Chapter 1291 - Energized Commendation

Leng Tiefeng and Chen Yuangui have been found, Xu Rui handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to the fifth battalion, and then ordered the sixth battalion to do a good job of guarding the direction of Suzhou and Kunshan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But it's one thing for the little devils to dare to take risks, it's another thing for them to be vigilant or not, in history, after a big victory, there have been countless examples of victory and defeat due to negligence, so at any time, it is very necessary to strengthen vigilance, and Xu Rui will not make such a mistake.

Soon, Xu Rui and his entourage returned to the Broadway Building.

Leng Tiefeng and Chen Yuangui were directly sent to the field hospital, while the members of the Wolf Tooth Brigade rushed to the canteen to prepare for a big meal, a real big meal! The cafeteria of the Broadway Building specially prepared a sumptuous meal for the officers and soldiers of the military division who returned from victory, braised pork and rice, and it was enough!

Xu Rui also rushed into the cafeteria with the members of the Wolf Tooth Brigade.

Since the battle began five days ago, Xu Rui has either stayed on the side of the Songhu Military Division, or stayed on the side of the little devil, he has not come down from the position to rest for a day, and all he eats is rice balls, and sometimes because of the tight combat mission, he can't even eat rice balls, so he can only go hungry!

Therefore, Xu Rui was also hungry.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, as soon as he smelled the smell of braised pork, Xu Rui's stomach growled.

The belly of the sweet potato screamed louder than Xu Rui, and he ran faster than Xu Rui, don't look at him small, but the action was extremely numb, a pop got into the crack of the person, the first one grabbed the window of the rice, and then handed the huge enamel rice jar, and the old army leader of the rice first hit a big spoonful of rice in the big enamel rice jar of the sweet potato, not to mention how much it weighed a catty! Then, scoop a large spoonful of braised pork from a large basin full of braised pork and cover it over the rice.

The sweet potato licked his lips and shouted, "Old pig, add some, add some more to me." ”

The old soldier of the cooking class is surnamed Zhu, and he is also a veteran stranded in Shanghai, but because of his leg injury, he can't go to the battlefield anymore, so he stays in the headquarters as a guy.

The old pig smiled, and really scooped half a spoonful of braised pork from the basin and put it into the rice bowl of sweet potato.

The sweet potato walked away with an enamel rice jar that was almost as big as his head, sat in the corner of the dining room, and ate deliciously, while eating, he still sighed in his heart, degenerate, since he became a soldier, he is really degenerate, a few years ago in Shanghai, which meal is not a restaurant to eat?

But now, a meal of braised pork can make you happy for a long time.

After eating, the sweet potato went back to his dormitory and fell asleep.

Xu Rui was also very sleepy, but he still couldn't sleep after eating, because there was still a lot of work waiting for him, although the battle was over, there was still aftermath work, such as the distribution of pensions for the fallen soldiers, such as the medical arrangements for the wounded soldiers, and the distribution of weapons and equipment and trophies, all of which required him as a commander.

When he walked into the office, Xu Rui found that Wang Husheng was already waiting for him.

Wang Husheng first said with a solemn expression: "Lao Xu, Lao Xie has already decided to sacrifice. ”

Xu Rui had already been mentally prepared for this, and asked at the moment: "Has Lao Xie's body been found?" ”

"Found it." Wang Husheng nodded and said, "It's in the square of the Fudan University Library." ”

"After the cremation, send someone to send Lao Xie's ashes back to his hometown in Meizhou." Xu Rui paused at this point, and then continued, "Limited to the conditions, the ashes of the rest of the fallen soldiers will not be sent one by one, and they will be scattered into the Huangpu River on the spot!" These soldiers died defending Shanghai, and it was best to let them rest in the Huangpu River. ”

Wang Husheng nodded and said, "Okay, then send an obituary to the military sub-district party committee." ”

"You can arrange this." Xu Rui sat down and poured himself a glass of boiling water, and asked, "What about the casualties?" ”

Wang Husheng turned his gaze to Liu Mei, Liu Mei sighed, and said with a gloomy expression: "Commander, although the 20th Division of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated by us this time, in order to win this battle, our Songhu Military Division is also broken, so far, the number of dead has exceeded 3,000, and more than 1,000 people are missing. ”

Under normal circumstances, there are only two possibilities, one is to be a deserter, and the other is to be buried alive by the collapsed buildings, so the body cannot be found, or simply let the large-caliber naval artillery shells of the devil navy be blown apart, and a complete body has not been found.

Xu Rui believes that deserters are unlikely, these veterans are all veterans of the national army who participated in the first Battle of Songhu, and they are all iron men who were killed from the sea of corpses and blood, even if they die, it is absolutely impossible to escape! Therefore, the more than 1,000 veterans of the National Army who have disappeared have also sacrificed their lives for the country!

Not only that, but these veterans didn't even have their bones left!

For the sake of the country and the nation, it is embarrassing to say that such a sacrifice is so great.

At that moment, Xu Rui said bitterly: "Lao Wang, immediately recruit people from the refugees in the concession, and comprehensively clean up the Jiangwan battlefield and the Luodian battlefield, especially the Jiangwan battlefield, we must recover the bones of the fallen officers and soldiers as much as possible, we can't let them sacrifice for the country, but they still have to go missing, and they can't even get the name of a martyr." ”

According to the regulations, because the suspicion of desertion cannot be ruled out, the disappearance cannot be reported to the martyrs.

In other words, when the martyrs' monument is built in the future, the names of these missing people cannot be engraved for future generations to pay respects.

Although these veterans who sacrificed their lives for the country may not care about the names of the martyrs, they have great love in their hearts, and they are willing to be unsung heroes for the country and the nation, but as the commander of these soldiers, Xu Rui can't care less, he must correct the name of his subordinates as much as possible, which is what he should do.

"Okay." Wang Husheng nodded heavily.

Liu Mei said again: "In addition, there are more than 2,000 soldiers who are particularly seriously injured, and even if they finally recover from their injuries, I am afraid that it is unlikely to go to the battlefield!" Therefore, this part of the figure should also be counted in the permanent attrition. ”

Wang Husheng said: "That is to say, even if all the lightly wounded in the hospital are recovered and returned to the team, there will be only 9,000 troops left in our military division, and even less. ”

Liu Mei nodded and said, "That's basically the case." ”

Xu Rui also frowned slightly when he heard this, this number was a bit unexpected to him.

If there are only more than 9,000 officers and men left, it will be absolutely impossible to hold Shanghai for five years!

Xu Rui had a rough calculation that if you want to hold Shanghai for at least five years and persist until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you need at least 30,000 troops, and it can only be more, not less! Xu Rui originally thought that there were at least 30,000 veterans of the Nationalist Army stranded in Shanghai, so it would be enough to select a group of young and strong people from among the refugees in Shanghai.

But he didn't expect that the number of veterans of the Nationalist Army stranded in Shanghai was less than half of what he expected, and after two battles, nearly half of the more than 15,000 veterans had been killed or wounded, and now there are only more than 9,000 left! With only the current strength, it is absolutely impossible to win the third, fourth, or even fifth Battle of Songhu in a row!

Xu Rui asked again: "Lao Wang, have all the veterans of the National Army stranded in Shanghai returned?" ”

"They're basically back on the team." Wang Husheng nodded, and said, "The reason why there is a big difference from our expected number is because we have ignored an important issue, that is, death!" After the defeat of the First Battle of Songhu, these veterans were directly abandoned on the battlefield, and although they all entered the concession in the end, only a small part of them were really treated, and most of the wounded died of illness due to lack of medical treatment. ”

Xu Rui said: "Of the hundreds of thousands of wounded, only more than 10,000 survived, less than 20,000? ”

Wang Husheng sighed: "More than 100,000 wounded, it is good to survive more than 10,000." ”

Xu Rui nodded and said: "In this case, the conscription plan must be carried out in advance, otherwise, even if you barely win the third battle of Songhu, when the little devil comes over for the fourth time, Shanghai will definitely be lost, and if you recruit now, after the third battle of Songhu, these recruits will just become elders." ”

Wang Husheng said: "I think so too, the conscription plan really needs to be launched in advance. ”

"And female soldiers!" Liu Mei suddenly interjected and said, "Actually, we female soldiers can't only do some auxiliary work, if we are allowed to participate in training and then give us weapons, we female soldiers can also go to the battlefield to fight devils!" And I firmly believe that our female soldiers will definitely not do any worse than your male soldiers! ”

Wang Husheng didn't believe it, but Xu Rui nodded heavily: "I believe this!" ”

Xu Rui is truly convinced, because in the US-Vietnam War, and even in China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the US military and the Chinese People's Liberation Army suffered all the hardships of Vietnamese female soldiers! Therefore, if more than a million women in Shanghai can be armed, it will definitely become a terrible nightmare that the little devils will not get rid of.

Of course, this is not something that can be done overnight.

It takes a lot of time to recruit and train!

But, at least, don't worry about the shortage of soldiers!

At the moment, Xu Rui's mood was a little better, and he said: "Let's talk about something happy, no matter what, this time we have completely annihilated the 20th Division of Little Japan, after this defeat, Little Japan will not send troops to come again within half a month, which means that we have at least half a month of rest and preparation time." ”

"There's good news." Wang Husheng also said with a smile, "Chairman Jiang has been rewarded again." ”

"It's another power-up reward." Xu Rui pursed his lips and said, "Chairman Jiang can't come to something practical?" ”

"Lao Xu, you are really wrong this time." Wang Husheng said: "This time, Chairman Chiang is not just talking, but also rewarding us with some weapons, equipment, and funds. ”
