Chapter seven hundred and twenty sixth victory
With the longing for a meal of white rice with fish and meat, no one in Gu Daqi or the others was lazy. Everyone worked hard, and they didn't even have the heart to listen to the platoon leader's story. They only thought about it while eating dinner later.
Have a great meal!
For a time, the battlefield fell into an extremely strange calm. Uncertain of the situation, the Japanese army suspended its attack on Nanjing. Yan Chenghan directed the troops to continuously strengthen the fortifications and build anti-gun holes.
The burst of gunfire and the news of victory shocked the former Nanjing garrison who were waiting to retreat. Some of the soldiers who were skeptical began to stop their retreat.
There are currently about 100,000 troops capable of fighting in Nanjing City, and there are tens of thousands of wounded. Except for some of these troops, the Cantonese troops, and the rest, except for the Sichuan troops, are all German divisions.
It is a pity that there are not a few strong men captured by the soldiers. There are at least 40,000 strong men among them, all of whom were captured and had no intention of fighting.
Some people's minds began to waver. At the beginning, only more than 20,000 people chose to join the army together with Gu Daqi. This also included the wounded.
But now, some soldiers are gradually asking if they can join the army. When the news of the victory came, the number of veterans who chose not to withdraw suddenly increased to more than 50,000!
Although they are afraid of death, they are more eager to win! Win once, even if it means dying once.
"If we are not afraid of going up to the peak, we will not regret dying..." This was the mentality of most of the anti-Japanese soldiers at that time. Unfortunately, their blood and tears were only betrayed.
Japan has recorded that before the retreat, almost all of Nanjing's garrison resisted desperately. It even forced several division commanders to almost have their stomachs disemboweled. However, the order from the top and the desperate escape for their lives led to the collapse of the entire army.
Overnight, those fighting troops disappeared. When the Japanese troops rushed into the city, they only saw the defeated soldiers who were cowering like lambs to be slaughtered.
Whose fault is this?! Who allowed the blood of these soldiers to be shed in vain? Who allowed them to shed their blood but still bear infamy?!
Hundreds of thousands of lives, an order. The infamy of retreating after not obeying, and Han Fuju’s words when he was being tried: Jinan has lost my responsibility, but Nanjing has lost whose responsibility?!
But these men are not thinking about this now. They are almost drooling when they look at the basins of large pieces of pork belly! There is also the steaming white rice. Gu Daqi almost jumps up when he sees these!
His eyes were staring straight at the pork belly, and he couldn't pull it out! At this time, Gu Daqi had nothing in his mind, he was only thinking about the pots of pork belly! He thought fiercely. The platoon leader said that he can eat rice as he likes. I
I will eat ten bowls in a while! No, twenty bowls!
"You stupid thing! Don't embarrass me, stand up straight!!" Gu Daqi's appearance made Zhang Guanyu angry. Damn, you are embarrassing me! You've never seen meat!
"Platoon leader, I'm hungry..." Gu Daqi still looked at the large piece of pork belly and said with saliva: "The Japs and I fought at Yuhuatai for a long time, and almost all the brothers died. The Japs' cannons are powerful. Our food is all gone."
Can’t deliver it.”
"It was easy to get down, but the news came that we were going to evacuate. So I stupidly followed him, even though I was looking for food, I couldn't find anything..."
After listening to Gu Daqi's words, Zhang Guanyu fell silent. After a long time, he sighed deeply and said: "It will be delicious soon! But don't eat too much, we still have work to do in the evening!"
Work?! What kind of work can a soldier have?! It must be to rush into battle and kill the enemy. Gu Daqi asked himself that he never lags behind others, but he saw him nodded fiercely and said to his platoon leader: "Platoon leader, you
Don’t worry! I’m not going to act like a bad person. You’re scolding your ancestors!”
Zhang Guanyu smiled and patted his shoulder. At this time, he saw the group leader Yan Chenghan slowly walking in solemnly! Then there was an angry shout: "Stand up!"
"Brush~" Everyone stood up immediately, and now they could see the difference between the soldiers of the National Defense Force and the Nanjing defenders. As long as they were soldiers of the National Defense Force, they all stood straight with their backs straight and looked solemn!
Yan Chenghan walked to a table. The dishes on this table were no different from those on other tables. Egg drop soup, large pieces of pork belly stewed vermicelli, pickled fish and a stir-fried green vegetable.
"Please take a seat! Let's eat!" After Yan Chenghan said this, everyone sat down. Then they started eating without saying a word. Gu Daqi, who had never seen an officer eating with him, looked stupidly at a big group leader.
I was suddenly speechless while eating food that was no different from my own.
The biggest thing for Gu Daqi was to eat with the platoon leader. There were a few extra pieces of meat in the platoon leader's bowl, but his bowl was just corn and wheat husk rice. But at that time, Lao Gu already felt that the platoon leader was very good, at least he was willing to work with him.
Have dinner with him.
When the regiment leader came in, the platoon leader told him that he was the leader of our regiment. Gu Daqi looked over and saw that Yan Chenghan was just like a soldier beside him. He was chewing the food on the table!
The soldiers on the side seemed to think that this was normal, and they ate when they should, without any different reaction. Gu Daqi slowly lowered his head. Somehow he felt that joining this army might be the luckiest thing for him.
choice.
But at this moment, Gu Daqi saw a bowl of white rice being pushed in front of him. He raised his head and saw the smiling face of platoon leader Zhang Guanyu.
"It's easy to kill enemies when you're full. Don't lose the strength to kill the Japanese!" Gu Daqi nodded fiercely. He picked up the rice and ate it in big gulps.
Zhang Guanyu smiled and put a large piece of pork belly into his bowl, and then shared some dishes with a few men who were wiping their eyes. He turned around and went to the window to make another pot of pork vermicelli.
The meal was eaten very quickly and was finished in a few seconds. The table was cleared, but it seemed that the soldiers on the scene had no intention of leaving yet. Yan Chenghan walked slowly to the display window and looked at the people below and said in a deep voice.
"These meals were saved for us one by one by the common people in the three northeastern provinces. This pork and the clothes you are wearing were donated to us by the common people in the three northeastern provinces!"
"Eating the food given by the people and wearing the clothes given by the people, we must be worthy of the clothes and the food!" Yan Chenghan spoke in plain language, without any of the formality of the Nanjing generals.
"I won't say any more nonsense. Let's kill the enemy tonight! Your names and family members are all recorded! If you die in the battle, we will be responsible for your family members in the three eastern provinces! I, Yan Chenghan, just left me here! I have something to eat.
, don’t let them starve! If you can’t do it, let me die without any body on the battlefield! I will have no descendants!”
"You say you are men, I don't want to listen! Kill one of them on the battlefield and show me!" Yan Chenghan was extremely rude and said harshly: "Take the Japanese's head and talk to me! Disband!"
As soon as the words came to this point, the soldiers of the former Nanjing garrison exploded! One by one, they were eager to sign up with their platoon leaders, and those who could stay were almost all bloody men.
What the regiment leader said makes sense. It is better to raise one head on the battlefield than to brag ten thousand times! The real ability is to kill, and platoon leaders at all levels have long been accustomed to this mobilization method in the National Defense Forces.
Let the people below choose the most capable fighter first. The requirements are very simple: they have participated in at least two battles in Songhu and Nanjing, and have the experience of killing at least ten Japanese soldiers.
At this time, most of the people were wiped out. The soldiers complained that they were not qualified. They walked away with their heads drooped. Here are their brothers, no matter how they performed on the battlefield, they had participated in several battles.
It is clear that nothing can be faked.
In a few moments, the platoon leaders below selected more than 6,000 people to participate in this operation. In fact, until now, these men of the National Defense Force are quite uncomfortable with the fact that their army has expanded to nearly 100,000 people.
Fortunately, these more than 3,400 people are all elites in the National Defense Forces. Even if an ordinary soldier serves as a squad leader or platoon leader, it is not a problem. All the platoon leaders here have attended the Northeast National Defense University Non-commissioned Officer School for further training.
Commanding operations and ideological work are also very easy. This is why I am not in a hurry.
These men of the National Defense Force are all old men who have fought in the war, and you will know what level they are skilled in. This canteen was originally a barracks for the garrison, and a shooting range was temporarily built outside.
After I came out and tried a few tricks, I basically had a good idea of what level I was playing as a machine gunner.
More than 6,000 people were organized into direct action teams. They were divided into teams and received weapons such as submachine guns, light machine guns, and grenades under the leadership of their respective platoon leaders.
Since they don't know how to use explosive canisters, they have to let the veterans of the National Defense Force use them. We will teach them when the time comes! After giving them a brief explanation of the grenade canisters and telling them how the Japanese army used them, the grenade canisters returned to the
In the hands of veterans.
Experience with grenades is very important. It is very difficult to ensure a hit rate without firing hundreds of rounds. After receiving the weapons, this army of more than 8,000 people including veterans was divided into four groups of two soldiers each.
Thousands of people.
Under the leadership of the returning crows, they sneaked towards the Japanese position through the opened safe passage. Gu Daqi was very excited holding the new gun! This thing seemed to have been seen by the guards at Commander Tang's headquarters.
This is a great thing! Gu Daqi also has several grenades on his waist. These are melon-shaped grenades, which were modified by the National Defense Forces for grenade launchers.
Seeing his platoon leader carrying strips of iron pipes on his back, Gu Daqi felt a burst of admiration! The platoon leader just told him that these iron pipes are very powerful! When they explode, they can reach more than ten meters, which is very powerful!
Chapter completed!
