Chapter 580: Right and Wrong
Three days later, Jiang Haoran led the New Fourth Army directly into Jingdezhen, the Japanese Fifth Division originally stationed in Jingdezhen, after receiving the twenty regiments on the Hurricane Column to move closer to them, immediately fled, Jingdezhen at this time for the Japanese army has not been able to change the situation of the war, the Fifth Division has only one wing left, forcibly blocking can only be a mouse and a cat - looking for death. Anyway, Nanchang is lost, and the small Jingdezhen is no longer insignificant.
Jiang Haoran barely made any stop in Jingdezhen, and after ordering Li Tie to properly settle the New Fourth Army, he immediately led the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team and Zhao Zhi's hundreds of people to Nanchang.
At this time, there were only 97 members of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team left, and 51 of them were martyred in the battle, but fortunately, there were no casualties among the backbones. There were more than 1,000 people when Zhao Zhi surrendered to Cheng, and now there are only more than 400 left, but this army has been reborn, and from this moment on, it has officially been branded with Jiang Haoran.
Hundreds of people drove to Nanchang, Jiang Haoran returned to his heart like an arrow and said nothing all the way, and arrived outside Nanchang in a few days.
From afar, I saw that the welcoming team was magnificent, I am afraid that there were tens of thousands of people, and when I saw the appearance of the army, I knew that it was the descendant of the Nanshan Independent Army, Jiang Haoran got out of the car, and the slogan of "Welcome to the triumphant return of the headquarters" shouted majestically, and Jiang Haoran also waved his hand excitedly.
Everyone in the 40th Group Army knew that Jiang Haoran didn't like the scene of gongs, drums, and firecrackers in the sky, but he would definitely like this scene, and he would feel at ease when he saw that the brothers were all well.
In a shout, Zhang Dabiao walked over with the senior generals of the 40th Group Army quickly, and after a military salute, Jiang Haoran was so excited that he couldn't help himself, all kinds of concerns, all kinds of achievements, all kinds of thrills, and the topics came one after another, so that Jiang Haoran was overwhelmed, only Su Peng stood at the end of the team from afar, with a trace of loss in his eyes, everyone else won all the way, but he had nothing to achieve, and he also lost his troops.
Jiang Haoran seemed to have discovered them a long time ago, separated the crowd and walked in front of them, and said with a straight face: "What's the matter, I'm embarrassed to see people after losing the battle, aren't you?" ”
Su Peng's face immediately turned red, he stepped forward and saluted, and said: "General seat, I'm sorry brothers, the new third division has more than 24,000 people, half of them were martyred, and the entire artillery regiment was destroyed by the enemy, and the task has not yet been completed. ”
Jiang Haoran said with a straight face: "The main responsibility this time is not you, it's me who pushed too hard, and you went deep alone, but your mistake is that you don't have enough sense of worry, knowing that there is a gap in the rear, but you don't take any precautions, even if you release the sentry a few miles behind you, this disaster can be mitigated or even avoided, this is a lesson." Zhao Zhi ??????"
Jiang Haoran turned around and shouted as he spoke, Zhao Zhi hurriedly ran over, Jiang Haoran continued to say to Su Peng: "I'll give you another fierce general, although this Zhao Zhi has been in the puppet army, but in this Jiujiang Campaign, you just sacrificed a regiment commander, let him make up for it!" ”
Seeing this, Zhang Dabiao hurriedly followed, and took the opportunity to tell Jiang Haoran that the Military Commission's rewards and orders for the 40th Group Army were handed over to the plane.
Jiang Haoran was stunned, and immediately his face became ugly, and he said angrily: "What? Want the plane that Lao Tzu worked so hard to get back? There are no doors. ”
Zhang Dabiao said worriedly: "I'm afraid it won't work this time, Chen Chen has already arrived in Nanchang just now, most of them are here for this?" ”
"Chen Chen?" Jiang Haoran hurriedly turned around and glanced at the welcoming team, Zhang Dabiao said hurriedly: "Chen Chen is not here, there are a lot of domestic and foreign reporters in the city, don't you like to appear in front of these people, I took them to where Chen Chen is, and Chen Chen is busy dealing with them at this moment." ”
"Let's go, let's see!" Jiang Haoran said with a blushing face.
The group walked quickly into the city, and Leng Rushuang, who had been following Jiang Haoran, whispered: "Haoran, let's suffer a little loss about the plane, you will definitely not be able to hide it from the chairman of the committee if you openly disobey the order this time, but don't make a big deal in front of reporters and let the chairman step down?" ”
Jiang Haoran uncharacteristically proposed to meet the reporter, which made Leng Rushuang very worried that he would bring this kind of dissatisfaction to the reporter, and in front of the reporter, he would not be able to take back what he said, and it would be Jiang Haoran who would suffer at that time, so she had to remind Jiang Haoran.
Jiang Haoran looked at her with a wry smile, but said no more.
Several days of shelling have made the ancient city of Nanchang full of holes, and everywhere you look is a broken wall, and when the shelling is carried out, it is impossible for the Japanese army to move the people to a safe place, so in this battle, innocent people suffered many casualties.
Later historians commented on this battle, saying that the commanders at that time acted simply, directly and violently, and did not give much consideration to the safety of the people, resulting in tens of thousands of casualties among the people, which was so cold-blooded that it was simply outrageous. It is also asserted that such a person living in a peaceful and prosperous era is definitely an extreme terrorist. But some people also retorted that in the environment at that time, if they did not decisively put pressure on the Japanese army in Nanchang, tens of thousands of New Fourth Army would die, and the commander was not wrong in doing so, and the war would inevitably cause casualties, and it could only be said that the people were born at the wrong time.
"The merits and demerits will be left for posterity to comment!" This is Jiang Haoran's sigh in his heart when he saw the tragic situation in Nanchang.
The Jiangxi Provincial Department of Finance building, this four-story building is still standing still after the baptism of artillery fire, its own solidity is only one aspect, the most important thing is that it is close to the center of the city, no matter which direction the artillery fire strikes, it will not reach this distance at all.
At this time, this place had become the temporary headquarters of the 40th Group Army, and Chen Chen and a group of reporters were arranged in the large conference room on the fourth floor.
Jiang Haoran is no stranger to this place, when he was guarding Nanchang last year, it was here that he annihilated the Japanese army's kamikaze special combat team, and his attendant medical officer Xue Lina and Wang Yao also died tragically in the hands of devils here, the scene of the year was too bloody, and even Jiang Haoran was still a little throbbing and sad standing here at this time, looking at the door of the Finance Hall, and refused to enter.
Jiang Haoran's initiative made Zhang Dabiao unexpected, he participated in the defense of Nanchang back then, and of course he knew what happened here, but he didn't expect that Jiang Haoran, who has always been cold-blooded as steel, would actually have a sentimental side, and immediately picked his head and said that he was not thoughtful, and he should not use this place as a headquarters, and he would change places tomorrow.
