As Neji Okamura and Shunroku Hata fled back to Xuzhou with more than 2,000 defeated soldiers, the Battle of Ruichang officially came to an end.
In this battle, the Japanese invaders lost tens of thousands of manpower, countless weapons and ammunition, field artillery was destroyed, and only one of the thirty tanks remained.
Except for the captured armored vehicles, all other armored vehicles were destroyed on the way to escape.
The Zero fighters fell into a trap and were knocked down dozens of times by a combination of flares, smoke, and hydrogen balloons, resulting in extremely heavy losses.
What depressed Okamura Neiji the most was that two hundred indigenous tanks were captured, leading to a series of defeats.
It was too painful.
If Yue Feng hadn't used pepper bombs, it would not have been a huge defeat.
After returning, he had to release more than 6,000 prisoners, which was also a big blow to the empire.
As a general, he was captured alive and had to trade prisoners for his life.
This is a huge shame and a slap in the face of the empire.
The most depressing thing is that the telegram of Yue Feng's replacement contained only one word, "replacement".
This is a huge shame.
In Yue Feng's eyes, his life is not as good as that of a captain.
In addition to Okamura Neji being depressed, there was another person who was also feeling depressed.
This person is Principal Jiang.
Of course, his depression is based on ecstasy.
The Battle of Ruichang was a great victory, Jiujiang was recaptured, a large number of Japs were annihilated, countless captured, and Zhang Fakui's, Chen Yongshi, Han Jin's, and Tian Yuan's divisions were trained.
It was definitely a great victory.
However, what made Principal Jiang depressed was that Yue Feng had clearly captured Neji Okamura, but he actually exchanged them on the spot for a pilot and a captured soldier.
Alas, Yue Feng, Yue Feng, you really don’t know how to settle political scores.
Even if you want to exchange, can't you wait until you have used Okamura Neji to boost morale before making the exchange?
However, it has already happened, and there is no point in dwelling on it.
Principal Jiang had no choice but to record merits and rewards for Zhang Fakui, Zhong Da, Tian Yuan, Han Jin, Chen Yong and others, and he was very generous.
Many people were promoted to official positions and awarded a large sum of money.
Of course, the "Xiongqi Group" also rewards heavily, but it is mainly for reputation, and there is no need to reward money.
After all, Yue Feng is not short of money.
Of course, the clever Principal Chiang took advantage of the arrest of Okamura Neji and publicized it.
Finally, he revealed that he ordered the exchange of the captured soldiers for the sake of the captured soldiers.
As a result, morale really increased, and the soldiers were very moved.
Because Principal Jiang actually gave up Okamura Neji in order to save the prisoners.
He is a great, really great principal.
At this time, in the hidden area of the hilly defense line, it was very lively and joyful.
There are many tanks, armored vehicles and military vehicles parked here.
It was piled high with mortars, grenade launchers, light and heavy machine guns, and large amounts of ammunition.
The soldiers of the "Xiongqi Regiment" were extremely excited, surrounding the seizure and shouting happily.
Yue Feng brought Cheng Junde, Sima Qian, Liu Yuanhua, Bai Henqiu, Chu Kangkai, Zhang Sanfeng, Tianshan Xue, Huang Ao, Hong Yushi, Pei Zhongjun and other officers, accompanied by his three disciples Tian Yuan, Chen Yong and Han Jin, to inspect the results of the battle. .
Cheng Junde said loudly: "Commander, this victory is all due to the concerted efforts of the brothers.
How to distribute so many seizures?
Our death camp needs fifty tanks and one hundred machine guns."
"What, do you want to take it all for yourself?"
Liu Yuanhua shouted, "You want fifty tanks and a hundred machine guns at once.
You are too greedy."
"That's right, with so many battalions, if divided equally, each battalion can have at most twenty tanks and forty machine guns."
Bai Henqiu said.
"Commander, our death camp has the least equipment.

We need to replenish it this time."
Chu Kangkai said loudly, "Especially the earthen tanks, our battalion doesn't have even one."
"Captain, we blame the artillery battalion for having a lot of military vehicles, but there are also no indigenous tanks.
This is unfair to us, not fair."
Zhang Sanfeng said loudly, "I want forty indigenous tanks, not one less."
The battalion commanders quarreled and fought for it.
Sima Qian said loudly: "What a fuss, everyone has forgotten who is responsible for the distribution."
Everyone said: "Of course the group leader is responsible for the distribution."
Sima Qian became angry: "Look at your memories, didn't the leader say long ago that the distribution of spoils will be the responsibility of this secretary-general.
Don't worry, I will temporarily form a group, called the spoils distribution group, to distribute it according to your needs. ” Everyone suddenly realized and started shouting.
"Madam, you can allocate more."
"Secretary-General, don't forget me."
"Master's wife, our three brothers have contributed a lot and scored points."
Yue Feng smiled faintly and waved his hands to calm everyone down.
"Brothers and sisters, everyone has a share of the spoils this time.
However, I want to divide one-third and give it to General Zhang's department.
Why?
One is that they have made a contribution and regained Jiujiang.
The other is to increase their strength and let They will defend Jiujiang in the next round of battle."
When everyone heard it, although they thought it made sense, they were reluctant to part with it after all, and started muttering in a very emotional tone.
Yue Feng smiled: "Brothers, I know you are reluctant to part with it.
But, as the saying goes, the Patriotic War is a game of chess for the whole country.
Only when everyone plays well is the real success.
As the saying goes, a single beauty is not spring, but a thousand colors is spring. .
In Anqing City, General Yang Sen is fighting better and better.
Has the pressure on our side been reduced?
If General Zhang fights well in Jiujiang, will Ruichang be safe?"
Chu Kangkai said loudly: "Captain, we understand and we listen to you."
Yue Feng nodded: "Brothers, Okamura Neji was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
He must lick his wounds.
I estimate that there will be temporary peace within fifteen days.
Taking this opportunity, I am going to send an instructor team to General Zhang's headquarters to deal with The soldiers are training.
This matter is left to Battalion Commander Liu Yuanhua."
Liu Yuanhua said loudly: "Promise to complete the task."
Yue Feng said: "Time is tight, focus on training grenades, machine guns, mortars, grenade launchers and other tactics.
At the same time, send out all three hundred sniper instructors to improve the shooting level of the soldiers in the shortest time.
As long as the hit rate If the number rises twice as high, twice as many people will die.”
Liu Yuanhua said: "With company commanders Huang Weihua and Wang Suobiao, the sniper instructor team will have no problem.
It is guaranteed to more than double the shooting level of General Zhang's troops."
At this time, there was a burst of laughter: "Colonel Protector, I'm here."
Yue Feng looked back and saw Leng Yan, accompanied by Zhang Fakui, Zhong Da and more than a hundred senior officials from the Zhang Department, walking over happily.
"Welcome, welcome General Zhang, and welcome all heroes."
Yue Feng stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
This was respect from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Fakui and others quickly returned the gift and were very happy.

"Colonel Huguo, you were the first to recover Jiujiang this time.
Without your strategizing and your encouragement, our troops would not have been able to invade Jiujiang so smoothly."
Zhang Fakui said gratefully, "However, in the battle report, you , we are regarded as the top priority, I am ashamed and ashamed.”
"Hahaha, General Zhang, there is no need to be modest.
The first one to rush into Jiujiang was your 3rd Division.
That's right."
Yue Feng said with a smile, "The credit is yours, it's yours."
Sima Qian said happily: "General Zhang, just keep this credit properly.
Brother Feng doesn't want to be promoted anyway, so he won't take it seriously no matter how much credit he has, right?
He will kill as long as there is a Japanese." ” Zhang Fakui admired him greatly: "So, he is the Colonel who protects the country.
He is dedicated to the country and is loyal and courageous."
Zhong Da couldn't help but ask: "Colonel Protector, I heard that you want to give us part of the captured goods.
Is this true?"
The officers under Zhang Fakui stared at Yue Feng closely, and then looked at the mountains of weapons, their eyes bright.
Yue Feng nodded: "General Zhang's department lacks weapons and it is difficult to fight a tough battle.
I know this.
I have decided to give you one-third of the captured weapons and send a team of instructors to help the soldiers improve their combat skills."
Zhang Fakui was extremely happy and shouted: "Salute!"
The subordinates were extremely excited and saluted at the same time.
Weapons are important, but instructors are more important, as Leng Yan and Lu Xinde prove this.
Zhang Fakui said loudly: "Thank you to the Colonel who protects the country, thank you to the instructors, and thank you to all the soldiers of the Xiongqi Regiment.
We will fight the enemy bravely and be worthy of these weapons."
Yue Feng returned the salute and said loudly: "We fight side by side and defeat the Japanese invaders together.
We are brothers and a family.
The Great Patriotic War does not rely on one or two armies, but all armies and all people.
General Zhang and all Brothers, we are all great heroes of the Chinese nation."
Zhang Fakui hugged Yue Feng tightly: "Thank you, thank you" :
