Not many people survived, the staff officer and two soldiers from the division headquarters died in the trenches, Mei Chunhua's brigade headquarters suffered heavy casualties, the chief of staff was seriously injured, the guard company commander Wang Lun was killed in battle, the engineer company commander Zhu Ming was killed in battle, the baggage company commander Bian Fei was killed in battle, and Min Fei, Wang Ning, Zhang Chuan, and Feng Ye themselves were all wounded.

Of course, it was not only the six of them who survived, but there were also two staff officers and four veterans who survived, but none of them were not injured.

"Brothers, go all the way!"

After burying the remains, the 12 surviving men were returned to the rear along with the wounded soldiers of the secret service, and after being bandaged in De'an, they continued to Nanchang, where they would receive better treatment.

These people's injuries are not life-threatening for the time being, but there are many wounds on their bodies, and the most feared thing is that the wound will be inflamed.

On September 20, the 33rd Brigade captured Henggang, but its own casualties were also very huge, and more importantly, the 27th Division itself suffered very heavy casualties during this period of time, and was temporarily unable to attack, waiting for the arrival of additional Japanese troops.

On September 24, the 11th Division, which had only a few more troops than one regiment, was taken care of by its old commander Chen Cheng because of its exploits at Ruichang and Ruiwu Road, and was transferred to Xiushui to receive replenishment.

On October 1, after the 11th Division arrived in Xiushui, the recruits of the original Jin Lisan Supplementary Regiment were allocated to the 31st Brigade, the 2nd Regiment under the 5th Supplementary Training Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs was allocated to the 33rd Brigade, the 1st Rear Supplementary Regiment allocated by the Xunrao Division was reorganized into the 11th Division Supplementary Regiment, and Lan Xiaosheng, the former chief of staff of the Xunrao Division, was appointed as the commander of the 11th Division Supplementary Regiment.

The commander of the 31st Brigade and the eleven remaining brothers, except for the seriously injured chief of staff who was still struggling in the hospital, after a week of recuperation, they were sent back to Xiushui with scarred wounds, and at the same time as they were recuperated on the spot, Mei Chunhua began to reorganize the headquarters of the 31st Brigade.

After this replenishment, the 11th Division is still far from its full strength of 14,000 people, only about 10,000 people, not to mention the labor battalions that were deployed during the war.

Since the Battle of Songhu, not only have the regiments suffered heavy casualties, but the units directly under the two brigades have also basically suffered casualties.

"The recruits have almost accepted it, Commander Long and Commander Luo, the two of you have been training recently, and as for the distribution of personnel, the brigade headquarters will consider it according to the situation of each unit."

At the first meeting of the 31st Brigade in Xiushui, there were very few officers who could attend the meeting, and there were only six people on a large wooden table; In addition to Kaimei Chunhua and the two regiment commanders, Feng Yi, a wounded soldier, was also sitting; The other two were the two surviving battalion commanders of the four regiments.

"Brigade commander, I heard that the Ministry of Military Affairs will add a batch of Whampoa graduates to our division this time, can you give our regiment a few more considerations at that time? You know, this time, there is not a battalion commander left in our regiment, and there are even fewer platoon commanders in the company.

It was Luo Xianda who spoke, he didn't think about how many recruits he wanted at all, he only wanted officers now, and the recruits were there, and it was impossible not to give him points.

"Commander Luo, is your sixty-second regiment miserable? I won't talk about our regiment, you look at the battalion and brigade headquarters directly under it, now there is not even a guard company commander, you don't fight for now, you can replenish as much as you can when the time comes! ”

Long Zuo just spoke, the staff officer of the brigade headquarters and the officer of the battalion directly under him were basically wiped out in the last sniper battle, and looking at Feng Yi's appearance, it seems that he has not yet come out of his grief.

"The situation of the 11th Division is almost the same, if nothing else, let's just say that the division headquarters, except for a mountain artillery battalion, their howitzer company has no one, the battle defense artillery company has no one, the anti-aircraft artillery company has no one, there is only one platoon left in the engineer battalion, only half a company of the communications battalion has survived, and as for the baggage battalion and the special service battalion, all need to be rebuilt; This is also the reason why each brigade is only replenished to seventy percent this time, it is estimated that most of the Huangpu graduates will be added to the division headquarters, you don't think about it, it is better to train the troops well, teach more veterans who survived, and figure out your own way! ”

Mei Chunhua sighed, of course he knew that there were a group of Whampoa graduates who were going to be assigned to the 11th Division, and there were quite a few of them, just for this, he had been in the division headquarters for a few days with his injuries, but no one dared to let go, even the division commander didn't dare to say how much to add to him, and now every unit was staring at it with red eyes.

"Hey!"

Long Zuocai and Luo Xianda sighed, hung their heads and did not speak.

"You two regiment commanders go down, first report the acting battalion commander and acting company commander, whether there are additional troops or not, they will be supplemented according to the original sixty percent of the strength, but the shelves must be set up first."

Mei Chunhua waved his hand and asked the two regiment commanders to solve the officer problem by themselves.

"Brigade commander, isn't it supplemented according to seventy percent?"

The officer didn't play, and Luo Xianda suddenly set his sights on the supplementary soldiers.

"Feng Yi, this time the old commander has made a very big addition to the 11th Division, the brigade headquarters guard company, mortar company, small artillery company, special service company, reconnaissance company, engineer company, and baggage company must all be rebuilt, and the personnel will be replenished first, and you must put up the shelves within a month."

Mei Chunhua stared at Feng Ng, who had not spoken, and did not say what proportion to replenish, but he wanted to use the supplementary soldiers withheld from the two regiments to fill the troops directly under the brigade, and he hoped to comfort Feng Ng's injured soul in this way.

"Yes!"

Feng Yi stood up and saluted expressionlessly.

The brigade headquarters communication didn't even mention Mei Chunhua, and Feng Yi didn't ask, this part has not been under his control, it was the chief of staff who personally grasped it, and now the chief of staff is still in the hospital, it is estimated that Mei Chunhua will personally get started.

"Your exploits have been declared, and there should be a commendation order coming down recently; This is given to you by the division commander, the surviving brothers, the division commander has already given them a promotion within the scope of his authority, you go and announce it! ”

Mei Chunhua opened the clip on the table, picked up a stack of commendation orders, and handed it to Feng Yi.

"Thank you, Brigadier!"

Feng Yi was expressionless, took it, didn't look at it, and put it at hand.

"Okay, continue to recuperate if you are injured, and go to train the troops if you are not injured."

Mei Chunhua waved his hand and signaled the meeting to adjourn.

"Brigade commander, I want to use the radio station of the brigade headquarters to send a telegram home."

Feng Ye and the others walked out, stood up, and asked Mei Chunhua for instructions.

"Okay, I'll let Counselor Wang arrange it for you, and you can go directly to him."

Mei Chunhua was stunned for a moment, logically speaking, Feng Ye could not use the brigade radio station to send reports, because this was a military radio station, and the frequency, band, etc. used were different, but fortunately, for them, it was not a matter at all to get the bands and frequencies of the telegraph office.

"Thank you, Brigadier!"

Feng Yi raised his hand in salute, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Okay, if you have injuries on your body, don't make these false courtesies, if you're messing around, I'll let the division hospital close you and keep you closed, and you won't be allowed to come out until you take care of your injuries."

Mei Chunhua glared angrily, surviving that night was all the result of the brothers' desperate efforts, luck only accounted for a small part, and Feng Ye's arrangement undoubtedly bought precious time for the arrival of reinforcements.
