Chapter 116: The Army Commendation (4,600-character chapter)
Since we had discussed with our wife, Chairman Jiang was not pretentious after having an idea in his mind. He immediately asked the attendant to start to report to all radio stations within the scope to inform Luodian of another great victory and the army rewarded Wang Mingyu's troops. Since Gu Zhutong had called to confirm Wang Mingyu's great victory before, he had to do a good job of publicity from any angle. Although Chairman Jiang thought that his publicity work could not even be kept up with one-tenth of the other side, he had to do it.
A telegram went out of Chairman Jiang's servant's room. Almost all the entire army had radio stations, including the enemy or the news media, could receive such telegrams. The roughly means that the 318th Regiment of the 67th Division of our army defeated the Japanese invaders in the Luodian Battle. Chairman Jiang exaggeratedly said that Wang Mingyu killed nearly 10,000 Japanese troops, and countless Japanese troops were seriously injured.
In addition, the commander of Yamari Ichiro's rank of major general who killed the Japanese 3rd Division. Of course, the previous words were all praised. The real thing is the content of the commendation. First, the 318th Regiment was officially upgraded to a brigade-level unit. The brigade commander was Wang Mingyu, and all the officer arrangements of the entire brigade were arranged by Wang Mingyu. Wang Mingyu's official voice was first level, with the rank of colonel. He ordered some weapons and supplies and some money. Finally, he ordered the entire army to learn from the 318th Brigade, resist the enemy tenaciously, and win the victory of the Battle of Shanghai. For a moment, the entire war zone began to boil.
The first feeling of many people who received this telegram was shocked, that is, the Luodian victory completely wiped out the Qingchi corps in less than three days, and the 318th Regiment created new glory. Even many people who were jealous of him had to admit that this guy could indeed fight the Japanese devils. Many of them, the strength of the Japanese army, had long been experienced. In the past struggles, no army could wipe out the reorganized corps of the Japanese. In fact, according to the historical development, even in the years of fighting with the Japanese army, no army could destroy the Japanese corps. Wang Mingyu's arrival not only filled this gap, but also continued a more brilliant record.
Of course, there are also some people who are not convinced by Wang Mingyu. Their excuses are nothing more than being too short of experience and having rich experience. Being able to lead a group well may not be able to lead a brigade.
But these voices can only be said by themselves and dare not go out to say them. As long as you mention this matter to ordinary Chinese people, people will say, "If you have the ability, you can destroy so many Japanese soldiers. If you have the ability, don't say that you have the qualifications, we will support you even if you don't have the qualifications."
Besides, Wang Mingyu graduated from the Central Military Academy and was important as a commissioner as soon as he graduated. Why don’t others treat this? What do you say depends on your relationship? You rely on your relationship to eliminate so many Japanese soldiers, and I will accept you.
Of course, as the person involved, Wang Mingyu doesn't have time to receive so many congratulatory telegrams, and some media have even reported to ask for in-depth interviews in the battlefield. Wang Mingyu thought about it and found it funny. This Luodian was not opened by his own family. Now the Japanese army is approaching the enemy. The government did not explain this situation, just to make these deeds better play and inspire the whole nation's enthusiasm for war of resistance. This is exactly what Chairman Jiang hopes to see.
The Japanese army claimed that the number of people in Luodian was nearly 30,000, because although the Japanese army did not want to admit that the Qingchi gang was completely wiped out and Qingchi Youyi was captured alive, media people have always asked that if Qingchi Youyi was not captured alive, he would come and confront him in person. The Japanese army has been vague, but they have communicated with Chairman Chiang in private and planned to use money to redeem people. However, Chairman Chiang is still considering it because Chairman Chiang feels that the money is not enough to be comparable to the influence of Qingchi Youyi.
Now Wang Mingyu has killed another Japanese major general, which is also the news that Chairman Jiang and Matsui Ishigen received almost at the same time. Chairman Jiang was both happy and entangled, while Matsui Ishigen was left with only a look of astonishment and anger. Matsui Ishigen was angry that he had set a precedent for the Japanese army twice in the past few days. The first time was that a fully established company was destroyed, and the second time was a major general killed a few days later. This was the highest-level army commander that the Japanese army lost on the Chinese battlefield.
Wang Mingyu also knew that no matter whether he came or not, it would be impossible to change the situation on the entire battlefield. Luodian would definitely fall into the hands of the Japanese army in the end, but before it fell into the hands of the Japanese army, Wang Mingyu hoped that he could use his actions to tell all the soldiers that the Japanese, like the Chinese, had two shoulders and one mouth, and there was nothing to be afraid of. In fact, Wang Mingyu had a deep understanding of the strength of the Japanese army. Although the Japanese army's tactics were a bit rigid and almost patterned, the overall quality of the Japanese army was undoubtedly several times better than that of the Chinese army. The Central Division and the Japanese army were not on the same level. As for the 318th Regiment, Wang Mingyu was still confident. The overall quality of the 318th Regiment was no weaker than that of the Japanese army after these or two years of training. I believe that after the baptism of the war, the 318th Regiment would continue to rise.
Speaking of Wang Mingyu's usual training, a conclusion drawn from comparing the soldiers below with other teams is that the training of the 318th Regiment can only be described as luxury. In order to improve the accuracy of shooting, their bullets are fully supplied. Wang Mingyu's original words, these things can be bought with money, but my brothers' lives cannot be bought back. This is why Wang Mingyu has only one core and is irreplaceable.
When Wang Mingyu received this telegram, he was surprised for a while. Originally, Wang Mingyu thought that Chairman Jiang would definitely get some money to encourage him and it would be done. He did not expect that such a large-scale commendation of the whole army would be at the highest standard in this specific period. Even Minister He from the Ministry of Military Affairs also sent a congratulatory message as soon as possible, which made the whole regiment feel happy.
When Wang Mingyu convened a meeting of cadres above the company to hold a meeting, he immediately announced the news.
Wang Mingyu said with a smile: Everyone will read the message from the commissioner to our group.
Zhang Deen smiled and said: I won’t give us some money to fight us again. At least I have to give our team commander-in-chief.
Wu Peilin nodded and said seriously: Yes, Lao Zhang, after hearing what you said, I think, if the regiment commander-in-chief becomes the commander-in-chief, maybe Japan will surrender directly.
Luo Jiapeng received the telegram recently and saw it. He smiled heartily: This time we can't call the group seat anymore. We're going to call the travel seat. Haha, everyone comes to take a look.
Wang Mingyu asked Zhao Guorui to bring the telegram. Since there were many people coming this time, Wang Mingyu said to everyone: Let me announce it first. Since our regiment excellently blocked the Japanese army's pace of entering Luodian, the Chairman's telegram had already made it clear that the 318th Regiment was upgraded to the 318th Brigade, with me as the brigade commander and a colonel of the level. Other personnel arrangements were registered by me and then handed over to the Ministry of National Defense. Now our 318th Brigade has independently formed a brigade and separated from the combat sequence of the 67th Division.
Wu Peilin screamed strangely: Wow, that doesn't mean I've been promoted too, hahaha
Wang Mingyu was next to him and kicked him angrily and said: Stop calmly, even if you are promoted, you can be so excited.
Wu Peilin pretended to scream and said: I'm happy that everything has been promoted, haha
Wang Mingyu smiled undeniably and said: The commissioner gave us a good organization this time, with four regiments under his command and a guard battalion. The most important thing is to drop a few anti-aircraft guns for us.
Zhang Deen said: What is the purpose of transferring anti-aircraft guns to us? Didn’t we agree to retreat?
Wang Mingyu smiled and said: The plan is not as fast as the change. This time the commission gave us such great benefits, so we naturally have to work hard. Tomorrow night, the 88th Division of the Central Army will come to defend Luodian with us. The purpose of anti-aircraft artillery is self-evident, to reduce the threat of Japanese aircraft. If one or two aircraft are killed, the Japanese army will not dare to fly around so unscrupulously.
Wu Peilin suddenly asked: Commissioner, why didn't that guy Zhao Guorui come to the meeting
Wang Mingyu laughed and scolded: Have you only appeared now? Wu Peilin smiled and said no, no, Wang Mingyu said loudly to the company commanders and battalion commanders: Brothers, the latest news has been received, all the main forces of the Japanese Third Division have been set off and are heading towards Luodian. Our mission is to prevent Luodian from falling into the hands of the Japanese. The Japanese Third Division is very powerful in combat, of course we are not worse than them. Judging from the situation of these two battles, we have an absolute advantage. We have eliminated nearly 10,000 Japanese troops and our losses are more than 1,000. With such casualties, I believe that no army in China can achieve such success.
Although we are participating in battle for the first time, the benefits of high-intensity training in daily life are obvious. Sweating more and bleeding less during wartime is one of the most important codes of survival. Whether you will follow me, Wang Mingyu, or lead an independent army in the future, I hope you can keep these words in mind. I don’t know the combat effectiveness of the troops led by Huang Boxiong and Sun Dabao, but judging from the situation of the troops led by Wu Peilin and Wang Mingchuan, it is even better than the troops of our 318th Regiment. Their training time is one year later than us, and I am quite satisfied with the ability to achieve such results.
Zhang Deen frowned and said: If the entire Japanese division is dispatched, wouldn’t it take more than 20,000 people?
Wang Mingyu nodded, and with the 4,000 people on Wu Peilin's side, it was exactly 20,000.
Zhang Deen looked at Wang Mingyu, with a trace of expectation in his eyes, but Wu Peilin spoke first: The Japanese army cannot pass the brigade of the regiment by the broken bridge for the time being, but our soldiers have no rest time, so it is difficult for me to guarantee continuous combat effectiveness, so I hope
Wang Mingyu immediately interrupted and said to everyone: Brothers, reinforcements will be until tomorrow night at the earliest. Generally, the Japanese army will not attack at night. After you go back, you will immediately call the brothers in the army to sleep. Remember, each person has only two hours of rest time. Two groups of people will be able to rest, which means that half of them can build fortifications. After four hours, they must enter the combat position and be ready to fight at any time.
Wu Peilin and others nodded, and Wang Mingyu said again: Now I will announce the personnel appointment. Four regiments under my Independent 318th Brigade are under the jurisdiction of four regiments, the First Regiment Commander Zhang Deen, the rank of lieutenant colonel. The Second Regiment Commander Zhao Guorui, the Chief of Staff Luo Jiapeng, and the Military Academy are all lieutenant colonels. The Third Regiment Commander Wu Peilin, the Chief of Staff Wang Mingchuan, the rank of lieutenant colonel. The Fourth Regiment Commander Sun Dabao, the Chief of Staff Huang Boxiong, the Chief of Staff Lieutenant Colonel Lin Wen, the Battalion Commander of the Guard Battalion, and the rank of lieutenant colonel. The other intelligence department, logistics and communications company, artillery battalion field hospitals are directly affiliated to the brigade and are all under the organization. All the main responsible persons are in the rank of majors. Well, when the war is over, we will also find a chief of staff for our brigade. The position of this chief of staff cannot always be empty. If it really doesn't work, we will hire a lot of talents.
Zhang Deen finally became the leader as he wished, and was very happy and said: Traveler, Huang Boxiong, Sun Dabao and others will notify them to return to the team now.
Wang Mingyu shook his head, Sun Dabao must not touch this, I have other plans, don’t contact them for the time being, and we will contact them when we have almost finished fighting. Don’t worry, some fights are going to be fought.
Wu Peilin said: We have lost so many brothers this time, are we going to be interested in people from above?
Wang Mingyu shook his head and said: The above has allocated a lot of supplies and money to us. At this time, everyone is asking for soldiers. After our entire army commendation, we are already at the forefront, so we cannot be more and more aggressive and let others seize the handle and say we don’t know how to advance or retreat.
Luo Jiapeng also nodded to Wu Peilin and said: We lost so much in one or two battles. This time we have so many enemies, so our losses will only be even heavier. The Japanese are constantly coming, and we are fighting less and less.
Wang Mingyu sighed and said: We are recruiting soldiers now, and training is very difficult. Let's do this, let Huang Boxiong recruit soldiers in Jiangsu and provide us with soldiers anytime and anywhere. He will command the daily training. I think four regiments of our brigade are not enough, so we should add a reserve regiment, haha
The others nodded and said: This method is good, it depends on how many people Huang Boxiong can recruit.
Wang Mingyu said affirmatively: Now that the Japanese invasion of China, the entire country is in excitement. If the treatment is better, it will definitely not be a problem. For this kind of correspondent, you will record it.
Yes, this boy from the brigade changed his words and sent a message to Huang Boxiong's army. The first task from now on is to recruit soldiers. As long as the number of people is only 20,000, all of them are recruited. However, you must pay attention to the screening. The elderly, weak, sick and disabled are not allowed to be recruited into the team. After he recruited, the thousands of people he had trained before were brought over to me, and the direct team will stay there to continue training recruits. Be sure to form combat effectiveness in the shortest time. Don't be unable to hold the gun at that time. I asked him Wang Mingyu and said yes, the brigade
Wu Peilin, please contact Sun Dabao after you go back, and asked him to send a trans-ocean telegram to Wang Jie near Hangzhou, and asked him to be responsible for purchasing aircraft. Isn’t he holding a Boeing aircraft company in the United States? He is also getting some air defense machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. By the way, the most important thing is to recruit some retired American pilots, and they must pass the quality. I must see the plane within half a year. I said it was what I said. Wang Mingyu said in a low voice, Wu Peilin nodded and said: Don’t worry, the occupant, I will definitely bring the words. Then I will go back first
Wang Mingyu patted Wu Peilin on the shoulder and said: Your task is very heavy, you must stick to it until tomorrow morning. In addition, where did Zhao Guorui go, I asked him to take a unit to the periphery, and then prepare to break through. Now it seems that they can also help the 88th Division to open the way and cover the 88th Division into Luodian. As long as the 88th Division enters Luodian, our pressure will be much less. After all, the 88th Division is also one of the ace troops, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
Wu Peilin didn't say anything, just nodded, and then quickly left the room.
Chapter completed!
