The Dragon Boat Festival returned to Bengbu again, but things had already changed.
The city is full of ruins and corpses of people.
The cruelty of the Japanese made many soldiers cry again. But this time, Dragon Boat Festival did not say some inspiring words to stop these soldiers from crying.
Because he knows that soldiers sometimes need to cry twice to vent their inner emotions.
Dragon Boat Festival ordered the troops to collect the bodies of the people in the city and bury them.
In total, more than 300 civilians were killed, and some even had incomplete corpses. The Japs used hand grenades to lock people in the house and bomb them. Others were set on fire and burned alive.
Every murder scene was shocking. Some soldiers even vented their anger on the corpses of the Japanese.
After seeing this, Duanwu asked Zhao Weidong to stop them and tell them that we are different from the Japanese.
The little devil is a beast, killing innocent people indiscriminately. We cannot imitate him, otherwise what is the difference between him and a beast?
Moreover, the Dragon Boat Festival ordered that the corpses of those little devils should also be found and burned together to prevent the corpses of the devils from rotting and causing a plague.
The little Japanese didn't pay attention to the corpses of his companions when he left. Some of the corpses of the Japanese were collected and placed in the yard, while others were left on the street.
However, at this time, leaving aside Commander Yu's plan to resell arms, he said that just when the dust fell on the Huainan battlefield, Li Zhongren sent a telegram to Duanwu, saying: After Han Fuju received the equipment of the Duanwu artillery regiment, he
Withdrew troops from Jinan, allowing the Japanese army to easily occupy Jinan.
This was a headache for Commander Yu. It was difficult for a heroic man to pay for a penny. Commander Yu really felt that it was difficult. After thinking about it, he decided to imitate the special commissioner, and if it didn't work, he would sell the weapons and equipment in his hands.
Go out part of the way and then raise money to recruit troops.
Commander Yu of the 51st Army stayed with Duanwu for a long time, and felt that Duanwu's combat idea was very good, and he has been following suit.
The little devils usually choose to destroy their weapons and ammunition when they are defeated. But many times, they do not have this time.
Of course, for this kind of thing, he couldn't bother the special correspondent and had to find a way on his own.
Because there were too many corpses of the Japanese, there was no way to bury them. Moreover, the little Japanese also had the habit of being cremated. The Dragon Boat Festival was kind enough to send them off for the last time.
Although the establishment of the army will be downsized in this way, the original three regiments may become two regiments, or even one regiment. And the two brigades may also become one brigade.
After occupying Jinan, the Japanese army was so arrogant that they marched straight in, preparing to join Taierzhuang and open the door to Xuzhou.
This is simply a joke. Are Chinese soldiers all fools? They wait for the Japs to blow up their weapons and ammunition before killing the Japs?
What's more, in a fast-paced battle like the Dragon Boat Festival, the Japanese don't have time to blow up their own weapons and ammunition.
Moreover, the little devils are so crazy that they don't take their enemies seriously at all, so they will not blow up their own weapons after the battle is going on. Even if the little devils are in desperate situation, they will still think about it.
, if all the ammunition and weapons are blown up, then what will they use to make a last stand against the enemy?
What's more, many times on the battlefield, they don't have this time at all. For example, the two sides have already started a hand-to-hand battle. Should he tell the Chinese soldiers: Let's pause for a while? Let's wait until I blow up the weapons and ammunition, and then we can fight again?
At this time, news came from the 51st Army that Beibairakawa had been washed away, and all the Japanese who participated in the frontline operations had also retreated.
But there was no other way. In order to better direct the battle, Commander Yu could only do this.
For example, if the enemy suddenly attacks, will they blow up their own weapons first instead of blocking the enemy?
Duanwu told Commander Yu that he should not be careless, as it was possible for a Japs to kill a Japs. He suggested that the 51st Army temporarily withdraw ten miles to rest and send out more reconnaissance posts to monitor the Japs.
For example, if there is only one platoon left in the original company, if we continue to issue orders according to one company, the mission will never be completed.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, the soldiers pulled all the corpses into a pile and burned them with gasoline.
Taierzhuang is located at the junction of Shandong and Shandong. It is the southeast gate of Shandong and the last barrier to Xuzhou in the south. Li Zongren made emergency arrangements and was preparing to mobilize troops to defend Taierzhuang. But at this moment, the Japanese on the southern front were defeated and the Second Army was unable to fight alone.
branch and stopped in Jinan.
Therefore, one company, or two companies, or three companies must be reorganized to maintain the combat effectiveness of a company.
The fighting style of the Dragon Boat Festival means that small battles only last five minutes, and large battles will not take more than an hour.
Fortunately, the 51st Army suffered heavy losses this time, but the Japs also left behind a lot of good things.
Therefore, after the Japs were repulsed, there were a lot of weapons and ammunition left behind. And these naturally fell into the hands of the 51st Army.
Of course, this will take time, because Commander Yu still needs to find a reliable person, otherwise it will be a capital crime to resell arms privately.
As for replenishing soldiers from the central government, don't even think about it. It's not even easy to replenish soldiers from the direct troops, let alone local armies like them.
Commander Yu felt that what Dragon Boat Festival said was reasonable, so he immediately shrank the original defense line by ten miles, counted the casualties of each department, and then reorganized it to avoid the problem of insufficient combat effectiveness in each department.
But even so, Xuzhou is still in danger. Li Zhongren used strong words in the telegram, saying that Dragon Boat Festival should not really give the artillery regiment to Han Fuju.
Therefore, if he wanted to replenish his troops, Commander Yu had to rely on himself. While the Japanese were retreating, he immediately started recruiting troops in an area.
But it can be said that it is difficult to recruit troops, because the Northeast Army has not paid military salaries for several months. If you want to recruit troops, who will follow you if you have no money?
But, who should he sell it to? He still has to find such a wealthy customer who needs arms.
But it is useless to say that the 51st Army only has guns and artillery. What it lacks most now is soldiers.
And Duanwu didn't expect that Han Fuju would be such a bastard. The artillery regiment was given to him, but he finally ran away.
But Duan Wu was not very angry, because with a dead man, what did he care about?
He just called Li Zhongren back and said three words: Got it.
Li Zhongren looked at these three words, was silent for a long time, and then nodded.
Because his goal was achieved. Although he seemed to be complaining when he sent this message to Duanwu, in fact, he was sending Han Fuju on his way.
He knew who Duanwu was. One of his division commanders and his goddaughter both died in Duanwu's hands. So Han Fuju collected Duanwu's things, but instead of following Duanwu's plan to defend Jinan, he ran away.
