Chapter 16: A Letter to the Nation's Compatriots (I)
Zhabei, four rows of warehouses.
Taking advantage of the fact that the little devil has not yet caught up, more than 200 soldiers of the Baoshan battalion are nervously arranging fortifications, and Yue Weihan is leading the "old black" to inspect the terrain everywhere.
Fortunately, the Sixing warehouse is a six-story building with a masonry and cement structure, which can be regarded as an absolute commanding height in Zhabei, and there are two tall buildings hundreds of meters apart from each other on the west and north sides.
It's a pity that Yue Weihan only has half a battalion of troops in his hands, and if he really wants to divide his troops to guard those two buildings, he will arrange forty or fifty people for each building at most, and it is obviously impossible to withstand the onslaught of the little devils with this amount of troops, so dividing troops to guard is equivalent to letting the brothers go to death, this kind of stupid thing Yue Weihan will never do.
Turning back again, next to the side of the four rows of warehouses is the new garbage bridge across Suzhou Creek.
It's just that at this time, the new garbage bridge has been under martial law, the British have set up barricades on the opposite side, and barricades have been erected along the riverbank, nearly a hundred British soldiers are looking at this side nervously, as if they are very worried that the [***] on this side will suddenly kill the bridge, in the eyes of these British devils, [***] and the army are equally dangerous, they are their enemies!
These foreign devils have not thought that the land under their feet is actually the territory of the Chinese nation.
For these Brits, Yue Weihan also lacks a good impression in his heart, the reason why the head of the official history Xie Yuan and the four hundred heroes will end up tragically is because he handed over his fate to these British, but he Yue Weihan will never hand over the fate of himself and more than 200 brothers to these selfish and cowardly British!
"Sir, what should I do?" A crisp voice suddenly sounded.
Yue Weihan turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a beautiful shadow standing beside him at some point.
Huang Meiwu, chief of staff of the 98th Division, was as careful as a hair, and did not forget to leave a radio station for the Baoshan battalion before retreating, and what stayed with the radio was the beautiful [***] female officer in front of her.
"Sir, what do you see?" When Yue Weihan looked up and down, the corners of Liu Xin's mouth curled.
"See what? Of course, it's to see the beauty. Yue Weihan pulled the tweed military uniform on his body, his face did not change, and his heart did not skip a beat.
Liu Xin's cheeks suddenly swelled with two red clouds, and her expression became a little shy.
This girl is really asking for her own hardship, she originally thought that Yue Weihan was similar to other [***] officers, and she would blush and speak clumsy when she saw a beautiful female officer, so she wanted to make a few jokes, but as soon as she made contact, she knew that she had made a fatal mistake, and this "legendary battalion commander" was by no means an ordinary [***] officer.
Not to mention anything else, just his wolf-like eyes can make her heart pound when she sees it.
Seeing that Liu Xin's chin was about to reach his bulging chest, Yue Weihan smiled and asked, "I heard that you graduated from Tongji University, right?" ”
"Hmm." Liu Xin hummed softly.
"Do any of your classmates work at a newspaper or radio station in Shanghai?"
"Yes." Liu Xin finally stopped being cramped, raised his chin and said, "Many classmates have joined major radio stations and newspapers in Shanghai after graduation, and Xinyi has also become the editor of the declaration." ”
"Xinyi? Declare editing? Yue Weihan's brows suddenly furrowed.
I don't know if it's an illusion or what, when Yue Weihan heard the name Xinyi, he actually had a faint sense of familiarity, as if this name occupied a very important weight in his heart, but Yue Weihan was very sure that he had never been in contact with a girl named "Xinyi", what the hell is going on?
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Yue Weihan was a little distracted, Liu Xin asked.
"Oh, nothing." Yue Weihan hurriedly said, "Then can you get in touch with those classmates of yours?" ”
"Of course." Liu Xin said without thinking, "Newspapers and radio stations have radio stations, and you can contact them in clear code." ”
"That's good." Yue Weihan nodded and said, "You go back to set up a radio station now, contact your classmates as soon as possible, and then issue a 'letter to the compatriots of the whole country' in the name of the Baoshan Battalion, just say that [***] will never abandon Shanghai, our Baoshan Battalion is ordered to garrison the Sixing Warehouse, swear to fight a decisive battle with Yue Kou to the end, and swear to live and die with all the citizens of Shanghai!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Xin saluted Yue Weihan with a standard military salute, then turned around and left.
Yue Weihan knew very well that the military significance of holding Baoshan was minimal, but its political significance was immeasurable!
In China, the anti-Japanese war of the Sixing warehouse can greatly stimulate the determination of the whole [***] people, and in terms of influence alone, the decisive anti-Japanese war of the Sixing warehouse is not even under the great victory of Pingxingguan!
Internationally, because the Sixing Warehouse is close to the public concession, and the Western powers such as the United States, Britain, France and Germany have offices in the public concession, the war of resistance in the Sixing warehouse is easy to attract the attention of the Western powers, and the Western powers definitely do not want to dominate the country out of the consideration of checks and balances, so it will definitely form a public opinion that is unfavorable to the book in the world.
In view of this, in order to make the momentum bigger, Yue Weihan exceeded his authority and issued a letter of complaint without authorization.
Once this letter is issued, the headquarters of the group army, the headquarters of the theater of operations, and even President Jiang of Nanjing are afraid that they will be angry and scold him Yue Weihan for being lawless, but Yue Weihan doesn't care at all, anyway, after the battle of the Sixing Warehouse, Jiangnan is estimated to have fallen for the most part, and then he Yue Weihan should break away from the [***] sequence and go north to Shanxi.
Although the strength of the Baoshan battalion is still slightly less, but there are still a large number of [***] routs waiting to be contained on the way north, Yue Weihan believes that when he arrives in Shanxi with his troops, he will definitely be able to gather enough troops for a regiment.
Yue Weihan is not greedy, and he is satisfied with getting a division commander.
As for the founding of the People's Republic of China, I really didn't think about the rank of marshal and general, but the general probably didn't run.
…………
Public Concession, Eighth Route Army Office in Shanghai.
On the east wall is a bright red flag embroidered with a striking sickle and axe, and a young woman with long hair and a shawl is facing the party flag with her right hand and solemnly vows: "I volunteer to join China [***], support the party's program, and abide by the party's constitution...... We are ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people at any time, and never betray the party. ”
After taking the oath, the middle-aged man next to him immediately stretched out his hands to the young woman: "Comrade Zhao Xinyi, welcome to join." ”
There was also a young man next to him, who also came over and shook hands with the young woman and said, "Xinyi, now we are comrades." ”
The young woman smiled and said to the middle-aged man and the young man: "Secretary Yang, Brother Zhou, you are all veteran comrades of our party who have been tested for a long time, and you must help me more in the future." ”
"This is natural." The middle-aged man nodded, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he said to the young man and the young woman, "Bowen, Xinyi, the superior has sent a telegram asking our Shanghai office to use the existing resources to widely mobilize the masses and support the [***] war of resistance in the Songhu area as much as possible, so the focus of your work should also be adjusted accordingly......"
Before the words fell, another young man knocked on the door and said solemnly: "Secretary Yang, just now the radio station received a certain [***] 'Letter to the Compatriots of the Whole Country' sent by a certain department from the Zhabei Sixing Warehouse in clear code, this is a message, please take a look." ”
Director Yang stretched out his hand to take the message, quickly read it, and then said with a solemn expression: "Baoshan Camp? The Baoshan battalion that held on to Baoshan and killed Teng Tianjin, the commander of the 3rd Division of the Army? The Kuomintang authorities are really unreasonable, and they actually left only one battalion to defend Zhabei, isn't this intended to send them to death? ”
A young man named Zhou Bowen said: "Anyway, it's the Kuomintang army that died, what does it have to do with us?" ”
"Brother Zhou, how can you say that?" A young woman named Xinyi said, "Whether it is the Kuomintang army or our party's army, it is China's national defense force, and now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. ”
"Well, Xinyi is right." Director Yang said, "In this way, you will immediately use the relationship to arrange for the declaration and publication of this telegram, and I will prepare another newsletter and publish it together!" I believe that this is a good opportunity to mobilize the broad masses of the people in Shanghai, and if the deeds of the Baoshan Battalion in holding the Sixing Warehouse are reported, I believe that it will greatly boost the confidence and morale of the military and people in Shanghai, and will certainly greatly encourage the determination of the vast numbers of the military and people in the whole of China to resist! ”
"Hmm." Xinyi nodded lightly and said, "I'll go to my uncle." ”
