Chapter 28 Promotion to Colonel
"First-line emergency telegrams indicate that the Japanese Second Army, Ninth Army, the Navy's Third Fleet, and three aviation divisions have assembled in Hefei and are preparing to march to Wuhan."
"Urgent telegram, the Japanese Eleventh Army is advancing along the south bank of the Yangtze River with overwhelming force."
"Urgent telegram, the Japanese Botian detachment has landed on the northeastern coast of Ruichang. Our Third Army has exchanged fire with it. The war is currently in a stalemate."
"The front line is in emergency. The Japanese reinforcements, the Ninth Division, have joined the battle. Ruichang is in emergency."
"The underground party in Ruichang called. This morning, the Japanese army has broken through the national defense line and Ruichang has been lost."
······ ······ ······
A series of urgent telegrams from within the national army, latent spies of the military command and the underground party of the Eighth Route Army were transmitted from the front lines of the stalemate to Wuhan and Chongqing in the rear. The National Government's determination to defend Wuhan has been made to the entire army, and Yan'an has also instructed that in Wuhan
The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army around the theater actively assisted, actively harassing the weak points and lines of communication of the Japanese army, and contributing to the defense of Wuhan. At the same time, the Soviet Volunteer Flying Team also joined the battle sequence against the Japanese army.
In Tianfeng City, the normal order in the city has not caused any major disturbances. Stores are opened when they should be opened and guarded when they should be on duty. A faint smell of gunpowder and gunpowder smoke can be smelled faintly in the air. This is the unique smell of war. This smell
The smell made Song Yuanming's blood boil. However, his head was a little confused now. According to later historical records, the Wuhan Defense War took place from July to September, but now it is not even May, and the war is already so fierce. What is this?
What happened? Is the historical data wrong? Suddenly, a very scary idea appeared in his mind - the butterfly effect!!!
I am a time traveler, and I know everything that has happened and will happen in this era. So - every inadvertent move I make is very likely to change history!!! If this is true, then I have done something good.
Or did you do something wrong?
"Woo————" The cadence of the air raid siren sounded in the city, and the streets instantly became panicked. People ran to the nearest air raid shelter. Song Yuanming was awakened by the siren, and his nerves became tense. This was the closest place.
The war zone is only more than 200 kilometers away, and the Japs' bombers are completely within reach. In his previous life, he had evaluated the armament capabilities of the Japanese invaders. In addition to the extremely backward army, the Japs' navy and air force were world leaders.
Especially the navy, which ranks third in the world after the United Kingdom and the United States. I have killed so many Japanese soldiers, so it would be a great injustice to have this damn bomber be reimbursed instead of being killed by the little Japanese bullets.
Song Yuanming quickly ducked under a stone archway and looked into the air warily. This place happened to be a blind spot in his sight, and he hoped that the Japanese pilots would not bomb the deserted street indiscriminately.
"Woo--" The dull roar of heavy-duty propeller aircraft engines passed overhead, and three Soviet-made heavy bombers formed a triangular formation and passed over the top of Tianfeng City, flying towards the distant war zone.
"Fuck you, uncle -" Song Yuanming's face turned green when he saw this scene, and he yelled at the air defense alarm, "It's okay to set off a false alarm, it scared me into a cold sweat." Fortunately, there was no danger, and he volunteered to assist in the Soviet Union.
After the plane of the Chinese Air Force flew over, the street returned to its previous busy scene.
"Boss, how do you sell these pear candy?" Song Yuanming was startled by the air raid siren, and wanted to eat something to calm down.
"Commander, you can take whatever you want, I don't want any money." The middle-aged man selling pear candy saw Song Yuanming wearing a military uniform, so he didn't dare to accept money.
"As I said, you have to give money when you buy things. If you don't give money, you can come to me in the military camp and tell me Song Yuanming's name." Song Yuanming frowned, took out a big ocean and threw it to the boss, "No need to look for it."
Then he took a piece of pear candy from the straw pile and chewed it.
"Oh, thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The man thanked him repeatedly.
"Old Song! Get in the car quickly, that Qiu Mingyi is here to find you." Xie Yunhan's voice came from behind, and with a "squeak", the Willys Jeep stopped beside him. Song Yuanming ate up all the pear candy in two or two mouthfuls.
: "What? Take the air-tight one from Lai Ganma?" (Then why is Qiu Mingyi here again)
"I guess I have a mission, please come with me quickly." It was hard for Xie Yunhan to understand this.
At the headquarters of the 41st Division, this division has now entered the first level of combat readiness. With just one order, it can rush to the battlefield and start a desperate fight with the Japanese invaders. Although the division commander Niu Han is a bit of a philistine, but when he fights against the Japanese, then
But there was no ambiguity at all, which made Song Yuanming look at him with admiration.
"Song Yuanming, you are finally here." Still in the conference room, Qiu Mingyi was still sitting in the same position as last time.
"Chief Qiu, we are here. If you have any orders, just give them directly." Song Yuanming was also unambiguous.
"Well, you might as well just do it." Qiu Mingyi nodded, "Chairman Chiang ordered that a unit led by Song Yuanming fight bravely and courageously against the enemy, setting an example for the entire army. The Japanese invaders are still determined to destroy China, and they are trying to
Fighting decisively with our main force in Wuhan and eating up China's national defense strength in one bite is a wolf's ambition and wishful thinking. Now the government's policy of defending against the enemy has been set. It is to defend Wuhan instead of fighting in Wuhan. I hope that all ministries will unite sincerely and fulfill their mission. Song, Yuan and Ming were now promoted to the rank of colonel.
All subordinates will be promoted to one rank, and weapons and equipment will be replenished as a priority. I hope your troops can deal a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders on the battlefield and boost the morale of China in the war of resistance." Qiu Mingyi handed the telegram and a Zhongzheng sword to Song Yuanming.
Song Yuanming was no stranger to the Zhongzheng Sword. His grandfather had experienced the Liberation War and had a captured Zhongzheng Sword in his home, but he had forgotten the name of the owner of the sword. His grandfather told him that the Zhongzheng Sword
Chiang Kai-shek personally ordered it to be cast. At first, it was only awarded to those Kuomintang officers who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and the Central Army Military Academy and called him principal. Later, during the War of Liberation, in order to win over people's hearts, he began to give it to some generals who held heavy troops.
Send them a righteous sword and encourage them to fight bravely.
After receiving the Zhongzheng Sword, Song Yuanming pondered for a while: "Mr. Qiu, where are our army and the Japanese army now?" Qiu Mingyi was not wearing a military uniform, so Song Yuanming directly called him Mr. Qiu.
"Here." Qiu Mingyi pointed to a direction on the map. "After the fall of Ruichang, our army quickly assembled its forces and built a defense line. Now it is in a stalemate with the Japanese army on the Daye front line. Both sides have suffered damage. In addition, the Japanese army is currently in a stalemate.
They pounced in the direction of De'an, and General Xue Yue led his troops to intercept them."
"Okay. I understand." Song Yuanming nodded, "I will go back immediately to prepare, gather the team members, and organize the equipment."
"If you need to replenish supplies, feel free to tell me," Qiu Mingyi said. Song Yuanming nodded gratefully and ran to the station. Xie Yunhan couldn't figure out why he was so excited, so he followed him to the station.
It was such a close call. Song Yuanming ran back to the station in one breath, patting his chest and gasping for air. History will have a slight deviation due to the butterfly effect caused by himself, but the overall direction is still correct, it's okay, okay. As long as he doesn't do it
If something extraordinary happens, such as killing Emperor Hirohito or Neji Okamura with one shot, history should continue to develop on a normal track. The most important thing is - I can finally experience the first great victory of the Chinese army in person.
The Great Victory of Pingxingguan is in Shanxi, and you can't go there by yourself. Now General Xue Yue leads his troops to De'an to intercept the Japanese army. If history has not been changed, then in a few days, it will be famous both at home and abroad - the Great Victory of Wanjialing!!!
"Old Song, why are you running so fast? Are there any pretty girls in the base?" Xie Yunhan complained angrily.
"Lao Xie, inform the brothers to assemble and collect their own equipment and ammunition. We are going to prepare to go hunting in the mountains." Song Yuanming's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.
"Understood." Xie Yunhan chuckled and said. The mountains and jungles are the best stage for snipers to gallop, Song Yuanming thought to himself. But what he didn't know was that his old rival Masao Sakata was also involved in this game.
