Chapter 271: Go in person
"Extra...... Extra ...... The 348th Brigade of the 202nd Division of the National Revolutionary Army regained Jiujiang this morning and killed more than 4,380 Japanese troops under him, including the commander of the Japanese garrison of the enemy chieftain and the Japanese army under him. ”
"Extra...... Extra ...... Chief He of the Ministry of Military Affairs announced to the compatriots across the country today in the building of the Ministry of Military Affairs that the recovery of Jiujiang is only the first step in the Chinese War of Resistance, and then **** will continue to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army until all the Japanese invaders are driven out of China! ”
On June 7, 1939, a sudden news spread to all parts of the country along with newspapers in various places, and the 202nd Division once again entered the attention of the people of the whole country.
"Smack......
A newspaper was slammed on the table, and Su Jin, who was full of anger, couldn't help but scold on the spot: "The Ministry of Military Affairs is roasting me on the fire!" He Yingqin really thought that if he did this, I would be stupid to defend Jiujiang, it really annoyed me, believe it or not, I immediately asked Li Wei to withdraw the army, and Lao Tzu will not serve him anymore! ”
Zhou Yusheng looked helplessly at the furious persuasion: "Master, this matter is obviously what it means, Minister He is just a black pot, why should you be angry with him?" ”
Su Jin said coldly: "Then I don't care, anyway, since his surname He put me on the fire to roast, then he must be prepared to turn his face with me, I won't take the life and death of tens of thousands of brothers as a child's play because of his words!" ”
"Chief Xue has arrived!"
As the sound of the door sounded, Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi, who were dressed in military uniforms, strode into the battle hall, and his eyes swept away. Then he strode in front of Su Jin and the others, and said in an apologetic tone.
"Think twice, I didn't know that Minister He would announce the news at this time. But it makes you embarrassed, but he is also thinking about the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War. Since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we have lost cities and lands one after another, and even the capital has been lost one after another, and the National War of Resistance has fallen into a low ebb. But it made you feel wronged. ”
Su Jin shook his head helplessly: "Chief Xue, it's okay if I am a little wronged, but I can't put tens of thousands of brothers in the 348th Brigade into a desperate situation just because of Shangfeng's words." and my newly formed armored regiment, which is the heart and soul of the department, how can I just throw them in Nanchang for nothing. ”
Xue Yue was silent for a while, and then smiled helplessly: "Think twice." I didn't expect that. You can toss out an armored regiment quietly, you are the only one among millions of ****! ”
Su Jin knew that this thing couldn't be hidden from someone with a heart at all, and he happily admitted: "Chief Xue, the reason why the department was able to form that armored regiment was all because of those two Germans. The German father and wife were originally the elite of the German armored forces, but they had to live in Shanghai because of their relationship with the Jews, and it happened that the German and Chi Yu were classmates, so they were deceived by the ministry to the 202nd Division. ”
Xue Yue was not confused by Su Jin's performance, but pointed to the core of the question and said, "What about those German tanks and armored vehicles? You wouldn't say it was the German father and daughter, would you? There were no German tanks. Those two Germans can't conjure up an armored regiment even if they are immortals? ”
Looking at Xue Yue's smiling face, Su Jin naturally knew that his little trick couldn't hide from this big guy in the Nine War Zone. He spread his hands and said, "These things were all brought by the department at a high price, and that's all there is to it." ”
Seeing that Su Jin looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, Xue Yue was also angry. Pointing at Su Jin, he was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he smile and scold Wu Yizhi beside him: "Look...... You see...... As if he was afraid that we would swallow his armored regiment, this kid put on such a wolf-proof posture. Don't worry, we won't want your armored regiment, and even if we do, we won't need it! ”
"Hey...... The ministry naturally knows. Su Jin laughed, he naturally knew that there were people from the political department such as Zhao Manlu and Liao Liping who helped to report the news, and the matter of Fred's father and daughter naturally couldn't be hidden for long. And as soon as his armored regiment comes out, it will naturally arouse the coveting of others, but he dares to make an armored regiment, and naturally he is not afraid of others beating his idea.
A mechanized armored regiment is no better than other things, don't look at the armored troops fighting, it is the rumbling of artillery and majestic, but if you want to raise such a force, what you need to consume on weekdays, it is the sea. Not to mention the massive amount of oil and ammunition, without the support of the endless supply of spare parts on weekdays, those majestic-looking steel monsters would turn into a pile of scrap metal.
Therefore, even if Shangfeng forcibly snatches the armored regiment and takes it away, it won't be long before those tanks and armored vehicles will lie on the ground and can't move because they have no accessories.
"You......"
Xue Yuechang spit out a mouthful of turbidity in his chest, and shook his head helplessly, this guy is really hateful sometimes. However, he can also understand Su Jin's mood, originally the attack on Jiujiang was just a whim of Su Jin for a training operation, it is good to be able to defeat Jiujiang, and it is nothing if he can't beat it, but because some people above have a big stroke of the pen, this battle has become a matter of **** face, after such a statement was made, if Su Jin lost Jiujiang, then there would be a reason to hit him.
After calming down a bit, Xue Yue asked with a straight face: "Think twice, tell me honestly, since you have taken Jiujiang now, you don't have the confidence to hold it?" ”
"Nope!" Su Jin replied very humbly, "The importance of Jiujiang, Chief Xue, you don't know it, taking Jiujiang is equivalent to stabbing the ass of the Eleventh Army, Okamura Ningji is a turtle and will be angry, he will definitely recapture Jiujiang at all costs." The 348th Brigade can't hold it even if it's all gone. ”
"You can't just say something nice!" Even Wu Yizhi, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't stand Su Jin's tone of speech anymore, so he opened his mouth and scolded with a smile.
Su Jin shook his head: "Chief Wu, it's not that the ministry is talkative, but that's the truth." If Shangfeng really wants to hold Jiujiang, then he must be prepared to fight with the Japanese, and he can't even think about it without more than two group armies. You see, now it's just for the sake of a brigade in the team, Okamura Ningji, an old devil, has sent two elite divisions, if he really gets red-eyed, he will definitely not be stingy to continue to send more troops, and then it will definitely cause a big battle between the Ninth Theater and the Eleventh Army, and if it is not good, the Third Theater will also be involved, and there is no guarantee what the division will be like at that time. ”
Hearing this, Xue Yue and Wu Yizhi glanced at each other, with a solemn look in their eyes. Su Jin said that they naturally thought about this situation, to be honest, they also disapprove of these small actions made by Chongqing, in fact, what Chongqing should do is not to say anything, wait for the development of things, anyway, this matter is a brigade matter, whether Jiujiang can be taken is not so important, but after the Ministry of Military Affairs is so mixed, things will turn sour, not only makes Su Jin wary of Chongqing, but also makes a general with tens of thousands of heavy troops dissatisfied, no matter how you look at it, it is a failure.
However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but since the superiors have made instructions, he naturally has to obey. After a long groan, Xue Yue asked again: "Think twice, I know that you are a little dissatisfied with Shangfeng's action, but as soldiers, we should make some sacrifices at a time when the country and nation are at stake." What I want to know now is what are you going to do now that Shangfeng has already announced this? ”
Su Jin patted his head with some distress, and said with a wry smile: "Chief Xue, that's what the department thinks, isn't the seventy-fourth army already rushing to Jiujiang now?" After the 74th Army arrived at Jiujiang, the staff department ordered the 348th Brigade to hand over Jiujiang to the 74th Army, and the staff department would rush to Jiujiang to personally lead the 348th Brigade and the armored regiment to fight the Japanese army on the periphery of Jiujiang to relieve the pressure on Jiujiang! ”
"You're going in person?" Xue Yue thought about it for a while, and finally nodded slowly, "Okay, since you have this confidence, then go ahead." It's just that with only one 348th Brigade, is your strength a little less? ”
Su Jin smiled: "It's a little less, so the ministry plans to bring the supplementary brigade and artillery regiment to strengthen the periphery of the troops, as for the city defense of Nanchang, it can only be defended by the 347th Brigade." ”
"That's good!" Xue Yue nodded helplessly, now he has no better way, he understands the worry in Su Jin's heart. Once the 74th Army arrives in Jiujiang, judging from the character of Wang Yaowu, the commander of the 74th Army, there is a good chance that 9 out of 10 will not watch such a strong force as the 348th Brigade sway in front of him and not be moved. But the 348th Brigade is not easy to mess with, many officers and officers in this brigade are bandits brought out by this guy from Erlong Mountain in front of them, except for Su Jin, no one is convinced, if the 74th Army acts rashly, there is really a possibility of mutiny, if it really makes such a move, I am afraid that Okamura Ningji will be able to laugh off his big teeth.
The temper of the soldier is naturally to do what he says, and after making a decision, Su Jin began to prepare. One after another, orders began to be issued, and the supplementary brigade stationed in the east of the city, the medical brigade in the city, the guard battalion, the heavy artillery regiment, and other troops began to move.
"What...... You're going to the front again? Just as Su Jin returned to his residence to prepare, Xiao Yu, who was preparing lunch for the whole family at home, was taken aback, and then pouted.
"Brother Su, I'm going too, I'll be your adjutant!"
"This ......"
Su Jin looked at Xiao Yu's eager eyes, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xiao Yu, this time we are going to fight a tough battle with the Japanese, and it is dangerous for you to follow me." (To be continued.) )
