The gunfire in Linfen City lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.

Outside the city, gunfire and explosions continued until twelve o'clock in the evening.

In the face of the quiet battlefield, the devil's first reaction and the order he received were to stand still.

The people are not familiar with the place, and no one knows if there is a conspiracy hidden in the dark night around them.

It was not until eight o'clock in the morning that the reconnaissance troops and the air force that hurried over confirmed that there was no Eighth Route Army on the battlefield that the devils began to clean up the battlefield.

By the time Lieutenant General Ito entered Linfen City, the main street and the original brigade headquarters had already been cleaned up.

I have been sleeping in the open for more than ten days, and I finally came across a decent command center, which was a very happy thing. However, Lieutenant General Ito was not happy at all.

The meeting gift prepared by his opponent Xinyi made him very unhappy, like a slap in the face, directly knocking himself into a daze, and he had to re-pay attention to and examine his opponent.

"Division commander, the battle damage has been counted, and the casualties of the troops are very large~" The chief of staff hurriedly walked in, his face was ugly, and he replied with his head down.

"Say, the battle is over, no matter how big the casualties are, we have to face them!" Lieutenant General Ito's face quickly turned gloomy.

"Hey!" The chief of staff still kept his head down.

"General, according to statistics, the 134th Wing suffered the greatest losses, with a total of 862 killed, 115 seriously wounded and incapacitated, and a whole infantry brigade."

"Because the 135th Wing was guarding the east gate, which happened to be the direction of the breakthrough of the Eighth Route Army, the losses were not small, a total of 398 people were killed, and 158 people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. The reason why there are so many seriously wounded is because the Eighth Route Army used artillery on a large scale in battle, and many light and serious wounded were produced in the artillery bombardment of the Eighth Route Army! ”

"The other two infantry wings, the supplementary wings directly under the division and regiment, and the other units assigned to us by the front army suffered little losses, with a total of 428 imperial soldiers killed and 108 seriously wounded and incapacitated......

Lieutenant General Ito's already solemn face was directly replaced by gloom at this time.

frowned and asked: "In other words, in just one night, we lost two infantry brigades, and it was a direct loss!" ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff lowered his head even lower.

Perhaps in order to alleviate Lieutenant General Ito's anger, he hesitated for a few seconds and replied: "Division commander, the losses of the troops are indeed very large, but our troops have also eliminated a lot of the Eighth Route Army~"

A total of 556 corpses of the Eighth Route Army were found in Linfen City...... A total of 598 corpses of the Eighth Route Army were found by the troops outside the city, and with the light and serious wounded taken away by the Eighth Route Army, we are sure that the casualties of the Eighth Route Army must have exceeded 1,500 people......"

"Are you sure?" Lieutenant General Ito was not happy and angry, and stared at the chief of staff with a pair of eyes and asked rhetorically.

Seeing that the chief of staff did not speak, the anger on Lieutenant General Ito's face increased: "The results of the 134th Wing are definitely not so great, and Kunping, the captain of the Wing, seems to not want to do it." In a night of street fighting, not to mention the loss of so many troops, there was even the courage to lie about the results of the battle and exaggerate the results! ”

"When I entered the city, I clearly saw that the corpses they carried out of the city were not all the Eighth Route Army, at least half of them were the corpses of ordinary people who had been killed in street battles. This Kunping Dazuo actually counted the corpses of ordinary people as the Eighth Route Army, which is definitely a shame for soldiers...... Eight grid tooth road! ”

The chief of staff did not expect that a good thing that would have been happy would turn into a bad thing because of an observation by the division commander at the city gate, and the change was too fast.

immediately comforted: "Division commander, last night's battle was really tragic, and there were indeed Eighth Route Army soldiers wearing ordinary people's clothes, and even some wearing imperial army uniforms. It is inevitable that the troops will make a mistake when they count the results, and Kunping Dazuo is the captain of the wing, and the statistics of the results are all done by his subordinates, and the data reported to him must be what the number is, as for exaggerating the results, I believe that he should also be kept in the dark! ”

"Then give him a chance!" Lieutenant General Ito's face looked much better.

"Chief of Staff, arrange the garrisons according to the original combat plan, and arrange a defensive line on the periphery of all the garrisons. Aren't there still a lot of ordinary people in Linfen City? Pull them over and give us the fortifications. The Eighth Route Army is too cunning, but, after last night's lesson, I don't want to hear any more news that a garrison has been attacked or attacked by the Eighth Route Army! ”

"Also, immediately contact the front army and ask them to immediately replenish us with weapons, ammunition and other supplies. At the same time, the local garrison and the Imperial Association Army were dispatched to Linfen City to take over the defense of Linfen. We are a field force that specializes in fighting, not a garrison force that protects the place! ”

"Finally, we will transfer troops from the supplementary wing, make up for all the shortfalls in the main force, and carry out retraining from now on to restore combat effectiveness and morale. As long as the weapons, ammunition and supplies are ready, we will attack the new base area, take revenge on them, and wash away the shame! ”

Before dawn, the former enemy headquarters of the new regiment was withdrawn.

After several hours of night travel, Wang Ping and his entourage rushed directly to the headquarters of the third battalion of the new 1st Regiment at dawn.

"Regiment commander, the losses of the battalions have been fully counted, and they are still within our tolerance. The two newly formed main battalions, because of insufficient equipment, suffered the greatest losses, and each lost nearly a company of troops! ”

"Of the three main battalions, the assault battalion suffered the greatest losses, with 158 casualties, and a battalion a little less, with 86 casualties. Three battalions were a little more posted, with 102 casualties. The guard company and the subordinate team that entered the city lost a total of 143 people. Captain Li reported that many soldiers took the initiative to stay in Linfen City to cover the main force to break through, and they fought hard with the devils in the city, and finally died together......"

"In terms of results, the direct team and the guard company eliminated the three infantry squadrons of the devil in Linfen. With the infantry squads and sporadic devils killed by them, there should be no less than a thousand people~"

"The assault battalion, the guard company, and the direct team cooperated with each other to kill at least four hundred devils, and the devils killed by other units will definitely not be two hundred eels. In this way, in one night, the total number of devils we killed should not be less than 2,000 people! ”

The losses were a little greater, especially for the direct detachments and guard companies that entered the city. But as soon as he heard the results, the heavy expression on Wang Ping's face was instantly replaced by a smile.

Kill 2,000 devils in one night, and all of them are elite...... In terms of results alone, this battle was no less than a large-scale battle.

Huang Yuanqiang was also frightened, and was stunned for a few seconds before he asked Zhong Chenggong rhetorically: "Chief of Staff, all the data is true, not exaggerated!" ”

"It's all true, and it's all as low as possible, and there's absolutely no moisture!" Zhong Chenggong replied in the affirmative.

Huang Yuanqiang also smiled and immediately replied: "Regiment commander, I suggest that the results of this battle be reported to the military region immediately." If I guessed correctly, the commander of the military district must have been in a hurry by now. Also, I suggest that in the name of the regimental party committee, I ask the regiment commander for credit, if it weren't for your persistence, it would have been impossible for us to eliminate so many little devils, and our own casualties were not even a thousand, this is definitely a big victory! ”

After a short period of excitement, Wang Ping calmed down: "The report must be reported, but don't be too happy too early, political commissar." Last night, we gave the devil a slap in the face, and there will definitely be more crazy revenge from the devil in the future. I'm sure you know very well their retributive character! ”

"Also, we did kill more than 2,000 of them in last night's battle...... However, this also makes the devil pay more attention to us. In the next battle, the devil will definitely be cautious, what planes, what heavy artillery, all of them beckoned to our new regiment. ”

"You know, we have been fighting with the devils for so long, and the heavy artillery, chariots, cavalry, and planes they are equipped with have hardly been used!"
