Chapter 407: Honor and Responsibility
One is the opposite of the Japanese who almost vomited blood.
Liu Lang's explicit order to send a telegram made the generals and commanders of the national army who were qualified to receive this telegram almost burst into laughter.
"Well said, Liu Lang, this kid is not rough! The Eighth Division was driven like a rabbit, and I see how the remaining 30,000 or so little Japan still have to deal with Lao Tzu. Admiral He laughed in the official office of the Northern Military Commission in Beiping, and his slightly haggard face became much more vivid.
As a substitute for Zhang Shaoshuai to become the supreme military commander in the north, one defeat after another made General He Ke bear a lot of pressure, Liu Lang's independent regiment and the two regiments of the 29th Army worked hard to defend Luo Wenyu's repulsion of the main force of the Japanese Eighth Division, which was originally the biggest highlight of the entire Great Wall Campaign.
But Liu Lang, a guy with extremely high military talent, had an unexpectedly low emotional intelligence, and without any instructions, he sent troops to pursue the retreating Eighth Division, which was not chaotic, and General He was worried in the past two days.
Of course, Admiral He would not be so angry for a little colonel he had never met, no matter how talented Liu Lang was, he was only a little colonel and could not control the overall situation. General He is worried about the entire northern war situation, if Liu Lang, a guy who has been molded into a national hero with his tacit consent, becomes a ghost under the guns of the Japanese invaders because of his own impulses, and becomes a tool for the Japanese invaders to show off again, then under the low morale, the already dangerous northern war situation will be eroded.
This is definitely not a good thing for Admiral He, who is aiming to move to a higher position, and he can be used by political enemies as an attack at any time in the future, even if he is now standing behind a bald man. The bald boss himself still dominates the entire political arena!
But now, Liu Lang has once again proved that his birth is not a fluke, and the situation in the north has finally taken a turn for the better.
Even if the envoy group from Nanjing who hoped to negotiate peace with the Japanese was already on the way to Beiping.
At least, he He Yingqin, no longer has to carry the pot of the defeated alliance under the city, then it is naturally borne by Wang from Nanjing.
I have to say that He Yingqin may not be a first-class general militarily, but his political vision is definitely not low.
But several Chinese generals who were familiar with Liu Lang did not think about it as much as he thought, and they called Liu Lang back one after another.
In Liu Lang's hand, he held a stack of telegrams.
"Boy, fight well, I, Song Zheyuan, won't accept anyone, but I'll serve you this time. Teach the Eighth Division a good lesson, the two mixed brigades here Lao Tzu will help you top, if they can get rid of a soldier and a pawn, you will come back and slap Lao Tzu Song Zheyuan's big ears. Also, Lao Tzu's two regiments are under your full command, but whether they are dead or alive, you have to bring them back to Lao Tzu. "The telegram of General Song Zheyuan of the 29th Army is the longest, and there are some mothers-in-law, but the arrogance in it is the most touching to Liu Lang.
The war has been fought so far, if it weren't for the variable Liu Lang, whether you admit it or not, in fact, China has already lost.
More than 100,000 troops defended according to the natural danger of the Great Wall, but they still let tens of thousands of Japanese invaders knock on the passes, and the passes of the Great Wall suffered heavy casualties, more than 40,000 people from the three divisions of the Central Army retreated, and more than 50,000 people from the 29th Army retreated.
Just like the grievances of the Eighth Division now, it is clear that the number of people far exceeds the enemy, but it has no power to resist.
Why? Equip.
In the entire 29th Army, there were only a dozen heavy machine guns in total, and no more than 6 old-fashioned mountain guns, which was the most equipped mortar, but only more than 20 units. On the other hand, the two mixed brigades opposite them had no more than 10,000 men, but they had 18 mountain guns, 20 infantry guns, more than 80 heavy machine guns, and one or two light machine guns per squad. Each squad had two grenadier groups, and they relied on the number of mortars that far suppressed the Chinese army's powerful but small numbers.
The 29th Army, which had equipment that was not on the same level at all, training that was not on the same level at all, and confronted the Japanese army with 40,000 or 50,000 people, was actually far inferior in combat effectiveness. But Song Zheyuan still shouted out the promise to help Liu Lang drag the two mixed brigades to death, which was not just a sentence.
This sentence represents that the 29th Army will pay unbearable casualties, and the general, all he wants is that Liu Lang can raise the prestige of our country and bring back the soldiers of the two regiments under his command, whether they live or die.
In fact, when Song Zheyuan said this, Liu Lang could vaguely see Song Zheyuan's tears through the telegram, and he was ready to be silent for both groups.
"Commander Liu, courage is commendable, but he should act with the camera, not be brave for a while, and should put the people of the country first. Looking forward to my brother's great victory, my brother is looking forward to it. Liu Lang's direct boss Huang Jie's call back was much more concise.
Liu Lang smiled slightly, Lieutenant General Huang is also a wonderful person, worthy of being a figure who can still make a comeback after losing the battle in the future.
The telegram was simple, but it was both positive and slightly critical.
This is also normal, since Liu Lang guarded Luo Wenyu, he almost cut off contact with the division headquarters, from repelling the eighth division to pursuing the division, it can be said that he did not have a telegram to the division headquarters.
Although "the general will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside", the remote command will inevitably cause great constraints to the front-line commander, and the second division was also under the onslaught of the Japanese army at that time, and it was able to manage the independent regiment there, but Huang Jie was Liu Lang's direct boss after all, and Liu Lang didn't even ask for polite instructions, so it was no wonder that Lieutenant General Huang was a little dissatisfied.
However, in the face of Liu Lang's monstrous achievements, Huang Jie still has the atmosphere of being a general of the first army after all, but he vaguely mentioned his dissatisfaction.
Of course, at this time, both Liu Lang and Huang Jie understand a truth, after this battle, no matter whether Liu Lang is promoted or demoted, he will definitely not be in the second division.
Smart people, you don't need to say it too thoroughly, anyway, Liu Lang has already seen the meaning from the last congratulatory speech, and he really deserves to be the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the bald principal! Figuring out the intention has reached the point of perfection.
But Liu Lang didn't care, as long as he beat the Eighth Division to the ground, the eyes of the people were focused on the Great Wall Regiment, and no matter how dissatisfied the bald principal was, he could only endure it. As an excellent politician, the bald headmaster doesn't like anyone who he doesn't like to put a stick on his head, and settling accounts after the autumn is his favorite, the principal's city is a deep pool.
What's more, since Liu Lang came to this world, he didn't want the bald principal to like it, and Liu Lang really couldn't afford his kind of liking. Liu Lang prefers that he loves the country and the nation more, not just as an excellent politician and the husband of a beauty in the Republic of China.
"The Chinese nation is proud of you and thousands of soldiers." General Cai Tingkai's message was shorter, but it was full of praise.
"On the day of my brother's triumph, my brother will be waiting for a feast, Zhang Zhizhong."
"Liu Men is very lucky, out of this tiger, thousands of men in Sichuan hate to resist with him, and he regrets it. Liu Xiang. β
γγγγγγ
After Liu Lang read the calls from the generals he was familiar with or unfamiliar with, he was full of pride.
No matter how weak the country and nation are, there is always a group of people who are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood to protect them. They were once lost in the long river of history, but they are so real to live here, in the most dangerous moment of the Chinese nation.
Not only them, but also the 2,000 soldiers under his command, just for one of his orders, they were willing to stand up to the guns of the Japanese invaders.
This is both glory and responsibility, this is Liu Lang's recognition of his own existence once again since he came to this time and space.
Yes, responsibility, as a Chinese, both now and in the future.
It has nothing to do with politics, this is the responsibility of the Chinese, even if the strong enemy is like a forest, he will also vow to return the great good rivers and mountains of our Chinese people.
