Chapter 61: The Battle of the Bright Light VI
Xu Ming returned to Mingguang, the statistics of the results had been released, and the deputy division commander Chen Huizhi excitedly reported the results.
There were at least more than 1,400 corpses left by the enemy at the scene, and considering that some devils died somewhere, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Japanese army killed 1,500* people; The wounded devils were killed and wounded in a ratio of one to one, and the losses of the Japanese army were also at least 3,000 people. His own 107th Division lost less than 600 people, and the total casualties were only more than 1,500. It is very rare for a newly formed unit to achieve a 1:2 battle loss ratio.
The capture was particularly rich, 11 heavy machine guns, 28 light machine guns, 845 rifles, 41 grenadiers, 5 mortars, in addition, the most valuable thing was the capture of a complete 4 Japanese 41 type mountain guns, this mountain gun caliber 75 mm, and the 107th Division's mountain artillery caliber is the same, that is, the shells of both sides can be universal. The devil's mountain artillery brigade did not have time to destroy all the mountain artillery before leaving, and as a result, a third of the mountain artillery became the trophies of our army.
Mountain artillery is indeed very valuable and important, but Xu Ming thought about it and decided to give it to the 138th Division.
On the surface, it was a return of favors, but when Xu Ming's troops first arrived, Division Commander Mo still took 5,000 * grenades and sent them to the 107th Division despite the tight inventory of his own troops, which greatly supported the battle. Now handing over the four mountain guns to the 138th Division, judging from the effect, it can be called a grace of a drop of water to repay each other.
He knew that everyone was reluctant, Xu Ming explained: "What our army lacks most now is not the number of mountain artillery, but the training of artillery. ”
Could it be that the 138th Division can be used, really, the 138th Division is the Gui system, and their weapons are Japanese-style equipment. In 1936, during the Liangguang Incident, Japan sent a large number of weapons, hoping that Li Bai could fight the civil war, but the civil war was not completed, and it was all used on the battlefield of resistance against Japan!
Since the division commander said so, this gift had to be given out painfully. In fact, Xu Ming's opinion is right, mountain artillery is not like field artillery, the power is limited, it adopts a direct hit method rather than a covering attack method, and the technical requirements of artillery are very high.
"In addition, a total of 178 enemy troops were captured, including a ...... Shaozuo."
"Wait, what! Caught 178 devils, are you sure? As soon as Chen Huizhi read this, he was interrupted by Xu Ming.
This is incredible, how is it possible, at that time on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, it would be good to catch three or five enemies in one battle, even if this is a siege and annihilation battle, I am afraid that more than a dozen can be caught, with the stubborn nature of the Japanese army, how could so many prisoners be captured! Is it a fresh worker? Make no mistake!
Judging from the wonderful expressions of the officers in the room, the thing is true.
Chen Huizhi talked about the funny thing, it turned out that a complete machine gun squadron of devils was in a panic when escaping and ran to a village. These devils were also so hungry that they had no choice, so they broke into the village and saw a fat pig stabbed to death with a bayonet, turning a ploughing cow into beef in an instant...
The family's surname is Liang, and this pig and cow are his only assets, and they have been ruined by the devil. The Japanese army also forced the villagers to cook in pots and buy wine to cook, how could Li Laohan not hate it. He secretly put several large bags of rat poison in the cauldron......
"Didn't the devil notice that rat poison can't be eaten?" Xu Ming still can't believe it, these devils are too stupid!
"Cough, master, how can people take care of it when they are in a panic, the devils eat very happily one by one, they didn't expect that there was a problem with the beef, and it was too late to kick their legs one by one and buckle their throats."
The power of rat poison was not great, and this group of devils was not poisoned, but they rolled in the ground one by one, and finally they were tied with ropes and became prisoners of the villagers.
Speaking of this, although everyone had known it for a long time, they were still trembling with laughter, and Xu Ming almost laughed. Any encirclement and annihilation battle, there will definitely be a harvest, but I didn't expect this harvest to be so, Xu Ming can't describe this harvest in words.
"What's the reward for the villagers?"
"Each captive will be rewarded with 50 fiat dollars." Chen Huizhi replied.
"No, we should strengthen encouragement, 100 yuan each, and give the honorary title to this villager surnamed Li and vigorously publicize it in the newspaper.
It's not good to brag about this kind of thing, and I'm sorry for those packets of rat poison.
"Division, how to report to the Theater Commander's Headquarters and the Military Commission?" Zhang Shaofang asked, he had just returned from Li Pinxian's headquarters in Bengbu to explain the battle plan for Xu Ming.
**At that time, there was a great deal of water in the reporting of the results of the war, and it is said that an American joked that the results of both China and Japan should be divided by ten! This is an exaggeration, of course, but it is generally the least to multiply the actual results by 2 times.
If you encounter a little more shameless, it is possible to multiply it by twenty or thirty times.
What's more, this time it was indeed a big victory, the capture was like a mountain, all the photos were taken, and nearly 200 real devils were captured, and the most important thing was that the Japanese army fled in disarray, which was no longer a victory to hold the position, but a devastating blow to the enemy.
Zhang Shaofang suggested: "Except for mountain artillery, all items captured are multiplied by two, and the same is true for killing and wounding the enemy, so report 3,000 killed to the enemy, 3,000 wounded to the enemy, and 450 prisoners." The chief of staff felt that this was a big report of conscience, he looked at Xu Ming, afraid that his division commander would think that the report was too little, but he couldn't report too much, otherwise the above really thought that the main force of the Japanese army would be wiped out, and it would be troublesome if he didn't send reinforcements...
Xu Ming thought for a while, and said something that surprised the officers: "Just report according to the facts, there are 1,442 enemy corpses, about 1,500 wounded, the captures are reported according to the truth, our casualties are reported according to the truth, the prisoners are reported according to the truth, and all future reports will be reported according to the facts!" ”
All the officers were not convinced, and Xie Jinyuan also said: "Division, the report does not need to be like this, from the perspective of boosting the morale of the army, should our army report more?" ”
Xu Ming looked at everyone's eyes with hope and incomprehension, and said: "I know the thoughts of the brothers, but my 107th Division is determined to leave a fine tradition, that is, to absolutely let the superiors believe in us. The battle results report is not only to boost morale, but more importantly, to give the above a reference for the enemy's situation, my troops will not play any falsehood on this, affect the judgment of the superiors, if there is any feeling of hurting the brothers, I apologize to everyone. After speaking, Xu Ming bowed deeply to everyone.
The division commanders all said so, so what else can be done, but the reward for the troops is probably a lot less.
However, the development of the matter was absolutely unexpected to Xu Ming, and after the report on the results of the battle was reported, neither the theater command nor the military commission agreed. The Military Commission directly sent it back, and asked the 107th Division to check it again, so as not to have any omissions.
Xu Ming was dumbfounded, it seems that if this result is not multiplied by a big coefficient, there will be other omissions in this verification!
Li Pinxian, deputy commander of the theater of operations, personally came to the Mingguang front, on the one hand, to inspect, and more importantly, to offer condolences, bringing a cash reward of 100,000 yuan and a large number of condolences. Next to the mountain of loot, Li Pinxian said dissatisfiedly: "Commander Xu, the results of the battle should boost the morale of our army, the Japanese were beaten so badly, and so many were captured and captured, how could it only be possible to achieve such a small result?" Isn't this a snub to the hearts of the brethren? The results of the battle should be multiplied by five on this basis to be reasonable! ”
The officers of the 107th Division next to him couldn't help laughing one by one, watching Xu Ming deflated.
Yes, I did something unflattering inside and out, Xu Ming was completely defeated, since he has entered the ** system, he will act according to the rules in the future!
Subsequently, the Chinese propaganda machine was once again launched with great rapidity.
"The Japanese Kou Mingguang was defeated, our army killed more than 7,000 enemies and captured 1,000 people!"
"The 138th Division won a great victory at Chihe, and more than 5,000 Japanese were killed and wounded."
"A senior commander of the Japanese army in the Battle of Mingguang was killed, and he is suspected of being a lieutenant general of the Japanese chief Ogishu Libing!"
"The captured Fujita Shaozo wept bitterly and regretted coming to China to participate in the war!"
……
Not only at home, but also abroad The Battle of Myeongko was greatly reported.
British Reuters: "The Japanese army in the northern section of the Jinpu line was blocked, and the Japanese army in the southern section was defeated. ”
The New York Times: "The small city of Mingguang in China became a sea of joy, and the Japanese army suffered a serious setback. ”
German Haitong News Agency: "The progress of the Japanese army on the Jinpu line is not satisfactory, and it is difficult to end the Sino-Japanese war in the short term." ”
Yuming Company also took this opportunity to hype up, and the Grand Theater on Broadway in New York, a drama tour began.
