Let's talk about the Japanese army in the general rout

During the retreat, the Japanese army was attacked by the national army from all sides, and the casualties were not light. In particular, the small garrison units scattered in various places were almost swept away by the national army.

Under the fierce attack of the Nationalist army, the Japanese troops staggered across the Miluo River on October 4.

The Japanese army on the left flank could not retreat, so they had to retreat from Dongting Lake to Yueyang in a hurry.

At this time, there was already a certain degree of confusion in the various divisions of the Japanese army. On the 6th, Okamura Ninji's claim to cover his ears and steal the bell had achieved the purpose of the operation, and the battle was all over. In fact, at this time, most of the Japanese army was still rushing and did not retreat across the Xinqiang River.

It was not until the 8th that the 6th and 13th Divisions of the Japanese Army retreated across the Xinqiang River and returned to their own defense areas, and the Nationalist Army recovered all the lost ground.

In addition, the 33rd Division, with the assistance of the Fujiazheng Nanshan Artillery Wing, finally escaped the encirclement and interception of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the 79th Army and the 20th Army, and then retreated to the 106th Division after attacking and repairing water in the east of Zhajin.

In this pursuit, the Japanese suffered thousands of casualties, plus more than 10,000 casualties in the previous battle, the casualties in this battle were as high as 20,000.

The casualties of the Nationalist army were about 30,000 people, which was larger than that of the Japanese army, but this casualty ratio was quite ideal given the huge gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides.

The First Battle of Changsha was a victory both strategically and tactically.

Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to Xue Yue could not hide the festive atmosphere: "The victory in northern Hunan and the excitement of the whole country are sincerely the proof of the final victory, and the relationship between the people's faith and the international audio-visual is especially huge. Jun Lie has made great achievements, and he has a good and deep celebration. ”

However, Xue Yue's stomach was not calm.

At the critical time of the Battle of Changsha, Bai Chongxi pressured Xue Yue to withdraw his troops, and also made Xue Yue make a military order, and was quite rude to him. If Xue Yue succumbed to Bai Chongxi's pressure, he withdrew from Changsha. If the Japanese army did not advance after occupying Changsha, then Changsha would be lost in vain, and it would not be able to annihilate the Japanese army in large numbers, and the campaign would have failed.

Li Zongren said: Bai Chongxi is good at everything, but he is too arrogant and his mouth is too stinky.

After the Battle of Changsha, Bai Chongxi sat in the camp in Guilin, he really didn't sit or stand, the fact was really a resounding slap in the face to himself. I knew that I was wrong in command, so I came to Changsha in person and wanted to apologize to Xue Yue.

Bai Chongxi was idle, so he came by special train.

At that time, the Battle of Changsha had just ended, and the troops of the Ninth Theater were very tired and resting. The ringing of Bai Chongxi's coming phone immediately woke up the Ninth Theater Command.

Xue Yue didn't sleep well for more than ten days, and when he was sleepy, he lay down on the marching bed, woke up, and immediately commanded the battle. This battle had just ended, and he was just about to get a good night's sleep, when Bai Chongxi came again, how could Xue Yue's heart feel better.

Xue Yue woke up a group of staff officers and lost his temper: "Go!" Go pick up Bai Chongxi. Bai Chongxi is here! Lose the nucleus (Cantonese swear words)! When the enemy attacked, he did not come, the enemy ran, he came. We hadn't slept for more than ten nights, and as soon as we slept well, he came looking for trouble! ”

When the group arrived at the station, Bai Chongxi's special train had already stopped for a long time! Come on, he's still holding the shelf. If Xue Yue doesn't come, he won't get off the special train.

Xue Yue was already angry, and when he saw Bai Chongxi holding the shelf like this, he was even more angry. He had to go to the special train with a cold face to greet Bai Chongxi.

When Bai Chongxi saw Xue Yue coming, he also pretended to get out of the car and exchanged a few words with Xue Yue.

Xue Yue was also not angry with him, and said angrily: "In this battle, the troops are not enough, and my ability is limited, so the battle is not fought well. I should take this responsibility, so please see how it should be handled. In the future, in such a war, it is better to ask the director to personally command it! ”

Bai Chongxi was rushed by Xue Yue like this, and he couldn't say a word, so he had to touch his head in embarrassment, and said to Xue Yue: "The troops of the Ninth Theater fought very well, fought a complete victory, and the Chinese knew it, and even Chairman Jiang said that it fought very well. ”

Xue Yue was still not angry, and said, "Really, even Chief Bai said it was good." I thought that my battle was not fought well, and that Commander Bai was going to take me away and go to the military court to question the guilt. I'm ready, I can go with Chief Bai at any time! ”

When Bai Chongxi heard this, the smell was wrong, and he looked around blankly, with an embarrassed face.

Fortunately, Xue Yue's chief of staff was sophisticated, so he hurriedly played a round and changed the topic and said: "Commander Xue is joking with Chief Bai, please don't be weird to Chief Bai!" Let's ask Chief Bai to come to our headquarters for a while!"

Bai Chongxi also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I know that Commander Xue is joking. The guest is as he pleases, and I will obey whatever Commander Xue is willing to arrange. ”

Xue Yue still had to ignore the people, and said reluctantly: "Director Bai, the people in our headquarters haven't had a good night's sleep for more than ten days!" It's okay to eat and pull with you, isn't it okay to wait for us to sleep and rest a little before accompanying you! Please understand the difficulties of our subordinates as well, Chief Bai! ”

When Bai Chongxi heard this, he originally wanted to have a meal here in the Ninth War Zone, pull a croak, and make up for the rift between the two sides. It's good now, Xue Yue is not welcome at all! Hot face sticks a cold ass, what are you doing here.

Bai Chongxi had no choice but to say: "The officers and men of the Ninth Theater have worked hard and made great achievements, and they have both merit and hard work. In particular, Commander-in-Chief Xue commanded well and confidently, and led the Ninth Theater to a great victory. The troops are tired, so you can rest well, then I will take my leave! ”

Xue Yue arched his hand and said, "Since Chief Bai can be so sympathetic, then we won't be forced to stay." ”

Bai Chongxi had no choice but to reluctantly shake hands with Xue Yue and get on the special train in a gloomy manner.

As soon as Xue Yue saw Bai Chongxi get on the special train, his nose snorted again, and before the train left the station, Xue Yue turned around and left.

Why Xue Yue is so angry, in fact, there is also an element of grief.

During the First Battle of Changsha, his father died. The Xue family is a Hakka family in Lechang, Shaoguan, Guangdong, and has been a family of cultivation and reading for generations. Xue Yue's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all farmers who depended on the land for their livelihood.

Xue Yue's father is a wealthy man, and Xue Yue is the eldest son. Xue Haohan has six sons and two daughters, and his family education is extremely strict. Among Xue Yue's six brothers, there are four generals of the national army, in addition to Xue Yue is a four-star first-class general, the third brother Zhongshu and the fourth brother Shuda are lieutenant generals, and the fifth brother Ji Liang is a major general.

Xue Haohan inherited the characteristics of a peasant family and attached great importance to Xue Yue, the eldest son.

Xue Yue was sent to a private school at the age of seven, and then sent to a new-style elementary school. This is a heavy financial burden for ordinary peasant families. At that time, more than seventy percent of the male farmers were illiterate, that is, they had never even attended a private school, let alone a Western primary school.

Xue Haohan told Xue Yue the story of Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, and Shi Kefa's resistance to foreign invaders since he was a child, which also had a significant impact on Xue Yue's life.

Later, when Xue Yue was 15 years old, he left home to go to the army primary school in Guangzhou, although his father Xue Haohan was reluctant, he did not object, and the father and son had a deep relationship.

Before the outbreak of the First Battle of Changsha, the elderly Xue Haohan was already seriously ill and bedridden, and it seemed that he would not be able to do it. During the battle, Xue Haohan was already dying, and after he was a little sober, he repeatedly told his family not to tell his son Xue Yue, who was fighting, so that he could fight devils wholeheartedly.

But Xue Yue still knew the news that his father was no longer dead!

Now that the military situation is urgent, Xue Yue doesn't sleep all day and all night, I'm afraid that he can't leave a single step, how can he leave the front line to see his father? In the end, Xue Yue gritted his teeth and held on, and finally won the battle.

But Xue Haohan also died of illness before the end of the battle!

Xue Yue cried bitterly when he heard the news of his father's death. After the battle, he hurriedly asked for leave and went back to mourn. But at this time, Bai Chongxi came to look for something to do again, and Xue Yue's heart was still angry with him.

Xue Yue is a native of Guangdong, and the local customs are extremely conservative. Before the father died, the son did not come to meet him, which was a great unfilial piety. The elders of the clan were very dissatisfied with Xue Yue, and they did not let Xue Yue run for a while. Xue Yue and his family pleaded again and again, and the old people reluctantly allowed Xue Yue to worship, but he had to be extremely pious.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and Xue Yue didn't even see his father for the last time for the sake of the country.

Intriguingly, Shaoguan in Guangdong Province held out until the fall in January 1945. After the Japanese army occupied Shaoguan, there was a Japanese army that went to Xue Yue's ancestral tomb.

At that time, most of Xue Yue's relatives and friends had already left, and the remaining old people were very nervous. Because Xue Yue is probably the general of the national army who annihilated the most Japanese troops, and has a deep blood feud with the Japanese army, the Japanese army is likely to come to dig up his ancestral grave.

During the Republican period, digging up ancestral graves was the most terrible revenge for a family, better than beheading all the houses. Unexpectedly, after the Japanese army arrived at Xue Yue's hometown in Shaoguan, they did not do anything disrespectful to Xue Yue's ancestral tomb. I even did a simple cleaning, lit cigarettes and drank alcohol!

Why? Because the Japanese know that Xue Yue is a real soldier, and everything he does is for his country and nation, which is completely consistent with the views of Japanese soldiers.

Therefore, although the Japanese were killed by Xue Yue in tens of thousands, they admired Xue Yue very much, thinking that he was a real warrior, and naturally they would not dig his family's ancestral grave.

Besides, the helicopter formation that retreated from Jinjing Town to the rear immediately flew over the health team of the Yongan South Expeditionary Army Base.

Fan Shuyu saw the helicopter formation flying to his own territory, needless to say, it was the wounded who were pulled back after the fierce battle ahead. She immediately commanded all the medical staff of the health team to come and treat the wounded and sick.

The rotating propeller of the Z-8 helicopter finally stopped rotating, and Han Xing jumped down from the plane and immediately instructed Fan Shuyu: "Hurry up and rescue the wounded, this is the most important task at present." ”

Fan Shuyu stood up to Han Xing, and quickly saluted and said, "Yes!" Commander. ”

As soon as the hatch opened, the medical staff behind them swarmed up, and the soldiers were carried down one by one. Fan Shuyu checked the injuries one by one, and ordered loudly: "This one needs immediate surgery." Immediately—"
