Chapter 016: Annihilating the entire division of the Japanese army again
The main force of the Japanese army was destroyed, Wei Lihuang immediately ordered the commander of the reorganized Sixth Army to attack Dongzhi with his own army, and the commander of the 66th Army, Zhang Zhen, led his headquarters to attack Ren'anqiang, and Sun Liren, the commander of the new 38th Division, was very familiar with the situation here, and there was only one wing of the devil stationed there, and I believe that it would not take a lot of effort to take it. The Fifth Army and three other divisions attacked the remnants of the 33rd Division at Kyaukshi and made sure to encircle and annihilate them.
The four divisions of the Japanese army were destroyed, and the devils in the area north of Pyinmana were no longer to worry, and now was the time to beat the water dogs.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of June 3, after confirming the results, Wei Lihuang couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and he couldn't help it! Kyaukshi's 33rd Division is already a turtle in the urn, that is, he has surrounded and annihilated five divisions of devils in the past month, and it is five A divisions, it is the most powerful unit of devils, only 400,000 horses and devils confronted the devil in Zhongtiao Mountain for two years, and he did not kill so many devils, when Wei Lihuang was proud, he had to look at Wang Hanzhang differently, although the plan was 120,000 points unreliable, but he succeeded in one fell swoop, no matter how lucky he was, it was enough to have such luck once in his life, If there were a few more people with such luck in China, would they still allow devils to be arrogant in China?
And the soldiers below were even more elated, they not only won the battle, but also completely annihilated the four divisions of the devil, and soon there will be five, and they are finally worthy of the title of China's most elite troops.
The officers and men of the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army walked like a god, screaming and killing Ren'anqiang and Taunggyi, who had been pressed and beaten by devils in general for the past month, and today they are going to raise their eyebrows.
At half past three in the afternoon, a telegram of the great victory of the expeditionary force and the encirclement of the four divisions of the Japanese army was placed on Chiang Kai-shek's table, watching the Japanese army kill Mandalay step by step in the past few days, the situation is critical, Mandalay looks like it is going to be lost, Lao Chiang can't sleep well anyway, he can't eat well, he didn't rest all night last night, he fell asleep at almost three o'clock, and his subordinates couldn't bear to wake him up.
However, Chiang Kai-shek, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly collapsed from the bed, and was so frightened that the attendants who had just put down the telegram and Song Meiling were taken aback.
Song Meiling saw that he woke up, and said calmly: "Don't worry about the situation, Wei Lihuang just sent a telegram saying that the four divisions of the Japanese army were encircled and annihilated, and the battle was won!" As she spoke, Song Meiling smiled from the bottom of her heart.
Old Jiang stared listlessly at the dark circles under his eyes and said, "Just kidding me, I went to sleep, what news is there to call me." As he spoke, he went back to bed, baffling the others.
But then it collapsed again, and Lao Jiang You collapsed and said: "Wei Lihuang really sent a telegram saying that he surrounded and annihilated the four divisions of the devils? ”
Although Song Meiling felt that Lao Jiang was shocked in front of the attendants, she didn't say anything, and directly took the telegram to Lao Jiang, "Look at this, I just sent it, he shouldn't make such a joke." ”
Chiang Kai-shek looked at the telegram and read it out word by word, "After more than a month of hard fighting, the expeditionary force has completely annihilated the 18th, 53rd, 54th, and 55th divisions of the devil this morning, and the troops are attacking the remnants of the 33rd division, and Ringanqiang and Taunggyi are just around the corner." "The telegram is very short, looking at Wei Lihuang, it's not like a joke, in fact, it's not that Lao Jiang doesn't believe it, but it's rare to even encircle and annihilate a brigade, let alone encircle and annihilate four divisions at once, and besides, the situation was still about to fall yesterday, and today I will have a ***, who believes it!
The newspaper boy shouted happily: "Outside the nickname, the expeditionary force has won a great victory, encircling and annihilating the devil's five divisions, a good nickname, the expeditionary force has won a great victory, encircling and annihilating the devil's five divisions......" There were shouts of newsboys selling newspapers everywhere.
Countless people watched the newsboy buy newspapers, and for a time Chongqing gongs and drums rang out in unison, and the sound of firecrackers was endless, and they celebrated one after another. There are still countless people talking about it, this is a rare victory, with 200 divisions surrounding and destroying devils who are twice as many as themselves, everyone does not doubt it.
Passerby A said: "I really can't believe it! ”
Passerby B said: "What's the matter, didn't the 200th division still kill a division of devils, and now we have two or three hundred thousand people over there!" Killing five divisions is nothing, General Dai, General Wei, and General Wang, but we are the most powerful people in China. ”
Passerby C said: "I know who General Dai is, and I also know General Wei, but I don't know about this General Wang." ”
Passerby B said: "Gua Wazi, I really don't know, General Wang is Wang Hanzhang!" ”
People around, "Oh......"
Chongqing ** office, a person said: "Enlai, you say this news is true or false!" ”
Zhou Enlai said: "It should be true, I also hope it is true, I am saying that I have a good relationship with General Wei Lihuang, I know his character, and I will not lie about his military exploits, and even any Kuomintang general cannot lie about such a big thing, you say that you will destroy a brigade, maybe some people will believe it, and you have to check it, you said that you encircled and annihilated the Fifth Brother Division, more than 100,000 people, you don't need to check, you will soon know the truth, but I am very surprised that General Wei Lihuang used what method to encircle and annihilate so many devils, You and I are well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army, wasn't the situation in Myanmar still very dangerous just yesterday, and how could so many devils suddenly be eliminated at once? ”
Immediately after the official announcement by the Allies in China, they were in great need of an inspiring victory, and the Allies sent congratulatory telegrams congratulating the Chinese government, and Wei Lihuang's name was immediately known to the world.
The Allies seemed to see the dawn of victory, after all, this was the biggest war of annihilation since the war against Japan, and the Americans were naturally very happy, because many newspapers advertised that it was the credit of American equipment, but no one in China paid attention to them.
The U.S. government finally felt the value of China's existence, so they also hope that China will play a more important role in the future battlefield, so that the American people will sacrifice less, which also means that China can get more American aid, although the Americans are reluctant to give too much in history, it is entirely because the Chinese government has performed too poorly, even in 1944, Japan has come to the end of the world, or is occupied by devils A large area of territory, who to change, is not willing to give these weapons, ammunition, and materials to such a country.
On June 11, the squadron announced that it had encircled and annihilated the remnants of the 33rd Division, and Taunggyi and Ringanqiang were also taken.
After such a big victory, it is natural to be rewarded, Lao Jiang has never been so confident, and now who dares to say that he is incompetent and does not resist the Japanese!
Lao Jiang's excitement was incomparable, and he did not discuss it with others, but directly promoted all the officers of the expeditionary force to one level, Wei Lihuang was directly promoted from a second-class general to a first-class general, and Wang Hanzhang was suddenly promoted from a major general to a lieutenant general.
By the time everyone reacted, it was too late, but then Lao Jiang Yi's credit to Wang Hanzhang was okay to be promoted to lieutenant general, it was completely okay, everyone was unhappy because of jealousy, because Wang Hanzhang was promoted too fast, from second lieutenant to lieutenant general in two months, what kind of speed is this, few people can spend a lifetime on others.
Lao Jiang didn't feel bad about promoting Wang Hanzhang, he happened to be promoted to Wang Hanzhang, and he didn't leave the opportunity to He Yingqin, otherwise Wang Hanzhang would really fall to He Yingqin.
In order to entrap Wang Hanzhang, and at the same time tell others that he will be rewarded for his merits, and that there will be no major war in Burma now, and there will be no delay in letting them come back, Chiang Kai-shek specially ordered Wei Lihuang and Wang Hanzhang to come back, and he will directly award the medal.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was in an uproar, anyway, there were all kinds of jealousy, envy and hatred, but Wang Hanzhang's limelight overshadowed everyone, and now everyone knows that the attention of the flooded devil was from him, and it was he who made Wei Lihuang, although Wei Lihuang is also very talented, but its news value is far less than Wang Hanzhang, who was still a second lieutenant platoon commander a month ago.
Wang Hanzhang's merits are really there, and no relatives and friends are high-ranking officials, no one supports, he is completely a poor hero, very valuable for excavation, in this era or no matter that era, civilian heroes are enviable, and respectful, newspapers can report this kind of thing, it is necessary to sell well, because every civilian has a heroic dream, when he can't realize it, he pins his hope on others and shares the happiness of others.
Unlike the sea of joy of the allies, Japan was immersed in grief everywhere, and Japan's six standing divisions were wiped out in this way, and if they died in normal operations, they could still accept it, but in that way, the 56th division was lost in one fire, and then the four fourth regiments were flooded.
If Wang Hanzhang is here, he will definitely argue with them, how can he ignore the bloody battle of the squadron, and he also killed tens of thousands of people in the previous war.
The bigwigs of the Japanese military department flipped the table and smashed the stool one by one, they will not stop there, they must prevent more Japanese troops from going to Burma, eliminate the Chinese expeditionary force, and kill all the expeditionary forces, especially Wang Hanzhang, Wei Lihuang and Dai Anlan, the existence of these three names is a shame for Japan.
Although Japan has been deceiving the people, it has not concealed this matter, but the Japanese did not blame the Japanese government, but spontaneously organized an assassination organization to deal with Wang Hanzhang, and at the same time, all walks of life in Japan donated 5 million oceans, announcing to the outside world that if anyone can kill Wang Hanzhang, the 5 million oceans will be his.
After Wang Hanzhang found out, he was shocked into a cold sweat, the Japanese government only spent 2 million oceans to ask for Chiang Kai-shek's head, and his own head was actually worth 5 million, isn't that to make himself the target of public criticism, fatal......
