[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 225: Battlefield Interview (Subscription Requested)

At the temporary headquarters of the Seventh Division, Ma Zheng sat in front of a huge square table in military uniform, on which was a map full of Japanese, and opposite Ma Zheng stood a man and a woman.

After coming to Ma Zheng, the male reporter took the lead and said: "Hello General Ma, I am Sui Jinguang, a war correspondent of the Central News Agency, and this is Miss Ma Li, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency. ”

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "I'm sorry to keep you two waiting for a long time, but this time because this Colonel Lu brought some confidential tasks to the commission, so let the two of you wait for so long, forgive me." ”

Colonel Lu Yunguang on the side was dumbfounded when he heard this, and secretly said that this Ma Zheng looked upright, why did he speak so badly. How can people be so shameless, black and white reversed. It was clear that he didn't believe what he said, and he had to verify with their superiors, he was deliberately wasting time, and how did it end up being mine.

However, although Lu Yunguang felt uncomfortable in his heart, he did not speak to refute it. Think about it, people are anti-Japanese heroes with heavy troops, and there are nearly 10,000 tigers under their command, and he is just a colonel with no duties and powers. The two of them are not people on the same level at all, and what people say is what they say. Now what Lu Yunguang desires most is to complete this task as soon as possible, and then stay away from this hateful Communist Party general, otherwise he will always be eaten clean in the end, leaving no dregs.

"General Ma is polite, since it is a matter of entrustment, we might as well wait! If General Ma has nothing else to do, our interview will start now, shall we? Sui Jinguang said with a smile.

"Absolutely!"

Then. Ma Zheng continued: "I think you two already knew who I was before they came here, and I didn't need to introduce myself to this place, but since you want to promote me, then I have to say a few words. I am Ma Zheng, commander of the Seventh Division of the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and I am also an honorable Communist Party member. ”

To be honest, Ma Zheng really doesn't want to be interviewed, and this era is not as advocating freedom of speech as it was later. No one listens to what is said well, and if you say something bad or say something that shouldn't be said, it will be pointed out in minutes. What's more, the party is also very strict in investigating this kind of thing, and it is not guaranteed that what he said today will become "evidence" for others to accuse him.

Is it worth it The reason why he had to ask the higher authorities for verification was also based on this, he didn't believe in Lu Yunguang's identity, and he would definitely not be an imposter if he could come here. The reason why I took off my pants and farted to verify it was because I didn't want to leave someone to handle it. In the future, even if someone says something about this matter, Ma Zheng can refute it loudly, this is a political task, and you want me to say it.

Ma Zheng's words just fell. Without waiting for Sui Jinguang and Ma Li to speak, Lu Yunguang on the side suddenly interjected: "Sir, when I came, I specially told you to be humble, and I want to be told to you, you are now a banner, an immortal banner of my Chinese nation, and an anti-Japanese hero recognized by both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so I hope that you can speak freely in the next interview." Be bold in expressing your views to inspire anti-Japanese fervor across the country. ”

Ma Zheng nodded and said, "No problem." The last thing I like is to tell lies, and if you two have anything to ask, just ask, I will know everything! ”

The first to ask a question was Sui Jinguang, a reporter from the Central News Agency, who caught everyone off guard when he saw his first question: "General Ma, I heard about your name half a year ago. It is said that the majestic and mighty army you are now leading was built by you, and neither your party nor the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army have given any support. I wonder if that's true? ”

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became a little strange, whether this guy was here to interview or to dismantle the stage, this was obviously provoking the relationship between Ma Zheng and Yan'an, and his head was kicked by a donkey, right?

Obviously, this question was also unexpected by Lu Yunguang. He also looked at the name of this Central News Agency with a surprised expression, obviously this question was not instructed from above!

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sui Jinguang immediately explained: "General Ma, I don't mean anything else, I just want to know if this unit was brought out by you alone, if so, then you must have a special method and experience in leading troops to fight, and this method and experience are also meaningful for other troops!" ”

Ma Zheng glanced at Sui Jinguang, and secretly said that although this person was just a reporter, his eyes were really vicious, and he immediately asked the point.

Immediately, Ma Zheng smiled and said: "It is biased to ask this question like this, in fact, any unit of our Eighth Route Army cannot do without the support of the party and superiors. Although our Duqi Division is a bit special, it is no exception. It can be said that without the support of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and the leaders above, we would not have been able to get to where we are now, let alone appear on the battlefield in Wuhan. ”

"What do you mean by special, so you can tell us about it?" Sui Jinguang asked again.

"Of course you can, in fact, the predecessor of our Seventh Division was the first battalion of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and I was the commander of the first battalion at that time. In October of the 26th year of the Republic of China, our department crossed the Yellow River east and entered the northwest of Shanxi Province to the forefront of the anti-Japanese resistance, because we were not familiar with the tactics of the Japanese before, and the assessment of the strength of the two sides was seriously insufficient, so in a battle, a battalion of our teaching regiment was almost completely annihilated. ”

"In this battle, our unit suffered heavy losses, and less than 100 of the more than 500 soldiers survived in the end, including my deputy battalion commander, instructor and most of the officers, and even I myself was seriously wounded and lost my memory. Pursued by the Japanese army, our troops retreated into the territory of Chahar, and lost contact with their superiors, and the situation was very miserable. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "But even so, the soldiers of our department still did not give up hope. Under extremely difficult conditions, we regained our strength by absorbing the bandits and bandits in the territory, and continuously fought against the devils, and developed ourselves while fighting the devils, and after nearly 10 months of hard fighting, it became the current scale, and it can be said that our unit climbed up step by step on the corpses of the Japanese army. ”

Speaking of this, Ma Zheng's tone suddenly became solemn, and he said very solemnly: "During this period, we also paid great sacrifices, a large number of soldiers died on the battlefield in every battle, and many people were injured, or even disabled, and there were no less than 7,000 martyrs buried in the martyrs' cemetery on Jining Tiger Mountain, and countless people were injured. ”

"But we have achieved great results, the Japanese militarist forces in the two provinces of Suicha have been repeatedly hit hard, and even their commanders have been killed by us, so our sacrifice is worth it."

As soon as Ma Zheng's words fell, Ma Li, a female reporter from Xinhua News Agency, immediately said: "Comrade Ma Zheng said very well, although the growth of the Seventh Division is inseparable from your efforts, it is definitely inseparable from the support of the Party Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters!" Especially at the ideological and spiritual level of the troops. What I want to ask is, Comrade Ma Zheng, in less than 20 days after the 7th Division went south to Wuhan, it successively inflicted heavy losses on many units of the Japanese army, including its elite 6th Division, the 101st Division, the Botian Detachment, and even a naval fleet. ”

Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "That's not what you say, our army has indeed achieved an unprecedented victory in this war, and the results are brilliant!" However, it cannot be said that the combat effectiveness of our army completely surpasses that of the Japanese army, on the contrary, in terms of pure combat effectiveness, our army is still far inferior to the main elite of the Japanese army. ”

Ma Li continued to ask: "Since our combat effectiveness is not as good as the Japanese army, why did we defeat so many Japanese troops?" As far as I know, this time the Duqi Division not only completely annihilated the Japanese Pota Detachment, but even the 101st Division was basically annihilated. (To be continued.) )
