Chapter 20
The battle was finally over.
In the face of powerful firepower, all struggles were in vain.
Lu Zhixian quickly led the team into the camp.
As soon as he walked in.
The ground was full of traces left by the explosion of shells, and the ground, corners, and towers were full of Japanese soldiers lying in pools of blood.
This scene was really exciting.
"Hello, Battalion Commander!"
"Hello, Battalion Commander!"
"..."
All the soldiers passing by saluted, and everyone's face was full of excitement.
Excited.
It was indeed extremely exciting.
You should know that whether it was the brothers from the original prisoner-of-war camp or the young and strong who had just joined, they were more or less stage fright when facing the Japanese at first.
After all, the Japanese have always shown strong and terrifying combat effectiveness!
But who would have thought that this battle would be suppressed from beginning to end, and those elite Japanese soldiers were almost powerless to fight back.
This battle was really refreshing!
"Brothers, you have worked hard!"
Lu Zhixian greeted them as he walked inside.
After a while.
They finally arrived at the core area.
"Report to the battalion commander!"
Soon a soldier came quickly, and he said excitedly: "In this battle, we killed a total of 247 Japanese soldiers, seized 198 Type 38 rifles, 36 Turtle Boxes, 10 Type 924 light machine guns, 2 Type 924 heavy machine guns, 12 grenade launchers, more than 20 boxes of melon grenades and various ammunition, plus nearly 20,000 rounds of bullets!"
"Very good!"
Lu Zhixian was also very surprised to hear this.
Compared to those weapons and equipment, the number of enemies killed is the key.
In this anti-Japanese war behind enemy lines, being able to directly annihilate the Japanese squadron in an organized manner is definitely a major victory.
"What are our casualties?"
"9 dead, 36 slightly injured."
"Take the dead brothers back to Heiyun Village, and properly treat the injured brothers."
"Yes, Captain!"
The messenger quickly received the order.
Lu Zhixian couldn't help but sigh: "Under the sudden attack and artillery cover just now, we still suffered so many casualties. The combat effectiveness of the devils should not be underestimated!"
"Battalion Captain!"
However, Wei Dayong disagreed and said: "In the past, whether it was the Central Army or the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, if they wanted to eat up this squadron, they would have to pay at least hundreds of casualties. Now our battalion's casualties are almost one-tenth of theirs, and most of them are only slightly injured. This is definitely an unprecedented major victory!"
"That's true."
Lu Zhixian thought about it and felt that it made sense.
After all, people will die in war.
How can even the most elite troops be unscathed?
Besides, what the monk said was right. Most of them were lightly injured. What else should they blame?
"Captain!"
Just then, an elite team came from a distance.
The leader was Lei Zhan.
Seeing that it was his own special operations team, Lu Zhixian couldn't help but laugh again and said, "Captain Lei, your special operations team's performance this time really impressed me!"
He had never doubted the power of special operations, but he didn't expect that after only half a month of training, the special operations team already had such combat effectiveness.
You can say.
If it weren't for the breakthrough of the special operations team.
With the strength of the devils, the casualties on our side would probably be at least doubled.
"This is all thanks to the equipment provided by the battalion commander."
Lei Zhan waved his hand and didn't take credit for it. Instead, he remembered something and smiled, "Oh, by the way! If I really want to talk about outstanding performance, Shunliu gave me a big surprise."
"Where's Shunliu?"
"Here!"
A young figure hurried over not far away.
"Shunliu!"
Lu Zhixian looked at the honest and straightforward boy in front of him, with a look of admiration in his eyes, and asked with a smile: "How many devils did you kill just now?"
"Seventeen."
"Wow!"
Hearing this number, even Lu Zhixian raised his eyebrows and said: "Great! You killed so many devils, I think you killed the most in this battle! Okay, I will definitely reward you well when I go back!"
"Thank you, Battalion Commander!"
Shunliu smiled innocently.
"Battalion Commander!"
Lei Zhan looked at the position not far away, and said with some regret: "I asked just now. Although we seized a lot of devils' weapons and equipment in this battle, we still couldn't keep those artillery pieces."
"It's okay."
Lu Zhixian waved his hand and said: "Although it is indeed a pity, it is a huge victory to kill so many devils in this battle!"
Yes.
They did not come for any weapons and equipment this time.
The most important purpose from the beginning to the end is to kill the enemy and train the troops. The former is naturally needless to say, and the latter, after the experience of this battle, the strength of the Anti-Japanese Camp must be improved to a higher level.
"Now immediatelyClean up the battlefield and prepare to return!"
"Yes, Commander!"
Everyone immediately obeyed the order.
"Oh, right!"
Lu Zhixian suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you figured out the number of this unit?"
"Sakata Regiment."
"Sakata Regiment?"
Lu Zhixian raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Wei Dayong next to him was also full of astonishment and anger and said, "Damn it, it's this regiment!"
"Monk!"
Lei Zhan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you know this regiment?"
Wei Dayong nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "This Sakata Regiment is the elite among the devils. It belongs to the fourth brigade of the devils and has extremely strong combat effectiveness. At the time of the Xinkou Battle, this regiment directly defeated the two divisions of the Central Army. I was captured by the devils after that battle."
"So strong! "
Everyone exclaimed.
You should know that the Central Army's combat power is much stronger than the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army, but even the Central Army is not even a division of its opponent.
The combat power of the Sakata Regiment can be imagined.
"Battalion Commander!"
When Lei Zhan heard this, his expression became solemn and said, "Listen to what the monk said, the combat power of the Sakata Regiment is indeed extremely strong. We have to be more cautious in the future."
"Yeah."
Lu Zhixian nodded, but then he was full of confidence: "I have heard of this Japanese regiment for a long time, and I heard that its combat power is indeed not weak. But our Anti-Japanese Battalion is not a pushover, and today's battle is proof of this. Humph, as long as we are given a little more time, let alone the Sakata Regiment, even the Third Brigade will let them die in my Central Plains! "
Huh!
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone present was also excited.
Yes.
They are not ordinary anti-Japanese forces.
With the current development trend of the Anti-Japanese Battalion, its strength will surely be improved in a short time, and it is not impossible to deal with this so-called Japanese regiment at that time.
Thinking of this, everyone became excited, especially Wei Heshang, who shouted with burning eyes: "The battalion commander is right! When I meet the Sakata regiment next time, I must chop off the old Japanese's head with my own hands and avenge my brothers who died in the Central Army before!"
"Well said!"
Everyone also echoed.
"Report to the battalion commander!"
Just then, another soldier came hurriedly from a distance, and he said excitedly: "I, we found a lot of supplies in the rear warehouse!"
