The Separate Regiment suffered 78 casualties and 106 serious wounded, while the 288th and 289th regiments together suffered 114 killed and 232 seriously wounded, and the total loss of 530 personnel was not unacceptable.

Compared with the heavy losses of at least 800 Japanese soldiers who were seriously wounded during the day, and the number of serious casualties was definitely more than 1,000, today's one-day battle could even be called a big victory for Luo Wenyu's defenders.

For example, the third war diary written by Liu Xueyuan this evening was written with the mentality of reporting victory.

Today is the second day of the Battle of Luo Wenyu, and as soon as the light of the rising sun sprinkled on everyone's body, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Luo Wenyu Pass. THE RUMBLING SOUND OF ARTILLERY RANG OUT FROM 9 A.M. TO 10 A.M., AND THE EXPLOSION OF THE 240MM CALIBER HOWITZER MADE ME FEEL THE GROUND SHAKE WHILE SITTING IN THE UNDERGROUND TUNNEL, AND EVEN, THE JAPANESE INVADERS ALSO DISPATCHED BOMBERS, AND BOMBS WEIGHING UP TO 500 POUNDS EXPLODED ONE AFTER ANOTHER IN THE VICINITY.

I was even ready to throw myself into the arms of death, and although I had imagined countless times that I would give my life for my country, I was still terrified at that moment, and I could not keep the smile that I imagined should be met with death.

I even looked at the expressions of the warriors around me with some indescribable feeling, and perhaps a hint of fear on their faces would have reduced my shame.

However, what I saw was that Deputy Regiment Commander Chi rushed out of the tunnel with a team of soldiers, and I could only see their backs, not their faces. However, their solid pace and strong backs gave me the answer.

I don't know why they rushed out of the pit that provided protection when it was so dangerous, but I did know that they were going to fight death, and they weren't afraid of death? No, they choose to face death precisely because they are afraid of death, because behind them are 40,000 people and their parents, wives and children, and they just don't want the people behind them to face death all the time like them.

It wasn't until twenty minutes later that I saw Regiment Leader Liu happily shaking the hand of Deputy Chi Tuan, who was rushing in from outside with a face full of fireworks, and even gave him a big hug. Seriously, it was the first time I saw two men hugging, and I could deeply feel the life-and-death relationship between comrades-in-arms.

Then, Regiment Commander Liu brought me great news, just now, the Independent Regiment took out the Japanese bomber formation, six bombers and four fighters.

Oh my God, this sudden news made me a little dizzy with happiness, it was a miracle that ten enemy planes were annihilated by the independent regiment on the ground in one fell swoop.

Once, they annihilated the 4th Brigade and created a great miracle, yesterday, the Dare to Die continued the miracle with the spirit of daring, and today, they are once again performing a myth. Seriously, after the excitement, I was a little numb to the excitement of the Chinese army that I was in.

The only thing I can be sure of now is that Commander Liu and the three commanders of Qi and Dong will continue to create miracles in the next battle.

Sure enough, in the whole day of fighting, the devils were defeated, and in the entire battlefield, they left nearly a thousand corpses, and countless minor and serious injuries. However, the Chinese defenders of Luo Wen Yufang suffered very little losses.

When I wrote this text, my whole body was even trembling with excitement, and I couldn't even hold the pen steadily. I'm afraid there is only one sentence that can express my feelings at the moment: Long live the Republic of China! Long live the 29th Army! Long live the independent regiment! ”

I hope that in tomorrow's battle, our Chinese soldiers will create more glories.

Liu Xueyuan was very excited, but Liu Lang fell into distressed thinking, the inferior Daqianmen cigarettes were already considered good cigarettes in this era, and the headquarters was full of cigarette butts without filters.

It can be seen from the battle damage report that the loss of personnel is not large, the biggest loss is the fortifications, the three positions defended by the independent regiment, the bunker has been destroyed by heavy howitzers, only half is left, this is secondary, taking advantage of the gap between not fighting at night, the engineer platoon directly under the regiment can build up four more overnight, as long as the loss of personnel and equipment is not large, it is acceptable.

However, the Japanese infantry guns, which were becoming more and more accurate in low-range shooting, destroyed three bunkers in one day's battle, and together with the shooters and machine guns inside, they all became the ghosts of the Japanese infantry guns.

What's more, the heavy firepower fortifications of the main position of Qi Guangyuan and Dong Shengtang's troops on the top of the black pot actually lost as much as seventy percent in this day's battle, which somewhat made Liu Lang smell a hint of conspiracy.

At the same time, ten miles away in the headquarters of the Eighth Division.

"Tomorrow, the focus of the attack will be here, Watanabe-kun, tomorrow will be the time for you to show your skills, I hope you don't let me down." Xiyi pointed a finger at a certain area on Luo Wenyu's entire defense map, and looked back at a Zhongzuo standing behind him and said.

"Haiyi, the honor of the Watanabe family will definitely last for a long time, and Watanabe Katsuji will not disappoint His Excellency the division commander." With a bit of pride on his face, Nakasabi bowed slightly respectfully and replied with a sharp bow.

"Haha, Watanabe-kun doesn't have to be so nervous, I believe that with your chariot unit joining, it will definitely let the people who are now proudly supporting that the combat effectiveness of our Imperial Japanese Army is not something they can resist with a few small machine guns sent by the group of golden retriever monkeys in the west." Seeing that Watanabe Nakasa, the captain of the 1st Tank Brigade under the direct jurisdiction of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, said this, the expression on Nishiyoshi's face softened, and he smiled and patted Nakasa's shoulder to show his closeness.

Although the chariot brigade is now under his jurisdiction, Nakasa, which belongs to the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters, is not a small fish and shrimp, and even to some extent, Watanabe Katsuji, who has aristocratic blood, is more important in the minds of Nishi Yoshiichi than Major General Nagagawahara Kan, who is a civilian-born brigade commander.

To put it bluntly, before World War II, the emperor ruled Japan did not completely enter capitalism, it was still a semi-feudal militarist country, and the emperor firmly took the power into his arms, and it was not until after World War II that he returned to the prime minister, and the emperor became more of a symbol of the country, or the existence of a mascot.

Starting from the Meiji Emperor, after the emperor monopolized the power, in order to consolidate his dominance and greatly improve the social status of the aristocracy, this is like a big brother who wants to bring his own group of good buddies to heaven after conquering the world. And the nobles who have always wanted to maintain their high social status as nobles will naturally spare no effort to help the emperor maintain his rule, which means that where the eldest brother's hand is pointed, the younger brother's gun will be pointed.

This kind of high social status above the ordinary people is naturally reflected in the army, don't look at your high military rank, but my brother is a nobleman, and I am afraid that giving my brother a good face is the performance of most nobles in the army. Of course, most of the generals from civilian backgrounds are also very face-saving to the nobility, and they are generally not too domineering. Who let the aristocratic minions stand behind the aristocratic bigwigs?

If he was replaced by a civilian-born Nakasa, how could the lieutenant general be so pleasant? Especially after another day of fighting, looking at the huge casualty reports.

After talking to Watanabe Katsuji, Nishiichi set his eyes on a Chinese standing there, Li Shoushan, commander of the Mukden Province Independent Brigade.

Seeing Xiyi's gaze sweeping, Li Shoushan was excited, and hurriedly stood up straight, and at the same time lowered his head slightly, and squeezed out a smile on his face, looking flattering.

"Li Jun, the attack on this position tomorrow morning will be completed by your department, is there a problem?" Xiyi asked with a kind face.

Li Shoushan felt slightly bitter in his heart, but he still nodded hurriedly: "I will definitely live up to the trust of His Excellency the division commander and do my best." ”

"No, no, not with all my might." Xiyi shook his head, and his face suddenly turned cold: "You only need to do it, if you don't get the retreat order from the division headquarters, the retreater will die." The division will send out the Overseer team tomorrow. ”

"Yes." Li Shoushan is not slightly bitter at this time, but bitter and unbearable.

When Xi Yiyi said this, it was clear that he was going to pull his independent brigade up as cannon fodder. The four positions at Luo Wenyu Pass, which one is a good match? Even the fierce Japanese attacked six times and retreated six times, and when it was his turn, he had to fight to the death.

Li Shoushan didn't feel like he had eaten Coptis chinensis at this time.
