In fact, before General He's telegram arrived, Song Zheyuan, who had received the good news, had already sent people on fast horses to Luo Wenyu.
Annihilating a brigade! It was done by two regiments under his own command, which made Song Zheyuan unable to believe but also a little hopeful.
Just like what diaosi on the Internet often say to comfort themselves: Even if you are a salted fish, you still have to have a dream. What if you turn over one day?
The person who came was Deputy Army Commander Liu Ruming, a dignified lieutenant general with a guard platoon and a group of fast horses.
When Liu Lang, Qi Guangyuan and others came out to greet them, they saw that in this cold weather, the people and horses were all sweating and white smoke was coming out from their foreheads. This showed that Liu Ruming was in a desperate mood.
However, the guard platoons were all equipped with fancy traps hanging on their chests with their hands on their guns. If anyone dared to report military intelligence, they might be ready to be punished on the spot.
Without all the politeness, what Liu Ruming placed in front of Liu Ruming were all the epaulettes of the 4th Brigade from Mitsu Suzuki to the captain, Major First Class, Mitsu Suzuki's major general-level saber, and the 4th Brigade snatched from the fire.
There is no data that is completely destroyed.
The only thing left to prove is that Liu Lang asked Ji Yanxue, the only one in the group who owned a camera, to take a few photos of Mitsu Suzuki and the corpses of Japanese military officers lined up in a row, but it would take time to develop them.
As for the corpses, Liu Lang left them where they were for the incoming Japanese troops to handle. Except for the corpses of his comrades, Liu Lang didn't think the corpse of a Japanese major general was worthy of being carried by Chinese soldiers.
Without looking at the photo, Liu Ruming was already convinced. Looking at the groups of khaki military uniforms not far away who were working hard to carry the bodies, Liu Ruming almost burst into laughter.
After the 14th Brigade, which arrived before Nishi Yiichi, had no choice but to accept the fact that the 4th Brigade was annihilated, it sent several Japanese troops under white flags to negotiate with the independent group, hoping to restrain the 4th Brigade.
The corpses of Japanese soldiers.
Liu Lang naturally agreed. The 4th Brigade dropped more than 4,000 corpses in front of several defensive main positions. Later, it was retaliated by Japanese artillery and was blown to pieces. Let alone cleaning it up, it was painful to watch from a distance.
.Although it is cold and there is no strange smell now, but when the time comes and it is fried again, the smell of barbecue will really make people not want to eat the fragrant mutton hot pot.
However, Liu Lang only allowed them to come to each position with only a hundred people, and they were not allowed to bring weapons. In fact, Liu Lang was not worried about the Japanese army's ulterior motives. The machine gunners in the bunker were all ready, with hundreds of small guns
It’s okay for the Japanese to be used as food if they want.
In fact, the subsequent group of little devils were very honest. Apart from vomiting and busy carrying the corpses, they did not even glance at the Chinese army position a hundred meters away.
Obviously, this Chinese position where thousands of their comrades were buried is as terrifying as hell to them, and they just want to leave this place as soon as possible.
The good news turned out to be true. The 4th Brigade was actually wiped out. Liu Ruming looked up to the sky and laughed until tears came out of his eyes.
The telegram confirming the authenticity of the victory report was quickly transmitted from the 29th Army Headquarters to General He Yingqin of the Peking Military Commission. At the end, it was specifically stated that the enemy's Major General Suzuki Mitsutsu's saber and epaulettes would be delivered to Peiping in the next two days.
.
Now that the authenticity of the good news was confirmed, the bald principal, who was currently stationed at the "Bandit Suppression Headquarters" in Nanchang, naturally received the good news from the front line of the northern anti-Japanese war as soon as possible.
"Good boy, good boy, it's not in vain that I pushed against all the opinions and promoted him!" The bald principal, who walked back and forth in the office several times in military uniform, said several "good boys" in succession.
It can be seen that Liu Lang's independent regiment wiped out more than 9,000 people in the 4th Brigade this time, which is great news for the bald principal.
Not to mention that since the founding of the Republic of China, there had been several battles with the Japanese invaders. Never had such a feat made the bald principal so excited. More importantly, this victory came at the right time for the bald principal, who was now a bit anxious.
Rehe fell in just half a month. At the Great Wall, the Japanese invaded with nearly 70,000 troops on a hundred-mile defense line. The frontline only pointed at the important northern town of Peiping. Zhang Xueliang resigned and took the blame for the battle. The newly appointed chairman of the Northern Military Commission Branch
General He Yingqin called several times to request reinforcements and various supplies to facilitate the war.
Not only soldiers, but also 400,000 people. It can be said that since the beginning of the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the eyes of the people across the country have been fixed on the central government's northern resistance war. Because everyone knows that there is no room for failure in Peiping, and the Japanese invaders have occupied
Once the Northeast is occupied, and then Hebei is occupied, the hinterland of southern China will be opened to the Japanese aggressors. The Japanese aggressors can send their troops southward at any time and eventually devour all of China one bite at a time.
But seeing that the best opportunity to eliminate the "**", a serious problem in his heart, is just around the corner, how can the bald principal, who has always advocated the idea of "fighting the inside first and then calming down the outside", let his long-planned plan fail? Under tremendous pressure, the bald headmaster
The principal insisted not to increase troops in the north, and even faced the request of the Central Army generals who participated in the "bandit suppression" to serve the country and go to the north to fight in the war. He suppressed them with an extremely tough attitude. There was not a single soldier among the hundreds of thousands of national troops involved in the siege.
One soldier was transferred to the north.
It can be said that the bald principal has made up his mind that even if the war situation in the north is corrupt, he will eliminate his inner troubles in one fell swoop. It can even be said that the bald principal has actually lost confidence in the war in the north.
At this time, Liu Lang reported to him with the record of annihilating a Japanese brigade. Why didn't the bald principal spin around excitedly for several times? For such a born politician, the lives of thousands of Japanese invaders were actually counted.
It's nothing, what's important is that he can give an explanation to the people of the country and give himself an excellent fig leaf for not resisting foreign humiliation with all his strength.
After wandering around for a few times, the excited bald principal calmed down, sat on a chair and touched his head.
Soon, the bald headmaster made a decision and said to his captain Wang Shihe: "Call the Northern Military Commission to award Liu Lang, Qi Guangyuan, and Dong Shengtang the Medal of Blue Sky and White Sun, and reward each of the three regiments with 100,000 oceans to reward the meritorious personnel.
, I hope he will continue to work hard and continue his achievements."
Meritorious service must be rewarded, but the status and background of these three meritorious service members are a bit troublesome. Otherwise, the bald principal is an outstanding political figure, and even the reward for the soldier's service must be linked to the factional distinction.
The 29th Army Song Zheyuan, who had fought with him in the Central Plains War, could never be allowed to grow in strength again. Although Liu Lang was a member of the Central Army, he had the status of Uncle Liu Xiang, the King of Sichuan who had already unified Sichuan, and he could not be allowed to grow again.
Its strength has grown too fast. It is okay to lead a regiment and a brigade, but if it expands its strength, it will be difficult to control. Otherwise, if he brings an elite division to go with Liu Xiang, who has always been at odds with him, his bald headmaster is not
Became a laughing stock in the eyes of warlords across the country?
For someone like Liu Lang who has not expressed his factional tendencies, even if he is a general, he cannot be used or reused! And he must be used with caution!
Without hesitation, Presidential Aide Wang Shihe turned and left. He was still very clear about the mentality of his division commander.
Only He Yingqin, the current top commander of the Northern War Zone, is smiling bitterly. The old man is doing this from a political point of view. He used three Blue Sky and White Sun medals to send away three regiment commanders who had great achievements. It looks very honorable, but there is no practicality at all.
The benefits. The old man's wishful thinking was so loud that it set him, the supreme commander of the northern theater, on fire.
In the face of such great achievements, a medal is nothing!
