A fire suddenly ignited on Mianchuan Island, and the smell of diesel and barbecue floated in the wind. Okamura Neji sniffed and suddenly vomited,
This is the Xuebing Army disposing of the corpses of Japanese soldiers. Not counting the corpses that drifted to unknown places in the river, there are more than 16,000 corpses of little Japanese soldiers on Mianchuan Island alone. With so many corpses, ten of them The fifth and sixth ones were still missing arms and legs, which was particularly troublesome to deal with. The burning actually lasted for a full week.
"Burning it can also add some fertilizer to Mianchuan Island. In order to support our battle, the people on the island have hid. Being able to make the land more fertile for them can be regarded as a little compensation from our Xuebing Army. ,." Ouyang Yun instructed like this. The corpses of the Japanese were so densely packed that it turned out to be a problem that the Xuebing Army urgently needed to solve. In June, the weather was already quite hot. If so many corpses were not handled properly, they would rot and develop bacteria. Then, it will inevitably cause a plague,
The Cadet Army attaches great importance to battlefield cleaning. The remains of the fallen cadets must be collected. Most of them will be cremated on the spot and the ashes will be taken back. As for some high-ranking officers, or those whose identities cannot be verified, they will be taken back to Guangzhou. ,
What kind of treatment can the dead enjoy? This is why the student army has such a strong cohesion. No matter you are a private at the lowest level, or a division commander or army commander, as long as you die in battle, then the student army The military history museum of the army will surely record your life story for future generations to read.
The corpses of the enemy must also be properly disposed of. Of course, they cannot enjoy the treatment of burning with firewood. They can only have diesel fuel poured all over their bodies, and then become a bowl of loess on the Chinese land in the raging fire.
They actually won, and the result was so brilliant. The students were wandering among the corpses of the Japanese, and many of them felt like they were in a dream. The Third Military Division plus the troops directly under the legion and the artillery unit, there were nearly three soldiers. Thousands of people, but in fact, the only ones who were at loggerheads with the Japs from beginning to end were the 7th Xuexue Brigade and the 8th Xuexue Brigade. The two brigades combined had less than 7,000 men, but they actually managed to hold back the Japs with five times their own strength. It is hard to overstate how the students who survived the fierce attack felt.
When the students on Mianchuan Island began to clean up the battlefield, Ouyang Yun took Bai Liusu and Chen Jiayao back to the south bank. You Xiaolian and Bian Jingdao guarded each other. The two were like aggressive roosters, fighting each other all the time, because After capturing Shanshi Zongwu, Bian Jingdao was named by Ouyang Yun and became a battalion commander under Liu Kui. Liu Kui and Shui Hongxiu were away, and You Xiaolian was specifically responsible for Ouyang Yun's security work, so he and Bian Jingdao often crossed paths. The two were very close. Naturally, they met. During this period, admiring the overt and covert fights between these two people has become a fixed program of the assault company. For this reason, someone suggested to Ouyang Yun that they thought these two people were too childish and didn't even know what they were doing. How great was the responsibility on his shoulders? He suggested that Ouyang Yun should replace them. In response, Ouyang Yun only used one sentence to make the proposer give up the idea of continuing to investigate: Is it wrong? They will affect stability and unity. Haven't you seen that these two are Tortoise and Mung Bean, they have made eye contact, so don't worry, with them by my side, my safety factor will only be improved.
The Niangzi Yunwei Regiment has been established not long ago, but this is the first time to fight with the army. Ouyang Yun agreed to the original intention of establishing the Yunwei Regiment, which was to help some bosses in the army solve their personal problems, and now You Xiaolian and Bian Jingdao The story that happened between them was actually what he wanted to see,
When Ouyang Yun returned to the south bank, he first commended his compatriots to the artillery unit commanded by Zhang Tianquan, and then sent a message to the whole country in the name of the General Headquarters of the Cadet Army, reporting to the people of the country the progress of the war and the results achieved.
The news spread across the country, immediately triggering a wave of "Congratulations to Xuebingjun for his great victory in Madang".
In Chongqing, in the office of the Chairman of the Supreme Military Commission, Chiang Kai-shek looked at the telegram reporting the victory of the student army presented by his attendants. There was no trace of joy on his face. On the contrary, there was only deep sorrow.
Changsha, inside the National Army Headquarters on the south bank of the Battle of Wuhan, Chen Cheng looked at the telegram reporting the victory, his face was first happy and then worried. Later, he said to his confidants: "The soldiers and horses will achieve a great victory. I'm afraid, the next step will be meritorious." We have successfully returned to Guangzhou. The Japanese cannot suffer this loss in vain. Next, we will be the ones who have to bear the wrath of the Japanese on behalf of the Xuebingjun. I am passing on my order to cancel the leave of officers above the battalion level from now on. Today, the entire army uses training instead of fighting, and must always be ready for battle."
Hankou, inside the National Army Headquarters on the north bank of the Battle of Wuhan, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and Yang Sen had different expressions. Among them, Li Zongren was sincerely happy. He said repeatedly: "I said Ouyang Yun can definitely defend Madang. How about it?" Am I right?"
Bai Chongxi thought of another question. He said: "Ouyang Yun's strategy of arrogating the enemy is very good. The group artillery tactic is so good. The Japanese gain wisdom after every experience. In the future, we want to repeat this move. I'm afraid it won't be so cheap anymore, De Neighbor, in the near future, we must shrink our defense lines, and we must withdraw from all the places we have taken advantage of before. When did the Japanese suffer such a big loss? They will definitely Revenge, we all know that the one in Chongqing is most afraid of someone threatening his position. The Xuebing Army has achieved such a huge victory. If you think about it, with Ouyang Yun's current reputation, this will definitely make him more prosperous. This is definitely not what the Chongqing man wants to see. I can foresee that soon, the Xuebing Army will be ordered to return to Guangdong. I heard that the Japanese South China Front Army is currently attacking the guerrilla base areas at the junction of Fujian and Zhejiang. After Bingjun returns, who will be the target of the Japanese's venting is us."
The focus of the Japanese 2nd Army and the 11th Army during this period was on the Xuebing Army and the Madang area. This gave Li Zongren and Yang Sen an opportunity to take advantage of it. They boldly attacked and once expanded the Hankou defense circle to the surrounding areas. Now, of the six divisions of the Sichuan Army under the jurisdiction of Yang Sen, the most outstanding one has been active on the Dawu and Guangshui front lines, and has repeatedly won victories against Japan (most of the Japanese troops in these places exist in squadron formations). Originally, for Nobu frequently won victories, and Yang Sen was very proud, thinking that this had something to do with his usual teachings. Now, after seeing the victory telegram from the Xuebing Army and hearing Bai Chongxi's analysis, he realized that this was nothing Good thing, for Yang Sen, the six Sichuan military divisions he now has are the only guarantee for his current status. Naturally, he is as nervous about them as his own children. During this period, although he frequently won victories in the war against Japan, He also knew that there was a high degree of trickery involved. If both sides had equal strength, the Sichuan army would have no chance of winning. Therefore, once he thought that the Japanese army might move south in large numbers, and his Sichuan army would be the first to bear the brunt of its wrath, he immediately accepted Bai Chongxi's offer. He tentatively asked Bai Chongxi: "Chief of Staff Bai, according to you, a war between us and the Japanese army is inevitable."
"Yes, now, we should prepare as early as possible. We also played a certain role in the Xuebing Army achieving such a great victory. If we hadn't contained and attracted some Japanese troops here, Ouyang Yun would not have been able to win the battle so easily.
, Commander Yang, I think you can definitely seek some compensation from Ouyang Yun for the sacrifices of the troops during this period."
