Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Miserable victories and stunning captures

The Vigilante has won...>

Facing the offensive of tens of thousands of Japanese troops from the No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army, the garrison division with a strength of less than [-] actually won the final victory. [Refreshing Reading] In the eyes of everyone, this is almost impossible, just like this happened on the battlefield outside Gaomi City.

"Reporter's seat, the cavalry battalion was ordered to report...>

Back in Qingdao, the total strength of the Japanese army was less than 500, and many of them fled back empty-handed.Such a result directly means that in less than a few days, the little devils who died in the hands of the security division through various means, including various supplies, artillery, and cavalry, directly exceeded the 500-man mark. [

500 people, if placed in normal times, the entire force of a standard Japanese infantry brigade would be wiped out in this way...>

With a garrison division of less than 6000 people, annihilating an infantry brigade of the Japanese army would be an unprecedented victory even in the course of World War II in later generations, let alone now.However, as the leader of this victory, Li Guosheng, the commander of the security division, did not show any excited expression on his face when facing the excited Zhao Xinting.

No matter which life he was in, Li Guosheng knew one fact.There's no such thing as a pie in the sky... >

Eight thousand and five hundred elite Japanese troops were wiped out, and the Japanese attacking troops retreated in embarrassment and were defeated all the way.No matter how you look at it, it is, as everyone said, an unprecedented victory.However, Li Guosheng knew that such a big victory.It is based on the heavy casualties of the security division.

It is very likely that after this victory, the entire security division will be directly disabled and lose the ability to continue fighting.This.It is definitely not what Li Guosheng wants, and it is also what he is worried about.It must be clear that the army is the only capital for oneself to gain a foothold in this society.If you don't even have an army, even if you have won this victory, can you still win the next victory?

After hearing that battalion commander Zhao Xinting in front of him only reported the results of the battle, he did not report the loss of the cavalry battalion.Li Guosheng frowned immediately, and said, "What about the loss of the cavalry battalion? In addition, I have established a rule in the security division. No matter when in the future, when reporting the battle damage and results to the superior, you must first Report the battle damage...>

"Yes, teacher seat..." Zhao Xinting replied with a troubled face.

but.At this moment, the smile on Zhao Xinting's face was shrouded in a trace of solemnity.Obviously, Master Li Guosheng's reminder directly talked about Zhao Xinting's pain.

After quickly sorting out the thoughts in your mind.Zhao Xinting said with a long sigh.

"Reporter, the cavalry battalion had a total of 346 cavalry before the war...>

"That is to say. The cavalry battalion is only half of its strength...>

"Yes, Master...>

"Master, although the strength of the cavalry battalion is only half. However, I can guarantee that the combat effectiveness of the current cavalry battalion is definitely not lower than the original battalion... >

Regarding Zhao Xinting's guarantee, Li Guosheng nodded noncommittally.Then, he said meaningfully: "Old Zhao, as the commander of the security division, your appetite should not be so small...>

"If nothing else, after this decisive battle, our four counties in eastern Shandong and the security division will usher in a period of peaceful development. At that time, it will be the best opportunity for my security division to grow and develop. And you, Zhao Xinting, will also give I think of a way to use the captured horses to expand the cavalry battalion into a regiment and form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time before my garrison division has actually developed an armored force. How about it? Is there any problem?"

"Please rest assured, Master, to ensure that the task is completed... >

The first regiment of the guard division and the cavalry battalion, with a large amount of light and heavy equipment and luggage seized, took a full day to cross the battlefield that had been stained red by the blood of both the enemy and us, and returned to Gaomi County.

At the same time, the Second Regiment of the Security Division, the Third Regiment of the Security Division, and the newly established Secret Service Battalion, which suffered heavy casualties, also returned to Gaomi City one after another.

In Gaomi City, in the small meeting room of the garrison division headquarters, none of the first-level battalion officers who came to the meeting showed any smiles because of the defeat of the No. 11 Brigade of the Japanese Army.Because, in the battle of the past few days, the entire garrison division, except for a small number of troops.Most of the troops, especially the two or three regiments of the guards, are almost facing the end of annihilation...>

"Okay, brothers, now that everyone is here, let's report the losses of our own troops first. Let everyone know in their hearts the predicament my security division is currently in... >

"Old Wang, just start with your regiment...>

"Yes, Master...>

"Because during the entire decisive battle, the first regiment only participated in the final attack on the Japanese artillery positions and logistics positions. Therefore, the loss of the troops was not very large. In this decisive battle, a total of 186 officers and soldiers were killed in the first regiment. 46 people were seriously injured... "

"Master, in this decisive battle, the second regiment of our security division suffered heavy casualties and almost lost its combat effectiveness. According to statistics, a total of 1067 officers and soldiers died directly during the battle, including two battalion commanders. Three deputy battalion commanders , five company commanders...>

"As for the seriously injured. There are a total of 369 people. So far, all of these seriously wounded have been transferred to the field hospital of the division headquarters. However, according to the estimation of Director Lan of the hospital, among the more than 300 wounded, there will be more than [-] Famous brothers, will sacrifice for various reasons...>

"Except for those who died and were seriously injured, the entire second regiment of the security division, except for a dozen staff officers and communications personnel who did not go to the battlefield at the regiment headquarters, almost everyone was injured. More importantly, these lightly wounded Add it all up. The second regiment of my security division, even if it is full of troops, there are only three infantry companies... >

"In terms of weapons, all the heavy machine guns were destroyed by the Japanese artillery on the battlefield, and there were 19 light machine guns left. Rifles and submachine guns also lost a full [-]%. In terms of troop ammunition, in a day of high-intensity blocking battle Among them, the remaining ammunition reserves of the regiment headquarters are less than [-]% of what they were before the war. According to today's fighting intensity, they can only last for two hours at most."

After Zhang Yusheng's voice fell, the entire conference room was not only Zhang Yusheng himself.Everyone including Li Guosheng.They were all frightened by the heavy casualties of the second regiment.

It can be said that after this battle, the second regiment of the garrison division was almost crippled under repeated attacks by the Japanese army.

Under the gaze of everyone in the conference room, Zhang Yusheng, who was not in a good mood, sat down sullenly under Li Guosheng's gesture.Like himself, Zhou Xingguo, the head of the third regiment who also suffered heavy losses, followed closely behind, and stood up with a solemn face.

"Master, let me report the losses of the third regiment..."

"According to statistics, 1103 people were killed in the third regiment, 328 were seriously injured, and the remaining personnel were all slightly injured. As for the others, they are similar to Lao Zhang's second regiment. A total of 327 officers and soldiers have not found their bodies...>

"In terms of equipment, there is no loss of mortars, there are two heavy machine guns left, 12 light machine guns left, rifles, and submachine guns have lost more than [-]%. In terms of ammunition, they are almost exhausted...>

"A total of 105 officers and soldiers were killed in the guard battalion, and 32 were seriously injured...Because they did not participate in frontal combat, there was no loss in weapons...>

"A total of 174 people were killed in the secret service battalion, and 25 people were seriously injured...>

"As far as the cavalry battalion...>

During the half-hour-long introduction, the atmosphere in the conference room became more and more solemn.

Bloody casualties, a large number of seriously wounded waiting for treatment.Especially before I entered the city, I saw at the gate of the city that the corpses of thousands of officers and soldiers that were placed outside the city and were about to be buried on the spot reappeared in front of my eyes again.Even Li Guosheng, who came from later generations, was almost out of breath by this dignified atmosphere.

After a short period of contemplation, Li Guosheng looked directly at Li Guanghua, the deputy division commander who was recording quickly beside him, and said, "Old Li, have you recorded everything, let the brothers know...>

"It's over...>

"Master, brothers, according to statistics, in this battle with the No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army, a total of 2984 officers and soldiers of our garrison division were killed, 916 were seriously injured, and 218 were slightly injured but lost combat effectiveness...>

"In terms of equipment, the artillery regiment has no losses, and consumes [-]% of all shell reserves...>

Everyone here, facing the huge number, took a deep breath, and at the same time directly set their eyes on Li Guosheng, waiting for Li Guosheng's latest order.

Division commander Li Guosheng, even though he had already made preparations for heavy casualties.I couldn't help being taken aback, and after quickly calming down my increasingly serious mood, I said, "Brothers. As the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred...>

"According to my understanding, before the decisive battle, the total strength of our security division was only about 2000 people. Now, among the more than [-] people, there are only [-] soldiers left...>

"According to the current situation of my security division, not to mention the Japanese army, even other domestic warlord troops come to attack, we may not be able to stop it...>

"Of course, if we want to restore our strength, both equipment and personnel are what we are in urgent need of. In terms of personnel, we can solve the problem by recruiting troops. After all, we won the final victory in this battle. Once the news is spread Yes, I believe. The entire four counties in eastern Shandong will definitely have an unprecedented level of recognition for my security division. As for the young and middle-aged people who come to join the army, there will definitely be an endless stream... >

"In terms of equipment, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the supplement of the superior...>

"Now that I've come to this point, Lao Li, you can report to everyone the gains of my security division in this decisive battle, and it will make everyone happy. After all, our security division is the final winner, even if the price we paid is very huge... >

"Yes, Master...>

"Brothers, although our losses in this decisive battle are very heavy, the results are also very huge...>

"In this way, let me first report to you the data captured by a regiment in the Japanese army's logistics positions and artillery positions: 120 12mm caliber heavy howitzers, 75 12mm caliber field guns, and a total of 75 12mm caliber mountain guns, that is, two The Mountain Artillery Squadron, in addition to the 70 12mm infantry artillery under the jurisdiction of the various infantry brigades of the Japanese army...>

"On the Japanese army's logistics position, there are 6 field artillery pieces, 6 mountain artillery pieces, 6 infantry artillery pieces, 81 12mm mortars, 24 grenadiers, 12 heavy machine guns, 36 light machine guns, and rifles that have not yet been assembled. 600 pieces...>

"In terms of ammunition, plus the seizures on the artillery positions. There are 2105 rounds of heavy artillery shells left, 3052 rounds of field artillery shells, and 4652 rounds of infantry artillery shells. As for mortar shells, I can't believe it." , A full reserve of more than 500 rounds... In terms of bullets, there are [-] million rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, and a total of [-] rounds of light machine gun and rifle ammunition...>

"How come there are so many?" Facing one after another numbers that were enough to shock the hearts of everyone present, the several battalion leaders who reacted almost asked in unison.

Li Guosheng was also very shocked by the large number of seizures in this decisive battle.However, thinking of the undying ambition of the Japanese army to invade China, Li Guosheng immediately understood what was going on.

Although there is no specific evidence, Li Guosheng can imagine that there is only one reason why the No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army carried so much equipment and luggage. The Northern Expeditionary Army directly occupied or invaded an occupied area belonging to Japan in the Shandong area...>

However, what the Japanese did not expect was that not only did they not achieve their goal, but they also lost tens of thousands of troops, and they used so much equipment and supplies to cheapen their opponent, the Ludong Guard Division.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Li Guosheng said: "Brothers, don't be too surprised. Since the Sino-Japanese War, Japan's selflessness has never ceased. The reason for bringing so much equipment and luggage is that since It will not be given to our security division. There is only one reason, to destroy our security division, invade Shandong, occupy Shandong, and turn Shandong into a colony of little devils... >

"Okay, let's discuss this issue first. Old Li, you continue... >

"Yes, Master...>

"It was just captured by the security division from the rear of the Japanese army. Next, I will report to you what my security division captured on the battlefield."

"Under the continuous pursuit of our security division, the No.11 Brigade of the Japanese Army discarded almost all their equipment and ammunition in order to withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible... After preliminary statistics, we seized a total of 6329 intact rifles, 198 light machine guns, 49 heavy machine guns, 199 grenades, 54 mortars...>
