"Commander Liang, I'm afraid your hands won't be able to reach you."
Sun Yuanliang laughed and said.
Liang Xiao turned around and didn't look at him. There's nothing he can do because he's too cheap. He's not from the Military Court, so it's impossible to follow him all day and see what he does all day. Pinch, today is the day of celebration, everyone is looking at our Whampoa generals, if you two continue to quarrel, you will not only lose face to our Whampoa soldiers, but also lose face to the principal."
Hu Zongnan reprimanded him.
Chapter 245 Honor Ceremony
"Appointment."
The attendant military officer yelled, and the hall fell silent instantly, Yaque was silent.
All eyes were on the second floor.
The commissioner walked down from the second floor, wearing the uniform of a super general and leaning on a cane.
As he walked, he waved to people from all walks of life downstairs.
"Fei Yu, in a moment...the principal will announce your promotion order in public, this is a great opportunity to show your face."
Dai Li whispered in Liang Xiao's ear.
Liang Xiao doesn't think this is something to show his face. If possible, he would rather not come to this celebration party. For him, if he has time to attend the celebration party, he might as well discuss with Tang Ying for a while...philosophy of life , study with Wang Yingxia for a while... the experience of two-player combat, and discuss with Hu Die the origin of the two heavens of ice and fire.
Anyway... In his opinion, this kind of celebration meeting with a certain purpose violates the meaning of the word celebration.
If it is really a celebration, it should also be a collective celebration of the soldiers who participated in the war, not just those senior generals called by the military and political council to participate in the awarding of honors.
"Good appointment."
People from all walks of life greeted the committee.
Appointed one by one to shake hands with...
The first ones are all celebrities in the cultural circles, as well as high-ranking government officials, such as Song Ziwen, Kong Xiangxi and other government officials. The military generals are divided into three waves. The first wave is representatives of local powerful generals. The first wave is the generals of the Baoding Department, they stand in the middle, and the second wave is the generals of the Huangpu Department, standing on the right side of the hall.
On the side of the Huangpu faction, the leader is still Hu Zongnan, followed by Song Xilian, Sun Yuanliang and other generals.
Liang Xiao didn't squeeze together with them, he and his generals stood behind the generals of the Huangpu Department.
"Boss, why are you standing with us, why are you standing back for such a revealing matter?"
Zhou Shiji whispered.
Liang Xiao said angrily: "You know what a fart, I seem to have unlimited scenery now, but the more beautiful I am, the more I have to hide my clumsiness. It's not like you don't understand the truth that if a tree is beautiful, it will be destroyed by the wind in the forest."
"That's the time to score. Today is the day of celebration, and it's a good opportunity for you to show your face. It's too irresponsible for you to shrink back like this."
Zhou Shiji said.
"Shut up, for a while... the commissioner will also award you honors. When you go up, show your momentum and don't embarrass me."
Liang Xiao exhorted, after all, under the witness of so many people, if anyone went up and made a fool of himself, he, the commander, would make a fool of himself.
"Don't worry, the brothers are fighting, and you won't be ashamed on this occasion."
Zhou Shiji laughed.
Just when the two of them whispered.
Surrounded by the crowd, the commissioner came down to the temporary summit platform, leaning on crutches, standing in front of the broadcast microphone in the center of the summit platform, and said loudly: "Since the War of Resistance, the National Revolutionary Army has sacrificed the lives of countless soldiers in exchange for One victory after another, not long ago, Nanjing Garrison Secretary Xiao led 20 national troops to recover the Songhu area, regained the Great Shanghai, wiped out two divisions and one brigade of the Central China Front Army of the Japanese Army, and handed over countless baggage. It is the greatest victory in the history of the War of Resistance.”
"This victory was not easy to come by. The so-called kill eight hundred enemies and lose one thousand. The 20 national army led by Liang Xiao suffered heavy losses, with casualties as high as tens of thousands. These are... ...The soldiers regained our lost ground with their blood. Today, on behalf of the Military Committee of the National Revolutionary Army, I will hold a celebration meeting here. , the war of resistance is the only way out at the moment, no matter...
How difficult it is, we have to grit our teeth and fight the Japanese, even if the mountains and rivers are broken, we will not hesitate."
"I now declare that Liang Xiao, the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, gave full play to his commanding skills in the decisive battle of Songhu, and led an army of 20 to recover the lost ground for the party and the country. A Xiao Guoguang Medal."
As soon as this statement comes out, there will be those who envy it, those who are jealous, and those who congratulate it.
The Guoguang Medal is not an ordinary medal, it is the highest level of the national government's medal. At present, the Guoguang Medal has only been awarded to one person, and that is after the success of the Northern Expedition.
Today, Liang Xiao became the second recipient of the Guoguang Medal for his military exploits in recovering lost ground.
You must know that the National Glory Medal is more valuable than the gold medal for avoiding death. It symbolizes illustrious military exploits and supreme dignity.
After seeing the reaction below, the committee member continued to speak loudly: "After the military committee's research, the Nanjing Garrison Command was abolished and re-established as the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Garrison Command. Commander, still concurrently commander-in-chief of the No.20 Sixth Army.”
"After a special study by the Military Commission, I nominated Lieutenant General Liang Xiao of the Jin Army as Lieutenant General and the rank of General."
"Liang Feiyu."
The commissioner shouted from above.
"arrive."
Liang Xiao agreed skillfully, and walked up to the summit platform with a standard soldier's walking posture.
"Last year, I hung up the Yunhui Medal, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, the Baoding Medal, the Loyalty Medal, and the Loyalty Medal for you with my own hands. Today, I personally hang up the highest-level medal in the country, the Guoguang Medal."
The committee member was quite amazed. In such a short period of time, Liang Xiaoli's military exploits had won all the medals from the entire state government. He really didn't know what medals the state government could award him next time Liang Xiao made a military exploit. "Student Thank you principal for cultivating."
Liang Xiao raised his chest and stood up in a standard military posture.
Under everyone's envious eyes, the commissioner took the National Glory Medal from the military attache, and personally hung it on the most prominent position on the upper right side of the military uniform for Liang Xiao.
"You and I, teachers and students, don't need to thank you. You have achieved what you have achieved today. The principal is also proud of you and happy for the party and country to have soldiers like you."
The commissioner said in a serious voice.
"Students have nothing to repay, they can only fight bloody battles on the battlefield to repay the cultivation of the principal and the party-state."
Liang Xiao also said with a serious expression.
The committee member nodded in satisfaction.
Liang Xiao stood at attention and saluted. Under the watchful eyes of the committee members, he raised his head and walked down.
As soon as he went down, soldiers from all walks of life who participated in the celebration party applauded loudly.
“下面我宣布,授予No.20六集团军No.20六军少将军长周世济青天白日勋章,授予No.20六集团军No.60六军少将军长孙炳青天白日勋章,授予No.20六集团军新编第十军少将军长曹宪青天白日勋章,授予No.20六集团军新编No.11军少将军长常振国青天白日勋章.......”
The commissioner finished reading in one breath.
2Chapter 16 Liang Xiao talks about the battle
Loud applause sounded in the hall of the mansion.
Zhou Shiji and more than a dozen generals came to the stage, and the commissioner personally awarded them the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal.
The national government's Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is known as the gold medal for avoiding death. So far, the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal has only been awarded to committee members, Zhang Hanqing, Yan Xishan, Li Zongren and other local powerful leaders, as well as Liang Xiao, Hu Zongnan, Song Xilian, Sun Yuanliang and others in Songhu The Huangpu general who made outstanding military exploits in the Anti-Japanese War.
This time, more than a dozen generals including Zhou Shiji, Sun Bing, Cao Xian, and Chang Zhenguo were awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal at the same time. This is the first time in the history of the government.
The award is complete.
The commissioner gave a few words of admonition to the generals who received the medals, and then officially announced that the celebration will begin.
The military attaché announced: "Please invite the Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liang of the Third War Zone to come on stage and explain to everyone the course of the decisive battle in Songhu."
Chi Chi Chi Chi.
The applause sounded again.
Liang Xiao in the audience looked dazed, the attendants didn't inform him that he was going to speak on stage, and he didn't even prepare a draft, so he went up and said something, "Fei Yu, I asked you to come on stage."
Seeing his dazed face, Song Xilian reminded him in a low voice.
"Oh."
Liang Xiao came to his senses, nodded slightly, and walked onto the stage with a wry smile on his face.
"Tell me about the decisive battle in Songhu."
The commissioner said meaningfully.
"Yes, the student understands."
Of course Liang Xiao understands that the appointment is for him to pick up good-sounding words, and the name is to inspire people's hearts, but in fact it is... to fabricate a bunch of lies to deceive his own people.
“诸位,淞沪决战历时一个月零七天,在这37天当中,我南京卫戍部队约20万人,兵分三路,齐头并进,往上海方向推进,中路军队为孙炳的66军和特战师,左翼为曹宪的新编第十军,右翼为常振国的新编No.11军,三路军分别往青阳镇,镇江,宁沪铁路推进,战斗一度打成胶着状态,日军出动四个44旅团又两个师团,一共约为12万人,先后与我三路大军战斗,试图阻挡我军前进脚步.”
“日本海军第三编队在江面上日夜巡逻,吾,试图在吴淞口登陆,被我守卫吴淞口的66军一部击退,日军航空轰炸部队频繁对南,一带进行大规模轰炸,据战后统计,日军在这30多天的轰炸中,毁房屋九千500多,,间,姓伤亡七千600多人,士兵伤亡约4000多人.”
"In the first stage, under the enemy's artillery fire, the squadron of our army waited for work, stuck to the treatment policy, and the two wing troops attacked across the board, trying to form an encirclement from the periphery, and put the main force of the Japanese army into our pockets."
"In the second stage, after our central troops attracted the main force of the enemy, the troops on the two wings moved forward quickly, while our 26th reserve army entered the battlefield at a critical moment, took down the Nanjing-Shanghai Railway with lightning speed, and pushed the front line forward. to the Huangpu River."
"In the third stage, our army attacked across the board. The Japanese army built a position on the Huangpu River and entered a comprehensive defense. Our three-way army joined forces on the other side of the Huangpu River. There were four 44th armies in total, plus two detachments of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, and about eight local troops. 8 guards, two police corps, six 66 security regiments, a total of 20 people, advancing forward in the shape of a ladder."
"In the fourth stage, our army was in a stalemate with the Japanese army again during the offensive. At this time, our Shanghai underground intelligence organization took the initiative to attack and blow up more than 100 planes at Hongkou Airport, causing the Japanese army to lose their air superiority. Our underground intelligence operation department The oil supply to Shanghai was cut off, so Japanese fighter planes had no fuel and could not take off normally.”
"In the fifth stage, Sun Bing, the commander of the 66th Army, led two brigades of special warfare divisions, bypassed the Huangpu River along the mountain road, attacked Pukou Wharf, Zhongshan Railway, and Dahumen, and cut off the Japanese Army Headquarters in Central China and the main force of the Japanese Army. The communication channel of the troops, and our main force on the front line is biting the main force of the Japanese army, making it impossible for them to return to Shanghai quickly."
"In the sixth stage, our army implemented the strategy of building plank roads in the open and hiding the warehouse in the dark. We used 20 troops to contain the main force of the Japanese army, and attacked Shanghai with two brigades of special warfare divisions, annihilating the Japanese military police, patrol brigade, police force, and garrison troops in Shanghai. A total of 8000 people."
"The seventh stage is the critical moment of the decisive battle. Our army of 20 fought bloody battles with the main force of the Japanese army for several days. Under the valiant attack of the soldiers, the Japanese army's defensive formation gradually collapsed. Tens of thousands of Japanese troops were defeated by the main force of our army on the way to retreat. The troops surrounded and wiped out."
"The eighth stage is in the final stage. Before this, the Central China Japanese Army Command was attacked by our aviation bombing formation, and the entire command center was paralyzed. The main force of the Japanese Army was chased and intercepted by our 20 troops. A brigade was transported away by the third formation of the navy, most of the rest of the troops were wiped out, a small part surrendered, and there were no... Japanese troops in the entire Songhu area."
"In the ninth stage, Shanghai is restored, and the land of Songhu is filled with blue sky and white sun flags again."
Liang Xiao briefly talked about it. Most of the people below are people outside the military system. If you tell them professional terms, they can't understand them. Why don't you just say it briefly, as long as you can understand the process.
But some people still didn't understand.
Kong Xiangxi of the Executive Yuan frowned and said: "General Liang, according to what you said, the Japanese army's combat power is not as mysterious as the rumors say, 20 fought against 12, the Japanese army was powerless to fight, and the 12 army collapsed in 37 days. .”
"Principal Kong, the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is very strong. Usually, the casualty ratio between our army and the Japanese army is 55:[-], or even [-]:[-]. For example, a Japanese army can sweep one of our troops on the battlefield." A division-level complete unit."
Liang Xiao said.
"Then why can your troops fight two against one and fight so smoothly?"
After Kong Xiangxi asked, he suddenly felt his old face burning hot. Liang Xiao's reputation as a mighty general is well known in the world, and his troops are known as the trump cards of the national army. The other party has a reorganized division.
"Because the 26th Army is equipped with all German weapons, the morale of the troops is high, and the combat effectiveness is strong. Moreover, our 26th Army has anti-aircraft guns, howitzers, [-] infantry runs, and Krupp mountain guns supported by the Military and Political Council. In terms of firepower, it completely suppressed the Japanese army. The Japanese army lost its air superiority, and the aviation superiority of our Nanjing garrison took advantage of the opportunity. It is normal for the Japanese army to be wiped out by our army in the face of our three-dimensional air and land firepower attack, and there is no leader in the group."
Liang Xiao said slowly.
2Chapter 17 Dogs can't spit out ivory
After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he quickly stepped down from the summit. For him, this kind of exaggeration and bragging about military exploits was something he was not good at. News, what else can he do.
This is also why he talked a lot, but he never talked about how many casualties...soldiers, how much...ammunition, how much...labor, how much...dry food was consumed by the national army, in exchange for it Victory in the battle of Songhu.
"Fei Yu, are you giving a post-war speech?"
Hu Zongnan frowned.
"Brother Shoushan, if you are interested, you can go up and tell everyone about your fruitful victories."
Liang Xiao said angrily.
Hu Zongnan's face was blue and red, he knew that Liang Xiao was trying to squeeze him with words, but he had nothing to refute.
"Tonight is the celebration party, Fei Yu, you are the protagonist, we all want to toast you."
Song Xilian saw that he and Hu Zongnan were fighting, and hurried out to smooth things over.
"Drink by yourselves, and I'll toast the headmaster."
Hu Zongnan didn't give a toast to Liang Xiao. In his eyes, Liang Xiao's qualifications were much lower than his, and he didn't have the right to be with them... one or two...,. ..... The Whampoa generals in the future have a good time with wine.
"Be careful with a hot face and a cold butt."
Liang Xiao hated Hu Zongnan's attitude of putting himself first in everything, as if the Huangpu generals were the best.
Hu Zongnan snorted coldly, then turned to toast the headmaster.
The commissioner was talking to the generals of the local powerful faction at the moment. Hu Zongnan went to toast, but he was interrupted impatiently and told him to go back first.
Really followed Liang Xiao's words, with a hot face and a cold butt.
"General Hu, why didn't you toast the principal?"
Liang Xiao said with a sneer.
"Mind yourself."
Hu Zongnan snorted coldly, turned around and went to whisper to Sun Yuanliang.
