    Chapter 110: Swearing-in Conference (Part 2)

    After signaling everyone to be quiet, Li Guoyao pointed to another tall soldier wearing a gray military uniform and asked: "Soldier, which army are you originally from?"

    "Sir, Private Zhang Yong of the 174th Division of the 21st Army of the Guangxi Army would like to say hello to you, sir!" the big soldier replied.

    Hearing that this soldier was actually from the Gui Army, Li Guoyao's eyes suddenly lit up. The Gui Army is great. The Gui Army can be said to be the "fighter among the miscellaneous troops." It had an impressive record during the warlord melee period.  It is also the only faction among the major local powerful factions in China that can compete with Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army.

    And the Gui army is indeed brave in battle, and it is easy to praise, and it can easily improve the morale of the troops.

    Li Guoyao cleared his throat and said: "The Gui Army is another heroic army! After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the 7th Army and the 48th Army of the Guangxi Army were urgently transferred to Shanghai to form the 21st Group Army, with Liao Lei as commander.  When the 21st Group Army arrived in Shanghai, the Japanese army broke through the south bank of Rozaobang, putting the field in danger. The Chinese army was preparing to organize a large-scale counterattack to restore the position on the south bank of Rozaobang. Bai Chongxi, leader of the Guangxi clique and deputy chief of general staff, took the initiative to propose that the 21st Group Army  to carry out this massive counterattack."

    "The Gui army relied entirely on their bloody bravery, and after a night of fierce fighting, they captured Chenjiaxing and Taoyuan Bang in the early morning of the 22nd. On the 4th, the Japanese army launched a fierce attack across the board. The fierce and tyrannical artillery fire was unprecedented since the Songhu Battle.  . The Japanese army released smoke as a cover during the attack. The Gui army mistakenly thought it was poison gas. The morale of the army was in chaos, and the front line position was immediately breached."

    "The commander of the 174th Division, Wang Zanbin, personally went to the front line to supervise the battle and tried his best to organize the troops to resist the Japanese onslaught. However, in the end, the troops suffered heavy casualties in the counterattack and were unable to follow up. By the afternoon of that day, positions such as Tanjiatou and Chenjiaxing had been lost. The Guangxi Army tried its best  We could only barely maintain our position south of Zoumatang. At this point, this only large-scale counterattack in the positional battle phase ended in failure."

    "Although this battle was lost, the Guangxi Army's 2 corps and 6 divisions participated in the Songhu Battle. They not only launched a powerful counterattack, but also tenaciously blocked the Japanese army in the final stage of the battle to cover the retreat of the main force, at the cost of nearly 5 casualties.  The huge sacrifice of thousands of people is worthy of the praise of the "Steel Army"."

    As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into applause that lasted for a long time!

    "Soldier, answer me, which army are you originally from?"

    "Sir, the former private soldier Xue Biao of the 16th Division of the Hunan Army salutes you!"

    "As the saying goes, "There is no army without Hunan." Almost all factional armies have soldiers from Hunan, and the Hunan Army, mainly composed of Hunanese, is an army famous for its toughness in modern Chinese history."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "The Hunan Army was also the first unknown force to enter the Songhu battlefield. The 62nd Division of the 8th Army arrived in Pudong, Shanghai in mid-August. In addition, the 10th Army, which was mainly adapted from the old Hunan Army, was stationed on the south bank of Hangzhou Bay.  , joined the war one after another after September. The 15th Division and 16th Division that stayed in Hunan were ordered to be transferred eastward at the end of August. These two divisions are the best in the Hunan Army, with relatively good equipment and good quality of officers and soldiers. They first entered the battlefield.  They were even more energetic and gave the invading Japanese troops a head-on blow at the front lines of Luodian and Liuhang."

    "During the Battle of Songhu, about 80,000 Hunan troops participated in the battle, more than a quarter of all participating troops. They were the largest number of participating troops among all the miscellaneous troops. Their performance was extremely heroic and fully reflected the heroic spirit of San Hunan's athletes.  .¡±

    "The Guangdong Army, the Iron Army on the Songhu Battlefield! The Cantonese Army participating in the Songhu Battle were the 4th Army and the 66th Army. They are both veteran elites of the Guangdong Army. Especially the 4th Army was the famous "Iron Army" during the Northern Expedition.  . But it was already October when the Guangdong army arrived in Shanghai, and the Chinese army gradually fell into passivity. Therefore, these two main forces that are good at offense can only be used for defense, and they feel a bit weak. And other miscellaneous troops  Similarly, the Guangdong army also fought bloody battles on the battlefield and suffered heavy casualties. Major General Gong Huimin, commander of the 270th Brigade of the 90th Division of the 4th Army, died."

    ?¡­

    "The Guizhou Army, this may be the smallest force among the miscellaneous troops on the Songhu Battlefield. Although nominally 2 divisions and 1 brigade participated in the Songhu Battle, the 121st Division has been serving as the guard of the military station headquarters.  As well as railway escort tasks, it did not directly participate in the war. Only the 102nd Division arrived in Shanghai at the end of October and was placed under the command of Hu Zongnan of the 17th Army."

    "It is worth mentioning that because Hu Zongnan suffered heavy casualties after days of hard fighting and was in urgent need of reinforcements, the 607th Regiment of the 102nd Division was ordered to move to Beixinjing and return to the command of the 1st Division of the 1st Army, and the 612th Regiment was ordered to move to Tingtou Town to return to the 8th Army  The corps commanded the division, the 609th Regiment, and the supplementary regiment as reserves. After this order, the officers and soldiers of the 102nd Division generally believed that it was to dismember the 102nd Division. However, the division commander Bai Huizhang calmed the emotions of his subordinates and ordered the two transferred regiments to obey the command.  , resolutely fight against?In the first battle, let the record speak for itself. If anyone shakes the morale of the army and engages in military law, Commander Bai Huizhang's overall view is indeed commendable.  "

    "In the Battle of Songhu, although the number of Guizhou Army troops participating in the battle was not large, their performance was no worse than that of other troops. They won unanimous praise with their loyalty and bravery, especially their overall view of obeying commands."

    After turning around in a circle, Li Guoyao returned to the top of the small dirt bag and saw him standing against the wind. Although his military uniform was in tatters, it could not conceal his iron-blooded military demeanor!

    "After talking about the Sichuan Army, the Guangxi Army, the Hunan Army, the Guangdong Army and the Guizhou Army, let me, Li Guoyao, talk about our Northeast Army. I, Li Guoyao, former major staff officer of the 67th Army of the Northeast Army! Our Northeast Army became nothing after the September 18th Incident.  They are like duckweeds, wandering around. Because they are well aware of the pain of national subjugation and suffer from the reputation of "non-resistance", the Northeastern Army naturally has much stronger determination and courage to resist the war than other miscellaneous troops."

    Then Li Guoyao continued: "Before the Battle of Songhu, our 67th Army was originally fighting the Japanese army in North China. However, due to the deterioration of the situation on the Songhu battlefield, the 49th Army and the 67th Army of our Northeast Army were urgently transferred to Shanghai. Our department  It arrived in Qingpu on November 3. At this time, the situation on the Songhu battlefield was already very critical. The 67th Army was ordered to cooperate with the 26th Division of the 43rd Army of the Sichuan Army to "defend Songjiang for three days" from the 6th to the 8th to cover the retreat of the main force."

    "The 67th Army rushed to Songjiang and went into battle before they had time to build fortifications. On that day, the Japs forcibly crossed the Huangpu River. The 67th Army used artillery to suppress the Japanese artillery, and concentrated light and heavy machine guns to hit Japanese motorboats and sailboats, repelling the Japanese force's forced crossing. On the 8th, the main force of the Japanese army  When they arrived, the offensive was extremely fierce. The 108th Division fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Litahui. They fought repeatedly and the position changed hands three times. Army Commander Wu Keren personally led the charge and drove the Japanese army back."

    "The Northeastern Army is well-equipped and has the shame of not resisting. It is a completely miserable army determined to fight to the death. Since it was already the point when the battle situation was irreversible when it arrived at the Songhu battlefield, it could only be used as a rear-end unit. Although it suffered heavy losses  , but still completed the scheduled cover mission.¡±

    ¡°In the Battle of Songjiang, the 67th Army suffered heavy casualties. In addition to Army Commander Wu Keren, Army Major General Wu Tonggang, Chief of Staff, 108th Division Major General Chief of Staff Deng Yuzhuo, 322 Brigade Major General Liu Qiwen, 321 Brigade Major General Zhu Zhirong, and 8 regiment commanders were killed.  , the 107th Division suffered all losses, and the 108th Division suffered more than two-thirds of its casualties. Wu Keren was also the only lieutenant general who died for his country in the Battle of Songhu, a hero for the ages."

    At this point, Li Guoyao calmed down his excited tone, and then continued: "Brothers, like everyone else, I am a defeated soldier who withdrew from the Songhu front line. Although we lost Shanghai, I am still proud of us!  "

    "Yes, it's pride! It's not our soldiers' fault that the country is weak, but we did not give up resistance in the face of the enemy's crazy attack by aircraft, tanks and artillery. We are heroes!"

    "Brothers, although we have backward weapons and insufficient training, and perhaps our casualties during the battle are indeed greater than those of the enemy, we still fight to the death and inflict heavy casualties on the enemy. We have made the enemy pay blood for blood. In this battle  During the war, we Chinese people were not afraid of powerful enemies and fought to the death with the invaders. Despite the huge disparity in national power, we still made the arrogant Japanese "Imperial Army" pay a heavy price. Whether it was five years or ten years  No matter how many years, as long as there is one soldier resisting, China will not be destroyed!"

    "The sword pointed at the Japanese invaders' heads, the horses trampled on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, the enemies were killed and raped, and the enemies were frightened. China will not be destroyed as long as I have it!"

    "As long as China has me, it will never perish!"

    "As long as China has me, it will never perish!"

    "As long as China has me, it will never perish!"
