The Japanese retreated, and the defenders of the second-line positions were also preparing their positions, and after half a day of fierce fighting, calm was restored on the battlefield again.
Fastest updates Zhang Wei completed the rest and recuperation arrangements for the heavy firepower squadron, the heavy firepower squadron returned to its original position, and the remaining three infantry squadrons remained in place and stuck to their original combat positions.
In the process of cleaning up the battlefield, Mu Chao's second squadron dragged back several nearby Japanese corpses in order to clear the shooting area, and sent them to the rear of the position together with a pile of guns and equipment.
Zhang Wei asked He Kun to deal with the corpses of the Japanese soldiers according to the old rules, the number was the same as the devils who were killed in the night attack, they were all soldiers of the first brigade of the 21st Wing, and all the weapons on the corpses were collected and rearranged.
The silence on the battlefield, the stalemate, or the confrontation, was just as Zhang Wei wished, and now the teaching brigade and the friendly forces in the second-line positions needed this time, time to prepare for the ambush plan.
Zhang Wei was in the command post, holding a pencil and an ammunition box, writing and scratching on the grass-yellow telegraph.
The people sent by Qiu Wei had just returned, and the 1st Squadron was the only infantry squadron in the teaching brigade to fire, and they fired at the Japanese during the whole battle, and the casualties were not large.
According to Qiu Wei's people, the first squadron only paid the price of five soldiers killed and seven lightly wounded, three privates, one corporal and one first class soldier died, and there were no casualties among officers and squad leaders.
It is not difficult to understand this kind of result, there were not many Japanese troops attacking the teaching brigade in the first place, and the serious infantry attacked and assaulted once, and then switched to the same place to shoot.
The Japanese army was obviously grinding foreign work, with few troops and not weak firepower, and a squad of infantry, plus two squads of heavy machine guns, and four Type 92 guns, caused little casualties to the teaching brigade.
The first squadron had well-established fortifications, and it was waiting for work at leisure, and in the face of a small group of Japanese troops, of course, it was holding a handle.
The friendly Zhou Pu battalion on the right side of the road also sent people, and it was a lieutenant and deputy company commander who came to express his gratitude to Zhang Wei for the fire support in the battle.
Because he wanted to report, Zhang Wei asked the deputy company commander Zhou Pu about the casualties of the battalion, and the deputy company commander also came prepared, and the battalion commander Zhou Pu knew that Zhang Wei had a radio in his hand, and he would definitely report the battle damage to the back, so he asked the deputy company commander to bring a list of casualties.
In this battle, the Zhou Pu battalion suffered more than 80 casualties, nearly 90 officers and men, and the infantry company guarding the front-line trenches suffered nearly half of the casualties because they experienced a relatively tragic battle of shooting and hand-to-hand combat, assault, and counterattack.
It was the infantry company of the first battalion of the 65th Regiment that suffered the largest casualties, and the rest were the casualties of other companies.
Zhang Wei wrote down this casualty figure in the telegram and reported it, and the casualty figure of the Zhou Pu battalion was said in the past, and the main offensive strength of the Japanese army was all used on the Zhou Pu battalion.
The Japanese artillery bombardment was very fierce, the casualties of the Zhou Pu battalion were less than 100 people, and the scale of the Japanese attack was at the squadron level.
Zhang Weiyao thought that in the first battle between the teaching brigade and the devils, the equipment and quality were not bad, but the first battle still suffered a lot of losses.
"The telegram is sent out, as soon as possible" "Yes" "The 65th Regiment Deng Tuanza Military Forest, the post Zhang Wei Department Teaching Brigade and the 1st Battalion of your Division, fought fiercely with the Japanese army in the second line position, the fierce battle lasted for half a day, the Japanese army failed to advance an inch, the casualties of the enemy and us were roughly equal, our brigade and the first battalion of the 65th Regiment of the battalion commander Zhou Pu suffered nearly 100 casualties, I hope the commander will send more communications, inform the construction of the rear ambush position and the delay required time, and the enemy engaged with me is indeed the Japanese army in the previous village, the number is the first brigade of the 21st Wing, around the captain of the teaching brigade of the 22nd Division, at noon on the 19th."
Zhang Wei handed the written telegram to the radio soldiers, and the first battle of the second-line position was over, and the battle situation had to be reported to the above.
This telegram was sent to Deng Junlin, commander of the 65th Regiment, who assisted the people who should have led the man and Chen Zhenhua, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 65th Regiment, to rendezvous at the predetermined ambush position.
The battle situation in the second-line position has a lot to do with the ambush position, and after the battle, it is necessary to notify Deng Junlin.
Moreover, the radio station around Zhang Wei was transferred from Deng Junlin's 65th Regiment, and the correspondence between this radio station and the teaching brigade was basically a one-line contact with the 65th Regiment.
In the past, they could still receive telegrams from the division headquarters, but now there is no news from the division headquarters at all, and the closer the Japanese troops are to the ambush site, the more frequent they must be in communication.
The telegram was received and received, and Zhang Wei had a telegram on hand that had not been received long ago, also from Colonel Deng Junlin, the commander of the 65th Regiment, and the first telegram was a notice and warning to Zhang Wei after Deng Junlin's headquarters evacuated and retreated from both sides of the road, and Zhang Wei also understood the content of it.
Another telegram was received during the battle just now, and Zhang Wei brought it back to the heavy fire squadron and saw it when he returned to the command post.
This telegram is very noteworthy, Deng Junlin is reminding Zhang Wei to pay close attention to the Japanese troops behind the Takeda Brigade of the 1st Brigade of the 21st Wing.
The Japanese troops referred to in the telegram were personally led by the commander of the 21st Wing, Miki Yoshinosuke, and after reinforced artillery, the 2nd Brigade of the 21st Wing was reinforced.
This Japanese army, the teaching brigade and Deng Junlin already knew it when they were in the village position.
At present, the Fifth Army's First Field Supplementary Regiment and Second Field Supplementary Regiment are strictly carrying out the orders of Commander Du of the Fifth Army to carry out raids and harassment battles against the second group of Japanese troops who are rushing towards Kunlun Pass.
It is true that the troops of the Fifth Army are fighting with them, but Zhang Wei and Deng Junlin, and even the Fifth Army do not know the specific number of this unit now, only the existence of this group of Japanese troops and the approximate size of the Fifth Army's guerrilla supplementary regiments on both sides of the Nanbin Highway reported.
To be honest, the size of the Japanese army reported by the supplementary regiment is no different from not reporting, only that there are cars, artillery, and machine guns.
Anything more specific, more detailed, I don't know anything.
Deng Junlin's reminder was telling Zhang Wei not to stare at the ambush target in front of him, the Takeda Brigade.
The battle was not a one-on-one one-on-one battle, it was dynamic, and the Japanese army that was farther away had to be strictly guarded, and with the firepower of the two supplementary regiments of the Fifth Army, it was very difficult to hold back the Japanese army to the death, and at best it was a delay and a blockade.
After the armistice, the two sides were on both sides of the second-line position, and the battlefield was extremely quiet except for the breeze
