Can these results be confirmed to be true, and did the front-line command falsely report the results? The army commander asked, staring at the chief of staff.

The chief of staff thought for a moment and replied: "It should be true that the lowly post personally spoke with the front-line commander on the phone." ”

"If this result is true, then the Gongzhen stronghold has not been lost in vain?" The commander's face looked a lot better.

The chief of staff quickly reacted: "Commander, what do you mean: judging from the proportion of casualties, the imperial army did not suffer losses in this battle!" ”

"Really!" The more the chief of staff spoke, the more relaxed the expression on his face.

"There is only one reinforced squadron of the Imperial Army in the Gongzhen stronghold, and the rest are all the Imperial Army."

"If the direct losses of the garrison regiment are really more than one battalion, it means that the imperial army relies on the strong fortifications in the stronghold, and one person can kill at least two Eighth Route Army."

"In the front-line garrison of our encircling garrison regiment, the total strength of the imperial army exceeds 7,000 people, and according to this casualty ratio, the imperial army only needs to pay half of the casualties to completely consume the garrison regiment."

"As for the Imperial Allied Army, they are all Chinese anyway, and if they die, they will die, and after the battle, we will catch Zhuangding and rebuild a Imperial Allied Army force."

"There's one more thing you didn't count!" The commander shook his head in reply.

Seeing that the chief of staff looked puzzled, the army commander explained very happily.

"In order to take the stronghold of Gongzhen and destroy the permanent firepower points in the stronghold, the garrison regiment also consumed a large number of heavy artillery shells."

"Although the intelligence shows that the garrison regiment has its own arsenal, it is limited by the lack of equipment and raw materials, and can only produce some simple weapons and ammunition, and cannot produce heavy artillery shells." "So the shells in their hands must be fighting less and less, and there is no replenishment."

"If they continue to attack the remaining strongholds, it won't be too long before they run out of shells."

"When the time comes, it will definitely be more and more difficult for them to attack our stronghold, and the casualties they will pay will be greater."

"When the main force of the imperial army begins to counterattack and attack their base area, those heavy artillery will become decorations because of the lack of ammunition, and they will not be able to form a threat, and our chances of destroying them will be greater."

The chief of staff's eyes brightened, and he immediately said, "Your Excellency the commander is wise!" ”

"In this way, we did not suffer a loss in the battle when the Gongzhen stronghold was captured by the Eighth Route Army, not only did we kill twice the number of the Eighth Route Army, but also consumed a large number of their heavy artillery shells and other weapons and ammunition, killing two birds with one stone."

"Not bad!" The commander affirmed.

"Compared with the garrison regiment, the strength advantage and terrain advantage on the front-line battlefield are on our side, and the front-line troops still have a steady stream of force support, so the garrison regiment is definitely not our opponent."

At this point, the commander's expression suddenly returned to seriousness.

"Order, the front command immediately dispatched reserves to reoccupy the Gongzhen stronghold, strengthen the fortifications there in the shortest possible time, form a permanent fire point, and then hold the stronghold."

"Front-line combat units are still mainly defensive."

"After being attacked by the garrison regiment, without the order of the military headquarters, no unit can leave the stronghold and take the initiative to attack, let alone take the initiative to provoke the Eighth Route Army in the encirclement."

"I'm going to use these strongholds to slowly deplete the garrison."

"In addition, last night they went against the norm and dispatched heavy artillery to attack the Gongzhen stronghold, which shows that the battle plan we are carrying out is useful to them, and it has already forced them to be in a hurry, otherwise they would not have made such a big move."

"So I decided to put more pressure on the garrison."

"It will be taken in two steps: First, the front-line troops will speed up the construction of the existing uninhabited area, so that it can play the role of blocking the garrison regiment base area as soon as possible, and ensure that not a single grain from the outside world will flow into the garrison regiment base area."

"Second, continue to expand the depth of the no-man's land!"

"The no-man's land extends another five kilometers to the area occupied by the imperial army, reaching more than 15 kilometers, further increasing the difficulty for the Eighth Route Army to cross the no-man's land. At the same time, we will drive more old and weak women and children to the garrison base area, increase their food shortage, and cause famine and chaos in the base area, so that we can reap the benefits of the fishermen. ”

The chief of staff's eyes had been replaced by scorching heat, and he looked at the commander with a look of admiration and replied: "Your Excellency the commander is wise. ”

"After the food shortage of the garrison regiment increases, in order to ensure the stability of the base area, we will definitely desperately attack our stronghold, break the blockade of no man's land against them, and go to the area occupied by the imperial army to get food."

"In this way, we can use the front-line strongholds to consume them in large quantities and reduce the operational pressure of encircling and suppressing them in the end."

In order to alleviate the pressure of retreat after rescuing people, the first and second battalions that entered the no-man's land invariably chose to fight in the afternoon.

Hengdong Village, less than a kilometer from the nearest stronghold.

Five days ago, the village was burned to the ground by the puppet army.

Early this morning, more than 800 young people rushed here amid the shouts and scolding of the puppet army, and destroyed the remaining ruins and broken walls of the village, as well as the surrounding bushes and groves.

Their purpose is simple: to give the whole no-man's land an unobstructed view, where there are no Tibetans.

Standing on the turret of the stronghold, holding a telescope, you can see the surrounding area for several kilometers.

If the no-man's land is all built according to the idea of the little devil, it will be difficult for a rabbit to pass under their noses, not to mention a living person.

The strength of the population was great, and in one morning, all the remaining ruins of the village were demolished.

From a distance, you can't tell that there was a village before.

As soon as they were half-fed at noon, hundreds of people began to clear the nearby bushes and woods under the drive of the puppet army.

All shrubs and trees were cut down, and what could be used was sent to the occupied zone, and what could not be used was burned on the spot.

The first battalion commander Liu Senyun and the guard platoon hid in the forest where these people were about to be destroyed.

The movement outside became louder and louder, and by three o'clock in the afternoon, the shouting and scolding of the puppet army could be heard clearly.

The soldiers on guard around were all nervous, holding their rifles, their eyes constantly rolling, and they were staring at their surroundings with great vigilance.

Several squad and platoon leaders gathered around Liu Senyun, waiting for orders with eager expressions.

As a guard unit, their accusation is to protect the safety of the battalion headquarters and not go to the battlefield unless absolutely necessary.

But as the most elite unit in the battalion, their desire to fight is undoubtedly the strongest, and they dream of going to the battlefield to kill devils.

finally seized an opportunity to go to the battlefield, and no one wanted to miss it.

"Comrades, our next task is to kill the Japanese puppet army guards and save the villagers outside the forest." Liu Senyun said straight to the point.

"Now I order: all the guards platoon are ready for battle, and all the following are ready to fight."

"Scouts report: Our opponents only have ten devils, and the rest are all puppet soldiers."

"Let's fight like this: a squad and I raid ten little devils, kill them with lightning speed, and then attack the puppet army."

"After the second and third squads are killed, they will take the combat group as a unit and directly assault the puppet army."

"Kill all the resistance, and don't show the slightest mercy."

"A kilometer away is the devil's stronghold, reinforcements may come at any time, we must end the battle quickly, there is no time for them to ink."

"After the battle, the third squad led the villagers and prisoners to retreat from the forest, and the others followed me to block the reinforcements that might be sent by the nearby strongholds, and protect the safety of the villagers at all costs."
