Chapter 1049: From moderately prosperous to wealthy!

Peking.

New group.

"Our victory this time has been very fruitful!"

Zhao Gang held a folder in his hand with a smile on his face:

"More than 400,000 Japanese and puppet troops were killed, wounded and captured, and more than 120,000 guns of various types were seized, more than 7 million rounds of bullets, more than 300,000 grenades, more than 200 artillery pieces, more than 1,000 machine guns, and combat supplies..."

Listening to Zhao Gang read it out one by one, the corners of Captain Li's mouth gradually rose.

Although the equipment of the Japanese and puppet troops is far more than that.

However, the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy losses in the battle. Many Japanese soldiers even destroyed their rifles and machine guns before they died.

In addition, almost all the Japanese mountain artillery, heavy artillery and artillery shells were blown up by the Japanese, and what was captured were basically small-caliber mortars and infantry guns.

Li Yunlong, who was accustomed to using heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, as well as semi-automatic rifles and fully automatic rifles, no longer looked down upon the equipment of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Not to mention Li Yunlong, even the front-line soldiers of the New Regiment and the main force of the 129th Division could only describe the Japanese equipment in one word: garbage.

However, these weapons and ammunition are still first-class equipment for militia guerrillas and the main force with poor equipment.

Even the national army was covetous of Japanese weapons and equipment.

After reading about the seizures, Zhao Gang cursed and expressed his inner feelings: "This bastard little devil is very poor."

Li Yunlong looked stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "These sons of bitches are indeed poor enough."

Things are different now.

In the past, the Eighth Route Army was like beggars in front of the Japs, but now the Japs are worse than beggars in front of the Eighth Route Army.

The gap between the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army is now much greater than the gap between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese.

"How many casualties did our Eighth Route Army have?" Li Yunlong asked.

As for how many enemies he had wiped out, Li Yunlong didn't ask because he had already calculated it.

Of course, this is just a rough calculation based on the enemy's organization, and it can be accurate to a hundred or a thousand at best, because many enemy soldiers were directly blown to pieces on the battlefield, or burned to ashes, with no bones left, so it is impossible to make accurate statistics.

"Almost all the troops have been restored, according to statistics from the staff department."

Zhao Gang turned to the next page of the document, stared at the document and continued:

"The casualties were much smaller than expected. Our Eighth Route Army suffered a total of 18,000 casualties. The ratio of casualties to the Japanese was about 1:10."

"18,000?" Li Yunlong nodded upon hearing this, "The casualties are indeed much smaller than expected."

Fighting in large groups is like a meat grinder.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and the head of the headquarters estimated that the total casualties of the troops attacking North China in this battle would be around 30,000.

The casualties of the new regiment were not large, mainly the casualties of the Central Hebei Military Region and the independent regiment, which were slightly larger.

But it is also within the acceptable range.

If the puppet troops are included, the casualty ratio between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese and puppet troops is about 1:20.

A very exaggerated casualty ratio.

The casualty statistics here do not include the 129th Division in the Xuzhou battlefield. The casualty ratio between the 129th Division and the Japanese army was almost 1:10.

After a pause, Li Yunlong sighed: "With the advantage of weapons, fighting is so refreshing!"

Zhao Gang nodded and agreed deeply: "Well! It is indeed comfortable to fight well when you are well equipped. Modern warfare is no longer the era of cold weapons. The strength of an army should be reflected in its powerful firepower. I suggest that in the future, the army will

The main purpose of construction should be to enhance firepower. In a word, firepower is king."

"That's right, firepower is king!" A smile appeared on Li Yunlong's face. Otherwise, Zhao Gang and he could pee in the same pot? It's because Zhao Gang is not pedantic in his thinking, and many of his ideas coincide with his.

In the past, whether it was the Red Army period or the old Eighth Route Army period, the firepower of the troops was always at a disadvantage, and there was almost no logistical supplies, so they all relied on seizures.

Now that we have that condition, we naturally need to build up firepower.

It is an important tactic to kill the enemy in large numbers and reduce the casualties of our own soldiers.

…

On the seventh day after regaining North China, Boss Chen brought his bodyguard Yan Shuangying to the headquarters of the new regiment.

While in the suburbs, Boss Chen sent a telegram to Li Yunlong.

Later, Boss Chen personally ordered the Sword Squadron to drive armored vehicles to greet him.

Peiping is a big city, crowded and crowded, and there are still many Japanese spies and agents who have not yet been cleared out.

Boss Chen's safety is the top priority. In the opinion of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Boss Chen's security level should be the same as that of the chief.

Without showing up at all, Boss Chen arrived at the regiment headquarters safely under the protection of the Sharp Sword Brigade.

After getting off the bus, Duan Peng took the lead in going to the regiment headquarters to report to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "The regiment leader, political commissar, boss Chen and boss Yan are here."

"Invite me quickly." Li Yunlong looked happy. Duan Peng was about to walk out, but Li Yunlong hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute, Political Commissar Zhao and I will go and invite him in person."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang put down their work, quickly put on their military caps, and walked out quickly.

I happened to see Huang Erhu leading Chen Feng and Yan Shuangying to the regiment headquarters.

Chen Feng looked around a few times, and then he took the initiative and said, "Boss Li, Boss Zhao, congratulations on getting rich! Your regiment is becoming more and more impressive."

Three years ago, Chen Feng remembered that the first time he visited the new regiment headquarters was in Zhengjia Village.

At that time, the new regiment had just finished the counter-mopping battle in Cangyunling, and Li Yunlong made a small profit.

The conditions at the regiment headquarters at that time were poor. The walls were made of stone and earth, covered with tiles, and looked as if they were about to collapse at any time.

Later, as the new regiment won more and more battles, its business grew bigger and bigger, and the regiment's headquarters became better and better.

Now the headquarters of the new regiment has moved into a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

After a few decades, if you want to buy a yard like this, the price will be at least over 100 million.

"Same joy." Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang clasped their fists in return. Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Our new regiment relies on your support, Brother Chen, to be where we are today. Otherwise, Brother Zhao, I and you wouldn't know which mountain we would be fighting guerrillas in."

Woolen cloth."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Gang feels the same, and what Li Yunlong said is true.

Without Boss Chen's assistance in the name of business, the Eighth Route Army would probably still be living a miserable life at this time, let alone regaining North China and annihilating the North China Front Army.

Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Brother Li, are you used to living in a high-walled compound? Otherwise, it would be more impressive if the regiment headquarters were moved into the Japanese headquarters."

"Japanese headquarters?" Li Yunlong said, "Old Li, we can't stay there."

Zhao Gang wiped his hands and said, "Brother Chen, please come in quickly."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang invited Chen Feng to the regiment headquarters.

Several operational staff officers were very sensible and waited until they moved to another room to work with maps, documents and telephones.

After entering the regiment headquarters, Chen Feng went straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense: "This time I came to your regiment headquarters mainly to verify the business price of the North China Campaign and to discuss the receipt of goods."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and both saw a deep joy in each other's eyes.

Although Boss Chen has never defaulted on a bill, he has always been honest and has always delivered goods to his door.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also unconditionally trust Boss Chen.

But then again, after all, I feel at ease with the weapons, ammunition and combat supplies I got.

"I've been waiting for you, Brother Chen, to come to my door for a long time." Li Yunlong suddenly smiled.

Chen Feng said: "In this North China campaign, two brothers led the troops to eliminate the main force of the North China Front. The Japanese troops eliminated were 9 divisions, plus 3 brigades, about 153,000 people, including the 11th Division.

It is a Category A division, which means a total of 213,000 Japanese quota."

"No problem!" Li Yunlong listened carefully, then smiled and said, "It's the same as mine and you, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Gang was also smiling and feeling happy. These were weapons and ammunition.

After calculating this wave of quotas, not only the new regiment, but also the entire Eighth Route Army will be extremely wealthy.

The conversation changed and Chen Feng asked: "Have you calculated the number of mountain artillery and tanks and armored vehicles that were captured and destroyed by the Japanese?"

"That's right." Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "Old Zhao, show the list to Brother Chen quickly."

Zhao Gang stood up quickly, and soon brought a folder and handed it to Chen Feng: "Brother Chen, this is the list compiled by the staff of our new regiment. Please take a look."

Chen Feng opened it and read it. This was a general list. It not only included the consumption of weapons and ammunition, but also the casualties of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the total number of Japanese and puppet troops killed and captured. Almost all of them were on the list.

After a while, Chen Feng saw a list of data on the destruction and capture of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the destruction and capture of artillery and Japanese cars.

All I saw on the list was:

Captured and destroyed 165 Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.

Approximately 450 Japanese artillery pieces of 75 mm or above were captured and destroyed.

Approximately 3,800 Japanese military vehicles were captured and destroyed.

Zhao Gang explained: "It is easier to count the destroyed and captured Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, but many cannons and cars were blown up by the Japanese themselves, so it takes about 100%."
