The winter night came very early, the already silent battlefield was gradually shrouded in the gray night, the smoke of gunpowder in the sky was still rising and drifting in the cold wind, the pungent smell of burnt paste mixed with the heavy smell of blood permeated everywhere, as far as the eye could see, the corpses everywhere were lying in the slush melted by the high temperature, the spears that were deeply rooted in the human body shook in the wind, and the pools of blood and water accumulated in the low recesses gradually began to freeze, and the occasional neighing of a war horse made the whole space seem more solemn and miserable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Shi "Haoyi stood at the height of the main position in the north of Butterfly Ditch, his face tense, overlooking the battlefield under his feet. Silently watched as the officers and soldiers under his command carefully identified and gathered their own corpses on the scorched ground. Twenty minutes ago, there was a bare-headed squadron commander standing in the place where he stood, and at the moment before he left, the bare-headed commander slowly pulled out his long knife and pointed at Ishikawa Koichi who was shaking to the south and was closely observing with a telescope, and tied a red knife and pointed at Ishikawa Koichi for dozens of seconds before the bald commander withdrew surrounded by all his men.

A heavy sigh sounded, and the new wing commander behind Koichi Shi, Junji Nakasa, said in a low voice: "Ishikawa-kun, this is the fiercest battle I have fought since I joined the army, and it is also the most tragic battle since the establishment of my 7th Independent Mixed Brigade.

It is unimaginable that the backward squadron ** could have such excellent officers and soldiers and equipment? If the other squadrons were like this unit, when would the grand plan of our Great Japanese Empire be realized?"

Koichi Ishikawa nodded slightly, still looking at the battlefield full of holes: "Yes! Fortunately, there are not many such troops, only about 50,000 people in three divisions, and all of them are under the command of the famous enemy general An Yi. And we had the pleasure of meeting one of them today. This is definitely not a bad thing for our brigade. In this battle, the task of Rafthara-kun's wing is the heaviest and the most difficult, is it counted? ”

"The 4,100 officers and men of this wing are all veterans who have been in the army for more than three years, and now there are only more than 2,600 officers and men left, and preliminary statistics show that the entire brigade has killed more than 2,700 people and wounded more than 3,600 people, and the casualties have exceeded two-thirds. Among them, there are only 1,100 soldiers left in the Ishii Brigade who are responsible for the frontal attack, and more than 30 commanders such as Ishii-kun are all broken," Junji Hanahara, who was already forty-one, shook his head again and again, and closed his mouth as if he couldn't bear to say more.

Koichi Ishikawa turned around and stared into the eyes of Chopakihara: "Koshihara-kun, the enemy occupies an advantageous terrain and has a large number of automatic weapons that surpass us, and still pays a price comparable to mine. Look, there are no less than 2,000 enemy corpses on the battlefield in front of you. The countless wounded people who walked slightly showed that we did not fall into disadvantage in this battle. Another one. This force that fought to the death with us was by no means the strength of more than one brigade, and judging from the distribution of their battlefields and the organization of their battles, they were divided into three main regiments. The total number of people is not under 5,000, and there are two regiments of nearly 3,000 auxiliary troops, which is equivalent to a division of the squadron, and it is the most elite main force in the squadron. According to my original calculation. It is very reluctant to pay such a huge price to launch a strong attack, but the military order is like a mountain, and it can only be resolutely implemented. I hope that Hanahara-kun and the lords of the headquarters can understand the unspeakable suffering

"Hey!"

Chopakihara replied respectfully, full of respect and gratitude for Ishikawa's abundance and ability.

At 8:40 p.m., the former enemy headquarters in Tangshan, Beiping.

After the good news sent by Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao was read out, An Yi waved his hand to the overjoyed brothers: "Everyone sit down," This hard-fought campaign to annihilate tens of thousands of enemies is the first and greatest victory achieved by our army after the Northern Expedition, which is enough to make the people proud and shine in the annals of history.

"But you should see that too. Among them, there were only more than 3,800 Japanese troops annihilated by us. The total number of puppet troops annihilated was as high as more than 8,000 people, and the total number of Japanese troops on the Western Front, which had reached 40,000, did not receive a decisive blow, and within three days, the Japanese army would readjust and continue their strategic operations.

"What about our two main divisions? In the battles of frequently attacking the 4th Brigade on the left flank of the Japanese army on the western front and attacking the transportation lines behind the enemy, the 2nd Division, which had just been reorganized, achieved the results of destroying more than 300 enemy personnel and seizing several batches of supplies, but also sacrificed more than 5 people. More than 800 people were wounded, and in the process of assisting the 44th Division to complete the battle, it also paid a heavy price of more than 1,700 killed and more than 2,000 wounded. Looking at the 44th Division, although the other brigades suffered minor casualties due to their different combat missions, the main force of the 44th Division was 13. The brigade was basically disabled, 2,100 brothers were sacrificed, and almost all of the remaining 3,600 brothers were wounded. ”

All the brothers put away their smiling faces, savored the deep meaning of An Yi's words, and soon found that the army they were extremely proud of was in combat effectiveness and presence compared with the Japanese army

An Yi continued: "There is also a harsh reality, everyone must understand that only our two divisions in the entire western Liaoning can confront the Japanese army in this way, and the other anti-Japanese forces are too scattered, and the scale is also after the Japanese army marched into Chaoyang on a large scale, most of the anti-Japanese forces either retreated north or west, and the combat strength of the remaining local anti-Japanese armed forces is almost negligible. And they all seem to be watching from the sidelines, and they can no longer contain the strength of the Japanese puppet army for our army and fight together.

"Under such circumstances, it is difficult for our two divisions, which have just experienced a series of major battles, to delay the southward pace of the Japanese army, that is to say, it is difficult for our two divisions to play a strategic role in the overall situation. Therefore. My opinion is that let Hutou and Jiu Ge lead the brothers to withdraw to rest, they have done their best, and they are already well-deserved national heroes! ”

All the brothers agreed with An Yi's opinion, and the director of the Political Department asked unwillingly: "Commander, so let's not make a big deal of propaganda about this battle?" ”

"Yes! We can't let the officers and men of the 44th Division and the 2nd Division be wronged! Liu Qing immediately agreed, and all the brothers also asked for credit for the soldiers of the two divisions.

An Yi told everyone to be quiet: "Propaganda is certain, and we must vigorously publicize it, even if we don't publicize it, the Central Committee and Chairman Jiang will publicize it with great fanfare."

But we can't do what some troops do, killing three Japanese soldiers and one of the Japanese soldiers who led the team. The puppet army of the battalion formed a rope team, and it claimed to the people of the world that "500 Japanese soldiers and puppet troops were eliminated in one fell swoop" and then it was rendered in the newspapers, as if 500 Japanese troops had been killed. It has created the bad habit of the officers and men to rejoice in their achievements and deceive the superiors and subordinates, and has created a mood of blind optimism among the people.

"We must seek truth from facts, just like the battle report I sent to the Central Military Commission and the chairman half an hour ago, and tell the entire campaign in detail, killing as many Japanese soldiers as there are, and killing as many puppet troops as there are puppet troops, and we must not be vague and deceive ourselves to obtain honors that do not belong to us.

"We can't care about what other troops do, but our Anjia army must have iron discipline and the spirit of seeking truth from facts, otherwise, our team will metamorphose, and what we will lose in the future will be a hundred times more than what we gain!"

When the brothers saw An Yi's rare strictness, they were all awe-inspiring, nodding frequently, and after thinking about it carefully, they quickly understood An Yi's good intentions, the reason why An Jiajun is different from other troops, the most important thing is that it has been in the army. We have always insisted on instilling in the officers and men the following truth: Be a down-to-earth person, train diligently, and serve the country wholeheartedly.

Five o'clock in the morning the next day. Fifty-two kilometers southwest of Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. Daiwang Mountain.

The torches in the Daiwang Temple were connected, the bonfire was blazing, and Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao in the side hall were still discussing with more than ten brigade commanders and regiment commanders whether to retreat.

Due to the arduous efforts of more than 20,000 officers and men of the two divisions, the Japanese troops on the Western Front were unable to occupy Jianping County, the transportation hub of the south, as they wished, and the road of advance and retreat remained unimpeded. The more than 2,000 seriously wounded who began to retreat south in the first half of the night were sent to Lingyuan through Jianping. After this battle, the two divisions suffered heavy battle losses, and the long-term and high-intensity snow lurking and rapid marching in the wilderness plus a series of battles, the officers and men of the two divisions lost nearly half of their personnel due to battle deaths and various injuries and diseases.

Yang Jiuxiao's only second division general was very reluctant to leave his homeland. Despite the fact that one has already been created. Victory, become a famous national hero troops, but the deep desire in their hearts is still restless, the Japanese do not leave the Northeast for a day, the pain in their hearts will not be reduced, in the hearts of these sincere men and thousands of soldiers in the Northeast, nothing can affect their emotions and nerves more than the hatred of the country and the family.

The long silence of the brothers made Gu Changfeng's mood very heavy, and he could understand the emotions and thoughts of the second senior brother. As long as they remain on the land of western Liaoning for one day, they will be able to cause one more day of scruples to the Japanese army, and they can also fight the cruel and barbaric invaders in the most direct and enjoyable way, and vent the surging hatred in their hearts.

"Report, Brigade Commander Wang and the third brother have returned." The star officer walked to the door of the side hall and reported loudly.

"Come in, please".

Yang Jiuxiao didn't wait for Gu Changfeng to stand up before giving an order, and hurriedly greeted him to find out, and all the generals stood up and hurriedly greeted him.

In one three. At the insistence of the brigade commander Wang Xulun, Gu Changfeng sent a special detachment to escort him back to the battlefield, and took one last look at the brothers who had died in battle who had to be temporarily abandoned there.

Soon. Wang Xulun, who was covered in frost and snow, and Wang Wei, the leader of the detachment, were helped in by the brothers, and Wang Xulun saw Gu Changfeng as soon as he saw him. pounced, hugged Gu Changfeng tightly and cried:

"Big brother and little Japan have cut off all the heads of our brothers, and many brothers have been stripped naked and disemboweled, and none of them are all corpses,"
