Chapter 292: Is It Anything Different?
The result of the Battle of Taierzhuang was a surprise to many people. So much so that after the good news came out, even many people couldn't believe it. From the battles of Songhu and Jinling, it seems that the defeated are all the national troops, and this is the first time that the Japanese army has failed in attack.
For many Japanese troops invading China, the defeat in the Battle of Taierzhuang was not only a loss in the number of troops, but more importantly, a spiritual defeat, and the myth of the so-called 'invincible imperial army' was shattered.
The most important thing is that with the victory of the Battle of Taierzhuang, the government politically strengthened the confidence of the military and the people of the whole country in the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, boosted the morale of the troops of the War of Resistance, and proved that the 'theory of the death of the country' was groundless with the facts of victory.
As the commander-in-chief of the theater, Li Zongren defeated the arrogant and invincible Japanese enemy with a weak division, which further illustrated that as long as they were united, sincerely united, desperately resisted, and fought hard in the Chinese War of Resistance, the army and the people were invincible.
The news of Taierzhuang's victory reached Shanghai, and many people in Shanghai were jubilant and rushed to tell each other. On the other hand, many foreigners staying in the concession feel that this may be a small trick played by the government to enhance political prestige and unite the people's hearts.
It wasn't until the detailed data about the Taierzhuang victory came out that these foreigners, who thought that the government would be defeated, suddenly realized that the Japanese army did not seem to be as strong as they imagined. The anti-Japanese war troops in China were not as weak as they imagined.
Some countries that had previously been reluctant to provide military aid to their governments suddenly felt that it might be a good political investment if they provided war loans or military aid to their governments. This also shows that if you want others to help, you must also show that you have the value of being saved.
If it continues to lose, the government will be very difficult to apply for foreign military aid and loans. Now that we have finally won a battle that makes the world feel proud of our eyebrows, it can also change the impression of some countries that the government is weak and can be bullied.
Compared with the rejoicing of the Nationalist Government and the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army, which lost on the battlefield for the first time, naturally seemed a little angry. Both the Central China Front and the North China Front received reprimand telegrams from the cabinet ministers of the domestic military ministry.
Not to mention the accusation that the two front armies did not make a good overall battle plan, he also ordered the two front armies to transfer more elite troops to break through the fortifications set up by the national army on the front line of Taierzhuang as quickly as possible, and capture Xuzhou as soon as possible.
The so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, and the Japanese army, which has just lost a division in Taierzhuang, naturally needs more preparations if it wants to launch a full-scale offensive again. What worries the Japanese army the most is that the air force strength of the Nationalist Army is recovering.
Once the air supremacy is lost, it will inevitably cause even heavier losses to the attacking Japanese army. In the face of the military aid provided by the Soviet Union to the Nationalist Government, the Fuso government was also very annoyed, but it knew that the Soviet Union would not bird them at all.
The Japanese army that forcibly occupied the three eastern provinces knew very well that the Soviet Union had always wanted to get involved in the interests of the three eastern provinces. In order to prevent the expansion and attack of the Soviet Far East Army, the Kwantung Army formed by the Japanese army in the northeast was specially used to deal with the powerful Soviet Far East Army.
Staying in Yicheng Mountain to sit and watch the surging Hu Biao and his entourage, they also knew that the Japanese army would make a comeback next, but they were afraid that the Fifth War Zone would only be able to resist step by step. Taierzhuang, which was almost destroyed earlier, thought that it would not be able to resist the Japanese attack again.
With the help of contacts with the military commanders, Hu Biao had a clearer understanding of the current war situation. It was learned that Lao Chiang had mobilized heavy troops from the rear and tried to take advantage of the great victory in Taierzhuang to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Japanese army attacking Xuzhou again.
Hu Biao, who learned the news, finally shook his head and said: "The ambition of our commissioner is really not small, and if we win a battle, we feel that the Japanese army is all white-faced steamed buns and can let them pinch them casually." If we increase our troops, how can the Japanese army not increase its troops? ”
Looking at the troop deployment map constantly marked on the map, according to some of the anti-Japanese war process known in his previous life, Hu Biao knew very well that the Battle of Xuzhou was a defeat for both sides. The Japanese army took Xuzhou, but also paid a heavy price.
The troops of the Nationalist Army who participated in the battle, even if they achieved a lot of achievements, could be said to have suffered greater losses than the Japanese army. In general, compared with the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Jinling, this time the national army still made people feel bright and achieved an exciting victory.
Remembering the incident of the Yellow River estuary bursting that he had heard about in his previous life, Hu Biao didn't know where the embankment burst was. Replacing the army with water ended up displacing the people. The price paid for such a way of blocking is extremely heavy.
Even if he knew about it, Hu Biao still understood that if history repeats itself, he is also powerless to stop it. The reason is very simple, if this order is really given by Lao Jiang, then there are definitely not many people who know about this order.
Even in later generations, some people still think that it was not Lao Chiang's order to blow up the Yellow River embankment to block the pursuit of the Japanese army, but was caused by the bombing of Japanese fighters. At such a time, even if you know, who dares to say that Lao Jiang has done something wrong?
The purpose of blowing up the Yellow River embankment was to block the pursuing troops of the Japanese army and ensure the safety of Zhengzhou and other places. Lao Chiang, who really let the Japanese army attack on a large scale and was about to withdraw to the mountain city to accompany the capital, was afraid that it would be difficult to resist the Japanese army attacking along the way.
Hu Biao, who thought about this, could only sigh in the end: "This is really an era of life!" ”
As the mother river of the Chinese nation, it will lose its shackles from time to time, bringing disasters to the people on both sides of the river. The military disaster and the flooding will be enough to make the people in the Yellow Flood area have no place to live in the next few years.
Hu Biao, who realized this, felt that he might be able to do something about it. Even if it can't stop the flooding of the Yellow River, or the Yellow River floodplain, it will not be taken seriously by the authorities for a long time, and the people there will also embark on the road to escape.
Later, there was a well-known director who filmed '1942', which tells the story of this history. If we can establish a base area in the Yellow Flood area in advance and store more grain, we may be able to save more lives.
Hu Biao, who had this decision, also secretly remembered this matter. What he has to do now is still to fight the little devils and accumulate more strength and funds. The amount of money required to help refugees is undoubtedly enormous.
Seeing that the wounds of the two injured who had undergone surgery earlier had healed and scabbed, Hu Biao finally decided to leave on the road. Before leaving, Hu Biao handed over a telegram written by himself to Lin Yashi and said: "Send it to the Eighth Route Army in encrypted form!" ”
Lin Yashi, who took the telegram, although she was a little curious about the content of the telegram, she still didn't ask much: "Okay!" ”
After the telegram was sent, Hu Biao burned the telegram again. Seeing this scene, Lin Yashi was also surprised and said, "Don't you want to archive?" Captain, I think you seem to be more friendly to the Eighth Route Army than to everyone else. ”
In the face of Lin Yashi's inquiry, Hu Biao did not deny it: "You have been to the base of the Eighth Route Army with me before, do you think the Eighth Route Army is different from the troops you have seen before?" ”
"If you want to say something different, there is! I really didn't expect that the generals of the Eighth Route Army ate no different food from the common people. I used to hear people say that the Eighth Route Army was poor, but I didn't expect them to be so poor. ”
Lin Yashi, who followed Hu Biao to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, also had a light meal at the headquarters. For her, the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, who never thought of it, was not as good as an ordinary landlord.
But what surprised her even more was that Hu Biao sighed: "Xiaoya, the day we went, the meal they invited us to eat was specially used to entertain distinguished guests. Usually, they eat even worse, which is a very admirable group of people.
Compared with those high-ranking officials of the Nationalist Government who stayed in the rear, no matter what the battle was like at the front, most of them were still drunk and dreaming of death. But the commanders of the Eighth Route Army are different, most of them are from poor families, and they know how miserable the people are.
In order not to increase the burden on the people, they can only tighten their belts to get by. Although their strength is not as good as that of the national army now, the hope for the future lies on their side. Give them a little more benefits, and let more people live a better life! ”
Regarding the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao didn't tell too many people around him. For Lin Yashi, it would be good if she had been following her. If she really wants to leave herself, it will be difficult for her to deal with herself in the future. The reason is, it is difficult for her to make a choice.
The eldest brother is a lieutenant colonel in the national army and is already the chief of staff of a main regiment. The second brother is now a battalion-level staff officer in the Eighth Route Army. No matter which side she stands, it will be difficult for Lin Yashi to make choices in the future, and only by following herself will she be freer.
Even Hu Biao has considered that after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he will find a way to persuade Lin Yashi's eldest brother to leave. In that case, Lin Yashi's second brother in the Eighth Route Army may have the possibility of greater progress.
The war has caused countless tragedies and deprived many families of the opportunity to reunite. As long as Lin Yashi does not abandon herself, Hu Biao will also try her best to ensure that Lin Yashi will not be harmed. Anyway, she's someone close to her.
There are some things, even if Hu Biao says it now, no one may believe it. If you want to have more say in the future, Hu Biao must also accumulate as much strength as possible. With strength, there is more capital to speak!
Even from beginning to end, Hu Biao never promised anything to Lin Yashi. But during the days of following Hu Biao, Lin Yashi could also feel that Hu Biao's care for her was improving. This feeling of being cared for and trusted also makes Lin Yashi very satisfied.
As long as you can be by Hu Biao's side, what does it matter if you don't confirm the relationship between lovers? At least for many soldiers in the special service company, in addition to being a confidential staff officer, Lin Yashi is also the captain's wife recognized by all the team members.
After making two stretchers, Hu Biao and his entourage took advantage of the night to leave the mountain again. And the place where Hu Biao is going this time has long been marked on the map. Xu Sandao, who was responsible for leading the way, also reconnoitred the marching route.
During this period, Pang Bingxun, who had been withdrawn to the rear to recuperate, including Li Zongren, who was still commanding the troops to fight, sent telegrams of inquiry to Hu Biao. As a result, Hu Biao, more often than not, only replied, and was still on the way to the march.
In fact, Hu Biao has been staying near Yicheng during this time, but no one knows. In this case, not to mention that the Japanese army could not find the remains of Hu Biao and his party, even if the national army or the military commander wanted to lock Hu Biao's position, it would be impossible to do it!
