War cannot be taken at all. Strategies can change the outcome of the war, but the gap in strength cannot be easily narrowed!

There is a gap between the Chinese and Japanese cavalry, which is not only personal, but mainly reflected at the national level.

A strong country means a strong people, and a weak country means a weak people. There has never been a reversal between the two.

"A ball of Zhang, what are the statistics on casualties?" Gong Changhai's scarlet eyes were hoarse, his voice was hoarse, and his head was slightly lowered, as if he was a wild wolf lying in the jungle and was injured!

"Teacher Commander, we..." The commander of the regiment Meng Tiezhu had red eyes and was sobbing that he couldn't speak.

"How many? Tell me quickly, I'm so silly, like a woman!"

"One thousand five hundred and ninety-three casualties, three hundred and fourteen seriously injured, two hundred and twenty-six slightly injured, and one thousand fifty-three killed in battle..."

"What?" Gong Changhai shivered all over. He had been in the army for many years and had already died and indifferent. However, he had not yet fought once, and most of them were killed in battle!

"Damn the Japanese, I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations..."

"Chief of Staff, are you injured?" Seeing Gao Wenbin hanging around his neck with a bandage wrapped around his left arm, Gong Changhai got up from the ground and went up to meet him!

"It's okay, let a stray bullet drill!" Gao Wenbin tried hard to squeeze out a smile on his white face.

"How are the casualties?"

"Tiezhu, report the casualties to the Chief of Staff?" Gong Changhai glared at the first regiment commander Meng Tiezhu.

"Chief of Staff, we have all..." Meng Tiezhu stammered and repeated the casualties with red eyes.

Even though Gao Wenbin was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the huge number of casualties and almost turned his head back. Fortunately, Lao Jia was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he didn't fall to the ground.

"The Japanese are really extraordinary!" Gao Wenbin said gritting his teeth.

"Yes, our soldiers are good, but we are in many ways different from the Japanese!"

"Although we won the Japanese in this battle, it was considered a victory, but such a victory is no different from failure for us!" Gao Wenbin said.

"Yes, this is a terrible victory!"

"Order. Take all the bodies of all the sacrificed soldiers and let's go into the city!" Gao Wenbin gave the order.

"Aren't the Japanese army besieging Kailu City?"

"The Japanese army has retreated, and their casualties are quite large. Judging from the bodies they left behind, they are roughly equivalent to ours!" Gao Wenbin said gritting his teeth.

"This battle is probably getting harder and harder to fight. Once we enter the city, we will become a turtle in the jar!" said Gong Changkai.

"What should we do? Now there are so many wounded people who need treatment. In the wild, we don't have so many tents and quilts..."

"Oh. This is really a human calculation that is worse than a heavenly calculation!" Gong Changhai sighed.

"Teacher Gong, this may not be a bad thing. As long as the Japanese army does not capture Kailu, they will definitely not go south easily. We can also hold back some of the Japanese troops here, which can also be regarded as reducing the pressure on Chifeng!" Gao Wenbin said!

"Yes, what the Chief of Staff said makes sense!" Gong Changhai nodded!

Under the hazy night, a long team drove into Kailu, and one-third of the war horses were actually carrying corpses!

Commander Liu Xuwu was leading people to strengthen the city. After receiving the news of reinforcements entering the city, he hurried over to greet him!

"This, this is..." The five-foot-high man saw a war horse carrying corpses coming in from the city gate, Liu Xuwu's lips couldn't help but tremble!

"Old Liu!"

"Chief of Staff, you are here, what's going on?" Liu Xuwu was so excited that he almost cried when he saw Gao Wenbin!

"I fought a battle with the Japanese, these are all sacrificed brothers!" Gao Wenbin said.

"This, why did this sacrifice so much?"

"The Japanese knew that we were back and set up an ambush on the way. Although we discovered it in advance, this battle was a tough battle, and the blood was killed. We suffered heavy casualties, and the Japanese were not much better!" Gao Wenbin said.

"I said, why did the Japanese suddenly retreat? So that's how it is!" Liu Xuwu noticed that Gao Wenbin's left arm was also injured, and said in surprise, "Chief of Staff, are you injured too?"

"It's okay, the Japanese bullet drilled into a hole!"

"Old Liu, how is your situation here?"

"The Japanese attacked fiercely for a day. If the Japanese were to say that the quality of this Japanese was really nothing. If the Iron Commander had not left us a small team, maybe the Japanese would have captured Kailu City!" Liu Xuwu said ashamed!

"I think the city is not very damaged. The Japanese did not carry heavy weapons?" Gao Wenbin nodded.

"Well, thanks to them not carrying heavy weapons, otherwise even if the team is there, we will not be able to defend Kailu!" Liu Xuwu said.

"The Japanese are cavalrymen, and at most they only carry a few infantry cannons. They are raiding, so they must not be able to carry heavy weapons!" Gao Wenbin's eyes lit up!

"Their heavy weapons must be still on the way!" Gao Wenbin and Gong Changhai said in unison.

"Chief of Staff, be cautious. We can fight less than half of the time now. Even if we add Commander Liu's men, there are only two thousand people, and it seems that they are not enough to defend the city. What if..." Although Gong Changhai is brave in fighting style, he is not a brainless commander.

"But if we don't destroy their heavy weapons to attack the city, then when we wait for them, Kailu City will inevitably be unable to defend!" Gao Wenbin said.

"Do you ask the Iron Commander?" Gong Changkai said, "Although we infer that the Japanese's heavy weapons were right behind, we were blinded where they were and what route they were taking."

"Yes, is the Japanese's raid route clear?" Gao Wenbin turned his head and asked Liu Xuwu.

"We didn't react at all when this Japanese came suddenly. I didn't know which route the Japanese were taking!" Liu Xuwu's embarrassed face turned red!

"It's not the blame for Commander Liu. This time the Japanese deceived everyone. They acted quickly and had no signs. I guess they took the initiative to avoid Cundian along the way. Then they caught us off guard!" Gong Changkai said.

"No matter what, let's prepare a special operation team first, and the number of people is temporarily set to be one battalion!" Gao Wenbin said.

"Okay, I agree!" Gong Changhai is also a person who is not afraid of heaven or earth. This is very consistent with Gao Wenbin's personality!

In Chifeng City, Tie Meng was also actively preparing for war. From the news of the Japanese raid on Rehe, he realized that the Japanese army would not let Chifeng go!

Let Tie Meng command an army that is not affiliated with him, and also fight with elite Japanese devils from Japan, which invisibly put Tie Meng in a huge pressure!

If he followed Tie Meng's fighting style, he would not be willing to fight a defensive battle, but the current situation is that most of his troops are still prisoners. If they want to reorganize them into the Eastern Anti-Japanese War, it would not work within a week or two, but the Japanese might not be able to give him three days!

In extraordinary times, we can only use extraordinary methods to disrupt all the captives of the Second Brigade of Cui and Shi. Although this will bring about a temporary confusion, it also ensures that the military orders will be strictly enforced!

In this way, the workload brought is beyond imagination!

For the middle and lower-level officers of Cui and Shi brigades, they were identified first, then demoted, and added that they went to the first and second brigades, and were used cross-used.

Although this will create a military taboo that the general does not know the soldiers and does not know the general, as long as you fight a few battles and get it in, the problem should not be big. Fighting should be the best running-in device for a unit!

At this time, it is too late to follow the steps, so you can only use this unconventional method.

Temporary Command of Rehe Column.

"Telecommander, deputy commander and chief of staff!"

Tie Meng received the telegram and waved his hand to signal the correspondent to go down.

When Tie Meng saw the content of the telegram, his already tired face became even more gloomy, with more than half of the casualties. Such words rarely appear in the war reports of Dong Kang, and now, it appears again!

What does this mean? The enemy is coming in a fierce and extremely powerful way!

This time, the Japanese army dispatched troops from the local area to defend themselves. They basically had no fight with Dong Kang, and they were also new forces, so they were naturally different from the Kwantung Army that had been dealing with Dong Kang for more than half a year!

From this battle report, we can see how tragic this cavalry showdown was!

However, what made Tie Meng feel relieved was that despite such high casualties, Gao Wenbin and Gong Changhai were not scared by the enemy, and they were still actively planning an offensive plan!

"Communication!"

"arrive!"

"Go and invite Brigade Commander Geng over and say I have something to discuss!" Tie Meng put down the telegram and ordered.

After a while, Geng Jizhou Feng entered the command center in a hurry: "Commander, are you asking me for trouble?"

"The Chief of Staff just sent it back, look?"

"So many casualties?" Geng Jizhou was shocked.

"The Japanese are indeed very powerful in combat. There is a gap between us and them. If we hadn't discovered their ambush in advance this time, we might be in danger of being wiped out!" Tie Meng said.

"What does the commander plan to do?" Geng Jizhou asked.

"I really want to agree with their plan, but I don't know the Japanese army's route, number and strength!" Tie Meng was embarrassed.

"It is not clear what organization the Japanese army sent to capture the Luhui Association. If it is just infantry, then we don't need to worry too much. Although the Japanese infantry is also equipped with artillery, its caliber is relatively small and does not pose much threat to the strong city defense. But if it is an artillery equipped with heavy artillery, it will be dangerous!" Geng Jizhou said.

"The Japanese must want to fight quickly. The heavy artillery moves slowly and has a large target, so it is easy for us to detect the news. Moreover, the Japanese army is arrogant. This time, the Japanese army came from the local area again. At most, they would transfer a mountain artillery squadron. This is amazing!" Tie Meng analyzed.

"Well, the commander's analysis makes sense. If it is a heavy artillery, the action will be slow and the truck needs to be pulled. The target is too obvious. As long as our investigators pay a little attention, they will find out. I think even if the Japanese army has heavy firepower, there will not be too much!" Geng Jizhou nodded.

"So, Lao Geng, do you agree with adventure?" Tie Meng said.

"If the Japanese artillery can be destroyed, even a mountain artillery squadron will be of great significance to us defending Kailu!" Geng Jizhou said!

"Then take a risk!" Tie Meng punched the table.

"Staff General You, record the orders!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Agree with the possible reinforcement of Japanese artillery that you have asked to attack the Japanese army at night, but you must act within your ability. If the enemy is powerful, you should not act rashly and return quickly, cut, cut!" Tie Meng said.

"yes!"

"Draft a telegram now and want to report the battle between the headquarters and General Lu!"

After receiving Tie Meng's telegram, Lu Shan had already boarded the special train to Qiqihar. This time he went out, he basically maintained his original troops, but with the increase in the defense, there would never be any danger in the Wild Wolf Valley again!
