Chapter 13 Cleaning up the battlefield and show of force
Today, many ordinary people in Shannan County heard the sound of gunfire. Many ordinary people learned through inquiries that a large number of Japanese troops were attacking the Independence Brigade. Many ordinary people prayed in their hearts, praying that God would bless Shannan County, and the Independence Brigade would be worry-free.
However, after ten o'clock in the evening, the faint gunfire seemed to have stopped gradually. The common people saw that no Japanese troops appeared in Shannan County. Everyone knows that this battle must have been won again by the Independent Brigade.
At night, as the Japanese army retreated, the soldiers were busy treating the wounded. The hospital in Shannan County became the busiest. After this battle, at least hundreds of soldiers were injured and needed treatment, and hundreds of soldiers died.
Fortunately, the Japanese army had already retreated voluntarily.
It was getting dark, and Ye Feng went to the hospital in person. After seeing the wounded soldiers, Ye Feng appeared in the hospital to visit everyone this time. The injured soldiers felt warm.
While Ye Feng was visiting the wounded soldiers, he took advantage of the light of the sky and the sun gradually rose, and many soldiers were already starting to clean the battlefield.
In Shannan County, there are four battlefields of combat, each of which is a Japanese field infantry brigade fighting with the soldiers. After the Japanese retreated in a hurry, they left behind a large number of weapons and equipment and corpses. Now, the soldiers collect weapons and equipment and collect the Japanese corpses.
As for the corpses of the Japanese army, the soldiers followed the convention and searched the valuable things on the corpses first. Many Japanese soldiers were killed by the soldiers, and naturally they seized a lot of property. This time, the independent brigade's finances will be sufficient again.
Some Japanese officers actually found valuable things such as gold bars, gold watches, gold pens, etc., even some ordinary Japanese soldiers often found oceans, even gold bars, etc.
The corpses of these Japanese soldiers were plundered and the soldiers piled up the corpses together. The Japanese corpses piled together seemed shocking and looked a little cunning.
However, most of the soldiers had grown up completely after a war. Even when facing so many Japanese corpses, the soldiers looked calm, and some soldiers were even happy.
It would be strange if the soldiers were unhappy that they were unhappy after killing so many Japanese troops, seizing so many weapons and equipment, and finding so many property.
Northeast of Shannan County, Dongmenling battlefield.
Yesterday, a fierce battle broke out here, and Ye Feng came here in person to cheer and encourage the soldiers. With Ye Feng's encouragement, everyone's fighting spirit was high yesterday. With the help of four large-caliber mortars, not only did they destroy the Japanese brigade command, but also severely damaged the Japanese field infantry brigade.
Now, it was just dawn, hundreds of soldiers from a regiment of infantry were cleaning the battlefield here, a large number of weapons and equipment were collected by the soldiers, and a large number of Japanese corpses were piled up.
"Captain, look, there is a Japanese assistant sword here." A captain company commander was leading dozens of soldiers to clean the Japanese brigade command center.
The Japanese brigade command center was killed by the soldiers using 120mm mortars yesterday. Today, dozens of soldiers, led by the captain's company commander, happily cleaned the battlefield here.
The captain company commander grabbed the command knife of the Japanese brigade captain in his hand and looked at it, and immediately handed it to his regiment commander. At this time, the commander of the infantry first regiment happened to come.
The commander of the regiment pulled out the command knife and looked at it, and said happily: "A good knife is much better than the Japanese black-handed lieutenant swords. Look at it, how sharp."
The command knife of the Japanese army is generally divided into three levels: the black-handed lieutenant sword, the silver-handed lieutenant sword, and the golden-handed lieutenant sword. In addition, some senior Japanese generals may also have treasure swords given by the emperor. Some Japanese officers from Japanese samurai families may carry family-born samurai swords. However, there are very few such Japanese officers, and the treasure swords given by the Japanese emperor are even rarer.
"Captain, look, this is the captain of the Japanese army's Central Corps. He was almost invisible by our mortar shells." The captain's company commander kicked the corpse on the ground and said.
"The first company commander, send someone to search and see if you can find anything valuable."
Seeing his regiment commander say this, the company commander immediately asked several soldiers to search the bodies of the Japanese army Zhongzuo. Several soldiers searched for it, but basically nothing was found.
"What a poor man, I'll take it over and wait and burn it." The commander of the regiment kicked the corpse and said.
If the Japanese brigade captain had a breath, he would definitely jump up. As the Japanese brigade captain, he would definitely have some wealth, but this time the Japanese brigade captain did not bring some with him.
No good things were found on the Japanese brigade captain, but many valuable things were found on the bodies of other Japanese officers. This is the temporary command of the Japanese brigade, and there are many Japanese officers who were killed by the bombing.
"Captain, look, the gold bar, this is a gold watch, and this jade pendant, these are all good things."
"Yeah, it's not bad." The first regiment commander was happy to see so many valuable things, and then said: "Fortunately, these Japanese troops were scared by our mortars. They retreated in a hurry and had no rules. The bodies of his captain and others were not taken away."
"Captain, our mortar was so powerful yesterday. We kept bombarding the Japanese. The Japanese brigade command was our key target. Even if the Japanese wanted to take away their brigade body, they would not have a chance."
The first regiment commander looked around the entire Dongmenling battlefield, not only checking the Japanese brigade command, but also checking the weapons and equipment confiscated by the soldiers.
As for the Japanese's corpses, they were piled up by the soldiers, a lot of them, and finally they were poured on gasoline by the soldiers and burned on the spot.
***
Outside Hangzhou City.
Starting from last evening, the sound of gunfire outside the city began to sound, especially in the west of the city, and it was not until the second half of the night that the sound of gunfire began to gradually become sparse.
When it was dawn, at least hundreds of soldiers from the Independent Brigade appeared in the west of Hangzhou City. If it were before, the soldiers would definitely not have appeared here.
However, this time, the Japanese army in the west of the city were almost wiped out by the soldiers of the tank regiment, and only a few Japanese troops retreated to the city. Hundreds of soldiers left the defense line of the city east of the Independent Brigade early this morning, in accordance with Ye Feng's order, and came here to clean the battlefield.
In addition to hundreds of warriors, there were dozens of large trucks, which were also driven from the highway on the east defense line of the city, preparing to come and load the trophy.
As for the warriors of the tank regiment, after a night of battle, they have basically gathered in the west of the city to protect the soldiers to clean the battlefield.
The nearly 200 tanks of the tank regiment were basically damaged except for a few damaged ones. These tanks formed a huge group of tanks, which lie across the west of Hangzhou City to prevent the Japanese army from coming out of Hangzhou City. The tank regiment was less than a few kilometers away from Hangzhou City, and even many Japanese troops could see tanks.
Early in the morning, Niujima, the commander of the 6th Japanese Division, with a dark circle and a stern face, came to the west of Hangzhou City with at least two or three kilometers away from the tank regiment, occupying a favorable position, holding a telescope and looking at the huge group of chariots ahead.
"Baga! This is a naked threat of force."
Seeing so many tanks, even tank muzzles, facing the direction of Hangzhou City, Niudao was extremely angry and believed that this was a threat to himself.
"His division commander, our mountain artillery brigade was also destroyed by those Chinese tanks yesterday." Seeing the tank group in front, a Japanese colonel also said in grief.
"Baga, these damn Chinese chariots." Niujima Man began to think angrily again, wishing he could swallow these Chinese chariots alive.
The battlefield in the west of the city.
Yesterday, the soldiers of the tank regiment rushed here. At that time, it was night, the soldiers might not see it so clearly. However, now it was dawn and the soldiers had already seen it clearly, and the entire battlefield was in a mess.
A large number of weapons and equipment were scattered on the ground. Apart from a large number of weapons and equipment, the most remaining were a large number of Japanese corpses, a large number of broken corpses, and some even became broken limbs and broken arms.
What attacked these Japanese troops were basically tank shells, heavy machine guns on armored vehicles, even anti-aircraft machine guns, or anti-aircraft machine guns.
These are all powerful heavy weapons and equipment. If you are hit by such weapons, it is unlikely that you can leave all your corpses. These Japanese soldiers who were killed either lack arms and legs or simply separate their bodies. Some Japanese soldiers were even directly crushed into meat pies by tanks or armored vehicles.
"Platform leader, I can't stand it anymore. I want to vomit. There are almost none of them intact." A soldier who was cleaning the battlefield complained.
"You kid, clean the battlefield for me. When you see the weapons and equipment on the truck over there, they are all our spoils. If you can clean so many spoils, what's the point of being disgusting?" The lieutenant platoon leader immediately said.
After thinking about it, the soldier also felt that it makes sense. It is really nothing to be able to gain such a great harvest, a little disgusting and nausea.
"Platform leader, look, more than a dozen oceans." After the soldier who was still complaining just now, he felt a little disgusted in his heart after taking out more than a dozen oceans from a Japanese corpse, he had long since left the sky out of the sky. Now, his face was full of joy and joy.
......
Outside Hangzhou City.
The commander of the 6th Japanese Division, Umejima Man, was still observing the tank regiment far away. At this time, a Japanese major ran over with a sad look on his face and said loudly: "Grand Commander, the Independent Brigade has sent at least hundreds of people to sweep the battlefield and even burned the bodies of our imperial warriors directly with gasoline."
"Baga! We actually burned our imperial warriors." Niushima Man couldn't accept it and immediately roared.
"Independent Brigade, I'm dead." Niu Dao looked ferocious, "Did you see their chariot group? This is a huge chariot group. However, they fought for so long last night, and I guess the fuel and ammunition have been consumed almost all. Putting it in front of us is a complete scare."
After hearing the words of Niujima Man, many Japanese officers around him suddenly realized and nodded in agreement. Niujima Man was completely right. After shooting all night, he could have how much ammunition and how much fuel he could have left.
So, a group of Japanese officers looked at the tank regiment in the distance with their telescopes, their eyes shining. Many Japanese officers thought to themselves that their chance to take revenge has come.
"Contact me with your Excellency Commander Matsui and ask your Excellency Commander to order the motive group to eliminate all the Chinese chariot groups." Niushima Man shouted loudly.
