Chapter 191: The Perfect Speech of the Battle of Wuhan (Finale)

Han Yunhua was not stage frightened, calmly walked up to the rostrum, swept the spectators in the stands, and said in an emotional Inner Mongolian accent: "A spirit that travels through history and reflects the future." In 1931, the September 18 Incident caused China to lose the three eastern provinces; In 1935, the North China Incident caused China to lose control of the entire five provinces of North China; In 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident caused us to lose half of the rivers and mountains. How much room do we have to retreat, Shanghai is lost, we can retreat to Nanjing; If Nanjing is lost, we can withdraw to Wuhan; If Wuhan is lost, we can also withdraw to Yucheng. But if even Yucheng, Chengdu or Kunming in the rear are lost, then where can we still retreat?

I can't forget the day when I accepted the adaptation, and many soldiers asked: Why do you have to wear the Kuomintang military uniform? Comrade Zuo Quan, then chief of staff of the Red Army Corps, told everyone in a serious tone: What does it matter if we wear a Kuomintang hat in order to resist the war? Everyone followed his command, took off their five-star octagonal hats, and put on this hat of resistance. The flames of the all-out war of resistance were ignited, for the freedom and prosperity of the country and the nation. At the critical moment of the nation's survival, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, regardless of its previous suspicions, carried out reorganization, accepted the command of the Nationalist Political Axe Military Committee, and quickly marched to the front line of resistance against Japan. The 40,000 Red Army soldiers who broke through the encirclement and interception of the Kuomintang army and successfully completed the Long March of 10,000 miles were reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army; 10,000 guerrillas who went out of the mountains formed the new Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army; Under the leadership of China, countless anti-Japanese armed forces went deep behind enemy lines and fought guerrilla warfare...... At the same time, under the advocacy of China, the anti-Japanese national united front based on the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was formally formed. 40,000,000 compatriots united under the banner of patriotism and formed a mighty torrent of resistance. The soldiers of the Anti-Japanese Federation were active in Baishan and Heishui, and the Muslim detachment made the Yue army frightened; Salvation organizations such as the National Salvation Federation from all walks of life have been set up one after another, and different political parties and groups have donated old grievances to go to the national disaster together. Compatriots from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao donated money and materials, and overseas Chinese subscribed to treasury bonds and returned to China to participate in the war...... The tide of the All-People's War of Resistance completely shattered the aggressor's false claim that "China will be destroyed within three months".

It was a war of great disparity: in 1937, it was said that the annual output of steel was 5.8 million tons, 1,580 aircraft, 330 tanks, and 740 artillery pieces. At that time, China's annual output of steel was only 40,000 tons, and its military industry was weak, so it could only produce some light weapons...... On July 17, 1937, Chairman Chiang Chung-cheng and Chairman Chiang delivered a famous speech in Lushan: "If the war begins, it will be divided between the north and the south, and the old and the young. "We can't forget the little soldiers of the Red Army on the Long March, we can't forget the monuments on the snow-capped mountains and plateaus, we can't forget the blood-stained red flags on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, and we can't forget the group of people with lofty ideals under the blood-red banner. It is precisely with such a group of enthusiastic young people that the country and the nation have hope; It is precisely with such a group of steel fighters that the Chinese nation can wash away a century of humiliation and stand tall in the east of the world again.

They go forward and follow each other, they sacrifice their lives and forget death, they throw their heads and spill their blood, they would rather take up rudimentary weapons to resist than be spineless minions. From Pingxingguan to Taihang Mountain, from the Loess Plateau to the vast forest, from the hills of Shandong to the grassland of Saibei, people can never forget the red battle flag and the gray fighter under the battle flag. No matter how the hunger of war hits, no matter how the disaster and disease are baptized, the blood-colored battle flag that symbolizes the national resistance will not move, and the Han will continue to fold its flagpole; The lackey can't break its flag; The invaders trembled under its banner waving in the wind.

This was another terrifying war for the invaders: after countless nights of blocking the Yue army, the Baoshan battalion was almost completely wiped out, and only three people survived in the battalion; Besieged by the enemy by the river, 8 female warriors who swore to die held their arms and sank into the river. At the heavy price of 40,000 casualties, China vowed to defeat the arrogant fascists...... The Chinese nation will inevitably win a complete victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the end, and the spirit of the War of Resistance tempered by blood and fire will be fixed in the starry sky of history for eternity. Sacrifice your life to go to the country, and see death as if you were going home. Blood can be shed, tears can be spilled, but the head cannot be lowered, this is the true color of the Chinese nation, and the blood of the Chinese flows with a stubborn and unyielding spirit! How much honor and disgrace, how much hardship, how much struggle, how much sacrifice, we use blood, sweat, and precious lives to cast the unyielding Chinese soul of the Oriental land! In exchange for the bright sunshine of the future generations of China! To create a happy life for our future generations. Countless heroes and martyrs, with their love for the motherland and sincerity to the people, did not hesitate to throw their heads and shed their blood in exchange for this hard-won happiness, which embodies the blood and lives of countless heroes. So many people with lofty ideals, for the liberation of New China and in order to enable the common people to live a good life, did not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood. It is a symbol of the sincere cooperation of the sons and daughters of China to drive away foreign humiliation, and it is the perfect interpretation of the unyielding national soul of the Chinese nation.

"When the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible. At that time, I can appreciate the weight of this sentence. "In those years of burning passion, there were many people and things that we should remember. The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Xinkou Taiyuan, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Taierzhuang and Xuzhou, and the Battle of Wuhan...... Millions of Kuomintang troops rose up to resist on the frontal battlefield. Pingxingguan victory, 100 regiment battles, tunnel warfare, mine warfare, sparrow warfare...... The Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the Anti-Japanese Armed Forces led by China [***] plunged the aggressors into the sea of people's war. Explosion hero Li Yong, female combat hero Lu Junjie, sharpshooter Li Dianshui. The national disaster is at the head, and there are many heroes. From Yang Jingyu, Peng Xuefeng, to Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, Hao Mengling...... Whether it is a member of the Kuomintang or a patriotic general in the Kuomintang, behind every name, there is a heroic story that can be sung and cried; Every story is a heart-wrenching patriotic song. Ordinary and great characters. They embody the Chinese nation's heroic and tenacious national spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice. It is this spirit that ensures the reading power and liberation of the whole nation. Under the joint leadership of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Chinese nation will not only be able to defeat any foreign aggression, but will also overcome all difficulties and dangers to achieve the great rejuvenation of the nation. Speaking of this, Han Yunhua eased his expression, calmed down his excitement, and continued to say in that tragic voice: "As Chairman Jiang said: The Chinese nation is a foreign policy that loves peace and is a national political axe, and has always advocated self-existence at home and coexistence abroad. Since we are a weak country, if we come to the last moment, we will have to fight for the life of the whole nation in order to survive the country; At that time, we will no longer be allowed to compromise halfway, and we must know that the conditions for compromise in the middle are the conditions for the whole surrender and the whole destruction. The people of the whole country must most clearly understand the significance of the so-called last moment, and when the last moment comes, we can only win the final victory by sacrificing to the end, resisting the war to the end, and "only by sacrificing to the end". If you are uncertain and want to be safe, you will fall into a land of no return! Now that we are united to resist the brutal invaders, the great unity and alliance under the banner of patriotism is not only the primary prerequisite for the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, but also an important guarantee for the realization of national rejuvenation. The arduous ordeal cannot crush the Chinese people; A brutal enemy can only arouse the heroic spirit of the Chinese nation to fight to the death. History is silent, and the spirit is immortal. There is no doubt that the war of resistance will be won, and at the same time, it is also a major turning point for the Chinese nation from decay to rejuvenation...... "The hour-long passionate speech made the entire venue indignant, and everyone's hearts were ignited with an inextinguishable flame of resistance. When Han Yunhua bowed and saluted, everyone in the venue unconsciously stood up and gave warm applause to the young general of the Eighth Route Army.

Han Yunhua didn't plan to say much, he was just going to go up and say a few words, but he didn't expect that it would be an hour and a half. Standing on the stage, Han Yunhua didn't feel that he had said much, but when he realized that he had occupied this stage for a full hour and a half, Han Yunhua himself felt incredible.

After Han Yunhua's speech, he answered reporters' questions as usual. The first question was asked by a reporter from Xinhua Daily: "General Han, how do you think the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will develop?" Can China achieve a total victory? ”

"At the present stage, the national contradiction in China has risen to the main contradiction in society, and the class contradiction in the country has fallen to a secondary contradiction!! With the addition of [***] propaganda -- the united front of the anti-Japanese nation and the peaceful settlement of the Xi'an Incident, the KMT has a basis for cooperation. At the critical juncture, heavy thinking about the future and destiny of the nation has scorched the hearts of the Chinese. At the critical moment, the chairman of our party [***] concentrated the wisdom of the whole party to write important works such as "On Protracted War", which systematically expounded the line of all-round all-people war of resistance and the general strategic principle of protracted war, and pointed out the correct path for the victory of the war of resistance. Han Yunhua's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of incomparably firm conviction, and very infectious.

The second question was asked by a foreign correspondent: "I am the correspondent of the Times of London in the British Empire, and I want to ask General Han what evidence do you have that you will definitely be able to defeat Yuben?" You must know how powerful they are now, their navy is very famous in the world, and their political system and domestic situation are much better than that of China now, and I can't see the slightest sign of victory in China now. ”

Han Yunhua's expression was still so calm, and his voice was firm and powerful: "Just like what Chairman Jiang said in his speech in Lushan: If it really comes to the inevitable last moment, of course we only have sacrifice, only the War of Resistance!" But our attitude is only to fight, not to fight; Responding to war is to deal with the last moment, because we are a weak country, and because it is our national policy to support peace, we must not seek war; Although we are a weak country, we cannot but maintain the life of our nation and cannot live up to the historical responsibilities left to us by our ancestors. As for the fact that there is no war after that, because we are a weak country, there is no chance of compromise, and if we give up our land and sovereignty, we will be the sinners of the Chinese nation through the ages! At that time, we will have to fight for the lives of the whole nation and seek our final victory. We have the historical responsibility to win, and we also have the strength to win. It is true that our overall strength is far inferior to that of the Chronicles, but I do not think that we will definitely resist the invasion of the Scriptures. Looking at the so-called continental policy formulated by the political axe, the goal is not only China, but also the areas that it wanted to rule and colonize include Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even Northeast Asia. I think that with the expansion of the book, the final outcome will inevitably be a group attack, and perhaps there will be the participation of Britain, the United States, France, the Soviet Union and other countries at that time. Mr. Reporter, don't be in a hurry to justify anything, time will tell, you just take this as a prophecy of mine, whether it can be fulfilled or not, let time prove it itself, right? ”
