronghold, and then carried the loot he picked up and headed west along the railway line.
Then they were stunned.
After passing three blockhouses in a row, I saw the corpses of little Japanese soldiers lying everywhere, and it was a mess.
And in every turret, they could pick up a lot of loot after searching.
There are not necessarily many intact weapons, but tortoise boxes and bullet casings can be seen everywhere.
Until the fourth time, although the turret was also breached, the battlefield was completely cleaned, and not even a bullet casing or a shrapnel was found.
Su Zhen and Fang Ding'an looked at each other and hurried to the next blockhouse. After finding the same thing, they realized that the adventure of making money for the Heyuan County Brigade was over.
The soldiers could only be ordered to return to their base.
On the way, he discussed with Fang Ding'an:
"Old Fang, it seems like the main force is back.
Look at the two gun towers at the back. How clean the battlefield is!
Not a single bullet casing was left for us. "
"yes!
But what about the stronghold and three gun towers in front?
Is it a joint operation between the main force and other friendly forces? "
Fang Ding'an's face was full of confusion.
"Go back and report to your superiors. Maybe there will be news from your superiors."
"Well, Lao Su, we still need to send someone to find out about the main troops nearby.
Since the main force attacked the artillery tower last night, it may be active near Heyuan County in the future. We must establish contact as soon as possible and follow the instructions of the main force!
And now we have no shortage of guns and ammunition, but we still lack some cadres. If the main force can send us a few cadres, the combat effectiveness of our county brigade will definitely be improved a lot. Maybe if we fight two more battles, we will be defeated. The superiors have upgraded it to the Heyuan County Independent Battalion! "
"That's right. I'll send Xiaowuzi to lead people to conduct reconnaissance when I get back."
