However, the losses of the Japanese were even greater, and the situation on the side of the 4th Division was fine, but the 12th Division, which originally exceeded 30,000 men, was now less than 15,000 men, and most of them were wounded (that is, the total number of casualties was more than 25,000). Many engineers, artillerymen, and even paramedics had to take up guns and join the three infantry wings, which had been severely depleted, to participate in the battle

Just when Su Yu was hesitating whether to put more than 1,000 future Red Army battalion and company-level cadres of the instructor and student regiment into the front line (as soldiers), the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Division reported through their only remaining radio station that the 4th Division of the devil had suddenly retreated. After the Red First Army entered the war, there were no variables in the total annihilation of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army, so the Red Army naturally did not have to rush to destroy the enemy and let too many commanders and fighters die, and continuous artillery bombardment and propaganda offensive were more affordable options.

The remnants of the Japanese 12th Division were defeated after learning that the 4th Division had abandoned them and ran away, and their original determination to resist to the end was also shaken, and the news that the enemy had received reinforcements further hit their morale, coupled with the increasingly fierce and intensive artillery bombardment of the Red 15th Army and the increasingly sophisticated propaganda offensive, the devils who had stubbornly resisted finally began to surrender in pieces, and the lieutenant general of the 12th Division, Shimizu Kishishige, also committed suicide by seppuku after a telegram was sent. By the time the large forces of the 1st Red Army arrived on the battlefield, the battle was completely over

In this battle, the Red 15th Army killed more than 28,000 enemies (the 4th Division only lost less than 1,000 deaths, which can be basically ignored.) More than 4,000 devils were captured, and the 12th Division of the Japanese Army, which had more than 30,000 troops, was wiped out. It can be said that it is the most brilliant victory of the squadron in all previous operations against Japan since the First Sino-Japanese War, but the casualties of the Red 15th Army itself are equally shocking. The combat casualties alone are about 20,000, and if we add the non-combat attrition caused by illness due to fatigue and other reasons, it will be more than 24,000, and the sad number of sacrifices of more than 10,000 is even more difficult for Hu Weidong, a traveler from the peaceful years, to accept, and a considerable number of them are veterans and party members and cadres, and it is obvious that the vitality of the 15 th Red Army has been seriously damaged. In addition, the loss of weapons and ammunition in this campaign was also extremely alarming, with more than 70,000 shells fired alone, and more than half of the large-caliber shells of more than 105 mm were used, and the massive ammunition captured from Fengtai was instantly reduced by one-third. If it weren't for the post-war seizures, they would have been quite lucrative. This campaign was measured in accordance with the Red Army's traditional values of "taking advantage of the advantage and not suffering losses," and it could even be said that it was a victory or a defeat

Among the many captures, the 54 heavy guns were naturally the most attractive, and 18 of the 54 heavy guns were 150mm heavy cannons with a range of more than 20 kilometers. It was found that there were 12 of them (because the gun was more conspicuous, the special operations team naturally regarded it as the focus of robbery and protection, and fortunately none of them were blown up by the devils.) It was not until the end of World War II that it could reach the advanced level of shijie (here it refers to the performance, in fact, the cost of this gun is very expensive, Japan stopped production in the middle of the Anti-Japanese War, and the cost performance is relatively low, but if it is captured, this is an advantage) Type 96 150mm heavy cannon, and it should have just been equipped with troops. Obviously, the Japanese have also spent a lot of money in order to deal with the Red 15th Army, and after realizing this, Hu Weidong, who was worried about the losses in this battle, balanced his heart a lot.

The 36 120mm heavy cannons are the 120mm heavy cannons that were frequently used by devils during the Anti-Japanese War in history, but somehow did not leave detailed parameters (I spent several hours before and after for this, but I still couldn't find a detailed T-T), but Hu Weidong quickly deduced that the projectile muzzle velocity of the gun should not be less than 800m/s (according to the firing range), in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century. This figure is quite high for a cannon of 120mm caliber. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Canadian 120mm heavy cannon can also be used as an anti-aircraft gun, in fact, its firing height and range are far above the current main anti-aircraft gun of the Japanese army Type 88 75mm anti-aircraft gun (but there is a certain gap between the rate of fire and mobility compared with the professional anti-aircraft gun), and considering that the larger the caliber of the shell, the lower the difficulty of designing the proximity fuse, this kind of heavy artillery that is not too new is still very valuable...,

In addition to heavy artillery, the Red 15th Army also captured 10 150mm field cannons (all Type 89), 28 105mm field cannons (all Type 92), 2 150mm howitzers, 14 105mm field guns, 3 75mm field guns, 21 75mm mountain guns, 8 Type 92 infantry guns, 2 37mm anti-aircraft guns, 12 75mm anti-aircraft guns (all Type 88), 24 anti-aircraft machine guns (all Type 93), 87 light machine guns (all Type 96), There were 162 grenadiers, more than 5,000 rifles, and nearly 100 automobiles of various types, including tractors for heavy artillery, and so on

For these captures, the Red First Army who came to help was also very angry, but even Mr. Lin didn't expect that before they joined the battle, the Red 15th Army had already eliminated all the enemies, and he was not good at words for a while. But Hu Weidong knew in his heart that if the Red First Army had not arrived in time to reinforce, the Red 15th Army would have sacrificed at least a few thousand more people in this battle, not to mention that even if it was for the sake of political commissar Zhang Hao's face, he could not give any soup to the First Army.

"We don't have much surplus guns now, and at least tens of thousands of rifle machine guns have been scrapped with artillery on both sides of this battle." Although Hu Weidong complained bitterly, Zuihou still used the thousands of Hanyang-made Type 88 rifles of the Red 15th Army (since then, the Red 15th Army has only been equipped with three types of rifles, that is, imported or imitation German rifles using 79-pointed bullets, Japanese-style 38-style rifles with 6.5mm caliber, and Type 24 semi-automatic rifles with an increasing proportion of equipment. And the remaining more than 2 million rounds of 79 rounds of ammunition were given to the First Army, after all, the Red First Army has now grown to more than 80,000 people, and the rifles that were no longer lacking after receiving the support of the Red Eighth Army are obviously not enough. However, Hu Weidong couldn't help but secretly complain about Mr. Lin's ability to pull the team, and now he understands that in the history of Weishenme, Mr. Lin was able to pull up a million troops in the northeast with a total population of less than 30 million (this is only counting the regular army) (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation. )
