Chapter 172: Cruelty and Humanity
The sky was drizzling and seemed to be crying. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSoon the rain stopped, the clouds cleared, and the sun smiled.
A fighter plane appeared in the sky, and there was no panic in the Japanese barracks, because they knew that it was an enemy reconnaissance plane carrying out reconnaissance and would not attack. In the past two months, the Japanese soldiers have become accustomed to the frequent appearance of enemy planes in the air and to being bombed. All the Japanese soldiers knew in their hearts that they would not be able to break through the enemy's defense line in the short term, and that the offensive on all fronts had now evolved into a key offensive, and the psychological pressure on the Japanese soldiers had been relieved.
In a military tent, Japanese soldiers rested on their bunks, and they were lucky to be alive and engaged in the battle last night. At this time, a senior soldier of a certain unit of the 17th Division, Yokoji Saburo, attached himself to the table to write a letter home, which was the first time Yokoji Saburo had written a letter home in two months. Yokoji Saburo was in his 40s and had fought in the Russo-Japanese War. After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, he retired from the army, and this time, the war mobilization order was issued in China, and his only son, who was only 18 years old, received a notice of enlistment. The cruelty of war, Yokoji Saburo naturally knows how powerful it is.
Licking the calf, Yokoji Saburo went out of fatherly love for his son. After all, he is a veteran, and his experience of brutal battles has kept him alive and unwounded. Yokoji Saburo trembled with his pen, and it seemed that a tragic battle was emerging in front of him.
In his heart to his wife, he described it this way: ?????? The battle was unprecedentedly fierce, the enemy soldiers fought bloodily, and the soldiers around them left one by one. After two months of fierce fighting, our squad has been replenished with 8 young soldiers, and 5 of the original veterans have returned to their hometowns. There seems to be no end to the brutal fighting, and morale continues to be low. For the sake of the Emperor and for the glory of the Great Japanese Empire, being ready to sacrifice one's life at any time was the only option?????。 “
Soon, Yokoji Saburo's letter was returned, and an officer took the opened letter and reprimanded: "Bastard, your letter is full of pessimism, as a veteran of the battlefield, it is a shame for the warriors of Great Japan to lack such a belief in victory." Your letter can't be mailed home, and there will be negative factors, understand? Yokoji Saburo stood tall and straight, but he didn't understand why the information in the letter was true and why it was searched for unfavorable factors. Maybe he was a veteran, and the officer didn't use rough methods, otherwise a few big mouths would have made him dizzy.
On a defensive position in Pingdu, a soldier with a dark face sat against the wall in the trench, and was engrossed in wiping the rifle in his hand. His movements are very skillful, and his young and immature face has a more mature look. The young soldier is called Wang Erwa, and two months of brutal fighting have transformed him from a cowardly and timid person into a brave soldier. A recruit next to him stretched out his head to visit the Japanese position, Wang Erwa turned his head and found that something was wrong, reached out and dragged the recruit, and the recruit was dragged to the ground.
At that moment, a bullet hit the position where the recruit was standing and turned into a cloud of dust on the wall of the trench behind. "Fuck you don't want to die! The marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers is extremely accurate, and there are 4 brothers in our class, but they are not paying attention to being shot by the Japanese army! The young soldier's face turned pale with fright, and he was glad that he had escaped. Brethren, the healed brothers are back! The squad leader shouted, and several soldiers came up from the traffic trench behind them with red faces. Uncle, you're healed! Wang Erwa saw the bearded soldier at a glance and pounced happily.
The two sides hugged each other, "Haha, your kid is still alive, I heard that you showed courage to be the deputy squad leader, there is a kind!" "The bearded veteran was especially excited." Uncle, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you anymore, but the injury is really healed. "Alright, all right. I tell you, healing is like healing, and it helps to be attended by a special person. I am recuperating in a prince's mansion in Jinan City, delicious food and drink, and accompanied by beautiful women! "Uncle, don't talk about it with a beautiful woman!" "Let me tell you, the nurses in the hospital are all beautiful girls, and they are all from big cities, and they can pinch out water with white skin."
The ridicule of the bearded veteran aroused great interest among the young soldiers. "Uncle, tell me about your injuries in Jinan?" Wang Erwa begged. The veterans returned from injury, bringing joy to the front-line soldiers, and everyone on the battlefield greeted each other, and the atmosphere was particularly warm. Returning from injury plays a great role in rallying the centripetal force of soldiers, especially young soldiers who are engaged in front-line combat. When veterans or soldiers who have participated in battles return from injury, they will quickly pass on their combat experience to new recruits, which invisibly increases the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Everything for the front line is not an empty word, the best things are sent to the front line, and the best care is given to the front-line soldiers, Ge Yunfei has made great efforts in humanistic care and logistics support. After two months of fierce fighting, Ge Yunfei personally ordered the shooting of four inactive logistics officers and the removal of six local officials. Ge Yunfei's style of doing what he says and doing is fruitful, as well as his iron-fisted methods, have played a strong deterrent role. In addition, the rescue of the wounded on the battlefield can be said to be unprecedented in history, and it has achieved the ultimate in the history of the Chinese land.
Nowadays, Jinan City has become a recuperation base for the seriously wounded, and the lighter wounded on the front line are recuperating in Weifang and Zibo. The seriously injured were transported to Jinan for recuperation, and according to the casualties, the next step was to divert the seriously injured to Qingdao to recuperate. On this day, in a former Qing prince's mansion in Jinan City, Ge Yunfei and his wife came to comfort the wounded.
The flowers in May are vibrant, purple and red, the branches and leaves in the house are luxuriant, and the pavilions and pavilions appear and disappear from time to time. Birds singing on the branches, and cool spring water coming out of the ground, is a poetic feeling.
In the courtyard, female soldiers wearing white coats and white beanies and wounded soldiers with bandages on their legs, feet and heads form a different landscape. Upon hearing the news, Ge Yunfei and his wife came to visit the wounded, and the director of the hospital personally greeted them at the door. Ge Yunfei was dressed in a straight uniform, and his slightly shabby cheeks were even more heroic. Mrs. Wenqing is wearing a purple cheongsam, half-heeled black leather shoes, a slim figure, and a charming face, which is not only beautiful and moving, but also has a graceful and luxurious temperament.
Since the start of the front-line defense operation, the women's fundraising committee under Wen Qing's command has been responsible for the treatment of the wounded according to Ge Yunfei's instructions. Obviously, Wen Qing was a frequent visitor to this field hospital, and many medical staff greeted her. Ge Yunfei didn't come often, but everyone was no stranger to him. Ge Yunfei and Wen Qing walked into a ward, and all the wounded were sincerely afraid, some sat up, some lay on the hospital bed and could not move, so they raised their hands and saluted. Ge Yunfei's gentle condolences seemed close.
Walking to the bed of a young soldier, Ge Yunfei lifted the quilt and found that the young soldier's right leg had been sawn off. "Are you scared?" "Report to the general, I'm not afraid, but I can't go to the front line to kill the enemy!" "Well, you are all heroes, you have made great sacrifices to defend your homeland and our loved ones from being ravaged by bandits." Ge Yunfei turned to everyone and said, "You are fighting for the country, and the people will remember your heroic feats." Rest assured, I promise that there will be no bloodshed and tears. ”
"From now on, all disabled soldiers will live a life without food and clothing, and the state will be responsible for your life!" Some of the soldiers began to sob, tears of excitement infecting everyone present. Ge Yunfei continued: "The next step is to build a nursing home for the disabled of honorary soldiers on the shore of Weishan Lake, where you will receive the best care." The surrounding medical staff applauded enthusiastically, and the oppressive atmosphere became cheerful. Coming out of the ward, Wen Qing took out a handkerchief and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Wen Qing, how is the living situation of the wounded?" Ge Yunfei asked. "I check in the hospitals every day, and the nurses in the hospitals are all volunteers from Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan and Beijing, and they all have rich nursing experience and have no problems in caring for the wounded. In addition, the hospital hired a group of Western doctors from Beijing and Shanghai, and also recruited a lot of Langzhong, which basically met the needs of treating the wounded. At present, the wounded are not able to use the condolences, food, and fruits brought from all over the country, and a large part of them are supporting the front line. ”
Wen Qing said happily: "Yunfei, I didn't expect that the enthusiasm of the people across the country for the War of Resistance was so high, and a large number of donated materials were shipped every day. Many people in the city spontaneously went to the station to carry supplies, but they couldn't stop them. "This is the power of the people's war, and this is the motivation for me to be confident in defeating the Japanese army. Wen Qing, the treatment of the wounded involves the morale of the soldiers and the centripetal force of the people, which is very important. You do it yourself, you represent me. "Yunfei, I know that the responsibility is heavy, and there can't be a trace of sloppiness!"
The front line is already in a scorched state, and the next step is to test the willpower and war potential of both sides. At present, it is not possible to see the shortcomings of the Japanese army, but Ge Yunfei firmly believes that with the huge war attrition, the Japanese army will gradually become the end of the strong crossbow. Although the Japanese government repeatedly proclaimed that victory was in sight, an anti-Japanese alliance headed by Ge Yunfei had been formed, with only one goal, that is, to drive the Japanese bandits out of Chinese territory. After two months of arduous fighting, Ge Yunfei single-handedly blocked the crazy attack of the Japanese army, and the middle forces of the cowardly war in China began to wake up.
In the Grand Presidential Palace in Beijing, Yuan Shikai looked depressed and his face was sickly. It stands to reason that Ge Yunfei led his troops to block the Japanese army's crazy attack in Shandong in disbelief, and he should be happy. But on the contrary, Yuan Shikai was not happy at all. Senior staff member Yang Du said cautiously on the side: "My lord, I didn't expect Ge Yunfei to be so strong and his subordinates used their lives to block the Japanese attack. According to news from Jinan, the people of Shandong spontaneously supported the front-line operations, and they were very enthusiastic. In order to make up for the battle losses, Ge Yunfei formed a huge recruit battalion. ”
In addition, Ge Yunfei is very concerned about the wounded soldiers, which is deeply popular with the people. At present, the Japanese offensive is gradually weakening, and it has become a state of strangulation. "Japan's note to our country and continue to increase troops in Shandong, how long can Ge Yunfei hold out?" Yuan Shikai asked. "My lord, at present, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm continues to rise all over the country, and Cai Ye of the Yunnan Metropolitan Army has publicly announced that he will send a force to Shandong to participate in the war." "This news is too terrible for Yuan Shikai, if the people in charge of the army everywhere announce that they will send troops to fight, their dominance will collapse."
Yang Du figured out Yuan Shikai's thoughts and said: "Cai Ye will not personally lead his troops to the battle, we can announce to the outside world that some soldiers in Yunnan voluntarily participated in the war, and they can explain it internally and externally." In fact, what Yuan Shikai is most worried about is that Ge Yunfei will use the anti-Japanese resistance, and his political prestige will continue to rise, and the consequences will be self-evident. Suddenly, Yuan Shikai felt dizzy, but in front of everyone, he closed his eyes and held back, so as not to let his subordinates see that his body was feint.
