I am an artillery soldier

Chapter 453 Casualty Ratio 61
Seeing that all the machinery and equipment in the Huangyadong Arsenal had been transferred by the Eighth Route Army, the devils became angry from embarrassment. They hadn't gained enough from the attack for so long.

If they really go back with such a record, the devil troops responsible for attacking Huangyadong will inevitably be criticized by their respective army commanders and the first army commander Yoshio Iwamatsu.Whether it was to achieve greater victories or to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army, the devils had no intention of giving up the fight.

For these devils, they need to set more records that they can show off, so as to ensure that they will not be blamed when they go back.

What's more, in the eyes of the devils, the retreat of the secret service group that has been in charge of defending Huangya Cave means that the secret service group no longer has a strong enough combat power. This is a good opportunity for the devil commander. The opportunity for the Eighth Route Army in the hole area to be completely wiped out.

For the devils attacking Huangya Cave, the soldiers of the secret service group killed the continuous devil soldiers, and the casualties of the devils made the devils unwilling to end this battle easily, even if these devils knew that they wanted to successfully kill the secret service group Fighters are very difficult, but they still want to try.

At 2008.5 o'clock in the morning, the devils took the initiative to launch an attack on Zuohui Nanshan Highland [-]. After the devils' observation, this is the location of the command post of the secret service regiment.In order to be able to severely injure the secret service group and make it worthwhile for them to attack Huangyadong this time, the devils fought desperately again.

The 2nd company and 1st platoon of the spy regiment standing on the high ground repeatedly fought and killed the devils, and they were particularly tenacious in the battle. Under the desperate fighting of the soldiers, the devils advanced extremely slowly.During this period, three soldiers including Wen Desheng and Bian Qingzhang from the 2nd company and 1st platoon led the attacking devils to a dead end. They were located on the southeast cliff of Zuohui Nanshan, ready to wipe out the devils.

However, due to being outnumbered, the 2nd Company was unable to mobilize troops to support them. As a result, the three of Wen Desheng were forced to the cliff by the enemy, and finally fought with the devils again. A heroic sacrifice.

In order to be able to severely injure the spy group, the devils attacked Zuohuishan with all their strength. In order to deal with the devil's attack, head Ou ordered the battalion, which had basically not participated in the battle during the seven days, to enter the fortifications to fight.

During the battle against the devils these days, the First Battalion of the Secret Service Regiment was served by Captain Ou as the reserve team.After receiving the order from Head Ou to order the first battalion to attack, the soldiers of the first battalion rushed forward screaming, like hungry wolves who have been hungry for an unknown number of days.

As soon as the first battalion came into contact with the devils, they successfully suppressed the attacking devils with powerful firepower, and the performance of the machine gun company of the first battalion was quite outstanding.During this period, Li Changbiao, the squad leader of the first battalion machine gun company, fired more than 480 rounds of machine gun bullets in one breath, directly injuring the attacking devils, and many devils were directly smashed by the machine gun.

There is even a machine gunner, Shuai Erbao, who is not surprised when dealing with the devil's three mortars. After being noticed by the devil's mortar, he uses the favorable terrain to flexibly change the shooting direction, constantly swearing at the attacking devil, and will The mobile combat was brought to the extreme, and more than 60 devils were killed.

At the same time, Head Ou also gave full play to the flexibility of the soldiers, mobilizing the soldiers from the third company, the fifth company, and the eighth company to counterattack the attack on Zuohuishan.During the battle with the devils, the soldiers used the bear-hunting triangular style of play to beat the devils around so that they could not care about each other during the attack and retreat.

Liu Gen stayed in the command post of the secret service regiment, and he could clearly understand that every time Commander Ou issued a combat order, he was a little helpless if he didn't go to the front to kill the enemy.But staying in the command post, Liu Gen found that he could learn a lot from Captain Ou.

In the hands of Commander Ou, commanding operations seems to have become an art. Liu Gen never thought that commanding operations could be so flexible.The information constantly fed back from the front line allowed Liu Gen to easily grasp the situation on the front line, which undoubtedly provided enough information as a basis for commanding operations.

In the battle with the devils, the casualties of the spy team were not too many, which has something to do with the hard training of the secret service team on weekdays, and it has an inseparable relationship with Captain Ou.Liu Gen felt that if he was allowed to command the battle.Then he will definitely not be able to do it like Captain Ou.

After realizing that he could learn a lot from Tuan Ou, Liu Gen became much calmer. He followed Tuan Ou silently, listening to the combat orders issued by Tuan Ou.

The battle lasted until the afternoon, and the soldiers on both sides became extremely tired, but still no one chose to give up. Everyone knew what it meant to give up the battle at this time. The devils put so many troops into the attack on Zuohuishan. If you give up, the loss will undoubtedly be huge.

The secret service group cannot give up defense at all. Whether it is to kill the devils or to prevent the special service group from being severely injured, this requires the full defense of the special service group soldiers.

During the period when the devils attacked Zuohuishan, the peripheral troops of the Eighth Route Army had successfully recovered more than ten villages such as Dongyadi and Zhaogu Village around Huangyadong. In the ambush area.

The secret service team delayed the devils for so much time in the Huangyadong defense battle. All of this was planned by the bosses of the headquarters, and now all the troops are in place.Then it must be able to severely damage the mopping up troops of the devils.

In the middle of the night on the 18th, Head Ou, who was staying in the command post of the Special Task Force, received a telegram from the Deputy Chief of Staff, saying that the enemy had probably discovered the Eighth Route Army troops outside Huangyadong and might escape overnight.

Looking at the telegram sent by the deputy chief of staff, Captain Ou's face became a little more happy, and the reinforcements finally arrived.Now there are Eighth Route Army troops on the outskirts of Huangya Cave. Leader Ou naturally understands what this means. The secret service team must seize this opportunity and try to keep all these devils who dare to attack Huangya Cave!

After passing the telegram to Liu Gen beside him, Head Ou summoned the three battalion commanders of the secret service regiment. He needed to mobilize the soldiers and launch a full-scale counterattack against the devils immediately.If possible, firmly hold back the devils' footsteps and try to keep them all.

When Liu Gen saw the contents of the telegram, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and it was time to fight back.Just thinking that the secret service regiment didn't have any shells, and that he, the artilleryman, was useless, Liu Gen was very helpless. When would he be able to use up the endless shells?
If he had enough shells in his hands, then Liu Gen was sure that with his artillery skills, he would be able to kill more devils and destroy more mortars and firepower points of devils.It's a pity that if Liu Gen wants to have enough shells, he still needs to further expand the arsenal.

Less than 10 minutes after the three battalion commanders of the secret service group left, the soldiers of the secret service group took the initiative to launch a full-scale counterattack against the devils. The soldiers rushed out of the position screaming and rushed towards the devils.

And the devils, just as the deputy chief of staff expected, they learned about the Eighth Route Army troops on the outskirts of Huangya Cave, and even more so, how many troops there were in the outskirts of the Eighth Route Army.At this time, facing the full-scale counterattack of the soldiers of the secret service group, the devils did not have the slightest idea of ​​fighting. They kept breaking up and fled frantically, wishing that they had grown four legs.

During the all-round counterattack by the soldiers of the Secret Service Regiment, almost no effective resistance from the devils was encountered. The commander of the devils is also well aware of the situation at this time, knowing that staying longer in the Huangyadong area means greater danger. .

In order to avoid being left in the Huangyadong area by the Eighth Route Army troops, the devil commander ordered the devil troops to retreat at all costs. He didn't want to be left here.After returning, as the combat commander, he will definitely be punished to some extent, but even if he is punished again, it is impossible to die.

Being successfully left in the Huangyadong area by the Eighth Route Army troops is in danger of death. The devil commander does not want to die here, let alone let so many devil soldiers die here.

The whole night's pursuit did not cause too many casualties to the devils. It was because the devils kept fleeing crazily and did not fight the soldiers of the secret service group at all.In the darkness, the marksmanship of the soldiers was also affected to a certain extent, which resulted in the casualties of the devils not being too large when they fled.

At dawn on the 19th, the soldiers of the Secret Service Regiment successfully took back almost all the positions of the Huangyadong Arsenal, while the devils were still fleeing frantically.

When the devil's troops escaped from the outskirts of Huangyadong, they were attacked by the surrounding Eighth Route Army troops. With the fighting power of the devils, they stayed and fought against the Eighth Route Army, and they still had the power to fight.But at this moment, the devils were so frightened that they didn't dare to stay any longer. They could only escape after leaving hundreds of dead devils behind.

On this day, the wind was bleak and the sky was covered with heavy snow. The Japanese army fled south to 129 acres of land. When Caozhuang was on the front line, they entered the ambush circle of the 129th Division.Under the full attack of the four main regiments of the [-]th Division of the Eighth Route Army, more than [-] people were killed or injured.

Faced with the ambush of the 129th Division, the devils desperately escaped from the ambush circle. In order to complete the breakout as quickly as possible, the devils blew up or directly dropped the heavy machine guns and infantry artillery they were carrying. In order to be able to escape, the devils paid enough Big price.

The four main regiments of the 129th Division were naturally unwilling to let these devil troops leave easily. They kept chasing the devils, and finally gave up after the devil troops fled into the devil's stronghold in Lucheng Weizi Town.

Although the strength of the four main regiments is enough to launch an attack on the stronghold of Weizi Town, considering that the reinforcements of the devils are on their way, the four main regiments gave up the idea of ​​​​attacking, and quickly seized the captured troops from the devils. evacuate.

When the results of the ambush came from the headquarters, both Liu Gen and Captain Ou were extremely excited. This was the price the devils had to pay for attacking the Huangyadong Arsenal.

On the 20th, Liu Gen and Director Xu brought more than [-] arsenal workers who had been transferred to Mount Islam back to the Huangyadong arsenal safely.

The battle to defend Huangyadong was won, but it was quite difficult to resume production after the war. Due to the destruction of the Huangyadong arsenal by the devils, what the workers needed to do was to restore the arsenal to its original state.At the same time, all the previously transferred and buried machinery and equipment will be retrieved, so as to resume production in the shortest possible time.

During this period, all units of the Eighth Route Army fought against the devils, and a lot of ammunition was consumed.The earlier resumption of production at the Huangyadong Armory can also supplement the ammunition of each unit to a certain extent, reducing the pressure on the soldiers during combat.

At such a juncture, Liu Gen brought Kong Jue and others into the rebuilding of the Artillery Department. In the battle with the devils, the rockets showed their power again, which also proved the powerful suppression of the rockets in the face of the artillery. .

Due to the objective conditions of the arsenal, large-scale production of rocket launchers is not allowed. The next job of the artillery department is to produce 60mm mortars and grenades.For the troops of the Eighth Route Army, there can never be too many grenades and mortars.

While Liu Gen was busy rebuilding the Artillery Department, Captain Ou was not idle either. He was counting the casualties of the Secret Service Regiment and the number of enemies killed.After the statistics were completed, Captain Ou was a little surprised. He didn't care about these things during the battle. He didn't realize that it was a big victory until the statistics after the battle!
According to the statistics of Head Ou Tuan, in the defense battle of Huangyadong, the special task force with 1300 people resisted the attack of more than 5000 devils, wiped out more than 166 enemies, and our side suffered 43 casualties (including 6 sacrificed), and the casualty ratio between the enemy and us was 1: [-]. Created a model battle example of winning more with less, setting an unprecedented record in the comparison of casualties between the enemy and ourselves in the Sino-Japanese war.

When the Chongqing Kuomintang government learned of such news, it specially issued a commendation order to the second theater. Such a big victory deserves commendation.It's just that all the Eighth Route Army can get is a commendation order, and as for the support of materials, there is nothing at all.

In Taiyuan, Shanxi, Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the Devil's First Army, after learning the specific casualty statistics, directly asked the commander of this battle to cut his belly to report to the Emperor!Such a fight.It was simply a disgrace to the First Army, and he, Yoshio Iwamatsu, was also accused by the North China Front Army Headquarters and the Army Base Camp.

After confirming the casualties of the Eighth Route Army's Huangyadong defense battle, Yan Xishan of the Second Theater Command moved his Jinsui Army to go to the Eighth Route Army's base for exchanges.Yan Xishan wanted to confirm the development of the Eighth Route Army's base areas, and also wanted to find out what the current strength of the Eighth Route Army was.

For this reason, Yan Xishan quickly began to consider the possibility of this matter, but it would take a certain amount of time to visit the bases of the Eighth Route Army, and it would also take a certain amount of time for the high-level communication between the two sides.

The reconstruction of the Huangyadong Arsenal is not a simple task. Considering the complexity of the reconstruction work, Director Xu divided the employees of the Arsenal into two parts. One part insists on production under the crude conditions, while the other part is in charge of the Arsenal. reconstruction work.

The devil's attack on the Huangyadong Armory this time meant that the devil knew exactly where the Huangyadong Arsenal was. The Yadong Armory needs to find a new location.

Victory in this battle does not mean that the next battle can be won. It is always good to plan ahead, not to mention that there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

For this reason, Liu Gen left Huangyadong and went to the headquarters, ready to obey the decisions of the bosses.
