I really came here to fight against Japan

The big boss of the Military Control Commission said: "Who knew that the New Fourth Army troops actually placed a large number of mines at the entrance of the National Army soldiers' tents.

The sudden explosion, coupled with the continued attacks from the New Fourth Army's machine guns and artillery, destroyed the New Seventh Division."

Little Phoenix: "Blow up the camp? What era is this? Can such a thing as blowing up the camp still happen?"

Military Control Commission boss: "It's more than that, they didn't just blow up their own camp.

They also took the 144th Division with them and attacked the positions of the 145th Division.

As a result, for more than half an hour, the western side of the Anhui mountainous area remained unguarded.

As a result, the New Fourth Army's troops could break out from there easily."

Xiao Fengchu: "This New Fourth Army is breaking out, not fighting on the defensive.

Why do they carry so many mines with them?"

Military Intelligence Bureau boss: "Those mines were found in the minefields set up by the Nationalist Army.

Because the Kuomintang soldiers had not had time to string the mines.

So they were all poached by the New Fourth Army, and then used by the New Seventh Division. "

The words of the Military Control Commission boss made Xiao Fengchu's head ache.

The Minister of Military Affairs quickly changed the subject and asked, "Isn't there the 108th Division behind the newly formed 7th Division?

Aren’t there the 40th and 50th Divisions on the east side of the mountain pass?

What were they doing? Why didn’t they stop the New Fourth Army’s breakout?

Military Control Commission boss: "Minister, the 108th Division on the front has been chased and attacked by the New Fourth Army.

It was not until they moved five kilometers to the west and re-established their blocking position that the New Fourth Army stopped chasing them.

However, the combat process of the 40th Division is unclear. We only know that they were also bombarded by the New Fourth Army at the beginning.

However, the commander of their 40th Division has decent military skills.

When the 40th Division was digging trenches, their soldiers did not slack off.

The blasting holes were all dug according to regulations, and when the New Fourth Army fired artillery fire, they were able to dodge in time, so there were not many casualties.

And because of their timely attack, the New Fourth Army that was left behind suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, the 40th Division achieved the best results this time. Although more than 300 people were killed, they captured a lot of spoils.

A total of 20 Japanese standard Type 82 mortars and more than 100 boxes of shells were seized.

There were about twenty Type 99 light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns, and four boxes of bullets.

There are also some Hanyang-made ones with old sleeves, totaling more than 400.

The number of matching bullets is not too many, only about 10,000 rounds.

It seems that they left in a panic. These should be the ones they armed, and the non-combatants left behind.”

When the big men in the attendant room heard this, everyone's faces looked much better.

Everyone knows that the New Fourth Army was poor, and these abandoned light and heavy machine guns and mortars should be all their heavy weapons.

The Minister of Military Affairs said: "The commander of the 40th Division is good. He used tactics properly and achieved many results. He should be rewarded after the war."

This was the only highlight of today's battle, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Only Xiao Fengchu secretly curled his lips, this was not a lot of spoils at all.

To put it nicely, that was a bribe paid by the New Fourth Army Headquarters to the 40th Division.

After you have gained the benefits from them, don't keep chasing after them endlessly.

To put it in a bad way, it was the New Fourth Army who was dissatisfied with the Type 99 rifle.

Also, the Japanese Type 82 mortar and Type 92 heavy machine gun were too heavy.

It would be inconvenient for them to transfer long distances after breaking out, so they were handed over to the 40th Army as a favor.

It's not easy for this little phoenix to wake people up from time to time.

At this time, another telegram was sent in by the communications officer from the attendant's room.

Xiao Fengchu took the telegram and took a look at it, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Everyone looked over after hearing the laughter, trying to guess the contents of the telegram in his hand.

Xiao Fengchu was already angry, and when he saw everyone was looking at him, he told everyone the contents of the telegram.

"Our Commander Song was very proactive. In order to prevent any unusual movements in the Iron Army headquarters, he suddenly broke out from the east of Yunling.

His men were fully equipped just after two in the morning.

As a result, the Iron Army began to break out of the mountainous area at three o'clock.

He saw fire coming up on the other side of the mountain pass and knew that the situation had changed.

He immediately led the troops of the Third Militia Division and rushed over to pursue the Iron Army.

I thought there were six divisions of Kuomintang troops ahead, blocking the exit there.

He ordered the Third Militia Division to make a forced march, which took them two hours to cover 60 kilometers of mountain roads.

Finally at six o'clock in the morning, just now, we finally arrived at the mountain pass.

The result? Hehe, let me read his original words to you.

I led my men on a forced march to the mountain pass, thinking that we were ready for a decisive battle.

He wanted to cooperate with friendly forces to achieve his goal in one battle and destroy the Iron Army headquarters in the valley, but he did not expect that the valley was unusually quiet.

We went forward to check, and found the scene to be unusually peaceful.

The newly formed 7th Division was busy collecting the bodies, and the 144th and 145th Divisions were busy making breakfast.

The 108th Division was busy digging trenches, and the 52nd Division was busy fighting with the 40th Division for spoils.

It was heard that the Iron Army headquarters had escaped from the encirclement two hours ago.

However, our national army had a total of 70,000 soldiers, but they could not hold out for half an hour beforehand, and not a single soldier dared to pursue afterward.

I would like to ask all the dignitaries in the secondary capital, have I ever suffered a defeat since the day I started to fight as a young boy?

Don't call me if this happens again. I can't afford to lose face by having to work with a bunch of losers."

Xiao Fengchu read Song Wenwan's telegram and burst into laughter.

"Look how angry Chief Song is. He was still talking nonsense at the beginning, but he just spoke plain words at the end."

Song Wenwan's words had such a wide impact that they even insulted the Minister of Defense, who was the commander-in-chief.

In fact, Xiao Fengchu had already had some opinions about him, but he just didn't dare to say it out loud.

Today, I just happened to borrow Song Wenwan's words and say them out loud to disgust him.

The Minister of Military and Political Affairs knew that Song Wenwan dared to say this just to vent her anger at Cheng Songyuan.

I remember that Cheng Songyuan, who was the Minister of Military Affairs, had a conflict with the man in the Secret Service.

Although the defense minister did not go so far as to add insult to injury, he did not say a single good word to help.

However, Cheng Songyuan, the Minister of Military Affairs at that time, always responded to their requests.

Minister of Military Affairs: "Well, let him lose his temper for once.

Besides, Commander Song was right, those six divisions are indeed useless. "

The Minister of Military Affairs was also angry, wondering how the Minister of Defense was commanding the troops at the front.

Whenever he ordered his men to cock the mines or get the soldiers into the trenches.

Nor would we allow the New Fourth Army’s headquarters to slip away so quietly.

If their guns hadn't gone off accidentally, they might not have discovered that they had gone far away when they changed shifts at five in the morning.

As the old saying goes, a kind man cannot command an army, and the ministers of ancient times never deceived me!

If the enemy troops on the opposite side are Japanese soldiers, how would you respond?

Would you let your men leave the trenches and rest in the tents behind because of the cold weather?

Alas, this is because I have been "planning and strategizing" in the rear for so long that I have lost even the basic military sense.

However, in order to maintain the defense minister's face, he had to change the subject.
