A colonel staff officer said.

"That's right, just do what you want."

Liang Xiao doesn't pay attention to the details, he only pays attention to the intention behind this matter.

"Yes.

"The colonel's staff immediately cheered up. He was in the Northwest Army before, and he is very good at such things.

Liang Xiao continued to walk forward with his generals and guards, the more they walked, the more shocking they became.

Before many soldiers died in battle, they all died together with the devils. The tragic situation makes people feel sad.

"General, the war zone called again to ask about the battle situation"

Chu Xiangxue caught up with the telegram.

"Get me through Chen Cheng, I want to talk to him."

Naturally, Liang Xiao would not let go of this opportunity to slaughter him. This battle of Wanjialing almost cost him his money, so he must get it back.

"Yes."

Chu Xiangxue hurriedly asked the orderly with a mobile phone to come over, and under the connection of the radio station, he called the commander of the Wuhan Ninth War Zone.

"Hello, Ninth War Zone."

"This is the Wanjialing position. Our Commander Liang wants to talk to Commander Chen."

"Please wait."

"Hi, I'm Chen Cheng."

Chu Xiangxue hurriedly handed the phone to Liang Xiao.

"Commander Chen, I'm Liang Feiyu."

Liang Xiao answered the phone and said in a cold voice.

"Brother Feiyu, what is Wanjialing like? You have to tell me the truth, brother. This is related to the safety of Wuhan and the country of the party and country. You can't be careless."

Chen Cheng said anxiously.

"The Wanjialing battle...is over."

Liang Xiao said slowly.

1Chapter 17 Wanjialing Victory

"it's over"

Chen Cheng on the other end of the phone was a little shocked, and he came back to his senses and asked, "How about victory or defeat?"

"A fiasco."

The corner of Liang Xiao's mouth traced an arc.

Hear the word fiasco.

Chen Cheng's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he asked: "How could this be so? Fei Yu is a famous general of the party and country, known as the nemesis of the Japanese army, how could he be defeated by the 107th Division?"

"Beat swallows all day long, and sometimes get pecked at the eyes. Besides, Liang is also an ordinary person, and failures are inevitable."

Liang Xiao said neither humble nor overbearing.

"It's true, it's just that the war zone and the military and political committee attach great importance to the battle in Wanjialing. Now how do you want me to explain it to the military and political committee?"

Chen Cheng said rather annoyed.

"This matter is easy to handle. Since Liang has issued a military order, everything will naturally be done according to the military law."

Liang Xiao said.

"Fei Yu was joking. The law does not blame the general. You have made great military exploits for the party and the country. The world has seen it, and the military and government officials of the party and the country have also seen it. The failure of Wanjialing is not your responsibility, and you don't need to blame yourself. , but since it has failed, we must quickly think of countermeasures to remedy it, and we must not let: Wanjialing fall into the hands of the Japanese army, otherwise, Wuhan will really be hard to protect.”

Chen Cheng said.

"Commander Chen, what Liang just said about the disastrous defeat was referring to the Japanese army, not our army."

Liang Xiao said.

"what"

Chen Cheng exclaimed: "What did you just say, say it again."

"I said that it was the Japanese army that suffered a disastrous defeat, not our army."

Liang Xiao had no choice but to repeat.

Chen Cheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

After a while, he laughed like thunder and said, "I knew that Fei Yu was a famous general, how could a famous general fall into the sand at Wanjialing, but you really surprised me just now, haha. .....The Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat. This is great and exciting news. I will immediately report it to the Military and Political Council and inform all walks of life, so that the world can see the demeanor of our national army in resisting foreign aggression...."

"Commander Chen, I have one more matter here."

Liang Xiao said.

"Please speak up"

Chen Cheng was overjoyed at the moment, and couldn't help but speak a little louder.

“万家岭一战,26军人,阵亡官兵8000多人,轻重伤兵约6000多人,战斗减员过半,可谓伤亡惨重,自组建以来,二2从未遭受过如此重创,此一仗下来,元气大伤,不过,战果还是很辉煌的,全歼敌107师团,自龟田寿一以下,全部被击毙,少部分逃窜的日军,也都成了我们的俘虏,梁某希望战区可以十六军死伤如此惨重的份上,对阵亡官兵予以抚恤,对26兵员予以补充,当然,武器弹药则是多多益善.”

Liang Xiao said lightly, his tone was full of negotiable meaning, since he opened his mouth, there is no room for others to bargain.

Chen Cheng on the other end of the phone was stunned, and then he remembered that Liang Xiao and his 26th Army and Special Operations Division were not under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Theater. It was also because of the order of the commissioner to support the battle in Wuhan.

"Brother Feiyu, the 26th Army suffered heavy casualties. On behalf of the war zone, I would like to extend my sincere greetings and condolences to the soldiers who died in battle. The pension you proposed, the replenishment of soldiers and guns and ammunition, these... ...It's not a problem, the 26th Army has won such a big victory for the party and the country, I, the commander of the theater, can't be stingy."

Chen Cheng laughed.

"Liang thanked Commander Chen on behalf of the fallen soldiers."

Liang Xiao knew that Chen Cheng would agree, and even if he didn't agree, he could just reach out and ask the committee, and Chen Cheng's face would be unbearable.

"You and I are both soldiers leaders, so don't be so polite. Let's do this first. Wanjialing has won such a big victory. Naturally, we must publicize it well. I will send soldiers to escort the foreign journalists to visit Wanjialing. Let us reporters from Xinhua News Agency report on the spot. Of course, as the commander of this battle, you have to accept interviews to give the people of the whole country a reassurance. By the way, tell us about your tactics, and let the little devils see, Party-state soldiers have no fear of foreign enemies."

Chen Cheng said.

"The commander has an order, and Liang must obey it. It's just that Nanjing seems to be quite uneasy. The Japanese army in Central China is ready to move. The 26th Army must return to garrison as soon as possible. The soldiers and equipment you promised can't be too late."

Liang Xiao was telling Chen Cheng that he only helped so far in the Wuhan battle.

Chen Cheng understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Fei Yu, I promise that your soldiers and equipment will be sent to the Wanjialing position within three days. As for the compensation for the officers and soldiers who died in battle, you can ask your subordinates to send the list." Come up, we will issue the pension after verification as soon as possible.”

"That's very good, Liang won't bother the commander."

Liang Xiao laughed.

"Brother Feiyu commanded a big victory, and he is probably very tired by now, so I won't tell you more."

After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone with a smile, and couldn't wait to pass on the news.

hang up the phone.

Liang Xiao smiled and said to his subordinate generals: "We have won such a big victory for the Ninth War Zone, it's time for them to shed some blood."

"This is what the general said. In this battle, the 26th Army suffered as many as [-] casualties. The war zone has to take care of it. It's just that the soldiers and equipment, I don't think the ninth war zone can have any good soldiers and advanced soldiers." equipment."

Zhou Shiji said.

"The Ninth War Zone is very rich now. There are more than 40 troops under its command. The supply of firearms and ammunition is given priority. The military intelligence department got the news that the commissioner just delivered a batch of American weapons and equipment from Kunming to the Ninth War Zone. It's so good. It's a pity to give the equipment to the ninth war zone."

Liang Xiao laughed.

"It turns out that the general is interested in this batch of American equipment, but then again, the 26th Army has all German equipment, and only American equipment can enter our eyes."

Zhou Shiji laughed.

"I deliberately exaggerated the casualties just now. Firstly, I didn't want the higher-ups to think that our 26th Army had too many establishments. Second, I wanted to get more pensions for the brothers who died in battle."

Liang Xiao said.

"Your intentions, the humble staff understand."

After Zhou Shiji finished speaking, the rest of the generals also nodded.

"After this battle, the 26th Army needs to rest for a while."

When Liang Xiao thought of so many people killed in battle, he still felt somewhat sad, after all, he formed the army by himself.

Chapter 148 Reporter Questions

The news of the great victory at Wanjialing spread quickly in Wuhan City. After receiving the news, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government immediately sent a telegram to Liang Xiao to ask about the progress of the battle.

Liang Xiao telegraphed back to the Military Commission and briefly explained the process of annihilating the enemy.

In the morning of the next day, foreign journalists from the Ninth War Zone, Xinhua News Agency, mainland newspapers and other media reporters came to Wanjialing for interviews.

The first person to interview is Liang Xiao, a famous Chinese and foreign general. The main reason is that he is too famous. From the Battle of Shanghai to the present, he has not experienced a single defeat, and he has always defeated his opponents.

Such generals are rare in the national army. Of course, the media reporters want to interview him more, so as to gain the attention of the people and increase the sales of the newspaper.

Liang Xiao already had a lot of experience in dealing with reporters. He arranged all the reporters in a simple reception room and asked his staff to inform the media reporters that he only had 10 minutes to be interviewed. It cannot go beyond the circle of the Wanjialing Battle. If anyone asks other questions, he refuses to answer them.

The reception room was full of Chinese and foreign journalists, about 30 people, almost including famous media reporters at home and abroad.

"The general is here."

A stern voice sounded from outside the door.

In the eyes of the reporters, a tall and tall young general walked in from the door, wearing a general uniform and a general coat, the rank of lieutenant general on the collar was pleated, and walked in with smooth and bright leather shoes .

After seeing him appear, all the reporters immediately stood up to show their respect.

"Everyone sit down."

Liang Xiao pressed his hands down, and then he walked up to sit down:.

"My friends from the press, the Wanjialing battle has just ended, and Mr. Liang has a lot of military affairs to deal with. If you have any questions, please ask them within 10 minutes. We won't wait when it's too late."

Liang Xiao said.

"General Liang, how did you annihilate the 107th Division of the Japanese Army?"

A reporter from a mainland newspaper hurriedly asked.

Liang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "The 1st Division was annihilated, mainly due to the desperate efforts of the soldiers. If you want to know how the soldiers fought bravely against the little devils, I suggest you go and interview the generals of the 26th Army. Warrior, they will give you a satisfactory answer."

"Excuse me, General, how did you feel after commanding the troops to wipe out the 107th Division?"

A reporter from the Minsheng newspaper asked.

"I have a lot of feelings. First of all, the Japanese army is not as strong as the rumors. They all have one head, two arms and two legs. They are no different from us. As long as the bullets hit them, they will fall to the ground and bleed. Fry them to pieces."

Liang Xiao said.

"The ancients said, lofty sentiments, lofty aspirations, once the general commanded the elite troops to destroy the most elite divisions of the Japanese army, you did not have the emotion to point out the mountains and rivers"

Reporters don't "point out mountains and rivers, that's the business of politicians. I am a soldier, and a soldier's bounden duty is to defend the country. If you have to say what you think, then my biggest feeling is pity. You only know the great victory in Wanjialing, but Who knows, behind the great victory, tens of thousands of soldiers of our 26th Army paid for their blood. They are all young. If it wasn't for the war, they might live a well-dressed life like you. As a farmer, he worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and was safe and sound, but the little devils started a war. In order to defend their homeland and the world, they had to go to the battlefield. Commanders of the campaign, I deeply regret and mourn their sacrifices."

What Liang Xiao said was extremely painful, and even his voice was a little hoarse. This is not pretending, but a real heartache, grieving for those officers and soldiers who died in the battle .

"General Renyi."

The reporter bowed deeply in silence.

"The general wiped out the 107th division of the Japanese army in the first battle at Wanjialing, wiped out over [-] enemies, and has a brilliant record. Looking around the world, no one can compare with the general's military exploits. According to your military exploits, this second-level general should also be promoted. Level one."

A middle-aged reporter said.

Liang Xiao took a sharp look at the reporter, and said calmly: "Liang led the army to fight against the Japanese invaders. Although his military exploits were a bit meager, he couldn't compare with the senior generals of the party and state. Besides, Liang didn't have enough qualifications... , to be able to wear the rank of lieutenant general is already an honor from the commissioner and the officers of the military and political council, a first-level general, I really dare not think about it."

"The general is too modest. With your combat achievements, no one can compare with you in the world. You deserve to be promoted to the first rank of general."

The middle-aged reporter said.

"Today's interviews are limited to the Wanjialing battle. Other issues are not allowed to report, let alone ask questions. Anyone who privately reports on issues that have nothing to do with the war has ulterior motives. I will doubt whether he is a spy sent by the Japanese side. .”

Liang Xiao warned.

As soon as this word comes out.

The reporters who... were about to ask questions visibly shrank.
