Everyone was facing the same Eighth Route Army, and the tactics and tactics used were similar, and they lost more than 300 imperial troops by giving up all the seriously wounded of the Imperial Army, and they did not give up the seriously wounded of the Imperial Army, and the marching speed was slow, and the losses were only a lot more than they must have been.

Of course, if something unexpected happens, it will definitely be different.

Saburo Nakata continued to stare at the road, trying to make sure of his judgment.

"Captain, they carried at least three hundred stretchers!" The vice-captain said as he observed.

There was a clear hint of surprise in the words.

Under normal circumstances, the seriously wounded should be half of the soldiers killed in battle, and the seriously wounded should not be less than three hundred, and the number of soldiers killed in battle must be more than seven hundred.

In this way, their casualties were no less than those of the Nakata brigade.

The only thing to worry about now is whether they have captured the hostages, and if not, the battle losses of the two striking troops will be half a pound and eight taels, which is not much different.

In the absence of the law, the Wing Commander will certainly not hold the Nakata Brigade accountable for not completing its mission today.

Under the nervous gaze of the two people, the troops of the Royal Highness finally entered everyone's field of vision.

"No hostages!" The vice-captain shouted, and his irrepressible excitement almost showed up.

Nakata Saburo also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly reminded: "Calm down, don't be overjoyed, after all, we lost the battle and lost a large number of imperial troops." ”

"Hey! Thank you Captain for the reminder! The vice-captain quickly put away the smile on his face and pretended to be heartbroken.

At this time, Nakata Saburo's gaze had shifted to the gate of the station.

The captain of the third brigade stood in front of the wing leader, his head bowed just like himself just now.

If you look at the atmosphere, you can guess: the co-captain must be angry and cursing again.

"Let's go, let's go back to the station, today the wing captain will definitely not hold everyone accountable for not completing the task." Nakata Saburo's heart was completely put down, and he turned his head and ordered the vice captain beside him.

Back at the captain's tent, the battle damage of the third brigade happened to be reported.

The scout who was left at the gate of the station by Saburo Nakata reported in a colorful voice: "Captain, the third team has not captured the hostages either!" ”

"Although they lost fewer troops than us, they lost more imperial troops than us."

"A reinforced brigade only came back with half of the brigade, nearly 300 imperial troops were killed in battle, nearly 200 imperial troops were seriously injured, most of them were blown up by mines, and there was no way to recover their combat effectiveness in two or three months."

"More than 400 people were killed and captured in the battle, and nearly 100 people were seriously wounded."

Hearing the accurate news, Saburo Nakata was even more relieved.

The loss of the Imperial Army by itself was 300 people, and the loss of the 3rd Brigade by the Imperial Army was 500 people, a whole gap in the reinforced squadron.

In this way, my losses in today's battle are still smaller.

As for the Imperial Allied Army that cooperated with the attack, Saburo Nakata didn't pay attention to it at all.

And he believes that the co-captain will not take it seriously.

On the whole, compared with the third brigade, today's action not only did not happen, but also meritorious.

At the garrison headquarters, the wing commander's face was flushed with anger.

Maybe he finished scolding at the gate of the station, but after returning here, he didn't continue to scold, sitting on a chair, frowning, thinking about something?

The chief of staff stood beside him, lowered his head and reported: "Wing Commander, the lowly post has already counted the losses of the two brigades. ”

"The Imperial Army lost 498 casualties, and 286 were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness."

"The Imperial Allied Army killed and missing 1,328 people, and 101 people were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness."

The wing commander was silent for a long time before he spoke, stared at the chief of staff and asked, "Is there really a problem with the battle plan we formulated, otherwise why did the two striking troops return with a great defeat?" ”

"If only one unit is defeated, we can still blame the command errors of the front-line commanders."

"Now that both forces have been defeated, it cannot be said that both commanders have made mistakes in command."

"They are all the best commanders in the wing, if even they can't complete the mission, don't think about it."

The chief of staff lowered his head and thought for a long time before he mustered up the courage to reply: "Wing Commander, I think that the provisions of our battle plan are too rigid. ”

"The two brigade commanders reported that because of the strict implementation of the battle plan, most of the losses of the troops were caused by harassment and obstruction by the Eighth Route Army during the pursuit."

"To a certain extent, the operational plan of the command headquarters is a very important reason for the heavy casualties of the attacking troops."

The Wing Captain wanted to refute, but he swallowed the words back into his mouth.

He suddenly thought of Saburo Nakata's report.

On the way to retreat, because the Imperial Allied Army was ordered to take the initiative to attack and drag the Eighth Route Army to harass the troops, the frequency of attacks on the Imperial Army was significantly reduced, and the casualties were greatly reduced.

If the Imperial Allied Army is sent out when the troops attack, and the surrounding Eighth Route Army is dragged, the losses of the attacking troops will definitely be reduced, and the marching speed will be faster, and the hostages will have been captured.

Thinking about it, the Wing Captain began to regret it.

A new battle plan slowly popped up in his mind, staring at the map and saying.

"Chief of Staff, since we still have to wait for logistical supplies here, I have decided that the troops will continue to attack tomorrow and capture the hostages."

"Without hostages in hand, even if we replenish ammunition and food, we can only attack 20 kilometers forward every day, and we will be attacked by various means of the Eighth Route Army."

"With the hostages, we will be able to attack and advance at least forty kilometers every day, and the Eighth Route Army, which is moving around us, will become constrained and will not dare to attack us as brazenly as before."

"The troops are still attacking two hiding places in two directions."

"Each attacking force includes half an infantry brigade of the Imperial Army and two battalions of the Imperial Army."

"After encountering the blocking and harassment of the Eighth Route Army, the attacking troops immediately arranged for the Imperial Allied Army to counterattack."

"We have an advantage in strength, three Imperial Allied armies fight one Eighth Route Army, and two battalions can also hold back almost two companies of the Eighth Route Army."

"The garrison regiment has a limited number of troops, and it is impossible to have one or two main companies in each hiding place."

"As long as the Imperial Allied Army that cooperates with the attack drags the Eighth Route Army around us to block us, half a brigade of the Imperial Army will be able to kill all the way to the hiding place, capture the hostages we want, and complete the task."

The chief of staff thought for a moment and replied: "The wing commander is wise. ”

"This kind of fight can give full play to our superiority in troops."

"The Imperial Allied Army will fight the main force of the garrison regiment and drag them down, and the Imperial Army will definitely win the battle if it goes to fight the local troops of the Eighth Route Army, capture hostages, and kill chickens with knives."

The wing commander added: "There are also aviation units that cannot be missed. ”

"The escort planes must calculate the time well to ensure that there are planes escorting the attacking troops at all times,"

"I don't want to hear any more news about the plane handover and the Imperial Army being attacked by the Eighth Route Army itself."
