Before the battle, the 98th Brigade had four regiments and a cavalry regiment to support them. After the battle, the casualties were really heavy.
They lost one fighter jet, one bomber, four Little Bean tanks in the middle line, and five in the north line. They had 13600 pre-war personnel, and 5333 post-war casualties. Nearly half of them were gone.
The three battalions of the 645th Regiment of the Japanese Cavalry were all at the northern front on the first day. They attacked in a roundabout manner, causing 300 casualties and retreating.
The next morning, two large cavalrymen were sent to the middle line to provide support, and two cavalrymen squadrons were left on the north line. After the afternoon battle, there were only two small teams left, and one small team was left for the night battle.
The two cavalrymen from the middle line rushed over to provide support in the afternoon the next day. After resting, they circled around at night. The two cavalrymen divided into two directions to attack. The north side was attacked by snipers, leaving 800 people. Then, they fought a bloody battle with the cavalrymen battalion, leaving 100 people. The southern side was blocked by Wang Yuanliang's sniper battalion, and the 400 cavalrymen fled back.
On the morning of the third day, they rested at the middle line and merged with the 387th cavalry squadron to form a large group. They went to the north to support the battle. There was another cavalry battle, and there were only 300 or so people left. Adding on the original cavalry squad, a cavalry regiment only had 400 people left. They retreated on the night of the third day.
On the first day, the 388th regiment in the north attacked twice and lost 500 people. On the second night, they were attacked by snipers of the 8th Route Army's 2nd regiment, and lost more than 500 people. On the third day, they were attacked by artillery and 300 people. On the third day, they directly retreated. The 3800-man team only had 2500 people left. This was already considered very good.
The 389th regiment in the middle line had two rounds of attack on the first day and lost 500 men. Half of the cavalry squadron had returned from the roundabout attack and was attacked at night, losing 278 Japanese soldiers. The next morning, they were teased by the cavalry battalion and lost more than 50 people. In the afternoon, they attacked, losing 300 people. In the evening, they attacked the independent regiment and lost 50 people.
On the third day, the scouts battled the snipers. More than 175 scouts were killed in the battle. Then, the artillery bombarded the ground. In the afternoon, they quietly retreated. Out of 3800 people, only 2267 were left.
The 387th Regiment did not participate in the attack. They did not have the courage. Only half of the cavalry squadron had died. On the last day, the scouts fought against the sniper battalion, resulting in 200 casualties. 3000 before the war and 2700 after the war.
The new 1st and 2nd regiments of the Eighth Route Army's northern defense line combined to calculate the losses. On the first day, they blocked the enemy twice and lost 216 people, blocking 34 enemy cavalry.
The next afternoon, the cavalry suffered 300 casualties, and the night snipers suffered 30 casualties.
On the third day, they exchanged artillery fire with more than 50 people. Another cavalry battle lost 700 people, and the bomber bombing lost 200 people. The devils retreated at night.
Before the battle, the two regiments had a total of 5500 people. They had lost 1530 people, leaving 3970 people.
The independent regiment in the middle defense line had lost 60 people in the first day of defensive positions, 136 people in the mountain snipers, and 50 people in the night snipers.
The next morning, the cavalry unit harassed 20 casualties. In the afternoon, the devils attacked, causing 40 casualties.
At night, 40 snipers and 580 cavalrymen were killed in the north. To the south, Wang Yuanliang and the sniper battalion had lost 179 people.
The middle lane was attacked by poison gas bombs at night. 268 scouts and soldiers who stayed behind were killed, and 162 were killed.
On the morning of the third day, 60 snipers were killed. In the afternoon, the Japanese retreated. There were 5500 people before the battle, and 1595 were killed, leaving 3905 soldiers.
Wang Yuanliang's Sniper Battalion had 821 people before the battle, 289 of whom were killed in the battle. There were also other trained snipers that were not counted, leaving 532 people.
The Eighth Route Army lost a total of 3125 people. Compared to the Japanese's 5333 casualties, this time, it was mainly thanks to the snipers trained by Wang Yuanliang. Otherwise, it would be almost impossible to complete such a loss ratio.
In this battle, the ones who suffered the greatest losses were naturally the cavalry. Both sides had almost no cavalry left. As soldiers that could move at high speed, they naturally had to restrict each other.
The Shansi Cavalry had a huge advantage. Their mobile forces were mainly relying on the Cavalry. There were too few cars, so it was slightly slow to transport troops. Only the Cavalry could sneak up on the battlefield, so both sides had to fight. The remaining infantry battle was very stable, and there would not be much fluctuation.
Only Wang Yuanliang's sniper battalion and trained sniper soldiers were really hard to guard against. As long as the Japanese were slightly relaxed, it would be 1: With a battle damage ratio of 5, they definitely wouldn't be able to win if they continued fighting like this. If they retreated a little slower, nearly half of them would be gone. If they retreated any later, there wouldn't be anything left.
After the war, the 98th Brigade had shrunk their forces from more than 60 strongholds to 25 strongholds. Some of the smaller strongholds were abandoned to guard against the 8th Route Army's sneak attack.
As for the other devils, although they didn't suffer as many casualties, they still suffered quite a lot.
Before the war, there were 136,000 soldiers in the First Army of the Japanese. After the addition of a division, there were 161,000 soldiers. Other than the two divisions of the 50,000 Japanese Army in the south who did not participate in the sweep, they fought fiercely with the 150,000 Eighth Route Army, causing more than 32,000 casualties, leaving more than 129,000 people. The 8th Route Army had lost more than 45,000 men, leaving only 105,000 men.
The two sides immediately adjusted their strategies. The devils 'strategy shrank, and many of the Eighth Route Army's territories were connected, ready to wait for an opportunity to recover the county. The national army did not participate in this war, and the fake military and police ignored it.
After the war, the iron triangle naturally gathered together. There were not many gains from this war, and there were not many resources accumulated before. The surrounding Japanese strongholds were almost gone. If they wanted to attack the transport team, they had to think of another way.
Moreover, the sniper's strength had been tested in this battle, which naturally made the three old comrades full of confidence.
Yang Village Station, Independent Regiment Brigade Headquarters, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Wang Yuanliang, and the other four. In the past two months, Wang Yuanliang had contributed too much. He had trained many snipers, allowing the other two regiments to taste the sweetness. In this battle, other than the outstanding achievements of the cavalry, it was also the sniper's meritorious service.
Wang Yuanliang could finally show some face and let Ding Wei and Kong Jie take him seriously.
After chatting and joking for a while, the four of them began to discuss the post-war plans. There was no other way. The three regiments had nearly 10,000 people, and the base area needed to be developed. They could not point their fingers at the poor northwest of Shanxi. There were no more Japanese strongholds around. They had to get some interest from the Japanese.
Ding Wei was the first to speak." Wang Yuanliang, you've made a lot of contributions in this war. Not only did you train many snipers, but you also made a lot of contributions by killing enemies. You're really something."”
Wang Yuanliang didn't dare to speak carelessly and could only be humble.""Regiment Commander Ding, please don't make fun of me. It's all the credit of the soldiers. I'm insignificant. I only managed to achieve some results under the command of Great Brigade Commander Li.”
Kong Jie had a straightforward temper and didn't want to listen to him. He casually said,"You're all soldiers, so you should do what you should do. Don't be so polite and give way to others. This time, you see that our casualties are not small, but the base did not suffer much damage. You have to train more snipers to consolidate our victory.”
"Please rest assured, three leaders. I promise to complete the mission. I swear to train more snipers and not let the people of the base suffer from invasion.”Wang Yuanliang patted his chest and stood up to salute the three leaders.
