"Sir, because of your order, out of the three hundred officers and soldiers of our 48th Army Special Agent Battalion, there are now only fifty-four left!"
Sure enough, Xie Jinyuan was right. The 48th Army Special Agent Battalion, led by the battalion commander Xia Yansheng, had a total of thirty-one people.
Moreover, these thirty or so people were more or less injured. Battalion Commander Xia Yansheng was covered in blood.
But it looked like he wasn't seriously injured, just shrapnel on his body and multiple wounds on his head, causing bleeding.
Others were also slightly injured, some had their arms slung with bandages, and some were leaning on a wooden stick.
Moreover, Xia Yansheng said that there were more than 300 people in the battalion, but only 54 survived. Obviously there were still seriously injured soldiers who had not come, otherwise it would not be just these 30 people standing in front of the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Why are you arguing? Can we fight without killing people?"
Zhu Shengzhong was the most angry, not to mention that the other party was questioning Dragon Boat Festival at this time.
In his heart, the Dragon Boat Festival is as inviolable as the God of War.
Duanwu waved his hand and said: "Lao Zhu, step aside, we must be reasonable as human beings."
After that, Duanwu stepped forward.
Xia Yansheng kept staring at the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival wears the military uniform of the Northeast Army. Although the military uniforms are stained with blood, black dust, dirt, etc. But Xia Yansheng could still tell that this set of military uniforms was made of high-end fabrics that could only be worn by regimental-level officers.
And the collar badge of the Dragon Boat Festival also has the collar badge of the colonel.
He was a little surprised that the other party was already a regiment leader at such a young age.
Xia Yansheng stood at attention and saluted: "Hello, sir, but my words remain unchanged. Because of your words, our 48th Army Special Agent Battalion was almost wiped out. We are not afraid of death. We can shed our lives for this land, but we If you want to die, you will understand!"
Duanwu also saluted: "Okay, then I will give you an explanation. Old Abacus!"
"I'm coming!"
The old abacus was calculating accounts aside, and when he heard the roar of the Dragon Boat Festival, he ran over in a hurry.
With long hair, glasses, and a stooped posture when speaking, Ling Xia Yansheng looked at Lao Abacus and he didn't look like a soldier at all.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of army this was. Can such a person be considered a soldier?
At this time, Xia Yansheng's heart was even more painful, because he had listened to the orders of such a team and led his spy battalion to suffer heavy casualties and almost the entire army was annihilated.
He was heartbroken, because if he was given time to plan, or...
However, just when Xia Yansheng was extremely regretful, Duanwu loudly asked Lao Baanpan: "Lao Baanpan, the 48th Army Special Agent Battalion said they had nearly 300 casualties. What are our casualties."
Old Abacus reported: "Reporting to the regiment, 235 people were killed, 65 were seriously injured, and 315 were slightly injured. The total number of casualties was 615."
Duanwu heard the report and relayed it to Xia Yansheng: "Xia Yansheng, commander of the 48th Army Special Agent Battalion, did you hear that the 88th Division Independent Regiment and the 40th Division 79th Brigade had a total of 615 casualties. Now. You answer me, the life of your 48th Army Special Agent Battalion is life. Aren’t the lives of the soldiers of my Independent Regiment and 79th Brigade not life?"
But Xia Yansheng still refused to accept it and said: "Sir, fighting for the country, even if it is a corpse wrapped in horse leather, is an unshirkable responsibility and unlimited honor for our soldiers.
But I think the sacrifices of these people were caused by your command errors. If you think about it more, neither your 88th Division Independent Regiment, nor the 40th Division's 79th Brigade, nor our special agent battalion will suffer such heavy casualties.
In just two hours of fighting, nearly a thousand people were killed or injured. I have never seen such a battle. "
"What the hell have you seen?"
The more Zhu Shengzhong listened, the angrier he became. Because in his opinion, this is already the minimum price.
Counting serious injuries, only 300 people from the 79th Brigade and the Independent Regiment were seriously injured. Even if the casualties of the secret service battalion were included, the number of casualties was less than 600.
But the Japanese 103rd Brigade was completely wiped out except for one Japanese soldier who was let go to deliver a message.
Xia Yansheng only saw the number of casualties, but not the results of the battle. It was strange that Zhu Shengzhong was not angry.
At this time of the Dragon Boat Festival, he patted Zhu Shengzhong on the shoulder, asked him to step back, and asked: "Commander Xia, let me ask you, what is the highest battle loss ratio between our army and the Japanese army?"
Xia Yansheng thought for a while, but still said unspeakably: "Three, three to one, it's us three and the Japanese army one."
Duanwu said at this time: "Old Abacus, how many Japanese troops will we annihilate in this battle?"
Old Abacus reported: "Reporting on the number of people in the group. Although the specific number of people has not yet been calculated, according to the current number of people, the number is: one thousand two hundred and thirty-three."
Duanwu said with a straight face: "Captain Xia, if you were given the command to wipe out the 1,500-strong Japs Brigade, how many troops would you need, how much time would you need, how much artillery support would you need, and how much supplies would you need? Please answer. !”
"so many people?"
Xia Yansheng seemed unable to believe that so many enemy troops were wiped out in just two hours of fighting.
However, at this time, Duanwu stretched out his hand, and the knife on the side was handed to Duanwu's hand, a golden handle sword that had been cut with many gaps.
Danwu added: "This is the sword that killed the enemy's 103rd Brigade - Yamada Kaoriji in this battle. Now, in order to show my respect for all the officers and soldiers of the 48th Army's Special Agent Battalion, I hereby give this sword to the Special Agent Battalion. Please accept it. !”
"You, you, you just gave it to me? No, no, did you give it to our secret service camp?"
When he received the golden handle sword, Xia Yansheng was already stuttering.
Because he knew what this sword represented. That is military merit, that is the supreme honor.
No one will underestimate the honor of killing an enemy general on the anti-Japanese battlefield. This sword can turn the 48th Army Special Agent Battalion into a hero camp.
Needless to say, there are various rewards. Xia Yansheng and his surviving brothers will all be promoted and reused.
For the secret service camp, this is simply a great gift.
But at this time, Xie Jinyuan came closer and lowered his voice and said: "Tuanzuo, you gave the knife to Camp Commander Xia, so what do you want to explain to the brothers?"
Duanwu said loudly: "One sword is nothing. I will lead you to seize the second and the third. I will make each of you wear a sword with a golden handle!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!..."
The surrounding soldiers cheered again. Although they also knew that Japan probably did not have that many generals to kill, they still felt that Dragon Boat Festival's words were extremely inspiring.
They even thought that Dragon Boat Festival would lead them to kill all the Japanese.
At this time, Xie Jinyuan was quite speechless, because the man in front of him could often drive everyone crazy with just a few words.
But at this moment, Xia Yansheng knelt on the ground with a bang and apologized: "Sir, we were wrong. You are an excellent commander. And our secret service camp cannot accept this sword because it is This battle is the common honor of all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. I beg you, take it back!"
After saying that, Xia Yansheng held the knife in both hands and handed it to Duanwu, asking Duanwu to take it back! ...
