Chapter 611 Going home

"Is that true? Hiroji Yamamoto was removed from all positions?"

When Zheng Yong heard the news, he had an unexpected expression of happiness on his face. He stood up and walked a few steps, saying:

"This is indeed news worth celebrating. Although Hiroji Yamamoto failed, he is still a talent. From the Northeast competition to here, if there are people who really understand me among the Japanese pirates, I think this must be this person."

"It seems that the commander-in-chief still appreciates him." Xue Yue laughed:

"I just don't know if Hiroji Yamamoto should cry or laugh when he heard this comment. I heard that after being dismissed, Hiroji Yamamoto did not leave immediately, but was still in Anqing. It seems that he was still unwilling to accept his dismissal."

"Who will be willing to be dismissed? Hiroji Yamamoto is also an individual." Zheng Yong laughed and then looked up:

"After Tadayi Wanichiro took office, the Japanese pirates temporarily stopped attacking Anqing and are currently organizing troops. It is very likely to launch a major assault on our army."

At this time, Luo Yumeng walked in, with an intelligence in his hand: "Commander-General, Deputy Commander-General, the insider sent intelligence, and the Japanese army in Anqing were ready to retreat!"

After receiving the information that arrived in time, Zheng Yong took a look:

"It seems that the Japanese pirates don't want to fight and retreat? They want to leave when they come. Do they think I am a temple? Order, while strengthening their defense, they wait for an opportunity to launch repeated charges against the Japanese pirates.

The Anqing Garrison Command sent a telegram that the Anqing garrison had successfully completed its defense mission. With the cooperation of our army entering the city, we immediately withdrew from the original defensive position and retreated to the second-line position in Wuhan. After a brief rest, we were ready to enter the battle at any time.

The order has not yet arrived at the battlefield, and the marching speed will be accelerated immediately to complete the two-sided border against the Japanese pirates and successfully complete the combat plans formulated before.

The above combat orders will take effect immediately!”

Xue Yue looked on the map for a long time and suddenly said, "Commander-in-chief, there seems to be some problems with the defense here."

Zheng Yong stepped forward and looked at it, smiling and not speaking.

Xue Yue frowned tightly: "Our army's defense here is a little thin, and two more divisions were transferred yesterday. Although the Japanese pirates have not noticed it at present, once they are discovered and organized a large number of troops to repeatedly attack this, I am afraid that this place will become our biggest hidden danger."

Zheng Yong still smiled and still didn't say anything.

Xue Yue was a little strange. Although the Japanese pirates did not know where they were, they would sooner or later as the war progressed. Now that he raised this hidden worry, the commander-in-chief seemed to care nothing.

"Go and perform your own mission." Zheng Yong looked at Xue Yue:

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured. I have my own considerations. Sooner or later, you will understand.

Xue Yue was stunned for a while, and shook his head with a wry smile.

I do not quite understand the intention of the commander-in-chief, but from the battle to the present, the commander-in-chief's judgment is almost always correct. Maybe I will not know what the ending will be until the end this time...

......

"Can you finally retreat?" Lin Weidong smiled faintly.

After struggling to this point, both myself and the military and civilians in Anqing have completed the task.

It's too hard, this battle is really too hard.

How many casualties are there, maybe you won’t know until the end of this battle.

"Commander, you can leave."

Hearing the orderly words, Lin Weidong nodded slightly.

"Commander, and this..."

I took a look and found it was my sister's urn.

Lin Weidong only felt that his eyes were moist. He took his sister's urn, looked at it for a while, sighed softly, handed it back to the orderly hand it back to the hands of the orderly, and said:

"Help me get it..."

It’s time to leave. I once swore that no matter where I went, I would take my sister back. One day, I would bury my sister next to my father’s grave.

The sound of gunfire outside has been much less than before.

It seems that the siege of Anqing has been lifted, and Lin Weidong smiled slightly...

......

"Qi Lin, the Eighty-Seventh Division!"

"Guardian Kong Bin!"

......

One by one, familiar voices sounded, Lin Weidong raised his eyes, and the faces appeared in front of him again.

He raised his hand and greeted a military salute, and Lin Weidong's eyes were wet again.

These are all their brothers and families, and they are all good men who stick to this place just like themselves.

When they each took their own positions and when they parted, no one knew whether they could meet again.

This is a kind of emotion, and perhaps no one will easily reveal it before.

But when these brothers who crawled out of the dead gathered together again, such feelings could no longer be suppressed.

"Everyone is at attention, rest!"

Lin Weidong said vigorously.

"Commander, we are tired, really tired, go home."

It was Qi Lin who said this. He suffered eleven injuries in total. The bandages he had been bandaged had already become filthy and could not tell the original color at all.

"Go home, we'll go home..."

Lin Weidong tried his best to control his emotions, but he could no longer bear it. He squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

Go home, go home.

Finally, I can go home, these two ordinary words,

But when these people hear these two words, each of them knows what it means.

Home is too unfamiliar to them. The time has been apart for too long. They almost forgot these two words and what it feels like to be home.

They were finally able to return home alive, but most of the brothers around them could no longer see their relatives.

The Anqing defense battle began in late September, and on December 29, the Anqing defenders were ordered to retreat.

For three months, the military and civilians of Anqing persisted here for three months.

The price they paid to endure the crazy bombing of Japanese artillery fire with weak forces against the elite Japanese pirates was unimaginable.

The Anqing defenders were killed in battle alone, and there were no accurate figures in the disability statistics.

This means that the troops commanded by Lin Weidong had more than 80% of the casualties.

Many troops have fought all over and fought for the severity.

The last guard division arrived, when it entered Anqing, the entire division had 15,991 troops, and when it finally evacuated, there were more than 8,000 left.

The most elite guard division, nine thousand soldiers, sprinkled blood on the battlefield. Many people who survived will never be able to go to the battlefield again in their lifetime, and even a normal life and self-care has become impossible.

There are also civilian casualties. According to incomplete statistics, in the long battle of Anqing defense, more than 100,000 civilians in Anqing were killed or injured.

Most of them died under the cover of Japanese pirates' plane bombing and artillery fire, while others died on the advance positions.

The family is destroyed and the wife is separated.

Anqing has become a ruin.

How many families are broken, how many relatives are separated from life and death.

But there is nothing regret among them.

From the beginning of the battle, I never regretted my choice.

They are not fighting for the army, but for themselves.

For your wife and children, for your own home.

A soldier walked out of his hiding place, holding a woman in his hand.

His name is Guoping, and he has participated in the battle since the beginning of the Anqing defense battle.

The woman he was holding in his hand was called Donghua. Her name was a bit tacky and she was already dead, but Guo Ping had no intention of putting down the corpse.

This is his wife, although she has never been to court.

He wanted to carry her away from here and keep carrying her back to his home...

His legs were limping, and every step he took, blood would shed, and the blood almost paved a path.

His leg had been injured for a long time, but he didn't feel it at all.

Although I have become a cripple, at least I am still alive.

I am undoubtedly much luckier than those who died.

Go home, I have to go home by myself.

Take your wife and hope for the future.

One day, the pain caused by war will pass...
