Chapter 114: On meritorious deeds

The drizzle in the afternoon brought a burst of mist. Xu Tuan brought Song Yuhang an emergency telegram from the Military Commission, telling Song Yuhang not to clean the battlefield and prepare to welcome the Allied Observation Team and reporters who arrived on November 4th!

Song Yuhang was sensitively aware that the time for commendation to end the war was coming. After reading it, he grabbed the telegram into a group, threw it hard to the ground, turned around and stepped a few times before he could stop! Song Yuhang, who was so angry that he trembled all over and scolded loudly: "Damn it, do you want these damn things to keep soaking the body of the martyr in the mud and water?"

The soldiers who were carrying the bodies to clean the battlefield heard the commander cursing and stood there to watch. Xu Tuan also wanted to persuade him that this might be the chairman's intention. Song Yuhang directly interrupted Xu Tuan and said: "No need to say anything, I understand everything. Leave all the Japanese corpses and clean the battlefield. We must collect the remains of our soldiers! This is an order and a mission."

In the evening, Song Yuhang led a group of people from Kunming Administration to climb the main peak of Taiping Mountain!

"I built a martyr's cemetery on this main peak of Taiping Mountain. The monument carved me with the green blood and heart, and eight big characters that have passed through the ages. The font should be made of gold! The monument should be ten meters high, and all of them are made of bluestone! It will be completed in two weeks!" After Song Yuhang explained, he glanced at the mayor of Kunming City, Chang Fatty, who had been following his butt, the earliest and fastest mayor in Kunming.

Fatty Chang wiped the sweat from his face and hurriedly smiled: "Commander Song, please rest assured, I will do my best to complete the task you assigned!"

Song Yuhang directly chose to ignore such a group of people as Fatty Chang who rushed back to pick fruits and gained qualifications. Such people have been there throughout the dynasties, and Song Yuhang and them couldn't be angry either.

The only thing that Song Yuhang dared not ask about after the fierce battle was the casualties of the troops. He couldn't tell how many troops had been filled in the Kunming defense battle for more than half a month. In the most intense days, it was almost a day when several regiments filled in at a speed. At the worst time, a new temporary regiment opened the main peak position and then fought all out in one morning.

The casualties statistics of the troops sent by Xu Tuan have been on the table for an hour. Song Yuhang stared at the statistical report but had no intention of looking through it. Su Na and Shen Jieyi, who were standing outside the door, looked at each other. Obviously, they were all very obsessed with Song Yuhang's focused expression before.

Su Na looked at Shen Jieyi helplessly and said slowly: "I'm afraid he will really make a fortune after this battle. There will be more and more women around him in the future. You should start as soon as possible to tie his heart!"

After hearing Su Na's words, Shen Jieyi looked at Song Yuhang in the room again, blushed and stomped her feet and ran away.

Although Kunming was desolate after the war, it was actually not damaged much. The main battles in Kunming's defense field took place in the outer positions of the urban area. Many systems such as Chinese defenders' command and logistics were also located in the suburbs of the city accordingly. These deployments played a decisive role in reducing urban damage.

The dead are gone! The living landlords must continue!

In the end, Song Yuhang opened the statistical report on casualties that was so heavy that he was breathless. The report listed the corpses abandoned and cremated on the spot of the Japanese army. Correspondingly, there were more than 78,000 corpses of the fallen soldiers in our area!

According to the statistics reported by various pursuing troops, our army judged that the total number of minor and serious wounded Japanese soldiers should be more than 20,000. The minor and serious wounded Japanese soldiers were more than 30,000. The prisoners of Japanese soldiers and generals and wounded were 1,437. The missing people on our side were 7,655.

Song Yuhang didn't know whether he should be happy or sad about such a proportion of enemy casualties. From a tactical perspective, Song Yuhang created a classic battle in World War II. He simply armed with nearly 200,000 new troops in the temporary army successfully resisted more than 100,000 elite Japanese troops in places with air superiority and firepower advantages, and brought more than half of the Japanese casualties.

But from another perspective, from the Military Commission to Song Yuhang were all shameless executioners. They sent these untrained people directly to the battlefield. The seventh among them were destined to die in the first attack of the Japanese army or under the guns of the military police. They could only learn to fight in battle and survive in battle!

For the survival of the nation and the country, Song Yuhang could only send them to the battlefield with his heart. He still remembers that when the recruits who faced the loess and were facing the sky all day, they often talked about the power of the little Japanese, the power of the plane laying eggs, the power of heavy artillery chariots, and the annoying little hand cannons.

But when the Japanese retreated under the heroic and meaningless counterattack of these soldiers, the new soldiers realized the words that veterans often said: "When you are brave, you are the most powerful!"

After inspecting the field hospital, Song Yuhang walked on the streets of Kunming under the protection of the guards. Since the defenders focused their defense outside the city, no Japanese shells were dropped in Kunming. As the dignitaries and nobles returned one after another, more and more people returned to the city, and nobles became the weather vane for ordinary people.

Just like a bad police and gangster film. Police always appear at the end, and the reinforcements of the National Army finally arrived in Kunming within a few days after the Japanese retreat. These direct troops, local and other troops, without exception, spoke loudly to Song Yuhang, asking for this and that, as if Song Yuhang was their warehouse.

The factional divisions within the national army have long been deeply rooted. Song Yuhang originally took into account the feelings of all parties, fearing that if one day he trapped the lonely city of Jedi, all parties could help. However, after this battle of defense in Kunming, he realized the true faces of some people. These brave guys only advanced dozens of miles a day under Chiang Kai-shek's beheading order?

When Song Yuhang thought of these bigwigs, he shouted in anger: "Don't say I don't have one now. Even if I have a dog, I won't give these bastards!" Soon, Song Yuhang found that dealing with these monsters and monsters with many tricks was even harder than dealing with the three Japanese divisions. He even began to sympathize with Chiang Kai-shek, who always had to intrigue with these people, including the boss behind them.

Kunming has now become a place of glory. Whether it is attached to it or not, they are all squeezing towards Kunming, hoping to gain some benefits.

On November 3, even US President Roosevelt, who was far away from the Pacific Ocean, knew about the success of China's Kunming. Roosevelt said that Kunming's victory allowed allies to see the huge role and potential of China as an allies.

On November 4, the highly anticipated Allied Observation Group and a large number of journalists arrived in Kunming with the personal companion of the Minister of Military Affairs He Yingqin, waiting for the commanders of the 100th Army, the 26th Army, the 37th Army, the 8th Army, the 78th Army and other troops at the airport, as well as the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Guangxi Army and other princes came to greet them. They were gathered in generals. For a time, the small Kunming airport became crowded, and even going to the cottage, they might have to see several generals.

Song Yuhang, the commander of the Kunming garrison guards, was deliberately ignored by selectively. The Ministry of Military Affairs meant that this young general who was incest was afraid that the limelight would steal the limelight from Minister He. Song Yuhang has always been very frank about these false names. He only hopes that Minister He, who is always wary of him, would not interfere even if he is always wary of him in the future.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Sometimes it is not enough for you to be low-key. Today, almost all reporters are coming to Song Yuhang, a legendary young anti-Japanese general. The second successful persistence has made Song Yuhang a famous general in China and even among allies. Especially when the international situation is not conducive to the Allies, the Allies urgently need a hero who can boost morale. And the most valuable thing is Song Yuhang's age and qualifications. In Roosevelt's words, it is a commander who is not yet thirty years old and graduated from an orthodox military academy (Song Yuhang graduated from the fast class) who can deal with Japanese people. What's so scary?

First there was Pearl Harbor, then the Battle of Midway. The US military suffered heavy losses in the Pacific battlefield. The Americans suffered Japanese phobia for a while. Some organizations or speeches in the United States that disappeared after the Pearl Harbor incident were on the rise again. These people and speeches gave Roosevelt a very bad premonition. After all, the United States is a highly democratic and free country. He knew that the freedom and democracy that the United States has always advocated may be the poison of victory during war times.

For this reason, Roosevelt personally went to Stilwell and ordered him to send a large number of American military reporters to interview young people who had created miracles twice in Tonggu and Kunming. On the other hand, he also wanted to confirm to British allies that the weapons and equipment made by the United States were not as unbearable as they said.

Stilwell was very impressed by this young general who quickly rose up, especially Song Yuhang's contact during his visit to India as a special envoy of the chairman. In his opinion, the battle of defense with Gu before that was mostly luck, but this battle of defense in Kunming completely explained the problem. People cannot always rely on luck. When good luck is used up, they still have a clear idea of ​​how much Japanese people are. If the Japanese are really easy to deal with, he should be in Tokyo instead of India now.

Faced with the fact that the people from all sides were making a big spoil for victory, Song Yuhang only made a little response in a low-key manner. Even Xu Tuan reported to him that the 100th Army Column was openly snatching the spoils of the 200th Mechanized Brigade, Song Yuhang just smiled slightly.

In fact, Song Yuhang had his own little plan. Although he seized a lot of weapons, equipment and supplies from the Japanese, he looked down on the Japanese things. It was a pity to be lost as scrap iron. Some people wanted to be good. The light and heavy machine gun mortars had been picked out by him alone to be given to the Anti-Japanese Rangers of Widow Ma.
