Chapter 547: Welcome to the Path
After listening to Wang Haitao's judgment, Tang Renxin and Su Zuxin both nodded, and Tang Renxin asked again: "Junzao, what about the Japanese army who fled back to Qinzhou? Do you want to catch up and give him another time?" Wang Haitao shook his head and said: "The main force of Honma Masaharu's Fourteenth Army has been completely annihilated, and the rest is estimated to be one. With 20,000 men and horses, they don't dare to provoke us again, but Qinzhou City is close to the bay, and the Japanese troops guarding Qinzhou City can be supported by large-caliber naval guns from warships at sea. ”
Wang Haitao's words made Su Zuxin thoughtful, and after a while, Su Zuxin asked: "What does the military seat mean by the Japanese army on the Vietnamese side?" Wang Haitao nodded and said: "Yes, the second division of the Japanese army and an infantry brigade on the Vietnamese side are attacking Pingxiang, and now the 93rd Division is in danger of defending it, and the Japanese army cannot attack it for the time being." But since the Japanese dare to stretch out their claws to us, we will unceremoniously behead it. The claw of the Fourteenth Army has been cut off, and we will also cut off the claw stretched out by the Vietnamese side. ”
Wang Haitao's words made everyone in the headquarters excited again. Wang Haitao continued: "Renxin, after you let the troops clean up the battlefield, hurry up and rest for a few days, leave the troops to guard Chongzuo, and then take the rest of the troops back to Longzhou." The chief of staff of the Soviet Union and I will rush back to Longzhou City tomorrow to make arrangements for dealing with the Japanese army in Vietnam, and besides, the condolence group sent by the Chongqing side is still in Longzhou City, and it is not appropriate for me to leave for too long. ”
After Tang Renxin agreed to come down, Wang Haitao went back to rest. As soon as Wang Haitao returned to his residence on the front foot, Tang Longzai followed him on the back foot, Wang Haitao asked a little strangely: "Longzai, is there anything wrong?" Tang Longzai replied: "Brother-in-law, Chongzuo has eliminated a lot of small Japan here, but I have always been nested in the city, you hit the little Japan in Vietnam this time, can you send our division up?"
Wang Haitao replied: "Why, you haven't been addicted to Chongzuo here, and you still want to go to Vietnam?" Tang Longzai said: "This time, I just watched the 90th Division and the 210th Division fight, and I didn't even go to the front line, so how can I talk about it? Brother-in-law, let's bring our division with little Japan who fought Vietnam!" Wang Haitao deliberately replied with a straight face: "You let the troops rest and recuperate first, and as for the use of your division in the army to fight Vietnam, wait until I go back to Longzhou to draw up a battle plan." ”
Tang Longzai saw that Wang Haitao had a lower face, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only leave first, as soon as Tang Longzai left, Wang Haitao smiled dangerously. Early the next morning, Wang Haitao, Su Zuxin, and Li Li, a few reporters, returned to Longzhou City from Chongzuo City under the protection of a guard battalion. Yesterday, Li Li and her reporters were very busy, and the interview on the battlefield shocked everyone, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers piled up into a hill, including dozens of Japanese officers including Lieutenant General Makino Shiro and Japanese Major General Sadamao Ishimoto, all made them gain a lot from the interview.
But it also made them suffer, the strong smell of blood, and the cruel battle scene made these reporters who had never been on the battlefield vomit, and they still had to take pictures and records. At the end of the day, no one had the appetite to eat, and even when he slept, he had nightmares. In the morning, Wang Haitao saw that Li Li and the others were listless, and knew that the bloody battlefield was too stimulating for them, and they didn't rest well, so he comforted them and transferred two cars for them to ride.
Wang Haitao's concern made Li Li and the others very grateful, especially Li Li, after going to the front yesterday, she understood how cruel the battle commanded by Wang Haitao, the army commander, thought that he was fighting step by step from such a mountain of corpses and blood, and his view of Wang Haitao was even more different, and the terms tough guy, iron-blooded soldier, and hero were also really associated with Wang Haitao.
In the afternoon, when Wang Haitao and his entourage returned to Longzhou City, the squires and people in the city welcomed Wang Haitao and them back at the city gate. This is the news of Chongzuo City's great victory over the Japanese army, and after arriving in Longzhou City, the people spontaneously organized to welcome Wang Haitao and his party who returned from victory.
In the crowd, Wang Haitao and others got out of the car, and in the crowd, Wang Haitao saw Tang Lao, Feng Gu and his son, and also saw Wang Wenxuan, the head of the Chongqing condolence group. No matter what Wang Wenxuan's purpose was for coming to Longzhou City, now they were like the people in the city, with a heartfelt smile on their faces.
Wang Haitao walked quickly to the front of the old Tang and the squires in front of the queue and saluted. The squires said one after another: "Thank you to Commander Wang for leading the team to eliminate Little Japan, so that we can live with peace of mind!" Wang Haitao said with a smile: "Uncle Yue, fellow villagers, it is the mission of our soldiers to eliminate Little Japan and drive Little Japan out of China.
Wang Haitao's words caused thunderous applause and cheers from the people present. Then the people consciously stood in two rows on the side of the road, led by the lion dance team and the dragon dance team, and welcomed Wang Haitao and his entry into the city. Li Li and her reporters were also infected by the enthusiasm of the people, forgot about their discomfort and fatigue, and excitedly entered the city with Wang Haitao.
Wang Haitao came to Wang Wenxuan again, and after exchanging military salutes, Wang Wenxuan said: "Commander Wang led his division of Huben to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army, which is really gratifying, and I will definitely report truthfully to the Ministry of Military Affairs and ask for credit for Commander Wang and the 90th Army." Wang Haitao also replied with a smile: "Director Lao Wang has said kind words in front of Shangfeng." After speaking, he smiled and entered the city with Wang Wenxuan and others.
Tang Renli had already set up a celebration banquet in Guangfu Building, and Wang Haitao, Su Zuxin, Wang Wenxuan, and their condolence group, as well as Li Li, and reporters came to Guangfu Building together. After sitting down, Wang Wenxuan asked: "Commander Wang, is it true that the military report that said that Commander Wang beheaded Lieutenant General Shiro Makino, commander of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army, and Major General Sadanao Ishimoto, commander of the Taiwan Mixed Brigade, and annihilated more than 30,000 Japanese troops?"
Wang Haitao said with a smile: "Naturally, it's true, I, Wang Haitao, will never boast about my military exploits." Wang Haitao's words made Wang Wenxuan and others suspicious, and then Li Li took it and said: "Director Wang, we can all prove that we personally went to the battlefield yesterday to visit, and there are a large number of photos as evidence, and when we return to Chongqing, we will immediately publish the news and photos in the Central Daily." ”
Li Li's words dispelled the suspicions of Wang Wenxuan and others, and turned into surprise again. You must know that in the face of the Japanese army, it would be considered a great victory if he could annihilate one, two thousand, or even several hundred of the enemy, but this Wang Haitao could destroy tens of thousands of enemies at every turn, and he also killed a lieutenant general and a major general of the little Japan.
Surprise to surprise, words of compliment kept coming out of their mouths. Wang Haitao also behaved very modestly in front of Wang Wenxuan and others, and also gave Wang Wenxuan and others a high hat. The atmosphere at the banquet was naturally good. When Wang Wenxuan asked Wang Haitao when the award could be carried out, Wang Haitao told Wang Wenxuan that in a few days, the army would return to Longzhou, and the award ceremony could be held at that time.
After the banquet, Wang Haitao asked his subordinates to go to rest, told Su Zuxin and Tang Renli to have a meeting in the office of the military headquarters early tomorrow morning, and then drove back home by the guards. The house was lit up with lights, and the servants were all smiling with excitement on their faces. Who in Longzhou City now doesn't look down on the Tang family for three points, and even the servants have straight waists on the street.
After entering the house and coming to the hall, Tang Lao and Feng Gu were waiting for Wang Haitao in the hall. Xiao Zhansheng threw himself into Wang Haitao's arms and shouted, "Dad, hug." Wang Haitao saluted Donald first, and then reported Xiao Zhansheng in his arms. The more Tang Lao looks at Wang Haitao now, the more satisfied he becomes, and the joy on his face does not need to be hidden. Donald first asked Wang Haitao to sit down, and then asked about the battle.
When Wang Haitao finished telling the story of the battle, it was already dinner time, and the servants had already prepared a table of wine and food, and Tang Lao said happily: "Virtuous son-in-law, we have to drink two cups today!" Wang Haitao hurriedly responded. At the wine table, Wang Haitao and Donald both drank a lot of wine, and Donald was already drunk. Seeing that Donald was already overwhelmed by alcohol, Aunt Feng hurriedly asked the maid to help Donald go back to the room to rest, and she served by Donald's side for a long time, and left only after Donald fell asleep.
Back in the bedroom, after Wang Haitao and they washed up, they teased Xiao Zhansheng for a while, and after Xiao Zhansheng was also sleepy and taken away by his nurse, the room really only belonged to Wang Haitao and their two-person world. The two are talking about love in bed, and each understands the other person's true feelings for him. After a few clouds and rains, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.
The next morning, Wang Haitao came directly from home to the headquarters office, Tang Renli and Su Zuxin had already arrived and were waiting for Wang Haitao. After the three of them sat down, Wang Haitao said: "The Japanese army's two-sided attack on Longzhou City this time was completely bankrupt because the main force of the 14th Army was annihilated. However, if little Japan dares to make a move against Longzhou City, it must be prepared to meet the wrath of our 90th Army.
Now that the 14th Army landed at Qinzhou Bay has been disabled, there is nothing to worry about, and only the 16th Army of the Japanese Army in the Vietnamese direction, which is attacking the 93rd Division, remains. This time, we will focus on attacking the Japanese 16th Army and strive to cripple this 16th Army as well. In this way, we can have a relatively calm environment in Longzhou, which is also conducive to the next move of the 90th Army. ”
Su Zuxin and Tang Renli agreed with Wang Haitao's words. Wang Haitao continued: "The 16th Army against Vietnam is different from the 14th Army, we need to know how many troops the Japanese army has in Vietnam, where they are distributed, and how many Japanese troops will come to reinforce once the 16th Army is attacked. All this information has to be obtained by the reconnaissance brigade. ”
