Chapter 766: Puzzle Clearing
Looking at the generals in front of him who agreed together, Su Jin nodded secretly before saying, "Before assigning the task, I want to listen to the casualties reported by the various departments, who will say it first?" ”
Everyone was silent for a while, and Huang Weiguo first said: "Report to the commander, the 347th Division suffered a total of 4,876 casualties in this battle, of which 1,368 were killed, and 684 of the remaining people are no longer suitable to stay in the combat unit even if they recover from their injuries."

Sun Liren also said: "The 350th Division suffered a total of 3,025 casualties, 1,356 killed, and 536 of the remaining wounded were seriously injured and were no longer suitable to stay in the combat unit after recovery. ”
Huang Baitao also said: "The 351st Division also suffered fewer casualties due to its late participation in the battle, with a total of 1,879 casualties, including ......."
Huang Jianguo, "Casualties ............ of the Second Division of the National People's Guard"
Su Jin nodded silently while listening to the casualties reported by the crowd and did not immediately express his opinion, until everyone finished speaking, he sighed lightly: "It seems that the casualties of our troops are still not small, especially the 347th Division." Although you have achieved the greatest results, you have the heaviest tasks and the greatest casualties. Well, I'll give you a week's rest to replenish your troops and supplies, and in a week our troops will be ready for a big operation. ”
"Chief Su, what's the big move again?" Sun Liren on the side couldn't help but ask.
Su Jin glanced at Sun Liren and smiled: "What's the matter, Brother Fumin is in a hurry?" ”
Sun Liren touched his nose a little embarrassed, "It's nothing, in the past two days, I always feel that there is an evil fire in my heart that I can't vent." In this battle, we obviously occupy an absolute advantage in firepower, and air supremacy is also in our hands, but in the battle against Mukden, these advantages were not fully utilized, and it was not painful to fight at all, and even the casualties of the troops were much higher than before, so I thought that I could have a happy fight with the Japanese, so that the Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the imperial army, could see the power of our Third Army! ”
"yes!" As soon as Sun Liren's words were finished, Huang Weiguo also agreed on the side: "This attack on Mukden, except for the peripheral position battle, our heavy artillery is almost no different from cripples, except for small-caliber artillery, but we don't dare to use any artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm, how many excellent soldiers are so sacrificed on the battlefield in vain because they don't get the support of artillery, I am really aggrieved in my heart." ”
Seeing that everyone was looking indignant, Su Jin also sighed: "I can understand everyone's feelings, but you must know that Fengtian is a big city with a population of one million, where there are nearly a thousand enterprises, mines and factories of all sizes, and it is also the most developed industrial city in China. But now it seems that our sacrifice was worth it, and with this city in hand, our strength can be said to have grown by leaps and bounds. On the other hand, Japan, after losing the city of Mukden, its strength will decline rapidly, and the comparison between our strength and the Japanese army will change fundamentally, which is very beneficial to the great cause of our country's War of Resistance! ”
After everyone heard this, even Huang Weiguo, the commander of the 347th Division, who suffered the heaviest casualties, had to admit that Su Jin was very reasonable. Compared to the benefits gained from the capture of Mukden, the sacrifices made by the Third Army were nothing at all. On the contrary, the harvest of this campaign alone was that the Fengtian Arsenal alone could produce 18,000 infantry guns, 240 machine guns, hundreds of artillery pieces of various types, 1.5 million to 9 million rounds of various guns and ammunition, 30,000 to 50,000 rounds of various artillery shells, as well as grenades, aerial bombs, smokeless gunpowder, black powder, ammonium nitrate explosives, and some basic chemical raw materials, as well as all kinds of artillery trucks, trucks, and so on.
"In the final analysis, the war is fought for the country's industrial strength, the fight is for the population, and the fight is for who is richer, we did suffer tens of thousands of casualties in the battle to recover Fengtian, and it is indeed a battle with the greatest casualties in recent years, but don't forget that we got more. To put it mildly, we can afford such casualties, after all, we are a big country with a population of 450 million, but Japan is not, how many Mukden can they lose? It can be said unceremoniously that just one Fengtian Arsenal can feed hundreds of thousands of troops of our Third Army, and there is even a surplus to support the national army on the battlefield in Guannai. ”
Value ...... It's so fucking worth it. ”
Everyone stopped talking, although Su Jin's words were a little cruel, but this was the case. He is right, in the final analysis, war is all about population, money and industrial strength, and whoever can't hold it first will fall first, this is the cruel reality.
Sun Liren first agreed: "The chief is right, any strategy and skill are trivial, and fighting a war is still strength in the final analysis, if our country's industrial strength is also comparable to Japan, how can the Japanese occupy my great rivers and mountains?" This time, we can recover Fengtian, and Chief Su can be said to be a contemporary! ”
"Stop, stop, I can't afford that." Su Jin waved his hand again and again, although he was quite thick-skinned, he didn't dare to bear the phrase "merit in the contemporary".
"Hahaha......" Seeing the rare modesty of the chief who had never known what blushing was, Huang Weiguo and the others laughed.
"Alright, let's get down to business!" Su Jin waved his hand, "All in all, although we have recovered Mukden this time, we have let the old devil Umezu Mijiro run away, and it is not complete." And this old devil will never sit back and watch Fengtian, the city they have worked hard to camp in Beijing for more than ten years, fall into our hands, so there must be a big battle waiting for us next,"
At this time, Huang Jianguo suddenly asked: "Sir, there is something I haven't understood in the department. The Mukden Arsenal is so important, why didn't Umezu Mijiro blow it up when he retreated, but left it to us intact, why is that? ”
"Do you think Umezu Mijiro was too stupid to leave us an intact Mukden Castle?" Su Jin took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
"This ......"
Huang Jianguo scratched his head a little embarrassed, this is also something he has been unable to figure out, according to common sense, the IQ of the commander of the dignified Kwantung Army will never be so low.
Su Jin put down the teacup and chuckled and said, "Umezu Mijiro is not stupid, on the contrary, this old guy is shrewd?" The Mukden Arsenal is the result of more than ten years of painstaking operation by the Japanese, and the reason why he left the Mukden Arsenal without destroying it was because he wanted to lead the army back and occupy it again. ”
