Chapter 1 The Great Bombing
The 49th Group Army successfully recaptured the ice city of Harbin, and the whole country was shocked, and the whole world was shocked! After the news reached the capital, the chairman of the committee convened an emergency meeting overnight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info meeting lasted all night, and early the next morning, the chairman of the NPC National Committee and all the first-level generals who remained in the capital jointly held a press conference for Chinese and foreign reporters.
At the reception, the chairman solemnly announced to reporters from all over the world: Harbin, the northern ice city, has been officially recovered by the national army! Our National Revolutionary Army has won the most important victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan!
In order to commend the meritorious soldiers, the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee announced in front of reporters from all over the world: Because the commander-in-chief of the 49th Group Army, General Ren Laifeng, has commanded and used troops in a good way, has recovered the famous city, and has been awarded special meritorious service, he has been specially promoted to the rank of second-class general of the National Revolutionary Army!
Originally, as long as there were generals who had made special contributions, the chairman would recruit them to Beijing to report on their work and personally receive them. The first is to get to know his character and temperament through meetings, and the second is to take the opportunity to win over him, so as to show that the chairman is amiable and approachable. Ren Laifeng is now dominant in the northeast, and he can even take Harbin, so of course the chairman of the committee is like meeting this general.
When the two met, Ren Laifeng even proposed to the chairman of the committee that he should use 10,000 heavy machine guns to protect Chongqing in Chongqing. Although this proposal was not approved for various reasons, Ren Laifeng undoubtedly left an impression on the chairman's mind.
Now let's compare, okay, it's still the same Ren Laifeng! "Quick, send a telegram!" The chairman of the committee instructed his confidential secretary, "Give the 49th Group Army in the northeast a wind and order him to return to the capital to report on his work!" Time, within six months. ”
When he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he was given a six-month time limit, which shows the chairman's concern for Ren Laifeng. Fu Zuoyi was not close to Chongqing in Sui, and the chairman gave Commander-in-Chief Fu only half a month to report on his work in Beijing. It has become half a year when he arrives here, and Fu Zuoyi doesn't know what he will think if he knows about it.
The time limit for Ren Laifeng to go to Chongqing was long, but the telegram from Chongqing to Harbin arrived in the blink of an eye. Therefore, almost as soon as Ren Laifeng visited the city government, Chongqing's commendation telegram arrived. The confidential officer did not dare to delay for a moment, and took the telegram and handed it to the commander-in-chief. Ren Laifeng took the telegram and hurriedly read it, he looked up to the sky and laughed, he was too proud.
When the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee holds a press conference for the whole world, it is natural that Japanese journalists will be able to attend it. The full text of the chairman's speech at the news conference was sent back to China by Japanese reporters via airwaves. The Japanese government and the opposition were shocked, and the emperor was furious!
Japan's Showa Emperor Hirohito received the news on the same day that he received the news with Hideki Tojo, who was the prime minister of Japan at the time. It is said that Hirohito was quite emotional that day, and he actually scolded Tojo for an unprecedented time. Scared a Tojo Hideki so much that he crawled to the ground and kowtowed again and again, not even daring to defend himself.
When it was over, the emperor told Hideki Tojo to order the Kwantung Army to immediately recover Harbin, and the international community must not let the international community doubt the combat capability of the Imperial Japanese Army!
Hideki Tojo himself was scared half to death, and of course he wouldn't give those people in the War Department any good looks. Prime Minister Hideki Tojo is also the Minister of War, so it is not wrong to say that his current cabinet is called a military cabinet.
After Tojo Hideki returned, he angrily scolded the officials of the War Department, and then passed the emperor's edict to the commander of the Kwantung Army in northeast China, Umezu Mijiro: The emperor asked you to take Harbin back quickly. Umezu, if you old boy is lazy and donkey, don't blame your buddy for not giving you face!
Umezu Mijiro was also scared when he saw Hideki Tojo's telegram. Recapture Harbin, that's that easy? But Umezu Mijiro also knew that the emperor's edict had been issued, and he didn't dare to delay it even if he wanted to. It takes time to deploy a large number of infantry divisions, or the air force is coming quickly. So, Umezu Mijiro ordered the aviation to go out and bomb Harbin!
Umezu Mijiro gave the order, and the devil plane went out like a fly that smelled blood. Hundreds of planes flew into the sky over Harbin, blocking out the sun's rays. During that time, there were always devil planes in the sky of Harbin lined up to dive and bomb. The explosions sounded from morning to night, wave after wave, round after round.
Dodging bombing during the day and going to disaster relief at night, Harbin enjoyed the treatment of accompanying the capital Chongqing. Ren Laifeng hid in the basement all day long, planning the future situation in the northeast, and as soon as it was dark, he ordered his troops to help citizens rescue property and rescue the wounded.
The continuous high-intensity and large-scale saturation bombing brought great disasters to the citizens of Ice City. Ren Laifeng went out to participate in the disaster relief every night, and when he saw the ruins and dead and injured everywhere after the bombing, the depression and anger in his heart can be imagined.
Ren Laifeng had already transferred all the heavy machine guns of the group army into the city and placed them in various key positions in the city for air defense. But without air supremacy, the air defense force composed of heavy machine guns alone obviously did not have much deterrent effect on the rampant Japanese planes.
The plane is a steel monster in the sky, and when it falls to the ground, it is a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron. If we don't have planes, we can't strike at devils in the sky. But devil planes always have to land, right? Let's find his airport and blow up the plane for him, what else do you expect from the little devil? Ren Laifeng secretly made up his mind.
Looking at the watch, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark outside. Ren Laifeng greeted Xizi, Niu Hei, Huang Guojin, and Xiao Kuaishou and walked out of the basement. Let's go, let's go back to disaster relief tonight. Ren Laifeng transferred two trucks, one loaded with relief food, and the other with several doctors sitting on it.
Two trucks lined up one after the other and left the barracks. Ren Laifeng sat on the front truck, looking out through the window. Outside, there are bombed-out houses everywhere, and every now and then you can find a mutilated corpse on the street.
"Crunch!" The truck braked suddenly, and Ren Li almost fell headlong into the front windshield. Fortunately, the experienced driver stretched out his arm to block him, which did not cause any irreparable accidents.
Ren Laifeng pulled the door and got out of the car, and there was a bombed corpse and a crying child in front of the car. The child was about three or four years old, and it was his mother who was killed. One of my mother's arms was blown off, and there was a hole in her abdomen the size of a sea bowl.
The child sat beside his mother and cried, and kept pushing his mother with his little hands. He probably wanted to wake up his sleeping mother.
Ren Laifeng's nose was sour, and he went over and picked up the child, who cried even more fiercely, and struggled hard. Apparently he was unhappy with the stranger's move of taking him away from his mother.
