Chapter 307: A Philosophically Thoughtful General
The battle to clear the remnants of the enemy in Yangquan City continued, but it was already an occasional burst of gunfire, and even the common people were numb.
The PLA soldiers in the city dragged the net to screen every household in Yangquan City and every corner where people could be hidden, and while screening, they reassured the people.
Liberated, the devil has been beaten away, and everyone can sleep peacefully.
This is the best voice that the people have heard for so many years, especially those who have been tied to the city wall and survived for nine deaths, and they have long been unable to cry.
It's best to be alive.
The two rows of three-story European-style western-style western-style buildings in Yangquan City Hall are well preserved, and at this time they were already Xie Tian's temporary headquarters in Yangquan.
Pang Yuan, Deputy Commander He of the 10th War Zone, Wu Wenhua, Qin Fen and others accompanied Chief He and Stilwell into the city hall and met Xie Tian in an office of Nuoda.
If it weren't for the fact that the Allied delegation led by Chief He and Stilwell wanted to go to the front line in person, Xie Tian would definitely not agree to Pang Yuan coming to the front line, and Deputy Commander He, who played the role of a mascot, would not risk his life.
However, it is good that Pang Yuan is here, and he can just sit nearby to command and deploy the stability matters after the liberation of Yangquan.
Seeing Xie Tianying coming, the generals of the Allied inspection group applauded in unison.
Stilwell smiled and stretched out his hands to Xie Tian: "General Xie, you fought this battle beautifully, congratulations on your successful recovery of Yangquan." ”
Xie Tian shook Stilwell's hands with a heavy face, and said in a deep voice: "General Stilwell, in any war fought on our land, no matter what the victory or defeat, we are all losers. ”
Stilwell paused for a moment, pondered Xie Tian's words, shook Xie Tian's hand vigorously, and shook it: "Xie, you are a general with philosophical thoughts, and I am willing to make friends with you." ”
Xie Tian smiled bitterly: "I am also willing to make friends with General Stilwell and with you." I don't think you can sleep right now, so let's talk about the current war. ”
Before Xie Tian's words fell, the lights in the office were turned on, and the power supply in Yangquan City had been restored, which meant that the Yangquan Power Plant had also been controlled by the People's Liberation Army.
As a matter of fact, small Japan still invested a lot in infrastructure construction in the occupied areas, including railways, highways, power plants, mines, smelters, and so on.
Of course, their purpose is to plunder resources more and faster, but now they are all cheaper to thank God.
They themselves did not expect to be defeated so quickly, and they tried in vain to occupy China for 50 years, 100 years, or even permanently incorporate China into their territory of the Great Japanese Empire.
Therefore, they popularized Japanese language education in Wanwan and the three eastern provinces, and even forced the Chinese in the occupied areas to change their names to Japanese names, in order to fundamentally disintegrate our nation.
As the lights in the office came on, the people in the room felt a little more relaxed.
Xie Tian invited everyone to sit casually, Pang Yuan saw the huge photo of the Japanese Emperor Hirohito hanging on the wall behind the desk, and couldn't help laughing, and ordered Ye Tong beside him: "Take him off for me and burn it." ”
Chief He smiled and said: "Wenzhi, just take it off, you don't need to burn it, it's better to give him to me, I'll take him back to Chongqing, I think the chairman will be very happy to talk to him face-to-face." ”
People laughed and made up for the appearance of Chongqing Jiang in the face of this photo, which must be very interesting to think about.
This is just a small episode, people find their own seats to sit down, Hu Zhiyong doesn't know where to turn out some tea leaves for everyone to make tea, busy in the middle of the night, it's time to refresh.
The gunfire in the distance has not stopped, and looking out of the window, the night sky in the east has burned half of the sky, and it can be imagined that the battle there is still fierce, but people already know that everything is under control from Xie Tian's certainty, and there is no need to worry at all.
Starting from Yangquan, everyone's perspective is different, and they also have different perceptions of this battle, which also makes Xie Tian gain a lot.
After all, these people, including Chief He, are all characters who have fought a few rolls on the battlefield, and everyone has their own understanding of war and their own tactics that they are good at.
This conversation continued until the sound of guns and cannons in the east gradually stopped, and the fire gradually weakened, and it was obvious that the battle in the east was nearing the end.
Qin Fen received the battle report from the front, and the rest of Miyamoto's division had been basically wiped out, and he was searching for fish that had slipped through the net.
Qin Fen hurriedly sent this battle report to Xie Tian, and after Xie Tian read it, he read it out in public, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
People are still waiting here, waiting for this result.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Shiyou, deputy commander-in-chief of the 41st Group Army and commander of the 51st Army, rushed to Yangquan and sent another battle report to Xie Tian.
Last night, the remnants of the Japanese army at Niangziguan tried to break through at night, but were surrounded and annihilated by the 301st Division led by Zhao Gang, and Niangziguan has been recovered.
The Allied delegation led by Chief He and Stilwell stayed in Yangquan for two days, and then visited Niangziguan to inspect the natural danger, and returned to Taiyuan by special train from Niangziguan.
The delegation spent another three days in Taiyuan, accompanied by Xie Tian, and held several talks with Stilwell and the Allied delegation, and the two sides reached a series of consensus on the current situation.
After the send-off banquet, Xie Tian Pang Yuan and others personally went to Caizhuang Airport to see off Chief He and the Allied inspection team, and the nine foreign buddies of the Flying Tigers still carried out the escort mission of the special plane taken by Chief He and others, but after this escort, they will return to Caizhuang Airport the same way, and the Flying Tigers Flying Brigade in the Tenth Theater was established, and the flight group was under the jurisdiction of the Flying Tigers and the Tenth Theater, which was an order jointly issued by General Stilwell and Chief He to the Flying Tigers.
This is also a compromise method, Xie Tian's original intention is that as long as the nine planes of the Flying Tigers are there, the issues involved will be more complicated, and the other nine theaters will also have objections to this, which will cause some unnecessary trouble.
And with the joint order of General Stilwell and General He, the Flying Tigers were stationed in the 10th Theater Flying Group, and there was no problem, and even the old man in Chongqing was speechless.
Looking at the formation of planes that had already flown far in the air, Pang Yuan couldn't help but excitedly grabbed Xie Tian's hand and laughed: "Baoqing, I admire your fooling skills more and more now, I never expected that you could get so many benefits from the hands of General Chief He and the allied inspection team." ”
Xie Tian looked at Pang Yuan with a smile and said, "Brother Pang, do you really think I'm fooling?" ”
Pang Yuan looked at Xie Tian in surprise: "Are you really ready to fight Pingjin?" But our current troops and material reserves are not enough to support such a big battle. ”
Xie Tian smiled: "I didn't say that I would fight now, but the preliminary preparations can be arranged." Let's go, let's talk slowly when we go back. Damn, the matter of Pingjin can be postponed for a while, the devil's 22nd Army Aviation Brigade must clean them up first. ”
Pang Yuan grinned, the devil's 22nd Army Aviation Brigade is stationed in Shijiazhuang, and if you clean up the 22nd Army Aviation Brigade, it is equivalent to fighting Shijiazhuang, and this difficulty is no less than attacking Pingjin.
