By the time the battlefield finally subsided, the sun was already setting in the west. In this battle, all units of the Southern Military District of the Northeast Army were put into battle. Although Zhen Zhen has greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army after many calculations, when the battlefield is over, seeing the corpses of the Northeast Army on the battlefield, Zhen Zhen can't help but feel a little heartache.

"These people are all excellent men of the Northeast Army. Although many of them have been in the army for less than half a year, they have contributed their strength to the country and the nation. It is already necessary to find out their bodies and bring them back to Changchun. Sent to the martyrs' cemetery. Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll do it well." Qian Zhuangfei assured. He knew that after such a tragic battle, it was unrealistic to find the bones of all the soldiers, and under the sharp weapon of heavy artillery, as long as he was hit, it was possible to be blown to pieces. But Qian Zhuangfei still agreed. He will do everything to find the bones of the martyrs. Let them who sacrificed their lives for the country be able to rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

"Commander, you'd better go back! It's still unstable here! A staff officer said. The battle formation is over. But there are a lot of Japanese wounded soldiers on the battlefield or on the battlefield, although these people have gathered white underwear on the top of their heads, but no one can guarantee whether they are true avatars, if Zhen Zhen enters the battlefield at this time and is injured by Japanese soldiers, then their responsibility is greater.

Zhen Zhen nodded, without the slightest hint of recklessness. After all, the young marshal has not left the young marshal's mansion for more than a month for his own safety, and he can't risk his life at this time.

"Quickly clean up the battlefield, and then report the detailed results like the young marshal." Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice.

Half an hour later.

"Report to the commander, according to our careful search, we did not find the commander of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army, Shiba Goro and his headquarters."

"What? Wasn't the Japanese army completely annihilated? Are they still winged and flying? Zhen Zhen's face changed.

"Commander, according to the report of the battlefield, there are less than two thousand people who broke through in the entire battlefield, and the larger one of them broke through into the mountains and forests in the northeast, will Chai Goro be among them?" said the Chief of Staff of the South-Eastern Military District.

"Not necessarily, there are also Japanese troops breaking through to the south and other directions, maybe this is a suspicious plan of the Japanese army!" Qian Zhuangfei thought for a while and said.

"No matter what, the remnants of the army in the north cannot be left alone. Ordered the wolf's tooth special combat team to assemble and fight in the mountains and forests north. Zhen Zhen said in a deep voice. In his heart, he also vaguely felt that the command system of the first division of the Japanese army was in this force going north. Compared with the large army, the wolf's tooth special combat team has a smaller target in the mountains and forests, and its combat effectiveness is stronger.

"How's the battle damage count?" Zhen Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"Our army participated in the battle of 56,000 people, a total of 8,765 were killed, 562 were missing, 6,754 were seriously wounded, and more than 20,000 were lightly wounded. Among them, the officer instructors at the bottom suffered heavy losses. There is an urgent need for supplementation. The consumption of weapons and ammunition is equally serious, and if it is not replenished, I am afraid that it will affect the next battle. Qian Zhuangfei said in a deep voice.

"Properly dispose of the wounded, and do not hand over the seriously injured to the people to be sent to the rear for treatment, and it is extremely important to ensure the safety of the seriously injured. Minor wounded were treated with the army. Zhen Zhen commanded.

"The result?"

"Commander, according to our understanding, at the beginning of this war, the Japanese army had more than 26,000 people, and after the war, the Japanese army killed more than 18,000 people, more than 5,000 people, more than 5,000 heads, most of them were seriously wounded, and the rest were also wounded. Judging from this, the number of Japanese troops who broke through the encirclement did not exceed 3,000 at most. Almost all of the enemy's weapons were delivered, 24 of the enemy's 150-mm howitzers were completely captured, 3 of the 12 105-mm heavy guns were damaged, and the rest were successfully received. 105 mm heavy artillery shells can be used interchangeably with us, but we don't have 150 mm heavy artillery shells. As for the other weapons, many were captured, but the ammunition was extremely insufficient. The collapse of the Japanese army's authority in the later stages of the war was caused by their lack of weapons and ammunition. When Qian Zhuangfei said this, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Very good, report this telegram in its entirety to the theater headquarters and the young marshal's office. The army was ordered to sort out the corpses of the soldiers killed in battle, and then rest on the spot. Although we have won this war, our war is not over, and the Japanese war of aggression is still standing on our land. Zhen Zhen frowned, and there was a touch of firmness in his eyes.

Yingkou, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army.

After receiving a farewell message from the First Division, General Anton Sadami was stunned. As the representative of the Japanese army, the 1st Division was completely annihilated by the Chinese army, how could such an absurd thing make him believe.

The telegram from the Japanese military headquarters came no slower than that of the 1st Division. As the most prestigious division of the Japanese army, it naturally has channels and means to reach Tianting. At the moment of life and death, the 1st Division of the Japanese Army sent a farewell message to the headquarters of the First Army and the local military headquarters at the same time, and the entire military headquarters was already in a mess because of this farewell telegram. Marshal Yamaguchi Aritomo angrily vomited blood on the spot, and the emperor was furious and slapped the Minister of War in the face into a pig's head. This was followed by a telegram of rebuke from the top of the Japanese army that sent like a tidal wave to the headquarters of the First Army. Even if General Anton Sadami has deep qualifications, he still can't withstand this wave of domestic condemnation.

"Your Excellency, please take care of your health." Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Nitahara said as he looked at Admiral Sadami Anton, who was silent, wiping his saber. At the level of Admiral Anton Sadami, he will not use the knife easily. Not to mention such a stable wiping katana. Of course, Lieutenant General Indahara Shigeyuki knew what he was thinking, but it was precisely because he was clear that he couldn't make His Excellency the General think about it. After all, a general's seppuku is definitely a heavy blow to the empire.

"Rinda Hara-kun, do you say that the Shina Army is really so powerful? More than 40,000 people of our first division were completely annihilated in just three days, so how could the Imperial Japanese Army conquer China and dominate the world? Admiral Anton Sadami said with a puzzled face.

"Your Excellency General, this ......" Lieutenant General Nitahara Shigeyuki didn't know what to say. After all, the collapse of the 1st Division was completely unexpected by him.

"We're really old. This world is for young people! "Fighting against an excessively young force like the Northeast, it is good to say that once defeated, there will always be a sense of helplessness that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.

"Your Excellency, the Great Japanese Empire can't be so sluggish, although the fall of the First Division is surprising, but we can't stop there, the Empire is not only one First Division, with the Emperor's strength and war potential, how can China be the opponent of the Empire." Nitahara replied.

"Even so, does the Empire really have the courage to start a war again?" Admiral Sadami Anton, who has experienced Japan's reform to rise, does not want the empire to participate in this kind of gamble again, after all, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.

"This ......" Vice Admiral Shigeyuki Hitohara was dumbfounded, as a high-ranking military member of the empire, although he did not know the specific national strength of the empire, but from the perspective of the upgrading of army equipment, the empire's finances were not sufficient, even if it was not abundant, it still had to maintain a world-class navy. Now that the empire has everything, it is unknown whether there is still the spirit of the past, but everything. And judging by the actions of the current government, the empire is the most likely to adopt stable development. If this is the case, then I am afraid that the war with the Northeast will not be able to continue.

"The Fifth Division went to the Yalu River. Two divisions of the First Army have been completely annihilated, one has been severely damaged, and it is already a force that has gone to fight in the northeast. If the Empire wants the war to continue, it will definitely send troops to other places to supplement this battlefield. We only need to be patient in the present to be able to know the decisions of the empire. "After all, Admiral Sadami Anton is one of Japan's few generals, and he is clear about the power struggle within the Japanese Empire. Judging from the food points, the military's intentions are still resolute, but although His Majesty the Emperor's tone is still harsh, there is no sense of victory between the words. In this situation, the final decision of the empire depends on the high-level game of the empire.

"Nitianhara-kun, but no matter what the decision-making of the empire is, it is impossible for me to continue in this position. I will recommend to the higher echelons of the Empire that you pick up the commander of the First Army. If the Empire does go to war with the Chinese people, I hope you can take it step by step, even if the results are less, you must not be greedy for merit, our opponent is a cunning fellow like a fox. In this way, the opponent is the most correct only by relying on strong strength to fight step by step. Admiral Anton Sadami said.

"Hay, Your Excellency!" Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Nishitahara bowed his head and said. There was a look of sadness on his face, but the flash of joy in his eyes proved that he was in a mood that he definitely didn't want to show such an expression on his face.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, our radio has captured the signal of the 1st Division. The 1st Division has not yet been completely annihilated! A staff officer said with excitement on his face.

"What?" Senior General Sadami Anton and Lieutenant General Shigeyuki Nitahara had a look of great joy on their faces.

"How are they?"

"According to the telegram, they broke out of the encirclement of the Chinese army, but their strength was almost lost, and they now went north into the dense forests of the Changbai Mountains, the headquarters of the 1st Division was still there, and the staff officers did not suffer much loss, but the guard troops had less than a brigade. Therefore, they hope that His Excellency the General will be able to send troops to meet them. ”

"Great, there are no more troops to recruit, as long as the flag of the First Division is not destroyed, the empire will always have a day to rebuild the First Division." Shigeyuki Nitahara said in a low voice.

"Look at the map!" Admiral Anton Sadami said loudly. This lone army that broke through not only had to save, but did whatever it took to save it.
