Chapter 653 Rotation
"Sir, this is the casualty report of the dispatched corps as of noon today."

Gao Hongming glanced at the report handed over by Chi Yaohui, and frowned: "Why are there so many casualties?"

"There is no way. The east side of Tululu Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The task we undertake is the most difficult task. Of course, casualties are inevitable."

"But it's too much. In the past half month alone, our casualties have reached more than 200 people. According to this way of fighting, we will have to lose all our people in a few months."

Looking at the casualty report in his hand, Gao Hongming only felt distressed.

As long as these surviving fighters can temper for another year or so, they will definitely be one of the most elite troops in the country.

Seeing Gao Hongming's distressed look, Chi Yaohui comforted him: "Sir, don't worry, our replenishment of troops will arrive in a few days, and our dispatch team will be full of elite soldiers again." teacher."

Gao Hongming still didn't feel relieved: "But it doesn't work all the time. This battle will have to be fought for at least two or three years. If it is always so exhausting, it is estimated that few of the boys who sent the corps will be able to return home alive."

But Chi Yaohui asked in surprise: "Sir, how do you know that this battle will last for two or three years?"

"broken."

Gao Hongming was startled, and only then realized that he had accidentally slipped his mouth.

Of course, he who came through time knew that Japan would not announce its surrender until 45 years, and now it is only 42 copies in 10 years, and there are still more than two years before the surrender of the Japanese government.

But Chi Yaohui didn't know.

"This... I also figured it out myself." Gao Hongming laughed, "Think about it, it's so difficult for us to fight just a small melon island.

Look at how many islands there are in the Pacific Ocean. The Americans want to push all the way to the mainland of Japan. I don’t know how many islands need to be attacked. Can it be done in three or two years?

Furthermore, even if all the Pacific islands are occupied, the Japanese mainland must be attacked. Will the casualties be reduced by then? "

"It is."

Chi Yaohui agreed with Gao Hongming's words, "The Japanese nation is so crazy, once we land on the Japanese mainland in the future, the resistance we will encounter will be unimaginable.

Judging from this assumption, the two to three years you mentioned is still too optimistic. In my opinion, at least five or six years is reasonable.It's just that it will be too hard for the young man in the dispatch team. "

Chi Yaohui, who said this, didn't know that there was something called an atomic bomb in this world, and when they were hit by two, no matter how stubborn they were, they could only kneel down and surrender obediently.

"Hey, old Chi, I have an idea here, let's see if it works." Looking at Chi Yaohui with a look of unbearable expression on his face, an idea suddenly popped up in Gao Hongming's mind.

"Sir, please tell me."

"That's what I thought...you see."

Gao Hongming took out a cigarette from his pocket, gave one to the other party, and said enthusiastically: "You see, since the end of the Taiyuan Battle, our troops have also entered a state of rest.

After more than two months of rest, most of the troops have basically recovered their combat effectiveness. In this case, can we implement a rotation system? "

"Rotation system?"

"Yes."

Gao Hongming's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Look...we still have nine infantry battalions, four artillery battalions, and two armored battalions in Liantai County.

These troops are all nestled in the garrison, but they always send the corps to fight fiercely in the Pacific Ocean. Isn't it inappropriate?My plan is this, we will transfer one or two battalions from China to the Pacific every month, and replace the two infantry battalions of the dispatched corps back to China.

In this way, the troops can be rested, and the jungle combat experience and ability of the troops can be exercised to reduce the fatigue of the troops. What do you think? "

Chi Yaohui thought for a while, "I think it's okay, the Japanese army in Shanxi has suffered a lot of casualties after the Taiyuan Battle, and they can't recover without half a year's rest.

If we only dispatch one or two battalions every month, the overall impact on the army will not be very great. I think your idea is OK. "

"Well, you have to work hard these few days, make a plan for this matter and give it to me. As long as there are no major problems, this matter will be settled like this."

Ever since, this matter was settled in a few words between the two of them.

Taiyuan Shanxi
With the restoration of Taiyuan, Yan Xishan and the World War II zone led by him can be said to be in the limelight for a while.

As the first theater commander to lead his troops to recover the provincial capital, newspapers all over the country have praised the World War II zone, the Jinsui Army, and Yan Xishan fiercely these days.

Of course, although ordinary people know who the biggest contributor to Taiyuan's restoration is, this does not prevent newspapers from all over the country from praising the Jinsui Army.

There is no way, how could such a major event that inspired the confidence of the people of the whole country not to publicize it vigorously.If you don't promote Yan Xishan or the Jinsui Army, is it possible to promote the Eighth Route Army and the Liantai Militia?
Even if the local newspapers are willing, Chongqing will not agree.

After more than a month of major relocation, the Jinsui army returned to the capital where they had been away for five years.

The weather in October has brought a little bit of coolness. Yan Xishan, who only wore a shirt, stood by the imperial well of Jinci Temple, watching the clear water gushing from the mouth of the well in silence, and he remained motionless like this. The status has been more than half an hour.

The two guards behind looked at each other, feeling a little anxious, but they didn't dare to disturb them.

The guard on the right winked at his companion, then turned and walked back quickly.

Soon, accompanied by a rush of footsteps, a gentle voice sounded behind Yan Xishan.

"Old man, you've been here for a long time, why haven't you gone back for dinner, everyone is waiting for you?"

When Yan Xishan turned his head, he saw a virtuous, dignified, and beautiful woman in a blue cheongsam standing behind, looking at him with reproachful eyes.

Seeing someone coming, Yan Xishan stroked his hair, and said a little embarrassedly: "So it's Fifth Sister, why are you here?"

The visitor's name was Yan Huiqing, who was born to Qu Shi, the third wife of Yan Shudian, Yan Xishan's uncle.She is the fifth among Yan Shudian's five daughters, so others call her Miss Wu or Fifth Sister.

In terms of seniority, Yan Huiqing is Yan Xishan's cousin. Yan Xishan is 27 years old, and she is smart, so she is deeply loved and trusted. She has been Yan Xishan's life secretary since she was an adult, taking care of Yan Xishan's daily life.

"If I don't come, are you going to stand here until dark?"

Yan Huiqing walked to Yan Xishan's side, and put the coat in her hand on him.
