"Is there any news from Regiment 357?"
Hearing this news, Chen Changfeng immediately put down the telegram from Regiment 358.
Then, he took the telegram from Regiment 357 and read it carefully.
"Kill the captain of Sakata United?"
"Capture the flag of the alliance?"
"Break through the encirclement of the Sakata United Team?”
Chen Changfeng's jaw dropped in disbelief.
Soon, Chen Changfeng calmed down.
He did not believe the contents of the telegram.
At this time, the troops under Chang Shenkai would often exaggerate when they reported the results.
Killing more than a dozen devils was equivalent to killing hundreds of devils.
Moreover, this phenomenon had been repeatedly banned.
Therefore, when they saw their subordinates reporting the results of the battle, they would subconsciously deduct a portion of the truth.
However, killing Nobutetsu Sakata, the leader of the Sakata United Team, and seizing the team flag was not fake.
"Could it be true?"
Chen Changfeng could not help but get excited.
Ever since the Battle of Xinkou, the Jinsui Army had been forced to retreat and had not achieved any decent results.
Not to mention the Jinsui Army, the entire country was also losing ground. If this battle report was true?
Chen Changfeng's mind could not help but become active.
It was only then that he remembered that Regiment 358 also had a telegram. He immediately picked up Regiment 358's telegram and read it carefully.
"... The 357th Regiment bombarded the command center of the Sakata United Army, destroyed the command system of the Sakata United Army, killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers, and broke through the encirclement of the Sakata United Army..."
In the entire telegram, there was no mention of the 8th Route Army.
Chu Yunfei was a smart person. He knew that there was a problem with his artillery support for the 357th Regiment, so he only mentioned the 357th Regiment and did not mention the 8th Route.
Looking at the telegram from Regiment 358, Chen Changfeng immediately walked to the map behind him and looked at it carefully.
The 358th Regiment's encampment wasn't far from the Gray Cloud Ridge, so they could observe the battle situation at the main position of the Gray Cloud Ridge.
Chen Changfeng could not help but get excited.
It seemed that this news might be true.
The 357th Regiment really killed the captain of the Japanese's Sakata United Team and defeated them!
That was Sakata United.
The trump card of the Japanese.
During the Battle of Xinkou, a regiment had defeated two of Chang Shenkai's divisions.
When Lu Ye fought with the 358th Regiment, 358th Regiment lost more than 300 people in an hour. If it wasn't for the fact that the 358th Regiment retreated quickly, they would probably have been eaten by the Sakata United Team.
He had originally received a telegram stating that the 357th Regiment had been surrounded by the Sakata United Army and thought that it was a disaster. He did not expect to be given such a big surprise.
"Report, 357th Regiment's battle telegram!”
Yu Zhiqian's second telegram was sent to the division headquarters.
The first telegram was a report of the battle results.
The second telegram was a detailed account of the battle.
Looking at the contents of the telegram, Chen Changfeng sighed.
As expected, Sakata United was not easy to deal with.
After the 357th Regiment was surrounded by the Sakata United Army, the entire regiment was left with only one company.
After eliminating the main force of the 357th Regiment, the Sakata United Army immediately surrounded the new regiment of Route 8.
The remaining company of the 357th Regiment took advantage of this opportunity to take out the command center of the Sakata United Army.
At this time, Chen Changfeng had already forgotten about Yu Zhiqian and the 8-way alliance.
Regardless of whether they were on the 8th or not, the credit for killing Nobutetsu Sakata had truly fallen on the head of the 357th Regiment. This was the main force under his command, so he definitely had a share of the credit.
"Immediately report the victory to Officer Yan and Shancheng! In the battle of the Gray Cloud Ridge, the 357th Regiment of the 65th Division killed the commander of the Japanese Sakata United Team, Sakata Nobutetsu. They seized a flag of the Japanese team and killed more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers of the Sakata United Team!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Oh right, don't forget to ask for the 358th Regiment's credit too. 358th Regiment's Chu Yunfei decisively bombarded the encirclement of the Sakata Regiment and successfully covered the retreat of the 357th Regiment's 1st Battalion!”
"Yes, sir!"
"Also, order Yu Zhiqian to quickly come to the division headquarters and hand over the alliance flags.”
"Yes, sir!"
Telegrams were sent out from the 65th Division in Shuiquan.
When Yan Laoxi saw the telegram, he immediately slapped the table excitedly and laughed.
They had finally made a comeback, and they did not hesitate to reward the 65th division!
Chang Shenkai from Shancheng looked at the telegram and his first reaction was to wonder what the flag of the regiment was.
When they learned about the function of the flag, they immediately ordered the 65th Division to send the captured flag to Shancheng.
At the same time, the 65th Division was rewarded, and their commander, Chen Changfeng, was promoted to lieutenant general.
Yu Zhiqian was promoted three ranks from first lieutenant to lieutenant colonel. He was also appointed as the acting commander of the 357th Regiment and was awarded the fourth-class Cloud Flag Medal.
As for the other participant in this battle, Li Yunlong was directly ignored.
Even when the newspaper published the results of the battle, there was no mention of it.
As for Li Yunlong, he was transferred to the clothing factory as the factory manager because of his disobedience on the battlefield.
