After all the Japanese planes withdrew, they hurriedly rode fast horses back to the fortress to check the situation, and the large army set off under the leadership of Cui Shiquan, when they returned to the fortress, they found that in addition to the building being blown up and some casualties, the political commissar and the headquarters cadres were not injured, so that a big stone in Meng Qingshan's depressed heart disappeared completely, and the soldiers were gone, and they could be recruited again, but if the cadres of the headquarters were sacrificed, then the entire Anti-Japanese Federation would collapse. This group of cadres at the headquarters are all veteran party members, have experienced the test of war, have rich work experience, and are personnel that Meng Qingshan is preparing to send to the base area for development work.

Meng Qingshan did not care about resting and immediately rescued the wounded with everyone, knowing that after many days of continuous fighting, the troops were already extremely tired, when all the troops returned, he ordered the whole army to enter a three-day state of rest. However, although the troops entered a state of rest, Meng Qingshan, Yang Jingyu, Zhou Bao and others were even busier than when they were fighting, on the one hand, they recorded the sacrificed soldiers on the list and buried them in a feng shui treasure in the back mountain, and on the other hand, they led people to clean up the bombed fortress like ruins.

The casualty statistics of the troops, the wear and tear of equipment, and the replenishment of soldiers all made several people almost busy. The large number of wounded during the war also made Wei Tianheng, who had been the minister of medical care, busy with the same foot in the back of the head, and the minister of logistics hurriedly led people to clean up the classification and transportation of materials, fortunately, Meng Qingshan captured the fortress did not put all the materials into the Japanese warehouse, but put them in the cave in the back mountain, and the important facilities such as the weapons depot and grain depot in the fortress were the main targets of the Japanese bombing. When Meng Qingshan returned, he found that the entire fortress and these important buildings had all disappeared, and there was a deep pit in the original location. After the whole army entered a state of relaxation and recuperation, these people were the busiest people.

After four busy days. On the fourth day after the fortress was completely cleaned up, Meng Qingshan held a summary meeting of cadres above the battalion and company level. Originally, this meeting was supposed to be held the day after the battle, but considering that the fortress had not been cleared and the troops were tired, Meng Qingshan, after consulting with Zhou Bao and others, still postponed it until the rest was completed, giving everyone a chance to fully relax.

After all, since the transfer to the fortress. After more than a month of intense training and combat, the string in everyone's head has always been tight. It's easy to make mistakes when you're nervous for too long. There is tension and relaxation. In order to keep everyone alive. Meng Qingshan is still clear about this.

Looking at the almost roomful of cadres at the level of instructors and above in various regiments, battalions, companies, and instructors, I remembered that when I first came to this era, the total number of soldiers was less than 30, and there were only one or two generals. Now the house is full of talent. A rare smile appeared on Meng Qingshan's face.

It's just that what Meng Qingshan didn't expect was that there was a rare smile on his face, but it made the cadres who were used to seeing him expressionless most of the time look a little uncomfortable.

Regarding the strange expressions on the faces of these cadres, Meng Qingshan understood that Meng Qingshan had always been expressionless when facing his cadres, which made people see that he was very stable, in fact, Meng Qingshan was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, but every time Meng Qingshan smiled. There are definitely some ideas, and there are good and bad ideas.

I looked at the time displayed on my watch. It was already time for the meeting, Meng Qingshan cleared his throat and said: "Some time ago, we ambushed the Japanese troops twice in Xiyangmu Mountain and Shaojiashan, and achieved a fairly good result in the battle. ”

"Although some shortcomings and deficiencies of our army were revealed during the battle, this did not affect our affirmation of this battle. If you win, you win, there is nothing to be obscure about this. We should not negate our achievements just because some problems have arisen in the course of operations. Now tell us, Chief of Staff, what have we gained in this battle? ”

Meng Qingshan's method of leading the troops is imaginative, he can say whatever he wants, as long as it is useful, he uses it all in reality, but in the eyes of everyone, this is a typical carrot and stick, slapping people, and stuffing people with a date. Those who should be criticized have always been pointed out directly to their faces, without mercy. But those who should be praised are never stingy with praise.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the cadres below, Meng Qingshan shook his head, but he smiled slightly and did not squeak. Just gestured to Cui Shiquan to announce the results of the battle, as well as the casualty figures and the subsequent way to replenish the troops. And, of course, rewards for outstanding performance.

Receiving the eyes handed over by Meng Qingshan, looking at the expressions on the faces of the cadres below, Cui Shiquan smiled bitterly. Cui Shiquan naturally knew the reason for the expression on the faces of the cadres, this was because everyone didn't know what the commander-in-chief was going to think to toss them, especially when these cadres of the First Route Army organized training in Meng Qingshan, they did not train well, Meng Qingshan came up with a lot of torture methods, such as washing socks, closing a small black house, etc., this group of outstanding and unruly generals of the First Army trained in Meng Qingshan for a month, and as soon as they saw Meng Qingshan come to inspect, they immediately became like little sheep.

In fact, among all the cadres and soldiers in the entire Hormozhin base at this time, it can be said that Li Yanping knows the most about Meng Qingshan, and Meng Qingshan is not the kind of person who has a rough work style. His thinking is very delicate, and he is also a very emotional person.

After all, he is the leader of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders. Many times, there is no time to think deeply about the things that are thought to be simple in his mind.

Moreover, in his opinion, as a person who leads troops, your character is not tough, and you can't bring out a tough army. No one would think that a sheep would bring out a pack of lions. But it's also strange to say, the army also eats his character. There are even a few cadres who don't get scolded by him for a day, just like being uncomfortable, especially Hou Guozhong of the First Route Army who is scolded the most, almost once a day.

"After two consecutive ambushes, our army annihilated a wing of the Japanese army and severely damaged the first division of the Japanese army. The number of a wing of the Japanese army, two mixed brigades, a cavalry regiment and a teaching team of the Seventh Military District of the puppet Manchurian Army were eliminated. ”

"In this operation, in the three stages of the Xiyangmushan ambush, the Shaojiashan ambush, and the Sun-Wu battle, our army killed nearly 4,000 Japanese soldiers and more than 2,000 puppet Manchu troops."

"More than 3,700 officers and men below the colonel level of the Seventh Military Region of the puppet Manchurian Army were captured. A total of more than 3,000 Type 38 rifles, 220 light and heavy machine guns, and 68 grenadiers were seized. In addition, there are large quantities of ammunition, food and other military supplies. ”

"Seized weapons and ammunition. In the case of Regiment Commander Chen Hanzhang's attack on Sunwu County alone, the ammunition captured was enough to make up for the light weapons and ammunition consumed by our army in this operation. Even 75 mm mountain shells can be partially replenished. ”

Speaking of this, Cui Shiquan looked at the cadres below who had a more or less smug look on their faces after hearing the results of the battle, and continued: "Although our army has achieved good results, we still suffered serious losses in the Japanese air raid on the fortress, and there are many soldiers who were accidentally wounded in the battle. ”

"Our army sacrificed more than 1,100 cadres and soldiers in the battle, including two cadres at the battalion level and 13 cadres at the company level. More than 900 cadres and soldiers were wounded, including one regiment-level cadre and three battalion-level cadres. ”

"Fortunately, because our army was fighting an ambush war, we took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Japanese army to catch them off guard. In the battle of the surprise attack on Sunwu County, we also occupied the strategic advantage of the underground party in the county, so that our casualties were very small. In addition, our army has initially established a relatively complete medical system and relatively sufficient drug reserves. After a period of treatment, these wounded will return to their respective units to become elite. ”

"In order to effectively make up for the gap between the overall quality of our army and the Japanese army, and reduce the casualties of our army. In this operation, our army gave full play to our army's superiority in firepower as much as possible, and tried to kill and injure Japanese troops with firepower. ”

"Due to the adoption of the firepower priority combat mode, our army's ammunition consumption in this operation is extremely large. A total of more than 100,000 rounds of Type 38 and 65 rounds of ammunition and more than 200,000 rounds of bullets for Type 77 and Type 92 heavy machine guns were consumed in this operation. There were 3,000 mortar shells, more than 1,700 mountain shells of various kinds, and 600 explosives packs. More than 30,000 grenades. ”

"In addition to the ammunition consumption, there were 16 damaged light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, 5 mortars, 12 anti-aircraft machine guns destroyed by Japanese planes, 100,000 catties of food, 100,000 rounds of ammunition, 1,000 shells, and 2,000 sets of newly made military uniforms."

Listening to the casualty figures read out of Cui Shiquan's mouth, among the people who came to the meeting, Chen Hanzhang was the most awkward. There is no other reason, the only regiment-level cadre who was injured in Cui Shiquan's mouth was unfortunately himself. Speaking of Chen Hanzhang's bad luck, the battle was already over, but in the remnants of the Japanese army in the county, he was injured by a child from a Japanese military trading house who took out a small pistol and injured him, and it was okay to hit him anywhere else, the key is that the shot hit him on the buttocks, although it was a scratch, but it was also very embarrassing, so he always felt a little embarrassed, and actually let a child shoot him.
