Chapter 1033: Hold on to your gun

After the puppet Manchurian government arrested 19 Russian employees of the eastern section of the China Eastern Railway on 14 August, the Japanese Government and the Kwantung Army turned a deaf ear to the Russian Government's warnings for negotiations and forcibly arrested nine Russian managers and technical employees again on 23 August.

At half past ten o'clock in the evening of the announcement of the Russian government, three Japanese lieutenants entered the Russian jewelry store in Guxiang Hutong, Xiangfang Street, Harbin, drunkenly, and brutally killed the Russian shopkeeper who had packed his bags and planned to return to China the next day, raped and killed the shopkeeper's newlywed wife, and looted all the cash and jewelry. When many Russian expatriates rushed out of their homes to come to the rescue, the three Japanese lieutenants had already disappeared into the night, without a trace.

This barbaric and bloody atrocity aroused the incomparable anger of the Russian consulate and the overseas Chinese, but a large number of puppet Manchurian policemen who rushed to the scene after hearing the news immediately launched a ruthless crackdown under the command of the Japanese instructors on the grounds that the Russians were trying to gather a crowd to make trouble at the instigation of the Russians, and once again caused two serious injuries and dozens of minor injuries.

On the morning of the next day, the puppet Manchurian government announced in a high-profile manner that this fact was a bitter plan that had been planned by Russia for a long time, a challenge to the dignity of the puppet Manchukuo, and a major conspiracy to resist Japan.

The Japanese Military Police Command took the lead in issuing a proclamation to refute the rumors, claiming that none of the Japanese military units stationed in Harbin had left the barracks yesterday night, and that this barbaric incident was in fact an attempt by some group or organization with ulterior motives to provoke contradictions between the puppet Manchukuo and between Japan and Russia, and that the Japanese military intelligence organs would promptly investigate and investigate it. At the same time, the Japanese Kwantung Army solemnly warned the Russian Government and the overseas Chinese that the Japanese and Manchurian governments and armies would never tolerate any communist forces living in Manchukuo, and that any hostility and resistance to the Japanese and Manchurian governments and armies would eventually lead to their own destruction.

Relations between Japan and Russia deteriorated sharply in an instant, and the thunderous Stalin and the Russian government mobilized heavy troops to distribute them along the Sino-Russian border as quickly as possible, and tens of thousands of Russian expatriates panicked and fled to the northeast one after another, and the situation on the border of Heilongjiang was in a state of imminent war.

When the news came, Chiang Kai-shek's spirit was greatly boosted, and he never imagined that three days ago, he had just been discussing with An Yi all night to discuss the adjustment of Sino-Russian relations and the situation in the northeast, and three days later immediately came news so favorable to his side.

After some urgent discussions, Chiang Kai-shek once again adopted An Yi's opinion - ordering the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to issue a proclamation strongly condemning the barbaric atrocities of the Japanese army, reminding the Chinese people from all walks of life in the three eastern provinces to be vigilant, and if the Japanese persecution was too great, they could go south on their own, and the Republic of China government would properly resettle them.

After doing what needs to be done, all that remains is to wait with peace of mind, wait and see what happens, and strictly guard against the framing of the Japanese and the puppet Manchurian authorities.

Chiang Kai-shek suddenly thought of something, stared at An Yi's eyes for a long time with deep meaning, and looked at An Yi inexplicably, before he asked in a low voice: "How is the situation of Zhao Rui's fourth hall in the northeast's intelligence station?" ”

An Yi was secretly surprised in his heart, admiring Chiang Kai-shek's sensitive, meticulous and open-minded thinking, but his face was very serious, as if he was quite puzzled:

"The fourth hall has long been out of intelligence stations in the northeast! Soon after the divisions under the command of the students withdrew from North China, the Fourth Department also canceled the efforts to continue to keep the intelligence stations in the northeast, and the original several intelligence stations in the three eastern provinces were all personally responsible for General Yang Jiuxiao...... Hey? Why do you suddenly ask about this? Didn't the principal suspect that the fourth hall of the students was provoking the matter? ”

"It's good if it's not, intelligence work must not be left to chance, especially in the Japanese-occupied areas, we must be cautious in everything we do, and we must not do stupid things that draw tigers and become anti-dogs!"

After Chiang Kai-shek finished admonishing, he showed a smile of relief: "I called you back today, there is another important matter, your teacher, General Wenbai, is entrusted by the instructor corps of the Lushan Training Corps, and I hope you will give a speech to the more than 2,000 officers of various armies who have been trained in this period, and this batch of officers will graduate and go down the mountain tomorrow." You are eloquent, practical and theoretical, and the teachers and students of Lu University and the Central Military Academy have always liked to listen to your lectures. Again, most of the officers trained in this issue are middle and low-level officers, and everyone admires you, a general who has worked all the way from the commander of an engineer company, and regards you as a model for learning. ”

An Yi was surprised: "Headmaster, this ...... Can you not go? The students were busy with disaster relief all day, and they hadn't led troops to fight for a long time, and they didn't know what to say for a while, so they simply didn't say anything. ”

"No, you must go, tonight!"

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he didn't allow An Yi to distinguish between them, so he called the attendant officer and asked him to prepare more meals.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the playground of the training regiment under the peak of the pen was brightly lit, and more than 2,000 trained officers were waiting in a neat line in the battalion.

As the auditorium was still under intense construction, the Logistics Office of the Officers' Training Corps had set up a huge and sturdy review stand near the foot of the mountain, with the tall square colored doors of the review stand covered with freshly picked pine branches, and two large flags shining in the bright light.

He Jinhan, who had already become the head of the political training department of the Central Military System, saw Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi striding forward surrounded by a group of generals, and immediately trotted forward with Ye Chuling and more than a dozen other chief instructors, saluted and reported to him, greeted Chiang Kai-shek and An Yi and his entourage to the rostrum, asked Chiang Kai-shek for a little instructions, and then took on the task of presiding over tonight's grand meeting.

"Obey Chairman Chiang!"

"Exterminate all evil bandits!"

"Complete the National Revolution!"

After nearly 3,000 students finished shouting slogans, He Jinhan, who was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, stretched his hands forward and made a downward gesture, and the audience immediately fell silent.

He Jinhan turned sideways with a smile: "Comrades, today, we are fortunate to invite General An Yi, deputy chief of staff, director of the Syrian government camp, and deputy director of the National Disaster Relief Committee, to give us a speech. General An has been running around the grassroots level in various localities for many years, and not only brilliantly commanded the War of Resistance in Shanghai at the beginning of 32, the War of Resistance in North China last year, and the War of Resistance in Western Yunnan this year, but also commanded five divisions of the 24 th Army and the 44 th Army of our army, which have glorious traditions, in the second half of last year.

"Today, General An Yi squeezed out time in his busy schedule to catch up with Lushan and give a speech to the comrades who are about to graduate this year and will go to the front line tomorrow to make contributions to the suppression of bandits. Comrades, let us welcome General An with warm applause! ”

The audience applauded thunderously, An Yi, who was sitting next to Chiang Kai-shek in the front row of the rostrum, could only stand up, walked to the front of the stage in the smile of the generals on the stage, and saluted each other with He Jinhan, and then approached the podium, looked at the pair of eager admiration eyes under the stage, secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, groaned slightly, and said loudly at the microphone: "General He Jinhan's praise for me just now was a little too much, which made me a little embarrassed......

The officers in the audience were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

An Yi smiled and continued: "Everyone may know that General He Jinhan is one of my most respected senior brothers, and when I was studying in Huangpu, he was the one who taught me earnestly, and he can be regarded as my mentor and friend. ”

The audience burst into laughter, thinking that An Yi was so interesting and approachable, without the slightest bit of superiority, and more than 2,000 young officers applauded warmly, laughed heartily, and clapped their hands red after a long and warm applause.

In front of the public, Chiang Kai-shek, who had always looked grim, couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, he suddenly remembered the humorous scene of An Yi at the Whampoa Military Academy party, and the object of ridicule was He Jinhan.

Zhang Zhizhong, who remembered this incident on the rostrum, and the old instructors of the Whampoa Military Academy also laughed, and He Jinhan, who was standing at the very edge of the front row of the rostrum, had a smile on his face, but he was scolding his mother in his heart, thinking An Yi, your grandson, don't mess around tonight.

The twelve foreign affairs advisers on the rostrum couldn't understand Chinese, and even if they could understand it, they couldn't comprehend the many meanings contained in An Yi's words, so they asked again and again what was going on with the translator on the side? Why is the response of An Yi's few words so enthusiastic? The interpreter knew how to convey the complex meaning, and in the midst of the laughter and warm applause of the audience, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and couldn't get the word out.

An Yi waited for everyone to quiet down, quickly put away his smile, and said extremely seriously: "Everyone, get down to business!" Because the time was too hasty, I took the stage without any preparation, so I temporarily remembered what I was going to talk about today, which may not have much to do with military operations, but it has an extremely close connection with the military itself. The topic I want to talk about today is: Who are our enemies? Who are our friends? ”

An Yi paused slightly, glanced around the audience, and then said: "Who is our enemy, this question seems to be very easy to understand, not to mention far away, let's just say that in the northeast that fell after 918, the Japanese invaders who occupied our sacred land are our enemies, the puppet Manchurian puppet emperor Pu Yi and his traitors and traitors who have forgotten their roots are our enemies, and all the reactionary forces that hinder the development of the revolutionary cause are our enemies!"

"Although this question is obvious, it is also very complicated, but the enemy is the enemy after all, and it is easy to recognize. I want to emphasize, who are our friends? Ladies and gentlemen, can anyone answer? Apart from our National Revolutionary Army, is there any military bloc or even any country that is a friend on the road of the revolutionary cause for which we are fighting and shedding our blood? ”

Hearing An Yi's question, there was no more noise in the audience, and countless people secretly asked themselves in their hearts: Who is our friend? Who are China's friends?

Chiang Kai-shek and the generals seated on the rostrum also showed a solemn expression.

After a pause, An Yi spoke again, he started from the First Opium War, to the Western Yunnan War and the military exercises being held by the Japanese invaders in North China, and the soldiers in the audience were full of grief and indignation, and then began to make a final summary:

“…… Looking at the whole country and even the whole world, we have not had a single friend, and since the day the National Revolutionary Army was founded, we have been in an arduous and outstanding situation, and it is the hard work of countless revolutionaries and revolutionary martyrs, including our revolutionary soldiers, that has led to today's rare and commendable situation.

"I think there is only one reason for this, because our troubled country has just begun to awaken, we have been in a poor and backward situation, to put it mildly, we are like a poor beggar sitting on countless treasures, the rich naturally disdain to make friends with us, on the contrary, they still covet our vast land, always use all means to oppress and plunder us, not to mention our treasures, and repeatedly insult our personality, trample on our dignity and occupy our land, Delusional enslavement of our ancient people for generations.

"It is precisely because we are poor and backward that we have not been able to fight back after being beaten, and many people have lost even the least confidence in the struggle, just like the Ryukyus and Taiwan, which no longer have riots and uprisings and obey the Japanese government, and the numb people in the northeast who have not moved south, and even more, some of them have become traitors who help and abet the abuse."

The atmosphere in the venue was so depressing, and the eyes of the audience were spewing out of hatred and anger, but the generals on the stage were wondering what An Yi meant by saying this.

An Yi puffed up his chest and said loudly, "So, what should we do?" How can we solve this situation of internal and external troubles, and how can we truly stand up and declare our personality and dignity to the world? Rely on virtue to repay grievances or convince people with reason? By giving in everywhere or by the conscience of the robbers?

"No, none of that! Relying on anyone is wishful thinking, only relying on ourselves, relying on the steel gun in our hands, relying on our will and blood, and relying on the unyielding soul in the blood of our Chinese nation!

"Comrades, from today on, from now on, hold your guns tightly, polish your knives, you are revolutionary soldiers, you shoulder the hope and trust of the people of the whole country, the interests of the country and the dignity of the nation, your swords and guns are your friends, your comrades-in-arms are your brothers who share the same hatred and weal and woe, and the people of the whole country are your relatives, and fight for the rejuvenation of the country and the nation!"

Speaking of this, An Yi took a step back and saluted upright, and the audience applauded thunderously and roared angrily.
