Chapter 309 After the War
Fang Guoxuan was very happy after receiving the battle report from the front line and immediately sent a report of victory to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian was also very happy to receive the victory report from Fang Guoxuan, but he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the casualties: "These dwarfs are really crazy. They were divided and surrounded, but they still caused us to lose nearly 4,000 people in battle."
A total of 3711 people were killed in this battle, which was much more casualties than when fighting against the warlord troops.
"That's right. By the end of the battle, not a single dwarf locust soldier surrendered voluntarily." Tao Yunong on the side was also amazed at the dwarf locust's tenacity.
Although the Nanshan Army captured a small dwarf locust major general and a dozen soldiers, it was all a forced arrest.
After these people were caught, they refused to cooperate and even wanted to go on a hunger strike in protest.
Fang Jian didn't care about this. They were just little locusts. If possible, he wanted to destroy the entire little locust country, but the time was not right now.
"Have you found out how many of those dwarf locust reinforcements boarded the ship yesterday?"
Tao Yunong reported yesterday that a group of soldiers from the mainland of Xiaodwarf Locust had boarded a ship to reinforce the new country. However, there was no detailed data on the number of people on board and the equipment they carried.
"Please forgive me, Chairman. I still haven't found it." Tao Yunong immediately lowered his head and apologized.
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "Forget it. The advance troops of the dwarf locusts can have at most a division, or maybe not even a division."
"Have Qi Yuan's intelligence personnel keep a close eye on the reinforcements that will soon arrive from the Dwarf Locust."
"Yes, Chairman."
The reason why the Little Locust Kingdom sent out emergency reinforcements was also due to the telegram from Ito Mizufumi. After receiving the telegram, the Little Locust country attached great importance to it, discussed it overnight, and urgently dispatched troops to be transported to Qiyuan.
Mobilizing a large army is not something that can be done just by talking about it, let alone transporting troops across the ocean.
Even when marching and fighting on land, it is necessary to prepare sufficient supplies such as military uniforms, quilts, weapons and ammunition, and food.
Not to mention weapons and ammunition, even problems such as heavy rain during the march and rest at night are enough to cause headaches.
The logistics of the Nanshan Army were relatively better because they had trucks for transportation and supplies such as tarpaulins.
There are quilts to keep you warm at night, and rain sheets to protect you from the rain when it rains heavily. It’s just inconvenient to rest at night, but it’s much better than other forces.
It’s not that Francis didn’t want to prepare tents, camp beds and other items for the soldiers.
Although camp beds are convenient, if everyone prepares one, not only will the number be huge, but it will also be difficult to transport. As for tents, there were no air cushions in this era, and even if there were tents, it would not prevent rain from entering the tent.
In addition to providing protection from wind and rain, tents are best used in conjunction with camp beds, which is why they have not been widely used in the military.
Ningling County, Fang Guoxuan’s First War Zone Temporary Command Post.
Chief of Staff Li Zhongwu reported: "Commander, the results of the battle have all been compiled."
"In this battle, 13 enemies were killed and captured. 3711 of our soldiers were killed. 220-type rifles, 1796 heavy machine guns, 28 light machine guns, and pistols were seized."
“缴获75口径大炮12门，105口径大炮2门，60毫米迫击炮24门，掷弹筒288门。”
"The little locust army in King County finally detonated the shells, destroying all the cannons they were equipped with."
When he said this, Li Zhongwu couldn't help but think it was a pity.
Fang Guoxuan didn't care about this. Although the equipment of these little dwarf locusts was better than that of domestic warlords, their Nanshan Army still looked down on them.
After introducing the results of the battle, Li Zhongwu was eager to try: "Commander, are we going to attack other places in Qiyuan now?"
"If we attack now, the dwarf locust army will be unable to stop us. When they arrive at the gates of Qichang, should we stop or take the city?" Fang Guoxuan immediately waved his hand to refuse.
Fang Guoxuan would not go against Fang Jian's strategy. He also believed that placing the dwarf locust soldiers in Qiyuan was better than having to guard against them everywhere.
"The battle ends here, and the blood feud of the people of Heyuan has been avenged. As for the matter of asking the dwarf locusts to hand over Qiyuan, let those politicians argue about it. This will also put some pressure on the dwarf locusts."
In Qichang City, Qiyuan Province, at the new headquarters of the Little Locust, Ito Mifumi was sitting there with a dejected look on his face.
Seeing Qing Shui Qian Yun coming in, Ito Shifumi immediately stood up and asked, "How is it, have you contacted the division commander Tamura?"
"Baka." Qingshui Qianyun shook his head gently, leaving Ito Mifumi with nothing but curses.
Since the Tuanmura Division was surrounded, Ito Mifumi would contact it every hour to inquire about the battle situation.
Every time he received a battle report, Ito Mifumi felt heavy-hearted, because none of the news he received was good news.
Now that he had not been able to contact Tamura Koichi for several hours, Ito Mifumi had to accept the reality. Even if the Tamura Division was not destroyed, it was probably dispersed.
Ito Mifumi was unwilling to give up, so he looked up and asked again, "Any news about the Abe Brigade?"
"We haven't been able to contact the Abe Brigade since this morning." Shimizu Asakumo gave Ito Mifumi another critical hit.
"Damn it! This is an entire division. In just a few days, they were completely defeated by the enemy. Tamura and Abe are just trash."
Abe Tokiji did not dare to contact the division commander, but he kept in touch with Qi Chang.
The Nanshan Army launched an attack early this morning and all the logistics troops were pulled into the battle, so naturally they were unable to receive or send telegrams.
After venting his anger, Ito Mifumi talked about reinforcements again: "Shimizu-kun, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
"General, it will take more than ten days for the reinforcements to land at Qiyuan."
Hearing that it would take more than ten days for the vanguard troops to reach Qiyuan, Ito Mifumi was very panicked. He was also worried that the Nanshan army would suddenly arrive at the city, and everything would be over then.
Although the vanguard force only had one brigade, it had 10,000 troops, so Ito Mifumi felt that it would not be a problem to defend Qichang City.
At this moment, the communications officer rushed into Ito Mifumi's office in a hurry.
"General, this is the telegram from the Nanshan government." After saying this, the officer handed the telegram to Ito Mifumi.
After receiving the telegram and reading it, Ito Shiwen was furious and slammed it on the table: "Baga, this is too much."
"General, what did the Nanshan government telegram say?"
"You can read it yourself." Ito Mifumi pointed to the telegram on the table and motioned Qingshui Qianyun to read it himself.
The content of the telegram naturally said that the Nanshan Army captured Dingcao in order to avenge the people of Heyuan, and at the same time hoped that the dwarf locusts would withdraw from Qiyuan, otherwise the use of force to drive them away would not be ruled out.
After reading the telegram, Qingshui Qianyun was overjoyed: "General, this is good news."
"Good thing?" Ito Mifumi was very angry today and naturally couldn't think about the details, so he was very dissatisfied with Qingshui Qianyun's words.
Qingshui Qianyun didn't care about Ito Shiwen's attitude. He put down the telegram and explained: "General, since the Nanshan Army wants us to withdraw from Qiyuan on our own, it means they have no intention of continuing to use troops."
"We can definitely use this to our advantage and delay it."
"If we only bring the follow-up reinforcements, even if the Nanshan government wants to drive us away, they will have to have the strength to do so."
As long as there is no violence and politicians are allowed to haggle, it is very normal to delay the process for a few months.
