Chapter 96 Chapter 96 The End of the Hero 4

Fang Xianjue's words are very truthful. He has both self-control and control over his subordinates. In the national army, Chiang Kai-shek has always paid great attention to maintaining the emotional bond between subordinates and subordinates. It is impossible for a commander to abandon soldiers and escape; Escape is also not acceptable, and this requirement is especially influential in the Central Army of the National Army.The image and personality of the commander is the core of the spirit of the army.Chiang Kai-shek first emphasized the unity and cooperation among the officers in the army, the relationship between the army commander and the officers at all levels, the relationship between the local people and the history of the army, and the sense of honor and belonging. This makes every individual as an officer or soldier, Once entering a certain army, it will be melted immediately and become a part of its organism, forming a unique combat style, spiritual outlook or local habits that are different from other armies with its own characteristics.

The 10th Army is good at defense. In the early days, there were many children from Shandong and Jianghuai, and in the later period, there were many children from Huxiang. Generations of soldiers of the 10th Army have formed the spirit of prohibition, courageous and good at fighting, and both offensive and defensive. This is also an important reason why the 10th Army has never been chaotic or scattered no matter what difficulties and obstacles it encounters. Yu Chengwan was sent to a court-martial for abandoning wounded soldiers. On the contrary, when the 9th Division of the 2nd Army of the National Army broke out in the Battle of Kunlun Pass, the division commander Zheng Zuomin could not be found after the troops broke out.Army Commander Li Yannian ordered the 9th Division to find the division commander, to see the person in life, and to see the corpse in death.The deputy division commander Xia Degui was terrified. When he went back to look for him, he found that the division commander had been shot and died.Chiang Kai-shek was furious when he heard this, and ordered the division's designation to be revoked, and the division was named "Headless Division".He said in his precepts: "The reason why it is called this is that everyone remembers the shameful and hateful act of abandoning the chief!" , the troops were transferred to Leiyang for training.In order to motivate officers and soldiers, the warning of "If you advance, you will not retreat, and if you defend, you will not leave" is printed on the armbands.

This kind of punishment had a great impact. Di Anqiao, the commander of the 200th Division of the Expeditionary Army, died heroically in Maobang Village in northern Myanmar. Carrying his beloved teacher forward.They firmly remembered the teacher's will "to return to the embrace of the motherland no matter what", braved the scorching heat, climbed mountains and waded through hundreds of miles of uninhabited virgin forests, and brought back the remains of the teacher. more than a month.It is said that due to the high temperature and high humidity, the corpse was highly decomposed and dripping water at that time. The soldiers insisted on drying the corpse bit by bit with a roasting fire, and traveled thousands of miles over mountains and mountains. The body was transported back to Tengchong, Yunnan.Chairman Jiang was very moved when he heard the news, and specially commended the loyalty feats and spirit of the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division.

What Fang Xianjue said at this moment, "I committed suicide, even if you escape, the committee cannot forgive you, and you can't be human!" This refers to Chiang's special instructions to the Central Army.His choice and thinking at this time are naturally inseparable from the rules and regulations in the national army. Their running-in and support ••••••This style of army has been carried forward in the hands of Fang Xianjue. His courageous spirit and majestic and resolute character have had an immeasurable impact on the army.Especially in the past two years, the entire army has undergone a qualitative leap in combat skills and military discipline. Whether it was defending Changsha in the third Changsha battle or relaxing and rescuing the siege in the Changde battle, they all performed well.

As far as the record of this Hengyang defense battle is concerned, the combat power of the 10th Army has surpassed any national army unit, and it has also surpassed any battle of the 10th Army itself.When Fang Xianjue inspected the position last night, he not only saw the unprecedented fierce battle and heavy casualties, but also was relieved to see that his subordinates were still fighting with high morale. Chaos, obey orders, stick to their combat positions. The situation among the injured is more complicated.Among them, there are also outstanding figures and athletes in the 10th Army, and there are many backbones and elites in the officer corps. Most of them have lost their combat capabilities.After breaking through the city, they will be brutally massacred by the Japanese army.Who can bear to abandon them and leave them to massacre the city, or send them grenades to commit suicide? Is there only such a tragic fate waiting for them?No other way? ••••••

These good men of the motherland, our good brothers, the warriors who returned to the battlefield after recovering from injuries, or the disabled and honored soldiers who deserve to be honored and protected by the country, if you abandon them now and throw them to the Japanese, you What face will Fang Xianjue have in the future?How can the banner of your 10th Army be erected? This is really a dilemma with no other way!The defense of Hengyang has been fought to the present, or it will be fought to the end, and it will become the hero of the country and the glory of the nation; Regardless of whether you choose to break out or commit suicide, for the 8,000 wounded and sick, they first face the fate of being abandoned and slaughtered••••••

From the field hospital to the wounded soldiers' asylum, from the battalion headquarters of the divisions and regiments to the platoon positions, Fang Xianjue stepped on the rubble and dust, and with the flames of war flying all over the sky, he returned to the military headquarters, back to his silent and silent basement. inside.Many of his thoughts were at first like a bunch of snakes strewn together, claws scratching his heart, a mess of hemp, and a pot of porridge, and gradually, gradually transformed into very shallow and related question marks: How did the wounded and sick follow? You first realize that they have paid for their sweat, blood, and health, and what they have paid is the price of their lives. What else can you ask them to do?What did you do for them?What else can you do for them?How can you be worthy of these brothers who have endured hardships, shared weal and woe, and depended on each other through life and death? !

Fang Xianjue is a person with a strong sense of honor and a strong desire to be a hero. He never shows weakness and never gives in.He worshiped Yue Wumu and Qi Jiguang since he was a child, worshiped heroes on the battlefield, and generals who fought against the enemy.In reality, the external conditions for shaping all kinds of heroes are different.Fang Xianjue encountered a historical calamity that he had never encountered in the international and domestic environment in 1944.If the reinforcements rescue the siege in time, everyone will be happy; if a successful battle can be fought in Hengyang, Hengyang will become a turning point in history, and Fang Xianjue, a hero, will be regarded as a very glorious and glorious hero.But he just wants to be a general defending the city trapped in a dangerous city.Persevering for more than 40 days is an astonishing and brilliant record, which is second to none in the War of Resistance Against Japan, or in other words, this should have been his choice and capital.This chip weighed heavily on the intersection of his anxious thinking.

Fang Xianjue constantly examines his thoughts, is he really going to be Zhang Weiyang and Shi Kefa?Is it possible that Fang Xianjue is the only way to go in this hero mode?It's relatively simple to be such a hero. He doesn't need to consider any price, as long as he has an extraordinary spirit of sacrifice, as long as he has the spirit of giving up everything and sacrificing everything, it's no big deal, nothing more than serving the country with his death!I have already prepared myself for this kind of thinking. This is enough to show that the defenders were unable to fight anymore at that time, and the persistence has not changed the situation of the battle.It seems that the last time is coming soon••••••

At this time, in the air-raid shelter of the 10th Army Headquarters, the division commander and senior staff also followed the commander's pulse and returned to a normal psychological state. Teacher Zhou Qingxiang asked: "We will return to our respective headquarters immediately and fight to the death. If we lose contact, where should our assembly point be?" "Still in the military headquarters, here. If we can't defend here, we will all gather at Tianma Mountain in the end!" Fang Xianjue replied resolutely and loudly. The high-pitched and eager voice echoed in the air-raid shelter in the basement for a long time, colliding with the hearts of the Hengyang defenders present, resonating with them, and inspiring them to go to their respective posts without hesitation, full of Boldly plunge into the final battle!
