Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fame is Irritable
On August 13, 1937, the Battle of Songhu, which lasted for three months, ended, although this battle shattered Japan's three-month rumor of annihilating China and killed and wounded more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers, but China also paid a heavy price of more than 300,000 elite troops.

In mid-December 1937, Nanjing fell, and while paying hundreds of thousands of casualties, the Japanese army committed the largest massacre in China, slaughtering 300,000 soldiers and innocent people who laid down their arms in China. The 60th Army, which had been ordered to participate in the defense of Nanjing, had already fallen as soon as it arrived in Changsha.
In the face of the successive defeats of the Chinese soldiers, the arrogant Japanese invaders put forward even harsher traitorous treaties in an attempt to force the Republic of China government to compromise under the powerful military offensive.
1. The Chinese government has made it clear that it is begging for peace with Japan.
Two: China officially accepted the puppet Manchukuo.
3. The establishment of demilitarized zones in North China and other places can allow the Japanese army to garrison troops freely.
Fourth, North China and Shanghai are jointly managed by China and Japan.
Fifth, China should accede to the Japanese army's demand for compensation.
As a weak and poor country that has signed countless traitorous treaties for a hundred years, China has finally not compromised at this moment, I think that no one will and will not agree to the harsh demands of a country that slaughtered 300,000 of our civilians in Nanjing, then at this time, the only thing that can be done is to do the best of the whole country and fight to the end against these beasts who are inferior to the Japanese invaders!
After the fall of Nanjing, the 60th Army was urgently transferred back to Wuhan to prepare to defend the temporary capital of Wuhan at that time, and the sky over Wuhan at this time was already cloudy!
The successive defeats in the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Nanjing, the large-scale army of the Japanese army that was on a rampage all the way made the Nanjing government, which was seriously ill-prepared, lose one after another, and Wuhan at this time was shrouded in a thick cloud!
The clouds of defeat in the war of resistance!
On this day, the fully loaded 60th Army got off in Wuhan and was about to enter the city of Wuhan, when the army commander Lu Han received ****** order. It reads: "Order the 60th Army to clean up the appearance, and make a circle around the city of Wuhan in a neat queue to encourage the people, and inform all sectors of society that there are still elite troops in China that have not participated in the war, and China still has the ability to fight"!
Lu Han, the commander of the army who received the order, immediately issued an order for the 60th Army to be cleaned up, and the regimental uniforms were mounted on tall horses and prepared to enter the city.
At nine o'clock in the morning, more than 35,000 troops of the 60th Army left for Wuhan, just as they had left their homeland, all dressed in military uniforms, each armed with a Belgian 79 rifle, each with an Adrian steel helmet, and carrying Burmese knives and broadswords in a neat queue into the city.
At this moment, the city of Wuhan is boiling, and what I have seen in the past few days is all kinds of defeats and all kinds of remnants of the defeated generals, and finally I saw a fully equipped army here, especially the 60th Army, the officers are vigorous, and the Hatch Chase heavy machine gun in the middle of the queue is the first time to appear in the eyes of the Chinese citizens, followed by a heavy artillery. The 60th Army marched around the entire Wuhan in a neat pace, and once again said with the spirit of the whole country that China still has the ability to fight again, and China will not die!
At this time, in the city of Wuhan, whether it was ordinary citizens who could not be panicked all day long or some government officials who had already thought of a way out, they all felt amazed at this time, saw hope, and saw this army of tigers and wolves that came from thousands of miles.
In the depths of the official residence in Wuhan, Jiang Mou, who was full of gloom, and several senior officers were bowing their heads and studying a military map hanging on the wall, when Du Yuming, who was full of joy, and a German officer walked in.
The two saluted in unison and said, "Chairman"!
"How?" Jiang asked while looking at the map.
"The 60th Army has already circled Wuhan, and the whole Wuhan is boiling, and many people, including some military and political officials, have gone to observe it, which is a great encouragement to the people's hearts." Du Yuming said happily.
"What do you think of the Sixty Army"? Jiang finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.
"Chairman of the Committee, with all due respect, the 60th Army is well-organized, has strong morale, and is well-equipped, even our Central Army is a little inferior in comparison"! Du Yuming said.
"Oh, they're really so elite again, more elite than my German mechanics"? Jiang frowned.
"Yes, in the past ten years, Long Yun has been hiding in Yunnan, using the copper minerals in Yunnan and the border with Vietnam to purchase a large number of French equipment, they have an Andrian steel helmet, each has a Belgian 79 rifle, and each squad has two Czech light machine guns, and a platoon has a Hatch Chase heavy machine gun, this heavy machine gun is equipped all over the country, not only can be used as an anti-aircraft machine gun but also as a flat-fire machine gun, with a rate of fire of 400 rounds per minute, and each of their cards is equipped with a French 82 mortar, There is a mortar artillery squad in a company, and there is even an anti-gas platoon, and our Central Army is not as fully equipped as they are"!
"And what about their officer and soldier structure"? Jiang put down the pencil in his hand and asked.
"I have carefully checked, most of the middle and lower-level officers in the 60th Army are graduates of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, many of them have participated in actual combat, and some veterans have rich combat experience from the War to the present, and Long Yun can be said to have pressed his own blood in this war of resistance"! Du Yuming said.
"The whole country is so worried that the war of resistance will not be successful, and the Zhizhou is good." Jiang said with emotion.
"Harris, what do you think"? Jiang spoke to the German military adviser on the side.
"The Dian army led by Lu Han is the pride of your China, the most powerful army, if China has such 30 divisions, then China will definitely win the final victory"! Harris said in broken Chinese.
"Chairman, the 60th Army has more than 35,000 troops compared to other armies, which is almost twice the number of other armies, do we consider classifying them as special armies to defend Wuhan and ensure that Wuhan is foolproof?" Du Yuming said.
"Yes, I'm giving them 100,000 rounds of ammunition, 500 pistols, 20 cars, and I'm giving them two regiments from here"! Jiang thought for a moment and said.
"Commission, our troops have just participated in the defense of Nanjing, and the troops have suffered heavy casualties and urgently need supplies, how can we give them back to replenish the soldiers"? Du Yuming wondered.
"I have my own arrangements for this, and at the same time you let all the officers above the brigade commander participate in the whole training, and then let Harris take his advisory group to the Sixty Army to instruct them in military technology"! Jiang said.
Du Yuming seemed to think of something, so he stood up and saluted and walked down with Harris, and Jiang picked up a pencil and continued to discuss with a few senior generals...
At this time, the 60 th Army had already been stationed in Wuhan, and it was also at today's parade that greatly boosted the military prestige of the 60 th Army, and all walks of life came to express their condolences to the 60 th Army.
On this day, the middle and upper-level senior officers of the 60th Army were naturally busy, and at this time, a young couple was ushered in in Zhang Chong's office.
This person seems to be slightly fat, but his eyes are bright, and he exudes a strong literary atmosphere that ordinary people do not have, and his wife also has short hair, kind and literary, the two of them are the famous composer Tian Han and his wife poet An E.
"Hello Master Zhang, I'm Tian Han, and this is my wife An'e!" Tian Han stretched out his hand cordially.
"Hello hello, it turned out to be a famous composer, welcome"! Zhang Chong stood up and shook hands enthusiastically.
"Division Commander Zhang and your army traveled thousands of miles from Yunnan to fight the war, and I was very moved by the hearts of the civilians, but I was only in winter clothes, and I didn't have any gifts to comfort the officers and soldiers, I'm really embarrassed!"
"Mr. Tian's name has already been heard like thunder, it is our honor that you are willing to come to visit us, I have an idea, although it is a little abrupt, but I still want to trouble Mr. Tian"! Zhang Chongdao.
"Master Zhang, you say, as long as I can do it, I am duty-bound"! Tian Han said with a smile.
"Mr. Su Zhitian is a famous composer, and our 60th Army has just been formed and there is no military song, I wonder if we can bother Mr. Tian to write a military song for us to encourage morale"? Zhang Chongdao.
"I really thought of going with Division Commander Zhang, after seeing the military appearance of your 60th Army this morning, I have already written a military song for you, Division Commander Zhang, please take a look." As he spoke, Tian Han handed over a piece of letterhead, only to see that there was a clear score on it, and Zhang Chong couldn't understand it, but the lyrics under the score were deeply attracted to him.
We come from the great place of the Yunnan uprising,
After walking through the mountains and mountains to the battlefield of resisting the enemy,
The brethren fought for the liberation of the nation with their flesh and blood.
Carry forward the glory of Yasukuni and protecting the country.
We must not allow the enemy to run rampant in our land,
We cannot allow enemy planes to soar in our airspace,
Yunnan is the hometown of the 60th Army,
The 60th Army is the armed force to defend China!
Yunnan is the hometown of the 60th Army,
The 60th Army is the armed force to defend China!
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Zhang Chong said three good words in a row and continued: "Mr. Tian's military song is really well written, I will let them send it down to teach the officers and soldiers to sing it!"
"This task is up to me and my lover, let's teach them to sing in person, what does Master Zhang think"? Tian Han said.
"Well, I don't know what to say about such a gift!"
"Where is Master Zhang, you have worked tirelessly and traveled thousands of miles to resist the war and defend the country, what can I count as a literati, I will go down to teach them military songs, what do you think"?
"Okay, I'll take you there myself"! With that, Zhang Chong got up and led the way, and took Tian Han and An E towards the station.
At the same time, a women's service group of more than 500 people in the distance was coming on foot from Kunming, and at the back of the team, Qiao Miao was also wearing a military uniform, and followed the team with great difficulty, carrying out this long march!
