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

Many rice fields were bombed with huge mud craters, and many villages and towns were razed to the ground by bombs.

But fortunately, the Chinese military and civilians have already paid great attention to air defense, and there are air defense posts everywhere. The devil's plane is still far away, and the air defense siren blared mournfully.

The people working in the fields and the officers and soldiers in training hid in the woods or dug into holes when they heard the air defense sirens, and the casualties caused by the Devil's planes were also decreasing.

After the Devil's plane left, people did whatever they were supposed to do, and they became accustomed to bombing by the Devil's plane.

Because the field hospital is well concealed, although the devil's plane hovered over the vicinity of Changsha from time to time, they did not find the location of the field hospital.

Although he was recovering from his injuries, Yang Ling, as a regiment-level official, also enjoyed good treatment and had a separate house to live in.

The wounded soldiers' hospital with thousands of people stinks to the sky. People covered in blood are brought in, and those whose bodies are hard are carried out. The brothers with missing arms and legs are also wailing in pain. The doctors are exhausted all day long.

Although Yang Ling had a separate room to recuperate, he didn't seem lonely alone. There were many brothers in the regiment who were injured in the Wanjialing battle. Hearing that the regiment was injured, anyone who could move would come to talk and play chess with Yang Ling every day.

Yang Ling's wound infection worsened. When he first arrived at the hospital, the doctor ordered an amputation. Yang Ling refused to do it. If he became a one-armed regiment leader, he would lead troops to fight. With his insistence, he finally managed to save his arm.

In the era of lack of medicine and medicine, for busy doctors, amputation is not necessary for many injuries, but in order to save medicine and time, amputation is always done, which is also helpless.

The wounded brothers ran around Yang Ling all day long, and the regiment leader was injured in the charge on the battlefield. The brothers admired him from the bottom of their hearts.

The brothers chatted and bragged together, and sometimes played chess, but it became boring after a long time, Yang Ling had to ask them to get some newspapers and books to amuse Yang Ling when they came over, so as to understand the situation outside the hospital.

The fire in Changsha was quickly dealt with, and the Chairman also flew to Changsha to inspect the victims, and went to the 74th Army's station to express condolences. However, Yang Ling had already been sent to the hospital before that, so he didn't see him.

Yang Ling also learned a lot of information about the outside world through major newspapers and radio stations, so that even though he was in the hospital, he knew everything about the outside world like the back of his hand.

The Chinese army repeatedly fought with the little devils in the outskirts of Wuhan for several months, consuming a lot of the little devils' vitality. Although they finally captured Wuhan, what they got was an empty city.

The little devil who has been fighting for several months is also exhausted, unable to launch a large-scale offensive in a short period of time. Although the little devil has frequently succeeded in battle, he has suffered a crushing defeat in strategy.

They first wanted to destroy China within three months. The Chinese army fought bloody battles on the Songhu battlefield for three months with their flesh and blood, breaking the devil's plan for a quick victory.

The little devils were very arrogant before the war. Their annual steel output was more than 500 million tons, while China only had tens of thousands of tons. They produced more than 1000 aircraft a year, while China could only rely on foreign purchases...

It is precisely based on the comparison of a large number of military and economic data that the little devils thought that China could be destroyed in a short period of time, but they underestimated the determination of Chinese officers, soldiers and people to resist.

Millions of officers and soldiers trekked thousands of miles to the battlefield, just to go to the national crisis, and just one battle in Songhu bankrupted the devil's plan to destroy China in three months.

The devil's base camp also proposed to capture Wuhan and use force to make an emergency landing on the Chinese government's bottom-line plan, trying to achieve its own strategic intentions.

But the little devil was disappointed again. After four months of fierce fighting, countless soldiers were lost, and countless weapons and ammunition resources were spent to get an empty city. China is still resisting.

Although the little devils captured more than half of China, the devils were also exhausted after more than a year of continuous fighting. With the expansion of the occupied area and the stretching of the front line, they became more and more powerless.

After the capture of Wuhan, the devils had to adjust their strategy based on the current situation, changing from armed attack to political inducement to surrender, supplemented by armed attack.

Politically, they constantly win over the senior officials of the government, trying to lure the government to surrender. In the military, they only maintain local pressure, and no longer press every step of the way.Deploy the main force to the rear occupied area to carry out the battle of law and order.

With the change of the little devil's strategy, the devil suspended its large-scale offensive, and the Chinese army, which had lost more than one million yuan after fighting for more than a year, finally took a breath, and the two sides entered the stage of confrontation.

The little devil is adjusting the strategy, and the Chinese side is also adjusting the strategy. The various troops have suffered heavy losses in the battle for more than a year, and the weapons and equipment have suffered a lot. Then they began to take turns to train.

Because the 74th Army fought quite brilliantly in the first battle of Wanjialing, it was directly listed by the Military Commission as the General Strategic Reserve, and it was directly under the Central Military Commission.

Replenishment of weapons and equipment is a priority, especially a group of young Whampoa officers were deliberately drawn from the Whampoa Military Academy to supplement the 74th Army to restore combat effectiveness.

Before the 74th Army, there were many units capable of fighting tough battles, such as the main forces such as the 87th and 88th Divisions of German Armor.

Many ace troops on the battlefield are gradually disappearing from people's vision under such circumstances, because they can't get replenishment with high-quality soldiers and weapons. .

Fortunately, the 74th Army is a direct line of the Central Army after all, and there are people in it who are easy to talk to. After all, Army Commander Yu Jishi is the chairman's nephew.

With the addition of a large number of Whampoa officers and high-quality soldiers and weapons, the strength has not weakened, but has become stronger.

The strength of the 74th Army has been enhanced under the care of the Military Commission, and their opponent, the Devil's 11th Army commanded by Okamura Ningji, has also been strengthened, and three divisions have been placed under the command of the 11th Army.

Let the troops under the direct command of the 11th Army reach seven elite divisions, which can be described as powerful. They are pressing on the Xinqiang River, Xiushui River and the Ninth War Zone troops. They are eyeing Changsha. The cloud of war has not dissipated. .

On the Chinese side, it is actively preparing for the war. Based on the summary of the experience of fighting the little devils in the first stage, the Military Commission has also made new deployments.

Order one-third of the country's troops to be transferred to the enemy's rear to fight guerrillas to contain the devils, one-third to be stationed in the front to confront the little devils, and one-third to be transferred to the rear for training in turns. The troops rotate with each other. Each period lasts four months. To strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Among them, the 7th Army of the Guangxi Army, the 24th Army and the 26th Army fought guerrillas in the Dabie Mountains and other areas behind the enemy, and were responsible for operations behind the enemy, while the 74th Army and other troops were transferred to the rear to start training.

The war zones across the country have also undergone new adjustments, which are divided into ten theaters and one theater behind the enemy. The theater behind the enemy has General Xuezhong as the commander-in-chief, governing the battlefields behind the enemy such as southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu.

Text Chapter 697 Gossip

The most important thing to see in a field hospital is life and death. Many brothers who were extremely brave on the battlefield did not survive the torture in the hospital bed.

Although the hospital kept sending reports to ask for the allocation of medicines, in the just-concluded battle in Wuhan, all the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the allocated medicines were quickly used up, and the next batch of medicines would be delivered without knowing what to expect.

The bandages can also be boiled in boiling water and used repeatedly, but the shortage of medicines really made the doctors in the hospital can only watch the wounded soldiers suffer and cry all night long.

China's economy is already backward, and many medicines are imported. Now that there is a war, many countries have begun to restrict exports to China for fear of offending the little devils.

Although the Chinese army has fought against the devils for so long, the reason why China did not declare war on the devils is also distressing. It is not that China has no backbone, but that once war is declared, it belongs to the belligerent country, and many strategic materials can no longer be purchased from other countries. up.

The moaning and howling in the hospital continued, and the doctors were also powerless. During the rounds every day, some officers and soldiers who died at night would be carried out to bury them.

Some of the officers and soldiers who died in the hospital died of their wounds deteriorating, and some of them cut off their arteries due to the unbearable pain...

Seeing these brothers who had never bowed to the little devils on the battlefield left one by one and turned into piles of new graves next to the hospital, Yang Ling felt quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this situation improved after a period of time. Many patriots learned that the hospital was short of medicines, and spent a lot of money to buy them from various sources, which finally eased the embarrassment of the shortage of medicines in the hospital.

With the passage of time, a large number of wounded soldiers were discharged from the hospital, and the cost of medicines was much reduced. The hospital finally passed the most difficult period.

Although Yang Ling's arms were still hanging around his neck, the wound from the bullet had begun to heal, and he would be discharged from the hospital soon.

The brothers in the regiment were also discharged from the hospital and returned to the team one after another, which made Yang Ling seem to have nothing to do. Although he wanted to return to the regiment quickly, he was rejected by the hospital because his wound had not fully healed.

"Guess what I brought you something delicious?"

Yang Ling was lying on the hospital bed reading a book, when Zhang Hongying came into the room, hiding the lunch box behind her like a little girl, and said with a smile.

With the recovery of a large number of wounded soldiers, Zhang Hongying, who was exhausted from being busy a few days ago, was also so busy. She would take some time to visit Yang Ling almost every day, which moved him very much.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to bring me food every day, you see I've been fattened up by you."

Yang Ling knew that Zhang Hongying must have brought some food from the hospital to his doctor again. Although he was touched, he was also a little embarrassed.

"I don't know good people, and I made a mistake in bringing you food."

Hearing Yang Ling's words, Zhang Hongying immediately pouted, and put the lunch box on the table with an unhappy face.

"Okay, okay, can I eat it?" Seeing that Zhang Hongying was a little angry, Yang Ling had no choice but to lose.
