Chapter 26 Make a fortune!)
"The regiment commander, the Japanese in the city, have all been killed by us. The Japanese command center, arsenal and prisoner-of-war camp have all fallen into our hands." Sun Changwu, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion, had a smile on his face.
The other two infantry battalions had smiles on their faces.
"Haha, okay, a great achievement!" Qin Shou laughed. It only took an hour and a half from launching the attack to the entire Myitkyina falling into the hands of the supplementary regiment. It was only an hour and a half, and it was a quick battle.
"Are we suffering heavy casualties?" Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan was more concerned about this.
"Chief of Staff, our battalion lost more than 40 brothers." As soon as we said the casualties, the smiles on everyone's faces became a little dim.
"The losses of our battalion reached more than 60 people."
"The 3rd Battalion lost more than twenty people."
The losses of the three battalions were combined, and most of the company was reimbursed. This was the case where the supplementary regiment had an absolute advantage. Of course, Qin Shou was actually very satisfied with being able to become like this. Who made the supplementary regiment have just been expanded and still in the running-in period?
"Okay, brothers, don't be stubborn. It is a rare victory to be able to lose more than 100 people and wipe out more than 500 Japanese devils by losing more than 100 people. Although our troops are ten times that of Japanese devils and their firepower is stronger than them. However, our opponents are the elite troops of Japanese devils! They are defeated in the entire Southeast Asia, and we are just a group of defeated soldiers.
Of course, I believe that as long as we continue to win one battle after another, after the training of blood and fire on the battlefield, our troops will sooner or later be no less than the Japanese. Even more powerful than them. Everyone must have confidence in this."
Qin Shou knew that the morale of the troops could not be hit. The capture of Myitkyina would be a big victory for the supplementary regiment. But at the same time, this made the supplementary regiment completely exposed to the eyes of the Japanese army. From now on, they might be surrounded by the Japanese army with all their might.
"Yes, regiment commander." Several battalion commanders nodded repeatedly.
Indeed, their current troops cannot be compared with the elite troops of the Japanese. However, who dares to assert that their future troops will definitely not be opponents of the Japanese? Under the leadership of the regiment commander, they are constantly winning battles. This is undoubtedly a good start.
"Captain, where will we go first?" Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan changed the topic.
"Go to the arsenal!" Qin Shou said. What he cared most was undoubtedly the arsenal of the Japanese. The weapons in it were directly related to whether the supplementary regiment could make another leap.
"Okay, regiment commander. I promise that our gains this time will definitely satisfy the regiment commander." Major Yu Chengyin, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion who was responsible for attacking the arsenal, had a smile on his face.
"Oh? Then tell me, what good things are inside?" Qin Shou was also intrigued.
"Hehe, team leader, you will know then." Yu Chengyin seemed to be keeping it confidential.
"You're still burying the silence? OK! Let's go and have a look." Qin Shou led everyone to the arsenal.
"Captain, where is the prisoner-of-war camp? After all, there are 20,000 to 30,000 prisoners of war there." Liu Shiquan was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Chief of Staff, I can't make any troubles." Qin Shou looked full of confidence.
Qin Shou knew what Liu Shiquan was worried about. In the prisoner-of-war camp in Myitkyina, there were 20,000 to 30,000 prisoners of war from the Expeditionary Force. There were not only some ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, but also some school-level officers. The commander of Qin Shou, the supplementary regiment, had only a rank of lieutenant colonel in the Expeditionary Force. Maybe among those prisoners of war, there were people with higher ranks than him. Who should they listen to?
If Qin Shou wants to realize his ambitions and ambitions, he must ensure full control of the army. Otherwise, once the army falls into the hands of those civil war masters and foreign war masters, everything will be done. Not to mention that his ambition cannot be realized, and even his life cannot be saved. Who wouldn't want to hold the supplementary group he has created now?
Qin Shou naturally wanted those prisoners of war in the Myitkyina prison camp. If the officers were willing to follow him, he would naturally accept them. However, if they were unwilling to follow him, they would still want to demolish his platform, so don't blame him for being ruthless.
Qin Shou and his group headed straight to the arsenal. The entire arsenal has been taken over by the 2nd Battalion. There are still many soldiers who are counting the weapons and equipment inside.
The arsenal covers an area of several acres. When Qin Shou and others walked into the gate, they were immediately shocked.
The boxes of rifles piled up like a hill. In addition, there are also a large number of Type 96 light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns, all of which are quite large.
There are many artillery of various caliber, including Type 92 infantry cannons, light and medium-sized mortars, and various mountain running.
In addition, there are some howitzers, Type 91 105mm field guns, Type 96 150mm field howitzers.
"Wow, there are really many good guys! This is a 150mm caliber howitzer, its power is probably quite amazing." Major Yu Fei, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, looked at the cannons, and his eyes shone.
"The Japanese Type 96 150mm field howitzer. It has good power and has a long range. However, this thing is too heavy, with a total of more than four tons. It is difficult to transfer the transportation facilities in Myanmar. Moreover, we have to deal with the Japanese in the mountains and forests of Myanmar. The Type 91 105mm field howitzer can be taken away. For these big guys, let's forget it." Qin Shou shook his head.
Of course he knew that the artillery with a larger caliber would be even more powerful. Unfortunately, it was not applicable to the current supplementary regiment. They were about to be besieged by the Japanese, and with their current strength, it was impossible for them to stick to Myitkyina. Before the main force of the Japanese encircled them, they had to evacuate.
At that time, if you drill in the deep mountains and forests, these large-caliber heavy artillery may only be abandoned. Of course, you can use it in Myitkyina.
"Captain, this is a list of weapons in the arsenal." Major Yu Chengyin handed a list to Qin Shou.
After Qin Shou finished reading it, his face was filled with smiles.
"Chief of Staff, it seems that we can use the weapons here to form five or six troops similar to the supplementary regiment. In addition, we can also pull up an artillery regiment. Only then can we really send it out."
