Chapter 80: The Establishment of a Division

Night flights, at this time there are no various night equipment, there is no mass popularization, and the danger is very great. But in order to save people from evacuating safely, Meng Xiang fought hard for his old book. The 3 Stuka and 3 BF109Bs that had been put together were also transferred to the riverside. After the free donation, the north bank of the river provided great convenience.

As it turned out, these six planes also frightened the ship that did not know the truth. Patrol boats, which do not have much air defense, are directly looking for food when they get on the plane.

Time! The adventure of the plane won time, but it also came at a great cost. Two Stuka accidentally crashed into the river, killing three pilots. I feel sorry for Meng Xiang, the plane is destroyed, it doesn't matter, the three pilots are much more valuable than the plane.

Li Guidan, who was familiar with the terrain, forcibly asked to take part in the operation, and was transferred to the airfield in Nanjing and dropped two small bombs, causing several pilots who were planning to forcibly fly to never fly. After wrecking two planes and blowing up a runway, their two BF109Bs returned safely. When he heard about this, he also stretched his face and felt distressed, not only feeling sorry for the pilot, but also sorry for the two Stuka that already belonged to their team.

Due to the danger of flying at night, the plane did not take off after all. In the early morning, when a large group of planes arrived in the mist, the evacuation plan was almost complete. Only the fragments of the pontoon bridge that were actively blown up were scattered everywhere.

During the entire operation, a total of 54,315 people were rescued. During the retreat, even though there was a protective rope, nearly 100 weak people fell into the river. More than 5,000 corpses were removed from there after several days of torture, so that the total number was about the same as the nearly 60,000 people of the person himself.

The vast majority of these people are young adults, including 12,918 soldiers, most of whom are veterans of elite troops.

Although almost all of the arms and equipment produced by Meng Xiang during this period of time were invested in the operation, if it were not for the support of money from the sale of medicine and scattered arms sales, Meng Xiang would almost be in debt. But when Meng Xiang looked at the summary report of Rat Er, he was very pleased.

After all, human life is priceless.

Meng Xiang also fell in love with the potential of this group of veterans. Even in this era when human life is as cheap as grass, the value of a veteran is much higher.

These veterans went through the Battle of Nanjing, and many of them also experienced the Battle of Songhu. Many of these soldiers from elite units have also been systematically trained. Of course, having experienced the test of the battlefield is the preciousness of these veterans.

Most of the more than 10,000 POW soldiers were wounded, and few were intact. In an era of lack of medical care, most of these wounded soldiers will be slowly abandoned. The value of wounded soldiers has not yet been fully appreciated at this time.

But Meng Xiang, who has a sense of the future, knows that veterans are the soul of a team, and the lessons learned by wounded soldiers at the cost of injuries are even more profound.

Although at this time, Meng Xiang's team was mainly clone soldiers who were absolutely loyal, but the limit of 20,000 made Meng Xiang have to consider the source of ordinary people. At the critical moment when the devils are pressing towards Shandong step by step, the role of veterans is undoubtedly much more cost-effective than training new soldiers.

At this time, not only did he not pay much attention to the wounded soldiers, but even the stragglers could not find their own team and it was normal for him to vote. This is Meng Xiang's opportunity.

The 87th Army, the 88th Army, the Teaching Corps and other elite units were basically lost in the Battle of Nanjing. This is also one of the reasons why they have not been able to turn it over since then. At this time, more than 10,000 soldiers returned, and the commanders of all units rushed to recruit the old troops. However, at this time, Meng Xiang also intervened.

In the past two days, newspapers across the country have been evaluating and reporting on this rescue operation led by the central political axe, and all kinds of bigwigs who have been showing up have taken a turn for themselves.

The vanguard army contributed and donated a large number of weapons free of charge, and in the end, the spirit of Lei Feng, who did good deeds without leaving his name, was finally rewarded by the bigwigs from all sides.

The establishment of a division.

Not many people particularly care about this kind of compilation, they care more about strength, and when the strength arrives, this compilation will naturally exist. But if Meng Xiang wants to be on the stage of history and recognized by others, he must have a clear formal identity. Several unsuccessful attempts to solicit high-ranking officers made him fully aware of the importance of his name.

Originally, the bigwigs were going to give at most one reading brigade to the establishment. Although Meng Xiang did not have silver bullets, the gift of arms and weapons also immediately changed the opinions of some people.

Due to the first evacuation of the 2nd Army Corps, Shimonoseki fell into danger. Pointing the spearhead, Xu Yuanquan had to throw out the establishment of a division to maintain his strength.

Thus, the establishment of the 41st Division fell to the head of the vanguard army.

Although the name of 41 is not good, it has a bit of a humorous style of Western-style festivals. But recruiting veterans justifiably is what Meng Xiang values most at this time. Under the same conditions, the regular army is always more attractive than the militia.

More than 10,000 wounded soldiers and more than 40,000 strong people, under the constant hints of Meng Xiang's faction, understood the specific situation of that day. In the same choice, there is no doubt that the vanguard army of the life-saving benefactor is more attractive. Moreover, the treatment is also the standard of the Central Military Armament Division. As long as it is not a very hardcore relationship, many people did not hesitate to choose the 41st Division of the Vanguard Army. The conditions promised by the Vanguard Army alone to treat the wounded gave most of the wounded soldiers a decisive choice. And these people are exactly what the commanders of the various units have no choice but to ignore, and with the promise of the vanguard army, they will only be grateful out of the friendship of the robes.

Not only them, but the scene of the vanguard army helping to evacuate in Shimonoseki will be remembered by many people for a lifetime. Some stragglers who couldn't find the team also came over, and Meng Xiang did not refuse to come.

With the help of Huang Huamin, Hu Minghe, Li Tiexia and others, who had already joined his subordinates, the system of one division was quickly established in Jiangbei with two combat battalions and one engineer battalion of the vanguard army as the skeleton.

Meng Xiang, who heard the news, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he became a major general. Become a general too!

"Wha!" In the command center, under the cold expression of Xiaohua's beautiful avatar, Meng Xiang couldn't help but be overjoyed for a while.

Just when Meng Xiang was triumphant, a piece of news was like a basin of cold water pouring on his head, which immediately made him fall into a stupor.

In order to retaliate, the embarrassed devils rushed more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians like sheep from elsewhere on the 18th, and rushed to the vicinity of the Shimonoseki wharf as if demonstrating, and slaughtered all of them in one day in full view of the officers and soldiers of the defense on the opposite side.

After Meng Xiang heard this, he was silent for a long time.

Is this the usual surname of history?

No one can tell. More than 50,000 people were saved here, and more than 50,000 people died there, but the people who died were different.

Meng Xiang locked himself in the command center of the base and pondered for a long time. He thought a lot, and he didn't seem to think about anything, just in a daze.

It was a long day before he woke up from his thoughtless state.

"I'm going to change history!" Meng Xiang shouted vigorously in the command center, and the beautiful commander's avatar on the big screen was still looking at him with a cold expression.

"Only by relying on oneself with enough strength can you get rid of this helpless fate!" Meng Xiang, who shouted three times and hoarsely spoke, sat down slowly and thought secretly.

(After a busy night's work, I finally entered the author's area.) Is it a system problem or a problem with my machine? )
