A few people were talking, when a soldier hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Report to the captain, the first squadron reports that the little devils in the west have escaped from our base area, Captain Zhao Lei asks for instructions on whether to continue the pursuit." In addition, according to the scouts, some of the little devils in the south also fled from the southwest to our base area. ”

"Got it!" Liu Hong nodded and said, "Inform Zhao Lei, let them stop the pursuit and clean up the battlefield as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" The soldier hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to deliver the order.

Zhang Zhicheng said with emotion: "I didn't expect more than 7,000 little devils to be defeated by us so easily." ”

Liu Hong said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, originally I thought that I would take advantage of tonight to blow up the devil's gas bomb and take advantage of the chaos to hit the little devil, but I didn't expect the little devil to be so unbeaten." ”

Zhang Zhicheng gave Liu Hong a thumbs up and said with admiration: "Captain Liu is really amazing, I am completely convinced this time." ”

"Haha~!" Liu Hong said with a smile: "Captain Zhang, don't lift me up." I am a man who does not boast, and it is easy to get into trouble if I boast. ”

In this battle, the Eighth Route Army can be said to have won a complete victory, and has basically smashed the enemy's sweep of the base area, and after the victory, the soldiers are naturally excited.

At this time, Wu Feng said with a smile: "According to preliminary statistics, just tonight, we have annihilated at least more than 3,000 little devils, plus the 1,000 people who were annihilated in Xiaowangzhuang before, and the little devils who were annihilated in the blocking battles in various places yesterday, it is estimated that the total number of Japanese troops annihilated should exceed 5,000 people." ”

Wu Feng paused, and then continued: "This is just a conservative estimate, maybe there will be more." The little devil can be said to have lost everything, the second wing was completely annihilated by us, and the combat unit of the independent 7th mixed brigade also lost more than half, so even if that Endo Kanan had the idea of attacking our base area again, he was also powerless. ”

At this time, Liu Hong didn't know that the old devil of Endo Kanan had been killed in the chaotic battle, because it was dark at the time, the situation was relatively chaotic, and the little devil took away Endo Kanan's body later, so it was naturally impossible for the Eighth Route Army to know the news, and now this old devil can't even have such an idea.

Liu Hong smiled and nodded and said: "In this way, the little devil's sweep of our base is completely over, and it is estimated that the little devil does not have much strength left, if the old devil Kanan Endo dares to come back, we will just destroy him together." ”

Liu Hong said and pointed to the corpse of Nishijima Dazuo on the ground, and said with a smile: "I promise that the old devil will die worse than this guy when the time comes." However, now that the battle is over, the troops have seized the time to clean up the battlefield and collect the loot, and I estimate that this time the harvest is not small. ”

Zhang Zhicheng said with a smile: "Although we failed to annihilate all the little devils this time, the group of little devils who escaped also fled in a hurry, and they didn't have time to carry many supplies. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Hong nodded and said: "After the poison gas bomb was detonated, the little devils scrambled to escape from the camp and left all their weapons, equipment and supplies. I just looked at it from a distance, and I saw that most of the supplies were still piled up in the camp, except for some of them that were burned in the battle. ”

Liu Hong paused here when he said this, and then continued: "However, so many poison gas bombs exploded, that camp is the thickest place for poison gas, although there is wind, but for the sake of insurance, my opinion is that it is better not to enter for the time being, and after dawn, let's send some people to clean up those gas bombs, especially those poison gases that have not leaked, must be properly disposed of, and no one is allowed to approach that camp for half a step before that." ”

"Yes!" Everyone hurriedly answered.

Due to the relatively large scope of the battlefield of this battle, it is relatively scattered. In addition, the camp of the baggage soldiers before the devil detonated so many poison gas bombs, although most of the poison gas has leaked out and been blown away by the wind, but there is still some poison gas left, so it is more troublesome to deal with.

Therefore, the soldiers were busy from three or four o'clock in the morning until the evening, and all the battlefields were cleaned.

At about eight o'clock that night, Liu Hong dragged his tired body back to the headquarters, sat on the bench, and sighed and said, "His grandmother drops!" I'm tired of Lao Tzu, I really want to sleep with him now, even if the sky falls, I don't think about it. ”

At this time, Wu Feng said with a smile: "I guess after you read this, you won't feel tired." Wu Feng said and handed a few statistical lists to Liu Hong.

"What is this?" Liu Hong asked casually.

"The statistics of the results of this battle." Wu Feng replied.

Liu Hong took it and took a closer look, and said excitedly: "Annihilated more than 5,000 little devils? ”

Wu Feng smiled and nodded, and said, "This is based on the results of the corpses left on the battlefield, and it is absolutely reliable." According to the practice of the little devils, they will take a batch of corpses, but in the case last night, even if the little devils took away some of the corpses, it would definitely not be too many. Therefore, our statistics should not be much different from the real data. ”

"Good!" Liu Hong nodded and said: "It's really good, but so many corpses must be disposed of as soon as possible, especially those little devils who were poisoned by poison gas, and they must be handled with more care." ”

"Hmm!" Wu Feng nodded and said: "I have already notified the troops, let the troops dispose of these corpses as soon as possible, and the remains of the sacrificed soldiers should also be buried as soon as possible." Secretary Lin and the others have already begun to organize the villagers to return to their hometowns, and then they will recruit the militia and the people to help us deal with these corpses. ”

Liu Hong nodded and said: "When you talk about fellow villagers, I think of one thing, in this battle, many crops were destroyed in the war, you ask Secretary Lin and them to send someone to count the losses, our troops will pay for the loss of the villagers, try to compensate for the losses of the villagers, and definitely not let the people go hungry." Speaking of which, these crops are still more than a month away from ripening, and this year's year is not bad, so it is a pity to ruin it like this. ”

"Good! I will discuss this matter with Secretary Lin and them. Wu Feng nodded and said.

Liu Hong nodded, picked up the statistical results, and continued to look at them.
