When the battle ended, it was already slightly dark.

The little Japanese fled back to the east coast in embarrassment, and an elite team was completely disabled.

Jiang Dong took Xiaodouzi to the forward position and saw many injured brothers being carried down along the way.

Arriving at the Second Company's position, Jiang Dong saw the soldiers leaning in the trenches with disgraced faces, looking a little tired but without panic or fear.

As he walked, he greeted the soldiers cordially, and the soldiers responded in a somewhat reserved and shy manner.

"How is it?" Jiang Dong came to Zhang Shengqing's side.

When Zhang Shengqing saw his camp arriving, he nodded, turned to look at the battlefield and said:

"The little devil left half of the body behind and retreated."

Jiang Dong observed the battlefield in front of him at close range. The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood rushed towards him. Zhang Shengqing beside him continued:

"Looking at it like this, the Japs won't attack again today. Fortunately, Yingzuo, you noticed the Japs' intentions, otherwise all our firepower points would have been exposed."

Zhang Shengqing felt a little scared when he thought of the fierce artillery fire and accurate grenades of the Japs.

If the Japs were allowed to figure out the strength and firepower allocation of the entire battalion in one attack, they would have to withstand the most violent bombardment by the Japs, and it would be difficult to achieve the goal of maximizing the damage to the enemy and holding the position.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire his camp a little more.

"Well, you fought well in this battle, much better than I expected." Jiang Dong said.

"Thank you Yingzuo for the compliment, it all depends on the brothers' hard work."

"How did the brothers perform in the first actual battle?"

"Well... the camp is generally good, mainly due to the high-intensity training before."

Zhang Shengqing answered somewhat modestly. In his heart, he actually gave 10 points to his brothers.

"Um."

Jiang Dong nodded and took Zhang Shengqing back to the command post of his second company.

This is a slightly larger bunker built with wooden boards and sandbags. There is only a phone and a map in the bunker.

Not long after, First Company Commander Li Xuelin and Third Company Commander Wang Laohu also came over.

Although the two company commanders did not have much trouble in this first battle, they all looked cheerful and smiling.

The three company commanders stood together, stood at attention and saluted Jiangdong with a standard military salute, and Jiangdong returned the salute.

Outside the bunker, the three company commanders would not salute Jiangdong. Similarly, other soldiers would not salute their respective commanders. After all, the enemy's marksmanship is no joke.

"Okay, now let's talk about their respective casualties?" Jiang Dong said, looking at the three company commanders.

The three company commanders looked at each other, and Li Xuelin, the first company commander, spoke first,

"One of my companies was killed and one was seriously injured, all caused by the bombardment by the Japanese. These two soldiers were frightened by the shelling and their legs were weak, and they were unable to enter the bunker in time."

Li Xuelin felt a little ashamed. Such casualties could have been avoided.

"Um."

Jiang Dong pressed lightly and looked at the second company commander.

"Reporting to the camp, it was just calculated that 14 brothers were casualties." Zhang Shengqing attracted the attention of several people as soon as he opened his mouth.

Just listen to him continue:

"Six people died, three were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured."

There was no visible change in Jiang Dong's expression, but Wang Laohu and Li Xuelin were a little surprised.

Because judging from the battlefield situation just now, the second company was almost overwhelming the Japs. With the firepower and numbers completely dominant, the casualties of a dozen people were indeed a bit heavy.

Jiang Dong looked at Wang Laohu again.

Wang Laohu immediately understood,

"My third company only has 4 minor injuries, which will not affect the rest of the battle."

Zhang Dong nodded and calculated in his mind.

Half an hour of fighting resulted in 21 casualties on his own side, and almost 30 of the Japs were killed. This casualty ratio was unacceptable to him, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Annihilating more than 30 enemies is already considered a big victory among the national army.

After winning the first battle, Jiangdong did not want to affect the morale of several company commanders due to casualties, so he changed the subject and asked:

"During the battle, I saw a brother whose marksmanship was very good. He killed the Japs' grenade launchers and machine gunners. Before that, I had never heard of such a number one person in our camp."

Hearing the battalion commander ask about the little hunter, Zhang Shengqing felt a little proud.

"This is the camp. That brother is called Little Hunter, and he is a squad leader in our company. He is usually low-key and seldom talks, so you don't know him in the camp."

"Well, call me to see you. Such a good seedling needs to be carefully cultivated. It's hard to come by."

Jiang Dong's tone sounded a little impatient.

"Okay, I'll ask someone to call him right now!"

About three minutes later, a muscular young man walked in.

The person who came had dark skin and an ordinary face that you wouldn't find in a crowd, except for his sharp eyes.

The little hunter felt a little frightened when he saw several officers standing in front of him.

In this era, the majesty of the chief cannot be underestimated.

"Did you kill the Japs' grenade launchers and several machine gunners?"

The little hunter naturally knew the battalion commander. When he heard Jiang Dong's question, he quickly answered:

"Yes, battalion commander, I did all the beatings."

"Well done, I guess you're not even 20 years old yet!" Jiang Dong enthusiastically patted the little hunter on the shoulder.

When the little hunter saw the battalion commander smiling, he thought of the commander who had forced him to join the army.

"Back to the battalion commander, he is almost 20 years old."

"What's your real name? How come you have such good marksmanship?"

The little hunter hesitated for a while, and looking at the battalion commander's slightly concerned expression, he gritted his teeth and told the officers about his forced recruitment.

"My real name is Chen Zhengyue. I was named by my father."

Jiang Dong and several company commanders all showed knowing smiles. In the Republic of China, some uneducated parents named their children in such a simple, crude and direct way. As for Chen Zhengyue's experience, he could only smile bitterly. After all, such a thing

It is very common in the national army.

"Is it because you were born in the first month that your father gave you the first month?" Wang Laohu asked with a smart look on his face.

"Well, no, it's because my mother conceived me in the first month of the year. My father thought that the first month of the year was the beginning of the year and was a good sign, so he gave me this name."

Chen Zhengyue speaks more and more fluently.

Wang Laohu was choked and speechless, as if he had eaten a mouth full of flies.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jiang Dong and the other two company commanders laughed heartily. They didn't expect that Chen Zhengyue's father was also a man who didn't play by the rules.

After laughing for a while, Jiang Dong began to chat with Chen Zhengyue about marksmanship. As they chatted, Jiang Dong began to discover how interesting this little guy was.

Although he doesn't have any profound theories, he can always get to the point of shooting in one sentence.

"Haha, not bad, not only are you good at shooting, you also have a great understanding of shooting."

Chen Zhengyue's face turned red and he touched his head. He was a little overwhelmed by the company commander's praise.

"Shengqing, in the future battles, you have to teach Brother Xiao Chen how to identify the Japanese commander. With his marksmanship, he can still capture the enemy's head several hundred meters away."

Jiang Dong said to Zhang Shengqing.

Zhang Shengqing responded quickly and looked at Chen Zhengyue dotingly.

"In future battles, you must learn to protect yourself while killing more enemies. Our war with the Japs has just begun, and the war will get bigger and bigger in the future."

Hearing what Jiang Dong said, the company commanders and Chen Zhengyue became serious.

Jiang Dong asked again:

"Which one is more enjoyable, using a gun or killing wild animals in the mountains with you?"

Several people were stunned. How could the battalion commander ask such a perverted question? He was just a child.

But Chen Zhengyue raised his head and asked,

"The battalion commander wants me to tell the truth or a lie?"

Several company commanders looked at each other, but they didn't expect this little guy to be such a person, and even played tricks with the battalion commander.

"Haha, of course you are telling the truth!" Jiang Dong was also happy.

"It's more fun to kill someone!" Chen Zhengyue's answer was brief, yet resounding.

The expressions of several company commanders changed again and again, but in the end they still said nothing.
