Chapter 183 This time it’s time to go!
At this time,
If we don't show some sincerity towards the Eighth Route Army's victory, not only will the Eighth Route Army be unable to tolerate it, but even the common people will be unable to tolerate it.
The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded.
"You are right. The newspaper has had this intention for a long time. I heard that they even want to interview Qin Hai specifically."
As soon as he finished speaking, the deputy commander raised his lips slightly.
"Interview?"
It’s not that we can’t do an interview, but the most important thing now is to quickly publicize the results of this victory.
How to promote it?
What to promote?
There has to be a statement that the interview can be done at any time, and it won’t be too late to do it after the news of victory spreads.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" The deputy chief of general staff quickly understood what the deputy commander-in-chief meant.
then,
The Deputy Chief of General Staff quickly conveyed his superior's intention to the newspaper through a notification.
Now that headquarters has spoken,
The newspaper dared not neglect it and immediately started working non-stop to edit the manuscript and inform the whole country.
As for the subsequent promotional activities,
That will take time to prepare.
of course,
The interview they had always wanted to do had to be put on hold temporarily because they were too busy recently.
……
The victory report came from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
In the Second War Zone Headquarters, Old Man Yan didn't look very happy.
Especially when I saw the content of the telegram, I felt so depressed.
"Guards!"
"It's this guard regiment again!"
Every time he heard this name, Old Man Yan felt like a stone was blocking his heart. The Eighth Route Army was invincible.
On their side,
But they suffered repeated defeats.
Let alone fighting the Japanese, it was difficult to hold the defense line. Why didn't he have a team as capable as the Guards?
"The Eighth Route Army has won victory after victory. This time, they even wiped out the enemy's battlefield observation group. Why is our team losing again and again on the battlefield?"
Old Man Yan raised his head and scanned the faces of each of his confidants, his eyes filled with complexity and disappointment.
Hearing Old Man Yan speak,
The officers below all lowered their heads at the same time, not daring to breathe.
no way,
I really can't hold my head up.
It is difficult to hold the defense line on the front battlefield now, let alone win battles one after another like the Guards Regiment.
They want to, too.
But my strength does not allow it, and I dare not take on this porcelain job.
The overall strength of the Japanese was stronger than theirs. They did not have the equipment like the Guards Regiment, nor did they have the individual combat capabilities and teamwork of the Guards Regiment. How could it be so easy to fight the Japanese?
Looking at this scene,
Old Man Yan snorted coldly, "Humph! You are a bunch of rubbish. You have disgraced the Second War Zone!"
Hearing this,
Everyone kept their heads down and didn't dare to speak. If they were to compare with the government of the temporary capital, they would still be evenly matched.
But if compared with the current high morale of the Eighth Route Army, there is a world of difference.
"Okay, tell the people in the exchange group to go to the Eighth Route Army and learn from them. Study carefully how they fight. Don't look down on them just because they are just guerrillas."
"Look at them, they have won so many victories." When he said this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Old Man Yan's eyes.
These confidants,
Apart from being loyal to him, he has no ability to lead troops in battle, and apart from being good at talking, he has no actual achievements.
go on like this,
The Second War Zone will lose face sooner or later. Without the support of the people, the Second War Zone will fall apart sooner or later.
"Yes!"
After hearing what Old Man Yan said, all his confidants responded in unison.
"Alright, alright, let's quickly discuss how to express our feelings this time!"
"The Eighth Route Army won another victory this time, annihilating more than 4,000 puppet troops and devils, and also completely annihilating a battlefield observation group, including a devil major general and more than 200 devil officers."
Speaking of this, Old Man Yan's eyes were very complicated, and it was impossible for him not to be envious.
Why can't I have a general like Qin Hai under my command?
"If we can't win a battle ourselves, we can only watch others fight. We've lost face, but we still have to show some respect. Otherwise, how will the people see us?"
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officers present looked at each other in bewilderment.
They also understood this logic, but they really couldn't make up their minds about the reward right now.
The Eighth Route Army won a victory.
It's only right to express it.
But how to reward?
How much is the prize?
This requires careful consideration. After all, life in the Second War Zone is not easy now. Belts are tightened and they cannot afford to give out too much.
One of the lieutenant generals of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army thought about it and made a pertinent suggestion:
"Commander, why don't we send a mortar company to the Eighth Route Army? We have an 82mm mortar company that was withdrawn from the front line, plus Type rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and two base quantities of bullets."
"The Guards Regiment eliminated quite a few devils this time. The Japanese and puppet troops totaled nearly 4,000. If we count the puppet troops as half of the devils, then this time we have eliminated a reinforced battalion of 2,000 devils."
"Add to that a battlefield observation group, more than 200 senior Japanese officers, and a major general. This is indeed a great achievement." When he said this, the lieutenant general's face also showed some complexity.
Hearing the victory reports of the Eighth Route Army again and again,
However, they suffered repeated defeats on the front line of the Second War Zone, and could only defend themselves against the Japanese invaders, which made them feel extremely frustrated.
The words fell,
Old Man Yan was not in a hurry to refuse, nor did he agree, he just frowned.
This number is indeed considerable.
But he always felt like something was missing.
At this moment,
Another officer from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, with a complex look in his eyes, mustered up the courage to put forward his own ideas:
"Commander, I think just a reward is not enough. How about we give the Guards a medal of honor?"
He mentioned this,
This immediately made all the Jinsui Army officers' eyes light up.
Old Man Yan felt the same way. After hearing about those rewards, he always felt like something was missing.
But with the officer's advice, they soon realized what was missing. Inspired, Old Man Yan made a decision immediately.
"Since we are going to give them this time, let's be generous and directly equip them with a three-gun battery of 75mm Type 92 guns!"
When these words come out,
The officers present couldn't help but gasp. A mountain artillery company was simply a huge drain on the Second War Zone.
But Old Man Yan hadn't finished speaking yet, and continued:
"As for rifles, we will round up to 1,000, plus 100 light and heavy machine guns, and three base numbers of bullets, which will be 1.5 million rounds, plus 30,000 grenades, plus 500,000 French francs!"
"Not only that, in terms of honor, the Second War Zone will award the Guard Regiment the title of 'National Defense Hero Regiment', and at the same time award the Guard Regiment Commander Qin Hai the title of Honorary County Magistrate!"
Speaking of which,
Only then did Old Man Yan stop.
Everyone present was stunned. This was not just bloodletting; it was simply opening up a major blood vessel for the Second War Zone.
Seeing his confidants standing there in a daze,
Old Man Yan frowned and said, "Why don't you do it quickly!"
