Chapter 427, War Communications.
Huang Wei's "War Newsletter" has a growing readership.
A reporter, a very beautiful female reporter who goes deep behind enemy lines to cover and report, is a legend in itself, and it can attract the attention of readers. What's more, Huang Wei is not an ordinary beautiful reporter, and readers at home and abroad are very impressed by her. In order to attract the attention of readers, expand the number of subscriptions, and make full use of news as a means, Wen Wei Po added this introduction to Huang Wei's "War Newsletter": "One is a superhero who kills the enemy in blood, and the other is a peerless celebrity who is obsessed with heroes. Heroic sons and daughters, iron-blooded tenderness, interpreted into legendary poems in the anti-war beacon fire.
Do you want to know what heinous crimes the Yue army has committed? Do you want to know what happened to your compatriots in the occupied areas? Do you want to know the real battle story of the Jiaodong Army aiming at a quasi-child and killing a little Yueben?
Please see the report sent back from behind enemy lines by Huang Wei, the confidante of the commander of the Shandong Military Region and the beautiful reporter Huang Wei, all the news of the Anti-Japanese War behind enemy lines, and the "War Newsletter". ”
deliberately pretentious, coupled with people's desire for the Jiaodong Army to fight more big battles and kill more Koukou, coupled with the fact that the article is really well written, Huang Wei's "War Newsletter" can't be popular. Not long after, Wen Wei Po's "War Newsletter" was reprinted by many newspapers, and even the radio stations in the rear area broadcast the "War Newsletter" every day.
Of course, Huang Wei is in Shandong, and she can't see Wen Wei Po published in Yucheng, and she doesn't know how Wen Wei Po introduced her column. Just know, this girl may not object, except for the wisp of affection for Liu Yimin in her heart, the main thing is that she plunged into the news interview and didn't have the time and energy to think so much.
By the time the instructors tried Gu Shoufu and Guan Guizhi, Huang Wei's "War Newsletter" had already established a wide readership in the rear area and abroad, and had built a bridge of communication between the battlefield behind enemy lines and the people in the rear area, as well as between foreign readers.
As a special reporter, Huang Wei witnessed the entire process of the public trial of Gu Shoufu. Huang Wei had already understood the main materials in the indictment read out by the prosecutor in advance, and then the witnesses testified in blood and tears, which made Huang Wei immersed in grief, and a communication report was written on the spot. By the time Gu Shoufu was killed by Ling Chi with one hundred and twenty knives, her long newsletter was basically finished.
After returning to the newspaper office, Huang Wei revised and polished it again, and on the basis of Chinese, wrote a long newsletter in English "The Last Day of the Devil -- A Record of Gu Shoufu, Commander of the Twelfth Army of the Shandong Group Army's Public Trial of the Invasion of China." After submitting it to the press office in Jinan, Shandong Province, for review, it was sent to Wen Wei Po, which had already moved to Yucheng, and to reporters from the United States, Britain, France, and other countries in Yucheng and Shanghai.
In this long newsletter of more than 10,000 words, Huang Wei wrote about Gu Shoufu and his personal affairs, and vividly wrote how Gu Shoufu, the son of a farmer in Okayama County, was brave and ruthless when he was a teenager, and how he developed a murderous and cruel surname when he went to the Army Non-commissioned Officer School and the Army University. In Huang Wei's writing, the Army Infant School, the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and the Army University have become the cradle of cultivating killing machines, and they are the tumors parasitic on the body of human civilization and society. All the soldiers who graduated from the Army Infant School, the Army Noncommissioned Officer School, and the Army University are all arrogant murderers who regard human life as if they were a mustard.
Huang Wei consulted the captured Gu Shoufu's records, from which she excerpted an account of why Gu Shoufu liked to kill people by force. According to Gu Shoufu's records, his mother was relatively beautiful, and his father was an honest farmer. One night, his father went into the city to sell peaches and never returned, leaving him and his mother alone. His mother let him go to bed early and sew clothes for Gu Shoufu under the lamp.
On this night, an idler from the village went to Gu Shoufu's house and started a family routine with Gu Shoufu's mother. Pulling and pulling, probably thinking that Gu Shoufu was asleep, the two of them began to move their hands and feet, and finally did something on the tatami where Gu Shoufu slept.
According to Gu Shoufu's memoir, Gu Shoufu was so frightened that he closed his eyes and didn't dare to say a word, and his mother and the idler were walking on the tatami mats, and it was not hot. Afterwards, Gu Shoufu didn't dare to look at his mother for a long time, let alone say it to his father. When he grew up, Gu Shoufu felt a deep sense of guilt for his father, feeling that he did not take good care of his mother for his father and shamed his father. It was also because of this incident that Gu Shoufu had an understanding in his heart that all women were rotten. On the wedding night of him and his wife Kiyoko, just in time for Kiyoko's period, Gu Shoufu ignored Kiyoko's bitter pleading, and insisted that the overlord forced the bow and forcibly took possession of Kiyoko. Afterwards, Gu Shoufu used the dirty blood of Kiyoko's lower body to draw a cherry tree in his notebook, and called it "When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom - the first night of Kiyoko." ”
During the war in northern Hebei, a wing commander reported whether military discipline should be restrained and those old people, women and children should be spared. I immediately told him that killing, destroying silver, and looting were effective means of raising morale. In order to eradicate China's sense of resistance, all soldiers in China and those who had nothing to do with the soldiers could be executed. The Chinese are dead, and the beautiful Yangtze River and Yellow River are naturally the greatest. The captain of the wing stopped being wordy and commanded his troops to attack all the villages they encountered. When I came ashore, all the villages along the way were cleaned, and there was not a single Chinese in sight. What you can see are the still burning villages and the corpses of women and babies in China. The Sixth Division is worthy of being the most elite division of His Majesty the Emperor! ”
The article is very long, and Huang Wei has a lot of first-hand information, and what she writes about is impossible for the people in the rear and foreigners to know.
When writing about Gu Shoufu being captured alive by the Jiaodong Group Army, Huang Wei wrote: Gu Shoufu, whose hands were stained with blood donated by the Chinese, could not have imagined that when he came to China again and was full of ambition to serve as the commander of the 12th Army of the Chinese invasion army, the Chinese people had already lit the fireworks of revenge and were waiting for this crazy evil beast to burrow into the fire array. This time, Gu Shoufu will never be able to escape again, and countless unjust souls are waiting to ask for his life!
Then, according to the information provided by the General Staff Office, Huang Wei vividly described the process of the Jiaodong Army capturing Jinan and capturing Gu Shoufu alive. In the middle, there is a battle of wits and courage, a singing and crying battle story of the Jiaodong Army entering Jinan City, and a legend of Gu Shoufu escaping and falling into the hands of the Jiaodong Army, so that readers have a feeling of being on the battlefield after reading.
The last and most important chapter is the record of the process of the public trial of Gu Shoufu, which is basically written in the order of Jiang Qiang and Zhou Xuan's two live broadcasts, but the scene is more solemn and sacred, and the details are more detailed.
If the major newspapers do not reprint such articles one after another, then the editors-in-chief of these newspapers should resign. The live broadcast of the scene, coupled with the immediate report of the "War Newsletter", attracted the attention of the whole world to China's War of Resistance at once, and major cities in the United States once again set off donations and materials to support China's War of Resistance.
Huang Wei was full of hatred for the Yue army at this time, and vowed to use the pen in her hand to contribute to the resistance. After receiving feedback from Wen Wei Po and those foreign reporters that "War Newsletter" had been very popular with readers, she wrote a series of articles exposing the atrocities of the Yue Army, such as "Panjiang Town is Weeping," "Tangqiao's Story," "Meihua Town's Bloody Case," "Tofu Village's Accusation," and "The Yue Army: A Beast Army Composed of Wild Beasts," all of which were sent to Wen Wei Po and reporters from various countries and serialized in newspapers.
Next, Huang Wei wrote a set of articles encouraging the army to fight back before the battle. Among them, in the article "Attacking the Heart and Mind -- General Jiang Qiang Encourages the Commanders to Attack and Kill the Commanders and Make Meritorious Contributions," Huang Wei sorted out Jiang Qiang's policy of encouraging soldiers to kill officers and officers to kill commanders in several conversations in the tone of reporters' interviews, and formed a systematic correspondence on enemy workers that has never been seen in the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wars.
After inquiring in detail about Huang Wei's work and life in Shandong, Zhuang Tao encouraged Huang Wei to go deep among the soldiers, among the villagers in the base areas, and among the businessmen in accordance with the spirit of Commander Jiang Qiang's speech at the forum on literary and artistic work, and to write more good articles to publicize the policies of the base areas, so as to boost the fighting spirit of the people of the whole country in uniting in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
After hearing this, Huang Wei's little face turned red with excitement, her eyes were full of pride, and she reported to Zhuang Tao in detail the original intention of writing the "War Newsletter", the writing situation, and the readers' reactions.
Zhuang Tao told her that the soldiers and civilians in Shandong regarded her as their soldiers and daughters, and the soldiers also regarded her as a comrade-in-arms who shared life and death, and that all units could be interviewed by her anytime and anywhere. At the same time, the Shandong Military Region guaranteed her the right to free coverage and personal safety, and no matter where she went to cover the news, the Shandong Government and Guangming Daily would send security troops to protect her safety.
Seeing Governor Zhuang Tao praising herself, Huang Wei finally couldn't help it, and proposed that she wanted to interview Jiang Qiang, and wanted to follow Commander Jiang Qiang to better report the deeds of the Shandong Army in killing the enemy.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Tao, who was still praising Huang Wei just now, changed his tone, saying that Jiang Qiang was busy with military affairs and had no time to be interviewed. When Jiang Qiang is free, he will definitely tell him and arrange for him to be interviewed by reporters. Zhuang Tao asked Huang Wei to work with peace of mind and not think about other things. If you have the opportunity, you can also interview and interview the female soldiers of the Shandong Army, such as Jiang Qiang's wife, Miss Tingting.
Huang Wei has such a high level of education, where can she not hear the meaning of Zhuang Tao's words, her heart is a little gray, her face is sunny and cloudy, and she almost cried on the spot.
Or Zhuang Tao will do ideological work, leaving Huang Wei to eat at the provincial government, telling her that all the outstanding Chinese sons and daughters should know their mission, that is, to defeat the invaders. In the face of this sacred mission, all personal thoughts seem not so important. In short, Zhuang Tao's education and a basket of good words finally cheered Huang Wei up again and continued to be busy with her interview writing.
While Huang Wei's "Field Communication" conveyed the information of the Shandong Army's War of Resistance to the rear and abroad, the Shandong Provincial Government, Guangming Daily, and the Shandong Federation of Literary and Art Circles jointly held an exhibition on the combat history of the Asian People's Liberation Army.
The exhibition is divided into five parts.
The first part is a tracing of the origins of the Chinese Dynasty, and the title is the eye-catching "Ungrateful Little Story", the content takes the form of words and paintings, and is based on historical materials such as the dispatch of Tang envoys and the Dongdu of Jianzhen, and explains the cultural sources of the text, customs, architecture, clothing, martial arts, tea ceremony, religion and other cultural sources clearly. Even illiterate people, listening to the thoughts of others, will involuntarily scold "Ungrateful bastard!" ”
The second part is a comparison of the national conditions of China and China, with the title of "If You Are Backward, You Will Be Beaten", the content of the exhibition is mainly the comparison of population, area, industry, commerce, transportation, education, health and military strength between China and China before the Lugou Bridge Incident. As long as you look at the exhibition and listen to the introduction of the staff, you will understand that after the Meiji Restoration, the Qing Dynasty at that time was complacent and missed a major development opportunity for the Chinese nation. The reason why Xiao Yueben dared to brazenly launch a war of aggression against China was by no means blindly arrogant, but that they had gathered enough strength and regarded China, with a large population and a backward economy, as a shortcut to seizing resources and a market to pass on the economic crisis. The purpose of the exhibition is to tell people that in order to defeat the devils, it is not enough to rely on enthusiasm alone, but it is necessary to develop politics, economy, culture, science and technology, and comprehensively improve the national strength, the quality of the population, and military strength. Only by building China into a stronger, more advanced, and more civilized country can we fundamentally defeat imperialism.
The third part is a historical review of the invasion of China before the July 7 Incident, entitled "The Result of Weakness and Retreat." The content starts from the Ming Dynasty's Japanese invaders, and uses words, paintings, and photos to show all the aggression before the invaders invaded China. In particular, the course of the September 18 incident is described in great detail, and after reading it, the audience knows very well that 40 percent of the bullets and bombs used by the invading army are made in the former Northeast Arsenal, and the Chinese are paying for the policy of non-resistance with the lives of their compatriots.
The fourth part is the heinous crimes committed by the full-scale invasion of China before and after the 77 Lugou Bridge Incident, and the title is "Records of Military Crimes." This section is long and informative, and most of it is photos with captions. For example, the Zhaozhuang tragedy not only has the names of the 36 families that were wiped out and the 302 people who were slaughtered, but also the numbers of the military units and the names of the commanders who caused the tragedy.
The fifth part is the major achievements made by the Chinese army since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the name is "Destroy the Invaders". This part is the richest in content, including the decision of the Kuomintang to resist the war, the speech of Chairman Lushan, and the Red Party's proposal to establish a united front to unite and resist the war, and the focus is on the achievements made on the frontal battlefield and the battlefield behind enemy lines. There are texts and pictures, and not only the numbers, crimes, names and establishments of the various units of the annihilated army are clear at a glance, but also physical photos of the captured weapons, military flags, command knives, and so on. In particular, the achievements of the Jiaodong Group Army, because every great victory was reported in newspapers, the number of photographs was large, the time, place, the number of enemies annihilated, and the types of captured booty were absolutely accurate, and the names, places of origin, and service experience of the officers who were killed were densely packed, and some people found the murderer of their relatives after reading it, and they were busy going to the graves of their relatives to pay respects and tell their relatives underground that the Chinese army had taken revenge.
The sixth part is the heroic martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War, including the Northeast Anti-Japanese War and the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and the list of martyrs and main deeds of the Chinese army are all listed above. Of course, due to the incomplete information, the exhibition board specifically noted: "Countless martyrs sacrificed on the battlefield of resistance in order to defend the country's territory and sovereignty, and most of their names can no longer be ascertained. ”
This part is the most exciting, many people watched it, inspired by the spirit of the martyrs, and immediately signed up to join the Shandong Army.
The exhibition was first held in Jinan's Wusan Park, and because of the fear of bombing by the Japanese army, cadres and soldiers and the masses were organized to watch it at night with torches. Later, it toured the exhibition throughout the Shandong base area. In the end, all the base areas of the Bushan Military Region carried out a touring exhibition, and even the rear area also asked to go to the exhibition, which was an unprecedented grand occasion.
Jiang Qiang occupied Jinan, and the seizures were naturally very rich, and the Shandong army bought and sold them publicly, and it didn't take long for the Jinan market to become active. No, Jiang Qiang not only took out peanuts and candy to entertain the cadres of the two garrison brigades, but also took out cigarettes and stuffed a pack into everyone's hands, so that they could chat while eating, and talk about the situation of the troops and the two base areas of Jiaodong and Qinghe.
Gao Jinchun and Liao Rongbiao knew Jiang Qiang's temper, grabbed the cigarette and smoked it, stuffing candy and peanuts into their mouths while smoking, and didn't forget to say, "This little devil's candy is fucking delicious"! The brigade commander was like that, and the others immediately began to act after a little restraint, and there was a clattering sound in the office.
After smoking cigarettes, eating peanuts and candy, and drinking water, Liao Rongbiao took off his hat and began to report, opening his mouth to say: "Commander, our Qinghe Garrison Brigade has suffered a lot of losses, you have to quickly transfer more cadres and replenish ammunition for us, it is best to form an artillery regiment for us, and when we beat the little devil next time, we can beat it with our eyebrows raised!" ”
When Jiang Qiang heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with his ears, why are these people a bit like Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" now, opening their mouths is taking advantage, and even Liao Rongbiao, who looks gentle and elegant, and is called Liao Bodhisattva and Bodhisattva Commander by the common people, has also learned badly.
Jiang Qiang smiled slightly: "I said Liao Bodhisattva, you are a combat unit, and I am still waiting for you to hand in the loot!" If you can't do it, the commander of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade will say yes, I have more people here who can do this job! ”
Yao Zhongming, chief of staff of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade, had a bookish look on his face, and when he heard that Jiang Qiang meant to remove Liao Rongbiao from his post as commander, he quickly stood up and reported: "Report commander: You can't remove Liao from the post of brigade commander, we rely on his military command to launch the Heitieshan uprising!" He was a man of great merit. ”
After the report, Yao Zhongming found that the commander and the chief of staff were all looking at him with a smile, where did he look like he wanted to remove Liao Rongbiao from his position!
Sure enough, Liao Rongbiao said angrily: "Chief of Staff, I want to ask the commander for some cadres and equipment, and now it's over, I'll let you scatter it!" Only then did Yao Zhongming understand that Liao Rongbiao and Jiang Qiang were too familiar, and they were communicating in a way they were familiar with!
Jiang Qiang still looked like he was smiling: "I said Liao Rongbiao, I haven't seen you for a long time, the little bandit has become a big brigade commander, and the problem has come out, and he has begun to learn to blackmail me." ”
Liao Rongbiao smiled: "You are almost finished destroying the little devils in Shandong with the main force, who will my Qinghe Garrison Brigade ask for food and drink in the future?" Who are you looking for if you don't look for you? Commander, everyone says you're eccentric, and I'm thinking about it. Not to mention tanks and armored vehicles, those are your baby bumps, let's not want Lao Liao. Those bazookas, anti-aircraft guns, etc., can you also allocate a little bit to the Qinghe Garrison Brigade? Even if it's a few, we've seen the devil mechanized division, it's useless to say anything without that thing, and the soldiers may not be able to deal with those iron bumps if they sacrifice their lives. ”
Jiang Qiang was so angry that he couldn't pay for his life: "Will you use the bazooka if you give it to you?" Liao Rongbiao still smiled: "You are saying that your own education level is not good!" I'm from Jiaodong Military Academy, I'm your student, not to mention bazookas, anti-aircraft guns, even tanks, I can drive. Besides, most of the regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders under me were sent from the Jiaodong Military Region, and the third division was so well equipped, can't you let them give me some evenness? Please, please! As he spoke, he stood up and saluted Jiang Qiang again.
Chang Yuan watched from the side and smiled, these guys have simply become a copy of Tao Zhuangming, asking for things without a red face and a heartbeat!
I only heard Chang Yuan say: "Okay, stop playing treasure!" Hurry up and report to work, we're busy! If you keep rambling, I'll kick you out! As soon as he saw Chang Yuan's words, Liao Rongbiao stopped playing treasures, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, and then began to report.
Liao Rongbiao reported on a lot of contents, first reporting on the situation of launching the Heitieshan Uprising and forming the "Fifth Army of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army" after entering Shandong, and then he reported on the combat situation of the troops after being reorganized into the Qinghe Garrison Brigade.
Jiang Qiang listened very seriously, because he knew that after Liao Rongbiao arrived in the Luzhong region in history, it was based on the Heitieshan Uprising, one person became hundreds, hundreds of people became thousands, and finally pulled out a main force of tens of thousands of people. When it comes to Liao Rongbiao, everyone in Luzhong knows and knows about it. This is also a legendary general in a hundred battles who has made miraculous contributions to the republic, and he is not inferior to the commanders of several main brigades.
After Liao Rongbiao finished his report, Gao Jinchun then reported on the work of the Qinghe Garrison Brigade. Gao Jinchun's report was similar to Liao Rongbiao's report, first reporting on the situation of launching the Tianfushan Uprising and forming the "Third Army of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army" together with Li Qi, Lu Zhiheng, and Lin Yishan after arriving in Shandong, and reported in detail the sacrifice of Comrade Li Qi, and then reported on the battle situation after it was reorganized into the Xintai Garrison Brigade.
After listening to the report, Jiang Qiang praised the Qinghe Garrison Brigade and the Xintai Garrison Brigade, saying that in the face of the great encirclement and suppression of the Chinese army, they cooperated with the Seventh Brigade in the battle, and ensured that the ranks did not collapse and the people's hearts did not disperse, and they were able to quickly replenish casualties, replenish the Seventh Brigade with outstanding soldiers, and ensure the combat effectiveness of the main force.
After the commendation, Jiang Qiang instructed Liao Rongbiao and Gao Jinchun that it was imperative to do a good job in several tasks at the moment, one was to step up the training of the troops and prepare for the new battle. We must bear in mind the glorious tradition of our new training and build our troops into an iron army that cannot be dragged down or defeated. At present, although our army has captured Jinan and can attack Dezhou at any time, the enemy situation is constantly changing, and the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army, escorted by the combined fleet, will soon land in Tianjin. In this way, the army formed a flanking attack on our army from the east, south, and north. In the Luxi area, our army has only one main force of the Eighth Brigade, and if the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army does not leave Tianjin, our army will not make arrangements to attack Dezhou for the time being. In this way, the Eighth Brigade monitored the enemy heading north, and the Xintai Garrison Brigade and the Qinghe Garrison Brigade were the support units of the Eighth Brigade, and they should be ready to fight at any time. As for the weapons that are required to be equipped, they can be applied to the logistics command after the meeting, so that the troops can be quickly equipped and their combat effectiveness can be formed as soon as possible.
The second is to quickly restore the Xintai base area and the Qinghe base area. Since the main force was hiding and waiting, the restoration and reconstruction work in the base areas of Jiaodong, Qinghe, Luzhong, and Lunan was carried out on the Xintai Garrison Brigade and the Qinghe Garrison Brigade. It is necessary to obey the unified leadership of Governor Zhuang Tao and the Formation and Training Headquarters, and fight wherever it is directed, and absolutely do not allow the phenomenon of violating orders and disobeying them. This time, it is necessary to lay a solid foundation for the base areas, with county party committees, county political axes, and county brigades, and district party committees, district political axes, district squads, village heads, and militia teams in the districts to form a solid network of political power. It is necessary to make use of the leisure time in winter to mobilize the masses to build water conservancy projects and prepare for droughts. It is necessary to organize the masses to dig tunnels, and as long as the little devils dare to show their heads, they will be greeted by mine arrays and tunnel warfare, trapping them to death in the Japanese army.
The third is to vigorously expand the armed forces. The garrison brigade not only undertakes local garrison and combat missions, but also serves as a supplementary force to the main force. In the next step, it is necessary to actively mobilize young and middle-aged people to join the army. All garrison brigades should set up new regiments, and at least one garrison brigade should establish three new regiments to conduct initial training for the recruits, and then hand them over to the training headquarters for centralized training. After completing the training, they will be pulled into the main force for actual combat training, and then transferred back to the garrison brigade to complete the garrison brigade establishment. The main regiments of the former garrison brigades should be transferred to the main force to participate in major campaign operations. All county brigades should be built in accordance with the establishment of battalions of the main force and undertake the task of defending base areas, and they can also be upgraded to combat units of garrison brigades. And so on, to form a good mechanism for the replenishment of our army's soldiers.
After Jiang Qiang finished speaking, Chang Yuan put forward further requirements for strengthening ideological and political work in the troops.
According to Chang Yuan, the main force has strong combat effectiveness because, in addition to tactical training and weaponry, the most important thing is that it has done solid ideological and political work. When a regiment, a battalion, a company, a platoon, or even a squad is surrounded by a strong enemy, it can fight to the end without fear of danger. This is the power of ideological and political work, and every soldier knows who he is fighting for and why, has a clear goal of struggle, and is not afraid of sacrifice. Since the garrison brigades are newly formed units, although they have done a good job in ideological work, they are far from the main force and must catch up.
