On the afternoon of the 10th of August, the 108th Division arrived at Nanzhang County.
The news of the 108th division returning to Nanzhang County was like a storm, instantly sweeping through the entire county.
In a short while, thousands of residents of the county town walked out of their homes and gathered on the streets, looking at the high-spirited Iron Mighty Army.
"There are so many injured soldiers. Where did Division Commander Li lead his troops to fight?”
"Don't think too much about it. The 108th Division must have fought with the Japanese soldiers again. I wonder which Japanese army they fought this time!”
"In the entire Xiang City area, the devil troops are all gathered in Xiang City. The 108th division should have fought with the 101st division!”
"Impossible, the 101st Regiment is a B-grade Regiment, with a total of nearly 20,000 people.”
On both sides of the street, the residents were discussing. They were all guessing that the 108th Division had started fighting with the Japanese army!
At this moment, Li Yong, who was riding a tall horse and wearing a colonel's uniform, walked at the front of the marching team. He looked at the crowd around him and shouted,"Everyone, yesterday, our 108th Division had a fight with the 217th Brigade of the Japanese Army. After a day of tough fighting, our 108th Division completely wiped out the 217th Brigade with lightning speed. In this battle, we killed a total of 7565 Japanese soldiers.”
Whoosh!
When these words were said, the surroundings were in an uproar. Everyone felt that it was unbelievable and thought that it was a fantasy.
What did they hear?
Li Yong, the regiment commander of the 108th Division, said that they had wiped out a Japanese Squadron and killed a total of 7565 Japanese soldiers. Even the major general of the 217th Brigade, Yamamoto Yoshiki, was killed!
As for the 217th Brigade, the people of Nanzhang County naturally knew that it was the Japanese army.
The 217th Brigade was one of the two major exploration teams under the 101st Division of the Japanese Army. It was a fully fledged Japanese Army B-type exploration team. Its combat strength was very strong and it had many terrifying achievements.
However, such a full exploration team had been wiped out by the 108th Division.
This news was too shocking!
Even though they couldn't believe this news, the Nanzhang County people gathered around the streets could accept it.
Previously, Li Yan had easily destroyed the Kawasaki Brigade. Now, he had destroyed another exploration team. This was understandable!
After all, in the eyes of the people of Nanzhang County, Li Yan was a god who had descended to the mortal world. He had the ability to strategize and win a thousand miles!
"Regiment Commander Li, did the 108th Division really wipe out the 217th Brigade?”A man in his forties from Nanzhang County shouted.
"Regiment Commander Li, can you tell us how you destroyed the 217th Brigade?”Another person asked anxiously, his expression filled with curiosity.
" Cough, cough…" Li Yong coughed and moistened his throat."This is all thanks to Master. Under Master's command, a mere 217th Brigade is nothing to worry about. Dear fellow villagers, the teacher also said that it won't be long before our 108th division will attack Xiang City and recover the entire Xiang area!”
"What is it? Division Commander Li still wants to attack Xiang City?" On both sides of the street, everyone was stunned. This was too fierce!
As more and more soldiers entered the city, everyone in Nanzhang County believed that the 108th Division had really wiped out the 217th Brigade.
This was because they saw the Japanese motorcycles, trucks, and even a tank captured by the 108th Division in the middle and rear of the entire team. In addition, there were also a lot of food and supplies.
These things formed a long dragon, at least one to two thousand meters long. It was very shocking.
…………………
A few hours later, all the soldiers of the 108th division returned to the encampment.
Soon, the cooks of the 108th Division immediately set up a large iron pot and began to slaughter pigs and sheep to prepare a rich meal.
At this moment, in the command center of the encampment, Li Yan was holding a post-war meeting. He sat in the main seat with a cup of steaming hot tea in front of him.
On the left and right, the 4 regiment commanders and 12 battalion commanders were sitting neatly and looking straight ahead!
After a while, Li Yan said slowly," Although we wiped out the 217th Brigade in this battle and achieved a brilliant result, there are still many problems in the various regiments, battalions, and companies.”
"In the entire battle, we have lost 315 people, 285 heavily injured, and 356 lightly injured.”
"As I said before, you must strictly require the soldiers under your command to undergo strict military skills training. Train more during normal times and bleed less during wartime. Don't you understand this principle?”
"Master, the reason why there are so many casualties in this battle is because more than half of our soldiers are new recruits.”Li Yong opened his mouth to explain, explaining the problem.
Then, Zhao Sihai said carefully,"Master, although our casualties are a little high, this is already very perfect compared to our battle results!”
Obviously, from the perspective of the entire 108th division, although the number of casualties was close to 1,000, the 108th division had killed a total of 7565 Japanese soldiers!
In the entire Huaxia, other than the 108th division, which other division could achieve such a glorious result?
"According to my estimation, the Japanese army should be quiet for the next period of time. Therefore, during this period of time, you have to increase the intensity of your training. The 108th Division has to be completely integrated!”Li Yan changed the topic and stopped talking about the casualties.
He knew that the 108th Division was already very good to be able to achieve such a result!
"Understood, Master!" The 4 regiment commanders and 12 battalion commanders replied in unison.
Hearing this, Li Yan nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at the communications officer standing not far away and said,"Send a message to the 9th Battle Area immediately and report our results. At the same time, inform Commander Chen Cheng of the 9th Battle Area that if the troops of the 9th Battle Area need it, I can provide them with advanced weapons and equipment. Of course, the premise is that they have to pay for it!”
"Yes, Master!" The communications officer saluted and quickly turned to leave to deliver the telegram.
"Master, we've won such a big battle. The national team can't possibly not show any gratitude, right?”Ma Kui said with a smile.
"That goes without saying. Perhaps in two days, Master will be promoted to General!”Zheng Sanlin also smiled.
Needless to say, the 108th Division had wiped out the 217th Brigade. Such a record was enough to shock the national team. The 108th Division might really be promoted from a division to an army!
"What's the use of verbal commendation and expansion? The actual reward is what I want to see!”Li Yan said with a smile.
Even if the national team upgraded the 108th Division to the 108th Division, it would be useless. It would be better to have more soldiers and money!
