    Regarding the Chinese reports, the Japanese army naturally spared no effort to refute. The first refutation was the number of enemies annihilated. The Japanese Central China Front admitted that the troops on the Bengbu front line after the war only lost about 8,000 people.

    Among them, only 3,000 were killed on the front-line battlefield, and the remaining 5,000 were injured and evacuated to Chuxian County for treatment. However, after the 7th Division sneak attack on Chuxian County, they were all executed. Therefore, the commander of the Central China Front Army, General Yan Junliu,  He personally came forward to accuse Li Guoyao's troops of massacring the wounded and prisoners of war.

    Secondly, the Japanese army expressed doubts about the number of Bengbu defenders reported by the Nationalist Government. The Japanese army firmly disagreed with the statement that Bengbu had only one division of defenders. They cited examples of the successive blockades their troops encountered when attacking Bengbu.  The number of Chinese troops in the three directions of Dingyuan, Fengyang and Guangming is in the tens of thousands.

    Therefore, the Japanese army insists that the garrison in Bengbu has at least 10 to 15 divisions, with a total strength of more than 100,000 people. The so-called statement that one division can resist the Japanese army of 50,000 people is pure nonsense.

    However, while the Nationalist Government and the Central China Front Army were constantly bickering, a report from Japan attracted everyone's attention.

    This news was reported by the Japanese government's official media "Asahi Shimbun". This news disclosed some details of the Battle of Bengbu. Of course, the focus of this news was not to promote the Battle of Bengbu, but to promote Chiaki Shigeto.  .

    According to the practice of the Japanese army, after a senior officer is killed in action, the Japanese army will publicize it. The main purpose is to set an example and then inspire the fighting will of the frontline troops.

    For example, when the Japanese army invaded Shanghai in 1932, a captain of the 7th Regiment was captured and committed suicide out of shame. Afterwards, the Japanese Kawai Picture Production Company specially filmed a film called "Yamato Soul Idle Major"  Documentaries and public screenings.

    The death of a major captain was like this, let alone the major general captain Chiaki Shigeto. After his death, the Japanese side had to report it no matter what the reasons were.

    Since we want to report, we have to cover the relevant situation of the Battle of Bengbu, so many details of this battle have been disclosed.

    According to the "Asahi Shimbun" report, the Chongteng Detachment had already suffered heavy losses from the defenders when they attacked Dingyuan. At that time, the defenders dug up the dam of a reservoir upstream of the Chongteng Detachment and directly flooded nearly 3,000 of the main force of the Chongteng Detachment.

    It can be seen that the troops of Chongteng detachment heading to Bengbu City only had about half of the total strength. When they retreated to Dingyuan after a bloody battle, they had few troops. They were eventually surrounded and annihilated by the national army on the way. It was also at that time that Chongteng Chiaki  Shot dead.

    As soon as this news came out, it quickly aroused everyone's attention, because although this news was short in words and was about Shigeto Chiaki, it exposed some secrets through some contents.

    First of all, everyone has seen one thing clearly through this incident, that is, the top brass of the Japanese army lied about the number of losses, because according to the establishment of the mixed detachment of the Japanese army, it generally has two infantry regiments plus a small number of artillery, engineers and communication troops.  , and some even equip a tank unit.

    Therefore, the total strength of such a mixed brigade is usually not less than 7,000, and may even be as many as 8,000. Even though the Chongteng detachment has been fighting on the Chinese battlefield for half a year before, and the strength has declined, but  Since they are used as the main force, there will probably be no less than six or seven thousand people.

    Now that such a complete unit has been wiped out, the Japanese army has lost nearly 7,000 people in Dingyuan alone. How can it be possible that the Guangming Defense Line and Fengyang Defense Line, which fought more fiercely, only lost more than a thousand people in total?

    More importantly, the most intense battle in this battle was the Bengbu offensive and defensive battle. At that time, the Central China Front Army even dispatched heavy artillery units, which shows how fierce the battle was.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The two sides have been fighting for five days inside and outside Bengbu city. Even if they only lose 200 people a day, they will lose more than 1,000 people.

    Besides, can a battle with two hundred casualties be called a war, and can it be called a fierce battle?

    In addition, according to previous reports from the Central China Front, Li Guoyao's troops directly executed 5,000 wounded Japanese soldiers during the sneak attack on Chu County. Even if these people were added to the Chongteng detachment that was annihilated on the Dingyuan front line, the number of Japanese troops annihilated exceeded that of  Twelve thousand people.

    Not to mention that these five thousand yuan can also explain a lot of problems. That is five thousand people. In general battles, there is usually a certain ratio of wounded to dead.

    If five thousand people were injured, then the number of killed would be at least one-half of the number of injured, that is, 2,500.

    Of course, this is not absolute. There are some fierce battles and even formations.The number of wounded will be greater than the number of injured. For example, in the recent defense battle of Teng County, after a bloody battle, almost all the Sichuan troops stationed in Teng County were wiped out, and the number of dead was far more than the injured and survivors.

    But no matter what, one thing is certain, that is, the Japanese absolutely lied about the loss of soldiers. It must have been more than 8,000, at least 15,000 or more.

    But it is not what the Nationalist Government said. A total of 30,000 enemies were wiped out in this battle. This is an unknown number.

    "However, under the premise that the Japanese army on the Central China Front lied, people are more willing to believe the reports of the Nationalist Government. After all, there is a picture and the truth here, while the Japanese army has no basis.

    In addition, in Japanese reports, Li Guoyao and his 7th Division are also the absolute protagonists. Apart from this unit, the "Asahi Shimbun" did not report the designations of other Chinese armies.

    However, in the report of "Asahi Shimbun", Li Guoyao and the Jiu Qi Division were both completely blackened villains. Li Guoyao himself was a vicious and treacherous man, a murderous demon who did not blink an eye. It was he who ordered the 5,000 or 6,000 wounded people in Chu County to be killed.  All executed.

    The image of the 7th Division is the same. According to Japanese reports, the 7th Division is the same as the Sixth Division in the eyes of the Chinese. It is a beast army that only knows how to kill. They kill for the sake of killing and are cold-blooded.  war machine.

    Although it is difficult for the Chinese to understand how the Japanese can use the perspective of an invader to discredit an army that defends the homeland and say so confidently, it does not prevent the Chinese from seeing the essence through the phenomenon.

    According to Japanese reports, the Chinese can basically confirm that the Bengbu victory was real, and the water content did not seem to be large. The troops led by the legendary general Li Guoyao really created a miracle in military history once again.

    It can be said that after the "Asahi Shimbun" made such a move, the Japanese Army's Central China Front's war of words in recent days was in vain. Not only was it embarrassing, but it was also slapped in the face by its own people.

    For the Central China Front Army, the "Asahi Shimbun" was a shit stick and a pig teammate. General Yan Jun was so angry that he overturned the table in the headquarters, but it was too late to say anything.

    With the help of the Asahi Shimbun, the Chinese and people in other countries knew that China had won the battle in Bengbu. For a time, the reputation of Li Guoyao and the Seventh Division skyrocketed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
