The burning of the remains is a heavy job, tens of thousands of corpses are put together, even if they are burned, it will take a long time to complete, and those soldiers have just died not long ago, and there are still chemical weapons on their bodies, and the unsuspecting soldiers dare not approach, so it has also brought great trouble to the 99th Army in dealing with the aftermath.

There were not enough full protective suits, so the aftermath of the fallen soldiers of the whole army could only be the responsibility of those soldiers. Fortunately, it is winter, and the temperature is so low, so many corpses will not cause a plague or anything if they are left for an extra day or two.

The Ninety-ninth Army remained in place for another two days, and for the past two days they had been doing the same job, which was to constantly search for the names and addresses of the fallen soldiers, and then the various companies began to count the people, and gathered the troops to count the detailed casualty figures.

This work was basically carried out for the first time in the 99th Army, and there was no experience in all aspects, so at the beginning, everyone was confused, and the figures reported below were too different from the statistics of the military department, so they had to verify those casualty figures again and again.

Time has passed little by little, and there is still a gap between the statistics of the military department and the numbers reported below, but this gap is much narrower than at the beginning, and according to the original plan, today will be the last day for the 99th Army to stay here, and early tomorrow morning, more than 20,000 remnants of the 766th Division will set off to be stationed in Jinxi City, but with more than 20,000 troops to defend Jinxi City, the pressure of the 766th Division is still relatively large.

In desperation, Su Dao could only transfer back the armored brigade with 200 tanks to assist the 766th Division, and at the same time transferred two regiments from the 767th Division and the 768th Division, about 12,000 troops, to assist the defense of the 766th Division. Although the 99th Army still had about 140,000 people after this battle, its non-combat troops were also a fairly large number, and the entire combat force was basically less than 100,000.

In the face of the danger that the Kwantung Army might once again raise troops to suppress the border, the strength of the 99th Army was somewhat insufficient, and in desperation, Su Dao could only order each division to recruit 20,000 troops by itself, and include the new recruits in the logistics troops, and at the same time transfer some veterans of the logistics troops to the front-line troops, and it was too late to train new soldiers, and it was also a matter of necessity to adopt this method.

"How's the casualty count going?" Su Dao stood in the military headquarters and looked at Wu Zhongguo, who was already busy.

"It's still a little bit worse, there are a hundred more missing soldiers reported below than the identity tags we have collected." Wu Zhongguo looked at Su Dao speechlessly, since the establishment of this financial logistics department, Wu Zhongguo found that it didn't seem to have any impact on Su Dao's work, but the work that was supposed to be on Su Dao's head was all on him all of a sudden, plus the two deputy section chiefs who had just been promoted below were still a little inexperienced, and they were a little hurried when facing this kind of thing, and they didn't know where to start? Therefore, whether it is the affairs of the army or the affairs of the financial and logistics department, Wu Zhongguo is basically in charge of it alone.

But then again, Su Dao, the shopkeeper, is getting more and more comfortable, but Su Dao is also more and more able to take the burden on himself, of course, all the things he has taken over are still handed over to Wu Zhongguo to be responsible.

"You must find those more than 100 soldiers, or their identity cards, if you can't find them, things will be in trouble in the future." Su Dao said softly with a little sadness, the identity card is the only evidence that Su Dao can ensure that the warrior is alive or dead, and if he didn't find the identity card, he burned the corpses of the soldiers, and he couldn't even verify it if he wanted to verify it in the future.

"Can we take care of the soldiers who have already been identified? When people die, they pay attention to the ground for safety, and I don't think it's appropriate to put them in this ice and snow like this. Wu Zhongguo sighed and asked.

"Well, it's okay, we have to pay tribute to every soldier, they are the heroes of the motherland, the soldiers who died under the poison gas should wait first, they have to deal with it separately, otherwise the corpses of the soldiers will make this place without any grass." Su Dao silently lowered his head.

In front of a dug grave, the body of a soldier was respectfully placed next to the grave, due to the lack of materials, it was already good to be able to prepare a grave pit for these soldiers alone, as for the coffin, with the current financial resources of the 99th Army, or the situation could not do it.

A soldier sat next to a corpse, lowered his head and looked at the body silently, and did not say a word for a long time, with the joint efforts of several soldiers, he had changed into a clean military uniform for this soldier, but the coat outside was still the same one, covered with dust, but it was beaten as clean as possible.

"Old squad leader, what do you say I want me to say about you? You taught me how to kill the enemy, you taught me how to shoot, you taught me how to fight, you taught me how to dodge the enemy's bullets, but why didn't you dodge? The soldier looked at the body in a somewhat obscured voice, and suddenly spoke.

Immediately, the soldier took a box of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, lit one and took two puffs, then tied it next to the body, lit another cigarette at the same time, and finally stuffed the remaining half of the box of cigarettes into the body's pocket.

"You still taught me to smoke, don't say it, this thing really fucking works, I feel a lot better after two puffs, and you take most of the remaining half boxes to smoke on the road, don't give them to other brothers, this is what I specially stole from Wang Pai for you, not only cigarettes, but also good things." As he spoke, the soldier pulled out a small bottle of wine from his other pocket, shook it in front of the body, and continued.

"See? This is a good thing, and I also got it from Wang Pai, I heard that it was the division award to the group seat, and the group seat gave Wang Pai a bottle, I don't know how Wang Pai will react when he finds out that the wine is gone? No matter, if there is wine today, let's drink one first, I know you drink a lot, but let's just have such a small bottle of wine, let's say okay first, I'll give you a big half, I'll drink a small half, how?. ”

The soldier opened the wine bottle, poured a sip next to the body, and then poured a small sip into his mouth, and at the same time muttered that there was no appetizer, let's just take it first, and when the conditions are good, I will set a table for you.

"Huzi, haven't said goodbye yet? Okay, that's pretty much it, maybe one day our brothers will meet over there, and it's not too late to talk about it when we get there, hurry up and clean up, and we're going to be buried. An officer in a lieutenant's uniform trotted all the way over, and when his eyes looked at the cigarettes and wine in Zhang Hu's hand, his eyes were stunned for a moment.

"Good boy, even dare to steal my cigarettes and alcohol, and you're too bold, right?" The lieutenant looked at Zhang Hu and scolded with a smile, but that's all, he didn't continue to reprimand, he saw Zhang Hu's actions clearly just now, and he also knew what he was doing with these things.

Not long afterward, four soldiers stood next to each of the corpses, and at the sound of an order, these soldiers gently lowered the bodies of the fallen soldiers into the grave, and without a coffin, they could only put their clothes in it, and then cover their faces with the extra clothes.

It didn't take long for the bodies of these soldiers to be placed in the tomb, and the four soldiers stood in a row at one end of the tomb, raised the steel gun in their hands, and fired at the air in a regular manner.

After doing this, the troops began to assemble slowly, and then the next task was assigned, because the follow-up processing work could not be completed in a day or two, and in order to prevent the surrounding people from entering the drug area to be infected, it was still necessary to leave some soldiers to continue to be vigilant.

Early the next morning, the troops began to bypass the battlefield of the previous days and swaggered directly to Jinxi from the surrounding areas. Lu Guo left some of the soldiers of the special forces who stayed behind infiltrated Jinxi City, and they also knew whether there was the Kwantung Army in it.

This is also the reason why Su Dao delayed the time for the troops to enter the city, mainly because Lu Guo did not send information in Jinxi City, Su Dao didn't know what was going on inside, although he was not worried that the Eastern Army was waiting, but he really didn't want to see any casualties in the troops now, after this battle, Su Dao was now afraid when he saw the casualty figures.

The main force of the 766th Division is entering Jinxi City in an orderly manner under the guidance of the special forces, although the Kwantung Army did not stay to fight the ambush, but before they left, they destroyed this place and could not destroy it, and snatched all the valuable things, leaving only a broken city, but Rao is so, the soldiers of the 766th Division are also overjoyed, after fighting for so long, they finally have a territory of their own.

The air force is constantly patrolling the air, monitoring all the movements in the surrounding area, and it is necessary for the large forces of the Eastern Army to appear, and it will certainly not be able to escape the detection of the air force. The fighters of the Kwantung Army have not been able to appear after that defeat, for no other reason, the north has already started fighting, and the Kwantung Army is now unable to take care of their side, since they cannot draw more troops to destroy the 99th Army, nor can they completely contain the 99th Army, so they can only set up a new defensive position in Jinzhou, they want to block the 99th Army south of Jinzhou, and at the same time ask the navy to shell Jinxi and other places.

At this time, Su Dao did not enter Jinxi for the first time, but let Wu Zhongguo enter Jinxi City first to direct all actions, and he continued to stay in the original military headquarters to do one thing, that is, to write a template of the death notice, Su Dao has never had the intention of combining with Wuhan, so whether it is the promotion of officers, or the salary of weapons and equipment, Su Dao has never asked Wuhan for instructions, these are all done by himself.

As for this death notice, he will not write it according to the template of the notice of the Central Army, of course, in order to ensure that these things can be delivered to the families of the dead in the first time, Su Dao also plans to form a large communication force by himself, and all the letters and other things will be executed by themselves. Although it is more difficult now, the efficiency is relatively low, but for the current communication of the Republic of China, he really does not dare to compliment, in later generations Su Dao has seen with his own eyes, a soldier who died in 38 years, his family received a death notice after the surrender of the army in 45 years, and the time when the notice was sent was 38 years.
