Chapter 45: The Japanese Hefei Headquarters, an urgent telegram from Shucheng
Monkey was reporting seriously in a small notebook. Apart from the sizzling sound of the burning Japanese corpses, the only voice around him was his.
And when the monkey closed the notebook, the whole audience was boiling!
Fighting the Japanese is important, as it is a national and family feud.
But the spoils are equally important.
If we just fight without seizing spoils, no one can withstand the consumption of war. Especially in this era of material scarcity, spoils are too important.
And another point is that the captured goods can not only replenish the troops' ammunition, but also boost morale and boost morale.
Just think about it, snatching the enemy's weapon, and then turning around to use it to attack the enemy, how satisfying and comfortable would that feel?
Just highlight the decompression.
"Yes, comrades, brothers!
Yesterday we wiped out a battalion of Japanese soldiers, and tonight we also wiped out more than 2000 enemies. Brothers, this time we wiped out a regiment of Japanese soldiers, a total of more than 3900 people! "
Xiao Dingfang spoke loudly, and the soldiers cheered again.
Wow wow wow wow!
After the soldiers cheered, Xiao Dingfang continued:
"And we, four infantry battalions, 2800 men, wiped out a regiment of the devils.
What does this mean? This means that the Japanese are not invincible!
A bullet hits, a shell explodes, and the Japanese will still have to go to see King Qin Guang!
I believe you have seen it just now. You should have had a feeling when moving the corpses, that is, the Japanese soldiers were not tall, but very short.
Yes, they are not short, so why do we call them Japanese pirates?
Brothers, warriors! Today you are men of full stature, today you are heroes!
From today on, you will no longer be an ordinary member of the Chinese land.
From today on, you are soldiers, you are military personnel, and you are an upright soldier of the land of China!
From today on, you will move forward!
From today on, you will be invincible!"
Xiao Dingfang gave a short speech, and after he finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent!
Many people are confused. Wasn’t it about seized supplies? Why did this suddenly appear?
However, many people were shocked.
Half a month ago, they were all just ordinary people. They joined the army only because they heard that they could fight the Japanese here, or in other words, they came here to serve as soldiers and make a lot of money.
But at this moment, the word "soldier" that Xiao Dingfang said began to be quietly imprinted in their hearts.
An inexplicable and vague sense of responsibility quietly formed in my heart. Although it was not so strong yet, a seed had been planted.
Clap clap clap clap!
Suddenly, applause broke out in the audience, and the monkey was the first to applaud!
Then, there was thunderous applause!
The applause lasts forever.
"Gather and set off!
Return to Guanchong, return to Tiger Mountain!"
Xiao Dingfang gave orders again, and the battle in Zhangjiaao was completely over.
The soldiers of the four battalions strode forward with a brand new spirit.
Of course, where there is victory there is sacrifice.
In the battle of Zhangjiaaodi, a total of 159 people from the Third Regiment were killed, 21 were seriously injured, and the number of people slightly injured was relatively large, with 287 people slightly injured.
So, in total, the casualties in this battle reached 467. If the battle of Guanchong yesterday at noon is included, the casualties have reached nearly 900.
Among them, about 300 people were killed and more than 100 were seriously injured. That is to say, after two battles, the four infantry battalions of the Third Regiment lost more than 400 people.
Xiao Dingfang was also helpless about this. Even though they had the support of powerful 105 and 155 artillery, the shells on the battlefield were not smart, and the bullets were even less smart.
All we can say is that the old Japanese soldiers during this period were still very strong in combat.
……
Before I knew it, the sky was bright.
At the Japanese headquarters in Hefei, more than a hundred kilometers away, Sakai Tokutaro arrived at the headquarters early in the morning and was talking excitedly with several Japanese lieutenant generals.
One of them was the commander of the Japanese 6th Division, Lieutenant General Shiro Inaba.
Tokutaro Sakai was originally a major general brigade commander under the 6th Division. After the Nanjing Massacre, Tokutaro Sakai was temporarily separated to form the Sakai Detachment.
The vanguard force in the attack on Hefei was the Sakai Detachment, and the Inoki Regiment was a part of the Sakai Detachment.
The other person here is the commander of the Second Army of the North China Front Army, Lieutenant General Prince Toshihiko Higashikuni. Although he is also a lieutenant general, he is a member of the royal family and has a very respected status.
"Sakai-kun, the military has been very satisfied with your performance. Whether it was the attack on Jinling, the capital of Dragon Country, or the occupation of Hefei where we are now, Sakai-kun's performance was truly amazing."
Lieutenant General Inaba Shiro spoke with a smile on his face, and Sakai Tokutaro was also very excited to express his gratitude: "Arigato, this is what I should do as an imperial soldier."
"Yeah, Sakai-kun's excellence cannot be disputed.
Mr. Sakai may not know this yet, but you are about to be promoted. It is reported that the military's order is on the way. In at most half a month, you will become the commander of the 1st Independent Garrison of the Kwantung Army.
As long as you stay in office for half a year and achieve some outstanding results, you will soon be promoted to a lieutenant general of our empire and have your own division."
Hearing this, Tokutaro Sakai was really excited. Compared with his classmates of the same period, his promotion speed was very slow.
You know Yoshio Shinozuka, right? He was a classmate of Tokutaro Sakai, but Yoshio Shinozuka was already a lieutenant general in the army and a division commander in 1937.
And he is only a major general now.
So now when he heard that he had the opportunity to be promoted to Army Lieutenant General, he was very excited, so excited that he could hardly believe it. After all, happiness came too suddenly.
Sure enough, the previous filial piety and arrangements did have an effect.
So, Sakai Tokutaro looked at Prince Higashikuni Toshihiko with an expectant look, hoping to get confirmation from this royal family member.
In response to this, Prince Higashikuni Palace Toshihiko also smiled and nodded:
"Sakai-kun, what Lieutenant General Michiba Shiro said is true. Your appointment has been preliminarily approved, and the official appointment will be in your hands in half a month at most.
Mr. Sakai, the locust army of our empire has officially launched the Wuhan Battle against the Dragon Kingdom. In this battle, we will annihilate most of the main forces of the Dragon Kingdom and force them to surrender to our empire.
Let this holy war end with the victory of our empire's locust army.
The north-south transportation line from Hefei to Anqing is an important transportation line for the North China Expeditionary Army to move south, and it is also an important material supply line for our locust army to transport materials from the Northeast to the south.
So, Mr. Sakai, in the past half month since you were appointed, you should know what to do, right? "
"Hey, wakalimasita!
I will definitely open up the Anhe Highway to pave the way for my imperial army and my imperial holy war1"
Just as Sakai finished expressing his opinion, Michiye Shiro spoke again: "Sakai-kun, His Royal Highness rarely speaks so much.
Furthermore, His Royal Highness fully supports your appointment.
It is also because of his support that your appointment was made so quickly."
Hearing this, Sakai became even more excited and immediately nodded and stood at attention.
"Hi, thank you for your cultivation, Your Highness, and thank you for your cultivation, Your Excellency Lieutenant General!
Our Sakai detachment will move south as soon as possible and strive to open up the Anhe Highway traffic line within half a month."
"Yoshi, then I wish Mr. Sakai good luck in martial arts."
"Hey!"
All I can say is that the atmosphere in the headquarters is harmonious at this moment.
After all, since the war broke out in 1937, their imperial locust army has been invincible, sweeping across large tracts of Dragon Kingdom territory with supreme power and obtaining a large amount of resources.
War is the empire's way to make money, and war is their way to get promoted and make money.
However, at this moment, a communications officer walked in holding a folder.
"Report to His Excellency the Commander, this is an urgent telegram from Shucheng!"
Seeing this, Prince Tokuni Palace Minoruhiko looked unhappy and said, "I'm so happy, why are you sending me an urgent telegram?"
He just glanced at it, then picked up the cup and drank tea without saying anything.
Inaba Shiro was very angry. He stood up and shouted angrily: "Baka, don't you know we are talking about something important? Who let you in?"
"Hey yeah, wakalimasita.
Well, this is an urgent telegram from Shucheng, it's extremely urgent!"
"Na Li!"
As soon as he heard the urgent telegram, Shiro Inaba's anger was mostly eliminated.
When Tokutaro Sakai heard that it was an urgent call from Shu Cheng, his heart skipped a beat and he instantly felt that something was wrong.
After all, there were only his troops in Shucheng. Could something big have happened in Shucheng?
