Chapter 179 Intermittent conversation
The captain of the Japanese Regiment had just thought of letting the artillery attack, but he couldn't bear to lose face for the time being and used heavy artillery to bomb these 8th Route Army.
Second, the heavy artillery from the artillery has just bombed the artillery position of the Eighth Route opposite. The cannons are similar to those of the people. Now it should be slowed down, otherwise what should I do if the explosion occurs?
So the captain of the Japanese corps was not ready to use artillery at this time, but was preparing to rest for a while and then launch a second attack. He thought that the Tu Eighth Route Army on the opposite side was only an independent battalion, and seven or eight hundred people were killed. That was the only one. It might be that there were only five or six hundred people! This was what the Japanese thought subconsciously, but he forgot that if Li Jian really had only these people, how could he be able to defend the Japanese's fierce attack, and he also defended it two or three times!
And Li Jian’s side! Because they had just repelled the Japanese, they were digging trenches and cleaning up the dirt inside!
Many soldiers carried the dead soldiers down, while some soldiers went to the back to move the ammunition box. This battle consumed a lot of ammunition, so it must be replenished at a very fast speed. Otherwise, even the richness of the independent battalion would not be able to withstand such fierce attacks by the Japanese!
Li Jian walked in the trench and found that only some soldiers with legs and feet were injured and did not organize the trenches or carry ammunition, and the rest of the soldiers were basically moving!
These injured soldiers were lying in the trench with their backs against the trench. Some were holding a cigarette in their mouths, and were sucking beautifully at this time!
At this time, an injured squad leader saw Li Jian coming over and wanted to stand up, but Li Jian stopped him and sat down himself. At this time, the squad leader said:
"Battery Commander, the Japanese have spent a lot of money this time. Last time we worked with half of the Japanese independence, the Japanese were not so fierce! This time, there were nearly thirty people in my squad, but after these battles, only half of them were left. The rest were either hospitalized or... "
Speaking of this, the squad leader was a little choked. Li Jian knew him, and he was also the first group of soldiers Li Jian recruited. He had participated in several battles with Li Jian before, so he was considered a veteran, otherwise he would not be able to be the squad leader!
After hearing his words, Li Jian sighed. Not only him, but also the situation in other classes is basically the case, with nearly half of the casualties!
"Hey! Xiao Qian! You have to know that this time we are facing a reorganized gang of Japanese soldiers, and there are heavy artillery! We have done a good job. If other troops come, it is probably impossible for us to have a record!"
They may be able to withstand this long, and there are several key points, that is, Li Jian and the others are familiar with the terrain here, the Japanese are not familiar with it, and the independent battalion has sufficient material reserves, powerful weapons and equipment, proper firepower configuration, and the logistics supply behind them can keep up, and they also have artillery soldiers!
But just like this, they were armed to the teeth, and they fought very hard, because the combat power of the Japanese on the opposite side seemed to be stronger than the Japanese they had encountered before!
"I know the battalion commander! I just saw that all the soldiers I had died, and I felt a little uncomfortable!"
Xiao Qian's tears were already spinning in his eyes at this time, but he didn't let it flow down. He had experienced many battles himself and knew that war would definitely kill people, but because he had only been in the army for more than half a year and had not been able to fully adapt!
Not to mention him, even Li Jian did not fully adapt. Seeing that many of the new recruits he had recruited were killed, he didn't know how to explain to their family when he went back!
So he usually doesn't go to the homes of the fallen soldiers to see the situation. He is afraid that he will not cook and say anything. Some soldiers have wives, children, parents, and a man in their families. If a man dies, the family will be almost half-destroyed!
So he simply gave all these things to Zhao Yiyi. She had good eloquence and she didn't have the feelings for some men, so it might be much better for her to deal with them!
"Okay! The Japanese probably will launch another attack next, so you can rest first!"
Li Jian patted his shoulder, then started to walk towards the other trenches. The soldiers had the same faces, basically all with black and gray faces. If they hadn't been with each other every day, they might not have recognized their own father when they came!
Li Jian was walking in the trench. At this time, Xu Ming ran over. He saw Li Jian and Li Jian also saw him. At this time, Xu Ming had a bandage tied to his arm, and there were several bruises of Japanese bullets on his face. His thighs also made the Japanese shrapnel bite, but the injuries were not serious!
"How is it? Your injury!"
Li Jian and him sat on the ground at this time, and then Li Jian asked. At this time, Xu Ming also smiled and said:
"It's nothing. I just let the Japanese take a bite of bullets and scratch the shrapnel on their thighs. It's not a big injury, and it's nothing to stop the blood! Compared to other soldiers, I'm still lucky!"
Xu Ming said while pinching his injured arm. At this time, Li Jian was relieved, so he continued:
"How are the casualties on your side? My casualties are almost half of them!"
"The same is true on my side. I guess the deputy battalion commander is similar to Dafa's side! These Japanese are really popular. The situation just now was that they wanted to eat us in one bite! But they underestimated us. Can we eat as long as he wants?"
At this time, Xu Ming also smiled, and then a little sadness appeared on his face. Li Jian saw it and asked:
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Battery Commander, the Japanese attacks were not smooth several times. Will they launch artillery bombardment? You must know that their cannons are quite powerful!"
Xu Ming also roughly knew the power of the Japanese heavy artillery. Although he had never seen those heavy artillery and had never been bombed, he had to roughly know it from the statements of Daniu and Li Jian! That's why he was so worried!
"There will definitely be gunfire from the Japanese, but it's not now. The cannons are like people. If they fight too much, they need to rest! It's already afternoon, and they just bombed Daniu and the others. I guess they won't bomb us today, but we will definitely be bombed tomorrow. I just don't know if Daniu can kill it as soon as possible!"
When Li Jian said this, his face also showed a ruthless look. At this time, Xu Ming immediately said:
"This big guy should do it. Although he is not reliable in normal times, he will not lose his links at critical moments. But we still have to endure the bombing of the Japanese!"
After saying that, he looked at the soldiers who were doing things and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He knew that many soldiers would definitely die at that time!
"This is also impossible. Who made us soldiers? If we don't have the courage to face cannons, why do we let the common people carry hoes and the Japanese do it?"
