Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

Shadan couldn't help but think of the thrilling scene just now, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

They fought desperately and engaged the enemy in close combat, facing the test of life and death every moment.

And now, with victory in sight, he was confused and unhappy that he was not injured.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this contradictory feeling that Shadan felt a little lost.

He longs to make greater contributions to the team, even at the cost of some pain.

However, fate always seemed to like playing jokes on him, allowing him to escape unharmed in this fierce battle.

However, Shadan soon realized that not being injured didn't mean anything.

War itself is cruel and merciless, and being able to survive is a blessing.

Perhaps it was God's blessing that gave him this lucky opportunity.

So at this moment, am I surrounded by the halo of the protagonist?

"Well, it's very likely that I will become the protagonist now?" Shadan muttered to himself.

As his thoughts gradually became clear, Shadan stood up and dusted off his body.

He no longer worried about whether he was injured or not, and the next thing to do was to clean up the battlefield.

At this time, Mingyue came with ten regiments to support, and even from further away, many local troops came to support.

If you look at all this from a bird's eye view, you can see that with Peking as the center, many support troops of the Eighth Route Army came from all directions.

When Mingyue rushed to the headquarters to report the news and told them about the situation they were facing, everyone at the headquarters became extremely anxious.

All combat units of the 115th Division were quickly mobilized to support the independent regiment.

Some may ask, why not use radio communication?

In fact, under the circumstances at that time, Shadan refused to give in.

After all, he thought he could destroy a Japanese regiment, but he didn't even think about the last division.

In a battle, there will definitely be casualties. The independent regiment has been going smoothly since the day it was founded.

I have to train them this time no matter what.

But there is a prerequisite. Shadan doesn't want Mingyue to get involved. After all, according to his understanding, Mingyue's identity seems to be an important figure among his superiors.

So I just found a random excuse and asked her to go get help.

This is also the reason why Mingyue didn't want to leave in the beginning.

"Only if you tell the headquarters about our current situation in person will they send reinforcements to support us. Do you understand?"

Just this one sentence almost exhausted Mingyue to death.

When she led ten regiments and more troops to the battlefield, she was stunned.

The entire independent regiment was seen happily picking up the rubbish. After all, an entire division's worth of equipment and supplies were picked up by more than 1000 people. Wouldn't that be fun?

But in the eyes of other team leaders, it was completely unbelievable.

Some of the team leaders looked at Mingyue with suspicion.

At the beginning, Mingyue described the situation of the Independent Regiment at the headquarters as extremely difficult, but looking at the Independent Regiment's current situation, it is not the case at all.

Especially the number of enemies is not right. Seeing the number of devils lying all over the battlefield and the richness of their equipment, "Comrade Mingyue, these don't seem to be devils from just one regiment, but at least a brigade. Are you sure it was our independent regiment that killed so many devils? When did the independent regiment become so powerful?"

Not bad. Many people came to support the Independent Regiment, and ended up seeing them defeat so many Japanese devils in one fell swoop. They were trying to show off!

The commander of the 115th Division, who had finally arrived here, looked breathlessly at the chaotic battlefield in front of him, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

He frowned and cast a suspicious look at Mingyue beside him, asking doubtfully: "Comrade Mingyue, what is going on? Could it be that you called us here just to celebrate their success and act as witnesses?"

Mingyue was also feeling confused at this moment, and she had no idea what was happening.

Especially when she saw the huge disparity in the number of corpses between the enemy and us, and the other side did not look like a Japanese regiment at all, she was even more puzzled - how did the independent regiment achieve a counterattack and turn defeat into victory?

The key point is that so many Japanese were killed again? Did the Japanese come to support them?

"I really don't know what is going on..." Mingyue murmured to herself, and at the same time fell into deep self-doubt.

She was extremely anxious and immediately ran to the side of Shadan who had collapsed on the ground, and asked anxiously: "Shadan! Tell me quickly, what happened here? How did you defeat so many devils?"

"Ah, Mingyue is back. Tell them to clean up the battlefield quickly to prevent the enemy planes from coming. Also, the brothers who come to support us should loot the equipment. This is the equipment of an entire division!"

Mingyue was stunned when she heard this.

"This is a division of Japanese devils, all buried here. Is this true or false?" Mingyue said helplessly, pointing at the scene.

"How could it be false? This is the first time in my life that I killed someone and I was so soft-hearted. If you don't believe me, ask the others?" Sha Zhu pointed at the soldiers who collapsed on the ground.

"Ah!" Mingyue opened her mouth so wide that she didn't know what to say.

The commander who came over also heard what Mingyue and Shadan said.

"A division? Really? Bragging is not a good habit!"

Shadan heard a voice nearby and looked up. Wasn't that the majestic figure coming?

He quickly stood up and saluted.

The commander just waved his hand and asked him to rest where he was.

Seeing that many members of the independent regiment were exhausted, and taking a look at the equipment in their hands, they were indeed elite.

"Did you really wipe out a division of devils?" Upon hearing the leader's question, Sha Zhu stood up again, saluted with a standard military salute and said, "Report to the leader, it was not a division of devils."

"I knew this couldn't be true. If one regiment could really wipe out an entire division of Japanese soldiers, wouldn't our Eighth Route Army have already become famous and feared by the world?" said the leader, shaking his head.

"Report to the division commander, in fact, the number of enemies we eliminated is more than that of a division..." Sha Zhu took a deep breath and said slowly.

"What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly. Please repeat it to me again!" The commander suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Sha Zhu, as if he wanted to see through him.

"We first wiped out a Japanese regiment, and then fought a life-and-death battle with a Japanese division that came to reinforce... In the end, we succeeded in annihilating them all, but at the same time we paid a heavy price - half a regiment of soldiers slept here forever..." Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and answered in a low but firm voice.

When Sha Zhu said the last sentence, his eyes couldn't help but become moist, because these brave and fearless warriors were all trained by him personally, and it could be said that he watched them grow up step by step.

Now, these comrades-in-arms who have been together day and night are sleeping forever in the ground. How can we not feel heartbroken?

"This..." The commander stared at Shadan with his eyes wide open, his lips slightly parted but no sound came out.

Once again, he was stunned by what was happening before his eyes—the ground was littered with the corpses of Japanese devils!

These were well-trained and well-equipped enemies, but now they lay lifeless on the ground.

Listening to Shadan's words, the division commander was secretly shocked by the powerful strength of the independent regiment. Such a fierce and combat-capable division is truly admirable.

Faced with such ironclad facts, no matter how unbelievable it is, we have to accept this reality: the Independent Regiment truly defeated this group of vicious invaders!

At this moment, when the division commander heard that this brave and fearless independent regiment had paid a heavy price and lost nearly half of its troops to gain this victory, he couldn't help but look at the seemingly honest and simple fool standing in front of him with admiration.

I originally thought he was just an ordinary fool who was occasionally responsible for logistics, but I didn't expect him to be such a wise and brave person. It is not easy for him to lead the troops to achieve such brilliant results. What makes people feel fortunate and gratified is that Shadan has such excellent and elite people in his hands. As long as they are trained and honed, they will become great!

He patted the fool's shoulder heavily.

"Well done, all of you! I commend you for your great achievements!"

The division commander turned around and said to the people behind him: "Everyone has seen it, this is our heroic unit! They defended the dignity of our motherland with their lives and blood!"

Everyone didn't know what was happening for a moment, but they applauded when the leader spoke, especially when they saw so many dead bodies of the Japanese soldiers, their eyes were full of admiration for the rescued independent regiment.

"This was a great battle. A mere independent regiment wiped out a division and a regiment of the Japanese. This kind of record has never been seen in the history of the Chinese army. I want to commend the independent regiment and let the Kuomintang see that our Eighth Route Army is not just a guerrilla force, but a heroic force that can also fight positional warfare, right?"

This immediately caused others to cheer, and looking at the remaining members of the independent regiment, everyone had an expression of pride on their face.

This time the applause was much louder than before.

After the battle that has been recognized by the leadership, the independent regiment will be able to achieve great success.

But more team leaders just looked at the equipment on the ground.

The Japanese have a lot of equipment for an entire division.

Rifles: approximately 13,800

Light machine guns: about 1000

Heavy machine guns: about 400

Grenade launchers: about 1200

Grenades: About 12,000

cavalry:

War horses: about 2,000 horses, but they were all turned into a pile of cooked meat, and some of the horse meat was even burned into charcoal.

Cavalry weapons: including rifles, pistols, sabers, etc.

artillery:

75mm mountain guns: about 24

75mm field guns: about 12

105mm howitzers: about 12

150mm howitzers: about 6

Anti-tank guns:

37mm anti-tank guns: about 12

Engineers:

Landmines: About 1,000

These equipments were scattered among the enemy's corpses, and the captains were dazzled by the sight. They wanted to hear their leader ask them to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.
