After three hours of continuous shelling, the Japanese troops deployed 20,000 smoke canisters on the riverside, simultaneously firing smoke screens and poisonous gas, and a pale yellow poisonous fog as wide as 5 kilometers slowly descended the wind, through the embers of gunsmoke, and drifted into the defending positions that had become ruins.

After escaping the devastating shelling, the surviving defenders were subjected to a massive poison gas attack, poisoning a large number of officers and soldiers, and plunging the troops into confusion and panic. At half past seven o'clock in the evening of March 20, the breakthrough brigade of the Nakai Division of the Japanese Army, put on gas masks, began to forcibly cross the water repair.

At this time, the riverside guard position of the 456th Regiment of the 76th Division of the defending army had been bombarded to pieces, and the remaining officers and soldiers were struggling in pain in the poisonous gas.

With the despicable trick of using poison gas on a large scale, the Japanese Nakamura Division finally gained a foothold on the banks of the Xiushui River, and the artillery breakthrough operation was a great success. After the successful crossing of the river, the Nakai Division began to storm Fengqi Mountain, the commanding height of the Guanyin Mountain position, the first battalion of the defenders had collapsed during the shelling, the remnants were killed and wounded in the Japanese attack, and the battalion commander Liu Chunren was martyred in battle.

On the morning of the 21st, Luo Zhuoying learned that the Japanese army had broken through the defense line along the river, so he tried to mobilize troops to fill the gap in the front according to the standard procedure of the early one-line defense against the enemy. At two o'clock in the morning of the 22nd, the Japanese army built a pontoon bridge, and Okamura's carefully planned protagonist Ishii convoy immediately crossed the river.

After the Japanese army crossed the river, the weather gradually cleared, and the Japanese 3rd Flying Regiment began to carry out large-scale air raids, bombing the Chinese army, almost as if it were no one. On the morning of the 22nd, under the cover of superior aircraft and artillery fire, Wucheng was besieged in three ways, and constantly fired fire bombs and poison bombs, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties and had to abandon Wucheng.

At this time, the main square of Jinan Municipal Government is crowded with people, gongs and drums are noisy, and colorful flags are fluttering around, a lively and extraordinary festive scene. 2580 couples dressed up, the bride is dressed in red traditional Chinese bridal makeup, the groom wears a military uniform if he is a soldier, and the civil servant uniform is worn if he is a government civil servant!

As for the ordinary people, I'm sorry, don't come to join in the fun this time, Jiang Qiang is specially giving a welfare giveaway to the officers and soldiers and civil servants under his command!

Jiang Qiang originally planned to gather enough 1,000 pairs of newcomers, but he did not expect that the initiative would receive widespread support and response after it was launched, and more than 1,800 pairs applied for registration in just three days.

Spring is indeed a good season for courting mates, and young men and women can't help but rush and start thinking about things with their lower bodies! In this regard, Jiang Qiang will naturally not be petty, as long as they meet the conditions, they will all be approved to be included in the plan, and the total number of people will be fixed at 2580 pairs! As a kind of new-style wedding, the group wedding is a foreign product from the west and the east in comparison with the traditional old-style wedding in China.

In the thirties of the twentieth century, the then Nationalist Government advocated the New Life Movement, and also promoted Western-style wedding ceremonies in the wedding system, which was organized by the Social Affairs Bureau, which pioneered the modern collective marriage atmosphere.

In 1935, Shanghai initiated the first group wedding, and 17 couples formed a couple, followed by Hankou and Beijing. In 1935, the "First New Life Group Marriage" held in the auditorium of Nanjing Inspirational Society, the then mayor of Nanjing, Ma Chaojun, attended the marriage, and a total of 33 couples volunteered to participate.

Since then, "group weddings" have existed as an institution, and they are held regularly and quite frequently by the government. In the earliest group weddings, the bride and groom were required to dress uniformly, usually the groom wore a blue robe, black gown, blue pants, white socks, black satin shoes, white gloves, and a flower on his chest.

The bride wears a short-sleeved light red cheongsam, trousers, flesh-colored stockings and satin shoes, a white veil on her head, a bouquet of flowers with white gloves, and a marriage certificate, a commemorative badge and a group photo after the wedding.

Jiang Qiang has no money in his hand, and he has a mall in hand, what kind of wedding dress is available, after choosing for a while, Jiang Qiang simply sent a wave of luxury gifts, giving all brides a set of extremely luxurious and atmospheric wedding dresses combining Chinese and Western! In the square, 2,580 brides are dressed in phoenix crowns, covered in golden glittering jewels, full of noble atmosphere and bright and moving alluring atmosphere!

"Wow, oh my God, I'm so envious! There is such a beautiful wedding dress! "Yes, those brides look so beautiful!" "Hey, it's a shame that we got married a few months early!" "This dress alone is worth a lot of money, isn't it?" "Needless to say! The gold and silver jewels alone are worth a lot! ”

"I knew that there was such a beautiful wedding dress, so I had to find a soldier to marry!" "No shame! No shame! Sell yourself a set of clothes? "The group wedding has not officially begun, and the luxurious bridal makeup on the brides alone makes the soldiers and ordinary people who come to watch the ceremony envious.

The group wedding organized by Jiang Qiang mainly has the following process: at 8 o'clock in the morning, the bus will be taken around the city, the wedding car will be decorated with flowers, hanging hydrangea and paper-cut decorations, and hanging banners with various blessings on the side.

During the city cruise, stop at People's Square in the city center, where all couples will take a group photo and have their wedding photos taken, and relatives can accompany them.

At 10:30 a.m., they all returned to the main square of the municipal government to hold a group wedding. After all the newlyweds arrived at the main square of the municipal government, colorful firecrackers and firecrackers rang out in unison to render the atmosphere of the scene. The newlyweds lined up outside the main venue of the group wedding and waited for the entrance, and greeted the guests, comrades-in-arms and colleagues.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the host announced the start of the collective wedding, 2580 newlyweds accompanied by the "Wedding March", one by one through the "Happy Flower Gate" into the main venue of the wedding ceremony, through the eternal red carpet, 48 groups of channel fireworks in order, rose petals in the rain of the newlyweds swaying romantic feelings, hand in hand on the wedding hall.

At 11:20, the host introduced the leaders and guests at all levels who came to the scene, as well as the newlyweds who participated in the wedding, and bowed to the guests with blessings. Next, naturally Jiang Qiang took the stage to deliver a speech and sent good wishes to all the newlyweds.

After Jiang Qiang finished the speech of the witness, the newlyweds began to worship heaven and earth: one worships heaven and earth, the second worships the high hall, and the husband and wife worship each other. The host made a declaration of love, and the newlyweds in the audience read it together, and then the tokens were exchanged with love tokens, and then the host presented newlyweds and big red envelopes to the newlyweds.

The newlyweds drank a glass of wine together, the representatives of the parents of the newlyweds came to the stage to deliver a speech, and the newlyweds gave a speech. At 12 o'clock, the wedding feast of 10,000 people officially began.

Jiang Qiang prepared 2,000 tables, not only occupying the entire city government square, but also several surrounding streets, and the lively and luxurious pomp was really unprecedented. Of course, the group wedding is grand and grand, and the safety of the whole process is also very important!

After all, it is a war era, and Jiang Qiang not only has to guard against the sneak attack of the Japanese army, but also has to guard against crowding and stampede safety accidents!

To this end, Jiang Qiang not only mobilized the troops of the entire two regiments to suppress the field, but also ordered the police force to be responsible for maintaining order and conducting security inspections, and all radar stations and the Flying Tigers were on standby, so as to do everything that could be taken into account! "Sister-in-law, no, lady, today I finally got my wish! From now on, I will love and protect you with all my life! ”

Niu Bo was wearing a military uniform with a big red flower on his chest, and after drinking several glasses of wine, he was a little fluttery, looking at Wu Cuihong with a confused look, and he picked up the wine glass affectionately and said: "I'm so happy today, lady, let's have another drink!" ”

Taking advantage of the collective wedding of 1,000 people organized by Jiang Qiang, Niu Bo had the courage to express his heart to his widowed sister-in-law, and finally made sense of his sister-in-law Wu Cuihong after a while. "Hey, well, happy to be happy! Don't drink too much! ”

Wu Cuihong shook her head with a smile, and then sighed lightly: "Today's good days are all given to us by the general seat, Xiaobo, we must remember this kindness for the rest of our lives!" ”

Wu Cuihong is a hard-working and strong woman, her husband died a few days after marrying into the Niu family, but she supported the Niu family without regrets, got up early and ran the Niu family's crumbling small restaurant. As the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, because her husband died at a young age, and there was no adult man in the Niu family to support the door.

At the critical moment when Wu Cuihong felt that she was about to be unable to hold on and the Niu family was about to die, Jiang Qiang led the Jiaodong Group Army to take over Jiaoxian County, and swept away those cows, ghosts, snakes and gods at once.

Moreover, Wu Cuihong also became a direct business under Zhaoyuan Commercial Bank, and since then she has lived a happy and worry-free life, so she has long been a die-hard fan of Jiang Qiang! Niu Bo's mother, Feng Shi, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, today's good days are all given to us by Commander Jiang!" Xiaobo, no matter when you are in the future, you have to listen to Commander Jiang's words! ”

Niu Bo patted his chest and said loudly: "That's for sure!" Our Shandong Group Army is a gun in the hands of the commander-in-chief, and he said that he will fight wherever he wants, even if he goes up the knife mountain and goes down to the sea of fire, we will never frown! ”

"Company Commander Niu is right! We will always be soldiers in Commander Jiang's hands, and what his long sword points at is the direction of our attack! "Come, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, let's have a drink together! Toast to today's good day, and to the kindness and wisdom of the general seat! ”

"Cheers!" Niu Bo's words immediately resonated with the two couples at the same table, and the people at the table picked up their wine glasses and touched the glasses steamingly, and then raised their heads and drank them all!

At a table banquet not far away, Li Jinglin, Li Jinglin's parents, his newlywed wife Li Rongyun, Li Rongyun's parents and two elder brothers, Wang Jiacai and Feng Lin, the whole family is really happy and beautiful. Today, their Wang family can be said to be three joys:

Li Jinglin got married, the Li family recognized the god prince Jiacai, Wang Jiacai married Feng Lin again, and Li Rongyun's family came to Zhaoyuan from the occupied area out of the sea of suffering. As for Feng Lin's family, the Ministry of Military Affairs has already sent someone to Guangyuan to pick him up, and if it goes well, he will be able to receive Zhao Yuan in three or five days.

At the same time, this time Wang Qiang and Li Xuenian also got married, and Liu Qingshan and Zhou Haiyan became a pair, achieving a good story of heroes saving beauty! The wedding banquet was eaten until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the bride and groom continued to hang out, taking pictures to show their affection, and a large wave of logistics staff began to clean up the table and clean the scene.

After dark, Jiang Qiang also held an extremely grand fireworks show, which crackled for two hours, making it as lively as the New Year. As for the next link of entering the cave room, Jiang Qiang can't control it, how many times a night, how much time at a time, that's a matter of two people, even if Jiang Qiang can manage the sky and the earth, he can't manage it here!

After watching the fireworks party, Tingting said with envy: "Jiang Qiang, you are so powerful!" It's the first time I've seen such a group wedding, and the big guys are going crazy today! ”

Jiang Qiang said apologetically: "Tingting, I'm really sorry for you, when you married me, it was too simple and shabby!" You've been wronged! Tingting shook her head and smiled: "Jiang Qiang, where are you talking, being able to marry you is a blessing that I have cultivated in my lifetime, where do I have the slightest grievance." ”

And at this moment, Xia Yu, who had finished recording the show, ran to Jiang Qiang's side and began to say happily: "Wow, Mr. Zuo, today's group wedding is so grand and successful, I'm almost dying of envy!" ”

As a woman, where does she not know Xia Yu's careful thoughts, Tingting smiled and quipped: "That's not simple, as long as you are willing to marry into our Jiang family, then it's not beautiful?" Xia Yu stared at Jiang Qiang and chuckled: "Wow! Sister Tingting, you're kidding me again! I'm willing to do it, as long as the head of the seat nods, even if the moth fights the fire, I won't hesitate to do it? ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Jiang Qiang's old face was slightly red, these words were so violent that he didn't dare to answer. As a man, who doesn't like three wives and four concubines, and even fantasizes about having seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courtyards?

Although monogamy in the law of the Republic of China is simply in name only, and concubines have always been commonplace, but with an eye to the future, the new marriage law formulated by Jiang Qiang clearly stipulates that only monogamy can be established in the jurisdiction! Therefore, Jiang Qiang really can't do what he wants, carry out the Ming media marriage with great fanfare, and expand the harem without discipline and bottom line!

In other words, no matter how many women Jiang Qiang sleeps behind his back, no one will say anything, but the wives and concubines on the bright side really can't be increased! For Xia Yu, who wants to marry him wholeheartedly, Jiang Qiang can give her wealth, power, status, and let her enjoy physical happiness, but he can't give her the most deserving name!

Jiang Qiang really doesn't want to wronged this kind and brave girl just for the happiness of the lower half of his body, and let her be a lover for the rest of her life! "Look, I'll just say! The general seat is a good man in the world who is single-minded, alas, it's a pity that I don't have that life! Woo woo, I'm so sad! Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Xia Yu twisted his body "sadly" and wiped his "tears" with his hands. "Ahem, ahem! Don't make a fuss! ”

Jiang Qiang could only interrupt loudly, and then threw out a big move: "Our company over there in the United States has purchased and registered several international freighters, and it will be possible to open international routes after a while!" When the time comes, your parents and eldest brother will come to us by boat, why are you surprised by this news? "Huh? Are you sure? Will we be able to connect directly with the U.S. soon? ”

This big move really had an effect, Xia Yu's expression instantly became extremely exciting, although it is said that he is now happy, but if he can travel freely between the United States and China, it will definitely be beautiful.

Especially if my parents and eldest brother, as well as classmates and friends who have settled in the United States, can go to Shandong to witness their brilliant careers and work together for the rise of China, it is even more a great pride in life. Jiang Qiang nodded very seriously and said: "That's true, the Japanese devils don't dare to turn their faces with Britain, the United States, France and other Western powers now, so I asked Meng Wuan to buy a few steamships in the name of the United States and British companies, and then sent a note to Japan through the U.S. government, opening a route for trade." ”

On the US side, Jiang Qiang already has strong economic strength and influence, and although the US Government will not brazenly sell arms and military supplies to China, there is absolutely no problem in buying some automobiles, grain, gasoline, and other commodities. Of course, buying and selling commodities is a disguise, and Jiang Qiang's ultimate goal is to "export revolution" and the circulation of talents, to dig up the Chinese overseas Chinese studying in the United States, and even the elite talents from various countries to Gaomi, and at the same time send elite talents to Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and other regions for layout.

Xia Yu asked very happily: "Great! If it's officially opened, can I come to Shandong with some of my American friends? Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem, we want to open commercial routes to the whole world, and welcome anyone to come to us for business, as a guest, and to fight together!"

So, you can go back to draw up the list now, write the invitations, and I'll have the invitations you write delivered one by one! "Alright! Then I'll take my leave, Boss, and I'll see you tomorrow. Knowing that this was an eviction order, Xia Yu could only reluctantly wave goodbye, and then disappeared into the crowd with a cheerful pace.

At this time, Tingting smiled and quipped: "Jiang Qiang, if you are embarrassed to say it, I will say it for you!" Our Jiang family needs to spread out the leaves, this girl is really good! I don't think she minds what she doesn't have to do! ”

I don't know if it's because I've taken the genetic evolution liquid that makes it too powerful, Jiang Qiang's athletic ability is absolutely good, but the hit rate is outrageously low. This has been working hard for another half a year, Tingting, Yuko Kitajima and Chen Mingzhu sisters have not moved at all, Jiang Qiang is not in a hurry, but the sisters are in a hurry.

In this era, there is no family planning of "building roads if you want to get rich, having fewer babies and more trees", and the traditional concept of having more children and more blessings occupies an absolute dominant position. "Hey! Since ancient times, it is the most difficult to accept the grace of beauty! Jiang Qiang sighed very hypocritically, saying that he didn't want it, but his body reacted very honestly. Jiang Qiang said with body language: If you are willing to do so, you can still accept the reality happily.

"Hee-hee! I know what that means! Jiang Qiang, you just wait for the good news! Let's go home. Knowing the husband and wife, Jiang Qiang was careful about where to hide Tingting, and with a smile, he took Jiang Qiang's arm and walked to the parking lot in the government compound.

Military Liaison Office of the Red Regime in Jinan City. After watching the grand fireworks show, Wang Zhijun, Ma Yaonan, Ma Tianmin, Huo Shilian, Yang Guofu, Ye Gengxin, Bao Hui and others returned to their residences, and instead of washing and sleeping, they gathered together for an overnight meeting.

Ma Yaonan and others came to Zhaoyuan County as early as a week ago to inspect and study, and in addition to those secret departments, they not only walked around the city of Zhaoyuan County, but also went around several counties around the car.

After a few days, Ma Yaonan and others were completely shocked, from the beginning of the suspicion to the current three views are completely destroyed, the whole process is really upside down and generous. Since it was expected that the meeting time would not be short tonight, everyone made a cup of strong tea after entering the conference room.

"Commander Ma, Deputy Commander Yang, Political Commissar Huo, Staff Officer Ye, Director Bao, Regiment Commander Ma, you have been running a lot of places non-stop these days, and everyone has worked very hard!" After everyone sat down silently, Wang Zhijun said with a smile:

"I should have asked everyone to go back and rest early, but I wanted to take the opportunity of everyone returning to Zhaoyuan to attend the ceremony, and come to discuss the issue of the pilot reform of Yutai County while the iron is hot. We hope you will understand and support! ”

Wang Zhijun was originally just a military liaison representative, and his rank was not high, but with the sudden rise of the Shandong Army, he also rose with the tide and gradually incorporated into the eyes of senior leaders.

Today, Wang Zhijun's actual status is not at all inferior to that of a military general in charge of the sole party, and the organizations of the red regime at all levels in Shandong are under his jurisdiction. A few days ago, Wang Zhijun received a supreme instruction from the Central Committee of the Red Regime, asking him to preside over and coordinate the pilot reform work in Yutai County.

Ma Yaonan said with a smile: "Director Wang, in fact, there is really no hard work, there are cars to pick you up and drop you off, and the food and accommodation are very good, which makes us very uncomfortable!" ”

Yang Guofu said with great emotion: "Yes, until now I still feel that I am still in a dream, the transportation, living conditions, economic level, and urban construction here are too amazing, I really don't know how Commander Jiang did it!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! When I arrived, I felt like a hillbilly who had never seen the world at all! The eyes are blooming! "Well, this time we really benefited a lot, and we saw a lot of things that we couldn't have imagined before!"

"Not to mention anything else, today's group wedding alone is breathtaking, and the financial, material and human resources consumed in it are completely astronomical." "This is the truth, I have a strong intuition, and even feel that if it continues to develop like this, the Shandong Group Army is enough to make the whole world tremble!"

Huo Shilian, Ye Gengxin and others kept nodding their heads in agreement, their hearts were all hot, if the entire Huaxia Yutai County could become so rich and beautiful in the future, how good it would be!

"It's not surprising that even if you've been here for more than a year, you can still feel the changes that are changing with each passing day! Commander Jiang is not only able to win every battle in war, but also has too many amazing means in managing the economy and the people's livelihood. ”

After a pause, Wang Zhijun opened a folder, took out a few photocopied documents from it, and said: "Here are some of the experiences and insights I have summarized, everyone will take a look, and then we will slowly discuss how to govern Yutai County." "Yes! We also happen to have a lot of insights to discuss! "Then let's have a night battle tonight, and if we don't discuss the ugliness, we won't go back to sleep!"

Ma Yaonan, Yang Guofu and others were all enthusiastic, and they all held back their words in their hearts, and quickly picked up the documents distributed by Wang Zhijun and read them carefully. Although it is already half past nine in the evening, and in this era of lack of nightlife, the vast majority of people have fallen asleep, but for Ma Yaonan and others who are in a state of excitement, there is no such thing as late night.
