[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 182: Commendation and Addition!

Lao Jiang was not angry at Wang Shihe's reckless behavior, he knew Wang Shihe, and if it wasn't for a particularly urgent matter, he wouldn't have broken in like this.

"Shihe, why are you so flustered, the sky can't fall!" Lao Jiang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, commission, it's a reckless duty!" Wang Shihe also realized that there was something wrong with his behavior just now, and immediately said.

"What the hell happened, you just said that Jiujiang was a great victory, wasn't Jiujiang captured by the Japanese, where did it come from? It can't be that the people below are lying about their exploits, right? Lao Jiang asked with a frown.

"Sitting, I just received a battle report from the Ninth Theater Command, the Seventh Division attacked the 11th Squadron of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet yesterday night, completely annihilating its main force, and capturing 32 large and small ships. In the early hours of this morning, he took a boat down the river to attack Jiujiang City, sinking six Japanese troop carriers along the way, and the 47th Wing of the Japanese Sixth Division was all driven to the bottom of the river, and the whole army was annihilated. ”

Then I continued: "At 5 o'clock in the morning, the 7th Division captured Jiujiang City, Ma Zheng personally led the main force south to outflank the rear road of the Botian detachment, and fought a bloody battle with the Botian detachment at Lion Rock outside Jiujiang City for two hours, completely annihilating the detachment, and the Japanese chief Lieutenant General Hatian Shigeichi was killed. ”

With a "bang", Lao Jiang sat up from his seat suddenly, and asked eagerly: "Shihe, has the battle report been verified, is it true?" ”

"Back to the commission, the Ninth War Zone has already verified, this matter is true, now the Seventh Division is stationed in Jiujiang City, and more than 30 warships of all sizes are also controlled by Ma Zheng's department!" Wang Shihe immediately replied.

"How did they do the night attack on the Japanese fleet, as far as I can say, the Seventh Division does not have a navy?" Lao Jiang asked suspiciously.

"Commission, there is no explanation for this matter in the Ninth Theater, but what is certain is that the Seventh Division did completely annihilate the 11th Squadron of the Japanese Army. And also captured almost all of their battleships! Wang Shihe said.

"Okay, good, worthy of being a Chinese magic general, this Ma Zheng really lives up to the government's expectations of him!" Lao Jiang said excitedly.

He Yingqin reminded in a low voice on the side: "Commission, it is the Duqi Division that has recovered Jiujiang!" ”

How could Lao Jiang not understand what He Yingqin meant, but this time the look on Lao Jiang's face did not change, and he immediately said, "Respect." Although the Duqi Division is subordinate to Yan'an, it is also a battle sequence subordinate to our National Revolutionary Army, and we must treat all troops equally, so that there will be more troops like the Duqi Division fighting to drive out the Japanese invaders! ”

"Yes, I am too narrow-minded!" He Yingqin said immediately.

"What about the casualties of the Duqi Division?" Lao Jiang asked again.

"It is extremely heavy, according to the report of the Ninth War Zone, it is said that more than half of the casualties of the Seventh Division have been killed! The commander of the 7th Division requested the Ninth Theater to replenish the 7th Division, and also requested the Ninth Theater to send strong troops to take over the defense of Jiujiang. Wang Shihe said immediately.

"It should be supplemented. Let the 9th Theater draw a regiment of troops from each unit to supplement the 7th Division! In addition, all the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Division were commended, and all of them were promoted to the next level! "Old Jiang Dao.

"Yes!"

In addition, Chen Cheng was asked to mobilize two divisions to be stationed in Jiujiang City to take over the defense of Jiujiang. Tell Chen Cheng to let him choose a good person this time, don't lose Jiujiang after less than three days like last time! ”

"Commission, Tang Enbo's 13th Army is now outside Jiujiang City, and they found out in the middle of the night that the Botian detachment suddenly retreated, so they chased after it! In the end, it was not until Lion Rock that the abandoned body of the Potian detachment was found, and it was judged that someone was attacking Jiujiang. The army commander Wang Zhonglian immediately decided to help. Wang Shihe said.

"You mean the 13th Army also took part in this campaign?" Lao Jiang hurriedly asked.

Wang Shihe naturally knew what Lao Jiang meant, and said hesitantly: "Wang Zhonglian's department really wants to participate in the war. Unfortunately, by the time they arrived, the battle was already over. ”

"That's also commendable courage, the general order commends the 13th Army! Without the 13th Army in front to attract the main force of the Japanese army, the Duqi Division would have been able to recover Jiujiang so smoothly! Lao Jiang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, what the commission said makes sense, although tactically it is said that the Duqi Division is the main force, but strategically the 13th Army has also made great efforts." Wang Shihe said immediately.

"There you go. Send my orders to the Ninth War Zone word for word! "Old Jiang Dao.

"Yes! Let's do it! After speaking, Wang Shihe turned around and walked out.

After Wang Shihe left, Lao Jiang sat down again, and then asked, "Jingzhi, what do you think about this?" ”

"Commission, it seems that this Duqi Division is really an elite team of a hundred battles. There is no vanity under the fame! It's a pity that after this battle, the elite of the Eighth Route Army is wasted! He Yingqin said in a deep voice.

"It's just more than half of the casualties, so it shouldn't be scrapped!" Lao Jiang said in a deep voice.

"Commission, more than half of these casualties were reported by the Duqi Division itself, and it completely annihilated a Japanese fleet, an infantry wing and a complete detachment, how could the Duqi Division only have more than half of the casualties so simple! According to the ratio of casualties to one, the casualties of the 7th Division should also be more than 890 percent. More than half of the casualties are just not wanting us to see their jokes, to deceive ourselves! He Yingqin said.

"Even so, the combat effectiveness of this army is still terrifying, this division is only six or seven thousand people, and last night it wiped out the entire three wings of the Japanese army and a large fleet, and the Japanese army lost at least about 10,000 soldiers in this battle, and the vanguard of the Central China Army to attack Wuhan was considered to have suffered heavy losses." Old Jiang Dao.

"It's still a clever commission, and I just let Yan'an transfer this elite to the Wuhan battlefield, and now it not only reverses the tide of the war, but also consumes the strength of Yan'an, killing two birds with one stone! One more time, the elite of the Duqi Division will probably disappear from the battle sequence of the Eighth Route Army! Dai Li took the opportunity to slap Lao Jiang on the back.

And He Yingqin on the side said: "Commission, in the opinion of humble duty, we can't let this army disappear now!" ”

"Why is that?" Lao Jiang immediately asked.

According to the following statistics, since the Seventh Division has won several big victories in the north one after another, the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people throughout the country has been rising day by day, which is one of them. Second, because the commission has made clear rewards and punishments for the Duqi Division, the combat atmosphere of the troops on the front line has also been greatly improved, especially the troops of those local warlords, and the proportion of those who flee without a fight has dropped greatly! The third is that the criticism of the committee by the media has also decreased a lot. He Yingqin replied.

"Then with respect, do you mean to continue to keep the Duqi Division?"

"Well, the Seventh Division is now an example set by the government, and if the example falls, the consequences will be very serious. What's more, the Duqi Division is indeed a capable army, so it's a pity to consume it directly! He Yingqin said in a deep voice.

"Jingzhi, you have talked to Ma Zheng, what do you think of this person, is there any possibility of wooing?" Lao Jiang asked suddenly.

"Bench, humble view Ma Zheng This person is a real soldier, although he is young, but he behaves quite well, and he is really a first-class talent. Moreover, this person has a very high level of combat command and has the talent of a general, which is really a rare general. But when it comes to whether it can be co-opted, I think it's unlikely! ”

"It's a pity!" Lao Jiang sighed and said.

"Commission, in fact, it doesn't matter if Ma Zheng is co-opted or not, as long as he is dedicated to resisting Japan. Because our biggest enemy now is the Japanese, it would be useful for us that he could fight the Japanese. ”

Then He Yingqin said again: "In addition, Ma Zheng dared to engage in large-scale bloody battles with the Japanese, and he was also good at attacking operations, such as the Battle of Zhangjiakou, the Battle of Northwest Jin, and the same with the Battle of Jiujiang. It seems that this person doesn't seem to be very interested in Mao's guerrilla tactics, and with such a general here, Yan'an may not be a blessing! ”

Lao Jiang is also an understanding person, and after thinking about it, he understood what He Yingqin meant, and immediately said: "Well, what Jingzhi said makes sense!" In this way, let the Ninth Theater transfer another regiment to the Duqi Division, so that they don't want to be perfunctory, and they must mobilize the elite! ”

"Yes!"
