Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 1129 Has it worked? (First update!)

At eight o'clock in the morning, the captain of the regiment arrived on time at the station of the Fifth Infantry Battalion.

"Sir, last night our three brigades had a total of 843 casualties, including 628 from the imperial army. The sixth brigade suffered the most casualties. An infantry squadron, a logistics squadron, and an entire army were wiped out. The artillery squadron and heavy machine gun squadron suffered heavy losses and died in battle. 395 people..."

"Fifth Infantry Battalion lost slightly better, but still over 150 dead!"

"The Fourth Infantry Battalion suffered the smallest loss, with less than 70 people killed in battle..."

"In addition, the infantry squadrons and supply squadrons of the Sixth Battalion that were wiped out, and all the weapons and ammunition that accompanied the army and carried were seized by the Eighth Route Army!"

The entire battle process was clear to the captain as soon as he came over, and he immediately reacted when he heard the casualties and losses!

"Bageyalu, we have been tricked by the cunning Eighth Route Army again!"

"The Eighth Route Army's ambush of the Sixth Battalion must have been a sudden decision of the Eighth Route Army. Their goal is not to kill our Sixth Battalion, but the weapons and ammunition that the Sixth Battalion lost!"

"They are too cunning, knowing that they are not our opponents on the battlefield, and then they ambushed us when they were retreating, biting off a piece of fat from us to make up for their losses on the battlefield and the consumption of weapons and ammunition!"

The faces of the three captains suddenly turned pale, and they didn't react from the shock until now.

The captain of the Sixth Battalion took a long time to react: "Sir, what you mean is that the reason why our Sixth Battalion was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army at the last moment of the battle was a speedy and strange ambush. It wasn't They want to kill us, but to take advantage of us and make up for the loss!"

"That's right...whether the Eighth Route Army's attack last night would have been in vain!" the regimental captain affirmed.

"Don't forget, the Eighth Route Army has always been fighting by fighting. They don't have special logistics supplies, and all the weapons and ammunition needed for the battle rely on combat supplies. If they spent so many weapons and ammunition last night, the attack did not capture a single bullets, then they will definitely be short of guns and ammunition in the next battle, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops!"

"So, they have to make a fortune before they leave, get some weapons and ammunition from us and go back!"

"All the equipment and rapid ammunition of an infantry squadron and a logistics squadron, if we guess wrong, except for the mountain artillery shells, all kinds of ammunition used by the Eighth Route Army to attack us last night, those cunning can make up for it!"

"Hi!" The captain of the Sixth Brigade affirmed with a sullen face.

Both squadrons belonged to him, and no one knew better than him how much equipment and ammunition he had lost.

The regiment leader didn't stop, and continued to ask, "Do you know how many people the Eighth Route Army lost when they attacked us!"

There was hardly a corpse of the Eighth Route Army left on the entire battlefield, and the three captains immediately lowered their heads, not knowing how to answer.

The leader of the Fifth Squadron, who was under attack, hesitated for a long time and replied: "Sir, I am sure that I am sure that we have severely damaged at least two main companies of the Eighth Route Army in the defensive battle, and repelled their three company-scale attacks!"

"I'm sure that the fifth brigade killed at least 400 people from the Eighth Route Army in one night's battle!"

The captain of the Sixth Battalion followed suit and added: "The Eighth Route Army's ambush did not go as smoothly as expected."

"Our imperial army wiped out by them is all elite, I believe them. Therefore, the Sixth Battalion killed at least 250 people from the Eighth Route Army!"

The captain of the Fourth Brigade finally replied: "We did not engage in a frontal exchange of fire with the Eighth Route Army. I don't know how many Eighth Route Army troops were killed, but it must not be less than 100!"

"In other words, we just killed the Eighth Route Army with less than 800 people!" The regiment leader's face quickly became serious, staring at several subordinates and asked back.

Then he scolded unceremoniously: "What are you all doing? Are you a bunch of stupid pigs? The battle is based on the superior terrain and you are still on the defensive, so you fight like this. You lost more than 800 people yourself, and even the same number of Eighth Route Army None of them were killed!"

"With this commanding ability, what do I want you guys to do... Get out!"

The three captains all lowered their heads and said nothing, even though the joint captain spit on himself, he dared not answer a word.

Lieutenant General Ito did not follow the troops to attack and sweep the Xinyi Regiment headquarters at the headquarters of the Japanese Army Division in Linfen City, but stayed in Linfen City to command all the attacking troops!
At nine o'clock in the morning, just after breakfast, the chief of staff hurried over with several telegrams.

"Division commander, frontline battle report!"

"Did the battle last night come to fruition? The Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment dispatched more than a dozen battalions at once. They are cunning and powerful. Has any infantry brigade been killed by them?" Lieutenant General Ito asked back, frowning. .

"Hi!" The chief of staff quickly replied.

"Although there were losses, the entire brigade was not completely wiped out by the Eighth Route Army because the distance between the brigades was too close!"

"According to statistics, a total of 13 battles broke out on the front line last night. The Imperial Army and the Imperial Alliance Army had a total of 1869 casualties~"

"Because the infantry brigades are very close to each other, they can quickly reinforce each other. The Eighth Route Army's attack only lasted an hour to two hours before it was over."

"Also, the casualties of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army were also very heavy. Preliminary statistics show that the Eighth Route Army fought and retreated in one night's battle, with a total of at least 3000 casualties!"

Lieutenant General Ito scolded angrily: "Do you think it is a very honorable thing to kill more than 800 Eighth Route Army with more than 3000 casualties?"

"When did the lives of the soldiers of the Imperial Army become so worthless? The life of one Imperial Army can't even be exchanged by two Eighth Route Army. Is it because the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army has become worse, or the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army has become stronger!"

"You know, on the battlefield in southwestern Shanxi, the sacrifice of one soldier of the imperial army can exchange at least four Jinsui troops!"

Seeing that the chief of staff kept his head down and said nothing, Lieutenant General Ito changed the subject and continued: "However, I am very happy to have such a result!"

"Our opponent is too cunning. In the past, if Wang Ping, the head of the new regiment, came to command the battle, we would have lost at least two or three full squadrons.

"But not this time, it is enough to prove that Wang Ping, the head of the new regiment, has nothing to do with our mopping up method for the time being!"

"What the general said is right!" the chief of staff complimented immediately.

Then he stared at the head of the division and asked, "Then what shall we do next?"

"Continue to raid the base of the Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment with the old method!" Lieutenant General Ito replied without thinking.

"Tell all the captains on the front line that during the entire sweeping process, no one can advance alone, there is no need to step by step, and we will not give our enemies any opportunity to take advantage of!"

The chief of staff immediately replied: "I'll give the order right away!"
