When Qian Shen went to the regiment battalions to arrange specific combat tasks, officers at all levels of the Independent 100 Brigade, including the most warlike Wen Songyuan, all agreed with this plan to "transfer" the enemy to friendly forces. Even Zheng Zhong and others who had a deep hatred for the Japanese 16th Division rushed out of Nanjing City without objection.

The reason why Qian Shen was able to unify the ideological understanding of all officers in the brigade in such a short time is naturally not because Qian Shen's prestige in this army has reached a point of being full of words.

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. The troops of the 100 Independent Brigade could no longer attack on the front line. Before Qian Shen arrived, the front line units had actually spontaneously stopped large-scale attacks, and the units and the surrounded Japanese army entered a confrontation state where they mainly used cold guns and cold cannons to kill the other side.

Qian Shen took advantage of this battle and quickly touched the losses of the troops in each unit.

Qian Shen is a very pragmatic person. He originally wanted to show Cheng Jiaji the casualties of the troops so that the head of the Independent 100 Brigade could be aware of the battle below. But as soon as he started counting, he found that this job could not be done in one or two hours. So Qian Shen, like Gao Shiying after the Battle of Dawangzhuang, simply counted just a brief summary of how many soldiers there could be fought on the front line of the Independent 100 Brigade on the front line of Luoli. Facts have proved that this statistical method is more efficient than the normal method after a unit's casualties exceeds 30%. However, I believe that no chief officer of a unit would like to use this method to calculate the casualties of his own troops.

When Qian Shen sorted the general situation into a simple comparison table and placed it on the highest commander of the Independent One Hundred Brigade who had just ended a profound self-reflection, Cheng Jiaji could hardly believe his eyes.

"Brother Wei Li, now there are only 2,400 people who can fight in the various regiments and battalions on the front line? Is this number wrong?"

Although he knew that Qian Shen would never make such a mistake with his ability to do things, Cheng Jiaji would rather believe that the deputy chief of staff, who had always been rigorous and responsible, had negligence once in a lifetime, than that he believed that his 1,400 independent brigade had completely lost his combat effectiveness in about two hours. You must know that when the war started, there were more than 3,800 infantry troops he had invested in this battle! This kind of casualties was a little too fast!

"These people who have lost their combat effectiveness because of the battle, and some have withdrawn from the battle because of other reasons. Now there are only so many people on the line of fire, including many minor wounded people."

Qian Shen's answer is still so organized.

Cheng Jiaji knew that the other reason Qian Shen said was nothing more than the officers and soldiers who were shaken in battle and executed by his temporary supervision team, or deserters who fled during the battle, and even those spies who infiltrated the 100 independent brigade to friendly forces.

"Please join Liu Yicheng to command the engineering battalion, communication company and guard company to join the battle, and order these troops to meet with Liu's troops within 20 minutes. At the same time, order the battalion of the 200th regiment stationed in Xiezhuang to force the army to approach Luoli, and ask someone to send orders to Jiang Feng, and ask him to take the cavalry battalion to return to me to reconnaissance immediately along the east bank of Xiaoba River, so that even if he ran away all his horses to death, he could not let go of every move of the other side. Brother Weili, the arrangements I adjusted above, wait for you to supervise them in person, and you must implement them all one by one."

Cheng Jiaji knew that this was not the time to bother these things, so he could only do his best to increase some troops to the front. Although the engineer battalion and the communication company were not professional combat troops, as long as there was one more person on the line of fire, the battle plan would be more important. As for the battalion in Xiezhuang, the 100 Independent Brigade on the east bank of the Xiaoban River, there was only an infantry battalion without combat power. Until the last moment, he didn't want to draw the front Luoli to come. You should know that this seven or eight miles wide river defense position on the front of Xiezhuang was actually abandoned. But now the troops in the front Luoli were so exhausted that he could only demolish the east wall and repair the west wall. In this way, Cheng Jiaji could only place hopes on the guys in the cavalry battalion that could detect the Japanese crossing the river in time.

"Brother Weili, the one you have made" "send-off" plan to start."

"The time is set to be forty minutes later. If my judgment is not wrong, when we drove the Japanese army through the former Luoli, the Independent 112th Brigade and the 56th Division should have crossed the Daihe River five miles away, and they could just run head-on with the Japanese army. In this way, they forced the Independent 112th Brigade and the 56th Division to fight against the Japanese army. I would not dare to take a step back when the Japanese army was in the front and Daihe River behind. If they retreated, the division and brigade would collapse on the side of the Daihe River on the spot. I don't think they would be so stupid that they were not clear about this.

To be honest, as long as these two troops fight hard, there is no reason to stop the Japanese troops from 6,700 people and cavalry. When the two sides fight, we will not be able to stop a thousand Japanese troops from fighting. In fact, we will leave a battalion to assist in the war. In fact, we will mainly monitor the movements of the Japanese army. Other troops can consolidate river defense. If we are far away, we can also "contain" some small troops that have been disbanded by these two troops and will first be pulled to the top of the river defense." Qian Shen is not a broad-minded person. For the calculations of the brigade commanders of the local military divisions and divisions on the Independent 100 Brigade, if he has the chance, he will still want to ask for more compensation.

Hearing Qian Shen’s wishful thinking, Cheng Jiaji, who was in a better mood just now, couldn’t help but shout in his heart, “You are so poisonous! You are so poisonous!”

Now he looked at Qian Shen, the "lame-legged poisonous wolf" (the nickname was given to Qian Shen when Wen Songyuan was in Huangzhuang.) The more he felt that this person was so much like Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe in the Three Kingdoms, with deep scheming and cruel tricks.

Anyone who gets into trouble with Qian Shen will have to take off even if he is dead. This top student in the Staff Department of the German Military Academy, whom Wen Songyuan picked up from the hospital for the wounded, is still an extraordinary figure.

Although Cheng Jiaji was at this time in a conflicting mood of fear and love for Qian Shen's scheming, Yan did not mean that he would sympathize with Liu Tianlong and Hu Junquan, the commander of the 56th Division, who seemed to be destined to let Qian Shen cheat the last time. In Cheng Jiaji's opinion, these two bastards who had bad intentions about themselves and the Independent One Hundred Travelers from the beginning deserved it this time, and they should have made them suffer. Besides, if it was not because of insufficient troops, he would not be willing to give these Japanese troops, whose combat power had been greatly damaged to the death. Speaking of which, Cheng Jiaji felt that he was still losing money.

"Brother Weili, since you are so thorough, I will trouble you this time. At that time, I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy and let all the attacking troops obey your order."

Cheng Jiaji did not intend to pay attention to how Qian Shen's "sending off guests" plan was implemented in detail, and then he refused to interfere. He simply threw all the matter to Qian Shen.

He himself could take this opportunity to observe Qian Shen's ability to command actual combat. If it weren't for the big deal that he would take over the baton, but Cheng Jiaji thought this possibility was slim.

Judging from the talent and style of Qian Shen's training during this period, Cheng Jiaji had long concluded that this person must have served as the commander of the combat troops. If that guy Xie Hong had not been squatting in Shangluo Mountain and busy assisting and guiding Xia Weimin's troops in how to better plant and acquire opium, it would be great to ask about this matter. Cheng Jiaji believed that he could have found out the details of Qian Shen long ago. He thought that Xie Hong was Chairman Han's confidant aide back then, so he would not be unclear about Qian Shen's background. Cheng Jiaji was becoming more and more interested in Qian Shen's past. He had a intuition that Qian Shen would never be an unknown person before. If he could find out everything about this person, he might be able to use this person forever. He didn't want this person to be really a Jia Wenhe who traveled among the princes.

Not to mention Cheng Jiaji's heart, he beats these little ones.

Qian Shen from the other side received the order from Cheng Jiaji and went to exercise his power as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy.

Half an hour later, Liu Yicheng's troops concentrated about 2,100 troops from five and a half battalions, and launched a squeeze attack from three sides to the Japanese army on the plains under the cover of artillery fire.

In previous battles, the Independent 100 Brigade, as the side that still had a certain advantage in the battle, struggled so hard.

The situation of the Japanese army, who were at a disadvantage in the battlefield in the encirclement, was even worse.

The Japanese army was the worst beaten in the depression. There were less than 400 people who were beaten to take a breath. These included about 30% of the seriously injured who could not move or receive timely treatment. At the bottom of the depression where the Japanese army was present, there were Japanese soldiers who were wailing everywhere. The blood flowed from the Japanese soldiers dyed a small swamp here dark red. The Japanese army had destroyed all the military flags, and even the signal flags of the messengers burned. The Japanese army, who were not injured, could not bear the severe pain of the wound, and they committed suicide by swallowing guns. The Japanese army in the depression was shrouded in a madness before the end of the day.

Although the Japanese army on the flat ground still had eight or nine hundred people who could fight, and the battlefield situation was stronger than that of the Japanese army in the depression, they were only struggling with scars under the siege of the Chinese army.

It is unlikely that the two thousand troops under Liu Yicheng would eat the Japanese army commanded by Ichizaka Oyamaji, deputy captain of the 38th Japanese Regiment, was the only one who could eat the Japanese army, but under the cover of artillery fire, the Chinese army relied on the large crowds to drive these Japanese soldiers out of the plains and into the depression.

Not only is Oyamaji Ichizusa not a fool, he is also the most promising young officer recognized by the 16th Division.

When he realized that the Chinese army wanted to drive his troops into the depression, the first thing he thought of was that the Chinese army wanted to surround the two "Imperial Army" troops in the depression to solve the problem together. (After the fierce battle in the preceding period, Oyama-ji Ichiakasa had to admit a fact that if the main force of the brigade could not come up in time, it would be only a matter of time before the Japanese army on the east coast would be wiped out or completely defeated.)

According to common sense in military science, it is best not to go where the enemy wants to go unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, Oyamaji Ichizuka had his own reasons. In the depression, he had his beloved commander, who had always loved him to promote his corps leader, Colonel Kawashishi, and hundreds of soldiers from the 38th Regiment. All this made him dare not ignore it. Otherwise, when the battle started, he could only send two squadrons to pretend. Other Japanese troops only needed to keep a close eye on the ferry crossing so that the main force of the brigade on the other side could continuously reinforce. As for whether the corps leader and the first brigade would die, it would be fine to leave it to Amaterasu's "God" to decide.

If Saruo Nakayama really did that, the battle situation would be different.

In order not to leave behind the commander of the regiment who was seriously injured and unconscious, all the officers and soldiers of the First Battalion, knowing that the Chinese army was thinking of rushing to the depression, Nakasa Oyama decided to order the troops to attack the depression with all their might.

Another important reason why Oyama Temple dared to move upwards even though he knew there was a tiger in the mountain. He believed that with the more than a thousand combat power of the two troops, he would definitely break out of the depression with the more than a thousand combat power after the two troops met.

After breaking through, Nakasa Oyama planned to lead his troops to attack Rori forward, occupy Rori and hold on to wait for dawn. (As soon as the sky dawns, the Japanese air force can provide close air support to the Japanese army on the east coast.)

If the predestined Mena of Rori before the occupation cannot be achieved, even if he squats down and defends the enemy in other places nearby, the terrain that can occupy will be much more favorable than the current terrain of the Japanese army.

If you really can't stand your feet, you will swim and fight. When the main force of the brigade forces is covered by the air force tomorrow, you will attack from behind the Chinese army to help the main force of the brigade cross the river.

Under the Chinese army's offensive without any casualties (especially the artillery fire of the Chinese army is the most "abnormal".) Oyama-de-ichichi did not think that his troops could support the ground unless they immediately launched a suicide counterattack without any casualties. But if that were the case, Oyama could almost certainly disappear from the sequence of the imperial army quickly. The extremely fierce artillery fire of this Chinese army would smash the "warriors" of the empire one by one.

Under the "release" of the first battalion of the supplementary regiment of the 100th Independent Brigade, the Japanese army commanded by Nakasa Oyama slowly entered the depression under the restrained squeeze of various units of the Chinese army, and the two sides "cooperated and tacitly" completed this happy start.

But war is not politics or anything else, and there has never been a win-win result. (It often happens that both sides are disabled and lose money.)

This situation will occur on the battlefield. It can only be because both sides of the war have their own plans that they will cooperate in a coincidence.

Next, we will see what trick the "lame-legged poisonous wolf" used to drive these Japanese into Liu Tianlong and Hu Junquan's arms.
