Shuzhong, the national combat command center
Someone lay down and couldn't sleep. The winter offensive had been going on for a month. The results were few and the consumption was huge. It was far from the expected effect. He now had a deep understanding of Meng Degong's mood when he said the "tasteless" command. ;
It’s tasteless to eat, it’s a pity to throw it away!
Mrs. Key’s trip to the Goshawk Country was not smooth either. The 500 million aid could not be negotiated for a long time. She originally wanted to use the illustrious martial arts of the Winter Offensive to cheer her up, but the result was exactly the opposite. The million-strong army fought for more than a month, and there were only a handful of highlights. ;
Goshawk Country is the country that values strength the most. It cannot achieve outstanding results. It is difficult to get assistance as scheduled!
"Niang Xi is a piece of shit, a bunch of trash! There are thousands of generals, but none of them can compare with Chu Xiong!"
Lieutenant General Zhang, the director of the attendant's office, stood outside the door and hesitated whether to wake him up. Someone felt it and asked:
"Wen Bai, what's the matter?"
"Search, good news!"
"Our Central Army has a great victory!"
Lieutenant General Zhang thought for a while and then added, instantly igniting someone's passion. As expected by Chief Wei, as long as it was a great victory for the Central Army, he would not be blamed for going to court in the middle of the night.
When someone heard this, he stood up and said excitedly:
"Wen Bai, please come in! Which army achieved the great victory?"
Lieutenant General Zhang gently opened the door and entered, reporting to someone:
"Commander Wei from the First Theater Command received good news. Zhao Sihu's unit of the 78th Division of the Central Army launched a strong attack on the Japanese positions in Moyunling at a quarter past noon today. After four hours of fierce fighting, they completely wiped out a brigade of defenders;
865 people below the captain, Major Sakai, were killed. The weapons and equipment seized were piled up, including more than 30 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 600 long and short guns! "
"Wait a minute, Wen Bai, one division wiped out one Japanese group? Has Junru verified it?"
The Central Military Army has a tradition of exaggerating military achievements. Someone was afraid that he would make a joke again and would not be able to step down when the time came, so he asked again worriedly.
Lieutenant General Zhang said excitedly:
"It's not wrong this time. There are 865 Japanese corpses found alone, some of which were blown to pieces. General Zhao Sihu is very cautious."
When someone heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. This was definitely a great victory. A division attacked a position heavily defended by a Japanese brigade and captured the position in four hours, wiping out a brigade of defenders!
Maybe there’s more than one brigade!
If each division has such results, more than 190 divisions will be more than 190 brigades. Why worry about the Japanese being immortal?
"Wen Bai, this is a great victory. We found more than 800 corpses, so we wiped out at least 1,500 enemies. General Zhao is so honest!
Facts have proved that our Central Army can also win great battles. I remember that General Zhao also achieved a great victory at Langtoushan last time. This 78th Division is very capable of fighting. We must vigorously publicize it;
Send reporters to the front lines to take pictures of the mountains of Japanese corpses and captured corpses, and use all-out propaganda to let people across the country and the world see the glorious military exploits of our Central Army!
In addition, the meritorious officers and soldiers must be heavily rewarded. The 78th Division was upgraded to a Class A division. General Zhao Sihu was awarded 10,000 French currency and all soldiers were awarded 50,000 French currency!
By the way, did the 78th Division suffer heavy casualties? "
Only then did someone remember to ask about the casualties of the frontline soldiers. Lieutenant General Zhang answered truthfully:
"Our 78th Division suffered heavy casualties, with a total loss of more than 2,000 personnel."
"Wen Bai, sacrifices are inevitable. The party and the country will not forget them. In addition, we will allocate 20,000 French currency to subsidize the casualties. I will not treat them badly!"
Annihilating a Japanese brigade will result in 2,000 casualties. This casualty ratio is already very small;
In the great victory of Kunlun Pass, the exchange ratio was more than four to one, and the Fifth Army was still as elite. General Zhao Sihu is really a tiger general of our Central Army. I decided to award him the Medal of the Blue Sky and White Sun! "
Lieutenant General Zhang also had good words for a capable general like Zhao Sihu:
"Zhongcai, the 78th Division only has a total of 6,000 people. This time, it suffered more than 2,000 casualties, which is nearly half of the casualties. For a unit that can fight like this, do you want to add some soldiers to them as appropriate to restore their combat effectiveness?"
Someone thought for a moment and said:
"Wen Bai, if you can't replenish the capable divisions like the 78th Division after they are exhausted, this will chill the hearts of the soldiers!
In this way, I ask Brother Junru to add three Sichuan regiments to the 78th Division. The number should not be less than 3,000. I will not let honest people suffer. "
A certain person needed this victory so much that he sent him a pillow when he was almost dozing off. If it works well, Madam's 500 million aid will be enough. It just so happened that he also wanted to win over Zhao Sihu, so he was a rare act of generosity. .
But these words sounded different to Lieutenant General Zhang, and he secretly despised him in his heart:
"Generosity also depends on closeness. If this battle was fought by direct descendants of Huangpu, there would be no need to remind myself, and it would not be just 3,000 Sichuan regiments that no one wants!"
It's better than nothing. His help from General Zhang Sihu only goes so far. At least the lost soldiers have been replenished. Compared with those motley crews who dismantled their troops and then disbanded them, it's already as good as heaven.
Not long after Lieutenant General Zhang left, thunderous snoring came from someone's bedroom, and he could finally sleep peacefully.
On the second day, special envoys and reporters from the Chief's Department came to the 78th Division. They were also Zhao Sihu's old acquaintances and Xiao Yaxian, a beautiful reporter from the Central News Agency stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain.
Naturally, the people and equipment that were inconvenient to see had been hidden. The instructors from the independent brigade all pretended to be wounded, including Company Commander Luo, who was almost wrapped into rice dumplings by the health workers.
The sacrificed soldiers have also been laid to rest, a total of more than 300 people, mainly soldiers from Zhao Musheng's regiment. Luo Weimin's sharp knife company also lost more than 50 people, and there were more than 80 wounded, and more than half of the entire company was killed;
Naturally, it will not be said that more than 300 people were sacrificed.
"General Zhao, long time no see. The general is still as handsome as ever. Congratulations to the general on the great victory at Moyun Ridge!"
"Miss Xiao, thank you very much. I'm going to have to work hard on you again this time!"
"General Zhao, Miss Xiao, one of you is a famous anti-Japanese general known at home and abroad, and the other is a beautiful woman who has conquered the country;
Heroes and beauties complement each other. After the business is done, Brother Sihu will put on a table of celebratory wine. Brother, I will also take advantage of Beauty Xiao and ask for a drink! "
Lieutenant General Chen, the special envoy of the Chief of Staff, very artistically reminded the two of them to do business first. At the same time, he also cleverly gave Zhao Sihu some hints. Water and wine are secondary. I will help you confirm such a big military achievement. I mean, that is what is necessary. of.
Zhao Sihu is also a veteran. He is very knowledgeable about these people in the national army, so he quickly responded:
"Chief Chen was joking. My achievements today are all due to the care of my superiors. The four tigers are grateful;
Especially Chief Chen, who took the trouble to come to Langtou Mountain to inspect and guide the work this time. It is a great honor for the 78th Division. Let’s get down to business first and ask for advice from Chief Chen later. "
Lieutenant General Chen has received the message from Zhao Sihu and knows that he will not return empty-handed this time. He is in a good mood and will make the rest of the matter easier.
