Chapter 150 Bloody Battle of Changjin Lake (51)
Yao Ziqing decided to do this after his own comprehensive consideration. In fact, why did Yao Ziqing say those things just now? It was because they wanted to legitimate Wang Mingyu's reputation. Why did they do so much that they were suspected in the end?
Yao Ziqing was born in the Kuomintang, and he had the most experience. If it weren't for Wang Mingyu at that time, would they still have a chance to survive? Therefore, this life was given by others, so no matter what the result was, they didn't want others to talk about Wang Mingyu.
This is a mentality of protecting one's calf. Of course, Wang Mingyu actually doesn't care much about these things. Wang Mingyu was reborn. Under such good conditions, if he wants to do something, what can't he do?
In fact, when Wang Mingyu went to Myanmar, he also wanted to establish independence in Myanmar, so that he could not only avoid the ultimate dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but also have a small country. Why not do it?
But Wang Mingyu finally gave up on this idea. You will become independent after taking the troops out like this. What do you think about others? Although Wang Mingyu has the ability and confidence to govern Myanmar well, this was not adopted in the end.
Actually, do Wang Mingyu regret it now? Of course, there is one thing. Which man doesn’t want to wake up and control the world and lie on the knees of a beautiful woman drunk? Wang Mingyu is also a human being, and has seven emotions and six desires.
However, Wang Mingyu had restraint and had quite good restraint. He had thoughts about such a thing in his mind, but in the end, Wang Mingyu obeyed the national justice.
In fact, if Wang Mingyu had been independent in Myanmar at that time, he could have resisted Japan. But this would be unreasonable. Moreover, although Wang Mingyu thought so, he always felt that the time was not very ripe.
However, opportunities are fleeting. Since you have lost them, don’t regret it. Now Wang Mingyu is just thinking about beating Americans. Of course, he could have the idea back then, but it’s not illegal to think about it, right?
Yao Ziqing is now going to give the winter cotton coat that originally belonged to their soldiers to the Ninth Corps. This is a kind of kindness for the Ninth Corps. You must know that if there were no such cotton coat, how many people would die in the end?
Frozen to death is far more terrifying to them than to die. Now that there are so many cotton coats, at least one soldier of the army doesn't have cotton coats. In fact, not everyone in the Ninth Corps does not have cotton coats.
But now there is not even half of them. How many people are there in the Ninth Corps? More than 60,000 people, but now only one-third of the people with cotton coats are one-third. One-third, this proportion is too small.
Song Shilun's eyes were all red. It would be impossible to say that he would not envy others' equipment, but they were here to help them fight. Is it appropriate for you to ask others for things all the time? Obviously it is inappropriate.
Song Shilun never expected that Yao Ziqing came to him today to talk about this matter. What else could he say besides touching him? In fact, this is just something Yao Ziqing wants to say by the way, and the real thing he wants to say has not started to be said.
At this time, Liu Fei stood up and bowed deeply to Yao Ziqing. This was representing the 20th Army, the Ninth Corps, and the soldiers.
Liu Fei's shoulders were trembling at this moment, obviously a little uncontrollable, but he still refused to look up and kept bent over. Yao Ziqing hurried over and said, "Captain Liu, what do you mean?"
Liu Fei choked and said, "On behalf of my 20th Army, I thank Commander Yao for his generous gift. I really... I really... I can't repay you!"
Yao Ziqing patted Liu Fei on the shoulder and said, "Justice Liu is such a bad word. This is just right for me. Of course, it's considered urgent. If the soldiers freeze something, at least I can't bear it? Everyone is human, why should we hold two sets of cotton coats? But you don't have one? So I think my approach is right, and this is also our commander explained to me. He said that if the people from the Ninth Corps don't have cotton coats, I will give you the spare ones!"
Song Shilun slapped the table and said, "Whoever dares to tinker with Deputy Commander Wang Mingyu in the future, I will kill him with one shot!" At this moment, Song Shilun was completely convinced, he was moved, and he was impressed.
Yao Ziqing said: "If Commander Song agrees, I will order the soldiers to hand over the cotton coats, and then you will discuss a plan and distribute it to the soldiers as soon as possible, so that some people can be frozen less!"
Song Shilun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go after we finish the meeting!" Song Shilun was actually very anxious, but what can I do if I'm anxious? At least let others finish their words? It's been frozen for a long time, and it's not a short time. This is what Song Shilun thinks now, so Song Shilun is not in a hurry now. Yao Ziqing is right to think about it, and he is not in a hurry anyway.
Yao Ziqing said: "By the way, we still have a lot of American canned foods, all of which are seized spoils. What I mean is to take out some of them to improve the food for our soldiers of the Ninth Corps and reduce the hot dishes, hot rice and broth. Our soldiers are already bitter enough. With the best of their ability, we should try our best to improve their quality of life!"
Song Shilun quickly stood up and said, "This... how can this be used? This is your food. If you give it to us, what will you eat in the future?"
Yao Ziqing said: "We can't watch you eat cold steamed buns, are we eating meat there? This is not our style, nor is it my Yao Ziqing's style. Either eat meat together or eat cold steamed buns together, there is absolutely no third possibility!"
Yao Ziqing is very stubborn, which is also the personality of Yao Ziqing. But his stubbornness makes people feel very comfortable and respectful. Song Shilun is like this at this time. Now it is impossible for him to not be grateful to Yao Ziqing.
This kind of dedication is hard to see. In the past, it was said that the 18th Army was arrogant to win battles. But now it seems that people are not only not arrogant, but also very polite, so polite that they are embarrassed to be embarrassed.
Song Shilun might not be able to do it himself. He thought this was something that Wang Mingyu took out personally, so he had the right not to take it out. But he took it out without any hesitation.
In order to avoid accepting others, they were even threatening themselves. In fact, Song Shilun didn't know where he or she would. If he didn't agree, he would be the same as what he or she would eat.
Since there is an opportunity to improve the food, they actually don’t want to let it go. To be honest, as the commander, now he only has vegetable soup every day, and such food is really bad.
Now it's on the battlefield, where can I get so many things for you to eat? So it's already great to be able to eat some vegetable soup. This is not comparable to people, and if the gap is compared, it will be revealed.
Look at the remaining canned food in the 18th Army. Of course, this is the spoils after they make great achievements. Even if you are jealous, you will not be jealous. Of course, Song Shilun knew this, and Song Shilun was very clear. If it weren't for this reason, the 18th Army might not be very good.
In fact, Song Shilun was wrong. If it weren't for this, the 18th Army's food would be bad, but these canned foods were very easy to store and are also easy to carry.
That's why they can preserve it very well. Of course, it's winter now, and even meat or something is not easy to get broken. Yao Ziqing's purpose is to improve their food.
Only when the food is improved can everyone be strong. Yao Ziqing said: "Commander Song, don't be polite. I think these are all minor details, and it is not impossible for the soldiers to taste it. The most important thing is that we must win a big victory. Only in this way can we completely improve the morale of our army, grasp our key well, and drive away the invaders."
Song Shilun nodded and said, "Well, then I would like to thank Commander Yao, the entire Ninth Corps. We will always remember your friendship. Even if no one is on the side of the 18th Corps, don't forget that the Ninth Corps is always on your side."
Yao Ziqing smiled and said, "We are not gangs. In fact, we will do this when facing any unit. This is what our commander has explained before, so Commander Song should not be under any pressure."
Of course, Song Shilun has no pressure now, because his pressure has been said to be gone. Now, only by fighting the Americans well can Song Shilun repay the 18th Army.
But then again, the 18th Army was much more powerful than its own troops in war. Yao Ziqing said: "I will talk about the important matters. I want to wipe out all this group of Americans and attack them with arrogance. However, this plan still requires your cooperation. I wonder if you have any good opinions or doubts?"
Song Shilun heard it and said: "There is no doubt about it. They are only less than 10,000 people, and there are nearly 20,000 people in the 18th Corps. Our Corps is fully capable of eating them! But their planes and tanks are a bit difficult to deal with!"
Yao Ziqing smiled and said, "Commander Song should not be worried about tanks. This time, we brought dozens of tanks to us. The Americans don't have so many tanks to use. We have the ability to intercept them! As for the planes? There is no need to worry. We have a complete range of air defense facilities. If we limit these two things, then your advantages can be exerted."
Song Shilun excitedly said: "If both of these are solved, then we will definitely have no problem. We will definitely guard you well!"
Yao Ziqing said: "The commander just sent me a power and asked me to discuss it with Commander Song. Of course, I know that there is still a gap between me and Commander Song at my level, so I actually have some... "
Song Shilun smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this at all. We understand the principle that the strong are respected on the battlefield. Besides, we are all Chinese volunteers. As long as we win a battle, I am happy to be a soldier."
Yao Ziqing laughed and said, "Commander Song is indeed quick to speak. This time, if you want to wipe them out, of course you have to plan carefully. At present, these people are concentrated on the north shore. The main force of the Ninth Corps is concentrated on the south shore. Actually, I think this layout is a bit inappropriate. Because we should mainly guard the north shore instead of the south shore. So what I mean is that we send a division of troops to station on the north shore, and the remaining thousands of troops on the south shore are cooperating with your troops on the south shore. This forms a situation of attacking north and south, so we can also calmly deploy it."
Song Shilun also blushed and said, "Actually, we thought the Americans were only one division's troops. I don't think they dare to attack us. You have to know that we have 60,000 troops in a corps. But I didn't expect that these Americans were very brave!"
Yao Ziqing said: "In fact, our combat effectiveness is generally lower than that of Americans, which is a very normal amount. It is called physical fitness. Americans canned beef every meal, but what about us? Hehe, cold steamed buns, this is the gap."
Song Shilun said: "Our country is in difficulties now and there is no way. But today we have to open foreign meat. Haha, it is also thanks to Commander Yao's blessing. I have the confidence to open the warriors! Commander Yao's meaning is very good. In fact, I think with the strength of the 18th Army, we can completely annihilate this American land combat division!"
Yao Ziqing also nodded and said, "I am certainly confident in annihilation of them, but what I want is the lowest casualties. If ten thousand people die and the group of people are finally destroyed, I think it is better not to fight! So I beg Commander Song to take us as the main force!"
Song Shilun said: "There is absolutely no problem with this. We had some misunderstandings before, but now I am convinced. I am not arrogant and competitive. Everything is for the purpose of fighting the American devils!"
Yao Ziqing saluted Song Shilun. In fact, Yao Ziqing knew that if it weren't for the previous effects, Song Shilun wouldn't have agreed so well. And these must be passed. If Song Shilun firmly disagrees, this plan must be re-run, which is very depressing.
So it can be solved well now. To be honest, Yao Ziqing is also very comfortable. If these people are handed over to the 18th Corps, then Yao Ziqing will definitely not hesitate, but now there is one more seasonal change in the middle, which is not very wonderful.
Yao Ziqing said: "Okay, I'll go back to the staff to formulate the specific combat plan, and then let me show you how to Commander Song and you all, haha! Now we'll distribute the cotton coats and let the soldiers have a meal of meat to eat at night!"
Song Shilun and others were also smiling happily. He was very pleased with this. After all, these soldiers were their own soldiers. (To be continued)
