Chapter 1612 Speech on the Journey to the North

A.D. August 7, 1938, Xiangxi, Qiancheng West Daying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stand upright! Gun...... Upper shoulder! ”

Amid the loud commands, groups of soldiers in camouflage uniforms neatly carried their semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles with bayonets on their shoulders, and the expressions on everyone's faces were so serious.

"Very good, the formation is neat and the morale is high! Weapons...... The Zhongzheng Type 3 semi-automatic rifle and the Type I automatic rifle have advanced and reliable performance, combined with submachine guns, rocket launchers, general-purpose machine guns and mortars, which can build a fire blockade network from near and far! ”

An Yi said to Zhang Hongluan and Shi Zhen beside him.

I automatic rifle, has been authorized to produce in Xiangxi military factory, but in principle, this type of automatic rifle is only for the use of the Anjia army, the national government and local warlords ordered, most of them are still Zhongzheng one-type full-manual rifle and two-type semi-automatic rifle, for the financially stretched Nanjing government, although the automatic firepower is good, but too wasteful of bullets, in the case of logistics can not be effectively guaranteed, automatic rifles are automatically filtered.

Zhang Hongluan said complacently: "Now our daily training is basically in accordance with the standards set by Deng Bin here back then, and the time is full every day, ideological and political study is held every week, and the grassroots officers are basically graduates of the Syrian non-commissioned officer school, and there will be no problems in terms of combat effectiveness!" Now that the equipment is up, I am worried about the logistical supply of the troops, after all, as soon as the guns go off, the money will go out like flowing water, especially in Central Asia, where there is no logistical supply, which is even more worrying. ”

An Yi explained: "This is also the reason why we are building a large-scale airship formation! Previously, our supplies were supplied by sea to the port of Vladivostok by sea on giant cargo ships, and then transported by the Trans-Siberian Railway, but with the Japanese occupation of the Far East, one of our most important sources of supplies has been cut off. Later, we tried to find a way on the Mongolian side, but Mongolia's neighboring Shaanxi, Gansu and Qingjiang regions were not rich in products, so we could only rely on self-reliance.

"At present, we have sent a large number of high-yield corn, potato and sweet potato seeds to Mongolia and the liberated and consolidated areas of Central Asia, and planted rice and wheat in the dense areas of the river network, as long as the Soviet army on the southern front is solved as soon as possible, and he will not be hungry for another two or three months, after all, there are less than five million people in the whole of Central Asia, and these four million square kilometers of land, according to the statistics of the Soviet Union, the cultivated area of which has reached 32.41 million hectares, which is equivalent to 1/4 of the total cultivated land area in China, The grassland area is 250 million hectares, equivalent to 62.54% of China's, as long as it is reasonably developed, there will be no large-scale food shortage!

"Therefore, in the short term, we need to be fed, but in the long run, as long as we really occupy it, Central Asia can provide us with a lot of food. The only thing to worry about now is the supply of weapons and ammunition, which is why Yang Jiuxiao's corps is actively moving north. Yesterday evening, Beard had transferred an army group to the city of Tatarsk (now Balabinsk) in the Barabin steppe of Western Siberia to help guard the important junction of the West Siberian Railway and to buy valuable time for the relocation of factories and enterprises in Western Siberia and the Urals to the hinterland of Central Asia. As long as I have these industrial facilities, coupled with the abundant mineral resources of Central Asia itself, I am confident that I will continue the war by using materials in situ. ”

Shi Zhen asked in surprise: "I heard that the Japanese army dispatched twenty armies in one go, can we block the Japanese army's westward path?" ”

"I can only do my best to settle the destiny of heaven!"

An Yi said solemnly: "The Japanese army did not transfer troops to Western Siberia in one go, after all, railway transportation resources are limited, and they are now investing at most four or five armies on the front line. Just yesterday, Yang Jiuxiao's Li Jun's 46th Motorized Infantry Division completely annihilated a main brigade of the Japanese army, and I estimate that the Japanese army base camp is having a headache at this time! ”

"Li Jun?"

Shi Zhen thought for a while, the image of a young man appeared in his mind, and said with a smile: "If there is no problem with my memory, he should be your student!" Sure enough, I inherited your true biography! ”

"This kid is smart, he often draws inferences, and he is a general!"

An Yi couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes: "He made many meritorious contributions in the three-year Great Wall War of Resistance and last year's North China War against Japan, and after the Battle of Shanxi this year, he followed Yang Jiuxiao to Mongolia to train the new army. This morning, the headquarters has announced the award! ”

Zhang Hongluan sighed and said: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!" At present, most of the young people in our military and political system are in their twenties and thirties, and it is precisely when they have the spirit of dedication and momentum, and it is precisely because of their existence that they continue to push our cause forward! We must also continue to learn in order to keep up with the pace of development, otherwise we will be eliminated! ”

During the conversation, more than 60,000 officers and men from 20 regiments of the three divisions of the Xiangxi Guard Army and the four divisions of the Xiangxi Guard Army, all of which were lined up on the school ground.

An Yi strode onto the high platform, came to the microphone, looked around the stage with majestic eyes, and said loudly:

"Brothers, I am An Yi! Today, you are standing here, about to embark on the journey to the north, I have come to visit you and see you off! The motherland and the people are looking forward to the day when you return! Maybe you want to say, what happened thousands of miles away has nothing to do with us, what is worth our blood and sacrifice? Here I want to tell you that you are not fighting for my peace, nor for yourselves, but for the tomorrow of our people, who groaned in pain in humiliation!

"Since the end of the Opium War, the pride of our nation, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is gone! The imperialists ride on our necks to make a fortune, they have taken millions of square kilometers of our land, and they have trampled on our dignity at will, the dignity of a people with a glorious history in the world, once the master of the world! Tell me, do you choose to be a fighter for freedom, or a slave? You may say that all we need is a minimum right to exist. Yes, you're right, survival is so important, but I'm going to tell you today that there's one thing in the world that's more important than survival, and that's freedom! That's dignity!

"As long as the land left to us by our ancestors is not complete, and the national flags and military flags of other countries are still flying over Central Asia, Siberia, the Far East, Northeast China, North China, the Ryukyus, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the northern part of the Indian Peninsula, our dignity will not exist! As long as the Japanese, the Soviets, the British, and even the humble Indians run rampant on our soil, our dignity will not exist! As long as this country called China is fragmented and weakened on the map of Asia, our dignity will not exist! As long as people from other countries let out a contemptuous laugh when they say the word Chinese in a chat, our dignity does not exist!

"We need more than just a full stomach! It's a living space! A living space for a nation! This living space is not achieved by begging and protesting, but by iron and blood! When others bully us, even the weakest nations come to trample on us, we will only cry: We express strong indignation and protest, such people have no bones! Such a person is lowly! We should make the enemy tremble with the deafening sound of the cannon! We should crush their dignity, their lives, and let them know that we are not a bunch of cowards who only know how to protest!

"I want our soldiers to remember: a country that only knows how to protest is a country without bones! A government that only knows how to protest is a government without bones! When our dignity, territory, and living space have been trampled on, we don't need to shamelessly protest against the local government! You'll abandon them eventually! And I, An Yi, solemnly promise hereby that I will never make that kind of senseless protest, and I will lead you to recover the lost land of the motherland in the past hundred years and restore the glory of your ancestors!

"Perhaps many of you will ask, why not start with North China and Northeast China, and start with Central Asia, which is far away from us? Let me tell you, there is a question of timing. It is not that we do not want to recover North China and Northeast China, but we must make the right choice at the right time. Now that the Far East, Siberia, and Central Asia are in chaos, we can recover the things of our ancestors in such a chaotic situation, which is not conspicuous and can obtain the greatest benefits; on the contrary, if we ignore the reality and start from North China and Northeast China, and when we recover these homelands, we suddenly look back and find that Central Asia, Siberia, and the Far East have been run by people so solid that water cannot be poured in, we just pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons. As long as we regain the lost lands of our ancestors in Central Asia, Siberia and the Far East, we can slowly plot against North China and Northeast China, anyway, those lands will not fly, and they have always been the land of China since ancient times, and we have time to get them back! Fight for what we may lose first, and then try for what we cannot lose, and we can get the maximum benefit!

"Not only the place I said above, in the future, as long as it is land that once belonged to the Chinese, I will lead you to take it back, not our Chinese place, as long as he commits unforgivable crimes against our Chinese people, I will also lead you to destroy them!" Take their territory to occupy! We must lay a thousand-year-old foundation for our country and nation, this is my goal and the direction in which you will forge ahead!

"If there is a day when I, An Yi, rush to the forefront with the banner of our army and die bravely, I will enter the fairy world with a smile! I will meet those glorious ancestors of the Chinese nation, I can walk up to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor with my head held high, and proudly say to him: I, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, have not disgraced you, and I shed the last drop of blood for the rise of the great Chinese nation! We don't fight for enslavement! We fight for freedom! We are not machines, we are not cows and horses, we are people! It's the Chinese who have never succumbed!

"Brethren, you are fighting for a new, fair world by going north! Fight for everyone in the Chinese nation to have a job! Fight for those who enslaved us to get out of the land left to us by our ancestors! Fight because we don't need to shout and protest all day long! Fight for our dignity! Fight for our promises! Fight for the liberation of this country! We fight for the glory of our ancestors! For our children and grandchildren to be able to proudly proclaim: we are Chinese who never give in! ”

After An Yi finished speaking, he solemnly saluted a military salute, and the audience suddenly burst into stormy applause, and every soldier was full of blood and red, eager to rush to the battlefield and fight the enemy desperately at this moment.

In the neat queue, the political cadres took the opportunity to shout: "Long live An Jiajun!" Long live the Chinese nation! Long live freedom! This cathartic slogan quickly resonated, and the entire camp in the west of Qiancheng was filled with this exciting shout.

After a long time, the school field finally quieted down, and Wei Yangxin, the commander of the guard army, announced that the team had started and marched towards the airship base outside the city.

Fifty airships that have been urgently gathered from various places are already waiting there, and in the next month, they will send the Xiangxi Army and the Qianxi Army and the Dian Army, which arrived by train, to Central Asia, greatly enriching the strength of the squadron.
