"What, hurry up, show me!" Han Fuju, who had been waiting for news in the office, suddenly brightened his eyes. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the message and read it word for word! "Ah! Great, our crisis in Shandong has been temporarily lifted.
, these arrogant and cruel little devils have finally made a big mistake in our Shandong territory! Humph, our Shandong soldiers are not easy to bully! Haha!"
After reading the telegram, Boss Han was almost crazy with joy. After this battle, the threat in Shandong was temporarily lifted. Although Dezhou and Ling County fell into the hands of the Japanese, the Japanese will definitely not continue to attack south in the short term! This
The 81st Division, Jiaodong Independent Brigade and 74th Division fought fiercely with the Japanese army for nearly half a month. Their own casualties reached 15,000, but they also severely damaged the Japanese army and annihilated more than 23,000 people!
The battle loss ratio of 1:1.5 is definitely not a loss for China with a huge population base. This record is definitely an extremely gorgeous and beautiful victory nationwide! This not only leaves Nanjing speechless.
, it can more appease the people of Shandong who have high anti-Japanese sentiments, and also deter the Japanese from continuing to invade the hinterland of Shandong!
"Call back the Jiaodong Independent Brigade immediately and agree to their request! Let them return to the station immediately to rest. It will be up to them to defend Shandong against the Japanese invasion in the future!" After the excitement, Han Fuju immediately agreed to Jiang Qiang's request, and then became high-spirited.
He waved his big hand and said: "Immediately send this good news to the Nanjing authorities, and inform newspapers all over the province and even the country, so that everyone can know the bloody character and style of our Shandong soldiers!" "Okay, okay! Please invite Han Province
Don’t worry, sir, we will definitely handle it properly!”
Zhang Shaotang nodded happily. Today's battle was indeed hearty and refreshing. It not only rescued the Jiaodong Independent Brigade and the 243rd Brigade, but also severely damaged the Japanese army and temporarily relieved the military pressure on Jinan Prefecture! "Commissioner, Director Chen
and Han Fuju both sent telegrams! The Third Army severely damaged the Japanese army in Dexian and Lingxian areas, annihilating more than 23,000 enemies in total, and destroying more than 50 Japanese tanks and tanks, and 13 aircraft!"
"What? The Jiaodong Independent Brigade not only got out of trouble, but also created an impressive record?" At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the chairman also received the good news! "Well done, the little devil really stole the chicken and lost the rice this time.
, It’s really bad retribution! How could the Jiaodong Independent Brigade be eaten so easily? Haha!” After reading the telegram, the Chairman suddenly smiled in a good mood. The battlefield in Guangdong has made him very anxious these days, and today finally
There is some good news that makes people feel happy! After a pause, the Chairman sighed with emotion: "Hey, there are still too few sharp-edged elite troops like the Jiaodong Independent Brigade. If there are 200,000 such elite troops, we
Now you don’t have to be beaten passively like this!
Yu Nong, call Chen Bui immediately and tell him to reward Jiang Qiang with the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun, the rank of lieutenant general, and the title of Tiger and Guard Army for his troops!" "Ah? Isn't a reward like the commission too heavy?"
Dai Li's expression was slightly stagnant. Jiang Qiang had just been promoted to major general for a month or two, and now he was promoted to lieutenant general. He was also awarded a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, which is a high-level medal after the Guoguang Medal! This guy is here
The record in Northern Hebei is also quite astonishing. I don’t know how many lieutenant generals died at the hands of Jiang Qiang. But the Chairman thought Jiang Qiang in Tianjin and Jiang Qiang in Jiaodong Peninsula were not the same person, and Dai Li didn’t say anything?
The title of Huben Army is also a top honor. This is the reward that all generals dream of! The chairman chuckled and said: "These are just false names, and they are not considered a big reward at all for the Jiaodong Independent Brigade."
! If Jiang Qiang can be loyal to the party and the state, will the rewards only be these false names? Let Chen Bui operate the remaining space!" Instantly understanding the deeper meaning, Dai Li nodded quickly and said: "Commission, I understand!"
The chairman then said in a deep voice: "This message will be notified nationwide and distributed to all troops in the theater, so that everyone can see that the Japanese devils are not so terrible, and also let the great powers see the powerful combat capabilities of our Chinese army."
Strength!" "Miss Yu, our army has a great victory! Our army has a great victory! Not only did the Brigade and the others break through the siege, they also wiped out an independent mixed brigade of the Japanese! It's safe, haha!" "Haha, great! Finally, we can see through the clouds and fog.
Tianri! Yu Caifeng, please report this good news to newspapers and radio stations immediately, so that all the soldiers and civilians in Qixia County and Zhaoyuan County can hear the good news as soon as possible!"
The Zhaoyuan Intelligence Office also received good news soon. Yu Yanluo burst into tears instantly. After nearly half a month of suffering, he finally received the news of victory. He no longer had to worry! At the same time, various media channels also
We are about to get this exciting news. All the big and small newspapers across the country are frantically printing copies overnight, eager to immediately deliver this exciting news to every corner!
After listening to the tip from the intelligence department, Jiang Qiang was immediately elated. This bloody battle with the Independent Brigade could be said to be a desperate attempt to survive! Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qiang quickly checked the supplies sent from Shanghai, and surprisingly found that tigers had been shipped from Shanghai.
There are nearly a hundred tanks: "Well, that's pretty good! When we get back, the establishment and training of the tank force can be officially put on the agenda!"
It is time to organize tank troops at this time. The Jiaodong Peninsula cannot be compared with Yunwu Mountain in Tianjin. At the very least, the battle line is longer, and there are more people here. In case Governor Han evacuates from Jinan, here
It is the rear area and the life channel for the people of Shandong.
As the army grows and its reputation skyrockets, it will definitely face more arduous and large-scale wars in the future. The Japanese army will definitely further strengthen the research and development of tanks and combat vehicles, so Jiang Qiang must seize the time to build a tank and armored force! After all, Jiang Qiang cannot
Maybe they have always been passively defensive. As their strength grows, they will definitely have to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. Naturally, they will encounter frontal field battles and critical battles. When the time comes, they can't use their flesh and blood to charge into battle!
"Chief of Staff, haha, good news, great news! The Chairman of the General Assembly hereby sends a commendation telegram and orders me to tell the Chief of Staff in person!" Just when Jiang Qiang thought about it, Chen Bulei came to visit with a cheerful face.
, as soon as he saw Jiang Qiang, he stretched out his hands to congratulate him warmly! "Haha, Director Chen, we are all happy! Thank you very much, Chairman, for your respect and reward. Our Jiaodong Independent Brigade will definitely guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and defend our hometown."
Huang He and the Japs fight to the bitter end!"
Jiang Qiang laughed loudly. He didn't need Chen Brai to talk away, he could understand that this was the Nanjing government extending an olive branch to him again, but he couldn't accept it, so he had to deal with it casually. "General Jiang, tell the truth.
I really can't bear to be separated from Chief of Staff Jiang. When I'm with you, I always feel an inexplicable power and belief that makes people excited and excited!
It’s just that there’s no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. I have to return to Nanjing as soon as possible to meet my mission, and we’ll see you there later! I’m really looking forward to having the opportunity to fight alongside General Jiang again in the future!” After a lot of futile heart-to-heart talks, Chen Brai finally finally
I could only give up and wave goodbye to Jiang Qiang with great affection!
"Have a safe journey, Director Chen. Please extend my highest respect and gratitude to the Chairman!" Jiang Qiang nodded lightly. As the saying goes, people who are different do not seek each other's will, so he could only say this and silently wish him the best.
Chen Bulei should not follow the old path of the original history and end up committing suicide! In the original history, from entering politics to committing suicide in November 1948, Chen Bulei had been ups and downs in politics for more than 20 years, during which he experienced the first civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Anti-Japanese War and
The first two years of the second civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.
More than 20 years of overloaded work destroyed Chen Bulei's physical and mental health. More importantly, after the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang was in a political decline compared with the Communist Party. Under the mighty historical trend, Chen Bulei was powerless.
, the energy and brain power can no longer serve the chairman. What makes Chen Bulei even more sad and embarrassed is that there are left-leaning elements in the family. Chen Bulei is deeply influenced by Confucianism and attaches great importance to the harmony and stability of the family, but his family also
Due to the rapid changes in politics, there are signs of discord and even division, which makes it difficult for Chen Bulei to continue to follow the Chairman and resolutely fight against the Reds to the end. Chen Bulei has no experience of studying abroad and his family is relatively poor, which makes it impossible for him to go abroad or
Hong Kong and other places, thus leaving Chen Brai with no choice but to commit suicide!
"What? The Chairman of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China awarded Chief of Staff Jiang the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun, the rank of Lieutenant General, and the title of Tiger and Ben Army? Damn it, this is just naked alienation and poaching!" There is no airtight wall in the world, and it didn't take long before Han Fuju
After hearing the Chairman's commendation to Jiang Qiang, he was immediately furious. Even a fool could see that the Chairman was trying his best to win over Jiang Qiang!
Zhang Shaotang chuckled and said: "Governor Han, this is not surprising. Who wouldn't like a general like Jiang Qiang who can fight tough battles and win them? It's just that the Chairman underestimated the ambition and loyalty of Jiang Qiang and those Shanghainese people. In the end,
You can only draw water from a bamboo basket but in vain!" "Now that the chairman of the committee has taken action, I can't be too petty!"
Driven by this wave of rhythm, Boss Han waved his hand and said proudly: "Immediately order to upgrade the independent brigade to an independent division directly under the group army, place Yantai and Haiyang County under the independent division defense area, and reward the independent division 40
Ten thousand silver dollars!" "Governor Han, will this promotion be too fast? Will it cause a backlash from other troops?" Zhang Shaotang suddenly felt uneasy, and his intuition told him that once this commendation order was issued and implemented, Jiang Qiang would probably
Directly turned into an uncontrollable peerless beast!
Jiang Qiang now only nominally controls the Jiaodong Independent Brigade, but Zhang Shaotang knows very well that the total number of troops under Jiang Qiang's command is actually more than 15,000, which is even worse than a reorganized division! If Jiang Qiang were to be sent to Jiang Qiang now
To be promoted to an independent division, according to Jiang Qiang's consistent style, it is not possible to create a military-level unit of 30,000 to 50,000 people? "Why are you still worried that Jiang Qiang will rebel?"
Han Fuju glanced sideways at Zhang Shaotang, who looked solemn, and said with a smile: "Didn't you always think highly of Jiang Qiang before and always wanted to help him grow his wings and train him into a veritable tiger general?" "Ahem!"
Zhang Shaotang coughed a few times in embarrassment, and forcefully explained: "Governor Han, I'm not worried that Jiang Qiang will rebel! I'm worried that Jiang Qiang will rebel! I'm afraid that he will be promoted from a small militia leader to a lieutenant general in a short time.
chief of staff!
Our Third Route Army has never had such a precedent. I am a little worried that other troops will be dissatisfied and it will cause unrest!" "Whoever dares to dissent should go and fight with the little devil with real swords and guns. If he can
Even if he has a one-to-one casualty ratio with the Japs like Jiang Qiang, I will still give him a promotion!" Han Fuju snorted coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "This time the Japanese Japs suffered a big loss in Shandong, and they were
It doesn’t mean that we in Shandong can sit back and relax from now on!
This kid has a very strong sense of territory, and he will never allow little Japan to encroach on his territory! Rather than letting the little Japanese invade him in the future, it is better to let Jiang Qiang and those Shanghainese have a hard time!" Even though he has more than ten people under his command.
With tens of thousands of elite soldiers, Han Fuju still had no confidence that he could defend the entire territory of Shandong. After all, Shandong was a coastal province. The Japanese navy could break through the port city at any time and send large Japanese troops into Shandong!
Han Fuju was not worried that Jiang Qiang would occupy the magpie's nest, but the two powers were in harm's way. Naturally, he would rather let Jiang Qiang occupy the land and become king than see Shandong completely fall under Japanese rule! "Chief of Staff,
Governor Han sent a commendation order!" After receiving the telegram, Liu Qiang found Jiang Qiang as soon as possible and said excitedly: "Governor Han sent a telegram to our Jiaodong Independent Brigade to expand into an independent division directly under the Third Group Army from now on.
, and added Yantai and Haiyang County military defense areas!" "Oh, today is full of happy events! Haha!"
Jiang Qiang raised his eyebrows, curled his lips in a very happy mood, and then said with a smile: "Liu Qiang, please immediately notify the commanders of each unit to come to the meeting. This good news must be shared together!" "Wow, that's great.
, we have become an independent division!" "Haha, congratulations to the chief of staff!" "Hey, following the chief of staff is so exciting! Not only can you kill the little devils, but you can also be promoted to a higher position, eat meat and drink wine!"
"Chief of Staff, when are we going home?" "Why are you so anxious? You've only been out for about ten days and you already miss your wife?"
After hearing the good news from Jiang Qiang, Huzi, Li Jinglin, Shunzi and others all roared excitedly, and everyone laughed from ear to ear! As Hengsan was promoted to an independent division, Jiang Qiang still
Chief of Staff, these die-hard followers will naturally rise with the tide and gain higher power and status. In the future, it will be no problem to find a wife and shadow son to shine on the family!
Naturally, there is no need to falsely preach "dedication and sacrifice" and "national justice" at this time. After all, there is a saying that "a soldier who does not want to be a marshal is not a good soldier"! After everyone's excitement subsided, Jiang Qiang immediately looked at him
Yishen said loudly and solemnly: "Okay, let's get down to business now! I have several tasks and orders, please listen to me!"
"Huzi, I will arrange a task for you now! See if the people in the city are willing to go to Shandong Peninsula. If anyone is willing, we can carry out appropriate organization and publicity. There is no upper limit on the number of people!" After setting the return date,
Jiang Qiang began to assign tasks to Huzi and others separately! Now two more counties have been added to the defense area. The total population in the independent brigade defense area has definitely exceeded the 1.6 million mark, but the population size and density are far from overcrowding.
The point!
With constant help from Shanghai, Jiang Qiang does not have to worry about food supply. Even if there are one million people, Jiang Qiang can afford it just by farming, so he can naturally recruit troops and bring in people! Because Jiang Qiang knows very well that in this era
, "There is strength in numbers" is not a joke. The greatest potential for war lies in the population of the jurisdiction! What's more, in these days, Zhuang Tao has received many support and condolences from the common people, and he has felt the deep friendship and kindness of the common people.
And simplicity!
Jiang Qiang really couldn't bear to see them become the souls of the Japanese or the subjugated slaves without dignity, so before returning home, he wanted to do his best to help these people stay away from the war and the fate of slavery! "Chief of Staff, please rest assured,
I know what to do!" Wen Xian knew what he meant, and having followed Jiang Qiang for almost two years, Hu Zi naturally knew Jiang Qiang's style of doing things very well, and instantly understood the deeper meaning of Jiang Qiang's move, and quickly saluted solemnly! "Yeah
!Be sure to pay attention to the scale and method!”
Jiang Qiang nodded. Even though he knew that the Lubei Plain would be completely occupied in less than three months, he could not move everyone away. After all, he only had thirteen county defense areas under his jurisdiction now! And it wouldn't take long.
Your own defense area will become a burning hot front line of the Anti-Japanese War. The population density is too high and it is not conducive to a life-and-death tug-of-war with the Japanese! Therefore, you can only recruit people who are destined to Fodu and recruit those who are conscious, smart and have a sense of crisis!
After a pause, Jiang Qiang continued: "Captain Li Jinglin, you select 200 special operations team members to escort the medical team first. The seriously injured and the remains and ashes of the fallen soldiers will be returned to Zhaoyuan County by car! As long as everything is packed properly, you will be there at noon today."
You can leave early!" Li Jinglin saluted solemnly: "Chief of Staff, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission!" "Very good!"
Jiang Qiang smiled, then turned to look at Huzi, Shunzi and Wu Kexiang said: "Inform us immediately. The first regiment, the second regiment, the third regiment and the special forces team must be ready to leave. Our department will officially start at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Set off to return to Zhaoyuan County, this time we can only walk home on our legs first!"
After more than ten days of consumption, the Jiaodong Independent Brigade now has less than 40 vehicles, so it can only leave some people first, and the others go home on foot! Even if a Zhaoyuan County convoy will come to pick them up on the way, but the transportation
The capacity can only satisfy three to four thousand people, and the other four to five thousand people have to continue walking! But it doesn't matter, marching long distances with legs is a required course in the current era. Among the millions of Chinese troops, only Jiang
It's so luxurious and inhumane, and the several expeditions were all mechanized!
"Haha, brothers have been looking forward to this sentence for a long time!" "What are you afraid of when walking! We and others are all children of our father and mother!" "Yes, yes, yes, sir, don't worry, brothers are not in a greenhouse.
The flowers are all veterans of many battles who have gone through great storms! Haha!" Huzi and others laughed heartily. Only by truly experiencing suffering can one know how to cherish the hard-won happiness of life!
This time supporting the front line of the Anti-Japanese War in Texas, Huzi, Shunzi, Li Jinglin, Wu Kexiang and others were greatly tempered and made great progress. They also saw the brutality and power of the Japanese! Everyone deeply understood what subversion means in their hearts.
There are no unbroken eggs under the nest, so what does it mean to say "those who are not of my race will have different hearts", and what does it mean to "better to die in battle than to be a slave to the country's subjugation"!
"I have to say goodbye after a long journey, Chief of Staff Jiang. We will see you later!" "Chief of Staff Jiang, I wish you a safe journey! I look forward to the day when we can fight side by side again to kill the little Japs!" "Haha, Commander Li, Wang
Deputy Division Commander, Chief of Staff Liu, Brigadier Yun,... As long as the little devils dare to continue to invade our Shandong Province, then we will definitely have the opportunity to fight side by side again!
There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Brothers and comrades, please stay here. Green mountains will remain green and green waters will flow forever. Please take care of yourself and see you soon!" At 6 o'clock in the morning on October 23, 1937, Jiang Qiang followed the troops as planned.
Departing from Linyi County, Li Hanzhang, Wang Yuzhang, Liu Chongwu, Yun Qichang, Chen Yannian and other senior friendly officers all got up early to see Jiang Qiang off without exception.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, I finally met you! Wang Yong, director of the Zhaoyuan Police Department and head of the garrison, led the Zhaoyuan County Transportation Brigade to report. Please give instructions!" Jiang Qiang and his team had just walked out of Linyi County and entered.
Not long after arriving in Qihe County, Wang Yong drove Jiang Qiang's black Mercedes-Benz and took the lead and arrived in front of Jiang Qiang!
After receiving Jiang Qiang's telegram the day before yesterday, Zhaoyuan County started operating at full speed. After intense and efficient dispatching, a total of 87 transport vehicles of various types were collected! "Haha, you guys came very quickly! Not bad!" Jiang Qiang smiled.
He responded with a salute, exchanged a few words, and then immediately ordered: "Give the order and let the injured brother get on the bus first, and the remaining empty seats will be filled by others! The rest continue to walk forward!"
This time Wang Yong brought all the transport vehicles in Zhaoyuan County, but the maximum number of people transported was less than 5,000, and the current walking independent brigade still has more than 8,000 people! "Chief of Staff, you can go back by car first, we are in Zhaoyuan County
The soldiers and civilians have been waiting for this for a long time. This time, I am asked to wait for my brothers to walk back. I cannot fight side by side with you, so why should I be allowed to walk with my brothers?"
Wang Yong looked at Jiang Qiang eagerly. It was not his turn during the two expeditions. He just listened to how fierce and tragic the battle was, but could not experience the bloody scenes of war and artillery fire. He felt really uncomfortable! "
Okay! Then I'm not welcome! You can lead the rest of the troops back to Zhaoyuan, and we will retreat first!" Jiang Qiang did feel that he owed Wang Yong a little in his heart. At any time, military merit is the most important factor in assessing a soldier's qualifications.
standards, not to mention that you can learn many things through war that cannot be learned in peacetime.
Since he asked for training in this way, Jiang Qiang naturally would not refute his face, and immediately complied, and then ordered Huzi, Li Jinglin and other regiment-level commanders to evacuate first! "Finally he's back again! Hey, here comes one."
Less than half a year later, I actually felt like I was in another world!" After more than ten hours of turbulence, Jiang Qiang and others returned to Zhaoyuan County at 8:30 in the evening. By this time, it was completely dark.
Come down! However, Jiang Qiang, who has superhuman vision, saw from a distance a crowd of people standing under the street lights outside the gate of Zhaoyuan County. It was obvious that the soldiers and civilians of Zhaoyuan who had received the news crowded outside the city gate very early.
On both sides of the road, people were quietly waiting for the return of Jiang Qiang and others!
