Chapter 26 Victory (Part 2)

On April 10, 1938, the Taierzhuang Battle, which had been fighting for more than half a month, finally dropped the curtain with the victory of the Chinese army. Although this victory was not perfect, in 1938, when the Japanese army was in full swing, it did give the arrogant Japanese a big stick, which greatly contributed to the prestige of the Chinese army. The Japanese army met in Xuzhou in a short time, and their strategic attempt to open up the Jinpu Road was also shattered.

As soon as the news spread, the temporary capital Wuhan immediately held a publicity week event hosted by the Third Department of the Political Department of the Military Commission. This event made the entire three towns of Wuhan boil. Other cities across the country also held various activities and mass gatherings to celebrate the victory of Taierzhuang. For a time, the whole country was joking, and the people's confidence in winning the war of resistance was greatly strengthened.

In this battle, the Japanese army invested 50,000 troops in the vast area in the center of Yitaierzhuang, but was defeated and fled by nearly 200,000 Chinese troops.

The Japanese army had four infantry corpses, one cavalry corps, and a total of five corpses were eliminated by the Chinese army in an organized manner. The Asahi Shimbun lamented that "this is truly a thousand-year humiliation for the "Emperor" country."

Tokyo also held a large-scale ceremony to summon the soldiers of the "Imperial Army" who died in battle.

One side is joyful and the other side is sad and miserable, forming a sharp contrast.

The number of enemies annihilated by China was to kill and wound 28,000 Japanese soldiers, and captured more than 900 prisoners, totaling 29,000 enemies. Although this number cannot be without water at all, it is obviously more reliable than the 8,700 missing people announced by Japan that unilaterally, 138 missing people were missing.

The Chinese army announced that its casualties were about 35,000, while the Japanese army insisted that the Chinese army suffered more than 100,000 casualties in this battle.

International military observers at that time generally believed that the Japanese army lost about 21,000 people in the Battle of Taierzhuang, and the casualties of the Chinese army were around 40,000, of which more than 20,000 were killed in battle and injured and disabled.

Anyway, everyone is, the husband is right and the mother is right. Until the war, I did not understand the actual specific casualties between the two sides.

However, both China and Japan have one thing in common, that is, they did not count the number of Chinese people in the puppet Manchukuo Division, which is not Chinese, and the Japanese are not Japanese troops who were casualties and were captured anyway. In China, if we think of these people as Japanese, we will definitely not buy them internationally. Instead of being ridiculed by outsiders, it is better to not make any family scandals public. It is better to ignore the casualties of this troops. The Japanese did not regard these people as human beings at all. In the eyes of the military, they are not just civilians with guns.

Of course, people still have a clear understanding of these numbers.

"The Sakamoto Detachment had at least 9,000 people, and it was wiped out. Hatan Detachment had about half of its casualties, and at least 5,000 people were lost. Before the Seya Detachment participated in the war, there were more than 12,000 people, and only about 4,000 people escaped." Gao Shiying estimated the losses of the Japanese army in the brigade headquarters of the 100 Independent Brigade that set up Zaozhuang Station.

"There are 22,000 people in this way. During the battle, the Japanese army sent new recruits to the Taierzhuang front several times, and the other Japanese troops participating in the war should have lost at least two or three thousand." Yu Juncai said. For some reason, Wen Songyuan, who was standing beside him, felt that the two people were talking a little bit aligned recently.

"This is not the case that the Japanese army lost its troops in the blocking battle between the north and south of the Huai River. If it really counts as conservative accountants, the Japanese suffered at least 35,000 casualties this time." Seeing someone talking to Gao Shiying, he became more and more excited.

"It's a pleasure to eat 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese soldiers, but we have too many brothers falling down!" Even a rude man like Wen Songyuan knew in his heart that he could not believe the news from the Central News Agency and the Sweeping News, but he could not believe it all. 30,000 casualties, so this panic was a bit too big.

Although Wen Songyuan was not very good at arithmetic, he also knew that the three divisions participating in the Second Army had more than 15,000 casualties, and the Twentieth Legion was not as good as there, with at least 20,000 casualties.

These two big pieces can make up the number of casualties of the National Army announced by the raid report. There are still more casualties in the remaining Third Army of the Sixty Army, the 16th Army and other units.

Not to mention anything else, the 80th Division suffered a setback in Lanling Town, and 2,000 people were killed and injured in one go.

After a few calculations, the casualties of the National Army in Taierzhuang were at least 50,000. This number does not include the losses in other combat directions. It is said that the southern bank of the Huai River was very fierce.

They were talking about the host and the zombie Cheng Jiaji said nothing in the first place.

Those people thought he was unhappy for the guns that had just been transferred by the War Zone Commander Command.

Then he knew that Cheng Jiaji's heart was no longer on the battlefield at this moment, and his heart had been disturbed by the news that the three women arrived in Xuzhou.

Those three women are the most terrifying and "precious" inheritance left to him by Cheng Jiaji, the three women who were single and two concubines.

It has been several months since I came to this world, and he still has some understanding of the basic situation of his wives and concubines.

The wife Wu Shaojun is a young lady from a family of officials. Her father was the magistrate of Nan'an in the former Qing Dynasty. She is currently the deputy speaker of the Fujian Provincial Senate in the Republic of China and Cheng's father have been close friends for many years. The relationship between the two sides is very good, so it goes without saying what kind of friendship it is. According to Cheng Jiaji's estimate, it is impossible to get along with the official businessman. This young lady Wu has made a marriage contract with Cheng Jiaji since she was 23 years old this year. A year ago, she was tied back from the Women's University in Nanjing and was close to Cheng Jiaji.

Two concubines, one is the grandmaster of Tongfang beside Cheng Jiaji, which is the version of Xiren's Republic of China in Dream of Red Mansions, called Ziyu, which is a real vulgar name. The other is even more exaggerated, and it is simply the top brand in the largest brothel in Nan'an County. The family's surname is Nangong and its name is Yuru.

Fate suddenly stuffed these three different types of women who had never met but had the most "close" relationship in front of you. It would be impossible not to accept them. Why don't you let me go? In fact, Cheng Jiaji, who has never even gotten married once, is in a mess.

He would rather face a Japanese brigade than return to Xuzhou. But can he escape such a thing? There is nothing he can do. Cheng Jiaji is getting more annoyed the more he thinks. He wishes that the Japanese will be in a big army to attack Zaozhuang now, so he doesn't have to go back. Unfortunately, the only thing the Japanese are left near Zaozhuang is chased and beaten, and they dare to attack. At this time, Cheng Jiaji's mood is three words, annoyed! annoyed! annoyed!

In this mood, he was able to take care of the cannons that had been sent back to the war zone!

"Travel, Brigade Commander Liu from the Independent Brigade 112 is here." Cheng Jiaji was very imaginative. Ma Sanbao called him several times before he realized.

"Brother Haoran, brothers are here to take over the defense." Liu Tianlong, who had just been appointed as the commander of the brigade of the Independent 112th Brigade by the Military Commission, walked in with an adjutant. As soon as the adjutant came in, he handed a command to Gao Shiying a defense.

The former division commander of the Manchukuo Army has been quite proud recently. Although he has become a major general again, the division commander has also become an independent brigade commander. After all, he has become a dignified Chinese soldier, a major general of the National Army. This weight is incomparable to being a slave under the Japanese.

"Brother Qi Tian (Liu Tianlong's name, this is why people think of the Monkey King.), you are coming quickly." After receiving the order to stop moving forward from the commander-in-chief of the War Zone, Cheng Jiaji knew in his heart that his troops were about to return to Xuzhou to rest. Then the troops to take over were about to arrive, but he didn't expect that Liu Tianlong would come to take over the defense.

Logically speaking, the Independent 112 Brigade, composed of the 9th Manchukuo Division of the Puppet Manchukuo Division as the main body and hundreds of new recruits, would not be able to go to the battlefield without a month's rest. Why was the War Zone Chief Officer so anxious to send this brigade?

"Brother was ordered to attack Weishan County immediately. Please ask your department to send a commander of the artillery company!" After Liu Tianlong said this, Cheng Jiaji suddenly realized that damn politics was still at the trouble.

Weishan County has now been abandoned by the Japanese, and there is only one squadron of the Japanese army and more than a hundred puppet troops on guard. Yesterday, the 100 Independent Brigade asked the war zone whether to send a regiment to recover it. This was a natural thing, but it was rejected by the war zone. Now I think it is just to make the Independent 112 Brigade show the limelight, and I slapped the Japanese politically. This is to tell the international community that the Japanese are nothing great, and even those former puppet troops who fell into the gun can deal with them!

Since he understood the painstaking efforts of the war zone, Cheng Jiaji would not know how to do this kind of favor. After arranging a field artillery company of the brigade artillery battalion to cooperate with the Independent One-112 Brigade, the main force of the Independent One-100 Brigade began to explain defense to the Independent One-112 Brigade.

The brigade commanders of both sides agreed that two days later, the field cannon company that was temporarily lending to the Independent Yi 12 brigade will be built. It is okay to lend it to Liu Tianlong for a while, but Cheng Jiaji would never be willing to give a cannon company.

At 7:00 a.m. on April 11, the 100 Independence Brigade arrived in Xuzhou.

"Liu Yicheng, currently the lieutenant colonel staff officer of the 16th Army's temporary 16th Army and the director of the Xuzhou Left-Back Commander Cheng." A lieutenant colonel officer with an extremely neat military appearance and a straight posture gave Cheng Jiaji a clean, neat and standard American military salute on the platform.

Cheng Jiaji didn't react at once. (It's not his fault, it's just that he was thinking too much on the train, and the poor protagonist was worried about the woman's problem.)

Cheng Jiaji, who came to his senses, looked at the distant cousin in front of him who had no idea where he came out.
