Hiroyi Watanabe brought his subordinate officers back to the wing command center and held a military meeting to launch the next day when he was hungry. Xia Xingshuo, Lin Nan and others had a full meal and were also holding a military meeting. eng.com was updated the fastest
After the meeting began, Xia Xingshuo praised the officers and soldiers who participated in the Shentouling blocking operation, affirming the strong, brave and fearless spirit of the Chinese and Indian officers and soldiers.
In particular, the commanders such as Lin Yi and Song San who took the lead were highly praised by Xia Xingshuo. Xia Xingshuo promised that after Lin Yi and Song San, the heroic Chinese and Indian troops, they would personally welcome them into the regular PLA troops as officers.
The company-level commanders in the conference room were inspired by this, and most of them applauded with excitement, wishing they would lead their troops to fight the Japanese army to the death this afternoon.
"The main force of the little Japanese will arrive tomorrow." Seeing that everyone seemed very excited, Xia Xingshuo said in a deep voice: "At that time, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. You must learn from the troops participating in the war today, fight to the death in their respective defensive areas, and firmly defend the position."
Everyone made generous speeches, swearing that even if they fight to the last person, they would block the Japanese army in front of the position.
Xia Xingshuo instructed the commander of the first regiment Chen Jie and said, "Captain Chen, your troops have received a certain rest today. Judging from the situation of the little Japanese, they will continue to attack the left ridge on Shentouling early tomorrow morning. Therefore, tonight, you will send a battalion to the left ridge to reinforce."
"Yes," Chen Jie responded loudly: "Please rest assured, Chief Xia. After the meeting, I will personally lead the first regiment and the first battalion up the mountain. My troops have also fought with the Japanese in the past two days, and they are nothing great."
"Don't be careless," Xia Xingshuo warned: "The Japanese army rushed over and started fighting without resting. It is inevitable that they will lack physical strength and will be repelled continuously by our army. After resting today, their offensive strength will be greatly enhanced tomorrow. You must do a battle that is even more arduous and tragic than this afternoon."
Chen Jie thought about it and thought Xia Xingshuo's words were very reasonable. He quickly corrected his attitude and said that he would be very energetic and fight the Japanese army with bloody battles.
Xia Xingshuo continued: "Only after the tempering of cruel battles can our troops become a truly strong army. Although the sacrifices we have made are great, with the officers and soldiers tempered by fierce wars, we will get more.
Therefore, we must use the favorable terrain here to temper the combat effectiveness of the troops and improve military strength."
Then, it was Lin Nan's turn to speak. When Lin Nan talked about the numerous minor and serious wounded people who were difficult to get necessary treatment and would die, the commanders of the battalions and regiment level all calmed down their smiles and expressed sad expressions.
Since the soldiers of the Chinese and Indian troops are all composed of Indonesians, their combat effectiveness is very average and they are not highly valued by the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army. Therefore, there is a very shortage of medical supplies and medical staff for the Chinese and Indian troops.
At this time, after many battles between the Chinese and Indian troops and the Japanese army, the medical supplies stored had almost been exhausted. Although some were seized from the Japanese army, the number was very small and insufficient to use.
After the fierce battle in the afternoon, the number of serious casualties among the Chinese and Indian officers and soldiers reached an astonishing 700. It was impossible for all of them to be treated.
The only remaining products can only save the few Chinese officers. Most of the Indonesian soldiers who were injured by brave combat will die because they did not receive timely treatment.
With these Indonesian soldiers who have received brainwashing education and regard themselves as Chinese descendants, the officers of the Chinese and Indian troops have developed a certain relationship with them. In addition, after many fierce battles with concerted efforts, everyone regards each other as comrades and brothers.
So, now we have to watch these comrades who can continue to live as long as they receive certain treatment. They will lose their precious lives because of lack of treatment. How could everyone not be sad?
Xia Xingshuo expressed deep sympathy for this and made the decision to let the heavy machine gun battalion and mortar battalion produce most of the products to treat the wounded who were in urgent need of treatment.
Both Cao Liming, the battalion commander of the heavy machine gun battalion, and Deng Si, the battalion commander of the mortar battalion, expressed their agreement and support, and immediately put it into practice.
Then, Xia Xingshuo sent another power to Chen Hao, explaining the situation here, and requested Chen Hao to ask the guards and special forces to also produce some products and send them to treat the wounded.f!~!
