Chapter 602: Defending the Battle
Lin Yang decided to temporarily devote himself to the battlefield of the Battle of Songhu.
After all, he was promoted to regimental commander, and there were more than 800 troops, and it was always not beautiful to just let go and leave. In addition, as a countryman, he also wants to do his part to fight the little devils.
Lin Yang looked around at the crowd, raised his voice, and his tone became encouraging.
"How many of your comrades-in-arms died on the battlefield? I just want to go home, but I don't want to avenge them! What kind of man is it? I'm here, I don't charge soft eggs, and those who want to go home will be paid for the journey, so go home! ”
Everyone bowed their heads in shame.
"This is a small righteousness." Lin Yang paused, and said: "As a countryman, as a soldier, it is natural to die for the country, this is a great righteousness!" ”
Sichuan soldier Hong Jiu held two silver dollars, struggled, and finally spoke: "Sir! It's not that I don't want to go to the battlefield, I don't want to avenge my comrades, it's just that the little devil is too powerful! We can't beat it, and if we go, we'll die in vain! ”
Lin Yang looked at Hong Jiu and was noncommittal, "This is not the reason for you to be soft!" ”
After a pause, he said loudly: "The little devil is better than you, so you don't have to resist!?" Watch them invade, kill your brothers, plunder your finances, and ravage your women!? Isn't it!? ”
"No!" A young Sichuan soldier with a yellow face and thin muscles who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old gritted his teeth and roared.
His brother joined the army with him, went out of Sichuan to fight the little devils, and died in battle to protect him, and he wanted revenge!
"No!!"
"No !!"
Some of the Sichuan soldiers and Gui soldiers also roared, and they needed to vent.
Lin Yang glanced around at everyone, waved his hand, stopped their roaring, and said lightly: "I still say the same thing, I don't accept soft eggs here." If you want to stay and play with the little devil, I think of him as my brother! If you want to go home, get your travel expenses and go home! ”
The first to respond, but it was the Sichuan soldier Hong Jiu, who threw two silver dollars to the ground. He said loudly: "Sir, I did it with you!" Isn't it just a life!? ”
"Yes, sir, I did it with you!"
"We ...... with you"
These men are not bloodless, they are just scared by the little devils, and they are excited by Lin Yang, and the blood gushes out again for a while.
Even so, there were more than a hundred people. chose to receive the travel fee and went home with a thousand thanks.
In this way, Lin Yang has only more than 600 people left in a regiment, although these more than 600 people decided to do it with him, but they were only angry for a while, thinking of the power of the little devil, they still have no confidence.
……
The Battle of Songhu was in full swing.
There are more than 800,000 Chinese troops. The Japanese army invested more than 200,000 troops, and the combined strength of both sides has exceeded 1 million.
The fighting was raging. Under the absolute superiority of the Japanese artillery fire and the indiscriminate bombardment of naval aviation, all units of the Chinese army suffered heavy casualties.
When the battle was fierce, a regiment or even a division of troops was defeated by the Japanese in less than half a day. Dead and wounded!
Even if Lin Yang became the commander of the regiment and had more than 600 horses under his command, he would not play a role in the mighty Battle of Songhu, but with his extraordinary insight and bravery. As well as elusive skills, marksmanship and so on.
He led the troops, survived tenaciously, and made a great name.
On both sides of China and Japan, many people know about the 585 regiment!
The 585th Regiment followed Lin Yang, although it was beaten from more than 600 people to more than 500 people, its combat effectiveness was not the same, and the equipment in the regiment alone was top-notch, and it was better than the Japanese army.
The cohesion is also unprecedented, because they follow the head of the regiment and can kill devils!
This regiment commander is never afraid of life and death, often fights in person, and has a miraculous marksmanship, who points and who dies! When fighting a battle, the light and heavy machine gunners and gunners of the Japanese army were often overwhelmed.
Gradually, they seized more and more equipment and supplies, and exchanged shotguns for guns.
In private, Lin Yang will also teach them literacy and some knowledge, and begin to carefully train his troops, and the next step is to pass on the Sacred Heart Formula!
As he said, those who stay to play with the little devils are regarded as his brothers.
As he said, the more than 500 people in the whole regiment regard him, the head of the regiment, as their commander and brother!
Lin Yang with his own regiment can be regarded as a mixed wind and water, his name is not small, and his combat effectiveness is already extremely strong, but it can't change the outcome of the entire Battle of Songhu.
Since the beginning of winter, the war has been tightened on all fronts, and the supply of materials for the various army groups has become tighter, and the supply of ammunition and food standards have become even tighter than before.
Ammunition is scarce, and food can be almost enough.
The most unbearable thing was the rain and snow in winter, with a few days of heavy rain, due to the low-lying terrain in the Songhu area, the trenches of the position were suddenly filled with water.
The hundreds of thousands of soldiers who stuck to the front line were all soaked in cold water, miserable, and in a few days, I was afraid that the Chinese army would cross by itself without the need for little devils to attack.
On the other hand, on the side of the little devils, supplies are constantly being sent, without the slightest worries.
However, Lin Yang's regiment is okay, these days of fighting, captured a lot of supplies, pills, food, clothing, etc., are very rich.
But the soldiers in the regiment also understood that this battle could not be fought, thanks to Lin Yang's continuous teaching them literacy and some knowledge during this time, which improved their vision.
In this kind of weather, with the situation of the Chinese army, the battle could not be fought, so it could only retreat.
Once retreated, it means on. The loss of Haishi, the pearl of the Orient. Because on. Most of Haishi was a public concession, and those gringos would never allow the Chinese army to fight on a large scale with the Japanese army.
Nor could the Nationalist Government offend the Western powers.
So to retreat means to give up on. Haishi, in fact, the Battle of Songhu has been fought to the present situation, and the Chinese army has been defeated.
However, in the Battle of Songhu, the resistance ability of the Chinese army, with more than 200,000 casualties, also greatly reduced the sharpness of the Japanese army, and won time for the internal relocation of China's coastal industries.
At the same time, it also stimulated the people's enthusiasm for the anti-Japanese war.
Next, it's the South. Battle of Beijing.
South. The Battle of Beijing, also known as the South. The Battle of Beijing was a battle fought by the Chinese army to defend the capital Nanjing against the Japanese invading army after the defeat in the Battle of Songhu.
On December 1, the Japanese army headquarters issued the "Mainland Order No. 8", ordering the Central China Front to coordinate with the navy and divide the troops into three routes to capture Nanjing.
Lao Chiang appointed Tang Shengzhi as the commander of the garrison in the capital and deployed to the south. Battle of Beijing.
Lin Yang's 585th Regiment, after retreating with the large army, naturally became the south. A member of the Battle of Beijing.
But even Lin Yang didn't have the slightest grasp of this war. (To be continued......)
