The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

Yang Ling didn't care when he saw it, but Zhang Hongying ran over and complained several times, saying that their brothers had thick skins.

As the saying goes, after three years in the military camp, sows compete with Diaochan, Yang Ling turned a blind eye to his brothers. As long as they don't mess around, they can do whatever they want. If anyone can see each other right, they might be able to have a wedding banquet up.

Along the way, with Yang Ling and his group accompanying them, Zhang Hongying and the others felt a lot more relaxed. The brothers competed to carry the wounded and patrolled the wounded everywhere, which made them feel extremely at ease.

The farther you go south, the quieter the sound of the guns. When you approach Changsha, you can no longer hear the gunshots behind you. The brothers are also interacting with the female medical soldiers, and gradually recover from the shadow of the war that just passed. came out.

The car has been on the road for more than ten days, the weather has become clear, and the planes of the devil soldiers have started to move frequently again, but every time the devil's plane is still far away, the air defense post has discovered it.

The brothers were also familiar with the road, drove the car to the side of the road to hide, pulled down the camouflage such as branches made along the way, and tricked the ghost soldier's plane several times.

Tired and bumpy all the way, the convoy arrived at the outskirts of Changsha until November [-]th.

And the 74th Army has already arrived here by train, and the brothers got a bad news as soon as they got off the train.

It's not that the ghost soldiers came here, but that the ancient city of Changsha, a thousand-year-old city, was completely burned down by a fire when it was No. 13.

More than a dozen banks, more than a dozen universities, dozens of factories and more than 20 residential houses in the city were burned to ashes, but it was their own people who set the fire.

"Our army has received the order from Chief Xue to enter the city to maintain order and rescue the victims. Your regiment hastened there as well."

As soon as Yang Ling and the others got out of the car, a staff officer from the division hurriedly found Yang Ling and asked them to enter the city.

Wuhan fell, and Changsha was under the threat of devils. Yang Ling and the others came here to defend, but who knew that they hadn't fought the devils yet, and the first thing they did was to go to the city for disaster relief.

Text Chapter 695 Burning the City

After the fall of Wuhan, Ningji Okamura lost his face due to the heavy damage suffered in the Wanjialing battle, so he did not give up. He commanded the divisions of the 11th Army under his command to pursue the retreating troops of the Ninth Theater.

Taking advantage of the trend, they captured Xianning, Tongcheng and other places successively, and captured Yueyang on November [-]. Taking advantage of the clear weather, the devil's fleet also began to bombard Changsha and other places frequently and indiscriminately.

Although the troops belonging to the Ninth Theater of China have deployed defenses on the Xiushui River and the Xinqiang River to prevent the 11th Army of Okamura Neji from continuing to attack Changsha.

However, hundreds of thousands of refugees and a large number of troops transferred from Wuhan area poured into Changsha, and various rumors were flying all over the sky, which made Changsha become jittery.

"The devils have already crossed the Xinqiang River and are rushing towards Changsha!"

"The devil is less than fifty miles away from Changsha..."

......

All kinds of rumors undoubtedly made the whole of Changsha panic. In addition, on the 11th, the chairman sent two telegrams to the chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, demanding that the "scorched earth war of resistance" be persisted.

Once Changsha can't be defended, then we can't leave bricks and tiles and a grain of food for the little devils. With all kinds of news flying all over the sky, Changsha has to prepare to burn the city.

However, there was an agreement in advance that the city was not allowed to be burned unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, Changsha is a thousand-year-old city, and all the provincial government agencies and banking schools are located in Changsha.

The number of refugees flooding into Changsha has also reached 40 million. Once Changsha City is burned, the losses caused will be immeasurable.

But the situation at that time was too chaotic. On the night of No.13, the vanguard of the 74th Army withdrew to Changsha and arrived at the outskirts of Changsha. The people who set fire in the city thought that the devils had attacked outside the city. Without confirmation, they began to set fire city.

As one location started to set fire, the rest of the agreed locations started to light one after another. With the help of Night Breeze, within a short period of time, the entire Changsha was plunged into a sea of ​​flames.

The fire burned for two full days and two nights, burning this thousand-year-old city to ashes. When the fire ignited in Changsha, the little devil was still blocked by troops belonging to the ninth war zone at Xinqiang River and Xinqiang River hundreds of miles away. Repair the river.

When Yang Ling and the others arrived in Changsha by car, the whole city was almost burnt down, black ash was floating in the sky, and the city was turned into ruins.

"Quick, gather, gather!"

The officers and soldiers who had just got off the car had no choice but to get together and run into Changsha City before they could take a breather, to carry out rescue and maintain order.

Changsha has become a Shura field, and the smell of burning is wafting in the air. As far as the eye can see, it is completely scorched, and there is not a single complete building. Many people who died in the fire lie on the side of the road, and they have long been unable to distinguish their appearance.

"Damn it, whoever set it on fire will be dragged out and shot ten thousand times!"

Seeing the tragic situation in the city, the brothers naturally felt angry. Thinking of last year, in order to stop the devil army, the Military Commission ordered to blow up the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou, turning dozens of counties into a swamp country, submerged in the flood There are more than a million people, and how similar it is to the current situation.

The brothers cursed while rescuing the burnt civilians from the ruins, and the officers and soldiers whose families were in Changsha cried even more, which made the brothers feel even more uncomfortable.

"Scorched Earth War, Scorched Earth War, why don't you burn his house down!" Looking at the miserable scene, some people couldn't help but cursed.

In the battle against the little devils, in order to preserve the strength of the government and for the sake of the so-called grand strategy, the Chinese people endured too much suffering. They were burned, flooded, and abandoned in Nanjing to be slaughtered by the little devils...

But even in this difficult situation, the Chinese people who are in dire straits still save money and donate excess food to the front line to resist the invaders.

Although the common people did not get anything from the country, every time the army was recruited, the common people sent their sons and husbands to the front line to fight without any complaints.

But after each battle, almost every family in many villages and towns wore mourning, and the tragedy of white-haired people sending black-haired people was performed in countless families.

In the battle with the little devil, the tens of millions of casualties are just a series of cold casualties, but behind this, how many people can deeply understand the suffering caused by the little devil to the Chinese nation? His wife and children were separated, and his family was destroyed...

The city was turned into ruins, and the little devil was also blocked on the Xiushui River and the Xinqiang River, where it was difficult to survive, and he faced off with the troops belonging to the Ninth War Zone across the river.

The devils could not hit Changsha for a while, and the 74th Army troops that went to Changsha for defense also had no combat missions in a short period of time. Under the orders of the chiefs, they began to help maintain order and rebuild houses for the people.

Although the house can be rebuilt in a short period of time, the wealth of the thousand-year-old city was completely burned in the fire, which has to be said to be a huge loss.

The fire in Changsha had an extremely bad impact. Not only the people were filled with grievances, but even the troops criticized the government a lot. The brothers were full of resentment.

They fought bloody battles with the little devils on the front line, but in the rear, in order to carry out the scorched-earth war of resistance, their homes were burned down by the officials before the little devils came to fight.

Since hundreds of thousands of Nanjing people were killed by little devils, the Yellow River exploded and flooded more than 40 counties and districts, and now it has burned Changsha... What the government has done has aroused public outrage.

Although it is said that the little devil is extremely vicious, none of the actions of the government are for the sake of the people. After the fire broke out, in order to appease the anger of the people, the government ordered a thorough investigation into the cause of the incident.

The speed of the investigation was very fast. Just a few days later, news came that Zhang Zhizhong, the chairman of the Hunan Provincial Government, was dismissed on the spot, and a large number of people including the head of the Second Changsha Police Regiment and the police chief were arrested and shot.

After Yang Ling got the news, he was already lying on a hospital bed in the field hospital. The bumps and fatigue along the way and he was busy directing the troops to fight fires and disasters for several days and nights.

The physical strength was severely overdrawn, and the wound he was shot was not treated in time due to the poor conditions on the battlefield, which led to wound infection, so he had to be admitted to the hospital to start recuperating.

Although the national government has dealt with the Changsha fire this time with unprecedented intensity, and even the provincial chairman could hardly escape, but the so-called "scorched earth war of resistance" policy is the most important driving force behind the deep-seated reasons.

Without this order, Changsha would not have piled up all the streets and houses with firewood, doused them with gasoline and prepared to burn the city, and there would have been no misfires later on.

Although the matter was solved almost perfectly, the person responsible was found, and the anger of the people gradually calmed down when they saw a large number of people being dealt with, but the hearts of the people in the government were lost in repeated deaths.

Yang Ling was a soldier, and his duty was to defend his home and country against invaders, so he didn't bother to ask about the so-called current situation politics.

The devils were blocked by the troops belonging to the ninth war zone on the Xinqiang River and Xiushui River. After the devils captured Wuhan, they were actually unable to continue to attack, and the battle line was too long.

The devils won't be able to fight for a while, the fighting gradually subsided, away from the battlefield of gunpowder, Yang Ling enjoyed a rare rest time in the hospital.

Text Chapter 696 Rehabilitation

The city was burned to ruins, and the field hospital was placed in a temple on the outskirts of Changsha. There were not enough houses, so a large number of tents were built in the green pine forest to house the wounded.

The devil's plane came here and there every now and then, throwing bombs everywhere. Changsha city was already burned, so they threw bombs at nearby villages and farmland.
