Chapter 1423: They're Heroes (First Update!) )
The battle for Chentouling ended half an hour ago.
The battlefield was full of soldiers carrying torches to clean the battlefield and prisoners carrying corpses.
Li Hao was still standing at the commanding heights of Chentouling, looking at the busy scene in front of him, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
After this battle, there were less than 4,000 puppet troops left in Datong.
As long as the other troops quickly swept the Japanese puppet army outside the city, they could rest assured that they would attack Datong City, and they would be ninety percent sure that they would take it.
"Commander, the results and losses have been counted." Hong Linfeng ran over to report with a smile on his face.
Li Hao nodded and asked: "It's still the old rule, let's talk about the battle damage first, and then talk about the results!" ”
The smile on Hong Linfeng's face disappeared in an instant, and he replied very seriously.
"Because of the extensive use of heavy artillery, the Japanese puppet army was bent on breaking through and rarely fought hard with us, except for the three battalions, the losses of the other participating troops were very small."
"The Huaiyuan Independent Regiment and the Laishui Independent Regiment together lost 298 people, and 71 people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness."
"The three battalions, including the new illness that had just replenished the troops, the baggage soldiers, suffered 598 casualties, 108 were seriously wounded, and the light and heavy weapons were almost blown up, and the whole army was almost wiped out."
Li Hao replied with admiration in his words: "The three battalions are good, and each soldier is the hero of our garrison regiment. ”
"How is Tan Weiqi, I heard that he is injured."
Hong Linfeng nodded: "Seriously injured, I was hit by a devil grenade during the counterattack, I took a look, although I am not unconscious, it will take at least two months to recover." ”
"The instructor was also injured, lighter and didn't need to be hospitalized."
"Only one of the company commanders was left intact, one was seriously wounded, one was lightly wounded, and all the others died."
A touch of heartache flashed on Li Hao's serious face, and he thought for a moment and replied, "You can take me to see Camp Commander Tan and the surviving soldiers of the third battalion in a while." ”
"I, Li Hao, thank them on behalf of the whole regiment."
"Without their sacrifices, we would not have been able to stop the devils at Chentouling, and the heavy artillery battalion would not have had time to move in place, so we would not have been able to win this battle."
"They are the heroes of our garrison, they are heroes."
"Tell Tan Weiqi that I will keep the position of the commander of the third battalion for him, go back and recuperate well, and I will also ask him to bring me another iron-clad third battalion."
"By the way, give orders to the third battalion."
"They did a very good job, and they had a day's rest after dawn."
"Tomorrow night at eight o'clock on time, the instructor of the third battalion will lead the team, withdraw to the base area to rest, and by the way, bring back all the seriously wounded in the regiment."
"The cavalry battalion and the anti-aircraft battalion each drew a company to escort them."
"The political commissar led the troops to meet at the edge of the base area to ensure the safety of all the seriously wounded."
"After returning to the base area, the political commissar limited the replenishment of recruits and cadres, especially the veterans who recovered from the field hospital......"
Hong Linfeng's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "This method is good, not only can the seriously injured be treated in time and avoid unnecessary casualties; It is also possible to free up the troops who take care of them to participate in the battle and reduce our pressure; There is also the benefit that the third battalion can regain its strength as soon as possible; Three birds with one stone. ”
"When I'm done here, I'll personally arrange for them to retreat."
After talking about the battle damage, the next turn is the result.
The expressions of the two people slowly became relaxed, and Hong Linfeng spoke first: "Regiment leader, a total of 1,088 corpses of little devils, 354 corpses of puppet soldiers were found on the battlefield of Chentouling, and many corpses were shattered by heavy artillery, and there is no way to count them." ”
"689 puppet soldiers were captured, and no more than 1,000 Japanese puppet troops really broke out."
"The Huaiyuan Independent Regiment has been chasing after them, and they haven't come back yet, so they must have killed a lot of people on the way."
"I estimate that there are only about 500 devils who can kill the heavy artillery position in the end."
Zhou Liang, the commander of the communications platoon, suddenly came over and interrupted: "The regiment commander, the chief of staff, and the commander of the artillery battalion Yuan Battalion have telegraphed. ”
"The devils in the assault artillery positions were repelled by them."
"The Japanese puppet army suffered more than 400 casualties, and only more than 100 escaped."
Li Hao's face was already happy, and he hurriedly ordered: "Send a telegram to Wang Xin, more than a hundred devils have fled towards them, stop them, and kill them." ”
At the Japanese military headquarters in Taiyuan, the army commander was woken up by the chief of staff in his sleep and was in a very bad mood.
He sat up from the bed and asked, "What is so urgent, can't you, the chief of staff, handle it!" ”
After asking, the commander made up his mind that if the chief of staff reported something that could not be used in his own eyes, he would definitely scold him and continue to sleep.
The chief of staff immediately reported: "Your Excellency, you really can't do this in this matter. ”
"The Datong Mixed Brigade has just sent an urgent telegram that some troops are attacking Datong City."
"They have already lost more than four thousand people, asking for reinforcements."
The commander was so frightened that he suddenly got up from the bed, and asked while getting dressed, "Is it Jin Suijun?" ”
"Have they forgotten the losses they suffered last time in Datong? If you still dare to fight the idea of Datong, aren't you afraid of another fiasco? ”
"What is the intelligence department doing, such a big military operation of the Jin Sui Army, they didn't even notice it, did the commander who just took office not want to do it."
A wry smile flashed across the Chief of Staff's face.
The telegram from Datong was very long, and it began with a report of the attack on Datong.
Because he didn't read the following, the chief of staff's first reaction was the same as the army commander, which was also Jin Suijun.
Looking at the Chinese army around Datong, the Jin Sui army also had the strength and appetite to capture Datong.
But the truth was like a loud slap that made him snap.
I didn't expect that it was the garrison regiment that had lost its offensive ability in their eyes that attacked Datong.
The telegram was reasonable, and the heavy artillery battalions of the garrison regiment were dispatched......
Faced with these facts, the chief of staff believed it.
Then I started thinking about how to report the bad news to the commander.
The garrison regiment has many recruits and poor combat effectiveness, which is information recognized by both himself and the army commander, and the entire Shanxi garrison has been informed.
This judgment proved to be wrong.
not only slapped him in the face, but also misled the imperial troops around the garrison regiment, and then gave them the opportunity to touch the territory of Datong unknowingly.
Although there was nothing in the telegram to accuse the military department, he knew his own affairs, and after this matter spread, the military department would definitely become a laughing stock.
It's good that Datong City hasn't been lost, but if it is lost, both himself and the military commander will be responsible.
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think about how to report this to the brigade commander without angering him.
In the end, it was decided to tell the truth.
The commander put on his military uniform and walked to the war room, followed by the chief of staff and replied stubbornly.
"Your Excellency Army Commander, it was the garrison regiment that attacked Datong, not the Jin Sui Army."
"The telegram said: The heavy artillery battalion of the garrison regiment has appeared in Datong and has participated in the battle, inflicting a large number of casualties on us."
