The Chinese troops attacking Tianjin from the north and the south all retreated in the blink of an eye. The 22nd and 27th independent mixed brigades urgently transferred by the Kwantung Army were still hurriedly landing at Tianjin Port. The sound of gunfire had long been silenced.
The thick smoke in the air was a silent proof that a war had just ended.
Colonel Yoshino Eitoyo, commander of the 22nd Independent Mixed Brigade, and Colonel Okazaki Shozo, commander of the 27th Independent Mixed Brigade, arrived at the garrison headquarters almost at the same time. They were greeted by Commander Kozuki Kiyoshi and Chief of Staff Hashi.
This group was solemnly received by the commander of the Fifth Division, Seishiro Itagaki, and more than a dozen generals.
After the exchange of salutes, Kozuki Kiyoshi took the lead in walking into the headquarters gate, and a group of generals and officers lined up in two lines according to military rank and seniority very naturally, and followed closely.
Yoshino Eiyotoshi, who was short and stocky and had a beard, walked beside his old classmate Seishiro Itagaki. He turned his head and asked anxiously in a low voice: "Itagaki-kun, is the situation very bad?"
Itagaki's steps were calm, but his deep voice was very solemn: "In the Battle of Langfang that ended five hours ago, the 20th Division and the 109th Division were ambushed by a Chinese army twice their size, and suffered losses of more than 10,000
Seven thousand people, with as many as 15,000 wounded, the two divisions fought hard to break through and retreat to the Baodi front line, leaving only five
More than a thousand soldiers were intact. It was not easy for me to lead the troops stationed in Tianjin. In the sudden attack by two armies of the Chinese Army in the south, the number of casualties in our fifth division exceeded 4,500. The three garrison troops guarding Tianjin headquarters were
The team's losses were even more serious, with more than 7,000 casualties... This battle was truly a humiliating defeat!"
The look of shock on Yoshino Eitoshi's face quickly disappeared, and his messy steps quickly returned to normal: "This is really bad news. The opponent is the An Jiajun, known as the 'Iron Army', right? How could this happen?"
Itagaki Seishiro came slightly closer to Yoshino Eito: "Let's go, let's have a good talk after accepting the mission. It is estimated that your two support brigades, which were ordered to be in danger, are likely to go to the Wuqing front line immediately to fight with the two divisions of the Anjia Army that still occupy the Langfang area.
Combat. Under the current circumstances, only taking the initiative can reduce Tianjin's defensive pressure.
"Based on today's frequent battles between the aviation force and the Chinese army, our fighter planes do not have the absolute advantage over North China as imagined. The number of fighter planes lost in the battle on both sides is between 70 and 90, belonging to the Kwantung Army.
The aviation group army is likely to be temporarily assigned to the North China Garrison Army to facilitate air-ground coordinated operations. However, I heard that the domestic base camp is already angry, or disappointed. If nothing else, General Xiangyue Qingji will soon be
replace."
"Ah? It's so unexpected. How could such a huge loss be possible..."
...
The scope of the war zone, which the Nanjing Central Military Commission calls the "Battle of Langfang", is not just the area from Langfang to Ma where fierce battles took place between the three divisions of the Chinese Army's Fifth Corps and the Seventeenth Army and the Japanese 20th Division and the 109th Division.
The Fangzhuang front line even includes the three battlefields of Huangcun, Wuqing and Tianjin where the north and south of Langfang are fighting at the same time, covering an area of hundreds of kilometers.
The Nanjing Central Military Commission's conclusion was well-intentioned, and it also included the political reasons that inspired the 29th Army and various armed forces in North China to rise up to resist the Japanese. During the 17-hour continuous battle, the Fifth Army had as many as 120,000 soldiers participating in the battle, and achieved three goals in annihilating the Japanese army.
More than 17,000 people captured the Japanese army
With a huge victory of more than 3,700 men, the three armies of the Fifth Army also paid a high price of sacrificing more than 28,000 people and injuring more than 30,000 people. Among them, the Sixty-eighth Division of the Fifth Army suffered heavy losses and could not be saved.
Without completely withdrawing from the battlefield, we will go south to the border area between Hebei and Henan for reorganization.
The Battle of Langfang, called "the first battle after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese all-out war" by various countries at home and abroad, shocked the whole world. Almost no one could have imagined that the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese all-out war would start with such a big collision.
, let alone expected that the powerful Japanese army would be defeated by the Chinese army in just one day and one night, and the price paid would be so high.
After the news was announced by the Central News Agency, Southern Sichuan People's Broadcasting Station and major newspapers and magazines, hundreds of millions of Chinese soldiers and civilians were overjoyed and rushed to tell each other. Firecrackers, gongs and drums were heard everywhere in major cities across China, and proud Chinese people poured into the streets to cheer.
, the names of the "Fifth Army Corps" and the generals of the three armies who participated in the war instantly became famous at home and abroad, and were praised by hundreds of millions of people.
The setting sun is setting in the west, and the earth is turning red.
Accompanied by more than ten generals including Wan Fulin, Commander of the 53rd Army, Pang Bingxun, Commander of the 40th Army, An Yi left the frontline position to visit the officers and soldiers of the two countries.
After returning to Jinghai, An Yi immediately went to inspect the field hospital located in the dense forest in the hills west of the city. Walking among the densely packed wounded soldiers, his ears were filled with painful moans, his eyes were filled with pools of blood, and the strong smell of blood was in the air.
A pungent smell mixed with gunpowder smoke.
After two hours of inspection, An Yi, Wan Fulin, Pang Bingxun and other generals no longer had any joy of victory on their faces. They all discussed the transfer of seriously wounded soldiers and the replenishment of troops at a simple dining table. The discussion ended at nine o'clock in the evening.
More than ninety military trucks from the Fifth Army Headquarters Transportation Group slowly started to move westward, carrying all the seriously injured people.
Wan Fulin, Pang Bingxun and other generals sent An Yi to the special car. They talked with each other for a while before saying goodbye.
"commander--"
An Yi, who was about to board the car, turned around, and a heroic figure squeezed past the general who was seeing him off and ran to An Yi: "Report to the commander, Han Yu, the lieutenant colonel leader of the Art Troupe of the Political Department of the Second Route Army, is reporting to you.
"
An Yi smiled slightly, and the surrounding generals smiled ambiguously.
Wan Fulin laughed, waved to An Yi, and led his generals back to the military camp very generously. Pang Bingxun and Ma Fawu exchanged glances and left with a smile. Only the 40th Army Independent who had been sending An Yi to the car
Brigade Commander Gong Lei did not leave.
Gong Lei happily looked at Han Yu, the head of the cultural group who bowed his head shyly, and whispered into An Yi's ear, then gently patted An Yi's shoulder and strode away, making An Yi dumbfounded and embarrassed. Fortunately,
The light was dim, so An Yi's embarrassment didn't attract anyone's attention.
"Xiaoyu, actually I saw you today at the field hospital. At that time, you and Xiaofan, the lead singer of your group, were bandaging the wounded's broken legs, so I didn't disturb you. You did a great job, and you have performed well with your outstanding performance in the past few months.
Your performance has won the respect and love of the officers and soldiers of both armies. I will ask you for credit after I return. Can you... still bear it?" An Yi asked in a low voice.
Han Yu looked up at An Yi with great affection: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, but compared to the soldiers of the three armies who fought bloody battles, it's not worth mentioning...Brother, this battle was well fought. I'm so proud.
Before, the officers and soldiers of the 53rd Army were generally afraid, but after the battle this time, I found that the expressions on their faces were completely different. They were all proud and confident, and even a little unruly and disregarding life and death. It was really hard to
Imagine!
"It turns out that you said to me that the war can quickly change a person, so that the soul of the person can be sublimed. I have never understood. This time, in the test of war and death at any time, I finally understand you.
In terms of the group, the sisters in the group also transported ammunition on the front line again and again, and when the injured soldiers were lifted one by one, they became strong. "
"Oh!? This is a rare perception!"
An Yi did not expect Han Yu to say so much experience. He couldn't help taking the first half of the steps, and complained about her military hat: "I understand, don't be too tired, tomorrow you will escort the wounded and return to Baoding with the team, and return to Baoding.
You also have a lot of work to prepare, go busy. Early rest, tomorrow I will rush back to Nanjing, and wait for me to visit you. "
"Hmm ... brother, there is something, I ... I dare not hide you ..."
Han Yu subconsciously grasped An Yi's hand, and somehow trembled.
What did An Yi feel: "What's wrong? Physical uncomfortable?"
"No ... I am pregnant, I have been pregnant for more than four months, my stomach is slowly bulging, I am worried ..."
"What--"
An Yi was extremely shocked, and quickly glanced at the surrounding circle. Seeing that the guards had been distributed within 20 meters, Han Yu could not be held immediately.
"No! No way to go! You must return to the rear as soon as possible. On this section of the bones, I can't let you do anything, absolutely can't!"
Han Yu was very happy in An Yi's arms: "Brother, it's okay, I am good, I can hold it. I want to go back to Syrian House for a while, go to the southern Yunnan Sister Zhu Yun, and quietly hide to raise her body.
It will cause you any bad impact ... Brother, I have been hiding you for so long, are you angry? "
"Angry, why don't you tell me earlier, Xiaoyu, listen to me, within two days, your entire literary group must go back south to Syrian prefecture headquarters, and then I let my sister help you.
She will make a proper arrangement. I go back to see you as soon as I have time? You understand? You scared me. It ’s been four months and rushed to the front line to send ammunition to the injured. How dangerous is this?" Do you know? "
Anyi patted Han Yu's face blame.
Han Yu hugged the body of An Yihuo, slowly separated, raised her head, her face was full of charming state, and her beautiful eyes were full of love and happiness:
"I'm going back, brother, you also have to pay attention to rest. Your eyes are red, and the beard hasn't been scratched for three days? You are the commander of the Three Army, let's pay attention to your body!"
"Understand, go back! Well ..."
Han Yu left with an extremely satisfying mood. An Yi sent her far away, and she still did not get in the car. In the sigh of blame, she was worried about the concern.
Shen Fengdao quietly came to An Yi, looking at Han Yu's gradually blurred figure, and shook his head slightly: "I am too great. If you pay attention, you can see Han Yu's discomfort.
Worked hard work, and I feel dangerous when I think about it. "
An Yi whispered to condolences: "Don't say you, even I can't even think of ... The Spring Festival is now, and I will stay with Xiaoyu for a day or two almost every month.
! ""
"Xiaoyu is a good girl. She doesn't want to make you worry. If I guessed correctly, she has long wanted to give birth to a child for you. Every time I see the look on her face when she picks up little Gong Hao and Xiao San, I feel moved in my heart. I just sighed, thinking that one day she would make a request to you, but I didn't expect that this girl is very scheming and stubborn, so she arranged it cleverly." Shen Fengdao sighed sincerely.
"Commander, Brother Shen, what are you talking about?" Lin Yaodong strode over after completing his inspection.
