Tianjia Village maintained the compound of the association, and everyone was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.

Of the more than 220 people who set out, only 115 people came back in the end, including 5 seriously wounded who could die at any time.

As for the grain, only half of it was snatched back, less than 15,000 catties.

The troops suffered heavy losses, and did not reach the intended operational objectives, it can be concluded that this was a defeat, a very miserable defeat.

"Company commander, the morale of the soldiers is low and the morale of the army is turbulent, this problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise there will definitely be chaos!" The long line reminded with a frown.

"The turmoil is just the beginning, I'm afraid that some people in it will take the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that they have been deceived by themselves, and it is better to be a prisoner of the devil when the Eighth Route Army is in charge, at least they can live!" The Invalids are well aware of the gap between the new units and the old ones.

During the time of the Red Army, the old troops would not collapse even if they experienced many defeats. As soon as the instructor said a few inspiring words, the whole unit would immediately be inspired to scream, pull it out and go to the battlefield.

Not so good for new troops, especially for this new force of prisoners.

The composition was complex and did not really integrate into the Eighth Route Army.

After winning the battle, there is no problem at all, and it can also increase their sense of honor and help them integrate into the Eighth Route Army.

But if you lose the battle, you won't be able to do it, and all kinds of problems will be exposed at once, like a powder keg suddenly exploding.

The instructor replied helplessly: "Company commander, I am responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers, and now that something has gone wrong, I will take full responsibility!" ”

"I'm going to go to a platoon of garrisons in a while, and do their ideological work one by one. Isn't it just a losing battle? It's a big deal, the next time we encounter a devil, we will win the battle and take revenge! ”

"Who said we lost the battle!" Rong Jun suddenly grasped the key point of solving the problem and asked rhetorically with a frown.

The instructor and the platoon leader both looked at the invalids with disbelief on their faces.

Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the invalids: "In the stronghold of Sanchakou, we have eliminated more than 50 devils, more than 30 puppet troops, captured more than 60 puppet soldiers, and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition. Fighting devil reinforcements, although we failed to wipe them out, we also eliminated more than 20 devils! ”

"All of them add up to more than 80 devils, more than 100 puppet troops, a total of 200 puppet troops."

"And all our casualties add up to more than one hundred and thirty people, one to one to five, do you know what that means?"

The instructor seemed to understand: "We can kill three Japanese puppet soldiers with two casualties!" ”

"Yes, then do you know the casualty ratio of the Northwest Army fighting devils on the battlefield?" The invalids raised their eyebrows and said to themselves.

"On average, we need to sacrifice three warriors to take out one devil. Compare this proportion of casualties to the fact that we not only won the battle, but also won the battle by a great margin! ”

"We have always fought skillfully with the regiment commander, and we have rarely fought hard with devils like this. This gives us the illusion that as long as there are many casualties, we are defeated. However, we forgot that even if the regiment commander is here, we can't always fight with the devils, we should fight hard! ”

"The casualties are too big to be avoided."

"So, we didn't lose. With such a casualty ratio, no matter which unit it is put in, it is a victory, not a defeat! ”

"Instructor, you do their ideological work from this aspect."

"If it still doesn't work and someone makes trouble, it proves that this person is not really a devil, and he is not suitable to stay in our Eighth Route Army!"

The instructor immediately affirmed: "Don't worry, company commander, I'll go over and correct everyone's thinking that we lost the battle." ”

"Obviously it was a winning battle, but now it is rumored to be a losing battle, how can the army's morale not be turbulent!"

As soon as the instructor left, the Rongjun's face became heavy again.

The whole battle, in terms of casualty ratio, can indeed be said to have won the battle, but if it is analyzed in two battles, attacking the stronghold and attacking the Japanese reinforcements, the latter battle is a complete defeat, and it is a fiasco, and there is no reason for it.

"Armored cars, we must find a way to just know where the devil's armored cars came from and how many there are~" Rong Jun frowned and analyzed.

"Otherwise, if you encounter the devil armored car every time in the next battle, then there will be no way to fight this battle!"

Wang Jianxin opened his mouth to take over the task: "I'll check, the puppet army battalion commander in Fengyun Town also accepted our benefits a few days ago, and he should be able to put some words out." Also, ask the captured puppet army! They should know something! ”

"Okay, leave the prisoner interrogation to me!" Rong Jun readily accepted Wang Jianxin's proposal.

continued: "Although there is not much food snatched back, we have more than 10,000 fewer people, and we can save a little more than enough to eat for a month. Therefore, the grain must be sent to the other two platoons as soon as possible. ”

"Everyone is too tired today, and the devil is also alert, let's act tomorrow!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese army brigade in Linfen City, the chief of staff was pleased to knock on the door of Major General Matsui's room.

"General, our arrangement has worked!"

"The Eighth Route has just attacked one of our strongholds, and the nearby mobile team quickly arrived, relying on armored vehicles, quickly repelled the attacking troops of the Eighth Route Army, and also caused them heavy losses!"

"Yo Xi!" Matsui's brow, which had just wrinkled because his subordinates had woken him up, stretched out, and he took the telegram and read it.

"Nani, there are more than eighty imperial casualties, and there is also a company of imperial allies!" Looking at it, Matsui's brow furrowed again.

Stared at the chief of staff and asked: "What are the defenders of the stronghold doing, they were wiped out if they didn't hold on for twenty minutes!" ”

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "I don't know about the lowly position, but the lowly position has just ordered that all strongholds must be on guard at night to prevent this kind of thing from happening again!" ”

"Very good, as long as the stronghold is held, the casualties of the imperial army will be greatly reduced, while the casualties of the Eighth Route Army will be more and more large, and it will not take a few battles for them to be completely consumed by us." Major General Matsui was very satisfied with the chief of staff's arrangement, and then said with a look of longing.

"We now control all the roads, and the more they come out, the more the nest will be exposed. When the time comes, we can divide our troops into areas to eliminate them and completely eliminate them! ”

The next day, the Invalids dragged ten mules and horses to deliver food to another maintenance council under their control.

The two villages were stationed on both sides of the road, and the invalids had to cross the road if they wanted to reach their destination from Tianjia Village.

Wang Ping followed the guard squad to a mountain bag next to the road and stopped, and then climbed to the top of the mountain bag with him.

"Company commander, there is an artillery tower every two kilometers on the road, I walked it all during the day, only the front is the best place for us to cross the road!"

"There's a corner there, it's the blind spot of the little devils in the turrets on both sides, you should be able to pass under their noses, I specially experimented during the day!"

The guard squad leader is also an old Red Army, an old scout, who was originally going to be a platoon leader, but he was asked to come over from the battalion commander to serve as a guard squad leader.

For him, the invalids had absolute trust, and immediately affirmed: "That's okay, just go there and cross the road!" ”
