9.182 Victory! Great victory!
On the evening of October 9, all foreign journalists in Wuhan received an invitation saying that the Wuhan government would hold an important press conference on the day of Double Ten. In order to avoid being bombed by Japanese planes, the invitation card only listed the location of the meeting in advance, but did not have the address for the press conference.
This kind of mysterious thing is obviously very appetizing to Western journalists! Almost all the reporters who received the invitation showed up at the meeting place on time. It's just that as soon as they appeared, they were immediately dragged away by the "military command" agents who had been waiting for a long time in a car, and they didn't even have time to speak.
This rude behavior made the reporters feel very indignant!
When they arrived at the press conference, some people immediately stood up to protest against the Wuhan government officials! Especially the reporters of Britain and France, they are completely angry!
"This is a violation of the right to a free interview! We are restricted from freedom! β
"We need a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, our ambassador will protest to your government! β
The Wuhan government representative who was in charge of receiving the reporters at the scene was a major general and military officer, with a very formulaic smile on his face and nodding frequently at the angry reporters, as if he understood their feelings very well.
Every journalist in the room knew that it was impossible for the Chinese major generals on the stage to take their protests for granted, especially British and French journalists!
In Shanghai and Nanjing, the two old Western powers had already lost face, and they not only gave the Japanese the national hero in the eyes of the Chinese---- General Xie Jinyuan, who was holding the Sixing warehouse, but also openly allowed the Japanese army to enter the concession to search for anti-Japanese activists in China. I heard that in Nanjing, British and French reporters also spies for the Japanese army!
Of course, it is impossible for such free people to be respected by the Chinese, and those few guys who jumped out are simply looking for boredom!
Sure enough, after dealing with it for a few minutes, the Chinese Major General made a gesture to invite the reporters to drink coffee and turned to leave, and some reporters who understood Chinese heard the Chinese Major General turn around and scolded: "! What do you think you're doing? If you don't use this method, I'm afraid that in the middle of the press conference, the Japanese bombs will fall! β
It turns out that in the eyes of the Chinese soldiers, the British and French really wear the same pants as the Japanese!
After waiting for a while, there were no high-ranking officials of the Wuhan government present, and the reporters began to look for programs for themselves, and the reporters who had good things to do opened a betting session on the spot, and the content of the bet was naturally to wait for what the Wuhan government officials would say at this press conference.
There are really people who bet! One American reporter pledged $50 to buy a stay, and Wuhan government officials will announce the results of Wanjialing's battle at a news conference, which is also the common choice of most reporters.
In fact, as early as a few days ago, this matter had already spread in the three towns of Wuhan.....
As soon as the news came out that "the Ninth Theater Department of the Chinese Army has surrounded an entire division of the Japanese army near De'an, and General Xue Yue is leading his troops to encircle and annihilate it," it immediately caused a sensation in the entire three towns of Wuhan. On the same day, major newspapers in Wuhan rushed to report and hyped up. Imaginative journalists even wrote a check for a victory at the front in advance.
However, the Wuhan government has not expressed its position, neither admitting nor denying this, but has always remained silent.
It is precisely because of this attitude of the Wuhan government that the news has been covered with a veil of mystery, and the more it spreads, the more it spreads, the farther and farther. As a result, it was later connected to Chongqing and Xi'an. Kunming and other mainland cities have begun to congratulate the victories. Even in the United States, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and other places, unconfirmed news has spread.
Huang Haoran, the victorious general of the Chinese, had just annihilated the 6th Division that had committed heinous crimes in Nanjing, and now the 106th Division was in a desperate situation again! How can such a series of surprises not make the Chinese ecstatic?
Careful Western reporters carefully calculated, and finally found that this is the third time this year that similar "big victory" rumors have been circulated! And the first two battles of Taierzhuang and Huangmei Guangji have become facts! It looks like the Chinese are really about to block the Japanese!
Just before the New Year, Western journalists would not even ask such questions, but recently, such thoughts have popped up from time to time, making it difficult for them to calm down.
Xue Yue... A brand new name, it turns out that in addition to Huang Haoran, Chief Li, and Zhang Zizhong, there are many generals in China who can fight......
In the conference room at the back of the press conference, Minister He and Jiang Baili were making preparations. Since this was a great opportunity to show his face, Minister He seemed very happy, and while he played with the blue and white tea bowl in his hand, he hummed a small tune, and glanced at the door from time to time.
"Brother Jing, I have entrusted you to preside over this press conference, I am afraid that many people will be jealous to the point that their eyes are bleeding! In tomorrow's newspaper, Brother Jing will definitely be in the limelight! β
Jiang Baili is not a person who likes to talk politely, it is difficult to get the praise of such a carefree person, and Minister He feels very useful.
"Brother Baili, you are too polite, you are actually all supporting roles... As soon as the speech of the Double Tenth Festival came out, what else could there be in the newspaper? The real heroes are now in Tianjia Town! At the end of this battle, your little brother must at least have the title of theater commander, right? β
Minister He naturally understands the principle of reciprocating favors, and polite words in officialdom are never too much. What's more, after the annihilation of the 6th Division, Huang Haoran's future is already destined to be unlimited! In addition, "Mrs." deliberately took Yang Wenna, who made a marriage contract with Huang Haoran, as her goddaughter, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a special honor and favor given to Huang Haoran by the highest authorities and "Mrs."! Since then, Huang Haoran has the first family as a backer, and a local warlord like Yang Sen as a helper, maybe it is not surprising that he will become the successor of the chairman of the committee tomorrow!
A year ago, some people said that Huang Haoran and Jiang Baili were Gao Pan, and they were stained with Jiang Baili's light; But just a year later, I'm afraid many people will have to say it the other way around.....
Thinking of this, Minister He suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to be close to Jiang Baili! To put it seriously, Jiang Baili can be said to have the grace of knowing Huang Haoran, and he is Huang Haoran's sworn brother, and marrying such a person is actually showing favor to Huang Haoran.
"You still know how to discern talents! Brother Baili... If I can have such a vision as you, why should I offend your little brother in the first place? I hope that Brother Baili will help me mediate a lot in the future and resolve the past......"
As soon as the words came out, Minister He immediately felt that something was wrong, after all, he was a veteran of the government, and now he actually lowered his posture to Huang Haoran as a young man, and he had to turn around through others, is this too shameless?
Minister He was thinking about how to redeem it, but heard Jiang Baili say: "This Xue Boling is also true, if the 106th Division is solved earlier, how good would it be to have a double happiness?" β
After that, Jiang Baili paused and turned to Minister He, and said apologetically: "Brother Jing, I was distracted just now, and I didn't hear what you said, or... You repeat? β
Jiang Baili didn't hear clearly, he was clearly giving Minister He the steps, such a quick-witted character, no wonder he can often walk in front of the highest authorities, but he can't get the slightest trouble.
Don't listen to things you shouldn't listen to, don't watch things you shouldn't see, this is also a kind of ability.
Just when Minister He was about to continue to practice qi cultivation with Jiang Baili, the door of the small living room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and before the visitor entered the house, he shouted happily:
"Minister He! Advisor Jiang! Good news! Good news! Wanjialing victory! General Xue Yue Xue completely annihilated the 106th Division and killed more than 10,000 enemies! β
Minister He in the room was stunned at first when he heard this! Later, when I saw that the person who came in was actually Chen Bui, I suddenly had no doubts in my heart!
This old man knows it, that is, the highest authorities know it! Xue Yue has not dared to report false news to the highest authorities! So the 106th Division of Wanjialing must have really been destroyed!
From the 6th to today, in just four or five days, the Chinese army actually annihilated two Japanese army divisions one after another! This is truly a big win like never before!
Compared with Minister He, Jiang Baili's expression was much more flat, he would communicate with Huang Haoran every day, so the situation on Xue Yue's side, Jiang Baili had already known about it through Huang Haoran.
According to Huang Haoran's inference, Xue Yue, who was helped by the 4th Army, the 66th Army and the 47th Independent Brigade, should have completed the task by the deadline required by the highest authorities, and now, Huang Haoran's inference has been confirmed!
Look at the time, there is still an hour and a half until October 10th, which is really just right!
"Brother Bray! Can there be a detailed battle report from Xue Yue? If the reporter asks for a while, he needs to answer......"
As a military adviser to the Wuhan government, Jiang Baili is still more professional in what he cares about. Minister He suddenly remembered that there were still a large group of reporters gathered outside, if he couldn't understand the details of the situation, and rashly went out to talk about the victory of Wanjialing, maybe it was really possible to be speechless in the face of reporters' questions, and finally be knocked off the stage.
Thanks to Jiang Baili!
Minister He threw a grateful look at Jiang Baili, and then also asked, "Yes, Brother Bray!" Can there be a detailed battle report from Xue Yue? β
"Yes!" Chen Bui seemed to be 10 years younger tonight, he took out Xue Yue's battle report from his waist, and he didn't even realize that he had damaged his clothes, maybe this is the legendary old man talking about juvenile madness, right?
"The commission has already read it, and immediately asked me to bring it to you, and said that if you need to draft a manuscript, let the three of us discuss it!"
No wonder! Minister He was still wondering why the highest authorities sent not Lin Wei, but Chen Bui, who was known as the highest authority's "guts"! Now, everything is understood!
"With such a succession, why didn't the commission come in person?"
Minister He's temperament is still careful after all, even if he is already ecstatic in his heart, he still hasn't forgotten to pat the highest authority's ass.
"I'm preparing for the National Day speech during the day, so I can't come! You only need to deal with a few dozen foreign journalists here, but tomorrow you will have to face the whole world! β
This explanation is in line with the character of the highest authority, and the reason why the highest authority does not come out of the limelight tonight is all because there will be a bigger limelight tomorrow!
"In that case, I can only trespass ......"
After determining that the supreme authorities would not come, the stone in Minister He's heart fell to the ground! Tonight, he can finally be the protagonist!
"Notify the outside, it's time to start!"
These nine words, Minister He said that he was subdued and frustrated, and his spirit was extremely high!
***************************************************************************
In the passage to the press conference, Minister He quickly read Xue Yue's battle report, and then learned about the victory of Wanjialing:
Although he received strong support from Huang Haoran, Xue Yue's encirclement and annihilation battle was still very hard. The per capita combat effectiveness Xue Yue had learned earlier in Lanfeng. After all, the devils are well-equipped, have fierce firepower, and have high fighting qualities among officers and men. In particular, when they fell into the dead ground of the last battle and displayed the crazy evil energy of "bushido", it really hurt the Chinese officers and soldiers who had the upper hand.
The fierceness and brutality of the later battles in Wanjialing surpassed any previous battle, and the attacking troops under Xue Yue's command often attacked a small hill or a village occupied by the Japanese army with a regiment or division. Since the Japanese army had no way to retreat at this time, every hill and village became the focus of repeated contention between the two sides. The arduous tug-of-war caused small positions to change hands frequently. Every time there is a change of control. All of them caused hundreds of officers and soldiers on both sides to lay their corpses on barren slopes and villages. Several square kilometers of land around Wanjialing were all soaked in blood and filled with a sea of corpses.
Faced with this kind of battle with a high concentration of personnel on both sides, the army aviation sent by General Shunroku Hata completely lost its effect. Seeing the crowd of people on the ground fighting like ants, the Japanese pilots in the air could only stare in a hurry, driving the plane around vigorously, but they could not find a chance to drop bombs or strafe them.
Xue Yue, who is in his early 40s, is young and energetic. From the beginning of the encirclement and annihilation battle, he stayed by the telephone day and night, urging the attacking troops in the Wanjialing area to "gnaw bones" one by one, and at the same time paying close attention to the movements east of De'an and in the direction of Ruiwu Road. Although the 106th Division of Songpu had already been held in the palm of his hand, he did not dare to relax for a moment!
Xue Yue was really afraid that there would be another Gui Yongqing in the blocking army! He didn't want Songpu to become the second Tufeiyuan again1
I don't want today's Wanjialing to become the Lanfeng City of the past.
The three-way reinforcements of the six generals of the six generals of Hata Shun caused great trouble to Xue Yue in the final stage of the Battle of Wanjialing, and Major General Suzuki, who had read a lot of military books, seemed to have a deep and thorough understanding of the essence of the grandson of the originator of military science in China thousands of years ago, "encircling Wei and saving Zhao". He actually dared to ignore Songpu, who frequently called for help, and did not lead his three detachments to relieve the siege of Wanjialing, but attacked eastward along Yongwu Road and its north side.
The commander chosen by the six generals of Shun Hata is really ruthless! Xue Yue immediately felt a powerful impact!
At this time, the blocking troops sent by Xue Yue not only had the danger of being attacked on both sides and being broken through by the Japanese army, but also had the possibility of two or three armies being eaten by devils. This made the chaotic scene on the Wanjialing battlefield even more chaotic for a while.
On October 6, Suzuki rescue troops appeared in the area north of Zhelin. Xue Yue didn't have time to hesitate anymore. At that moment, he gritted his teeth and drew out five divisions, including the new 13th Division, the new 15th Division, the 60th Division, the 91st Division, and the 6th Pre-Division, from the troops surrounding and attacking Songpu, to deploy southward to block Suzuki's reinforcements from advancing eastward. In order to cover the flank of Wanjialing, Xue Yue then placed Li Jue's 70th Army on the south bank of Xiushui in the Zhelin area and occupied the existing position, and planned to fight on the north bank.
In this way, the strength of the Chinese army to attack the 106th Division was greatly weakened.
Major General Suzuki's tactic of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" solved Songpu's temporary urgency. The fierce competition for Wanjialing has come back into a stalemate confrontation. The first 10 days of October were difficult and tragic for Xue Yue, but they were full of glory. He struggled to climb the cliff leading to victory, at all times at the risk of falling into the abyss.
From Shunroku Hata, to Ninji Okamura to Junrokuro Songura, these three people gave Xue Yue too many problems and set up too many obstacles. The Military Commission, the highest authorities, and the 1st Corps' complicated factions and troops gave him too much pressure, and for more than 10 days, Xue Yue had not stepped out of the small civilian house that the Corps Headquarters used as a command room! He was accompanied by only a few ringing telephones, an old canvas camp bed, and Japanese bombs falling from the sky. Xue Yue is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of failure.
On October 8, Wu Qiwei, commander-in-chief of the 9th Group Army of the First Corps, was about to stay in the headquarters of Yazuiyuan. He took a few staff officers and came to the headquarters of the 66th Army at Jixi.
Commander Ye Zhao, who had just come down from Lushan, was also a Guangdong general and knew Wu Qiwei's temperament. A few fellow villagers got together to command the battle, but they were also down-to-earth and comfortable.
Wu Qiwei's arrival also worried Ye Zhao. After several days of strong attack, Songpu put heavy troops on Stone Ridge. The 66th Army attacked and fought to the death with grenades and bayonets. The two sides went back and forth, and the number of days changed hands. This made the Japanese army realize that there was a large force of the Chinese army in the direction of Stone Ridge.
This was accompanied by a rain of Japanese shells and a frenzied blast of fighter planes. The front-line air defense facilities are extremely poor, and the alarm can only be whistled. On several occasions, as soon as the whistle sounded, the Japanese planes had already flown overhead, and people were sometimes blocked in the house. If it weren't for fate, Wu Qiwei and Ye Zhao might have been in danger.
Commander Ye didn't want Wu Qiwei to have three strengths and two weaknesses, especially in his own military department. But every time he persuaded, Wu Qiwei laughed it off. persuaded me to be in a hurry, and said: "It doesn't matter, it's okay to 'explode' death." β
Wu Qiwei did not withdraw until after the victory of Wanjialing. He is not afraid of death. On several occasions, when the staff officers ran in to persuade him, they found him lying on his desk and snoring like thunder.
Although the 66th Army suffered heavy casualties and unprecedented losses, it finally overcame Stone Ridge and pressed the main force of Songpu to the core again. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
