Tianjia Village maintains the meeting compound, and everyone is shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.

There were more than 220 people before leaving, and in the end, only 115 people came back, including 5 seriously injured people who could die at any time.

As for the grain, only half of it was snatched back in total, less than 15,000 kilograms.

The troops suffered heavy losses and did not achieve the planned combat target. It can be concluded that this was a defeat, a very miserable defeat.

"Company Commander, the soldiers are depressed and their morale is in turmoil. This problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise there will be chaos!" A rank leader frowned and reminded.

"The turmoil is just the beginning. I am worried that some people in it will take the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that they have been deceived by themselves. It is better to be a prisoner of the Japanese than to be a Eighth Route Army, and at least they can live!" The Invalid Army was very clear about the gap between the new recruits and the old troops.

During the Red Army, the old troops would not collapse no matter how many defeats they experienced. As long as the instructor said a few inspiring words, the entire troops would be immediately inspired to scream and be pulled out and can go to the battlefield.

The new troops are not good, especially the new troops composed of prisoners.

The ingredients are complex and they have not truly integrated into the Eighth Route Army.

After winning the battle, there is no problem at all, and it can also increase their sense of honor and help them integrate into the Eighth Route Army.

But if you lose a battle, you won’t be able to do it. All kinds of problems will be exposed like a sudden explosion of a powder barrel.

The instructor replied helplessly: "Company Commander, I am responsible for the ideological work of the soldiers. Now that there is a problem, I will take full responsibility!"

"I plan to go to a row of garrisons in a while and do their ideological work one by one. Isn't it just a defeat? At worst, we will win back when we meet the Japanese next time we meet the Japanese and take revenge!"

"Who said we were defeated!" The Envoy suddenly seized the key point of solving the problem and asked with a frown.

The instructor and the platoon leader both looked at Rongjun, showing a disbelief.

Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by the Envoy and said, "We wiped out more than fifty Japanese, more than thirty puppet troops, captured more than 60 puppet troops, seized a large number of weapons and ammunition. Although we failed to wipe out the Japanese reinforcements, we also wiped out more than twenty Japanese!"

"The whole group is more than eighty Japanese, more than one hundred puppet troops, and a total of two hundred Japanese and puppet troops."

"And our total casualties totaled more than 130 people, one to one, five, do you know what this means?"

The instructor seemed to understand: "We can kill three Japanese and puppet troops with two casualties!"

"Yes, then do you know the casualties of the Northwest Army fighting against the Japanese on the battlefield?" Jun Xiang raised his eyebrows and analyzed to himself.

"On average, we sacrificed three soldiers to kill one Japanese devil. Compared with this casualty ratio, we not only won the battle, but also won the battle!"

"We have always fought with the regiment commander and rarely fought with the Japanese in this way. This gave us an illusion that as long as there were heavy casualties, we would be defeated. However, we forgot that even if the regiment commander is here, we cannot fight with the Japanese in a row. We should fight to the death or fight to the death!"

"There are great casualties, and it is impossible to avoid them."

"So, we did not lose. With such a casualty ratio, no matter which unit is placed, it will win a battle, not a defeat!"

"Instructors, you do their ideological work in this regard."

"If it still doesn't work and someone makes trouble, it proves that this person is not really fighting the Japanese and is not suitable for staying in our Eighth Route Army!"

The instructor immediately affirmed: "Don't worry, company commander, I will go over and correct everyone's idea that we have lost the battle."

"It was obviously a victory, but now it is rumored to be successful and defeated. How can the morale of the army remain unchanged!"

As soon as the instructor left, the face of the Jung Jun became heavy again.

In the entire battle, in terms of casualties, I can indeed say that I won the battle, but if I analyze it in two battles: attacking strongholds and attacking Japanese reinforcements, the latter battle would be a complete defeat, and it would be a crushing defeat, with no reason.

"Armored cars, we must find a way to find out where the Japanese armored cars came from and how many are there~" Xiangjun frowned and analyzed.

"Otherwise, if you encounter Japanese armored cars every time in the next battle, then there will be no way to fight this battle!"

Wang Jianxin took on this task: "I'll check. The puppet army battalion commander of Fengyun Town took us benefits a few days ago, so he should be able to make some comments. In addition, you can also ask the captive puppet army! They should know some news!"

"Okay, leave the prisoner interrogation to me!" Rongjun readily accepted Wang Jianxin's proposal.

He continued: "Although the food I snatched back is not much, we have less than 10,000 yuan, and saving a month is enough to eat. Therefore, the food must be shipped to the other two as soon as possible."

"Everyone is too tired today, and the Japanese are alert. We will act again tomorrow!"

At the command of the Japanese military brigade in Linfen City, the Chief of Staff was very happy to knock on Major General Matsui's door.

"General, our arrangement works!"

"The Eighth Route Army just attacked one of our strongholds. The nearby mobile team arrived quickly and relied on armored cars to repel the Eighth Route Army's offensive troops, and they also suffered heavy losses!"

"Yo Xi!" Matsui's frown was stretched out as his subordinates woke him up, and he read it after receiving the telegram.

"Nani, more than 80 imperial troops were injured and killed, and there was also an Imperial Army in a company!" As he looked, Matsui's brow frowned again.

He stared at the chief of staff and asked: "What do the stronghold guards do for food? They were completely wiped out without holding on for twenty minutes!"

The Chief of Staff shook his head and replied: "I don't know, but I just ordered that all strongholds must be more vigilant at night to avoid such a thing from recurring!"

"Very good. As long as you defend the stronghold, the casualties of the Imperial Army will be greatly reduced, while the casualties of the Eighth Route Army will become increasingly severe. In less than a few battles, they will be consumed completely by us." Major General Matsui was very satisfied with the arrangements of the Chief of Staff, and then said with a look of longing.

"We now control all the roads. When they come out more often, the nest will be exposed. At that time, we can divide our troops and divide the areas to clear them out and completely eliminate them!"

The next day, the Envoy dragged ten mules and horses to another maintenance club that was controlled by him.

The two villages were stationed on both sides of the highway. If the Envoy wanted to get from Tianjia Village to his destination, he had to cross the highway.

Wang Ping followed the guard squad to find a mountain bag next to the road and stopped, then climbed to the top of the mountain bag with him.

"Company Commander, there is a gun tower every two kilometers on the highway. I walked it during the day, and only in front is the best place for us to cross the highway!"

"There is a corner there, which is the blind spot of the Japanese in the artillery towers on both sides. It should be able to go from under their noses. I have a special experiment during the day!"

The guard squad leader is also an old Red Army and an old investigator. He originally wanted to be a platoon leader, but he was forced to come from the battalion commander to serve as the guard squad leader.

For him, the Envoy had absolute trust and immediately affirmed: "Okay, just go there and cross the road!"
