Chapter 102 Steel Discipline
Although Bai Chongxi had a mediocre strategic vision, he still had a very strong tactical vision. He had already foreseen the battle of Nanjing from the bleak end of the Battle of Shanghai.
What is said here is not just about the dismal silence.
In fact, the Japanese army performed as dismal in the Battle of Shanghai.
Before the war started, the Japanese base camp threatened to conquer China within three months. This was the original words that Japanese Army Minister Sugimoto said when he visited the Japanese Emperor Hirohito. But in the end, the Battle of Songhu alone lasted for a full three months, and the Japanese army suffered as many as 50,000 casualties in the Battle of Songhu, which was not expected by the Japanese side.
This means that the Japanese army did not achieve the results they wanted in the Battle of Shanghai!
Then, Japan will continue to expand the war, and it will become inevitable to invade Nanjing!
It seemed to be to prove the correctness of Bai Chongxi's judgment. As soon as he finished speaking, another communications officer hurried in and reported with a solemn expression: "Jiaxing City was attacked by the Japanese army!"
"What? The Japanese attacked Jiaxing? How fucking it!"
"Damn it, little Japan wants to draw a larger circle. If we don't let go of the more than 100 divisions in the Songhu battlefield, we will not give up?"
"Damn it, it's a big trouble now!"
Hearing this, the high sect in the hall was in an uproar.
Chairman Jiang's face suddenly became very embarrassing.
At this moment, Chairman Jiang did not care about Zhong Yi and the 367th Regiment. He and a few of his confidant staff and a group of senior leaders from the commander-in-chief began to search for troops all over the map. After searching for them, he only found the 23rd Army of the Sichuan Army and the 2nd Army of Xu Yuanquan. He quickly ordered the two troops to head to the north bank of the south bank of Taihu Lake to intercept the Japanese army.
...
At this time, it was in a small village in Sheshan Town, Xixi.
The remaining part of the 367th Regiment drove into the village with a tired look on his face.
The remaining soldiers of the 367th Regiment were really tired. They had the idea of avenging Zhang Kongyi and his dead comrades, but now the Japanese heavy artillery brigade has been taken and the revenge has been avenged, so they relaxed their spirits and felt particularly tired, and their legs were almost unable to walk like they were filled with lead.
Chu Bangchang suggested: "Commander-in-chief, please take a break?"
Zhong Yi looked at the exhausted remnant soldier and nodded his head lightly.
Seeing Zhong Yi nodding, the remaining soldiers of the 367th Regiment immediately cheered.
Several remaining soldiers couldn't wait to rush to a private house on the side of the road, and kicked open the door.
Because they were close to the battlefield, the people in this village had already run away, so there was no one in the house.
But Zhong Yi went wild in an instant. He is the People's Liberation Army and receives three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and does not take the masses one by one stitch!
Zhong Yi strode to catch up, kicked the two remaining soldiers who were trying to rush into the house to the ground, and shouted sternly: "What are you doing? What do you two want to do?"
The two remaining soldiers were obviously a little confused. I wonder why Zhong Yi suddenly became angry, but just stared at Zhong Yi in a daze, and forgot to answer for a while.
Finally, Chu Bangchang replied in a low voice: "Brothers just want to find something to eat."
The two remaining soldiers woke up like dreams, nodding quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"No!" Zhong Yi stopped him decisively, "No matter how hungry you are, you can't touch the people's food!"
"Why is this?" A remnant soldier said in confusion, "In order to protect the people, we are fighting to death and bleed on the battlefield. What's wrong with taking some food for them?"
The rest of the soldiers were also confused, obviously they couldn't understand either.
What's more, haven't they done this all the time? No one has ever said it.
After hearing this, Zhong Yi was furious and grabbed the remaining soldier with his chest, widened his eyes and stared at the remaining soldier fiercely, like an angry lion.
"Fuck, do you have the will to say it again?"
The remaining soldiers looked stern and dared not speak any more.
Zhong Yi asked twice before letting go of the confused remaining soldiers.
Then he looked up at the remaining soldiers around him and shouted murderously: "Let me all hear it. We are soldiers. The duty of soldiers is to protect the lives and property of the people, rather than to harm the lives and property of the people! After entering the village later, no one is allowed to trespass into the house, let alone take a stitch and thread from the fellow villagers!"
"Yes!" As soon as Zhong Yi finished speaking, more than 400 remaining soldiers agreed.
Obviously, after several battles, Zhong Yi's prestige has been erected.
But this is actually very normal. The army is the most important thing to pay attention to. As long as you are really capable, you can easily get the support, support, and even worship from the officers and soldiers.
Therefore, after more than 400 remaining soldiers entered the village, they really did not dare to enter the private houses. They only dared to enter the pigpen and cowshed, and at most they would curl up under the eaves to keep warm.
Even though the village houses were empty, the remaining soldiers did not dare to act rashly.
Looking at the brothers who were tired and hungry, Chu Gangchang couldn't bear it, so he found Zhong Yi and suggested: "Commander-in-chief, otherwise we can write an IOU and borrow some food from our fellow villagers. Is this okay?"
To be honest, Chu Bangchang also felt that Zhong Yi was a little bit of a big deal. To get some food, it’s just to make it seem more obvious?
After so many years of military service, if I had done this, I would have long since starved to death.
"No!" Zhong Yi flatly refused, "The fellow villagers are not at home. What's the difference between writing an IOU behind their backs and robbing them? We are not Japanese devils, so we can't harm our own people!"
Chu Gangchang was speechless and muttered in a low voice: "But brothers are so hungry."
The remaining soldiers of the 367th Regiment were really hungry. They had never eaten anything since they had eaten their last full meal before breaking through. So far, after more than ten hours of high-intensity marching and fighting, they have been so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs.
As soon as Chu Bangchang finished speaking, his stomach croaked twice appropriately.
Zhong Yi's stomach also thundered, and he was actually too hungry.
But it is impossible to let Zhong Yi destroy the People's Liberation Army's steel discipline!
Zhong Yi didn’t care about the discipline in the past 367th Regiment, but from now on, the discipline of the People’s Liberation Army must be strictly enforced! It’s not enough to harm the people!
At that moment, Zhong Yi said to Chu's gang: "Old Chu, please take your brothers here, I'll go find food!"
"Looking for food?" Chu Bangchang was a little confused and asked subconsciously, "Where are you going to find food?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm looking for the Japanese to get food!" Zhong Yi groaned, waved to He Yunpeng, Li Sigen and An Zhenyuan to follow, and then quickly disappeared outside the village.
Looking at Zhong Yi and the other four disappeared outside the village, Chu Gang was a little confused.
He didn't take the ready-made food in the village, but he insisted on asking the Japanese to get it?
Is the Japanese so easy to get food? Isn’t this asking for trouble?
