At the headquarters of the 786th Regiment, a group of company and battalion commanders gathered together to discuss the incredible battles of the previous days.

In the face of two brigades of devils, a puppet army of more than 300 Rao, the 786th regiment ended in a complete victory, such an ending made everyone feel incredible until now, this battle process is really incredible.

"This battle is a big victory"

"An unprecedented victory"

The head of the regiment first made a concluding speech, his tone was high, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.

"In this operation, there were more than 500 devils in our regiment, more than 300 puppet soldiers were captured, and more than 600 guns, 5 machine guns, and 2,000 bullets were captured."

Annihilating the two word regiment commanders bit extremely hard, obviously destroying more than 500 devils is an unprecedented victory, especially for a newly formed backbone regiment, this is an almost impossible task.

As for the subsequent seizures, the regiment commander casually brought them.

The capture in the battle has been far lower than the consumption, even if it is the previous battle of the Eighth Route Army, it has been unable to make ends meet, after all, the fierce battle has a great loss of weapons, and the enemy will deliberately damage the weapons when they escape, and now the 786 regiment even after a big battle, the warehouse is full, and it does not care about this capture at all.

"And our regiment, 128 killed and 107 wounded"

There are casualties in battle, and the casualties of comrades-in-arms are always sad, but at this time the tone of the regiment commander was extremely excited.

In the past, every time I fought with the devils, that time it was not several times the casualties of the devils, in the face of the devils with superior firepower and training advantages, the Eighth Route Army could only rely on human lives to win the battle, and this time not only the casualties were far greater than the devils, but also played a three-to-one casualty rate.

This was unimaginable before.

"Haha, devils are nothing more than that."

"The devils in Yuan County have also suffered heavy casualties, and they will definitely not dare to go out of the city now"

"Sure enough, when there are enough weapons and ammunition, the battle is different."

“····”

In the face of the final results, the company commanders opened their mouths one after another.

The regiment commander glanced around, although it was not appropriate to shout loudly during the meeting, but he did not stop the company battalion commanders from being happy, after all, he was excited for a long time last night for such a big victory, and finally relied on a few bottles of wine brought by the second fat man to sleep.

Thinking of the second fat man, he subconsciously glanced at the position of the previous transport captain, just yesterday, not long after the battle ended, the new transport captain couldn't wait to take the transport team to an independent group, and this time plus the captured devil mules and horses, the transport team brought three hundred and fifty mules.

The noise in the conference room calmed down for a long time, and everyone looked at the head of the group, waiting for him to continue speaking.

"In addition, we have seized 100 tons of various grain materials this time, half of which is kept by the regimental headquarters, and the rest is distributed to the people in difficulty around us, especially the families of the comrades who died this time."

Looking at the statistical table in his hand, the regiment commander continued.

Some of these food supplies were captured from the convoy, and a large part was collected from the stronghold of the devil Luozhuang, and after defeating the Luozhuang devil, they rushed into Luozhuang for a while.

Although the 786th Regiment is not short of food now, it always does not hurt to have more food, and it can also support the people nearby.

"However, this battle also exposed a lot of problems"

After counting some other sporadic supplies, after a pause, the regiment commander's face changed, and his tone became serious, and many company and battalion commanders also listened with solemn faces, and they could not only be optimistic about the side at any time, this is the attitude of every officer towards every battle, and it is also the attitude of every outstanding officer of the Eighth Route Army towards battle.

"First of all, the most serious problem is the serious lack of training"

"Marksmanship, tactical maneuvers, trenches and bunker construction, many soldiers do very poorly, and they must strengthen their training in this area when they go back"

"Secondly, many comrades have very problematic attitudes towards combat"

"Although there are very few pure recruits in our regiment, most of them are transferred from the guerrillas, relying on their own experience in fighting devils, one by one they think they are masters, and they are still applying the attitude of the previous sparrow warfare and running away with one shot on the battlefield."

"In this battle, the vast majority of the comrades who died were these guys, and after I went back, I trained them fiercely, one by one, without the caution of recruits, and without the sophistication of veterans, and gave me arrogance on the battlefield."

The regiment commander knocked on the table fiercely, and the battalion commanders were also gloomy, this question was cut in their eyes and hurt in their hearts, if all the people who participated in the battle this time were veterans, then the casualties would definitely drop by half.

The regimental commander paused and continued.

"Secondly, we must pay close attention to artillery training, this battle can be a big victory, especially to block the devil who was supported by the original county, in addition to the devil's carelessness, mortar firepower is very important"

"But in the battle, in fact, the accuracy of artillery shelling needs to be strengthened"

"The gunners of each company are gathered in the artillery company to organize training, and they can carry out live-fire training as appropriate, after all, artillery is only effective when it hits the enemy."

When: Mid-August

Location: 119th Division Headquarters.

Individual regiment commanders, brigade commanders gathered in the conference room.

"The battles organized recently have had great results"

The division commander immediately stood at the front of the conference room table, pointing to the map with a tone of arrogance.

"The 11 regiments of our division organized a total of 22 battles, and eliminated more than 4,000 devils and 3,000 puppet soldiers, expanding the base area several times, and the mass base was even better."

Then he pointed to the map and drew a long line, starting from the headquarters of the 119th Division to the independent regiment.

"From the original county, the Japanese troops in the surrounding seventeen counties and towns have been devastated, and the road from the division headquarters to the independent regiment has been temporarily in our hands, which also means that we no longer need to take rugged mountain roads to transport supplies from the independent regiment, and can directly take the road."

At this point, the division commander's tone became a little more serious.

"However, although our strength has increased greatly recently, and there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition, due to heavy firepower and training factors, we do not yet have the ability to fight the devils on a large scale head-on, and once the devils attack with heavy troops, then the road will inevitably be lost."

The division commander knows very well in his heart, don't look at the current 119th Division blooming on all fronts, but this is because the devils are all second- and third-line devils, and the Eighth Route Army, which has an advantage in mountain warfare and light weapons, is easy to win, once the devils send heavy divisions, especially under the cover of heavy artillery and aircraft, to participate in the battle, then the current 119th Division may not be able to parry.

"Everyone, hurry up and transport supplies from the independent regiment"
