"Twelve of our battalion and Qin Dongsheng's battalion were killed and fifteen were injured, all of which were minor injuries!" Gao Cang also reported the overall casualties of his regiment.

This number of casualties was acceptable. After all, they had laid so many traps in the woods, and their soldiers were hidden in the woods, catching the little Japanese by surprise.

"Bury all the fallen soldiers and don't raise their graves!" Zhao Zhiguo said.

At dawn tomorrow, the Japanese troops will definitely enter the woods and dig up the graves. They will definitely dig out all the bodies.

Zhao Zhiguo knew how cruel the little devil was. His brothers were already dead and he could no longer let the dead be disturbed by these beasts.

"But...how will we find them in the future?" Gao Cang said distressedly.

These soldiers all volunteered to fight against Japan and joined the team, and they could not even leave a name behind them after their death.

"They must have thought that this day would come," Zhao Zhiguo smiled bitterly, "Don't take away their weapons. Bury them with them. Carve their names on the weapons. Maybe one day when it disturbs them,

Their names will shine into the sky one day."

On the road of resistance against Japan, too many unknown heroes fell, never to be found or remembered, but no one will forget those difficult years, and no one will forget that there was a group of people who gave up their homes and careers for the sake of others.

A group of people have a more stable life.

Gao Cang nodded and followed Zhao Zhiguo's arrangement to bury the soldiers and sprinkle them with a thick layer of leaves, as if they had never been in this world.

"Qin Dongsheng, take your people to collect all the weapons and ammunition from the Japanese corpses, and rearrange the traps. Although we are gone, we cannot let the little Japanese come in too smoothly."

Qin Dongsheng received the order and took the time to arrange it.

"Yao Pengju, your special team is the vanguard and will clear a way for the main force tonight. This is where we are. We must continue to retreat north!" Zhao Zhiguo said to Yao Pengju.

"Captain, do you want to confuse the little Japs? Let's attack the little Japs in the east first, so that they will mistakenly think that we are retreating to the east, and then suddenly break out to the north!"

When Zhao Zhiguo heard Yao Peng's tactics of attacking east and west, he grinned: "Have you started learning the art of war?"

Yao Pengju smiled sheepishly: "Don't I think it's more reliable this way?"

"The confidence is high, but as soon as the gunshots are fired, all the Japanese troops will know that we have broken through. Do you think the Japs will not catch up?"

"Oh, that's right!"

"The skill I entrusted to your special team is to kill people silently. What do you mean by silent people? They just kill the little devils quietly, and then we leave this ghost place without anyone noticing."

Since they were leaving, of course Zhao Zhiguo had to leave quietly. After all, it was still a long time before dawn. They could march at night, put some distance between them and the Japanese army, and take this opportunity to disappear from the sight of the Japanese army.

"Hehehe, I almost forgot about this."

"What are you discussing?" Captain Qi came up at this time.

Every time Zhao Zhiguo gave an order, he did not deliberately go behind Commander Qi's back, but every time Commander Qi always felt that Zhao Zhiguo was doing things secretly.

"Does Commander Qi have any good opinions on the plan to break out tonight?"

"I don't have any good opinions, but I heard that you collected a lot of ammunition from the corpses of the Japs. I wonder if Commander Zhao can give us some?"

"Sir Qi, we suffered nearly 30 casualties in today's battle. These little devils were all killed by our soldiers. You didn't show any strength, so you just want to take weapons and ammunition from our hands with just your mouth?"

"

When Yao Pengju heard Commander Qi asking for ammunition, he showed no politeness at all, and was immediately furious.

"Captain Zhao, the soldiers under your command are in need of discipline. Are they so uneducated? If you don't know how to speak to a superior, do you need to salute and report first?"

When Commander Qi heard Yao Pengju's cynicism, he didn't blush or breath, and even accused Yao Pengju and Zhao Zhiguo.

"Captain Qi, of course I know the temperaments of the people under me, but today's ammunition cannot be distributed to you. Since we merged together, our regiment has been fighting, and the consumption of ammunition is much greater than yours.

And on the way back, once we encounter the Japanese army, our regiment will also be the main force in the battle and we will need more ammunition."

It's not that Zhao Zhiguo doesn't want to share ammunition with Commander Qi, but that their soldiers need ammunition more. No one knows what will happen next, so he naturally prioritizes ensuring the strongest combat effectiveness of the troops so that they can survive.

"Captain Zhao, what do you mean?"

Hearing Zhao Zhiguo's rejection, Captain Qi was immediately dissatisfied. He was a dignified leader after all, and being able to lower his head and come to Zhao Zhiguo had already given Zhao Zhiguo face. Now that Zhao Zhiguo had rejected him, he naturally felt a little embarrassed on his face.

"Captain Qi, if you really want ammunition, there are a lot of little Japs outside. Go and fight them yourself. How much ammunition you can seize is your business. We will never want a bullet from you."

At the beginning, Yao Pengju dared to refuse even Chu Jie, let alone Captain Qi. Except for his brothers who were born and died, he, Yao Pengju, really would not be polite to anyone.

"you……"

Being retorted by a lieutenant, Commander Qi's eyes were split open and he looked like he wanted to beat Yao Pengju up.

"Ha! Chief Qi, do you want to take action against me? It's not that I, Zhao Zhiguo, look down on you, but even if you are like you, none of the five of you can be my opponent!"

Yao Pengju looked at Captain Qi with disdain. If Captain Qi really wanted to attack him, he would definitely not show mercy and would have to beat Captain Qi until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

"Old Yao, please stop saying a few words. Commander Qi is your superior after all."

Zhao Zhiguo also felt that Yao Pengju had gone too far. The current situation was critical, and everyone needed to unite as one to overcome the difficulties and fight against the little devils together, instead of engaging in internal strife first.

"Okay...very good...let's see!"

Captain Qi took a deep breath, thinking that when he got to a safe place, how could he, a dignified captain, not be able to deal with a lieutenant?

Captain Qi left angrily, but this scene was seen by Niu Feiyuan.

Among the members of the investigation team of the 68th Division, except for Niu Feiyuan and Xiao Gaoyi who were not killed, the other members were all dead. The main reason was that the combat effectiveness of Zhao Zhiguo's group exceeded everyone's imagination. These two people did not go to the battlefield.

If placed in the other two groups, there is a 90% chance that these two people would have become a corpse.

Even though the troops were in such a desperate situation, the two men still adhered to their duties and secretly observed whether there were any red personnel in the troops.
