Chapter 318: The Battle of Nanchang Ends
When the shouting of Gao Shanlin stopped, 42 hours had passed since the main force of the Youth Army had withdrawn.
Qing Shui Xizhong inspected the battlefield with a solemn face, the corpses of the Japanese army and the national army were stacked together, you have me, I have you, many people died together, and from time to time you can see a circle of blackened corpses, which was killed by someone pulling a grenade. Blood flowed everywhere, and there was even a small blood lake in the low-lying place, which made Qing Shui Xizhong's brain appear the four big characters of bleeding and drifting.
Suddenly, Shimizu Kishige heard a shout and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Report, a living Shina officer has been found, and we are preparing to capture him." A staff officer replied after inquiring.
"Then it's good to take prisoners, can't you catch one person?" Qing Shui asked sharply.
"This guy is tenacious, and he just killed one of our soldiers." The staff officer lowered his head and said, "But he is the only one alive, so we still want to capture him alive." ”
"Let's go, let's see." As he spoke, Shimizu Kishige walked to the middle of the people who had formed a circle, and his eyes widened suddenly, he was horrified to see a pile of corpses one or two meters high, surrounded by a big tree, and a young army officer holding a military flag that was only half left, leaning against the tree, looking down at the Japanese troops surrounding him.
"Surrender quickly, now you are the only one left, you can't escape, hurry up and lay down your arms, the imperial army will treat the prisoners preferentially." The interpreter shouted loudly, and the man remained motionless as if he could not hear him.
"Are you dead?" Qing Shui asked softly.
"I'm too lazy to talk to a dog." The officer said with a frown, and the bruises on his hands flared up, as if he was enduring something.
"What's your name? What is the position and the unit to which it belongs? Shimizu asked really, and the translator next to him immediately translated.
"Lao Tzu is Ye Qing, the commander of the first battalion of the 201st Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Youth Army! Who is the barking dog below? Ye Qing moved slowly, and the military flag supported his body from falling.
"The contemptible person is the commander of the 116th Division, Qing Shui Xizhong, you are very good, you are real soldiers, you surrender, I will guarantee you to be a division commander." Qing Shui Xizhong looked at Ye Qing, who was covered in blood and murderous, and couldn't help but be moved by his love for talent.
"Hahahaha, since ancient times, only dogs descend people, where is the reason why someone descends a dog, don't you want my life, take it, our Youth Army National Army China still has thousands of Ye Qing, they take your life for me, but unfortunately, I don't have a grenade by my side, otherwise I will make you noisy here?" Ye Qing said as he spurted out a mouthful of blood, he was already seriously injured, and he just relied on a breath to hold it there.
"Oh? Want to die? I'm afraid you can't help it. A cold voice came, and a team of strangely dressed Japanese soldiers came over.
Looking at this unit, Ye Qing's eyes widened, not because of anything else, but because this unit was too much like the guard that escorted him abroad, the camouflage uniform, the steel helmet and short gun, the expressionless soldier, although he had only seen it once, and he didn't know whose troop it was, but this strange feeling made him always remember it in his heart.
"Huh? You seem to know something, well, catch alive. The leading officer smiled and waved his hand, and the two figures rushed forward quickly.
Ye Qing knew that he wanted to capture himself alive, and he did know something that could not be revealed, Ye Qing took out a bayonet and stabbed himself in the chest, the bayonet entered the flesh, and in the severe pain, Ye Qing felt a kind of relief.
"Well, no, I didn't let you die, how could you die by yourself?" Ye Qing suddenly found that his hand seemed to be caught in an iron clamp, and he could no longer move. The two Japanese soldiers grabbed him with their hands, and the Japanese officer slowly walked up, twisting his body as if dancing, indescribably weird.
"Who are you?" Ye Qing asked loudly.
"Hehe, it's my rudeness, my name is Shigeo Takeshita, and I am the young assistant of the Takeshita Advance Team of the Imperial Army of Japan, and I am directly subordinate to the base camp." Saying that, Shigeo Takeshita looked back at Shimizu Kishishige, who had a dissatisfied face, and said, "General Shimizu, we're going to take this person away, I'm sorry." ”
Qing Shui Xi gritted his teeth, glanced at Ye Qing with pity, and stomped away. The staff officer next to him hurriedly followed up and asked, "Your Excellency the division commander, he is just a young minister, why should we be afraid of him?" ”
Qing Shui Xi glanced at the staff officer again and said, "It's very simple, this Shao Zuo has just cut off the head of Chen Anbao, the general of the National Army, whoever fights with him at this time will definitely be considered by the base camp to suppress the virtuous, that's it, let's go." It's a pity for this warrior. ”
-- Ganzhou
Looking at the telegram, he only felt a sweetness in his throat, and desperately pressed it for a while, guessing right Wang Sheng next to him and asked, "We retreated like this?" Such a big battle of Nanchang ended like this? ”
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "Our youth army has suffered heavy casualties in this battle, Hu Lian came to report, and of the 20,000 people who pulled up, only less than 4,000 were intact, even if they returned to the team after being injured in the future, it would not exceed 8,000, especially the officers, because they were competing for the lead, and the casualty rate was very large." ”
vented his anger on the head of Xue Yue, the commander of this battle, and scolded loudly, "One general is incompetent, tired to death of the three armies, I now completely know what it means to be incompetent, we have so many more people than the Japanese army, and we have cut off the logistics line of the Japanese army, and we have actually fought like this, losing the division and losing the ground, such a general should be pulled down and shot." ”
Wang Sheng hurriedly covered ******'s mouth, looked back at no one else, and said, "Childe, this Xue Yue is the commander of the military region, and his official position is much higher than yours. ”
I was so anxious that I wanted to jump up, but the pain from the wound made him lie on the bed honestly and said, "I'm anxious and angry, look at Yan'an in the north, it's a winning streak, what about us?" Is it a loss every step of the way, what do the people think? What do the troops think? They are all the same Chinese, and their main officers are also from Baoding and Huangpu, how can people win battles, but we can't? In my opinion, it is still a problem of the commander, if we continue like this, we will be in danger, and we must be severely punished, and if we do not punish us, we will not be able to boost the morale of the army. And that Liu Duoquan, doesn't Xue Yue know that he has always been at odds with the chairman? This time the reinforcements have not been available for a long time, I think they did it on purpose, these warlords, they just can't stand the fact that there are soldiers in the jurisdiction who are not their own, and I want to sue them well. ”
Wang Shenghao said that ****** still a telegram was sent to Chongqing and came to the desk of Jiang Zhong.
"One crime is losing the city and losing land, the second crime is improper command, the third crime is ineffective rescue, the fourth crime is not knowing the person, the fifth crime is incompetent, and the sixth crime is "
"Enough!!" Jiang Huang stood up abruptly and scolded, "Niang Xipi, what does he think he is?" Let him manage a youth army and really think of himself as a general? The rescue is still ineffective, does he still want to teach Xue Yue how to fight? Does he remember who he is? He ****** not a general, if he wants to be a general, I will give him a gun and go to the front line myself!! Niang Xipi's dog mongrel, it's the other way around! ”
Chen Bui didn't dare to say that Jiang Intermediary scolded himself too, and laughed quietly, "Childe is also patriotic, and his heart is good." ”
Jiang Zheng glared and said, "What I'm afraid of is not that I can't do it well, but that I'm afraid that I have the ability to do something wrong." Send a telegram to me and scold me well, I'll write a letter and immediately give me an airdrop to Ganzhou! ”
"As a human king, you should not think about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and you should not think about the victory or defeat of an army and a division.
Looking at this, I didn't understand it for a long time.
At this time, Wang Sheng ran over and said with a smile, "Childe, there is really you, I thought you really wanted to send a message to ask for punishment of Xue Yue and Liu Duoquan, it turned out to be for them to ask for credit, look at what you wrote, and said that Liu Duoquan's reinforcements are not only unfavorable to the sky, but also beyond human reach, Liu Duoquan's troops have trekked through mountains and rivers, and it has been extremely hard, and you must not hurt the hearts of the army, and the cold generals will be willing, and now public opinion is saying that you are selfless, saying that we are here to make peace." Look, this is Xue Yue's thank you letter, as well as Liu Duoquan's thank you letter. ”
His eyes widened, and he looked carefully at the secret letter given to him by Jiang Zhong, and he suddenly understood, ******After all, he has studied dialectics, and the victory and defeat can be changed, and the gains and losses can be changed.
"That's what he did? The blood of more than 10,000 soldiers of my youth army was shed in vain? They did not ask for the credit, but first asked for the credit of the defeated general, which is the truth? Although ****** understood that Jiang Intermediary was doing this for his own good, indeed, this could get the favor of Xue Yue and Liu Duoquan, and he could also mix sand in the army in the name of replenishing troops, but he ****** not Jiang Intermediary after all, he couldn't be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
Suddenly a little sad, he suddenly felt that he was not suitable to be a politician, and his blood was still hot.
"Commissioner, Mr. Jiang's telegram." Zhang Yaruo came in with a telegram and said.
Take a look, the above is to the effect that the above is to persuade ****** not to be depressed, the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is not a two-way battle can be fought, the Youth Army has been sharpened after this battle, it is the time to make persistent efforts and sum up the lessons, and said that because of this battle, the name of the Youth Army has spread overseas, and he has gathered many overseas Chinese young people who are willing to return to China, and they are on the way one after another.
His heart warmed and nodded, this is the victory and defeat in his heart, and the gains and losses can be changed. With his eyes closed, he silently said in his heart, "Father, I will never be you, the road I want to take is my own road, time will prove that your path of thousands of years of feudal rule will not work, people's hearts are not bought, but obtained by doing things." ”
The Battle of Nanchang was over, Okamura Ningji was firmly seated in Nanchang City, and the safety of the Yangtze River waterway was guaranteed, while Chiang in Chongqing was worried about the upcoming secret peace talks in Hong Kong, and at the same time pondered how to balance Yan'an.
In Germany, Jiang Cheng got the first big order from the arsenal.
"Owner, 50,000 people's equipment, this list is enough for us to eat for a while." Chen Nan said happily.
Jiang Cheng said to Chen Nan with disdain, "This is just the beginning, although Goering values our weapons, but these 50,000 people are just what he is going to equip for the air force and paratroopers. ”
Chen Nan hurriedly said yes, and Jiang Cheng continued, "Order the factory to increase horsepower production, and also, the research and development of our engines and other things must also be accelerated." ”
After Chen Nan responded, Jiang Cheng let Chen Nan leave, and he traveled back to modern times to transport machinery and equipment and materials for Shanxi again.
-- Taiyuan
Yan Xishan looked at the battle report and shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I thought at first that Nanchang would become the second provincial capital to be recovered." ”
Mr. Zhu nodded and said, "It's a pity, but we don't have a navy, and we are extremely passive on the big rivers, so we can only defend against the enemy with mines and other things." ”
Mr. Peng looked down on Xue Yue a little and said, "This Xue Yue, careless, must have been dizzy by Wanjialing, Okamura Ningci must not have known such a big move, this battle is like Lu Meng's crossing the river in white back then." ”
Zuo Quan agreed and said, "For the way of the general, you should first cure the heart." Mount Tai collapsed in front and the color remained unchanged, and the elk was on the left and did not look instantly, and then it could control the interests and harms, and it could treat the enemy. The chairman told us to look in the mirror three times and twice, and asked us to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically. ”
Fu Zuoyi next to him was stunned when he heard this, and he realized something, but he didn't speak.
Yang Aiyuan said, "General Xue is already a fierce general in our national army, this is Okamura Ningji is too cunning. ”
Mr. Zhu disagreed and said, "That's right, but Xue Yue's carelessness is also true, but I think this Xue Yue is not that Guan Yunchang, he suffered a big loss this time, but was rewarded by the chairman of the committee, I am afraid that he will be ashamed and brave, I think he is Meng Mingshi, Bai Yibing." In the future, the Japanese army will definitely be taught a lesson. ”
Yan Xishan glanced at Mr. Zhu, but he didn't expect Mr. Zhu to comment on Xue Yue like this, in the past few months, Yan Xishan and others no longer have any action to resist, Yan Xishan has repeatedly asked to return to his hometown, even if he is in charge, he is only willing to be responsible for education and transportation. Mr. Zhu, Zhou Guansheng and others took turns to persuade before giving up, and Mr. Zhu even asked Yan Xishan, Yang Aiyuan, and Wei Lihuang to participate in every military meeting or major event, and even let Yan Xishan sit on the main seat to show respect. Slowly, the three of them also went from not saying a word at the beginning to saying a few words, such a change made everyone from Yan'an to Taiyuan let go of the boulder in their hearts.
Wei Lihuang changed the subject and said, "Having said that, as long as the Japanese navy is not destroyed, it will be too difficult for us to completely win this battle." (To be continued.) )
