Bright Sword: Take down the devil stronghold at the beginning

Chapter 366 Casualty Statistics
At present, only a few special force soldiers sent out to help have not returned. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang met for a small meeting.

In fact, Li Yunlong received the news when each troop returned and came out to greet them in person.

Li Yunlong had a rough number in mind as to how many troops had returned, but Zhao Gang's statistics were more complete.

"Old Zhao, how many have you come back?"

Zhao Gang said in a low tone, "The situation is not optimistic."

Li Yunlong waved his hand and asked Zhao Gang to speak directly.

"One-half of the cadres were lost, and there were more than 800 soldiers left."

Li Yunlong's heart skipped a beat. He knew that the loss was huge, and many familiar people had not seen it.

He, he knew it, but he really didn't want to know this and really hoped it wasn't true.

Li Yunlong let out a long sigh.

"Our new second regiment is hurting. When did we suffer such a big loss?" Li Yunlong clenched his fists.

Zhao Gang comforted him, "Old Li, this time is different. In addition to fighting, we also have to cover the retreat of the people, which limits the mobility of the troops. Moreover, after the ambush, our New Second Regiment was responsible for blocking and covering, and we were bitten by the Japs."

Li Yunlong nodded clearly. There was no other way. The troops blocking the rear would naturally suffer greater losses.

"By the way, have you reported the situation?"

Zhao Gang shook his head, "Not yet." Because it has already been withdrawn, there is no need to use the radio station anymore.Keep it as a key trump card.

You know, the radio station needs electricity, and the battery is a precious thing now. The battery of the Xin Er Group's radio station has a limited power, so it needs to be kept.

"I have already sent out the communication troops, and I expect there will be news soon."

That's right, there was backup at the brigade headquarters for this breakout. Each unit knew where to gather at the brigade headquarters after the breakout.

As long as the brigade headquarters is settled, a communication soldier will be sent to contact the various ministries.

"it is good."

The meeting is over.

One day later, in a village, a man walked in and said loudly.

"Brigadier, Brigadier, there is news."

"Oh, which army contacted me again."

The brigade commander looked happy as he was contacted by another unit. These were his soldiers.

"Brigadier, this is the new second regiment."

"Oh, this guy Li Yunlong. Tell me, how is the situation of the New Second Regiment?"

Speaking of casualties, the man's tone became heavy.

However, he still picked out a few words.

"The situation of the New Second Regiment is not bad, with nearly half of the casualties and complete organization. However, weapons and ammunition are still lacking."

The brigade commander came out of the joy of just learning that the troops had returned, with a trace of heaviness on his face.

No way, the lives of hundreds of soldiers were wiped out like this.

Although the numbers were nothing, the brigade commander seemed to see the sacrificed soldiers, and the blood they shed formed a small river.

The staff officer said, "Brigade commander, there are iron laws in war, and opportunities are equal for both sides. We gave the enemy a hundred-regiment battle, and the enemy turned over and gave us a big sweep. There is no such thing in the world as just It’s a matter of taking advantage and not suffering a loss. There is only one thing to lose, and each to lead the way.”

"Yes, war is a test of a nation's endurance. We and Japan are both enduring in the process of consumption. Let's see who has more endurance. We can afford it. If we fight it for another ten or twenty years, China will still be destroyed. No."

The last words of the brigade commander were a summary, and they were also a narrative of the Chairman’s Protracted War.The Japanese raids wiped out many of the Eighth Route Army. In the eyes of the little Japanese, it effectively attacked the Eighth Route Army and drove the Eighth Route Army out of sight and into the mountains.

The little devils died down, and they withdrew their troops and returned to the city in the occupied area.

Of course, it won't work if the little devils don't go back. Their military pressure is also huge.

The little devil has now shown in the war that his strength is tight.

The manpower of the New Second Regiment has returned. They have just arrived at this new base area and are still unclear about the situation nearby.

A soldier knows himself and his enemy, and can fight without danger. As an excellent commander, Li Yunlong will naturally not attack rashly when he does not know the situation nearby.

The New Second Regiment is now considered poor. Before the transfer, because it was inconvenient to carry, the infantry artillery was temporarily lent to the brigade headquarters and the brigade commander made unified arrangements.

As a result, now that the loan has not been repaid, the brigade commander directly said that he had never seen any infantry artillery and if he wanted it, he could go to the little devil to get it.

The first level of officialdom was overwhelming. Li Yunlong was about to cry but had no choice but to accept this reality.

Because of the breakout, the New Second Regiment didn't have a single heavy machine gun left, but only a dozen light machine guns remained.

We do have mortars, but unfortunately we have run out of shells.

Not to mention bullets and grenades, they are so poor. On average, a soldier does not have ten rounds of bullets. This is still the result of not leaving light machine gun ammunition.

The new second regiment cannot fight a tough battle at present, so it can only find ways to develop slowly.

The Special Operations Team had the lowest loss ratio among all the ministries in this breakout, but the Special Operations Team was the entire New Second Regiment, or the elite selected from the entire brigade.

Losing one of them makes Li Yunlong extremely heartbroken.

The special operations team immediately recruited people and trained them in actual combat.

At present, in the entire New Second Regiment, the special operations team is the only unit that can attack.

Of course, the pressure on the shoulders of the special operations team is very great.

First, we must understand the nearby terrain, and second, we must take advantage and replenish the blood of the troops.

Although it is unrealistic to expect a special force to provide equipment to the new second regiment.However, it is still okay to recuperate the blood of the troops and then take your time in small mouths.

The special operations team became busy, and Li Aiguo personally led the team in action.

As a result, the remaining special forces team was handed over to Wang Shuang, the consultant of the special forces team.

Wang Shuang once again assumed the responsibility of an instructor to train new members of the special team.

Time passed by like this bit by bit.

Some time had passed since the little devil's sweep, and red banners suddenly hung up in the village. Although every household was having a hard time, everyone still took out the good things they had saved during this day and tried their best to make a meal. A hearty meal is coming.

That's right, it's New Years Eve.

The New Second Regiment lost many brothers today, and life was tight, but the New Year atmosphere was very good.

At the headquarters of the New Second Regiment, in Zhaojiayu, except for the soldiers who were on guard duty, all the remaining soldiers gathered together.

In the courtyard, Li Yunlong stood at the front.

"Brothers, today is a good day. Our most traditional and important festival in China is the Spring Festival. Here, I, Lao Li, wish my brothers a happy New Year, haha."

The soldiers also laughed when they heard Li Yunlong's words.

After Li Yunlong smiled, he said with a serious face, "Today is a good day, but it's a pity that many soldiers of our new second regiment will not be able to see today."
