After burying the bodies of the fallen soldiers, the mortar platoon immediately reorganized the fortifications according to Zhang Wei's instructions.
When Zhang Wei returned to the preparation camp position, the casualties were also counted.
After this battle, the preparation camp suffered a total of nearly fifty casualties.
No. 1, including reinforcements For the troops in the second battalion position, the average casualties per company were not large.
Within Zhang Wei's acceptance range, the combat effectiveness of each company was not affected too much.
According to the old rules, lightly wounded soldiers were dealt with by themselves, and seriously wounded soldiers were treated by themselves.
Gather together and wait for evacuation.
Things are almost done in his own position.
Zhang Wei still doesn't know what the battle damage of the two friendly battalions is.
Judging from the battle just now, the losses of the second battalion of the friendly 276 regiment will not be small.
Even the position was breached by the Japanese army. , along the trench, Zhang Wei walked to the second battalion position on the left wing of the defense line.
The three platoons led by He Kun have just withdrawn.
The Second Battalion position can be said to be quite chaotic now.
The section of the defense line that was broken through by the Japanese army, the trenches were almost filled with the corpses of the two armies, and the surrounding areas were all intact or damaged.
Arms and firearms, as well as all kinds of broken limbs, the soldiers of the second battalion were digging corpse pits and clearing trenches.
Zhang Wei walked through the mixed crowd and failed to find the battalion commander of the second battalion.
When he saw a second lieutenant officer directing people to carry the body, he grabbed him.
"Brother, where is your battalion commander?"
When the second lieutenant saw a major approaching, he quickly stood up and replied: "Sir, our battalion commander is at the heavy machine gun position.
Just walk a little further to the left."
"Thanks."
Following the instructions of the second lieutenant, Zhang Wei walked for a while and found the battalion commander of the second battalion.
He was shouting and drinking in the trench of the heavy machine gun position.
It seemed that he was also organizing the restoration of the position.
The heavy machine gun position of the second battalion was fighting. was directly hit by the Japanese 92 Infantry Artillery.
Half of the heavy machine gun platoon was destroyed, and now only one heavy machine gun and one squad of troops were left.
The machine gun position was beaten to pieces by infantry artillery.
Sandbags and broken machine gun parts were scattered near the shooting position. , most of the poorly dug parapets were destroyed.
Seeing Zhang Wei coming, the second battalion commander put down his work and walked over: "Brother, thank you for the reinforcement just now, otherwise our battalion's position may collapse."
"You're welcome.
Your camp has been fighting very tenaciously.
The little devils who attacked turned all their efforts on you, and it's not easy to handle them."
The second battalion commander nodded: "Yes, look at this machine gun position.
Half of it was destroyed by the Japs, leaving only one gun.
This machine gun platoon also lost half of its soldiers."
"Approximately what are the total casualties?"
"Including this machine gun platoon, the whole battalion suffered about 120 casualties.
The platoon that was attacked was almost completely destroyed.
The platoon leader named Li was also killed.
Only half of the company was left.
I can only The remaining people were reduced to a reinforced platoon, and the other two companies were okay, the losses were not too big," the second battalion commander said sadly.
The losses were indeed big enough.
More than half of the casualties of an infantry company were basically casualties.
The muscles are shaking.
"Actually, the casualties during the shelling were not that big.

Those who died were basically killed during the bayonet fight and cross-fire.
It was all thanks to you, brother, during the bayonet fight.
Otherwise, such a big hole would not have been blocked."
Zhang Wei looked at the second battalion's position: "Yes, after all, our combat quality is not as good as others.
You have many recruits and not enough training time.
When encountering things like bayonet and rifle shooting, you can't handle the little Japs with firepower."
Also weak."
After negotiating with the Second Battalion Commander for a while, Zhang Wei also learned from the Second Battalion Commander’s mouth the casualties of the First Battalion, the friendly force on the right wing of the Preparatory Battalion.
The First Battalion suffered more casualties than the Preparatory Battalion, but fewer than the Second Battalion, with more than 70 casualties. , can be regarded as quite satisfactory.
After all, the position of the first battalion was not attacked by the Japanese army with all its strength, but the positions of the preparation battalion and the second battalion were successively attacked by the main force of the Japanese army.
The intensity of the battle was incomparable.
The Second Battalion's position was almost breached.
Zhang Wei believed that on the one hand, it was due to combat quality, and on the other hand, it was a problem of firepower.
At present, the entire heavy firepower on the entire defense line is only an 82nd mortar platoon, and there is only one company of heavy machine guns, and it is Spread into three steps In the barracks position, Zhang Wei originally thought that if all three battalions of heavy machine gun companies were brought up, the machine guns would be too densely arranged, but judging from the situation just now, two heavy machine guns from each battalion simply could not be deployed in front of the position.
Form effective cross-blocking firepower.
If according to the normal organization, each infantry battalion has six heavy machine guns, it will be much more difficult for the Japanese army to break through the second battalion's position.
Considering that the defenders' fortifications have been excavated through battles and construction, Zhang Wei He believed that we should take advantage of the opportunity to evacuate the wounded and apply to bring up all the heavy machine gun companies of the three battalions.
The second battalion commander immediately agreed.
Although the first battalion commander was not here, he would not refuse this approach.
The heavy machine gun company currently on the defense line is actually the heavy machine gun company of the first battalion on the right wing of the preparation battalion.
Zhang Wei and the second battalion commander sent people to notify the first battalion commander to prepare for the evacuation of the wounded, and at the same time ordered the troops assigned to the preparation battalion and The heavy machine guns of the second battalion were transferred to the position of the first battalion on the right wing, allowing the heavy machine gun company of the first battalion to truly return to its original organization.
After making arrangements, negotiating the changes in the position, and summarizing the casualty data of his three battalions, Zhang Wei returned to the preparation camp position first.
There was still a lot of mess that the second battalion commander had not cleaned up, and it was not convenient for Zhang Wei to be in the second battalion position.
Spending time wasting time.
Zhang Wei returned to the preparation camp position and ordered Qiu Wei and himself to count the approximate losses of the Japanese army.
The injuries could not be estimated.
The results could only be calculated based on the Japanese corpses in front of the position.
After counting, the Japanese corpses in front of the preparation camp position were approximately Appearing to be over fifty, Japanese owner The main casualties came from the intensive grenades thrown by the preparation battalion, but not many died from gunshots.
After suffering the loss of the grenades, the Japanese troops in front of the preparation battalion position began to retreat and shifted the focus of the attack to the second battalion position.
The number of kills from battalion ammunition was not high.
"There were about forty corpses of Japanese soldiers in the Second Battalion.
I asked He Kun, and more than half of them were killed by brothers from our battalion.
The fighting in the First Battalion was not intense at all.
Except for the last moment, they were suddenly killed.
Apart from a lot of casualties in the bombardment, there were no major losses at all.
It would be good to kill the 30th Japanese."
Qiu Wei said in a low voice.
It seemed that he had sent someone to inquire about the first battalion. information.
In total, about 110 Japanese people were killed in action.
This result was not small.
More than a hundred Japanese were killed.
The Japanese infantry brigade that organized the attack was not only hurt in terms of vitality, but also in physical pain.
For a while.
The number of injured Japanese soldiers was not clear, but Zhang Wei estimated that there were very few wounded soldiers.
According to the intensity of the battle just now, basically all the Japanese were killed.

Even if those who were withdrawn were injured, they were minor injuries with little impact.
Therefore, the Japanese The total casualties were estimated at more than 110 people.
The combined casualties of the preparation battalion and the first and second friendly battalions were about 270, of which the majority of the casualties of the second battalion were killed in action.
For three battalions with a strength of about a thousand men, this casualty was acceptable.
The casualty ratio between the defenders and the Japanese in the three battalions was nearly three to one
