Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 71: Public Sacrifice

() Nanjing's decision to award rewards had to be notified throughout the army, so soon Chen Feng was promoted to lieutenant general, and the news that the 222nd division was promoted to a first-class division spread throughout most of China.And this reward decision is also the first positive response from the national government after Zixing and the great victory. This response undoubtedly proves that the news of the great victory of Xinghe is correct and reliable.

Unlike the cheering cheers of the entire Chinese people, at this time Chen Feng was suffering from a headache. Looking at the telegrams from the Nationalist government and the World War II zone, Chen Feng had one head and two big ones.Needless to say, the telegram from Nanjing, who doesn't want to get promoted and get rich, but in the end, Lao Jiang insisted that Song Mengyao be sent to Saibei, which changed the whole thing.

What kind of bullshit life secretary, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is Lao Jiang's conspiracy for Chen Feng, it's a beauty trick.But the arm couldn't twist the thigh, knowing that, Chen Feng couldn't refuse.Not to mention that this Miss Song was originally from a prominent background. Although she was only an illegitimate daughter, her status in the Song family was no worse than that of the three genuine young ladies. On the contrary, because of her illegitimate daughter, the three Song sisters Madam Jiang kept her by her side all the year round. Can I provoke such a person?

In addition, Lao Jiang ordered to notify himself, which shows that he is serious and determined, and he has no chance to refuse.Moreover, Lao Jiang's practice of using women to win over and control senior officers has a long history. Since they are not direct troops but want to be reused, they have to accept Lao Jiang's surveillance and control.

The veteran's actions undoubtedly stimulated Yan Laoxi. After reading the telegram from Nanjing, Old Yan quit.You, Bald Jiang, are blatantly poaching the wall, getting promoted, getting rich and gifting women, using all means.

很快二战区长官部也拟定了一份奖励计划,任命陈锋为绥远省第二行政督察专区主任,掌管丰镇、集宁、凉城、兴和、陶林、商都6县区的军政大权。同时调拨中正式步枪三千支、轻重机枪50挺、冲锋枪150支、大洋30万给222师。

These are nothing, who would not be happy to give officials money and equipment, but the terrible thing is that Fu Zuoyi, the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army, personally sent a telegram to Chen Feng, saying that Marshal Yan's niece and his fiancée Yan Changxi will arrive in Xinghe soon, Take care of his daily life and let him have a good reception.

Not to mention that there are already two women in his family, and he also heard that his old mother is in contact with his uncle, and wants to take his cousin Tana with him, and it would be too bad to have two more.

But the fact is like this, he is obviously not willing, but he can't refuse, there are big fish on both sides, who will pay attention to the wishes of himself, a small shrimp.

"Master, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Zhu *de of the Communist Party of China have sent congratulatory messages to congratulate our army on an unprecedented victory." Chief of Staff Yang Yi said as he entered the door with a message.

Taking the telegram in Yang Yi's hand, Chen Feng looked at it carefully. It was sent directly from Yan'an. In the telegram, he highly praised the 222 Division, calling it a role model for the country's pillars and soldiers. The last signature of the telegram was Mao , Zhou, Zhu.

After reading the telegram, Chen Feng was a little embarrassed. There are really not many people who can be called the pillars of the country by these great gods.What's more, because of my own appearance, the status of the historically important Pingxingguan victory has become insignificant. You must know that the historical Pingxingguan victory is the first military victory in the history of our army, breaking the myth that the Japanese army is invincible .

After the war, Jiang Zhongzheng, the leader of the Nationalist government, sent two telegrams to congratulate Jiamian. Various political parties and organizations in the country sent congratulatory telegrams. The media in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia also reported the victory of the 18th Division of the No. 115 Army.

Moreover, the great victory at Pingxingguan in history was of great significance. At that time, the Songhu battle on the southern front had been in a stalemate, and the Chinese army suffered heavy casualties.Baoding, Shijiazhuang and other big cities, Pinghan, and large tracts of land in the northern section of Jinpu Road fell rapidly, and Yan Xishan's Jin army also lost troops and lost ground one after another.In the battle of Pingxingguan, more than a thousand Japanese troops were wiped out cleanly, which was the first major victory of the Chinese army since the National War of Resistance.Therefore, the Kuomintang government said: "This is an unprecedented victory for the Chinese army on the Pingsui line." This blow was particularly heavy on the Japanese army, and it was also particularly meaningful.

And its more significant significance is that it greatly inspired the anti-Japanese fighting spirit of the people across the country. As Xu Fanting, then chairman of the Field Mobilization Committee of the Second Theater of the Kuomintang, pointed out: the special significance of the Pingxingguan Battle "is that it broke the The imperial army' myth of invincibility boosts our morale."

Secondly, the Pingxingguan battle dealt a severe blow to the Japanese army. It not only broke the Japanese army's strategic attempt to break through Pingxingguan, attack the troops in the second theater of China, and cooperate with the Japanese army's main force in North China to fight on Pinghan Road from the right wing, but also frustrated the Japanese army's advance to the hinterland of Shanxi. The momentum of the in-depth offensive dampened the spirit of the Japanese army, making it afraid to go further rashly, providing an opportunity for the Chinese side to deploy the Xinkou Battle, and thus effectively supporting the Chinese frontal army in the war of resistance.

But now due to the appearance of Chen Feng, Pingxingguan's record of annihilating more than 2 enemies is the same as that of [-]

The 22nd Division wiped out more than [-] enemies, which is nothing compared to the day, so this battle was subconsciously ignored at home and abroad, but the World War II District Chief Department sent a congratulatory message without any pain, and added some ammunition.

"Sent a report to the CCP in Yan'an, congratulating the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army on its great victory at Pingxingguan. In addition, we mobilized a batch of weapons and equipment from the spoils seized this time and sent them to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, saying that our 222nd Division supported them." Chen Feng said .

"Master, it's nothing to send a congratulatory message, but if you send weapons and equipment, I'm afraid it will make the Nanjing side unhappy. The teacher also knows that the Nanjing side and the Yan'an man have been at odds, and they fought you to death two years ago. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have cooperated Yes, but how long this cooperation can last is still unknown, and our sending equipment to the Eighth Route Army will definitely cause dissatisfaction in Nanjing." Yang Yi said with a frown.

"Who asked you to send it to us? Let the special forces go there. You don't need to go to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. It will be sent to the headquarters of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi. It is relatively close to us and the road is safe."

"How many weapons and equipment will the master plan to send, you can give an approximate amount!" Yang Yi said.

"In this way, the three divisions under the Eighth Route Army are all Class B divisions, and each regiment has about 2000 people. You will give them 20 pieces of 10 large caps, 100 light and heavy machine guns, 100 grenades, and grenades. Don’t take that thing too big, send more ammunition, [-] million rounds of rifle ammunition, [-] million rounds of machine gun ammunition, that’s it, that’s it!”

Yang Yi not only clicked his tongue when he heard this, but the teacher seat is really generous, as soon as he made a move, it was the equipment of a regiment. A few months ago, in order to equip the security regiment, Chen Feng almost wiped out the old man's family fortune. It has only been a few months. You can easily take out a regiment's equipment as a gift.

"Master, there is one more thing to report to you. Many reporters have come to Xinghe in the past few days, and they all have approval documents from Nanjing or Taiyuan. They hope to conduct an interview with you. Do you want to meet them?"

"Well, so, don't we hold a funeral for the soldiers who died in battle tomorrow? After the funeral, I will meet with them collectively at our headquarters. The chief of staff will take more care of this matter." Chen Feng said.

"no problem!"

Yan'an. The seat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

Although it was late, the lights in Mao Weiren's cave were still on, and the voices of high and low conversations could be faintly heard inside.

There were 5 people sitting in the room. If Chen Feng were here, he would definitely recognize 4 of them. Needless to say, Mao Weiren, if you pick out a random Chinese, you would know everyone. Then there are Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander Zhu and In Ren *bishi's time, the remaining one was quite well-known, but he didn't show up very much. He was the person in charge of the CCP's intelligence.

"Kenong, is the news reliable?" The strong Hunan accent made the voice appear thick.

"Chairman, the news came from Xinghe, and it came from within the 222 Division, so it should be reliable." Li Kenong replied.

"Is there someone from us in Division 222?" the chairman asked again.

"Well, there are still a lot of people, but most of them are medical personnel, and there are no people from us in the combat troops."

"How much do you know about Mr. Chen Ke Nong? Since this Mr. Chen will give us weapons and equipment, it means that he has a good impression of our Eighth Route Army, and we will have to deal with him in the future, but we don't treat him at all now. I don’t understand, this is not necessary.” This time it was Commander-in-Chief Zhu who spoke.

"We have done a detailed investigation on Mr. Chen, and found that he is very contradictory. How can we say this? This Mr. Chen came from a rich merchant family. His father is the largest grain merchant and fur merchant in the four northern provinces, and his mother is the fourth son Wang. The youngest daughter of the tribal leader, Mr. Chen never went to military academy or university. He dropped out of a middle school in Beiping two years ago and returned home. Until a few months ago, Mr. Chen was still a local playboy, Every day, he hangs around the brothels and halls, makes a noise, and even commits evil deeds such as robbing civilian girls in the street. In March this year, he served as the chief of the security regiment and city defense commander of Xinghe County, Suiyuan Province through his relationship, and officially became a military officer. But what really attracted people's attention was that a few months ago he wiped out the Saibei caravan with a security regiment for more than 20 years. It was completely wiped out, and some of our armed forces were also wiped out by him as bandits. At the beginning of this month, the Japanese Army Chahar sent a corps to attack Tianzhen. Chen Feng led his troops to reinforce Tianzhen and achieved a great victory in Tianzhen, annihilating 222 Japanese and puppet troops The rest of them also shot and killed Major General Sakai Koji of the Japanese Army. His security regiment was immediately promoted to the 21th Brigade of the Jinsui Army, and was quickly promoted to the current 2 Division. On the 3st of this month, the Japanese Army ** mixed into the second The brigade and several cavalry divisions of the puppet army besieged Xinghe County with nearly 3 people, intending to wipe it out in one fell swoop, but it took only five days for the commander Chen to completely wipe out the Japanese puppet army, annihilating [-] More than [-] people also shot and killed Lieutenant General Kihide Abe, head of the Second Brigade of the Japanese Army's mixed brigade, and achieved a great victory." Li Kenong slowly shared the information they had collected about Chen Feng.
