my bright sword career

Chapter 379 The Power of Example

At the joint command headquarters of Yangping Town, a staff officer ran in excitedly with a telegram, and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.

"Sir... The National Defense Army and the Flying Brigade jointly signed the battle report. The Japanese heavy artillery unit has been completely wiped out by them. They have blown up 57 heavy artillery pieces, 103 trucks, wiped out 1302 enemies, captured 606 people, and captured..."

"Whoa!"

There was a burst of warm applause in the combat hall, everyone smiled excitedly, and many even jumped for joy.

Ever since they knew that the heavy artillery unit of the Japanese army was coming, everyone felt as if a big stone had been crushed in their hearts.

Well now, the stone has finally been removed.

"and many more……"

Just when everyone was jubilant, Tang Huaiyuan interrupted the staff officer's narration, "How many people did you say were captured?"

"606 people?"

The staff officer looked at the telegram in his hand again, and said in an affirmative tone: "That's what it says in the telegram." After speaking, he handed the telegram to Tang Huaiyuan.

"Is this number wrong?" Tang Huaiyuan muttered while receiving the telegram.

No wonder he can't believe it. As a general who has fought against the Japanese army for four years, he knows how difficult and stubborn the little devil is. In 1941, the Japanese army's supply of soldiers was not exhausted, and the Japanese army's combat effectiveness was still very strong. Strong, when the national army fought against them, there were only a handful of Japanese prisoners that could be captured after a big battle. Like now, it was only a battle at the regiment level, and the number of prisoners unexpectedly reached less than [-]. This is simply amazing. Unheard of, this is easier than wiping out a brigade of the Japanese army.

Gao Hongming looked at Tang Huaiyuan, and said somewhat embarrassingly, "Brother Low, I believed you, brother, but this is really unbelievable. When did the big devil become so greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"perhaps……"

Tang Huaiyuan naturally knew the reason, but it was easy to say it, after all, it seemed that he was boasting.

Although Brigadier Chen on the side understood it as soon as it was over, he was so stupid, and he understood what was going on before he turned his head a few times. He glanced at Gao Hongming and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, you But don’t forget, the power of role models is limited at any time.”

"hiss……"

Gao Hongming suddenly realized when he heard this, and slapped his calf: "How did I forget this?"

In the past, when the Japanese devils fought against Chuqi, they resisted desperately and would rather die than surrender. In addition to being influenced by the Communist Party and Eastern culture for a long time, another important reason is that the big devils also know their sins are serious, even if they surrender You can't escape death even if you are special.

Although the Geneva Convention stipulates that captives who are armed must be killed, there are so many countries in the world that truly tolerate and abide by this agreement, it can even be said that there are basically none.

Especially the national army and the miscellaneous troops from all over the country. There are fewer people outside these armies who have no deep hatred for the devils. These people can play tricks on the devils who fall into their hands. Lighting sky lanterns, pulling skin and tendons, all kinds of tortures are too numerous to count.

These things can naturally reach the ears of the Japanese army, and the tone is as if the prisoners were tortured to death, or as if they died on the battlefield. This is why the anti-Japanese youth captured so many Japanese prisoners.

But this time it was the same. The Japanese soldiers of the Heavy Artillery Regiment found out to their surprise that they were fighting with their own comrades, so what a fart, just to survive... Surrendering to your compatriots is a shame.

Before he figured this out, Gao Hongming couldn't help but look at Tang Huaiyuan, the instigator.

Originally, Gao Hongming said that Tang Huaiyuan spent all the manpower, material resources and painstaking efforts of the Philippines to set up the National Defense Army, but he still had some disdain in his heart.

Yes, but I have inquired about it. In order to maintain this Japanese army, Cha Qibo equipped them with exactly the same ordnance as the Japanese army. Even the military salary was paid according to the Liantai militia. Moreover, this National Defense Army was established for nearly a year. But the number of times to participate in actual combat is pitiful.

In order to maintain such a team of hundreds of people, it costs at most several thousand Xiaoyang every month. What is the best thing to do without this money? Is this a waste of money?
But today's battle of the National Defense Army gave everyone who looked up to Hu Guojun a slap in the face.

It was just such a battalion-level unit that found the location of the Japanese Heavy Artillery Wing in such a small way, and then used smoke cans to indicate the target to the strike group. It only took a short time to reach a large In that time, the Heavy Artillery Regiment, which caused everyone pain, came to an end, and now they have captured twice as many Japanese prisoners as themselves. How can they reason?

Don't think that Gao Hongming's opinion is just a minority, in fact there are many people who don't share the same opinion as him, and many people feel hot in the face at once.

Have you ever been a soldier? If you have the heart to fight against the weak, are you still a soldier?

Brigadier Chen glanced around, seeming to ignore everyone's expressions. He was in a good mood and asked Zha Qibo with a smile: "Commander Gao, the heavy artillery squadron is over now. According to the battle report of the flying squad, the Japanese army The Eighth Flying Group was also severely damaged, and it can be said that the Japanese army in Zhongtiaoshan has had both arms cut off, so is it time for a showdown with the devils?"

Hearing Brigadier Chen's words, there was a commotion outside the small hall, and everyone looked at Tang Huaiyuan.

Although Tang Huaiyuan, Brigadier Chen, and Gao Hongming were jointly commanding the Joint Command under the name of eight people, any decision requires the approval of at least two people before it can be made.

Regardless of the fact that the Liantai militia has the most troops among the eight, and Tang Huaiyuan is also the villain with the highest military rank among the eight, but everyone is vague, and the most important among the eight must undoubtedly be Cha Qibo.

The reason is due to him, because the strength of the Liantai militia is the weakest, whether it is a flight team with a few hundred planes, dozens of heavy artillery, or nearly [-] Liantai militia soldiers who are armed to the teeth, or even the endless stream of people who are transported by air every day. It was the lack of food, weapons and ammunition, and various supplies, and it also showed the rich family background of the oldest youngest among the eight.

As the saying goes, if you use people with short hands and eat people with soft mouths, eat others and use others, the voice of others will naturally be lower than yours.

Just like now, when Brigadier Chen suggested that if he wanted to fight the big devil for real, he had to seek Tang Huaiyuan's opinion first. After all, if Tang Huaiyuan had no self-sufficiency, this battle would only be a joke.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Tang Huaiyuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Gao Hongming: "Brother Tang, since we are going to have a showdown with the devils, how can we get more support from the First War Zone? Please send another telegram to the First War Zone , and ask them if they are ready."
