Over the entire front, they left behind more than two thousand corpses, along with an almost equal number of wounded, who were placed in the rear.

In just one night, more than 4,000 people were killed and wounded, which was definitely a very serious blow to the 88th Division.

The number of combat personnel of the entire 88th Division has also changed from more than 10,000 to less than 8,000 now.

On the entire front, the only progress that may have been made was that Qinchuan's third battalion successfully occupied Taihe Street and repelled the Japanese counterattack.

However, the most ironic thing is that this unit has not received any artillery support from the 88th Division. Relying on the super combat ability of the three battalions and the command of Qin Chuan, he attacked the block where a wing of the Japanese army was stationed.

In the headquarters of the 88th Division, Sun Yuanliang's face had become very haggard.

"Master, how do you report to the upper peak? This time we can be regarded as a fiasco, if the peak blames it..." Jia Litao said worriedly.

But Sun Yuanliang closed his eyes slightly, and then said: "Although it is said that we lost the battle, we are not without gains." Didn't Qin Chuan's troops fight down a block? Then let's take this matter, big book! ”

"Big book?" Jia Litao asked.

Sun Yuanliang said: "Contact the reporters immediately, ask them to come here, and tell them that after a night of fierce fighting, our army has successfully occupied Taihe Street." Let them hype it up. ”

Jia Litao said: "But the strategy of our army is obviously to break through on the whole line, although the third battalion has made contributions, but it has only beaten down one block." Our overall battle is still a failure. ”

As a result, Sun Yuanliang said: "What do you know? What does Shangfeng want? It's not that we really need to win, it's that the people who watched the battle think that we won last night's battle, so that they can have the confidence to continue to support us, you know? ”

Hearing these words, Jia Litao suddenly realized.

At this time, he understood why his own master seat could stand. This kung fu of figuring out Shangfeng's thoughts, he is really not a little worse than him.

"If you let the people below know that our battle last night was basically a failure, and under the surging emotions of that group, my division seat can also be removed." Sun Yuanliang said, grabbed the teacup next to him, and poured himself a mouthful.

Jia Litao immediately leaned over and said, "Master, if you want to say that you are still clever!" After such a deception, maybe Shangfeng will give you a reward! ”

Sun Yuanliang smiled, and then said: "Go and inform those reporters immediately, let's write about this victory." ”

Jia Litao nodded, and then immediately ran out.

Early in the morning, Lu Chengshuang, who had just finished an operation, finally had time to come out of the operating room to catch his breath.

She hadn't slept all night last night, and her hands had even begun to tremble uncontrollably because of the long use of the scalpel.

Unlike Qin Chuan, she also has her own battlefield in the rear.

It's just that the object that these medical workers need to fight is not those fierce Japanese soldiers, but the Grim Reaper who may take the lives of those wounded soldiers at any time.

Walking out of the operating room and coming outside, Lu Chengshuang subconsciously raised his head and looked at the bell tower in the distance.

At this time, the top of the bell tower had been bombarded by Japanese mortars.

But on the incomplete bell tower, a battle flag of the three battalions was still fluttering above.

As Qin Chuan said when he set off, when the morning came, Lu Chengshuang only needed to look up at this side to see the flag fluttering above the bell tower.

"He didn't lie to me, he really let the battle flag fly on that bell tower." Lu Chengshuang said this, and the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop flowing.

Qin Chuan sat on the top of the bell tower, also looking into the distance.

It's just that the two are too far away to see each other. However, Qin Chuan knew that at this moment, Lu Chengshuang must also be looking at this battle flag.

"Camp!! There's a telegram from the divisional headquarters! The sixth son was under the bell tower and shouted at Qin Chuan.

Hearing this, Qin Chuan hurriedly walked down the bell tower, and then took the telegram in his hand.

The content on the telegram made Qin Chuan a little surprised. It was actually informed that a reporter would come here to interview them, hoping that Qin Chuan would be ready.

"Interview us? This group of reporters is really idle! Liuzi pursed the corners of his lips and said.

Qin Chuan said: "In my opinion, on the entire front, I am afraid that only our three battalions have made some progress, otherwise, Sun Shizuo will definitely not let such a good thing fall on our heads." ”

Liuzi said: "The division seat is this, you want to use the camp seat as a model propaganda?" ”

Qin Chuan said: "That's for sure, but this matter can't be cheapened for him." He needs to pay for what he has done! ”

After a while, Jia Litao, the chief of staff of the division headquarters, took more than a dozen soldiers and rode horses to Qin Chuan.

Jia Litao turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Qin Chuan and said, "Battalion Commander Qin, have you seen the telegram?" ”

Qin Chuan said: "See, speaking of which, this time our army should have won a big victory, after all, we can't even get artillery support, and we can attack the enemy's neighborhood."

The rest of the troops are supported by artillery fire, as well as the fire support of armored units, so the attack should be smoother. ”

Jia Litao grabbed Qin Chuan, dragged him aside and said, "Battalion Commander Qin, you are a smart person, what was the battle situation last night, even if the news from the division headquarters did not come down, you should be able to guess it!"

After a while, the reporter came, how to say it, I don't need to tell you, you should know it too! ”

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chief of Staff, I know it in my heart, so naturally I want to talk about our Master Sun." ”。

Seeing the yin and yang weirdness on Qin Chuan's face, Jia Litao immediately said: "Camp Commander Qin, don't remember, you can't talk nonsense, you know?" The division seat has already said, this time you behave well in front of reporters, the position of the commander of the 524th regiment, that is left to you. You know? ”

"The position of head of the regiment is left to me? What about our group? Qin Chuan said that what he was most worried about was that Commander Han would not die in the battle last night.
