Chapter 383 Sifang Town
"Power on! Power on! The latest news is that the Northeastern National Defense Force massacred thousands of troops. It has been powered on again since the victory of the Yalu River! More than 5,000 Soviet troops invading Outer Mongolia were annihilated, and countless horses and guns were captured!!"
For a time, this news spread all over the country! There was an uproar in Yuchi! And the Japanese troops on the other side of the Yalu River, who were expecting the National Defense Forces to be in a hurry under the Soviet attack, could only remain silent at this time. (--Net.)
Originally, some people doubted the authenticity of this news, but since the Soviet Union did not take any action to refute the rumors or even avoided the topic, which was almost acquiescence, they could only think that at least the Soviet Union had suffered huge losses!
For a time, global public opinion and attention were suddenly drawn from Shanghai, where the war had just ceased, to Manchuria, where the National Defense Forces were located. At this time, people observed carefully and discovered that this young commander of the National Defense Forces seemed to be shrouded in a thick halo!
The first time he appeared on the pages of a newspaper was not because of who his father was or because of any romantic affair. It was because of his almost crazy defeat of the Japanese army who tried to occupy Jinan, and even directly completed the annihilation of the Japanese army in Jinan.
A feat of the division!
Later, he even single-handedly held back the Northern Expeditionary Army that was attacking Peiping, so he was able to appear on the pages of newspapers for the first time. But people did not pay too much attention to this young general.
For the second time, he was in the news again! This time, it was because he was invited to study at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. At this time, people already had an impression of him, but it was only because he was young and was a soldier.
A confidant of Marshal Zhang Xueliang.
When people heard about him for the third time, he had returned from studying in the United States! This time his appearance finally shocked some people's minds. He single-handedly annihilated the rebel forces of Shi Yousan!
The attack on the Middle Road not only stopped the disadvantages of the retreating Northeastern Army! It also surrounded the Soviet Far East Army under the city of Harbin and destroyed the Amur River Fleet that the Soviet Army was proud of!
He won a victory on the road to the Middle East. It was the first time in the Republic of China that he used such a head-on approach to get back the interests of his country that had been plundered by the great powers! This is so encouraging that even if the Central News Agency blocked him, he still stopped.
Can't stop reporting on him in major newspapers!
However, in the past year, he disappeared from people's sight again. (--Net.) Except for some interested people, almost no one noticed that this young general was promoted to the commander of the army! He even led the army
The troops were stationed on the prairie, facing the Soviet Union's newly formed Far East Army in the distance!
The September 18th Incident made the whole country sad and angry! Countless people cursed the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army for abandoning the great country without firing a single shot! Even in the midst of grief and anger, he was still the tiger! He behaved in an unreasonable manner
Suddenly appeared in front of everyone and smashed the Japanese soldiers to pieces without mercy!
Before anyone could react, he had already recovered most of Manchuria! When everyone cheered, he had already deployed troops to Shanhaiguan! It was a gesture to completely wipe out the Kwantung Army!
The sudden changes in Shanghai diverted the attention of all countries, and Japan took this opportunity to deploy troops to North Korea! Trying to strangle this tiger in Manchuria, at the same time! The exercise announced by the Soviet Union also cast a haze on everyone's mind. The government's response to the Shanghai incident
The attitude of the government is even more chilling. The government’s mouthpiece even refused to mention the agreement signed in Manchuria!
The most optimistic estimate of the whole country at this time is that this tiger will be attacked by the Soviet Union and Japan and become a bandit like the Red Bandits.
However, this tiger always seems to like to exceed other people's expectations! He first devoured the entire Kwantung Army in Shanhaiguan and gave those "committees" in the government who thought Japan was invincible and chose to sign the agreement a hard slap in the face
!
Immediately, they set off to the Yalu River, and the Japanese 20th Division, together with the division commander's office and his subordinates, were all laid to death on the banks of the Yalu River! Forced former Japanese Army Minister Shirakawa Yoshinori to lead the 9th and 10th Divisions to retreat and build positions!
It seems that this tiger felt that this was not enough! In a few moments, he wiped out all five thousand Soviet troops on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia! And the Soviet Union has been forced to remain silent to this day. It all happened so suddenly and so
Incredible!
The whole country cheered! Large-scale reports filled major newspapers, and even the Nanjing Central News Agency had to write the news in the headline of its own newspaper, even though they were so reluctant.--Net.
Under this situation, countless students chose to go to the streets to protest against the Shanghai Treaty they signed to the Nanjing government! They believed that they were betraying the country and demanded an immediate change of government! They also demanded immediate support for the Manchurian National Defense Force and that the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Force should be removed.
Tu Qianjun please come back and be the Minister of Defense!
This kind of call appeared in Peiping, which is close to Manchuria, and in Nanjing, the capital of the country! It even appeared in Shanghai, Wuhan, and Chengdu...
At this time, Tu Qianjun, who was the eye of the storm, was on the bank of the Yalu River, looking at the looming Japanese position on the opposite side and thinking about something. At this time, Dinan, Su Zongzhe and others walked in from the command tunnel and saw Shang Di.
Nan stood at attention solemnly and said "Pa!" to Tu Qianjun!
Then he said in a deep voice: "Commander, the statistics have been calculated..."
After Tu Qianjun heard this, he turned around and nodded to the senior generals under his command. Then everyone sat down on the shell box with Tu Qianjun.
Shang Dinan took out a report and said in a deep voice to everyone.
"In this battle, our First Army suffered 16,320 casualties. Among them, 8,200 were killed, mainly in the Battle of Shanhaiguan."
"The Second Army suffered 17,500 casualties, including 9,100 killed in action. Mainly concentrated in the Battle of Shanhaiguan..."
"The Third Army suffered 8,100 casualties, including 5,100 killed in action. Mainly concentrated in the Battle of the Yalu River..."
"The Fourth Army suffered 7,000 and 400 casualties, including 6,300 killed in action. Mainly concentrated in the Battle of the Yalu River..."
"The direct cavalry division suffered 3,100 casualties, including 2,000 killed in action. Mainly concentrated in the Battle of Shanhaiguan..."
"The Air Force suffered 230 casualties, including 200 killed in action. Mainly concentrated in the Battle of Yalu River..."
"According to Cullen's statistics, the Cullen Cavalry Division suffered 2,100 casualties in this battle. More than 1,300 of them were killed, mainly in the Battle of Cullen Grassland..."
"In this battle, 5,000 rifles were damaged, 160 light and heavy machine guns were damaged, and 20 artillery pieces were damaged. More than 70 fighter jets and bombers were lost, including eight P-26s..."
Hearing this series of battle losses, Tu Qianjun's eyes couldn't help but twitch! His army of only a little over 100,000 people lost more than 30,000 people in one fell swoop! This does not exclude those who were disabled after the war, and may not be able to do anything about it in the future.
Soldiers on the battlefield again! If the losses are truly calculated, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire National Defense Force suffered more than half casualties!
This National Defense Force was the result of his painstaking training for more than a year. This loss made Tu Qianjun almost bleed! And the pilots were his heart and soul. If he hadn't gone into a head-on fight with the Japanese army, he might not have been so big.
of losses.
But the Japanese planes have taken off, so do the planes of the National Defense Forces have to continue to stay at the airport?! Even if Tu Qianjun is willing, those Northeast War Eagles are not willing!
However, compared with the results of the battle, these losses were bearable. Then Shang Dinan said in a deep voice to everyone: "Now, let's announce the results of this battle of our unit."
"In this battle, our troops annihilated more than 50,000 people from the Shanhaiguan Kwantung Army and the North Korean supporting invading army! We annihilated more than 10,000 people from the Japanese 20th Division entrenched on the Yalu River! We also killed General Shigeru Honjo, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and the Japanese 2nd Division.
Lieutenant General Tamon Jiro, the division commander, Lieutenant General Kaneji, the division commander of the 20th Division, Major General Rokuro Amano, the commander of the 15th Infantry Brigade, Major General Tatsujiro Kamura, the commander of the 39th mixed brigade of the Korean garrison,
Major General Suzuki Mitsuchi, commander of the 4th mixed brigade of the North Korean garrison..."
A series of Japanese soldiers from general to lieutenant general to major general finally made Tu Qianjun's face look better.
"It is confirmed that one hundred and thirty Japanese fighter planes were destroyed, and one hundred and ten artillery pieces were seized. One thousand two hundred light and heavy machine guns, and more than 20,000 rifles..." As he spoke, Shang Dinan said to the generals with a wry smile: "
But after sorting it out, a lot of it was damaged. What I said is just to confirm that it can still be used, or can be used again after repair..."
"Pa!" Then Shang Dinan closed the documents in his hands and said in a deep voice to these important generals of the National Defense Force: "After the formation of the National Defense Forces, we faced Japan and suffered losses in the Battle of Su. The results of the battle have been reported!
"
Hearing Shang Dinan's words, all the senior generals of the National Defense Forces couldn't help but sigh! How tragic this battle must be! Even those weapons were damaged, but thinking about their own losses, these senior generals of the National Defense Forces couldn't help but gnash their teeth! This is
Help the man who killed Qian Dao!
After listening to Shang Dinan's words, Tu Qianjun stood up solemnly and faced the important generals around him! He said solemnly to Shang Dinan: "Electrify the whole country! Manchuria has taken back my hand! The three eastern provinces! have taken back my hand.
!The invading Japanese army! I will annihilate it! This battle! The soldiers who sacrificed for the country! All the soldiers who sacrificed for our Chinese nation! Shine with the sun and the moon! Forever immortal!!"
The important generals of the National Defense Force couldn't help but stood up slowly after hearing the words of their commander! Then they gave a military salute to their commander! He said solemnly: "Yes! Our National Defense Force, I, China, sacrificed their lives for the country and fought for the nation.
Our soldiers! Shine with the sun and moon! Immortal!!"
Following Tu Qianjun's words, this telegram flew to the land of China! It flew to the north and south of the Yangtze River! It even crossed the ocean, flew to the United States, and reached Europe! It spread throughout the world!
After this telegram, the cover of Time magazine in the United States showed a male with an Asian face.
This face has resolute lines and twinkling eyes! But the most eye-catching thing is his slanting upward eyebrows! Those straight eyebrows are like sharp swords, seeming to pierce the sky!
Under the cover, there is a label in English: Tiger of the Far East, General from Manchuria.
Chapter completed!
