Chapter 156: Marching Northward

After the liberation of Sichuan, Chengdu, as a major town in the southwest, developed most rapidly. Full-text novels (Qihang novels ~ Fictions on the Internet) will become an economic center that radiates around in just a few years. Different from Chongqing's use of advantages along the Yangtze River to develop heavy industries, Chengdu follows a high-tech route. Industrial parks represented by Qingyang Science Park and Longquanyi High-tech Park will complete the first phase of the project in the fourth five-year plan. Among them, picture tube factory, Chenghong TV factory, Minsheng Electric Appliance Factory, second- and third-generation electronic tube projects, and downstream downstream supporting electronics factories for national defense SSS-level projects, transistor research institutes, etc. are some of the typical representatives. .

Southwest People's Army, the main third division station in Chengdu Yixian

On the large training ground, the rotation training company was conducting military training, and there was a sound of neat gunfire on the shooting range. The third division, as one of the ten main divisions of the Southwest People's Army, has been maintaining in the suburbs of Chengdu. Half an important force for Sichuan stability.

Huge slogan banners are posted on the training ground: stay loyal to the country, protect the family and kill the enemy

In front of the slogan banner, a young military officer quietly looked at the eight characters, his eyes expressing a strong sense of war.

"Anlan"

A thick voice sounded, and the young officer turned back to see the person, saluting him in a reflective manner, "Old Battalion Commander"

It turned out that this young officer was one of the representatives of the Southwest Young Army officer, Dai Anlan.

Strictly speaking, the Southwest People's Army has been in the army for less than two decades, and the overall officer composition is very young. However, as a cutting-edge representative of Huaxia Military Academy, Dai Anlan rose up in the army like a shining martial arts star. First at the grass-roots commander of the 1st Division, and then in the first frontier defense, a company of troops blocked the British battalion, the Indian vanguard.

That battle was Dai Anlan's battle for fame. China and Britain fought. Before the first battle, many people were not particularly well-founded. Although the southwest is a newly rising strong army, some negative voices still exist in the face of the old empire. However, it was in this situation that Dai Anlan ate the first crab, blocked the British, and won valuable time for the follow-up main forces to build a line of defense.

The old company commander in his mouth is naturally Chen Jiheng, the old battalion commander of that year. In the night of seven years, Chen Jiheng was the captain of the battalion division with actual combat. First, he was transferred to the deputy battalion of the main division. Dai Anlan, as his effective subordinate, also went to the main division and became a company commander. Seven years have passed. The original Chen Jiheng was already the commander of the 2nd regiment of the 3rd Division of the main force. Three months ago, the head of the 3rd regiment was transferred to Macao as commander of the health guard. Dai Anlan, a key seed officer of the military ministry, finally got After being promoted, he became the youngest head of the Southwest.

"Serving the country loyally, defending the family and killing the enemy is really the wish of my Southwest soldiers." Chen Jiheng stepped from the old warlord to the Southwest Army step by step until he became the commander of the Southwest Army. The old warlord army that has decayed, has also received modern new military education, and has more front-line combat experience. It can be said that it is a typical example of a transition from an old system officer to a modern officer commander.

Dai Anlan nodded. Last night's division meeting, both of them as the head of the group naturally participated, and talking about something would not violate the rules. Looking at the old camp leader Chen Jiheng with dark eyes, he could not help smiling. "Old Battalion Commander, you were afraid that you did not sleep last night."

"Not really. The news announced at the division ventilation meeting yesterday was too exciting. I didn't expect that our third division would have the opportunity to become the first northwestern unit in the southwest. It's up to Chiang Kai-shek. Yesterday's division ventilation meeting, Chief Chen read the latest orders of the military on the spot, secretly ordered the Third Division's regiments to be ready to go north at any time. At the meeting, Chen Jun was instructed by the army to briefly explain some of the current political actions in the southwest.

Dai Anlan adjusted his entire cap and sighed, saying, "Tianjin is at stake, but we are thousands of miles away. I really hope to appear under Tianjin tomorrow and fight against the Japanese army. Old battalion commander, if the mission is true Come down, you have to support me and let my three groups play forward. "

"You, you are still so hard-boiled. Those who don't know may think that my old boss is afraid of death, okay. If the next division meeting has the exact news of troop dispatch, I will definitely support your three regiments as pioneers. An Lan, you are a promising soldier, I am optimistic about you. "Chen Jiheng knows that his talent is at best a deputy division. In the end, it is up to Dai Anlan and their group of young people to carry the heavy responsibility of the entire People's Army. .

Dai Anlan made a salute to the old superior who took him all the way. Today ’s fellow officer said seriously: "Please rest assured that if you can make it, your job will be a dead war. It will never humiliate the Southwest Army, never There are minus 40 million compatriots. "

On April 31, the long-planned Japanese army officially launched the Tianjin battle, and the Nanjing National Government and Chiang Kai-shek were hit with a hammer. The Japanese advance forces quickly defeated the Tianjin Police Force and launched an attack on Tianjin City that day. At this time, Tianjin City had no regular army, and it was defended by two security brigades of the Tianjin Security Force.

I have to say that although this Tianjin defense battle is doomed to fail, some unexpected heroes have emerged. Originally, people were impressed with poorly equipped and bad-styled security forces who swore to resist. Outside Tianjin, a brigade's security forces and a defeated half regiment blocked the Japanese army overnight. It was not until the morning of May 1 that they were breached. .

This battle was very hard. The police had only a few of the oldest heavy machine guns, and the rifles equipped were still the goods of the direct warlord era, with only a few old guns whose rifles had been smoothed. The Tianjin police of the two brigades had reached 2,000 casualties by the time of the final defeat.

This number may seem trivial at first, but it is very surprising to think about it. Such tragic casualties, not to mention whether the security forces can afford it, are estimated to have long since been defeated when the KMT ’s regular army was changed. Even in the Northeast Army, such a casualty ratio will replace the troops to rest.

It is worth mentioning here that Wang Yimin himself was born in the Northeast Army. After the September 18th Incident, Zhang Xueliang went north to resist Japan, and Wang Yimin became commander of the Tianjin Security Command. When he was performing his duties, the security forces in Tianjin had fewer than one brigade. Today, the military emergency is not enough to put together the security forces and the police, and barely two brigades who are completely dissatisfied. The actual number is up to one brigade.

It was these soldiers who did not even have official military uniforms who vowed to resist outside Tianjin and blood flowed.

On May 1st, Major General Wang Yimin, commander of the Tianjin Security Command, issued a dead power call: The Japanese are embarrassed, and although they have a commoner background, they also know how to protect their home and defend the country. However, he led the Department to death, and I hope that the Chinese princes will do their best, and let the country be without peace.

A simple power cut, no one had thought of how the Tianjin Police Commander, who was not exposed during the weekdays, was determined to resist Japan. At 11 o'clock on May 1st, Tianjin City was broken and Major General Wang Yimin was dismissed. In order to avoid becoming the first general-level officer captured, he insisted that he killed his wife and children at the last minute and committed suicide at Tianjin Security Command.

At noon on May 1st, the government of the Southwest United Nations and the Nanjing National Government issued anti-Japanese war announcements at the same time, saying that the situation of the Anti-Japanese War is sharp, Japanese people are pressing hard, and the joint anti-Japanese war is an urgent task, hoping to concentrate the power of the entire nation. People will die. At the same time, Nanjing was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General of the National Army of Wang Yimin.

At 3 pm on May 1st, members of the Southwest Government's anti-Japanese cooperation delegation led by Bai Chongxi, director of the Anti-Japanese War Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Southwest Government, and director of the Mainland Division, walked into the Office of the National Government for the second time. The Nanjing National Government, headed by it, launched the last round of cooperation negotiations.

At 9 am on May 2nd, reporters from newspapers of all sizes in China, Chinese and foreign reporters, and reporters from the Southwest Broadcasting Station gathered outside the Nanjing National Government Conference Building. The Southwest United Government and the Nanjing National Government will announce an unprecedented number of people to 40,000 people here. Important decision.

The reporters just waited less than five minutes, and a large number of Southwest and Kuomintang officials came to the press conference. To everyone's surprise, Nanjing KMT Chairman Chiang Kai-shek actually came to the scene, while Southwest officials brought a radio.

Without too many etiquette and formalities, and without diplomatic officials speaking, Chiang Kai-shek personally stood on the podium, cleared his throat, and announced a decision to make journalists cry with joy.

"Gentlemen and ladies, today, I am going to announce a major decision on behalf of the Nanjing National Government. A few days ago, Japanese people again committed me to the land of China, and my 3,000-strong man lost to Tianjin in a **** battle. The town fell and it was for me 40,000 people. Strange shame.

I am here today to announce a major decision. In view of the seriousness and urgency of the anti-Japanese situation, the Nanjing National Government has decided to put aside its differences and cooperate with the Southwest United Autonomous Government to jointly resist the Japanese ... "

When Jiang Jieshi said this, everyone was stunned. Although he knew that there was important news today, and many people ran without breakfast, but he did not expect such amazing news. Standing together, we must fight against Japan together. What is even more shocking is that Chairman Jiang, who has always been more inward than exclusive, also agreed.

The cheers and crying of the reporters interrupted Chiang Kai-shek's speech immediately, which made him have to stop and whisper,

"Quiet gentlemen and ladies, after Chairman Jiang's speech, there is also a speech by Mr. Zhang Shusheng, President of the Southwest, please be quiet."

Gu Weijun's words calmed down the crowd. How did President Zhang from the southwest speak?

Chiang Kai-shek continued, "In view of the urgent situation of the Anti-Japanese War, I have urgently ordered Lieutenant General Chen Cheng of the 18th Route Army to dispatch to the main site overnight. In addition, in order to reflect the spirit of the United Anti-Japanese War, the 19th Route Army was formed by the Southwest Autonomous Government. Corresponding matters can be arranged from now on to promote Pingjin. "

After Jiang Jieshi finished speaking, Bai Chongxi put the radio on the stage and tuned to a channel that reporters are familiar with, FM 101.7MHz, the channel of the Southwest People's Broadcasting Station.

"Dear listeners, everyone. FM 101.7MHz, here is the Southwest People's Broadcasting Station, based in the southwest, looking north and south, I am the host Ye Wanyu. Now I will temporarily broadcast an important news, the Southwest United Autonomous Government and Nanjing just ended During the anti-Japanese talks of the National Government, the two sides reached an important decision on joint anti-Japanese resistance.

Just now, Comrade Zhang Shusheng, the Supreme Leader of the Southwest United Autonomous Government, came to the recording studio. President Zhang will give an important public speech to the audience. "

Jiang Jieshi's face is a bit ugly, but the conditions of the Nanjing National Government are not as good as those in the southwest, and the broadcasting network is not as developed in the southwest, because many radios are for southwest products. Even if the citizens of Nanjing bought that type of radio, they could receive it. Southwest Radio. Once the National Government tried to import radios from abroad, and the result was the same, it was impossible to stop the people from listening. At this time, in the southwest, the ultra-long-range broadcasting technology was already well developed.

Soon, Zhang Shusheng's powerful speech came from the radio.

"Compatriots, I am Zhang Shusheng, chief affairs officer of the Southwest United Autonomous Government. Today, I would like to announce a major decision to my fellow Chinese. Just now, our Southwest United Autonomous Government and the Nanjing National Government have reached an agreement and signed a purpose Based on the "May 1 Anti-Japanese Memorandum of Understanding" for joint anti-Japanese war. Based on this memorandum, the Southwest United Government and the Nanjing National Government will each organize military forces to go north to anti-Japanese.

The responsibility of the War of Resistance against Japan will never be divided between North and South. Today, 40 million people can work together to raise the banner of resistance against Japan, which must be a symbol of the resurgence of China.

I am the most responsible person in the southwest. As the anti-Japanese war is about to begin, I will go to the sky and fight against the earth to unite the situation against Japan, as evidenced by heaven and earth. The Southwest People's Army must take the country first, the people first, and the survival of 40 million compatriots first ... "

"Emergency Meet, Urgent Meet"

The guards of the Southwest People's Army stationed in the suburbs of Kunming suddenly sounded the password for emergency assembly. In the extremely rare urgent alarm sound, the soldiers rushed out of the barracks with absolute speed and arrived at the huge training ground.

A division, nearly 20,000 iron-blooded soldiers stood silently on the huge training ground, and immediately approached the guard's political commissar, Li Junming, and walked to the colonel's platform.

Without more words, the large broadcast opened in a slight ionizing sound, and a powerful voice came from the broadcasts all over the camp.

"... There is no distinction between north and south, and people regardless of their age, regardless of their age, have the responsibility to defend the soil ..."

Listen and listen, all Lieutenant men, including Li Junming, shed tears of **** men, no one cried, but had the greatest sorrow and joy.

The same situation happened in Guangxi, Guangzhou, Hainan, and even Hong Kong and Macau.

In addition to military camps, in Kunming, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Guilin and other places, the radio on the People's Square in the city center also opened. Citizens gathered in the square and listened to the speech in the radio.

Most people cried, and after they cried, they yelled and yelled. People wept with joy, embracing and shouting, cities of all sizes in the southwest fell into a wave of great joy at the same time.

Barracks, squares, and schools are also. Each school gathers students urgently, stands in line on the playground, and listens to Zhang Shusheng's speech from the radio.

The countryside is no exception. Many villages are equipped with collective broadcasts. Farmers, holding their trousers and hoes, stand under the old locust tree, looking at the trumpet on the big tree, and listening to important speeches coming from it.

"... Finally, I want to tell my fellow citizens that suffering is only temporary. The 5,000-year-old civilization inheritance of the Huaxia people can not be destroyed by cruel Japanese invaders. If a person commits a crime, I will still measure it. I am here. Our compatriots across the country assured 40 million people, and billions of Chinese people at home and abroad. One day, I will be the Southwest Millionaire Master and my Chinese billionaire man. I will kill the Japanese and kill ten million people. Comrades, Please keep in mind a sentence, whoever commits the Chinese Heavenly Mighty will be stunned from afar. "

"The one who commits the crime of Chinese Tianwei, though far away, will die"

"The one who commits the crime of Chinese Tianwei, though far away, will die"

"The one who commits the crime of Chinese Tianwei, though far away, will die"

...

The unanimous roar came from military camps, squares, schools, governments, and rural areas. The unanimous roar seemed to awaken the power of the nation.

On the training ground of the main third division, the sentiment was excited, and the soldiers were in tears, and Chen Jun's eyes were also flushed. Eventually, two lines of tears shed. At the end of the broadcast, he took the lead and shouted: "The one who commits the crime of Chinese Tianwei, though far away, will die"

"The one who commits the crime of Chinese Tianwei, though far away, will die"

"The one who commits the crime of Chinese Tianwei, though far away, will die"

The soldiers also shouted in unison. Like every place in the southwest, the soldiers here are also full of fighting spirit, and they can't wait to go to the front line of the anti-Japanese immediately and fight the Japanese dead.

It took a long time for Chen Jun to stop, and he said loudly, "Now I want to announce good news to you. Just ten minutes ago, the military issued the first order on the joint anti-Japanese war. Our third division will serve as an anti-Japanese advance force , The first batch to go north. "

Upon hearing this news, all the officers and men of the Third Division blushed with excitement. Just now, when they were still spraying nowhere for the blood of killing enemies, the division chief announced to everyone that this was great. Message.

"Long live the People's Army and live long"

"Long live the People's Army and live long"

"Long live the People's Army and live long"

...

The second time ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ All the third division officers and soldiers shed tears of excitement again. The kind of fighting spirit was so high that Chen Jun was shocked and felt like a small boat. It was pushed again and again by the momentum of 20,000 people. However, as a commander, he was more excited and happy than any soldier. No one knew. When announcing the first batch of anti-Japanese troops, Zhang Shusheng had talked to a few people, and faintly revealed the information that might go north to resist Japan, thereby testing the reactions of several generals.

Although each general desperately wanted to take on the heavy responsibility, only Chen Jun was given the opportunity.

Except for confidential secretary Mao Yunxian, I do n’t know how Chen Jun fought for the opportunity to kill the enemy this entire night. He spent a whole night kneeling in front of Zhang Shusheng's office, and his entire lips were bitten. He only said a word Say, "Teacher, please believe me, your student"

Southwest People ’s Army ’s highest commander, Zhang Shusheng, ordered that the Third Division of the Southwest People ’s Army ’s main division be fully prepared to go northward three days later.

The North-South joint anti-Japanese war began immediately.
