Kitashirakawa Sei and Aso Taro have new plans, but they are probably the only two of them know what their real intentions are.

Because no one knows what Aso Taro was whispering to Kitashirakawa Shi just now.

However, Ito and others then received an order, which was to prepare for war and prepare for a counterattack. They also organized a team of extremely strong imperial troops to go out from the West City Gate, and then detoured the enemy's rear to launch a surprise attack.

Ito also felt that this plan was very clever. When the enemy was busy dealing with the frontal enemy, he stabbed the enemy in the back. If it succeeded, they could turn the situation around.

So this time, he called his guard captain Takahashi and asked him to pick people himself, and then waited for the opportunity to go out to Xichengmen to surprise the Chinese army.

At the same time, Dragon Boat Festival was not idle, and he was also counting the number of casualties and their weapons and ammunition.

Wang Tong and Lu Jian handed over the casualties he counted to the Dragon Boat Festival respectively.

After looking at the number of casualties on Dragon Boat Festival, it was expected. Wang Tong's regiment lost more than 400 people. Most of these people died in battle when they replaced the machine gun company of the independent regiment at the beginning. At that time, the battle on the city wall was very fierce. In less than half an hour, a company of the Northeast Army disappeared.

The other part died in the frontal battle with the Japanese and the battle to capture the East City Gate.

The troops have lost more than one-third of their troops, and the system is incomplete.

What about Lu Jian's Sichuan Army? More casualties were than Wang Tong's Northeast Army. In the subsequent battles, the two battlefields on the city wall swallowed a battalion of the Sichuan Army. In addition, the battles when entering the city, including the later feint attacks on the Japanese in front, more than two battalions were killed or injured, with a total of no less than 800 people.

In other words, after a battle, the number of casualties between the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army exceeded 1,300. This did not include casualties between the machine gun company and the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment.

But even so, this is still expected by Dragon Boat Festival. This is also the reason why Dragon Boat Festival does not like to fight positional and street fighting. Because once the battle starts, many people will be filled in this battlefield.

Do you still remember the Battle of Stalingrad that the world remembers? After that battle, not only the entire Stalingrad was destroyed, but millions of people were killed and injured.

Compared with such battles, the battle in Bengbu is much smaller in scale and fewer people die.

Dragon Boat Festival comforted him: "The brothers are all brave, and it is precisely because of their sacrifice that we can compete with the Japanese in Bengbu.

But I think the next battle may be even more cruel, you all need to be mentally prepared!"

Wang Tong nodded at this time and put it on, Lu Jian said: "Commissioner, don't you say that your independent regiment can come at dawn? We might as well consolidate the defense line and wait for dawn, which can also reduce some losses. And you often tell us that the lives of soldiers are important, and we must both eliminate the enemy and protect ourselves.

Of course, the special commissioner is not me, Lu Jian, who is afraid of death. I just think that if we continue to attack, it will only increase casualties."

Dragon Boat Festival laughed and said, "Old Lu said it well. I have always been a big fan of positional warfare or street warfare. Because in this way, no matter how perfect your plan is, the troops will suffer great casualties.

But since we have entered the city and whether or not we can fight is not the final say.

We said we would not fight, but the enemy wanted to fight, what should we do?"

When Dragon Boat Festival asked, Lu Jian nodded. Because indeed, if the enemy wants to fight, how can they not fight with him?

As for Dragon Boat Festival, I no longer talked about it at this time, but asked the old abacus to take out a map of Bengbu.

This is a town map. When the Dragon Boat Festival entered Bengbu, I asked the mayor for it.

While pointing at the map, the Dragon Boat Festival said, "Now, most of the south city wall, the east city wall, and a small part of the west city wall are in our hands. So our safe activity area is in the south of the city and the east of the city.

But we can't be careless, because the West City Gate and the North City Gate are still in the hands of the Japanese.

It can be said that the Japanese did not force us to the dead end. Not only could they retreat calmly, but they were also very likely to go out of these two city gates to attack us. So the first thing we had to do was to send scouts to monitor these two city gates. Once the Japanese quietly left the city gates, they would report immediately.

In addition to monitoring these two city gates, the most important thing is the city wall. Let the brothers take turns to defend their positions on the city wall. As Lao Lu said, our reinforcements will arrive tomorrow morning, so since we have already established a firm foothold in the city, there is no need to fight the Japanese to the death.

In addition, it is inside the city. The commanding heights of the south and east of the city must be guarded by heavy troops. If the Japanese suffer a loss, they are very likely to give us a picture of it.

The front line of defense must be taken care of by Lao Lu. Then I will let Lao Wang's troops replace the troops on your city wall and rest."

"Special commissioner, our Sichuan Army can still defend. The brothers of the Northeast Army also suffered great losses."

Lu Jian declined because he knew that the battle on the city wall was the most cruel. The Northeast Army suffered a lot of losses when fighting on the city wall. Later, with the Dragon Boat Festival special envoy, they successfully seized two important Japanese military sites, the church and the foreign company. Otherwise, the battle on the East City Wall would not be over until now, and I don’t know how many brothers would be killed or injured.

So now, Lu Jian feels it is a bit unreasonable to hand over the most tragic battlefield to his brothers from the Northeast Army.

"Hey, Brigade Commander Lu, compared to us, the Sichuan Army brothers have suffered greater losses. Let's go! Let's have a good rest and rest, let's go."

Wang Tong said politely, and before Lu Jian could say anything, Dragon Boat Festival said: "Don't give in to both, there is a reason for me to do this. Because the situation will be very complicated in the next battle. The enemy is very likely to pretend to be the Sichuan Army, or the Northeast Army sneak in and destroy our military defense line.

So I distinguish the defenses of the Northeast Army from the Sichuan Army brothers. In this way, if the Japanese pretend to be the Sichuan Army or pretend to be the Northeast Army, our people can quickly identify them. Therefore, the brothers of the Northeast Army are on the city wall and guard the South City Gate and the East City Gate. The Sichuan Army brothers must guard the defense line in the city.

During this period, if I did not have my order, the brothers of the Sichuan Army and the Northeast Army would perform their duties. Once a suspicious person was found, they could shoot immediately. Do you all understand?"

When the Dragon Boat Festival asked, Wang Tong and Lu Jian suddenly realized. It turned out that the purpose of the special envoy was actually here.

Both of them nodded in admiration, thinking that the Dragon Boat Festival commissioner was indeed thoughtful. But at this moment, Lao Ababa walked in from outside the office with a very anxious look on his face.
