Chapter 70, Post-War Summary
The independent regiment suffered more than 300 casualties, killed more than 800 Japanese soldiers and more than 800 puppet soldiers, most of whom were killed by Japanese soldiers, and captured more than 600 puppet soldiers.
This record, let alone the city assault battle, is a great victory in normal encounters and ambush battles!
As for the seizures, they were countless. After all, the 772 regiment entered the city late, and Li Yunlong captured the three city walls and the Japs’ barracks!
"I knew you, Li Yunlong, were a good fighter!"
Passing this battle report to others for circulation, the brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and nodded:
"At the cost of attacking the heavily guarded county town of the Little Japs, at the cost of only one battalion, we can be the first to break through the city wall and completely destroy the Little Japs' base camp!
Even if this record is sent to the boss, the boss will still have to say that you, Li Yunlong, are amazing, haha!"
After hearing the brigade commander's praise and seeing the battle report of the independent regiment, everyone looked at Li Yunlong in shock.
Kong Jie was beside him, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.
Kong Jie saw how difficult it was to fight in the county. He really couldn't believe that Li Yunlong's casualties were so small!
After thinking about it, Kong Jie couldn't help but ask Li Yunlong:
"Old Li, the little devil's defense is very clear. The barbican city and the city wall combined must have more than a dozen machine guns!
With high and low light and dark firepower, there is no blind spot at all, it is simply an iron barrel array!
To put it bluntly, even a fly can hardly fly in. How did you break through the barbican and the city wall so quickly?"
Li Yunlong chuckled and was about to answer, but the brigade commander answered for him:
“This guy Li Yunlong is very naughty!
He first knocked out the Japs' searchlights, then suppressed the Wengcheng with artillery. Taking advantage of the darkness to break through to the bottom of the Wengcheng, he could easily capture the Wengcheng.
Then use artillery and Wengcheng’s machine guns to suppress the city wall, use grenade smoke as cover, and blast open the city gate with explosions!”
Kong Jie nodded suddenly, but as if he remembered something again, he continued to ask:
"The barbicans are all fortresses, can't a simple cannonball suppress the barbicans?
And the little devil has flares!
How did you cover your follow-up troops before the Wengcheng was captured and the artillery fire had not yet reached it?
You know, the light and heavy machine guns on the little devil’s wall are not decorations!”
When it came to specific details, the brigade commander couldn't tell.
Everyone turned their attention to Li Yunlong and obviously had this question.
Li Yunlong glanced around, lifted his chest, then gave Kong Jie a thumbs up and said:
"You idiot Kong Er has got the point right! These two points in time are the most difficult and the most critical!"
His face became serious, and Li Yunlong said with a mysterious and powerful look:
"The Wengcheng is indeed very strong, and our cannons are all small. The shells cannot explode inside the Wengcheng! Almost half of my casualties were caused by the Wengcheng!"
Kong Jie saw that Li Yunlong always failed to hit the point, and became a little anxious:
"Okay, stop being pretentious, how did you do it?"
Li Yunlong smiled bitterly: "I'm not a god, how could I do it? This is all Liu Sheng's credit!"
Speaking of Liu Sheng, Li Yunlong became proud again:
"You all know Liu Sheng's rate of fire and hit rate. No matter how dark it is, Liu Sheng can still hit the narrow machine gun hole in Wengcheng!
Haha, with him taking care of me, my second battalion could capture Wengcheng with only one company lost, and the same goes for the city wall!
With Liu Sheng buying me time, my artillery platoon and the machine guns of the second battalion can successfully suppress the little Japs on the city wall and cover my large army!"
Now everyone was stunned.
People looked at Li Yunlong with envy on their faces. Obviously, everyone wants such a sharpshooter!
Kong Jie, on the other hand, looked like he had eaten a fly, with a look of mistake and regret on his face. He obviously felt that he had lost a lot of money by giving Liu Sheng to Li Yunlong!
The brigade commander nodded and said with emotion:
"Oh, I want such a sharpshooter!"
Then he turned to look at Cheng Xiazi, who was bowing his head in silence, trying to reduce his sense of presence and pretending to sleep, and said:
"Cheng Xiazi, why are you pretending to be dead? Where is your battle report? Bring it!"
Blind Cheng immediately raised his head. He put the pieces of paper he was holding behind his back and showed a smile that was uglier than crying:
"Brigadier, what, there are some errors in my battle report statistics. I want to correct them and then hand them over to you alone..."
How could the brigade commander believe his lies?
Walking directly over, the brigade commander grabbed the battle report behind him:
"What's wrong? Do you think I will believe it? Bring it to you!"
In this battle, the 772 Regiment suffered more than 600 casualties, killed more than 300, and captured more than 300 puppet soldiers. The battle loss ratio with the enemy reached 1:1. It was also considered a great victory in the battle to attack the city.
But looking at the battle report of the 772nd Regiment, the brigade commander just couldn't be happy.
There is no harm without comparison. There is an independent group’s record there, and this record is just like that!
However, in order to save Cheng Xiazi's face, the brigade commander still nodded to him to show his approval:
"Well, in this battle, your 772nd regiment fought very bravely and fiercely! It showed the iron will of our Eighth Route Army. Keep up the good work and keep up the good work!"
Seeing what the brigade commander said, the others also echoed and comforted:
"Yes, the battle damage ratio with the little devil is 1:1, not bad!"
“It’s really good, very good!”
“It’s pretty good!”
The words people said were obviously good things, but to Blind Cheng's ears, they were a bit harsh. It sounded like they were mocking him!
There is no way, compared with the record of the independent group, he is really not good enough!
After making a huge blush, Blind Cheng huddled in the corner like an ostrich and died on the spot.
Ignoring Cheng Xiazi, the brigade commander began to divide the fruits.
As the independent regiment made its first contribution in this battle, the brigade commander decided to give half of the weapons and equipment as a reward, and also let the independent regiment officially garrison in Yu County, where the brigade headquarters was located, to show trust and favor.
Who knew that Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle and firmly opposed:
"Brigadier, just give me the weapons and equipment. Let Cheng Xiazi come to garrison Yu County!
The 772nd Regiment suffered more than half its casualties and was in need of repairs. Yuxian Solidarity was very suitable for him!
Our independent regiment has not suffered many casualties, so it is better to be stationed in Zhangcun. We have to guard the little Japanese from Liao County and She County on behalf of the brigade commander!"
Being garrisoned in the county seemed like a good job, but in Li Yunlong's eyes, it was more uncomfortable than killing him!
In Zhangcun, he was the boss. Although Zhao Gang was in charge, he secretly drank a few sips of wine and had a laugh and got over.
If he were under the brigade commander's big feet, would he try to take a sip of wine?
The three-day trip to the confinement room is light!
Li Yunlong doesn't want to put a tight spell on himself!
"Well, since you don't want to, forget it!"
Seeing that Li Yunlong's attitude was very determined, the brigade commander thought for a while and agreed:
"But I warn you, Li Yunlong, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because the sky is high and the emperor is far away! If you dare to leak the sky, I will use your head to make up for it!"
Li Yunlong grinned, pretending to be harmless to humans and animals, and said:
"No way, brigade commander, we, Li Yunlong, are good boys and we listen to your brigade commander the most!"
Chapter completed!
