A day passed quickly.

If you count last night, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army have been fighting around Heyuan County for a whole day and night.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, after nightfall today, the two sides unanimously chose a temporary truce, treating the wounded on the one hand, and cremating the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers on the other.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, Kazuo Okamoto could clearly see that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army carried one corpse after another to the neatly stacked dry pyre.

This time, Kazuo Okamoto carefully counted.

There were more than a thousand corpses that were carried to the dry pyre by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!

This is only one direction of the east gate, if you count the other three city gates, as well as the blocking position of the independent regiment, then the number of casualties of the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army will definitely exceed 5,000!

And that's just the number of killed, the number of wounded is only a lot more!

This also means that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has lost at least nearly half of its combat effectiveness!

At that moment, Kazuo Okamoto turned on the radio station again and sent out the telegram that had been translated into dots.

……

Heyuan County, outside the East Gate.

Wang Yan and Guan Dashan are getting together to smoke simple "Huazi".

The best Huazi and high-quality Huazi are used to "earn foreign exchange", and the commanders and fighters of the independent regiment have not been able to draw them, and even the regiment commander Li Yunlong can't draw them.

But the simple Huazi tube is enough.

Cadres above the platoon level of the independent regiment can each get a pack of simple Chinese children every day, which can also be regarded as welfare.

Of course, Wang Yan basically doesn't smoke much, and even if he does, he just pretends to be in order to mingle with the majority of commanders and fighters, so as not to be out of place with others.

Guan Dashan leisurely spit out the smoke ring and said: "Lao Wang, more than a thousand people died in one day and night, this is just a position outside the east gate, is it a little too scary?" ”

"After all, we're besieged from all sides."

"No, in addition to the siege on all sides, there are also blocking positions."

"There is a way that is too much, will too many dead people arouse the suspicion of devils?"

Wang Yan said: "There is such a possibility, but even if the devil is suspicious, he would never have thought that we would work with the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army to calculate them, but would only think that we were deceiving the 358th Regiment." ”

"Think we're cheating the 358th regiment?" Guan Dashan said, "How do you say this?" ”

"It's called preconceivence." Wang Yan said, "Once the devils decide that we have turned against Jin Suijun, then all their subsequent thinking will be based on this premise." ”

"According to normal human thinking, it is difficult for devils to jump out of this premise."

"Therefore, the devil will only find the answer under the premise that we have turned against Jin Suijun."

"It has nothing to do with whether you are smart or not, human beings, it is very difficult to get out of the mindset."

While the two were talking, two more warriors walked over carrying a "corpse".

Guan Dashan couldn't help but reprimand: "Dog, can you fucking have a snack?" You're carrying a corpse now, a corpse of a hundred pounds! ”

"Can the fuck not be so easy?"

"How easy it is to carry a corpse of more than 100 catties?"

"Also, why don't you sprinkle some chicken blood on the corpse?"

"There's no damn blood at all, how did you die? Was killed by Jin Sui's military fart? ”

The warrior named Dog frowned and looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and he looked desperately holding back.

……

Ping'an County, the headquarters of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army.

After listening to Ryoichi Yamamoto finish reading the telegram, the entire war room fell silent.

After a long time, a combat staff officer whispered: "This casualty figure is a bit large." ”

"The casualty figure is indeed a bit exaggerated." Inoue said, "Although the Eighth Route Army has always been heroic, there are often cases of bloody battles to the end and the entire organization being killed on the battlefield, but that happens more often when fighting and blocking, and its intention is to cover the breakthrough of large troops, but there are almost no such examples in offensive battles." ”

"So, there must be deception in the middle!" Operational staff officer Higashi Fujio said.

"There must be fraud?" Inoue said, "Higashifuji-kun, speak more carefully. ”

"Hello." "Just as you just said the division commander, the Eighth Route Army will only fight to the last man in a blocking battle, and it is almost impossible for such a situation to occur in an offensive battle. ”

"This can only show that the Eighth Route Army's move is clearly a tactical deception."

"The Eighth Route Army wants to confuse the judgment of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army in this way."

"And then guide the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army to make a wrong decision and launch a counteroffensive in advance."

"Once the Jin Sui army is in the middle of the plan and counterattacks in advance, then the offensive and defensive momentum of the Battle of Heyuan will be reversed."

"The independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army will change from a tough battle to a defensive battle, so that the difficulty will be greatly reduced."

Inoue Sadae and Yamamoto Ryoichi glanced at each other and said with emotion: "Li Yunlong, this guy is really cunning!" Such a conspiracy can be imagined. ”

Ryoichi Yamamoto thought so: "That's why we have repeatedly suffered losses from the Independent Regiment before." ”

Inoue Sadawei continued: "However, there is another possibility, that is, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army have entered a state of non-death, so there are indeed such huge casualties. ”

"Division Commander Mingjian, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Higashi Fuji nodded and said, "If the number of casualties of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is basically the same, it means that the number of casualties of the Independent Regiment is indeed so much, and it is not some trick, I just don't know what the number of casualties of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is?" ”

Ryoichi Yamamoto said: "Because the intelligence officers lurking in Heyuan County have never been able to send the news, and Okamoto-kun's observation point has not been able to observe the situation in Heyuan County, it is not clear that the number of casualties of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is not known. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know the number of Jin Suijun's casualties." Inoue Zhenwei said, "Just look at the reaction of the Jin Sui Army tonight or tomorrow, if the Jin Sui Army chooses to continue to defend to the death, it means that the number of casualties of the 358 Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is about the same as that of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, if the 358 Regiment of the Jin Sui Army chooses to counterattack, it means that the number of casualties of the 358 Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is far less than that of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, that is to say, this is Li Yunlong's trick." ”

Ryoichi Yamamoto and Higashi Fujio paused at the same time and said, "The division commander is wise. ”

After a pause, Ryoichi Yamamoto said again: "Division commander, can the 59th Infantry Brigade go forward?" ”

"There's no hurry." Inoue Zhenwei waved his hand and said, "Although the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the 358th regiment of the Jin Sui Army have already killed the red eye, even if they know that the imperial army is sending troops, it is impossible to shake hands and make peace, but since the two of them still have the idea of fighting again, then why should we rush to stop them?" ”
