No matter how fearless the Japanese soldiers were, their flesh and blood would only be shattered under the barrage of bullets and artillery shells.
Tarou Koizumi saw that the situation was not good. He glanced at the Japanese soldiers who were still fighting in the valley and turned around to leave. However, there were only about 20 people left with him. This time, Murata had led a large number of soldiers, with a total of more than 1,500 people.
Hong Lang stopped at the entrance of the valley after a short chase. He knew very well that his goal was to eliminate this invading enemy. He did not order the soldiers to leave their positions and give chase.
Outside the valley of Zhao Family Village, there was a large open area. If the battle line was too long, the Japanese army would concentrate all their troops to surround him. On the contrary, he would turn from victory to defeat, and the gains would not make up for the losses. Why would he use his own shortcomings to fight against the other party's strengths?
After cleaning up the battlefield, Hong Lang and his team quickly retreated to Guozhuang Village.
At this moment, Guozhuang Village was already filled with cheers. The villagers of Guozhuang Village had seen how Hong Lang and his team attacked the Japanese at their doorstep.
However, this time, they had wiped out more than 1,500 Japanese soldiers. The Northeast Army, which was completely inferior in numbers, had achieved such a great result in the face of the attack of many Japanese soldiers. This shocked all the villagers in Guozhuang Village.
At the same time, they understood that as long as Hong Lang and his soldiers were still here, they would become their guardians.
"The days of the Japanese are over.”Hong Lang stood on the roof of the anti-air tracked vehicle and shouted to the villagers who welcomed them back.
The entire Guozhuang Village immediately became a sea of joy. Every villager was beaming with joy. Many young and strong men in the village immediately helped the soldiers carry the "junk" that they had collected from the battlefield.
At the same time, the recycling workshop at the steel plant was also ready to receive the weapons. If the weapons of the Japanese army were still in good condition, they would be selected and sealed. The weapons that were destroyed in the battle were pushed into the steelworks like scrap metal, waiting to be turned into molten iron again.
After Hong Lang returned to Guozhuang Village, he simply told Li Dazheng to clean up the spoils of war and left the garrison behind. He immediately brought all the main officers back to the base and held an extremely important meeting.
In the meeting room, Hong Lang sat at the head of the table. On his left and right were his right-hand men, Lin Zheng and Lu Chong. These two people were Hong Lang's most important helpers.
The base's controller, Chen Gao, stood at the side with a document in his hand.
"We've won this battle. From now on, every faction in Rehe will know our name.”Hong Lang was still very excited. His military strength was not even ranked in Rehe. Any bandit stronghold probably had more people than him, but in terms of combat strength, there was probably no one who could defeat them.
"Commander, the quality of our soldiers, weapons, and logistics are all better than the Japanese army. I think if we continue to develop, the Japanese army stationed in Rehe will soon be no match for us.”Lin Zheng said confidently.
Lu Chong also nodded." Commander, our heavy firepower and sniper teams have caused a huge suppression effect on the enemy's support forces. The Japanese mortars and mountain cannons have basically not fired a single shot throughout the entire battle.”
" Of course." Hong Lang nodded and said," In this battle, whether it's the frontal team or the side ambush position, we'll use all our firepower to attack the Japanese army."”
Lin Zheng and Lu Chong nodded in approval.
"Chen Gao, tell us about the results of this battle.”Hong Lang turned his head and said. Chen Gao, who was standing silently at the side, opened the folder in his hand and looked down. He raised his head to look at the three of them and said,"This time, we have achieved great results in the Zhao Family Village battle. Our army killed 1,560 Japanese soldiers, including a junior officer, a senior captain officer, and more than 130 officers below the rank of captain. We seized more than 2,000 Japanese weapons, five cars, and a certain amount of ammunition.”
Everyone had smiles on their faces. They were very satisfied with this victory!
"Commander, this battle was really easy! We have killed so many Japanese soldiers. This time, the Japanese soldiers will restrain themselves and not attack us easily!”Lu Chong laughed loudly.
"It's fine as long as we don't find trouble with them. If we come again, they'll still be courting death.”Hong Lang also laughed and said," However, we can't relax even if we win. Send out a reconnaissance team to continuously monitor the direction of Pingquan to prevent the Japanese army from being desperate.”
Lin Zheng and Lu Chong nodded.
"After conversion, the commander obtained a large amount of gold coins from the base after this battle.”Chen Gao quickly operated and said," This battle eliminated one Japanese captain, one squadron leader, more than 200 officers of all levels below the captain, and 1,300 Japanese soldiers. In total, he could exchange for a total of 160,390 gold coins.”
" Oh my god, 160,000!!" Even Hong Lang himself was shocked. He had only killed more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, but he had already obtained 160,000 gold coins. With this 160,000 gold coins, his strength could have a substantial leap.
He was afraid that the next step of his plan would have to be sped up.
"Commander, the most important thing now is to develop the base. The manpower provided by the base alone is far from enough to satisfy our future development.”Chen Gao flipped through the documents in his hand and suggested. "Is it possible to train some of the surrounding people and teach them professional skills?”
Hong Lang nodded and said," We've defeated the Japanese this time. According to the Japanese, they will definitely take revenge on us. I think our base will enter a rapid development stage."”
Lin Zheng and Lu Chong nodded in agreement.
"Our country has a large population.”Hong Lang praised," It's just that due to historical and realistic reasons, they didn't receive a good education, so it's difficult for them to display their strength.”
"The commander is right. A literate person will have more opportunities and a better life than an illiterate person.”
"If the villagers can help us build the base, we will definitely be able to develop faster.”
Hong Lang saw that Lin Zheng and Lu Chong had similar thoughts as him and immediately made a decision.""Chen Gao, we want to build primary schools, middle schools, and professional colleges here in Guozhuang Village to nurture our future talents. I believe that talents are the most important thing in any era.”
