Chapter 188: The Perfect Speech of the Battle of Wuhan (1)

"Where, where is the chairman's praise Yun Hua is ashamed, Gan Luo is twelve years old and pays homage to the prime minister. Sun Zhongmou's younger brother inherited his brother's business to take charge of the hegemony of Wu State, and Yunhua was just a reckless man, how could he be compared with such a heroic man. The chairman has won the award! "Han Yunhua didn't dare to get too close to this performance, otherwise he would suffer in the future.

Chiang Kai-shek thought that Han Yunhua was hating the death of Han's father, and he didn't want to say more about him, the enemy who killed his father, so he behaved so coldly. didn't say much at the moment, beckoned Vice Chairman Zhou and Han Yunhua into the conference room, and he wanted to talk to the elites of these countries. In the past, he had only discussed this issue with some senior officials of the National Political Axe, and for the first time he had face-to-face talks with the elites of [***].

There were already many people in the conference room, in addition to Xue Yue, who had to be present, there were He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Luo Zhuoying, Chen Shaokuan and others. After entering the conference room, Chiang Kai-shek motioned for Vice Chairman Zhou and Han Yunhua to sit down, then got up and said: "The three towns of Wuhan are not easy to defend. In this battle, our army inflicted heavy losses on the 11th Army of the Chinese Army, completely annihilating two divisions and regiments under its jurisdiction, severely damaging one division and one brigade (Potian Detachment), and almost completely annihilating the Third Fleet of the Navy, and inflicting heavy losses on the rebuilt Third Fleet. Before Chiang Kai-shek's words were finished, there was warm applause below, which lasted for a long time.

Chiang Kai-shek stopped, took a sip of water, and looked at the reaction of the crowd. Li Zongren, Xue Yue, Zhang Fakui and other generals who came from afar took a long breath when they heard this, and a smile finally appeared on their tense faces.

Everyone's smile today is a heartfelt, genuine smile. Most of the generals who attended the meeting had suffered great losses at the hands of the Yue army, and some of them had been chased by a wing of the Yue army and fled for their lives from division to army. Even Li Zongren, Chen Cheng and others, who have heavy troops, have had such an experience, and now that the army has been defeated, there is no reason to be unhappy.

The venue was a lot more relaxed, and someone whispered. Chiang Kai-shek seemed to be inspired, and he was even more energetic, and he gushed endlessly, "You can imagine that if our army fights in the three towns, the war will inevitably affect the urban area, and the political and economic importance of Wuhan will be lost. In the besieged city, our army is also like a turtle in an urn. Nanjing's lesson is not far away, and it must not be forgotten! Therefore, if Wuhan wants to fight, it must fight in the distance, and the strategy is correct. In a nutshell, it is the best policy to defend Wuhan instead of fighting in Wuhan. Facts have proved that our strategy is more clever than that of the army, both land and water, and it is certainly unexpected and reasonable for our army to achieve such a great victory in this battle, and now I would like to read out the decision of the Central Military Commission on the reward of meritorious troops and individuals in the Battle of Wuhan. Chiang Kai-shek swept the crowd with his eyes, and said mysteriously: "You may not know, this time in order to reward these meritorious troops, the country has made a great blood. As he spoke, he turned to everyone and said loudly: "Order: The 77th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army is the primary meritorious unit for the victory of the Battle of Wuhan, and the 77th Brigade of Reading is hereby upgraded to the 77th Division of Reading Force, under the jurisdiction of the 88th Regiment, 99th Regiment, 77th Regiment, Reading Cavalry Regiment, Artillery Regiment, Engineer Regiment, Guard Battalion and other troops, and Reading 77th Division is the National Political Axe Division, with a full strength of 9,123 people. Appointed Han Yunhua as the commander of the 77th Division of Reading Power, with the rank of Lieutenant General of the National Revolutionary Army, and awarded Han Yunhua the first-class Qingtian Baiyue Medal and the first-class Baoding Medal............ "Every time Han Yunhua thought that Chiang Kai-shek would award the first merit of the Wuhan Battle to the 77th Brigade of Reading Power this time, you must know that with Chiang Kai-shek's famous surname of protecting his shortcomings, it is really hard to believe that he has such a mind. Moreover, even if Chiang Kai-shek gave the first credit to Xue Yue and Han Yunhua this time, he would definitely not think that there was anything wrong with what Chiang Kai-shek did, after all, if there were no millions of Kuomintang troops on the periphery of Wuhan, there would definitely be no later big victory.

Subsequently, Chiang Kai-shek successively read out the awards for the other units that participated in the Battle of Wuhan, and decided to award medals to those who had made meritorious contributions at 3 o'clock this afternoon in the Political Axe Auditorium.

After reading out the commendation order, Chiang Kai-shek said in a sad voice: "Resistance is a major event for the Chinese nation and the state, and since the beginning of the war, although we have suffered great losses, even the capital of the country has been lost, and 80 percent of the country's industrial concentration areas have also fallen, but we have survived the most difficult time. The dream of China being destroyed in three months, Taierzhuang, Saibei, Wuhan and other battles, our army also achieved brilliant results, and the army suffered heavy casualties, but our army also suffered extremely heavy losses Since the beginning of the war, there have been senior generals who have been martyred almost every month, and the senior generals who have sacrificed their lives in this year are: General Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army (posthumously), General Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, General Hao Mengling, commander of the 9th Army, Lieutenant General Liu Jiaqi, commander of the 54th Division, Lieutenant General Wu Keren, commander of the 67th Army, Major General Gao Zhi, commander of the 172nd Division, Lieutenant General Xia Guozhang, deputy commander of the 172nd Division, Lieutenant General Wu Guozhang, deputy commander of the 75th Division, General Rao Guohua, commander of the 145th Division, Lieutenant General Xiao Shanling, deputy commander of the military police, Major General Yao Zhongying, chief of staff of the 156th Division, Major General Situ Fei, chief of staff of the 160th Division, Lieutenant General Liu Zhendong, commander of the Second Route Guerrilla Commander of the Fifth Theater, General Wang Mingzhang, commander of the 122nd Division, Major General Zou Shaomeng, chief of staff of the 124th Division, Major General Zhao Weibin, chief of staff of the 122nd Division, Major General Fan Tinglan, chief of the Fifth Corps of the Northern Henan Special Forces, Major General Liu Guiwu, commander of the 6th Cavalry Division, Lieutenant General Zhou Yuan, deputy commander of the 173rd Division, and Lieutenant General Li Bifan, commander of the 23rd Division. Maybe tomorrow you will be on the list of sacrifices, but as a soldier, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life for the country........."

Chiang Kai-shek's generous speech did not touch Han Yunhua much, but Han Yunhua knew how Chiang Kai-shek responded to the demands of all walks of life before the war.

"Artillery is inferior to man, education and training are inferior to man, machine is inferior to man, factory is inferior to man, what can be used to fight with the book? If you resist it, you will lose your country in three days at most. ”

"Now that the case has been brought before the Executive Council of the League of Nations, pending a resolution of justice, the whole [***] team has been strictly ordered to avoid conflict, and the people have also been unanimously warned to maintain a solemn and calm attitude."

"If the Instinct can guarantee the integrity of the eighteen provinces in China, then the Nationalist Axe may agree to negotiate with the Lord, or may offer to cede the Northeast without damaging the dignity of our country."

"China died in imperialism, and we can still be slaves of the country, and we can still survive; If you die in [***], you will not be able to get it even if you are willing to be a slave. ”

"At this moment, our people must be unanimous, first with justice against power, with peace against barbarism, with humiliation and indignation, and temporarily adopt an attitude of resignation and resignation, pending the judgment of international justice."

"We must concentrate on the suppression of bandits, for the long-term peace and stability of the country, and for the establishment of a deep-rooted foundation for the revolution, and we cannot but eliminate this problem of henchmen...... No matter how much criticism and slander are made from the outside, we always take the first step in clearing out the bandits inside as the only priority, if not, it is putting the cart before the horse, and then turning it upside down. ”

"There is no need to worry about foreign bandits, internal bandits are really a problem for henchmen, if you do not eliminate internal bandits, you must not resist foreign insults." "After all, we cannot be our enemy, and we in China must join hands with it."

"Those who speak extravagantly will be killed."

The current Chairman Jiang is just really forced by the Yue Army, and seeing that the Yue Army understands that this is coming at him Jiang with a national political axe, and if he does not resist, he will have to sit back and wait for death, so Chairman Jiang will behave so heroically. I think about how he lost the three northeastern provinces in the first place, and how he disbanded the 200,000 Northeast Army. Therefore, Han Yunhua just listened to Chiang Kai-shek's speech or incitement, and he Han Yunhua was absolutely unambiguous when it was time to fight, but there was no need to be bewitched by him Chiang Kai-shek.

In Vice Chairman Zhou's view, Chiang Kai-shek's performance during this period was quite good, and he was a patriotic person. Although the War of Resistance of the National Political Axe was one-sided and did not fully mobilize the broadest masses of the people, the role played by the National Political Axe is beyond doubt. If it weren't for the fact that the national political axe was on the frontal battlefield, it would have been impossible for the Eighth Route Army to open up a second battlefield behind enemy lines.

Although there are some people in the party who intentionally or unintentionally obliterate the merits of the national political axe, after the correction of the political axe of later generations, Han Yunhua still sees this relatively clearly, and the reason why the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was able to achieve victory was not the result of the efforts of a single party, but the result of the efforts of all the people, including both the national political axe and the local armed forces led by [***].

Han Yunhua is a real person with flesh and blood and feelings, just like he blatantly protected Han Yunqian, and let her be promoted to the commander of the reinforced battalion in less than a year after joining the army, although it is nothing compared to Li Dayong and others being promoted to brigade commander and regiment commander in a year, but Han Yunhua knows that he is protecting Yunqian, and it is good to be a company commander with Yunqian's qualifications, and the battalion commander is already very out of place for a girl. In order to make Yun Qian a good battalion commander, Han Yunhua's configuration of the guard battalion can be called extravagant, the deputy battalion commander is a master who is good at positional offensive and defensive warfare, and the chief of staff is an old Red Army who has gone through the Long March, and he is very good at fighting guerrillas. The soldiers are all veterans who have actually seen bloody killings, and there is also a squad of special forces. Not only is not a single battalion of the Eighth Route Army comparable to such a configuration, but even most of the troops of the National Political Axe cannot be compared with it.

Although Han Yunhua will not show all his joys, sorrows, and sorrows on his face, he is a person who will never bear when he is angry, if the devil provokes him, he will kill the devil, what about the prisoner, when you are a prisoner, you should know the rules, the prisoner is the loser, and the loser has no right to negotiate conditions, whether you are an ordinary soldier or a lieutenant general, don't put on a score when you are a prisoner, otherwise you will still be killed. Although Han Yunhua did not order the troops to kill prisoners, the current habit of the Inner Mongolia Military Region is to directly execute them as long as they do not completely surrender, leaving absolutely no future trouble.

Chiang Kai-shek talked endlessly above, Han Yunhua listened drowsy below, and finally waited until there was applause below, Han Yunhua cheered up and put his posture right, he knew that this time marked the end of the meeting, and it was easy for people to see that he was in a state of personal disgrace, but he must not discredit [***] and the entire Eighth Route Army.
