Chapter 115: Press Conference! Kneel and beg for recommendations!
When the interpreter translated President Chiang's words, the foreign reporters immediately boiled, and Hans, a reporter from the Soviet TASS news agency, asked: "Dear President Chiang, does your army's recovery of Ordos represent the official sounding of the clarion call for China's counterattack against Benedict?" ”
After President Jiang finished interpreting, he hurriedly said: "We in China have never declared war on Yueben, we are only defending ourselves, we are forced to wage a patriotic war, we Chinese people are peace-loving, and we are openly invading our country with this political axe!" (Note that at that time, the national political axe only declared war on Yue 40 years later!) )
Norwich, a reporter from France-Presse, asked: "If your country's Wuhan is lost, will China surrender to Yueben?" ”
After hearing the translation, President Jiang was furious: "China will fight to the last man, and it will not give in to the Japanese invaders!" I swear once again that all the people of China should go all out to resist the aggressors, and that all the officers and men of our National Revolutionary Army should fight bravely to kill the enemy! Defend the country! Unsuccessful Ning Chengren! As long as the Chinese are not dead, China will still be China! Never die! ”
President Jiang's speech aroused warm applause from the reporters present, and the next day, all the major newspapers across the country published that the Reading Division of the National Revolutionary Army recovered Ordos, annihilated more than 10,000 people, and achieved a great victory in Ordos! President Chiang's impassioned speech also appeared on the front page of the newspaper.
For a time, the determination of the whole [***] people to resist rose to a ** again. The morale of the front-line soldiers was greatly boosted, and the heroic [***] soldiers fought extremely tragic battles with the Yue Kou, and President Jiang's speech has been deeply rooted in the hearts of every front-line soldier, with the determination to kill the enemy and serve the country, and give a large number of casualties to the Yue army!
Journalists from all over the world also reported on the brilliant victory of the Zhong [***] team in recovering Ordos, and China's god of war Zhang Mingyu once again became famous all over the world. The victory of Ordos strengthened the confidence of Germany and the Soviet Union to cooperate with him.
At this time, international public opinion was more sympathetic to China, and more and more voices condemned that the war of aggression against China should not have been launched, and Emperor Moto was quite shocked by this incident! It was ordered that the base camp must immediately organize troops to eliminate Zhang Mingyu's troops and recover Ordos in order to restore the image of the empire in the world.
However, because most of the troops were used on the Wuhan battlefield at that time, and the North China Army was constantly harassed by the Eighth Route Army led by China, the Central China Army was empty and basically unable to attack Zhang Mingyu.
In addition to the 2nd Mixed Brigade and the 11th Wing, which were annihilated by the Reading Division, the rest of the divisions needed to garrison Suiyuan and other places, and they were unable to attack the Reading Division. At this time, only one of the 14th divisions remained.
After receiving the order from the base camp, the commander of the North China Army, Terauchi Shouichi, ordered Kenji Dohihara to lead the 14th Division to attack Ordos and eliminate Zhang Mingyu's department.
After launching the war of aggression against China, he was appointed commander of the 14th Division, commander of the 14th Division of the 14th Division, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, and Chief of Staff Tadayoshi Sano. The division was formed in the Honyu Palace. On July 25, 1937, he was ordered to be transferred to China, set off from Kobe by ship from August 28 to 31, landed at Tanggu from September 3 to 11, and then attacked Baoding and Shijiazhuang along the Pinghan Line. Subordinate: Major General of the 27th Infantry Brigade Brigade Commander Pavilion Yumu (Wuxin): Wing Commander of the 2nd Infantry Wing Ishiguro Sadazo Osa, Wing Commander of the 59th Infantry Wing Itanishi Kazura Osa. Major General Takashi Sakai, Commander of the 28th Infantry Brigade: Wing Commander of the 15th Infantry Wing, Wing Commander Morita Fan Masasa, and Wing Commander of the 50th Infantry Wing, Nagayama Noboru Osa. Wing Commander of the 18th Cavalry Wing Yasuda Kaneto Nakasa, Wing Commander of the 20th Field Artillery Wing Kiyozo Miyagawa, Wing Commander of the 14th Engineer Wing Iwakura Rumen Osa, Wing Commander of the 14th Light and Heavy Infantry Wing Ishihara Shozo Nakasa, Signal Team, Health Team, 1st to 4th Field Hospitals, Weapons Service Team.
This division is one of the 17 permanent divisions and regiments of the Chinese army, and all the soldiers are elite soldiers of the Chinese army, and their combat effectiveness is strong. In the war of aggression against China, he committed heinous crimes against the Chinese people.
After receiving the order, Kenji Dohihara did not rush to attack the Reading Division, but sent someone to inquire about the establishment and personnel of the Reading Division. Chief of Staff Sano Tadashi asked puzzledly: "Your Excellency the division commander, my subordinates don't understand, why did you send people to inquire about the situation of the Zhina people, according to the intelligence of the special high-tech branch, Zhang Mingyu led only a division of troops, we only need one wing to easily defeat them, why bother?" ”
"Nope! Sano-kun, there is a saying in China that you know yourself and know that you are not invincible, this branch is a very cunning person, more cunning than a fox, don't rely entirely on the intelligence of Tegaoke, I only believe in myself! Kenji Dohihara said.
Ordos.
At this time, the scholars were enjoying the wine and dishes bought by the ocean rewarded by President Jiang. Zhang Mingyu sat at his headquarters and listened to Li Gang's report: "The division, Soviet and German technicians and factory equipment are all in place, and North Lee said that they are already trying to produce fighters and tanks!" ”
"Good! Immediately send a telegram to Liu Cheng and ask him to recruit troops to form a reading brigade with the third regiment as the backbone to defend our factory facilities. The secrecy work has to be done well, and the rumors must not be leaked, if I let Yue know about our factory, then they will definitely destroy it at all costs! Zhang Mingyu whispered to Li Gang.
"Hmmm! Rest assured. Li Gang replied.
"By the way, the Tiger Battalion has withdrawn?" Zhang Mingyu asked.
"It has been withdrawn according to your orders, and the Tiger Battalion can attack at any time as long as you give the order." Li Gang replied.
Early the next morning, Zhang Mingyu came with Tie Niu to guard the more than 2,000 puppet Mongolian soldiers who were captured by the First Brigade. Zhang Mingyu ordered all of them to be driven to the field, and then he began to speak on the stage again, and after a provocative speech, more than 1,000 of the two thousand captives expressed their willingness to join the reading division, and the rest were all some desperate to be Han Zhan as devils, Zhang Mingyu ordered to bring them all to the base area, and there must be a shortage of a large number of laborers in the future to dig mines and coal kilns, these stubborn Han Jians and puppet soldiers Zhang Mingyu planned to use them all as laborers.
At this time, Zhang Mingyu transferred 300 soldiers from each regiment to the military schools of the Soviet Union and Germany to learn the knowledge of flying planes and tanks and other modern weapons and equipment, these are only the first batch, and with the expansion of the scale of the Iron Army, they will prepare for the establishment of military academies and cultivate military talents, but it is obviously not the time yet, at least after Zhang Mingyu has enough strength.
In the following days, Zhang Mingyu began to recruit troops on a large scale, and the children of peasants of various nationalities who came to enlist in the army were endless, and there were also some patriotic young students, and Zhang Mingyu reorganized these learned students into a regiment, which had no combat mission for the time being, but learned the production of weapons and ammunition from the skilled workers and masters of the Soviet Union and Germany in the base areas.
Zhang Mingyu was inspecting the recruitment work, and when he walked to the student recruitment office, he heard some students arguing with the soldier in charge of recruitment.
One student said, "We are here to be soldiers and fight devils, we are not going to be workers!" We're going to the front, we're going to fight bayonets with little devils! ”
The students behind him all quarreled:
"That's right! We are not workers, we are soldiers! We're going to kill the devils! ”
Zhang Mingyu stepped forward and yelled: "What's the noise?" ”
Seeing Zhang Mingyu dressed in an officer's uniform, a slightly taller student said: "Sir, we want to be soldiers, we want to go to the front line!" We had to fight with the little devils, but this man made us go to be workers. The group of students in the back shouted along.
"What a howl!" Zhang Mingyu roared. Silenced all the chaotic voices of these students.
"You're going to fight the devil with a bayonet?" Zhang Mingyu said: "Do you know how to shoot a bayonet? Do you know how to kill someone? Howl here! You are still knowledgeable people and intellectuals! As the future pillars of the country, you must know how to use your knowledge to support the national war of resistance! ”
Without waiting for those students to speak, Zhang Mingyu continued: "Students, I know that you all came to join the army and serve the country with enthusiasm!" But everyone must do their best, you go to the arsenal to work, make guns and cannons, and better support the soldiers to fight devils, I let you enter the arsenal Another most important purpose is to learn technology, learn all the skills of foreigners, and turn them into our own technology.
Now our guns and ammunition are all imported, and the hard-earned money that the common people have pulled out from between their teeth has been earned by black-hearted foreign [***] fire merchants. Do you think that if we have our own arsenal and we in China can make our own guns, do we still need to pay a lot of money for other people's products? ”
"If only you knew to the best of your ability? As long as you do something that is beneficial to the war, no matter where you are, you are all heroes, and you are all my Zhang Mingyu's soldiers! Zhang Mingyu said loudly again.
"Chief is Zhang Mingyu?" One student asked.
"This can still be fake!" Lao Tzu is Zhang Mingyu.
"Students, we join the army, we go to produce guns, and let the soldiers take the guns we make to fight hard!" The student raised his fist and took the lead in shouting: "Down with the imperialism and drive the little devils out of China!" ”
Immediately, all the students shouted:
Down with imperialism! Drive the little devils out of China!
Down with imperialism! Drive the little devils out of China!
