Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning, the rising sun is like a fire, and the weather is unbearably hot.  Wu Ming walked out of the military war room in the heart of the mountain, listened to the "chirping" of the birds outside, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt refreshed.  Under the camouflage net set up at the entrance of the cave, there are two tables, and there are several wicker chairs around the table.  "Military seat, come, sit down and drink a cup of hot tea." Zhang Dongning, who was reading the telegram, hurriedly called the guards to bring him a cup of hot tea.  After Wu Ming sat down, he picked up the tea cup and blew gently to push the floating tea leaves aside. He took a sip and praised: "Good tea." "Military, why did you stay up late again? Take care of yourself."  "Looking at Wu Ming's bloodshot eyes, Zhang Dongning said slightly reproachfully.  "This taking advantage of the Japanese army's focus on the frontal battlefield, the task force made continuous attacks behind enemy lines. Especially at night, it is more suitable for chaotic battles. Battle reports are constantly coming. As a military officer, I must understand the situation first-hand.  There is nothing we can do about it" Seeing Zhang Dongning's concerned look, Wu Ming shook his head, and then said: "Currently, the Maoshan detachment has penetrated deep into the Baima, Tianwang, and Houbai lines, and has successfully annihilated one thousand Japanese and puppet troops left behind in the Maoshan area.  With the remaining people, the restoration of the base area is just around the corner; on the way eastward, the Pinghu detachment made a surprise attack on Shimen Town, wiped out more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops in the town, and seized a batch of guns, ammunition, and food supplies; after Li Yong's detachment was expanded into the Southern Jiangsu Detachment,  With the help of the New Fourth Army, we crossed the Yangtze River from Jiangbei and wiped out more than 300 Japanese and puppet troops at the Jiangyin and Fushan lines." "In addition, other detachments are also actively moving, and they may encounter the Japs. How can I do it if I don't keep an eye on them?  ?According to intelligence, due to frequent emergencies in the rear, Tian Junliu has requested help from the country. The Japanese base camp will soon dispatch four to six independent mixed infantry brigades to join the Central China battlefield. In this case, each task force must wait until the Japanese reinforcements arrive.  Open up the situation before, otherwise the situation will be unimaginable." Knowing that the situation was indeed critical, Zhang Dongning nodded with a wry smile and said nothing more.  At this time, a melodious song of "My Motherland" came from a tent next to the headquarters for the accommodation of guard officers and soldiers, "When friends come, there is good wine. If the jackal comes, he will be greeted with shotguns"  , at the end of the song, the angry voice of the male announcer sounded: "Friends listening in front of the radio, dear compatriots, here is a piece of news: Yesterday at 13:25 noon, in the Longmen Mountain area north of Zhuji, Zhejiang, we  The New Second Army faced the Japanese 23rd and 33rd Divisions that were trying to invade central Zhejiang. At that time, the Japanese 72nd Regiment advanced lightly and was surrounded by our troops.  This Japanese army can be completely wiped out" Accompanied by the passionate music of "March of the Broadsword", the announcer complained angrily: "The despicable Japanese devils can't be defeated head-on, so they despicably use poison gas bombs and use more than ten bombers to fight against both the enemy and us.  The gas bombs were thrown on the battlefield, causing huge casualties to our New Second Army Our radio station's military reporters saw with their own eyes that the entire valley was filled with yellow smoke, and the officers and soldiers exposed to the poison gas were either killed or injured. " "After the war, when cleaning the battlefield, the anti-Japanese  The famous general Wu Ming shed tears Our soldiers died miserably, with edema all over their bodies and suppuration in some parts. They did not die under the gunfire of the Japanese army, but fell under the poison gas bombs that are banned in the world. Now, please join us.  A three-minute silence for the dead soldiers, let us pray together" "Heroes who shed their lives and blood to defend the motherland, go with peace of mind. Although you have sacrificed, your spirit will be immortal, and you will always live among the people of the country.  In my heart. We living people will definitely take over your unfinished mission and drive the Japanese devils out of China." Then, a solemn and sad song sounded.  At this moment, apart from this mournful music, all other sounds in the world seemed to disappear. Everyone, including Wu Ming, couldn't help but stand up and bow their heads in silence.  Three minutes later, the mournful music stopped abruptly, and the male announcer's voice came again: "The Japanese have lost their humanity. When they cannot win on the battlefield, they use poison gas bombs insidiously. Since the Battle of Songhu the year before last, until now  , the Japanese army continued to use poison gas bombs against the Chinese army, resulting in the sacrifice of more than 100,000 national army soldiers. From then on, it can be proved that the Japanese are completely a group of devils in human skin, and they must not be treated as human beings.¡± ¡°At this moment, I don¡¯t know.  Are there any listeners from Britain, France, the United States and other countries listening to our program? I would like to remind you that according to the Geneva Protocol, no country is allowed to use poison gas bombs. However, Japan, as a party to the treaty, has no regard for international morality. This is really right.  The biggest provocation in the civilized world." The announcer adjusted his mood and continued: "This morning, General Wu Ming sent a solemn statement to our radio station. The full text is as follows: Japanese people who believe in the spirit of Bushido, you are not claiming that the Chinese army is fundamental.  Aren't you your opponent? When did you lose your pride and self-esteem and dare not compete with us?You fight openly and openly, but you use such despicable means to conspire and plot. I wonder if you have the face to face your gods?  " "The Chinese have always been particular about repaying evil with kindness. When fighting, our New Second Army also abide by morality, treat prisoners kindly, and respond to battles in conventional ways.  However, you guys who are inhumane, use living examples to tell us what it means to be shameless and what it means to do anything." "From now on, whether you are a soldier or an ordinary citizen, whether you have weapons or not, I beg you,  Give up all illusions about the Japanese. We can only treat the Japanese devils with tooth for tooth, eye for eye. Even if we use sickles, hoes, or even stones, we must do our best to let the Japanese know that we are not easy to mess with." "Said  When it comes to poison gas bombs, in fact, our New Second Army also has a certain inventory. Most of them were seized from the Japanese arsenal on the battlefield, and some were produced by our chemical plants. Previously, we strictly abided by international conventions and we did not dare to use them. However, the Japanese used bloody reality to  Tell us that being kind and adhering to the moral bottom line will result in a beating.  I hereby solemnly warn the Japanese commander that if you continue to use poison gas bombs, we will also take retaliatory actions and use poison gas bombs against you." "Finally, I want to say that although a Japanese regiment was successfully annihilated this time, it was because of the  The Japanese army brazenly used poison gas bombs, causing heavy casualties to ourselves.  However, in general, we still won. We annihilated more than 3,000 Japanese troops in one battle. Since the Zhuji battle, our New Second Army has successfully annihilated more than 4,000 Japanese troops. This is an amazing victory. So, the little devil¡¯s nightmare  It is not over, we are still their most powerful opponent and a lingering nightmare.¡± The announcer said impassionedly: ¡°Dear compatriots, now the Chinese nation has reached its most dangerous moment. As long as we unite as one and risk the enemy  Only with artillery fire can the Japanese devils be driven out of our land.  Compatriots, there is a country first and then a home. Only by defending the motherland from bullying can our homeland survive. "I ask all citizens to extend your caring hands and work with our New Second Army to drive the Japanese out of China."  As the announcer's voice fell, the song "March of the Volunteers" sounded, and then Wu Ming heard a burst of warm applause. Almost all the listeners inside and outside the radio couldn't help but applaud.  "Military Seat" Just when Wu Ming was filled with emotion, Du Pingzhang, the confidential section chief, hurriedly walked over from outside the shed and handed him an urgent telegram from eastern Zhejiang.  Wu Ming took it and looked at it, his face darkened.  Zhang Dongning turned his head and asked, "What happened?" "Last night, the main force of the Japanese Fifth Division landed in Zhenhai, and the other two units landed in Haimen and Ruian respectively. They started a fierce battle with the Tenth Army troops overnight. At seven o'clock this morning  , the Japanese army occupied Ningbo. At the same time, the Japanese 4th Division stationed in Xiaoshan marched towards Shaoxing at 21:00 last night. The national army stationed at Meimeishan, Xixiaojiang and Hangwushan defense lines collapsed without a fight. Shaoxing is now  It has become an empty city and will fall sooner or later. Now our door to the east has been opened by the Japanese army," Wu Ming said with a frown.  Zhang Dongning took the telegram from Wu Ming and slapped his thigh angrily after reading it: "It's really embarrassing. There are three divisions on the front line in Shaoxing, and there are two divisions in Ningbo and surrounding areas. They were all easily broken through by the Japanese army  Now that the main force of the national army has retreated to the Kuaiji Mountains, Siming Mountains and Tiantai Mountains, the fall of the Ningshao Plain is almost inevitable." Wu Ming said with a dark face: "Although I expected this day, I didn't expect the Japanese army to win so easily.  , let¡¯s go back to the war room. Now the situation has changed suddenly. Once the national army in the east cannot hold on, the Japanese army may come around to our rear at any time We must be fully prepared.¡± ¡°Yes¡± Zhang Dongning nodded and returned with Wu Ming  In the war room at the foot of the mountain, staff members were organized to deduce the war situation.  In the next half month, the frontline war in Zhuji remained calm, but the war situation in the Ningshaotai area changed three times a day.  First, on the southern battlefield, on June 22, two Japanese brigades landed at Haimen, broke through the coastal defense positions, captured Huangyan, and captured Taizhou the next day.  When Ruian landed, three Japanese brigades broke through the defense lines of the defenders in the area near Ruian and captured Yongjia (now Wenzhou) and Pingyang.  On the northern front, after the Japanese troops occupied Ningbo and Shaoxing on the 23rd, the Fourth Division advanced to Lanting to warn the national troops on the front line of Kuaiji Mountain, while the Fifth Division continued its fierce attack and captured Cixi in just three days.  Yuyao was occupied on the 28th, and Fenghua and Xikou were captured on the 30th. Chiang Kai-shek's former residence fell into the hands of the Japanese invaders.  When Chiang Kai-shek heard the news, he was furious. He angrily rebuked Liu Jianxu, who was leading the Ningshao war, for his inaction, and strictly ordered him to perform meritorious service and recover Xikou, otherwise he would be subject to military law.  Liu Jianxu did not dare to neglect, mustered up his courage, and led his troops to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­
