Liu Lang's calculations were very accurate, from the start of the battle to the complete defeat of the recalcitrant Japanese troops in the valley to the three infantry regiments plus three infantry battalions to search the entire valley and the foot of the mountain to clear the remnants of the Japanese invaders, it took three and a half hours.

By the time the three infantry regiment commanders came over to report to the headquarters composed of Liu Deng and Liu Lang, who had arrived at the front line, that the search for the remnants of the enemy had been completed, it was already completely dark.

However, there were fires on the mountains and in the valleys, and when the battle was in front, the baggage company behind the mountain was not idle, and used all its hands to prepare a large number of torches and dry firewood, and sent them to the front line when it was slightly dark.

All the baggage units of the two armies were responsible for lighting piles of bonfires in the valley, and the soldiers with torches had not yet sat down to rest, and they were busy cleaning up the battlefield, counting the number of enemies killed and captured.

Every time a battle is won, it is the happiest moment for the soldiers, especially the red soldiers, who can replenish enough ammunition to support several battles.

The bodies of the slain soldiers were carried to the end of the river valley, and they were densely packed all over the river beach. After counting, not counting outside the river valley, there are 2,319 corpses in the entire river valley, including the Japanese army's Shaozo Captain, that is, Ikeda Ryao, as well as the bodies of 3 captains and 4 lieutenants have been found, and the squad leader and second lieutenant Jun Cao level are as high as dozens of people.

The bodies of the eight Japanese officers were lined up together, and the red central reporters of the 129th Division were specially photographed, and they stayed cool off with their subordinates.

Their role, that is, to confirm the results of the battle, is not yet able to report the results to the Jindong Front Command. There is no need for Liu Lang to remind them, but the two of them first tactfully reminded Liu Lang that he is still in wartime, and for the sake of secrecy, it is best not to report the results of the battle here to the above.

As a matter of fact, as early as noon, the Jindong Front Command sent telegrams to the headquarters of the 129th Division and the headquarters of the 386th Brigade, asking about the activities of the Japanese army in the area of Shiyu Town and the position of the main force of the 129th Division.

The future god of the army and the future general replied half-truths and half-truths, saying that the main force of the 129th Division had arrived at Qiqian Village, and more than 10,000 people from five infantry regiments with one brigade and three regiments were arranging a defensive line south of Shiyu Town to reach the Japanese invaders, and because of the advantage of the mountain, they had already resisted more than 6,000 Japanese troops, and asked the headquarters to mobilize a large army to participate in the encirclement to annihilate the Japanese invaders, and support 12 mountain artillery or 40 mortars to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese invaders.

When General Huang of the Jindong Front Headquarters received the news, he was relieved for the most part. Lack of Donkey Ridge was lost, thousands of Japanese troops crossed the Lack of Donkey Ridge roundabout to measure the town of Yuzhen has always made him like a man, and now there are more than 10,000 people of the 129th Division of the 18th Group Army to block them according to the mountain situation, which is really good.

The battle of nearly 20,000 people can also explain why there are fighters in the sky of Jindong. The 2nd Theater of Operations has been asking Nanjing for air support for a long time. This group of young men of the Air Force is good, and when they first entered Shanxi, they gave a harsh lesson to the Japanese army aviation that had been raging on the front line in eastern Jindong for a long time.

Although he is mainly in charge of government affairs in Guangxi, this General Huang is not unfamiliar with military affairs, knowing that once the air threat is gone, no matter how scummy the troops on the ground are, they will be able to resist the Japanese invaders for some time, not to mention the "red bandits" who have not been wiped out by the government with hundreds of thousands of troops? Although their equipment is poor, their will to fight is extremely tenacious, more than 10,000 people, and with the advantage of the terrain, it is naturally no problem to resist the offensive of more than 6,000 Japanese troops for several days.

As for the request to mobilize a large army to encircle the Japanese army as mentioned in the telegram in the future, General Huang just laughed and didn't take it seriously at all. I really take myself seriously, it's good to be able to block it, and I'm still around. The old man mobilized the elite army of the whole country to fight the Japanese army in Songhu, and how many Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded in total?

The battle report at the beginning of October said that there were more than 35,500 in it, and I don't know how much water there is in it, and if I squeeze it, I don't know if there is 25,000. For those colleagues who are good at expanding their military exploits, he knows it all too well.

If you want to encircle these more than 6,000 devils in an infantry brigade, no 40,000 or 50,000 people can surround them? Do you want him to transfer the 26th Route Army on the southeast front of Jinxi and the 22nd Army 150 miles away from the battlefield? Isn't that asking for his Huang Shaohong's head! The 108th and 109th divisions, which were frantically breaking south along the Pinghan Line, only had to make a slight turn to defeat Jindong, which had lost its troops on the southern front. When the time comes, isn't he, the commander of the Jindong front, going to take the blame?

As for the support of 12 mountain guns or 40 mortars requested by the future god of war, they were thrown to the side of the desk by the commander. Joke, how many mountain artillery and how many mortars did he have in the entire Jindong theater? It's all given to you, not to mention that the opinions of other ministries are big, even if Nanjing hears about it, it will be a big scolding!

Of course, there was no troop support and no equipment support, but General Huang was still very particular, and while sending a telegram to praise the 129th Division and even the 18th Group Army, he promised to report the 129th Division's achievements in resisting the Japanese invaders to the Second Theater Commander's Office and to the Military Administration Office of the State Government. If they can delay the Japanese for three days, when the 22nd Army arrives in the theater of operations, they will be allowed to come here to change their defenses.

It is said to be more beautiful than flowers, but in essence it is nothing. Even if he said that he would change his guard three days later, he regarded it as an unlucky Sichuan army.

However, perhaps because he was somewhat embarrassed, he never sent another telegram after sending the telegram of encouragement, and he no longer kept silent about the war on this side. This also saves Liu Lang and others a lot of trouble, if this master also learns from the national government and wants to be a remote commander in the future, it will be too annoying. In this way, it is good to stay in the headquarters and be his minister.

In fact, this is also the advantage of General Huang, in Guangxi, he is the head of the administrative responsibility, there is a big man surnamed Li in charge, and General Bai, who is known as "Little Zhuge " in the military, is in charge, and he is also responsible for the people's livelihood and intermediate coordination, and he has become accustomed to not pointing fingers at the military generals below. Although this time he took the post of deputy commander of the 2nd Theater with the sword of Shang Fang, the habit formed for a long time is not easy to change.

Otherwise, how could Liu Lang be so convenient, and greeted a few division commanders who were familiar with gifts, and the troops were mobilized in various defense areas. This can be regarded as a good place for Liu Lang and the independent group to go this time! If you are now in Songhu, the independent regiment, you wander around and look down, sit in Nanjing, open and close, and command Ruoding, and even ask the whereabouts of an infantry battalion, the big guy who doesn't chop off your head first, Liu Tuanzuo, and count you Liu Lang's protagonist with the military law, the halo of the protagonist is too shiny.

However, I'm afraid that even Liu Lang couldn't have imagined that when the military intelligence report placed on this table at noon arrived at the river valley to harvest happily, part of the content had already appeared on Kawagishi Bunzaburo's desk. It was General Huang who briefly mentioned the current battle situation at the military meeting in the afternoon, just to appease the hearts of the generals, and did not specify how many Japanese troops there were.

However, this was sufficient, and it was completely possible to reassure His Excellency, the Japanese Lieutenant General, who had lost 3,000 reinforcements again and was a little anxious.

The 129th Division of the Eighteenth Group Army, with only 13,000 troops, began to take advantage of the terrain to take advantage of the terrain to catch the idiot of Yoshio last month off guard, but if he said that he wanted to eat them in one bite and couldn't even send a telegram, that dream would be a little ridiculous, not to mention that he still had 3,000 reinforced infantry!

That's it, this field radio station is a little too anxious! As soon as you enter the mountainous area there, you can't receive or send a signal, and the stupid experts of the Imperial Ministry of Communications don't know how to design it.

The focus of His Excellency's scolding in the office this time is no longer his own subordinates, but has become a domestic ordnance researcher.

Not only did the battle report fool the superiors, but several reporters accompanying the army, including Liu Xueyuan, wrote the celebration drafts but did not send them, including reporting to the Red Central Committee, but they only used words such as "the battle is still going on, and our side has suffered very little losses", and did not report a great victory.

That is to say, in this lofty mountain, except for these 10,000 people, no one knows how big a victory they have won.

From 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., in just 11 hours, they wiped out more than 9,000 Japanese criminals.

The weight of the weapons seized is innumerable.

In the battle of the river valley alone, they captured more than 2,500 usable and damaged but repairable rifles, 21 intact light machine guns, 30 grenadiers, 5 heavy machine guns, two damaged but repairable infantry guns, and two intact mountain guns. There were 355 artillery shells, 450 grenades for grenades, more than 4,000 Japanese grenades, and more than 830,000 rounds of various machine rifle bullets.

Where the bundles of rifles are stacked, the machine guns glow with a faint blue light in the dim firelight, especially the two mountain guns that are placed intact, it looks so cute. Before, the red soldiers probably couldn't wait to eat, just looking at these treasures were full.

But this time, there was a precedent for the huge capture of more than 6,000 people in Qiqian Village, and more than 2,000 rifles and only 20 machine guns and two small cannons could no longer provoke their G-point.

On the contrary, Liu Tuanzuo waved his hand and sent all the ten major carts of more than 20,000 canned meat brought by the reinforcement army, which made them very happy.

Groups of soldiers sat around the bonfire in platoons, eating potato stewed fat and white rice and canned kimchi beef from the Quartermaster Department of the Independent Regiment and the cooking squads of the 129th Division, laughing and laughing.

Not only did there be rice and meat, but each infantry platoon also received three catties of liquor, but in fact, on average, each person was only less than one or two, which was purely to satisfy hunger. But that's already all the inventory that the quartermaster department of the independent regiment can transport, 1,500 catties of liquor, and a big truck can transport it!

"Come, Commander Liu, I salute you, and you and the Independent Regiment should be the first to take credit in this battle." Even the future military god, who has always been serious, held canned meat in one hand and a small half bowl of white wine in the other, and gave Liu Lang a glass.
