Unlike the other officers, Shen Quan had charged to the front line, and the soldiers of the broadsword team respected him very much.
In this battle, Shen Quan's performance was even more dazzling than Battalion Commander Shi Song's. He made the broadsword team listen to his commands.
"Yes, sir!"
After shouting in unison, the machete team went to look for the next puppet army stronghold.
Under the attack of 2 battalions of Regiment 358, Linzhai Town was in complete chaos.
Some of the puppet soldiers were very clever and immediately surrendered when they saw that the situation was not good.
There was no suspense in this battle. Especially after the 2nd Battalion had taken the north and south gates, Forest Village had been reclaimed.
The corpses of the puppet soldiers were carried to the city gate by the young men who had been summoned. They were stacked and placed in a disorderly manner.
Hundreds of Japanese captives were squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads, not daring to breathe.
A company from the 5th Battalion had set up three light machine guns and were monitoring them with submachine guns.
"Battalion Commander, this is the battle statistics!”Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Bin said excitedly to Shi Song. "Defeated a regiment of the puppet army, annihilated a total of 300 people, captured more than 200 people, and the rest all ran away. Our army had 41 casualties and 19 heavy injuries. The loot was as follows: 1 heavy machine gun, over 1,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, 6 light machine guns, and over 500 rifles. The ammunition was still being counted.”
"En, not bad. However, don't forget to confiscate the property plundered by the puppet soldiers and officials!”Shi Song ordered with a smile.
Liu Bin's eyes lit up when he heard that. The opportunity to make a fortune had come! "Yes, sir," he shouted excitedly. This subordinate will do it now!"
Interrogate the puppet army officer and the puppet mayor. Time was tight, so he was not so particular.
The method was a little rough, but the effect was obvious.
Cheng Yuqing rushed over with the guard squad, panting, and caught up with the scene of the 5th Battalion raiding Linzhai Town.
He looked at the soldiers of the 5th Battalion rushing back to work and felt a deep sense of defeat.
Although they were fighting together this time, he still had the intention to steal the other party's glory.
Of course, the most important thing was that if the 2nd Battalion could take down Linzhai Town.
At this time, the 2nd Battalion would be the one plundering the ill-gotten gains of the puppet army, not the 5th Battalion.
He didn't expect that two-thirds of the 5th Battalion were new recruits, but they still fought quite well.
He walked over and punched Shi Song. "Old Shi, not bad! Your 5th Battalion can finally graduate this time!”
"Old Cheng, you're here?" Shi Song called out happily. Just in time. Hurry up and get your men to help get these things into the car and take them away! The regimental headquarters ordered us to retreat before dawn!”
"Alright! The sooner he settled it, the sooner he could go back!”
After wiping out all the traitors in Linzhai Town, the 2nd Battalion and 5th Battalion of the 358th Regiment happily set off on their way home.
The 2nd Battalion escorted the seized weapons and equipment and retreated at 12 am on September 14th.
In order to search for the assets of the puppet army and puppet officials, and at the same time pack up the supplies, the 5th Battalion retreated almost an hour later than originally planned.
She left at 2 am.
The cold night wind blew on Shi Song's face.
It was like a knife cutting!
Shi Song's mood was warm.
This battle was the 5th Battalion's first real battle.
Although there were some small flaws in the middle.
However, they still managed to wipe out thousands of Japanese soldiers at lightning speed. Not only did they seize a large number of equipment and resources, but they also killed hundreds of traitors and obtained a large number of spoils of war. They even seized more than 30 warhorses!
This battle could be said to be a complete victory.
He believed that the regiment commander would acknowledge the 5th Battalion and his own strength after seeing the resources they had seized.
The 5th Battalion would also become the main force of the 358th Regiment, and would have more opportunities to fight, and would also have more resources to allocate.
Just as Shi Song was about to ride his horse and sing a song.
An annoying voice sounded.
"Battalion Commander! We have to hurry. We are already an hour behind schedule. The march is too slow. This is very dangerous!"
This time, they had collected quite a lot of supplies, filling up 30 carriages.
As a result, the 5th Battalion's speed was slowed down.
Seeing that the sky was about to brighten, Shen Quan could not help but remind him.
They were now in a wasteland.
The 5th Battalion would be in danger!
Shi Song looked around and saw that the sun had already appeared in the sky.
At this moment, he was also a little anxious. He hurriedly shouted,"Brothers, hurry up and get to that mountain!”
As long as they reached the mountain ridge, they would be much safer with the protection of the forest and the ditch.
Shi Song wanted to rush to the mountain ridge as soon as possible.
As the saying goes, people will die if they run away from the mountains!
It looked close, but it wasn't really close when they walked.
Moreover, there were so many cars. How could they be fast on the dirt road in Shanxi?
At seven in the morning, the sun had already risen from the mountains.
At this moment, two black dots appeared in the sky. Then, the soldiers of the 5th Battalion heard a buzzing sound…
It was the sound of the propeller and the friction of the plane in the air.
To the soldiers of this era, this was the voice of the Grim Reaper!
"The Japanese planes are here! Conceal! Hide quickly!" Shi Song turned around and shouted at his soldiers.
