Chapter 757: The Battle That Ended Abruptly
"Don't you know that the devil has withdrawn?" This is the direct reaction of the little girl after hearing Li Liang's question.
"The devil retreats, what kind of soldiers do you retreat?" Li Liang and Xiao Yanzi asked in unison.
"Just the day before you came back, the devil withdrew from Changsha, and our people went to pursue the devil." The little girl said.
"Don't you know? Didn't you send that information back? Liu Yu, who was next to the little girl, also asked strangely.
"Oh, that's itβ" Li Liang began to ponder the matter.
He is different from the fine girl, the fine girl is a simple child, and he has always listened to the command of others in everything, but Li Liang is different.
Although he was also a member of the information that the Japanese army in Changsha had no food (although he was the last to return), it was the first time that the Japanese army withdrew because of lack of food.
It must have been that the Japanese army ran out of food, so they ran away as soon as they saw that the situation was not good, but is this true?
However, when you think about it, it is surprising.
Tens of thousands of people have to eat, and tens of thousands of people have seen that the food has been cut off and the grain route has been cut off by the Chinese army, so if you don't hurry up and run while you still have to eat, do you have to wait until you are so hungry that your chest is close to your belly?
"And how long have they been gone?" Li Liang asked anxiously.
"It's been a long time since you left, what's the matter, you still have to go?" The little girl asked.
"Where are you going? It's just chasing the devils, it is estimated that they will come back quickly, you finally come back, just wait for them! Liu Yu didn't wait for Li Liang to answer, but he had already made the decision for the two of them first, and looked these two people up and down after speaking.
The thin girl was dressed very differently, without a hat, and there was an obvious egg-sized bag on her forehead, which was still bruised and swollen, which looked very scary.
The shirtless body of the child who had not yet grown up was exposed, but the shirt of the Japanese soldier was tied around his waist with two sleeves, and the trousers of the Japanese soldier on the lower body had been cut off below the knee, and the bare feet were rubbed with red dirt.
Although Li Liang's military uniform has been scraped out a lot, after all, he is still dressed as a national army, but the sleeve on the left side has also been cut off, but it is tied to the left arm, but the outside has been dyed black and red with blood.
"Hurt?" The little girl asked with concern.
"Well, I was shot by a devil, but I didn't hurt my bones." Li Liang replied, and only then did he feel the pain of the gunshot wound again.
"Okay, what else are you going, just stay, by the way, you are Li Liang of the 58th Division, right, Shen Chong and they all told us before they set off this time, you can live here first." Liu Yu has a hearty personality in the end, and went to pick up the rifles in their hands as he spoke.
Li Liang didn't insist anymore, he was too tired to say that he had a gunshot wound again, so he had to take a good rest and recuperate, and he had to go back to his own troops.
In this way, Li Liang temporarily stayed in the temporary station of the battalion directly under the temporary station, although only one platoon was left in the battalion directly under the temporary station.
The little girl and Liu Yu had some aspirin on hand, so they poured water for Li Liang to take the medicine, and then helped him change the external Yunnan Baiyao, and Li Liang quickly became familiar with the two of them.
And the little girl and Liu Yu asked what was going on with the bag on the head of the fine girl.
It's just that when the two of them asked this, the fine girl blushed again.
It turned out that the bag on the forehead of the fine girl was beaten by the people on the road.
On the way back from Li Liang and the fine guy, Li Liang was naturally happy to get the sniper rifle he wanted, the guy was an honest boy, to say that his hobby was to play with guns, and the sophistication of the people was not as good as the small stone lock, so he forgot to change the Japanese military uniform.
As a result, when the two of them were passing by a village, Li Liang naturally had to ask the people in the village about the whereabouts of the battalion and the 152nd regiment.
At this time, the fine maid who was standing aside was attacked by the villagers as a prisoner escorted by Li Liang and was attacked with stones, but fortunately, Li Liang explained the situation in time, otherwise the fine maid might have been directly killed by the angry villagers.
The two of them saw what this line was, so when the fine man went on the road again, he took off his shirt and pants and cut a piece with a bayonet, so that people would not have the first impression that he was a Japanese soldier.
When the two of them said this, the little girl and Liu Yu covered their mouths, and Liu Yu also said, "What kind of officer there is, what kind of soldier you have, you are not as smart as your battalion commander!" βγ
The fine girl was naturally puzzled, so Liu Yu learned about Huo Xiaoshan's "naked running" and came back to report the news, which made Li Liang and the fine girl also happy.
Huo Xiaoshan's intelligence was sent in a timely manner, but this time he used the radio to send a telegram directly to the theater command.
General Tiger Tsai was overjoyed when he got this information, but he didn't expect that there would be such a reversal of the "plot" in this battle.
As a theater command, it is natural to have a review that has a bearing on the overall situation.
In order to relieve the danger of Changsha, other theaters of operations intensified their offensives against other strategic points occupied by the Japanese army.
The Japanese army is indeed insufficient now, and some of the Japanese troops who came to attack Changsha were drawn from those strategic places.
The supreme commander of the Japanese army, Anan Wei, who participated in this battle, received several distress messages to those strategic points (such as Yichang) that were attacked, and although they occupied Changsha, they were short of food, so they had no choice but to order the Japanese army to abandon Changsha and start retreating.
So General Tiger Tsai telegraphed all the national troops who were still fighting to start the pursuit.
Huo Xiaoshan discussed with the leaders of the directly subordinate battalion, although the officers and soldiers of the directly subordinate battalion were already very tired, they still had to go to pursue.
It's just that the main purpose of their trip this time is not to eliminate how many Japanese soldiers, but to get more loot, to put it bluntly, they are rushing to take advantage, so that the soldiers will not be too tired.
The little sister and Liu Yu didn't follow this time, they were arranged by Huo Xiaoshan to stay and teach their apprentices to learn to receive telegrams.
This time, he finally got a radio station back, but Huo Xiaoshan always remembered to send it to Murong Pei.
It is said that the 74th Army suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the casualties of the 153rd and 152nd regiments known to the directly subordinate battalion were about half, so the 58th Division had already assembled in Puji.
Li Liang wanted to go back to the army, but on the day he came back, his gunshot wound infected people and began to have a fever, so he was left behind by Xi Xunzi and Liu Yu.
Thirteen days later, Huo Xiaoshan came back with everyone in his direct battalion beaming.
Not only did they get back two mortars, more than 20 shells, but they also got back ten wagons of horse meat.
The cannon was naturally snatched by their Japanese army, but the horse meat was sent by the Sichuan army.
It turned out that the Sichuan army seized the opportunity of the Japanese army to retreat, but launched an attack on the south bank of the Xinqiang River while the Japanese army crossed the river.
Huo Xiaoshan didn't catch up with them in this battle, but they caught up with the Sichuan army to kill horses.
The Sichuan army naturally remembered the help given to them by Huo Xiaoshan's direct battalion, so they sent them ten carts of horse meat, Huo Xiaoshan was still humble, and the Sichuan army said that you should continue, and the remaining horse meat is enough for us to eat for several months.
At this point, the Second Battle of Changsha was over.
After a few days, Li Liang's fever subsided, his wounds also scabbed, and he wanted to return to the 152nd Regiment, but unexpectedly got news that the 58th Division had gone to Zhuzhou under Hao Lingqi's order, and he was going to Zhuzhou.
But just before he left, he was stopped by Huo Xiaoshan again, because Huo Xiaoshan got accurate news that Hao Lingqi, the commander of the 58th Division, was shot dead by the chairman who went to Hengshan for a meeting because he escaped from the battle!!
