    With Matsuura Junrokuro fleeing north with hundreds of remaining soldiers, this battle has come to an end!

    Except for a small number of Japanese remnants in some strongholds who managed to escape, the 106th Division in Songpu was almost completely wiped out. More than 19,000 people were wiped out. Even Matsuura Junrokuro himself almost became a prisoner.

    When the news came, the government was shocked!

    After receiving the telegram of the Wanjialing victory from Chen Cheng, Chairman Chiang in the Wuhan camp smiled broadly and felt very happy.

    Amidst the congratulations and praises, Chairman Chiang dictated a telegram to the soldiers of the First Corps on the front line to congratulate them and express their merit.

    In this commendation order, Chairman Chiang also showed rare generosity: "In the Battle of Wanjialing, all the armies launched a massive counterattack and wiped out more than 10,000 enemies. This fully proves that the commanders at all levels have provided good guidance and all the soldiers are loyal and brave."  Struggle is easy to win and be rewarded As for the rewards from various ministries, in addition to Chief Chen who will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan, the chairman of the committee will reward another 50,000 yuan as encouragement."

    Coupled with the victory of the Battle of Wanjialing, which coincided with the National Government¡¯s Double Tenth Day, this greatly inspired the anti-Japanese courage and determination of the military and civilians across the country to win the Anti-Japanese War. Celebrations were carried out in various forms across the country.

    The good news of the victory at Wanjialing reached Nanchang. The whole city was excited and the sound of firecrackers continued day and night.  People from all walks of life in the province and city were extremely enthusiastic and held a victory celebration meeting at 7:30 pm on October 6. More than a thousand government officials and public representatives attended the meeting.

    At the meeting, Fan Zhengbo reported the victory of Wanjialing, and the venue burst into applause.  Representatives of the wounded soldiers on the battlefield participated in the meeting as a whole, holding wooden signs and writing letters to "move forward in the footsteps of the martyrs" and "avenge the compatriots who died in the war and the victims."

    The Jiangxi Provincial Support Association presented flags to the participating troops, embroidered "The Great Wall of the Nation" and "National Glory", and presented 500 kilograms of pork and 10 jars of Shaoxing wine to comfort the soldiers.

    This is the most exciting day for the people since the September 18th Incident, because their soldiers won the battle.

    After hearing the good news of the Wanjialing victory in Wuhan City, people from all walks of life rushed to tell each other and rushed to celebrate. Various newspapers published the news of the Wanjialing victory.

    The sounds of firecrackers and parade songs throughout the city resounded through the sky, and the Great Wall built with the blood of the Chinese nation continued to extend.

    When the good news reached Changsha, the Hunan Provincial Government used a large car with a large white cloth sign in front of it, which read "Good news, our army annihilated 20,000 Japanese troops in the west of De'an", and the provincial government band played a victory song.  The secretariat sent people to distribute the notice, and reporters from various newspapers set out to march with them, distributing leaflets along the streets of Changsha City. The people were overjoyed.

    Those who came to the city and the rural farmers came to stop and scrambled out of the number.

    Students, soldiers, etc. all stood at attention, saluted, applauded and celebrated together.

    At about 7 o'clock that night, a torch parade was held to celebrate the victory of De'an in Changsha City at the Provincial Education Conference Ping, with more than 4,000 people in the parade.  Before departure, enthusiastic young people distributed extra torches to the crowd outside, doubling the number of people in the procession.

    The mutually shining torches and loud singing made Changsha boiling, and the singing could still be heard echoing until late at night.

    On the same day, celebration meetings were held in Kunming, Guilin, Xiangtan, Changde, Ji'an, Yichun, Wanzai, Shanggao, Nanfeng, Pingxiang, Qingjiang, Qianshan, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Zhongshan, Guiyang, Xinjiang and other places.

    Amid the joy and excitement of the Wanjialing victory, people across the country further aroused people's indignation against the Japanese invaders, increased their confidence in winning the war of resistance, and strengthened their determination to drive out the Japanese invaders.

    Subsequently, the detailed battle report of the Wanjialing victory was publicly disclosed by the Nationalist Government. In this battle, the 123rd Regiment, 145th Regiment, 147th Regiment and 149th Regiment of the Japanese 106th Division, as well as the accompanying troops participating in the battle, except for two to three hundred people who escaped  In addition, all were wiped out, with more than 19,000 casualties.

    Our army seized more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, more than 3,000 rifles, 16 mountain guns, 28 mortars, more than 300 war horses, and captured more than 300 Japanese soldiers alive. They also seized mountains of Japanese military documents and military supplies.

    After the battle report was made public, people across the country were filled with joy again!

    At the same time, congratulatory messages from all over the country were sent to the First Corps Headquarters like snowflakes, and to Xue Yue!

    "The great victory at Wanjialing saved the capital from danger, served as a safeguard for Jianghan, and connected with Pingxing, making Taierzhuang the third in a row, and its reputation will last forever."

    "In the battle of Wanjialing, Brother Xue turned the tide and wiped out an enemy division. It is gratifying and congratulatory"

    However, no matter who sent the congratulatory message, Xue Yue just smiled indifferently and didn't take it to heart, because only he knew how difficult and dangerous the so-called Wanjialing victory was.

    Although there was Li Guoyao¡¯s guidance at the beginning of this war, on that dayAfter truly moving south, everything else will depend on his First Corps.

    It is especially dangerous during the final encirclement and annihilation of the Matsuura Division. Trapping the 106th Division is only the beginning, and a tough battle lies behind.

    In this battle, the First Corps is not fighting a single encirclement and annihilation battle, but its 100,000-strong army is fighting on the outside within the inside line. Okamura will not give him too much time.  If you want to eat the Matsuura Division, you must finish the work before the reinforcements of the Okamura Army arrive, otherwise you will fail to defeat the tiger and suffer the consequences.

    However, the situation at that time was that all his first corps had been dispatched, and there really were no troops left to mobilize!

    There are troops in Wuhan, but water far away cannot quench the thirst nearby.  The garrison troops near De'an held Okamura back, putting more pressure on him, and of course they couldn't move.  In the end, Xue Yue took the risk and pulled down the 66th Army on Lushan Mountain, and finally achieved the great victory at Wanjialing.

    However, only Xue Yue knew how dangerous this battle was. You must know that Ye Zhao's 66th Army was specifically designated by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to be placed on Lushan Mountain, preparing to stay behind enemy lines to fight guerrillas after the fall of northern Jiangxi.  This is Chairman Chiang¡¯s last trump card and will not be transferred to anyone easily.

    In view of this, Xue Yue played a lot of tricks at the time. He knew that the possibility of being approved to directly transfer the 66th Army down the mountain was too small. If he was rejected and then transferred, wouldn't it be an open defiance of the commander-in-chief, with unpredictable consequences?

    But the 66th Army was crucial to Wanjialing, and he had to use it. It was better to kill it first before hitting the wall, so he ordered the 66th Army to go south in the name of the commander-in-chief of the First Corps. After the troops were detached, he went to Wuhan.  Ask for instructions.

    Xue Yue said it happily, but he had no idea whether he could mobilize the effective force of the 66th Army. After all, he did not have the sword above the Central Military Commission.

    ????????????????????????????? herself, no one is willing to take the initiative to sacrifice her life for others without orders from above, and it will be thankless for her efforts. If she is defeated, she will be charged with "disobedience" again, and it will never be possible to get over again.

    Fortunately, everyone knows that his current situation is difficult, and the Military Commission has adopted a tacit attitude towards his decision to kill first and report later. Although he did not explicitly support it, he did not stop him.  Xue Yue originally had no intention of getting any nice words from the Military Commission, as long as he could mobilize the 66th Army.

    And the 66th Army also gave him a lot of face. Army Commander Ye Zhao wholeheartedly agreed, and it went surprisingly smoothly!

    Of course, the reason why the 66th Army was willing to listen to Xue Yue's dispatches without military orders was mainly because both Xue Yue and Ye Zhao were fellow Guangdong people, and Ye Zhao was very dissatisfied with Chairman Chiang for leaving the 66th Army behind enemy lines to fight guerrillas.  dissatisfied.

    You must know that the 66th Army is composed entirely of soldiers from Guangdong, and it is not suitable to fight guerrillas in the Hubei and Jiangxi regions.  From a field army to a guerrilla force, the status has been reduced a lot. The language is not clear and the environment is unfamiliar. None of the officers and soldiers want to stay behind enemy lines and drill into the mountains and forests.

    Therefore, when Xue Yue, a Guangdong officer, greeted the 66th Army, from the commander to the soldiers, everyone cheered and responded. His eagerness to fight even exceeded Xue Yue's own troops.

    Xue Yue got an unexpected army force, and they were Cantonese officers and soldiers who were easy to command; Ye Zhao took the opportunity to go down to Lushan Mountain, avoiding the drudgery of guerrillas behind enemy lines, and both parties were happy.

    After the war, it was proved that when Xue Yue and Songpu fought until the last five minutes, if it were not for the 66th Army, and if it were not for the 74th Army and the 187th Division that had been forced to stay, Xue Yue's Wanjialing victory was just a fantasy, and at best it could only be achieved.  It is an outcome that is difficult to annihilate.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
