    After receiving the telegram forwarded from Nanjing, Yoshizumi Ryosuke was so angry that he vomited blood and instantly aged ten years!

    The experiences during this period completely overturned his understanding of the Chinese army. In his previous understanding, although the Chinese army has many elites, it is limited to a few direct branches of the Central Army. Not to mention the small number, the weapons and equipment can only be described as  It's just unsatisfactory.

    The vast majority of the troops still have crude weapons, and the soldiers have not received much training. They are like a group of farmers who have come to die. They are simply vulnerable.

    However, although what he faced this time was a miscellaneous infantry division, the opponent's weapons and equipment and the quality of its soldiers exceeded his expectations. Not only did the opponent have that terrible new weapon, but even before the heavy artillery regiment arrived at the front line,  , the opponent is not weaker than them in terms of artillery.

    In addition, this Chinese army exudes tenacity from top to bottom. Even when the city of Bengbu was defeated, the opponent did not collapse and still relied on the houses in the city to resist. This gave Yoshizumi Ryosuke the illusion that he encountered  is a fake Chinese army!

    However, at this point, Yoshizumi Ryosuke had no other choice but to pray for a smoother attack on Chu County, which would also allow him to save some face.

    As for what will happen after the war, he has already predicted that after this battle, he will probably be recruited back to the country. Perhaps because of his past achievements, the base camp will not send him to a military court, but it will not  Reuse yourself again.

    The best result is to stay in a Qingshui Yamen for two or three years and then retire directly!

    With this uneasy feeling, Yoshizumi Ryosuke and others marched hurriedly, and finally arrived in Chuxian County at around six o'clock in the evening.

    However, what surprised them was that the gate of Chu County City was open at this time, and the remains of a large number of imperial warriors were randomly discarded on the ground like rotten wood, just like some large pieces of garbage.

    The fierce battle that was imagined did not break out, but the situation after entering the city was more frightening than a fierce battle. The city was quiet without a soul, only the wild dogs wandered on the streets, sniffing the bodies of the fallen from time to time.

    The streets were filled with corpses, and the walls of the main street were riddled with bullet holes, showing how fierce the previous battle was.

    Back to the headquarters, the place has been looted, not to mention the maps, radios, etc., not even the tables, chairs, and benches are left, leaving only an empty house.

    Yoshizumi Ryosuke suppressed the rage in his heart and immediately ordered people to search the whole city to see if there were any survivors!

    After a search, it was found that there were no surviving imperial soldiers in the city. Even the wounded in the field hospital had been massacred. There were more than 7,000 wounded, and no one was spared.

    In the end, the Japanese army collected nearly 9,000 corpses in the urban area of ??Chuxian County, but not even a single living person was found.

    After taking a short rest, Yoshizumi Ryosuke immediately sent troops south to Nanqiao. Since the Chinese army has withdrawn its troops from Chu County, Nanqiao will definitely be abandoned.

    Sure enough, when the two brigades of Japanese troops arrived at Nanqiao, they found that the situation here was similar to that in Chuxian County. The city gate was open, corpses were everywhere on the ground, and the enemy had already fled!

    After such a huge blow, Yoshizumi Ryosuke became ill, and the illness was very serious. As a last resort, Yan Shunroku had to fly him back to Nanjing to recuperate. The frontline war was fully directed by Tanaka Shizuichi.

    With the Japanese army withdrawing to Chu County, the war was finally over for the time being, and Li Guoyao's troops could finally take a breath and count the casualties and results!

    It is easy to calculate the number of casualties. The total strength of each regiment and the number of existing troops can be subtracted to calculate the number of casualties. Then go to the field hospital to see how many wounded there are. Subtract these wounded to get the number of casualties.

    In less than a day, the casualty data of the 7th Division were compiled!

    Compared with the casualties, the results of the battle are not easy to count. The main reason is that there are too many battlefields. There were more than a hundred battles, large and small, and each battle had a record, so it is not easy to count.

    But by the evening of the 16th, the data also came out. When Li Guoyao got the statistics table, he was stunned.

    Statistics show that the Seventh Division lost more than 17,600 casualties and injured more than 23,000 people in this battle. Only more than 4,000 people were intact, mainly concentrated in field hospitals and logistics departments.

    In other words, except for those doctors, nurses and logistics personnel who did not go to the battlefield, almost everyone in the 7th Division was injured, and the casualties reached a terrifying 88%.

    Looking at this series of casualty figures, Li Guoyao's heart is bleeding. This series of figures is?In front of us are not just cold numbers, but also the lives that have passed away.

    More than 17,000 people have been killed in battle, and more than 16,000 seriously injured people are receiving treatment in hospitals. In this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, it is a miracle that two-thirds of these people can survive.  .

    What¡¯s more important is that not all of those who survived were able to return to the army. In the end, there were still a large number of soldiers who were disabled due to injuries and had to leave the army.

    Thinking about it, more than 20 days ago, he had a total of 50,000 men under his command, but after the first battle, including the slightly wounded, there were only more than 10,000 people left. This loss really made Li Guoyao feel extremely painful.

    He is not a hypocritical person, not so sentimental. He is used to seeing life and death. He thought he had adapted to this sudden loss.

    But now he knows that he is only adapting to a limited number of casualties. When this number exceeds his expectations, he will feel sad and sad.

    However, when Li Guoyao's attention turned to the statistics of the results of the battle, his mood suddenly improved a lot. According to statistics, the seven divisions had annihilated more than 48,000 Japanese troops in this battle. All the Japanese troops in Chu County were severely damaged, and the Chongteng detachment was completely wiped out.  , the casualties of the Ninth Division exceeded 70%, the casualties of the 13th Division also exceeded 60%, and the remnants of the 101st Division were completely wiped out.

    Even so, Li Guoyao could still tell at a glance that the statistics of this victory were full of water, and there was a lot of water.

    Before the war, Li Guoyao sent people to investigate the strength of the Japanese army in Chu County. According to the investigation results at that time, the total strength of the Japanese army in Chu County was about 38,000 people. When the Japanese army retreated yesterday, there were at least 10,000 people.

    Although more than 3,000 people were annihilated on the way, it is estimated that there will be at least 10,000 Japanese troops withdrawing from Chu County. Therefore, Li Guoyao estimated that the Japanese troops lost in this battle were between 25,000 and 28,000 troops.

    This number should be relatively reasonable, because the losses of the Seventh Division in this battle were only more than 40,000 people. If the Japanese army's losses exceeded the national army, it would obviously be unreasonable.

    It¡¯s just that the Warring States Army belongs to the winning side, so their wounded can receive effective treatment, while all the wounded of the Japanese Army were killed, so in terms of the number of casualties, the Japanese Army is much more than the 7th Division.

    But even so, this battle was still an unprecedented victory. In terms of the number of enemies annihilated, even the Battle of Taierzhuang was far behind.

    After thinking about it again and again, Li Guoyao changed the number of enemies to be wiped out from 48,000 to 30,000 with a stroke of his pen, killing 18,000 people at once.

    Although this is still a bit watery, but so what, Shangfeng obviously will not match their number of people.

    Then, based on this statistical data, Li Guoyao quickly drafted a good news report, and then reported it to the Third War Zone Chief's Department and Wuhan!
