Chapter 247: Can the Chinese Win the War?

The lunch at noon was under the grape trellis, not as rich as Ma Zheng imagined, but it looked quite light, all vegetarian, or at Ma Zheng's request, a meat dish was added.

During this time, he has been on the front line, fighting against the Japanese almost every day, and many times he eats cold and dry food on the road, and Ma Zheng's mouth has long faded out of a bird. Different from the commander of the Eighth Route Army in this era, Ma Zheng still has high requirements for food, which can be regarded as the only "problem" that Ma Zheng brought from later generations!

You must know that the Thor special combat team, as the only foreign military simulation unit in China, not only the weapons and equipment and tactical training are carried out in accordance with the top foreign special combat teams, but even the food is also in accordance with the relevant standards of foreign armies.

But since wearing back to this special era, the lack of materials has been plaguing Ma Zheng, and the food of the troops in peacetime is really flattering, of course, even the food of the Seventh Division of the Independent Division surprised the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Originally, Ma Zheng was expecting to return to Wuhan to have a good meal, so that his stomach, which had been in deficit for a few days at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, could see the meat, but the big guy in front of him was good, and all the vegetables and fruits really disappointed Ma Zheng! In desperation, Ma Zheng had no choice but to "order food" by himself, otherwise he would have to go back to the Xishan military camp hungry.

For Ma Zheng's non-fraudulent behavior, Lao Jiang and Vice Chairman Zhou both laughed loudly, and after laughing, the two of them sighed again, even Ma Zheng is a general who commands the army like this, which shows that the life of the army on the front line is indeed very hard. This may seem like an insignificant issue, but it reflects the gap in national strength between China and Japan.

Ma Zheng thought that what he should say was also said, and the meal was eaten. His mission was also completed, and he should return to the Xishan Barracks in the afternoon. But when Ma Zheng didn't expect it, Lao Jiang actually asked him to go to the Ministry of Military Affairs to give lessons to those party-state elites, and directly participate in the Zhujie dinner in the evening.

Ma Zheng knew that he couldn't shirk this, and he could only win. Fortunately, Lao Jiang told him that there was no need to talk about strategy and tactics. Just tell the generals of the army that China will not die.

When Ma Zheng came to the auditorium of the Ministry of Military Affairs, it was already full of stars, four or five hundred seats were full, and the first few rows sitting in the front were all generals, with no less than seventy or eighty people. Although they are mainly major generals, there is no shortage of lieutenant generals, and there are even two generals, one of whom is an acquaintance of Ma Zheng -- He Yingqin, minister of military affairs of the Nationalist Government.

The rest of the hundreds of people are not dispensable shrimp soldiers, and their military ranks are all above the school level. Among them, lieutenant colonels and colonels are the mainstay.

Ma Zheng was secretly surprised in his heart, but he knew that in the establishment of the national government, the chief officer at the regimental level was generally a colonel or lieutenant colonel, which means that a large part of these people in front of him were regiment commanders or regimental deputies of the Central Army.

Standing on the podium, Ma Zheng's mood was a little complicated. I didn't expect that one day he would stand in the auditorium of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government and give a lecture to these Kuomintang generals, which is really incredible.

Old Jiang means that Ma Zheng has now understood. He must have asked him, a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, to cheer up these front-line officers, just as Lao Jiang told him before, to tell these generals that China will not perish.

There was no applause, only disdain and cold eyes, and it was clear that these Kuomintang elites seemed to have quite a problem with themselves. And no wonder. How could they, who thought they wanted the Chinese Army, would ever have thought that one day they would let a mud-legged man stand in front of them and tell them what war is, what a soldier is, and how to fight!

After sorting out his thoughts, Ma Zheng said in a deep voice: "Hello everyone, there is a place to know me." There are also those who don't know me! Here I will first make a brief self-introduction, my name is Ma Zheng! Ma Zheng's horse, Ma Zheng's Zheng! Age 28, professional soldier, position Commander of the Seventh Division of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army! ”

"I'm a little scared to be able to stand here and give lectures to the generals and colonies of the Central Army, I feel that my level is not enough, because compared to everyone, I am just a mud leg who has never been to a military school, I don't know what tactics are and what strategy is, I am afraid that I can stand on the podium but I can't get off. But I still came, on the one hand, because the military order was difficult to disobey, and on the other hand, I did have something to say to everyone here. ”

"And what shall I say to you? We are soldiers, so let's talk about things related to soldiers, talk about this war that we care about! Tell us about the performance of China's defense forces in this war! ”

Suddenly, Ma Zheng's eyes were fixed on the huge blue sky and red flag in the auditorium, and his eyes unconsciously became deeper.

"The first topic, can the Chinese win the war?"

Then Ma Zheng said in a deep voice: "7 years ago, the 918 incident, China lost the three eastern provinces!" Three years ago, the North China Incident occurred, and China lost control of the entire five provinces in North China! One year ago, the Lugou Bridge Incident occurred, and we lost half of the rivers and mountains. How much room do we have to retreat, Pingjin lost us and retreated to Baoding, Baoding lost and we retreated to Taiyuan, and now Taiyuan is also lost. ”

"And in the richest south of China, Shanghai is lost, and we can retreat to Nanjing; If Nanjing is lost, we can withdraw to Wuhan and Chongqing. It seems that we have a way out, because we have a vast territory and enough strategic space! But if even Chongqing, Chengdu or Kunming in the rear are lost, then where can we still withdraw? Can any of you tell me where else we can withdraw? ”

Ma Zheng's gaze swept over all the people, and then his voice suddenly calmed down, and said: "I can't forget the day when I accepted the adaptation, many soldiers asked one after another, why do you have to wear Kuomintang uniforms to fight Japanese devils?" Yes, our two parties have been fighting for more than ten years, and each other's hands are stained with blood, how many of them will become famous by fighting a civil war and killing compatriots? At this time, we actually let us change into the military uniforms, hats, and flags of the other party in the past, and we have to listen to the other party's command to fight, many people don't understand, even including myself! ”

At this time, the Kuomintang officers heard for the first time an old Red Army soldier talk about the psychological feelings of changing clothes, and everyone's interest was attracted to Ma Zheng, and everyone wanted to hear the reaction of the Red Army at that time.

Ma Zheng didn't deliberately hang everyone's appetite, and immediately said: "If you don't understand, you won't be happy, and the soldiers are not happy, this army still has fighting spirit, and there is morale at all!" Therefore, at that time, our first task was to change our concept and first remove the ideological baggage, so that we could talk about the follow-up things. I clearly remember that Comrade Zuo Quan, then chief of staff of the Red First Army of the Red Army, told everyone in a serious manner: In order to resist Japan, what does it matter if we wear a Kuomintang hat? Everyone followed his command, took off their five-star octagonal hats, and put on this anti-Japanese hat. ”

"The flames of the all-out war of resistance were ignited, for the prosperity of the country and the **********. At the critical moment of the nation's survival, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, regardless of its previous suspicions, carried out reorganization, accepted the command of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, and quickly went to the anti-Japanese front. At the same time, the anti-Japanese national united front based on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was formally formed. 40,000,000 compatriots united under the banner of patriotism and converged into a mighty torrent of resistance against Japan. ”

"Some people say that one Chinese is a dragon, and ten Chinese are not as good as worms. It is not that our Chinese army cannot win a war, and the premise of winning a war is to get rid of the things that have nothing to do with war in our heads, unburden ourselves and go into battle lightly. In this way, you can fight with the little devil without any scruples, and you don't have to worry about who is plotting against whom, and who is stabbing in the back of whom. If these problems are not solved, even if the entire Chinese army is replaced with advanced weapons and equipment, it will be in vain, and it will still be vulnerable in front of the Japanese!
