Li Kongrong woke up the next morning with a splitting headache, he was poured a lot of wine by everyone at yesterday's dinner, but what made him have a more headache was still to come, he was woken up by a shout in the morning, and when he got up and ordered the waiter to prepare breakfast, Zhou Yingcong and Zhong Qiangong, who got up before him, looked at him strangely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I didn't wash my face?" Looking at Zhou Yingcong's straight gaze, he asked puzzled.

"It's not!" Zhou Yingcong shook his head regretfully, and he opened the curtains outside with a 'swish', "Look, my great genius, now all the Chinese and half of the reporters in New York are outside!" ”

"What?!" Li Kongrong was drinking unpalatable American coffee, and as soon as the curtain was opened, there was a round of applause and even louder shouts outside. Through the window, he saw that the street outside the hotel was full of people like a bazaar, and the black pressure blocked the entire street, and after they finished applauding, they waved vigorously to Zhou Yingcong at the window, and those chaotic shouts quickly unified: "Colonel Li!" Colonel Lee! Colonel Lee......"

Li Kongrong had seen the enthusiasm of overseas Chinese yesterday, but now there were at least thousands of people outside, and the corners of the streets were full of people, and they suddenly appeared under the hotel, and I really don't know why. "What the hell is going on?" Li Kongrong was extremely surprised, he couldn't figure out how so many people had gathered in one night.

"What's going on?" Zhong Qiangong snickered, but Zhou Yingcong smiled bitterly, and he said earnestly: "My Colonel Li and Brother Hansheng, you old man really can't remember what you said last night?" ”

"Last night?" Li Kongrong was inexplicable, "Didn't you give a speech last night?" I, I'll just say the country. The soldiers were extremely heroic, and the Japanese soldiers took death as a relief......"

"What did you say before and after?" Zhou Yingcong shook his head vigorously and asked again.

"After that?" Li Kongrong patted his head, and he said, "Didn't everyone toast me after that, and I had to drink?" You know I can't drink, and you don't help me stop me, who brought me back last night? I ...... my clothes," Li Kongrong realized that he was wearing a set of pajamas provided by the hotel, "Who helped me change my clothes?" ”

"Haha......" Zhong Qiangong finally couldn't help laughing, and Zhou Yingcong also turned from a wry smile to a playful laugh, "Anyway, we didn't change it for you, think about who was closest to you last night, someone changed it for you?" ”

"People?!" Li Kongrong screamed, and he instantly remembered what Li Xiaqing came, she seemed to have talked a lot to him last night, and later, later, later......

"Don't think about it, you better say hello to your compatriots first and let them go back. You see this street is blocked, no one dares to live here, and the innkeeper is about to kick us out. Zhou Yingcong opened the window and pulled Li Kongrong over.

"I ......" Li Kongrong was wearing pajamas at this time, as soon as he appeared below, the shouting stopped, and after the head was connected, the shout of 'Colonel Li' was even louder, and a magnesium light flashed in front of the crowd. He waved his hand and stepped back.

"Why are so many overseas Chinese here?!" At this time, Li Kongrong found that there were more than a few thousand people below, tens of thousands of people must have been, the whole street was jammed, and he also saw the NYPD in police uniforms and a row of police cars, and it was their presence that the crowd did not pour into the hotel.

"You just found out!" Zhou Yingcong sighed. "You drank too much last night and started talking, what armored division, blitzkrieg, I really didn't expect Du Yuming to listen to your idea to form the 88th Armored Army. Hansheng, what is there that you don't know? He sighed and threw out two more newspapers, "Look at what you said last night." ”

The newspapers were all Chinese-language newspapers, and the three front pages were full of pictures of him, with long and scary headlines. "China's No. 1 Think Tank, ...... 160,000 Japanese Invaders Lost Their Lives", "An Unborn Military Wizard, Guiding and Organizing the World's Most Powerful Army......", "Defeat in 40 Days, the French Army is Actually Vulnerable...... "2,000 Days of Japan's Surrender, Our Country's Victory is the World's Victory......", "England Comes to an Ugly Ending, and the United States Dominates the World......"

The more Li Kongrong looked at the sweat on his forehead, just as he wanted to find a crack on the ground, there was a push outside the door, and under the obstruction of two Chinese in white clothes and Tang suits, Henry Luce poked his head out of the crack in the door with a red face and a crooked suit, and he saw that Li Kongrong was like being saved, and shouted violently, "Li ......"

Unexpectedly, there were still people standing guard outside the door, and under the greeting of Li Kongrong, Henry Luce entered the living room from the Tang costume man under the block, he wiped his sweat and said: "Li, you have to accept an interview with Time Magazine...... we said yesterday that we would cooperate with ......."

Lu Si was worried about the interview, but Li Kongrong was in a hurry to change his clothes and go out to visit overseas Chinese, and he put on the navy dress with the smell of wine last night, Li Kongrong said: "Yes, we will cooperate well, but I have to meet my compatriots now." ”

After Li Kongrong finished speaking, he asked Lu Si to sit in the living room for a while, of course Lu Si couldn't sit still, he went out with Li Kongrong and Zhou Yingcong. Out of the hotel, the crowd outside surged like a tide, but fortunately, the police and the Hongmen brothers narrowly stopped. Even so, only the overseas Chinese at the forefront can see themselves and think of this incomparably cordial compatriot. With the help of Zhong Qiangong, Li Kongrong broke through the crowd and walked to a Cadillac sedan on the side of the street, where he finally stood on the roof of the sedan.

"My dear compatriots, my compatriots who have suffered so much, my brothers and sisters: I know what you are worried about, but I just want to say: with you, with thousands of people who love the motherland as much as you do, we will win! Japan will definitely surrender! Taiwan will return!! ”

......What he said was Chinese, and the overseas Chinese present may not be able to fully understand it, but under some 'translators' who can understand people, the crowd was sluggish for a while before bursting into warm applause, and when everyone was only looking forward to driving the Japanese out of China and taking back the northeast, he shouted "Taiwan will definitely return." This sentence completely ignited people's enthusiasm like a fuse, and they jumped up and hugged each other with joy.

"Do not lament, let alone complain, my dear compatriots, remember: this is a great war!

From the late Qing Dynasty to the present, nearly a hundred years, China has never been so resolute in resisting foreign humiliation, before, we have always ceded the land for peace, have always grovelled, but now, we have to fight to the death with the Japanese!

From Xinhai to the present, in the past 27 years, China has never been so closely united, in the past, we have always been fighting for each other, often civil wars, but now, no matter where you are from, whether you are rich or poor, as long as you are the descendants of Yan and Huang, we are an inseparable whole.

This is not only a great war, but also a great era. My compatriots, who have suffered many calamities, please remember that war is God's verdict, and only with victory can China stand on its own feet among the nations of the world, which is the inevitable birth of any country. If the United States had been defeated in the Revolutionary War, it would remain a British colony to this day; If Napoleon had been defeated at the Battle of Marengo, France would still be Bourbon today.

War is the birth of a nation. The Republic of China has not cut the umbilical cord since its founding, and now it is time to cut the umbilical cord! Do not fear blood, do not fear death, for an independent, democratic, and free republic will be reborn in this great war......"

Li Kongrong, who had a splitting headache, didn't say much, he just said his heart. Although the overseas Chinese could not fully understand what he meant, they would have a long enough time in the future for them to comprehend what Li Kongrong was thinking in his heart today, as well as his deep thoughts about this war, this country, and this nation.

I have met and given speeches, but the overseas Chinese downstairs have not dispersed for a long time, and when it was close to noon, more and more policemen came to them, and they slowly retreated under the supervision of the Overseas Chinese General Association, Hongmen, and the Consulate General. But the crowd retreated, and some people stayed, these are international students in the United States.

"Everyone, please be seated." Li Kongrong had to instruct the hotel to prepare a simple lunch, and arrange for them to eat before the reporter -- students, especially international students, were treated preferentially wherever they were, even if he had nothing to ask for from them. "If you have something to say while eating, you are still students, and it is not good to be hungry."

"Colonel Hansheng, what do you think of the Battle of Songhu?" Among the students, the prince Hugh had no intention of eating, and some questions had bothered him for a long time, "There are many people who say that the Battle of Songhu should not be fought, at least not in Shanghai, what does Colonel Hansheng think?" There are also people who compare the 128 War of Resistance and discover the country. The army is getting worse and worse, and some of the tactics used by the 12819th Route Army can not be seen in the Battle of Songhu, and the Luodian Resistance Battle is even known as 'people have cannonballs, I have Tianling Gai', what does Colonel Hansheng think about this? Country. Is it the result of the corruption and incompetence of the Kuomintang? ”

Wang Zixiu speaks the Shaanxi dialect and seems to be from Shaanxi. Li Kongrong had no idea that he would have to face the remarks he made in the newspaper last year, and to make a good impression, and he would have to refute his previous arguments and be well-founded.

"This ......" Li Kongrong groaned, thinking about how to wash the floor. Whether or not to fight the government in the Battle of Songhu naturally has the consideration of the government, and in my opinion, the government has its own unavoidable choice of Shanghai. Everyone knows that China's transportation is backward, and if 700,000 troops are gathered in other directions, it will be almost an impossible thing, because the efficiency of the railway is not as high as that of the steamers, and the Japanese have already fought when you are still in the process of assembling, so from the perspective of logistics, there is a certain inevitability in choosing Shanghai, a place with a developed water network, for a decisive battle.

If the government does not fight in Shanghai and goes to Shandong and Shanxi to fight, there will definitely be many people who doubt the determination of the government to resist the war: Are you really anti-Japanese or fake anti-Japanese? If you put it in Shanghai, you don't have this concern, because if you don't fight well, it will be bad luck for the government. This is like doing business, the government decided to start a war in Shanghai, which is equivalent to making a bloody investment, and the other local factions will follow the bloody capital, otherwise the country would not be as united as it is now. ”

racked his brains to wash Chang Kaishen hastily, Li Kongrong didn't care about washing it or not, and then helped the country. Military washing.

"It's okay to make a comparison between the Battle of Songhu and the 128th War of Resistance, but there must be a premise, that is, where the Battle of Songhu ended, and where the Battle of Songhu ended, so that it was fair. 128 was the Japanese army landed at the mouth of the Liuhe River at the flank, and put it in the Battle of Songhu, that is, the Japanese 16th Division landed from Baimaokou. until the army retreated. As for the retreat and blocking battle in the back, there is no blocking battle in 128, so it is not easy to compare.

Only by figuring out the deadline can we make comparisons and not be overshadowed by appearances and individual defeats. We know that in the 128th War of Resistance, our side suffered 14,801 casualties, which was said by General Cai Tingkai himself; What were the true casualties in Japan? We don't count this, it's best to look at the statistics of the Japanese. As I said before, Japan has a strict family registration system and military service system, and many officers and non-commissioned officers keep combat records. Seven years have passed since 128, and many things that we do not know have been revealed: the Japanese army was killed 769 people and 2,322 wounded in the 128 War of Resistance, and the exchange ratio between us and the enemy was 4.78 to 1......"

Li Kongrong can only exchange casualties from the enemy to the country. As soon as he said that the Japanese army had only suffered 3,091 casualties in the 128 War of Resistance, several students stood up excitedly, and one of them said loudly: "Colonel Hansheng, General Cai personally said that the Japanese army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, why do you prefer to believe the Japanese figures and General Cai's battle report?" ”

"Our army estimated the Japanese casualties at the great victory of Jinshanwei, and the actual estimate was that the Japanese army suffered more than 50,000 casualties, but according to intelligence, the number of casualties counted by the Japanese army was less than 50,000. It is common on the battlefield to unconsciously exaggerate the results of a war and reduce losses, but Japan has a strict household registration and military service system, and how many people are injured and how many are killed in battle must be admitted to the Yasukuni Shrine. Are we so hostile to the Japanese that we can't even trust the numbers that the Japanese have counted for us? ”

What Li Kongrong is talking about is actually the casualty figure counted in the history of Japan's 128th World War in the later generations, and there can be no error in this number, and even if it is wrong, it will fluctuate slightly up and down a few dozen people, and it is impossible for there to be a change of more than 100 people. Maybe it was because of his prestige, or maybe he said it was indeed reasonable, but the students who stood up sat down unwillingly.

"The exchange ratio of the 128th Anti-Japanese War indicates that our army suffered 4.78 casualties and the Japanese army suffered one casualties, and then look at the Battle of Songhu, from the beginning of the battle to the landing at Baimaokou, according to the internal statistics of the Japanese government, the Japanese army suffered more than 40,000 casualties in Shanghai. According to the exchange ratio of 1284.78, the country. The army should have suffered about 192,000 casualties, and according to the statistics of Minister He Yingqin of the Ministry of Military Affairs, our army suffered more than 180,000 casualties. The army fought better than the **** during the 128th Anti-Japanese War. ”

Li Kongrong is referring to the figures in the later Japanese wartime books, the Japanese casualties in Shanghai were 40,672, and according to the "History of Army Operations in the China Incident", this figure is an underestimate, and the real number of casualties should be 98,417 [Note 59]. Talk about tactics, talk about the command country. Jun Na is really a mess, but when it comes to the exchange ratio, he finally succeeded in washing the floor.

"Among the armies that participated in the 128th battle, the 19th Route Army was the elite of the Guangdong Army, and the 88th and 87th Divisions were the elite of the Central Army. The Songhu War of Resistance was not elite, the Gui army without artillery, the Sichuan army with rifled polishing, and the Hunan army with few machine guns, such a hodgepodge of troops, the exchange ratio of the fight was actually better than the exchange ratio of the 128 elite troops, how can this be said to be a country. The army is getting worse and worse the more it fights?

The 128th Anti-Japanese War was purely defensive, and the first ten days of the Battle of Songhu were offensive, and the casualties of the offensive and defensive were different. The army fought better than one hundred and twenty-eight.

Ladies and gentlemen, you are not majoring in military affairs, and it is very simple to lie to you; You are young men, active but also impulsive, hateful, and have no choice but to do what is just and unjust. This is often the fault of generalizing to name a few countries. Examples of military defense failures, to name a few more countries. For example, the failure of the army's attack, and then the sentence 'People have cannonballs, I have the heavenly spirit cover', and then you will recognize the country. The army is worse than the 19th Route Army five years ago, and the conclusion is that the country. The army was incompetent, and the Kuomintang was corrupt.

Of course, there are incompetent generals, and there are also corrupt officials, all of whom you hate very much, and I hate them very much, but they are only a minority. (To be continued.) )
