Chapter 134: Two Medals
Soon, the album "Dongfeng Po" was born, which immediately caused a hot sale, and soon sold out, and EMI had to work overtime to rip.
At the same time, these songs were constantly played on the radio, and countless soldiers and civilians across the country were inspired.
In this situation, the battle for the southeast broke out!

On the same day, Mr. Qing, who had already left the wilderness, made a comeback and formulated the principle of dealing with Japan, that is, "preparing for negotiations on the one hand, and actively resisting on the other," and made a military deployment of "the 19th Army to defend the magic capital with all its might, and the former guard army (i.e., the 87th and 88th Divisions) to defend Nanjing with all its might." The 47th Division (division commander Shangguan Yunxiang) stationed in Bengbu was transferred to Pukou, Nanjing, to prevent the Japanese army from attacking Nanjing.

On February 5, Mr. Qing sent a telegram to Jiang Guangnai: "My brother has been fighting hard for a week, and every time I think of the great sacrifice of the soldiers and the loyalty of their lives, I am saddened. And said, "If necessary, I can personally command ......."
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Central Air Force entered the war, and Huang Yuquan, the deputy captain who had just finished his marriage, died in a crash due to mechanical failure, becoming the first person of the Chinese Air Force to die in the War of Resistance against Japan.
On February 6, Mr. Qing ordered the 88th Division to enter Nanxiang, and the 261st Brigade of the 87th Division moved east from Nanjing to Kunshan. On the 7th, two regiments of the 88th Division Independent Brigade, which was reorganized from the Tax Police Corps of the Ministry of Finance, concentrated in Hongqiao. On February 14, the elite 88th and 87th divisions of the Central Army and the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps were combined into the Fifth Army, with Zhang Zhizhong as the commander and subordinate to the 19th Army Headquarters to participate in the Shanghai War. On the 16th, Zhang Zhizhong led the military headquarters of the Fifth Army and the 259th Brigade of the 87th Division from Nanjing to Nanxiang at night.
On February 9, Mr. Qing transferred the 1st Division of the Army, Hu Shoushan, and the 7th Division to prepare for reinforcement of the 19th Route Army in the Demon Capital.
At that time, due to years of war and turmoil, and the previous year's Jianghuai flood, the national government was in financial distress. As early as late January 1932, many generals of the National Army, including Yu Jishi, a descendant of the 88th Division of the Central Army, and Chen Cheng, commander of the 18th Army, all called one after another, saying that "the lack of food and ammunition has reached the point of running out of cooking" and "the troops have been in arrears for nearly two months, and there is no food."
On February 16, Mr. Qing sent a telegram to Finance Minister Song Ziwen, begging for funds: "Since Japan is in Shanghai and refuses to withdraw its troops, our side can only resist to the end...... The food in Jiangxi and Henan will be tight every day, and the aid will be completely cut off. If my brother can deposit 10 million yuan in Nanchang and 20 million yuan in Zhengzhou, then the government can still operate, and the army can be maintained, or it can survive this difficulty without collapsing. ”
At this time, someone suddenly told him: "The famous singer Xue Xiangwan raised 5.8 million yuan to save the country, and 4.5 million yuan has been included in the state treasury! In addition, the famous scientist Zhu Wan and her daughter Qin Ling donated 1,000 boxes of medicine and opened the "Ci'an Surgical Hospital" to operate on the wounded free of charge!
Mr. Qing was overjoyed and immediately announced that he would award Yan Xue with a "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal" in recognition of her deeds of inspiring the national spirit with her singing, inspiring the morale of the soldiers, and generously donating. At the same time, he also awarded Zhu Wan a "Baoding Medal" to commend the Qin family's contribution to the treatment of the wounded.
It stands to reason that these two medals are mainly awarded to soldiers, but Yan Xue and Zhu Wan, two weak women, also played a role in resisting foreign aggression and defending the country, so getting the medal is also expected!
When the news spread, the newspaper praised the Qin family without sparing pen and ink, and called Yan Xue, Zhu Wan and Qin Ling together as the "Three Heroines of the Qin Family". The great poet Qin Yue was not included in it. The eldest young master, Qin Di, is not even worthy of lifting shoes for them.
The women of the Qin family are dazzling, and the men of the Qin family are gloomy, this is the impression in the hearts of the people of the demon capital.
On the night of May 8, a major event suddenly happened, the Chinese defenders in the southeast heard a violent explosion, and a fire flashed on the sea, and the fire rose into the sky, like fireworks set off on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Many people rushed out of the house and stood on the beach to look out.
"What's going on? The explosion was so loud, could it be that the Japanese warships were fighting our navy?"
"In this war, both the army and the air force fought fiercely, but our navy did not participate in the war! Why did we wait until the storm was calm before we started?"
"In the art of war, it is said that the navy has been lurking until this moment when the flaws of the Japanese warships are discovered?"
The explosion sounded for more than an hour, and then the fire gradually extinguished, and the dead silence returned to the sea.
