The army commander quietly pondered the speculation of the deputy chief of staff, his brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed.

I have to admit that if the judgment of the deputy chief of staff is true, then the problems that plague my mind will be solved.

There's a saying called preconceivence.

The commander of the army was in a hurry to solve the problems in his head, and the judgment of the deputy chief of staff could explain them exactly.

Thinking about it, I began to recognize this judgment.

Then he replied, "Your analysis is not unreasonable, but there is no evidence to support your judgment." ”

"Once again, I gave an order to the intelligence department and the garrisons of the surrounding counties: the intelligence officers, the reconnaissance troops, must go deep into the battlefield in the shortest possible time to find out what is really going on there."

At six o'clock in the evening, as soon as it was dark, more than a thousand soldiers began to eat dinner.

After a day's rest, the tiredness on everyone's faces has obviously dissipated.

Although the physical strength has not fully recovered, as long as you eat well and are full at night, you will definitely be fine with a thirty-kilometer march.

Li Hao has already calculated, and the ambush battle will be fought in two days. During these two days, except for marching at night and building positions, they could rest during the day.

By the time the battle begins, the fighters will definitely have enough physical strength and energy.

At the headquarters of the Lingqiu Garrison Regiment, political commissar Wang Hong's expression was very solemn.

This state has been going on for several days.

Every day at dawn, as soon as he entered the headquarters, the staff officer on duty would send a pile of casualty reports.

For the next whole day, every hour the command received a telegram, all from the three separate battalions on the front, the content without exception, all of which were where the Japanese attacked again today? , burned several villages, how many people were killed and wounded by the troops while protecting the people......

At six o'clock in the evening, several staff officers of the command headquarters were lying on the table to sort out the losses of the troops in the past few days.

Half an hour later, a staff officer came over with a serious expression: "Political commissar, the losses have been counted!" ”

"In the past few days when the Japanese puppet army entered the base area, a total of 258 villages and towns of all sizes have been burned down, and the only fortunate thing is that the casualties of the common people are not large, and only 398 villagers have been killed and captured by the devils because of the slow transfer speed or other reasons."

"The main forces, guerrillas, local troops, and three independent battalions lost a total of 4,365 people, 1,086 people were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness, and they were not in the line of fire with minor injuries, and continued to participate in the battle after simple treatment."

"He Jun, commander of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion, reported: He still has 1,359 troops in his hands."

"Zhang Yun, commander of the Guangling Independent Battalion, reported: He still has 1,853 people in his hands."

"Zhao Wen, commander of the Laiyuan Independent Battalion, reported: He still has 1,683 people in his hands!"

"The loss of equipment is more than forty percent, and the troops are still enough for the time being by fighting to feed the war."

"Ordinary ammunition is still enough, but there are fewer shells, I hope the regiment can replenish some for them."

Wang Hong frowned and asked, "Something is wrong?" ”

"Judging by the number of casualties, they have lost more than 5,000 people."

"Now there are nearly 5,000 people who can fight, adding up to 10,000 people, if I remember correctly, before the start of the counter-sweep, the three independent battalions, the three main battalions left behind the troops, the recruit battalion, the baggage battalion, the local troops that cooperate with them, and the guerrillas, all add up to less than 7,000 people, is it possible that the difference of the remaining 3,000 people are all prisoners mobilized by them?"

The staff officer nodded and replied: "That's true, otherwise our troops would have been wiped out long ago." ”

After glancing at the statistics in his hand, he continued to report: "The Japanese puppet army has a total of more than 22,000 sweep troops that have entered our base area, and the troops are divided into three routes, each with more than 7,000 people, minus the specially reinforced artillery and cavalry units, and the remaining Japanese puppet army is half each, commanded by a large commander of the wing. ”

"In the past few days, six transport teams have entered the base area."

"Some were wiped out by us, and most of the convoys successfully killed the front line to replenish the sweeping troops."

"More than 4,000 people in all."

"Therefore, there are more than 26,000 Japanese puppet troops who have entered our base area."

"So far, there are still 17,000 people left in the three-way sweeping troops, with direct losses of more than 9,000 people, nearly 4,000 Japanese troops, and more than 5,000 puppet troops."

"Most of the puppet army was captured, there were nearly 4,000 people, and after mobilization, more than 3,000 people joined our Eighth Route Army to directly replenish the troops and greatly make up for the loss of our army's troops on the battlefield."

It would have been a happy thing to have 3,000 more soldiers for no reason, but Wang Hong couldn't laugh at all.

has been a political commissar in the garrison regiment for so long, and under the influence of Li Hao, every time he calculates the casualty ratio of the troops, he automatically omits the puppet army.

In Li Hao's words: One soldier in the garrison regiment can't exchange the lives of ten puppet soldiers.

Minus the puppet army, it is equivalent to the garrison regiment directly losing more than 5,000 people to kill less than 4,000 little devils, and even the casualty ratio of one to one has not been reached.

If such a result is reported to the regiment commander, it will definitely be criticized.

For Wang Hong, being criticized is not a big deal, the only thing that can't be let go is that the garrison regiment has paid too much price for this anti-sweep.

If it continues to hold on so hard, the garrison will definitely be defeated.

The more Wang Hong thought about it, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and the atmosphere at the headquarters became more and more depressed.

"Political commissar, head of the regiment urgently call!" The operator burst in suddenly, with a smile on his face.

Wang Hong glanced at him, thought of the secret mission that the regiment commander was performing, immediately understood something, and asked with anticipation on his face.

"Is the regimental commander successful?"

The operator nodded hurriedly and happily replied,

"Not only did it succeed, but the real results were much greater than planned!"

"The regiment commander took down the county seat the night before yesterday, and in order to keep it secret and further expand the results of the battle, he did not inform us of the good news for the time being."

"Last night, the regiment commander and the Independent Regiment completely annihilated more than 2,000 reinforcements from Zhangjiakou."

"Until now, the news of our occupation of the county has not been leaked."

"The regimental commander specifically explained in the telegram: without his order, this good news cannot be spread."

"In addition, there are several orders in the telegram that you need to carry out, the commissar."

Wang Hong took the telegram with surprise, and the smile on his face became even stronger after reading it.

From these orders, he could already see a larger battle plan of the regiment commander.

If the battle is won, the garrison regiment will definitely gain unprecedented huge benefits, and it can also win at least half a year's rest time for the garrison regiment.

Forcibly suppressed the excitement, looked at the operator and asked with a serious face.

"Who else has read this telegram but you and me."

"No one else." The operator shook his head in reply.

"Good." The commissar replied: "You already know the order of the regiment commander, and you must know what to do." ”

"I repeat, the contents of the telegram cannot be told to anyone without my orders."

"Also, from now on, you will send and receive all the telegrams that communicate with the regimental commander."

"I'll write a few telegrams now, and you send them out yourself, and you can't let anyone interfere."
