"Qiu Fan, the statistics of troop casualties are out, take a look!"
Just as Li Qiufan was thinking about how to place these weapons and equipment, Zhao Gang suddenly came to him and said.
After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Qiufan took the statistical roster from his hand and read it.
After six days of fighting with the enemy in Huangcaoling, although they successfully annihilated two enemy divisions, they lost more than 11,000 troops.
In Li Qiufan's impression, his troops had not suffered such casualties for a long time, and his mood became a little heavy.
"Qiu Fan, don't feel too uncomfortable. Now that we have captured so many advanced weapons and equipment, there will be no such casualties in the future."
Zhao Gang saw Li Qiufan's reaction and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
"You are right, there will never be such casualties again!"
"Old Zhao, you take the troops to rest in Sanjuli. I want to go to the Dayu Cave headquarters!"
After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Qiufan took a long breath and said in agreement, and then prepared to go to Dayu Cave.
"Dayu Cave? Why are you going to the headquarters?"
Hearing that Li Qiufan was going to the headquarters, Zhao Gang asked him doubtfully.
"We'll talk about it when I get back!"
However, Li Qiufan did not explain, and directly transferred a company from the Mountain Division and rushed to Dayu Cave.
Over at Dayu Cave, after receiving the battle report from Li Qiufan's First Corps, the boss was so excited that he couldn't even sleep, so he took the telegram and read it over and over again.
Because just a few days ago, due to the erroneous decision-making of the commander of the 38th Army, the enemy troops in the Xichuan area were released.
And in subsequent operations, the 38th Army still failed to complete its mission, which made the boss very angry.
At this time, Li Qiufan's telegram was like a timely rain that extinguished the boss's anger.
On November 12, Li Qiufan finally arrived at Dayu Cave, and the boss was surprised to learn that Li Qiufan had come to the headquarters.
"If you don't lead the troops on the front line, what are you doing here at the headquarters? Could it be that you want to ask me for credit in person?"
After seeing Li Qiufan, the boss asked Li Qiufan doubtfully and even teased him.
"Boss, please stop joking, I came to the headquarters to see you for business!"
After hearing the boss's teasing, Li Qiufan smiled helplessly and said to him.
"Business? What business?"
When he heard Li Qiufan say that he had business with him, the boss immediately became serious.
"Boss, I would like to apply to you to mobilize my Fourth Army to fight in the peninsula!"
Li Qiufan didn't hide it, and even said his request.
"Transfer your fourth army? What do you want to do? You are not allowed to pull the mountain!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's request, the boss became even more confused and didn't understand what he wanted to do.
"Boss, take a look, this is the casualty situation of our first corps after six days of fighting!"
Li Qiufan did not rush to explain, but took out his unit's casualty list and handed it to his boss.
After hearing this, the boss immediately took it and then looked down.
"There are more than 11,000 people, and your kid has suffered a lot of casualties this time!"
After seeing the casualties of the first corps, the boss couldn't help but sigh.
"Not only is it not small, it is simply too big!"
"In this battle at Huangcaoling, our casualties were mainly caused by the beautiful Chinese troops. Their weapons and equipment are much more advanced than ours!"
"This time we destroyed the enemy's 3rd Infantry Division and captured a large number of tanks and anti-aircraft armored vehicles, as well as a large number of artillery and vehicles."
"Although so many advanced weapons and equipment have been seized, there is a lack of people who can control them, so I want to apply for my fourth army to enter the peninsula."
"Because I, the predecessor of the Fourth Army, wanted to form a quick reaction force. You also know this boss. A large number of the soldiers can control cars."
"So as long as these soldiers undergo simple teaching, it will be no problem to operate these newly captured tanks and combat vehicles!"
After hearing the boss's sigh, Li Qiufan first nodded in agreement, and then explained why he wanted to mobilize the Fourth Army into the peninsula.
"So that's what happened!"
After listening to Li Qiufan's explanation, the boss nodded towards him and said.
"I will submit an application to the Military Commission for this matter. If you have any other needs, we will finish it together!"
After understanding what was going on, the boss immediately decided to apply to the Military Commission to transfer Li Qiufan's Fourth Army to the peninsula, and asked him if he had any other needs.
"If possible, incorporate the artillery from my other armies into the Fourth Army and transfer them here. I am going to establish another heavy artillery brigade!"
After hearing what the boss said, Li Qiufan pondered for a moment and then said to him.
"Good boy, this battle has just begun, and you've already raised a heavy artillery brigade like a fool!"
The boss immediately became happy when he heard Li Qiufan's words, and then pointed at Li Qiufan and laughed and cursed.
"The beautiful country's troops are rich. One division's heavy weapons are comparable to my entire army."
After hearing what the boss said, Li Qiufan spread his hands innocently and said.
"Okay, I'll take care of this!"
"By the way, now that you're here, don't rush back. Commanders and fighters from all armies will come to the headquarters tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There will be a meeting then."
The boss smiled and nodded to Li Qiufan, agreed to his request, and then stayed with him for the meeting.
When Li Qiufan heard that the boss said he was going to have a meeting, he immediately knew what kind of meeting it was and then nodded towards the boss.
The next day, commanders and fighters from various units arrived at Dayu Cave one after another. Everyone talked with each other about their combat experiences with the Southern Korean Army and the beautiful American troops.
After everyone arrived, the boss led everyone into the conference room, and then arranged to sit down and start the meeting.
After the meeting began, the boss first conveyed the instructions of the Military Commission, and then talked about the first battle after entering the peninsula.
As expected, the boss snarled at the commander of the 38th Army, and then the entire conference room became a commotion, with everyone interceding for him.
"Boss, this is our first time fighting against the Southern Korean and American troops. We don't know them well, so errors in judgment are inevitable."
"After all, when we were fighting against the Japanese and the Chinese army, didn't we slowly learn how to do it?"
Seeing that everyone was trying to persuade the boss, Li Qiufan couldn't sit still and said something to the boss.
But it was okay that he didn't speak. The boss became even more angry when he spoke.
"Why isn't our First Corps afraid of the beautiful country's troops? You just heard about the black regiment and didn't dare to fight. What they faced on the Eastern Front was the beautiful country's First Marine Division!"
The boss pointed at Li Qiufan, who stood up, and directed his attack at the commander of the 38th Army, which made Li Qiufan look for holes in the ground in embarrassment.
