"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, great news, our army has achieved a great victory in Madang, annihilating nearly 50,000 Japanese troops, and the 11th Army Corps of the Japanese army has been exhausted! Lieutenant General Yamada Joji, commander of the 112th Division, was killed, and Lieutenant General Munetake Yamamuro, commander of the 11th Division, was captured alive......"

On the streets of Guangzhou, newspaper sellers poked their heads out of the newsstands, waved the "Xuebingjun Daily" in their hands and shouted loudly, and the people around them who were hurrying to work immediately rushed to the news. Bring me a copy! "I want one!" …… Soon, thirty copies of the "Cadet Army Daily" were sold out.

More and more people poured up to hear the good news, and later people couldn't buy the "Xuebing Army Daily", so they were so anxious that they shouted, and some people shouted: "Boss, why did you get into such a little bit?" ”

The boss smiled and said loudly: "Don't worry, don't worry, the "Xuebing Army Daily" is gone, and the "Guangzhou Daily" and "Renqiu Times" are still there, and there are also reports on them. "Guangzhou Daily" also published a review of Mei Lanshu——"

"Give me a copy of Guangzhou Daily!"

Madang's victory was first publicized by the reporters accompanying the army in the media belonging to the student army, which immediately caused Guangzhou to be expensive. For the people of Guangzhou, Guangdong, Fujian, and Hainan, the Xuebing Army is their children's soldiers. Such a great victory for the soldiers naturally aroused the ecstasy and revelry of the people. The next day, no one organized it, and celebrations broke out in Guangzhou, Fujian, and Qiongzhou. On the afternoon of the same day, more than 100 shops in Guangzhou announced price reductions to celebrate the victory, and at the same time announced that in order to show their support for the front-line soldiers, all families with military family certificates could get a small gift of about five yuan for free......

Not only in the military areas under the jurisdiction of the Cadet Army, but also in other parts of the country, celebrations are also taking place. In Chongqing, although the authorities dispatched military and police to expel those who participated in the celebration procession in the name of stability, the smiles on people's faces could not be concealed when they talked. At present, the Chinese people need this victory too much to boost the morale of the people. A large area of the country has fallen, the national army has been defeated repeatedly on the frontal battlefield, and the remarks of "destroying the country" are all over the place, whether they are old or childish, but as long as they have a concept of right and wrong, they are always looking forward to the news of victory. At this time, the student army has achieved such a great victory, so it is actually normal to cause any kind of scene.

Guangzhou, where the General Headquarters of the Xuebing Army is stationed, Ji Xingwen, as the highest commander left behind, has become the busiest person. Congratulatory telegrams from all walks of life, congratulatory telegrams and commendation telegrams from Chongqing authorities, congratulatory telegrams from overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese associations...... Telegrams flew in like snowflakes from all over the world, and the content of his work during this period was completely monopolized by reply telegrams.

Of these, the most striking telegram naturally came from the highest authorities in Chongqing. The highest authorities highly praised the outstanding achievements of the Cadet Army, and awarded the supreme commander of the campaign, Ouyang Yunqingtian, a medal of the White Sun, and a medal each to Ye Zhao and He Zheng. In addition, a bonus of 100,000 yuan will be given, and the concession department will withdraw to the jurisdiction for recuperation......

Madang, just when everyone in the country was cheering and cheering for the achievements of the Cadet Army, Ouyang Yun and other senior officials of the Northbound Army were counting the battle losses in a heavy mood.

Although the 106th Division of the Japanese Army moved towards Pengze in strict accordance with Okamura Ninji's orders, it was never able to break through the defensive line laid by the 12th Division. When Cotton Boat Island was bombarded indiscriminately by a group of artillery, Nakajima Kimura saved time and took advantage of the situation and decisively issued an order to retreat. The 106th Division had only four brigades left, and Nakajima was worried that there would be a danger of being attacked from behind by the Cadet Army, so he chose to march to Duchang, and then take Panyang, preparing to return to the Japanese-controlled area from the southeast.

Jiangbei's troops were still fighting with the Japanese army, but Ouyang Yun was not worried at all about whether they would be able to break through the Japanese encirclement. Just kidding, there are as many as six regiments of tank units moving with the army, and with the current level of armored forces of the Japanese army, the Jiangbei troops are invincible, at least, the Japanese army does not want to take too much advantage. Of course, considering that the Japanese army would definitely redeploy air forces from China and other places, the evacuation of the Jiangbei team was also imperative.

In the first battle of Madang, outsiders only saw how many devils the Xuebing Army had eliminated, but they didn't know how much the Daoist Xuebing Army had paid for it. In terms of the ratio of battle losses, the losses of the cadet army are absolutely acceptable. However, as cadet soldiers, Ouyang Yun naturally hoped that the sacrifice would be as little as possible. In the Battle of Madang, the Northbound Army really participated in the battle, in fact, the 12th Division stationed at Hukou and the 3rd Division stationed in Pengze. Among them, the 12th Division lost a brigade, and the 3rd Division lost one and a half brigades, and if you count the nearly half of the brigade lost by the troops directly under the corps, the losses of the Cadet Corps have reached one division. This level of casualties is unprecedented since the formation of the Scholar Army-Ouyang Yun looked at the list of more than thirty pages of dead officers and soldiers submitted by Ye Zhao and He Zhengchuan, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Many names were familiar to Ren Qiu when he was there. They followed him to the north and south, never to leave, but in this foreign land, they fell. "Shi Chang, after you go back, you set up a special team to investigate the living conditions of the bereaved families of the fallen soldiers, and if there is any difficulty, report it to the General Political Department and let President Ji handle it at his discretion," Ouyang Yun said, putting away the list of the dead.

Chen Shichang nodded and said, "Ye Zhao just came back with a telegram, they successfully ambushed Okamura Ningci in Mai Yuan in Taihu County, and the old devil threw away his armor and went to the hidden mountain with the remnants. ”

Ouyang Yun nodded and asked, "How many people are there in Ye Zhao's hands now?" ”

"More than 2,000, the day before yesterday, they just rebelled against a brigade of Taiwanese soldiers. He originally wanted to capture Okamura Ningji alive, but he didn't expect to be slipped away by the old devil. ”

"Let them withdraw to Jiangbei. Okay, with these 2,000 people as an example, in the future, when the Japanese want to recruit Taiwanese, they will have to think about it. Is there a telegram from Taiwan, and the headquarters, has there been a telegram recently? ”

"The Japanese army continues to increase its troops in Taiwan, but we have air force support, and the Japanese army cannot take large-scale clearance operations, and now, Tainan has been firmly controlled by our Taiwan Corps."

"What about Stern? What's the situation on their end? ”

"Commander Stern sent a telegram that they had just fought a battle with the little devils, and the Japanese army was defeated and lost, and they took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield. Commander Stern said in a telegram that his fully mechanized troops were not as good as the guerrillas on the Fujian-Zhejiang border, and he asked to enter the frontal battlefield. ”

"It seems that Stern didn't get the big win he expected. Also, the input of the Jewish Independence Army is much higher than ours, but the output is mediocre, oh, it seems that the Jewish Chamber of Commerce is not satisfied. I'll talk about this in more detail when I get back. Ladies and gentlemen, Chen Cheng's forward will arrive in Pengze in three days, and you should hurry up and do a good job in dealing with the aftermath. As soon as Chen arrives, we will return to the division immediately! ”

"Yes!"
