In the Battle of Cangyun Ridge, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army annihilated the elite Sakata United Army, killing the leader of the Sakata United Army, Nobutetsu Sakata, and more than 3,000 of his subordinates. It was the first time in the history of the Anti-Japanese War that a formation annihilated the Japanese Army. It was known as the Great Victory of Cangyun Ridge!
Such a great victory would naturally reach Old Jiang's ears.
Mountain City, the government building of the auxiliary capital!
The chairman's office!
A report regarding the battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge was placed in front of Old Jiang!
Old Jiang picked up the document and looked at it. He instantly became very excited and said,""Good! Good! Good! As expected of a student from Huangpu Military Academy!”
Gu Zhutong, Mao Renfeng, Dai Li, He Yingqin, Hu Zongnan, and the others who were discussing the matter with Old Jiang became curious when they saw how happy Old Jiang was.
Hu Zongnan looked at Old Jiang with a smile and said,""Chairman, why are you so happy?”
"Shoushan, a great victory!" Old Jiang looked around and said,""We just received a battle report. The 358th Regiment of Chu Yunfei of the Jin Suijun annihilated the elite Sakata United Army of the Japanese army in the Gray Cloud Ridge!”
As soon as he said that, everyone present broke into an uproar!
He looked extremely shocked and surprised!
This sounded like an incredible thing!
The Sakata United was part of the 4th Division, and was considered one of the most famous Japanese combat troops in the entire War of Resistance against Japan!
The Central Army and the Sakata United Army had also fought before, and two divisions had been defeated!
They knew the strength of Sakata United!
After the shock, his face was filled with suspicion!
After all, this was something that was hard to believe!
He Yingqin was the first to speak up." Destroying the Sakata United Team is a rare victory. We should inform the entire country and reward them. We should encourage the entire nation to fight against the Japanese!"”
Looking at the entire War of Resistance against Japan, it could be roughly divided into three stages: the strategic defense stage, the strategic stalemate stage, and the strategic counterattack stage!
It was now 1940, and the two sides were at a stalemate!
Therefore, the entire country was filled with a pessimistic atmosphere!
If such a great victory was announced at this time, it would definitely inspire the people and be very beneficial to the war!
Old Jiang nodded slightly.
At this moment, Gu Zhutong looked at He Yingqin and Old Jiang. He hesitated for a moment, then said,""Chairman, if we can really achieve such a great victory in this battle, we should really reward them!”
"However, the Sakata Regiment is not weak. To annihilate such an elite regiment is not something a small Regiment 358 can do!”
Hu Zongnan caught on to Gu Zhutong's words and said,""Yes, chairman, I think we should verify this matter before deciding!”
To be honest, during the Anti-Japanese War, although the entire nation united to resist the Japanese, the warlord factions still existed!
Furthermore, the Central Army had always looked down on the local warlords!
Who was Hu Zongnan?
Hu Zongnan was a first-year graduate of Huangpu Military Academy. He was known as the " number one disciple of the emperor " and was Old Jiang's favorite and most important military general. He was also a high-ranking general in the central army's direct line of command. Naturally, he had a certain arrogance!
The friction between the Central Army and the Jinsui Army had also formed a lot!
Back then, Yan Xishan had been the main force in the rebellion against Jiang, so the Jinsui Army and the Central Army had fought before, and there was a grudge between them.!
Moreover, the Sakata United was such an elite Japanese army, how could it be annihilated by a small regiment?
The 358th Regiment was just a strengthened regiment of the local warlord Jinsui Army!
Even if they were to deploy an entire army, it would still be difficult to destroy an entire regiment, right?
It was hard to believe!
Gu Zhutong and Hu Zongnan's words implied that they were lying about their military achievements!
They should not be rewarded, but severely punished!
During the Anti-Japanese War, lying about military merits and achievements was a common occurrence.
Some troops claimed that they had dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army after eliminating a dozen or so Japanese, and claimed that they had won a great victory after eliminating a hundred or so Japanese!
Such situations were everywhere!
Old Jiang naturally understood the meaning behind their words. He turned to Dai Li and said,"Yu Nong, go and verify this matter. Give me an accurate result as soon as possible!”
"Yes, sir!" Dai Li responded and went down!
An hour later, Dai Li returned to the chairman's office.
The efficiency of the commander was still very high!
"How is it?" Old Jiang looked at Dai Li and asked.”
Dai Li replied," After our intelligence system's multiple verifications, the victory of the Gray Cloud Ridge is true. The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army annihilated the Japanese army's Sakata Regiment!”
Instantly, Gu Zhutong, hairy man Feng, Hu Zongnan, and the others were shocked beyond words. Their eyes were still filled with disbelief, and they all sucked in a cold breath.
Although they were shocked and incredulous!
However, it was impossible for a battle that had been verified by the military commander to be misreported!
"Good, good, good!" On the contrary, Old Jiang was delighted.""Such a major victory at this stage should be properly rewarded! Hahaha!"
"Chu Yunfei, Huangpu's fifth batch student, I know him! He was a sharpshooter and a fast shooter. He was ranked first in the shooting results of the fifth episode!”
"Hahaha, as expected of a student from Huangpu. Haha!”
Dai Li looked at how happy Old Jiang was and immediately said,"Chairman, there is another piece of information regarding this battle!”
"Oh? Speak!" Old Jiang was interested!
