After the Central China Army was tricked by its pig teammates, the Chinese Army was overjoyed!
Soon, all war zones and political parties across the country expressed congratulations to the Juqi Division in various ways. Various congratulatory messages continued. Even Yan'an sent a special telegram to the Juqi Division to congratulate the Juqi Division on its unprecedented victory. !
While congratulating the 7th Division on its unprecedented victory, citizens in Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Kunming and other places poured into the streets to hold anti-Japanese demonstrations.
People held high slogans such as "The War of Resistance Will Be Victorious", "Fight to the End in Blood", "Long Live the Temporary Seventh Division", and vented their inner cries!
Of course, with a series of publicity reports, Li Guoyao and the Seventh Division were once again pushed to the forefront.
There may be people in China who don¡¯t know the main generals of the Japanese invaders, and there may be people who don¡¯t know the commanders-in-chief of China¡¯s major war zones. But from the people at the bottom to the front-line soldiers to the top leaders, it seems that no one doesn¡¯t know about Li Guoyao and his subordinates. The temporary seventh division.
This may not be a good thing for Li Guoyao himself and the Seventh Division. There is a deep crisis hidden in the praise.
The attention of superiors, the admiration of the people and the recognition of opponents seem to have suddenly pushed the reputation of the Seventh Division to a household name.
Of course, this has certain benefits for Li Guoyao, but it also causes them huge trouble and pressure!
In the past, Li Guoyao and others could carry out many things quietly, but now I don¡¯t know how many people are watching them. In addition, the little devil has also regarded the Seventh Division at an unimaginable height.
According to the latest intelligence sent back from the Bureau of Military Control, the Japanese base camp has raised the threat posed by Li Guoyao and the 7th Division from the tactical level to the strategic level. Li Guoyao's own threat level has exceeded that of Wang Jingjiu, Sun Lianzhong, Tang Enbo and others, and even vaguely exceeded The trend of Gu Zhutong, Yan Xishan and others.
The Japanese base camp also included Li Guoyao on the list of people who must be killed at all costs. No matter who he is or what the reason is, as long as he can kill Li Guoyao, the Japanese base camp will prepare a bounty of 500,000 oceans for him.
In other words, the Japanese army is preparing to spend a huge bounty of 500,000 oceans to kill Li Guoyao. It can be said that they have really spent a lot of money. You must know that Gu Zhutong, Yan Laoxi and others only have a bounty of 300,000 oceans. Currently, only Jiang The chairman of the committee can exceed half a million.
The disturbances from the outside world were nothing to Li Guoyao. He didn't care about it at all. On the third day after the battle, after the results and losses were completely tallied, Li Guoyao held a battle summary and commendation meeting in Bengbu City.
At 7 o'clock in the evening on April 21, officers from the 7th Division and above the brigade level gathered at the Bengbu City Defense Headquarters. This was also the first military meeting held by Li Guoyao after the end of the war.
When Li Guoyao walked into the conference room, the small conference room was already full of people!
Although the troops won the battle, the casualties were too heavy, and some regiments even lost more than three-quarters of their troops. Therefore, the emotions of the officers present were not very high, and they were far less active than before.
Sadness is unavoidable, but Li Guoyao can still see the blazing fire in the eyes of these officers under his command. This is the endless fighting spirit of the strong. Obviously, through this battle, these officers of the 7th Division will be completely defeated. The fighting spirit was inspired.
What can be expected is that no matter the time changes or personnel replacements in the future, the military soul of this army has been completely forged. Under this military soul condensed with blood and honor, no one can defeat them.
When Li Guoyao walked into the conference room, all the officers stood up quickly. Everyone straightened their backs and greeted Li Guoyao in a standard posture.
This is the respect these senior officers of the Seventh Division have for Li Guoyao, and also for the strong!
Li Guoyao didn¡¯t say much. As the founder of this army, he needed to maintain his authority in this way.
"Sit down, is everyone here? Is there anyone asking for leave?" Li Guoyao asked calmly.
"Report! Everyone is here, no one asked for leave!" Chief of Staff Ma Desheng stood up and replied.
¡°Now that everyone is here, let¡¯s get started!¡±
Then Li Guoyao continued: "Before the meeting started, I read out a commendation order from my superiors. This was sent from Wuhan. The Military Commission and Chairman Chiang expressed their appreciation for our ability to severely damage the Japanese army in this battle. With the approval of the Military Commission, , our temporary seventh division will be upgraded to a Category B Army with immediate effect, designated as the 61st Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with one Category A division and one Category A brigade under its jurisdiction. In addition, the Military Commission has also mobilized three regiments of new troops for our department.??, and allocate a reward of 100,000 oceans! "
"As for personnel appointments, with the approval of the Military Commission, I will serve as lieutenant general, Wang Zhanhai and Xu Hu will serve as deputy military commanders respectively, and Ma Desheng will serve as chief of staff of the army. All other generals and soldiers will be promoted to one rank."
As soon as the words fell, the entire conference room burst into warm applause, which lasted for a long time, and everyone had a happy smile on their face!
Although these people did not join the army to fight against the Japanese for promotion and wealth, they still hoped to be rewarded by their superiors after winning the battle.
This is like a child doing something great. No matter how painful the process is and how heavy the price is, as long as the parents say a good word, they will be satisfied.
What¡¯s more, in the eyes of these officers, the Military Commission¡¯s sincerity is still full this time. It has upgraded the unit designation, promoted the rank of the grassroots officers and soldiers, as well as supplemented the troops and rewarded them. It is full of sincerity!
Seeing that everyone was so happy, Li Guoyao didn't say anything, but quietly waited for their emotions to subside.
After everyone calmed down, Li Guoyao said again: "We will talk about the awards from our superiors later. Now I would like to ask the Chief of Staff to report to us the losses of our army in this battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Desheng stood up and opened the folder on the conference table in front of everyone's attention!
After a while, Ma Desheng read aloud: "In this battle, our army lost 19,572 killed, 21,225 injured, and 182 missing, totaling 40,979. This does not include the more than 3,000 lightly wounded. If we include those In terms of some soldiers, our army¡¯s casualties are around 44,000, accounting for more than nine levels of the entire army.¡±
As soon as he finished speaking, there were gasps from everywhere in the conference room. Such heavy casualties were definitely something that no one had thought of beforehand.
Ma Desheng ignored everyone's thoughts and continued: "In addition to casualties, our unit also suffered heavy losses in weapons, equipment and ammunition. In this battle, more than 14,000 rifles and more than 300 light and heavy machine guns were destroyed, including Only 9 of the 46 anti-aircraft machine guns survived. In addition, the artillery also suffered heavy losses. All artillery with a caliber above 75mm was lost. Only 8 of the 18 Type 92 infantry guns remained, and only 124 small-caliber mortars were left. There are 28 gates left, 1,398 war horses have been lost, and more than 800 tons of various ammunition have been consumed."
"In addition, the towns under the control of our army have also suffered huge losses. Dingyuan, Fengyang, Guangming and Bengbu City are already in ruins, while Chihe Town, Daishan Town and other places have not even preserved their ruins and were destroyed by the Japanese army. The powerful artillery fire flattened it to the ground."
