Chapter 206

Andijan, the Central Asian Front summed up the scene of the conference, and the person who can appear at this conference is at least a lieutenant general. Su Yi, who was carrying the rank of major general, stood out in the crowd.

In the face of the Soviet army's crazy counterattack, Su Yi came to the front line and commanded the troops to withstand the Soviet army's crazy counterattack, and the division lost more than half of the battle, and no one retreated. A B division can achieve this result, and the division commander has made great contributions.

Knowing that he had the lowest military rank, Su Yi sat quietly after finding a position in the corner, did not take the initiative to talk to others, lowered his head and kept writing some combat thoughts in a small notebook. To tell the truth, this battle was very hard, the 180th Division went up as the second echelon, in order to break through the Soviet army's city defense, Su Yi concentrated all the 76 mountain artillery and 120 mortars belonging to the division, aimed at a city defense area of about 50 meters and bombarded fiercely, and resisted the Soviet artillery fire for an hour. In just one hour, two-thirds of the casualties of the division's mountain artillery regiment and more than half of the 120 heavy mortars were lost. Because it was a night battle, there was no air support. After paying a huge price, Su Yi stormed this section at any cost with a battalion of troops, and the Soviet army failed to withstand this desperate style of play, and was opened a gap by the 180th Division and held it.

It can be said that looking at the Wehrmacht as a whole, there may have been such a thing in the war 20 years ago, but now those officers who have been formally educated in military academies rarely do so. The reason is simple, the casualties are too great. The 180th Division was on the front line because of Su Yi's personal presence in person, and no one dared to take a step back. After the war, some officers of the front army complained about this, holding that such a war was an inconsiderate practice for soldiers, and although it could be fought hard, it was not advisable.

These rumors were inevitably known to Su Yi, but he was unmoved, and when the officer he was familiar with asked about it, he replied: "In the past, he said that he would support the Northern Expedition, and he once said: He will have the heart of death, and he will not have the idea of greedy for life." Youyun: The brave wins when you meet on the next road! ”

As a graduate of the third phase of Wuhu Land University, Su Yi's promotion in the National Defense Force was relatively slow, and after graduation, he entered the staff department of the Northwest Military Region, and later established the Central Asian Front Army, and he still served as his staff officer. There was no chance to lead troops on the front line, until Liu Mingzhao recognized his talent and appointed him as the commander of the newly formed 180th Division, which gave him the opportunity to show his iron-blooded side of leading troops.

A group of generals had a rare opportunity to get together and talk nonsense, and before the meeting, it was natural that the conversation started, and the whole venue was full of noise, and some of them laughed loudly when they were happy. Su Yi, who was sitting in the corner, looked even more unusual.

This scene lasted until a staff officer walked in from the rostrum, stood in front of the microphone and shouted: "Silence! ”

The sound is so loud that it hurts my ears! Some of these proud soldiers who came down from the battlefield glared at each other, and they saw that it was a small staff officer, and many people were gearing up, ready to rush up to ask others to look good, but the staff officer shouted again: "The president has arrived!" "Now the venue is completely chaotic, the sound of the ping-pong chairs falling to the ground, and the generals who are talking nonsense together, they don't even have time to return to their positions and stand up! Because at this time, Fang Jianxiong had already strode onto the rostrum! Behind him are the main generals of the Central Asian Front, as well as Defense Minister Jiang Fangzhen, Chief of the General Staff Xu Shuzheng and others.

After glancing at the messy scene, Fang Jianxiong smiled, walked to the microphone and said lightly: "Go back to your place and sit down!" There was another burst of chickens and dogs jumping at the scene, and after just a dozen seconds, it was completely quiet, and everyone sat with their chests upright.

They each sat down on the rostrum, and Fang Jianxiong stood alone in the position of the host, raised a manuscript in his hand and asked loudly: "Who is Su Yi?" Stand up! Brush, Su Yi immediately stood up, and Fang Jianxiong said, "Sit down!" ”

Fang Jianxiong returned to his seat and sat down, and Zhang Zhizhong stepped forward to preside over the summary meeting to summarize the war situation in Central Asia in the past six months.

"The purpose of the summing up meeting is to sum up combat experience, popularize good experience, and find ways to improve the deficiencies. Adhering to the meaning of the great president, this campaign only needs to talk about the shortcomings! First of all, I am talking about the fighting spirit, and this campaign has exposed the lack of the spirit of daring to fight on the battlefield in some of our troops. What was the first lesson you take when you enter the military school? I see that some people have forgotten that there would be no war without air support and artillery support, and the Soviet troops rushed up with bayonets, and some officers turned around and ran away. Now stand for me all and read aloud that sentence from the title page of my military ID card! ”

I brush it, and all the venue stands! "The national interest is higher than one qiē! Military honor is life! Nearly 100 generals at the scene followed Zhang Zhizhong aloud to read this sentence, and Fang Jianxiong and others on the rostrum also stood up and read loudly: "The national interest is higher than a qiē!" Military honor is life! ”

Everyone shouted this sentence at the top of their voices, and shouted it three times in total before Zhang Zhizhong stopped!

"Sit down and keep the meeting going!" After a short period of calm at the scene, Zhang Zhizhong continued: "Here I want to commend a division commander, his name is Su Yi!" At the critical moment of the attack on Samarkand, knowing that there was no air support and that the artillery under the unit would be suppressed by Soviet artillery fire, he still risked great sacrifices without hesitation, and concentrated all his artillery fire to shoot at a distance of 1,000 meters. After making great sacrifices, the unit broke through the city defense of the Soviet army, and with a fearless spirit of sacrifice, withstood the crazy counterattack launched by more than three times the strength of the Soviet army, opening the door to victory for the whole army. Hereby, I solemnly announce that after the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff reported to the President for approval, a certain company of the 180th Division of the Wehrmacht was awarded the collective Order of the Golden Star and the glorious title of Heroic Company of Samarkand! Division commander Su Yi, resolute and resolute, went to the front line to fight to the death, personally went into battle with the Soviet army, and won the personal Gold Star Medal. The Ministry of other recipients of the Order of the Gold Star, a total of 33 people. Sadly, these people can no longer stand here to receive the highest honours of the Wehrmacht, because they died in battle. Among these people, the lowest rank is a man, and the highest rank is the regiment commander. ……。 ”

As Zhang Zhizhong spoke slowly, Su Yi stood up silently and stood up with tears in his eyes!

At this time, all that flashed in Su Yi's mind was the fierce battle that night, one of the three regiment commanders was killed, one was seriously injured, and one was slightly injured. The Soviets poured into the gap like a tide, and the barrel of the general-purpose machine gun was too late to change when it was red, and the Soviets fell down like cutting wheat, still drowning forward. Company commander Zhao Xin pulled out a mortar shell as a grenade, and after throwing the shell, he rushed into the middle of the enemy with an explosive bag. At this moment, the momentum of the Soviet army was completely defeated, and the gap was not blocked. It took another ten minutes for the reinforcements to keep up, and it was only ten minutes before Zhao Xin had to sacrifice.

At this time, on the rostrum, Zhao Yi sat beside Fang Jianxiong expressionlessly. Fang Jianxiong looked at Zhao Yu's expression a little worriedly, when Zhang Zhizhong mentioned the company commander Zhao Xin, Zhao Yu's face smiled, it was ugly than crying, but he was very proud.

Speaking of which, there were too many newly formed troops in the entire Central Asian side, and in the course of the battle, in the face of the fierce counterattack of the Soviet army, many troops could not withstand it. Especially during the storming of Samarkand, because of the tenacity of the Soviet army, the speed of the attack and advance of the various units was extremely slow, let alone entering the city, and the outer positions were difficult to clear.

Zhang Zhizhong's summary report lasted for two hours, and the people in the audience sat upright for two hours. Finally finished speaking, Fang Jianxiong stood up and walked to the front of the stage, looked at the generals in the audience and said: "Many of you followed me to raise troops from Wuhu, go to Anqing, go to the Eastern Expedition to the Northern Expedition, fight a decisive battle in Shandong, and Qingdao to fight against the Japanese. But only 20 years have passed, and you have forgotten what is the most important spirit of the Wehrmacht. Here we would like to reiterate once again that the spirit of the Wehrmacht is iron and blood, dedication and sacrifice. There is a lieutenant general among you, who attacked a Soviet division with the strength of an army, and for three days he could not advance 500 meters. As soon as the Soviet army lined up their guns, the troops retreated, what are such troops going to do? What is such a general going to do? I announce that the number of the 50th Army will be revoked, and the commander of the army, Li Chengyu, will be dismissed from some posts, and I will not announce the results of the handling of others one by one. The designation of the Fiftieth Army will never appear in the Wehrmacht sequence. I hope this is the last time! ”

Holding a box in his hand, Zhao Yu walked into the car with trembling steps, turned back to Fang Jianxiong and said, "President, don't send it, I'm fine." Zhao Xin is good, and he didn't lose the face of our Zhao family. Fang Jianxiong silently patted him on the shoulder, didn't say anything more, turned around and waved his hand, and the car drove to the airport.

When he returned to his residence, Su Yi, who had come by order, stood at the door, and Fang Jianxiong saw him with an appreciative look and said, "Su Yi, you are very good, I have read your summary report carefully, and many questions are very sharp." Speaking of which, if the 148th Division had arrived twenty minutes earlier this time, the casualties of the 180th Division would not have been so great. Li Chengyu, a bastard, as a senior in the second phase of the teaching team, is not as good as a junior junior in the war. Just the blocking of one division of the Soviet army can actually defeat one of his infantry divisions. What's that division commander's name? ”

"His name is Tang Erhu, a student in Baoding, and later entered Wuhu Land University for further study, and he has been in reserve since the end of the Northern Expedition." Liu Mingzhao added on the side, and Fang Jianxiong nodded and said, "Send him to the military court!" Tried for ineffective combat! ”

Su Yi didn't say anything, and only after Fang Jianxiong finished speaking did he say to Su Yi: "I have read your summary about the lack of firepower suppression between 150-250, and it is very insightful. The Shenyang Arsenal has been instructed to develop a gun grenade, which should soon be ready for actual combat. By the way, Bo Cheng, the 50th Army revoked the number, it is unfair to those soldiers who fought bravely in the battle, screen it, clean up the top of the entire army, and re-form an army, the number is the 110th Army, Su Yi is the commander, the rank of lieutenant general, and the troops are transferred to the defense line of the Yalu River in Liaodong, so there is no problem, right? You won't complain about me transferring your top soldiers, will you? ”

Liu Mingzhao said: "The Ming edict is frightened, the military takes obedience as their duty, and anyone in the Central Asian Front has to obey the dispatch of the president. I heard that the army has increased its troops in the Far East, and our army must not be guarded! ”

Fang Jianxiong said: "I don't dare to take the initiative to go to war within a year, India and Australia have not yet won, and it is undoubtedly too stupid to provoke China at this time." At present, in the army, the control faction and the imperial faction are evenly matched, and Nagata Tieshan is very sensible, and he will never take the initiative to challenge China.
