The name "Chinese Expeditionary Force" was already famous as early as when the Expeditionary Force was still fighting in the Pacific theater...... In fact, it should be said that it is more "famous" here, because this reputation is transmitted to China from abroad. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This reputation was no exception even in the Japanese-occupied state of Manchuria.

Of course, it is easier to spread in the area controlled by President Chiang, and he can use newspapers, radio stations, etc. to disseminate in large quantities, but it is relatively difficult to spread within the enemy-occupied area.

But difficulty does not mean that it cannot be spread, on the contrary, the more controlled the speech is, the faster it spreads, and it is superb...... This is mainly because in the enemy-occupied areas, including the puppet Manchukuo, the common people live under the oppression of the Japanese army and the puppet army, and they urgently need some kind of spiritual support to support their survival.

This is one of the reasons why the people in ancient China suffered more and more, and the more religion flourished...... The people are so miserable that they can't live and can't see hope, so they need a spiritual pillar to explain that they continue to live, such as "suffering in this life and enjoying happiness in the next life" or "suffering in this life is to repay the debt of the previous life" and so on, otherwise they will naturally choose to go to extremes when they suffer to a certain extent.

One of the ways to "go to extremes" is to rebel...... Rather than starve to death or be oppressed by officials and gentry to death, it is better to take up arms and give it a go, at least before death, so that those corrupt officials and corrupt officials will not have a good life.

As a result, the ruling class often actively advocates the people to adopt religion, which will invisibly increase the people's tolerance and reduce the frequency of "rebellions", and of course will consolidate the ruling class's dominant position.

This is why there is such a phenomenon in modern China...... The weaker the closed area, the more serious the feudal superstition is, and as the life gets better and the cultural level is higher and higher, the feudal superstitious people will decrease in progression.

It is precisely because of this that many people on the Internet say that Chinese have no faith, and one of the arguments is that most Chinese are atheists.

Actually, religion is like what I said above...... On the one hand, it can be said that it is a tool used by the ruling class to rule the people and brainwash the people. On the other hand, it is used to fill the emptiness in the heart and become a spiritual pillar.

If you look at it the other way around, if your heart is strong enough and your heart is not empty, you don't need to use religion to support it.

It is true that most Chinese are atheists, but this does not mean that Chinese do not have faith.

On the contrary, Chinese not only have faith, but this faith is much stronger than that of foreigners...... This belief is Chinese culture.

When foreigners encounter a certain difficulty or some kind of setback, the first thing that comes to mind is God or a god they believe in.

What about the Chinese?

At this time, most of them think not of God, but the thoughts of a famous person in Chinese culture, or a certain idiom or allusion...... For example, "etiquette, righteousness and shame", such as "dripping water through stones", and then "three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu" and so on.

These idioms and allusions are the accumulation of 5,000 years of Chinese culture, which represents the practices and behavioral norms or self-explanatory of the ancestors in the face of difficulties over the past 5,000 years, which are all done by the ancestors and are considered to be effective and useful.

Therefore, it can also be said that the Chinese believe in practice, something that is real and proven to be valid and possible, rather than some illusory god. When every Chinese learns Chinese culture, they are imperceptibly learning and absorbing the experience of the ancients. With such a strong culture, of course, there is no need for religion to support it.

Straight to the point.

Although the achievements of the "Chinese Expeditionary Force" were blocked by the Japanese puppet army in the enemy-occupied area, it was inevitably brought into the enemy-occupied area by President Chiang's intelligence personnel and other mobile personnel, and through word of mouth, it became more and more exaggerated under this word of mouth...... Later, there was even a version that the "Chinese Expeditionary Force" was all invulnerable (at that time, many Chinese people believed this, and the Boxers promoted "invulnerability" to enhance cohesion).

In other words, to a certain extent, the people in the enemy-occupied areas actually regard the "Chinese Expeditionary Force" as their belief to support their survival.

This is also the reason why when Zhang Chi showed the name of "Chinese Expeditionary Force", the people were so excited that they burst into tears.

In fact, Zhang Chi is not deeply touched because he has always been in the front...... The offensive sequence of the expeditionary force was that the second regiment was the vanguard, the first regiment followed closely, and Zhang Chi was in the first regiment.

These two regiments hardly stopped advancing along the way, and the people of the places they passed through had actually been liberated, but the people themselves did not know it...... All this came too quickly, there was no news yesterday, and today the world suddenly changed dramatically, and the people have not come back to their senses in a hurry.

But...... It's not the same in the Luda area. (Note: Luda is the joint name of Lushun and Dalian, and it was renamed Dalian City in 81 years, and China's Luda-class destroyer was named after it)

The Luda area was already occupied by the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the early hours of the morning, and then ...... The 3rd Regiment was actively stationed in Lushun and Dalian, and at the same time, the 50th Division landed in Port Arthur shortly after, and the 50th Division landed with a large number of supplies.

The task of the 50th Division was to follow the footsteps of the 1st and 2nd Regiments and garrison them along the railways and highways and ensure the smooth flow of the railways and highways...... This is to ensure the logistical supply of the "blitzkrieg", you must know that the road and railway were taken by the expeditionary force, but the road is full of stragglers of the Japanese puppet army, and the Chinese troops cannot spend too much time chasing them in order to achieve the effect of the "blitzkrieg".

If the roads and railways were not protected by troops, the logistics would easily be cut off by the Japanese puppet army, and this "blitzkrieg" would not be able to be fought.

At the same time, the three regiments stationed in the brigade area carried out propaganda and clean-up work in the brigade area...... In terms of propaganda, it is easy to say that they go to the streets and alleys to put up slogans and distribute leaflets, telling the people that the Chinese Expeditionary Force will protect the safety of the people, and let the people assist the expeditionary force in fighting the enemy together, and so on.

The purge work was to arrest the remnants of the Japanese puppet army and all the Japanese in Luda...... As mentioned before, Japan actively immigrated from Benshi to the so-called "pioneer group" to China, and at this time there was already a considerable proportion in the northeast, especially in the Luda area...... There are only 1 million people in the entire brigade area, and there are 200,000 Japanese immigrants, and an average of one in five is Japanese.

The presence of these Japanese will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble to the Chinese Expeditionary Force, such as they will consciously provide intelligence or sabotage for the Japanese army, so the first thing the Expeditionary Force will do when they are stationed is to control these people.
