The two chiefs strode up to the main table in front of them. Chief Xue's sparkling eyes glanced from left to right, and then nodded slightly to Chief Bai, and the two of them sat down.

"You may be seated." After sitting down, Xue Yue waved his hands, and there was another "bang", and the generals all sat down.

"The Second Battle of Changsha has ended victoriously, and I have summoned you today to summarize the battle some time ago. On September 7, the 30th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese invaders attacked our position in Dayun Mountain, and the second Battle of Changsha began. By October 9, all the Japanese troops had returned to their original garrisons north of the Xinqiang River, resumed their position in front of the station, and the battle ended. After all of you here and all the soldiers, soldiers and people of our Ninth Theater carried forward the fearless spirit of working together, fighting tenaciously, not afraid of sacrifice, and vowing to fight to the end with the Japanese invaders, we finally protected Changsha and won the great victory of the Battle of Changsha again! ”

Applaud! After saying this, the faces of the two chiefs on the rostrum were a little happy, and with the end of the applause, this joy quickly disappeared again.

"In this battle, although our army kept the city and defeated the enemy, the troops in our theater also suffered heavy losses! Now, let me report on the casualties of the 74th Army, the 58th Division, and the 57th Division, suffered 55 percent casualties, and the 57th Division suffered 40 percent casualties; The 60th Division of the 37th Army suffered 50 percent casualties, and the 140th Division suffered 30 percent casualties; The 102nd Division of the Fourth Army suffered 45 percent casualties; The 3rd Division of the 10th Army suffered 35 percent casualties,......"

Gao Quan swallowed hard and foamed. Although I had known for a long time that the casualties of the Warring States Army in Changsha would be relatively heavy, listening to Xue Yue's report on the scene still made people chill.

These numbers are thousands of soldiers who shed their blood on the battlefield and sacrificed for the country! For the sake of our motherland, which has been weak and humiliated for a hundred years, and for the sake of our nation, which has suffered so much and suffered humiliation, the soldiers did not hesitate to use their young lives and full of blood on the battlefield to fight to the death against the evil invaders! As Tian Han, the lyricist of "March of the Volunteers", wrote in the military song for the 74th Army: The more we fight, the more courageous we are, the more courageous we are, and the war of resistance will surely be won!

The Englishman Winston Churchill famously said: In the face of the aggressor, we have only tears, sweat and blood. Our warriors do not shed tears like the English, they only have sweat and blood, the invaders do not need tears, we only fight with sweat and blood to fight the enemy! Without him, he can only grit his teeth, fight his life with his life, and repay blood with blood!

When the casualty figures were announced, the faces of all the soldiers present were gloomy, and these numbers were the soldiers they had lost, and those soldiers were all living brothers in the past! Now it's a cold casualty toll.

Can an army lose 40 or 50 percent, can it be said that the generals are incompetent? There are Confucian generals who are proficient in strategy and familiar with military books, but what can they do in the face of devils who are ahead of us in all aspects? Can you say that Changsha will be abandoned, let's go up the mountain to fight guerrillas? They can't! They are the regular army of the country, the backbone of the nation! Only with an iron backbone, gritting teeth, sweating, and bleeding, desperately defending one city after another!

Even if you know that you can't prevent it, you have to guard against it, and you have to fight it when you know you can't beat it! We have nothing else but not to be afraid of death! Only by fighting for this life can we ensure that this country will not perish, and let the people know that our government is still resisting, and our army is still fighting!

"Next, I would like to announce the commendation of the troops and commanders who have performed outstanding in this battle." The atmosphere of grief and indignation can only be short-lived, after all, this battle can be regarded as a victory. "The 74th Army performed prominently in the battle of Chunhua Mountain, severely inflicting heavy losses on the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, and the chairman praised it by name and notified the whole army!"

"Wow-" Thunderous applause! Although the generals present may not all be cheering for Wang Yaowu, but Xue Yue reported this series of casualty figures, which made people feel very depressed, this commendation is finally a piece of good news, clap your hands and be happy, it's good to have some joy! Of course, it can also be seen that Wang Yaowu is popular among the generals of the army.

"Wang Yaowu, commander of the 74th Army, was awarded the Order of Baoding of the fourth class. Yu Chengwan, commander of the 57th Division, was awarded the Order of Yunlu of the Third Class. Zhang Lingfu, commander of the 58th Division, awarded the third-class Yunlu Medal. Li Tianxia, commander of the 51st Division, presented the Medal of Loyalty and Bravery. ”

"The 500 Army performed outstanding in the battles of Chunhua Mountain and Yong'an, and achieved remarkable results in cooperation with the 74th Army, and the Military Commission named and praised it."

Five hundred troops! When Xue Yue read the commendation list, he actually mentioned the 500 Army! Although Gao Quan was calm, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Some of the informed generals sitting next to him also nodded their heads to Commander Gao, and Gao Quan nodded with a smile on his face.

"The 37th Army showed tenacious ,...... in battle"

For the five hundred army, Xue Yue actually mentioned it and skipped it lightly. Before Gao Quan could react, Wang Yaowu's brows furrowed, and Zhang Lingfu's face sank. Before the meeting, these two felt that Gao Quan would be commended with them, so they didn't know that they were praised by name!

"Next, I invite Commander Wang Yaowu, Commander Yu Chengwan, Commander Li Tianxia, and Division Commander Zhang Lingfu of the 74th Army to take the stage to receive the award and award!"

The applause rang out again, this time the four generals of the 74 th Army could not sit still, the commander of the theater personally awarded the medal by name, and the chairman of the committee praised him by name. In the applause and eager eyes of hundreds of generals in the field, Wang Yaowu took the lead, followed by Yu Chengwan, Li Tianxia, Zhang Lingfu, and the four mermaids came to the front of the rostrum. At this time, Chief Xue and Chief Bai, who were sitting on the rostrum, had already stood up, and the two chiefs had a spring breeze on their faces, patted their hands to the rhythm of the field, and looked at the four generals who came over with a smile.

"Samin, congratulations!" After returning the salute, Chief Xue shook Wang Yaowu's hand and helped Commander Wang hang the medal ribbon on his shoulder. Everyone loves generals who can fight, and the more Xue Yue looks at Wang Yaowu now, the more pleasing he is.

The two commanders were awarding medals to the four generals, and after a few flashes of bright light, a group of reporters rushed over behind the venue, including newspaper reporters in civilian clothes and military reporters in military uniforms.

Although there were many people in the field, everyone was wearing a straight military uniform, and those who were different colors from everyone's military uniforms were all in front of the head to receive the award. Gao Quan was not tall and not outstanding in appearance, and he stood among hundreds of generals wearing the same color and style of military uniforms, as if he was wearing an invisibility cloak. Tang Wenjuan knew that he was there, and when he ran, a pair of beautiful eyes looked left and right in the crowd, and he didn't see where Gao Quan was until he ran ahead.
