Chapter 102 Songshan Bloody Battle (8)

In Chiang Kai-shek's Huangshan official residence, the grand banquet to welcome the US Vice President Wallace is about to begin.

The relationship between Stilwell and Chiang Kai-shek is getting worse and worse now, especially when it comes to using two transport planes, Chiang Kai-shek and Stilwell had a dispute. Chiang Kai-shek did not expect Stilwell to be so rebellious. After being angry, he decided to drive Stilwell away and would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Faced with Chiang Kai-shek's refusal to give up his request to switch Stilwell, US President Roosevelt was fed up and wrote to Marshall, saying, "What is the situation of Stilwell in China? Obviously, his relationship with the chairman is very tense, so I think he will be more useful in other places than in China." Marshall came to the White House and said to Roosevelt in person: "The person who is responsible for reopening Myanmar must be a commander who can lead the troops to fight, rather than a coordinator and material supplier who can only develop relations with Chongqing." He believes that there is no more suitable candidate in the United States than Stilwell.

Faced with the US reply, Chiang Kai-shek changed his approach and asked Roosevelt to send a high-level envoy to investigate the situation in the Chinese war zone. Roosevelt sent Vice President Wallace to China for inspection. After Wallace arrived in China, he was troubled by Chiang Kai-shek and Song Ziwen almost every day. Later, Wallace also came to the conclusion that Stilwell had to leave China. This made Roosevelt finally adopt Chiang Kai-shek's suggestion and select Hurley as the special envoy to act as Chiang Kai-shek and his contact person to withdraw Stilwell from China. Of course, these are all later stories.

Chairman Jiang was wearing military uniform today. He was full of energy and the marshal's chest logo on his chest was very eye-catching. He smiled and slowly looked around the guest. Just as he was about to give a speech, a servant walked quickly to the chairman and presented him with an emergency telegram on the front line.

Chairman Jiang read it quickly, and couldn't hide his joy and sneaked up on his eyebrows. He waved his hand and the banquet began in the brisk "Welcome Song".

"Dear gentlemen. friends." Chiang Kai-shek said in an unexpectedly heavy tone: "Today, we are very happy to welcome Mr. Wallace, Vice President who just flew from Washington. Mr. Wallace will bring back the real news of the bloody battle between our military and civilians and to the US President and the people. However, before I give my speech, I want to report to you a message that it can be regarded as the best welcome gift for Mr. Wallace. Just a few hours ago, our army fought bravely and finally conquered Matsuyama, an important stronghold on the Nujiang Front. He also captured the Japanese commander Major Keijiro Kimura."

The Chinese and foreign guests immediately responded with warm applause, which lasted for a long time.

"I suggest that we pay high respects to the soldiers on the front line of the dead and watch a minute of silence." Chiang Kai-shek bowed and slowly poured a glass of wine on the carpet.

……………………………

The garrison army of Lameng, Songshan. It is divided into the peak of Songshan, Gulongpo, Da>+. In addition to the stronghold, it also uses small villages within 500 square meters of Changlinggang, caves form a fortress group, and the terrain is also very dangerous. The Eighth Army defeated Gulongpo, Da>+ without restraint. The remaining power of the victory attacked with all its strength on August 6. After two days of hard work, the last obstacle was cleared.

The victory of conquering Songshan immediately broke the deadlock on the Nujiang battlefield. On August 8, a large number of reinforcements and logistics supplies passed through the Myanmar Highway and headed towards the Longling Front.

On the 14th, Tengchong won the victory, and the left and right wings were connected together to attack Longling. The Japanese army finally could not resist the Japanese army.

The Battle of Songshan lasted 67 days. On this position with a radius of less than ten square kilometers, the Chinese army successively invested five infantry divisions and several engineers, with a total of more than 60,000 people, 200 artillery pieces, and fired tens of thousands of shells. More than 100,000 logistics migrant workers were mobilized. There were also air support from American aircraft. The Japanese army's troops in Songshan were more than 1,300, 30 artillery pieces and four tanks. The ratio of the troops on both sides of the war was about 50 to 1.

In this service, more than 4,000 Chinese officers and soldiers were killed and more than 6,000 injured. All Japanese defenders, except for the flag guards, the Second Lieutenant Kishita, broke through the siege, were annihilated. The ratio of land costs to both sides was 8 to 1.

Due to the weak country and the construction level of the army, the quality of middle and lower-level commanders and soldiers is far inferior to that of the Japanese army. The soldiers of the National Army are not capable of fighting at night, and often capture positions during the day and are recaptured by the Japanese army at night. Moreover, the intelligence reconnaissance ability is too poor. After fighting for nearly a month, I realized the strength of the defenders. In Songshan, I didn’t even take tactical actions such as catching tongues. The most important thing is that the offensive tactics are dull and monotonous, and the subjective initiative of grassroots officers and soldiers is not enough, and tactical changes are completely dependent on the high-level leaders to make their decisions. In the history of the real Songshan War, the ratio of casualties between the two sides reached fifteen

.The .Technique was advanced and perfected by him. He might not be able to change too much, but it could make the tragic level of the process less shocking.

The rumbling sound of cannons had gone away with the wind. Several rains washed away the blood of the warriors who fought in Songshan. Wu Ming and Li Mi and other officers quietly paid tribute to the deceased heroic souls.

"I hope my Chinese people can enjoy the sacrificed warriors in exchange for peace and happiness, and live freely in the sunny land of China. We are also enjoying the blessings given to us by the martyrs. We will never forget your fearlessness and bravery." Li Mi said softly, and then led everyone to Songshan, this towering anti-Japanese war memorial that will always stand on the Nujiang River.

"The island bandits are poisoned and sick to the west. Who has no blood and energy to abandon the border? Huanhuan soldiers, regardless of hardships and dangers. Ten ten deeds, willing to die as if they were willing to die. Loyalty is famous and famous. The righteousness of the people is here." Chief of Staff Liang Xiaozhai took off his glasses and wiped his eyes. "The Chairman has ordered the establishment of a monument to the fallen soldiers in the Western Campaign in Yuantong Park in Kunming. May the heroic spirits of the warriors live forever."

"Those who fight for the country will be remembered forever." Wu Ming gave a military salute with a righteous attitude, "The heroic soul will never fade away, and I will be able to consolidate my land forever."

After the group of people paid tribute, they all walked back with a little sadness.

"Brother Hua Jian, thanks for you this time." Li Mi patted Wu Ming's shoulder gratefully, "My Eighth Army won the title of Pojian Army, and Rong San Regiment is also known as the Tiger Regiment. Unfortunately, we are going to break up so soon. I really can't bear to leave!"

"Haha, man, this is an over-reward." Wu Ming waved his hand, "I just talked, and saying that was really a slap in the face."

"Without you talking, our army is still trapped here." Li Mi smiled and said, "I can't drink Brother Hua Jian's wedding banquet this time. When I have the chance to see you, I must make up for it!"

"That's natural." Wu Ming promised: "I moved my family to Kunming. Every time I go back, don't forget to see me!"

"No problem, I can't disturb you less." Li Mi laughed and waved, and a guard came over with a suitcase.

"This is a bounty." Li Mi patted her hands and pretended to be heartbroken. "I regret it now. If I had known that you could catch more than a dozen Japanese pigs, the prize for this prisoner of 1,000 yuan should have been lowered. I lost, I lost!"

Wu Ming laughed, "Brother is a bit unkind, I want to do something to go back on my word. It seems that I have to take the money away while my brother hasn't regretted it yet. Besides, didn't you still hand over those Japanese pigs to me to Chongqing? This is not an easy thing!"

"A medical officer follows me, when you arrive in Chongqing, you only need to breathe a sigh of relief." Li Mi looked at the few Japanese prisoners tied into rice dumplings in the distance and were carried into the car with contempt. "Didn't these Japanese devils always say that they are broken? These Japanese pigs are their laughing stock. Let them be embarrassed in the world!"

"Brother Bingren, everyone, I'll leave first, we'll see you later." Wu Ming nodded with a smile, shook hands and said goodbye to officers such as Li Mi.

……………………………

"You little Japanese, it's useless to glare at me." Wu Ming laughed at the Japanese prisoners who were looking at him with murderous eyes. "Now, do you know what life is worse than death? This is your retribution. I'm a little mentally prepared. Imagine the feeling of being locked in a cage and exhibited. Tsk, give you more Japanese people a face!"

Several Japanese prisoners wriggled slightly for a few efforts, and the stench on their bodies made Wu Ming cover his nose.

"Save some effort!" Wu Ming said lightly: "If you are not honest, you will get you shit and pee. You Japanese like this perverted thing the most. The emperor heard that it would be uncomfortable if he didn't eat it for a day."

Jin Guang's angry eyes were about to burst out from his eyes, and he turned around and left as he looked at the hateful guy.

"Boss, you're stimulating those Japanese again." Fu Lijun drove the car skillfully and asked with a smile.

"It's raining to beat the child, and it's idle." Wu Ming smiled and said, "When we go to Kunming, we will share the spoils. Commander Li really keeps his word. I'll calculate, one thousand, two thousand, two thousand, three... How many of the living people have we caught?"

"Boss, brothers have agreed that this money is our gift." Fu Lijun shook his head, "We may not be able to go to your happy day."
