Chapter 1022: Capture and Sacrifice

"Commander Liu, I hope you can give me a plausible explanation, otherwise I must truthfully report the details of this operation to the Theater Command." It was the first time that the lieutenant general of the army, who had taken a lot of benefits from Liu Lang, had spoken so harshly to Liu Lang, which also showed his anger at the independent regiment for not leaving a living mouth.

"Sir Zeng, the explanation I can give you is a tooth for a tooth, how did the little devils in the southeast battlefield treat our army's parachutist pilots? Not only the anti-aircraft guns on the ground can shoot, but also the planes in the air, and my pilot died in the line of duty, and I don't know how much it is to tell the beasts about the convention and human nature, isn't it a joke? Liu Lang's response on the phone was equally tough.

Zhou Dapeng, who was already on the front line in Songhu, sent a telegram saying that he hated the most brutal act of the Japanese in the Songhu battlefield of shooting and killing parachuting pilots, but as many as 15 members of the Aviation Volunteer Army died at the brutality of the Japanese army.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Langshi, as a general of the First Army, couldn't turn his whole regiment into a cold-blooded person like the Japanese invaders, he would have personally ordered to be shot a long time ago. Although the final initiator was Zhao Ergou, it was also caused by his connivance.

The lieutenant general was speechless for a while. Liu Lang said this right, if the Japanese invader can do the first year of junior high school, he will naturally be able to do fifteen, I am afraid that if he really wants to use this to argue to the theater headquarters, except for a few high-ranking officials, I am afraid that most people will think that he is at a loss.

"I said Brother Liu! If we can capture the enemy pilots alive, it will be of great benefit to us in terms of propaganda and public opinion and in seeking solidarity with our country from the Western and international worlds. We must start from the overall situation and be less presumptuous! The lieutenant general can only use this reason to explain his anger at this moment.

By the way, I gave myself a step down. The meaning is clearly that he blamed Liu Lang for the sake of the overall situation, not because of anything else.

"Commander Zeng, rest assured, what you need, I have sent someone to escort the front line headquarters, and I will never delay the big thing." Liu Lang finally gave the army commander a face.

Shot the pilot prisoners he needed, but sent him 6 living cavalry wing prisoners.

When he heard that Liu Lang had sent such a heavy gift, and he also directly asked himself on the phone not to ask for credit from the war zone and crown the brilliant achievements of the 28th Cavalry Wing and the shooting down of 5 Japanese planes on the heads of all the officers and men on the front line of Niangziguan, the lieutenant general of the army was overjoyed and at the same time inexplicably admired Liu Lang.

He knew very well in his heart that Liu Lang was just a colonel, but with two Blue Sky and White Sun medals on his body, it was only a matter of time before he was promoted to a general. This battle alone was enough to promote him to major general on the spot. But he did not hesitate to divide the merits of the battle on the heads of tens of thousands of soldiers on the entire Niangziguan front, this kind of mind is extremely rare.

It's hard to admire it or not!

It is understandable for the lieutenant general of the army to think like this, and whoever gives up his monstrous military exploits is a broad-minded person. It's just that he still doesn't understand Liu Tuanzuo after all. For a certain group seat who can take more green onions and will never take leeks, will it be easy to give up the battle merits?

It's just that this time the battlefield is very different, in the face of tens of thousands of Japanese invaders armed to the teeth and planes to help, the 386th Brigade and the 17th Division that the Independent Regiment and he have contacted are not enough to resist, he needs to unite all the friendly forces that can be united. Just sending a few submachine guns and ammunition is not enough to make others live and die with you, but as long as you take this great favor, it will be very different.

Chinese, whether you admit it or not, from ancient times to the present, are a society where personal feelings are paramount.

Of course, compared with winning favors, the most important thing is to keep a low profile. The rafters that come out first rot first, Liu Lang doesn't want to be promoted as a star by public opinion at the beginning of the all-out war, and become the target of both the enemy and us. Love, the more high-key the show of affection, the faster it will die, and war can only live longer if it is low-key. Throughout China and abroad, the combat units that are praised as stars are ultimately the ones with the heaviest casualties. And this war has just begun, and there are still I don't know how many years to fight, and even if history does not change because of his arrival, it will take a full 8 years.

Admiration is admiration, but the lieutenant general of the army is not ambiguous at all, and a sprinkling report is freshly baked and sent to the theater headquarters dozens of miles away with the prisoners of war.

The 28th Cavalry Wing and the five destroyed Japanese planes that were wiped out on the Jiuguan front became the result of the full assistance of nearly 40,000 troops on the Niangzi Pass front, from Xuehuashan to Jiuguan, from the 17th Division to the Third Army and then to the Independent Regiment.

Don't say it, but in this way, things become a lot more reasonable, not so shocking. Tens of thousands of troops surrounded and killed hundreds of Japanese soldiers, plus all the antiaircraft guns and machine guns of the whole army, and shot down five Japanese planes, which was naturally just a piece of cake.

It can be said that this conclusion is the best for both the entire Jindong Theater Command and the Niangziguan Front Command. This is not only a victory on the Niangziguan front, but also a victory in the Jindong Theater, and even, a victory in the entire Second Theater, and a victory for the whole of China.

After the investigation by the commissioner sent by General Huang, more than 200 Japanese corpses, a pile of stumps that were basically indistinguishable, and a pile of captured Japanese cavalry standard rifles could be determined to belong to the 28th Cavalry Wing. Coupled with the confession of Captain Fukina Endo of the Japanese Cavalry Wing, who had long lost all fighting spirit and just wanted to live, the 28th Cavalry Wing had been completely annihilated.

As for the earth-shattering bombardment described by Captain Endo Fukina in extreme horror, the commanders at all levels from top to bottom in the second theater tacitly ignored it.

And the more than 500 tall horses of the 28th Cavalry Wing were not asked, as if they had all been forgotten.

Even after the reporters accompanying the army took pictures of the light and heavy machine guns and rifles from the 28th Cavalry Wing that were seized and piled up in the square for posing, an infantry platoon sent by the Independent Regiment then swaggered and loaded the trucks and pulled them away.

How is it possible to want the horse to run and not to eat grass at the same time?

Although these guns were not placed in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, the 386 Brigade wanted them! The three intact Type 92 heavy machine guns were directly assigned to the 772nd Regiment, and even the parts and components of the heavy machine guns that were blown up were collected and inspected by the officers and men of the 772nd Regiment for later use. Of the 24 crutch light machine guns equipped with the 28th Cavalry Wing, 12 were still usable, 6 were left in the 772nd Regiment, 6 were sent back to the 386th Brigade Headquarters in Qiqian Village, and the rest of the mortar bombardment was also sent to the Ordnance Department of the Brigade Headquarters for overhaul. And the light machine guns and rifles that were completely blown to slag along with the Japanese army on the top of Jiuguan Mountain can only become the dust of history.

The artillery fire was so fierce that even the steel could not support it, and it was basically deformed and scrapped.

There are 203 rifles that can still be used, and more than 500 war horses are all exchanged with the brigade headquarters. Infantry rifles with a short barrel were not suitable for infantry, but they were well suited for the formation of cavalry units. Even if the 772 regiment wants to stay, it can't stay.

As a long-range weapon, the Japanese grenadier is the most complete of the captured weapons, the 28th Cavalry Wing's 24 grenadiers, 17 are intact, and the 772nd Regiment also kept half of it and handed over half of it. As for saying that half can't be rounded, the 772 regiment naturally belongs to itself and is rounded, but on this point, the front-line commanders will settle accounts, and they will never suffer anyway.

is the largest head captured, a complete Type 92 infantry gun, Regiment Commander Ye wanted to keep it for himself, but he was scolded by the future general on the phone. The entire 386 Brigade has only a few mortars to support the façade, and the captured infantry guns and the more than 30 shells that the Japanese have not had time to shoot can be regarded as the big killers of the entire 386 Brigade.

But in any case, the 772nd Regiment made a lot of money in this battle, and the three heavy machine guns, six light machine guns, and nine grenadiers were all evenly distributed among the three infantry battalions, and the firepower was fully strengthened by two percent.

As for the Japanese-style 6.5mm machine rifle bullets, in addition to the captured part, Liu Tuanzuo promised to add another part. In this battle, the three infantry battalions of the 772nd Regiment not only fought well, but also suffered losses of their own.

In this battle, don't look at the use of superior forces and superior firepower to completely annihilate the 28th Cavalry Wing, but the 772nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment are not damaged at all.

Of the officers and soldiers who participated in this battle, 33 were killed and 36 wounded in the three infantry battalions of the 772nd Regiment; Among them, 9 people were suffocated and suffocated by aerial bombs dropped by Japanese planes in a desperate fight, hitting the soil in the tunnel; The 1st Infantry Battalion of the Independent Regiment killed 3 people and wounded 9 people; The guard platoon of the Independent Regiment killed 2 people and wounded 4 people; The artillery battalion of the Separate Regiment lost 8 killed and 15 wounded.

But their sacrifice was exchanged for 452 men of the 28th Cavalry Wing, 446 dead, and 6 prisoners. Five Japanese planes were shot down, and five Japanese pilots were killed.

Even if one of the positions of the Third Army was also hit by aerial bombs, 32 people were killed and 45 people were wounded, 32 people were killed and wounded in three villages by fleeing Japanese planes, 28 villagers were killed and wounded on the way, and the total number of Chinese soldiers and civilians killed and wounded in Jindong reached 215, but compared with the results of the battle, the battle loss ratio also reached 1:2, and this battle can be regarded as a brilliant victory.

The confirmed battle report was quickly transmitted to the Second Theater Command in Taiyuan, Shanxi, to the presidential residence in Nanjing, which was in a state of anxiety over the battle of Songhu in a meat grinder.

"The glorious victory of our army in Shanxi and Jindong."

"The fall of the 28th Cavalry Wing."

"The sorrow of the 20th Japanese Division."

The headlines on the front pages of the major domestic media and newspapers exhausted the headlines, rendering this insignificant tactical victory in Jindong, China, and the Songhu battlefield, where nearly 1 million troops had been invested by both sides.

Whether it is the streets of the Shanghai Concession where the sound of artillery is rumbling and the smoke of gunpowder is filled, or the alleys of Nanjing, where the guards are heavily guarded, or the panic of the people, or the people of Hankou who enthusiastically took to the streets to donate money to join the army, the sound of the newsboy shouting "victory" at the top of his voice is endless.

At present, China has been defeated in successive battles in the northern battlefield, and the formed units in the southeastern battlefield have been destroyed under the bombardment of Japanese naval guns and aircraft, but there is no hope of victory.

Whether it is the military or the people, a victory is too needed to boost morale.

Even if it's just a small wave.

In the constantly shaking carriage, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at the name of the independent regiment that was submerged in the many number of troops, and bent two strings of crescent.

She knew that as long as there was him, there would be victory.
