Since ancient times, what is the most common thing the generals who led the war after a day of bloody battles? They are to guide the country and the country to be fierce; they are to walk among the wounded soldiers and comfort every brave and wounded soldier; they are to talk with their subordinates about how to defeat the stubborn enemy at night; they are to hold solemn funerals for the fallen soldiers;

If your answer is the above, you are wrong!

Since ancient times, the first thing the generals have to do after a day of bloody battle is to count how many troops they have lost in this battle and how many troops they have under their command.

Most of the time, a mature general has a lot of similarities with a merchant. The army is the capital of a general. He uses this capital to gain eternal fame, fortune, or to protect his own ideals and pursuits. If a general does not care about his troops, he will not deserve to be a general.

At 8 p.m. on September 17, the conference room of the 18th Army Department was temporarily compiled, which was the ancestral hall in the small mountain village where the last meeting was held.

"There were 5,500 people participating in the first echelon today, about 1,200 people killed, more than 900 seriously injured, and more than 1,500 people slightly injured. A total of about 3,600 casualties were about 3,600 casualties." Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu was "honest" to serve as the host of the first topic of the military conference, and he would read out the casualties statistics of the 18th Army after the bloody battle today.

The first echelon was actually based on the 97th Independent Brigade, and formed a "share company" from various "princes" of the temporary 18th Army. In just one day, this "share company" lost more than 60% of the capital invested by everyone, and the "princes" who were sitting would not be in a good mood. Everyone gave their eyes to Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu on the stage, as if he had swallowed the strength of the big guy.

Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu knew in his heart that his current role was equivalent to a bird of death. He had no expectation that someone would look at him with a friendly look at him. After reading the first casualty statistics report without any fear, he immediately recited the second casualty statistics in a passionate tone.

"The new 72nd Division drove out in the afternoon, and the regiment suffered more than 500 casualties. The troops deployed in the 56th Division successively suffered more than 800 casualties. In the afternoon, the Independent 100 Division went up to the regiment for about 300 casualties."

The faces of the people who were named this time were even more exciting. Among these people, Gu Guoxiong's heart was the most sad, and he was about to cry. Gu Guoxiong's 56th Division, including the troops that joined the first echelon, suffered more than 1,100 casualties in one day. In other words, after the day of the battle, the 56th Division had a strong combat force of one-sixth Division. What made Gu Guoxiong feel most aggrieved was that all the troops of the 56th Division were now pressed on several side peaks on the front line of Fujin Mountain. The genius knew that if the Japanese wanted to fight like this one day tomorrow, there would be a few bird-haired men left in his 56th Division.

"Okay, stop thinking! Give me a summary. After fighting this day, how many people were killed and killed in our entire army!" Lieutenant General Huang could not allow the atmosphere in his conference room to remain so depressed. If this continues, why would there be any military meeting? Everyone cried.

"Military throne, including the casualties of the officers and artillery soldiers and artillery soldiers from the rear who were killed and injured by Japanese artillery fire, we suffered a total of more than 5,800 casualties in this day, and about 1,800 of them were killed!" Deputy Staff Qiu breathed a sigh of relief after saying these words, and finally he was liberated. The eyes of the fierce gods below looked at the taste of themselves, which was really uncomfortable.

"I lost almost 6,000 people in one day!" Deputy Chief of Staff Qiu was relieved, but Lieutenant General Huang's heart was pressed down on another big stone. Six thousand people! In other words, the 16th Army temporarily reduced its troops by one seventh of its troops in one day, and they were all combat soldiers.

"This battle cannot be fought like this anymore! If you continue like this, it will be defeated if you don't have to take three or four days! Tonight, Brigade Commander Liu, your cavalry unit will set off. You have a cavalry regiment with two battalions and seven companies. I will also assign two companies of the cavalry battalion of the Independent 100th Division, two companies of the cavalry battalion of the military headquarters, two companies of the cavalry battalion of the new 72nd Division, and two companies of the cavalry battalion of the 98th Division, so that you will have 1,600 cavalry in your hands, enough for you to traverse behind the enemy. My request is that within twelve hours, you must start me on the Japanese logistics line.

"Tonight, all the troops on the main peak will be withdrawn. The main peak position will be provided by the New 72nd Division, the Independent 100th Division and the Temporary 98th Division. I will appoint Chief Hu of the Military Department to be responsible for the front-line command!"

After this day of battle, Lieutenant General Huang has now fully realized that for troops with a serene force like the temporary 18th Army, only by mixing the troops in this way can everyone have no objection and the battle can continue smoothly.

The reason why no one expressed objection to Lieutenant General Huang's order was mainly because the commander of the division did not want to take on the burden of the main peak by himself. There was a huge hole there, no matter how many troops were filled in, they would be gone. Compared with allowing himself to defend the main peak independently, this plan for Lieutenant General Huang was acceptable to everyone.

"Enterprise Brigade Commander, your headquarters will ask your headquarters to go back to the mall for some rest. I have hung up the phone personally for the imitation man. He will ask someone to arrange some personnel to supplement you." Before the meeting, Lieutenant General Huang said to Zhongyuan silently during this meeting. In today's battle, the 97th Independent Brigade had the largest casualties. After only one day of fighting, an independent brigade of more than 3,000 people had three-fifths of casualties. It was indeed a good idea to ask them to go down and rest.

After hearing the command from the chief to Zhongyuan, he saluted Lieutenant General Huang and was about to walk outside the house. At this time, Lieutenant General Huang suddenly called him.

"To the brigade commander, please stay."

When he turned back to Zhongyuan, he saw that Lieutenant General Huang gave him a regular military salute, and then the officers in the room all salute him with a serious expression.

He was extremely excited to Zhongyuan and knew that everyone's military gift was not for him alone, but for all the soldiers of the 97th Independent Brigade. He did not refuse, but just gave him a greeting and walked out with great strides.

The bloody battle today, although the temporary 18th Army lost a lot of money, the Japanese army was also defeated.

"His division commander, our army lost about 3,900 officers and soldiers in today's battle, of which more than 600 casualties were caused by artillery raids in the morning by the Chinese army. A total of 1,123 officers and soldiers were killed and more than 2,800 injured."

Colonel Yoshihara, chief of staff of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, reported to Lieutenant General Ogisu's losses in the war on this day.

"That is to say, within one day, our division and the deployed troops lost about one-fifth of their combat power." The losses of the Japanese army were also unacceptable to Lieutenant General Ogisu's army.

"I suggest that our army's attack on the main peak of Fujin Mountain will change from main attack to restrain feint attack tomorrow. Turn to Nanchang to use its troops mainly to attack the side peaks of Fujin Mountain occupied by the Chinese army. As long as one or two side peaks can be taken down, the Chinese army will be shaken on the whole line. Among these side peaks, the two side peaks on the left side peak are easier to attack on the terrain. The above suggestion is that the division commander, please consider it carefully." The fact that the Japanese army lost more than 2,000 troops on the main peak today but found nothing, made Colonel Yoshihara feel from the front.

The main peak of Fujin Mountain that captured the Chinese army must have placed heavy troops was too high. Not to mention that the Japanese army may not be able to succeed in the attack on the main peak of Fujin Mountain. Even if they succeed, the Japanese army will definitely suffer great casualties according to the current situation. By then, the 13th Division may not have the strength to complete the attack mall task issued by the Second Army Command. From the perspective, it is better to take down one or two side peaks first to force the Chinese army to retreat across the line, and then defeat this Chinese army in the movement while chasing.

"The Chief of Staff's suggestion is very good, so please consider it!" The first person to express his agreement with Colonel Yoshihara's suggestion was Colonel Yezuo, who had just returned from the position of the Chinese army.

After Colonel Yoshihara returned from defeat, the commander of the Ogisu-Law Division wanted to make him apologize. It was Colonel Yoshihara who said, "This Chinese army does not have a unified style at all, and it cannot be blamed on the Lord of Yoshihara." He saved his life. At this time, Colonel Yoshihara made a proposal, and Colonel Yoshihara, who was very grateful to Colonel Yoshihara for saving his life, could not sponsor it very much.

"Your opinions." Lieutenant General Ogisu asked the other brigade commanders and corps leaders beside him that most of his subordinates had encountered tough nails on the main peak of Fujin Mountain and were reluctant to attack there again. He had no objection to the suggestions of Colonel Yoshihara, the chief of staff of the division.

"Okay!, tomorrow, Major General Yuemon Yamamoto will command the 103rd Brigade to focus on attacking the two side peaks on the left side peak of Toojin Mountain!" Lieutenant General Ogisu's 10th General would not see the dark clouds that enveloped his subordinates' hearts. After he sighed in his heart, he could only approve the combat plan proposed by Colonel Yoshihara to break through the flank of the Chinese military defense line, which was proposed by Colonel Yoshihara, to be at the same time, at about 11 o'clock in the evening, the cavalry regiment of the Independent 112th Brigade was stationed at the base of the Independent 11th Brigade.

"Brother Qi Tian, ​​this time you go deep into the enemy's backbone, I will give you eight words: "Avoid the real and attack the virtual, don't be greedy and don't be timid." Cheng Jiaji, who came to see Liu Tianlong off, said to Liu Tianlong with a smile.

"Haoran, you ran to this seven or eight miles in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be for me to tell you that these old things are fading! If you weren't for your bad boy, I wouldn't be able to do this "beautiful" no matter what I said! Just go for this, you have to take out the dry goods in your stomach." Liu Tianlong insisted on letting Cheng Jiaji give him some ideas.

"Brother Qi Tian, ​​then I really said it. Whether you listen or not is all up to you." Cheng Jiaji really only saw Liu Tianlong off this trip.

"Just say it, I'll listen." Liu Tianlong was really convinced of Cheng Jiaji, a young general who was more than ten years younger than him, and it was not entirely because Cheng Jiaji had guarded him in Guanhu Town, as long as it was because Cheng Jiaji could always have some new tricks and ways to fight. According to the sixth lady who was originally a foreign student who gathered in Xuchang (the first five were left in the Northeast). Cheng Jiaji could always have some creative thinking. Just for this, Liu Tianlong admired him.

Cheng Jiaji no longer circled with Liu Tianlong. After he sorted out his thoughts in his mind, he said to Liu Tianlong: "Brother Qi Tian, ​​if you go out for a swaying task this time, you will do it according to the eight words I just said. I promise no one can choose your fault. If you want to do something and let the world know you again. Then, as a brother, you will have two words to send to you, attack Ye Jiaji, and force Hefei from afar."

"Haoran, tell me in detail, how to fight near and far away?" Liu Tianlong was really interested in being caught in the ditches, and he asked repeatedly.

The two places Cheng Jiaji mentioned are extraordinary. Ye Jiaji is the current logistics point of the Japanese army. I think it must be a place where heavy troops are stationed. Hefei is even more amazing. It is the headquarters of the Japanese Second Army. At present, that place is like a dragon's and tiger's den. If someone changes, he will definitely think that Cheng Jiaji is harming him.

But who is Liu Tianlong? He is born with a beard and has no shortage of adventure and a gambler's personality. In addition, Cheng Jiaji's words made people re-recognize him Liu Tianlong is extremely tempting to him. Since then, what has bothered Liu Tianlong the most is that he always has the hat of a former traitor who cannot be removed. If he can fight a beautiful battle this time, then his living space with his Independent One-One-Two Brigade will be much larger than now, and he will no longer have to worry about living a nervous life.

"Although this Ye Family Ji is the current logistics point of the Japanese, according to the Japanese army's military habits and the tense forces of the Japanese army nowadays, it would be a big deal if the Japanese could station two brigades there. These two brigades will definitely be more weak-fighted baggage soldiers. Brother Qi Tian, ​​you only need to fight a few small battles on the supply line of the Japanese army near Ye Jia Ji. In less than two days, the Japanese army will inevitably draw troops from the Ye Jia Ji defenders to strengthen the escort force. Brother Qi Tian, ​​you just need to wait for the Japanese army.

When you have too many escort troops to the point where you are not easy to start, you can turn around and attack Ye Jiaji. Besides, Tian Jiafu and others are still qualified. After you take down Ye Jiaji, your brother wants to make great achievements, so you might as well run to Hefei to pick one or two county towns with relatively empty Japanese troops to fight surprise attacks in that place. In this way, won’t it shock Hefei! Then you can also fight near Hefei

The ambush of the Japanese small baggage troops, with the Japanese's less than half of the division in Hefei, he would not dare to dispatch heavy troops to escort the far-storage convoy every time. He couldn't figure out how much your troops were, and he always had to prevent you from playing the Ye family's hand in Hefei City again. In this way, the logistics support of the three and a half divisions of the Japanese army with Hefei as the general logistics base will be intermittent. At this time, you must be alert and don't let the Japanese army go.

The cavalry and chariot soldiers in Hefei were encircled. As long as this doesn't happen, it should be said that there is no big risk. As long as these two things can be done, you will have great contributions to the country. At that time, not only will you want that medal, you will have that medal, but I am sure I will call you Commander Liu." Cheng Jiaji's words made Liu Tianlong's face turn green, white, and red. It was obvious that Liu Tianlong's heart was in a fierce battle between heaven and man.

"I'll be hoping to fight him this time and be proud! We also want to taste what this famous anti-Japanese general feels like." After struggling for more than ten minutes in his heart, Liu Tianlong could not stop it. After the matter Cheng Jiaji told him, the huge benefits of Liu Tianlong personally and the Independent One and Two Brigades will tempt him. Of course, the combat plan proposed by Cheng Jiaji is still very feasible. Otherwise, no matter what Liu Tianlong did, he would not dare to shoot this board and use his life to bet.

While Cheng Jiaji was giving Liu Tianlong a face-to-face message, Tian Jiafu was also listening to Qian Shen’s teachings not far away.

"Chief Qian, what you mean is to let our special operations team members deal with all the traitors that can be killed." Tian Jiafu knew his identity very well. Although he was also a lieutenant colonel, he was very respectful to the colonel Qian Shen. Whenever he saw Qian Shen, Tian Jiafu was as respectful as a second lieutenant when he saw the colonel. When he spoke, he always used respectful words to address Qian Shen.

This is not only because Qian Shen is the chief of staff of the Independent 100th Division, but also because Qian Shen is his immediate boss and is in charge of the special operations team.

"You have to wear Japanese uniforms to kill traitors. You have to do things more beautifully and not reveal any clues. It is best to let the Japanese think that the soldiers in their troops sneak out of the barracks. Also, don't just do it near the marching route, which will give the Japanese a chance to judge the whereabouts of the cavalry. You must have a plan and irregular activity. The most important thing is that you are not allowed to hurt ordinary people when you go out this time, especially women. Otherwise, I will have to deal with it by military law after coming back. But do you take the property of the traitors? Take it if you can." Qian Shen's words were both threats and temptations, which made Tian Jiafu obediently obey and obey.

After exhorting to Tian Family Fu, Qian Shen was not relieved. If these people were outside, they would have suffered. To be on the safe side, he arranged a few "Dragon Teeth" people to watch them.

At 1:00 a.m. on September 18, after the Japanese army committed the "September and 18th" incident, the same day after seven years, the cavalry troops led by Liu Tianlong rushed behind the Japanese army.
