    Before Ma Desheng finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the conference room.

    Although everyone knows that the army won the battle this time, after all, each battlefield is separate. All everyone knows is some road news and does not know the overall result.

    Now hearing what Ma Desheng said, everyone was extremely horrified. They never expected that more than 13,000 enemies were wiped out in this battle.

    Although the more than 13,000 were just their estimate, and they also included the wounded of the Japanese and puppet troops, they could not be considered an absolute loss for the little Japanese.

    But everyone knows that the commander is not the kind of person who enjoys great achievements, especially after the unit is upgraded to the army. The results of the unit's operations are often reported to the superiors without any water. One is one, two is two, and it is never mixed like other troops.  .

    If this is the case for higher-level departments, there is no need to deceive your own brothers!

    Thinking about the fact that the army was demobilized some time ago and the remnants were thrown to Shandong to fight guerrillas, everyone felt very depressed. However, in less than a few months, the army rose strongly under the command of the commander and is now able to compete with the little devils.  The field divisions faced each other head-on and were able to win. Everyone was in an extremely excited mood!

    At this time, Li Guoyao said calmly: "Old Ma, don't report the good news or the bad news, talk about the losses, and let everyone know how much they have!"

    Ma Desheng nodded, took out a casualty statistics table, looked at it, and said: "Brothers, the results of the battle are brilliant and the achievements are obvious to all, but our casualties are also heavy. In fact, I don't say that everyone should feel it,  There are a lot fewer people at the headquarters this time, and the few people who are missing are either in the field hospital or have disappeared."

    Then Ma Desheng continued: "In this battle, our Shandong Guerrilla Corps suffered more than 6,000 casualties, including 2,412 casualties, 2,212 serious injuries, and 1,845 minor injuries. The casualty rate reached 38%, and these casualties were absolutely  Most of them are our regular regiments. Although the casualty ratio between the enemy and ourselves is about 2:1, our army does have an absolute advantage in this regard."

    "However, due to the crazy destruction of the Japs, the people in the area have suffered heavy losses. According to incomplete statistics, a total of 113 villages have been looted and massacred by the Japs. More than 6,000 people have been massacred, and tens of thousands of houses have been burned down. More  What¡¯s most serious is that a large number of fields have missed the farming season due to the continuous war, which will inevitably have a huge impact on this year¡¯s food production. If nothing goes wrong, there will be a serious famine in the Xiong¡¯er Mountains this year!¡±

    When everyone heard this, they immediately took a breath of cold air!

    ??If we want to say what natural disaster people in this era are most afraid of, it is undoubtedly famine!

    In the eyes of many people, famine is more like a legend that happened in an era long away from us.

    But in fact it happened not so long ago a few decades ago, but our living standards have become better now, and people have forgotten these things. Furthermore, we have not experienced that era, but ours  My grandparents must have experienced it, and they must have mentioned those difficult days.

    Before major breakthroughs in agricultural production technology, especially before the large-scale promotion of hybrid rice and other excellent crops, famine almost never stopped.

    For any country or any nation, famine is a very serious matter, because it means that thousands of people are displaced and countless people starve to death.  It is conceivable that people are so hungry that they cannot lift their pants, they are so hungry that they will eat anything from tree bark, and people who are really hungry and desperate will eat people. These are scenes that we can hardly imagine.

    For example, the Great Famine in Henan occurred from July 1942 to the spring of 1943. The famine was caused by a severe drought, followed by a locust plague. Coupled with the policy mistakes at the time and the concealment of subordinates, etc.,  Eventually it led to the Great Famine.

    During this famine, 1.5 million people lost their lives, and 3 million people migrated from Henan.

    If you think about it carefully, you will understand how terrible the famine is. Take the Wuhan Battle, the largest confrontation between China and Japan since the Anti-Japanese War. Both sides invested more than 1.5 million troops. However, after the war, the total casualties of both sides were no more than 1.5 million.  Two hundred thousand.

    ??And this includes all deaths and injuries, and it is the total number of casualties in the two countries.  Let¡¯s look at the duration of this battle. It lasted from June to November, which lasted for more than five months.

    ¡°Looking at the Great Famine in Henan, it only lasted six or seven months. More than 1.5 million people died of starvation, which was about eight times the total number of casualties in the Battle of Wuhan.

    Don¡¯t forget, these are just people who starve to death, not counting those who have left their homes to seek a living.How many people will die after traveling thousands of miles, and how many of the three million people who migrated out of Henan will be lucky enough to survive?

    At present, because the people in the Xiong'er Mountain Area have missed the best time for farming, the yield of replanted grain is not high, and it may not be mature yet. Once famine occurs, the consequences will be disastrous!

    Li Guoyao said immediately: "This matter will be resolved slowly. Let's talk about the current matters first. Lao Ma, you continue!"

    Ma Desheng nodded and continued: "At the same time, our weapons and equipment losses are also very serious. After this battle, we have a total of more than 200 light and heavy machine guns that were blown up or damaged by our own use, 4231 rifles, and various  33 artillery pieces. Although we captured some Japanese-made weapons, it was not enough to make up for the losses of our unit."

    Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "The loss of weapons and equipment is not the most serious problem. What worries me most is the loss of our ammunition. After this battle, we consumed a total of more than 7 million rounds of ammunition and more than 8,000 rounds of artillery shells. Basically,  All the wealth accumulated in the past has been wiped out. More importantly, judging from the current results, our army will consume at least 500 rounds of ammunition if we want to eliminate a little devil."

    "Yesterday I went back to the arsenal on the mountain and took a look. I found that there were only more than one million rounds of bullets left in the entire arsenal. You must know that our army now has more than 10,000 rifles and more than 300 light and heavy machine guns.  That is to say, excluding the existing stocks of your brigades, the ammunition stored in the headquarters can only sustain the brothers for three to five days of fighting. In other words, if we cannot effectively solve the problem of ammunition replenishment, our guerrilla corps will be  But we can¡¯t afford such a war.¡±

    Hearing Li Guoyao¡¯s words, everyone was surprised again!

    They all ran out of ammunition and immediately applied to the headquarters for supplies, but they never thought about where the ammunition from the headquarters came from, how much the inventory was, and how long they could last.

    Especially when everyone knew that they had to consume so many 500 rounds of bullets to kill each Japanese soldier, everyone subconsciously frowned!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
