The battle lasted until the evening, and the devils on the front line of Yan'an were almost completely annihilated, and only a small number of devils chose to surrender.

Despite the assistance of the 17th and 6th Garrisons, the Independence Army paid a considerable price to eliminate these stubborn devils. The heavy machine guns on the tank alone swept the barrels hot, and had to be cooled down by ice and snow from time to time to avoid exploding.

From the front line of the devils to the bombed-out bunkers, and finally to Yan'an City, there are corpses of devils everywhere.

These stubborn devils finally pledged their allegiance to their emperor with their blood and lives, but now their dignity is being trampled under the feet of the soldiers of the Independence Army, and their tattered corpses are also thrown into the trenches dug by the devils themselves by the people who poured out of Yan'an City.

After a few years, they will be completely transformed into fertilizers that nourish the land. No one will remember that there are still a large number of corpses of devils on the ground under their feet, and all their so-called loyal subjects and honors will be trampled under the feet of the Chinese forever, and they will not be able to turn over for the rest of their lives.

The headquarters of the independent army has all entered the city of Yan'an, and after the baptism of the war, this already dilapidated city is now in ruins, and it is almost difficult to find a complete house. Gao Dong had to set up a makeshift military tent in the middle of the city to serve as his headquarters.

The battle was almost exhausting for Gao Dong, although he did not go to the front line to fight alongside his teammates. But in the rear, grasping the battle situation in real time and commanding tens of thousands of troops to attack an enemy several times his size, the feeling of emaciation can only be experienced by Gao Dong.

At this moment, Gao Dong was sitting in his headquarters, and Lin Yue poured a cup of hot water from nowhere and handed it to him gently.

"I'm really bothering you!" Gao Dong took the water cup and said with a smile.

"What are you polite to me, we have long been our own people!" Lin Yue said with a red face.

Hu Xinghan, who was sitting on the side, squirted out a mouthful of water, looked at the two of them dumbfounded, and Lin Yue's face turned even redder.

"You, you, you? When was that already that? It took Hu Xinghan a long time to react.

"What's this, that!" Gao Dong coughed, the feeling of tiredness suddenly disappeared, and his face was slightly red: "What are you doing sitting here?" If you don't count the casualties and seizures, what's the fun here? ”

Hu Xinghan smiled evilly, stood up and walked out, and said loudly when he was about to go out: "Captain, take it easy, you're so tired, don't flash your waist at night!" ”

"I'll beat you to death!" Gao Dong stood up and was about to chase after him, but Hu Xinghan was so frightened that he rushed out.

Bang! Hu Xinghan, who had just rushed out of the tent, immediately collided with a person, and his body was directly rebounded back.

Gao Dong hugged him from behind and looked out of the tent in surprise. A group of people in earthy blue military uniforms stopped outside the door, and the first three of them fell to the ground together, obviously hit by Hu Xinghan's sturdy blow just now.

"Who, who, walk so recklessly! What is this place? The command is also so reckless? Hu Xinghan's head was dizzy when he was hit, and he immediately yelled when he stood up.

Gao Dong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "The wicked have their own wicked grinding, so you can talk a lot!" ”

"Who is the wicked one?" A majestic laugh rang out from outside the door, and the curtain was pulled open, and a stout but not very tall man entered. He has dark skin, a Chinese face, and a smile on his face that makes him look as kind as the uncle next door.

Gao Dong's eyes flashed with surprise, and he blurted out: "Commander-in-Chief Zhu? ”

"Huh?" The visitor looked at Gao Dong suspiciously: "Do you know me?" ”

Gao Dong was stunned, he had seen the portrait of the person who came, but it was the first time he had seen the real person, and he couldn't say that I had seen your portrait and saluted normally. It's no wonder that this is not a full bag on the spot!

Gao Dong's mind turned, and he laughed: "Commander-in-Chief Zhu's appearance has long been known to the whole country, I have caught the spy of the devil, and I have also got a photo of Commander-in-Chief Zhu from them." So, recognize you at a glance! ”

The person who came was Zhu De, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and he laughed when he heard the words at this moment: "Such a smart person must be Gao Dong, the deputy commander of the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region who is famous at home and abroad, and the founder of the Independent Army and the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, right?" I've been friends with you for a long time, but I didn't expect to see you here! ”

Gao Dong laughed, Gao Dong was very calm about Zhu De's praise: "Commander-in-Chief Zhu has an overreputation, galloping on the battlefield is the duty of our generation of soldiers, and the rest are just some insignificant false names!" ”

"Good, good!" Zhu De looked at Gao Dong appreciatively, and nodded excitedly: "Sure enough, he has the style of a general, he is not arrogant or impatient, he is on the cusp and does not change color, no wonder the Japanese army that can be fought is so miserable!" ”

Gao Dong laughed and invited Zhu De and others to come to the headquarters, while Lin Yue was busy pouring water for everyone. The three people who had just been knocked down by Hu Xinghan also followed, and one of them said to Hu Xinghan with a smile: "I have always heard that Hu Xinghan, the commander of the Independent Army, is a general who can not only go to the battlefield but also command thousands of troops. ”

Hu Xinghan smiled awkwardly: "I'm really embarrassed, I was in a hurry to go out, and I didn't pay attention to seeing someone outside!" Didn't it hurt, did it? I have a lot of strength! ”

The man laughed: "Forget it, it is difficult for many people to be bumped by Commander Hu, and I am lucky today!" Commander Hu, I am the commander of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army****, I am fortunate to meet you! ”

shook hands with Hu Xinghan warmly, but Gao Dong on the side was foaming at the mouth. There are two famous generals in the history of our new China standing in front of him, and if he goes back to the original era and tells anyone about it, he will think he is crazy.

"Report!" Just then, an Independence Army officer ran in from outside. didn't even look at Zhu De and the others, and saluted Gao Dongli: "Deputy commander, the battlefield has been counted!" ”

Gao Dong nodded: "Report it!" ”

"Yes!" The officer immediately opened the notebook between his arms and read slowly: "There are a total of 91,200 38 big covers, 3,700 crooked machine guns, and 2,500 heavy machine guns. 1,623 mortars, 672 guns of different calibers! ”

"A large number of light and heavy machine guns were destroyed, and quite a few artillery pieces were blown up in the course of our attacks, and the number was also considerable. As for the rest of the military trucks, the Japanese army's materials, equipment and ammunition are too many to be counted for the time being! The officer said in a deep voice.

Gao Dong nodded, completely ignoring the stunned appearance of the officers of the Eighth Route Army on the side. Except for Zhu De and **** and several other important generals who remained calm, the rest of the people showed ecstasy and envy in their eyes.

They had never heard that the Chinese army could capture so many Japanese weapons, equipment and military supplies, in the past, they were all petty fights, and the biggest battle with the devils would not exceed two regiments. The captured weapons of the Japanese army are very limited, and it is a very real thing to be able to capture some weapons from the hands of the puppet army.

But the Independence Army actually captured so many weapons at once, which was simply an astronomical amount for the Eighth Route Army, and no one could resist the temptation of that number.

"How many casualties do we have!" Gao Dong didn't care about the captured Japanese weapons at all, for him, all the devil's weapons were just items to be remelted in the future, what was the use of remembering so clearly, he only needed to know an approximate number.

"Five thousand one hundred and sixty-seven death fighters, and almost five thousand casualties!" There was a palpable pain in the officer's tone as he spoke.

Gao Dong's fists were clenched tightly, and although he had carefully arranged the battle, he still suffered heavy casualties in the end.

It is undeniable that if the devils are desperate, even if the independent army has the advantage in weapons and manpower, it will still pay a very heavy price.

This is the battle of the trapped beasts, and it is also the price that the Independence Army must pay.

But this casualty figure of the Independent Army is simply a miracle in the eyes of the generals of the Eighth Route Army.

The Independence Army eliminated the devil with a casualty probability of 10 to 1, which has never appeared in the history of China's War of Resistance.

Throughout the wars between China and the great powers in modern times, it has never been a thing before. The officers of the Eighth Route Army were thinking that Gao Dong could already proudly stand at the pinnacle of famous generals in China.

"Senior Deputy Commander!" Just when Gao Dong was silent, he didn't speak, and the ****, who was very calm, finally spoke.

"Oh? Can I help you? Gao Dong recovered from his contemplation and quietly looked at the general who would become the marshal of New China in the future.

A little embarrassed smiled: "There is a reluctant request, our Eighth Route Army is very difficult, and it has been suppressed by the devil's heavy soldiers this year." The reduction of troops is very serious, and there are now less than 30,000 troops left in the original 100,000-strong troops. There are also a large number of militias that have been scattered in the sweep of the devils, and it is difficult for us to gather them for a while. The weapons are even more seriously lost, and the ammunition can barely allow each soldier to guarantee ten rounds, so. ”

"Do you want a weapon?" Gao Dong smiled: "Take all the weapons seized this time!" ”

"What?" Not only was **** moved, but even Zhu De, who had been sitting firmly on Mount Tai, stood up and looked at Gao Dong in shock.

This is a Japanese weapon that can be equipped with 100,000 troops, and for the Chinese army, the weapons of the Japanese army are many times more advanced than those old things in their hands. Gao Dong said that he would send it away, this is not a joke.

"Brother Gao, you have to think clearly, this is a weapon that can equip 100,000 troops. Although our troops pay attention to the spoils of war to be credited, unified distribution. But the nature of your forces is different, and the Chairman himself has said that your Independence Army has the right to override all its forces and is free from any control. So, these trophies belong to your independent army, you ......" Zhu De has unconsciously begun to call Gao Dong brothers, and even he himself is not aware of this.

Gao Dong laughed, stood up, and said to Zhu De confidently: "What I Gao Dong said, I will never take it back." Say it to you, and I'll give it all to you! Our Independence Army is an army led by the Communist Party, the Communist Party, and all the seizures should be attributed in the first place, and there is no such thing as privilege. ”

A cold glint suddenly flashed in Gao Dong's eyes: "Besides, with these weapons, you can have a better armed force!" The days of the devil's arrogance in China will not be too long! ”
