"Be kind to your comrades and loyal to the country. You are a good company commander. Bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable on the battlefield. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army at night has been greatly weakened. If the attack is during the day, the Japanese army's firepower will be more fierce.
time, the casualties will be even greater.”
There is no specific standard for measuring right and wrong, and every good thing and bad thing cannot be measured by a numerical value.
Each person has his or her own opinion.
Shakespeare's famous saying, "There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers," can not only be used in reading books, but also in everything in life, the way you view things, and the clear distinction between good and evil, right and wrong,
Attitude towards problems, etc.
Company Commander Xu raised his head and asked, "What's your name?"
"Xia Yuan."
"Xia Yuan, what a good name." Captain Xu read the word 'yuan' with great appreciation, "The Eighth Company is short of people, are you coming? That bastard Cao Jiayao will not let you go. If you leave now, he will definitely treat you badly.
You take action."
"Company Commander Xu, what are your plans next?" Xia Yuan did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
He felt that Captain Xu was a talented person. If his mind was on the battlefield, he could join their team. At present, their team was basically determined and would not leave the Songhu battlefield. Luodian and the others would come back by then.
, I don’t know how many people will survive.
Company Commander Xu looked at the brothers on his hands and said: "We have such a dead brother, and now we are leaving in such a dejected manner. I am not willing to accept it. After the brothers on my hands are settled, I will come back with the living brothers. Those who died
Brother, we can't die like this."
Captain Xu's words made Xia Yuan's eyes light up. He needed a commander from the Central Army to join their team. If Captain Xu could be brought into the meeting, then their team would be of company-level size. When the time comes, they would recruit soldiers who had been routed from the battlefield. Captain Xu
will be able to function.
However, it is a bit unrealistic to want to recruit such a commander from the Central Army into their team.
The pay of the Central Army is very good, and the rate at which they can make a fortune is absolutely as fast as anyone else. My team does not have any organization, so if I were to ask for an organization, I guess only Platoon Leader Zhao can lead it.
Nothing may be absolute, there will always be a chance.
If you don't try, you'll never have a chance.
Company Commander Xu was also hitting his Xiao Jiujiu. What he just said seemed to be heartbreaking, but in fact it was to attract these five soldiers into his company. It's not that he took a fancy to the weapons and equipment of these five soldiers. Ahem.
, in fact, it's a bit exciting. Two crooked handles, plus some machine gun bullets, are already a set of good firepower.
And whether these five people are capable, he is looking forward to the performance of these five people. However, Captain Xu did not speak directly. His previous words were just foreshadowing. Next, he will temporarily take them with him to express his sincerity. The second thing is to see
Let's see how effective these five people are in fighting, and whether it's worth it for him to sacrifice his status to win over them.
Xia Yuan and Captain Xu each had their own agendas, and neither of them expressed their thoughts directly.
In fact, if Captain Xu opens his mouth, Xia Yuan will agree that his value will not be buried anywhere. On the battlefield, he can still take the initiative, so whether he is leading his own team or joining Captain Xu's team
Yes.
The other party didn't speak, and Xia Yuan didn't mention it. There would always be a chance.
The situation of the Eighth Company was worse than Xia Yuan imagined. The grassroots cadres in the company were basically sacrificed. Only one platoon leader and two squad leaders were left, and they were all injured. Company Commander Xu did not lie to them. When he was fighting the Japanese devils
, none of them are cowards.
The situation of Captain Xu can be seen at a glance. He has fought on the battlefield and is completely different from the Captain Cao he has seen. Even though Captain Cao has a dusty feeling, he does not have the aura of the battlefield. His company is relatively intact, and there is a high probability that it will
It's paddling on the battlefield.
The Battle of Songhu was very brutal. There were many Chinese soldiers who were brave and tenacious and not afraid of sacrifice. However, among the 700,000 soldiers, there were always some who were greedy for life and afraid of death. They did not think about contributing on the battlefield, but thought about how to survive.
"Even volunteers with firm beliefs cannot avoid it."
Many people may not know that in the early days of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, many commanders and combatants maintained a very optimistic spirit. The process of the Liberation War was quite smooth. They were blinded by the extremely smooth victory, so that many commanders and combatants at that time had no idea about the situation in North Korea.
There is no concept at all, and all cognition is still in the domestic war.
Under such circumstances, in the early days of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, the army was filled with a spirit of blind optimism. So much so that when they arrived at the Korean battlefield and saw the real situation on the Korean battlefield, many people chose to retreat. Xia Yuan entered Korea twice.
Combat experience.
The first time was with the Seventh Interleaving Company. At that time, the Ninth Corps did a very good job of keeping secrets. In addition, the troops entered North Korea separately, and the Seventh Intersecting Company was bombed by US aircraft after crossing the Yalu River.
Ma Ma went to complete the task of transporting the radio station, and got derailed with the Ninth Corps.
Returning to the real world, he began to have an in-depth understanding of the Ninth Corps. He learned that after the Ninth Corps entered North Korea to fight, many blindly optimistic soldiers saw the harsh weather conditions in North Korea. After learning about the terrifying and powerful US military, many people became cadres.
deserter.
But confidentiality agreements were made at that time, and these things were not spread among the military. This was also to stabilize the morale of the military.
Not only the Ninth Corps, but also all the corps and armies will choose to be deserters when they enter Korea to fight. Among millions of volunteers, there will always be some who are not determined.
What's more, in the current national army, the senior ranks of the national army have generals called "flying generals", let alone the ordinary soldiers at the bottom.
"The Eighth Company suffered too many casualties. Captain Xu is really a character."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After driving for a while, the wounded in the Eighth Company needed to stop and rest. Xia Yuan and the others sat not far away and looked at it. Platoon Leader Zhao looked at the people in the distance.
Captain Xu admires him very much.
"Yes, the two company commanders we met, look at their bearish looks, they want to kill us." Niu Hai folded his arms and complained very much in his heart.
"Central Army, hey, that's my son. He's rich, has people, and has a gun, but he's not a good guy. Along the way, we've never met many people who speak to us and help us like Company Commander Xu.
"Zheng Dayong agreed very much with what Niu Hai said. He had no sympathy for the Central Army and had no ability. He wanted them, a group of new recruits, to go to the battlefield and take bullets.
Pooh.
"The Central Army is the elite. The elite must be left behind to fight. Only in this way can they have the greatest impact. What do you know?"
The scholar threw the bullet clip behind him and somewhat disagreed with what Zheng Dayong said: "Not all Central Army troops are cowards. We are just unlucky and met a few company commanders who were not good people. Company Commander Xu is a good person.
We can't beat people to death with one stick."
"Who are the elites? They are just cowards." Zheng Dayong resented a lot. "Otherwise, why didn't they come up and let us go up to the recruit camp, asking for guns but not guns, asking for cannons but not cannons, and they still have to wait for us to go to the battlefield?
We robbed it from the little Japs. If it had been Brother Mu Yuan, we would have been beaten to death by the little Japs."
"Okay, you show off your talent, right? The scholar is right. We can't beat him to death with a stick. There are good ones and there are bad ones. Captain Xu really wants to fight the little Japanese devil."
, that Captain Cao is just a soldier. When he goes to the battlefield, he thinks about how to survive and survive until the retreat."
Platoon leader Zhao still had the ability to distinguish right from wrong: "Look, this is not like retreating from the battlefield alive, with clothes not dirty. People who don't know better thought they were going to play."
Xia Yuan laughed, held the gun in his hand, and said: "Okay, okay, please stop making noise. There are some people in the Central Army who really want to save the country, but there is no way. The incompetent is not the ordinary soldiers, but the higher-ups."
Incompetent, if the superiors were really powerful, they wouldn’t have been beaten so badly by the little Japanese devils.”
Xia Yuan put his hands on his knees, bent down, and said, "Do you know how many of us and how many of the Japanese there are in this fight with the little Japanese?"
"How many?"
The four people stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and said in a daze.
"There are more than 700,000 national troops and more than 300,000 Japanese soldiers."
Zheng Dayong: "I'll be nice, there are too many people here."
Niu Hai disdainfully said: "There is no use having too many people. There are not many people in the new barracks. There are only a few hundred people, but they have guns, grenades, and machine guns. When they get to the battlefield, they are chased and beaten by dozens of little Japanese devils."
"No, no, no, the new barracks are new barracks. None of us have ever been on the battlefield. Of these more than 700,000, the Central Army must have a lot of them. Even if there are many cowards in the Central Army, when it comes to the battlefield, life and death are at stake. They
Even if you don’t want to resist, you have to resist, and the Central Army is an elite force, much more powerful than our new military camp, so you can’t look at all the national army troops from the perspective of a new military camp.”
The scholar rebutted Niu Hai and asked, "Brother Xia, can we win?"
"Yes, winning is the key." Platoon Leader Zhao remained silent. Hearing the scholar's last words, he immediately intervened.
"I think we can win." After hearing what the scholar said, Zheng Dayong gained some confidence in the victory of the national army in this war. "I heard that it is not a full-scale war of resistance. We will definitely win this battle."
Xia Yuan listened to everyone's conversation. They thought things were too simple. The victory of a war cannot only be judged by the number of people. There is a saying that war is the continuation of politics. The battle of Songhu was not what Chiang Kai-shek thought at all in the first place.
However, in order to drive away the Japanese from this battle, he wanted to rely on international power to mediate the war of aggression against China. The so-called comprehensive resistance war was completely forced to carry out a comprehensive resistance war.
"Brother Xia, do you think we can defeat the little Japanese devil in this war?"
Several people argued endlessly, but the scholar was smart and asked Xia Yuan directly.
"Can win."
Xia Yuan said firmly.
"Look, we will definitely win this war."
Small people also have big feelings.
What Xia Yuan said about being able to win, naturally did not refer to the Battle of Songhu. Baldhead launched several battles, but they all ended in failure, consuming national power, soldiers, and financial resources without solving the root cause of the problem.
He never trusts bald heads and even wants to ridicule bald heads.
American General Stilwell commented on the Battle of Songhu under the command of the "Iron Fist Plan" initiated by Bald Man, saying that the Chinese army was "first-rate soldiers, second-rate officers, third-rate generals and inferior commanders." Xia Yuan had nothing to do with the United States.
There are so many opinions, but I quite agree with General Stilwell’s assessment, which is really to the point.
And what he said about being able to win was the war of resistance that lasted for fourteen years from the September 18th Incident in 1931 until the Japanese surrender in 1945.
Victory belongs to them in the end.
The battle in Luodian was quite fierce. The attack lasted all night and failed to break through the Japanese defense line. On the second day, the 67th Division invested four regiments in Luodian. In less than a week, they all suffered heavy casualties.
Unable to continue fighting, the entire 67th Division retreated south to Jiading to rest and recuperate on the front line, temporarily withdrawing from the front line battle.
The 6th Division and 18th Brigade that had just arrived took over the defense line of the 67th Division and entered the south of Luodian.
Since most of the Eighth Company were wounded, the march was too slow and fell behind the team. More than thirty people crowded into a room, listening to the rumbling artillery fire around them, tearing the foggy air and shattering the earth.
, the torn flesh and blood body, the sky kept buzzing, and the sound of gunfire formed a tragic accompaniment, echoing in Luodian.
It is like a meat grinder that grinds minced meat, constantly adding new flesh and blood, and constantly being minced.
In Luodian, the strength of the Chinese army fighting the Japanese army changed. The 67th Division withdrew from the battle and was replaced by the 18th Brigade of the 67th Division, the 33rd Brigade and the 31st Brigade of the 11th Division.
Responsible for the southern part of Luodian, forming a tight line of defense to withstand waves of Japanese attacks.
The 584th Regiment and the 587th Regiment of the 98th Division of the National Army marched north from Xinzhen and were responsible for the southeast of Luodian.
It was not easy for the Japanese army to occupy Luodian, and the Chinese troops were still resisting tenaciously.
Platoon Leader Zhao stood at the window, listening to the rumbling noise outside, feeling uneasy: "Grandma, we were really lucky last night. Look at this early in the morning, the gunfire basically didn't stop, and it was flying all over the sky.
They are some big iron birds."
The artillery fire gave the blue sky a layer of gray, and the smoke filled the air, and the smell was not pleasant.
Niu Hai and Zheng Dayong also lay aside and looked at the gray sky outside. They vaguely saw the 'big iron bird' that could make a loud sound in the sky. This was the first time they had seen a big iron bird that could fly in the sky.
, it was very novel, but when that thing dropped cannonballs that crushed the earth one after another, they no longer felt that the thing was so novel, it was simply a very terrifying harvesting machine.
"This big iron bird can actually drop cannonballs. It's really scary."
"Is this something that the Japanese devils have? Don't we have it? What is this thing that can actually fly in the sky?"
The scholar explained to them: "Bombers are the product of technological development."
