Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 107 When the leader comes back and sees you guys like this, he will definitely jump up and d

The journey back was also full of thrills. On the third day, the Japanese dispatched a squadron of fighter jets to conduct aerial reconnaissance within a radius of 100 kilometers, with Zhongjialing as the center.

Lin Zhenhua had to arrange for everyone to hide and march with torches at night. The person he was most worried about, Masao Kojima, was very honest. He stayed in the team and never sneaked away once.

Lin Zhenhua took this opportunity to find out about the casualties of the troops and the amount of spoils.

"Sister Xiao'e, please tell me about the casualties of the troops!"

Tian Xiao'e attended such a meeting for the first time, and she replied nervously: "College students, our medical team has treated 38 wounded soldiers, including eight seriously injured and 30 slightly injured. After two days of care, 12 of them have returned to the team. In the previous battle, the puppet army suffered more casualties, but none of our soldiers died, while 22 puppet soldiers died."

Lin Zhenhua saw Tian Xiao'e's voice trembling as she spoke, and after roughly understanding the situation, he stopped asking. He looked at Li Sanwa and asked, "Li Sanwa, tell us how much spoils we have captured, so that we can all have fun!"

Li Sanwa had a bright smile on his face and replied cheerfully, "Captain, we have made quite a fortune this time. According to my statistics over the past two days, in these two battles, we have seized a total of 186 Type 200 rifles, six Turtle Boxes, four mortars, eight grenade launchers, six Type light machine guns, six Czech light machine guns, two Type heavy machine guns, four Maxim heavy machine guns, two Type infantry guns, more than rounds of various bullets, and more than rounds of various artillery shells."

"We seized 1500 individual rations from the Japanese, 30 boxes of canned meat, 300 cans in each box, 1000 in total, more than 1000 kilograms of flour, more than a kilogram of rice, more than kilograms of cornmeal, more than kilograms of millet, some bedding and shoes, and quite a few miscellaneous items!"

"Of course, there is also a Japanese Zero fighter, two Japanese trucks, 18 mules and carriages, two boxes of medicine, some bandages and alcohol. The things we seized this time are not small, enough for all of us to eat for a month and a half."

After listening to Li Sanwa's report, everyone was smiling. If it weren't for the food crisis, everyone would be busy producing rockets at the Lijiazhuang Arsenal. How could they have time to fight?

"Comrades, more than a dozen of our comrades were injured in these two battles, but none of them were seriously injured. At most, they will be able to return to the team in half a month. With more than a month's worth of rations, we will continue to produce after we return. This time the rocket launcher did not show its power. I decided to increase the caliber of the rockets after we return and launch 105mm rockets. The explosive power is at least equivalent to that of 120mm shells. With the support of large-scale rocket launchers, we are equivalent to having heavy artillery. Next time we encounter the devil's artillery, we will also have the power to fight back!"

"Wang Tiezhu, your kitchen team must ensure that the wounded are well nourished and that they recover and return to the team as soon as possible."

"Li Sanwa, your artillery didn't perform very well this time. When you go back, practice hard and don't be afraid of wasting shells. If you don't improve next time, you won't be a platoon leader anymore. Go back and be my private!"

"Platoon Leader Wang, your second platoon's performance was terrible this time. I taught you the anti-aircraft combat skills before, and you trained well in normal times. But when the time came for real, you all became weaklings. You wasted more than 20,000 rounds of artillery shells, and you didn't even shoot down a single enemy fighter plane. Reflect on your actions when you go back. If you perform at this level again next time, you will go back to being your private!"

"Platoon Leader Lu, your three platoons' performance this time was average, nothing outstanding. You are the best performer among the three platoons, but I have very high expectations for you. The title of each platoon will be changed. The platoon that fights the best will be the main force of our team and will get to pick the good stuff first. I want to inspire your wolf nature. The captain has been away these days, and I noticed that you have been a little lax. When he comes back and sees you in this state, he will be so angry that he will curse you!"

The three platoon leaders lowered their heads with bitter looks on their faces. They admitted that they had been a little slack these days. In addition, the army had expanded too quickly, with more new recruits than old soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the army had indeed declined a lot. This was indeed related to them, and they had no way to refute it. They secretly made up their minds that they would impress Lin Zhenhua next time.

"Okay, stop looking so sad, hurry up and have dinner. Leave two squads to be on guard, and the rest of you can rest. We still have to travel tonight!"

North China Front Army Headquarters.

After receiving the report from the aviation squadron, Admiral Tada Shun suppressed his anger and scolded his nephew Hirata Kojiro: "Kojiro, you idiot, you still haven't figured out the specific information of that group of Chinese people. You really disappoint me! I thought you had made some progress these days, but I didn't expect you to become more and more stupid. You even got involved with that bastard Yamamoto Ikki. You are giving up a bright future. If you weren't my nephew, you would have been sent to the military court to apologize!"

Hirata Kojiro replied tremblingly: "Uncle, I had no choice. The firepower of that Eighth Route Army squad was really fierce. Even Yamamoto Ikki almost didn't escape. At that time, I could only rely on them. I had to say a few good words for them. Please understand, uncle!"

"I suggested that you send a large army to encircle and suppress this small team, but you were unwilling to do so. I think your idea is wrong. If this continues, this small team will continue to grow and cause greater losses to the empire!"

Tada Shunda waved his hands and said earnestly: "Kojiro, your vision is too narrow. You only see the strength of this small team, but you don't understand that this small team has no impact on the overall situation. Our main target is still the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. As long as we destroy their leaders, we can eliminate the Eighth Route Army forces in the consular district in one fell swoop."

"I know you are determined to be tied to Yamamoto Ikki, so I will give you this opportunity. From now on, whether you live or die will no longer be my business. Yamamoto Ikki is my mortal enemy. How far you can go in the future depends on yourself!"

With tears in his eyes, Hirata Kojiro reluctantly said, "Uncle, I have grown up. I want to prove that I am a man. I will definitely catch the commander of the Eighth Route Army squad. I will prove to you that I am really not a coward!"
