Chapter 762: The Trajectory of History
Zhengzhou.
The Yellow River was dug up and flooded the Seventh Army in order to defend Zhengzhou, so as to prevent the Japanese army from completely controlling the entire territory of Henan and then overwhelming the border and threatening Wuhan.
And now, Zhengzhou is indeed temporarily saved, but at the expense of the deaths of millions of people and the displacement of tens of millions of people.
There were also a lot of refugees gathered in the city, but order in the city was well maintained.
After all, Cheng Qian Xue Yue is here, Zhengzhou is a big city, and there are a lot of various materials and grain reserves, so it is not a problem to organize disaster relief and the like.
Along the way, Lu Yuan saw a lot of porridge shacks and the like, there were soldiers around to maintain order, and the people lined up in a long line to receive a little food to wrap their stomachs, and in the loudspeakers, news reports from the central authorities were being broadcast, such as the chairman of the committee severely condemning the inhumane evil form of the Japanese army blowing up the garden entrance and affecting tens of millions of people. The military took the initiative to dig up the entrance to the garden because it was slandered by the Japanese army and people with ulterior motives, hoping that the people would not believe these rumors and that the rumors would stop at the wise man.
At the same time, the radio expressed condolences to the victims of the floods, and promised that a series of rescue efforts had been launched, hoping that the people would be at ease, trust the government, and believe in the party-state.
On the other hand, the radio did not forget to emphasize that although the bursting of the embankment of the Yellow River was a great disaster for the entire nation, at the same time, the flood also trapped the arrogant Japanese 14th Division and the 16th Division of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army in Zhongmu County and Weishi County respectively, and directly drowned more than 7,000 Japanese troops.
"Did you really drown so many Japanese soldiers? Impossible, right? ”
Niu Pimple listened to the radio and said excitedly: "If that's the case, it's great, the 146th Division is only 40,000 or 50,000 people, and nearly half of them will be drowned in one fell swoop, it is estimated that God can't get used to the evil deeds of the little devils, right?"
Lu Yuan did not speak, not only did he not tell Niu Pimple or even all the soldiers about whether Huayuankou was deliberately blown up by Japanese fighters as stated on the radio, or whether it was like the Red Army released the news that it was blown up by Chairman Chiang, and he did not deny whether it was true that more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers were drowned.
Even if he knew the true truth of the facts, the chairman personally ordered the Huayuankou to be blown up, and only a few hundred Japanese soldiers were drowned, and as for the more than 7,000 Japanese troops drowned, it was simply impossible - historical records show that the entire Battle of Xuzhou, including the battles of Taierzhuang, Lanfeng and so on, added up, the Japanese army annihilated was more than 7,000 people!
He didn't say it because in the current situation, even if the people knew the truth, what was the use?
The damned people are already dead, if only the common people knew the country. The people's government does not care about their life or death at all, and the only result is that the people turn their backs on the country, which is already unpopular. The civil government will be completely abandoned by the people!
Although the Red Army was eager to take advantage of this opportunity to expand its influence, Lu Yuan knew that their strength was far from being able to lead the people of the whole country to resist the Japanese army head-on, although a few years later, they did sweep the world with a sweep of thousands of troops.
But right now, they're far from ready.
When the time comes, the only one who can get the benefits is the Japanese army!
This kind of thing that relatives hate enemies and is happy, Lu Yuan will never do it.
The Zhengzhou headquarters is heavily guarded.
As soon as the group arrived, many generals were placed in batches and asked everyone to wait in small rooms, and it was obvious that it would take some time for the meeting to begin.
Lu Yuan and Niu Pimple were assigned to a room, while Zhu Junhao and the rest of the generals went to another room.
The rooms were large, with seven or eight beds, and it was obvious that there were more people in place, and it was clear that no general wanted to stay with them.
"It's so comfortable......"
The cow pimple was lying comfortably on the bed and rolling, it can be said that since they left Wuhan, they have never slept in such a comfortable bed!
In the previous Trojan County, there was a lot of waste waiting to be revived, except for Lu Yuan, Su Yan, Cai Kaile, and even Xu Yun, Yang Zongman and other battalion commanders had to sleep in Datongpu, not to mention him, a small platoon leader.
As for the raid on Tianjin or the long journey to come here, not to mention, if you can find a broken temple cave, it can be regarded as a five-star treatment, and sometimes even if it rains, you can only stay under the tree for one night, which is extremely bitter.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh a little emotionally, once upon a time, he saw the soldiers of this era from movies and television, and saw them fighting bloody battles with devils in such a difficult environment, in addition to being moved, he also felt some tragic beauty.
But only when you really get to this environment will you understand that there has never been such a feeling of sadness in this world, and there are only sadness.
Niu Pimple suddenly got up and said excitedly: "Brother Yuan, if we really win this time, do you think Chairman Jiang will give you a promotion, and also make you a commander or a military commander?" Hehe, if you really have that opportunity, Brother Yuan, you can make me a bigger official......"
"Okay!"
Lu Yuan smiled, but he understood that it was impossible at all - Chairman Jiang was not outstanding in military ability and was stubborn and self-serving, and he had no room for people, if anyone was too popular, he would immediately try his best to suppress it!
Not to mention that Chen Zhibo brought the power of Taierzhuang's great victory, and he was in the limelight for a while, if he came to command the battle of Lanfeng, whether it was qualifications or ability, he would definitely be more suitable than Xue Yuechengqian, and the hope of victory would be greater-but what about the result? Chen Zhibo has visited the United States! To say that there is no power struggle in it, Lu Yuan is not to believe it.
This is still Chen Zhibo, the dignified vice chairman, and if his small role is a great contribution and his reputation is all over the world, what will Chairman Jiang do?
Lu Yuan felt that it would be good if he wasn't rectified, and he couldn't even think about the reward!
Not to mention that if Chairman Jiang really wants to give full play to his strengths, then when he is in Wuhan, he should reward himself, instead of giving himself a name to go to Trojan County, where birds don't!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan smiled bitterly.
How sad it is that the lifeblood of China is in the hands of such people who have always put their fame, fortune and status above the entire country and nation.
As soon as the cow pimple lay down, he quickly snored, while Lu Yuan sat in front of the window, confused.
From the time of his arrival, whether it was Shanghai, Nanjing, or even Tianjin, a series of actions he led did change the lives of many people, but the impact of these actions on the direction of history was minimal!
After all, the wheel of history is never difficult to change because of the life or death of someone, whether it is a nobody who should have died on the streets of Nanjing, or the famous Umezu Mijiro or Kazuki Aoji, they can't.
But this time, this time it's different!
