Chapter 157: After the Great War
The battle ended with a panicked retreat from Matsui's wing.
The three troops pursued the Japanese in three directions, and finally met at the mountain pass on the west side of Erlang Mountain.
Fearing that the Japanese army would have a receiving force, and that the retreat of the defeated army was also too fast, the three troops all chose to stop the pursuit and clear the battlefield on the spot.
It can be said that it is very rewarding.
Little Japan left behind more than 300 corpses and hundreds of wounded.
These hundreds of wounded were all seriously injured, and seeing that there was basically no hope of survival, some chose to commit suicide, and some chose to resist stubbornly and were directly killed.
There were about a dozen left, who wanted to die but didn't have the courage to commit suicide, and wanted to fight, but they didn't even have the strength to stand up, so they had to surrender obediently.
As for the materials discarded by Little Japan, they can basically be described as piles of piles. Not only weapons and ammunition, but also piles of food, medicine and bedding.
Lu Yao looked at the piles of materials like a small mountain, couldn't close his mouth happily, and said, "Lao Tzu really regrets it, I would have brought a few more carriages if I had known." β
The casualties of LΓΌ Yao's independent regiment in this battle were not light, more than 30 people were sacrificed, and nearly 100 were wounded, but most of them were lightly wounded.
Huang He looked at Lu Yao's appearance of being fascinated, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Commander Lu, we are here to help, Ye Liuye is the master of this Erlang Mountain, the master didn't speak, why are you in a hurry!" β
Huang He participated in the last battle of Jiajiawang, and also rested on Lu Yao's territory, and he was also an old acquaintance, so he joked with Lu Yao.
The provisional brigade of the Yellow River participated in this battle with more than 2,000 troops, and in the face of a small Japanese resistance by a large group, it had a double advantage in strength and firepower, but compared with the white-knuckle battle, the number of casualties was higher.
But the high ones are also limited. In this battle, more than 70 people were killed and more than 70 were wounded in the battle.
Comparatively speaking, the number of casualties in Ye Tufei's bandit battalion was much higher, the brothers were glorified by one hundred and forty or fifty people, and the number of those who hung the lottery was close to two hundred. However, most of this is created during the daytime guarding secret caves.
Combined, the total number of casualties was close to 700.
However, the number of casualties in Little Japan was not low, but there were more than 400 people left on the battlefield, and nearly 100 lightly wounded people fled with the rout, plus the casualties on the first day on the top of the mountain on both sides of the mountain pass and in the battle at the top of the Phoenix, the total number of casualties in Little Japan was far more than 600.
In this regard, Ye Tufei just sighed and muttered: "Luck! It's a fluke! β
In the face of Ye Tufei's emotion, Lu Yao and Huang He also had the same resonance, if it wasn't for the two men and horses attacking at the same time, and if it wasn't for Ye Tufei's special operations team that destroyed the command of Little Japan at the most critical moment, then what would be the result of this battle?
On second thought, if little Japan concentrates heavy forces to deal with itself alone, then how should it deal with it?
For a moment, all three of them fell into deep thought.
It was Ye Tufei who broke the silence: "Commander Lu, Brigade Commander Huang, let's hurry up and rest, and when the brothers are rested, I will invite everyone to drink wine and eat meat." β
Lu Yao smiled: "It's all like this, Brother Ye still has stock?" β
Huang He also smiled and said: "The brothers in these three aspects add up, there are no less than four thousand, Ye Liuye, do you still invite it?" β
Ye Tufei said with a smile: "Even if I cook Ye Tufei, I have to let the brothers eat and drink enough today!" β
At this time, Yan Xiwen rushed over, holding a box made of tin in his hand, and shouted from afar: "You guys are here, hurry up and taste it, this little Japanese canned beef is really not bad!" β
Ye Tufei tasted it, it felt really good, and when he wanted to take another bite, Yan Xiwen had already thrown away the empty canned food box.
"Gone? Just such a box? Ye Tufei was still unsatisfied, and asked unwillingly.
Yan Xiwen laughed and replied, "There are more than 100 boxes piled up over there, and there must be at least fifty or sixty boxes in one box." β
Ye Tufei turned his face to Huang He and smiled: "There is no endless road in this day, what you said is really right." The bandit camp was about to be wiped out by Little Japan, but as a result, you two big saviors arrived. Ye Tufei said that he would invite the brothers to drink wine and eat meat, and saw that the cowhide was about to burst, but as a result, the canned beef from Little Japan helped. β
Lu Yao suddenly turned up and said, "Ye Tufei, don't be complacent too early, this meat is solved, and what about the wine?" Four thousand brothers! If you don't have two or three thousand catties of old burning, how can you drink enough! β
Yan Xiwen replied for Ye Tufei: "It's normal for us to lack anything in Erlang Mountain, but it's not normal to lack alcohol, not to mention two or three thousand catties of soju, Commander Lu, let's just make up a little bit, and let the brothers of your independent regiment bring back ten catties and eight catties alone, do you believe it or not?" β
Lu Yao opened his mouth exaggeratedly and said, "So good? You Erlang Mountain is a wine shop? β
Ye Tufei smiled: "I was really guessed by you." As he spoke, he beckoned a brother over and instructed, "Inform Guo Lao Er that the wine cellar will be set up today, and let Commander Lu and Brigade Commander Huang taste the new wine of our Erlang Mountain." β
The brothers rested for a morning, and at noon, a large pot of meat and vegetables, a large basket of cornmeal buns, were placed in front of the brothers.
In the conference hall, Ye Tufei and Zhang Luohui sat at both ends of the table, on the left were Lu Yao, Yan Xi, Wenwei to the east, and on the right were Huang He and his three regiment leaders.
As soon as the wine bowl was served, Ye Tufei suddenly thought of Han Hongxun, so he inquired to the Yellow River: "Brigade Commander Huang, that, how is that Brother Han doing?" β
As soon as the words fell, before Huang He could think about how to answer, he heard a brother report at the door, saying that Master Han was coming.
As soon as the brother finished reporting, he heard Han Hongxun's unique laughter.
"Oh, yo, there is wine and meat, it seems that I, Han Hongxun, have come to the right place!"
In response to the voice, Han Hongxun entered the room.
After looking at it, Han Hongxun went straight to Lu Yao's side, sat down, smiled at Lu Yao, and said, "Old Han, I'll sit with ** today, Lao Lu, you ** won't say that you are a country, right?" β
Lu Yao blinked, and then he understood that what Han Hongxun said about Tongguo was corresponding to his crime of colluding with the Communist Party, so he smiled and said: "If you don't say it, I won't say it, and the brothers here don't want to say it, whether he is a communist or a bandit, let's eat and drink it all today!" β
Han Hongxun laughed and said, "Well said! Just by virtue of your old Lu's words, what you owe me before will be written off! β
Lu Yao was puzzled and asked, "What do I owe you?" β
Han Hongxun laughed again and said, "I have been in your treasure land for more than half a month, you old Lu is a stingy ghost, and you haven't invited me for a drink, do you say you owe me?" also took so many weapons and ammunition from me through Brother Ye, and made me bear the charge of colluding with the Communist Party, you Lao Lu said with a conscience, do you owe me Han Hongxun a big deal? β
Lu Yao also laughed, poured Han Hongxun full of wine, picked up his wine bowl again, touched it with Han Hongxun, and said: "In Yimeng Mountain, that is our old Lu is too shabby, I can't afford to invite Master Han, today I borrowed Ye Liuye's wine, my old Lu Jing Han Master is long!" As he spoke, a bowl of wine tilted his neck and dried up.
Not to be outdone, Han Hongxun also drank the wine in the bowl, and then sandwiched a piece of meat, put it in Lu Yao's bowl, and said with a smile: "Having said that, I have to thank you Lao Lu, those weapons and ammunition only play their due role when they are in your hands, hehe, little Japan has suffered a lot!" β
Huang He dismantled the platform on the opposite side and said: "What! Commander Lu played a white-knuckle battle for little Japan, and he was not willing to use those weapons and ammunition at all. β
Han Hongxun gave Lu Yao a thumbs up and said, "Dare to play white-knuckle battle with Little Japan!" Okay, Lao Lu, my old Han admires, come, I salute you for this wine! β
A dozen or so people came and went, and soon killed two jars of soju.
Ye Tufei said hello, and the brothers hurriedly brought two more altars.
Han Hongxun stopped the brother who was about to help open the altar, and said to everyone: "Don't worry! Guys, listen to me and say a few more words, let's not be too late to drink. β
Everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks, and listened to Han Hongxun say: "I heard that after this battle, Brother Ye was lucky, is that so?" β
Ye Tufei nodded silently.
Han Hongxun said again: "It's really a fluke!" Commander Lu, in terms of the battlefield situation, if his temporary brigade on the Yellow River did not attack Little Japan from the east, are you sure that you will join forces with Brother Ye to defeat Little Japan? β
Lu Yao thought for a moment, shook his head, and replied, "It's good to be able to rescue Brother Ye." β
Han Hongxun turned to Huang He and asked, "If it weren't for Commander Lu and Brother Ye fighting to the death with Little Japan behind their backs, would you be able to break through Little Japan's defense?" β
Huang He replied truthfully: "Yes! But it's going to be tough, maybe it's still going to be a desperate struggle! β
Han Hongxun looked around, smiled, and said, "However, the three parties joined forces, but they defeated a Japanese army!" Although this Japanese army wing is only a C division, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the A division on the Xuzhou battlefield that year, it is also a small Japanese army of 2,000 after all! What is it called? This is called brotherly unity, and its benefits are golden! β
Lu Yao stood up and said, "The most important thing is that Brother Ye's special operations team has the command post of Little Japan, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to win so happily!" β
Ye Tufei sighed and said, "From the end of the battle until now, I have been thinking about a question, there seems to be something missing between us!" β
Han Hongxun stretched out his thumb to Ye Tufei and said, "That's right! There's something missing between us. β
Lu Yao smiled: "It's the contact information!" The communication between us is too poor. β
Ye Tufei also stood up and said, "There is still trust." I'm too arrogant in this battle, otherwise, I would have fought more beautifully! β
Han Hongxun said with a smile: "Eat a trench and grow wise, Brother Ye, fighting Little Japan is not just your Ye Tufei's business, nor is it just his ** Kuomintang's business, fighting Little Japan is the business of all Chinese!" We must join forces. β
Lu Yao slapped the table and said, "Yes! We must join forces, with Brother Ye's tactical thinking, with Commander Han's weapons and ammunition, and with our ** mass base, Little Japan wants to take advantage of us? He is a grandmother, dream of it! β
