Chapter 58: Triumph (2)
. Hearing that the New 27th Army headquarters had entered Baoshan territory, Cheng Jiaji did not dare to neglect. He ignored the greeting ceremony of the superiors and subordinates in the officialdom and must go out to travel ten miles. He was still in this way. The officers above the New 188th Division, who were originally Xia Weimin's direct subordinate, were all accompanied by them. Even County Magistrate Ji, who had just heard that Cheng Jiaji and the New 27th Army commander were close relatives, came to make up for his merits. It should be said that this county magistrate could do his job.
He was quite strong. In just one night, he not only raised dozens of live pigs and 100,000 kilograms of rice, but also organized and dispatched a large number of people to arrive at Shiliting Pavilion in the south of the city early in the morning to warmly welcome this heroic unit that he had only despised as the Beggar Army yesterday, which he had made great achievements in the Central Plains battlefield. It once again showed that the counties in Yunnan, which had not been stolen by the war, were richer than the provinces in the war zone that were deeply troubled by the enemy and us.
The welcome of tens of thousands of people is undoubtedly touching. In fact, the existence of female foreign students who shave their ears and short hair and shout neat slogans is enough to make the officers and soldiers of the New Twenty-Seventh Army, who have not received such treatment for a long time, cheer up and strive to make a mighty and majestic look.
The troops were strode towards the county town, but Cheng Jiaji and Xia Weimin, the uncle who had not met for many years, sent away the laughing and hymns of the county officials, and then left the brigade with a few guards and light chariots.
Later, a quiet rural teahouse, a very quiet distance from the avenue, arrived with the joint team of two lieutenant generals, ushering in the most glorious moment since its opening.
As soon as the two sat down, Xia Weimin, who looked a little depressed because of his frown and expressionless face, sighed and said, "Haoran, I have decided to resign to the Military Commission in a few days."
Although I had long expected that Xia Weimin, who looked sad, could not wait to call herself to talk to her separately, and the matters she talked about would never be small.
But at first hearing that Xia Weimin was in his prime, he was about to retreat bravely. Cheng Jiaji was shocked and sweated coldly. 1^6^k^Xiao^Talk^Net even became stupid. He called his brother-in-law and could no longer speak. To his heart, Cheng Jiaji has always been in the fifth place for this brother-in-law who has given him a lot of support. It can be said that without Xia Weimin, there would be no Cheng Jiaji today, and there would be no new 20th army that always makes the Chinese people proud with their actual results. More importantly, Cheng Jiaji at this moment urgently needs the guidance of Xia Weimin, who is sleek and sophisticated in politics. After all, in China today, the higher the status of a soldier, the more troops it is under. The intersection with politics will become more frequent. This is an unavoidable reality!
"In fact, the idea of resolving the armor and returning to the field came into being after it emerged from Zhongtiao Mountain last year." Xia Wei's civilians were obviously extremely uneasy. He said in a dream-like tone: "I have fought in the south for more than 20 years. I have never fought hard for the victory and defeat, but I have never been defeated so thoroughly like the Zhongtiao Mountain in the battle. I lost so poorly! Three divisions and more than ten regiments! There are also a perfect defense system to rely on, but as soon as the war started, I was beaten by a gang of Japanese soldiers and three or four hundred airborne troops. I finally stabilized my position and could counterattack the Japanese.
But guess what, in just half a day, the defense lines of several soldiers were opened by others, and groups of shells hit the heads of the troops charging towards the hilltop occupied by the Japanese army, destroying my two main groups within ten minutes! Then they fought and fled all the way. The embarrassing moment I blushed when I said that, the baggage, officers and relatives, and all the wounded were thrown away. I heard from the people who escaped from the mountains that were all over the mountains and fields, and the women were... "Xia Weimin was speechless and covered her face and cried.
"Brother-in-law, there is no need to do this. When fighting, victory and defeat are common. We will keep all the sins done by the Japanese devils in China. When the time comes, we will pay them back together with the capital and interests. I firmly believe that the day when the Chinese army's military boots step on the Japanese mainland will not be too far away! Then my brother-in-law and I will lead an army to gallop across Jiuzhou, four countries, and drink horses at the foot of Futu Mountain. Only then can we live up to the life aspirations of a man and not fall into the strong power of China!" Cheng Jiaji, who was staring with his eyes wide and gritting his teeth, sincerely and passionately comforted Xia Weimin...
"A good man's life ambition, a good Chinese strong power! Well said! Haoran, although I dare not call him a person who is as big as Mr. Zeng Wenzheng, I have a lot of experience in evaluating people. I only have completely seen you. But the one who left is not unfair. There is another person in this world who can think of the rampant Nan'an four or five years ago, and everyone is looking at him. Today, there is such ambition! What is particularly rare is that you still have the ability and opportunity to make this promise!" Although the blood in your heart was boiling, Xia Weimin, who was willing to leave, did not want to change his original intention at all: "Haoran, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I am deeply indifferent to commanding the battle. Instead of being a corpse and a misleading country or a military force, it is better to go back to southern Zhejiang to do something practical, and live the remaining days with your sister. But the New Twenty-Seventh Army is probably going to drag you down!"
"What's the matter with my brother-in-law? If I give me a full army, it would be a drag. The people in this world who want to be dragged down by you will be in the sea!" Cheng Jiaji, who knew that he was irreversible, tried hard to talk about the heavy atmosphere at the scene.
"Haoran, I'm still fond of you and your brother-in-law. I know whether it's a burden." Xia Weimin pointed to the military brigade rolling south and said: "Thirty thousand people look like a lot, but 70% of them are recruits who have only been replenished this year, and I haven't even seen a decent battle. In addition, the army has accumulated deep problems, the curtain is heavy, and the combat power is getting worse. Even the commanders of the divisions that could still fight hard in their early years were trying hard to make money and are busy managing their own way of retreat. My heart has long been no longer on the battlefield. If I were in your position, I wouldn't even want this garbage trash unit that would not even disturb the people! You are now a famous general, don't tell you how to imagine this festival? I'm afraid you are sleeping all night!
The cunning Xia Weimin was beaten and beaten, and Cheng Jiaji pointed out the little thoughts in his stomach. He smiled embarrassedly while wondering in his heart that Xia Weimin's desire to retreat should only be a year ago, but the various disadvantages in the New Twenty-Seventh Army were all chronic diseases for many years. He was as insightful as to why he didn't make great efforts to rectify it before?
Xia Weimin, who noticed the doubts in Cheng Jiaji's eyes, continued, "Haoran! You don't know. The knot in Henan is still the territory of the Chinese. But the Japanese army came whenever they want, and left when they want, and was very arrogant. The most hateful thing is the bastard who helped Shudian forget his ancestors and recognized the thief as his father. He brought Wang Jingwei's appointment letter and box of gold bars under your nose every day, and you can't catch him. There are more and more people who are active these days. Not to mention anything else, just the dozen divisions and regiment commanders under my command, at least five or six. I have always kept correspondence with old friends in Nanjing. I just pulled and coaxed them, and scared them to drag the team over. I couldn't come any more, so I dared to stimulate them!" Although what Xia Weimin said today was his heartfelt words, it was also a one-person statement. It was both a one-person statement and a subjective conjecture. Objectively speaking, if he, the leader of the army, could not stand upright, the people below would be so decayed! Of course, in the anti-Japanese war, Xia Weimin could still be as heart-warming as a rock and unshakable.
"Brother-in-law, I dare not stop you from going home. But you have to help me again!" Thinking that this family was so common, Cheng Jiaji finally showed up.
"Don't worry about this. When the situation stabilizes further, the troops will be reorganized. I'll take charge of you. If anyone dares to make trouble, kill a group of them. If it fails, find some reasons to deal with those who are dissatisfied with Nanjing and kill a group of them. After these two rounds of killing, few people should dare to disobey your orders. If the combat effectiveness of the troops cannot be improved, after I leave, you might as well just form all the veterans in the troops who cannot be transformed into one, two regiments, and find opportunities to fight.
Just pull it! You only need to work hard for a few more months to return the more than 20,000 people you have separated. It should not be a big problem. But what kind of people can be like depends on your own ability!" After all, the words "Tumbler" who has been in power for half a lifetime, and the words "Tumbler" and "Charity" are so obvious in Xia Weimin. The three consecutive words "kill" and the last killing of someone with a knife made Cheng Jiaji feel terrified: The heart of this elder brother-in-law is much more cruel than mine!
After finalizing the major policies and guidelines for reorganizing the New Twenty-Seventh Army with Xia Weimin, Cheng Jiaji, who always cared about the safety of the main force of the New Twenty-Seventh Army, only accompanied Xia Weimin to walk slowly for two days, then hurried back to Lashio. On the day of arriving in Lashio, he flew directly to Idgang, India by the Flying Tigers.
In fact, Cheng Jiaji didn't have to be worried. During the Battle of Tonggu, Zhongyuan Ruyi, who had concentrated his troops to attack the east but failed, was not a fool. From the moment he learned that the Japanese army invaded Myanmar suffered an unprecedented defeat, he realized that unless reinforcements could flow from the sea, the end of the Japanese army waiting for the Indian land could be destroyed under the attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the British army, which was about to move the focus of the combat west.
The telegram from Chittagong requested the increase of troops was quickly rejected by the Japanese's long-term problem of insufficient troops, which was troubled by the Japanese.
Fortunately, the Tokyo Base Camp, which was eager to shrink its troops, also made instructions with Gu to prepare for the entire evacuation of the Indian Front troops.
So, from the afternoon of July 24, more than 50,000 Japanese troops who had assembled in the suburbs of Chittagong and the urban area were under the cover of the warships and aircraft carriers that arrived the day before, and successively boarded the transport ships that arrived only at noon that day.
During this process, the process was accompanied by the full attack on Chittagong by the Chinese and British armies and the massive retreat of mad artillery bombardment, which lasted for five days, and in the end only 43,691 Japanese troops withdrew from India.
