Zhang Wei organized the troops to collect the spoils of war, dispose of the remains of the fallen officers and soldiers, and register the names of the dead in each company, and the aftermath of the troops on the battlefield was basically completed, and there was no enemy situation around, so Zhang Wei ordered the whole battalion to rest and start the meal, which was brown rice and bean sprouts sent from behind, and then served with pork jerky in the hands of each cooking team. After the hand-to-hand combat of X, many soldiers were killed, and eating a meal at this time was an excellent supplement, and the tired could squint for a while after eating.

Zhang Wei ate the meal, sat outside the trench to rest, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of the position, the soldiers hurriedly picked up the guys to prepare for war, Zhang Wei got up and looked, the people who came were a few ** officers, not a Japanese attack.

"Okay, put the gun down, it's your own person."

When the comer arrived at the position, he immediately dismounted, wearing a steel helmet on his head, and there were traces of gunpowder smoke on his military uniform, which looked like he had just come down from the battlefield, Zhang Wei walked over, and took a closer look, the leader was Qiu Qingquan, and behind him were several guards with shell guns, Qiu Qingquan's regular clothes were blackened by gunsmoke, and there were a little traces of blood.

"Sir, are you injured?"

"It's no big deal, I was bitten by shrapnel when I was directing the pursuit." Qiu Qingquan took off his steel helmet, took the kettle from the guard's hand, drank it in a big gulp, and after drinking, poured out the water and wiped his face, erasing the black marks on his face.

Zhang Wei learned from Qiu Qingquan's mouth that the 155th Division and the 58th Division launched a full-line counterattack against the Japanese army in the front, Qiu Qingquan personally led the chariot to cooperate with the friendly army to pursue the enemy with the cooperation of a regiment of reinforcements, and the chariot carried out expelling shooting and pursuit of the Japanese army during the battle, and the Japanese army suffered a lot of losses under the siege on several sides, and the chariot of the assault column also ate a part of the lagging Japanese army in the pursuit, because of the fear that the pursuit distance was too far, the chariot unit stopped the counterattack before the friendly army, and during the pursuit, Qiu Qingquan was hit by the Japanese artillery shrapnel, Slightly injured.

"The commander should be careful, don't get too close to the front-line battle, if there is an accident, who will command the troops." Zhang Wei said with concern, Qiu Qingquan was no longer on the front line, but personally chased after him in a chariot.

"There is no big problem, as a general, the training should lead by example, and at a critical time like today, the battle should be the first." Qiu Qingquan waved his hand.

"Zhang Wei, have the losses and results been counted?" Qiu Qingquan asked.

"Report to the sir, after the statistics are completed, our battalion blocked the second brigade of the enemy's 15th Wing west of Luowangzhai for one day and one night, and killed more than 80 Japanese soldiers, including two squadron commanders and three squad leaders, plus the casualties of the wounded and the enemy's infantry artillery squadron being shelled by the battle defense artillery, the total number of enemy casualties should be about 150 people, and the two officers and commanders of our battalion were killed, both platoon commanders, 137 soldiers killed and 62 wounded, for a total of 201 casualties."

"The Japanese army suffered more than 150 casualties, and your battalion suffered about 200 casualties, and it was a good fight, I will report the merits of your battalion, and we will not lose this business." Qiu Qingquan was quite satisfied with this figure, and a battalion killed more than 80 enemies in a single battle, which was quite a considerable number.

"Sir, this battle is not only the desperate efforts of our battalion, the brothers of the battle defense artillery platoon, the engineer platoon, and the mortar platoon are also fighting with their lives, and the platoon commander of the engineer platoon died in the battle."

"That's natural, as long as you participate in the battle, you have merit, and the engineer platoon commander's compassionate order will be reported with the soldiers who died in your battalion after the war." Qiu Qingquan was very satisfied with Zhang Wei's attitude of not monopolizing the merits, and the current army talks about factions and annexation, but within the army, basic morality must be stressed.

"Okay, let's talk about the next thing, can you hold on to this casualty of your battalion?"

"Sir, no problem, I took it upon myself to supplement the remaining twenty or so brothers of the engineer platoon into the first company of our battalion, and we have recovered a certain strength, and we are ready to continue to fight in the battalion." Zhang Wei said confidently.

"Well, come on, bring the picture!" Qiu Qingquan turned his head, and the guard took off the map cylinder on the horse, took out the combat map in the cylinder and handed it to Qiu Qingquan. Qiu Qingquan unfolded the map, Zhang Wei looked at it, it was also a combat map of eastern Henan, Qiu Qingquan took it, compared to what Zhang Wei just saw was too much worse, Qiu Qingquan's map, many small stations and abandoned villages along the line were not clearly marked, and the hills and rivers on the map of the Japanese army were also not on Qiu Qingquan's map.

"Sir, look at this picture." Zhang Wei took the map of the Japanese army that had just been captured from the hands of his own guards.

"This is a map of the Japanese army that has just been captured, and it was taken off the body of a captain."

Qiu Qingquan looked at the map of the Japanese army, his expression became extremely complicated, he threw the original map in his hand aside, looked at it for a while, and sighed.

"It's still the standard drawings drawn by the Japanese, and some of the drawings in our hands were roughly measured nearly ten years ago."

Qiu Qingquan looked at it for a while, and drew a circle on the map with his hand, and the center of the circle was an important stronghold, Sanyiji.

"In the eastern Henan zone, our army and the Japanese Tufei Yuan Division have been fighting fiercely for several days, and now they are frustrated everywhere, and the progress is not great, Lanfeng City has been lost, the 71st Army counterattack has failed several times, Meng Jiaoji, Maji, Yanggu and other places have also fought fiercely, according to the telegram sent to us by the headquarters of the Eastern Henan Corps, now the Japanese 14th Division has a shrinking situation, the enemy troops are mostly retreating to the Sanyiji area, and the Japanese Second Infantry Wing near Lanfeng was repulsed by the 71st Army, retreating in the direction of Sanyiji, and the headquarters of the 59th Wing also want to move in the direction of Sanyiji." Qiu Qingquan said in a deep voice.

"Sanyi set, the enemy army is all shrinking there, which means that there is an enemy headquarters in this place?"

"Yes, it has been ascertained that the headquarters of the 14th Division of the Japanese Army is in the area of Sanyiji, and our army has already launched an attack, the 27th Army, the 74th Army and other units have besieged the past, and our assault column has also received an order to drive eastward to cooperate with friendly forces to attack Sanyiji and besiege the enemy's 14th Division."

The total strength of the assault column is not much, but it has combat vehicles, anti-aircraft artillery and other technical equipment, and it is reasonable to participate in the siege.

"Understood, sir, our battalion is ready for dispatch." Zhang Weili replied.

Qiu Qingquan glanced at his watch: "Your battalion will rest again, don't worry, there is a part of the chariot battalion chariots in front of your battalion, and behind your battalion are other parts of the column, and all parts of the column are still on standby, wait until the order is delivered, and then set off after the chariot troops are rebuilt, just so you can also rest a little more, the above requires us to arrive on the evening of the 25th, that is, before tonight, in short, after a short rest, we will set off." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

The two coordinated the next march, Qiu Qingquan rode a horse, and left in a hurry, before leaving, Zhang Wei gave him the captured map of the Japanese army, Qiu Qingquan was not polite, so he accepted it, when fighting, a good map,
