Because the little devils on the way have been basically eliminated, hundreds of soldiers did not receive any obstruction, and in just ten minutes, they came to the brigade command post and stood in front of the brigade commander Bruce Lee: "Report to the brigade commander, the battalion directly under the command has successfully completed the task, including one commander of the lieutenant general division of the captured army, two brigade commanders of major generals, three captains of the Dazuo wing, and one chief of staff of the Dazuo." The rest of the officers at all levels have been completely wiped out by our department, please ask the brigade commander for instructions. ”

Looking at the little devil who was tied up tightly by the soldiers in front of him, the brigade commander Bruce Lee was very happy: "Okay, good fight." I have seen the battle process of your direct battalion. Now the task of your battalion is to show me these captives, you know, these captives are treasures. When the time comes, I will personally ask the commander and political commissar for credit for your direct battalion..."

Hearing the brigade commander's affirmation of the results of his directly subordinate battalion, battalion commander Li Shaohua's face immediately showed a hint of a smile, and he replied loudly: "Yes, brigade commander." The battalion directly under it guarantees the completion of the mission, and must be optimistic about these prisoners. ”

At this very moment, hand-to-hand combat on the battlefield has come to an end. Only a very small number of little devils are still making the last resistance among a large number of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. The entire battlefield is slowly calming down. After fierce hand-to-hand combat, the surviving fighters, already under the command of commanders at all levels, began to clean up a bloody battlefield ... Finally, ten minutes later, the last little devil of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army fell in a pool of blood after being pierced through his body by several bayonets at the same time. The entire 109th Division was finally removed from the army system... At the same time, the entire battlefield also sounded the excited roar of the soldiers: "Hooray....hooray...."

With the end of the battle, the direct command of the entire battle, the commanders of the two main regiments of the second and third guards brigades ran to the brigade headquarters with a smile on their faces at the first time, and reported excitedly: "Report to the brigade commander, the second regiment of the guard brigade and the third regiment of the guard brigade have successfully completed the task." The little devils under the mountain, none of them escaped the net, all of them were eliminated, please instruct the brigade commander..."

After getting affirmative answers from the two people, Bruce Lee couldn't help the excitement in his heart, slammed one hand on the bullet box in front of him, and said excitedly: "Okay, the fight is so good, I didn't lose the face of our guard brigade." Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to Commander Gao, reporting the good news that our guard brigade has completely annihilated the remnants of the 109th Division of the Japanese Army. ”

Looking at the departing chief of staff, Bruce Lee looked at the two regiment commanders in front of him and continued to ask: "Commander Hu, Commander Zhang, nearly 4,000 little devils were wiped out, and basically the soldiers used hand-to-hand combat to eliminate the little devils one by one. How about it, the casualties of the troops are not big ...

"Report to the brigade commander, a total of 349 soldiers of our second regiment have died, 653 soldiers have been wounded, of which 195 have been seriously injured and temporarily lost their combat capability, and the entire unit has lost more than half..." According to the brigade commander, a total of 407 soldiers of the three regiments were killed, 520 soldiers were wounded, of which 99 were seriously wounded, and more than half of the troops were also lost...", Zhang He, the commander of the third regiment, then replied.

It was heard that the troops suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the soldiers who died directly were less than 1,000. Bruce Lee's heart was also very sad at first. However, when I thought about it, with 2,000 casualties, the soldiers simply used the rifles and bayonets in their hands to eliminate the entire 4,000 little devils with hand-to-hand combat, which the army was very good at, and all of them were directly eliminated, and the ratio of casualties between the enemy and the enemy reached an astonishing 2:1. A smile immediately appeared on Bruce Lee's face... Thinking of this, Bruce Lee couldn't help but feel proud for a while, because this battle fully reflected the combat effectiveness of his guard brigade. In particular, under certain circumstances, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers of the troops has already surpassed the combat effectiveness of the field infantry divisions and regiments of the Chinese army. "Well, comrades are all good. Staff Officer Wang immediately notified the field hospital and made preparations to receive a large number of seriously wounded soldiers. Tell them to use the best medicine to get all these seriously injured back as much as possible. If the medicine is not enough, immediately ask for help from the divisional field general hospital... In a word, we must ensure the lives of these seriously wounded as much as possible, they are all heroes of our guard brigade and our Eighth Route Army. ”

Seeing the brigade commander's gaze at him, the combat staff officer named by the brigade commander Bruce Lee immediately saluted and replied: "Yes, brigade commander, I promise to complete the mission, and I will definitely do my best to treat these seriously wounded..." After speaking, Staff Officer Wang quickly left the brigade headquarters and ran towards the field hospital behind the headquarters.

With the surviving commanders and fighters of the guard brigade, it was time to start busy cleaning the battlefield and treating all kinds of wounded. Gao Yuan, the commander in the headquarters of the Second Division, was in the headquarters, looking at the huge military map in front of him without blinking, with an anxious look on his face. Similarly, as the political commissar of the division, Chen Dazhong was also frowning, and a pair of eyes looked at the telegraph room next to the headquarters from time to time, waiting for something... Suddenly, just as the eyes of the commissar looked at the curtain at the door of the telegraph room next to him, the chief of staff of the division suddenly lifted the curtain and walked out of the telegraph room quickly, with a smile on his face: "Commander, commissar, good news... The good news of the guard brigade, the 109th division of the little devil is over. ”

Hearing the last few words, the two people who were frowning just now immediately relaxed their faces. At the same time, a pair of eyes looked at the telegram in the hand of the chief of staff in front of him without blinking. Seeing the two people who were anxious, the chief of staff continued: "Commander, political commissar, I really didn't expect that the individual combat effectiveness of the guard brigade would be so strong, and in terms of stabbing and stabbing, it was even stronger than the little devils... Brigade Commander Li of the Guard Brigade reported that the Guard Brigade relied on hand-to-hand combat, and at the heavy cost of more than 1,000 people killed and more than 1,000 wounded, it used rifles and bayonets to completely annihilate the remaining troops of the 109th Division, and captured the lieutenant general division commander of the 109th Division, two major general brigade commanders, three Dazuo wing captains, and one Dazuo chief of staff... You know, this is the first time that we have captured so many high-ranking officers since the establishment of our Reading Division..."

"What are you talking about, relying on hand-to-hand combat, completely annihilating the little devils, and capturing the enemy's division commander ... Well fought, worthy of the guard brigade brought out by the commander himself, it was too good ... Chief of Staff, immediately combine the telegram of the Guard Brigade and the results of the battle counted by our sub-district, and report it to the Military Region...."After listening to the report of the Chief of Staff, the eyes of the two men showed a look of excitement almost at the same time.

"Yes, Commander, I'll report to the military region right away." The chief of staff also left the headquarters with a smile on his face ....

At this moment, because the encirclement and annihilation battles in eastern and northern Jin have all begun. As the supreme commander of the military region, Liu Hua has left the ward he had brought for half a month and returned to the military region headquarters in Taiyuan City... Although, as the commander, Liu Hua has absolute confidence in the ongoing battle between the two places. However, after all, the two battles are related to the future of their own reading divisions and the life and death of tens of thousands of troops. Liu Hua, who had just returned to the command headquarters, came to the war room at the first time and began to pay attention to the specific process of the two battles..."Commander, it has been a day since the battle began, and no news has been sent from the two places, do you say that there will be any accidents..."Luo Ronghuan, as the political commissar of the military region, also had a sad face in front of such a big battle. Seeing that there was another hour to go, the sky was about to dawn, and he couldn't help but ask Liu Hua, the commander who was sitting motionless in front of the map.

"Political commissar, we, as the supreme head of the reading division, must calm down. We have to trust the commanders on the front line, and besides, now the little devils are going deep into our base areas, and even if we can't win the battle, we can smoothly disengage from the little devils. Now there is no telegram, which means that the battle is going very smoothly, we just need to wait patiently..."Although Liu Hua's heart is also very anxious. But seeing the political commissar with a sad face and who hadn't had a good rest for several days, he hurriedly comforted him... And Liu Hua's words don't seem to have a big effect on the political commissar at this moment. Just as Liu Hua finished speaking, the entire war room fell into silence again, and only the footsteps of the troops patrolling back and forth outside the war room could be heard... For an hour, the telegraph room did not receive any news, and the sky outside had already lit up. Two hours later, the sun had risen in the east, but there was still no news from the telegraph room... In the past three hours, the breakfast delivered by the cooking squad has been heated for I don't know how many times, but we still haven't received any news..."Commander, do you want us to send a telegram to Wang Nanhu asking about the battle." Now that the sky is already dawning, if nothing else, the little devil's reinforcement planes have also arrived on the battlefield. But there was still no news, and I was really worried, if something happened? That's more than 20,000 elite troops, and almost one-third of the strength of our reading division..."Looking at the sun that was gradually rising, the political commissar couldn't hold his breath at first, and suggested to Liu Hua in front of him..."Political commissar, we can't send telegrams, we can't interfere with the command of the commander at the front. As soon as we sent a telegram of inquiry, we were indirectly urging the commanders at the front, which was very detrimental to the commanders at the front to direct the battle... Political commissar, don't worry, even if the little devil's plane comes, don't worry, don't forget, in Wang Nanhu, there are still two air defense regiments of air defense troops..."Liu Hua didn't think about it, and immediately replied, his tone was very affirmative.

"Hey, is this kind of news really uncomfortable?" The political commissar sighed speechlessly, sat down beside Liu Hua, picked up a bowl of millet porridge that had been heated many times, and began to eat.

As soon as political commissar Luo Ronghuan sat down, a rush of footsteps quickly reached the ears of the two people from far and near. At such a sensitive time, the two of them did not hesitate, and at the same time turned their heads and looked at the door of the war room. I saw Li Qing, the chief of staff, holding a telegram, running towards the war room with an excited face.

"Commander, political commissar, good news....good news from the three divisions, Commander Wang has won a big battle. The 14th Division of the little devil was completely annihilated by our army..."Seeing that the commander and the political commissar stood up at the same time, they looked at themselves without blinking. Chief of Staff Li Qing couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly replied loudly..."What? The 14th Division was completely annihilated... How is it possible, didn't Wang Nanhu say that it was defeated, why did it become a total annihilation now? Commander Liu Hua opened his mouth, suddenly reacted from the shock just now, and asked rhetorically with a shocked face..."Commander, political commissar. The reason why such a big result was achieved this time was that the engineer regiment and the artillery regiment of the third district made a great contribution... Li Guohua, commander of the engineering regiment, led less than 1,000 engineers to use 500 kilograms of explosives and 2,000 rounds of artillery shells to completely annihilate a main wing of the army. Zhou Zhigang, the commander of the artillery regiment, used the plan of artillery fire to destroy all the artillery of the artillery wing... These two regiments laid a very good foundation for the total annihilation of the 14th Division of the Chinese Army..."In the stunned eyes of the two, the chief of staff roughly recounted the process of Wang Nanhu's total annihilation of the 14th Division of the Chinese Army..."Okay, well fought... This time, I must personally give Commander Zhou Zhigang and Commander Li Guohua meritorious service awards, and they have fought so well....especially Commander Li Guohua, with a 1,000-strong engineer regiment, has completely annihilated a main wing of the Chinese Army, which has set a precedent for our reading division...."Liu Hua, the first commander to react from the shock, couldn't help but pat his head and said excitedly..."Yes, the commander is right, not only should our military region give him meritorious service, but we must also report to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the Central Committee. Carry out the whole army report and commend ..."Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar who reacted, also said with a smile on his face.

Looking at the two partners in front of him who were still full of sorrow just now, but at this moment they were excited, and the chief of staff Li Qing also smiled: "Commander, political commissar, there is even happier, let me read to you the results achieved by our air defense forces..."

In the expectant eyes of the two people, Chief of Staff Li Qing changed a telegram and continued to read: "The 122 regiments of the Air Defense Brigade, with the cooperation of the 2 infantry regiments of the 3rd Division, ambushed an aviation brigade of the Chinese army, of which 25 Syrian planes were shot down and two were damaged... It can be said that this is the greatest achievement achieved by the Air Defense Brigade since its establishment..."

"Haha, now the little devil is losing his wife and breaking his soldiers... The loss of a field division and an aviation brigade does not know which commander of the North China garrison army should be unlucky... Lao Li, the Third Division has achieved such great results, what is the loss of the troops, is it big? Knowing that after the victory of the army, Liu Hua, after being excited, quickly asked the one thing he wanted to know the most... And after listening to Liu Hua's question, Luo Ronghuan, the political commissar who was still smiling just now, immediately pricked up his ears and waited for the answer of the chief of staff Li Qing: "Commander, political commissar." According to statistics, in the course of the entire campaign, a total of 248 civilians were killed and 460 were wounded. As for the combat troops, a total of 2,497 people were killed and 6,930 wounded, of which 1,735 were seriously wounded. In addition, 249 people were captured, and countless weapons and ammunition of various kinds were captured, the exact amount is unknown..."

"Good, well played. With less than 10,000 casualties, more than 24,000 people were annihilated, and the majesty of our reading division was played... Chief of Staff, immediately report to the whole army the results of the Third Army Division, and tell the people in the base areas that our Reading Force Division has the ability to protect everyone's lives and protect everyone's homeland from being damaged by the iron hooves of the little devils. Please don't panic the people in the base area, seize the time to produce, and make your due contribution to the soldiers on the front line and to the entire War of Resistance..."Liu Hua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and ordered to the chief of staff in front of him.

"Yes, what the commander said is right, we must vigorously publicize the tremendous results achieved by the Third Army Division, so that on the one hand, we can comfort the people in the base areas, and at the same time, we can also severely crack down on the rumor-mongers in the base areas. The most important thing is that we should also vigorously publicize the policies of our Eighth Route Army and call on young and middle-aged people in the base areas to join our Eighth Route Army. This time, the troops lost so many fighters that they must have needed a large number of recruits to replenish them. Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan followed and added.

"Yes, commander, political commissar, I'll arrange it right away..."Chief of Staff Li Qing replied loudly, turned around and left the war room..."Commander, I really didn't expect it, the result of the battle was much better than we expected. With a direct loss of less than 3,000 men, we completely annihilated a main division of the army, and our reading division once again created a miracle. Now the little devils have lost one main division at a time, and I see what capital they still have, and they will continue to be arrogant in North China..."Looking at the departing chief of staff, political commissar Luo Ronghuan was once again immersed in the joy of the great victory, and said with a smile on his face to the commander Liu Hua who looked at the map again.

"Commissar, I didn't expect it either... With an engineer corps of more than 1,000 people, the whole army annihilated an infantry wing, which also set a precedent since the establishment of our reading division... However, political commissar, the 14th Division of the Annihilation Army is certainly happy. However, there is also a 109th division in northern Shanxi. I don't know where the battle is going now. You must know that they on the plateau, but if they want to directly ambush an entire division of the army, the battle process should be much more cruel than that of the Third Division..."Liu Hua's eyes looked at the mountains in northern Jin, and replied with a worried face.
