Chapter 343 Li Lei, it's amazing

Tiger Boy pondered the casualty figures of the Japanese Eleventh Army.

The more I think about it, the more exciting it becomes.

Such a great victory has not been passed for a long time.

In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the Japanese army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, which was already a great victory after a long time.

In this Battle of Changsha, he directly let the Japanese Eleventh Army lose half.

Such a victory is unprecedented.

When several of the troops involved in the siege of the Uemura detachment sent him a telegram, he was in a trance.

To be honest, he didn't expect victory to come so quickly.

Because the situation in the first two days was not good, even severe.

The occupation of the camp by the Uemura detachment made him angry.

For this, the old bald head has even decided to give up Changsha.

But in the blink of an eye, they actually killed the Uemura detachment and forced Okamura Ninji to withdraw his troops!

The reversal is too big!

For a moment, he couldn't react.

At this time, the entire headquarters was already drowned out by cheers.

A lot of people cried with excitement.

Even his chief of staff, Elder Wu, clapped his hands excitedly.

It's all grinning to the back of the head.

Since the beginning of this war, there has been tension every day.

I don't know when the Japanese army will enter Changsha City.

That kind of pressure is unprecedented.

Now that Okamura Ninji has withdrawn his troops, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, Tiger Boy knew that the reason why he was able to save the situation this time and eat the Uemura detachment in one fell swoop, forcing Okamura Ninji to withdraw his troops.

The greatest credit is Li Lei and his new brigade.

If it weren't for Li Lei's reoccupation of Yingtian and his prediction of heavy rain after the solar eclipse, he would not have made up his mind to eat the Uemura detachment.

There was also the New Fourth Army, which blew up the Japanese supply depots, leaving Okamura Ninji's troops facing serious supply difficulties.

All this became a favorable condition for forcing Okamura Ninji to withdraw his troops.

According to the telegram of the 70th Army, Li Lei's new 1st Brigade was the most now engaged in battle.

In order to prevent the Kamimura detachment from occupying the camp, almost all the shells were exhausted.

Their first line of defense was also occupied by the Kamimura detachment for a time.

The battle was fierce.

The commander of the 70th Army told Tiger Tsai in a telegram that Li Lei's new 1st Brigade may suffer very heavy casualties this time.

The main offensive target of the entire Shangcun detachment was the camp where Li Lei's new brigade was stationed.

The Uemura detachment is so strong in combat and outnumbered.

Li Lei's new 1st Brigade has no superiority in the number of troops, and it will definitely suffer a big loss.

This time, if it weren't for Li Lei's new brigade desperately defending the camp, the Shangcun detachment would have run away.

And the commander of the 70th Army said a big truth, if his 70th Army was allowed to defend the camp, it would definitely not be able to withstand such a fierce attack by the Shangcun detachment.

In order to break through, the Uemura detachment never stopped attacking Yingtian.

Wave after wave.

The devils flocked to the positions of the new 1st Brigade like a tidal wave.

That kind of scene really makes people sweat.

The tiger boy who read this telegram was teary-eyed.

Li Lei, the hero of the country!

In order to fight against the Japanese invaders, Li Lei was able to put aside the differences between the two armies and devote himself to the battle.

With this mind, he is ashamed of himself.

Look at the group of people in Chongqing, many of them have their own little abacus.

Any idea they give the old bald head has its own interests in it.

It's not for the sake of war exploits, but for the sake of preserving strength.

The reason why he was able to mobilize so many troops this time was that the whole army was united.

What's more, it's because of the army brought this time, most of which are descendants of old bald heads.

There are also the Hunan army and the Sichuan army.

Plus the New Fourth Army.

It was precisely because the generals of these troops fought against Japan wholeheartedly that they won the battle against Okamura Ninji.

Tiger Boy immediately sent a telegram to Li Lei, asking about the casualties of his new 1st Brigade.

After seeing the telegram from the tiger boy, Li Lei told Zhao Gang how to write it.

You must tell Tiger Boy that in order to kill the Kamimura detachment, our new brigade has paid huge casualties.

Only in this way, when we ask Tiger Boy for ammunition, he will give us more.

Moreover, now our new brigade has indeed suffered a lot of casualties.

For the next battle, our new brigade has to recruit troops.

The Hunan army in Hunan is notoriously capable of fighting.

Looking at the current national army, there are many people in Hunan.

Whether it is an officer or an ordinary soldier, you can see the shadow of Hunan people.

Our new brigade now needs to be replenished.

Recruiting men from Hunan will definitely be beneficial to the combat effectiveness of the troops.

But Hunan is the territory of other people's tiger cubs.

We are not a national army, and if we want to recruit troops from here, we have to nod from other tigers.

Therefore, we must write our new brigade a little more tragically.

"Our new brigade, what are the real casualties?" Li Lei asked Zhao Gang.

"According to recent statistics, our new 1st Brigade has lost 1,132 casualties, 501 seriously wounded, and 1,057 lightly injured so far."

Not a lot!

In this case, the casualties of the new 1st Brigade will add up to almost 3,000 people!

The entire new brigade has only about 10,000 people.

Three thousand casualties is a lot of money.

"All the soldiers who died are registered, and not a single one is left out. These are our heroes.

All of them are veterans from Shanxi!

After they returned, they were found in their homes one by one according to their names, and pensions were paid.

Our soldiers have died, their families, our troops have raised! ”

Li Lei's words moved everyone present.

During the war years, too many people died.

Many of the fighters died quietly.

It's easy to say that there is a name, at least there can be a monument.

Many fighters didn't even have a name left in the end.

Whether it was the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, or the National Army, in the process of fighting with the Japanese army, a large number of soldiers were sacrificed.

Victory in any war is won by the lives of these ordinary soldiers.

Li Lei can't control other troops, but in his new brigade, no soldier should let them chill.

They died for the country and were the heroes of the nation.

Their families should be supported by themselves.

This time, his new brigade has made such a great contribution.

I Li Lei has no other requirements.

The first is to replenish my ammunition and soldiers, and the second is to ask the tiger boy to ask the old bald man for money and give him a pension.

Zhao Gang drafted a telegram according to Li Lei's intentions, and his words were tragic, and Li Lei was stunned when he saw it.

The political commissar is worthy of being a great talent, and this telegram is absolutely written.

However, Li Lei still had a few figures.

Among them, the number of casualties was changed from 3,000 to 6,000.

In this way, the family of each martyr will be able to share a little more in the pension.

When people die, let the old bald head pay more money, it should be.

The tiger boy who received Li Lei's telegram turned pale and his face sank, and the number of casualties given by Li Lei to his troops was not small.

He estimated that what Li Lei reported should be right.

After all, Li Lei's new brigade has fought a lot of vicious battles during this time.

The Nanshan Battle, the annihilation of the three Japanese wings, the Wanjialing Campaign, the encirclement of the Japanese Sixth Division, and the Yingtian Battle were the focus of the attack of the Shangcun detachment.

It is normal for such casualties to occur.

Even, the casualties of Li Lei's new 1st Brigade have exceeded Tiger Boy's expectations.

In the eyes of Tiger Boy, Li Lei's new brigade will only have greater casualties than this number.

Li Lei's troops have always been used by his tiger boy as the main force.

Think about the 60th Army, the 70th Army, and even the 8th Army, the casualties were much greater than Li Lei's new 1st Brigade.

Many divisions have been completely disabled.

It's very good that Li Lei's new First Brigade can still remain so intact.

Through the telegram, the tiger boy could see what Li Lei meant.

The meaning is obvious, and now the battle of Changsha is over.

His new brigade, the casualties, must give some explanation, right?

The troops of the national army have a death pension after casualties.

However, Li Lei's new 1st Brigade was not included in the establishment. When Chongqing issued pensions, Li Lei's troops would not be counted.

This matter needs to be coordinated by him.

Li Lei suffered heavy casualties for this Changsha battle, and if there is no explanation, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.

Tiger Tsai asked Chief of Staff Wu to call Chongqing immediately, and he had to explain this matter to the old bald head in person.

Chief of Staff Wu also felt that this matter must be handled well, otherwise the impact would be too bad.

After answering the phone, there was the laughter of the old bald man: "Tiger boy, you commanded very well in this Changsha battle." I'm so relieved!

I'm going to have a press conference soon, do you have anything to say? ”

Tiger Boy took a deep breath: "Commission, I'm here to ask for money." ”

The old bald head was stunned, huh?

Want money?

What kind of money do you want?

Why are you Tiger Boy talking to me about money?

Vulgar!

"Tiger Boy, what? Did you encounter any difficulties? ”

Tiger Boy said: "Don't hide it, in this Changsha battle, Li Lei's troops have made great contributions, and the casualties are very heavy. However, because their troops are not in the battle sequence of the national army, the soldiers who died in their troops cannot receive pensions.

I think, is this matter of concern to the committee?

After all, it's all about the war of resistance. ”

When the old bald man heard the tiger boy say this, he instinctively wanted to scold people.

But on second thought, if this matter is handled well, it can be a very good publicity deed.

Let the outside world also see, I am old and bald, and I am not a stingy person.

This will help a lot to boost his prestige.

So the old bald man said happily to the tiger boy: "Tiger boy, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have already given an order that the troops participating in this war, as long as there are casualties, we will pay pensions."

Li Lei's troops are naturally also among the distributions.

You can rest assured. ”

The tiger boy froze for a moment.

This time, the old bald head is very easy to talk to.

Since this is the case, then he does not have to worry: "I thank you for the sacrifices of the warriors. ”

The old bald head said emotionally: "Those soldiers who died in battle are our heroes, tiger boy, you will sprinkle a bowl of wine on behalf of me and the fallen soldiers." ”

The tiger boy stood up straight: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring it." ”
