A few days later, a summary report of the battle was placed on Wang Bin's desk, which included all the main points of the battle, and the names of Liu Wangling and Chen Dongsheng appeared several times in the report.

In this observation report from Gu Chen, Gu Chen repeatedly mentioned the combat power of Liu Wangchen's mortar team and the soldiers led by Chen Dongsheng who practiced properly in peacetime, and did not make mistakes during the war, and was the first to rush into the bandits' lair, and the results were quite good.

There were more than 100 casualties in this crackdown, most of them were at the beginning of the war, these soldiers were injured because they were in a panic when they first went to the battlefield, and only a small number of soldiers died because they were hit by stray bullets.

Wang Bin, the deceased soldier, also made instructions at the back of the report, the pensions of these soldiers are all issued according to double, if the families of the soldiers still have any difficulties in life, they can come over, and the fifth town will subsidize them as appropriate, and the distribution of pensions will be personally responsible for Ma Zikai.

Some officers who performed well in this battle were also listed in this report, and Wang Bin also wrote down the names of these officers one by one, and when they were promoted in the future, they would naturally be appointed as soon as possible.

Wang Bin did not attach much importance to the battle process in the report, these battle processes are things that the officers below should pay attention to, and all he should pay attention to is the casualty rate and results and the results of the new tactics in this battle, but the results of the new tactics should not be summarized by these officers in person until the military meeting is held.

As for the results of this battle, Wang Bin also took a general look, a total of more than 200 mortar shells, 3,000 machine gun bullets, and 20,000 rifle bullets were consumed, while the bandits were killed more than 600 people, including more than 300 captured prisoners, and captured more than 900 guns of various types, more than 10,000 rounds of various bullets, and dozens of horses.

The only use of the above seizures is to trade arms, and the rest is worth mentioning that this time the bandits obtained a lot of money from the bandits' den, and after statistics, these finances are worth about 200,000 taels.

After seeing the finances obtained by the bandits, Wang Bin also sighed in his heart, but he didn't expect that this time the bandits would be worth the sum of the silver taels obtained by the bandits they had suppressed before.

"With this batch of money, I'm afraid that my fifth town will add a lot of mortars!" After Wang Bin put down the battle report, he immediately said to Ma Zikai, who came to deliver the war report, "This mortar officer thinks the more the better, you can go to the arsenal in a while, and let Sergey increase the production of the gun." ”

Ma Zikai on the side immediately said that he would handle this matter well after listening to Wang Bin's words, and when Ma Zikai came back, he heard many officers tell him that the newly invented mortar not only has a fast rate of fire, but also great power. Therefore, in Ma Zikai's view, adults will definitely increase the production of mortars.

"My lord, there is one more thing I want to report to you when I come here this time." After Ma Zikai promised to go to the arsenal to ask Sergei to increase the production of mortars, he said this to Wang Bin again.

"Tell me what's the matter?" Regarding Ma Zikai's words, Wang Bin just asked him to say it first.

Ma Zikai then spoke: "My lord's department went to Hutou Mountain this time and caught most of the bandit leaders in this western Liaoxi land, but I don't know what my lord is going to do?" ”

As soon as Ma Zikai said that Wang Bin remembered, the matter of the bandit leader had not yet been dealt with, and after pondering for a while, Wang Bin said: "Send all these bandit leaders to Xinmin Mansion, it should be regarded as a gift from our fifth town to Lord Zengqi. ”

Last time, Zengqi vaguely proposed in his report to the imperial court that he could expand the army, and this time he had to give Zengqi a meaning after exterminating the bandits in Liaoxi.

"The ministry knows, but there is one more thing that my lord has to deal with the bandits who were recruited this time, and those bandits who were captured always have to deal with it, right? ＇

Ma Zikai then raised another question. "Well, as for the bandits who have been recruited, they will set up a Jinzhou patrol battalion, and select qualified people to join them, if there are people who are unwilling to join, as long as they promise not to do evil, they can be given a severance pay of two taels of silver, and those captured bandits will also be escorted to Xinmin Mansion and handed over to Lord Zengqi for disposal."

Regarding the question raised by Ma Zikai, Wang Bin had already had a draft before, and the bandits in Zhao'an still promised the same as before, but they were not incorporated into the new army but the patrol battalion, and the captured bandits were handed over to Zengqi by the way, and they were also troubled by the way to deal with these bandits.

As for why those recruited bandits were not incorporated into the new army, this is another matter, it is really Wang Bin who does not dare to compliment the combat effectiveness of these recruited bandits, Wang Bi himself wants is not some kind of indiscriminate garbage army, what he needs is a new army with combat ability, those recruited bandits are at best the level of a patrol battalion, which is of little use, so just let these recruited bandits join the patrol battalion.

It's just that for these captured bandits, it is for Wang Bin to leave a lot of trouble for himself in the future.

After hearing Wang Bin's instructions, Ma Zikai responded and prepared to give these words to the people below.

At this moment, after talking about the disposal of these bandits, Wang Bin added another sentence to Ma Zikai, who was about to leave: "Also, since this post-war summary has come out, I ordered officers at all levels to come to the conference room tomorrow to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this battle." “

After Wang Bin said this, Ma Zikai left Wang Bin's office, after Ma Zikai left, Wang Bin was alone in the office to consider the content of tomorrow's military meeting, in Wang Bin's view, the content of tomorrow's meeting needs to make a positioning of the mortar, the usefulness of the mortar Now all the officers have already understood it, tomorrow these officers will inevitably have a dispute over the ownership of the mortar, and then they need to make a clear positioning of the mortar. Moreover, this time the operation reflected a hint of infantry and artillery coordination, and I had to point out this sign and put the concept of infantry and artillery coordination to these officers, so that my fifth town was already ahead of this era in terms of tactics!
