Chapter 368 Renamed the Japanese Slaughtering Army
Cui Hao was the captain of Jiangdong's baggage team. In order to transport the equipment of the two divisions to the front line, he made great efforts.
In addition to the 2,300 soldiers in the baggage corps itself, he also mobilized 2,500 civilians with the cooperation of the Political Department and the Logistics Department. He also captured another 4,000 recruits who had completed their recruit training and were rushing to the front to replenish the battle losses of the regiments.
Strong man.
With the cooperation of so many forces, he finally delivered the equipment within the time limit set by Jiangdong.
Therefore, on the 16th, the First Brigade and the three newly formed regiments began to secretly change their equipment.
Jiangdong organized his troops into three divisions during wartime, each division had three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment.
Of course, there are other directly affiliated units such as reconnaissance battalions and anti-tank battalions.
The war was imminent, and there was no time to make detailed arrangements, so we had to supplement the original brigade-level units with equipment and soldiers.
Commander Zhang Shengqing of the 1st Division, Commander Li Zhaoying of the 2nd Division, and Commander Feng Jinzhang of the 3rd Division.
The Military Commission did not give an establishment plan, so Jiangdong had no choice but to name the army "Japanese Massacre Army"!
The Japanese massacre army temporarily had three divisions with 60,000 soldiers.
The detailed preparation and procedures will be determined after the battle is over and the showdown with the Chairman.
"Slaughter the Japanese Army..."
"Slaughter the Japanese Army..."
………
When Jiangdong announced the new unit designation, tens of thousands of soldiers were amazed.
The three words "To Kill the Japanese Army" express Jiangdong's will and also indicate the future combat style and purpose of this army.
………
The headquarters of the First Division of the Japanese Massacre Army was temporarily located in Xiangyuan County.
On the evening of the 16th, after the troops were completely redressed, First Division Commander Zhang Shengqing and Deputy Division Commander Jia Dalin sat across from each other under the faint kerosene lamp.
This time the unit was renamed and a new designation was issued, but Jiangdong did not convene a meeting with all officers.
Different from the joy of the soldiers, the faces of the senior officers showed thoughtful expressions.
"It seems that the teacher is preparing for a showdown with Lao Jiang."
Zhang Shengqing looked at the glowing wick of the kerosene lamp. After he finished speaking, he realized that it seemed inappropriate to call Jiangdong a division commander, but he couldn't call him an army commander. He smiled bitterly.
The "Japanese Massacre Army" is obviously the name of the unit rather than the number. It is naturally inappropriate to call Jiangdong the commander of the army.
Jia Dalin came up from the grassroots army and has very weak political thinking.
Although he also noticed that something was wrong, he didn't think that deeply.
He frowned slightly,
"I will do whatever the division commander says, even if the other party is the chairman of the committee. I'm just worried about whether this matter will affect the upcoming battle."
Zhang Shengqing smiled bitterly again. Jia Dalin's idea was indeed the most correct. They were Jiang Dong's subordinates from the beginning and did not choose sides at all.
"Even if the guy from Chongqing is dissatisfied, he will wait until the battle is over if he wants to have an attack. I think there won't be any problems."
Unknowingly, Zhang Shengqing's name for that person had changed.
"That's good!" Jia Dalin clapped his hands,
"We just have to fight the good fight.
Since the teacher has done this, he must have already thought of a countermeasure, and there is no point in us just sitting there like this."
After Jia Dalin finished speaking, he walked out of the house. He wanted to go back to sleep and regain enough energy to cope with the new day's battle.
Zhang Shengqing had been staring at the wick, and the dancing flames reflected his chiseled face and deep eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, he put out the kerosene lamp and murmured to himself in the darkness:
"Slaughter the Japanese Army...
It's a little risky, but it's worth it!
There will be too many opportunities in the future, and the Japanese massacre army should be able to go very far..."
.
.
The same scene also occurred at the division headquarters of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions.
Likewise,
Jiangdong's core military officers did not express their opinions in the end.
It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders.
That's enough.
………
………
News of the annihilation of two Japanese divisions is spreading to the entire country and the entire world at an extremely high speed.
While the officers of the Japanese massacre were worried, the people in southern Shanxi and the entire rear area were excited.
Everyone is celebrating this unprecedented victory, and everyone is shouting the names of Jiangdong and the only division.
The hope of victory was just a spark in the beginning, but now the spark has turned into a torch. With the footsteps of Jiangdong and the heroic troops, the torch becomes bigger and bigger, with the potential to start a prairie fire.
During the two-day battle, Jiangdong's troops sacrificed a total of 3,000 people. The names of all 3,000 martyrs were published in newspapers.
While people were celebrating the victory, nearly 3,000 families were immersed in grief.
A child calls for father, a mother calls for son, a wife calls for husband...
War always kills people.
The flowers of victory can bloom only when they are watered with blood.
But sacrifice cannot stop progress, and pain is not a shackles in life.
For the liberation of the nation, and for the sake of freedom, equality, stability and peace, many families bid farewell to the athletes who set off in tears and rushed forward to follow up.
………
………
The negotiators from Germany and the Soviet Union felt the warm emotions of the Chinese people.
They also saw families whose loved ones had died sending a loved one to war again.
Jiangdong was able to annihilate nearly 20,000 Japanese troops in a short period of time, which shocked the negotiators.
The people in Jincheng moved them and explained to them.
Finally, Representative Su De had the same opinion in his mind:
"The Chinese people will surely win, and the Japanese will surely fail!"
After coming to this view, the representatives unanimously accelerated the progress of the negotiations.
Chapter completed!
