Chapter 40: Lieutenant General
At 4:30 a.m. on the 14th, Liu Yi led the team back to the north shore position, Zhang Yan got a report, and waited at the front of the position early.
"Counselor, it's my brother who is lagging behind, I don't know that rocket artillery is so powerful, please forgive me!"
"General Zhang is polite, those who don't know are not guilty, are there casualties on your side?"
"Haha, only 53 people were killed and 124 were injured, and the wounded have been treated and are now fine. The battle was fought so hard that as soon as the shelling stopped, we rushed forward, meeting almost no resistance. The brothers were not satisfied, and when they saw the remnants of the enemy fleeing eastward, they chased after them.
The snake cubs were chased, in order to survive, they left more than a hundred people behind, NND, these dogs, mothers, and raised marksmanship is really good, there are almost no machine guns, and they resisted us for half an hour, and most of the casualties appeared here. ”
"Well, there is no pressure on our side, firstly, because we are waiting for work, and secondly, because we are not prepared to attack it, 1,000 special mines, 1,500 grenades, 3,000 machine gun bullets, and then 6 shells, completely annihilating more than 400 enemy troops, without a single casualty. It's a pity that the shot was a little heavier, and it didn't capture much, only more than 120 guns and a few bullets. ”
Zhang Yan was sweating when he heard this: It's a little heavier, even most of the guns have been blown up, in your old eyes, it's a little heavier?
"General Zhang, after a long fierce battle with the enemy, the brothers have already been hungry and cold, are you ready for the celebration banquet? Tell all departments to eat and sleep, you count the seizures, and report to the theater command immediately! ”
"Don't worry, the celebration banquet has already been prepared, and the humble post will be reported immediately!"
Zhang Yan nodded, and instructed Deputy Brigade Commander Pang Cheng to lead the troops to a banquet to celebrate the achievement, and he personally went to the telegraph room to send a report: Under the wise command of Chief of Staff Liu Boyan, the vocational headquarters completely annihilated more than 3,800 people in the Kurume mixed brigade, and captured 16 artillery pieces, 32 60mm grenadiers, more than 2,000 rifles, nearly 100 light and heavy machine guns, and a large quantity of various types of ammunition.
More than 300 horses, 6 cars, and 4 military flags were seized, and only more than 100 casualties (53 dead and 124 wounded) were seized. In addition, the body of Xiong Mi of Xia Yuan has also been brought back by General Liu Yi, please instruct on how to deal with it.
After receiving the good news of 122, Shi Zhengguang and Ye Zhongzhong couldn't help but look at each other in amazement, it was surprising that they had achieved such a result in a short period of time.
"The speed is so fast, in less than three hours, nearly 4,000 enemy troops were annihilated, such a record is enough to deter the enemy. The general seat, Liu Boyan must be rewarded heavily, so that the Rotten Snake Country knows that Yanlong is not easy to bully! ”
"Well, report it to the Ministry of Military Affairs, reinforcements will come, right?"
Ye Zhongzhong immediately reported the results of the battle to the Military Commission, and after He Yingchen received the report, he immediately reported it to Shi Tuzhi and asked how to deal with this matter.
Shi Tuzhi received the battle report, he was very happy, he decided to increase the troops in Huating, and rewarded the 19th Army with 100,000 oceans, Liu Yi and Zhang Yanjin were promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, and all the 122 brigades were promoted to the first level, and they were rewarded by telegram! Subsequently, He Yingchen platoon was asked to hold a press conference, and he decided to return to the Southern Jin Dynasty to swear in the War of Resistance.
The two generals, Shi Zhengguang and Ye Zhongzhong, who received the callback, were overjoyed, and they fought alone for more than half a month, and finally looked forward to reinforcements.
On the 14th, Shi Tuzhi and his wife returned to the Southern Jin Dynasty to hold a press conference, reported the victory, publicly expressed the War of Resistance for the first time, and exhibited the four military flags of the Kurume mixed brigade transported from Huating, and the corpses of a cadre such as Shimoto Kumaya!
Shi Tuzhi said sonorously: "Although Yanlong is backward, there is no shortage of loyal patriots, wise and brave heroes!" The prime-age faction represented by the two generals, Shi Zhengguang and Ye Zhongzhong, rubbed their fists and shook their hands, and asked for battle. The younger generation represented by General Liu Yi is even more bloody, please go to war! There are thousands of Shi Zhengguang and Ye Zhongzhong in Yanlong Country, and there are also tens of millions of Liu Boyan, Yanlong is not afraid of war. ”
Media reporters from all over the world were infected by Shi Tuzhi's arrogance, cheers came one after another, applause soared into the sky, and Yanlong reporters shouted long live!
A beautiful foreign female reporter pulled out a photo of Liu Yi with a sniper rifle on her back and a rotten snake saber on her back, spilling blood on her shining military uniform. The headless corpses of the enemy lay beneath their feet, and their bright eyes glistened with coldness, as if they were about to freeze the whole world.
"Dear Mr. Leader, I had the honor to interview General Liu Yi in command, at that time he was so wise, with a pair of talking eyes, shining with wisdom, commanding thousands of troops to break through the formation and kill the enemy, invincible.
But in the past few days, the battle was tragic, a large number of wounded were carried down every minute, and when the troops were tense, General Liu Yi had to take the lead in killing the enemy, and the blood stained his clothes. Don't you think it's a bit cruel to let a boy who is only nineteen years old go into battle?
I was still in school when I was nineteen years old, living a carefree life! But General Liu Yi has to dance in front of death every day, is this unfair to him? ”
"In ancient times in our country, Ganluo was twelve ministers, Huo Biyao went out at the age of seventeen, and the final army was eighteen years old. Yanlong has been a hero for many years since ancient times, and it is the mission of a soldier to fight on the battlefield, please don't regard Liu Yifang as a teenager because he is nineteen years old, he is a general on the battlefield, a revolutionary and soldier who defends the country. ”
Shi Tuzhi's answer caused another round of applause, and finally he announced in a high-profile manner: Send troops to Huating and swear to resist the war!
On February 16, Zhang Taizong finally led the troops to Huating Nanxiang as he wished, and the next day, he rushed to Zhenru for a meeting, he saw Liu Yi, Liu Yi, who had been fighting for more than half a month, was a little haggard, but his heroic spirit was still pressing.
Zhang Taizong happily awarded Liu Yi the rank of lieutenant general and patted him on the shoulder: "Boyan is good, he gave us Yanlong people a bad breath!" ”
Liu Yi gave Zhang Taizong's official knife to Xiong Mi of Xia Yuan, and sighed lightly: "This official knife will be given to Uncle Shi, and after fighting hard for many days, the little nephew feels a lot!" ”
Zhang Taizong happily accepted the general's knife and asked curiously: "Oh, what kind of feelings do you have?" ”
Liu Yi explained the problems that arose in the battle one by one, and finally concluded: "The gap between the enemy and us is reflected in three aspects: First, in armament construction, our army lacks artillery, armor, and air fire support and cover. The Rotten Snake Army has initially comprehended the joint operation of the sea, land and air force, and their aircraft carriers have become mobile bases, which can be said to have opened up a new situation in the war.
Second, the level of training of the army, our army lags far behind the enemy. Third, the concept of war is backward, and we do not have a sufficient understanding of new weapons and equipment, and we cannot accurately grasp the direction of the development of war. This war is nothing more than an all-out war exercise for dragons and snakes, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose, what matters is who can learn more from this exercise. ”
After listening to Liu Yi's words, Zhang Taizong couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and he suddenly realized that war is not only bloodshed and sacrifice for soldiers, but also an opportunity to learn and sublimate. But the domestic generals obviously ignored this point, if this continues, what will the war situation between the dragon and snake evolve into?
