"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, the Eighth Route Army won the battle of one hundred battalions and annihilated 80,000 enemies!"
"Selling newspapers, a great victory in Hedong, the Eighth Route Army dispatched the 108th Battalion, launched a major counterattack against the Japanese, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, and captured countless!"
"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers..."
As soon as the victory of the Hundred Battalions War was announced, it swept across the country, both inside and outside the Great Wall, and tens of millions of people took to the streets to celebrate this great victory that will shine in the annals of history.
The defeatist sentiment caused by Mr. Wang's surrender to the Japanese was wiped out. The call for a war of resistance to the end once again overwhelmed the capitulationist trend of thought. Many swing elements began to think twice before committing suicide. After all, the reputation of traitors is not good.
On such a big matter as national justice, once it is stained black, even soap cannot wash it away.
"Damn it, Mom, the Eighth Route Army likes to make great achievements. They annihilated 80,000 Japanese and puppet troops. I guess the puppet troops accounted for 70,000!"
The president said sourly.
General Chen immediately agreed:
"Eighty thousand enemies were wiped out without fear of the wind flashing their tongues. As far as the students knew, those gun towers and bunkers were filled with puppet troops who had no combat effectiveness. There were not even a few Japanese in ten gun towers.
Look at their battle reports. How many railways have been pulled up, how many roads, telephone poles, train stations, and mines have been destroyed. How many Japanese are there in these?
Two Japanese divisions and three brigades were severely damaged, but the Japanese only admitted that each unit suffered heavy losses, but the main force was still there;
Each regiment was fully organized and lost more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, tens of thousands of puppet troops, and the Eighth Route Army lost more than 30,000 people. At best, it was a draw. "
Admiral He also continued:
"Students also quite agree with Brother Cixiu's analysis. The Eighth Route Army mobilized a total of 108 battalions this time, combined with more than thirty regiments, and used all their elites to take advantage of the Japanese's unpreparedness and catch the Japanese by surprise, but their own losses were also huge;
I heard that Chuxiong's main force, the 882nd Regiment, had almost wiped out all its members. His five regiments attacked Yuci, but only four regiments were withdrawn. Even these four regiments suffered more than half the casualties.
Chuxiong's Independent Brigade is the most powerful brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the losses are so huge. The 129th Division, the 115th Division Nie Division, the 81st Division Xu Division, and the 120th Division will only suffer greater losses;
In this battle, it can be said that both the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese suffered losses. The government still hopes that they can fight more in such a victorious battle. "
After General He finished speaking, several big guys in the command room couldn't help laughing, and the president laughed out of the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Zhuge also said jokingly:
"President, I suggest that the national government should praise the Hundred Battalions War to create public opinion. Doesn't the Eighth Route Army like to be in the limelight?
Then we will put them on the fire to roast them, deepen the hatred between them and the Japanese, and encourage them to continue to fight against the Japanese.
If you win, you will be verbally praised by the government; if you lose, you will be severely reprimanded! "
Zhong Cai nodded appreciatively, then turned to Guofu Wendan and said;
"Chang Qing, in the name of the government, prepare a commendation order to congratulate the Hundred Battalions on their victory in the Battle of the Hundred Battalions, commend the meritorious soldiers, and promote Chu Xiong, the commander of the independent brigade, to the rank of Army Lieutenant General."
When Xiao Zhuge heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and said with contempt in his heart:
"This is another move. This is preparing to roast Chu Xiong on the fire. No one can play politics with him.
With so many people, only one Chu Xiong was promoted, what about the others?
Now Chu Xiong's military rank is equal to that of several division commanders of the Eighth Route Army. If he is promoted further, he will be on the same level as Brother Yujie. How will Chu Xiong deal with himself in the Eighth Route Army?
He really never forgets to create a gap between the Eighth Route Army and Chu Xiong. This move is so sinister and a real conspiracy. "
Admiral Chen was about to jump out and object, but when he saw the corners of Xiao Zhuge's mouth raised, he immediately realized what he was doing and quickly flattered him:
"The type is so high!"
Across the ocean, in the Eagle Palace
On the desk of the wise old man was a newspaper about the "Battle of One Hundred Battalions". The illustration used a photo of the boss standing on horseback with his sword drawn. Opposite him was still his most trusted Army Chief of Staff, Major General George, who temporarily held the title of general.
"George, what do you think of the Eighth Route Army's Hundred Battalions Battle?"
Franklin asked about George out of habit.
"General PengGeneral Peng is an excellent general. The annihilation of more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers in the battle of one hundred battalions is worthy of celebration."
George said disapprovingly that compared to the war in Europa that could destroy the country at every turn, annihilating ten thousand enemies did not attract much attention from him.
"No, George, in the real Hundred Battalions War, the Eighth Route Army used not 108 battalions, but 180 battalions, totaling 60 regiments, with a total number of more than 150,000;
Nearly 50,000 Japanese were killed. Only 3,000 of the 35th Division that participated in the war escaped, and 5,000 of the 36th Division were left. The 8th Independent Brigade, the 17th Brigade, and the 18th Brigade were completely destroyed. Annihilation, organizational structures were cancelled, and they also lost a large number of garrison troops. "
George could hardly believe his ears. This was so shocking that if it hadn't come from Mr. Franklin's mouth, he would have definitely regarded it as an April Fool's Day joke.
"George, this information came from Aaliyah. I couldn't believe it at first. I verified it through third-party channels. Aaliyah is still the best agent in Goshawk Country;
Chuxiong's troops alone wiped out 16,000 Japanese troops, and the troops of General Liu, General Nie, and General Chen also wiped out more than 10,000 enemies.
Their casualties were only over 10,000, of which 7,000 were wounded who could return to the battlefield. Actual combat proved that the Mulan cannon sold to us by Chuxiong was very effective against tanks and solid fortifications, and the military could use it on a large scale Produced. "
"Mr. Franklin, I take back my previous evaluation of General Peng and the Eighth Route Army. General Peng and the Eighth Route Army under his command are great and worthy of the Goshawk Nation's greater investment in them."
Shoji said sternly, because General Peng and his generals did a better job than he imagined.
Franklin nodded with great satisfaction. This was his good partner General George.
Franklin lit a cigar happily and continued:
"George, at the end of last month, the Oriental Japanese, the Hansi cat and the Mediterranean wolf have officially formed an axis of evil. They are trying to dominate the world. This is a challenge to the civilized world. If their ambition is allowed to succeed, the world will be devastated. And the disaster of Goshawk Country!
The mustachioed armored beasts swept across the civilized world of Western Europe. The proud rooster surrendered without even holding on for a month. The civilized world was completely disgraced by them;
Only the navy is left to maintain the last dignity of the Empire where the sun never sets. That damn fat man knows how to reach out to us for money, planes and supplies. Without the large number of planes we support, the skies over Britain will become a mustache's back garden!
Now the only thing that can block the Mustache Iron Legion in Europa is the black bear;
Compared with the entire civilized world, which is losing battles, this great victory achieved by the Eighth Route Army is so precious!
With only 200,000 people, they could annihilate 50,000 Japanese soldiers. If they had 2 million people, how many Japanese soldiers would they have to hold back? How much less blood will the Goshawk Kingdom have to pay?
According to reliable information, the Japanese base camp intends to reach a reconciliation with Shuzhong in China and withdraw the 1 million troops in China. This will definitely be a disaster for the Goshawk Kingdom. "
George finally realized the seriousness of the matter. If the Japanese withdrew from China, the 1 million elite army would only surrender to Long Pingyang.
"Franklin, we must not let the devils withdraw from China, those 1 million devils will drag the Goshawk Kingdom into trouble in advance;
Since we can't count on that peanut in Sichuan, then we will support the brave and capable Eighth Route Army, let them become the mainstream in the fight against the Japanese, and help them arm 2 million Eighth Route Army soldiers, or even more! "
Franklin took a deep breath on the cigar, and the sparks on the end of the cigarette danced happily...
