Chen Weidong was a commander who advocated actual combat. Thousands of training sessions on a daily basis could not compare to a bleeding injury when he was on the verge of death in actual combat.
Chen Weidong also agreed with the famous saying of the commander of the 115th Division," A troop that dares to fight is a strong troop."
It was precisely because of this that he had specifically asked four recruits who had joined the army for less than three months to fight the Japanese head-on. This was their first time on the battlefield.
"Ah!"
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
In the first round of fighting, a soldier of sixteen or seventeen years old was stabbed in the shoulder blade by a Japanese's bayonet. He grimaced in pain and screamed.
Similarly, the two Japanese soldiers were also injured in varying degrees, but they were not fatal. The two continued to fight back to back with their bayonet.
Chen Weidong waved his hand, and the injured soldier was carried away. Another new soldier took over the position with a bayonet.
This time, the four recruits were no longer as nervous as before, which led to the distortion of their tactical movements. Their eyes were calmly staring at the two Japanese, their hands tightly gripping the stock of their guns, ready to attack at any time!
"Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The soldiers on both sides cheered for themselves and their comrades, then raised their sharp and cold bayonet and stabbed at each other.
Slash!
This time, none of the four soldiers were injured. One of the Japanese soldiers was stabbed in the chest by two bayonet blades and died instantly. The remaining Japanese soldier was also stabbed twice and went completely crazy!
"Kill them!"
The four recruits roared and stabbed the Japanese soldier's stomach from four different directions. Even his purple intestines were pulled out.
"Good, well done!"
Chen Weidong took the lead in clapping, and the remaining row of soldiers also applauded and cheered for these recruits. After this battle, they would no longer be afraid of fighting with the Japanese in the future.
A few of the young soldiers had embarrassed smiles on their faces, but they were full of confidence in their hearts. This Japanese was not as evil as the rumors said. They were not impenetrable ghosts. They would still die after taking a stab.
At this time, the recruits were all excited. This ambush was simply too satisfying. Not only did they kill the enemy with their own hands, but they also fought with the Japanese face to face. In the future, when they met their comrades from the same hometown, they would have the capital to show off to them.
"Brothers, hurry up and clean up the battlefield. After the Japanese in the Xiaduan stronghold hear the gunshots, they will definitely send reinforcements.”
Chen Weidong ordered calmly.
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers responded loudly and then entered the intense and orderly battlefield cleaning work.
This ambush was a beautiful annihilation battle. 12 Japanese cavalrymen and 32 puppet soldiers were wiped out, while his platoon only lost 3 people and 5 people with light injuries.
But for Chen Weidong, he still felt sad for his fallen comrades. If his weapons were more advanced, his brothers would not have to fight the Japanese so close. They could directly cover them with artillery from afar, which would reduce unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifices.
However, war was often cruel. The only thing Chen Weidong could do was to reduce the casualties of his soldiers as much as possible.
"Reporting to the platoon leader, come and see what this is. We're rich!”On the other side, Liao Wenhua, who was cleaning up the battlefield and opening a box, shouted excitedly to Chen Weidong.
Chen Weidong walked over. Liao Wenhua was standing on a carriage. The box that was pried open was filled with brand new three-eight covers. The other box was filled with yellow bullets, which numbered more than ten thousand.
That was not all. In another carriage, the soldiers also found 20 boxes of 48-petal melon grenades and two grenade launchers.
"Good lord, no wonder the Japanese sent a cavalry squad to escort them. They were exchanging weapons for the Japanese in the Xiadian stronghold. Haha, I didn't expect them to be intercepted!”
Chen Weidong was very satisfied. Compared to food supplies, the seized weapons and ammunition could solve his urgent needs. With these guns and bullets, he wanted to feed the soldiers under his command to become sharpshooters.
"Platoon leader!"
At this time, Yang Laojiu also excitedly walked over with two big Japanese horses and said excitedly,"Platoon leader, we just killed two horses, so there are still ten military horses left. I've brought them all back. Our platoon can also have a cavalry squad!”
"You brat, are you thinking about being the squad leader of the cavalry squad?!" Chen Weidong asked.”
Yang Laojiu laughed and said," Platoon leader, I was a cavalry when I was in the 29th Division. My riding skills are not worse than Sun Desheng of the Regiment Cavalry Company. It is not too much to be a cavalry squad leader, right? Hehe!"”
Chen Weidong walked around the warhorses. He could tell that they were all high-quality horses, but there were not many of them. When he could get a horse for every soldier in the platoon, he would be able to make a leap from infantry to " semi-mechanized " infantry.
He ignored Yang Laojiu and continued to instruct,"Don't let go of those two dead horses. Get them all onto the carriage and bring them back to the Zhao Village to improve the lives of the commoners.”
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, the battlefield was cleaned up.
Liao Wenhua recorded the details of the materials and equipment seized in the battle in a small notebook and reported to Chen Weidong excitedly,"
"Reporting to the platoon leader, this time we seized a total of ten bags of white flour, about 300 catties, two freshly killed pigs, about 300 catties, the remaining vegetables, about 500 catties, and those two warhorses, about 1,000 catties in total.”
"In addition, we also seized 100 brand-new 38s, two boxes of bullets, about 20,000 rounds, 20 boxes of grenades, two grenade launchers, and more than 40 80% new weapons.”
Liao Wenhua smacked his lips and said with bright eyes,""Platoon leader, if we can use all these weapons and ammunition, our platoon can become a company. Platoon leader, you can even be a company commander!”
