Section 1 Bow Pull IV
The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, Rushing, Section 1, Bow Pull
After the plane circled over Wuhan for a while, it slowly landed at Wangjiadun Airport, and the military and political officials who had been waiting at the airport for a long time stood respectfully on the tarmac; when Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling got off the plane, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, Zhuang Jihua, and Lin Wei, who were standing in front of the queue, met them. //。 ǒm/
Chiang Kai-shek's interest was very high, and he talked and laughed with Chen Cheng and Zhuang Jihua, obviously he knew that Zhuang Jihua came with illness, and asked Zhuang Jihua about his body with great concern, compared to Song Meiling's concern was more natural and cordial.
A few people chatted very easily on the tarmac, and Chiang Kai-shek met with the senior generals present, but he soon found that there were only nine high-ranking generals here, and only Zhuang Jihua came to the fifth theater.
"Cultural Revolution, what are you busy with in the five war zones?" After discovering this problem, Chiang Kai-shek asked Zhuang Jihua.
"After this war, our theater suffered great losses from the local to the army, and the troops had to rest and recuperate on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to assist the local authorities in post-war reconstruction. Zhuang Jihua explained.
Chiang Kai-shek nodded thoughtfully, he turned his head and asked Chen Cheng: "Resignation, are the losses in the Ninth and Third Theaters large?" ”
"The three war zones are still unclear, the ninth war zone is mainly the Heshengqiao area, and the losses in this area are very large, almost all of them have been destroyed, and there are more than 100,000 refugees." When Chen Cheng answered, Xue Yue nodded frequently beside him.
The Ninth Theater is not the main battlefield, the Japanese army only resisted at the Tingsi Bridge and the Hesheng Bridge, the main battlefield is at the Hesheng Bridge, and all the surrounding areas of the Hesheng Bridge have been destroyed, but it is only this area, unlike the Fifth Theater, whether it is the scope of the battlefield, or the cruelty of the battle, and the complexity of the organization, it is far beyond the Ninth Theater.
"I took a look at it above, and the extent of the damage in Hankou in Hanyang is also very large," Chiang Kai-shek said in a deep voice: "Resign, let Guo Yan serve as the commander of the Wuhan garrison, organize manpower, rescue refugees on the one hand, and resume production on the other." ”
"Principal," without waiting for Chen Cheng to answer, Zhuang Jihua spoke first, and Chen Cheng's face changed suddenly: "Guo Yan is completely competent as the commander of the garrison, but to resume production, it is absolutely not enough for Guo Yan alone, the students suggest that the Resources Committee organize experts to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Wuhan and draw up a reconstruction plan." ”
Chen Cheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Chiang Kai-shek was a little hesitant, and Song Meiling interjected at this time: "Daling, let's go into the city to have a look, after four years, we can finally return to Wuhan." ”
Song Meiling's tone was full of excitement, Guangzhou was given up by the Japanese army on its own initiative, but Wuhan was not, it was won by hard fighting, which made Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling especially proud.
"Mr. Wilkie, General Bryan, you arrived in Wuhan before me." Chiang Kai-shek was in a happy mood, and joked by the way: "I looked at it in the Fifth War Zone, what do you think?" ”
"Very good, better than I imagined," Wilkie said in a diplomatic manner: "Although I did not watch the whole battle, I saw the future of the War of Resistance in the people of your country, and I must say that the society of your country is not as loose as I have heard before, but what I have seen in the five theaters is completely different, and I am very confident in the future of your country's War of Resistance." ”
"Hehe," Chiang Kai-shek laughed out loud in public, his hands on his hips, and he laughed lightly: "The reconquest of Wuhan is the beginning of our counteroffensive, Mr. Wilkie, and we will continue to attack the Japanese until we drive all the Japanese out of our territory." ”
"General Bryan, we are very grateful for the work of the U.S. Army Advisory Group." Soong Meiling appropriately expressed her gratitude to Brian so that he would not feel left out: "We hope that China and the United States will unite to jointly deal with Japanese militarism." ”
"That's what I want, too." Brian was very polite, but his heart couldn't help but roll, and the little news that Wilkie revealed yesterday had already made him creepy.
Wangjiadun Airport is not far from Hankou City, and the convoy entered Hankou City shortly after leaving the airport, which is completely different from the airport. Although Hankow was devastated, two-thirds of the city's houses were destroyed and the streets were desolate.
But at this moment, a large number of people gathered on both sides of the road, and the ruins were flooded with surging people, blue sky and white sun flags and flowers. The unfallen telephone poles, the broken roofs, were crawling everywhere, and when the convoy appeared in the streets, the crowd immediately surged and cheered.
Flowers were thrown on the carriage, and several bold female students rushed through the cordon formed by the soldiers and planted the national flag on the leading car, which startled Hu Lian, who was in charge of the vigilance, and hurriedly told the troops through the intercom.
Flower petals and ribbons slowly fell from the air, spreading all over the kilometers, and the tsunami-like "Long live Chairman Jiang" resounded through the three towns of Wuhan.
Looking at the scene outside the car window, Chiang Kai-shek was full of satisfaction and pride, and suddenly, he ordered the driver to stop, then pushed the car door and walked out of the car.
The convoy stopped suddenly, Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, and Zhuang Jihua came out of the car one after another, and the faces of several senior officers turned white.
Chen Cheng complained repeatedly, and hurriedly asked Wang Shihe to lead people to form a circular defense line around Chiang Kai-shek, and asked Hu Lian to personally lead people to build a defense line on the periphery, and then hurried to Chiang Kai-shek's side, at this time Xue Yue and Zhuang Jihua had already squeezed to Chiang Kai-shek's side with their guards, forming a close defense around him.
Seeing Chiang Kai-shek get out of the car, the citizens who greeted him suddenly became even more fanatical, and the crowd rushed forward at once, and the soldiers on alert joined hands to stop them, but they still couldn't stop them, and they were squeezed back step by step by the crowd.
"Long live Chairman Chiang"
"Hooray"
"Fight to the end"
"The War of Resistance Will Be Won"
The sound was higher and higher, Chiang Kai-shek's heart was full of joy, and he frequently waved to the surrounding citizens, Song Meiling stood beside him, looking forward to all directions, extremely noble, and she felt extremely proud at this moment.
For half an hour, the group only walked forward 500 meters, the people's emotions became more and more excited, the cordon repeatedly retreated, Zhuang Jihua, Chen Cheng and Xue Yue all felt wrong, Lin Wei asked Wang Shihe to lead people to forcibly put Chiang Kai-shek on the car, Hu Lian personally commanded a company of soldiers who were urgently transferred in front, stopped the crowd to death, and let the car pass.
"Chairman, you can't do anything like this in the future, it's too dangerous." Chen Cheng sat in the passenger seat, sweating on his forehead, and seemed to be still in shock.
"Hehe, isn't that fine?" Chiang Kai-shek's smile was very straightforward, his actions today were very exceptional, in the past he did not like this kind of disorderly occasions, but recently, everything is going well, everything is satisfactory to him, so he made this outrageous move.
"Chairman of the Committee, Wuhan has just been recovered, and there are still many hidden devil spies or hardcore traitors during this period, which is really too risky." Chen Cheng shook his head and said.
"Actually, that's fine," Song Meiling was wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead with a snow-white handkerchief: "The people of Wuhan are hoping to see the chairman of the committee, and the chairman's move is in line with the people's hopes." ”
In the car in the back, Zhuang Jihua and Lin Wei were also sweating profusely, Lin Wei's expression was very excited, but Zhuang Jihua just barely pretended to be excited, he didn't know if the people were also excited after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in his previous life.
"After the recovery of Wuhan, the jubilation, the Cultural Revolution, the prestige of our party, and the prestige of the chairman of the committee will be extremely high." Lin Wei looked at the celebratory crowd outside the car window, her expression still excited.
"Don't rejoice too soon." Zhuang Jihua leaned back in his chair and said in a very cold tone.
Lin Wei felt that his tone was wrong, turned his head to look, and said half-loudly, "What's wrong with you?" The tone is weird. ”
"The people have just been liberated from the slavery of the country, and the excitement is of course, but once this leakage is over, they will have to face food, clothing, and fighting, you see, the factories in Wuhan are probably half destroyed, and how many people are unemployed? How many houses are to be rebuilt? Brother Weiwen, this is just the beginning. ”
Lin Wei looked at the wreckage of the streets on both sides, and fell silent for a while, Zhuang Jihua said well, in order to maintain the people's leakage and worship, it is necessary to solve their problems of work, food, and clothing.
"It seems that Mr. Jiang still has the support of the Chinese people." In another car, Brian said to Wilkie,
Wilkie didn't answer, just silently looked at the cheering crowd on both sides.
The convoy crossed the river at the Hankou ferry and entered Wuchang, where the city was still crowded with people, and the cars were passing through the sea of flowers and the sound of long live, but Wuchang was obviously much better than Hankou and Hanyang, and there was much less destruction, and Lin Wei's heart was slightly relaxed.
After entering the Luojia Mountains, this has become a forbidden area, and Hu Lian transferred a brigade from the 11th Division to serve as a guard, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and the vigilance is heavy.
The convoy stopped in front of Anami's headquarters building, and Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling stood in front of the building, looking up at the building. The sun flag fluttering on the building in the past has now been replaced by a blue sky and white sun flag, and the sentinels on both sides of the door stand solemnly.
"This is Anan's headquarters?" Chiang Kai-shek was complacent.
"Yes, Chairman." Chen Cheng also showed satisfaction: "Now it's the Wuhan Garrison Command." ”
Lin Wei looked at Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Cheng, and then at Zhuang Jihua, who was looking up at the blue sky and white sun flag on the roof of the building, he sighed slightly, all this glory should have belonged to him.
"Chairman, please." Xue Yue stepped forward and made a gesture.
The building has long been tidied up, and the mess of Anan's hasty retreat has long disappeared, and the conference room, war room, and upstairs lounge are all neatly tied.
Chiang Kai-shek looked at the large map in the war room, took a deep breath, walked to the map, starting from Heilongjiang and Jilin, and looked down from province to province, Rehe, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Chahar, Suiyuan, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanxi, Zhejiang, and Henan.
The army is crisscrossing, and the iron horses are galloping; The 24th Group Army recovered Jiujiang, and the remnants of the 15th Division and the 68th Division withdrew from Jiujiang and retreated to Anqing; North of the Yangtze River, Toshima led the 3rd Division and the 2nd Mixed Brigade all the way east, through the southern foot of Dabie Mountain, withdrew to Qianshan, and guarded the north of Anqing.
Song Meiling slowly walked to his side, stood side by side with him, followed his gaze, all the way down, and said softly for a long time: "We can recover them." ”
