I really came here to fight against Japan

The Kuomintang soldiers who were chasing in Daerzhuang felt more and more uneasy the more they chased.

At the beginning, you could see dozens or even hundreds of Japanese devils organizing resistance on the spot.

How come they lost sight of the Japanese as they were chasing them?

Is there some conspiracy here? Are the Japanese hiding somewhere again, preparing to ambush our national army?

Just in this uneasy mood, things took a turn for the better again.

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard coming from the small river ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the area two or three kilometers ahead of them was covered by artillery fire coming from nowhere.

At this moment, everyone stopped and asked Song Wenwan who was advancing in the middle.

Ask him if he knows what happened ahead and who is exchanging fire with the Japanese army.

Song Wenwan immediately sent people to inform the army and division commanders that the Japanese had no way to retreat.

They have been stopped by our Xigan Fourth Guerrilla Detachment.

Now, how many Japanese devils you can get and how much reward you can get depends on your own ability.

What are you waiting for? Let’s keep moving forward!

Especially the brothers of the Sichuan Army Division, who have been really poor these years. It is just right to take these little devils and exchange them for more rewards.

Soon the National Army encountered the Japanese. At first they thought they were going to charge, but a closer look showed that it didn't seem like that.

When they saw Song Wenwan's troops, they were obviously stunned for a moment, then turned around and rushed towards other troops.

The Gui Army, Sichuan Army and Northwestern Army all quit.

What are you doing? Are you trying to be nice to people?

It is obvious that they cannot defeat the Gansu Army and want to break through us! Who are they looking down on?

Sure enough, when they saw other troops, they were not afraid and smiled.

As a result, the National Army and the Japanese Army rushed in both directions.

The Nationalist soldiers extended their sharp bayonets, while the Japanese soldiers offered their knees.

It turned out that these Japanese soldiers were already scared by Huo Jiaqiang's cavalry.

Subconsciously, they wanted to find Chinese troops other than the Gansu Army to surrender to.

Unexpectedly, the troops of those local warlords wanted to exchange some pocket money with Song Wenwan.

He actually treated these little Japanese devils to a bayonet feast.

When Huo Jiaqiang's cavalry came over, the various troops discovered that they had joined forces with the blocking troops.

Many national army officers and soldiers couldn't believe that they, such a ragtag army, actually won this local battle against the Japanese invaders.

Many national army soldiers sat down where they were, holding their heads and crying.

This was a great victory after the loss of Nanjing, and it was won by their poorly equipped ragtag army.

This is incredible and unimaginable.

Before joining the war, many soldiers were prepared to die.

They all thought that it would be the end of them if they just put their hundred pounds here.

As long as they can live up to their ancestors and their fellow countrymen, that's enough. Unexpectedly, they won the battle.

Song Wenwan did not let everyone rest immediately, but decided to bury the bodies of the Japanese soldiers first.

It's spring now, and Song Wenwan doesn't want the plague to run rampant in this area. After all, this is Chinese territory.

Dig pits, bury deep, and spread lime. After all, many trenches have been dug here, and it is easy to deal with tens of thousands of Japanese corpses.

It’s just that Qin Haichuan’s side is not easy to deal with. There are more than 2,000 Japanese corpses in the river, and they can only fish them out themselves.

Seeing this, Huo Jiaqiang sighed and said that the fish here would be inedible within two or three years.

As a result, Qin Haichuan gave him a look and Huo Jiaqiang was thrown back into the river again.

Song Wenwan pretended not to see his miserable plight. He was holding the two Japanese general's swords and grinning foolishly.

The Japanese generals' swords were found, as were the seals of the Japanese chief of staff and commander-in-chief.

Ichiro Ono's body has been pieced together and treated with quicklime.

These, together with the Japanese's eight regimental flags, will be sent to Wuhan for exhibition.

With these things as evidence, the Japanese would be embarrassed to say that only a few thousand people died.

The most unlucky one was the Japanese tank regiment.

They still had half a regiment of tanks and armored vehicles, not all of which were lost on the periphery, and their regiment commander was still alive.

It’s just because their Commander Hase is arrogant.

The tank regiment's flag was seized by the Chinese side and their tank regiment's number was revoked.

The captain of the regiment could only admit his bad luck and commit suicide by seppuku.

The soldiers, led by their officers, were still busy cleaning up the battlefield.

All the army and division commanders of the National Army gathered at the war zone headquarters in Daerzhuang.

They began to summarize their respective battle records and then write battle reports.

This good news must be sent to Wuhan as soon as possible to boost the morale of the military and the people across the country.

The work was done until four in the morning of the next day, when this long report was finally finalized and sent to the Wuhan camp.

Generals of the national army, you have not slept for two days and two nights. Now you can finally go back and rest.

They will soon begin to move and make adequate preparations for the next stage of the Battle of Xuzhou.

There was no choice but to leave, as nearly 30,000 Japanese soldiers died at one time.

Let’s also take into account the battles fought between China and Japan around Daerzhuang.

The Japanese casualties in this small town of Daerzhuang were close to 40,000.

They will definitely send out bombers to carry out retaliatory bombing on the Chinese army.

Just after five in the morning, Wuhan finally received the news.

The nearly thousand-word telegram signed by the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, announcing the "Daerzhuang Victory."

The people on duty at the Wuhan Telecommunications Department were going crazy. Can't you, the Fifth War Zone, send a telegram during the day?

You sent a telegram so early in the morning, but all the officers are still asleep. Should we wake them up or not?

The telegram was translated urgently here. As soon as the first line of words was translated, the officer on duty at night went out to ask for the person.

After a while, the head of the telecommunications department came running over in his pajamas.

At this time, they no longer cared about the difference between men and women. They just changed into their military uniforms while reading the translated telegram.

"The troops of our Fifth War Zone wiped out all the Japanese invaders who invaded Daerzhuang yesterday.

A total of more than 28,000 Japanese troops were killed here, and not a single one escaped.

Together with the previous battles around Daerzhuang, this battle wiped out 40,000 Japanese invaders, which was a great victory..."

When the chief of telecommunications saw this, he immediately ran back to the office to make a phone call.

"The attendant's room? I'm from the Telecommunications Department. I just received a telegram from the Fifth War Zone.

Great victory... Yes, yes, it is a great victory, 40,000 enemies were annihilated... The telegram is still being translated... OK, OK, it will be sent to the combat conference hall immediately after the translation is completed."

Soon after, the Military Affairs Department also started to get busy and made phone calls to various departments in Wuhan.

Ten minutes later, various military and political leaders began to go out and prepare to gather in the conference room of the operations hall.

At that time, many senior officials gathered in front of the Ministry of National Defense, and reporters from various newspapers also took action upon hearing the news.

There were even some people who were "curious" about current affairs and followed the reporters to inquire.

But the answer they got, without exception, was "No comment."

It was indeed "helpless". They had not even had breakfast and were basically woken up urgently by the adjutant.

As for the reason for the meeting, the Military Affairs Department had not informed them, but they knew that it was extremely urgent military information.

This cannot be blamed on the Military General Staff for not telling the truth. The main reason is that the Military General Staff has not seen the full draft of the telegram, so it is not easy to jump to conclusions.
