Chapter 123 Become famous?
The Deputy Chief of General Staff was filled with emotion.
current,
The domestic situation was grim, and the Hundred Regiments Campaign had already begun. There was an extreme shortage of weapons and equipment, and it was not easy to squeeze out some as rewards.
But this time the victory
For all officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, this is an exciting and good opportunity, and it deserves vigorous publicity.
The guard regiment that accomplished this feat naturally cannot be stingy with rewards, as this represents the attitude of the headquarters and the Second War Zone.
After the deputy chief of general staff finished speaking, the deputy commander-in-chief shook his head slightly. Although his words were crude and straightforward, they did make sense.
opposite,
Commander Liu from the Luyu base said with a smile: "The Peidu government may have some difficulties in the short term, but support from the Second War Zone should arrive soon!"
As soon as Commander Liu finished speaking, a soldier from the communications squad hurried in with a telegram.
"Report, call from the Second War Zone!"
The deputy commander raised his eyebrows. Commander Liu had just finished speaking, but he didn't expect it to arrive so soon.
"Very good, very good. Just read it out. I want to hear what kind of reward this old man Yan will give!" The deputy commander-in-chief said half-jokingly.
aside,
The Deputy Chief of General Staff also cast a concerned look and was equally curious about the attitude of the Second War Zone.
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the communications squad solemnly picked up the telegram and read it aloud:
"First of all, congratulations on your new achievements. This great victory has boosted the morale of the nation. All officers and soldiers of the Second War Zone extend their congratulations to the Eighth Route Army!"
"At the same time, in recognition of the First Battalion's great victory, the Second Theater of Operations will award the following equipment: two 82mm mortars, five hundred Type 6.5 rifles, ten heavy machine guns, twenty Czech light machine guns, two hundred thousand mm bullets, and two hundred thousand French francs!"
The communications squad soldier spoke briefly and quickly listed all the rewards for the Second War Zone.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but be shocked.
Oh my goodness, the Second War Zone really spent a lot of money this time. This old man Yan, who has always been stingy, was willing to give out so many treasures as rewards!
For a time,
Everyone was surprised at the rewards from the Second War Zone. The equipment was not a small number. There were 500 Type 38 rifles and 30 light and heavy machine guns, all good stuff!
"Oh, why isn't the Second War Zone so stingy this time? It's so generous. These rewards are enough to equip a main battalion. It's really a lot!" Commander Liu said with a hint of sarcasm.
Obviously,
The rewards from the Second War Zone this time exceeded everyone's expectations.
The Eighth Route Army had won many battles before, but such a generous reward was rare, especially when it came from the notoriously stingy old man Yan, which surprised the leaders of the headquarters.
As soon as Commander Liu finished speaking, the instructor next to him also laughed: "It seems that Old Man Yan is really anxious this time. The Second War Zone has been defeated on the front line. Now many people in the country are planning to attack the Second War Zone!"
"Speaking of which, our 18th Group Army is also a unit under the Second Theater Command, so this great victory naturally also has a share of credit from the Second Theater Command!"
At this point, Instructor Deng had a smile on his face that showed he had seen through everything.
"If I'm not mistaken, they will definitely intervene in this propaganda. Taking out these weapons and equipment is nothing more than an attempt to shut us up and make us complain less!"
Have to admit,
Instructor Deng’s guess was not without reason. Faced with the Second War Zone’s continuous defeat, such a great victory was indeed needed to stabilize the morale of the troops.
Not to mention,
Because the front line is tight,
This has caused dissatisfaction among the superiors, and I guess Old Man Yan is now in a state of panic. This time, there happened to be an amazing victory in completely annihilating the Yamazaki Battalion, and it was a masterpiece of the troops under his command.
It would be strange if we don’t seize such a good publicity opportunity!
"Hey, no matter what, Old Man Yan is pretty fast, and he really spent a lot of money this time. Since he wants to shut us up, we'll just accept the hush money!" At this point, the deputy commander-in-chief smiled.
There's something infectious about that smile.
Thinking of Old Man Yan's frustrated look, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Okay, the commendation for the Second War Zone has come down, but how should the Pidu government reward us?" The Deputy Chief of the General Staff asked the question in his mind, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
After hearing this,
The deputy commander shook his head and said, "We can't wait any longer. Let's spread the good news!"
Now that the war is imminent, we need such a great victory to inspire people. This matter cannot be delayed and time is pressing.
The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded, his expression becoming serious:
"Okay, I'll arrange this right away!"
……
The night is getting darker,
The Eighth Route Army Headquarters sent a plain text telegram, which quickly spread throughout the country and even the world through radio waves.
Telegram content,
It was the amazing record created by the guard regiment led by Qin Hai. In the Battle of Yaozigou, they crushed the Yamazaki Battalion, known as the elite of the Japanese devils, almost unscathed and annihilated the enemy forces. This amazing victory spread not only throughout the country, but also around the world.
……
As this clear-code telegram was sent out, the whole country was in an uproar.
All Chinese people have patriotism in their hearts, and their hatred for those cruel and tyrannical Japanese invaders is beyond words.
This time,
Not only did we win a great victory, but we also completed the mission of annihilating the enemy in this ambush with an extremely high exchange ratio.
of course,
There is naturally some exaggeration in the publicity, and the extreme exchange ratio is not reported truthfully.
after all,
If we say that they wiped out the enemy without any damage, such an amazing record is indeed unbelievable.
Even so, this feat of the Guard Corps is enough for the people of the whole country to celebrate.
Simultaneously,
The news of the great victory on the front line was quickly notified to major newspapers. In order to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army's propaganda, printing work had been prepared a month in advance.
When the news reached the ears of the people,
The Eighth Route Army Headquarters officially launched its propaganda work, and the newspapers that had already been printed were no longer covered and were quickly sold on streets across the country.
In less than half a day,
The whole country was in an uproar, boiling with excitement over the great victory at the front. In every city, in every street and alley, countless people were holding newspapers, running and cheering excitedly in the streets.
"Great victory on the front line, great victory on the front line! The Eighth Route Army has created an amazing record, completely annihilating the Yamazaki Battalion of the Japanese invaders in Yaozigou, and at the same time killing the Second Major, a total of more than a thousand Japanese invaders have been eliminated!"
"..."
on the street,
Countless newsboys were running, cheering and shouting.
These running and shouting newsboys were soon surrounded by patriotic compatriots. Some educated compatriots generously donated money and bought newspapers from the newsboys, eager to learn about the latest situation on the front line.
Simultaneously,
Some illiterate people, but soon some enthusiastic and educated people took the initiative to buy the newspapers and stand on high places to read aloud the announcements published in the newspapers.
The contents are roughly the same, all of which demonstrate the boiling passion in the hearts of the Chinese people. The great victory at Yaozigou and its amazing results completely annihilated the invading Japanese Yamazaki Battalion.
