The smoke from the Shandong battlefield has cleared for the time being, but the aftermath of this battle has just begun!
The Nationalist Government's attitude towards this battle was not unified. Although the Sulu Theater repelled the Japanese army's crazy attack and wiped out more than 20,000 enemies, the performance was remarkable and could even be called a battle of great influence. great victory.
"However, the combat effectiveness displayed by Li Guoyao's troops in this battle made the Military Commission quite uneasy!
Since the number of soldiers and technical arms dispatched by the Japanese army in this battle were unprecedented on the Shandong battlefield, Li Guoyao's troops were almost fully equipped with firepower, and all their strength was exposed at once.
Naturally, these things cannot be hidden from Chongqing. When they learned that Li Guoyao's troops actually had fifty or sixty thousand people in Shandong, some people couldn't sit still.
Although Li Guoyao deliberately expanded the casualties from 7,000 to 23,000 when reporting casualties this time, it still failed to offset Chongqing's doubts.
Because the opinions were not unified, the Military Commission hesitated in making the award decision!
According to the opinions of Minister He and others, Li Guoyao's department privately expanded its troops, and the number was astonishing. Although it had great achievements, the merits and demerits were outweighed by rewards and punishments.
In addition, except for the temporary establishment of the Ninth Army, the remaining troops under Li Guoyao must be handed over to the Sulu Theater Headquarters for command, otherwise they will be immediately declared rebels.
But at this time, they met with the opposition of Chief Chen, Chief Xue and Chief Li. Their opinion was that Li Guoyao's unit was a guerrilla force before this, and the establishment and number of the guerrilla force were random, and no one specified the guerrilla force. The number of soldiers must be limited to a certain limit.
"This time, Li Guoyao's troops took the initiative to enter the battle without the order of the Military Commission and caused heavy casualties to the troops. This is a demonstration of loyalty and patriotism. If the Military Commission does not reward them, it will definitely chill the hearts of the frontline soldiers.
¡°In addition, the Sulu War Zone itself is dominated by miscellaneous troops. Once such a negative impact occurs, it will definitely be detrimental to future operations.
Even Chief Li and Xue Yue believed that Li Guoyao's troops had saved southwest Shandong and captured the city of Zaozhuang, so they deserved a heavy reward.
"Coupled with the fact that they now have so many troops, the Military Commission should organize these troops into a group army and then command them by Li Guoyao.
Due to the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides, one side wanted heavy rewards and the other side wanted severe punishment, so that Chiang Kai-shek could not make up his mind for a while.
On the contrary, the response from the Sulu Theater was very fast. After the Japanese troops withdrew, the Sulu Theater Headquarters sent people to deliver 3 million rounds of ammunition and 5,000 rounds of artillery shells to Xiong'er Mountain. In addition, Commander-in-Chief Yu also promised Li Guoyao that he would wait until the situation was over. Jinger will prepare another batch of firearms for them. There will be no less than 5,000 rifles and no less than 200 machine guns. This will be their reward for sending troops this time.
Unlike those high-ranking bosses in Chongqing, Commander-in-Chief Yu knows the market and cannot let others work for him without some blood.
"Besides, Li Guoyao's troops did spend a lot of money this time, and they did help the Sulu War Zone a lot. If they hadn't taken the initiative to attack, Shandong Southwest would have been lost, and the 57th Army would have been annihilated, which would have been troublesome.
You must know that there are currently only six armies left in the Northeastern Army. Once the 57th Army is annihilated, the Military Commission will most likely remove the designation of this army.
In fact, after Commander Chang, Brigadier Wan and others forced out the former commander of the 57th Army, Chongqing specifically called the Sulu Theater Headquarters and asked them to severely punish the following offenders, and revealed in their words that they would abolish the 57th Army. number.
Now, thanks to the action of Li Guoyao, not only the southwestern Shandong Province, but also the 57th Army has been saved. This is a great merit for the Commander-in-Chief and the entire Northeast Army.
Therefore, no matter what the higher-ups decide, the Sulu Theater Headquarters will accept Li Guoyao¡¯s favor!
What's more, Li Guoyao's troops took the initiative to evacuate Shanxian, Peixian, Fengxian and other places shortly after the Japanese army retreated, and then handed over Weishan, Xuecheng, Zaozhuang and other places to the Sulu Theater Headquarters, which made the Su The territory of the Lu War Zone suddenly expanded by one-third.
And these are all favors, how can they repay kindness with enmity!
What makes Commander-in-Chief Yu feel most guilty is that the casualties of Li Guoyao's troops in this battle were too great. Let's ignore the figures reported to the Military Commission, because Commander-in-Chief Yu also knows that the number of casualties is too high and has no reference.
But after the war, there were less than 2,000 soldiers who were transported back to Zaozhuang for burial. These were the soldiers killed in the Ninth Army during this battle, not counting the wounded.
¡° If the casualties in Shanxian and other places are included, Yu Xuezhong estimates that the casualties of Li Guoyao¡¯s troops will be at least around 10,000 people!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?In order to help them suffer such heavy losses, he couldn't be a wooden person!
Therefore, while sending weapons and ammunition to Li Guoyao's headquarters, Commander-in-Chief Yu sent three consecutive telegrams to explain the situation to the Military Commission and asked for credit for Li Guoyao's headquarters.
Perhaps it was because the performance of Li Guoyao's troops was truly amazing this time, or perhaps because the combat effectiveness and loyalty of Li Guoyao's troops were recognized by Chiang Kai-shek. In short, on the third day after the end of the war, Chongqing sent a commendation telegram: "The heroic performance of the 51st Army, 57th Army, 89th Army under the jurisdiction of the Sulu Theater, as well as the 9th Temporary Army under Li Guoyao, and the 1st and 2nd Columns of the Shandong Guerrilla Corps will be commended through the whole army, and the Military Commission will be instructed to commend meritorious units and individuals. Awards and commendations were given, including the Medal of the Blue Sky to the commander-in-chief of the Sulu Theater Zone, Yu Xuezhong"
"For the temporary Ninth Army, 3,000 new recruits will be supplemented. In addition, 5,000 formal rifles, 20 light machine guns, 8 heavy machine guns, 4 mortars, and 1 million rounds of ammunition will be allocated from the Hebei-Cha War Zone to supplement the department." He was awarded the first-class Baoding Medal to Li Guoyao, the second-class Baoding Medal to Xu Hu and Wang Zhanhai, and the third-class Yunmo Medal to Ma Desheng, Zhang Tengjiao, Xie Baojun, Lu Wenlong, Wen Debiao, Wu Baoguo, Li Dingguo and Gao Hu"
The commendation telegram was forwarded to the Jiujiu Army Headquarters via the Sulu Theater Headquarters. At this time, Li Guoyao had returned to Xiong'er Mountain!
After reading the telegram, Li Guoyao smiled!
As far as this commendation telegram is concerned, it seems to be quite satisfactory. It not only recruits new soldiers, but also provides weapons and equipment. It even gives medals to almost all the participants in the war. There are the Baoding Medal of the Grand Master and the Cloud Medal of the Junior Professor. *Medal, on the surface it seems full of sincerity.
But compared to the rewards of other troops, this is almost meaningless!
Although Han Delqin's 89th Army only mobilized a group of minions to participate in the battle and achieved almost no results, because it was a direct descendant of the Chiang Kai-shek Army, the commendation given by the Military Commission was truly enviable.
Not only did he allocate an additional 300,000 military expenditures to the 89th Army, but he also expanded the 89th Army into a Category A Army. He also handed over all military and political power in Jiangsu to the command of Han Deqin, making him the provincial chairman worthy of his name, and even the Central Military Commission. Several security brigades in the Jiangsu region have also been expanded, apparently in preparation for the reorganization of Han Deqin's headquarters.
"Compared with this treatment, Li Guoyao's troops sent 60,000 troops and wiped out 15,000 enemies. They only received such a small reward, which was not even enough to cover their losses. What else could Li Guoyao say?"
But Li Guoyao has long been used to this. After all, in these troubled times, there is no fairness in it!
Although I am much better than Han Deqin and others, the competition in this era is not about ability, but more about connections.
Take Han Deqin as an example. This person has average abilities. Although he graduated from the most prestigious Baoding Army Officer School during the Republic of China, his performance on the battlefield was not outstanding, and his record was even mediocre.
Therefore, Han Deqin did not hold a high position like his classmates Chen Cheng, Gu Zhutong, Bai Chongxi and others, nor was he as good as the rising stars Hu Zongnan, Hu Lian and others from Huangpu Military Academy.
¡°However, Han Deliqin¡¯s development is definitely not bad within the Kuomintang. He served as Chairman of Jiangsu Province, Lieutenant General of the Kuomintang, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the 24th Army Group and Commander of the 89th Army.
Being able to have such a smooth development, in addition to his own abilities, is largely due to his fellow countryman and classmate Gu Zhutong.
At present, in order to cultivate confidants and control the troops in the national army, all warlords invariably attach great importance to relationships with fellow villagers and classmates. Han Deqin and Gu Zhutong are both graduates of the sixth batch of Baoding Army Officer School, and are fellow Jiangsu residents, so naturally they have a very close relationship.
With Gu Zhutong "covering" him, Han Delqin's development could finally be said to be smooth sailing. Even during the 1931 siege of the Central Red Army's revolutionary base area, the 52nd Division he led was completely wiped out by the Central Red Army, and he himself was captured. , still did not affect Han Deliqin's promotion path.
Comparatively speaking, a large number of miscellaneous troops, including Li Guoyao, received little attention. At this time, the current national conditions determined that many things could not be changed by the commander-in-chief, and Li Guoyao could only accept it silently.
Of course, I accept it, but I still have some dissatisfaction in my heart!
And Li Guoyao has a rather stubborn temper. If you make me dissatisfied, I will definitely not make you happy. It will be the same even if the King of Heaven comes!
