"Regiment Commander, Political Commissar, our harvest in this battle is very rich!"
In the inner room of the new regiment, the second battalion commander Zheng Yu reported the seizure to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang:
"There are about 1,500 38 rifles and bayonets each."
"More than 50 crooked handle and pheasant neck machine guns."
"More than 800,000 rounds of Arisaka rifle ammunition, and more than 300,000 rounds of 6.5 mm and 7.7 mm machine gun ammunition."
"More than 6,000 grenades and more than 12,000 melon grenades."
"One mountain gun, two infantry guns, five mortars, and 36 grenade launchers."
"One radio and one radio."
"There are also more than 80 command sabers, more than 130 bastard boxes and some pistol ammunition."
The 9th Brigade brought at least 2 million rounds of ammunition for this battle, and only half of them were captured.
There were also more than 5,000 guns, but half of them were blown up by aerial bombs and napalm bombs along with the Japanese.
Even the barrel of the gun in the Japs' hands was melted into molten iron under the high temperature, not to mention the bullets and grenades carried by the Japs.
Therefore, about half of the guns and Japs, and a quarter of the ammunition, were destroyed directly.
It is a pity that the 9th Brigade did not bring spare weapons and equipment when they came out to fight this time. Otherwise, they could have captured at least one more weapon and equipment for the main force.
"In addition, we also seized a lot of property, including more than 1,000 yuan, more than 30,000 yen, 210,000 UnionPay coupons, 30 small gold bars, 41 watches, and some 5 kilograms of small gold nuggets. Most of these were Seized during the battle in Hanjiacun."
Hearing this, Li Yunlong cursed: "These stupid Japanese officers are so damn rich."
The Japs and puppet soldiers we usually encounter seldom carry any property, but the big fish in this net are all Japs officers, all of them are extremely rich, and the Japs officers carry their important belongings with them, which is why so much property can be seized.
"How many casualties did each department suffer?"
Captain Li sat cross-legged on the kang, nodded slightly, looked thoughtful at first, and then asked.
The brigade commander's order has been issued. Half of the battle captures will be handed over, and the remaining three regiments will be divided among themselves.
Of course, Li Yunlong divided it equally. He let the brigade commander take half first, and the remaining three regiments were divided equally, which was still considerable.
For Ding Wei and Kong Jie, it was a small fortune, but for Li Yunlong, it was better than nothing. He didn't have much interest in the Japanese property.
After all, 100 tons of weapons and ammunition, 60 Type 92 infantry guns, and more than 10,000 rounds of artillery shells are the bulk.
"Our new regiment lost 129 killed and 81 wounded."
"142 people of the New Second Regiment died and 94 were injured."
"135 people of the independent regiment died and 89 were injured."
"Total casualties were 670."
Zhao Gang nodded: "The casualties are within an acceptable range. The most important battles are in Dagou Bay and Hanjiacun. The Japs approaching No. 3000 were all killed by air support. Otherwise, the casualties would have been at least two or three times higher."
"Air support... is really a good thing." Commander Li's eyes were hot.
It's really delicious to use airplanes to blow up Japanese soldiers, especially the powerful incendiary bombs. One explosion will burn half of the mountain, and everything in the bombed area will be reduced to ashes.
When I receive the goods this time, I want to ask Brother Chen Feng, what kind of business must be completed to obtain equipment such as airplanes?
More than 5,000 people ambushed more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, and they themselves suffered more than 600 casualties.
If we were to fight head-on with the 3,000 Japs until the end, even if we had a huge advantage in numbers and artillery fire, we would still suffer at least 1,000 to 2,000 casualties.
In other words, this air support not only killed more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers, but also reduced the casualties of more than 1,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers.
Zheng Yu continued to report: "Among the 210 casualties in our regiment, most of them are soldiers from the county brigade."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Yu put the statistical list of seizures, casualties, and ammunition consumption on the table, gave a military salute and walked out.
Li Yunlong said: "After this battle, the combat effectiveness of the county brigade will be qualitatively improved."
"Yes!" Zhao Gang nodded: "Actual combat and victory are the best training!"
In this Dagouwan ambush battle, the county brigade was the main force of the new regiment. Li Yunlong designated the first and second battalions as reserve teams. The county brigade, machine gun battalion and heavy machine gun battalion participated in the ambush battle in order to sharpen the combat effectiveness of the county brigade. .
This Dagouwan ambush battle not only enriched the actual combat experience of the soldiers of the county brigade, but also greatly improved the morale of the soldiers after such a big victory.
"It's a good thing to improve morale, but..."
Li Yunlong said: "We must do a good job in the ideological education of the soldiers in the county brigade. We cannot have contempt for the Japanese just because they have won the battle, and think that the Japanese are vulnerable. That would be a big mistake, and there will be big problems." .”
Zhao Gang said: "The troops are resting for a few days, and I will take charge of the ideological education work of the soldiers in the county brigade."
Li Yunlong mentioned this last time. The ideological education work of the main force was very good, but the county brigade had just been established not long ago, and Chen Dugu often took the troops out to engage in side jobs, so there was some shortcomings in this aspect.
After a pause, Zhao Gang asked again: "Do you want to hand over those belongings?"
"Keep all the watches. Soldiers above the platoon level will each be given a watch." Li Yunlong said, "Hand in all the oceans, gold bars, etc."
In previous battles, the New Regiment had seized many watches from the Japanese, and even most of the commanders above were equipped with watches.
"Turn it all over? Don't you keep some money as funds?" Zhao Gang looked surprised. This is not like the style of Captain Li.
Li Yunlong said: "This money is of no use in our new group. We are not short of food, clothing, weapons and ammunition. We might as well hand it over and pool the money to do big things, such as buying intelligence, buying medicine, and underground Party activities, etc., all require a lot of funds.”
Zhao Gang laughed happily when he heard this. Captain Li has finally grown up, and the situation of this selfish mentality has improved a lot.
It seems that the political lessons I usually teach this guy are very effective.
Zhao Gang added: "Old Li, we completely wiped out the Japanese 9th Brigade this time, and there was a lot of noise."
"Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who is far away in Chongqing, and Commander Yan of the Second War Zone, both sent congratulatory messages."
"There are also other war zone commanders, overseas Chinese, and domestic people at all levels who have sent congratulatory messages to our Eighth Route Army."
"Various media and newspapers reported that ordinary people took to the streets to celebrate the execution of the Japanese 9th Brigade."
"It greatly inspired the anti-war morale across the country, and the enthusiasm for the anti-Japanese war was rising..."
This is Zhao Gang, who has just returned from the brigade headquarters to hand in the battle report, bringing the latest news to Li Yunlong.
The battle at Dawangou happened a few days ago. After defeating the 9th Brigade, it was considered that the Japanese 29th Brigade and 37th Division might take the opportunity to retaliate.
Li Yunlong led his troops around the mountains for two days.
Chu Yunfei left the next day. Before leaving, Li Yunlong gave him a colonel's command knife in return to show that the two armies joined hands to kill the enemy.
The dignified top student from the fifth phase of Huangpu was actually no match for Li Yunlong, who was born with a mud-legged background. Chu Yunfei was hit hard this time.
However, Chu Yunfei is also a person who refuses to admit defeat. He knows his shame and then becomes brave. He plans to go back to Yan Laoxi and ask for good equipment...
Zhao Gang continued: "You have become famous this time and have become a national hero in the hearts of people all over the country. Even the Japanese have raised the price of your reward to 1 million oceans."
"This person is afraid of being famous but afraid of being strong." Li Yunlong said, "It's better to keep a low profile."
Commander Li Da had no interest in these false names. Only the actual benefits interested him, such as weapons and ammunition, food, and commanding front-line troops in combat.
After a pause, Li Yunlong said jokingly: "Yoshio Shinozuka, this old devil, is quite generous to me. Our old Li's head is only a little bigger than a chamber pot, but he is actually worth 1 million yuan?"
Zhao Gang also laughed: "The Japanese army said at the press conference that in the battle of Dagowan, the Japanese army suffered casualties of more than 160 people in one squadron. However, when the command sabers of Hattori Naoomi and Koshiki Toranosuke appeared in the newspaper, the Japanese suddenly Mute."
The two captured major general command sabers were taken away by the brigade commander immediately. After taking photos, one of them was taken away by the division commander as a birthday gift from Li Yunlong to the division commander.
The other major general's command saber was secretly sent to YA by someone from the headquarters.
"The Japs just beat you up." Li Yunlong said in a disdainful tone, "In the last battle of Shotai, thousands of Japs were killed, but the Japs said only a few hundred died."
In fact, in the entire Hundred Regiment War, more than 20,000 Japanese invaders were annihilated, but the Japanese army claimed that there were only 2,000.
Zhao Gang nodded and said, "In order to maintain the so-called myth that the Imperial Army is invincible, the Japanese army manipulated statistics to greatly reduce the number of Japanese casualties. This is nothing new."
"Report!" At this moment, Huang Erhu's voice sounded outside the door.
"Come in!" Li Yunlong shouted outside.
Huang Erhu walked in and gave a military salute: "Report to the leader and political commissar, Yan Shuangying is outside and informed us to go to the old place to receive the goods, and said to bring more transportation teams and manpower."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked overjoyed at the same time.
The weapons and ammunition seized in victory are one share, the weapons and ammunition consumption is reimbursed one share, and the business price can also be earned.
For Captain Li Da, this is simply three times the happiness.
Commander Li said happily: "Give me the order, the cavalry battalion, logistics transport team, first battalion and second battalion will assemble immediately."
Although there were more people in the county brigade, it was still the main force that Li Yunlong asked to transport weapons and ammunition.
It's not that Li Yunlong doesn't trust the soldiers in the county brigade. The more people there are, the more complex the situation becomes. The main force of soldiers has participated in transporting weapons and ammunition many times, and there has been no trouble so far.
Every soldier who participated in the transportation of weapons and ammunition has stated that they will never reveal a word about weapons and ammunition to the outside world.
As Li Yunlong's order was issued, it didn't take long for the cavalry battalion, logistics transportation team, and the first and second battalions to all gather.
As soon as they left the entrance of Yangcun, everyone saw a large number of aircraft appearing in the sky in the direction of receiving the goods. As the aircraft flew across the sky, dense airdrop boxes fell down with parachutes.
"Speed up!" Li Yunlong shouted with joy.
Then he and Zhao Gang got on their horses, and with the guards on horseback, they headed towards the delivery point first.
