Chongqing camp, 7:30 p.m.
Gu Zhu, director of the battalion, and a first-class general of the army, personally met with Chairman Chiang, China's supreme commander.
"Commission, great joy, Luokouling victory" Hearing this, Chairman Jiang immediately snatched the telegram from Gu Zhutong's hand, and after reading it, he was also very excited, and shouted the word "good" three times in a row.
More than 22,000 Japanese troops were annihilated Killed 1 lieutenant general and 4 major generals of the Japanese army It takes 26 hours More than 13,000 people were killed or wounded For a time, the chairman's heart was surging, excited, and indescribable.
All in all, this great victory is exciting After more than ten minutes, the chairman of the committee woke up from his excitement and said to Gu Zhutong: "Mo San, pass on my order to promote Wang Zhangxu, commander-in-chief of the 29th Group Army, to the deputy commander of the 9th Theater, and award a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, a first-class Baoding Medal, and a Guoguang Medal. ” Remarks: The Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, regardless of rank, is awarded to the army, navy and air force for outstanding military achievements in resisting foreign aggression in wartime; The Order of Baoding is divided into nine classes, with the first to fourth classes awarded to generals, the third to sixth classes awarded to school officers, the fourth to seventh classes awarded to lieutenants, and the sixth to ninth classes awarded to warrant officers, warrant officers and soldiers; The Order of National Glory, regardless of rank, is awarded to soldiers of the army, navy and air force who have made special military contributions in resisting foreign aggression and defending the country; Among them, the medal with the highest gold content and the highest honor of the government of the Republic of China is the Great Medal of Jade Mining, and the center is the jade national emblem.
The reason why the jade medal is selected is because from ancient times to the present, the people of the country have compared jade to the virtue of a gentleman and symbolize the supreme honor.
There is a saying in the Book of Rites: "A gentleman is more virtuous than jade, gentle and benevolent." ” There is also a saying in the Book of Songs: "A gentleman who thinks of words is as warm as jade." ” The Grand Order of Jade Mining can only be worn by the head of state, or as a gift to the head of a friendly country.
After a pause, Chairman Jiang said again: "In addition, let Wang Zhangxu and Xue Yue draw up a list of meritorious personnel, and let the Military Commission study it, if there is no big problem, they will all be satisfied."
"In a word, the promotion of those who should be promoted, and the award of medals that should be awarded, must not chill the bloody officers and soldiers."
"Please rest assured, the humble post will be done immediately," Gu Zhutong said.
After finishing speaking, Gu Zhutong did not leave immediately, but asked with some caution: "Chairman of the committee, there is also the matter of the pension for the fallen soldiers mentioned in the telegram, do we still want to pay it out." ” pension Hearing these three words, the chairman of the committee fell silent “” Chairman Chiang sat down on the sofa without saying a word, rubbing his hands tightly against the crutches in his hands.
Since the Tang Dynasty in China, all dynasties have had a pension system for fallen soldiers, and the government of the Republic of China also has it, and it is relatively generous.
This is also the fundamental reason why the chairman of the National Committee was able to quickly seize the national power and subdue hundreds of warlords, large and small, after the Northern Expedition.
When soldiers eat food, they not only have settling-in allowance and military salary, but also have a high pension for the dead, so that the soldiers dare to die without serving their strength However, the war against Japan in the past year not only consumed a lot of the strength of the Nationalist army, but also nearly exhausted all the war reserves of the Nationalist Government.
Pensions, to put it bluntly, are money Since the fall of Shanghai, Hangzhou, and other coastal cities, the financial situation of the Nationalist Government has fallen again and again, not to mention pensions, and it is difficult to even pay monthly military salaries and settling-in allowances for newly recruited soldiers.
In the first battle of Luokouling, more than 13,000 soldiers were killed, even according to the minimum standard, it also needed hundreds of thousands of oceans Seeing that the chairman of the committee was silent for a long time, Gu Zhutong said cautiously: "Commission, if you don't have the pension this time, you will not pay it for the time being, just like the previous times, and we will pay it again when our finances are slowed down." ” "Knock, knock, knock" Immediately, Chairman Jiang used his crutches to hit the floor again and again, and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers who died in battle died for the sake of the nation, for the country, and for the fight against the Japanese invaders, and even if they lost the battle, now that the 29th Group Army has achieved such a big victory, if the pension is not issued, what will the officers and men of the 29th Group think?"
"All the ministries of the national army, how do you view the government?"
"How do the 40,000,000 people in the country view the government?"
"Therefore, the government's finances are tight, and it has to come up with money to give the soldiers a full pension, and the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions must not shed blood and tears."
Hearing this, Gu Zhutong praised it: "The commission is wise" After a pause, he said, "Bench, there is one last question that you need to decide personally." ” "Hmm" At that moment, Chairman Jiang frowned.
It's up to me to decide I've set the tone for the face pension, and there's a big problem Gu Zhutong said with a solemn face: "Commission, if you look at these two telegrams again, Wang Zhangxu and Xue Yue both praised the White Tiger Column of the Eighth Route Army that participated in the battle this time. ” White Tiger Column of the Eighth Route Army I'd like to hear it somewhere Suddenly, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but suddenly realize: "Oh, I remember, at the beginning of the month, at the beginning of the month, the White Tiger Column of a brigade of the enemy Japanese army was annihilated at the Fairy Lake in Taihang Mountain."
"It's a good memory" Gu Zhutong smiled and slapped another fart quietly.
"The day before yesterday, the 106th Division of the Japanese Army raided Wuchang, and the defenders of Wuchang were ineffective, that is, the White Tiger Column held the city, and also took the initiative to attack, destroying the Japanese artillery wing and annihilating thousands of Japanese troops."
"At the same time, the strategy of driving the dog into the hole and the choice of the ambush site in Luokouling were also proposed by Ouyang Yang, the commander of the White Tiger Column."
"In the end, it was also the White Tiger Column, in the Luokoudian area, which dragged the 136th Brigade of the Japanese reinforcements to the death, providing sufficient time for the 29th Group Army to annihilate the 106th Division."
Gu Zhutong's voice fell, and Chairman Jiang's face sank completely.
The chairman did not want to hear the news of the victory of the Eighth Route Army Gu Zhutong knew this deeply, and immediately decided to add another fire.
"Commission, Xue Laohu and Wang Zhangxu, both suggested that the White Tiger Column be given a regular brigade-level establishment."
Regular brigade-level establishment At that moment, the chairman's face turned red.
At present, the Eighth Route Army has only 2 divisions and 6 brigades in the establishment of the National Revolutionary Army, which is to curb the development and growth of the Eighth Route Army, but this time the White Tiger Column has made such a great contribution, and the government cannot ignore it Outside Wuchang City, Luokou Ridge.
Colonel Hu Sanmin, commander of the garrison at Wuchang Railway Station, sent good news to Ouyang.
"Commander Ou, Chief Xue agreed to your request, and transferred the military columns on the front line to you first, that is, on the morning of the 28th, that is, the day after tomorrow."
Number 28 Immediately, Ouyang, Wang Yaqiao, Liu Tongluo, Zhao Gang and others were all overjoyed.
On the 28th, I took the train to Guangzhou, and the three-day journey, that is, I could arrive in Guangzhou on September 30 Colonel Hu Sanmin smiled and said: "Everyone, I want to congratulate you in advance, Commander-in-Chief Wang and Chief Xue, but they are all highly recommended for your department, and Commander Ou's promotion to Major General and Brigade Commander is probably a sure thing."
Major General Brigade Commander Ouyang was suddenly shocked in his heart, the title of major general, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, he had been a bit of an official fan, and the second was the setting of the system to summon fierce generals.
If you want to summon a fierce general with a four-dimensional attribute value of 7580 points, the most important one is the rank of major general.
"Hahaha, it seems that soon I will be able to summon a large number of fierce men again" Ouyang was excited in his heart.
The second update is sent, and the third update continues to be opened t1706231537:
