The brigade commander said coldly: "These two fools have made such a big mistake. I will definitely not let them off lightly. Let's get rid of their leader first and reflect on it first!"
Hearing this, the brigade chief of staff said nothing more.
Compared with the most serious consequence, which is just being fired from the position of group leader, this punishment is much lighter.
Even if Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others heard the news, they wouldn't be able to say anything.
After taking stock after the war, in order to rescue these two guys.
The New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment can be said to have gone out with all their might, and Ding Weidu personally led his troops into battle.
Fortunately, the Japanese did not decide to continue to expand the war situation, but chose a conservative local combat method.
But even so, because the losses they caused cannot be described in a small way, they almost lost their entire family.
The battalion led by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie was almost completely wiped out, and all the weapons and equipment they carried were lost on the battlefield.
Among the New Regiment and Battalion, apart from Zhang Dabiao, only Li Yunlong was left. After this battle, a total of 842 soldiers of the New Regiment were killed.
The New Second Regiment did not fare much better, with a total of 679 soldiers killed.
A total of more than 1,500 people were killed in the two armies, which was the strength of one and a half regiments.
Neither the lightly injured nor the seriously injured were recorded. If they were included, the number would be even higher.
The main reason for this loss was that Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were not alert at all. After taking advantage several times, they did not know who they were, and ended up falling into the trap of the little devil.
Inflicting such heavy losses on the troops, the brigade commander considered them lucky if they didn't shoot them both.
If we have to talk about meritorious service, then it is only Ding Wei.
He was brave and resourceful, and was not fooled by small favors. In the end, he rescued two troublemakers and avoided greater casualties to the troops.
How to reward Ding Wei is another very serious question.
Ding Wei didn't know this at the moment. After successfully rescuing Li Yunlong and others, he immediately sent them to the field hospital.
The field hospital has sufficient medicines and professional medical resources. If they go there for treatment, their chances of survival will be greatly improved.
Ding Wei carried Li Yunlong all the way to the field hospital. Even if he was carrying one person, Xu Hu found it difficult to catch up.
Along the way, Ding Wei kept talking to Li Yunlong, trying to keep Li Yunlong awake and worried that once he fell asleep, he would never wake up.
When Li Yunlong was sent to the operating room, he only had half a breath left.
Kong Jie was fine, the wound was not fatal, and there was no bullet left in his body. After cleaning the wound, he was sent to the ward to rest.
However, given Kong Jie's condition, he probably wouldn't be able to wake up for a few days.
Ding Wei, who had been tensing up to a god level, finally took a breath and was now sitting on a chair in the hospital, resting and recovering his strength.
"Captain, how about I help you get two bottles of glucose to restore your strength?" Xu Hu asked worriedly when he saw Ding Wei looking tired.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Ding Wei waved his hand casually and said, "I'm just tired. I just need to rest. I'll keep the medicine for those who need it."
"yes!"
Xu Hu added: "How about I help you find something to eat? You haven't had anything to eat since the beginning of the war."
He clearly remembered that Ding Wei carried Li Yunlong all the way to the hospital without stopping for almost a moment.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Ding Wei said.
It's not that Ding Wei isn't hungry now, it's because Li Yunlong was injured that he has no appetite for food.
"Captain, you..." Xu Hu said again.
"Are you annoyed or not? I'm fine. You can either get out or shut up!" Ding Wei was annoyed by the nagging and said angrily.
"Oh..." Xu Hu responded aggrievedly and stood aside.
Ding Wei clenched his hands and lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.
suddenly.
Ding Wei felt another pair of soft hands holding him and turned around to look.
"Why are you here?" Ding Wei asked in surprise.
Qiu Chan smiled and said, "I'm worried that something might happen to you, so I'll take a look."
After a pause, Qiu Chan said again: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
With Qiu Chan here, Ding Wei felt that he was in a much better mood and waited patiently.
When Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the New Regiment, learned that Li Yunlong was injured, he could no longer sit still. He dropped the phone and ran towards the field hospital.
"Old Ding, Old Ding!"
Seeing Ding Wei sitting on the chair, Zhao Gang hurriedly ran to Ding Wei and asked: "Old..."
Zhao Gang originally wanted to ask Li Yunlong, but seeing Ding Wei covered in blood, he asked with concern: "Are you okay? There is so much blood?"
"fine."
Ding Wei said casually: "You are here to see Lao Li, right? He is undergoing surgery. Just wait and see. This is a field hospital and there are many doctors. Don't worry."
Zhao Gang opened his mouth, holding back thousands of words in his heart, but finally said two concise words: "Thank you!"
"Thank you for everything. We have seen a lot of people outside. We are good comrades in the same front." Ding Wei joked, relaxing the atmosphere.
"Old Ding, thank you so much. I understand that if it weren't for you this time, Lao Li wouldn't be able to come back." Zhao Gang said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have watched him fool around. If I had believed you at the beginning, I wouldn't have..."
"Don't think too much about Lao Li's temper. Even if you try to persuade him, this kid will tie you up." Ding Wei said with a smile.
Zhao Gang didn't know what to say for a moment.
"The doctor is out!" Ding Wei pointed to the previous doctor, ran over quickly, and asked, "Doctor, how is my friend?"
"The operation was successful." The doctor said with a relaxed look: "The patient was delivered in a timely manner, and the wound was treated in advance, which saved us a lot of operation time.
If you come a little later or don't do any treatment to the wound, the patient may not be able to get off the operating table at any time."
Hearing this, Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief.
If Li Yunlong is really gone, he doesn't know what to do next.
"Where is Li Yunlong?" Zhao Gang asked.
"After the operation is completed, he will be sent to the ward to rest." The doctor said warmly, "But you can't disturb him now. The patient needs to rest now."
"I understand, I understand." Zhao Gang said excitedly: "Doctor, thank you very much."
"You're welcome." The doctor said, "I still have something to do. Come back and see them in a few days."
"Okay, okay." Zhao Gang said repeatedly, saluting and shaking hands before sending the doctor away.
"Great, great." Zhao Gang's eyes filled with excitement.
Ding Wei comforted him: "Stop talking about this. So many things have happened to Xinyi Tuan. You should go back and deal with it quickly."
Zhao Gang's expression was a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine." Ding Wei comforted him.
Zhao Gang took a deep look at Ding Wei and said in a deep voice: "Okay!"
The New Regiment was in such a big mess and the troops suffered serious losses. He really needed to go back to calm the morale of the troops.
The most important thing is that because of Li Yunlong's wrong decision, he caused heavy losses to the troops, and he still doesn't know what the subsequent punishment will be.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gang stopped talking nonsense and quickly left the hospital.
Ding Wei looked at Qiu Chan again and said: "You do the same, go back to the team headquarters first, just let Xu Hu and I keep an eye on it."
After a pause, Ding Wei added: "There is also the New Second Regiment. Call them to tell them that Kong Jie is fine and ask them to stay calm recently."
"Okay!" Qiu Chan said no more: "I will come and tell you if something happens in the team, take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm not a child." Ding Wei said with a smile.
While Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were hospitalized, Ding Wei also stayed here to keep watch.
In order to facilitate the care, Ding Wei arranged for the two of them to live together.
Of course, this is another favor.
When the dean knew that it was Ding Weidi's request, he agreed without saying a word.
It's easy to do it if you want. Ding Wei brought in many professional medical staff for the field hospital, which greatly eased the medical pressure.
It also provided a lot of medicines to field hospitals, which solved the medication difficulties in field hospitals and saved the lives of many soldiers.
Even the medicines used for Li Yunlong's surgery were the medicines sent by Ding Wei.
The director of the hospital has long wanted to thank Ding Wei, but he has never been able to find any suitable opportunity. He and Ding Wei have not had much interaction, but the kindness is indeed owed.
Now this is a rare opportunity, and the dean will naturally do his best to help.
In just one morning, the transfer to the ward was completed.
In the past few days, there has been good news and bad news.
The good news is they're waking up soon.
Bad news...
That is related to Kong Jie and Li Yunlong. They have been dismissed from their posts for reflection.
Ding Wei crossed his legs, sat on the chair, and picked up an apple.
"Hey...why does my head hurt so much?"
Kong Jie, who had been unconscious for a long time, slowly woke up and looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of him with some confusion.
"Where am I? Am I not surrounded by Japanese soldiers?" Kong Jie's head was full of questions.
"Lao Kong, you're awake." Ding Wei saw Kong Jie waking up and walked over and asked.
"Old Ding?" Kong Jie saw Ding Wei, and the memory in his mind gradually recovered.
It was Ding Wei who saved them from the battlefield.
"Old Ding, my first battalion..." Kong Jie asked hurriedly.
Ding Wei slowly shook his head: "There are only a dozen left."
"..." Kong Jie was silent for a while, and his eyes were suddenly flooded with tears.
Ding Wei didn't say much, he just patted Kong Jie on the shoulder.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Kong Jie said: "Old Ding, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have been reimbursed."
"There is no need to say thank you between us." Ding Wei said seriously.
"I know, I know." Kong Jie suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, which was very bitter.
"You just woke up, don't be too sad." Ding Wei sighed.
While he was comforting Kong Jie, he suddenly heard movement behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Li Yunlong who also opened his eyes.
"Why do I think this place is so strange?" Li Yunlong asked in a weak tone, "Where is this?"
"Field hospital." Ding Wei suddenly said.
Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Li Yunlong hurriedly looked at the sound and said in surprise: "Old Ding, why are you here?"
"I saved you, why can't I be here?" Kong Jie said with a smile.
Li Yunlong carefully recalled the details of the battlefield, but he couldn't remember anything. He only remembered that he stabbed a Japanese soldier to death with a stone and then passed out.
"My Ding, my first battalion?" Li Yunlong's voice was trembling.
In such a high-intensity battle, Li Yunlong did not dare to think about the consequences of this time.
"Except for Zhang Dabiao, everyone is gone." Kong Jie said solemnly.
Li Yunlong was silent for a while, lying on the bed with empty eyes, and responded to Kong Jie.
Ding Wei sighed in his heart.
What’s more serious is yet to come…
Seeing how uncomfortable his two old comrades were, Ding Wei didn't know how to speak.
In the end, I decided not to tell them the bad news for the sake of their health.
…
Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka was in a very bad mood.
He originally thought that at least two Eighth Route Army-level commanders could be captured alive in this battle.
But the final result was not what he expected.
A unit suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and with lightning speed, it continuously broke through multiple defense lines of the imperial army and rescued the remnants of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment.
Although the final result was that the two units of the New Regiment and the New Second Regiment were severely damaged, Yoshio Shinozuka went into the war with the mentality that he could capture them alive.
Kamiya Ryosuke was much calmer. He had already expected that this kind of thing might happen.
For him, whether he can be captured alive is the icing on the cake. It can severely damage the two units of the Eighth Route Army and render them ineffective in a short period of time. The most important thing is to lay out the follow-up operations for the Imperial Army.
Compared to the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, he was more interested in Ding Wei.
From the time he started the assault to the end of the battle, it only took less than an hour to successfully rescue the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment.
This kind of combat speed is a bit like blitzkrieg on the European battlefield.
In the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle, Ding Wei was the only one who had not been fooled, and who had made battle arrangements in advance. Only a commander as cunning as a fox could be considered his opponent.
"Kamiya-kun." Shinozuka Yoshio said.
Kamiya Ryosuke responded: "What's the matter, General?"
"This battle is such a pity." Yoshio Shinozuka said with regret: "I thought I could capture a few officers alive, but a mouse disrupted the situation."
mouse?
Ryosuke Kamiya complained about Yoshio Shinozuka's adjectives, but he didn't say anything.
If that army were mice, and the imperial army couldn't even catch a mouse, wouldn't it mean that they were worse than mice?
As the commander of an army, you should not underestimate any of your opponents.
I don’t know how many losses the First Army suffered at the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Why don’t they even understand this?
Ryosuke Kamiya said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. At least we defeated two regiments of the Eighth Route Army.
The formation of the Shanxi North Iron Triangle is no longer stable. Now we should seize the time to prepare for the next war and expand our advantages on the battlefield!"
"Xinxi, you are right, Kamiya-kun." Yoshio Shinozuka was grumbling: "Do you have any ideas about the next battle?"
Commanding the first battle, the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses, and Yoshio Shinozuka began to believe in Ryosuke Kamiya's abilities.
"Idea?" Ryosuke Kamiya pondered for a while and said, "General, I do have an immature idea. I hope you can consider it."
"Tell me about it, Kamiya-kun." Yoshio Shinozuka was looking forward to it.
I look forward to Kamiya Ryosuke coming up with some eye-catching operations again.
"I don't know, General, have you ever heard of the Macedonian Line of Defense?" Kamiya Ryosuke said.
"The Macedonian line of defense?" Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a while and said, "You mean the line of defense on the German-French border?"
"Hai!"
Ryosuke Kamiya said seriously: "I believe that in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from continuing its external actions, a solid line of defense should be deployed to prevent the Eighth Route Army from advancing externally.
Since France can build this line of defense, and the Imperial Army can do the same, I plan to build an eastern Macedonian line of defense!"
