"Long live the Republic of China, long live the Three Hundred Division!"
The sound of firecrackers rang out in the towns and villages of Maoming. Men, women and children who had received the news of the victory rushed onto the streets with joy, celebrating this exciting event with passers-by, whether they knew each other or had never met before.
information.
Just a few days ago, news came that the Japanese army had swept across Jiangmen, Enping, and Yangchun. The whole of Maoming was plunged into panic. People were worried whether Maoming would become the next area to be captured. Although Maoming was stationed with three
Everyone has heard of the reputation of the Hundred and Three Hundred Divisions, but the Japanese are coming with force and their numbers are overwhelming, and everyone is really unsure. Many people have already made preparations to evacuate to Guilin with their families.
Those who have no choice but to stay at home and wait for the nightmare to come.
When Su Rui led the 300 Division to fight the Japanese army dozens of miles away, the people in Maoming City could still vaguely hear the sound of gunfire coming from the Lingbei Valley. At that time, the people in Maoming City were praying for the 300 Division
Can withstand the Japanese attack.
The sound of gunfire continued for several days, until today it finally subsided. Immediately, news came that most of the 48th Division had been annihilated and the enemy chief Tuqiao Yongyi had been killed. At this time, the depressed people could no longer endure it.
Unable to hold on any longer, they all poured into the streets and held a carnival parade. When countless excited young people saw soldiers in military uniforms on the street, they would run over to lift these soldiers up and throw them high, as if it was not enough.
to vent their excitement.
This carnival reached its climax when the troops of the 300 Division entered the city. The entire street was blocked by excited crowds. Even Su Rui and the others had to quietly go back to the headquarters through the alley to avoid danger.
Drive the crazy crowd.
"call……"
After returning to the security headquarters, Su Rui sat on a chair and let out a long breath, picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp. Only then did he feel a wave of exhaustion pouring from his feet to his head.
It really exhausted him.
Suri didn't have time to say anything, so he fell down on the camp bed next to him. He slept until the evening before being woken up by his growling stomach. After waking up, Suri saw the lights lighting up in the surrounding headquarters.
, then I realized that it was already night.
"Wake up...get up and eat something!"
Liang Zhi's voice rang in his ears, and then a plate of steamed buns and a glass of boiled water were handed over and placed in front of him. Su Rui smiled, took the steamed buns and started to eat them.
After eating three steamed buns in a row, Su Rui burped. He turned around and asked, "Zi Ran, have our results and losses been calculated?"
Liang Zhi nodded: "According to the statistics, our army annihilated a total of 6,847 Japanese troops in this battle, killed the enemy division commander Lieutenant General Dohashi Yugi and 57 enemy officers above Major, and captured one enemy
One hundred and sixty-seven people, captured five enemy 75 mountain guns, 11 mortars, more than 5,600 rifles, 37 light and heavy machine guns, destroyed 31 enemy tanks, and shot down 96 enemy tanks
Thirty-two Type 96 fighter jets and thirty-six Type 96 attack aircraft."
Speaking of this, even a calm person like Liang Zhi couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy in his eyes.
Su Ruichang took a breath and then asked: "What about our losses?"
Liang Zhi's voice paused, and then he said: "We have 446 killed and 751 wounded, including 21 second lieutenants, 13 lieutenants, and 9 captains.
One major officer, twenty-eight Wildcat fighter jets and five pilots were lost."
Su Rui sighed softly. The two tasks of counting his own casualties and counting the results were like ice and fire, and his mood was constantly fluctuating between joy and sadness.
Su Rui thought for a while and said to Liang Zhi: "Zi Ran, this battle proves that our troops are still insufficient. If we hadn't relied on the geographical advantage of the Lingbei Valley and the carelessness of the 48th Division to underestimate the enemy, we would have annihilated them.
It will not be easy for them, and they are bound to pay more casualties.
Although the 48th Division was severely damaged by us, they were only two Taiwanese infantry regiments. They were just cannon fodder to the Japanese. The Japanese would not shed a single tear for them. And I guess the Japanese
The retaliation will come soon, so even if it is to protect ourselves, we must be prepared to expand our military again."
"Expanding the army?" A faint smile appeared in Liang Zhi's eyes, "Master, aren't you afraid that Chairman Chiang will blame you for expanding the army without the order of the Military and Political Department?"
"What the hell!" Su Rui swore, "If we don't expand our army, how can we resist the Japanese attack? This time the Japanese actually dispatched two aircraft carriers, nearly a hundred fighter planes and a division of troops.
Fortunately we resisted this time, but what if the Japanese dispatch two hundred or three hundred fighter planes next time? What if they dispatch two or even three divisions? What can we do to stop them?"
After working with Su Rui for more than half a year, Liang Zhi also has a general understanding of Su Rui's temper. He knows that if Chief Su commits any crime, he will be fearless. To put it mildly, it is called "dare to act", but not to put it bluntly.
If it sounds good, call it Erpolezi.
After thinking about it, Liang Zhi smiled and said, "Master, since you have decided to expand the army, what else can you say to the department? I just don't know under what name you plan to expand the army and by how much?"
Su Rui thought for a while and said loudly: "Since we have decided to expand the army, let's just go big. Let's recruit two more divisions with a total of 30,000 to 40,000 troops, and change the flying group into a division-level unit, called Kong Yi.
Division, what do you think of its three subordinate flying regiments (equivalent to a group)?"
"My dear."
Even though Liang Zhi had always been bold, he couldn't help but be shocked by this bold master.
"Division commander, according to the establishment established by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, you are only a division commander. If we expand two more infantry divisions and one air force division, wouldn't it become a corps-level unit? Are you planning to formally leave the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs?
?”
"No, no!" Su Rui shook his head: "I'm not that stupid. It's not good for us to leave Chiang Kai-shek now. I plan to expand these two divisions in the name of security divisions. Don't forget, I'm still in charge of Maoming.
As for the title of security commander, according to the rules, the development of local security forces does not require approval from the Ministry of Military Affairs. As long as some of us have guns, who can control it?"
"this……"
Liang Zhi looked at Su Rui's serious face and suddenly smiled, "Since the teacher has made this decision, how can the staff not accompany him? Let's vote for it!"
"Hahaha……"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
After talking about the military expansion, Su Rui seemed to have remembered something again and said to Liang Zhi: "By the way, what I told you last time was that I talked with Commander Xue and Chairman Zhang in Changsha about exchanging medicine and artillery for food.
How prepared are you for the incident?"
Liang Zhi nodded: "Don't worry, this matter is mainly done by Colonel Smith of the Logistics Department. Although this foreign devil is not of my race, he is still very careful in his work. He reported to me the day before yesterday and everything is ready."
, can be transferred to Changsha at any time."
Su Rui said with satisfaction: "Well! Allocating so much supplies to Changsha at once, and the distance is long, the logistics department must be careful. In this way, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow you ask Lin Shiqian to send a regiment of troops to escort this batch of supplies
Go to Changsha and then transport the ocean and grain back, there must be no mistakes."
"Okay, I understand, do you have anything else to explain?"
Su Rui pondered for a moment. Originally, in another time and space, Changsha at this moment should have been turned into a pile of ruins in a fire. But as if his arrival had changed something, the fire that was supposed to be ignited did not
It didn't happen, Changsha is still standing well.
But despite this, Su Rui is still worried about her father-in-law and his family staying in Changsha, which will probably turn into a battlefield soon.
Thinking of this, Su Rui said to Liang Zhi: "In this way, you tell the troops who sent people to deliver food, and borrow my father-in-law's family when they come back. I will write a letter to them personally, no matter what
Whether they are happy or not, we have to invite them here this time. Besides, Ziqing is about to give birth, and there is really no elder in the family who can't take care of her."
"Okay, I'll do it."
After saying that, Liang Zhi raised his head and said, "Master, you are also tired these days. The battle is finally over. You should take this opportunity to go home and rest for two days. Otherwise, the Japanese may still be there in a few days."
Will we invade Maoming again? I will still be busy then."
"Okay, then I'll go back first!"
Su Rui also hadn't been home for nearly a week, and he was thinking about his three wives at home. After hearing this, he stopped being polite to him, turned around and walked home.
Su Rui's home is in a courtyard not far from the garrison headquarters. The courtyard is not big and its style is somewhat like a courtyard house in Beijing. Su Rui, Song Ziqing, Xu Yaoshan and Yang Peile live here.
The main reason why Suri decided to settle here is that it is close to the security headquarters, only a few minutes away. For Suri, it is best to work in such a short distance.
"Squeak..."
Su Rui pushed open the door of the small courtyard, only to see a large crowd of people in the courtyard who were busy milling about. Xiaoyu, a girl, was walking out quickly carrying a washbasin, and happened to see the girl who had just opened the door and walked in.
of Suri.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Master, you are back, Master is back!"
After saying that, the little girl didn't care about anything else anymore. She put the washbasin away and ran over jumping up and down. She took Suri's hand and walked into the yard.
Su Rui was stunned, grabbed Xiao Yu and asked: "Wait... Xiao Yu, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at her young master and said, "What's going on? You have the nerve to ask, but the young mistress is about to give birth, don't you know?"
"Ah..." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
