Chapter 178: Frustrated (new book, please watch)
The next afternoon, when the commendation order from the Military and Political Department was issued to the independent brigade headquarters, both Li Guoyao and other officers were shocked!
The imagined organizational upgrades, promotions to military ranks and bonus medals were all in vain. Only 500 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition were given, which completely angered all the officers and soldiers of the independent brigade.
In the small conference room of the temporary brigade headquarters, the commander of the second regiment, Xie Baojun, slapped the table and shouted: "Five hundred guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition, are they just sending them to beg for food? Our losses in this battle are more than that, fuck his grandma!"
"Brigade, is it that bitch who swallowed up our military exploits again? I'm afraid the reward for annihilating a small team is more than this, right?" Li Jianxin, the chief of staff of the second regiment, also said loudly.
"That's right, what the hell is going on? I'm shopping in the front, but why are those sons of bitches in the back like this?"
"What did the military say? Didn't it speak for us?"
"What's going on? Such a great victory shouldn't at least give each of the brothers a level up. The weapons, equipment and bonuses shouldn't be too small, right? If not, who will sacrifice their lives for them in the future?"
?¡
Hearing a group of officers venting their dissatisfaction, Li Guoyao couldn't help but get slightly angry. This time he really didn't expect that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs would make such a decision. As Xie Baojun said, he was just sending away beggars!
Instructing everyone to be quiet, Li Guoyao stood up and said, "Are you not convinced?"
"Of course I'm not convinced. The brothers worked hard and paid the price of more than a thousand casualties. In exchange for this result, who can be convinced?" Chen Zhiyang, deputy commander of the third regiment, said.
"That's right, you're just making a fool of yourself. This is obviously bullying!"
Li Guoyao smiled coldly and said: "If you are not convinced, then you have to be a ninja. Who makes us a miscellaneous army!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was filled with elegance, and you could hear a pin drop.
Before, they were all angry about the unfair rewards, but they never thought about why. After Li Guoyao said this, everyone understood that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs did this because the Independence Brigade was not directly related to the national army.
Almost all the officers present were from the miscellaneous army, and only a few were from the Central Army. They were well aware of the treatment of the miscellaneous troops in the army. It can be said that they charge in front and retreat behind. Winning is the credit of others, and losing is the result of others. In order to resist lightning on their own, they may even take the blame for their superiors when necessary.
As for supplies and supplements, not to mention, they are simply two different concepts from the direct troops, just like a biological mother and a stepmother.
Even though they knew this, when the bloody facts were once again put in front of everyone, everyone was still angry and their hearts were trembling.
At this time, Li Guoyao was also furious. Just a few days after the Nanjing Defense War, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs made such an incident again, which made Li Guoyao's dissatisfaction rise again.
Li Guoyao not only felt worthless for the Independent Brigade, but also felt aggrieved for all the miscellaneous armies. In the entire history of the Anti-Japanese War, it was these miscellaneous armies that people should not forget the most. Compared with the direct lineage of the Central Army of the National Army, The vast majority of the motley crew armed with the crudest weapons fought the Japanese army with blood and flesh to the end, shedding their last drop of blood for the survival of the country and the nation. They are the real heroes.
In the face of national peril, a game of chess was played across the country, and various motley crews put aside their personal grudges and worked together to fight against Japan and save the nation. In Guangxi, the Guangxi Army, led by Li and Bai, responded to the anti-Japanese war and commanded all the soldiers of the 5th Route Army, as well as the 13 million people of Guangxi, to fight the Japanese invaders to the end, without hesitation at any sacrifice.
In Sichuan, Liu Xiang¡¯s troops of the Sichuan Army responded and were determined to resist the Japanese and kill the enemy. Sichuan was willing to send 5 million troops. There is the Ma Jiajun in the northwest; the Jinsui Army in Shanxi; the Yunnan Army under Long Yun in Yunnan; the Guizhou Army led by Bai Huizhang in Guizhou; the Hunan Army led by Li Jue in Hunan, and so on.
??And which of these miscellaneous armies that are different from the direct line of the Central Military Army shed blood on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War? Which war in the Anti-Japanese War did not involve these miscellaneous armies?
For example, the Northwest Army, although the Northwest Army was in disarray before the Anti-Japanese War, still persisted in resisting Japan and participated in the battles of Niangziguan, Taierzhuang, Wuhan, and Suizao; the Sichuan Army participated in the Songhu Battle, Wuhan, Suizao, and Changsha three times. The Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, the Battle of Western Hubei, the Battle of Changde, the Battle of Changheng, the Battle of Guiliu, the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, etc.
In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the commander-in-chief of the 5th theater, Li Zongren, the Gui Army, the Yunnan Army, the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, etc. fought a bloody battle with the elite Itagaki Division and the Isogaya Renjie Division of the Japanese army. Only Tang Enbo of the Central Army participated in the battle.During the Battle of Linyi, Pang Bingxun worked closely with Zhang Zizhong's troops to trap the Japanese 5th Division in Linyi and achieved a great victory in Linyi. In response to the Battle of Xuzhou, the Northeastern Army's Yu Xuezhong Division and the First Division of the Gui Army fought with two Japanese divisions for more than half a month, killing and injuring nearly 10,000 Japanese troops, preventing the Japanese troops on the southern line of Jinpu Road from reinforcing Taierzhuang, and marking a great victory for Taierzhuang. The conditions are prepared for its acquisition.
In the Battle of Dangshan in response to the Battle of Xuzhou, Bai Huizhang led the 102nd Division and fought bloody battles with the Japanese 16th Division for five days and nights, killing and wounding more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers. The division suffered more than 9,700 casualties, and only 2,000 people survived.
And what is out of proportion to the heavy casualties paid by the miscellaneous army is often the huge gap in supplies and equipment. Both the Sichuan and Guizhou armies fought wearing straw sandals. In the Battle of Chaling, many soldiers froze to death. During the Battle of Yuwangshan of the 60th Army of the Yunnan Army, one brigade had only one cannon, and less than one-third of the men in one regiment had bayonets.
The miscellaneous army fought the strongest during the War of Resistance and suffered the heaviest sacrifices. Among the generals who died, most were from miscellaneous armies. There were 105 generals from the Chinese Army who died in the Anti-Japanese War, including 54 from miscellaneous armies: 9 from the Northeast Army, 9 from the Shanxi-Sui Army, 8 from the Northwest Army, and 6 from the Sichuan Army. 6 people from the Gui Army, 4 people from the Yunnan Army, 4 people from the Zhejiang Army, and 4 others.
The person with the highest military rank who died was the general. There were 7 people in total, namely: Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, Hao Mengling, Rao Guohua, Zhang Zizhong, Tang Huaiyuan, and Li Jiayu. In addition, 12 miscellaneous military generals committed suicide and died for their country.
But even so, the miscellaneous army still cannot get fair treatment from the leaders of the National Government. How can this convince people!
"Snapped"
Ma Desheng punched the solid wood Eight Immortals table, creating a big crater on the hard table. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "What the hell, if it weren't for us motley crews standing in front of us, those Central Army troops would have He has already become a prisoner of the Japanese, and those sons of bitches from the Military and Political Department will have something to look forward to in the future!"
"The chief of staff is right, without a motley crew like us, the Central Army would be nothing!"
¡°Damn it, I don¡¯t accept it!¡±
"Don't expect me to save them again in the future, it's so damn suffocating!"
?¡
In fact, neither Li Guoyao nor others in the independent brigade thought that the reason why the Ministry of Military Affairs made such a decision was not because they were a motley crew, but because their record was so amazing that they frightened others. It was thought that he was lying about his military exploits.
But Minister He Jingzhi, who was actually in charge of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Chairman Chiang, who was at a higher level, did not know about this at all. I have to say that this was really a huge misunderstanding.
However, the root cause of all this is the lack of attention paid to local troops by those above. If it were the Central Army that reported victory this time, I am afraid that the Ministry of Military Affairs would not be so casual. At the very least, they would send someone to investigate before making a decision.
So it is said that everything has a cause and a result, and what you sow causes you to reap the results. It seems that there is an arrangement somewhere!
Li Guoyao knocked on the table, and then said: "Okay, don't say anything. This is the award decision given by the Ministry of Military Affairs. We still need to go to Bengbu to get 500 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition! Do you want it? ?¡±
"No, my brothers are not that cheap!" Lu Wenlong shouted loudly.
"Yes, no, our independent brigade is not a beggar. Whoever wants it is his mother's grandson!" Xie Baojun said.
"don't want"
Li Guoyao nodded and said: "Well said, our independent brigade does not lack these 500 guns. I don't care what the reasons are for the Military and Political Department or the Military Commission to make such a decision, but this is a tribute to all the heroes and martyrs who were killed and wounded in our independent brigade. You are disrespectful, so I don¡¯t care about these weapons and equipment!¡±
"When I get back, I will explain this matter clearly to the brothers below. In addition, the brigade headquarters will give 50,000 yuan to reward the brothers who fought in this battle, but this has nothing to do with half a copper from the Military and Political Department. Do you understand?"
"Got it!" everyone said in unison.
"Okay, that's all for today's meeting. After we get back, all units will seize the time to train. The Japs are about to attack Bengbu, and we don't have much time left!"
