The troops of the 277th Division, which was attacking 1511, quickly completed the retreat. They could not retreat without retreating, because it was about to light up in less than 2 hours, and they had to retreat to a safe place!

"Report, the war damage has been counted!" A staff officer handed it to Zhang Zhi with a telegram.

When Zhang Zhi heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Because according to regulations, the chief officer could not sit in the same car during the battle, so he was the only one in the command car at the division level.

As for the situation of war damage, Zhang Zhi had previously predicted that the casualties would be very large, so now that he heard that the war damage had already come out, he was a little panicked, or in other words, under great pressure.

"Teacher Commander!" The staff officer shouted when he saw that Zhang Zhi did not answer the telegram.

Zhang Zhi heard this, took the telegram, and looked nervously.

"3578 people were sacrificed, 4473 people were seriously injured, 23 tanks were damaged, and 45 armored personnel carriers were damaged."

"Mad!" After seeing the war loss report, Zhang Zhi cursed sadly. In this battle, his armored division suffered nearly half of the losses.

He sat in the car and didn't speak for more than ten minutes. He didn't know what to say, or he couldn't accept this result.

"Send telegrams to the commander, the commander of the group army, and the headquarters to tell them the result of the war damage!" Zhang Zhi sat there and spoke.

"Yes!" The staff officer heard it, took the telegram sent by Zhang Zhi and began to send telegrams to the superior department.

In the 28th Army headquarters, the commander Lynch did not sleep all night, and he was waiting for the frontline combat report.

After all, the 277th Division is his unit this time, and it is also the first time he participated in the war. Therefore, he attaches great importance to the results and losses of the war.

"Captain, the war loss telegram is here!" At this time, the staff officer on duty took the telegram to Lynch.

Lynch heard it and looked at it with a telegram.

"How could there be such a big casualty? We are the armored division, an armored division, sneak attacking two German infantry divisions, and attacking from the back, and such a big casualty occurred. What battle did Zhang Zhi fight? Ah?" Lynch shouted in anger after seeing the telegram.

He had thought of a large number of casualties before, but he had predicted that it would not exceed one-third, but now it is almost one-half, and the armored vehicles have also suffered a lot of losses.

"I don't know, their troops are retreating now! I think Germany's combat effectiveness is still very strong, right?" The staff officer heard it and said to Lynch.

"No matter how powerful it is, it is an infantryman. We are the troops of the armored division. Before fighting, Zhang Zhi said, "There is definitely no problem, so is it no problem?" Lynch said there.

At the Army Command, Deng Chuanshi also saw the telegram. After reading the telegram, Deng Chuanshi did not speak, but instead thought with his hands behind his back.

"Captain, the fight was not good this time, our casualties were a bit serious!" Chief of Staff Ye Qibang said.

"Well, the commander should be angry, it's completely beyond our expectations. It was already arranged, but it turned out to be like this. It seems that the commander is going to rectify us this time!" Deng Chuanshi stood there, nodded and said.

"Captain, logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big casualty. We obviously have the advantage. How can we still be like this?" Ye Qibang asked.

"I don't know, the commander has already arranged everything that should be arranged. The commander just changed the combat plan and asked the troops led by Wang Xianming to retreat and retreat to our side.

The original plan for the daytime yesterday was to let them go to Afghanistan, but now it has changed. I don’t know what the headquarters is thinking, or if there may be changes in Germany.” Deng Chuanshi said.

"What should I do next? Zhang Zhi's performance was not good this time. Do you need to deal with it? Moreover, the 277th Division must rest and apply for new recruits to the headquarters at that time!" Ye Qibang asked.

"Well, let's talk about the matters that have been handled when the headquarters has expressed its opinions. Let the political commissar deal with the matters of the recruits.

This time we were not prepared, thinking that there would be no pressure to deal with infantry. Who knew that German infantry should not be underestimated." Deng Chuanshi stood there and nodded.

In fact, he is under greater pressure now, even greater than Zhang Zhi. He is worried that Hu Bin will deal with Zhang Zhi. If Hu Bin handles Zhang Zhi, it means that Hu Bin is not satisfied with the commanders and division commanders of these army commanders.

This battle also showed Hu Bin's ability to command. His command ability was fine, and Hu Bin had arranged many things before the battle.

The problem is not Hu Bin's command, but at the last moment of their execution. So, once Hu Bin gets angry, they have no choice.

Also, I don’t know how Hu Bin will rectify the troops below. If Hu Bin wants to rectify, he can only implement it.

Therefore, his subordinates would blame him for not keeping them.

Now not only Hu Bin needs to establish prestige in the army, but also the commanders of their army groups and the commanders of each army must establish prestige.

Because these troops were all drawn from other troops and temporarily formed troops, those commanders were not familiar with the division commanders and officers at all levels.

Hu Bin at the command center did not speak after seeing the war loss telegram, but stood there thinking.

"The casualties are a bit big, almost half of them!" Li Nian looked at the war damage report and said to Hu Bin.

Hu Bin nodded.

"Commander, what should I do now?" Xu Jing looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"What should I do?" Hu Bin heard it and looked at Xu Jing in confusion.

When Xu Jing heard Hu Bin's retort, he was a little speechless. In his opinion, Hu Bin's battle this time was considered a failure, and the commanders below must be dissatisfied.

"What should we do? The troops below are not well fought, what can we do? Investigate the officers below?" Li Nian looked at Xu Jing in disguise and said.

"Why are you dismissed? It is inevitable that such a thing happens to the recruits. As long as you correct your mistakes, you can do it.

Our lack of understanding of our own troops and the underestimation of the combat effectiveness of the German troops are the reasons for the excessive casualties in this battle. All troops at all levels must pay attention to it." Hu Bin sat there and said.

"Well, that's right. I hope to alert the commanders below!" Li Nian heard it and said to Hu Bin.

"The political commissar, from the Northwest Army Station, mobilized new recruits to the 277th Division, and gave the 277th Division 15 days to train. In 15 days, they may still have to go to the battlefield." Hu Bin said to Li Nian.

"So fast? How to train?" Xu Jing heard this and looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"The soldiers at the military station are all trained soldiers, so why can't they fight? How can they train? I will teach them this?" Hu Bin heard it and looked at Xu Jing with dissatisfaction.

"Yes!" Xu Jing nodded when he heard this.

"Commander, are you going to convene the troops of the First Army and hold a meeting. We are about to fight in northern Iran, and we must unify the idea of ​​combat!" Li Nian looked at Hu Bin and asked.

"No, I'll talk about it after the fight. Nothing is useful now. By the way, send a telegram to Zhang Zhi, and make up for the next battle." Hu Bin stood up and said to a senior staff officer next to him.

"Yes!" The senior staff officer went out immediately.

"Commander, what is the next action of the troops?" Xu Jing stood there, looking at Hu Bin and asked.

"Training, fighting with German troops, the key to the problem is not the First Army, but the Second Army.

They are now in Afghanistan, and German and Japanese troops attack Afghan troops. They can withstand the situation of defeat for up to one week, and after one week, they will be defeated.

Our troops must be prepared for combat, send telegrams to the Second Army, telling them to be prepared to fight at any time." Hu Bin said to Xu Jing.

"Yes!" Xu Jing nodded when he heard this.

In Germany, the Chief of Staff came to Guderian and said to Guderian: "Report, we still can't contact the troops in Neshapur, including the regiment-level troops, and we can't contact them anymore.

According to our reconnaissance aircraft report, Neshapur has stopped fighting because it was night and we have not yet discovered the direction of the retreat of Chinese troops!"

"Damn it. Our troops are finished!" When Guderian heard this, he knew that the troops of his two infantry divisions had been wiped out.

"Find Chinese troops and see where they retreat and find them immediately. If our troops can carry out bombing after dawn tomorrow, they will carry out bombing missions immediately and kill them!" Guderian sat there and said to the Chief of Staff.

"Yes!" The Chief of Staff heard it and nodded.

"Have the troops behind set off now?" Guderian asked while sitting there.

"We have already set out. It is expected that tomorrow night, one of our armored divisions will be able to reach Neshapur, and at the same time, another armored division's troops will be able to reach the Kashmal area.

The infantry unit may not be until the morning after tomorrow. We have insufficient vehicles and it will take time to allocate!" The Chief of Staff said as he looked at Guderian's report.

"Let them pass quickly. We cannot lose the northern part of Iran. We must control it there, otherwise, our troops attacking Afghanistan will not be safe!" Guderian sat there and spoke.

"I understand that now our troops will be able to reach the designated area soon." The Chief of Staff nodded.

"As long as our troops arrive there, we still control it, Hu Bin's troops will still not go south, that's enough." Guderian said. He now also knows the importance of northern Iran.
