Chapter 257: Keeping Promises
"Hurry up and inform the artillerymen, immediately carry out artillery fire contraction, there are no more devils on the beach."
After several rounds of fighting, almost all of the devils were concentrated two hundred meters in front of the woods, and there was now nothing on the beach except the shattered corpses of the devils and some parts of weapons.
Boom Boom Boom ......
The artillerymen were notified, and immediately shortened the attack distance to the current position of the devils, and began to wreak havoc on the landing devils again.
"Baga, kill it."
Seeing that the artillery began to chase them behind, the commander of the devil's division began to get anxious. They drew their command knives and stood upright at the front of the attacking troops, pointing their command knives in the direction of the woods, intending to motivate the soldiers to intensify their attacks.
"Give me the gun."
bang
A battalion commander snatched a rifle from a nearby soldier, then aimed at the commander of the Devil Division who stood up to command, and shot him in the heart. I only saw that after the devil division spit out a mouthful of donated blood, it began to fall backwards, and the command knife in his hand fell to the ground sideways.
"Increase the intensity of the resistance and eliminate the gang of devils in front of you."
He returned the gun to the warriors, and then shouted for the fighters to step up their efforts and end the fight as soon as possible.
Da-da-da, bang-bang
After another two hours of fighting, the troops landed by the devils were almost dead, and there was less than a brigade of troops left alive.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we're done." Said the commander of a brigade of major generals.
"Baga, Baga, I have a big plan for the camp, and I'm a big guy who will only sit at home." A division commander said indignantly.
"So what are we going to do?" A large Zuo asked.
"Yaga, what to do, keep attacking. Kill to give"
The commander of the Devil Division stood up, pointed his command knife at the enemy in front of him, and began to order the remaining soldiers to continue the attack.
Doodoo ......
Come on...... Destroy them......
The trumpet of the national army sounded, and the soldiers who were ambushed in the woods stood up one after another, then rushed out of the position with their guns in their hands and began to rush towards the devils.
"Quack ......"
Seeing at least a hundred thousand troops rushing out of the woods, the commander of the devil's division finally felt that he could die. As expected, after the last 20 minutes of fighting, the six divisions and regiments where the devils landed were finally wiped out, and not a single one was left alive.
"According to the report, the intelligence sent by Guangzhou said that a large number of Chinese troops were found in Guangzhou, with a total of about 150,000 to 200,000 troops." A staff officer wanted Okamura Ninji to report.
"Nani, quickly order the landed troops to stop landing, the enemy has an ambush." Okamura Ninji stood up anxiously and said.
"Report, they've landed." The staff officer said.
"Yaga." Hearing that the landing had been made, Okamura Ninji slumped in his chair and began to pray for the landing soldiers.
"Report, Canton Intelligence. The troops we landed were ambushed, and they have been, ......," said a staff officer.
"Baga, what's wrong, say it quickly." Okamura Ninji urged.
"Hay, it's all gone." The staff officer said.
"Yaga, Yaga." Although Okamura Ninji guessed that he was likely to be ambushed, he did not expect that it would be the result of the total annihilation of the army.
"The report, the base camp telegram, asks you to return to your homeland immediately to explain the failure of this battle of Wuhan." A staff officer ran in again.
"Your Excellency, you can't be blamed for this failure, it's completely a problem with the plan of the base camp."
"That is, the base camp didn't listen to your advice at all and insisted on going its own way, and they should be responsible for this failure."
The staff officers began to stand up one after another to fight for Okamura Ninji, and they all felt that this defeat was a mistake in the decision-making of the base camp, and it had nothing to do with the soldiers on the front line.
"Alas...... Forget it, take care. ”
Okamura Ninji stood up, sighed helplessly, and then walked into the room behind the office, closed the door gently, and began to silently pack up his things, ready to go back to his homeland.
"Report, Guangzhou report, all the devils who landed in Guangzhou and attacked have been eliminated, and not a single living mouth has been left. About 120,000 devils were annihilated. "At the Commander's Mansion, a staff officer came in and reported.
"Niang Xipi, fight well, this is a victory, and it must be well publicized. Chen Cheng and Zong Ren, this matter will be left to you. Commander Jiang said.
On Chen Jinghui's side, he felt that Guangzhou's victory was a matter of course, so he didn't care too much, but thought about something else.
"Tell me, Guangzhou has won such a big victory, we can't change it to ask our commander Jiang for a reward!" Chen Jinghui looked at everyone and asked.
"Commander, this is a national army, what does it have to do with us." Zhao Kai said.
"It doesn't matter why, the devil's conspiracy was discovered by us, and the attention is also ours, so the reward is not too much!" Chen Jinghui said.
"Commander, this is the reason, but will Commander Jiang in Chongqing give it?" Bian Guo asked suspiciously.
"How do I know, I don't know. Someone came and sent a report to Commander Chiang, saying that the ambush of the devils in Guangzhou had been won, and I, the person who gave advice, needed to reward and encourage morale, and asked him for 500,000 oceans. Chen Jinghui said.
"Niang Xipi, 500,000 oceans, what idea is worth this price. Tell him no, Niang Xipi. Commander Jiang scolded.
"Hmph, no. Call back, if not, what I promised before will be gone. Chen Jinghui said.
"Niang Xipi, dare to threaten me. I don't have any money, you have to give weapons and equipment. Commander Jiang said.
"It's really shameless, at such an old age, it's still a relibi. Call back, the reward must be there, otherwise I have no way to explain to the soldiers. We fought such a big battle with the devils in Wuhan and wiped out all the devils. And you haven't come out with a single soldier, and you're willing to give some rewards, how can you be worthy of those soldiers who died on the front line, and you are still in command! Chen Jinghui began to play the emotional card.
"Niang Xipi, who said that I didn't send troops, I obviously gave an order, and the troops also crossed the river to participate in the war, why didn't I send a single soldier." Commander Jiang said angrily.
"Hmph, you sent troops, the soldiers are there, and we don't see tens of thousands of pairs of eyes. If you don't believe me, send someone over to see if you can find a national army, even if you find clothes. Chen Jinghui said.
"Huh?"
When Commander Jiang saw Chen Jinghui say this, he began to hesitate a little, and began to wonder if the people below had really sent troops.
"Zongren, immediately check for me if the troops in Ezhou have crossed the river to fight, and I will go immediately." Commander Chiang ordered.
"Yes, Commander, I'll go right away."
Li Zongren also felt strange, suspecting that the people below did not really send troops to reinforce the Flying Fox to fight against Japan.
"Call back, I need to find out about this matter. But the weapons and equipment you promised before must be given, and as for the reward you said, I don't have that much, I can only give you 300,000. Commander Jiang said.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it, 300,000 is 300,000! It's better than no number. ”
After Chen Jinghui received the telegram from Commander Chiang, he said a word to himself, and then he was ready to fulfill his promise.
"Call back to Commander Jiang and ask him to send people to Ruichang and Xishui to get weapons and equipment. The list is as follows: Ruichang will deliver 10,000 Bayi automatic rifles, 100 light and heavy machine guns, 30 rocket launchers, and 20 100mm heavy guns, each equipped with two bases of ammunition. In addition, Xishui I will give away devil equipment for free, three divisions. But I don't want people from Ezhou to receive it, let General Xue Yue come and receive it. In addition, I also promised to compensate Yan'an before, so I need you to open a passage for them to pass. Chen Jinghui ordered.
"Mother Xipi, you still ask me for money for such a big amount."
Commander Jiang looked at these weapons with straight eyes, automatic rifles, bazookas, and large-caliber heavy artillery, these were all weapons that he had never heard of before. Even if it's a devil's weapon, it's much better than his own middle formal.
"Call back, agree to receive these equipment, and will send Xue Yue over in person. As for opening up a passage to Yan'an, I can only say that they have a month, and after the deadline, I will close the passage. Commander Jiang said.
"It's been a knock on the door, it's only been a month. Forget it, it's enough to calculate the time. Chen Jinghui said.
"Then commander, how much equipment do we give to Yan'an." Liu Changjiang, the commander of the third division next to him, asked.
"Send a telegram to Yan'an, thank you for the contribution made by the Eighth Army in the Battle of Wuhan, and I am afraid that I will fulfill my promise. The list of weapons I will give you is as follows: 15,000 Type 15,000 automatic rifles, 100 light and heavy machine guns, 50 rocket launchers, 50 75mm mountain guns, and 50 homemade 100mm heavy guns. Please send someone to collect it as soon as possible according to the channel opened by Commander Chiang, Chen Jinghui. Chen Jinghui said.
"Hahaha...... This kid is so rich, and he has so much equipment at once. Someone came, sent a report to Mr. Peng, and asked him to send someone to receive it immediately. The commander-in-chief said with a smile.
"This kid has so many good things, he should have ordered more if he knew about it." Commander Mao said.
"Be content! That's quite a lot. The commander-in-chief said.
"Report, Mr. Peng called back, he said that he would personally receive this batch of weapons, and at the same time he wanted to see what this legendary young general looked like, and he could beat the devil to cry and call his mother." The communications corps reported.
"Hahaha... Lao Peng is like this, he is afraid that others will snatch good things when he sees them. Forget it, agree with him, but you must be careful about secrecy. The commander-in-chief said.
"Hahaha...... This old Peng. When Commander Mao heard Mr. Peng's request, he also laughed.
