Chapter 478: The Resolved Commander's Decision
"This time our 67th Army has arrived, and that battle will be much easier." Outside the division, Wang Laomao complimented Lei Liang very rarely.
"It's easy to fight?" Lei Liang, who was eating with his head down, looked up at Wang Laomao and said.
"You eat first, and then chat later." Wang Laomao said quickly.
Lei Liang's food was given to Shang Zhen and the others.
Since they rushed to Songjiang County, Shang Zhen and others fought and continued to run around, and there was no time to run around.
But the Sixty-Seventh Army is the same.
The Sixty-Seventh Army first took a train to Qingpu, and then rushed to Songjiang in the rain.
Therefore, the Sixty-Seventh Army and Shang Zhen suffered the same crime.
After Shang Zhen and his friends helped Wen Changqing complete the first blockade of the Japanese army, they returned to Songyuan County and entered the private house at night. They were lucky enough to have a full meal and sleep.
However, the entire 67th Army had no time to eat. Most of the troops had been scattered, digging fortifications and building trenches in the 30-mile defense line, and even began a bloody battle with the Japanese army who were crossing the river or who had already crossed the river.
How cruel is the bloody battle with the present? Not to mention the terrain of Songjiang for the time being, how easy is it to dig trenches?
It was already low-lying, and it rained for another day, and the soil was dug out, and then there was water underneath, so many of the officers and soldiers of the Sixty-Seventh Army were soaked in the "population" they dug.
They wanted to not dig, but could it be possible? The firepower of the Vietnamese army was much stronger than that of them. If they wanted to survive, they had to soak in water!
All of this is just that the battlefield is still far from Songjiang County, and Shang Zhen and the others know nothing about it.
Now Lei Liang was still eating the rice voraciously. The rice was brought out by Shang Zhen and the others after dinner at that house.
Shang Zhen and the others also considered how easy it is to have a full meal in this situation, so they deliberately stuffed a pot of rice, and each person either put it in something or put it directly in their pockets.
Will some people say that if you don’t put food like this? The answer is that hunger is always more terrifying than putting it (dirty)!
Shang Zhen saw Lei Liang's hungry look, and after all, he divided his rice into a portion for him to eat.
After a few steps, Lei Liang grabbed it with his hands and finally filled his stomach.
"You said you were ready to fight just now, right?" Lei Liang looked at Wang Laomao and asked, and had not forgotten to stuff a white rice grain from his black hand into his mouth.
At this time, Wang Laomao naturally would not answer, and Lei Liang did not need Wang Laomao's answer, so he continued to tell him directly: "I just received a report that our division has now suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the regiment commander has already killed two of them, and the 107th Division is definitely not much better."
"What?" Lei Liang said this, not only Wang Laomao was stunned, but Shang Zhen and the others were stunned.
You should know that it is only dawn now. Nearly 5,000 people have been killed since last night. That is just one division has been killed!
But then Shang Zhen realized that it was entirely possible that such a large casualty occurred.
Lei Liang's words fully confirmed his idea: "We have heavy mortars and heavy machine guns. Compared with other armies, our 67th Army's firepower is only stronger.
Although it is cloudy now, the Japanese planes will not be able to dispatch armored vehicles or come out, but the Japanese cannons are much more powerful than ours. There are Japanese gunboats on the Huangpu River. In some areas, the Japanese army's troops are already five times that of ours!
We received the order to stay up to the top for three days. We have nowhere to retreat if we want to retreat. If we retreat now, hundreds of thousands of troops will be surrounded by the Japanese army.
Then this is not a problem that has lost the four eastern provinces and North China, but that our entire Chinese is greatly damaged, and we are afraid that we will really be slaves to the destruction of our country!
What's more, we are the Northeast Army and have been known for not resisting for a long time. Our 67th Army is also the elite unit of the Northeast Army. We have to defend this place and leave a way out for other troops.
Commander Wu said, we must fight to the death to clean up the shame of our Northeast Army not resisting the war, and let the people of the whole country know that our Northeast men are men who stand tall, not just verbal!"
Lei Liang said a lot, and he said very quickly.
As the commander of the division commander Chang En, he naturally had many opportunities to be with Chang En, so he naturally knew more information than ordinary officers knew.
Of course, Shang Zhen and the others knew that the commander of Wu that Lei Liang mentioned refers to Wu Keyong, the commander of the 67th Army.
?Shang Zhen and his group had participated in the Double Twelve Incident, so they also had a certain understanding of the situation of the upper class of the Northeast Army.
Wu Keyong, the commander of the 67th Army, was naturally the confidant of the Young Marshal, as the commander of the most elite unit of the Northeast Army.
Wu Keyong personally participated in the Xi'an Incident. After the Xi'an Incident, because the pro-Japanese faction of the National Government wanted to kill Chiang Kai-shek, he sent the Central Army to attack Shaanxi. At this time, Wu Keyong led the predecessor of the unreorganized Sixty-Seventh Army to confront the Central Army.
If so, it would be fine. After Zhang Shaoshang was sentenced to prison by someone, Wu Keyong even joined forces with the current commander of the 51st Army, Yu Xiuzhong, and other Northeast Army generals who tried to rescue their young marshal in armed forces!
At that time, they also named the rescue plan "Cowherding Plan" just because their young man was born in the year of the cow.
Not to mention whether the "cow" is released or not, but this Chief Wu is also a great man!
Someone is the chairman of the National Government, but it does not mean that they are the chairman of those local factions. The local factions do only recognize their own leaders.
But at this time, Lei Liang had not finished speaking. Most people in Northeast China have straight personalities and can't stop talking.
"Captain Wu also said that this time, whether it is the Central Army or other troops, they have put a lot of effort into fighting the Japanese devils, and there are many casualties.
Now, the Japanese invaders are too powerful. Just relying on our Northeast Army is afraid that it will be difficult to fight back to our hometown. In the end, we need the entire Chinese army to be together to defeat the Japanese invaders and restore the three northeastern provinces.
Then our Northeast Army needs to act even more. If you want to return to your hometown and don’t work hard, how can others help?
So Commander Wu said that this time, we must complete the order given by the top of the peak. We must complete the order to defend Songjiang for three days without fail. If the regiment commander dies, the brigade commander will be on the top. If the brigade commander is killed, all the commander will be on the top. If the brigade commander is killed, I will be on the top!"
Lei Liang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice naturally became higher and higher, and the voice sounded extremely sonorous and powerful.
And Shang Zhen and the others seemed to see the resolute and unscrupulous expression that a senior officer showed when he made the above speech!
Of course, the exact words of Lei Liang should not be said to be Lei Liang's words, but the words of Wu Keyong, the commander of the 67th Army, have directly aroused the passion of veterans such as Shang Zhen.
Yes, the Northeast Army wants to fight back to its hometown. If you don’t work hard, can you still expect others to help?
It’s like living at home. If you don’t work hard and always rely on others to help you, how is that possible? After all, you need to rely on your own efforts!
Wang Laomao secretly glanced at Shang Zhen, and saw that Shang Zhen had returned to his expressionless look, but the others had already had their chests flushed and their faces flushed.
When the 108th Division Commander Chang En said that they would follow him, Wang Laomao still thought that he would be safer this time.
But now it seems that people like me are really going to defend their positions and are bound to escape.
Alas, think about it, too.
Such a big army commander said he wanted to rush up, and he was just a soldier. If he really died, he would die. Anyway, he had a scar on his head and became a hero again eighteen years later!
Wang Laomao was thinking in his heart, and at this time, all of them heard guns coming from outside the county town.
Chapter completed!
