    After hearing the footsteps, everyone in the conference room subconsciously stopped talking and laughing, then straightened their backs, waiting for Li Guoyao to enter.

    With a "squeak" sound, the door to the conference room was pushed open!

    Li Guoyao started the process, followed by Xu Hu, Wang Zhanhai, Ma Desheng and Liang Yong, the head of the intelligence department, filing in!

    After sitting down in order, Li Guoyao looked around at everyone present, then showed a smile, and then said: "Very good, they are all here. I am always worried about who is missing after the first battle!"

    Sensing Li Guoyao's concern, everyone burst into laughter, but there was some bitterness in the smile.

    Just as Li Guoyao worried, this is a war era, with artillery fire every day, and no one knows whether he will be hit by a stray bullet in the next battle.

    The battlefield is full of too many uncertainties. Think about the time when we went from North China to Songjiang City. At that time, the 67th Army had more than 20,000 people. However, in the battle of Songjiang, Army Commander Wu Keren was killed in battle, and Chief of Staff Wu Tonggang was killed in battle.  , the entire 67th Army was crippled in less than three days, and not a single soldier was left alive.

    Thinking again about Nanjing City, they gathered together more than 40,000 defeated troops and their own brothers. As a result, only more than 10,000 people were evacuated from Nanjing City, and three-quarters of them were killed or injured.

    Not only ordinary soldiers died here, but also a large number of officers. Even though they are now middle- and senior-level officers at the brigade and regiment level, so what, the officers killed on the anti-Japanese battlefield were not just at the brigade and regiment level.  , there are also many people at the strategist level.

    "But being able to feel the concern of superiors during the intense battle makes everyone feel warm in their hearts.

    "Commander, although this battle is tense and dangerous, the brothers are finally back, all in one piece. Commander, please rest assured!" Zhang Tengjiao said immediately.

    "Well, just come back!"

    Speaking of this, Li Guoyao showed a trace of emotion: "People often say that the older you get, the less courageous you become. I didn't believe it before, but since the troops arrived in Shandong, I have had this feeling. I am always worried that one of you will  Something happened!"

    Xu Hu said with a smile: "That's because the commander cares too much about the brothers under his command, but there are few soldiers who are not injured!"

    "Yes, if the earthen jar is not broken far from the well mouth, the general will inevitably die in front of the battle. As long as he dies in a proper place, he is not afraid of being buried in horse leather!" Wang Zhanhai said.

    "Deputy Commander Wang's words are encouraging. Now that brothers have put on this military uniform, they won't be afraid of death!"

    "That's right, why should I be a soldier if I'm afraid of death? It's better to go home and hold my baby!"

    Sensing the arrogance of everyone, Li Guoyao nodded and said: "It seems that everyone is still thinking openly. Yes, we just need to have such fighting spirit!"

    Then Li Guoyao coughed lightly and said seriously: "Brothers, after four days and three nights of marching and fighting, we achieved a complete victory in this battle with major results. In this battle, we used almost all our armed forces to attack the Japanese invaders in North China.  The 21st Division and 32nd Division of the 12th Army of the Front Army were stationed in Xuzhou, Zaozhuang and other places launched a comprehensive attack."

    "Our army achieved significant results in this battle. Not only did it eliminate a large number of Japanese and puppet troops, it also captured Xuzhou, Yixian, Zaoyi Mining Area and other places. It captured a lot and killed countless enemies, especially the commander of the 21st Division.  Washizu Senpei and Chief of Staff Murata Sadao are even more rare. At the same time, we have successfully avenged innocent people, and everyone should be croaking for themselves."

    "good!"

    "Bah bang bang"

    After a burst of warm applause, Li Guoyao continued: "It is a great opportunity to capture Xuzhou this time. In addition to our army's unexpected tactics, we also have the strong support of the Sulu Theater Headquarters. Especially when our army attacked Xuzhou, Su  The Lu War Zone Headquarters sent troops to attack Linyi and transferred the main force of the Japanese army to the direction of Linyi, giving me a very rare opportunity."

    "Of course, the hard work of brothers is also an important guarantee for winning this battle. Without everyone's courage to fight and fight, even if there is a good opportunity, we will not be able to seize it. Thank you for your hard work!"

    "Bah bang bang"

    There was another burst of warm applause in the conference room, which lasted for a long time.

    After the applause stopped for a moment, Li Guoyao continued: "Now let me ask the Chief of Staff to brief you on the results and casualties of this battle. Everyone applauds and welcomes us!"

    ¡°Bah bang bang!!!¡±

    This time the applause was even more enthusiastic. After all, what Li Guoyao said just now was relatively general, and everyone didn't know how many enemies the troops had killed. But this time it was different. As long as Ma Desheng said the number of enemies wiped out and the number of casualties, everyone understood this in their hearts.How the battle went!

    With different expectations, the mood will naturally be different!

    Ma Desheng has always been more serious. When Li Guoyao called his name, he stood up immediately!

    "Commander, our army took over the important military town of Xuzhou in this battle, annihilated 3,266 Japanese and puppet troops, and captured 922 people, including 48 Japanese troops, and the rest were all puppet troops. Among the Japanese and puppet troops that were annihilated, including Army Lieutenant General  1 person, 5 colonels and colonels of the puppet army, and 29 officers below the rank of lieutenant colonel."

    Then, Ma Desheng continued: "In addition, the materials captured by our army in this battle were beyond imagination. There were more than 8,000 Type 38 rifles alone, more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, more than 50 artillery pieces, and 100 grenades.  There are multiple vehicles, more than 100 cars, more than 2 million rounds of bullets of various calibers, more than 10,000 artillery shells, and other materials too numerous to count."

    "Bah bang bang"

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

    After all, these not only mean military achievements, but also the meaning of this battle. As a soldier, there is probably nothing more gratifying than the results and captures.

    "What are the casualties of our army?" Li Guoyao asked immediately.

    Ma Desheng did not hesitate and said directly: "Our army's casualties in this battle were not large. There were more than 860 soldiers killed and more than 1,700 wounded. The total casualties were 2,500, which was less than one-half of the little devils.  .¡±

    Li Guoyao frowned and said: "Two thousand and five thousand, accounting for a quarter of our army's total strength, is not small!"

    Ma Desheng said: "The casualties indeed accounted for a quarter of our army's total strength, but our army rescued five to six thousand miners in the Zaoyi mining area, and brought out more than 3,000 young people from Xuzhou City who were willing to join the army.  Therefore, the current total strength of our army has not only not decreased, but has actually increased."

    Having said this, Ma Desheng added a few words: "Of course, it is only an increase in numbers, and it does not really help much with the actual combat effectiveness. But as long as they are trained, these recruits can one day become a great army.  !¡±

    "That's good, but with nearly 10,000 new people added at once, do we still have enough supplies?" Li Guoyao asked again.

    "This is exactly what I want to report to the commander next!"

    Then Ma Desheng continued: "Commander, our department's original food supply was a bit stretched. Although a lot was seized in Xuzhou City this time, there was no time to transport it back. Therefore, the logistics department reported to me last night that the food stock in the base area has been exhausted.  Running out."

    Li Guoyao frowned and said: "What is the concept of not much? Has the logistics department calculated how much food we have in stock now and how long it will be enough for the entire army to eat and drink?"

    Logistics Minister Huang Shang stood up immediately and said: "Report to the commander, there are currently more than 5,000 tons of coarse and fine grains stored in warehouses in Washan, Weishan Island and other places, which is barely enough for the troops to feed the troops for two months!"

    Li Guoyao said in a deep voice: "One load is about 120 kilograms. Five thousand loads is 600,000 kilograms. The total number of new and old veterans in our army should be 17,000. According to the quota of one kilogram per person per day, one month  At least 500,000 pounds, it won¡¯t last two months!¡±

    "Commander, one pound per person per day will definitely not last two months, but half a pound should be fine!" Huang Shang said.

    Li Guoyao shook his head and said: "How can half a catty of food be enough? If the soldiers are not fed, they will not have the strength to fight. If this continues, how can the base area be defended?"

    "Then what should we do?"

    "What can we do? Of course we need to get food!"

    "Where should I go to do it? Where are the Japanese?"

    Li Guoyao thought for a while and said: "The Japanese are now strictly guarding against us. There should be no chance for the time being. Moreover, we have already taken over Zaozhuang, Weishan, Yixian and Xuzhou. I'm afraid there won't be much oil and water left for the little Japanese.  I think we should try another partner once!"

    "Who would it be? Is there a more powerful force in Shandong than the Japanese?"

    Li Guoyao smiled slightly and said, "This really does exist!"

    "Oh, Commander, please tell me quickly, who are they that are more powerful than the Japanese?"

    Li Guoyao looked at everyone, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Taomen!"
