Chapter XXIV
"Military affairs can't be guarded against, I'm afraid that he Chen Cheng will be unlucky twice in Shanghai. You can find Chen Cheng and enlighten him, and you can ask him if the farmer will change the direction if he can't move while cutting the tree. ”
Of course, the principal hopes to help Liu Yuan provide supplies for his soldiers, but many things are not unified at all, and they cannot be unified, so Liu Yuan can only let the southwest unify itself, so there is a special material station in Wuhan, and the warehouses here are piled up, all of which are materials needed by the Southwest Special Economic Zone, and Liu Yuan decided to hold these in his hands.
In this regard, Liu Yuan specially looked for Chen Yun and Lin Lijie, and they took Liu Yuan to inspect dozens of warehouses, of course, many of these warehouses were empty, but Liu Yuan still had to observe them personally before he could rest assured.
With the sound of the trumpet, the day's battle was finally over, Shanghai finally returned to tranquility, and the troops became extremely busy with the light left by the setting sun to the world.
The recruits were taken to the battlefield by the veterans, some of the wounded brothers were carried off the battlefield, the children and citizens formed a volunteer team to help transport supplies and ammunition, and some of the people also sent buns, covering them in their arms, they were still hot, and the eyes of the soldiers who ate were full of tears. The little girl secretly brought flowers to the soldiers, and then ran away with a red face.
The veteran's mouth is always unclean, the little soldiers keep their heads down and scolded in the back, the veterans are in a bad mood, and they have to kick them a few times, and occasionally there are Japanese soldiers on the position who are not dead, panting on the ground, and blood bubbles are bubbling in their mouths.
At this time, the veterans will kick them to the front, one person with a bayonet, starting from the thigh, one by one, stabbing one by one, knowing that the little devil is dead, it is not that the veterans are cruel, but only in this way can the recruits go through this too long.
Seeing the recruits squatting on the ground and vomiting, but none of them escaped and peed their pants, the veterans were very relieved, and they began to thank the commander for his militia policy back then.
In Shanghai at night, there was finally some cold feeling, the bloody gas was blown away by the wind a lot, the children held water in their hands to extinguish the fire on the ground, took down the bullets on the devil's body, and hung them around their necks.
Song Xilian was with Zhao Yiman by his side, Song Xilian couldn't learn those gentle and amiable men, he just patted the wounded soldier on the shoulder coldly, "Take a good rest, remember that Lao Tzu is the commander of the 36th Division, don't go back to the wrong unit." ”
"The man with the scar is the most handsome, and when you recover, I will let the female confidential officer in the army dance for you to welcome you." Zhao Yiman touched Bing's forehead.
Bing's eyes were full of tears, and he cried and saluted Zhao Yiman. Zhao Yiman has been promoted to deputy commander of the 36th Division of the National Revolutionary Army because of his repeated military exploits on the battlefield.
"What did the teacher think, he ran back to Chengdu quietly, where he was so angry with the chairman. It doesn't seem like he's too unmotivated. Zhao Yiman rarely shows the appearance of a little daughter, only when mentioning his teacher, will he be like this.
Song Xilian's mind was no longer here at all, he squinted his eyes, thinking about what was happening on the battlefield today, today's losses were too heavy, and many of the troops who had just arrived on the battlefield had lost more than a quarter of their troops.
"Commander-in-Chief Chen Cheng is so old, and he has no rules at all to command the troops, is he using the life and death of our soldiers to accumulate experience for him? It's far from my teacher, at least my teacher won't let his soldiers die. Zhao Yiman didn't care whether Song Xilian listened to it or not, anyway, his teacher was the best soldier in the world.
"It would be nice if your teacher was here, I could desert and let him teach me how to fight, and there is still listening to Chen Mingtu's blind command here, and the principal, he will fight in tandem, and his old man will also come to the front line." Song Xilian said with a wry smile.
"By the way, can Uncle Shi tell me about your time when you were in military school?" Zhao Yiman looked at Song Xilian with a gossipy look.
"I'm still a little bit younger in Whampoa, do you know the way? I was only seventeen years old that year, and I became classmates with your teacher, how much pressure was there, at that time, there were twin stars in Huangpu, Liu Yuan and Xu Ke, which were first-class talents. We're breathless. Song Xilian recalled.
"Aren't Gemini Xing teachers and Uncle Jiang Xianyun?" Zhao Yiman said puzzled.
"How can there be him Jiang Wushan, there was a guy named Xu Ke at that time, civil and military all-rounder, chic and dignified, able to poetry and endowment, but his fate was not good, when he participated in the parade, he was killed by the enemy with a shot, and he Jiang Xianyun was made up later, so this life is also very important." Du Yuming said with a sigh.
Song Xilian and Zhao Yiman returned to the division headquarters and found that the atmosphere at the division headquarters was not very good, and the chief of staff walked over to Xianju with a frown, "Senior, the devil has launched a large-scale attack on Luodian and Dachang, Chen Cheng ordered us to retreat to the west of Suzhou Creek tonight." ”
"Luodian and Dachang. It's a lot of food, Huang Wei and the others are not something that ordinary people can compare, especially Huang Wei, that kid can get the true biography of Liu Yuan and Xu Ke, even if the little devil is powerful, they can't do it. Song Xilian asked incomprehensibly.
"If they have increased their troops, the former enemy command will not joke with us." Zhao Yiman asked Xiang Xianju.
Xiang Xianju has always looked down on this female officer, but his brain is really fast, even faster than Song Xilian's reflection.
"The sister of the Zhao family is really smart, the ninth division of the Japanese army is here." Xiang Xianju said with a word.
"They're coming, it's no longer interesting for us to stay here, let's go, retreat overnight. Let the wounded and children go first, and the others retreat in the order of the regiment's losses. Song Xilian commanded.
Song Xilian was in a very bad mood, and he had yelled at the soldiers of the busy division several times, and Xiang Xianju wanted to persuade him hard, but he was rejected by Zhao Yiman waving his hand.
"Strategically, our retreat to Suzhou Creek is a victory. This is completely in line with the spirit of my teacher. Zhao Yiman persuaded.
"I know what Lu Dao Fuguo thinks, but there is a reason why I still listen to Chen Cheng's orders, because I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, there are 18,000 brothers in the whole division, and more than 9,000 are left here for me to retreat, how can I explain to their families, they will call me a coward." At this time, Song Xilian was fragile like a child.
"Uncle Shi, as a general, you shouldn't have this kind of emotion. It's okay for me to talk about it as a junior, but if you let others persuade you, it won't be good if it spreads. Zhao Yiman reminded.
"Hmmm! I will obey orders. Song Xilian was as cold as ice and said with a sigh of relief.
The Japanese noticed the movement of the Nationalist position, but the Japanese thought that China might attack at night, and their attack during the day was too terrible, so they thought that the Nationalist army was attacking, not retreating, so the Japanese army was rumoring for a whole night, and Song Xilian and they had retreated to the west of Suzhou Creek.
After Matsui Ishine learned the truth, he angrily slashed the command table. If it weren't for his cowardice last night, the result would have been perfect, so Matsui was furious and decided to continue to increase his troops, cross the Suzhou Creek, and repel the Chinese troops.
But at this time, Matsui Ishine received a telegram from Ishihara Waner, and he had to give up this decision.
