Chapter 468 Battle Summary
Chapter 468 Battle Summary
When Chu Yunfei stepped into Jincheng facing the rising sun and arrived in front of the Japanese camp, he was a little amused.
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army won a great victory in this battle. At the cost of less than 200 casualties and less than 800 serious or minor injuries, they wiped out eight to nine thousand Japanese troops, which can be called a great victory.
However, in this battle, most of the Japanese died because of the camp roar that occurred among the Japanese themselves.
It can be said that the 358th Regiment took advantage of the boss.
The third battalion commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army escorted a Japanese officer to Chu Yunfei and said, "Kneel down!"
The third battalion commander roared at the Japanese, and after the military translator translated it to the Japanese, the Japanese officer actually knelt down.
Ok?
Chu Yunfei was stunned. In all the years of fighting against the Japanese, it was rare to capture Japanese prisoners, let alone make a Japanese lieutenant colonel kneel down.
"Ask him why the Japanese bombed their camp last night?"
Chu Yunfei was very interested in the bombing of the Japanese camp. At this moment in 41 years, the Japanese soldiers were all veterans who had been through many battles and were quite experienced. Logically, the bombing of the camp should not have happened.
The Japanese said a lot of gibberish, and the translator's face became strange and then ugly.
Chu Yunfei keenly caught the change in the translator's expression: "What did that bastard Japs say?"
The translator hesitated for a moment and then said, "Report to the commander, the Japanese said that after the two heavy artillery explosions last night, they thought it was the Eighth Route Army attacking again, so all the Japanese soldiers were very nervous and there was a camp howl.
Just now the Japanese said that if they knew it was the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that was attacking, they wouldn’t be so nervous.”
Chu Yunfei: "......"
Chu Yunfei looked at the Japanese lieutenant colonel lying on the ground and saw a hint of resentment in his eyes. It was obvious that he could not accept the fact that he was captured by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
"Don't feel resentful. Being captured is being captured. You have to atone for the heinous crimes you bastards committed in China.
The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army never accepts Japanese prisoners.
Go, drag him out and shoot him.
And all those captured devils, bury them alive at the city gate. I will let all the devils in China see that all their sins will be settled.”
Chu Yunfei spoke out angrily.
"Yes!"
The third battalion commander of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army took several soldiers to deal with the captured guys.
After Fang Ligong finished the rough statistics, he came to Chu Yunfei and said, "Commander, we have won a great victory this time. I just did a rough count and found that more than 8300 Japanese were killed this time. With the more than 200 prisoners you just ordered to be taken away, the number should be no less than 8600.
Almost all of the Japanese's baggage was confiscated."
"Where are the two Japanese division commanders?"
Chu Yunfei was concerned about the whereabouts of the two Japanese commanders.
"Commander, when our Third Battalion entered the city, the Japanese 35th Division Commander Harada Yukichi and the Japanese 37th Division Commander Ando Nijizo had already retreated from the north gate under the cover of the Imperial Guard.
Since they were retreating in a car, we may not be able to catch up with them now."
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong reported the situation to Chu Yunfei.
Ugh!
Chu Yunfei sighed heavily. It was a pity that he didn't catch any big fish from the Japanese.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had attacked Jincheng today in the same way as Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County, with no assists and only main attacks, would the two division commanders of the Japanese devils not have run away today?
What a pity, there is no if.
Fang Ligong suddenly came up to Chu Yunfei and said, "Congratulations, Commander. Congratulations, Commander. In this battle, we have wiped out more than 8600 Japanese soldiers and recovered a core city like Jincheng. Your military achievements are truly outstanding.
I would like to congratulate the group leader on his promotion in advance."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said a few perfunctory words.
However, he did not feel happy at all in his heart. He did not know whether it was because he was the division commander who let two Japanese invaders go, or because he had achieved this military achievement by taking advantage of the Eighth Route Army's loopholes, or he simply felt that there was no point in fighting the Japanese invaders in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
However, only Chu Yunfei knew such secret thoughts.
......
At the headquarters, the commander and a group of senior commanders are summarizing this battle.
"Commander, we have compiled the results of our battle. Please review them."
The chief of staff handed the commander a combat report.
"No need to review it. Chief of Staff, just read it to everyone."
After winning such a great victory, the commander had a beaming smile on his face, and there wasn't even a wrinkle on his rough face.
"Okay, then I'll read it to you. I won't read the previous nonsense, I'll just read out some numbers.
In the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, our troops wiped out the remaining Japanese troops, including 3 lieutenant generals, 7 major generals, and more than 90 major-level officers.
622 mortars and a number of mortar shells, 92 Type 47 infantry guns and a number of shells were seized.
214 trucks.
......
There are also various other baggage items.”
The chief of staff briefly briefed everyone present on the situation.
"Wait, what's with all these extra heads? One Japanese soldier is one Japanese soldier, how come you can't count them all? Could it be that the Japanese soldier behind you has grown legs and ran away?"
The commander had no questions about other data, but he was a little dissatisfied with the number of Japanese troops killed. He thought it was the right number, so what was going on with the surplus?
"Commander, it's not that our soldiers don't keep good statistics, it's mainly because some of the devils can't be counted."
"why?"
"Because we used heavy artillery when we were fighting on the Western Front, the Japanese soldiers around the impact point were blown into a bloody mist. We couldn't even find a trace of them, let alone count them.
Also, after our tanks ran over them, the Japs became mixed with the mud on the ground, and we couldn't even tell their appearance apart, and it was impossible to count them.
So there are only so many left.”
The Chief of Staff explained somewhat helplessly.
The division commanders and brigade commanders laughed happily when they heard the chief of staff's explanation. They really didn't expect that there was such a reason.
"Heavy artillery, tanks."
The commander muttered to himself.
"It's all Yu Ye's fault. He has increased your workload a lot." The commander joked.
Everyone laughed again.
The division commander smiled and said, "If it weren't for Yu Ye, this battle would have been impossible to fight. It would have been impossible for us to fight the Japanese with our original weapons.
Not to mention, this time the 386th Brigade was able to crush the Japanese after running for such a long time, which was unimaginable in the past. "
"Yeah, how about we go check on that kid Yu Ye now?"
The commander suggested.
