Chapter 107: Funeral
In Laohua Mountain, there is a mouthful of white coffins on the slope of a pine and cypress evergreen. All the officers and soldiers of the Third Division mourned in silence, and Su Xiqing, who came to preside over the funeral, mourned and read the memorial text.
When seeing him off, the commander of the 302nd regiment couldn't hold back any longer, threw himself on the coffin and cried: "Brothers, it was I who harmed you, and it was I who commanded the incompetent and tired everyone to lose their lives!" β
Hou Dashun's sad face spewed with anger, and after listening to what the commander of the 7th Regiment changed into 302, he sighed and said, "The deceased is gone, don't blame yourself too much." β
When the corpses of the soldiers were just brought back, Hou Dashun pulled out his gun and put it on the head of the 302 regiment commander, if it wasn't for others to stop it in time, I was afraid that he would have shot and killed this incompetent regimental cadre.
With nowhere to vent his anger, Hou Dashun wiped the remains of the soldiers one by one and took out brand-new clothes for everyone to change into. There are more than 1,100 soldiers, all of whom he sorts out one by one, and anyone who helps him will be angry and scolded.
The commander of the 301st regiment stood beside Hou Dashun and said with a frown: "The morale of the 302nd regiment is low, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will affect the future mission." β
"Hmm." Hou Dashun sighed and looked up into the distance.
The long list was placed in front of Hu Zhiyong, and his resolute face twitched violently. Liang Chengfu looked at it and transferred the list to Li Erzhu and the other commanders: "Look, look, everyone take a look!" The dead are all veterans, the soldiers of our old Northeast Army, and the Seventh Regiment that has been transferred! β
"Division commander, maybe it was 302 that met a hard enemy, and this is why it suffered heavy losses." Lu Xiaosheng, the head of the Fifth Regiment, said softly.
"Fart!" Liang Chengfu couldn't help but get angry anymore: "You didn't look at the report, a princess ridge died a dozen, and hundreds died in a small place in Siping!" 301, 303, and 304 fought hard and vicious battles, and their three regiments only lost one hundred and three! β
Hu Zhiyong stopped the angry Liang Chengfu and said to the cadres gathered in the auditorium to mourn: "The incompetence of a commander buries not only the lives of soldiers, but also the lives of warplanes and the country, and the lives of the people!" Loyalty is no substitute for dereliction of duty and incompetence, because he is two concepts. Comrades, there are many excellent commanders in the Northeast Army, but there is no shortage of mediocre and incompetent people. Everyone, please take a look! β
Hu Zhiyong walked to the map as he spoke, and the baton pointed to the line of Rehe and the Great Wall and said: "According to intelligence, the Japanese army has not yet attacked, and Tang Yulin, the governor of Rehe Province, collected more than 200 cars, loaded them with gold, silver, treasures and opium, etc., and transported them to the Tianjin concession, several of his generals surrendered or fled before they clashed, Tang Yulin did not fire a shot, retreated completely, and led his troops to flee to Luanping in the Chengde region of Hebei, and the Japanese army occupied Chengde with only 128 cavalry. β
Everyone in the auditorium was shocked, and Rehe was lost like this? Once the Japanese army takes this opportunity to attack Beiping, will this thousand-year-old city be engulfed in the flames of war?
"Comrades, on the front line of the Great Wall, the forces of the enemy and us are commanded by the commander of the Kwantung Army, Muto Nobuyoshi, the 6th and 8th Divisions, the 14th and 33rd Mixed Brigades, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, the Aviation Corps, the Navy, and more than 30,000 puppet troops, in an attempt to capture the front line of the Great Wall east of Rehe and Gubeikou, and wait for an opportunity to occupy eastern Hebei.
Under the command of Zhang Xueliang, acting chairman of the Beiping Branch of the Military Commission, the Nationalist Government successively mobilized more than 200,000 troops from 14 armies in an attempt to defend Rehe and rely on the Great Wall to prevent the Japanese army from entering the pass. The fighting was fought mainly in the following areas and key passes:
Shanhaiguan, Rehe Province, Gubeikou, Xinglong, Xifengkou, Luo Wenyu. The battle will last for half a year, and finally end with the defeat of the national army and the victory of the Japanese army in the occupation of eastern Hebei!
You are all hot-blooded men, and recently there have been complaints and suspicions, thinking that I am a self-respecting soldier. Okay, let me give you a statement, the Zhuanghe troops will attack with all their strength and kill all the Japanese troops attacking the Great Wall and Rehe! What about later? Who will defend after the fight? Once the island country transfers a large number of troops from the country, will the Zhuanghe troops still be able to defeat the Japanese army? β
Hu Zhiyong spoke sonorously, and the baton clicked on the map on the wall. All the commanders fell into thought and shock, they felt their irrationality and lack of a sense of the overall situation of the campaign. At this time, they remembered what Hu Zhiyong had said before: "The War of Resistance is not a matter of one person and one army, but can only be completed by the government and the whole nation together!" β
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Hu Zhiyong lit a cigarette and took a few puffs and said: "I will tell you the goal of Zhuanghe, please pick out your own choice!" Let's go, I'll send you ammunition and money to the front. We must unconditionally obey orders and resolutely put an end to irresponsible discussions and inflammatory words in private!
Zhuanghe, for the purpose of construction, for the purpose of cultivating talents, for the purpose of developing industry and commerce! Where are the military developments? In the military industry, in military theory and military training! If you want to make meritorious contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, please put aside your minds and seriously train troops and learn military knowledge. The lesson of the 302nd regiment with blood reminds everyone, please don't repeat the mistakes! β
The memorial service was held in two places, not because Hu Zhiyong did not want to personally see off the bloody soldiers, but so as not to attract the attention of the Japanese army. Hu Zhiyong picked up the chalk and wrote on the blackboard on the wall, and in an instant the cursive characters were clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
"The anti-Japanese heroes are immortal! The soul of Chinese heroes is immortal! β
"Send a telegram, send these two sentences to the Third Division, and let them make an inscription for me to erect in front of the hero's grave!" Hu Zhiyong turned around and gave orders to the chief of the telecommunications section.
"Yes!" The chief of the telecommunications section quickly jotted down these two sentences, turned and ran out of the hall.
Eight people with a mouthful of bushes, these eight people are the battalion commanders and above of the 3rd Division, and they want to personally send the dead brothers into Elysium, where they don't have to worry about fatigue, so that they can rest peacefully!
The inscriptions sent by Hu Zhiyong are all jingling and engraved by the stonemasons. The names of each martyr are recorded above, so that the world can remember them in the peaceful and prosperous times in the future.
Su Xiqing has already left with the guard battalion, and they are responsible for taking the families of the martyrs to Zhuanghe and Xiuyan, and those who do not want to go will be given a settlement fee of 1,000 oceans.
After the commander of the 302nd regiment buried the soldiers who died due to the incompetence of his own command, he personally handed Hou Dashun a letter of resignation. Hou Dashun sighed: "You came to the division headquarters as a staff officer, and everyone needs to learn war in the war!" β
"Division commander, 302nd regimentβ" The regiment commander said in shame. Hu Zhiyong clearly said: "The Third Division will not replenish new soldiers, and it will be canceled once the number of this division is exhausted!" β
"Form a separate battalion!" Hou Dashun once thought about the aftermath, and also thought about transferring soldiers from other regiments to replenish the 302nd Regiment from the new one. However, the war will not end in a short time, and in the future, the regiments will also face the problem of attrition.
"Yes! I propose to have four battalion commanders take the post of battalion commander of a separate battalion! 302 realizes his mistake and feels even more inaccessible to his own men. Three battalion commanders face demotion, and other officers at all levels will also be demoted.
"Hmm." The commander of the fourth battalion was thirty years old and had studied the staff command department at the military academy.
The troops should rest and reorganize, and Hou Dashun said to all the commanders: "Take a day off, and start a large-scale training tomorrow!" β
"Yes!"
The Zhuanghe unit has a very good file system, and all soldiers have their hometown addresses and personnel statistics. Su Xiqing took the guard battalion and divided it into squads to comprehensively search for the families of the sacrificed soldiers.
After three days and three nights, more than ninety percent of the soldiers' families were found. When it comes to moving to Zhuanghe, they are reluctant to go. The homeland is difficult to give up, Su Xiqing helplessly handed out silver dollars: "Remember, if you can't survive, go to the Zhuang River, there will be responsible for you!" β
It was already mid-December, and Hu Zhiyong knew that the Battle of the Great Wall was about to begin. He only had the most powerful force left in his hands, the guard battalion, and he thought of Li Shicheng's Blood Wolf Brigade.
Transfer back, what to do with the North Korean base? If you don't transfer it back, it's a pity that an elite army is hiding. Nanyang still has to pass people, who will command a capable construction team?
He had a headache, his fingers flicking his forehead slightly, and he leaned back on the couch and fell asleep. Huofeng took out a blanket and gently covered Sanshao's body. Shi Yinshi walked in, watched Hu Zhiyong fall asleep and waved his hand to let Huofeng follow him outside.
"Miss Feng, when the third young man wakes up, you tell him that I have made a list of materials needed for this year's Spring Festival."
"Third uncle!" Hu Zhiyong was already awake in the room, and he shouted for the two people outside the door to come back and talk.
After Shi Yinshi came in, Hu Zhiyong sat him down and said, "You can contact a few nearby counties to recruit 5,000 unmarried women this year." β
"So much? You're going to organize a unit of female soldiers? Shi Yinshi's brows furrowed slightly, and he thought it was very difficult to let a woman be a soldier.
"It's not to be a soldier, it's to be a wife for the soldiers." Hu Zhiyong smiled bitterly: "Some older ones are going to be discharged from the army, so they have to be given a family." β
"The troops still need to be downsized?" Liang Chengfu happened to walk in and was stunned when he heard Hu Zhiyong's words.
"Yes!" Hu Zhiyong asked Liang Chengfu to sit down on the sofa beside him, and said to the two of them: "Some veterans have developed bad habits, rather than letting them die on the battlefield, it is better to arrange them to other posts." β
Liang Chengfu was silent, he knew that many of his former brothers were illiterate and illiterate. Besides, these people don't know anything but guns.
"Don't worry!" Hu Zhiyong smiled: "You can learn to do business, or you can join the construction and construction industry." β
"Young Master, I know you're doing it for their good, but I hope you can let them choose for themselves!" Liang Chengfu said affectionately: "They don't seek to be officials, nor do they seek glory and wealth. It is the blood of the soldiers who spill the field, and they will have no regrets! β
"I don't want to go to their funerals, I want them all alive!" Hu Zhiyong stood up: "The millions of troops of the national army have been defeated repeatedly, do we still want to waste money on them?" β
Liang Chengfu closed his eyes in pain: "Alas! You're right, I'm emotional. β
"They create wealth in their new roles, and it's more valuable than giving them their lives! If the young and strong all pick up guns and fight hard, even if the land is recovered, it will not make China richer and stronger. Master Li, this is the same as playing chess, work, education, and training are what we need at the same time! β
Hu Zhiyong walked to the window and looked out: "The cruel reality has not yet begun, we must take precautions and prevent trouble!" β
Liang Chengfu jumped up: "Will it be more cruel in the future?" β
Hu Zhiyong turned his head and turned around, looked at the stunned Liang Chengfu and said, "Twenty years of cruel war, do you believe it?" β
