When the Japanese army was puzzled but glad for the inexplicable retreat of the Eighth Route Army, He Zhengdao, who also ordered the troops to start a concealed rest, looked at the battle reports handed in by the various units, and also began to guess the losses of the 12th Division tonight.

For tonight's results, He Zhengdao is generally very satisfied. Coupled with the several Japanese infantry squadrons that had been wiped out by the cavalry and blocking forces before, He Zhengdao guessed that they had killed and wounded at least 5,000 little devils last night.

According to the previous assessment of the strength of the 12th Division, He Zhengdao felt that at this moment, there were only less than 10,000 soldiers in the Japanese camp in Kongjiagou. Even after a sneak attack like tonight, it is estimated that the Japanese army will be full of wounded soldiers again.

Even the elite divisions of the Japanese army, the battlefield medical support is more complete than that of the Eighth Route Army. But in this era, there are no mobile medical ambulances, and many wounded soldiers who cannot perform surgery can only wait for death.

The most important thing, even the Japanese army, they also lack a lot of special medicines. Drugs like sulfonamides for the treatment of bacterial infections are not much in stock. After all, this drug has not been in clinical use for long.

Penicillin, which is similar to anti-infection, is still under development, and it will take a relatively long time to enter the clinical use stage. On the other hand, the medical and chemical group of the Eighth Route Army is now in the process of developing it.

Although He Zhengdao had never developed penicillin, he knew that it was a special anti-infective drug than sulfonamide. He even knew a little about penicillin cultivation. These known things can greatly reduce the research time of the research group.

At least in He Zhengdao's view, if the Eighth Route Army can develop penicillin, a special drug, the wounded of the troops in the future will also greatly reduce the possibility of suffering from explosive infection, and can also greatly reduce the casualty rate of the troops.

The most important thing is that if the Eighth Route Army can successfully cultivate penicillin strains and produce them in large quantities before the United States. Then this special medicine is believed to bring a lot of economic income to the Eighth Route Army.

After all, the birth of penicillin helped the Allies achieve the final victory in World War II to some extent. This special anti-infective drug did greatly reduce the casualty rate of the Allied forces, making it famous in World War II.

He Zhengdao, who came from later generations, also saw in many spy war dramas in the late stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and saw that the intelligence department of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought to the death again and again with the spy department of the little devil in order to protect this special medicine.

But for He Zhengdao, since he knew that this special medicine would be of great benefit to the troops, why didn't he think of a way to create it? If it can be built in advance, it will benefit the Eighth Route Army and even the anti-Japanese war troops in China!

What's more, according to the history known to He Zhengdao, the Eighth Route Army, which entered the late stage of the Anti-Japanese War, also under the guidance of foreign doctors who aided China, finally developed penicillin, a special drug, through continuous exploration.

The full number of wounded soldiers is a very demoralizing thing for any army. The most important thing is that for these wounded soldiers, the Japanese troops who were blocked in the Kongjia ditch were afraid that they would not be able to make the decision to abandon them.

If they continue to choose to break out tomorrow, perhaps these wounded soldiers will be abandoned. But for those Japanese soldiers who are still alive, what will they think when they see these wounded soldiers ignored?

At least in He Zhengdao's view, many times when the special combat team attacks the little devils, they often like to seriously injure the little devils, but leave the other party with a broken life. In this way, it can also effectively inflict non-combat attrition on the little devils.

The artillery bombardment and armored assault of the independent column tonight are believed to have not only caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army, but also added a lot of wounded baggage to the 12th Division. By tomorrow, these wounded soldiers should be a headache for their commanders.

Compared with the wounded soldiers of the independent column, they were sent to the rear hospital overnight for treatment. Now the wounded Japanese soldiers who are surrounded in Kongjiagou, except for the medical soldiers attached to the division and regiment to treat them, they are afraid that they will not be able to think of too many better ways.

Thinking of He Zhengdao here, he looked at Jiang Shan beside him and said: "Tomorrow, you don't need to arrange too many people on the blocking position, tell us the troops in the blocking position, if the little devil breaks through tomorrow, let go of the road after a proper blockade."

We have such a dozen tonight, and it is estimated that whether the little devil can continue to break through tomorrow is a question worth considering. The most important thing is that tomorrow it is estimated that the little devil's plane will still rush over for reinforcements.

If we arrange too many troops in the blocking position, I believe it will also cause a lot of casualties. In this case, we only need to control the breakthrough route of the little devils, and we don't have to block them too hard, and let them take a breath appropriately.

I want to see if these little devils will continue to break through tomorrow. If they break through, what choice will they make when they should be full of wounded soldiers at this time? We don't have any medicine to treat these wounded soldiers! ”

'Commander, do you mean that tomorrow it is possible for the little devils to abandon those wounded soldiers and continue to break through? ’

After listening to He Zhengdao's words, Jiang Shan, as the division commander, also knew that there might be such a possibility. It's just that as the division commander, Jiang Shan knows very well that he has to abandon these wounded soldiers ruthlessly, which is probably a very cruel thing.

Facing Jiang Shan's inquiry, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "This is just a guess on my part, if the commander of the little devil really makes such a decision." From the commander's point of view, this is not a strange thing.

In this case, as a commander, you still have to think more about those who survived. If the entire 12th Division is completely annihilated by us, then they will only be removed from the Japanese army's division and regimental establishment.

It's just that last night, for today's breakthrough, I believe that many soldiers did not get a good rest. Tonight, we were harassed all night like this. How long do you think their spirit can last?

If they don't leave tomorrow during the day, they will at least get a good day's rest. But if they don't leave tomorrow, when the Second Division arrives, tomorrow will be the day when we will annihilate them all. This choice is indeed quite cruel! ”

As far as He Zhengdao is concerned, whether or not the 12th Division will break through tomorrow, for the independent column, it is only a matter of time. With a group of tired soldiers to break through, I believe they don't have much power to fight back.

If they don't break through tomorrow, He Zhengdao won't give them another day. Annihilating the 12th Division, their independent column should also take a good rest, and seize the time to digest the fruits of victory in this battle!

After arranging tomorrow's combat mission, He Zhengdao found a marching bed in the command room and squinted briefly. As the commander of the independent column, He Zhengdao also worked very hard, eating and sleeping almost in the command headquarters.

Fortunately, he was also a soldier before the crossing, and he was used to this kind of thing that did not sleep for a long time when performing combat missions. In addition, he is still young now, and he still has kung fu, so it is no problem to occasionally go sleepless for two days.

The troops participating in the battle tonight, except for the troops who were rotated to the blocking position, needed to be vigilant and keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese troops in Kongjiagou. The rest of the participating troops, under the arrangement of He Zhengdao, went to a safe area to start resting.

If there is no battle tomorrow, the officers and men of these participating units can have a good rest for a day. When the little devils' air force leaves, they will all come out and prepare for the night battle to begin.

On the other hand, in the temporary headquarters of the Japanese army at this moment, the people who had not had a good rest for two days and two nights still gathered the wing commanders with red eyes to discuss tomorrow's combat arrangements. Whether to leave or stay still needs to be discussed.

'General, we counted that in tonight's battle we had at least a thousand seriously wounded, and many more lightly wounded. In the case of these seriously injured people, I am afraid that many of them will be difficult to hold out until tomorrow.

At present, the medical brigade has tried its best to treat it, but we are seriously short of medicines. Many of the seriously injured are not treated with medicine. If the Air Force comes over tomorrow, hopefully they will be able to drop a batch of medicines. ’

Hearing such a report, people saw that Xiusan also had a headache and said: "In this case, I will ask Chief of Staff Nakamura to send a telegram to the North China Front, and let our army aviation troops start preparing for us."

The situation now is whether tomorrow we will rest here for a day or continue on our way. What should we do with these wounded soldiers if we are to hurry? With so many wounded soldiers, if we take them on the road, we are afraid that the speed will be even slower.

But if you leave them behind, you should know what the consequences will be. According to the information I know, the Eighth Route Army generally does not treat our wounded soldiers, and they are also very short of medicines! ”

In these years, wounded soldiers are a great headache for any army. If it is a minor injury, it will be recovered after a period of treatment, and these wounded soldiers are the wealth of the army. If it is a serious injury, it is often a huge financial and human consumption.

Because seriously wounded soldiers are often unable to return to the troops. This also means that these seriously injured soldiers, even after being saved, they can only retire. Most of these seriously injured and retired soldiers can only get a meager pension to survive.

Even on the side of the Eighth Route Army, there is already a military reclamation farm to accommodate these seriously injured and retired soldiers. But many soldiers often can't survive because of the scarcity of medicines during the treatment period.

In short, this situation should be a common problem for the troops of various countries. At least on the side of the Eighth Route Army, like in history, it is not common to treat the wounded soldiers of the little devils with scarce medicines.

In He Zhengdao's view, his own officers and soldiers are still underwhelmed with medicine, so what about the medicine to help these little devils who are invaders? If they want to be properly treated by the Eighth Route Army, then they must show the value of being saved.

By the time the Wing Commander mentioned that the troops had not been rested for two nights, and most of the soldiers were exhausted. Seeing Xiusan finally decided to rest in Kongjiagou for half a day tomorrow, and decide when he couldn't walk in the afternoon.

At least he understood that the Eighth Route Army would not give him much time. But in this situation, if we still set off at dawn tomorrow, I am afraid that many soldiers may fall down due to exhaustion when they go halfway! (To be continued.) )
