The night was silent!
The next morning, Zhao Yiqing had just arrived at the brigade headquarters when Instructor Xu Wenqing came over and said,"Captain, we've already calculated our gains and casualties.”As he spoke, Xu Wenqing handed a few pieces of paper to Zhao Yiqing.
"How is it? Are there many casualties?"
Hearing Xu Wenqing's words, Zhao Yiqing's expression immediately became solemn. He took the papers and asked.
To Zhao Yiqing, the resources seized were very important, but compared to the lives of the soldiers under his command, there was absolutely no comparison.
"Not big!"
Hearing Zhao Yiqing's question, Instructor Xu Wenqing replied,""Our entire brigade has 23 casualties and 42 injuries. 37 of them are light injuries and the remaining 5 are heavily injured.”
"But Doctor Gu told me that they have been rescued and their vital signs are stable. As long as they pass the next critical period, they will be fine.”
At this point, Xu Wenqing couldn't help but sigh,""Yiqing, we've been fighting the Japanese for three years. Whether it's the duration of this battle or the final casualties, not only our 8th (2nd) division, but also all the friendly troops in the country have never had such an outcome.”
"We killed a total of 537 Japanese, and our casualties added up to only 65. The ratio of our enemies to us is an astonishing 8:1.”
"When we fought against the Japanese, the ratio of casualties was always three to one, four to one, or even five to one. On average, three of our soldiers could replace one Japanese, but this time, it was the opposite.”
As he spoke, Xu Wenqing shook his head. His face was full of disbelief, as well as the surprise and excitement brought by this data. Finally, he added,"Captain, I still don't understand how we managed to win such a battle.”
Zhao Yiqing smiled at the instructor's question and said,"Old Xu, this question is actually very simple. First, our tactics will restrain the Japanese.”
"The 500-plus Japanese soldiers and their artillery squad didn't have the chance to use their advantage.”
"Secondly, the weapons and equipment of our troops, be it light and heavy machine guns or artillery, we are not only stronger than the Okazaki Battalion, but also much stronger.”
"The strong firepower and the terrain of Youlou Valley allowed us to maximize our advantage. It's not that the Japanese didn't counterattack, but we didn't give them a chance.”
Speaking up to this point, Zhao Yiqing looked at Xu Wenqing and said,""This is also why I want to strengthen the firepower of the troops and equip every infantry squad with light machine guns and grenade launchers.”
"Our troops are not as well-trained as the Japanese. The only thing we can do is to work hard on weapons and equipment.”
"At the same time, we will use the advantage of the terrain to expand our advantage and try our best to offset the Japanese's advantage. We will make them lose their advantage and their disadvantage will continue to increase. When we use our advantage to fight against the Japanese who are at a disadvantage, how can they resist?”
Zhao Yiqing shook his head and sighed.""The benefit of this is obvious. The battle loss ratio has reached an astonishing 8:1, but the consequence is that our ammunition consumption has increased.”
It would have been better if Zhao Yiqing did not say this. Once he said this, Xu Wenqing nodded empathetically and said,"Yeah, you don't know, but I came back to count the ammunition!”
"This time, the two bases of ammunition that you had us carry were mostly used up. There's not much left. The loot this time isn't small either, but it's not enough to make up for our consumption.”
"With the amount of ammunition we used in this battle, if we put it in the same number of brothers, they can fight at least three battles.”
Looking at the distressed Xu Wenqing, Zhao Yiqing smiled and comforted him,"When ammunition is used up, we can still obtain it by looting or purchasing it. However, if a member dies, we can't just spend money to revive them. Compared to this amount of ammunition, I value less casualties.”
At this point, Zhao Yiqing waved his hand lightly and said,""Old Xu, take the loot we obtained this time, such as Lieutenant Colonel Okazaki's commanding sword, military uniform, and a group of other Japanese officers 'commanding swords, and personally go to the Second World War area.”
"The army is in urgent need of ammunition. After we pay back these things, we can buy another batch of ammunition to make up for our consumption this time.”
"Alright!"
When Xu Wenqing heard this, his distressed expression disappeared. His eyes were filled with shrewdness as he thought about how to exchange these things for a white ocean.
After sending Xu Wenqing off, he called the artillery company commander Lu Dingguo over.
"Captain, you were looking for me?"
Lu Dingguo came to the brigade headquarters, saluted Zhao Yiqing, and then asked.
"Yeah, didn't we seize three 75mm mountain cannons from the Japanese this time? I took a look. These three mountain cannons are the latest Type 94 75mm mountain cannons of the Japanese.”
"It has a range of 8300 meters and is four kilograms lighter than the old Type 41 75mm Mountain Cannon. It can be carried by mules and horses after dismantling.”
"These three mountain cannons will be incorporated into your artillery company. At the same time, you have to be prepared. As for the development of the artillery company, my thoughts will be based on the Japanese mountain cannons or the Type 92 infantry cannons.”
"The 60mm mortars and 82mm mortars will be gradually distributed to the four main companies. I will order the four company commanders to select a group of soldiers to learn from your artillery company.”
"In the future, your artillery company will be responsible for training the artillery platoons of the four main companies.”Looking at Lu Dingguo, Zhao Yiqing expressed his thoughts.
"Captain, no problem!"
Although Lu Dingguo was a little reluctant to part with Zhao Yiqing, he thought about how the artillery company would be equipped with mountain cannons or infantry cannons in the future.
The 60mm and 82mm mortars were not that attractive to him.
As for helping to train the artillery? This was even simpler. He just needed to bring more people to train.
After sending Lu Dingguo away, Zhao Yiqing began to write and draw in the brigade headquarters. Since he had obtained the Super Learning Halo, he had to make a careful plan to maximize the benefits of the Super Learning Halo. In a month's time, the garrison brigade would undergo earth-shaking changes.
