Chapter 839 918? ９１８！

Just when the Japanese Red Army was struggling, the Chinese government finally decided to take action!

More than two divisions began to assemble secretly, under the unified command of Lieutenant General Wang Mingzhang, and the third detachment of the Chinese Navy cooperated in the operation. "Domain Names - Familiar to Everyone"

Action Codename: Gou Jian!

In ancient China, Goujian, the king of Yue, was defeated by the state of Wu, and Goujian tried his courage and finally destroyed the state of Wu.

In the Manchu era, China was defeated by Japan, and China tasted its courage, and now, it is time for revenge!

All previous wars against Japan were waged in China. Now, it's time to bring the flames of war to Japan!

Action Codename: Gou Jian! Date of Action:

The 23rd year of the Republic of China, September 18, 1934!

This date was set by Wang Hengyue, the president of the Republic of China, and in the eyes of the action-makers, this is just an ordinary day, but in Wang Hengyue's view, this date has a special meaning.

Nine-one-eight? Nine-one-eight!

On September 18th, whether it was in Wang Hengyue's previous life or in this life, he could not forget this day; September 18th may not matter to others, but it is too important a day for Wang Hengyue!

Prior to this, President Wang Hengyue behaved a little strangely, not only did he personally set the date of the operation, but he also inexplicably invited Colonel Zhang Xueliang, the son of General Zhang Zuolin and the first staff officer of the War Room of the Ministry of National Affairs, to have a meal.

At that time, Zhang Xueliang was watching a play, and when he heard the news that the president suddenly wanted to invite him to dinner, he was a little surprised, and he didn't understand what it meant.

However, the president invited himself to dinner, which was also a very face-saving thing, and Zhang Xueliang solemnly went to the banquet.

I thought that the president had something special to do for him, but what I didn't expect was that it was just a simple meal. Halfway through eating, Wang Hengyue suddenly said:

"Hanqing, we are ready to make a move against the Japanese on September 18th."

"Ah, I see, the Ministry of Defense has been busy with this recently." Zhang Xueliang hurriedly put down his chopsticks and responded: "My father is also going to go on the expedition later, I originally wanted to go, but the Ministry of Defense is also very busy, so I stayed in Nanjing." ”

Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Han Qing, do you know why I have to choose September 18?" ”

Zhang Xueliang shook his head blankly.

The smile on Wang Hengyue's face was very strange: "Because this day has a special meaning for me, this day is nothing in the eyes of others, but it is not simple in my eyes."

Zhang Xueliang still didn't understand at all.

"It's good if you don't understand, it's good if you don't understand." Wang Hengyue smiled and poured Zhang Xueliang's wine glass full of wine: "It's better not to understand some things."

Looking at the president's smiling face, Zhang Xueliang muttered in his heart, what's wrong with the president today?

Wang Hengyue put down the cup: "I heard that you are watching a play?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xueliang did not deny that this is his greatest hobby.

"It's good to watch the play, it's good to watch the play, don't take September 18 to heart." Wang Hengyue laughed.

Zhang Xueliang is really confused.

Listening to the words of the great president, it seems that he is secretly mocking himself for something. Everyone knows that although he is in the name of a colonel's staff officer, he doesn't have to take care of anything in the war room, he reports every day, and his biggest hobby is watching plays. Peking Opera is not popular in Nanjing, and if you want to find a good one, you have to make great efforts.

can look at the president's bright and cheerful appearance when he laughs, but it is from the heart, and he is not laughing at himself

Wang Hengyue smiled on his face, but sighed in his heart. Young marshal, young marshal, ninety-one-eight, ninety-one-eight! If you don't fight, I do! …,

Seeing that he had almost eaten, Wang Hengyue suddenly asked, "There is a good opera garden in Nanjing?" ”

"President, you don't know that." Speaking of this, Zhang Xueliang suddenly came to the god of jīng: "If you want to say that in Nanjing, Peking Opera is not popular, but this time the whole city of Nanjing is a sensation, why?" Because there is a Peking Opera big horn! ”

"Oh, who is it?" Wang Hengyue asked casually.

"Master Yiyixuan, Boss Mei Lan Fangmei!"

"Oh!" Wang Hengyue was taken aback: "Boss Mei is coming to Nanjing?" ”

"yes, it's coming!" Zhang Xueliang said with great interest: "I have been warming up for Mr. Mei for the past two days, and I will be Boss Mei tonight!" ”

Wang Hengyue's fingers buckled a few times on the table: "Han Qing, I invite you to dinner, how about you invite me to watch the play?" ”

"The president wants to see a play?" Zhang Xueliang only thinks that there are too many strange things today, as we all know, the president is a big layman to Peking Opera, and he basically doesn't watch it, and the only one who can sing "Empty City Plan" is still singing miserably. Where did you get such good interest today?

But the president asked him to watch the play, but it was unprecedented. Zhang Xueliang agreed at that time, thinking that he would prepare a seat for the president, but he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly left the arrangement.

"Heng Shuai, everything is in order." Zhang Xueliang walked on the front foot, and Zhang Xiaohuai, the chief of national defense, and Jiang Baili, the chief of staff who had just returned to China, walked in: "The front-line soldiers have entered the attack posture and can attack at any time. ”

"Well, that's bound to surprise the world." Wang Hengyue smiled coldly: "The attack will start at 0:00 in the morning on September 18!" ”

"Yes! The attack began at 0:00 on 18 September. ”

The smile returned to Wang Hengyue's face: "Yunnong, Baili, go, I invite you to watch the play!" Mei Lan Fangmei's boss play! ”

"Where are we free?" Zhang Xiaohuai hurriedly prevaricated: "The attack will start in a few hours"

"The front hits the front, and the back goes to the back to watch the play." Wang Hengyue couldn't say anything, and walked out with one in one hand: "To fight a small Kyushu, do you still need to bother so much with the two chiefs?" If a world war breaks out in the future, won't it be so tiring that you will vomit blood? Let's go, if Boss Mei's play is missed, there will be no more. ”

Zhang Xiaohuai and Jiang Baili were pulled out by Wang Hengyue, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

This Heng Shuai doesn't know where the interest comes from, he usually never listens to the play, why does he want to listen to Boss Mei's play inexplicably today?

And it was at such an important time

The 3rd Army Corps of the Chinese Defense Forces.

"Report to the commander, all my troops are ready for landing!"

On the "Hongwu", the flagship of the Third Fleet, Wang Mingzhang poured himself a cup of tea and arched his hand towards Chen Ce, the commander of the Third Fleet: "Chief Chen, whether our infantry can land successfully depends on your navy. ”

Chen Ce smiled: "Since I followed Heng Shuai, I have been waiting for this day all the time, how fast it is to land on the Japanese mainland!" Our naval fleet will be able to cover the successful landing of our army brothers! ”

Bai Chongxi stood up with a smile and turned on the gramophone, and the singing of "Dingjun Mountain" came from inside

"President, Chief Zhang, General Jiang is here."

As soon as he heard this whispered report, Zhang Xueliang was taken aback, he originally thought that there would only be a big president, but who would have thought that the two chief ministers would also arrive at the same time!

Before he could react, Wang Hengyue, Zhang Xiaohuai, and Jiang Baili had already walked in in civilian clothes.

"Big"

As soon as the word "big" came out, Wang Hengyue had already waved his hand: "Call me big boss, the safety of the two chief executives still needs to be paid attention to." ”

"Yes, Big Boss." Zhang Xueliang invited a few people to sit down and pointed to the opposite stage: "Now I am on the field, and it will be Boss Mei's play in a while!" This Boss Mei's play is not something that can be seen casually in the south, this time it was originally performed in Shanghai, and he was invited to Nanjing! ”…,

"Boss Mei's drama has always been very popular in Shanghai and Nanjing." Zhang Xiaohuai is very knowledgeable: "In 1913, he went to Shanghai for the first time to perform, and performed "Cai Lou Pei", "Yù Tang Cūn", "Mu Ke Zhai" and other plays on the first stage of Dangui at the Daxin intersection of Sima Road. In the second year, he came to Shanghai again and performed "Five Ādòng", "True and False Pan Jinlian", "The Drunken Concubine" and other masterpieces, and sang for 34 consecutive days. ”

"That's remarkable." Wang Hengyue nodded again and again and exclaimed: "Actually, I'm ashamed, this quintessence of Peking Opera needs to be protected, but I have always ignored this part in the past."

A few people on the side are very strange, what does Peking Opera want to protect? Who has two spare money in their hands and doesn't want to go to the theater garden to listen to a play?

Jiang Baili took a sip of the tea bowl: "Boss Mei is not only popular in China, but also abroad. In February 1930, Mei and his troupe staged Peking Opera at the 49th Street Theater in New York, and due to its unprecedented popularity, the performance was extended from two to five weeks as planned, and was moved to the larger National Theater in Manhattan, which could accommodate 1,000 people. ”。 The best seats were sold out ten days before the show, his events and welcome banquets were published in the newspapers every day, his costumes were displayed in department stores, and a kind of āhui was named after him. It's an amazing achievement. ”

While they were chatting there, a loud cheer interrupted the conversation of several people.

Mr. Mei Lanfang's play is about to be staged.

Several of the most senior dignitaries of the Republic of China immediately stopped talking and turned all their attention to the stage

"Order, ships ready!"

"Ships ready!"

"All soldiers board, all soldiers board!"

"Embark the ship, board the ship!"

Bursts of cheers came from the play, and the audience seemed to be crazy, dedicating the warmest and most fervent applause and cheers to Mei Lanfang, who was about to appear.

The show is about to be staged!
