Chapter 1200 Killing someone by borrowing a knife!
The Dragon Boat Festival returned to Bengbu again, but things have changed.
The city is full of ruins and the bodies of ordinary people.
The cruelty of the Japanese made many soldiers cry again. But this time, Dragon Boat Festival did not say any inspiring words to stop these soldiers from crying.
Because he knew that the soldiers sometimes needed to cry a few times to vent their inner emotions.
The Dragon Boat Festival ordered the troops to collect the bodies of the people in the city and bury them.
A total of more than 300 ordinary people were killed, and some of the bodies were even incomplete. The Japanese used grenades to lock people in the house and exploded them. Some were set on fire and burned to death.
Every murder scene was shocking. Some soldiers even vented their anger on the Japanese corpses.
After seeing the Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Weidong asked them to stop him and told them that we are different from the Japanese.
The Japanese are beasts, killing innocent people by chance. We cannot follow our example, otherwise what else can we do to get rid of animals?
In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival orders to find the corpses of the Japanese, and they were all burned together to prevent the corpses of the Japanese, from rotting and causing plague.
When the Japanese left, they did not care about their companions' bodies. Some of the Japanese's bodies were collected and placed in the yard, while others were thrown on the streets.
The Dragon Boat Festival asked the soldiers to pull all the corpses into a pile and then burn them with gasoline.
Because there were too many corpses of the Japanese, it was impossible to bury them. Moreover, the Japanese also had the habit of cremation. The Dragon Boat Festival was also considered to be the most righteous person and sent them for the last journey.
At this moment, news came from the 51st Army that Kitashirakawa had run away, and all the Japanese involved in the front-line battle retreated.
Dragon Boat Festival told Commander Yu that it is not careless, and it is possible for the Japanese to kill one and retaliate. He suggested that the 51st Army temporarily retreat ten miles to rest, send more reconnaissance posts to monitor the Japanese.
Commander Yu felt that what Dragon Boat Festival said made sense, so he immediately shrank the original defense line for ten miles, counted the casualties of each unit, and then reorganized it to avoid the problem of insufficient combat effectiveness of each unit.
For example, there is only one platoon left in the original company. If you follow the commands of one company, the task will definitely not be completed.
Therefore, one company, two company, and three company, had to be reorganized to maintain the combat effectiveness of one company.
Although the organization of the troops will be reduced in this way, the original three regiments may become two regiments, or even one regiment. Two brigades may also become one brigade.
But there is nothing to do. In order to better command the battle, Commander Yu had no choice but to do this.
As for replenishing troops from the central government, don’t think about it. Even the soldiers from the direct troops are not easy to replenish, let alone local troops like them.
So if you want to replenish troops, Commander Yu had to rely on himself to immediately start recruiting troops in a region while the Japanese retreated.
Fortunately, the 51st Army suffered a lot this time, but the Japanese also left a lot of good things.
Japanese Japanese usually choose to destroy weapons and ammunition when they are defeated. But many times, they do not have this time.
For example, if the enemy suddenly attacks, will they blow up their arms first without blocking the enemy?
Moreover, the Japanese were very crazy and did not take their enemies seriously at all, so they would not blow up their arms after the battle was in battle. Even if the Japanese were in desperate situation, they would also think about it, if they exploded all the ammunition and weapons, then what would they use to make a last fight with the enemy?
What's more, on the battlefield, they often don't have this time at all. For example, the two sides have already started a hand-to-hand battle. Could it be that he went to tell the Chinese soldiers: Let's pause first? Let's wait until I explode the weapons and ammunition, and we will fight again?
This is simply a joke. Are Chinese soldiers all fools who can kill the Japanese when they blow up all their weapons and ammunition?
What's more, in a fast-paced battle like Dragon Boat Festival, the Japanese have no time to blow up their weapons and ammunition.
The combat style of Dragon Boat Festival is only five minutes in a small battle, and no more than one hour in a big battle.
Commander Yu from the 51st Army stayed with Dragon Boat Festival for a long time and thought that Dragon Boat Festival's combat ideas were very good, and he was always imitating it.
So after the Japanese were repelled, there were a lot of weapons and ammunition left behind. These naturally fell into the hands of the Fifty-first Army.
However, it is useless to have guns and cannons alone in the Fifty-one Army. What we lack most now is the soldiers.
Of course, he can't bother the special commissioner in such a thing, he can only find a way out.
But it can be said that it is difficult to recruit soldiers because the Northeast Army has not paid military salaries for several months. If you want to recruit soldiers and horses, who will follow you without money?
This is a headache for Commander Yu. A penny stumped the hero. Commander Yu really felt it was difficult. After thinking about it, he decided to follow the example of the special envoy. If it really doesn't work, he would sell part of the weapons and equipment in his hand and raise money to recruit soldiers.
But, who should I sell it to? He also has to find such a rich customer who needs arms and has money.
Of course, this takes time, because Commander Yu also needs to find a reliable person, otherwise it would be a death sentence to resell arms privately.
However, at this time, Commander Yu was ready to resell the arms. However, just as the dust on the battlefield in Huainan fell, Li Zhongren sent a telegram to Dragon Boat Festival, saying: After receiving the equipment of the artillery regiment of Dragon Boat Festival, Han Fuju withdrew from Jinan, allowing the Japanese army to easily occupy Jinan.
After occupying Jinan, the Japanese army was very arrogant and actually rushed in, preparing to join Taierzhuang and open the door to Xuzhou.
Taierzhuang is located at the junction of Su-Lu, the southeast gate of Shandong, and the last barrier to head south to Xuzhou. Li Zongren made an emergency arrangement and was preparing to mobilize troops to defend Taierzhuang. But at this moment, the Japanese on the southern line were defeated and the Second Army was unable to support it, so he stopped in Jinan.
But even so, Xuzhou is very dangerous. Li Zhongren used fierce words in the telegram, saying that the Dragon Boat Festival should not really give the artillery regiment to Han Fuju.
And Dragon Boat Festival did not expect that Han Fuju would be so slutty. The artillery team gave him the way he finally ran away.
But Dragon Boat Festival was not very angry because he was worried about a dead person?
He just called Li Zhongren back and said three words: I understand.
Li Zhongren looked at these three words, was silent for a while, and then nodded.
Because his goal was achieved. Although he sent this telegram to Dragon Boat Festival, he seemed to be complaining, but in fact, he wanted to send Han Fuju on the way.
