Chapter 20 Newspapers become famous, and the whole country is excited

The heads were piled neatly together, and the one at the top was the ugly face of Lieutenant Colonel Yamashita.

Jiang Dong walked to the tomb without a monument, took out three cigarettes, lit them and placed them neatly on the ground. Behind him, hundreds of brothers who had returned from the bloody battle were watching solemnly.

"Old squad leader, and the dead brothers, have you seen it? These are all the heads of little devils. Today we use the heads of these little devils to commemorate you. I hope you can walk steadily and feel at ease on the road to hell. You

Take the first step, and we living brothers will kill more Japs for you. If I die one day, I will lead you to kill Japs in the underworld!"

Jiang Dong turned around and looked at every brother who had returned from the bloody battle. They still believed in him as always.

He cleared his throat and said to the brothers:

"Brothers, does it feel good to kill little devils?"

"Cool!"

The soldiers' answers were neat and powerful.

"Today, we use our actions to show the invaders who dare to invade us: As long as Chinese men do not die, they will never think of misbehaving on our land. Let the little Japanese devils know that if we kill one of our Chinese soldiers and civilians, we will

We must pay for it with the lives of two, three, ten, or twenty little devils. We must let them know that Chinese people must avenge their enemies and pay with blood!"

"eye for eye!"

"eye for eye!"



The brothers repeated these four words over and over again until their throats became hoarse.

"We have killed so many little devils. Given the vengeful character of this nation, they will definitely retaliate even more crazily. Brothers, are you afraid of the little devils' revenge?"

"Don't be afraid!"

"Don't be afraid!"



"Okay, as long as the little devil dares to come, I will lead my brothers to kill him!"

After the memorial ceremony, the brothers returned to their respective fighting positions.

Jiang Dong discovered that some brothers had smiles on their faces. The battlefield was no longer filled with sadness, but instead felt a little relaxed.

He knew that the brothers had completely changed their mentality at this moment, and truly put life and death aside.

Everyone felt that they had made a profit by killing twice as many Japs as themselves. If the Japs attacked again, they would not spare their own flesh and blood and vowed to die together with the enemy.

Jiang Dong knew that if these brothers could survive, they would be good seedlings that could equal one to ten to a hundred, but everything would not go as he wished, and war would always have to pay a price.

Jiangdong called Xiaodouzi to the command post and thrust the captured lieutenant colonel, major sergeant and captain's saber into his hands.

He said to the puzzled Xiaodouzi:

"Go to the division headquarters, give these three knives to Commander Wang, and tell him the battles of the past few days."

Xiaodouzi didn’t understand,

"Batalion Commander, why are you doing this?"

"There's no reason, just do what I tell you!"

Xiaodouzi never expressed doubts about Jiangdong's words, so he mounted his horse and quickly went to the division headquarters.

Jiang Dong has his own purpose in doing this, but whether he can achieve it depends on God's will.

...

When Kimura led a brigade of young Japanese soldiers back to the camp of the Yamashita brigade, the sight before them made all the young Japanese soldiers stay there. Some of the recruits who had just been transferred from the mainland even vomited.

The entire camp had become a scorched earth, the food and baggage had been burned to the ground, and the plain was littered with headless corpses of the Japanese.

Lieutenant Colonel Kimura had participated in the war against China in Northeast China and North China, and was considered an extremely experienced veteran, but the bloody scene before him still made him feel deeply frightened.

What kind of army can be so cruel and decisive, and what kind of ruthless person their commander is.

These little devils usually only bully innocent people, but once they meet a strong person, their cowardly and inferior nature will be exposed.

Kimura asked his men to collect the headless corpses and chose another place to camp.

He had fully understood the story of the battle from the mouths of the defeated soldiers, and admired the national army commander's gamble.

He would no longer resort to any opportunistic methods and decided on a frontal attack based on position against position, bayonet against bayonet.

Kimura believed that the existence of such a bloody Chinese army would have a negative impact on the imperial army's offensive.

On the first day after arriving, he did not take any provocative or offensive actions, but instead had people build complete defensive positions around the camp.

The hundreds of headless corpses dealt a heavy blow to his soul, and Kimura was afraid that he would become one of them.

..

Xiaodouzi sent the sabers to the division headquarters. Division Commander Wang Dongyuan was very excited when he saw the three weighty sabers.

Before Xiaodouzi could say anything, he asked about the entire battle in detail.

When he heard that the Japanese troops were massacring Chinese refugees in front of their positions, he couldn't help but utter a few foul words.

Of course, he also disagreed with Jiang Dong's order to cut off the little Japanese's head.

Wang Dongyuan calculated carefully in his mind that Jiangdong Battalion's defense for more than ten days had crippled a large group of Japs with nearly a thousand people. He felt that such a big victory must be known to the commander-in-chief, and he had this lieutenant in his hand.

He didn't feel at ease holding the saber.

So he ordered Xiaodouzi to wait at the division headquarters, and he rushed to the group army headquarters with a few guards.

Division commander Wang Dongyuan met Xue Yue, commander of the 19th Group Army, at the headquarters. He solemnly handed three sabers to the commander and told him about the battlefield experience of Jiangdong Camp.

Xue Yue, a future famous anti-Japanese general, listened very carefully and asked for details from time to time.

He carefully inspected the saber several times, confirmed again and again that what Wang Yingyuan said was true, and then said:

"Come on, you and I will go find the Commander-in-Chief. He should make the decision on such a major matter that can boost morale, boost the morale of the military, and boost the morale of the people."

After saying that, he took Wang Dongyuan resolutely to find Commander Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng looked at the three sabers placed in front of him and listened to the whole story.

As a senior general of the party-state, he quickly grasped the key points of the whole matter:

First, one battalion was able to kill an enemy squadron, which was unique in the entire Songhu battlefield, and with three Japanese command knives as evidence, no one could fault it.

The second is out of the original intention of retaliating for the massacre of citizens in front of the Japanese army. It is a concrete manifestation of the president's advocacy of the unity of the country's military and civilians to resist the enemy.

Thirdly, this incident happened to our left-wing army, which can not only improve the morale of the entire Songhu battlefield, but also bring great glory to our own face, which is a good thing for ourselves and the country.

After figuring out the reason, Chen Cheng reported the incident to the principal in detail.

The principal’s reply came quickly:

"The war of resistance against the country is beneficial, so we should focus on promoting it!"

With the principal's approval, Chen Cheng ordered the adjutant to call in all the reporters from the 3rd theater.

Under the spotlight of reporters, Commander Chen personally displayed the captured military flags and sabers, and enthusiastically told the reporters that the theory of Japanese subjugation to China in March was all delusion.

Therefore, with the promotion of the entire National Government, Jiangdong Camp became another nationally famous battalion-level unit after Baoshan Camp.

In the streets, teahouses and shops, enthusiastic citizens are discussing Jiangdongying, which is thousands of miles away.

Denounce the inhumane massacre of the little devils, and praise the Jiangdong camp for its efforts in defending the territory and killing the enemy!

Jiang Dong and his more than 200 remnant soldiers did not know that they had become famous throughout the country, and they were still defending the Japs on the battlefield.

Xiaodouzi didn't come back until the next day. Not only did he bring back a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but he also brought back a newspaper.

Jiang Dong only smiled bitterly after seeing this. No one knew whether this was something he had expected.

The fact that it was published in the newspaper caused an uproar in the camp. The brothers surrounded Li Xuelin and asked him to read the information in the newspaper over and over again.

The most frequently asked question by brothers is:

Can I read this newspaper in my hometown?
