readx; "General Li Zongren, commander of the Fifth Theater of the National Revolutionary Army, has arrived!"

"General Yang Sen, commander-in-chief of the 22nd Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, has arrived!"

With this sound, applause continued to ring in the banquet hall, and the generals wearing golden stars walked in one by one. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Delin!"

"Brother Jiansheng!"

Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's hands were tightly clasped together, and with a spring breeze on their faces, Li Zongren grabbed Bai Chongxi's hand and refused to let it go:

"Jiansheng, I have repeatedly asked the chairman of the committee to transfer you to assist in commanding the battle of Xuzhou, waiting left and right, but in the end, I still waited for you! With your brother Jiansheng in charge of the battle of Xuzhou, my burden will be much easier."

The two Guangxi elders and old friends reunited after a long absence, and kept telling about the recent situation.

At this time, suddenly the magnesium light kept flashing, and then a voice came:

"Colonel Gao Fei, deputy brigade commander of the 22nd Brigade of the 26th Division of the 76th Group Army of the Fifth Theater of the National Revolutionary Army, has arrived!"

Bai Chongxi was stunned: "High flying? Is that the Goofy who killed Noboru Kunisaki? ”

Seeing that Li Zongren nodded, Bai Chongxi said in a low voice: "I heard that Lao Jiang is very important to him and met him personally?" And personally promoted him to the deputy commander of the 76 Brigade? ”

Li Zongren nodded again: "Yes, Lao Jiang talked to him for nearly 20 minutes, which is rare, rare." This battle is very set in terms of fighting, and Liu Xianting regards him as a treasure. Liu Xianting was originally Lao Jiang's person, in my opinion, once Liu Xianting is promoted, the position of the commander of the 26th Division must be Gao Fei."

Bai Chongxi smiled and didn't say anything.

The reporters surrounded Gao Fei and threw questions one by one, and Gao Fei instantly became the focus of the audience.

And the most curious thing is that standing behind Gao Fei, two beautiful and heroic female soldiers. Needless to say, this is the [***] heroines Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan who were once reported in the newspaper.

It was easy to send the reporters away, Gao Fei saw the chiefs one by one, and finally came to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, and saluted: "Hello Commander Li, good Commander Bai!" ”

"Young and promising, young and promising." Bai Chongxi smiled.

Gao Fei in front of him, dressed in a straight military uniform, spotless on black leather boots, very military, also made Bai Chongxi add a little favor to him:

"Gao Fei, I know that you can fight, this war, it is you young heroes who can fight and are willing to use your brains, when you are sent into battle, don't be afraid of hardship!"

"Please rest assured, Chief Bai, for the War of Resistance, Gao Fei only has four words, only death! Goofy's answer was sonorous and powerful.

The scene suddenly fell silent, and Goofy and the others stopped talking, and tonight's protagonist was about to appear.

"Mr. Jiang Zhongzheng, Chairman of the Political Axe of the Republic of China, Chairman of the Military Commission, Commander of the Supreme Council of National Defense, and President of the Chinese Kuomintang, Mrs. Meiling, and Mr. Zhou Enlai, Deputy Director of the Political Department of the Military Committee of the National Political Axe, have arrived!"

A tidal wave of applause rang out, and in a cheer, Chiang Kai-shek, his wife, Mrs. Soong Meiling, and Mr. Zhou Enlai slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Chiang Kai-shek's hand waved frequently, and when the applause stopped, he said:

"First of all, I would like to report two pieces of good news to you. Yesterday, our heroic air force bombed the military base of the Chinese army in Taiwan and achieved great results! ”

The applause rang out again, Chiang Kai-shek smiled slightly, and waved his hand to silence the audience:

"The second piece of good news is that the Soviet political axe has promised to give us a credit loan of 10,000 yuan in fiat currency, which is equivalent to 25 million US dollars!"

This time, the cheers, applause, and cheers became more and more enthusiastic.

It is money that fights wars, and now the most important thing for the national political axe is money! And this credit loan of 10,000,000 fiat currency is to solve the urgent need of the national political axe!

Not only that, but there were also some cases where secret discussions with the Soviet Union had been completed, but Chiang Kai-shek did not say it.

At the same time as borrowing money on credit, the Soviet side also agreed to directly provide military reinforcements, and in addition to the Soviet pilots who were already exhibiting in China, they would also secretly transport a large number of planes and munitions to the rear through Xinjiang Province.

To be honest, although the Soviet Union's assistance was based on its own interests, it was necessary to let China contain it. However, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, these loans and military aid still gave the national government a great help.

"Below" Chiang Kai-shek cleared his throat: "I would like to invite Vice Minister Zhou Enlai to speak." ”

The applause rang out again, and Zhou Enlai walked slowly, his voice loud and clear:

"Friends, heroes of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, I am very happy that I can come to this occasion today, and I am also very happy to see today's China, under the leadership of Chairman Chiang, unite and unanimously resist the war, and I firmly believe that under the leadership of Chairman Chiang, the people of all ethnic groups across the country are united, and the final victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression must belong to us

Not to mention the First Sino-Japanese War and the Eight-Nation Alliance, which time was it not a land reparation and the people suffered? Now, with this invasion and a national crisis at the head, all walks of life throughout the country must unite regardless of creed, class, or nationality to form a solid national united front against the Japanese nation. Fully comprehending the importance of establishing the anti-Japanese national united front, the Chinese people's anti-Japanese war can achieve final victory

At present, we are at the beginning of the war, and the enemy is strong and we are weak, and it is inevitable that we will lose a city and a place. Our War of Resistance is not determined by the gains or losses of one city or one place, but by whether we can last and whether we can persist in the War of Resistance to the end. Only by persevering can we change the balance of forces between us and the enemy. In the end, the enemy will inevitably be weak and we will be strong, until we counterattack and achieve the final victory. We believe that the broad masses of the people throughout the country should take off their long shirts, change into short clothes, go to the front, go to work, fight, and fight the enemy."

The applause rang out warmly, Zhou Enlai slapped lightly in response, and said:

"Imperialism is not invincible, before coming to Xuzhou, I was glad to hear that the Fifth Theater of Xuzhou won a great victory in Kouziling, annihilating more than 10,000 enemies, and the whole country was shaken, this is the first great victory we have achieved since the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression! In this victory, I also heard about a heroic regimental commander, and the troops under his command eliminated one brigade headquarters and three wing headquarters of the Japanese army. Amazing, amazing!

Miracle, I can only use the word miracle to describe it, the Japanese invaders were hit so hard that even their proud Major General Kunisaki Noboru was buried in Kouzilingna! I would like to ask, is this heroic regimental leader here today? ”

Everyone's eyes fell to the back of the venue, although a small colonel was inconspicuous here, but with Zhou Enlai's words, Gao Fei suddenly became the focus of the field.

"Report to Chairman Jiang, report to Vice Minister Zhou, I am Gao Fei!"

"Teen Hero, Teen Hero!" Zhou Enlai praised again and again, and turned his head to Chiang Kai-shek: "Chairman, let me make a suggestion, let's take a group photo together, okay?" ”

"Yes, very good!" Chiang Kai-shek's thick Fenghua accent came.

In the applause of everyone, Gao Fei walked in front of Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Enlai, and as the magnesium light flickered, a precious photo remained

Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan, who came to such an occasion for the first time, were a little nervous, and then saw that a guard invited the two of them to go over there, and the two girls walked over, but saw Ms. Song Meiling greet them.

"Hello, heroines in [***]." Song Meiling smiled and stretched out her hand.

"Mrs. Jiang, no, Ms. Meiling is good" Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan hurriedly shook hands with Song Meiling.

"Don't be inhibited, Chairman and Enlai have praised your commander Gao Fei, but in my opinion, you are the most remarkable." Song Meiling looked very kind, and asked the two girls to sit down beside her:

"Men resist the war and defend the land for the country, and women are also unwilling to be left behind. I once said a few words, who of you know? ”

"Report to Madame Chiang, we all know it." Fu Xiaogan whispered: "Ms. Meiling said, 'Female soldiers, the War of Resistance has broken out in an all-round way! Raise your guns and don't let up! Imperialist violence is coming to our country! ’”

Song Meiling nodded with satisfaction:

"Men can resist the war, and women can also resist the war, and since ancient times, it has been said, 'Women are not allowed to shave their eyebrows'. I read about your deeds in the newspapers, and to borrow a phrase from Enlai, 'Amazing, Amazing', in my opinion, you are even more amazing than men! How old are you? ”

"Report Madame Chiang, 19." Jing Lianyu said in a low voice.

“18。” Fu Xiaogan said with a red face.

"One is 19, one is 18, at this age, I was around my knees in front of my parents, at the age of studying." Song Meiling sighed with emotion: "But I said that I came, but you went to the battlefield"

As he spoke, he looked at the military uniforms worn by the two girls, and then took Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan's hands and looked at them carefully, and his eyes were actually a little red:

"Aimei is a woman's surname, but you can only look at this hand in a military uniform, look at this hand, how much suffering you have suffered, how much suffering you have suffered."

The celebrities who accompanied Song Meiling on the side also wiped their eyes with real and fake

"Report to Madame Jiang, we are not bitter, compared to those comrades-in-arms who have sacrificed, we are satisfied"

"Someone, bring me the gift I prepared."

With Song Meiling's voice, the gift was brought up, and Song Meiling said: "Here are two cheongsams, I know you can't wear them now, but these two things that you will wear one day are given to me by my American friend, and they are used to wipe your hands every day to protect your hands."

Jing Lianyu's heart suddenly moved, and she was bold: "Mrs. Jiang, can I make a request?" ”

"Say, as long as I can do it, I will do it."

"Madame Jiang, at present, the front-line soldiers are short of food and clothing, but the most scarce thing is medicine. Some soldiers who are wounded on the battlefield often lose their lives without timely treatment, and if there is enough medicine, they will not die"

Song Meiling listened carefully, nodded constantly, and then shouted, "Mao Bangchu." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mao Bangchu, deputy director of Chiang Kai-shek's chamberlain, quickly walked over.

"Immediately organize a batch of drugs and equipment to be sent to the 151st regiment, both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, especially Western medicine, and we must prepare more. Remember, I personally supervised this matter and reported it to me at any time. Song Meiling explained carefully.

"Yes, ma'am, I know, I'll handle it at once."

After Song Meiling explained, she thought about it for a while, asked someone to bring a bag, and then took off the bracelet and earrings on her hand and put them in the bag, and said to the wives and celebrities around her:

"The soldiers at the front are fighting the war, but we are enjoying happiness in the rear, how can we bear it? The War of Resistance is a matter for all the people, regardless of men, women, old and young, who have money to contribute and to contribute! ”

Both Mrs. Jiang spoke, and Song Meiling personally set an example, those wives and celebrities, some willingly and some perfunctory, all took off the jewelry on their bodies and put them in the bag.

Song Meiling stuffed a heavy bag into Jing Lianyu's hand: "This is donated by us, and it is used to buy medicine and food for the brothers." Shame on you, there's only so much we can do. I'll give you another privilege, and if anything happens in the future, you can come to me directly! ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Jiang, thank you, Mrs. Jiang!" Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan said gratefully.

Song Meiling smiled: "I heard that both of you are Gao Fei's confidantes?" ”

Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan's faces turned red, and a burst of good-natured laughter sounded on the side.

"We have to fight wars, but we have to solve major events in our lives." Song Meiling smiled and said: "I am religious and am in favor of monogamy, so tell me, who wants to marry Gao Feina?" I'm going to tell you personally. ”

In front of Mrs. Jiang and so many people, how could Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan be embarrassed to answer? Besides, Madame Chiang has already spoken in person, monogamous

"Alright, alright, don't embarrass you." Song Meiling also felt that it was a little embarrassing for the two girls to ask in front of so many people, and said with a smile:

"In the future, when you think about it, it's not too late to tell me!"

At this time, the banquet had already begun, and Song Meiling stood up with one in hand: "Let's go, let's talk while eating." ”

The spotlight on the side kept flashing, and the reporter kept making notes under the pen.

Song Meiling's actions reveal her true feelings, and it is undeniable that there is an element of drama, but in any case, she has always done good things for the Anti-Japanese War.

For Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan, it made them famous again, and when the photos of them and Mrs. Jiang appeared in the newspaper, most people in the country would soon recognize the two of them.

Heroines of the Anti-Japanese War, being personally received by the wife of the Supreme Leader, and so on.

Sometimes opportunities will appear inadvertently, and this is exactly the case for Jing Lianyu and Fu Xiaogan!
