East Sichuan, Fuling County.

Suddenly, two ferries have been spitting black smoke from the Yangtze River and slowly sailed over, only ten minutes before and after, the two ferries have docked at the Fuling wharf, the two porters are about to step forward to take the job, a group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly poured down from the ferry.

Seeing the [***] officers and soldiers with loaded guns, the two porters were stunned for a moment, and then stopped moving forward.

There were more than 100 officers and soldiers who came down from the ferry, and after getting off the ferry, they went straight to the square by the wharf, and then pulled up a huge screen in the square, and set up a machine in front of the screen. ”

The news that the movie was going to be released suddenly spread throughout Fuling County.

Many people who live in this remote county, have never been to a big city or watched a movie in their lives, have flocked to the wharf, less than half an hour, Fuling Wharf is already crowded with people, Fuling County leaders are also alarmed, in the sound of the whistle, a team of black-skinned policemen escorted the county magistrate to the wharf.

Seeing that the scene on the dock was a little chaotic, more than a dozen black-skinned policemen tried to disperse the crowd.

However, before the police could wave their batons to "maintain order", dozens of armed officers and soldiers had already run in front of them, and then they were running in unison, and then they turned to the left in unison, and in an instant, dozens of pairs of cold eyes were already staring at the group of policemen, and the policemen suddenly did not dare to act rashly.

The magistrate of Fuling, who was wearing a wide-brimmed top hat and a civilized crutch, came out of the crowd and said with a smile: "Dare to ask you ......"

Before the words fell, a captain and company commander had already run to the Fuling County Magistrate, first gave a military salute, and then said in a serious tone: "I am ordered by Shangfeng to come to Fuling County to publicize the resistance, please cooperate with the county lord!" ”

"This ......," the county magistrate of Fuling said, "Do you have an official letter from the provincial office or the district office?" ”

"I'm sorry, we are under the military order of the upper peak!" The captain and company commander snapped another military salute and said coldly, "This matter is related to the safety of the country and the survival of the nation. ”

"Hiss......" The county magistrate of Fuling gasped and didn't dare to say anything more.

What else can the county magistrate of Fuling say? As the so-called show meets soldiers, it is polite and indescribable.

Soon, it was dark, and the "movie" that the people of Fuling had been waiting for was finally released.

When the photos of the two lonely children appeared on the screen, the parents and villagers of Fuling suddenly moved, the old people burst into tears, the women cried, but the men were indignant and almost crushed their steel teeth.

In less than half an hour, the promotional video came to an end, and then a military posture was upright, young and cold [***] general appeared on the screen, and some students who had just returned from the provincial capital or accompanied the capital immediately recognized the general on the screen, is he not the [***] second-level general Yue Weihan?

"General Yue, he is General Yue!"

"What are you talking about, General Yue?"

"You hammer, of course you are the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force."

Suddenly, the Fuling dock was stirring again, and even more so than just now.

Yue Weihan's name has long been a household name in China and even the world.

On the screen, the heroic "Admiral Yue" slammed at Fuling's father, and immediately it was a standard military salute, and after the salute, General Yue said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Chairman Jiang instructed: As long as the war starts, there is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between old and young, and all my compatriots have the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war!" ”

"Today, Burma has won a great victory, the counteroffensive is imminent, and victory is in sight!"

"However, there are still 500,000 brave people who need to be brave, and all my compatriots should move forward enthusiastically!"

"Those who apply for the army can get 5 silver dollars when they go to high school, and those who have gone to middle school can get 50 silver dollars, and they can enlist in the army when they pass the training in Burma, and they can pay 40 yuan of military salary every month, and those who are weak and unqualified can be given travel expenses to return to their hometowns, and they can also be arranged to enter the factory in Nanyang, and the monthly salary is not less than 5 yuan!"

Suddenly, the Fuling pier became more and more stirring.

"Ge Laozi, anyway, I can't get by with this sentence, go to Myanmar to count the ball." A porter in his early thirties threw the flat burden in his arms to the ground, and immediately strode to the recruiting office set up on the edge of the dock.

………… At the same time, the same scene is also being staged in major universities in various counties of Sichuan and even Chengdu and Chongqing.

In fact, after the release of the propaganda short film "The Horn of the Counteroffensive Has Been Blown", the anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the entire Southwest Rear has been greatly stimulated, and the Chinese nation has been fighting hard for four whole years, and has paid an unimaginably heavy price, when the dawn of victory finally comes, who can be indifferent?

Therefore, when another promotional short film "An Inch of Mountains, Rivers and an Inch of Blood" was released immediately, the tide of resistance in the rear of the entire Southwest University rose to the extreme, especially the various generous benefits promised by Yue Weihan on the screen, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the strong men and young students in the rear to sign up for the army.

Of course, there is another sad reason why the various recruitment points of the Chinese Expeditionary Force are so hot.

After the fall of most of China, more than 80 million people poured into the southwest, plus nearly 200 million people who originally lived in the southwest, the entire southwest is already overcrowded, and the environment in the southwest is harsh, there are very few plains, it is difficult to feed so many people, so in order to make a living, it is not a bad choice to go to Myanmar to serve as a soldier.

At the very least, the salary from serving as a soldier in Myanmar is enough to feed a family of ten!

Even Helen, the initiator, did not expect that her two promotional videos would cause such a big response, and in the next less than half a month, a total of more than one million young and strong people and 100,000 young students in southwest China enthusiastically signed up, and immediately rushed to Myanmar under the huge convoy of vehicles.

As the saying goes, every inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood, millions of young people and millions of troops!

………… Yucheng, Military Commission Building.

"Ping!" Chairman Jiang slapped his palm on the armrest of the chair, and then stood up with a blushing face.

Not far from Chairman Chiang, the promotional short film "An Inch of Mountains and Rivers and an Inch of Blood" was also being screened on the huge screen.

On the screen, Yue Weihan was dressed in a straight [***] second-class general's dress, standing under the banner of the blue sky with his hands behind his back, and just finished saying Chairman Chiang's famous anti-Japanese war instruction: "Once the war is opened, there is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between old and young, and all my compatriots have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war." ”

"Niang Xipi, how can this be reasonable!" Chairman Jiang put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the conference room more than a dozen times, and his anger did not subside, and he shouted angrily, "How can this be done!" Who does he think he is? Who does he think he is!? Chairman of the Military Commissariat? Or the supreme leader of the national political axe? Well!? ”

Senior party-state generals such as General He, General Chen, and General Bai were silent.

"Grab it, grab it all!" The more Chairman Jiang spoke, the more angry he became, and he immediately yelled at General He, "Immediately issue an urgent order to all district and county offices, and ask them to dispatch the police to arrest all those with ulterior motives who have secretly screened propaganda films and tried to deceive people's minds, and not let any of them go!" ”

"I don't know." Admiral He said with a bitter face, "The officers and men of the new 39th Division who went to the counties and even colleges and universities to screen propaganda films were the officers and men of the new 39th Division, and they acted separately in companies, each company carried projectors and film films, and several counties tried to stop them on the grounds of lack of official letters from their superiors, but they were intimidated by force. ”

"What! Intimidation by force!? Chairman Jiang became more and more angry and said, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!" Send troops, immediately send troops to surrender the weapons of the new 39th Division, dare to resist, and exterminate them on the spot! ”

"Think again!" Admiral He said hurriedly, "The new 39th Division and Yue Weihan are playing under your banner!" ”

"How can this be reasonable, Yue Weihan and the new 39th Division are acting without authorization, what do they have to do with me?" Chairman Jiang was immediately furious when he heard this, and before he finished speaking, he coughed violently, and Wang Shihe, the chief of the state guard next to him, hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, but was pushed away by Chairman Jiang very impatiently.

"Take a seat." Admiral He said with a bitter face, "But the people don't know the truth." ”

Chairman Jiang almost suffocated on the spot when he heard this, yes, the people don't know the truth, they don't know that Yue Weihan and the New 39th Division are overbearing, if he Jiang rashly sends troops to suppress the New 39th Division, he will not only slap himself in the face, but also destroy his image of persisting in the War of Resistance, and the people will probably classify him as Wang Jingwei.

Thinking of the attitude of the American political axe, Chairman Chiang was taken aback for a moment, it is obvious that Yue Weihan is now the red man of the American political axe and President Roosevelt, if he Jiang really sent troops to suppress the new 39th Division, I am afraid that the American political axe will immediately draw a line with him Jiang and turn to support Yan Xishan, Li Zongren and even Yan'an's [***].

"Yes, take a seat, this kid Yue Weihan is fighting with the Americans now, we have to think twice about what to do." Admiral Chen also rarely persuaded Chairman Jiang, "Now that the general trend has been achieved, it is too late for us to stop it, rather than obstructing this wicked person, it is better to ask for the surname to send a few group armies to Yue Weihan." ”

"Huh!?" Chairman Jiang's face was slightly gloomy when he heard this, and he frowned, "Cixiu, what do you say?" ”

Judging from the current international situation and the attitude of the US political axe, Yue Weihan's large and large-scale expansion of the expeditionary force is already unstoppable, however, such a huge strategic cluster will be unimaginable if it is completely controlled by Yue Weihan alone. ”

Chairman Chiang immediately understood General Chen's intentions, and Chen Cixiu wanted him to send a few group armies to Burma to receive the US weapons and equipment that should have belonged to the expeditionary force, and as for whether these group armies would continue to stay in the Southeast Asian battlefield or return to China to participate in the War of Resistance after the change of equipment, it was up to him Jiang to have the final say.
