Although there were many people in the Beiye United Regiment, they were basically civilian and did not have much combat power. Therefore, dozens of people were quickly wiped out by the Iron Blood Army's Zhanpeng Class.
"Stop firing,"
Seeing that there were only three to five people left in woolen coats, Fang Zhanpeng quickly ordered his men to stop shooting. If they continued to shoot, they would all die. How could a dead person be more valuable than a living person?
"All the Japanese on the other side, listen up. Now that you're surrounded, I order you to put down your weapons and surrender immediately. Otherwise, I'll bomb you to death!”
Beiye felt aggrieved. He was the commander of the Japanese army, yet he was being scolded by a small soldier. How humiliating was this?
Surrender? Impossible, the word surrender didn't exist in the dictionary of the imperial army, at least not in Beiye's dictionary!
"You warriors are in the wrong. Come out, I'll fight you one-on-one.”
Fang Zhanpeng dug his ears and asked his subordinate," What did the Japanese say?”
"Class monitor, I heard it clearly. The Japanese want to fight you one-on-one!”
"One-on-one duel? To think that the Japanese could think of that!" As he spoke, Fang Zhanpeng said," Commander, you're right. The Japanese are all extremely cunning. If they can be dealt with guns, they will definitely not use a bayonet. Now, they want to fight me one-on-one? Dream on. I won't fall for it."”
"Yes, we must not go out to prevent the Japanese from playing tricks.”
Fang Zhanpeng nodded, then shouted at Beiye,""I'll give you three seconds to consider. If you don't put down your weapons and surrender, I'll throw the grenade.”
"Brothers, get ready. After I count to three, if the Japanese don't come out, we'll throw the grenade together and rush over to catch them.”
After seeing his subordinate nod to indicate that there was no problem, Fang Zhanpeng began to count down.“3.. 2... 1.. Throw!"
Dozens of grenades were thrown over, and with a boom, flames shot up into the sky. With the smoke, Fang Zhanpeng quickly rushed to Beiye's hiding place.
There was no resistance throughout the entire process. Fang Zhanpeng thought that everyone had been blown up, but when he checked, he found that Beiye and a senior captain had only been knocked unconscious and not dead!
"Damn it, I almost killed them. Fortunately, I found them in time and managed to get two alive.”Fang Zhanpeng heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart was filled with joy.
"Squad leader, what kind of official is this old devil? A colonel?”
"Ignorant!" Fang Zhanpeng pursed his lips and said," I heard from the chief of staff that the Japanese have two bars and three stars. That's the rank of a colonel. It's much more valuable than a colonel in the national army."”
"Um, the Japanese colonel, then wouldn't our class have made a great contribution?”
Fang Zhanpeng nodded happily.""We'll definitely make a great contribution. Now, hurry up and get her away in case anything happens.”
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers happily carried Beiye and the other senior captain back.
.............
The battle continued until the evening. The Guoqi Division suffered heavy casualties from the Iron Blood Army's defensive counterattack. The entire division had more than 10,000 people, but less than half of them managed to escape. Of course, there were still those who ran away and did not return, but not many.
There were no vehicles or supplies left, and some soldiers even abandoned their guns. Facing the miserable state of the headquarters, Kunizaki was on the verge of tears!
"Baka, I am the Iron Army's 5th division special mixed detachment, but I was beaten to such a state by the Chinese Iron Blood Army. How am I supposed to explain this to Regiment Commander Ban Yuan?”
Kunizaki was filled with regret. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have blindly accepted the mission to wipe out the Iron Blood Army. He should have handed it over to the 18th division so that he could avenge his past humiliation!
However, everything was over at this moment. It was better to think about the aftermath and explain to the higher-ups.
In the Iron Blood Army command center, Liu Zhiguo and Chen Tiejun were listening to Zhao Yonggang's report.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, after a rough estimation, our army has wiped out more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers in this battle. We have seized 3870 rifles, 238 mm light machine guns, 40 mm heavy machine guns, more than 100 grenade launchers and mortars. Other than the mountain cannons that were destroyed by our artillery, we have seized a total of 36 cannons and countless supplies."
Liu Zhiguo waved his hand. He really didn't care about these seized things. They were all goods that occupied the warehouse.
"Tell me about our casualties."
Speaking of casualties, the happiness on Zhao Yonghua's face immediately disappeared." According to the statistics, our army lost 223 people in this battle, and more than 600 people were injured. Among them, more than 30 people were seriously injured!”
Although it was a little too much to lose a reinforced company in a single battle, it was still acceptable. After all, it was impossible for a war to not have casualties. It was not that there were no casualties in a battle, but it was definitely not something that the current Iron Blood Army could create.
"It's already very good. After all, this is the first time the Iron Blood Army has fought against the Japanese. They don't have much experience, so the losses are a little bit acceptable.”
The Iron Blood Army had killed more than 200 soldiers and annihilated more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers. This loss ratio was already very heaven-defying! However, don't forget that the Iron Blood Army was fully prepared throughout the entire process and had always taken the initiative. What if it was a field encounter?
No matter what, the Iron Blood Army won, and it was a huge victory. Everything was worth it.
"Tie Jun, you must do a good job in compensating the dead soldiers. If I find anyone who dares to take the compensation for the dead soldiers, no matter who it is, they will be shot.”
When he said the word 'gun', Liu Zhiguo's face was filled with killing intent!
"Don't worry, Commander. I'll keep an eye on them the entire time.”Chen Tiejun promised.
It couldn't be helped. The current system of the Iron Blood Army was not perfect enough. There would definitely be black sheep. In the future, when the Iron Blood Army had its own bank, even if someone wanted to help, they wouldn't have the chance.
At this critical moment, stability was the key. At this time, Liu Zhiguo didn't mind seeing some blood. It didn't matter if it was to intimidate or warn the monkey. In any case, whoever crossed his bottom line would die!
"Yonggang, you have commanded this battle very well. When you return, do a battle summary with your subordinates and find out what shortcomings you have in order to prevent the next battle from happening again.”
Zhao Yonggang nodded wildly." I will, Commander. I guarantee that I will fight better in the next battle."”
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it!" Liu Zhiguo smiled." When you go back, draw up a list of meritorious personnel. Remember, I want the real ones. If you're lying, I'll skin you alive."”
"Hehe, I won't do anything fake. Commander, you won't have a chance!”
Skin him? What a joke, he and Ni 'er had never done that before. If he was skinned, how could he do it?
"Alright, you go ahead. I have something to say to the Chief of Staff.”
After Zhao Yonggang left, Liu Zhiguo said,""What is the reaction of the newly joined army in this war?”
Chen Tiejun was stunned for a moment before he quickly said,"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. After half a month of education and reorganization, they have completely integrated into the Iron Blood Army. Today, when the battle at the foot of the mountain was fierce, many officers wanted to ask you to fight. Because you weren't around, they came to me, so I think there's no problem and I can be of use.”
Alright, it was good that there was no problem. It would come in handy after some time.
