Chapter 287 Public and selfless(2/2)
If you do it, some people may not be able to understand it at first, but in the end, everyone will understand it. Therefore, when some people choose to sacrifice for the country, others will see hope in this sacrifice. See
No matter what, there is still a group of people in China who are willing to sacrifice for the country, just like you, Ziyu!"
After listening to the envoy, Wu Peifu was silent for a while. His face was silent, but in his heart, he couldn't calm down for a long time. Facing the envoy, he suddenly found that he had never admired or connected with someone like he did then.
When it comes to replenishing equipment for the troops, a so-called businessman can be so "forgetting personal interests"! How many people can there be in China?
Then the manager said with some excitement.
"We can really defeat the Japanese this time. You don't know how much I suffered when I was abroad. Ziyu, when it comes to technology and making money, you Wu Ziyu is not as good as me, but when it comes to fighting, I
I am a layman. Not only am I not as good as Ziyu, but I am afraid that I am not as good as Ziyu's soldiers. This time, I'll leave it to you!"
Thinking about that meeting with the economic envoy, Wu Peifu still can't calm down in his heart. Compared with the economic envoy, whether it is Cao Kun or Xu Shuzheng, they are too utilitarian. In their eyes, they often only have self-interest, while the economic envoy
What about Sui Shi? From the very beginning, how often have people considered their own interests? Have they considered themselves?
He is just a businessman. Even if he doesn't do anything, how can others criticize him? However, he chose to act responsibly for the country amidst everyone's accusations and confusion.
I am a soldier, if I can't...hey!
A burst of rapid hoofbeats interrupted Wu Peifu's thoughts. Ten seconds later, the messenger on horseback ran in front of him. While reining in the horse and stopping, the messenger performed a military salute.
"Sir, the 11th Regiment is reporting urgently. The 5th Battalion guarding Arashiyama has lost contact with us at 5:10 this afternoon. According to reports from forward soldiers, the 5th Battalion has been bombarded by the Japanese Navy many times, including many battle cannons.
, the remaining troops are still fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, and a bandit cavalry numbering between 500 and 600 has been discovered, with an unknown purpose!"
A few minutes later, another messenger brought new news. The news was obtained from the bandits captured by the vanguard. Different from the last news, this time the news was written on paper. Wu Peifu looked at the paper.
In a simple report of a few hundred words, an extremely tragic scene on the coastline emerged before my eyes.
The deafening shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire echoed in his ears. When a breeze caressed his face, he seemed to smell the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, mixed with the smell of blood. The soldiers were
They persisted under the artillery fire that could level everything in the world, while a group of bandits launched a soul-stirring charge at the most critical moment, which was also the last charge.
Holding the horse's rein tightly, the officers beside Wu Peifu were silent. The brothers of the fifth battalion and a group of bandits who could have been just spectators spent their lives to explain what it means to be Chinese, and also did something for them.
Set an example.
"brigadier……"
Zhou Shaobai, the commander of the 10th Regiment, had slightly red eyes, and his hand that was holding Ma Zong almost bled.
"Give me the order, we must not let the Japanese devils get ashore easily!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of echoes around him. This is a national war! It is also a soldier's luck to die in a national war!
Facing his subordinate's request to fight, Wu Peifu's face changed rapidly, white for a while, red for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth!
"Order the entire army to enter the reserve position. If any unit dares to attack without authorization, the officers will be dismissed from their posts immediately!"
"brigadier!"
When the voice of questioning rang out, Wu Peifu closed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Go up now, are you going to let the Japanese light firecrackers on our brothers and blow them up for fun?"
When studying military affairs in Japan, Wu Peifu once witnessed a naval bombardment. The firepower of a cruiser was more than that of a division. But what about a battleship? A twelve-inch naval gun hit the position, and it could destroy as many as a platoon at a time.
At most half the company's position was reduced to flat ground.
Why does the military headquarters set up the defense line here? Doesn’t the commander know the consequences of allowing the Japanese troops to land easily? No! Xu Shuzheng knows better than anyone. He also knows that an army position without coastal defense artillery will face an attack from the navy.
, what will happen, that's why this line of defense was set up. On this line of defense, the navy is limited by its range and cannot provide fire support to the offensive forces. Only in this way can it be possible to bring the battle situation to a situation conducive to defense.
What's more, the military commander over there has promised that they will do everything possible to attack the Japanese warships. As long as they hold the defense line, holding the defense line is victory. Although he did not say how to attack the warships at sea, Wu Peifu will not take the military commander's words seriously.
Be in any doubt, he is a man of his word.
"Send out a brigade search company to search for the brothers of the Fifth Division and the brothers of Longshan at all costs and all possible means. Tell those brothers in Longshan that this brigade commander will report his act of loyalty to the country to the commander for the sake of those who died in the battle.
Brothers fight for honor and support!..."
After issuing several orders, Wu Peifu directly rode his horse towards the fields nearby. He had felt his eyes burning before. It was he who told Ma Weijun clearly that there would be no reinforcements!
Withdraw! Those who evacuate without permission will be subject to military law!
This is also an order he gave! This order cuts off all his escape routes!
