In the end, less than 100 people were dragged out of the blood-soaked camp. In fact, only 39 of these Japanese captives made it to the defensive positions on the outskirts of Panjin alive. After the bodies of these Japanese prisoners were picked up, they were pushed into the pit, burned on fire, and hastily buried.

Perhaps in the years to come, the nearby farmer family will absorb the nutrients brought by the corpses in the soil irrigated by blood, and it will grow even more luxuriant. This was the only small contribution made by the Japanese prisoners of war in the camp to this land that did not belong to them.

"Sir!" The adjutant of the 2nd Division of the New Army walked into Guo Xing's headquarters with a bag, and after he stood up and saluted, he put the bag on Guo Xing's desk: "It turns out that these bastards have indeed been to Panjin and are also one of the several units that committed the bloody crime. ”

Guo Xing opened the pocket and found that there were some gold teeth that had not been wiped clean of blood, as well as some jewelry such as gold rings. He looked up, looked at his adjutant and asked, "Looted from Japanese prisoners of war?" ”

"These inlaid gold teeth were turned out of the pockets of some Japanese people, and naturally they were not their own...... As for some gold rings, they have Chinese names on them, so we judge them to be stolen goods. The adjutant pointed to his pocket as he spoke, signaling Guo Xing to look more carefully.

Guo Xing didn't open the bag again, because he felt that the contents made him a little disgusted, he stood up, walked to the window and said: "I am not a judge, and I have no right to sentence those people for their crimes, but I am a soldier, at least I can do what I think is right with the gun in my hand." ”

"I heard that there are not many people left in Panjin City, the streets are full of the stench of corpses, and no one has disposed of the corpses," the adjutant said to Guo Xing in front of him with some regret...... "We should take it back as soon as possible and bury those compatriots of the motherland." ”

"The telegram from the military department said that the commander was already gathering forces and preparing to attack Panjin in the east......" Guo Xing withdrew his gaze from the window, where he was located was an ownerless farm, where a high-power radio station was set up, and Wang Jue's command could already be directly contacted.

In the other direction, Wang Jue was already riding his fat and strong war horse, and along with the truck dragging howitzers, they entered the Linghai that had been slightly dilapidated by the shells.

Although the Japanese carried some small-caliber artillery, so there were not many shells that crossed the outer defense line and fell into Linghai County, but these shells still caused damage to Linghai, as if they were scars, which made people look shocking.

Wang Jue rode his horse and stopped in front of a group of people who came to greet him, then turned over and dismounted, and arched his hand to the general who was a little tired, and said politely: "General Feng garrisoned Linghai and resisted foreign insults for my Ming Dynasty, which makes me very admired." It should be me who went to visit the general, how dare I bother the general to greet him? ”

Feng Pingzhang is now the commander of the 29th Army, with the rank of major general. And Wang Jue's current military rank is just a colonel, and even this military rank is awarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not according to his resume. This is considered a blessing in the army, and the resume is flawed, and he may not be able to be promoted again unless he has made great contributions for ten years.

However, the two sides switched positions in terms of positions: Feng Pingzhang was only the commander of the 29th Army, while Wang Jue was the commander of the New Army. In terms of organization, the new army is a group army, which is obviously one level larger than Feng Pingzhang, and in terms of the actual number of people under management, Feng Pingzhang's 29th Army has only 37,000 men and three divisions under its jurisdiction; The number of new troops commanded by Wang Jue exceeded 60,000, which was indeed more than the troops under Feng Pingzhang's command.

Therefore, it is not certain who is the boss of these two people now, because according to the precedent before the empire, there was a lieutenant general who commanded the battle and the general was his subordinate, so it is not clear which of them is the commander of Ling Hai's side now.

However, Feng Pingzhang still stood upright and saluted Wang Jue first: "You can rush to the front line, stabilize the defense line for the 29th Army, and keep Jinzhou from losing, Feng Pingzhang is willing to salute you!" The 21,000 officers and men of the two divisions of the front line of the 29th Army were at the disposal of Commander Wang. ”

This Feng Pingzhang is a military man with a straightforward personality, the main reason for his poor career in the past is that this mouth is a little trivial, but what he admires most is capable people, so when he saw Wang Jue defeat Todeltai in Jinzhou and captured more than 10,000 rebels, he immediately had a good impression of Wang Jue.

Because of the good feeling, the speech is not so ugly, and naturally everyone is happy. And after seeing the military appearance of the new army, Feng Pingzhang also has his own plans, war is the best stage for soldiers to emerge, he has spent his whole life, and only by taking this opportunity can he make further progress at this time.

And obviously, it is an opportunity to have a good relationship with the capable young man in front of him and who has won the trust of the royal family: he Feng Pingzhang can climb to the position of army commander, he is not stupid, if he can temper the 29th Army into the state of the new army, then even if he is still a military commander, he will be more promising than those group army commanders who are messing around.

To put it bluntly, Feng Pingzhang is proud and does not accept the shackles of those mediocre talents, so he seemed unruly in the past, which makes people feel that it is not easy to get along with. However, this kind of arrogant people are easier to work with when they see more capable people, and their abilities and visions are different from those who are mediocre.

Wang Jue, who returned Feng Pingzhang's salute, didn't think that Feng Pingzhang had so many twists and turns in his heart, his first task now was to combine the forces of the 29th Army and attack Panjin to open up the passage to Lushun on the road. If he can open up this channel in a short period of time, then the entire battle situation in Liaodong will continue to develop in the direction of favoring the Ming Empire.

So he didn't delay anything, and directly told Feng Pingzhang his plan on the side of the road: "General Feng, I'm going to rest for 2 hours, and then launch a tentative attack in the direction of Panjin, and your troops will continue to garrison Linghai, meet our army and cover our army's flank, what's the problem?" ”

Feng Pingzhang was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a more joyful look, he has always been able to defeat Wang Jue under Jinzhou City, although he is young, but he is a capable person, and now he finds that Wang Jue is not only capable, but also vigorous and resolute is very suitable for his character, so he is even more happy. Hearing Wang Jue's question, he thought for a moment before replying: "The 29th Army can transfer 7,000 people to Panjin with you, Commander!" ”
