He Yingpei said: "I didn't wipe it all out." ”

"I'll just say it." Chen Shi said, "It's good to be able to win, how can it be annihilated!" ”

Bai Chongbei said: "Brother Jing, what about the specific results? Tell you guys. ”

Nodding his head, He Yingpei read directly: "In the Battle of Xinchang, more than 29,500 officers and soldiers of the 62nd, 16th and 192nd Divisions of the 28th Army, after a night of fierce fighting, killed and wounded more than 3,000 Japanese invaders, including more than 1,200 killed, captured more than 2,150 rifles, more than 300 pistols, 4 75mm caliber mountain guns, 10 70mm caliber 92 infantry guns, 6 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns, 6 90mm caliber mortars, and more than 60 grenadiers. There are more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, as well as steel helmets, bayonets, and military boots. ”

Listening to He Yingpei read out a large series of numbers, although Bai Chongbei and the others were surprised, they were not surprised.

Because the appetite of everyone in the headquarters was nourished by Zhong Yi, after experiencing the first battle of Wuhan, they were completely immune to the number of enemies killed below 10,000 people, not to mention the capture.

In the Battle of Wuhan, even a complete heavy artillery brigade was captured.

……

Also immune to this is Principal Chang, who is taking refuge in the summer in Mount Emei.

When Principal Chang learned the news, it was already the next morning.

After listening to Lin Wei's report, Principal Chang only said one sentence, fight well, and then there was no follow-up, obviously the result of the battle of Xinchang had been expected by Principal Chang.

As for the power reward or something, Principal Chang didn't bother to ask.

Just won a small victory, and it was enough to hand it over to He Yingpei, the Minister of Military Affairs, who has always been the supreme leader of the party-state, and he needs to be asked in all aspects, and he is very busy.

……

The feedback from the high command soon reached Yinjiang.

Ding Bai walked quickly into the war room with a telegram and said to Zhong Yi: "Attendance, the commendation order of the command." ”

Zhong Yi's gaze was still on the sand table, and he asked without raising his head: "There is only one commendation order?" Are there any bonuses or material rewards? ”

Ding Bai shook his head and said, "No." ”

He Wenxi said: "Our principal Chang is really picking." ”

"Principal Chang?" Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Deputy Director Ding, do you see which one is the commendation order?" ”

"Payment?" Ding Bai glanced down at the commendation order in his hand and said, "The payment is made by He Yingpei, Minister of Military Affairs." ”

"How is He Yingpei, Minister of Military Affairs?" He Wenxi was stunned and said, "Wasn't the previous commendation order all signed by Principal Chang himself, how can I change He Yingpei this time?" ”

Zhong Yi smiled and said nothing, he could probably guess Principal Chang's thoughts.

Principal Chang's intention in this move is very simple, it is still a set of checks and balances.

At the national level, the victory in the Battle of Xinchang is really not worth mentioning, but it was only the annihilation of an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, which is really nothing to boast about, but for the officers and men of the 10th Army, especially for the officers and soldiers of the 62nd Division, this is a great victory, because they have never won a battle before!

Now that the battle has been won, the high command has only given a commendation order, but the substantive reward is not a fart, and even the fiat currency, which is depreciating sharply, is not a cent, and the officers and men must have complaints.

Therefore, President Chang refused to sign this name, and asked He Yingpei to sign it.

In this way, the grievances of all the officers and men of the Tenth Group Army were transferred to He Yingpei.

This is not over, the officers and soldiers of the 10th Group complained about He Yingpei, and then complained about Zhong Yi, complaining that Zhong Yi did not fight for the reward they deserved.

In this way, the Tenth Army will not be bribed by him Zhong Yi because of this battle.

To put it bluntly, Principal Chang was wary of him, Zhong Yi took the opportunity to include the Tenth Group Army, and this was also the reason why Principal Chang hesitated to appoint Zhong Yi as the chief of staff of the enemy before the Battle of Zhejiang-Fujian.

Principal Chang's actions are really the way of checks and balances.

It's just a pity that this time it's going to disappoint Principal Chang.

It's not that he, Zhong Yi, wants to fight with Principal Chang for anything, but he really doesn't want to wronged the officers and soldiers who participated in the war.

He Wenxi thought about it for a while, and then figured out the doorway, and immediately said to Zhong Yi: "Counselor, no matter what, this time the 28th Army has won a battle after all, we can't chill the hearts of the front-line soldiers, otherwise, in the name of the enemy's staff before the battle of Zhejiang-Fujian, we will issue a set of summer clothes to the officers and soldiers participating in the battle, right?" ”

The summer dress of the Haiphong Corps is a short-sleeved shirt on the top, shorts on the bottom, and a pair of rubber-soled canvas shoes.

Zhong Yi asked Siming to rush to the clothing factory to produce 60,000 sets of summer clothes, which were originally prepared for the officers and soldiers of the Coastal Defense Corps, and each officer and soldier had two sets of summer clothes, so now there are ready-made ones in the warehouse.

He Wenxi meant to take out 30,000 sets and distribute them to the officers and soldiers of the 28th Army.

Seeing that Zhong Yi was silent, He Wenxi said again: "Attend, the coastal defense corps will issue a set of summer clothes for the time being, and it will not be too late to distribute the second set when the clothing factory comes out." ”

Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Take out all 60,000 sets of summer clothes and give one to each member of the Tenth Army." ”

"Huh? 60,000 sets for the Tenth Army? He Wenxi was stunned and said, "What about the coastal defense corps?" ”

Zhong Yi said: "The officers and men of the Coastal Defense Corps are wearing spring and autumn clothes, although it is hot, but it is not unbearable, but many officers and soldiers of the Tenth Group Army are still wearing winter clothes, and they are sweating when they move, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke. ”

"Winter clothes?" He Wenxi was stunned and said, "The officers and soldiers of the Tenth Group are still wearing winter clothes? ”

"Yes, so they need summer clothes more." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "In addition, each of the officers and soldiers of the 28th Army will be given an enamel cup!" The officers and men of the 62nd Division will also be given an extra blanket! ”

Enamel cups and blankets are all good things, and they are even more essential for soldiers.

The enamel cup can hold both water and rice, and it is easy to carry and not easily damaged.

The blanket is a good thing, which can not only keep out the cold, but also can be used for packing, which is easy to carry and lightweight.

He Wenxi proposed again: "The 62nd Division Independent Regiment is the first merit this time, do you want to give an additional reward?" ”

"There must be an extra reward." Zhong Yi nodded, and said, "In this way, all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment of the 62nd Division, in addition to an enamel cup and a blanket, will each be awarded ten oceans of vouchers!" With this voucher, they can go to Yinjiang Small Commodities Market to buy any goods of equivalent value! ”

He Wenxi then asked: "Do you want to add more bonuses to the officers?" ”

"No, we can't control other battlefields, but the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield is not specialized." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "But what you said reminded me that the distribution of reward materials this time can no longer be the same as the distribution of food, and must be distributed to every officer and soldier by our people, not through the hands of officers!" ”

After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Especially the equivalent voucher." ”

"Okay." He Wenxi said, "I'll arrange it." ”
