Ningguo, since the Su-Anhui detachment crossed here and entered the Japanese-occupied area guerrilla, this place has become quiet, the devil's plane has never come to harass again, all kinds of materials are hoarded here by merchants and organizations in the war zone, Ningguo not only has to bear the material consumption on the front, but also has to provide support for the guerrillas who have entered behind the enemy.

Feng Ye was lucky, after entering the official road, he met the return of the convoy, and the brothers got into the carriage, relieved the fatigue of the long march, and staggered all the way into Ningguo.

"Let the brethren bathe and eat first, and I will first send a telegram to the brigade headquarters."

There are a lot of empty barracks in Ningguo, and after Feng Ye showed his documents, he entered the barracks and settled down under the arrangement of the defenders of Ningguo, and the officers of the two political training offices disappeared after entering the barracks, and it was very clear what they were going to do, Feng Ye had to hurry up and report the situation to the brigade commander.

"Didi ......"

Tianmu Mountain Range, after Ye Peigao came during the day, Mei Chunhua was in a bad mood, and he didn't get any benefits at all, and after drinking two cups at night, Mei Chunhua lay down early.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The officer on duty anxiously knocked on the wooden door where Mei Chunhua was resting, and he had confirmed the telegram in his hand that Feng Ye had indeed arrived in Ningguo with the remnants of the battalion directly under him, and the brigade commander had been looking forward to it for several days, and if he didn't send it over now, he was afraid that he would be scolded by the brigade commander tomorrow.

"Squeak!"

"What's the matter?"

Mei Chunhua opened the door with his clothes on, and his red eyes showed that he had been staying up for several days, and he finally had an early sleep today, but he was woken up.

"Feng Ye has news, this is the telegram I just received; It has been confirmed that it was sent by him himself. ”

The officer on duty handed the telegram in his hand to Mei Chunhua.

"I'll see!"

Mei Chunhua grabbed it, the content of the telegram was limited, only saying that they were now in Ningguo, and there were many wounded soldiers in the remaining team, and they had to be sent to the rear immediately for treatment, so they did not return directly to the Tianmu Mountain Range.

"Go to the brigade headquarters!"

Mei Chunhua put on his clothes in twos and threes, and he had to confirm how bad the situation was.

"Didi ......"

Not only was the radio of the 31st Brigade transmitting radio waves, but the radio station of the headquarters of the Suwan detachment was also working, and they were being reported by the officers of the Political Training Department, and Ye Peigao was standing next to him.

"The direct battalion has suffered heavy casualties! Of the more than 400 people, less than 100 remained, and more than a dozen wounded soldiers were uncertain. ”

The telegram in his hand made Mei Chunhua sigh very much, for the sake of the overall situation, Feng Ye even ran out of ammunition, and it was not easy to come back all the way through the enemy-occupied area.

"Send a telegram to the division headquarters to confirm the time when the material convoy will arrive in Ningguo."

Mei Chunhua thought for a moment and immediately issued an order, these wounded soldiers could not go through the normal procedures, and a member of the Ning State was now overcrowded, and they must be sent back to Huizhou immediately; And the baggage troops of the 11th Division are undoubtedly the best choice, they can send the wounded back as quickly as possible.

The convoy of supplies is expected to arrive in Ningguo at 5 a.m., and after repairing in Ningguo, it is expected to arrive here the night after tomorrow.

This is the answer given by the division headquarters, Mei Chunhua looked at the map in front of him, the key is that he doesn't know what Feng Yi's current situation is, and whether he can continue to carry out the task.

"Send a report to the division headquarters, requesting that the baggage troops turn back in Ningguo and send all the wounded soldiers back for treatment; The convoy of materials was handed over to Feng Ye to escort. ”

Mei Chunhua thought for a while, he had to cooperate with the division headquarters to do this, and he couldn't go beyond the division headquarters to give orders directly to the baggage troops now.

"Send a telegram to Feng Ye and order them to hand over the wounded soldiers to the baggage troops, and he will be responsible for escorting the supplies back here, so that he can pay attention to safety on the road, and there can be no loss of materials and people."

Mei Chunhua held the telegram, his hands were trembling, he was excited, when he felt that Feng Ye was still hopeless, this person brought him a surprise, and the important thing is that he also brought back dozens of brothers, these veterans are the cornerstone of the reconstruction of the reconnaissance company and the guard company, with them, his direct battalion can quickly restore combat effectiveness.

Mei Chunhua was finally able to continue sleeping again, letting go of the worries in her heart, humming a song, Mei Chunhua shook her head and returned to bed, deciding to continue sleeping.

"I can finally get a good night's sleep!"

Mei Chunhua muttered, closed her eyes with a smile, and snoring sounded in less than ten seconds.

Mei Chunhua can sleep, but now that there are candles lit in the headquarters of the Suwan detachment, Ye Peigao is difficult to do.

Feng Yi's battle and retreat were generally understood by him, especially the results of the battle of Mopan Mountain, which made his heart ripple.

"We now have two choices, the first is to report truthfully, Feng Yi will be rewarded or medaled, and maybe promoted, but it will not be beneficial for us to restore our combat effectiveness in the future; The second is to divide Feng Yi's combat exploits equally among each regiment, so that our casualties are not big compared with the losses of the devils, and the advantage is that we can use the battle loss ratio to let the war zone replenish us with weapons and ammunition to quickly restore our combat effectiveness. ”

Ye Peigao frowned, and next to him sat the director of the political training room, the chief of staff, and several officers of the 16th Commando Corps composed of various departments of the Eighteenth Army.

"How do you choose?"

Ye Peigao asked a few officers, but unfortunately there were no officers here in the 31st Brigade, the only one whose interests might be damaged.

"It's better to have the second option, so that all departments can get continued weapons and ammunition, but if you do this, you have to nod your head from Brigadier Mei, after all, ......"

A lieutenant colonel officer nodded and expressed his opinion, as for Mei Chunhua's problem, of course this must be handled by Commander Ye, they have nothing to lose, but can get benefits, why not?

"I'm for it!"

"Agreed!"

……

All the officers expressed their thoughts, including the director of the political training office; These two choices, as long as they are not pigs, know how to choose to maximize the benefits.

"Give your people an order to return overnight, there are some things that must be formed into written materials, as for Brigadier Mei's side, I will find a way."

"In addition, double the number of kills of all enemies, spread it evenly among each participating troops, report to the war zone, and ask for supplies and rewards."

Ye Peigao stood up and made a decision happily, he couldn't be more skilled in this kind of thing, as for the practice of exaggerating the great military exploits, he didn't feel embarrassed, every army on the front line is doing this now.

"Commander, twice? Or just multiply it tenfold? ”

The chief of staff reminded that if the number goes up tenfold, not only Ye Peigao will be rewarded by the notification of the war zone, but even the rewards of the participating troops below will be much more.

"No, how many devils have been killed in each regiment, haven't they counted it themselves? It's too much of an exaggeration, and the commander of the war zone is not a fool, so he will do as I say. ”

Ye Peigao shook his head, if it really went up according to what the chief of staff said, I am afraid that the reporters and propaganda teams in the war zone will arrive here, and the media may make a big announcement about this battle of the Suwan detachment.

At the moment of the defeat in the Battle of Xuzhou, the Military Commission urgently needed a victory to boost the morale of the whole people, and at this time to forge a big victory, it was uncomfortable for himself, because all the troops except for the battalion directly under the 31st Brigade, none of the troops could withstand the questions of those reporters, and Feng Ye was the one who suffered from the interests, he could tell according to the orders of the headquarters, he should burn high incense.
