Chapter 594 Results and Losses!
three days later.

Peiping.

North China Front Army Command.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the casualties of each division have been counted!"

Deputy Chief of Staff Arisue Seizo held a folder in his hand, walked into the commander's office, and reported to Neiji Okamura.

On the side, Moritake Tanabe turned his head to look at Seizo Arisue. Moritake Tanabe had already arrived in Taiyuan in advance, and then flew back to Beiping from Taiyuan to report the specific combat details to Neji Okamura.

Neiji Okamura said in a deep voice, "Read!"

“嗨！”有末精三双手捧着文件夹念道，“第10师团伤亡1万6千余人，第21师团伤亡4100余人，第23师团伤亡4000余人，第25师团伤亡4200余人，第35师团伤亡3900余人，合计伤亡3万2千余人。”

"Major General Tamuro Miura, Commander of the 8th Brigade!"

"In addition, almost all the more than 2 members of the Locust Alliance Army were killed!"

"Nani? The locust army suffered more than 3 casualties?" Tanabe Shengwu couldn't help shrinking his pupils. He knew that the locust army must have suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, but he didn't expect such a large number of casualties.

"idiot!"

Neiji Okamura was so shocked that he couldn't speak at first, then he threw away the documents on the table, drew out his command saber with a swipe, and chopped the newly replaced table into two pieces.

He was angry that the five elite divisions of the Locust Army plus more than 2 Imperial Association Army attacked the Tuba Road, which had less than half of the Locust Army and the Imperial Association Army.

It's such a big loss.

This is simply a disgrace to Neiji Okamura!

The shame of the North China Front Army!

Although Ningji Okamura has a great strategic mind and first-class tactical command ability, he is not always victorious.

In May and September 1939, he launched the Xiangdong offensive against China's Fifth Theater (Battle of Suizao) and the Hunan-Jiangxi Battle against the Ninth Theater (the first Changsha Battle), both of which ended in failure.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Neiji Okamura asked coldly, "How many casualties are there on the Eight Routes?"

This statistic does not include the Japanese casualties in the Xinzhou campaign, and does not include the Japanese casualties in the Miaoergou battle.

If all of this is added up, the casualties of the Japanese army alone will be nearly 4.

Yumo Jingsan said: "According to the statistics reported by the various divisions, the total number of casualties on the Eighth Route is around 1!"

"The casualties of the Locust Army, the Locust Alliance Army, and the Eighth Route Army are four to one!" Okamura Ningji's forehead burst into blue veins. In the battle he commanded, he had never had such an outrageous casualty ratio.

If Li Yunlong and Xinyituan were wiped out, the price of the casualties could be fully borne.

But it is a pity that the casualties of the Eighth Route Army this time are far from the level of serious injuries.

Neiji Okamura knew very well that with the terrifying development capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, it would be able to restore its original strength within a month or two at most, and even with assistance from external channels, the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi would have even more troops.

It is estimated that the next time the Japanese army launches such a sweeping operation will be half a year later.

Just mobilizing supplies and mobilizing troops requires several months of preparation time.

And half a year later, I am afraid that the strength of the Eighth Route in Northwest Shanxi has doubled. If we want to attack Northwest Shanxi by then, we may need to use more than 20 to [-] troops.

By that time, with the command style of Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear the large-scale attack on the first army.

When Taiyuan falls and Shanxi is taken back by the Chinese army, the Chinese army will use Shanxi as a springboard to attack North China.

At this moment, Okamura Ningji thought very far.

But the more he thought about it, the more headache Okamura Neji felt.

It's all damn Li Yunlong. If it weren't for Li Yunlong, how could the locust army have lost so much? !

Neiji Okamura withdrew his thoughts and looked at Seizo Yumo: "Kun Yumo!"

Arisue Seizo hastily bowed his head as if listening.

"Immediately report the battle damage and enemy kill reports to the base camp."

Okamura Ningci said in a deep voice: "And revealed to the outside world that the locust army suffered 1 casualties in the Northwest Shanxi battle, and 6 casualties from the Eight Route Army."

"Hi!" Yusue Seizo turned and left.

Watching Arisue Seizo leave, Okamura Neiji looked at Tanabe Moritake.

Tanabe Shengwu said: "Your Excellency, the Locust Army has fallen into the quagmire of a protracted war. If things go on like this, it will be very bad for the Locust Army and the Empire of Japan!"

"Tanabe-kun, what I'm really worried about is." Neiji Okamura said worriedly, "The Chinese army counterattacked the locust army."

Moritake Tanabe was astonished and said, "Nani, counterattack?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is a bit unfounded, isn't it?"

"Although this time the locust army's raid against the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi failed."

"But the casualties of the Eight Routes in Northwest Shanxi are not small. They can't even defend their bases, let alone counterattack?"

Neji Okamura snorted coldly, and said in a solemn tone: "At present, the strength of the Eighth Route in Northwest Shanxi is already strong enough, and this time it failed to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route in Northwest Shanxi. In addition, the arsenal of the 129th Division in Southeast Shanxi has already formed. In terms of scale, within one to two years at most, the Eighth Route Army will attack the First Army and the North China Front Army!"

"What should the locust army do?" Asked Tanabe Shengwu, already aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"Take a long-term view on this matter, Tanabe-kun, immediately summarize the reasons for the failure of this mopping operation." Thinking of this, Neiji Okamura felt a little headache.

Moritake Tanabe bowed his head: "Hi!"

……

at the same time.

Hengshan area, the former headquarters of the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Now it is the regiment headquarters of the new regiment.

Three days have passed since the 10th Division was forced to retreat.

Li Yunlong has ordered the sixth and seventh battalions to withdraw from Baozi Mountain, and has now joined the main force.

Along with the sixth and seventh battalions of the division, there was also the 2nd cavalry battalion of the new regiment.

At present, the new cavalry regiment has two battalions, with a total of more than 900 people.

In the battle of Onomura, the 1st Cavalry Battalion captured about 300 more army horses.

Most of the army horses were killed, but these army horses were not wasted, and all of them were pulled over by the automobile battalion.

and so.

The new regiment currently has nearly 1500 military horses. When he returns to the base area, Li Yunlong plans to expand the 1st and 2nd cavalry battalions into more than 700 cavalry troops.

The 10th Division of the Japanese Army did not return to Taiyuan immediately, but after joining with the 1st Cavalry Brigade.

Stationed in the Xinzhou area, in case the three regiments in Northwest Shanxi join together, they will return to attack one or two second-line divisions among the other four divisions.

Although it has just been baptized in World War I, with the current combat power of Xinyi Regiment, it is still very easy to defeat a second-tier division, let alone a second-tier division that is not at its peak.

"According to the number of enemies annihilated according to the reports of various ministries, it is conservatively estimated that the total number of Japanese troops annihilated by our new regiment exceeds 2."

Regiment Headquarters, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong:

"Our new regiment suffered more than 4800 casualties, of which more than 2000 were sacrificed and more than 2800 were injured."

The statistics of the killed enemies include the battles in Miaoergou, Baozishan and other places, so the number of casualties also includes these two battles.

Li Yunlong nodded. It was almost the same casualties when he fought against the 36th Division.

But this time the number of enemies wiped out was larger than last time, because in the last battle, most of the casualties of soldiers were caused by street fighting.

Zhao Gang also nodded: "The casualties are within an acceptable range."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes: "I don't know what the results and losses of the new second regiment and the independent regiment are?"
