Bright Sword: Rebirth of Kong Jie

The damage ratio is 1:25.

Such a victory was indeed rare in the confrontation between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army.

When the forces of both sides are large.

Such a casualty ratio is unimaginable.

There is nothing we can do.

The gap between the two armies' military equipment and training levels is too great.

Even on the front battlefield, the Japanese army often used fewer troops to defeat a larger one, and their casualties were often far less than those of the National Army.

The two sides were able to achieve a casualty ratio of nearly 1:1, which was a great victory that the National Army could hardly have dreamed of.

Not to mention the Eighth Route Army troops, which already had outdated equipment and insufficient training.

The Independent Regiment was able to completely wipe out the Japanese Namwon Battalion with the strength of one regiment, achieving a casualty ratio of 1:25. Even if it was an ambush, if the news got out, it would be enough to shock the entire North China.

The victory in this battle resulted in even richer spoils.

Including 12 Type 4 heavy machine guns, of which were damaged.

Two Type 200 infantry guns and more than rounds of artillery shells.

There were 31 Type 14 grenade launchers, 600 of which were damaged, and more than grenade launchers.

There were 11 Taisho 37-year type machine guns, 16 of which were damaged.

In addition, a considerable number of grenades, bayonet rifles, pistols, as well as various gun repair tools, canned food, medicines, lubricants, etc. carried by the Japanese supply team were also seized.

A total of more than 6.5 of the most basic mm bullets were seized.

This was even after the Nanyuan squad had put up a fierce resistance, consumed a considerable amount of ammunition, and when they saw they could not escape, they concentrated on destroying a batch of ammunition.

A field battalion of the Japanese was merely equivalent to a battalion-level combat unit of the Eighth Route Army.

The abundant ammunition reserves and sophisticated equipment amazed the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

In the past few years, when the conditions in the army were relatively difficult, let alone a newly formed regiment like their independent regiment, even the main regiments like the 771st and 772nd Regiments were in trouble.

Forget about infantry artillery.

Even there are only a few 50mm caliber grenade launchers.

The most basic ammunition, not to mention the different calibers, even if all the bullets of the entire regiment were added together, would not exceed 50,000 rounds.

It is still far less than the amount of ammunition stored by a regular field battalion of the Japanese army!

Li Yunlong even shouted that he had made a fortune. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army probably had never truly destroyed a large battalion of the Japanese.

After the news of the independent regiment's ambush was passed to the 386th Brigade Headquarters.

It was learned that the independent regiment had completely wiped out the Japanese Namwon Battalion in the base area, killing more than 1600 devils and achieving a casualty ratio of 1:25.

The old brigade commander slammed the table and stood up, his mouth wide open in surprise.

Then he asked, "How much equipment was seized?"

The communications soldier who was responsible for reporting the situation was stunned on the spot.

It seemed that Kong Jie and Li Yunlong's explanation to him was still fresh in his mind - "Whenever the brigade commander asks, just say that we didn't capture much, and all the ammunition was blown up by the Japanese before they died!"

The communications soldier answered honestly according to the instructions of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

The brigade commander didn't believe a word of it: "The casualty ratio of 25:1 is enough to prove that this ambush was a crushing defeat. If the Japanese had the leisure to gather together the guns and ammunition and destroy them, it would be a miracle if they could achieve such a casualty ratio.

Okay, okay, go back and tell Kong Jie and Li Yunlong.

It's just a few things, are you afraid that others will keep eyeing on you?

"

After sending away the signalman, the brigade commander immediately delivered the news directly to the front-line headquarters. The 386th Brigade had won such a great victory, so of course they had to brag about it.

Especially at this critical moment when the Shota War has just begun.

The independent regiment carried out a perfect ambush.

"This is a great start for our Shota War!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff said so with emotion.

Then I heard that it was Li Yunlong who personally commanded the front line and wiped out the Japanese Namwon Battalion.

The boss thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Li Yunlong has been the deputy head of the independent regiment for some time. Since he has made contributions, he should be rewarded.

This kid must have been feeling frustrated being Kong Jie's deputy.

Let's give him a regiment and let him lead the troops!"

The order from the front-line headquarters was delivered to the independent regiment headquarters one day later. According to the order from the headquarters, Li Yunlong was transferred to the position of commander of the newly formed New Second Regiment.

The defense zone is in the mountainous area around Yangquan.

At the same time, they participated in the sabotage campaign against the Japanese Zhengtai Railway Line in the Yangquan area.

When the news reached the independent regiment's headquarters, Li Yunlong was overjoyed. He was finally able to be the regiment commander again. In Li Yunlong's own words, "I was born to be a regiment commander, and I don't want to do anything else except that."

It is indeed a bit depressing to serve as a deputy to Kong Jie, an old comrade.

"Congratulations, Lao Li!"

Kong Jie sincerely congratulated Li Yunlong.

Given Li Yunlong's ability, being the deputy head of the regiment is indeed an injustice.

The Eighth Route Army's front-line combat troops lacked capable military cadres with command experience. According to Li Yunlong's ability and qualifications, he should have been transferred to the front line as a regiment commander long ago.

This time, the destruction of the Namwon Battalion was another great achievement.

Everything was as expected and happened naturally.

As for Kong Jie, as the leader of the independent regiment, he was the one who planned the entire destruction of the Japanese army brigade, so he naturally deserves the most credit.

However, the Nationalist government had limited staffing for the Eighth Route Army, and no matter how great Kong Jie's contributions were, it was impossible for him to receive a significant promotion in position in a short period of time.

Facing Kong Jie's congratulations, Li Yunlong's face was full of smiles, but the words came to his lips:

"I say, Lao Kong, we are old comrades, and I have worked for you for such a long time, you can't just congratulate me for nothing.

At least give me some practical benefits!"

Kong Jie smiled and said, "Old Li, what do you want?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he thought there was a chance, and he immediately rolled his eyes and said, "First of all, it's the special operations team. Lao Kong, you promised me that you would help our new second regiment to form a powerful special operations team.

In addition, I heard that the New Second Regiment was formed by drawing from local troops and some militia teams. Not only is its equipment poor, but its combat effectiveness is also estimated to be far inferior.

I would like to borrow another group of experienced military cadres from you.

As for equipment and ammunition, the more the better. I need about 40 or heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and about the same number of grenade launchers. Oh, and those unscrupulous cannons you produced, Old Kong. I can't have less. Give me two more infantry cannons and about or rounds of ammunition. I think that's enough..."

Hear the words.

Kong Jie turned around and left.

Li Yunlong behind him was so frightened that he shouted, "No, no, no, no, no, Lao Kong, I was just kidding you! How can I ask for so much? You only need half of the equipment I just mentioned."
