Qian Yuanshan and others handed over the prisoners captured in the village and the prisoners held in the camp to the Yan brothers, and agreed to go to the solemn house in Qiulin for a banquet that night, and then said goodbye to the Yan brothers outside the camp gate and led their own soldiers into the camp.

After Qian Yuanshan and the others entered the camp, they ordered officers at all levels to bring the soldiers under their jurisdiction back to their respective camps to rest, while they themselves came to the Chinese military tent to listen to a report on the results and losses of this operation -- because Chang Shengjun's main task in this battle was to cooperate with Muttel to capture Bai Fei and other thieves, so this time it was Liu Xiaoliu, the squadron deputy of the first squadron, who made the report.

According to Liu Xiaoliu's report, the "Baihua Village", the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" and the Qiulin Zhuang Ding were killed and killed a total of 318 minions and leaders at all levels, and 37 were captured, totaling 355 people. About 50 percent of them were killed by artillery, and 50 percent were killed in close combat in the back.

In this battle, the total number of casualties on your side was greater than in the last night anti-sneak attack, and all casualties were combat losses. Of these, the infantry unit suffered fifteen casualties, one of whom was killed and three were seriously wounded. In addition, among the soldiers who were slightly wounded was a squad leader. As for the Rangers, since they were mainly responsible for the outskirts of the interdiction, only one of them was slightly injured this time, and the casualty ratio was smaller than the last time. However, because the Zhuang Ding of Qiulin Village was mainly responsible for follow-up and cover, the losses were slight, and only one person was slightly injured - the artillery preparation before the attack also scared these Zhuang Ding a lot, so Qian Yuanshan and the others did not arrange for them to participate in the front-line battle.

After listening to Liu Xiaoliu's report, Qian Yuanshan and the others nodded. Although the loss of combat personnel this time is greater than the last time, but unlike the last time to chase and kill the rout, this time it is a siege and annihilation battle, in the case of no way to escape, those who are frightened by the artillery preparation of the "Baihuazhai" soldiers have forgotten in many cases that there is the option of surrender, in the face of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" soldiers who are approaching step by step, they often fall into a state of dying struggle, so that the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" have to make more efforts to subdue them. In such cases, it is also quite normal to have greater casualties.

However, it is worth mentioning that compared with the last battle, there were no non-combat losses among the injured personnel in this battle, and there were no incidents of accidental injury to friendly soldiers like the last time, which can be regarded as a relatively big improvement in the eyes of Qian Yuanshan and others.

In addition, regarding the discrepancy between the number of enemies destroyed in the two times and the total number of minions in the "Baihua Village", and the problem that there is a difference of dozens of people in the middle, Liu Xiaoliu said that this should be caused by the fact that some minions were frightened by their own artillery fire after the failure of the night attack the night before, and slipped away in order to save their lives. If you want to figure this out, you only need to go to Qiulin Village and interrogate the last group of captured minions.

Because it is no less difficult to find these dozens of people in the vast mountains, it is no less difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack, and with this point, people can't afford to turn up any wind and waves. Therefore, Qian Yuanshan and the others did not put more thought into this matter, and waved their hands and passed.

Because one soldier was killed in battle, after Liu Xiaoliu finished reporting, Zeng Zhilin specially asked: "Have you brought back the bodies of the fallen brothers?" ”

Liu Xiaoliu bowed down and replied, "Twenty-sixth master, the remains of the fallen brothers have been transported back to the camp. ”

"It's good to bring it back," Zeng Zhilin said, "so that we can also have an explanation for his family." ”

Seeing that Zeng Zhilin seemed intent on bringing the body of the fallen brother back to the "Flying Dragon Village", Liu Xiaoliu hurriedly asked: "What does the twenty-sixth master mean, but he wants to bring the body of that brother back to the 'Flying Dragon Village' for burial?" ”

Zeng Zhilin waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "Non-yes, non-yes." Although it is not too far from the 'Flying Dragon Village', it is now a hot summer, and it is difficult to preserve the corpses, so it is not realistic to transport them back. I mean, that brother is our robe. As long as we have the ability, we must not leave him in the barren mountains and mountains, but must transport his body back to the camp for burial. ”

"What the old twenty-sixth said is right," Qian Yuanshan agreed, "'Never leave behind your comrades-in-arms', this should become a rule of my 'Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion'." ”

After speaking, he discussed with Zeng Zhilin and others, and said to Liu Xiaoliu: "After a while, you can take a few people to find a place near the camp where feng shui is more haode, and bury the fallen brother." ”,

"Yes," Liu Xiaoliu bowed to receive the order.

Liu Xiaoliu finished reporting on the losses of the enemy and us, and Li Fu, who was in charge of logistical support, reported to Qian Yuanshan and others the preliminary statistics of various seized materials.

The total amount of gold, silver and copper coins captured in this battle is about 10,000 guan, of which gold and silver are the mainstay, and copper coins are no more than 1,000 guan. In addition, a large number of jewelry, grain, cloth, weapons, tents, and other items were also seized, and it was difficult to count their specific value for a while because of the variety of items. However, according to Li Fu's estimates, its market price is at least more than 20,000 yuan.

That is to say, in addition to eliminating hundreds of minions in the "Baihua Village" in this battle, the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" at least earned more than 30,000 yuan of gross profit for the crossing team - in addition to the various expenses of this operation, it is estimated that there will be nearly 30,000 yuan left, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain of this not very successful training battle.

After the report was completed, Liu Xiaoliu and Li Fu handed over the statistical materials to Qian Yuanshan, and withdrew from the Chinese military account together. Qian Yuanshan and the others watched it carefully again, and then they turned on the radio and reported to the committee the battle situation of the day, as well as the news that Jihua of the forward headquarters had left Baihuashan and returned to the "Feilong Village" two days later.

Soon after, the Commission sent back a reply commending the operations ahead and agreeing to return to Jihua.

After receiving this telegram, Qian Yuanshan and the others saw that it was not early, and after arranging the affairs in the camp, they prepared to take a few guards to Qiulinzhuang for a banquet. As a result, before they could walk out of the tent, there was a commotion at the gate of the camp. Just when Qian Yuanshan and the others were wondering, the soldiers standing guard at the gate hurriedly came to report, saying that the three brothers of the Yan family had brought many people from Qiulinzhuang to work with cattle and sheep and food and had arrived at the gate of the camp. Hearing that the brothers of the Yan family were coming to the labor army, Qian Yuanshan and others hurriedly went to the gate of the camp to greet them.

Seeing Qian Yuanshan and the others coming out of the camp to greet each other, the brothers of the Yan family hurriedly walked a few steps forward to meet them, hugged their fists to Qian Yuanshan and the others, and said: "Our brothers led the people of Qiulinzhuang to comfort all the righteous soldiers and their soldiers. I came in a hurry, and I didn't inform you in advance, and I hope that you righteous people will not be surprised. ”

Qian Yuanshan hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Where did Yan Gong come from?" The people of Qiulinzhuang came to comfort us, which is a blessing for us, how can there be any strange reason. Yan Gongzi and all the folks, please come in. With that, Qian Yuanshan and the others walked in with the Yan family brothers and came to the Zhongjun tent together.

Everyone sat down in the tent of the Chinese army, and Qian Yuanshan expressed his gratitude to the Yan brothers and several representatives of the people who entered the tent together, and ordered Li Fu to accept the things of the labor army and distribute them to the whole army to enjoy.

Seeing that Qian Yuanshan and others happily accepted the supplies of the labor army, Yan Chongren no longer wasted time, and immediately invited Qian Yuanshan and others to the village for a banquet that night on behalf of his father and the people of Qiulinzhuang. In this regard, Qian Yuanshan and others naturally agreed. Subsequently, the two sides spoke politely for a while, and Qian Yuanshan and the others, accompanied by the Yan brothers, left the camp and came to Qiulinzhuang.

That night, the people in Qiulin Village were completely eradicated because of a major scourge around them, and every family was like the New Year, full of joy and excitement. As soon as Qian Yuanshan and others entered the village, they were surrounded by the enthusiastic people in the village. The people kept thanking Qian Yuanshan and others, and kept saying auspicious words. With the help of the Yan brothers, Qian Yuanshan and the others took a lot of effort to squeeze out of the encirclement of the people and enter the Yan house.

As the richest man and leader in the village, the Yan family slaughtered cattle and sheep tonight, and feasted in large rows. With the support of her daughter, Mrs. Yan personally came to the gate to greet Qian Yuanshan and others. Qian Yuanshan and the others didn't even dare to say it, and at the same time, accompanied by the Yan family's father and son, they went to the main hall of the Yan house.

After everyone sat down, Mrs. Yan once again expressed her gratitude to Qian Yuanshan and others on behalf of the people of Qiulinzhuang, and personally toasted Qian Yuanshan. Qian Yuanshan exchanged a few polite words, took the wine glass handed over by Mrs. Yan, drank it all, and the wine banquet began.

Since everyone was in a good mood, the atmosphere at the banquet was quite warm. Not only did the Yan brothers toast Qian Yuanshan and the others one by one, but even the rude and willful Miss Yan Er came over with a red face and toasted a glass of wine to Zeng Zhilin, the benefactor who saved his life but was complained by himself, not only to express his gratitude, but also to apologize for his rude behavior the day before yesterday. And Zeng Zhilin also took the wine glass very generously and drank it all. ,

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Qian Yuanshan and others began to talk with the Yan family father and son. After chatting for a while, Qian Yuanshan asked the Yan family father and son about the spies in the village. Yan Chongli, who was in charge of the matter, said that after many visits by him and several confidants, he finally found a "Baihuazhai" who had been hidden in the village for many years, and now he and his family have been taken into custody. After a few days of interrogation of all the captured "Baihuazhai" minions, and after confirming that there are no other spies in the village, they will be disposed of together.

Hearing that the spy in the village had been found out, Qian Yuanshan was relieved. As for what the people of Qiulinzhuang would do with this spy and those captives, it was not his concern.

The Yan family's banquet did not end until the beginning of the child's time, and Qian Yuanshan and others politely refused the kindness of the old lady Yan to stay at home, and led the guards back to the camp.

The next day, the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Camp" rested for a day. During this period, Qian Yuanshan and others were invited to a banquet in the village by the enthusiastic people of Qiulinzhuang, but they still did not return to the camp until around the time of the child.

The long dinner for two consecutive days made Qian Yuanshan and the others even more tired than when they fought against the enemy a few days ago. Rao is that they are physically strong, far more energetic than ordinary people, after returning from the banquet in Qiulinzhuang that night, the brothers were also a little unable to resist, basically went into their own tent and fell asleep, and slept until eight or nine o'clock the next morning before waking up.

On May 27, the sixth year of the Ying calendar, in the farewell of the Yan brothers and the people of Qiulinzhuang, Qian Yuanshan and others led more than 400 officers and soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" to leave Baihua Mountain and embark on the road back to the "Flying Dragon Village".
