Chapter 77 A Great Victory
"Hello, I'm Zhao Gang!"
Zhao Gang extended a hand of friendship.
Wang Yousheng saluted. This Zhao Gang was really polite, and seemed approachable.
"Huh?" Zhao Gang was somewhat bewildered.
Captain Wu laughed and said, "Political Commissar Zhao, what a coincidence, he is Platoon Leader Wang from the Independent Regiment."
"Independent Regiment?"
"Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment?"
"Yes."
Zhao Gang was shocked. He never expected that the young platoon leader in front of him was Li Yunlong's subordinate!
To put it another way, it's his own subordinates...
Wang Yousheng said, "Political Commissar Zhao, I heard you're going to be the political commissar of our Independent Regiment. Don't worry, I'll escort you back later."
Now that he had met Zhao Gang, Wang Yousheng could focus on completing his tasks. He could finish all five tasks at once and then do another ten-pull.
Zhao Gang nodded. Since they were on the same team, he didn't need to be too polite.
While the three were talking, the soldiers had already finished cleaning up the battlefield.
Captain Wu quickly tallied the casualties.
"Political Commissar Zhao, Platoon Leader Wang, we also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, with 42 wounded and 36 killed in action."
"Um?"
Zhao Gang raised an eyebrow. Despite both sides being equally strong, they still suffered heavy casualties.
Most of the casualties were militiamen. Zhao Gang glanced at their wounds and saw that they had mostly died fighting the Japanese with bayonets. Wang Yousheng's platoon also suffered casualties, but only thirteen men.
In other words, trained soldiers are far more combat-ready than militiamen.
"Medic, quick, treat the wounded first. The rest of you, quickly get ready to retreat."
"The Japanese troops have been attacked, but reinforcements are arriving soon."
Zhao Gang is the oldest player on the field, and Wang Yousheng has now voluntarily handed over the command to him.
The troops quickly reorganized, and needless to say, they looted everything the Japanese soldiers had...
The Japanese soldier was left with only a pair of loincloths; his body was dumped at the village entrance, where blood was everywhere, just like a wild boar slaughterhouse.
Zhao Gang looked at Xinchao Village and couldn't help but sigh. Although the Japanese devils had been eliminated, the villagers of Xinchao Village would be homeless again. This was the price of war.
The troops withdrew and marched towards Daxia Village.
Wang Yousheng had already informed Zhao Gang that Zhang Dabiao was leading two companies to block another Japanese squadron in Daxia Village.
The journey from Xinchao Village back to Daxia Village was more than ten kilometers, and it took the troops more than an hour to arrive at their destination.
When the troops arrived at the territory of Daxia Village.
Wang Yousheng received a message from the Golden Finger.
Intermediate level detection: Aftershocks of combat detected within 2000 meters.
The soldiers of the First Battalion cleaned up the battlefield and captured three Type 96 light machine guns, earning them +1200 points.
The soldiers of the First Battalion looted all the Japanese soldiers' individual equipment, earning them +500 points.
Zhang Dabiao eliminated three sergeants, earning him +900 points and +30 merit points.
...]
As soon as Wang Yousheng entered the testing area, the battle in Daxia Village was over.
The aftermath of the battle was entirely due to the increased rewards for the soldiers of the First Battalion cleaning up the battlefield...
"Da Biao!"
As soon as the troops arrived at the village entrance, Wang Yousheng shouted at Zhang Dabiao, who was cleaning up the battlefield.
"Katsuko?!"
Zhang Dabiao turned around and his face lit up with joy.
He had just finished a battle and was directing his soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The First Battalion had made a fortune this time, annihilating an entire Japanese company and also taking down a puppet army company and a local traitorous intelligence team.
Zhang Dabiao walked over and said with a bright smile, "Shengzi, how's it going over there? We've finished the work here."
Wang Yousheng glanced around and nodded: "The fact that I was able to come here means that I've finished the work."
Zhang Dabiao glanced at the soldiers behind him and was amazed to see that each of them carried a gun and looked very spirited.
But why did Katsuko bring back so many people?
He was assigned a platoon of soldiers before.
Just then, Zhao Gang walked over.
Wang Yousheng then introduced Zhao Gang to Zhang Dabiao and explained the battle that had just taken place.
Upon hearing that it was the newly arrived political commissar, Zhang Dabiao was taken aback for a moment, then solemnly saluted Zhao Gang to show his respect.
"Battalion Commander Zhang, you've worked hard! I just saw the report; your battalion wiped out an entire Japanese company. That's a great victory!"
"hey-hey……"
Zhang Dabiao was naturally overjoyed. To be honest, he never expected to be able to wipe out the Japanese company.
Zhao Gang then said, "Battalion Commander Zhang, tell me what happened."
Zhang Dabiao said, "Actually, we were able to win this battle because Shengzi was smart. He told me to hide heavy firepower on the high ground in the village. When the Japanese came, they ran right into our heavy firepower. As soon as the battle started, I led the troops to charge. With heavy firepower, we finished the battle in less than half an hour."
"Yes, yes! The comrades are all very good!"
Zhao Gang nodded. Although the former only said a few words, he obviously did not tell him how fierce the battle was.
After all, he had just observed that there were dozens of wounded.
Zhang Dabiao continued, "After wiping out the Japanese company, we also captured half a company of puppet troops. These traitors are all cowards. As soon as they saw our heavy machine gun fire, they all raised their guns and surrendered. They were so damn skilled at it..."
Zhao Gang was initially pleased, but his face suddenly darkened: "Ahem... Battalion Commander Zhang, watch your words."
"what?"
Zhang Dabiao was stunned, thinking, "I just swore, so what? Commissar Zhao can't even tolerate it? A commissar is a commissar, a highly educated intellectual..."
Thinking of this, Zhang Dabiao thought of Regiment Commander Li again. When Regiment Commander Li swore, it was like a machine gun spewing fire, aggressive and intimidating. When Political Commissar Zhao arrived at the Independent Regiment, he guessed that he would have to engage in a battle of wits with Regiment Commander Li again!
Zhao Gang then said, "Bring the prisoners up."
Zhang Dabiao waved his hand, and a puppet army company commander walked over with his head drooping and a look of fear on his face.
"It's you again?"
Wang Yousheng looked at it and exclaimed, "Damn it, isn't this the puppet army company commander who ambushed the escort team that night?"
He couldn't remember the name, but he remembered that the old guy was very clever. As soon as he saw the Eighth Route Army coming, he raised his gun and surrendered, obediently handing over his weapons.
Yes, it was indeed Zhao Defa, the puppet army company commander.
Zhao Defa was incredibly unlucky, encountering the same Eighth Route Army twice. His troops were also used as the vanguard by Inaba Ittetsu, and half of his team was killed in the first wave of attack.
With the Eighth Route Army's firepower so fierce, he wasn't going to risk his life for the Japanese, so he mostly fired blanks during the charge.
When Zhao Defa saw the six heavy machine guns, he knew he was doomed to defeat. After the battle, he readily surrendered to the Eighth Route Army.
The traitorous intelligence team was incredibly stupid. Knowing full well that the Eighth Route Army had superior firepower, they still charged forward recklessly, and more than a dozen of them were killed by the Eighth Route Army in just a few minutes...
"Sir, hehe..."
Zhao Defa had a fawning smile on his face.
Zhao Gang sized him up and asked, "Have you ever killed a Chinese person?"
This statement hits the nail on the head. If Zhao Defa dared to nod, Zhao Gang would be shot dead!
