In the 18th Division, Staff Officer Wang and his team brought back the negatives of the photos taken in Luo Zhen and Yamazaki Ken's regimental commander's sword, and told the commander Luo Ying what they had seen.
"In that case, the results reported by the Security Corps are true. A fully-formed Shengyang Army regiment was actually destroyed, and the other two regiments were defeated? (Actually, the people of Shengyang City had retreated on their own accord. Luo Ying was the one who had made up the idea of defeating them.)
"Quick, report it, report the news of the great victory!”Luo Ying rubbed the blood-stained Yamazaki Key's commanding sword and ordered the signalman excitedly.
This was the largest number of Shengyang soldiers killed in a single battle since the start of the war. It was also the first time that the Shengyang soldiers had been completely wiped out since the start of the war. Before this, there had never been a single brigade of Shengyang soldiers, let alone a regiment.
At the President's Mansion in Ying Tian City, the Chen Clan's Yan door did not knock. He pushed open the door of Old Chang's office and shouted happily with a telegram in his hand,
"Great victory, President, great victory!”
Old Chang, who was deep in thought, was interrupted by the Chen Clan Yan who pushed open the door. Seeing him shouting a great victory with a happy face, he knew that there was good news. He did not blame him and only asked,
"Zu Yan, what kind of great victory made you so happy? Tell me quickly, I'm happy too!”
"President, great victory!”
The Chen Clan's Yan was so excited that her voice was trembling.
Hearing that it was another great victory in Luo Zhen, Old Chang was puzzled.
He remembered that two days ago, Chen Zuyan had just reported the Air Force's victory in Luo Town. By the way, the appointment letter for the head of the security regiment had not been issued yet, right?
The puzzled Old Chang probed,"
"The Air Force won another battle?"
"It's not the air force. This time, it's the ground forces!”
" The Rising Sun soldiers attacked our town at 2:30 AM on the 2nd of September. After a night of fierce fighting, the Qiongya Security Regiment stationed in the town wiped out the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Rising Sun soldiers who broke into the town. They wiped out 3,246 Rising Sun soldiers under the leader of the regiment, Yamazaki Ken, and repelled the 43rd and 44th Infantry Regiment of the Rising Sun soldiers. 1,067 Rising Sun soldiers died outside the town! This battle had wiped out 4,313 Shengyang soldiers. This was a great victory. This was the greatest victory they had ever achieved in a single battle since the start of the war!”
Hearing Chen Zuyan's report, Old Chang's first thought was that his subordinates were lying about the military situation.
Just like Luo Ying, the commander of the 18th division, he did not believe in the achievements of the security regiment. Therefore, he asked Tan Zuyan,"
"Has the result been confirmed?"
Hearing Old Chang's question, Chen Zuyan immediately replied,"
" When I received this telegram, I sent a message to inquire about it. The commander of the 18th Division, Luo Ying, had already sent someone to confirm the authenticity of the battle results. The photos of the battlefield and Commander Yamazaki Ken's sword are already on their way to Ying Tian City.”
"Good! Good! Good!"
The three consecutive good words were enough to explain Old Chang's current mood. The haze brought about by the defeat of the war in the past few days was also swept away at this time.
Old Chang suddenly paused as if he suddenly thought of something and asked,
"How are the losses of the security team? Is that Zhong Yu okay?”
"President, the security team has nearly 4,000 casualties, more than half of them.”
After listening to Chen Zuyan's words, Old Chang could not help but exclaim,"
"We lost nearly 4,000 men, and we killed more than 4,000 Shengyang soldiers. The exchange rate is close to 1:1, and the Shengyang soldiers suffered even greater losses. How do you think Zhong Yu should be rewarded for such a great victory in this battle? By the way, have you investigated Zhong Yu's background clearly?”
Over 4,000 Shengyang soldiers had died, but Old Chang had subconsciously heard it as 4,000 casualties. After all, this was already shocking compared to the previous exchange rate.
Little did they know that the actual casualties of the security regiment were only over 1,000. If Old Chang knew about this, who knew what he would think.
Knowing that Old Chang would ask about Zhong Yu's background, Chen Zuyan took out the information she had prepared and read,"
" Zhong Yu, male, 20 years old, overseas Chinese. Rumor has it that he's the eldest son of a large foreign family. Hua Yiguo returned in 26 years and established a security regiment in Qiongya Baisha. He exterminated the bandits in his jurisdiction. Wang Fugui, the former head of Sha County, was shot dead after he was defeated by the security regiment because he colluded with bandits. On August 20th, he led more than 6,000 people to fight the Japanese in Shanghai. On August 30th, he took over Luo Town. On the morning of September 1st, he cooperated with the air force to shoot down six Shengyang people's planes.”
Old Chang's intelligence network was not just for show. From the time Zhong Yu transmigrated, everything he did was collected by him. However, the identity that Zhong Yu fabricated was also included.
There was no definite information about Zhong Yu's origin. Everything was based on the rumors of the people. However, this did not affect Old Chang's commendation. After all, his military achievements were real.
After pondering for a moment, Old Chang spoke again,"
"How about this, the letter of appointment for the lieutenant colonel rank that we gave him last time hasn't been issued yet, so we'll give him the rank of colonel directly. His regiment originally had 6,000 people, right? Even if more than half of them have died, there are still 2,000 people left. The security regiment will be upgraded to Qiongya Independent Brigade, and the 3rd regiment and 9th battalion will be strengthened.”
"I'll also let those local warlords who only want to preserve their strength see that as long as they dare to fight and achieve results, I won't be stingy with rewards. Go do it."
……
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers! Our Qiongya Independent Brigade annihilated 5,000 enemies!”
" Selling papers, selling papers! Our Qiongya Security Regiment has killed 5,000 enemies and wiped out the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Rising Sun Tribe!"
Chen Zuyan's efficiency was as fast as ever. She had just received the battle report in the afternoon, and not long after lunch, the urgent newspaper had already appeared in the hands of the newsboys hawking in the streets and alleys of Ying Tian City.
" Paper boy, I want a newspaper."
"Hey, that paperboy, give me a newspaper too!”
A middle-aged man in a suit stopped a paperboy who was peddling newspapers everywhere. He stuffed a dollar into the paperboy's hand and took a copy of the newspaper.
Looking at the one-dollar bill in his hand, the little paperboy was so anxious that he almost cried. A newspaper cost two cents. One dollar was definitely a huge sum of money to him. How could he change it?
"Sir, your money is too big. I can't change it. I'll return the money to you. Consider this newspaper a gift from me."
The little paperboy pitifully handed the money back to the middle-aged man.
Even though he had to sell a few more copies of the newspaper to earn back the money.
The middle-aged man didn't take the money from the paperboy. He touched the paperboy's withered hair and said,
"I'm happy today. This money is the money I used to buy the newspaper. Take it and buy delicious food."
Without waiting for the little paperboy to react, he took the newspaper and walked away, leaving the little paperboy with tears in his eyes saying thank you non-stop.
Today was definitely a good day for the paperboys in Yingtian City. The urgently printed newspapers were quickly sold out.
The young paperboys, who had been back and forth to the newspaper office many times, were so tired that they were sweating but had smiles on their faces. Today's income was more than their usual weekly income.
Of course, they weren't the only ones who were happy. Ever since the Rising Sun Empire landed in Shanghai, the news of Hua Yiguo's troops suffering consecutive defeats and heavy losses had shrouded the entire Ying Tian City in depression.
Today's battle report was like a shot in the arm to a heart patient, and Ying Tian City finally became a little more lively.
The paperboys 'hoarse voices were filled with joy. Many people lit firecrackers to celebrate this hard-won victory.
"Sister Ning Xin, look, this Zhong Yu is so young. He's about the same age as you, 20 years old. You're already a brigade commander at such a young age. Didn't you say that you'll marry a hero in the future? I think he's quite suitable for you. I just don't know what he looks like.”
"Little girl, do you want to die? Do you still want me to treat you to delicious food? If you talk nonsense again, I won't treat you.”
Two young and beautiful women in school uniforms were holding newspapers in their hands. They were laughing and fooling around as they disappeared into the corner of the street.
……
Because of the issue of harmony, I changed the way I addressed him in the future. After all, my tradition of changing chapters after chapters was too scary.
Finally, he begged for flowers, votes, anything!
