Chapter 269 Post-war affairs

In the command center of Malin City of the 104th Division, Song Siyi, injured Jiang Chenggui, Fang Zilin and other officers were listening to reports from Guo Tianming's guards to the Iron Blood Brigade position.

"I've been lying there for a long time, and later I haven't seen anyone move. Since the last brother fired the grenade, there has been no movement on the position!"

Guo Tianming listened next to him, feeling a little sad, and asked, "Did you see their brigade commander?"

The guard warrior shook his head and said, "No, I'm a little far away, and I can't see clearly what those brothers who have already died look like."

Song Siyi frowned. After listening to the report of the guards, he waved to him and signaled the guards to withdraw. Then he asked Guo Tianming and said, "Have all the people arranged? If the wounded need it, they will be sent to the Changsha War Zone Hospital for treatment. We must find a way to save their lives. No matter where these people suddenly appeared, they are all benefactors of our 104th Division!"

Jiang Chenggui, Fang Zilin and other officers nodded in agreement. Guo Tianming asked and answered: "They have been placed. Among the more than a dozen wounded soldiers in the division, two of them are their deputy brigade commanders and chief of staff, and their injuries are relatively serious. I suggest sending them to the theater hospital for treatment."

Song Siyi nodded and said, "What else do you want to say? Send someone to the theater hospital immediately. I will call the theater hospital in person and ask them to rescue these two people with all their strength."

"Okay, Master, what should I do if those other people are there? There are more than a dozen women among them." Guo Tianming asked.

Song Siyi thought about it and said, "First find a place to settle down. Their identities have not been clarified yet. I have to report to the military captain. As for how to arrange it in the future, let's see what the military captain says first!"

In this way, Duan Houcai, Yun Hongpan and others were placed in a small courtyard in Malin City by Guo Tianming, and Li Tieshu, Liu Wenxue and three seriously injured were all sent to the theater hospital in Changsha by Guo Tianming. Guo Tianming did not immediately tell Duan Houcai that he had received Song Siyi's order and would tell Duan Houcai and the others about the news after they were found out.

Not long after, the 104th Division received an order that the entire 37th Army would retreat to Xiangyin for rest. Duan Houcai and Yun Hongpan and others also retreated to Xiangyin with the 104th Division. After arriving in Xiangyin, they were still found a yard by Guo Mingtian to resettle. During this period, Song Siyi and others seemed to have forgotten them. Except for Guo Tianming, the staff officer, who came to visit from time to time, Duan Houcai and the others had never seen any other officers of the 104th Division.

In Xiangyin City, at the post-war summary meeting of officers above the 37th Army Corps, Commander Chen Pei praised the 104th Division and said, "In this battle, Commander Song's 104th Division made an indelible contribution. Although we were in a passive state in the early stage, the main reason was that our combat plan in the theater was cracked by the Japanese. This time, our army was able to break out of the Japanese encirclement, relying on the brothers of Commander Song's 104th Division to open a gap from the 40th Division, so that our army could avoid the possibility of being encircled and annihilated. I have already asked the commander of the theater, Commander Song and the brothers of the 104th Division."

After Chen Pei finished speaking, he looked at the officers of the 104th Division, including Song Siyi, Jiang Chenggui, Fang Zilin, etc., and the people in this venue looked at them. However, Song Siyi and the people of the 104th Division knew in their hearts that if there was no sudden appearance of the Iron Blood Brigade, it would not be so easy for them to break through.

When Song Siyi saw Chen Pei looking at him, he stood up and saluted Chen Pei and said, "Military, colleagues! In fact, the first meritorious service should be based on my 10th Division."

"oh!"

"Teacher Song is so modest!"

...

When Song Siyi said the words immediately aroused heated discussions among the public. Some people also believed that this was Song Siyi's contribution to favor.

Chen Pei raised his hand to stop everyone's discussion and asked in confusion: "Sir Song's words seem to have other intentions? Let's listen to the words of Commander Song. Commander Song, I don't know what you mean?"

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on the death of You and the 104th Division. Song Siyi looked at the officers of the 104th Division beside him, as if he was telling them again that he wanted to tell the truth, and said to Chen Pei: "Military Secretariat, during this breakout battle, our division's 658th Regiment and 659th Regiment used the strength of the Japanese 236th Regiment, but when both regiments were lost, they were unable to break through the Japanese's defense line..."

"Oh! This time I broke through, did I hear that the 659th Regiment of Commander Jiang's first breakthrough to break through the Japanese defense line?" Chen Pei couldn't help but interrupt Song Siyi and said.

Song Siyi looked at Jiang Chenggui, and saw Jiang Chenggui slightly forehead, and continued: "What the throne said is right. It was indeed the 659th Regiment of the Commander Jiang's first to break through the Japanese defense line. However, he did get a sudden armed force, and raid the Japanese artillery position and the command center of the 236th Regiment behind the 236th Regiment, and launched an attack on the 236th Regiment from behind the 236th Regiment, the 659th Regiment first broke through the Japanese defense line."

"The sudden emergence of troops?"

"Have you heard of reinforcements coming?"

"Whose team?"

"What armed forces?"

...

Song Siyi's words surprised everyone sitting again and asked. Song Siyi also asked when he saw Chen Pei, "What did it do?"

Song Siyi continued: "Military, we are not very clear about the nature of this armed force. However, according to the situation we have now, the ministry should be a spontaneous civilian anti-Japanese armed force. The ministry personnel call themselves the Iron Blood Anti-Japanese Pioneer Brigade. Its development is in southern Henan. At its peak, the ministry should have thousands of people, with one or two regiments under its jurisdiction, as well as the reconnaissance battalion, guard battalion, baggage battalion and a special service brigade. In addition, the two regiments of their two regiments

There is also an nickname, the first regiment is called the Independent Regiment and the second regiment is called the Special Regiment. From what we know, we know that the unit has moved from southern Henan to northern Anhui and northern Jiangxi, and originally intended to enter the southern Jiangxi and western Jiangsu areas to carry out anti-Japanese war. However, in northern Anhui, after being discovered by the Japanese, its brigade commander chose to turn around and crossed the Dabie Mountains, crossed the Yangtze River all the way to appear behind the Japanese 236th Regiment, and took action at critical moments to give our division favorable support."

"With such a huge armed force and such a rigorous organization, is this brigade commander a general from that faction?" Chen Pei said in surprise after hearing Song Siyi's introduction, and then asked: "Where is the brigade commander now?"

When Song Siyi and Jiang Chenggui and other officers of the 104th Division were dim when they heard Chen Pei's inquiry, Song Siyi said with pain: "When the troops broke through, in order to provide us with the opportunity to evacuate, they used their own strength to fight the Japanese 235th Regiment and were wiped out. Now there are only a dozen women, a man, and a dozen wounded soldiers evacuated under the protection of our troops."

"completely annihilated!"

"The 235th Japanese Regiment they blocked!"

"And women!"

...

This time, Song Siyi's words shocked everyone present.

After hearing this, Chen Pei was also surprised. Unexpectedly, the successful breakthrough of the 37th Army was completed with the help of a Iron Blood Brigade. After their expression was raised, Chen Pei continued to ask: "Secretary Song, where are the people they retreated now? Is that only man their brigade commander?"

Song Siyi shook his head and said, "No! The brigade commander of the unit finally led the remaining more than 100 people to sacrifice on the position. However, one of their deputy brigade commanders and chief of staff was rescued due to serious injuries. I arranged for people to send them to the theater hospital for treatment. It is not clear whether they survived now."

Chen Pei didn't say anything. After hearing Song Siyi's words, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly said firmly: "Okay! No matter what nature this armed force is, there is an indisputable fact that they made sacrifices for us to break through. I will report this matter to the War Zone Command, and at the same time ask the War Zone Command to commend them and try their best to save them. As for the women and the man left behind before they were wiped out, they will wait for the instructions of the War Zone Command to be placed!"

Chief Xue from the Changsha War Zone Command received a telegram from Chen Pei of the 37th Army. He learned that an unknown armed force gave the 37th Army aid to break through, and requested to try his best to rescue the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff of the department. Chief Xue read the telegram and said strangely to Chief of Staff Wu: "This telegram from Chen Pei is interesting! An unknown armed force has reinforced them. It seems that he is still at the brigade level. The deputy brigade commander and chief of staff are both being treated in the theater hospital. The situation of Chen Pei does not explain clearly what is going on. Chief of Staff, what do you think?"

Chief of Staff Wu came to the telegram from Chief Xue, and after looking at it, he said, "I can't understand what Chen Pei means, either? Otherwise, I will reply to a telegram and let him explain the matter clearly!"

Chief Xue shook his head and said, "Although Chen Pei did not explain it clearly, I think it was the other forces who gave them help when breaking through, so he sent such a telegram." As he said, he paused for a moment and ordered, "In this way, you go and arrange it. In the afternoon, we two go to the theater hospital to see the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff on Chen Pei's telegram!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now!" After saying that, Chief of Staff Wu turned around and walked out of the command center.
