188 Imperial warriors were killed, 13 missing, and 18 wounded, 6 of whom had been declared dead and ready to meet Amaterasu at any time to serve His Majesty the Emperor.

Nagumo Zaoji looked at the battle damage report handed over by Yanagihara Nakasa, the captain of the 9th Infantry Brigade under his command who had retreated from the first battle defeat, with a pale face and a bowed head, and couldn't believe his eyes.

Although he was mentally prepared for the defeat of the attack due to a huge explosion from the front line, such a large battle damage was still unacceptable to him.

It's no wonder that Nanyun Zao's eyes almost burst.

In this battle, the 9th Infantry Brigade invested a total of three infantry squadrons to attack two Chinese positions, plus the 180 artillery squadrons directly assigned to him by the wing, and the machine gun squadron of the 9th Infantry Brigade, the total strength invested in five squadrons was almost 1,000 people. Judging by the approximate proportions of the war between the Imperial Army and the Chinese army, it was not a big problem to deal with 3,000 men per regiment of their regular army. But in the end, 188 people were killed and 13 were missing. To be missing on the battlefield means to die, or to be the kind with no bones left. In just one battle with the weak Chinese for less than an hour, the battle damage was as high as 20 percent. This was the highest casualty rate ever before since the establishment of the 4th Division, including the 8th Wing, which had been repeatedly defeated by the Russians in the Russo-Japanese War.

What's more, who is the most elite standing division of the Great Japanese Empire facing? Not a regular Chinese army, but a bunch of Chinese peasants. Even if Nagumo lost more than 90 of his most elite scouts before the war, it did not change his definition of his opponent as a group of Chinese peasants.

Yes, the volunteers frightened the menacing Japanese infantry brigade with explosives packs, and took the initiative to retreat 1,500 meters. Then a small team of Japanese soldiers with a small Red Cross flag and no weapons were sent to collect the corpses. Originally, according to the idea of the volunteers, they did not plan to let this Japanese army team go back.

Liu Lang thought about it and didn't let them do it. One is that the military discipline of the Fourth Division in the past time and space was acceptable, and it did not commit heinous crimes on the land of China; The second is that these corpses are bloody, and the psychological impact on the volunteers is really too great before they are located in the position, and it is still troublesome to deal with them if they want to, so it is better to let them deal with it. The third is the most important thing, these mutilated corpses are pulled back, which is just a blow to the morale of these hawkers.

After all, a pork seller would never want to be a pork and put it in front of others piece by piece, right?

The Japanese corpse collection team recovered all the stumps and remnants that could be picked up, but there was no way to leave the bones of those who were in the center of the explosion, so they could only report them as missing, and the number of them was as high as 13.

In fact, whether it was the infantry squadron responsible for containing the No. 2 position, or the two attacking squadrons on the flank, the casualties were not large, and the total number of casualties in the three battlefields was only 10 killed and 7 wounded, plus the seven people killed by the Chinese "black gunners" in the artillery squadron directly under the artillery were only 17 killed, which was still within an acceptable range.

However, now a total of 201 people were killed in the battle with the thirteen people who could not even pick up a finger, in other words, 184 people were killed in the battle of 216 people in the four squads that were engaged in the frontal attack. That's it, the survivors of these four squads are basically grenadiers located more than 400 meters behind the position. Of the dozen or so infantrymen who had managed to escape from the explosion of the explosive pack, six of them vomited blood not long after they came back because of severe injuries to their internal organs, and they wished that they had even vomited out the lobes of their lungs.

Four infantry squads, only 26 remaining. In other words, four infantry squads, almost completely wiped out. The military cao is gone, the infantry is gone, the machine gunners are gone, and there are only a few guys who crouch in the distance to shoot small artillery.

Coupled with the more than 90 people who died in the previous battle, the 20th Infantry Wing killed nearly 300 people just after arriving in the Huanghuachuan Mountains, this Baga is almost a semi-infantry squadron, and the 20th Infantry Wing under his Nanyun Zao Erdazuo is only more than 3,700 people.

Nanyun Zaoji saw a burst of Venus in front of him, if it weren't for the other two infantry captains who were quick to help him, it would be impossible for a certain Dazuo to hit the ground like this, judging from his weight, it is estimated that he is very likely to become a "unicorn".

"Yaga, Yanagihara Nakasa, you should immediately be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor like those imperial warriors who died in battle, instead of standing here and letting all the officers and soldiers of our Fourth Division accompany you to shame." Nagumo Zaoji angrily looked at his subordinates who lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

Fang Cai didn't reach out to help him with this thing, I'm afraid he wanted to wait for himself to fall into the ground and die, and then it was his own co-captain who took the blame for him! Nanyun Zao's second great sake, another kind of resentment also grew silently in his heart.

"Hey!" The Japanese soldier Zhong Zuo put his hands close to the seam of his trousers, and bowed his head respectfully.

That is, the legs do not move. Obviously, this means that Your Excellency Osa is right, I have disgraced the big guys, but we are not willing to take the initiative to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, what can you do?

Nanyun Zao's second great saku was so angry that his face turned purple, and he touched the saber on his waist but was quite helpless. Although the upper and lower ranks in the Japanese army are strict, and the rank and file can crush people to death, it does not mean that the superiors can dispose of the lives of their subordinates at will. In particular, if he is at the level of adjutant, even if he wants to be dealt with by military law, he has to speak at the division or even a higher level. Not to mention the adjutant, even if he, the captain of the Great Zuo Wing, has the power to execute the lieutenant in wartime, he will have to report to the division and explain in the end.

What's more, now sitting in a position of real power as an adjutant, especially the captain of an infantry brigade, there is no one or two thighs behind him? Unless he became a deserter or suffered a fiasco, he, the captain of the Dazuo Wing, really couldn't do anything to this captain of the Zhongzuo Infantry Brigade who was determined not to commit suicide by disembowelment.

The two infantry captains next to him took a look, this His Excellency Dazuo was still in the air and couldn't get up and down, come on, hurry up and hand over the ladder to His Excellency Dazuo to come down! Besides, this is not just to let His Excellency Dazuo get off the donkey on the slope, but also to show his attitude by the way, we are here to make a fortune in China, not to play with the Chinese.

As for what medals? How much money can the medal sell for after the war? It wasn't made of real gold, and the most awesome thing was just a gold-plated one.

"Your Excellency, although Yanagihara-kun lost the first battle, this is not a crime of war, but the cunning and great of the people of Zhina, who actually took advantage of the imperial warriors' charge to sneak attack with new weapons. If you really want to talk about the responsibility for the defeat, I think it is none other than the idiots of the 1st Mixed Brigade. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't inform our army that the Chinese peasant army had a large number of grenades and explosives packages, what would have happened to our army? A Japanese officer who also wore a collar badge stood up and said.

"Yes, that's right, all this is caused by the idiots of the 1st Mixed Brigade, and I suggest that Your Excellency Dazuo should report it to the brigade division, and it is because of their negligence that it has caused heavy losses to our 20th Infantry Wing. In other words, Your Excellency Dazuo, why would they be negligent in such an important military situation? Will..... Another infantry captain added even more heartfelt on the side.

These two very lightly brushed off all the responsibility for the defeat of their infantry wing, and shamelessly put all the responsibility on the Rehe garrison, which did not send a single soldier to come.

Nagumo Zaoji's already small eyes narrowed.

It's not just that the two subordinates just shirked their responsibilities in a good way, but this is caused by the idiots of the 1st Mixed Brigade who did not accurately inform the military intelligence. Moreover, the words reminded by his subordinates woke him up a little.

Is this 。。。。。 Did the idiots of the 1st Mixed Brigade do it on purpose? Because they were unable to purge a group of Chinese peasants for two years, they were reprimanded by the headquarters many times.

This time, the Fourth Division was brought in as the main force to exterminate the rebels, but if the Chinese peasant army was destroyed in a battle, did it show that they were too incompetent? And then they played such a small trick, using the lives of the Imperial warriors to prove that they were not so incompetent in the eyes of the command?

The more I thought about it, the more Nagumo felt that it was like that.

This is human nature, dark psychology, always feel that other people are as dark as they imagined.

But don't say it, the people of the Fourth Division really didn't wronged their colleagues. The 1st Mixed Brigade was indeed very "careless" to ignore some inconspicuous information about the Chinese peasant resistance in Rehe.

For example, the peasant rebels had a lot of explosives and even ambushed them by planting them on the side of the road. For example, the Chinese peasant army can make its own grenades.

"Baga, how can you be defeated yourself and put the blame on your allies, don't say this kind of thing in the future. All of you stand down, and I will personally report to His Excellency the Brigade Commander on the situation of the battle. With a gloomy face, Nagumo drove away several adjutants, including the unlucky guy who had suffered a big defeat.

The commander of the 4th Division, the lieutenant general of the 4th Division, who had received the report of Nagumo Zo's World War II and was having fun in Xinjing, Manchukuo, went directly to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army and almost sent a telegram to the commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade who was still stationed in Rehe in front of Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji.

The Fourth Division is very united at all times, even if their current division commander is a royal prince who has little to do with hawkers.
