“。。。。。 4,167 were killed, 669 were seriously wounded, 2,369 were lightly wounded, and 37 guns of caliber or above 75mm were lost。。。。。 ”

More than 7,000 people were killed and wounded, which meant that most of the brigade was considered useless.

You must know that since the 16th Division landed in Shanghai, it has not suffered such a big loss, and in the previous battle, 100 people were killed and wounded, and at most nearly 1,000 people were killed or wounded.

And this time, more than 7,000 people were killed and wounded, and more than 4,000 people died in the battle alone.

These are all elites!

Having lost so many elites, what to do with the battle later?

Therefore, the battle report reported by Gui Yongqing to the Wuhan Command was not small, and the number of enemy killed was directly multiplied by three, and in fact, the total casualties of the Japanese army were only 7,000.

In addition, the casualties of the Chinese army were less than 3,000, to be precise, more than 6,000, but the number of war dead was only more than 2,900, which was the last count of the number of corpses of Chinese soldiers on the battlefield by the Japanese army.

With more than 6,000 casualties and more than 7,000 casualties, it can be said that the attack was very successful, and the battle loss ratio was 1 to 1.

This has been a very good battle since 918.

Under normal circumstances, the battle loss ratio is 2 to 1, 3 to 1, and even 5 to 1 and 10 to 1.

Because of the military quality and weapons and equipment of the soldiers, when facing the Japanese army, the Chinese army was born with some losses, and this was unavoidable.

Because this operation was a night attack, the Japanese army's defense was somewhat lax, and the Chinese army took the opportunity to inflict heavy losses.

"Yaga, idiot! A bunch of idiots! ”

After seeing this battle report, Nakajima Imago scolded directly at the brigade headquarters of the 19th Brigade, whether it was Kusaba Tatsumi or Sasaki Toichi who came from behind, they all became the object of his scolding.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we have suffered so many casualties because the people of China have attacked our field hospital, and many wounded Imperial warriors have gone to Kudanzaka in their dreams." Kusaba explained.

"It's all an excuse, why are so many people in China able to get close to your position? Why didn't your soldiers send out a police call? Nakajima asked.

"This...

Kusaba Tatsumi was also a little speechless.

Indeed, if his soldiers had been well defended, it would have been impossible for the Chinese army to get in.

Even if it were a sneak attack, the casualties would not be so large.

But this time, the Chinese army touched the field hospital in the hinterland, and when he sent the army to reinforce, the main force of the Chinese army launched an attack on his brigade headquarters, which made him take advantage of the loophole by the Chinese army.

At this time, a Nakasa walked in, saw Nakajima Imasa and the others at the brigade headquarters, and hurriedly gave a military salute, and then came to Sasaki to Ichi's ear and muttered a few words, the latter's face instantly became serious, and then waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.

"Brigade Commander Sasaki, is there anything wrong with you?" Nakajima Imago doesn't have a good airway.

"Hey!" Sasaki put his hands on the seams of his trousers and saluted Nakajima Imasa, "Your Excellency the Commander of the Qi Division, my people have found something, which may be related to the reason for the sneak attack of the 19th Brigade, and I hope that Your Excellency the Division Commander will move." ”

"Nani?" Nakajima Imago was a little puzzled, looked at Sasaki to one, and then at Kusaba Tatsuki, and finally chose to look at the so-called thing.

"Sasaki-kun?"

When Nakajima Imago walked out of the gate of the brigade headquarters, Kusaba Tatsumi hurriedly stepped forward to ask Sasaki Toichi, who smiled slightly, "Kusaba-kun will know if he follows." ”

Filled with curiosity, Kusaba Tatsumi followed Sasaki and the others to a clearing outside the brigade headquarters, where the corpses of five columns of Japanese soldiers were neatly placed, but they were all covered with white cloths.

"Brigade Commander Sasaki, what do you want to show me? Just look at the remains of these imperial warriors? Nakajima's face was a little unpleasant.

This is also normal, this time the loss is so big, I don't know how Prince Hatohiko of Asaka Palace will scold him, even if it is the ninth division, it is not as big as his own loss.

In one battle, more than 7,000 people were killed and wounded, and more than half of the battle were killed, and most of the artillery of the artillery wing was destroyed.

The only thing I am glad about is that the heavy artillery brigade is fine, otherwise it is a question whether Nakajima Isago can continue to serve as the commander of the division.

He was still thinking about how to report this matter to his superiors, and it was estimated that he would have to peel off his skin!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, don't worry, please look at the reason for the death of these imperial warriors!"

As he spoke, Sasaki asked the soldiers below to uncover the white cloth of several Japanese corpses nearby.

After the white cloth was uncovered, Kusaba Tatsumi was stunned, and Nakajima Imago didn't understand what it meant.

"What does that mean?"

Kusaba Tatsumi was surprised, "These soldiers didn't die from bullets or explosions, they didn't have much blood on their bodies, what happened?" ”

Sasaki moved the corpse of one of the soldiers away, and everyone saw that the soldier had an obvious wound on his neck, the wound was very deep, and it seemed that the fatal wound was in the wound.

Kusaba Tatsumi realized something, and hurriedly squatted down to uncover the white cloth of the nearest corpses, and after seeing the cause of death of these soldiers, he was stunned.

The cause of death of these soldiers all had one thing in common, that is, the fatal injuries were not gunshot wounds or anything like that.

Many of the wounds are on the neck or chest. Some were slashed in the throat by a sharp blade, some were killed by a sharp blade stuck in the chest, and some were violently twisted in the neck.

"Why are they all dead from this similar cause? Who are they? "Nakajima Isago is a little confused.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, these are the sentinels of the 19th Brigade on the periphery, and according to the analysis of their wounds, they were all solved by the silent people of the Zhina.

Since there was no gunfire, the 19 Brigade did not know that there was a problem with the outposts on the perimeter. It was precisely because these sentinels were secretly dealt with that the 19 Brigade was touched by the Chinese army.

It seems that there are some capable people in the Zhina people, and the Zhina people are rich in land and resources, and there are many capable people, and it seems that we underestimated the Zhina people before. Sasaki said with a somewhat solemn expression.

Nakajima nodded his head, also thinking that what the other party said made sense.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it was my dereliction of duty that caused such a great loss." After realizing the cause of the problem, Kusaba Tatsumi hurriedly stood up and asked for sin.

"Hmph, the 16th Division has not suffered such a big loss since it landed in China. It's useless for you to ask me for guilt, you still have to think about how you want to explain to Prince Hatohiko of Xianggong, you can't hide this matter! ”

This matter must not be hidden, the loss is too great, and the movement is still so big, how can it be hidden.

And the artillery wing of the 16th Division was almost completely destroyed by it, which needs to be replenished, and without the consent of the Dispatch Corps Command, how can it be replenished?

But what are you afraid of!

A Nakasa came to Nakajima and reported to him, "Your Excellency the division commander, send an urgent telegram to the army headquarters, Prince Hatohiko Asakanomiya asked Your Excellency to take the commander of the grassland brigade to the headquarters!" ”
