Chapter 39: Picking Up the Broken Soldiers (Part 2)
One battalion commander was dissatisfied and said: "Regiment, the performance of our battalions is not very good. We cannot compare with the guard company and the 1st Battalion. But we should have a share of the credit for today's victory, right?"
"What a waste of credit!" Yue Weihan said coldly, "I feel ashamed for you. There are more than 2,000 people in your three battalions, and the Japanese can suppress you with less than 500 people. They can also divide their troops to outflank your retreat.
If Dalong's 1st Battalion hadn't pressed forward in time, your three battalions would have been wiped out by less than 500 Japs! How dare you claim credit?"
The three former battalion commanders of the 668th Regiment immediately lowered their heads and looked ashamed.
"And you guys." Yue Weihan turned back and glared at Chi Chengfeng and Niu Dagen fiercely. "Dig a hole on the top of the mountain and build a few layers of sandbags to form a heavy machine gun position? Don't you know how to build bunkers? If you build bunkers, it will be heavy."
How can the machine gun position be so easily wiped out by a Japs grenade? It’s a shame, it’s a shame!”
Chi Chengfeng protested: "Grandma, it's too late to dig trenches. How can you have time to build bunkers?"
Niu Dagen even said aggrievedly: "Regiment leader, I'm not in the 3rd Battalion, I'm in the artillery battery position."
"Well, I've forgotten about this. Okay, Dagen, just stay aside." Yue Weihan kicked Niu Dagen to the side, and then scolded the remaining four battalion commanders, "You four
Listen to me, today’s victory has nothing to do with you being rewarded for half a dime. There is no reward, but there is also punishment! Do you accept it?"
"Grandma, I'm convinced." Chi Chengfeng said angrily, "Our 2nd Battalion did not do well in today's battle."
"This fucking guy looks like a man." Yue Weihan said and then asked the other three battalion commanders, "What about you, do you accept it?"
"Submit." The other three battalion commanders said in unison, "Just do whatever the regiment says. We won't have a second thought."
"Okay!" Yue Weihan said coldly, "From now on, the four battalion commanders of you have been demoted to the rank of battalion deputy and temporarily acting as battalion commander. The other 2nd battalion, 3rd battalion and the guard company suffered heavy casualties this time.
Big, take an infantry company from each of the 4th, 5th and 6th battalions to supplement the 2nd, 3rd and guard companies respectively, do you have any objections?"
"No comment."
The three former battalion commanders of the 668th Regiment were happy, and they were too. The whole regiment was integrated, so why should a company fight?
Yue Weihan nodded coldly and said: "Very good, just follow the punishment method just mentioned. After cleaning the battlefield, each battalion will be reorganized immediately. Remember, I only give you half an hour. You will be in Jingjiang in half an hour."
Gather outside the west gate of the county town. Anyone who fails to meet the deadline shall be shot!"
After Yue Weihan finished speaking, Chi Chengfeng couldn't help but said: "Tuanzu, how are we going to divide the spoils?"
Yue Weihan said without hesitation: "The Type 92 heavy machine gun belongs to the 1st Battalion, the crooked light machine gun belongs to the guard company, and the remaining grenades and 38 caps will be divided equally among each battalion."

Shanghai Japanese Concession, Central China Front Army Headquarters.
Major General Tsukada, the chief of staff of the direction army, walked into the office of General Matsui Iwane with a serious expression. He immediately put his feet back and stood at attention and said: "Your Excellency, General, Hiroshi Nakagawa has just sent an urgent message. The 1st and 3rd Infantry Battalions of the 36th Infantry Regiment are
It has been collectively shattered in Jingjiang."
General Matsui Iwane frowned when he heard this and said, "The 1st and 3rd Infantry Brigades were collectively shattered?"
"Yes." Major General Tsukada once again put his feet back and stood at attention, saying, "Moreover, the 1st and 3rd Infantry Brigades of the 36th Infantry Regiment were collectively shattered in the field battles that the Imperial Army was best at."
"What are you talking about, field battle!?" General Matsui Iwane stood up suddenly and said in disbelief, "With the more than 100 remnants of the Baoshan Battalion and more than a thousand Chinese prisoners of war, how dare you fight with the 36th Infantry Regiment in the field? And actually caused the 36th Infantry Regiment to fight in the field?
The 1st and 3rd Infantry Battalions of the regiment were collectively destroyed? Tsukada-kun, did I hear you correctly?"
Major General Tsukada was silent, thinking that unless Hiroshi Nakagawa was crazy, he would never dare to lie about the military situation.
As for what happened over there, we don't know yet, and Hiroshi Nakagawa probably doesn't know much either, but the intelligence personnel of the Special Higher Education Course should figure it out soon.
"Bagagaru." Matsui Iwane finally became furious, "What's Hiro Nakagawa's explanation for this?"
Major General Tsukada said: "Your Excellency, General Nakagawa Hiro and Takahashi Ryutaro have committed seppuku. Watanabe Shigeichi and Sato Shintaro have also been dismissed on the spot and are waiting for your disposal."
After hearing that Nakagawa Hiroshi and Takahashi Ryutaro had committed seppuku, General Matsui Iwane's expression softened slightly, and he immediately said to Major General Tsukada: "Tsukada-kun, please report the death of Nakagawa Hiroshi and Takahashi Ryutaro to the base camp immediately.
This is an explanation for the assassination of His Highness Jiuyan. After all, it is a critical moment to capture Nanjing, and the front army should not be distracted."
"Hai." Tsukada Gong suddenly lowered his head and stood at attention, and then asked, "Your Excellency, General, Baoshan Camp... are you still pursuing me?"
"There is no need to chase anymore." Matsui Iwane shook his hand and said with a sigh, "We still don't know what happened on the Jingjiang side, but since the Baoshan Battalion can kill the 1st of the 36th Regiment in one fell swoop in the field,
, the 3rd Infantry Brigade, which shows that they have received strong reinforcements, and it is useless to send a small force to pursue them at this time."
Major General Tsukada nodded in agreement: "What the General said is absolutely true. After all, the area north of the Yangtze River is still the sphere of influence of the China Army. It is indeed too risky to rashly send a small force to pursue it in depth before clearly exploring the defense situation in the north of the Yangtze River."
"Let Watanabe and Sato come back." General Matsui Iwane said coldly, "Let them remember this defeat, carefully review it, boldly innovate tactics, and hope to succeed in revenge in the future!"
"Hai." Tsukada suddenly lowered his head, turned around and walked away quickly.

Wuhan, travel camp.
While General Matsui Iwane, the commander of the Japanese Army's Central China Front, was furious, the national leader, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, summoned his direct subordinate, General Zhang Zhizhong, the director of the Central Military Academy and the commander of the 9th Group Army, in his official residence.
However, in front of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, General Zhang seemed a little reserved and not very relaxed.
"Wen Bai, don't be formal, come on, come on, sit down." Chairman Chiang waved to General Zhang casually.
"Thank you for your seat." General Zhang then sat on the sofa, but his body was still upright.
"Wen Bai, I have to thank you." Chairman Chiang said with a smile, "After the reorganization of the Central Military Academy, I have no longer specifically asked about the affairs of the military academy. You have always been in charge of it, and you did not give orders.
I am disappointed. You have trained a large number of outstanding mid-level and senior officers for the party and the country."
General Zhang said hurriedly: "These are all matters within a humble position, so why bother?"
Chairman Jiang smiled and waved his hand, then picked up a message on the table and said to General Zhang: "This is the urgent message just sent by Nanjing Garrison Commander Tang Shenzhi. Your student Yue Weihan has made great achievements again!"
Before General Zhang could finish reading the message, Chairman Chiang thought to himself: "First, three people crossed the river, and they managed to turn the tide and hold back more than 2,000 defeated troops of the 668th Regiment. They killed an infantry brigade of Chongteng Detachment in one counterattack, and then followed up with
Thunderous tactics were used to recruit the 668th Regiment, and in one fell swoop annihilated the two infantry brigades of the 36th Regiment of the Japanese 9th Division that were pursuing across the river!"
"Wen Bai, this is the elite of the Japanese permanent division. It is not a garrison brigade. Moreover, it is not a defeat, but a total annihilation. This is extremely difficult."
General Zhang gently put down the message and said solemnly: "Commissioner, I am really impressed by this humble post of Yue Weihan. This student is a fellow countryman of the committee. He studied so hard during school that it is almost outrageous. For example,
, in order to better understand the Japanese army in the future war against Japan, he actually used half a year of spare time to complete a Japanese course by himself, and learned to speak fluent Japanese, which is unbelievable."
"Oh?" Chairman Chiang suddenly realized, "No wonder he can lead his troops into and out of the Japanese military garrison as if they were in an uninhabited land."
General Zhang nodded and said: "Among all the students in the tenth phase of the infantry department, Yue Weihan's various assessment indicators are among the best. In terms of overall quality, he is the undisputed number one, especially in marksmanship, which is within five hundred meters."
He is always hitting the target, so it is not surprising at all for Yue Weihan's achievements today."
"Haha, isn't this your teaching?" Chairman Chiang said happily.
General Zhang changed his tone and said solemnly: "However, this student also has shortcomings."
"Oh? Shortcomings, what shortcomings?" Chairman Chiang said indifferently, "You might as well talk about it and listen to it."
General Zhang said: "This student Yue Weihan has impeccable abilities in all aspects, but there are two things that are bad about him. One is he is lustful, and the other is he is unruly. It is said that before he went to the military academy, he even did such ridiculous things as kidnapping a bride.
However, after I entered the military academy, my lustful tendencies have been cured a lot, but my unruly behavior has become even worse."
"Well, this is understandable. You are young and frivolous. It's understandable."
As Chairman Jiang was talking, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
