In the early morning, in the smoke of gunpowder that gradually dissipated, it was long overdue!

Soon after the city gate was breached, Yoshino Harada, with more than 1,700 remnants, withdrew from Dingzhou Castle and fled in the direction of Pingtongguan.

It's not that Zhang Ran doesn't want to give the order to pursue, but he has more than enough heart and not enough strength!

From the time of the attack on Xiaogushan to the present, the entire battle process lasted half a month, and if you add the previous lurking time, it will be close to twenty days!

From top to bottom, whether it is the detachment or militia fighting head-on, or the civilian team supporting logistics, all of them have long been exhausted and cannot chase at all!

Of course, the more important reason is that the casualties are too large up and down the team!

The main force has more than 1,300 people, and on this night alone, there are more than 300 casualties, plus the more than 300 casualties before, nearly half of the casualties are already on!

In addition to the main force, the casualties on the militia side, especially among the militias who participated in the battle, were even greater!

The total number of militia who participated in the war at the beginning was more than 3,000, but now there are less than 2,000 left, of which more than 800 were killed in direct battle!

All counted, the detachment sacrificed a total of more than 1,200 people, more than 800 wounded, including about 300 seriously wounded, according to Han Jinshan, these seriously wounded, I am afraid that half of them can survive is good!

Nearly 1,500 people were killed in the first battle, which was definitely a big loss of vitality for the detachment!

However, compared with the casualties of the first-class Ryuichi Mechanized Squadron of the Yoshino Harada Brigade, the casualties on the detachment's side are not unacceptable!

Attacking Dingzhou City, the total strength of the devils included more than 2,500 devils and nearly 3,000 puppet troops!

And now, even if you add the puppet army and the dragon one, the total number of troops who escaped is only more than 1,800 people, and two-thirds of them are killed in battle!

In addition to the puppet army, the casualties of the devil itself are estimated to be more than 1,000......

Compared with other teams to eliminate a devil, at least three soldiers have to die, such a casualty ratio is actually considered to be in the past - don't forget, this time it is the detachment that takes the initiative to attack, and the devil is based on the city to defend the result!

Therefore, although the casualties of the detachment this time are not small, they can still be regarded as an unprecedented victory!

If you can ignore the situation that Yuan Zhenfeng's army was completely annihilated, and even Yuan Zhenfeng himself died in a bloody battle......

Yuan Zhenfeng's department is the establishment of a regiment, and it is said that there are only about 2,000 people in the full number!

But in this era, the number of people in the team has never been counted in terms of establishment!

Whether it is the chairman of the committee or the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, the number of many troops is far from reaching the required number - it is said that it is a regiment, but many regiments have 2,000 people, even if there are 1,300 or 400 people!

What's more, there may even be only a few hundred people!

There are many reasons why this is the case!

Taking the Eighth Route Army as an example, the lack of personnel is more due to the difficult conditions, the troops cannot support so many people, or they often encounter devils and cannot be replenished in time, or because the troops are in the process of development, and there are many reasons such as the establishment but not enough manpower......

In many cases, the number of the chairman's troops is not enough, and the reasons for this are different!

First of all, the biggest difference between the chairman's team and the Eighth Route Army is that the chairman's team all have military salaries!

Those army commanders, often in order to eat empty salaries, also take the risk of filling up when they are not satisfied with the staff, so that they can eat empty salaries - as for the deployment according to the full staff, the devils have come to stop the attacks of the devils, and these team commanders don't care so much......

As long as the money is in hand, they are not afraid

After all, in these years, it is not unusual to fight against devils and defeat battles, but it is rare to win battles......

For such an officer, no matter up or down, it is estimated that his teeth are itching with hatred, but there is nothing he can do - it is difficult to return!

But in fact, such a chief is not the most hateful!

Kang Ting once told Zhang Ran that he once met the commander of the team who not only concealed the number of troops in order to eat empty salaries, but also secretly buried those seriously wounded and the like alive......

Zhang Ran didn't want to know what he was thinking about when he was dying because he was seriously injured because he was desperate with the little devil on the battlefield, not to mention that he could not get proper treatment on the battlefield, and was still facing the tragic experience of being buried alive.

He only knew that if this kind of scum fell into his hands, he would not simply shoot him!

Zhang Ran didn't know if Yuan Zhenfeng had ever done anything like burying the seriously wounded alive in order to eat empty pay and drink soldiers' blood, but he definitely knew that for a long time, Yuan Zhenfeng's department claimed a regiment to the outside world, but the total number of people together was less than 1,000!

But according to the historical records that Zhang Ran once remembered, when Yuan Zhenfeng died in Dingzhou, the total number of sacrifices in the whole regiment was far more than 3,000!

And that's still history!

In reality, because he handed over Cai Shuncheng's body to Yuan Zhenfeng, after Yuan Zhenfeng borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, Commander Huang gave him priority everywhere - the total number of his regiment may have approached four thousand indefinitely......

These, from the history of Yuan Zhenfeng held Dingzhou for less than seven days, this time it can be proved that he guarded for half a month!

The remains of soldiers piled up by little devils in the ruins of the city, and the remains scattered among the wreckage in the streets and alleys, can also be proven......

The casualties of the detachment, plus the death of all members of Yuan Zhenfeng's troops......

If you calculate it like this, it will be a big loss!

After all, more of the devils died in battle, and more of them were puppet soldiers!

"Those dog traitors......"

From time to time, there are people's husbands, and militia soldiers scold when they collect the remains!

So many people died, and in the end, more of them were just Chinese killing Chinese, and the real little devils died no more than a thousand people - just thinking about it, I don't know how many people can blow up their lungs!

"Lao Tzu can't figure it out, why are there so many soft-boned, shouldn't good people like to be dogs?"

I don't know how many people are thinking about this problem in their hearts, they are sure that if they kill all these soft bone scumbags first, the little devil may never be arrogant like this!

Zhang Ran didn't have any thoughts on this.

Although he hates traitors more than anyone else, he knows better that traitors are really creatures that cannot be killed......

Now some people become traitors, it may be attributed to these guys' soft bones wanting to find a good master, but decades later, the little devil has long been broken like a lost dog, and the motherland is getting stronger and stronger because of the progress of countless martyrs - even at this time, there are still a lot of Jingri elements kneeling and licking their little devil father......

Zhang Ran is actually a little lucky!

After all, in these years, you can see and kill one of these traitors, but after a few decades, you can only watch those traitors itch and hate, but you can't kill them......

Thin Monkey Shi Yuan and the others came back and shook their heads at Zhang Ran!

After searching all over the city, they didn't find Yuan Zhenfeng's body, nor did they find any living people, even the wounded......

But no one doubted that Yuan Zhenfeng had already fought a bloody battle!

Without a regimental commander who is determined to die, this Dingzhou City would not be able to fight like this - when the seriously wounded are all fighting to the death, there is absolutely a need for a strong enough reason!

"It's a pity that we still let the two bastards Yoshino Harada run away......"

Kang Ting and the others stomped their feet and said sadly, they were sure that if they could kill all these bastards in Dingzhou City, their hearts would definitely be much more comfortable......

There are fast horses entering the city, and they are the fighters of the cavalry platoon of the detachment!

Zhang Ran and the other everyone's eyes lit up!

Although there are only more than 1,000 remnants of the defeated army left, these guys have already killed red-eyed in order to flee for their lives, and the detachment wants to annihilate such a remnant of the Japanese army, and it is still on the endless plain, there is no chance at all!

If the defeated Long Yi Squadron can be eliminated, it will definitely be a great comfort for everyone in the detachment......

Of course, the most important thing is that in the hands of the remnants of Long Yi, there is still an intact tank!
