Chapter 953: Pledge to Fight (1)
The armies of the whole country are waiting for the order of the high command to go out, but the war has never stopped since the outbreak of the "77 Incident".
In the northern battlefield, the 29th Army and the Nationalist army that had arrived with reinforcements began to reconstruct the defensive line and resist with difficulty.
In the southeast battlefield, since the outbreak of the Songhu War on August 13, China and Japan have gradually increased their troops, and a major battle that no one on either side expected was in full swing in the Battle of Songhu.
The Japanese army had fewer troops in the early stage, and the national army did not fight very hard, but as the Japanese army gradually increased, the headquarters ordered: elite troops from all provinces to support Songhu.
At the end of August, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the 115th Division held a meeting in the large playground of Yunyang Town to reorganize the Red Army and go to the anti-Japanese front. It will destroy our country, destroy our race, kill our father and mother, and rape our mothers, wives and sisters, and burn our crops and houses, and destroy our ploughing tools and livestock. For the sake of the nation, for the country, for the compatriots, for the sake of our children and grandchildren, we can only resist to the end! ”
The sound was like thunder, resounding through the loess land, the blue sky and blue sky.
On September 2, the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army held a swearing-in meeting in Zhuangli Town, Fuping County. On behalf of the Red Central Committee and the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Commander-in-Chief Zhu announced the reorganization order at the meeting, calling on all commanders and fighters to fight bravely for the sacred cause of resisting Japan and saving the country.
In the early morning of September 6, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army held an anti-Japanese meeting on an open field in Sanli Village, Qiaodi Town, Jingyang County, and more than 10,000 people of the division lined up in front of the review stand. The heavy rain poured down, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Liu, and the director of the Political Training Department, Major General Zhang, stood calmly on the review stand, and all the commanders and fighters stood in the torrential rain in an orderly manner. After giving a brief account of the anti-Japanese situation in the whole country, Division Commander Liu said: "In order to resist Japan and save the country and the nation from peril, the 129th Division of the National Revolutionary Army did not hesitate to die and fought to the end for the cause of the nation. ”
All the elite of the red army, the soldiers were divided into three routes, and they swore to march to the northeast of Jin, the north of Jin, and Yuci of Shaanxi.
On September 5, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians lined up in Shaocheng Park in Rongcheng, listening to the speech of Liu Xiang, chairman of Sichuan Province, who had been hospitalized with stomach pain in the past two days, as his health had deteriorated somewhat.
"On the issue of unity in the War of Resistance, I have made a lot of speeches recently, today's activities have a lot of content, time is very precious, and I am not in good health, so I will not repeat many words here, just emphasize one point, resist insults and save the dead, and do your duty for soldiers! It is very glorious for the Sichuan army to dedicate itself to the battlefield and fight for the survival of the nation, and to wash away the shame of the past civil war! This is our pride! Liu Xiang tried his best to say into the microphone.
As soon as the words fell, the Sichuan army team in full gear shouted the slogan: "Fight for the survival of the nation, live up to the hometown fathers!" “
The audience burst into applause, and an overwhelming slogan also sounded: "The people of Sichuan swear to support the soldiers who went out of Sichuan to resist the enemy!" “
This was followed by a speech by Deng Xihou, commander of the first column. He said loudly: "At present, the weapons and equipment of the invading army are far stronger than ours, and we can only achieve the final victory by fighting a war of resistance for a long time. When we go out of Sichuan to resist the war, we must march on the blood stains of the martyrs, and win the battle, of course, it is very glorious; If you can't win the battle, you are determined to return the corpse! If we sacrifice, I hope that the people in the rear, especially the young and middle-aged, will bravely step on our blood and rush to the battlefield of salvation. If you continue to fight one after another, you will definitely be able to defeat any strong enemy! Victory must be ours! ”
The audience was silent at first, and then there was thunderous applause.
Tang Shizun, the commander of the second column, spoke more bluntly, pushed away the microphone and walked to the front of the stage, made an impassioned speech, and the roar resounded throughout the audience: "Fathers and fellow villagers, many people present know that I, Tang Shizun, also known as 'Tang Plague Pig', is because I fought very badly when I was fighting in the civil war. However, now it is different, if I don't fight a civil war and fight a national war, I will no longer be a wreck, I will lead the soldiers of the second column, go east to Kuimen, go straight to Wuhan, defend Nanjing, defend Shanghai, and defend the whole of China! “
The audience immediately applauded. Tang Shizun continued: "If you are still angry at this juncture of national crisis, and you are still in ruins, you will scold the 'Tang plague pig' when you see me, and I will never complain." In a word, this trip is determined to be ashamed of the country, win glory for the nation, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, lose your land, and vow not to return to Sichuan! “
After the applause, he announced that he would use a poem he had just written in the past few days as his oath, and use it to inspire all the officers and soldiers of the column: the man is determined to go out of the pass, and he will not return the oath of not destroying the Japanese slaves, why should he bury his bones in the mulberry land, and there are green mountains everywhere in life!
As soon as the tragic song came out, it was like a strong man breaking his wrist and breaking a boat, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians gritted their teeth and applauded, and the applause shook the sky.
The officers and men of the Sichuan Army, who had already lined up and stood on their backs, carrying their own food bags and bullet belts and carrying their hats, officially set out for the march amid the cheers and applause of the masses and the tsunami.
Wang Mingzhang, Rao Guohua, Guo Rudong and other lieutenant generals and division commanders rode their horses and followed their teams to the outside of Rongcheng.
The Ministry of Military Affairs ordered that the Sichuan Army would be divided into two divisions: the 23rd Group Army would start from Shancheng and go straight down the Yangtze River to Xiaguan and then to Songhu, and the 22nd Group Army would enter Shaanxi and enter Shanxi from the already repaired Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway and rush to the anti-Japanese front in the north.
Although the hundreds of thousands of Sichuan troops were ready to be shrouded in horse leather, they probably couldn't have imagined that this war would be more tragic than they imagined.
Nearly 300,000 soldiers of the Sichuan Army were buried in other places, six lieutenant generals and division commanders from Sichuan, and four of them were martyred, while the first batch of more than 400 regiment-level officers from Sichuan basically died on the front line. And their supreme commander, the second-class general of the national army, will also die of illness half a year later. The forced drag of the sick body was still about to march, which undoubtedly aggravated his illness.
His illness is an old disease, and the new drugs developed by the Science and Technology Department of the Independent Regiment are powerless to do anything about it. Although Liu Lang, who knows this history, tried his best to persuade him, at this time, this second-level general who wants to serve the country and the nation, where can he listen? All he knew was that if he, the commander, was afraid of fighting because of his wounds, his soldiers would be afraid of fighting, and he had to be with his soldiers.
Not only Shaanxi and Sichuan, but also the southern provinces of China have pledged to march north, taking the train north, gathering in the southeast direction of China's economic center.
The base of the independent regiment also held its own pledge meeting on the morning of the tsunami in Rongcheng Mountain.
The venue of the conference was chosen under the martyrs' cemetery of the Independent Regiment, where 3,000 officers and soldiers and 1,000 strong men who were already fully armed stood quietly and solemnly, facing the tombstones of nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers who died since the Songhu Anti-Japanese War in 1932.
The "death" flag, planted in front of the tombstones, gradually became moist in the drizzle, just like the eyes of their brothers who were gradually wet with tears when they looked at their brothers lying quietly in the grave.
It was also a rainy day, and a silky drizzle was sprinkled on their faces, in their eyes, and on the bodies of several of the highest officers of the Independent Regiment Headquarters standing on a platform made of temporary logs.
Liu Lang stood in the middle, Zhang Ruhao and Chi Dakui stood on both sides, and all the other school officers stood at the front of their troops. Whether they are going to go on the expedition or those who are going to stay, they all stand there.
Even the three green wolves and the giant panda Xiong Si sat in a queue of more than 200 people in the security office in a regular manner. They, now also have military status, are soldiers of the Independent Regiment.
And around, there are crowds of people.
Yes, today is the day when the Ministry of Military Affairs finally received an order from the Ministry of Military Affairs to send troops to all the Sichuan troops to go on the expedition, and the independent regiment that has been assigned to the 22 nd Group Army is no exception; the Guangyuan County Government that learned the news began to organize the masses to gather in the "Shuguang" town at noon yesterday, and there were more than 20,000 military families, workers' families, and the masses who spontaneously came after receiving the news.
It is slightly different from the people of Rongcheng to see them off, they want to send more than just a force to defend their homeland. The independent regiment has a special feeling for Guangyuan County. Not only did the independent regiment do nothing against the people of Guangyuan during the period when it was stationed in Guangyuan, ensuring the tranquility of the water and soil on one side, but more importantly, most of the recruits absorbed by the independent regiment came from Guangyuan.
The independent regiment, so to speak, can already be said to be their children's soldiers.
The officers and men who stood in the middle of the square with backpacks, guns, leggings, and military hats were all related to them.
Yes, the soldiers are Guangyuan people, and the officers, most of them are Guangyuan's sons-in-law, such a soldier is going to go to war, how can they not come to see them off?
There are old people with gray hair, women in green clothes, children with confused eyes tugging at the corners of their mother's clothes, and even babies who are waiting to be fed without knowing the world. For there stood the warriors who were about to go on a long journey, their sons, their husbands, and their fathers.
This send-off is the first, and perhaps, the last.
Their gaze, somewhat greedily, roamed over the faces of their loved ones, over and over again.
The square of Nuoda is quiet and solemn, and it is a little scary
His eyes were on the faces of the officers and soldiers standing in the audience, and he took a deep breath, and Liu Lang's metallic voice resounded throughout the audience.
。。。。。。。。
PS: The oath to go on the expedition is a plot that Fengyue has been thinking about for a long time, hoping to show the scenes that have happened on the land of China in front of Fengyue's pen in front of book friends, and the next chapter, Fengyue, will be written more excitingly, because Fengyue really has tears in her eyes, because Fengyue really loves this land. Also, thank you for your message of encouragement to Fengyue yesterday, thank you!
