"This counter-mopping operation lasted for more than half a month. The soldiers and civilians in our base area suffered huge losses in order to repel the Japanese. The main force and militia companies suffered more than 4,500 casualties, including 1,895 who died and more than 600 who were disabled due to injuries.

, injured more than 2,100 people;

The people in the base area suffered more than 1,000 casualties, of which 362 were killed by the Japs and more than 800 were injured. Most of these came from the Japs' bombing.

Fortunately, we have always been in control of the battlefield, and most of the wounded can be rescued. The Japanese's 38-meter cover has limited lethality, and many of them are penetrating injuries, which can be recovered with simple treatment;

We also stocked up on a large amount of medicines before, and saved the lives of many comrades at critical moments. After treatment, most of the more than 3,000 wounded were able to return to the team. These will be real veterans in the future!"

Everyone felt a little better after hearing this, and they also mentally praised Captain Chu's wise decision to spare no effort to stock up on medicines, especially precious anti-inflammatory drugs. One medicine can save a life!

Chu Xiong motioned to Zhong Guoliang to continue. The base area's losses and consumption were more than that!

"Wei Yixiao consumed more than 3,000 explosive packets during the battle, and the previous reserves were almost empty. He consumed more than 5,000 rounds of various artillery shells, more than 800,000 rounds of bullets, more than 20,000 grenades, more than 1,000 kilograms of explosives, and destroyed more than 1,500 guns of various types.

, consuming more than 500 Mulan rockets..."

"More than 6,000 houses and more than 10,000 acres of wheat fields were destroyed in the base area. The loss of various properties was more than one million yuan. Of course, this is only a part. The loss of a lot of wealth cannot be counted. It can be said that the base area in this battle is also full of vitality.

hurt."

Everyone is convinced that when fighting in their own base areas, all the broken pots and jars are money. This is also an unavoidable problem in the anti-aggression war. Millions of troops have rushed into your country and fought back and forth, causing the greatest losses.

It must be the party being invaded!

"Comrades, the losses in our base areas are indeed great, but the results we have achieved are also brilliant. More than 13,000 Japanese have been wiped out. These are all old Japanese who have spent a lot of energy training;

In addition, they consumed a large amount of weapons, equipment and strategic materials in this battle. These things cannot be obtained in China. They have to be transported thousands of miles from the mainland. This is a real consumption of the Japanese national capital;

When you were counting the losses, you missed one item, that is, Shitou led the Tigers to blow up a Japanese airfield and destroyed more than 40 aircraft of various types. The fuel and aerial bombs could not be counted, so it is our victory.

It's brilliant, the enemy's losses are huge!

This national war is all about attrition to the end. When the Japanese come to China to fight, the logistics supply line is more than thousands of miles. The consumption on the road is even several times higher than the actual consumption. Such a war is not something that ordinary countries can withstand.

One day the Japanese will beat them until they can no longer wear underwear, and then it will be time for the Japanese to get out of China!

If China fights for another 20 years, it will still be China. Our people will live and work on this land forever. We cannot defeat them all or kill them all!

More and more people will join us, and we will use the vast ocean of people's war to drown all invaders. The final victory must belong to us, China!"

Chu Xiong's words completely ignited everyone's blood and strengthened everyone's determination to fight the Japanese to the end!

This is an era with no shortage of blood and sacrifice. As long as China keeps fighting, the Japanese will surely perish!

"Down with the devils!"

"Down with the invaders!"

"Long live the people!"

…

Passionate slogans sounded one after another from the regiment headquarters. Don’t think these slogans are useless. They are the determination of a person and a nation and the mark of the times. Even Chu Xiong joined in!

Chu Xiong, Gao Wancheng, Zhong Guoliang...

This is the clarion call for battle. Life is endless and the fight is endless!

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army achieved victory in the May 1st anti-mopping up campaign and annihilated the 14,000 Japanese Hengshan detachment!"

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the First Independent Regiment blew up the Japanese Zezhou Airport, destroyed more than 40 planes, and killed hundreds of pilots!"

"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army completely smashed the Japanese raids on southeastern Shanxi, annihilating 20,000 enemies, and the remaining 10,000 Japanese soldiers fled back to Taiyuan in embarrassment!"

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers..."

The newsboy's voice was hoarse, and people surrounded him one after another, using their frugal money to grab a newspaper from him. You don't have to eat lunch, but you must have the spiritual food for victory!

The great victory that took place in Liuzhen not only spread throughout the north and south of the Yangtze River, inside and outside the Great Wall, but also spread to the other side of the ocean, to Europe, and to Nanyang, where there are thousands of Chinese descendants...

In the Eagle Palace on the other side of the ocean, the wise old man sitting in a wheelchair, holding his iconic big cigar in his mouth, said to his most trusted general:

"George, this kid Dongfang is getting more and more interesting. Every eagle element we gave him in support was exchanged for a Japanese head. This deal is a good deal!"

"The Pacific Ocean is too small to accommodate the Goshawk and the growing ambitions of the Japanese navy. In the future, we will definitely have a battle with the Japanese!"

China has a population of 40 million, has ever-victorious generals like Chu, and has an inexhaustible supply of the best soldiers. As long as we give them enough money and equipment, they can help us exhaust the enemy forces.

The last drop of blood, how many great young men from Goshawk Kingdom will be sacrificed!"

Franklin's words always revealed the wisdom of the times, and his precise grasp of the general trend of the world made George admire him.

"Your Excellency, you are right. Those fools in Congress who have their eyes covered by eagles can only see the pitiful copper on their toes. The Japanese threw them a copper and told them not to hesitate to kill the goshawk."

Sell ​​the country's future to those greedy and cruel devils!"

The wise old man took a long puff of his cigar, and then put it out in the ashtray like a damned Japanese dwarf.

"George, this time, our children will definitely consume a lot of money. Inform Mr. Thomas that as long as the children need it, it will be shipped to them at any cost. Chu will pay for the required expenses. Doesn't he still have thousands of dollars in his account?

Well, let them come back to our Goshawk Kingdom!

For warriors who bleed excessively, we will replenish their blood and resurrect them with full blood, and then use up the blood of the Japanese people. In this process, we only paid some insignificant materials!"

Franklin's words made George, the fox in the Goshawk Army, smile meaningfully.

"Your Excellency, you are right!"
