Xia Yang sighed, stretched out his hand, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, Zuo Wen, I understand your situation."
After finishing speaking, he shouted: "The transport team's vehicles will be vacated immediately, and the wounded will be taken to the rear hospitals first."
"yes!"
The commander of the transportation battalion in the distance shouted.
Hearing this, Zuo Wen looked at Xia Yang with great gratitude and saluted him with a standard military salute.
"Okay, I know your situation is difficult. Since you are assisting us in fighting, it is natural for us to assist you in treating the wounded."
Xia Yang said with a smile.
Although Xia Yang said this, Zuo Wen was still very excited.
Those soldiers were all brought out by him. It would be a pity if they died here because their injuries were not treated in time.
After chatting with Zuo Wen some more, Xia Yang strolled to the embankment of the Yellow River.
Here, the ground beneath his feet was muddy, and as far as the eye could see, it was filled with corpses that had not yet been cleaned up, covering the entire river bed.
Among the corpses, most were Japanese soldiers, with a small number of corpses from the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army mixed in among them.
The Yellow River changed its course before, causing the river bed here to dry up, leaving only the center of the river bed with some silt.
"Commander Xia, when are we going to fight?"
Zuo Wen asked loudly from the side.
With his hands behind his back and looking at the south bank of the Yellow River, Xia Yang said with deep eyes: "It's not far away, just in the next few years."
With that said, he turned around, stepped on the muddy soil, and walked towards the bottom of the Yellow River embankment.
In this battle, the last Japanese force in the Hebei area was completely eliminated.
The ruling forces in the entire Hebei region at this time are the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army.
If other national army units get along with these Eighth Route Army troops, there will inevitably be a lot of friction and disputes.
These soldiers of the Fourth Army have fought side by side with the main force of the Eighth Route Army many times.
They once fought bloody battles with the Japanese army in the mountains and forests of Shanxi, fought with the Japanese army on the vast plains of northern Henan, and even fought with the Japanese army in the coastal areas of Pingjin and Tianjin.
The friendship accumulated over a long period of time not only exists between senior officers, but also widely exists among soldiers at the grassroots level.
This battle that took place on the Yellow River Embankment was called the Yellow River Blockade by later generations.
Although the battle only lasted for more than a day, the intensity was not inferior to any other battle.
This battle was also regarded as a model for the Fourth Army to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in the war of resistance.
The Yellow River Blockade was regarded by later historians as the last battle in which the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army worked together to regain North China.
In this battle, the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army worked together to annihilate more than 8,500 Japanese troops, and injured more than 7,000 Japanese troops.
Compared with the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army also suffered heavy losses.
A brigade of tens of thousands of people suffered nearly two-thirds casualties.
A total of four thousand Eighth Route Army soldiers died on the Yellow River embankment. There were more than 7,000 wounded soldiers.
A considerable number of them are seriously injured.
Fortunately, the Fourth Army at that time used its relatively complete medical system to ensure timely treatment for these wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.
Later Brigadier Zuo Wenzuo described Xia Yang this way in his memoirs "A Life in the Army".
¡°He is not young, only in his twenties, but his eyes are very bright and his momentum is extraordinary. He speaks with concern and greetings, and looks at the lost land with anger and unwillingness in his eyes.
We had a lot of wounded at that time, so he allocated a transport battalion to transport the wounded for us. Some seriously injured people were transported by transport aircraft to hospitals with better conditions in Shanxi for treatment.
I, Zuo Wen, consider myself a hero in my life, but compared to Commander Xia, I am like the light of a firefly to the bright moon. "
Xia Yang didn¡¯t know how future generations would evaluate him in history books.
He doesn¡¯t care about these, he only cares about when he can regain the lost mountains and rivers inch by inch.
After the Yellow River Blockade, the Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army achieved joint governance of the recovered areas in Hebei, Pingjin, and northern Henan.
The armies of both sides get along extremely harmoniously, which can be called a model of "KMT-CCP ??cooperation."
But this kind of "cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party" is not??Some senior leaders of the Kuomintang want to see it.
Among them was Mr. Zhongzheng, China¡¯s top military commander and top political leader at the time.
In mid-September, Chongqing is still steaming with no coolness of autumn.
On both sides of the Jialing River, in clusters of broad-leaved forests, the chirping of birds and the roars of various wild animals echo the boatman's call.
Although the people on the riverside were often bombed by the Japanese army, they were still living their lives as usual.
Behind the bamboo forest, outside a quiet and elegant mansion, soldiers with loaded guns raised their heads and held their chests high, their eyes burning like fire.
Chief He got off the jeep, straightened his clothes, then stepped on the soft bamboo leaves under his feet and walked into the mansion.
The soldiers on duty all knew him and never stopped him.
Commander He entered the residence unobstructed and saw the chairman of the committee sitting in the pavilion next to the pond not far away, sipping fragrant tea and playing chess with the man opposite.
The middle-aged man opposite had piercing eyes, eyebrows like swords, and a smile on his lips, as if he already had a chance to win.
That is Chen Cheng, a senior general within the Kuomintang Party and the leader of the civil engineering department within the Kuomintang Party.
Suddenly, the chairman of the committee opposite dropped a chess piece, then chuckled, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and sipped it slowly.
Opposite him, Chen Cheng, who originally had an expression of hope for victory, saw the move made by the Chairman, and immediately began to scratch his head in distress, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
In the end, he reluctantly picked up a few chess pieces, threw them on the chessboard and said, "Come on, I admit defeat."
The chairman seemed quite proud, but he didn't show it too much. Instead, he covered the raised corners of his mouth with the teacup he held up.
Seeing He Yingqin coming, he said, "What's the matter? Yingqin."
He Yingqin walked over quickly, nodded to Chen Cheng beside him, and reported: "Great victory!! Great victory in the Yellow River Blockade! The two Japanese divisions in Shandong tried to meet the tens of thousands of Japanese troops who finally retreated.
As a result, more than 10,000 people were killed or injured, but they failed to succeed.
The tens of thousands of North China Expeditionary Forces who were surrounded were all annihilated.
For more detailed casualty figures, the Fourth Army Headquarters is still making statistics and will not report them for another two days. "
Hearing these words, Chen Cheng and the Chairman did not show any expressions of joy on their faces. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
