Liu Hong then picked up the list of captured trophies and took a look, and the Eighth Route Army had captured more than 3,500 rifles and more than 200 light and heavy machine guns. There were more than 100 grenadiers, more than 40 light and heavy mortars, 12 infantry guns, and 12 mountain guns.

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said, "Twelve mountain cannons have been captured, these are all good things!" It is difficult to capture so many intact mountain guns in peacetime, and the shells are quite abundant. ”

Wu Feng smiled and said, "But isn't it? Liang Yongsheng's kid's mouth was crooked with happiness. But this time it was also a fluke, the artillery position of the little devil was not far from the baggage camp, and it was in the southeast direction. As soon as the poison gas spread, it was blown directly to the artillery position by the wind, and the little devil saw that the situation was not good, so he was so frightened that he ran away directly, and threw all these cannons and shells on the position, and in the end they all became our trophies. ”

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said: "These cannons in our hands are enough to form an artillery regiment, but unfortunately the cultivation of artillery talents is relatively difficult, not everyone can be a qualified artilleryman, which requires a certain amount of professional knowledge, and you can learn if you don't understand this." On the other hand, it's talent, if you don't have talent, it's useless to learn. ”

Liu Hong sighed softly when he said this, and then continued: "Of course, these are not the most important things. We have a large Chinese population, even if we pick one in a hundred, we can pick out enough people. The most important thing is that we basically can't produce these shells, even the arsenal of the headquarters can produce shells, but the output is limited, and even if they are produced, there is still a big gap between the quality and the shells of the little devils. ”

Liu Hong paused, and then said: "Shells are consumables, and they are gone when they are finished, so we can't produce them ourselves, so we can only rely on capture, but we don't have such good luck every time." For example, we were in Hengshui before, and we also captured a lot of cannons, but after fighting for so long, the little devils were almost exhausted of the shells, and we only captured a small number of cannonballs, and cannons without cannonballs are not much stronger than scrap iron. The serious shortage of industrial production capacity is the biggest obstacle to the development of our troops. ”

Wu Feng sighed deeply and said, "But this is not a problem that can be solved in a while!" ”

"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded and said, "Everything has to come step by step, let's not talk about this first." ”

Liu Hong continued to look at the list as he spoke, and said with a smile: "There are indeed a lot of materials seized this time, except for a small number that have been burned, most of the materials brought by the little devils have become our trophies." ”

Wu Feng smiled and said, "Yes! With so much material captured, especially so many weapons and ammunition, our troops can be further expanded, and the scope of our base areas can also be further expanded. ”

Liu Hong waved his hand and said, "These are all afterwords, do you know what I'm thinking now?" ”

"What is it?" Wu Feng asked with a puzzled expression.

"Smack~!" Liu Hong slapped a list on the table.

Wu Feng glanced down, this list is the list of casualties of the Eighth Route Army, these lists were given to Liu Hong by Wu Feng, and he had already seen them before.

Wu Feng just glanced at it, the smile on his face immediately froze, and he said with a sad face: "Our casualties this time are indeed not small, our martial arts team and the 11th Teaching Regiment have sacrificed a total of more than 600 soldiers, and more than 500 people were injured, of which nearly 200 were seriously injured. The medical staff are doing their best to treat the wounded, but fortunately we have seized a large number of medicines, including some medical equipment, which can minimize the casualties of the troops. ”

Wu Feng paused, and then said: "Although our casualties are not small, they are not too many compared to the little devils we have eliminated. ”

Liu Hong waved his hand and said: "You can't say that, those little devils who are dogs deserve to die, they all deserve it." ”

Liu Hong took a puff of cigarette as he spoke, a puff of white smoke came out of his mouth, and he said angrily: "Endo Kanan, this old thing, is really bold, he dares to blatantly attack our base area, causing us such a huge loss. As the saying goes, we must avenge this revenge! ”

When Liu Hong said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "Although we won this time, but in the end, we were beaten by little devils!" If you don't fight back, that's not my style! And recently, the little devils in the vicinity are also a little rampant, in order to limit the development of our base area, they began to build a large number of turret strongholds around us, not only some of the strongholds we attacked before have been repaired, but also built a number of new strongholds. What does the little devil want to do? Isn't it just trying to lock us up? Lao Tzu wants to break his shackles today. ”

The more Liu Hong spoke, the more excited he became, and then said: "Lao Tzu just let his little devil know that our Eighth Route Army is not so easy to bully, if he dares to come to fight us, we will dare to fight back." I want them to know that these strongholds near our base area, even the little devils in the county town, are a piece of meat on Lao Tzu's mouth, and Lao Tzu can eat them whenever he wants. ”

Seeing that Liu Hong's anger was getting bigger and bigger, Wu Feng hurriedly persuaded him: "You dissipate your anger first!" In recent days, the little devils around have indeed been a little rampant, aren't they relying on Kanan Endo to support them? Now that Kanan Endo's main forces have been defeated by us, we can free up our hands to clean them up. It's just one thing, the army has just experienced a big battle, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to have a large-scale battle in a short time, after all, our soldiers also need to recuperate! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded and said: "I naturally know this, and if you want to do it, you have to wait a few days to talk about it, I am telling you this now, just to make you a little prepared." ”

"Good!" Wu Feng nodded and said, "I have written down this matter, and I will start preparing as soon as possible." ”

Liu Hong finished a cigarette, threw the cigarette butt to the ground, yawned and said, "I'm really a little sleepy, if it's okay, I'll go back to sleep first." You've been busy for the past two days, so I don't think you're sleepy at all. ”

"Haha~!" Wu Feng laughed and said: "I was excited at the thought of having captured so much loot, and I couldn't sleep with joy. Since you are sleepy, go back and rest early. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded, got up and walked out, and said casually: "You should also rest early!" Staying up late is not good for your health. ”
