I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 759: Please don’t really finish building all those mules and horses that pull the carts!

Shibangou battlefield.

When Yang Yuanshan woke up, he found that the sky had darkened and it would soon be dark.

Zhang Xiaohe, the guard who had been guarding beside him, saw him wake up and hurriedly brought him a bowl of hot water.

"Captain, drink some water first. Dinner will be ready soon."

Yang Yuanshan took the hot water, put it to his mouth and took a sip, and felt refreshed all over.

Then he asked:

“Any updates?
Has anyone from the Special Operations Company come back to report?"

"No one from the special operations company has returned, but the communications team said they received a telegram from Deputy Commander Zhan. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't ask them to wake you up."

Zhang Xiaohe answered nervously.

He didn't know if he had made a mistake by acting on his own. If he delayed the captain's important matter, he would be in trouble.

Fortunately, Yang Yuanshan knew that if it was really an urgent military situation, Wu Jun would definitely not delay.

Since he didn't wake me up now, it must have been just a normal situation report.

So instead of blaming him, he gave the order:
"Go call Wu Jun over. I want to ask about the situation."

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiaohe was relieved when he saw that he didn't seem angry.

He quickly ran to call for help.

After a while, the telecommunications squad leader Wu Jun hurried over following Zhang Xiaohe.

"Captain, are you looking for me?"

"Xiao He said you received a telegram?"

Yang Yuanshan handed the bowl of water in his hand to Zhang Xiaohe, stood up and asked.

"Yes! Three telegrams in total.

One was a telegram from Deputy Headman Zhan, informing us that they were on their way to us and were expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon.

In addition, Political Commissar Zhou called back and said that the field hospital was now in Zhengjiagou and asked us to send the wounded there for treatment.

There is also a telegram from Chief of Staff Han, which was just received, saying that the siege of Shuiquan is progressing smoothly and it is expected to be completely captured in two days at most. "

"Okay!"

Yang Yuanshan was naturally very happy after hearing three good news in succession.

Then he asked Zhang Xiaohe to take out the map, spread it out on the ground, and carefully examined it in the dim light.

After looking at the map, he ordered:
"Send a telegram to Zhan Haishan, telling them not to come to Shibangou, but to go directly to Taipingzhuang to rest and wait for my next order!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jun immediately took the order:
"Yes!"

After sending Wu Jun away, Yang Yuanshan was about to go to Wang Quanfa to inquire about the situation of the troops when he saw him and Wang Ye rushing over.

"Captain!"

they both shouted in unison.

Yang Yuanshan saw that they looked exhausted and knew that they were probably so busy that they had no time to rest.

He quickly greeted:
"Let's all sit down and talk."

Then arranged Zhang Xiaohe:
"Xiaohe, go get us some food."

"Yes!"

"How is it, have the casualties of the troops been counted?"

Wang Ye and Wang Quanfa didn't bother to be polite with him. They sat down on the ground and Wang Quanfa answered:
“It’s been accounted for.

In these two battles today, our regiment lost a total of 344 people and 527 were seriously injured.

Now the wounded have been arranged to rest temporarily in two villages seven or eight miles to the north."

"Good boy! The fighting power of the Japanese devils is really extraordinary!

We fought these two battles so quickly and efficiently, yet we still suffered so many casualties!"

Yang Yuanshan sighed.

Then he asked:

“Is the village you found big enough?

Can we let the soldiers go over there and rest?"

Although the weather today is not that cold, sleeping outdoors is certainly not as comfortable as living in a house.

Wang Ye shook his head:

"These two villages are not big, and it's hard to cram in all our wounded."

Yang Yuanshan sighed and said helplessly:
"Well, it looks like we'll have to sleep here tonight.

Later, tell the soldiers to light a few more bonfires.

Don’t catch a cold or get sick.”

"Yes!"

They both agreed in unison.

Then Yang Yuanshan explained:

"Our field hospital is now in Zhengjiagou, fifty miles to the north. Tomorrow morning, you can find some fellow villagers to help and send the wounded there.

In addition, a list of the sacrificed soldiers must also be prepared and brought back to Lao Zhou.

We must not let the sacrifice of our soldiers go unnoticed." "Understood!"

"Has the public trial of the Japanese prisoners of war concluded?"

"It's over."

"Not bad, it's very fast."

Yang Yuanshan patted Wang Quanfa on the shoulder.

It is not easy to hold a public trial of 3,000 people within a few hours.

"Political Commissar Zhong of the New 1st Regiment also came with political workers to help.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be that fast if we just rely on ourselves.”

"I see.

How many bad elements did you guys shoot in the end? "

Yang Yuanshan asked curiously.

"Of those who were interrogated earlier and found to have blood on their hands, only 15 were found not guilty of capital punishment, while the other dozens of people were all found guilty of unforgivable crimes.

In addition, among the 3000 people who had escaped our preliminary interrogation and joined our group, more than 50 of them were found to have done a lot of bad things and were dealt with together. "

Wang Quanfa replied.

"This ratio is not bad, better than I expected."

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Subsequent arrangements:

“In these two battles today, we lost more than 800 people.

Then we should select a group of the most elite troops from the more than 2000 captured Japanese devils and add them to each battalion to fill up the establishment.

Ensure the combat effectiveness of your several main battalions.

In addition to forming a new fifth infantry battalion, the remaining personnel will be assigned to the kitchens of each battalion and company to carry the big pots.

If our troops are reduced in number later, we can also recruit from these people."

In this way, Yang Yuanshan now has two main infantry battalions, two artillery battalions, and a guard battalion at his disposal, and they are all fully equipped and staffed.

There are at least 7000 people!
He felt that as long as the soldiers had time to rest for a day or two, then with their violent firepower, it would not be a problem to wipe out an entire brigade of the Japanese!
"Yes!"

It is only natural to replenish personnel and expand the team after the war. Wang Quanfa and Yang Yuanshan had no objection to Yang Yuanshan's arrangement and quickly agreed.

Then asked:
"Captain, who will be the commander of the fifth battalion?"

Yang Yuanshan was also scratching his head over this question.

The army is expanding too fast and there is still a severe shortage of cadres!

He carefully considered the battalion and company commanders around him and finally decided:

"Let Zhao Tietou come."

As a close friend who had depended on him since he first traveled through time, Yang Yuanshan decided to promote him.

However, considering the other party's ability, he immediately added:
"Remove Fu Xiaojun, the captain of the Second Company of the Guard Battalion, and make him his deputy battalion commander!
As for the vacancies left by the two of them, you can make your own arrangements."

The personnel arrangements in the regiment should have been decided by the regimental leaders. The two battalion commanders, Wang Quanfa and Wang Ye, had no right to question it.

After hearing his arrangements, everyone nodded.

……

At this time, Zhang Xiaohe came over with a soldier, carrying a large bowl of horse meat and wild vegetable soup and a large bowl of millet rice:

"Captain, I brought dinner."

Yang Yuanshan's stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time, so he quickly took over and asked:
"The food today is pretty good, there's even meat, where did it come from?

Don’t just give me a few meals to make all the mules and horses we captured!”

Mules and horses can be used as food reserves in times of crisis. Now that they have seized hundreds of carts of millet, they are not short of food.

So even though Yang Yuanshan was greedy, he didn't want to raise all those mules and horses in a short time.

So I typed this sentence.

Zhang Xiaohe chuckled:
"Captain, the kitchen staff doesn't have the guts to kill our mules and horses."

"Really? Where did this meat come from?"

Yang Yuanshan was very curious.

"Aren't these the horses that those Japanese officers rode on earlier, and were killed by us?
The kitchen staff stewed these horses."

Zhang Xiaohe explained.

"All right!"

Yang Yuanshan vaguely remembered that this happened, and he stopped caring about it.

While asking Wang Quanfa and Wang Ye to help themselves to the rice, he served himself a large bowl of millet rice and started showing off.

There is no eating manners at all!

Only after he had finished two bowls of rice did he slow down his eating pace.

While eating, he made some arrangements with Wang Quanfa and others about other matters concerning the army.

……

After dinner, Yang Yuanshan let them do as they pleased, and he took Zhang Xiaohe to the position of the New 1st Regiment.
