The annihilation of more than 160,000 Japanese puppet troops was an unprecedented victory.

Moreover, the number of troops of the invading Japanese army in China is about more than one million, and if you kill one, you will lose one.

According to such a big battle, if there are ten more times, the devils who invaded China will basically be wiped out.

Although the Battle of the Hundred Regiments also wiped out about 50,000 Japanese puppet troops.

But the Battle of the Hundred Regiments lasted several months, and it was a total of 1,800 battles, and so many enemies were killed.

And this time in the Zhengtai Campaign, not only killed more than 100,000 devils, but also wiped out the entire division of devils.

Moreover, the Japanese army group numbered number 1 was eliminated, and the glory of this battle was so brilliant that even the German and Allied forces were shocked.

Shorty is such a garbage?

"The casualties were much smaller than expected before the war!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's inquiry, Zhao Gang replied:

"The total casualties of our Eighth Route Army are about 20,005, and the specific number of casualties, minor injuries and serious injuries is still being counted."

The casualty statistics of a major battle will not be as fast as the casualty statistics of a small battle.

In skirmishes, casualties can be quickly counted after the battle.

In the Great Battle, many soldiers had no bones left in the battle, so it is more difficult to count.

However, none of the troops had the entire formation wiped out by the devils, so if the troops were given a period of time, the accurate casualties of the Eighth Route Army could be counted.

"It is true that there are many fewer casualties than expected before the war!"

Li Yunlong nodded and asked:

"Are the wounded being treated effectively?"

Before the war, Li Yunlong and the head of the headquarters estimated that the casualties of the Eighth Route Army in this battle would be in the range of 6 to 70,000.

After all, the devil's combat effectiveness is still very strong.

Although the Eighth Route Army was better equipped and had more troops, it belonged to the attacking side after all.

Moreover, Li Yunlong and the head of the headquarters guessed that the devils would eventually gather troops and fight street battles with the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan, Shouyang and Yangquan City.

Street fighting is the most brutal battle.

Because there were still a large number of Chinese civilians in the city, the artillery fire and air superiority of the Eighth Route Army could not be brought into play.

The casualty ratio of the two sides in the street battle was about 1 to 1, and the heavy casualties of the Eighth Route Army were here.

However, contrary to the expectations of Li Yunlong and the head of the headquarters, the devil did not think about defending Taiyuan, Yangquan and Shouyang, let alone gathering the main force to fight too many street battles with the Eighth Route Army.

This gave the Eighth Route Army an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the main force of the devils.

As a result, the casualties of the Eighth Route Army were greatly reduced.

Zhao Gang nodded: "There are indeed many wounded in each unit this time, but this time we are fully prepared, medical personnel, hygienists, various medical equipment and medicines are fully prepared, and wherever the troops fight, the stretcher team composed of militia and ordinary people will follow them, so the soldiers have been well treated, and the sacrificed soldiers will also be properly arranged, and pensions and food will be issued to the families of the sacrificed soldiers." ”

And there is another point, although the casualty ratio of the devil to the Eighth Route Army is about 5 to 1.

But because the devils ate the defeat, these 130,000 devils were eliminated in the system, so there were very few wounded.

Of the 25,000 casualties of the Eighth Route Army, a considerable part of them were minor and seriously wounded, and the lightly wounded could return to the team and continue to go to the battlefield after being treated.

Li Yunlong nodded with a satisfied expression, these tasks are basically done by Zhao Gang.

With Zhao Gang's ability, he can handle these things with ease, and he doesn't need Li Yunlong to worry about it more, so Li Yunlong can devote more energy to studying tactics and strategy.

Such are the benefits and advantages of a capable partner.

Wang Dehou, chief of staff on the side, and several combat staff officers also looked slightly happy when they heard the data on the casualties of the enemy and their own side.

The Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army had a five-to-one casualty ratio, and this battle was too enjoyable.

At the beginning, the national army was on the frontal battlefield, and the national army was able to fight with the Japanese army in a five-to-one battle loss ratio, which was already considered a victory.

And now, the casualty ratio of the Eighth Route Army to the Japanese army is also 1 to 5.

Of course, this is also the reason why the overall weaponry and individual quality of the Eighth Route Army are not strong enough.

If the weaponry and individual quality of the entire 129th Division were the same as those of the new regiment, then the casualty ratio between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army in this battle was estimated to be about 1 to 10.

Throughout World War II and the Pacific War, the casualty ratio between the U.S. and Japanese forces was about 1 to 10.

"The headquarters will move from Liaoxian County to Taiyuan next month."

Zhao Gang finished reporting the casualties and the killing of the enemy, closed the folder and said.

There are also large quantities of captured weapons and ammunition, war materiel and food, which are being counted.

However, these are all small heads, Li Yunlong didn't pay too much attention to it, and the part of the business with Boss Chen was the wealth of the sky.

"The safety of the head of the headquarters is a top priority."

Li Yunlong nodded and looked at Wang Dehou:

"Chief of Staff, you send a telegram to the headquarters, asking the headquarters to arrange for the best comrades to come to Taiyuan to find out the devils and the spies and agents of the Jin Sui Army lurking in Taiyuan."

The Eighth Route Army also had an underground transportation station in Taiyuan.

Of course, there are devils and Jin Sui army, and even the central and military commanders of the national army.

All forces attach great importance to intelligence.

The important reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to achieve such great results in more than two years was that in addition to Boss Chen's support in weapons and ammunition, there was also support in intelligence.

As for the command of the new 1st regiment, the new 2nd regiment and the independent regiment, they will definitely go to the front.

Wherever the troops hit, the command is there.

"Yes."

Wang Dehou quickly drafted a telegram and handed it to the guards to take to the communication room next door.

Now the place where the Eighth Route Army's telegraph operators receive and send telegrams is the former Communications Department of the First Army of the Devils.

With the best underground comrades and Boss Chen's telecommunications detection vehicle, it is not difficult to find out the spies and agents lurking in Taiyuan.

"And."

"Taiyuan's Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport, these two airports should be repaired as soon as possible."

Li Yunlong clicked on the map, looked at Wang Dehou and said.

Since the aviation units of the North China Front were all killed by the planes of the Eighth Route Army, and the Xincheng Airport and Wusu Airport were also bombed, the devils did not repair much.

Even when the devils were escaping, they detonated the oil depot and ammunition depot at the airport.

However, it was not a big problem for the Eighth Route Army, and with sufficient supplies and workers, the two airfields could soon be repaired and put into use.

"Yes!"

Wang Dehou nodded and said:

"I will contact Deputy Head Xing as soon as possible to arrange for the transportation of materials and workers to Taiyuan."

Li Yunlong nodded: "Repair Beitongpu Road as soon as possible and transport it by train, which is much faster than using cars to pull personnel and materials." ”

The Beitongpu Railway has not been opened to traffic for a long time.

However, neither the Eighth Route Army nor the Japanese army damaged the railway on a large scale, and no matter who won the battle, they could use the railway.

Only a small part was damaged in battle, and with spare rails, sappers and railroadmen were able to repair it quickly.

There are already three airports in the northwest of Shanxi Province, and the fourth Heyuan airport is being built at an accelerated pace, and both the engineers and workers of the Eighth Route Army are very experienced in building airports.

Zhao Gang smiled slightly: "Shanxi is in ruins, it seems that we still have a lot of work to do." ”

"But..."

Wang Dehou said:

"At present, Shanxi is not under the control of our Eighth Route Army, in the south of Zhongtiao Mountain, there are Tang Enbo's 100,000 Central Army, and in the west of Luliang Mountain, there are Yan Xishan's 70,000 or 80,000 Jin Sui Army."

Zhao Gang's expression moved: "Chief of Staff, do you mean that this Jin Sui Army and the Central Army may attack us and seize the fruits of victory?" ”

Wang Dehou said: "It's not impossible, the Southern Anhui Incident at the beginning of last year is an example, those people can do anything." ”

However, this time, Li Yunlong, who put "labor and capital defense is this friendly army", did not have much worry.

"Don't worry, Tang Enbo and Yan Laoxi are both masters who bully the weak and fear the hard, and they don't dare to do anything to our Eighth Route Army with a few of their courage."

"What's more, you think the head of our headquarters eats dry food?"

"Look at it, it won't be long before the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army will have to obediently withdraw from Zhongtiao Mountain and Luliang Mountain."

If the "friendly forces" dare to take the initiative to provoke friction, it will really be a double happiness for the Eighth Route Army.

Even if the Central Army of Zhongtiao Mountain and the Jin Sui Army of Luliang Mountain were combined, it would not be enough to stuff Li Yunlong's new group into his teeth.

Wang Dehou nodded, then changed his words and said: "Regiment commander, then now that the main force of the devils of the North China Front is being eaten, should we rest for a while first, or continue to attack to the east?" ”

"Let's get some rest."

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said:

"Although the main force of the North China Front has now been eliminated by us, attacking to the east and north can recover the North China Plain and a large area of Mongolia."

"But after a month of fighting, the troops need to replenish and recuperate."

"In addition, I want to emphasize that the strategic goal of our Eighth Route Army is mainly to kill devils, not to recover more territory than anyone else."

"If you kill a lot of devils, the territory will naturally be recovered, if you only take back the territory, but let the devils go, it will be tantamount to doing it in vain."

Although the county seat was recovered, Boss Chen also had a business in weapons and ammunition, but it was all a small business.

The business of killing devils is the big one.

Zhao Gang agreed: "What the regiment commander said is right, we must first stabilize the large rear of Shanxi before we can continue the attack." ”

Li Yunlong said: "This is called taking too big a step, and it is easy to pull the egg." ”

"Although the main force of the devils of the North China Front Army was eaten by us." Zhao Gang said with a solemn expression: "But I guess that the devil will not give up North China easily." ”

"The next battle may be a strategic decisive battle between our Eighth Route Army and the main force of the Japanese army."

"A strategic decisive battle is to gamble on the fate of the country and the fate of the army."

"The overall strength of the Japanese army is still much stronger than our Eighth Route Army."

"Lao Li, have you contacted Boss Chen, how much is the price of this business?"

Finally, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and asked expectantly.

Wang Dehou on the side also showed an extremely expectant look on his face.

In a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army, without the assistance of Boss Chen, the Eighth Route Army would not have the capital to fight.

And after the battle of Zhengtai, the business earned should be enough to fight one or two strategic decisive battles, right?
