Chinese and foreign reporters have been waiting in the Chongqing City Hall for a long time. Gao Fei, a famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, will be interviewed here by Chinese and foreign reporters.

For Gao Fei, his name has long been thunderous on the land of China. But this legendary general has never held a press conference, and even when he was interviewed by reporters, he seemed so hurried.

The reporters had been waiting here for about 20 minutes, and just when they were a little anxious and impatient, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the hall:

"Lieutenant General of the Republic of China Army, Chairman of Fujian Provincial Political Axe, and Commander of the Fourth Theater General Gao Fei has arrived!"

With this voice, the young and heroic lieutenant general of the Republic of China Army Gao Fei strode in.

The magnesium lights in the hall quickly "clicked, clicked" and flashed.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Zhang Dulun, the mayor of Chongqing, accompanied Gao Fei at the press conference, waved his hand to silence the reporters, and said:

"Today, we are honored to invite General Gao Fei, chairman of the Fujian Provincial Political Axe and commander of the Fourth Theater, to answer reporters' questions on the battlefield of resistance against Japanese aggression, and welcome your questions."

Gao Fei's ass had just sat down, and a reporter had already stood up: "General Gao Fei, hello, I am a reporter from the "Yucheng Times", I heard that you have not yet arrived in Yucheng, and a miracle has been born. One of your subordinates, led more than 70 soldiers, fought thousands of miles, not only killed the Japanese chief Shibata Yoshio Osa, but also brought back more than 2,000 soldiers? ”

"Yes, his name is Yu Zhenhai." Gao Fei nodded: "This can not only be described as a miracle, I think it's simply incredible, at least I can't do this, if I and Yu Zhenhai change positions, maybe I'm being interrogated in the military police department of the Japanese army now, instead of accepting questions from reporters here." ”

There was a burst of laughter from below, and the reporter continued to ask: "You also think that this is a miracle, and what makes me and the people of the whole country curious, how did such a miracle happen?" ”

Gao Fei's expression became solemn: "This is indeed a miracle, but such a miracle is piled up with the blood and lives of countless soldiers. Especially during the retreat, Yu Zhenhai's deputy Yuan Qingbao stayed with three hundred warriors, and in the end there was no survivor"

Gao Fei's tone clearly introduced the situation at that time, the crisis, difficulties, and unyielding were all clearly said word by word from Gao Fei's mouth.

The reporters listened very carefully, and the pen moved very quickly, for fear of missing a word.

"While we were meeting here, my men were still fighting in enemy-occupied territory." Goofy's face was extremely heavy: "Many of them, you know their names, and I know their names as well. I don't know when Lao Hei, Xie Yi, Suozhu, and Thunder will come back, and I don't know if they will come back, but the only thing I know is that as long as I am still in China for a day, they will continue to fight! Sometimes I really feel very guilty, Lao Hei has a child, and the lock post has a child, but until now, they haven't even seen their own children. I owe them what the country owes them."

Goofy exhaled deeply and paused there, "However, they never complained about anything. Only if the country needs them, they will keep fighting! ”

There was a long silence in the press gallery, and no one spoke.

After a long time, a foreign correspondent stood up: "General Gao, I am a reporter for the British newspaper "The Times." On behalf of me, I have the utmost respect for the bravery and dedication of you and your men on the battlefield. You are the commander who most directly fights with the army, and I often hear that you, as an officer, often fight with your soldiers on the front line, and you may die at any time, as a military commander, don't you think it's too risky to do so? ”

"Adventure?" Goofy's eyebrows twitched: "Is it really risky to do this?" Mr. Reporter, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Chinese army is far superior to ours in terms of weaponry and the quality of the training of its soldiers. They have planes in the sky, tanks and artillery on the ground, warships in the sea, but we have nothing. When the Sichuan army swore out of Sichuan, taking our 28th Division as an example, on average, every two and a half soldiers could have a rifle, and the grenade per capita was less than one, and the reserve of bullets could only fight two medium-sized battles, and our most commonly used weapon was the broadsword! You can fully imagine what a troop with such a weapon would have to rely on to defeat an enemy armed to the teeth?

Spirit, the only thing we have is spirit, and we have nothing but that. We can't just let the soldiers fight hard, once on the battlefield, every officer must fight on the front line, and must fight with the soldiers. When the enemy rushes up, the only thing the regiment commander, brigade commander, and division commander can do is to take up arms, treat themselves as the most ordinary soldiers, and fight with the enemy with blood, and exchange life for life! No exceptions! Once you retreat, the whole army will retreat, and once you motivate the soldiers with your actions, you will find it difficult to imagine the determination to die here, unless you go to the most real battlefield."

Speaking of which, Gao Fei's gaze swept over the reporters one by one:

"In fact, this does not only exist in the 26th Division, not only in the Sichuan Army, but also in every unit in [***], without any difference. Hao Mengling, the commander of the Ninth Army, the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and General Hao asked Ying to go north to resist, before he said to his wife: "I am a soldier, I have fought a civil war for half my life, and I have no interests in the country. Now that we are going to destroy China, our country has reached the last moment of life and death, and I should go to the war of resistance and fight with the enemy. When he led his troops through Wuhan to say goodbye to his family, he said to his children: 'I love you, but I love our country even more, and now the enemy is slaughtering our compatriots every day, everyone should go and kill the enemy, if the country dies, you will have no good life.' He couldn't bear to see his family crying before leaving, so he quietly wrote a suicide note and asked the children to open it later. He wrote: 'This time I went north to resist and sacrificed. In case of death, you must listen to your mother's training and be filial to your grandmother. As for you waiting to go to school, I personally don't have the money. In the future, when the country is victorious, you can enter the school for the bereaved people'.

Before the war, he encouraged the officers and soldiers, saying, 'This war is a war for the survival of the nation, and there is only sacrifice.' If you retreat again, to the Yellow River, there will be no soldiers, how can there be officials. This means that I live and live in the country, and I live and die in the country. On the eve of the decisive battle, he wrote to his wife: "This war of resistance is the last moment for the survival of the nation and the country. In order to strive for the final victory and make the Chinese nation live forever in the world, success does not have to be mine, I will sacrifice first. After my sacrifice, as long as the country exists, the education of my children will certainly not be a problem, and there will be glory in the sacrifice. For soldiers, for the country to die, death is deserved! ’

The commander of the army, Seishiro Itagaki commanded the 5th Division, and under the cover of aircraft, artillery, and tanks, launched a fierce attack on the Xinkou position with all his might. In the face of a strong enemy, Hao Mengling had no fear, and personally went to the front line to command the 9th Army to cover up when the planes and artillery bombardment of the Yue Army, and as soon as the artillery fire of the Yue Army stopped, he rushed to the position and hit the Yue Army with infantry weapons. On October 12, the main position of Nanhuaihua was broken by the Yue army, and the 9th Army and the Yue Army launched a fierce tug-of-war on the 204 Heights north of Xinkou and the northeast of Huaihua in the south, and changed hands 13 times in a day and night, and finally occupied the 204 Heights, and the 9th Army suffered heavy losses. In order to hold the position, Hao Mengling said to the soldiers on the position: "Previously, we had a regiment of people guarding this position, but now only one company is still guarding this position, even if there is one person left, we must also defend this position." If we don't die for a day, the responsibility of resistance will not be over for a day. Before leaving, I had written a will at home, saying that if I could not be defeated, the army would never survive. Now I will hold this position with you, and I will not retreat first. If I retreat first, whoever you are, you can shoot me!" Whoever you are, take a step back, and I'll shoot him right away. ’

On the night of October 15, Commander-in-Chief Wei Lihuang sent seven additional brigades to Hao Mengling and ordered him to attack the Yue army in three ways. In the early morning of the 16th, Hao Mengling led his troops to launch an attack on the position of the Yue army, and the guns and artillery thundered, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the army was defeated and retreated. The 9th Army took advantage of the victory to pursue the Yue Army, and in the melee, Hao Mengling was unfortunately hit by a machine gun bullet of the Yue Army and died heroically at the age of 39. ”

There was a terrible silence in the meeting room, and everyone was deeply immersed in Goofy's story.

"39 years old, General Hao was only 39 years old when he died!" The corners of Gao Fei's eyes were a little moist: "He is the commander of an army, and he still led his troops to fight to the death with the enemy on the front line, and finally died generously!" What am I flying high? How can you stand still because you are greedy for life and afraid of death? In fact, there is only one General Hao in my [***]?

Wu Keren, lieutenant general of the army, 67th Army, died in Songjiang, Shanghai on November 8, 1937; Lieutenant General Wang Mingzhang, Deputy Commander of the 41st Army and Commander of the 122nd Division. Graduated from the 3rd phase of the Sichuan Army Military Academy, and died in the Battle of Lunan on March 7, 1938 at the West Gate of Tengxian County, Shandong; Tong Linge, lieutenant general of the army, deputy commander of the 29th Army, was born in the army. On July 28, 1937, the army patrol envoy senior teaching group died in the battle of Nanyuan, Beiping, Nanyuan, Dahongmen; There are too many Rao Guohua, Zhao Dengyu, and Fang Shuhong, there are too many, too many of these people, they are all my predecessors, how many grades higher than me? They are still fighting on the front line, what is my high flying! ”

Goofy took a deep breath:

"So that's the most advantageous weapon we have, and it's the magic weapon we have to defeat the aggressor. It's not risk-taking, it's not recklessness, it's that we can't help it, there's really no way"

Gao Fei's words revealed too much helplessness and sadness, which also caused a sigh among the reporters.

After a long silence in the press gallery, an American reporter stood up and said, "General Gao, I once again express my high respect for you and your men's heroic performance on the battlefield. But I have always had a question, although most of the Chinese [***] team showed great bravery on the battlefield, but in several battles, the results achieved by the Chinese [***] team did not seem to be so satisfactory, I would like to ask the general, do you think China's war of resistance will be able to win in the end? ”

"Yes, surely!" Gao Fei's answer did not hesitate: "The final victory of the Anti-Japanese War must belong to us!" It's not because I'm an officer in the squadron that I say something like that.

After the outbreak of the all-out war, the domestic war machine was running at a high speed, and the army was victorious on the Chinese battlefield, which caused this island nation, which lacked the ability to introspect, to enter a state of madness inflated by greed and victory. The streets of Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Yokohama, Fukuoka, Kobe, Sapporo, and other places were full of people joining the army and participating in the war, and even the "Field Service Corps," which provided services to the soldiers at the front, was overcrowded with enthusiastic young female students vying to sign up.

However, after the occupation of Xuzhou, the Yue army had to face a harsh reality: China's strategic space was too large, and China's will to resist the war was extremely strong. They originally believed that China was an inferior nation, that China's pattern was a plate of scattered sand, and that China was far behind them. At a time when he had risen rapidly since the Meiji Restoration, boldly introduced advanced Western ideas and technologies, vigorously developed modern industry, and rapidly became a world military power, China, a close neighbor that had made them extremely awe-inspired, and a big eastern country that came from all directions, was still intoxicated with the hotbed of seclusion and seclusion. When the military developed and developed Type 88, Type 94, and Type 96 fighters, BR-20 heavy explosives, Type 97 heavy bombers, M-25 armored vehicles, Type 89 tanks, aircraft carriers, battleships, heavy ships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, all kinds of light and heavy artillery, as well as new weapons that attracted the attention of Britain, the United States, Germany, Italy, and other Western military powers, such as crooked handles, 38 big covers, and special cigarettes, and produced and equipped these weapons in large quantities in the hands of various divisions, air brigades, and fleet soldiers. China, which could not even make ordinary cars, was busy fighting a civil war, and various banners were still changing from time to time on the heads of cities all over China, and warlords of all stripes still held outdated Hanyang-made, Zhongcheng, and Gongxian" rifles and broadswords in their hands, and fought in the dark for turf and annexation of each other, and even for a woman

The base camp originally thought that such a country and such an army would be vulnerable to attack, so when the Lugou Bridge Incident was a full-scale invasion of China, they arrogantly declared: It only takes three months to destroy China!

In fact, the stubborn resistance of the [***] team made the base camp lose its troops, become angry, and lose face in front of the world. The fiasco of Taierzhuang, out of the sake of face, they mobilized the army to launch the Battle of Xuzhou. After the Battle of Xuzhou, they only occupied an empty city, but the main force of the [***] team jumped out of Xuzhou, making them lose face. ”

Goofy paused, then continued:

"At this time, the base camp still stubbornly believes that China only needs the last blow to collapse. Because according to their accurate statistics, after the capture of Xuzhou, most of China has fallen into their hands, including the elite areas of China, and the Chinese [***] team has suffered heavy casualties and has been greatly damaged, and it has been vulnerable.

Therefore, the greedy eyes of the hungry wolf in the base camp salivated at Wuhan, an important city in central and southern China.

This short-sighted, manic, short-sighted, short-sighted island nation in a remote corner and lacking the ability to introspect will not and will never know that they are facing an ancient nation with 5,000 years of history and culture, and when this nation is invaded by foreign races, it will show strong national cohesion and national tenacity, and in the face of the tremendous power released by this national cohesion and national tenacity fission, no invader will want to conquer this nation. Of course, this force is also incalculable by any sophisticated instrument.

In the view of the base camp: Wuhan, what a wonderful place! It is connected to Henan in the north and Hunan in the south; The Yangtze River, the largest river in China, passes through the city and winds eastward, echoing Jiangxi and Anhui provinces; Tracing the river, you can back to the rear of Bashu. In addition, there is a more important political factor, which is to occupy such a treasure of the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, and in fact destroy the national political axe, at least drive it to the southwestern corner and reduce it to a local political axe, which is conducive to luring the pro-Japanese faction within the Kuomintang to 'cooperate' with the political axe and re-establish a 'Chinese political axe' that obeys its orders. Therefore, the base camp believed that 'the capture of Hankou was the greatest opportunity to end the war as soon as possible', and that 'as long as Hankou and Guangzhou were captured, they could rule China'.

Based on this strategic concept, the base camp of the Yue army decided to transfer troops to capture Wuhan.

Wuhan, the pearl of Central China on the Jianghan Plain, and the capital of Dayi, the thoroughfare of nine provinces, has become the focus of contention between China and China. For a time, the mountains and rivers changed color, the blood and rain were bloody, and the Chinese nation once again experienced the baptism of blood and fire. Wuhan embodies the anxious eyes of the world.

The Battle of Wuhan lasted four and a half months. For four and a half months, the two sides launched a decisive battle of unprecedented scale within a range of thousands of miles with Wuhan as the center, setting a record of the largest scale, the largest number of troops invested, the longest battle front, and the heaviest sacrifice since the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China.

In the Battle of Wuhan, the army successively deployed a total of 14 divisions, 3 reading brigades, and 5 aviation regiments, and dispatched more than 400 air force interceptors and bombers, and more than 140 warships, with a total strength of 400,000 troops.

The squadron has invested a total of 1,120 divisions, more than 200 combat aircraft, and more than 30 warships, with a total strength of more than 1 million troops.

Ladies and gentlemen, Wuhan, the surrounding area of this important city, said that Emperor Hirohito has been released, and as the supreme military commander of our country and nation, President Chiang Chung-cheng Chiang has also been liberated! ”
