According to what Luo Ying told him, Li Shuo gave Sun Yuanliang a summary report on the Battle of Liujiapo. Some details were omitted by him. For example, about the flying thunder cannon, he only said it was a machine gun battery. This was not intentional. Hidden and fooled;
This is not because Luo Ying wants to hide something, but because once this thing is exposed in advance, the Japanese will know it immediately, and it will be difficult to trick the Japanese again. To put it bluntly, this thing is just a mortar. It is not too difficult and can do more. Hide for a while, hide for a while.
Sure enough, Sun Yuanliang's mind was not on this at all. He just wanted to confirm the authenticity of the victory. As for the details, he was not concerned about it, and it was impossible for him to write such a detailed report to the superiors.
After confirming the victory, he showed an unconcealable smile on his face and praised:
"Okay, Luo Ying did a great job. I want to give him credit for annihilating the Japanese with one battalion and one reinforced group. This is a great victory. It is difficult for other troops to achieve it even with one division. Give me the 88th Division." If you show your face, you must be rewarded!
I decided on the radio station he wanted and asked the Communications Department to send a coder to them. If anything happened in the future, I could report it directly to the division headquarters. "
This is a reward on the surface, but it is not clear in private. The Independence Battalion only handed over 30% of the seized items, and he turned a blind eye. This is the biggest reward for the Independence Battalion;
When such a big victory is reported, Luo Ying will be rewarded by the superiors. These are his kindness to Luo Ying, and only he can receive such treatment.
If it had been anyone else, such a huge contribution would have to be shared with other troops. The 88th Division has more than one independent battalion. If there is no one to protect the Kuomintang army, there will be no rewards for winning the battle. Once the troops and supplies are fully replenished, it will be fun enough.
After sending Li Shuo away, Sun Yuanliang immediately drafted a message acknowledging the victory in person. General Chen, the commander-in-chief of the North Route Army, and the Military Commission each had a copy. No one could take away the credit for Sun Yuanliang's achievements. He could reach the Heavenly Court directly.
In Jinling City, the command room of the Military Commission is still crowded with big shots, and the battle for Luodian is tugging at everyone's heart.
Daily battle reports from the direction of Luodian are sent directly to the command room, and then a group of generals adjust their troop deployment in time based on the day's battle report. The senior officials of both sides focus on a small Luodian, and no one wants to be in Luodian. It’s easy to give up in a fight.
"Everyone, Yuanliang is indeed a good student of Huangpu. Since the 88th Division was replaced, the Luodian direction has made people feel more at ease. Judging from the latest battle report, the 88th Division fought very well!
The 262nd Brigade held its main position for a day. The position was as stable as a rock. It not only withstood the attacks of the two Japanese regiments, but also eliminated no less than a thousand Japanese, and suffered less than 500 casualties;
When the enemy's plan failed, they devised another plan and sent a reinforced brigade to the flank to prepare for a sneak attack on the 262nd Brigade;
Yuan Liang strategized, deployed troops and generals, and used tactics to lure the enemy deep into the area, annihilating the incoming enemy in one fell swoop. The 264th Brigade and the Division Headquarters Independent Battalion both made great contributions!
With just one brigade and one battalion, more than 1,500 Japanese soldiers were wiped out in a reinforced brigade, 4 tanks were destroyed, and 1 was captured. The Japanese corpses found on the battlefield were piled up like mountains. Yuan Liang specially asked the reporters accompanying the army to take photos and collect evidence, so that the Japanese could not So quibbling..."
Wei Zuo appeared to be in a very good mood. He described the battle report that had been deeply processed by Sun Yuan vividly and vividly, making people feel as if they were in the same situation and being inspired. The command room suddenly burst into cheers.
Chief of Staff He Jingzhi stood up and said:
"Commander, the Luodian victory should be reported in the press as soon as possible to encourage the Chinese people and give a severe blow to the morale of the Japanese. At the same time, it should also let the friendly countries see the combat effectiveness of our Chinese army and strengthen their confidence in supporting us in the war of resistance to the end."
Someone nodded with satisfaction and said:
"This is a statement of respect for the country. Military is to serve politics. Once the battlefield is fought, political propaganda must follow;
The fight in North China is not ideal. Some people in the organization have jumped out to clamor for the invincibility of the Japanese and spread defeatist remarks. This is not acceptable.
I have already said that once the war breaks out, the land is divided into north and south, and people, old and young, all have the responsibility to resist the enemy and defend the land!
The defeat in North China is only temporary. In East China, our Central Army has fought very well. Successful reports are coming frequently. We must vigorously publicize them to strengthen our national and military prestige!
Meritorious officers and soldiers should also be rewarded. General Sun Yuanliang must be notified of commendations. Other meritorious officers and soldiers should be rewarded and upgraded. Let the officers and soldiers know that as long as they fight well, I will not hesitate to reward them..."
After the Military Commission set the tone, the government's propaganda machine was fully activated. Major newspapers worked overtime to publish the news of the Luodian victory. The number of enemies annihilated also increased to 3,000, and more than 1,000 Japanese corpses were revealed. This annihilation The number of enemies seems a bit conservative;
Calculated based on the casualty ratio of three to one, there is nothing wrong with annihilating three thousand enemies. Sun Yuanliang has once again become the focus of people's attention. Huangpu's number one general has already proven his strength. Even Hu Shoushan privately admitted that Brother Yuanliang was still better than him in fighting. A little bit more awesome.
As a leader in the first phase of Huangpu, Sun Yuanliang's reputation among Chinese people has surpassed that of others. It has become the consensus among domestic girls to marry Sun Yuanliang when they get married;
It’s no wonder that the 34-year-old lieutenant general is a direct descendant of the Central Military Commission of the People’s Republic of China. He has a good personal appearance and is a famous general in fighting Japanese enemies. How many girls can resist the temptation of such a rich and handsome man?
Especially the female reporters from the Central News Agency. They have better information than ordinary girls and have wider access. Many people approach him in various ways under the guise of interviews. Many of them are spies for the Japanese. This is also normal. In war, you always have me, and I have you.
More and more celebrities at home and abroad are approaching him for various purposes, but this is what he likes. Not everyone can resist the temptation of Da Shen City, but the protagonist Luo Ying was only taken over by a brush, and his independent camp was also blocked. He defeated the Japanese attack and contributed to the main force of the 264th Brigade to encircle and annihilate the Japanese. He was promoted to lieutenant colonel and battalion commander for his meritorious service.
It has to be said that Sun Yuanliang was quite good to Luo Ying. Although he gave most of the credit to the 264th Brigade, the role of the independent battalion was also reflected. His name also appeared under the eyes of the senior officials, and his military rank was a last resort. Promoted one level.
As the commander of an independent battalion directly under the division, a lieutenant colonel is the standard, and this victory was used to promote him in advance.
Sun Yuanliang was in the limelight for a while, and his photo was also placed on the table of General Matsui Iwane, the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Force. Next to him was the commander of the 3rd and 11th Divisions. The one who sent the information was Sun Yuanliang. A Central News Agency reporter who had a wonderful spring night - a ridiculously beautiful woman.
"Mr. Yamamuro, this Sun Yuanliang is no ordinary person. What do you think?"
General Matsui Iwane asked coldly. It was obvious that his mood was not very beautiful, not because of the loss of three thousand troops, but because the situation in Luodian could not be opened for a long time.
Lieutenant General Sotake Yamamuro, commander of the 11th Division, stood up and said:
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese people always like to exaggerate their military exploits. Our 44th Regiment of the First Division only sent a large group with less than 10,000 soldiers to fight in a roundabout way. It was besieged by tens of thousands of enemies and still outnumbered hundreds of people. The Chinese people lost two people. With more than a thousand people, they actually called this a great victory;
This Sun Yuanliang was a well-known general. The imperial army should fight back and expose their shameless behavior in the newspapers. "
