Chapter 886 - Help You Make a Decision (Medium)

When such a result came out, even He Shuai was a little surprised, because he didn't expect the combat effectiveness of the new division to be so strong, but what He Shuai didn't know was that this was the difference between modern warfare and World War II.

Because even if the weapons and equipment are strong, the enemy is not a burning stick in his hand, even if the firepower is not good, but it can kill you, you have to be careful, but when the modern army system is attacking, it is precisely not the weapon that is more powerful than the army of this era, although the weapon is indeed much ahead, especially the gap between the individual weapons in the hands of the soldier is simply too big.

Take suppressive firepower as an example, often three or four soldiers can shoot at least three or four machine guns together, not to mention real machine guns, these add up, the enemy has no chance to raise his head at all. But the most powerful thing is the message! Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the sky can make the enemy's important deployment and offensive deployment completely in a state of reconnaissance, after the artillery unit is directly eliminated, any gathering of the enemy's forces will be quickly bombarded by large-caliber heavy artillery, under such an attack, it is difficult for the enemy not to collapse.

It's as if there is a pair of eyes staring at them in the sky, so that they can't assemble troops at all, and the Japanese army is not strong enough to assign portable radios to every squad, and their radio system was suppressed by the electromagnetic system of the new first division at the beginning, and in the case of radio failure, it is impossible to organize an army to attack, not to mention Japan's second-class division, even Japan's first-class division is facing the same fate here.

At most, the first-class divisions collapsed a little later, and they held out a little longer, while these second-class divisions collapsed very quickly, and many times later, they were basically capturing prisoners, and the battle was over before dawn. According to preliminary statistics, in this battle, the new 1st Division annihilated 23,000 enemy personnel, of which more than 10,000 died under artillery bombardment, especially on such a night, the camp covered by large-caliber artillery was simply a disaster.

The rest of the soldiers were almost annihilated on the way to resist, the Japanese suffered a total of about 30,000 casualties, more than 21,000 prisoners, and the new division was not without casualties in this battle, the casualties of the new division were about 3,800, and less than 1,200 of them were killed, and the remaining 2,600 people were all wounded. And it has to be said that Liu Fei's massively strengthened military medical unit has played a huge role.

In the past, whether it was **** or the Eighth Route Army, the reason why the death toll in history was so high was that a considerable part of them had no medical treatment, and after the battle, they could have survived, but because of wound infection or untimely rescue, they died in the hospital. But now it is different, Liu Fei provided medical equipment on a large scale, so that these soldiers can almost survive even if they are seriously injured.

In addition, almost all the soldiers have received battlefield first aid training, so their chances of survival are greatly improved! When this casualty ratio was counted, to be honest, Liu Fei was actually a little surprised, not because there were fewer people, but because there were more casualties.

According to Liu Fei's estimate, even if the other side has nearly 50,000 defenders, and his own side only has about 20,000, the casualties should not be so high, you know, Liu Fei is using a technological gap of nearly 100 years to fight! The battle loss ratio can still reach 1:8, and this is still Japan's second-class division.

When Liu Fei arrived at the command room, Mr. Zhu's face still had an indescribable joy, "Mr. Liu, this time it was a really tough battle, and our troops are so small that the enemy, this record is estimated to shock the whole world." ”

Liu Fei shook his head and said with a serious face: "Mr. Zhu, I don't think so. ”

Originally, the chairman and Premier Zhou were also very happy, but seeing Liu Fei's expression, the chairman and they were immediately a little confused, and the chairman asked: "Mr. Liu, is there something wrong?" ”

"The casualty figure is too high." Liu Fei shook his head very dryly and said.

"High?" The chairman glanced at them, can this be called high? The Japanese suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and we suffered less than 4,000 casualties. This ......, "That, Mr. Liu, you can't be wrong, right?" ”

"Wrong? No, I'm not wrong, maybe you don't know much about it, but if you think about the comparison of the weapons of our two sides, if nothing else, let's talk about our weapons and equipment, as well as intelligence sources! There was almost no way for the enemy to make a mass build-up, there were our planes in the sky scouting, almost any massive artillery positions that the enemy tried to counterattack, or a mass build-up of soldiers, were bombarded by us. And we also paralyzed the enemy's chain of command for the first time, so that they could not give the order to retreat, these soldiers did not know where to run at all, but the casualties were still so high, according to my estimates, in this battle, regardless of how many enemies were destroyed, but our casualties did not exceed 2,000 at most. Liu Fei said quickly.

They opened their mouths...... In the end, nothing was said...... In fact, Mr. Zhu wants to say that we didn't even have a battle loss ratio before, and the numbers are still the opposite, although this has something to do with the lack of weapons and ammunition in the Eighth Route Army and the Nanjing government's army, and the non-resistance of their commanders, but the battle loss ratio of 1:tens still often appears, and now we not only reverse this battle loss ratio, but also almost reach a battle loss ratio of 1:10, which is still called a large number of casualties?

"Well, listen to Mr. Liu like this, I decided to investigate, so that our training work can have a targeted deployment." The chairman thought about it, although Liu Fei is young, his status is destined to Liu Fei will not be targeted, and after such a long time of getting along, Liu Fei is not a person without purpose, so since Liu Fei said so, there must be a reason.

Hearing the chairman say this, Mr. Zhu immediately nodded, or directly issued the order, He Shuai, who received the order, also grew his mouth in shock, he never thought that this battle report was not exchanged for a commendation, but in exchange for such an inexplicable investigation report, but this report also explained that it was not for them to investigate whether the casualties were caused by command errors, but to investigate whether there were any objective reasons for such casualties.

Although He Shuai and the chairman had the same idea at the beginning, this can be said to be an unprecedented victory! This time it was not a sneak attack, nor was it a coincidence, but a real battle, but since the chairman and they issued an order to investigate, He Shuai finally gave someone to investigate. The relevant investigation report is not very difficult, because it is very simple, just find the commander at the grassroots level and ask where the casualties are mainly concentrated.

When He Shuai got the investigation report, he didn't know what to say for a while, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with this report, so he simply forwarded the report directly to the above, and as for the rest of the matter, it was a matter of what the above said. When the report was delivered to the command hall, after Liu Fei finished reading it, Liu Fei couldn't cry or laugh. Just like Liu Fei thought, judging from the content shown in this report, the casualty figure did not need to be so high.

The reason is actually a reason that makes people laugh and cry......& That is, the officers and men on the front line are not very accustomed to the operational concept of artillery and infantry coordination, and to put it bluntly, when they encounter some strongholds that are more difficult to deal with, they do not directly call for artillery support as previously explained, but as long as they feel that they can take down the strongholds, they go up directly to do it themselves! Yes, in this way, the heroism of the army has been manifested, but the casualties have increased.

Although in the opinion of the chairman, the casualties in dealing with these strongholds are not much smaller than before, but in Liu Fei's view, these casualties are completely unnecessary casualties, and they are alive...... In fact, it is not these soldiers who want to show their bravery, but because they are afraid of their poor life! How could they have been so consumed by shells before? Don't say it's such a small stronghold! In the past, it was good for artillery to be able to fire at the enemy a few times.

Therefore, in the minds of these officers and soldiers, they still have to save artillery shells, and artillery shells are difficult to get, and under such thinking, when encountering such a small pillbox, they are naturally reluctant to call for artillery support, but directly destroy the enemy by themselves. Seeing such investigation results, to be honest, Liu Fei didn't know what to say, but he was a little sad, and if he thought about it carefully, in the past, these soldiers didn't say that they saved shells, sometimes they even had to save bullets.

Although most of these soldiers are new recruits, a significant number of them are veterans, and the idea of saving these veterans is easily passed on to these recruits. "Chairman, Mr. Zhu, to be honest, I don't know what to say about such a result, this aspect of the matter should be the result of the education of veterans and political commissars in the army, this is your business, I will not participate in it, but what I want to say is that whether it is a cannonball or a bullet, it can be made! As long as it can be made, then it is better to consume 10 tons of ammunition than to sacrifice a soldier. ”

"The death of every soldier represents the breakdown of a family, the grief of a family, I do not encourage soldiers to carry out these personal heroic suicide attacks, if it was before, in order to defeat the enemy, plus our own limited weapons resources, we do this, it is understandable, but now, we are not short of weapons and ammunition, then I think ...... Every soldier saved means that we have saved a family, a son, a husband, a father! Liu Fei said with a heavy face.
