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 of the committee has won the award, "Han Yunhua doesn't dare to get too close to this performance, otherwise he will 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 high-ranking officials of the national government, and it was the first time that he had face-to-face talks with the elites of the country.

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, but fortunately, the officers and men of our three armies used their lives to force the Japanese invaders to lose half a step forward. In this battle, our army inflicted heavy losses on the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, completely annihilated two divisions and regiments under its command, severely damaged one division and one brigade (Potian Detachment), and almost completely annihilated its Third Fleet of the Navy, and severely damaged 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 present at the meeting had suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Japanese army, and some of them had been chased by a wing of the Japanese army and fled for their lives from division to division. Even Li Zongren, Chen Cheng and others, who have heavy troops, have had such an experience, and now that the Japanese army has been defeated, there is still 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 we must not forget that 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 Japanese army, and it is certainly unexpected and reasonable for our army to achieve such a great victory in this battle. 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 Independent 77th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army of the National ** Army is the primary meritorious unit for the victory of the Battle of Wuhan, and the Independent 77th Brigade is hereby upgraded to the Independent 77th Division, under the jurisdiction of the 88th Regiment, 99th Regiment, 77th Regiment, Independent Cavalry Regiment, Artillery Regiment, Engineer Regiment, Guard Battalion and other troops, and the Independent 77th Division is the B Division of the National Government, with a full strength of 9,123 people. Han Yunhua was appointed as the commander of the 77th Independent Division, with the rank of lieutenant general of the National ** Army, and awarded Han Yunhua the first-class Blue Sky and White Sun Medal and the first-class Baoding Medal............ "Every time Han Yunhua thinks that Chiang Kai-shek will award the first merit of the Wuhan Battle to the Independent 77th Brigade this time, you must know that with Chiang Kai-shek's famous character 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 rewards for the other participating troops in the Battle of Wuhan, and decided to ... Honours of meritorious persons at the Government Auditorium.

After reading out the commendation order, Chiang Kai-shek said in a sad voice: "Resisting Japan is a major event for the Chinese nation and the country, 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 Japanese invaders shouted for three months to die in China's dream, Taierzhuang, Saibei, Wuhan and other battles of our army also achieved brilliant results, to the Japanese army heavy casualties, but our army losses are also extremely heavy since the start of the war almost every month there are senior generals martyred, this year our army sacrificed senior generals are: 29th Army Deputy Commander General Tong Linge (posthumously), 132nd Division Commander General Zhao Dengyu (posthumously), 9th Army Commander General Hao Mengling, 54th Division Commander Lieutenant General Liu Jiaqi, 67th Army Commander Lieutenant General Wu Keren, 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 appear 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 to resist Japan before the war.

"Artillery is inferior to man, education and training are inferior to man, machines are inferior to man, factories are inferior to man, what can be used to fight Japan with Japan? If you resist Japan, you will be destroyed in three days at most. ”

"Now that the government has brought the case before the Executive Council of the League of Nations, pending a resolution of justice, it has strictly ordered all the troops to avoid conflict with Japan, and has unanimously warned the people to maintain a solemn and calm attitude."

"If Japan can guarantee the integrity of China's eighteen provinces, then the Nationalist Government may agree to negotiate with Japan, or it may offer to cede Northeast China 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 unanimous suppression of bandits, for the long-term peace and stability of the country, for the establishment of a deep-rooted foundation, we can not help but eliminate this henchman, if at this time is just too ambitious, extravagant talk about anti-Japanese resistance, but not seek truth from facts, to eliminate bandits, that is opportunistic...... 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, Japan cannot be our enemy, and we in China must join hands with Japan."

"Those who talk extravagantly about the anti-Japanese will be killed."

The current Chairman Chiang was really forced by the Japanese army, and seeing that the Japanese army understood that this was coming at him and Jiang someone from the Nationalist Government, and if he did not resist the Japanese, he would have to sit back and wait for death, so Chairman Chiang would 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 Nationalist Government's War of Resistance was one-sided and did not fully mobilize the broadest masses of the people, the role played by the Nationalist Government was unquestionable. If it weren't for the Nationalist Government 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 erase the merits of the Nationalist Government, after the correction of the later governments, 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 single effort of that party, but the result of the efforts of all the people, including both the Nationalist Government and the local armed forces led by the people.

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 was not a single battalion of the Eighth Route Army comparable to such a configuration, but even most of the troops of the Nationalist Government could not 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 straightened his posture, 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.
