In addition, all the officers of the Japanese were killed except for the seriously wounded Lieutenant General Suzuki Shigeyasu, and the commander of the 12th Division, Lieutenant General Uemura Seitaro, was also on the list of killed.

At the same time, this battle was a major battle in which the most Japanese troops were destroyed, the most Japanese soldiers killed, and the most devils captured since the instructor embarked on the battlefield of resistance against Japan.

In this battle, the 12th Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 11th Brigade were all wiped out by the instructor, and the 5th Division of the North China Front Army and the 2nd Brigade and the 15th Brigade of the Chahar Dispatch Column were eliminated before, and the Japanese army has already had six main forces eliminated by the instructor as a formation, and the instructor can be said to be the nemesis of the imperial army.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Cheng soon received the post-war report sorted out by the logistics department, and seeing the number 3,500 in the casualty report, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little distressed even if his heart was as hard as iron.

In this battle, the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Brigades undertook the main combat defense, and the casualties were mainly caused by these units, especially the 7th and 8th Brigades, which had a large number of recruits, and the casualties of these two brigades alone exceeded half of the casualties of the entire division.

However, although the casualties were huge, the results achieved were the most fruitful in all the battles in which the instructor wiped out a total of 40,875 Japanese soldiers, captured 1,328 wounded Japanese soldiers, and voluntarily surrendered to the instructor 174 prisoners; In addition, the instructor also killed 4,865 puppet Mongolian soldiers and captured 15,381 prisoners.

As for the seizure of weapons and materials, it was an astronomical amount, first of all, the combat vehicles and heavy artillery captured from the Japanese army, although most of the Japanese combat vehicles were destroyed by the instructor, but there are still more than 20 vehicles that are not very damaged, and at least more than 10 vehicles can still be used if they are repaired in time.

The situation of heavy artillery is similar to that of combat vehicles, and there are about seven or eight 155-mm howitzers that can still be repaired, more than 20 howitzers and cannons of more than 100 mm in total, and more than 40 mountain guns, field guns, and mortars with a caliber of less than 100 mm.

Most of these cannons only damaged some parts and barrels, and with the strong technical force of the Yulin Arsenal today, most of them are repaired as before.

In addition, the instructor also captured a large number of grenadiers and heavy machine guns from the Japanese army, and these weapons are still a very powerful supplement to the instructor, especially the grenadier canister, which played a very large role in the instructor before the development of the rocket launcher in the Yulin Arsenal.

As for the crooked handle machine gun and the three-eight big cover, it can be described as a mountain of piles. According to preliminary statistics, 658 crooked machine guns were captured from the Japanese army, while nearly 40,000 were 38 large covers and 30,000 bayonets.

At the same time, the instructor captured more than 8,000 war horses from the puppet Mongolian army, although the role of the cavalry brigade after the instructor had an armored brigade was greatly reduced, but Zhang Cheng's thirst for war horses still increased unabated, plus after the change of clothes, the burden of the troops was heavier, with so many war horses to add in, the pressure on the baggage troops could be greatly reduced.

After reading the post-war report, Zhang Cheng and the commanders of various departments briefly summed up the problems in the battle, praised the troops that performed well, and then drafted a telegram to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army together with the political commissar.

In the early morning of the next day, after receiving the telegram from the instructor, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army unsurprisingly fell into a carnival, and the commander-in-chief, the old man, went into a juvenile frenzy, and drove to the Xinhua People's Radio Station in spite of the bitter cold of the spring morning, and once again reported to the people of the whole country the great news of the instructor's victory in Baotou.

The news of Baotou's victory was like a spring breeze warming the country, driving away the chill from the people of the whole country, and making the hearts of the people of the whole country hot and happy.

Soon, the major cities of the country were once again in a carnival, with people singing and dancing to frantically celebrate the great victory of the teacher, and the joyous atmosphere was even more lively than the New Year.

It's just that after Chang Kaishen in Nanjing City received the news of the victory of the tutor, his mood was no longer as wonderful as the previous times.

Niang Hippi!

Although this instructor is under the leadership of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, after all, it belongs to the ranks of the Workers' and Peasants' Party, and in the general environment of the defeat and retreat of the Central Army of the Kuomintang, the instructor's successive victories are a little dazzling in Chang Kaishen's eyes.

When he just learned that the Japanese Kwantung Army would send 60,000 troops to encircle and suppress the instructor, although he should not be a leader, in fact, deep down in his heart, Chang Kaishen came to see the Baotou defense battle with a gloating mentality, and he hoped that both sides would lose and die cleanly.

The result was surprising, in the eyes of everyone, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, who was not superior in strength and equipment, won a complete victory, and none of the more than 60,000 Japanese puppet troops escaped the net, and all of them were wiped out.

Stimulated by the teacher's victory again, Chang Kaishen vowed to lead the Kuomintang army to change its mind and prove that the Kuomintang army could also defeat the Japanese army.

For this reason, he exerted greater pressure on the main generals of the various units who were about to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou, demanding that they must achieve outstanding performances in the Battle of Xuzhou, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law.

Changchun, Kwantung Army Headquarters.

After receiving the news of the annihilation of the 12th Division, the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, and the 11th Brigade, General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army, who had always given a gentle impression, was furious, and he ruthlessly dispatched the two orderlies over trivial matters.

It's just that no matter how angry General Ueda Kenkichi is, it can't change the fact that one division and two independent mixed brigades of the Kwantung Army were completely annihilated.

What made General Kenkichi Ueda feel even more aggrieved was that even if the instructor wiped out the main force of more than 40,000 people of the Kwantung Army, he, as the commander of the Kwantung Army, could not help them for a while.

At this time, the Kwantung Army did not develop to the strength of up to one million troops at its peak, and although the strength of the Kwantung Army now has 300,000 troops, it is still overstretched to garrison this huge northeast.

Especially since the "September 18 Incident", the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation has been active in the white mountains and black waters, constantly sneaking up and destroying the strongholds of the Japanese army, which is impossible to prevent.

In order to exterminate the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, the Kwantung Army invested a very large number of troops and achieved relatively large results. However, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation is like a weed on the grassland, wildfires cannot be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, and it will always recur, which is a headache.

The Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation is still only a disease of ringworm, and the heart of the Kwantung Army is still the Soviet Red Army, and General Ueda Kenkichi believes that the Far East is too small to accommodate the two hegemons, and sooner or later the Imperial Army and the Soviet Union will have a war.

With the Soviet Union on his side, General Ueda Kenkichi did not dare to send troops to attack the Eighth Route Army, so he could only forcibly swallow the bitter fruit of the annihilation of the 12th Division, and secretly swore in his heart that once the troops were surplus, he would definitely go to Baotou again, wipe out all the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, and wash away the shame of the previous defeat.
