Chapter seven hundred and thirty first dismissal
Some people cursed, but more people lowered their heads and cried. The Nanjing State Government and the Chairman undoubtedly gave up on them again. After Su Haoxuan and his friends sank the Japanese gunboats, they also took their brothers with their faces to the city.
In just half an hour of battle, Su Haoxuan lost the lives of more than 50 brothers. He injured more than a hundred people, most of whom were injured by Japanese machine guns, and some were because they had no cover and fell under Japanese artillery fire.
The abandoned former Nanjing defenders looked depressed. After cursing over and over again, they gritted their teeth and walked towards the several non-commissioned officers of the National Defense Forces.
"Sir, I dare not ask for a gun. Give me a big knife! Let me die on the battlefield, it is better than this cowardly living!" Countless men said to the soldiers of the National Defense Forces.
These people were not rejected, and they were successively incorporated into the former defenders who first joined the Defense Forces. The veterans of the Defense Forces were their guidance, including teaching them the discipline and regulations of the Defense Forces.
At the same time, register their families, names, etc., and these will be included in the registration of the National Defense Forces. As long as they have made meritorious performance, these talents can truly join the National Defense Forces' troops.
Otherwise, after the war in Nanjing ended, they would retire to the three northeastern provinces to farm. Of course, they should be treated very much. However, what the army needs are strong people, and the discipline of the National Defense Forces assessment has always been extremely strict.
"This time the loss is mainly responsible." In the command center in Nanjing, the commander of the Nanjing Special Command, Yan Chenghan, first stood up and criticized several battalion commanders, and the company commander.
"I initially thought that the shipwreck on the Yangtze River was enough to block the Japanese warships. But I didn't consider that the Japanese army would call the inland fleet to attack, so I ignored the problem of shore defense, which led to this loss. Therefore, as a commander, I should assume the main command responsibility..."
If the officers from other Nanjing troops were here, they would definitely be surprised! A regiment commander made such a wrong confession at the meeting. Isn’t this a slap in the face?
But this self-recognition mistake, a self-criticism method of doing things in military meetings, is just a common situation in the National Defense Forces. This is Tu Qianjun's hard requirement. If you don't admit your mistakes, you will not save your "prestige". On the contrary, your behavior will be disgusting.
Your mistake has caused casualties among the soldiers! This is an extremely serious military mistake. As a soldier, he has to say one thing and two things. If he resists his mistakes and refuses to admit his mistakes, it will only greatly damage your command prestige.
On the contrary, admitting your mistakes and pointing out your mistakes will make people feel that you are honest. Replacing them with sincerity is the key to surviving with your brothers on the battlefield.
Those stories, what was filmed in TV and movies were suspicious of each other and then broke out of the siege, which was basically impossible to happen in reality. If there were doubts and ideas between each other, it would be only a matter of time before the team eventually broke down and collapsed.
Maybe you will fall apart before you can kill. Nanjing's troops are the best example. Each person who defends the city has his own ideas, and the attackers are retained. This leads to the attack being powerless and unintentional.
"The regiment commander's words are a bit bad. Our General Staff is the main responsibility for this loss." Nanjing Special Referred to the War Team Chief Feng Wenyao sighed and said, "It was also our carelessness and neglecting the shore defense matter. We were not prepared enough to deal with the Japanese attack."
"Originally, this plan should have been done by our General Staff, but this time our General Staff did not play the role it deserves..."
At this time, a staff officer walked in with a ugly face and said softly: "Captain, Chief of Staff. The headquarters' telegram has been sent..."
Everyone couldn't help but mention it, but saw Yan Chenghan sighing, "You read it to everyone..."
"National Defense Force Order No. 358, Nanjing: The Japanese army used gunboats and motorboats to attack the Yangtze River to specifically refer to the commander of the battle group Yan Chenghan. He was careless and lack of preparation, resulting in the attack and losses of our troops and retreating residents. In view of this, the headquarters decided to revoke the rank of Colonel Yan Chenghan and the position of commander of the regiment, and serve as battalion commander of the Nanjing Special Commander."
"Hiss~~" Everyone couldn't help but take a breath, good guy! This punishment is not light, but at the same time I was relieved. Fengtian Command still gave Yan Chenghan a chance. As long as he made meritorious service on the battlefield, it would be just a matter of one sentence.
"Nanjing Special Commander Feng Wenyao, chief of staff of the war team, was careless and neglected his duties, causing the Japanese army to kill and injure our retreating military and civilians during the attack and caused casualties. In view of this, the headquarters decided to revoke Feng Wenyao's ranks of military and chief of staff, and serve as the instructor of the first battalion of the Nanjing Special Commander. This order notifies the entire army."
The Chief of Staff was also removed?! Everyone felt uncomfortable, and at this time Yan Chenghan and Feng Wenyao's faces were very ugly. Staff Jian could not continue to think about it, and Yan Chenghan roared in a low voice: "I miss it! Who will take over our position?!"
The staff member shook for a while and was embarrassed for a long time and didn't dare to speak. Feng Wenyao sighed when he saw this, "Remember! We always need someone to command the battle..."
The staff officer grunted for a long time and said, "Gu Xingguo, the battalion commander of the Nanjing Special Command Team, is temporarily the leader of the Nanjing Special Command Team. Yang Maode, the instructor of the First Battalion, is temporarily the chief of staff of the Nanjing Special Command Team."
"Nanjing special refers to the war team's first battalion and one company of war team, and the collective first-class merit is remembered once when repelling the Japanese army. Company commander Su Haoxuan is in good command, and the individual second-class merit is remembered once when fighting bravery is remembered once when fighting. He sent a telephone to the entire army to commend the Defense Force Command, Commander-in-Chief of the Defense Force Tu Qianjun."
After hearing the order, everyone felt it was acceptable. Yan Chenghan's face also looked a little better. Including the first battalion commander Gu Xingguo and instructor Yang Maode were both the most confidant people of the regiment commander Yan Chenghan.
When Yan Chenghan was the squad leader, they were the big soldiers. When Yan Chenghan became the platoon leader, they were the squad leader and the squad deputy. Yan Chenghan became the company commander, and these two were the platoon leader and the deputy platoon leader.
It can be said that every time Yan Chenghan is promoted, these two people are promoted. This time, Yan Chenghan came here, and they were these two people and the Chief of Staff.
"Okay! Stop talking about anything, Commander Gu, Chief of Staff Yang. You two hand over to us, I'll go to the first battalion now."
Yan Chenghan's face was not good-looking, and Gu Xingguo and instructor Yang Maode suddenly stood up and shouted in unison: "Captain! What are you saying?! In our hearts, you are the leader! We won't recognize anyone else!"
"That's what you mean!" Guo Anhe, the commander of the Second Battalion, also stood up and said in a deep voice: "I think the disciplinary action at the headquarters is a symbolic one. Commander, don't go to the first battalion. Order command. It's not a matter of one or two battles to kill with your ability?!"
Now, the centripetal force came out. Yan Chenghan's actions were obvious to all, and he never deviated from doing things. The entire team of commands was extremely convinced, but everyone also knew that this was a punishment made by the headquarters because the shore defense did not make any arrangements.
In order to warn the entire army, there must be no sloppy in defense.
"Captain, I, Lao Gu, are sincerely impressed by your command of the battle! If you want you to go to the First Battalion, I will go to the First Company as the company commander immediately! Whoever loves the position of the regiment commander will do it!"
"Nothing! Gu Xingguo, you are all the soldiers of the National Defense Forces! You are not the king of grass, do you still need military discipline?!" Feng Wenyao cursed at Gu Xingguo: "Okay! I will go to the first battalion with the regiment commander. If you have any questions, you can go to us. The headquarters' orders must be implemented. Otherwise, they will look like something."
Feng Wenyao's words set the tone for this matter. Yan Chenghan was obviously very satisfied with Feng Wenyao's handling and Gu Xingguo and others' attitude.
He nodded and smiled at his old partner: "Old Feng, let's go back and experience the old army! I haven't charged for a long time, and my hands are itchy..."
"Old Yan, it's not that I'm talking about you! The problem of lobbying the formation is just that I can't be changed. I've studied in the senior command department of the National Defense University in vain?! The commander-in-chief asked you to learn to command operations, not to let you use a gun to kill the enemy..."
Feng Wenyao persuaded with a wry smile, while Yan Chenghan waved his hand impatiently and dragged Su Haoxuan out of the command center. Seeing this, Feng Wenyao could only follow with a wry smile.
Yan Chenghan was depressed because of his military rank and position, but the Japanese army outside Nanjing was depressed because they could not make progress on Nanjing's fortifications.
The losses of the counterattack yesterday were counted in the morning, and the entire Japanese army was furious! The positions on all sides lost a total of more than 8,000 troops of more than 8,000 troops, and the positions originally occupied were lost.
During the attack of the National Defense Force, three brigade captains and five squadron captains died in battle. Major General Shan Digeng, the corps leader of the 113th Regiment, apologized for a paternity. The entire Japanese army was full of anger and they could not kill them.
Because the commander-in-chief Lieutenant General Asakamiya Hirohiko asked all troops to temporarily stop attacking, and at the same time sent reconnaissance aircraft to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the situation in Nanjing.
At the same time, the General Staff was ordered to make a new offensive plan and let the Intelligence Department collect all information about the Nanjing troops. The Japanese army temporarily stopped the attack, but these wild beasts were constantly raging outside Nanjing!
"Help..." An old man with a pale face ran out of the town full of fire, but was immediately caught up by a ferocious Japanese army riding a war horse wielding a sabre!
"Puchi..." With a sound, the old man's terrified head flew into the air. The headless corpse struggled and ran for a few steps, and finally fell to the ground with a "puff!"...
Chapter completed!
