Chapter 272: Great Victory
Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The battle of Nanchang was a great victory! ”
"Great victory, our army annihilated 80,000 Japanese troops in Nanchang, great victory!"
"Nanchang victory, the Japanese 101st Division was wiped out!"
For a time, the streets and alleys of Chongqing, Changsha, Chengdu, Xi'an, Kunming and other places were crazy!
In particular, Chongqing, Chengdu and other places, although they were bombed by the Japanese army one after another, this victory was undoubtedly very exciting, and many people bought newspapers and stayed to watch them.
The Battle of Wuhan ended with the loss of Wuhan, and to put it bluntly, it was still not won.
Since the all-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, whether it was the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Lanfeng, the Battle of Taiyuan, and last year's Battle of Wuhan, they all ended in failure.
Although the scale of the Battle of Nanchang was not as large as that of the four major battles of Songhu, Taiyuan, Xuzhou, and Wuhan, it was the first victory won by the Chinese army since the all-out resistance against Japan.
Moreover, it was a division of the Japanese army that was completely annihilated.
Of course, part of the Japanese army escaped, but the two brigades of the 101st Division were wiped out, and it was no different from total annihilation.
One can imagine how heartening it was for these citizens in the rear to hear this news.
"Madam, Madam, Chief Leng has won!"
In Chongqing, Zhao Miao knocked on the door with a newspaper and rushed in excitedly.
In the room, Li Wenyin's parents and aunt are here, and in the cradle next to it, there is a little guy.
Li Wenyin was due in March, but Leng Jie happened to be transferred to Nanchang at that time, even if he wrote a letter, he might not be able to send it to him, in order not to affect Leng Jie's war, Li Wenyin did not tell the other party.
However, Li Wenyin's parents and aunt all knew about this kind of thing, and they came early, and they were also accompanying them during this time.
"Why are you so babbling?" Seeing Zhao Miao's voice so loud, Mother Li was a little unhappy.
"I'm sorry!" Zhao Miao also realized that her voice was a little loud, and hurriedly apologized, and then explained, "The newspaper that just published. Chief Leng won the battle in Nanchang, Nanchang won a great victory, annihilated a division of the Japanese army, and annihilated 50,000 enemies in the entire battle!
Now the streets and alleys of Chongqing are crazy! ”
"Really?" Li Wenyin was a little excited and wanted to get out of bed, but was stopped by Li's mother.
"Xiao Yin, you are still in confinement, you can't run around!"
Zhao Miao handed the newspaper to Li's father next to him and let him read it.
This newspaper is not other small newspaper, but the JoongAng Ilbo, the most authoritative official newspaper.
Although the number of 80,000 enemies annihilated is a bit outrageous, it is only twice as much, and this is a common trick of the Nationalist Government.
In any case, double the results first.
And this is how the result of the battle is counted, and those who are killed and wounded are counted as the results of the battle.
In the entire Battle of Nanchang, the number of Japanese soldiers killed and wounded should be about 40,000.
After all, there are more than 20,000 outside Nanchang, and the 6th, 16th, and 106th divisions have also fought with more than 20 divisions of the Chinese army for so long and fiercely, and it is normal to lose more than 10,000 people.
Of course, the losses of the Chinese army were greater.
According to statistics, a total of 34 divisions were invested in the entire Battle of Nanchang, with 45,000 killed and tens of thousands wounded. The entire loss was close to 100,000 people, almost twice as many as the Japanese army.
However, in Nanchang, the battle loss ratio was not 1:2.
In Nanchang, the Chinese army invested 8 divisions, while the Japanese army invested 101 divisions and tank groups, as a result, the Japanese army was killed and captured 23,000 people, and the Chinese army was killed and wounded 35,000, and the battle loss ratio was 1:1.52, which was lower than the average.
If it weren't for the fact that there were many losses in the encirclement and attack behind, the battle loss ratio might have to be reduced.
However, the Nationalist Government's habit was to double the losses of the Japanese army and cut its own losses by half, so in the newspapers it became that the Japanese army suffered 80,000 casualties and the Chinese army suffered 50,000 casualties.
Father Li, as a scholarly family, was actually very dissatisfied with his daughter eloping to join Leng Jie and coming back pregnant.
However, after seeing a special report by Leng Jie in the newspaper, he was also a little silent and a little emotional.
This man was a little inappropriate in the matter of his daughter, but as a general who fought bloodily on the front line and killed many Japanese invaders, Father Li admired him very much.
"The newspaper said that those who have made meritorious contributions will come back to confer honors, including Leng Jie's name, and it is very high." Father Li said with emotion.
"Dad, is it true?" Li Wenyin was a little excited.
When Li Wenyin saw Leng Jie's name in the corner, her expression was even more excited.
。。。。。。
After the Battle of Nanchang, Leng Jie's department did not return to the 54th Army for the first time, but rested in Nanchang for a few days before starting to return.
Ma Peiji, Luo Xingli and other students who had observed the actual combat also returned to Lu University, and as for Leng Jie, no one mentioned the intention of letting him go back.
Even Wan Yaohuang didn't mention it, because with Leng Jie's military talent, it was indeed a bit of a waste to return to Lu Da, and such a general should kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Of course, even if he wanted to go back, he would come back as an instructor to teach and explain the experience of the Anti-Japanese War.
But no matter what you say, the street battles in the Battle of Nanchang are enough to be recorded in the history of the Anti-Japanese War or the history of street battles in China's modern war, which can be called a classic.
With the strength of three divisions, under the attack of a division and tank group of the Japanese army, Nanchang held on for more than 10 days, killing tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers and destroying nearly 100 tanks.
During the street fighting, the battle loss ratio was even close to one to one, which no one else dared to imagine.
This is a victory that has not been achieved in any previous battle.
After arriving in Changde, Huo Yuzhang and Chen Lie greeted them in person, and indicated that after Que Hanqian, Leng Jie and others returned from Chongqing, they would hold a celebration banquet for everyone.
After arriving in Chongqing, President Chang also met with the generals who made meritorious contributions in the defense of Nanchang.
It's just that I heard that Leng Jie has some wives, and I feel a little pity, and I don't know if this person wants to be a matchmaker.
After the interview, there was no follow-up.
Maybe it's Leng Jie's qualifications, and it's a trouble to arrange a position for him.
There was no arrangement, Leng Jie was also happy to be idle, so he spent time with his family in Chongqing.
To be honest, as a husband and brother, he was indeed a little derelict in his duties, and it happened that he was not allowed to return to the army or Lu Da during this time, so he didn't ask.
In addition to the family, it is the industry.
The development of the industry is actually very fast, that is, now that the Japanese army has begun to bomb Chongqing, Leng Jie is considering whether to relocate some industries to a farther away, away from the urban area.
There is no doubt that the urban area was the focus of the Japanese bombing, including Chengdu, Yibin, Zigong, Wanzhou and other cities.
Leng Jie is also thinking about this.
But Leng Jie is not in a hurry about where to go next, but someone is in a hurry.
I didn't know that Leng Jie was playing in Chongqing and taking his sister, Han Bin was in a hurry, so he ran over when he didn't have a duty task.
