Chapter 209: Received by the Chief
Liu Ming was originally just a deputy battalion commander who did not enter the stream, and the battle of Songhu was too tragic, the soldiers were consumed in batches, and his commanders were all martyred on the battlefield. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He was promoted by the line of fire to become the deputy commander of the 174th Division Supplementary Regiment, acting as the head of the regiment, he was not happy to encounter a major rout, and on the way to retreat, he escaped death several times, and almost went to meet the king of Hades.
Although one of his lives was saved, countless brothers died along the way, seeing too much life and death, and the cruel war made him lose his desire to be promoted and make a fortune, and he just wanted to live.
But what he didn't expect was to just break out of the encirclement and return home. In the area controlled by the army, General Liu Xing of the Jiangfang Group Army asked to see him by name, which caught him a little off guard.
Although he is the deputy commander of the supplementary regiment and is already an unattainable commander in the eyes of ordinary soldiers, in the face of the high-ranking commander of the Jiangfang Group Army, he is really unable to be on the stage as the deputy commander of the supplementary regiment.
The fact that the commander of the Jiangfang Group Army wanted to meet him in person made him excited and at the same time nervous, and he was excited that he could be personally received by the general, and he might be able to rise to prominence.
But he also has his own concerns, now that the troops are all disorganized, and he has broken out of the occupied area with his own people, it will be troublesome if he is mistaken for a deserter or a spy.
Liu Ming was very apprehensive in his heart, and asked the commander of the guard platoon of the 667th Regiment escorting him along the way, but he didn't get any useful answers, only one sentence, they were only ordered to escort him to the headquarters, and it is unknown what he was going to do.
The area between Huashan and Jiangyin has infiltrated many small units of devils, and they exchanged fire with devils several times along the way, but with the protection of the guard platoon, Liu Ming finally arrived at the headquarters of the Jiangfang Group Army without danger.
The Jiangyin fortress position was strong, and along the way, Liu Ming saw countless trench fortresses made of reinforced concrete, and saw countless erected barbed wire.
Although the cannon roared and the devil attacked fiercely, Liu Ming's heart was inexplicably stable, there were so many strong positions, and it was expected that the devil would not be able to attack it.
Seeing the fortified positions of the Jiangyin Fortress and the anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery erected, Liu Ming remembered the Battle of Shanghai half a month ago, and his face was gloomy.
If there were these trenches made of cement and steel in Shanghai at that time, and there were so many machine guns and cannons, I am afraid that my brothers would not have died so that not even a whole corpse was left behind, thinking of this, his heart was as heavy as pressing a stone, and he didn't have the heart to look at the scenery on the side of the road, so he was taken straight to the headquarters of the Jiangfang Group Army.
The headquarters of the Jiangfang Group Army was set up in the fortress for the sake of safety, because the devil's fleet was swimming on the nearby river, and the bombardment of naval guns and planes in the sky from time to time made Jiangyin County unsafe.
The apprehensive Liu Ming didn't wait long, and with the sound of footsteps outside the door, a middle-aged general in a Nizi coat soon strode into the room surrounded by several adjutants.
Liu Ming saw that the person who came was extraordinary, and the collar badge was embellished with three stars, and he immediately felt terrified, although he was lying on the stretcher, he wanted to struggle to get up and salute.
"Liu Ming, the deputy commander of the 174th Division Supplementary Regiment, has seen Chief Liu!"
Commander Liu Xing saw that Liu Ming was already lying on the stretcher covered in blood, but he didn't cry out in pain, and secretly said that he was a man with iron bones, he stopped, solemnly raised his hand and returned the salute.
Seeing the dignified lieutenant general and the commander with the rank of general return the salute to him, Liu Ming was flattered and thought that those dead brothers would never come back, his nose was sore, and tears flashed in his eyes.
"Don't cry! As a soldier, how can you cry easily! Liu Xing said with a low face.
Liu Ming's tears that were about to roll out of his eyes were forced back, making Commander Liu Xing nod with satisfaction.
"I know that you fought badly in Shanghai, and our hundreds of thousands of brothers are gone, but as a soldier of the party-state, as long as we are alive, as long as there is still a breath left, we will never give in easily! Never kowtow and cry! We will always fight little Japan, and we will not lose our country! ā
Commander Liu Xing's face was serious, and his words were like a hammer, so that Liu Mingming, the deputy of the regiment, engraved it in his heart.
"Yes!" Liu Ming took a deep breath and felt that he had another surge of strength in his body.
Liu Xing found a chair and sat opposite Liu Ming.
"You're hurt, how are you feeling now?" Liu Xing unexpectedly did not inquire about the battle, but first cared about Liu Ming's injury.
Although Liu Ming grinned in pain, he endured the pain and said: "Sir Liu, my injury is not in the way, it will be fine soon, and I can still fight devils."
Commander Liu Xing patted him on the shoulder and encouraged: "Our officers suffered great losses in the First World War in Shanghai, and officers with combat experience are even more scarce.
"I must take care of my injuries and strive to return to the team as soon as possible to fight the little devils!"
"Hmm" Liu Xing nodded, quickly changed the topic, and began to praise Liu Ming: "You were able to break out of the enemy's heavy encirclement this time, you did a good job as the deputy commander of the regiment......"
Hearing Commander Liu Xing's praise, Liu Ming, deputy of the regiment, scratched his head in embarrassment: "Chief Liu, I can't hide it, it was not me who led the team to collect the defeated brothers and break through the siege along the way, but someone else."
"Oh? How can this be? But how did I hear that the highest-ranking commander who led the team to break through was you? Liu Xing asked with a puzzled face.
Liu Ming said with a straight face: "Chief Liu, I am indeed the highest-ranking soldier in the breakout team, but because I was injured and inconvenient to command, the person in charge of the real command is Yang Ling, a battalion commander under me."
Seeing that Liu Ming didn't seem to be telling a lie, Liu Xing suddenly became interested in Yang Ling, and was able to lead nearly a thousand people to successfully break through the siege of the devil's heavy pursuit as a battalion commander.
"Then where is this Battalion Commander Yang at the moment?" Liu Xing asked.
Liu Ming, the deputy of the regiment, said with a gloomy face: "When we broke through last night, some of the brothers were surrounded by devils, and he took people back to save them, and then there was no news, I am afraid that they have been martyred now......
Thinking of Yang Ling's martyrdom, Liu Ming's heart was quite unpleasant, if it weren't for Yang Ling, he would have confessed to the devil a long time ago, but now that he is alive, Yang Ling's life and death are unknown, and he feels very guilty in his heart.
Commander Liu Xing also shook his head regretfully after hearing this: "It's a pity ......"
It must not be easy to successfully break through the siege and command attainments in the encirclement and interception of the devil soldiers, if you cultivate a little, you must be a pillar of talent, but unfortunately it is too late now.
However, the death of a battalion commander is only a pity for Liu Xing, who is in a high position, and it is far from being taken seriously.
Since Yang Ling was martyred, the task of boosting the morale of the army had to fall to the commander Liu Ming, who then asked them about the details of the breakthrough, in order to grasp the enemy's situation.
But when he heard that Liu Ming and their breakthrough process in Suzhou eliminated a wing of the devil's team, on the way to retreat, and eliminated the devil's cavalry squadron, and returned to the horse to kill the devil's Dazuo, he couldn't sit still.
"Immediately send someone to find out the true situation, and ask the Secrecy Bureau to cooperate if necessary."
Liu Xing is very excited now, if what Liu Ming said is true, as long as it is published in the newspaper, then in terms of public opinion, it can greatly improve the morale of the Chinese military.
Thinking of a lone army deep behind enemy lines fighting for hundreds of miles, not only fighting to the death without surrendering, but also destroying a lot of enemies, is tantamount to a shot in the arm for the Chinese army that is currently in continuous defeat! It will give them great encouragement.
