However, after the whole battle was calculated, it was Huaxia who suffered a big loss.

After all, Huaxia not only lost the strategic place of Liuzhuang, but also lost more than 50,000 people!

But the devil, the devil who acted as a bait lost more than 8,000 people, and the strong attack on Liu Zhuang lost more than 10,000 people, and the subsequent counterattack, the total losses were less than 10,000 people!

Nearly two-to-one battle damage!

However, half of the troops lost by the devils are just two devils!

But the Huaxia army lost more than 30,000 elites!

The Central Army alone lost more than 13,000 well-equipped and well-trained soldiers!

And the other factions have also lost the most elite troops they have placed in that area!

So on the whole, don't look at the battle loss ratio is only two to one, in fact, the losses on the Huaxia side are really much greater!

Even in the next more than half a month, in the battle around Liu Zhuang, Huaxia showed a one-sided disadvantage.

After all, the elite was completely lost, and the strategic location of Liuzhuang was lost, which made the surrounding Huaxia army too passive and powerless to resist at all!

A rout of Liu Zhuang led to the overall collapse of that area!

How is this not a basin of cold water?

No! It can even be said to be a basin of ice water!

extinguished the arrogance of many Huaxia commanders who were still complacent before!

Let them understand that the little advantage that the counteroffensive began to occupy was actually nothing at all.

For the whole battle, both sides have not yet had a battle that could lay the foundation for victory!

……

Outside Liu Zhuang, a team of more than 2,000 people is marching rapidly!

They were one of the Chinese troops who quickly returned to Liu Zhuang, but they encountered devils on the way, and they had a big battle, and they received an order that Liu Zhuang had been lost, so they were heading to another strategic place around Liu Zhuang at this time.

Hukou Valley!

Hukou Valley is the most important strategic base around Liuzhuang, because here, a large number of ammunition and shells are hoarded, and these armaments have just been transported from the mainland.

It is even possible to rely on these munitions for an effective engagement.

However, Liu Zhuang lost and made this plan a complete failure.

Moreover, the Governor's Department also had to worry about whether this hidden strategic base would be discovered by devils.

The two thousand people, including many other reinforcements, didn't even know what their mission was, they only knew that the order they received was to go to Hukou Valley to set up defenses!

……

"Quick, brothers, the speed is faster, it won't be so cold to run!"

One of the commanders shouted loudly, rubbing his frozen hands as he shouted.

Although it is said that their treatment this year is already the best, and when it is not yet winter, they have been allocated winter clothes by Yucheng Mansion, however, it is a little sad that their winter clothes were originally planned to be two sets, but because of the bombing of devils, the train transporting winter clothes was blown up.

A cart of supplies was directly gone, so throughout the winter, in fact, the soldiers could only rely on such a set of winter clothes on their bodies!

But it's okay, after all, anyway, at least, this winter didn't freeze to death a few people as before!

"Battalion commander, what are we going to do? On this cold day, we have to march in a hurry! ”

A veteran asked, rubbing his hands together.

The battalion commander glared at him: "As long as you talk a lot, an order is an order, what do you care about so much?" Just execute the command! By the way, you kid take a few people, go around and see if the devils are still following us, this group of damn little devils, it's not over yet, they've been chasing us for three days! ”

The battalion commander and this veteran obviously know each other, so you are not welcome at this time, don't look at this veteran has no rank, but in fact, in most cases, these veterans who have experienced countless battles are much more useful than those officers who have been supplemented.

They have really experienced life and death on the battlefield, and they are faced with many situations, and they may not be able to formulate tactics or anything at all, but their instinctive reactions can make the most effective choices.

"Why am I again!"

The veteran muttered, but didn't say much, but casually ordered a few soldiers and ran forward.

Almost all of the factions have their own system of promoting officials.

Some are promoted step by step by relying on military merits!

Some fancy military academy graduates!

And some purely rely on relationships to recommend each other.

As for this team, there is a recommendation system, and it can be said that unless the veteran really has a good relationship with his superiors, there is no chance of promotion at all.

After all, if a veteran wants to be promoted, the most important thing is to be appreciated by the superiors and have a recommender!

This veteran is like this, in fact, if he were to be replaced by a faction like Gui Jun that values military merit more, he would have been promoted to company commander enough.

But now, he is still a big soldier, but fortunately, he has a good relationship with the battalion commander now, and naturally sees the opportunity for promotion, so he will never disobey the battalion commander's orders in the slightest.

Five soldiers were ordered, and the veteran led them to the side, but in fact, their task was very simple, that is, to find a high ground that was conducive to observing the surrounding situation, and then look at the surrounding situation.

After all, if all the soldiers sent out like this can meet the devil, the devil will be too close.

When the veteran was about to set off, he went to a company commander who had a good relationship with him and borrowed a telescope, after all, it was much easier to observe with a telescope.

At the beginning, the speed of the six people was still very fast, after all, around the large army, there should not be any danger.

But as they went farther and farther, the speed of the six people naturally slowed down.

Soon, they came to the foot of a mountain, this mountain, which was the highest mountain around, and the veteran's original plan was to observe on this mountain, after all, standing on a high point, and seeing farther.

The snow has melted, but it is precisely because of the melting snow that the road surface is quite difficult to walk.

One of the fighters complained, "It's a hard road, damn it......"

"Be quiet, don't make a sound as much as possible, if there are devils around, we'll all be finished!"

The veteran spoke up, reminding the crowd to remain silent.

The six of them didn't speak, but walked quickly towards the front, but obviously, the other few people didn't feel anything about the veteran's words, perhaps in their eyes, they felt that the veteran's approach was too nervous.

Soon, they had climbed to the top of the mountain, which was not very high.

Standing at the top of the mountain, the six of them quickly looked for a suitable position to observe the surroundings.
