The good and bad news brought by Sanada was naturally about the southern front troops of the South China Front. After reading Matsui Iwane's request for help, Yamamoto Isoroku's face, which had been bloodshot due to anger, quickly turned pale. He let go of the telegram and let it go. The telegram was free-falling and fluttering to the ground. He said softly: "We can't take care of it anymore. Let's go to Naha first."
Then, he walked out of the captain's room and walked to his lounge. After he left, Tsukahara 243 picked up the telegram, looked at it, handed it to Sanada, and said: "Those idiots in the Army, A good encirclement and suppression campaign ended like this, His Majesty the Emperor should really chop off the heads of those losers."
Sanada whispered: "I'm really unwilling."
Tsukahara looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said softly: "It may not be a bad thing. Those guys in the Army have always looked up to the sky and looked down on no one. After this battle, they should be able to see themselves clearly. Sanada-kun, you follow Your Excellency, it has been two years."
Not understanding why he changed the subject, Sanada replied: "Two years and three months."
Tsukahara smiled half-heartedly: "Have you ever thought about going down there and commanding an army?"
Sanada quickly made a look of panic and said, "Sir, you are joking."
Tsukahara looked out the window and asked: "Sanada-kun, do you know in which year the empire truly rose?"
"It must have been 1894, when the empire won the Sino-Japanese War of 1894."
"Yes, it was 1905. That year the Empire won the Battle of Tsushima and completely annihilated the Russian Baltic Fleet. The fact that the Empire is in today's situation was actually created by our naval ancestors. But look at it, the military department is now completely under control. The Army is in our hands. Hum, it’s time for our Navy to take charge of the military headquarters."
"Your Mightiness."
"Let's wait and see, Sanada-kun. By then, maybe you can go to China and command a marine force."
Sanada was thoughtful,
The war on the front line is in full swing, but Guangzhou, the capital of the Xuebing Army area, is showing a festive scene. Lion dance teams and dragon dance teams from many cooperatives in the suburbs of Guangzhou are performing or competing in many streets, alleys, squares in Guangzhou, and will soon be enveloped. The haze of war over the city has been driven away a lot,
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the troops heading north under the personal command of Ouyang Yun, the commander-in-chief of the Xuebing Army, finally returned to Guangzhou. The news spread, and nearly a hundred dragon and lion dance teams converged on Sanshui District from all directions. Then, Guangzhou citizens did not know where they were coming from. Wherever they got the news, they also flocked there, and soon the streets and alleys in Sanshui District were full.
Ji Xingwen, the general political director of the Xuebing Army, Li Hanhun, the mayor of Guangzhou, Pan Meiren, Chen Jiayao and other headquarters personnel were the first to receive the news and rushed to Sanshui. When the masses came in droves, Ji Xingwen frowned and said: Guo Biao, commander of the Guangzhou Security Command, who was next to him, said: "Whoever leaked the news is too dangerous. If the little devil takes advantage of the situation and launches an air strike, the consequences will be disastrous."
Guo Biao shook his head and was about to say something, when Li Hanhun on the side answered: "The Commander-in-Chief won a great victory in Jiangxi. Yesterday and this morning, Mr. Jiang and Commander Ye completely defeated the Japanese South China Front in Fuding and Shangrao. and the 5th Army. The people are happy. We should be happy to express our love for the commander-in-chief and support for the cadet army in this way. The army and the people are united and united. This is the most valuable of the three major benefits of the military. And ah.”
Li Hanhun's inaction in the Guangzhou incident almost caused a catastrophe. Ouyang Yun did not show any mercy this time and directly expelled the old Cantonese clan as a whole. After Li Hanhun took over the post of mayor of Guangzhou, he was diligent. At this time, Although the Xuebing Army is facing the biggest crisis since entering Guangdong, because the Xuebing Army has won several great victories in succession, the morale of the people in the rear areas such as Guangzhou has remained unchanged. This is why this scene has occurred.
Guo Biao: "The Combined Fleet Air Force has just suffered a heavy blow in Fuding. It is impossible for it to have the power to break through our coastal air defense line. Minister Ji, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so let everyone be happy."
Ji Xingwen sighed softly and said nothing more.
The Xuebing Army's logistical support work is excellent. Although the troops going north are fighting in the severe cold environment of Jiangxi, it is actually not much different from staying in the military camp. Therefore, the soldiers and civilians in Guangzhou in the rear do not know what kind of suffering the soldiers on the front line have suffered in Jiangxi. They were suffering, and they only wanted to comfort them, but they themselves did not have this awareness. Along the way from Nanchang back to Guangzhou, everyone was not only happy, but also in high spirits.
At around 4:20, the 2nd Xuexi Division first appeared in the sight of Ji Xingwen and others. There were tanks and armored vehicles in the front, and neat military cards behind them. A blood-smeared and tattered military flag was flying on the front tank. He silently told people about the bloody battles this unit had experienced. It was full of holes and burn marks. The blood-smeared military flags and the cheerful welcoming atmosphere seemed a bit out of place. The noisy crowd immediately fell silent. There were still more than two hundred meters away, and the speed of the convoy slowed down. A group of left-behind officers and soldiers in military uniforms headed by Ji Xingwen stood at attention and saluted. Many people had tears in their eyes.
"I'm back." Chen Jiayao said softly, quickly reaching out to wipe her tears.
Pan Meiren stood silently, her raised right hand trembling slightly.
Getting closer, getting closer, suddenly the sound of "cracking" firecrackers sounded, and someone in the welcoming crowd lit a small whip placed on the roadside. The next moment, the lion dance team and the dragon dance team were dancing to the sound of drums. It started to beat, and someone in the crowd shouted: "Welcome home." Someone else shouted: "Heroic cadets, welcome home."
"Welcome home." Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, and the scene immediately became heated.
"Lao Ji, Lao Guo, let's go meet them." Li Hanhun said to Ji Xingwen and Guo Biao. After saying this, he waved his hand, and immediately someone followed him holding a wine jar and a pottery bowl.
"He is the second master of the academy." Pan Meiren said softly to Chen Jiayao,
The tank slowly drove to a stop in front of the welcoming crowd. The door of an armored vehicle opened. Liu Zheliang stepped out of the vehicle at the lead. He led a dozen of his men to greet Li Hanhun and others.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded: "Salute." Liu Zheliang stood still and led all the officers and soldiers of the Second Learning Division to raise their hands in salute.
Ji Xingwen returned the military salute, and Li Hanhun bowed in response, then took a bowl of wine from his subordinates and handed it over, saying: "Mr. Liu, welcome home. Thank you for your hard work. Please."
"Thank you, Mayor Li, and Happy New Year." Liu Zheliang took the wine bowl and said,
Li Hanhun nodded and thanked him, and then served water and wine to the brothers behind Liu Zheliang.
Ji Xingwen walked up to Liu Zheliang, punched him hard first, and said: "Yes, he looks like a tiger general. Where is the commander-in-chief? Why haven't you seen him?"
A trace of blush appeared on Liu Zheliang's face and he said: "The commander-in-chief said that our Second Division performed the best this time and made the greatest sacrifice, so it should go first."
"That's right, thank you folks."
Liu Zheliang looked back and saw that all the brothers around him already had wine bowls in their hands, so he raised the wine bowls above his head, thanked everyone around him, and said, "Fellows, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and welcome us. Six divisions, three guerrilla divisions, and two brigades of troops directly under the General Headquarters, a total of 110,000 people, followed Commander-in-Chief Ouyang to the north to fight against the Japanese invaders. Fortunately, they fulfilled their mission and completely annihilated the Japanese 11th Army, wiping out 150,000 enemies. The remaining people,.”
Before he finished speaking, the crowd roared, "Roaring", "There are 150,000 Japanese."
"Folks, please be quiet." Seeing that the scene was a bit chaotic, Ji Xingwen raised his hands and shouted to everyone around him,
The crowd fell silent, and at this time, Liu Zheliang was almost finished speaking, "...I would like to pay tribute to the brothers who sacrificed their lives in this battle." After saying this, he tilted the wine bowl and poured the wine on the cement in front of him. On the way, he said with tears in his eyes: "Brothers, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I wish you a happy New Year. This water and wine are given to you by the villagers, so please drink them to the full."
