"Boom, boom!"

Before Zhou Hexuan's truck entered the city, 18 Japanese planes flew in and bombed the urban area of Guangzhou indiscriminately.

"Get off, get off!"

"Duck in the grass and stay away from the car!"

"Don't run on your feet!"

Sun Yongzhen, Zhu Guozhen and Min Zhou, who were in charge of protecting safety, shouted loudly, escorting Zhou Hexuan and the two women to get out of the car in a hurry. The people on the highway also hugged their heads and screamed, and Zhou Hexuan even heard a child crying and looking for his mother.

Fortunately, the target of the enemy planes was inside the city, and after dropping nearly 100 heavy bombs, they swaggered away.

Zhou Hexuan stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "Go to the special little Japan, it's endless, I have been bombed twice a day!" ”

Next to him, there was a local who was hiding from the bombing together, wearing silk and looking quite generous, and he said in difficult Chinese: "Choose a seat Xiansen, one hall and two books are smashed and swept away, and one hall is smashed and four fat." Guang Zou doesn't seem to be able to heel, so I want to move the fat star and cut the heels. ”

Zhou Hexuan pricked up his ears and pondered carefully, only to understand that the other party was saying that two times a day is a small amount, and four times a day during the Chinese New Year, and now there is no one to live in Guangzhou, so he can only move back to his hometown in the countryside. Zhou Hexuan couldn't cry or laugh, and said in Cantonese: "Fellow, how is the situation in Guangzhou?" ”

The other party replied in Cantonese: "The bombing killed many people, from New Year's Day to Lantern Festival, at least thousands." In the beginning, the Japanese devils only bombed railways and mines, but now they bomb everything. It is normal to bomb two or three times a day, at least 12 planes come each time, and at most forty or fifty planes come at a time. ”

"The Japanese are hateful!" Yu Peichen said angrily.

Listening to Yu Peichen speaking Chinese, the other party changed back to Yuepu, waved his hand and said: "Don't instigate, I still leak again, and the Li cut Guangzou and Su Sen." Rent a place is enough! ”

"Farewell!" Zhou Hexuan hugged his fists.

The closer to Guangzhou City, the worse the road conditions become, with potholes in many places, and Zhou Hexuan can only take people out of the car and push them away.

When they entered the city, they were devastated, and many people cried and cried over the corpses of their dead relatives. Some government officials and civil society groups are leading people to direct the rescue work, and citizens are also helping to dig up the wounded and dead bodies.

On the streets, slogans such as "Resist the War to the End", "United Front of the Whole People", and "Pledge to Coexist and Die with Guangzhou" are posted everywhere.

Not long after, Zhou Hexuan saw a procession, chanting slogans to defend Guangzhou, asking citizens to donate money to buy airplanes. People frantically surrounded the donation boxes, stuffing copper plates and banknotes into the boxes, hoping that the money would be turned into planes and have a few happy fights with the Japanese planes.

Yu Peichen praised this, she said: "I often read in the newspapers that Guangdong is a 'model province of the united front', and it seems that what is said is indeed true. As soon as the bombing was carried out, the rescue team and the medical team began to work, and the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people was also extremely high. ”

"Alas, it's just a superficial article." Zhou Hexuan shook his head and sighed.

Zhu Guozhen was puzzled: "Sir, why do you say that?" ”

Zhou Hexuan didn't explain: "Just look at it more." ”

Since the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, Guangdong Province has shouted slogans extremely beautifully. The provincial government has carried out a series of united front work, such as releasing political prisoners, abolishing the censorship of posts and telecommunications, allowing the people to organize rescue groups, forming local armed forces, and running training classes for democracy movements, air defense, and ambulance.

Political freedom, the war of resistance of the whole people, and the support of the people...... This is the good impression that Guangdong has left on outsiders.

But what's really going on?

Guangdong now has three bigwigs, namely Yu Hanmou, commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army, Wu Tiecheng, chairman and security commander of Guangdong Province, and Zeng Yangfu, mayor of Guangzhou. These three not only did not cooperate in the affairs of the Anti-Japanese War, but instead restrained each other and competed with each other.

Fight for what?

Fight for face!

The three of them each set up several international and domestic propaganda organs, and shouted the slogans of the Anti-Japanese War loudly. If you appoint a militia commander today, I will appoint a general tomorrow to save the people; for more than half a year, the commanders of the militia in various parts of Guangdong have been scattered all over the land, and the number of civilian anti-Japanese volunteers is claimed to be hundreds of thousands.

However, the provincial government did not give these civilian anti-Japanese troops a single shot or bullet, nor did it pay attention to training, let alone arrange defense. As a result, "there were more commanders than soldiers, more soldiers than guns, and more guns than bullets."

Due to the continuous transfer of the Cantonese army to Wuhan, Guangdong's defenses were actually extremely empty. And Yu Hanmou, the commander-in-chief, is already difficult to restrain his generals, and he believes that Japan will not attack South China in the short term.

It was not until April that Lao Chiang sent a warning that Japan had the intention of attacking Guangzhou, and Yu Hanmou temporarily crammed his feet and hurriedly repaired the fortifications, and at the same time used this as an excuse to ask the central government for troops and food. Soon news came that Japan had changed its plan to attack Guangzhou, and Yu Hanmou and his subordinates immediately relaxed.

When Guangzhou was bombed by Yueyue, the generals of the Cantonese army were busy enjoying themselves and making money, and some even left their army to travel to Hong Kong. Military discipline has deteriorated to the extreme, and the army has become a tool for smuggling to make money, smuggling tungsten ore from Guangdong to Hong Kong, and then purchasing in-demand goods from Hong Kong back to Guangzhou, making a lot of money one by one. The checkpoints set up on the border became a smuggling station for generals, and a large number of Japanese spies infiltrated from the checkpoints, so that the bottom of Guangzhou could be clearly understood.

As for the money donated by the people to buy airplanes, they don't know where they went. When the Japanese really started to attack, Yu Hanmou and others panicked, so they took the opportunity to make another wave - changing the land tax from taxes to grain, resulting in a shortage of food, soaring prices, and even a famine in Guangzhou. They also practiced a scorched earth policy, burning what should be burned and destroying what should be destroyed, so that the common people could not even get firewood, so they had to venture out of the city to cut down trees, and some simply dug graves everywhere and stole coffins to sell as firewood.

Before the Japanese invaders officially began their attack, Guangzhou was already in a miasma, and public order was extremely bad. The people were hungry and cold, panicked, and Yu Hanmou and others actually ran away with the army after a little resistance.

If you don't run, you can't do it, the military is weak, the intelligence is wrong, and the deployment is disordered...... Ass!

The most speechless were the leaders of the Cantonese army, the Japanese warships had appeared on the sea, and the garrison officers were still playing everywhere. The defenders hurriedly called Guangzhou and Hong Kong to inform the officers there to hurry back to the defense, some people really couldn't find it, guess what method to tell? At that time, the words "The officers and soldiers of the 151st Division will return to the team immediately" suddenly appeared on the screens of major movie theaters in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, which made the audience watching the movie inexplicable.

Well, the Japanese warships have sailed to the waters of Guangzhou, and the officers are still watching movies, some even in Hong Kong......

This is the model province of the united front - Guangdong!
