"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, great news. Our army achieved a great victory in Madang, annihilating nearly 50,000 Japanese troops. The Japanese 11th Army Corps
The entire army has been wiped out, Lieutenant General Yamada Joji, the commander of the enemy's 112th Division, was killed, and Lieutenant General Sotake Yamamuro, the commander of the 11th Division, was captured alive..."
On the streets of Guangzhou, a newspaper seller stuck his head out of the newsstand, waved the "Xuebingjun Daily" in his hand and shouted loudly. People hurried to work nearby rushed up after hearing the news, "Give me a copy. "I want one."...Soon, thirty copies of "Xuebingjun Daily" were sold out.
More and more people came forward to hear the good news. Those who came later could not buy the "Xuebingjun Daily", and they all shouted anxiously. Some people shouted: "Boss, why did you get so little?"
The boss smiled brightly and said loudly: "No hurry, no hurry, "Xuebingjun Daily" is no longer available, "Guangzhou Daily" and "Renqiu Times" are still there, there are also reports on them, "Guangzhou Daily" also published Mei Lan Here’s a review of the book,.”
"Give me a copy of Guangzhou Daily."
Journalists accompanying the army at Madang were the first to publicize the story of the Great Victory in the media affiliated with the Xuebing Army, which immediately aroused controversy in Guangzhou. To the people of Guangzhou and even Guangdong, Fujian, and Hainan, the Xuebing Army was their descendants. Such a great victory naturally triggered ecstasy and carnival among the people. The next day, no one organized a celebration parade in Guangzhou, Fujian and Qiongzhou. In the afternoon of the same day, more than 100 stores in Guangzhou announced price reductions to celebrate the victory. At the same time, Announced that in order to show support for frontline soldiers, families holding military family certificates can receive a small gift of about five yuan for free...
Celebrations are also taking place not only in the areas under the jurisdiction of the Xuebing Army, but also in other parts of the country. In Chongqing, although the authorities dispatched military police to expel those participating in the celebration parade in the name of stability, people still couldn't hide their expressions while talking. You must be smiling. At present, the Chinese people really need this victory to boost the morale of the people. Large areas of the country have fallen, the national army has been defeated repeatedly on the frontal battlefield, and the talk of "subjugation of the country" is rampant, whether it is old age or old age. Children, as long as they have a sense of right and wrong, they are always looking forward to the news of victory. At this time, the Xuebing Army has achieved such a great victory, so it is actually normal to trigger any kind of scene.
In Guangzhou, where the General Headquarters of the Xuebing Army is based, Ji Xingwen, as the highest left-behind officer, has become the busiest person. Congratulatory messages from all walks of life, congratulatory messages and commendation messages from the Chongqing authorities, congratulatory messages from overseas Chinese associations... Telegrams are flying from all over the world like snowflakes. Come on, let his work content during this period be completely monopolized by replying telegrams.
Among them, the most eye-catching telegram naturally came from the highest authorities in Chongqing. The highest authorities highly praised the impressive achievements of the Xuebing Army and awarded Ouyang Yun, the supreme commander of this battle, a Medal of the Qingtian Day. Ye Zhao and He Zhengjiang were each awarded a Medal of Baoding. In addition, a bonus of 100,000 yuan was given, and the institute was authorized to withdraw to its jurisdiction for rest...
In Madang, while everyone across the country was cheering and encouraging for the achievements of the Xuebing Army, Ouyang Yun and other senior officials of the army going north were counting the battle losses with a heavy heart.
Although the Japanese 106th Division moved towards Pengze in strict accordance with Okamura Neiji's order, it was still unable to break through the defense line deployed by the 12th Academy Division. When Mianchuan Island was bombarded by a group of artillery, the Chinese Dao Qingcun took the time to gauge the situation and decisively issued a retreat order. At this time, the 106th Division's remaining troops were no more than four brigades. Nakajima was worried that if he crossed the river rashly, he would be in danger of being attacked from behind by the cadet army, so he chose March to Duchang and then via Panyang, preparing to return to the Japanese-controlled area from the southeast.
The troops in Jiangbei are still dealing with the Japanese army. However, Ouyang Yun is not worried at all about whether they can break through the Japanese army. Just kidding, there are as many as six regiments of tank troops accompanying the army. With the current level of the Japanese armored forces, Jiangbei The troops are not said to be invincible, but at least the Japanese army should not take too many advantages. Of course, considering that the Japanese army will definitely redeploy aviation troops from the country and other places, the evacuation of the Jiangbei troops is also inevitable.
In the Battle of Madang, outsiders only saw how many Japanese soldiers the Xuebing Army destroyed, but they did not know how much the Xuebing Army paid for it. From the perspective of the battle loss ratio, the Xuebing Army's losses were absolutely acceptable. , However, as cadet soldiers, Ouyang Yun and the others naturally hope to sacrifice as little as possible. In the Battle of Madang, the only ones who really participated in the battle of the Northbound Army were the 12th Academic Division stationed in Hukou and the 3rd Academic Division stationed in Pengze. Among them, the 12th Xuexue Division lost one brigade, and the 3rd Xuexue Division lost one and a half brigades. If we also include the loss of nearly half a brigade of troops directly under the corps, the Xuebing Army's losses have reached one Division, this level of casualties has never been seen since the formation of the Xuebing Army. Ouyang Yun couldn't help but look at the more than thirty pages of lists of dead officers and soldiers submitted by Ye Zhao and He Zhengjiang. It turned red,
Many names were familiar to him when he was in Renqiu. They followed him to fight in the north and south and never left. However, in this foreign land, they fell. "Shichang, after you return, you set up a special team to investigate those who died in battle." If there is any difficulty in the living conditions of the soldiers' survivors, please report it to the General Political Department and let President Ji handle it as appropriate." Ouyang Yun said, collecting the list of those killed in action.
Chen Shichang nodded and said: "Ye Zhao just came back with a telegram. They successfully ambushed Okamura Neiji in Maiyuan, Taihu County. The old Japanese abandoned his helmet and armor and took the remaining troops to the hidden mountains."
Ouyang Yun nodded and asked, "How many people does Ye Zhao have in his hands now?"
"More than two thousand. The day before yesterday, they just instigated a group of Taiwanese soldiers to rebel. He originally wanted to capture Neji Okamura alive, but the old Japanese escaped."
"Let them withdraw to Jiangbei. That's enough. With these two thousand people as examples, the Japanese will have to think carefully when they want to recruit Taiwanese in the future. Have there been any telegrams from Taiwan and the headquarters recently? "
"The Japanese army continues to increase its troops in Taiwan. However, we have the air force to provide support, and the Japanese army cannot carry out large-scale clearing operations. Now, Tainan has been firmly controlled by our Taiwanese Corps."
"Where's Stern? How's the situation over there?"
"Commander Stern has a telegram. They just fought a battle with the Japs. The Japanese army was severely defeated and voluntarily withdrew from the battlefield. Commander Stern said in the telegram that on the border of Fujian and Zhejiang, his fully mechanized The troops were not as useful as the guerrillas, so he requested to enter the frontal battlefield."
"It seems that Stern failed to achieve the expected victory. Also, the investment of the Jewish Independence Army was much higher than ours, but the output was average. Ha, it seems that the Jewish Chamber of Commerce is not satisfied. Let's wait until we get back. Discuss in detail, everyone, Chen Cheng's forward will arrive in Pengze in three days, you should seize the time to do the aftermath work, we will return to the division immediately as soon as Chen's arrival."
"yes."
