Heroes of the Resistance Reborn

After waiting for a while, Luo Ronghuan and Li Jiansheng looked at each other again, and Luo Ronghuan coughed lightly. The conference room suddenly became quiet. It seemed that everyone knew that the military and political leaders had something to say, and they all came to the rostrum to watch.

Luo Ronghuan glanced at

, seeing that everyone had calmed down, he said: "Please conduct an analysis of the domestic situation, Commander-in-Chief!" Li Jiansheng also put down his tea cup at this time and continued the second agenda item of today's meeting: analyzing the current domestic situation and the future situation.

Prejudgment.

Li Jiansheng got straight to the point and talked about the current situation, that is, after the "Double Twelve" Xi'an Incident, the domestic civil war between the two parties will temporarily come to an end, because the current top priority has been transformed from internal conflicts to resisting foreign invasion.

Any hostilities between the country and the Communist Party will be a matter between brothers; but now the Japanese invasion of China is a top priority, and it is necessary for brothers to put aside their differences and fight against foreign aggression together!

Next, Li Jiansheng carefully analyzed the situation in Japan. He believed that Japan had successively launched the "September 18th" incident, the "January 28th" incident, and finally completely invaded Northeast China, which was the beginning of the gradual destruction of China.

Li Jiansheng analyzed that this kind of aggression needs to be traced back to the era of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

As early as 1582, after unifying Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was determined to abandon Chinese culture. Toyotomi Hideyoshi believed that in order to conquer China, he must first conquer Korea, and finally conquer India, act as the hegemon of Asia, and establish a country that includes Japan, China, India, and Korea.

A great Asian empire within Japan, which was the beginning of Japan’s idea of ​​conquering Asia in the following hundreds of years. In 1582 and

In 1587, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched the so-called Korean Conquest War twice. Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty sent generals Li Rubai and Deng Zilong to Korea twice to attack the Japanese pirates head-on and defeat the Japanese army. Toyotomi Hideyoshi fell ill and finally died on August 18, 1598.

He died of Japanese disease, and the Japanese army was forced to completely evacuate North Korea, which gave China 300 years of tranquility and peace.

Later, Japan carried out the Meiji Restoration, and the prototype and practice of Japan's militarism strategy initially took shape. From 1867 to 1894, Japan embarked on the path of militarism through the integrated development of the Meiji Restoration, and the military-controlled General Staff Headquarters controlled the Japanese cabinet.

, annexed Ryukyu in 1872, and at the same time completely denied that the Qing Dynasty was the suzerainty of Korea. This was tantamount to clearing the periphery of direct invasion of China.

In 1880, Yamagata Aritomo, the head of the General Staff Headquarters, compiled the "Strategy for Leading the National Army", emphasizing that China and Japan were bound to have a war and must strengthen military expansion and preparations for war. Ten years later, in March 1890, Yamagata Aritomo made a special memorial to Japan's Meiji

The Emperor throws out the so-called "sovereignty line"

" and the "line of interests" theory of aggression and expansion. The so-called "way of defending the country" is: first, defending the territory; second, annexing North Korea; third, invading China. Li Jiansheng pointed out that this memorial and this so-called "way of defending the country" have been

Emperor Meiji positioned himself as the fundamental way of Japan!

Li Jiansheng then painfully recalled that under this "strategic approach", Japanese militarists suddenly attacked a Chinese troop transport ship on July 25, 1894, launching the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. In the end, the entire Beiyang Navy of China was annihilated! Japan forced China to sign

The "Xinchou Treaty" was concluded, and China was forced to cede Taiwan and the Penghu Islands, and at the same time pay 230 million taels of silver as war compensation! This was equivalent to China's ten years of GDP at that time!

Li Jiansheng pointed out that Japan used the 230 million taels of silver war reparations extorted from China to accumulate capital at a high speed, develop modern education, industry and commerce, and military industry, and fully prepare for further invasion of China! China, on the other hand, used its own This amount of money has created sworn enemies!

"Our China, the Westernization Movement, declared a complete failure with the annihilation of the Beiyang Navy! Our first effort towards modernization was interrupted!" Li Jiansheng's sentimental voice suddenly stopped. He needed to soothe his chest. That depressing atmosphere!

Everyone in the conference room, whether it was Luo Ronghuan sitting on the rostrum, Zeng Zhongsheng, Yuntian, Liu Qiao sitting in the first row, Yang Zhishen, Luo Dekai, Niu Dali, Bai Kaishan in the second row, or Shen Zhi, Shang Zhiyuan and others in the back row all looked lonely and angry. But no one said anything, knowing that the commander-in-chief Li Jiansheng must have something to say. For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was extremely depressed. , it was dull and silent.

Li Jiansheng sighed inwardly, calmed himself down, took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, opened it by himself, popped one out, and ignored others, lightly lit it with a match, and inhaled heavily. One puff. He didn't smoke before, but now he is becoming more and more accustomed to this action. Except for him, no one else smoked in the entire conference room, including several old smokers, Guo Hu, Guo Daguo, Xu Zhengfang, Lao Cai Zhong, Niu Dali, etc. Zeng Zhongsheng has never smoked, which is a typical military habit. Luo Ronghuan did not smoke at the moment, but quietly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case Li Jiansheng placed on the table and put it in his nose He sniffed hard before saying nothing.

Li Jiansheng paused, took another deep breath, and then continued his speech. His usually rich voice seemed particularly cold at this time: "In the Russo-Japanese War from 1904 to 1905, Japan and Russia passed the "Portsmouth" The Peace Treaty classified Russia as Japan's sphere of influence in Inner Mongolia and Northeast China. Japan called the above areas "Manchuria and Mongolia" as its exclusive territory and a forward base for aggression against China. Comrades, that is China's land, but it is occupied by Russia and Japan. They have been successively divided into spheres of influence. How can such a thing make sense in such a big world? But it happened right next to us!" After saying that, Li Jiansheng took another deep breath. However, it seemed that this breath was too strong and he choked all of a sudden. . After coughing twice, Li Jiansheng took another sip of water and continued to explain:

In 1915, Japan proposed twenty-one principles for the destruction of China to Yuan Shikai; in 1921, the Hara Noble Cabinet of Japan formulated the "Policy towards Manchuria and Mongolia". In 1927, after the post-war economic crisis and the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, Japan's fanatical militarism The communist Giichi Tanaka came to power to form a cabinet, and soon held the Oriental Conference. At the meeting, Tanaka issued the "China Policy Programme". After the meeting, based on the spirit of the conference and the essence of the above-mentioned program, Tanaka reported to the emperor: "If you want to conquer China, you must first Conquer Manchuria and Mongolia; if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China."

"This is the infamous Tanaka Memorial!" Li Jiansheng said: "This memorial details the steps and methods for implementing the above aggressive strategy. I believe that this Tanaka Memorial marks the final formation and large-scale implementation of Japan's policy toward China. Japan regards Korea and Manchuria and Mongolia as its lifeline, and its fundamental strategy and essence is to ultimately invade China and conquer the world!"

Li Jiansheng went on to point out that at the same time, the Emperor of Japan used traditional Japanese Shintoism and the military to strengthen his rule and supreme status over the country; Japanese fascists also encouraged the establishment of a power political system with the Emperor as the absolute authority. The Emperor of Japan

The combination of totalitarian politics with the military and ultra-nationalists formed Japan's fascist ideology; Japan eventually embarked on the path of all-out aggression against China! "All this disrupted China's second effort to modernize!"

After finishing speaking, Li Jiansheng paused, lit another cigarette, and continued to count Japan's sins:

In July 1926, Chiang Kai-shek led the Chinese National Revolutionary Army to begin the Northern Expedition. After the formation of the Tanaka Cabinet, they obstructed the National Government's Northern Expedition;

In May 1928, Japan sent troops to our Shandong Province and caused the Jinan Massacre;

On June 3, 1928, Zhang Zuolin was killed in the Huanggutun bombing. The reason was that Zhang Zuolin was unwilling to be a puppet of Japan and hindered the "Manchuria and Mongolia" policy of the Japanese militarist forces. Fortunately, the Northeastern authorities Zhang Xueliang properly handled this incident

,and

And the Northeast Rebellion was successfully implemented on December 29, 1928. This time, Japan did not achieve the goal of occupying the three northeastern provinces. However, Japan's established national policy and strategy did not change at this time. It was the prelude and the prelude to the September 18th Incident three years later.

exercise.

In May 1931, Shintaro Nakamura, a spy of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, was caught in Northeast China for espionage activities and escaped and was shot to death. Japan insulted China and accused China of killing Nakamura, which greatly created public opinion about the war of aggression against China;

In July 1931, Japan encouraged the Koreans to occupy Chinese farmland in Wanbaoshan, Changchun, and instigated the Korean gangsters to deliberately destroy Chinese farmers' farmland on a large scale. After the Chinese farmers obstructed them, the Japanese military and police shot and killed many Chinese farmers, and in North Korea

Make up the lie "Chinese farmers kill North Koreans,

China ordered the expulsion of Koreans", inciting anti-Chinese trends, and riots against China broke out in Pyongyang, resulting in the death of more than 80 Chinese people. This was the "Wanbaoshan Incident" in history. This time, Japan fabricated lies to create a crisis in Manchuria and Mongolia.

Public opinion pushed the incident to the brink of war and prepared for the war of aggression against China.

At this point, Li Jiansheng stopped again, smoked all the cigarettes in one breath, and glanced at everyone sitting in the conference room. Then Li Jiansheng slowly talked about the "September 18th" Liutiao Lake incident:

After the Nakamura Incident and the Wanbaoshan Incident, the Japanese fascist forces incited unprecedented war enthusiasm and made a series of war preparations. Now there was only one excuse for war. The Japanese Military Ministry formulated detailed plans and action plans. In September 1931,

On the evening of September 18, the Japanese Kwantung Army, in accordance with the military plan, ignited pre-planted explosives on the Liutiao Lake section of the South Manchuria Railway, blew up the track, and then falsely claimed that the Chinese army had blown up the railway. At the same time, the Kwantung Army bombarded them fiercely.

and attack

In the Beida Camp of the Northeastern Army, the Japanese Cabinet issued a statement: "This operation of the Kwantung Army is a self-defense operation against China." The Emperor of Japan also approved the decision of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters. "The Military Headquarters hopes to solve the Manchuria and Mongolia issue together." What is hateful is that,

Hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops retreated without firing a single shot. Japan achieved national unity and finally invaded the three northeastern provinces of China. The large amount of gold and heavy weapons left by the Northeastern troops in the Northeast, including an arsenal, were all occupied by Japan.

have!

"Bang!" Before Li Jiansheng could finish his words, he saw Niu Dali slam the table next to him and stand up. The table made a "crash" sound and was struck by Niu Dali's palm.

, and was shaken away at that time. When Li Jiansheng looked at Niu Dali, he saw that the boy didn't look like a teacher at all. His eyes were red and round, and he was obviously very angry and uncomfortable with what he just said.

Just now

He lost his composure in desperation. Looking again, which one of the others was not extremely angry? He just didn't have an attack. Niu Dali's character has always been like this, which is understandable. Of course, Luo Ronghuan, who was sitting next to Li Jiansheng, also knew the reason for Niu Dali's behavior and stretched out his hand to signal

Niu Dali sat down, and Yang Zhishen and Li Qing sat on both sides of Niu Dali, urging him to sit down. Niu Dali also realized that he was losing his temper and sat down, panting.

However, Li Jiansheng did not stop and continued to talk about the "January 28th Incident". However, this time Li Jiansheng decided to take some time to seriously introduce to everyone the dishonesty and shamelessness of the Japanese, so that when his troops encounter the Japanese army in the future,

Just do whatever you want to do to avoid suffering any losses. So, he introduced in detail this incident that also filled him with righteous indignation.

After the September 18th Incident, in order to cover up the conspiracy of the Japanese Kwantung Army to concoct the puppet government of Manchukuo, Seishiro Itagaki, a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, colluded with Tanaka Takayoshi, the assistant military attache of the Japanese Embassy in Shanghai, and planned to cause trouble in Shanghai.

Tanaka Takayoshi and the female spy Kawashima Yoshiko planned and instigated the Japanese monk Amasaki Kaisho and five other people to throw stones at the workers' volunteer army at the China Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. General Factory on Mayushan Road and fight with the workers on January 18, 1932.

Tanaka

The gangsters and traitors took the opportunity to beat two Japanese monks to serious injuries. The Japanese side reported that one of them died in the hospital. Then they used this as an excuse to instruct a group of thugs from the Japanese Overseas Chinese Youth Gay Association to burn down the Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. late at night on the 19th and hack them to death.

Injured three Chinese police officers. On the 20th, they incited more than a thousand overseas Chinese to gather and march, strongly demanding that the Japanese Consul General and the Marine Corps intervene. On the 21st, the Japanese Consul General Murai Somatsu offered an apology, punishment and compensation to the mayor of Shanghai.

disband resistance

Four unreasonable demands from Japanese groups. On the 22nd, Koichi Shiozawa, commander of Japan’s 1st Foreign Expedition Fleet in Shanghai, issued a threatening statement, stepping up preparations for war on the grounds of protecting overseas Chinese and deploying troops from Japan to Shanghai. On the 27th, Murai sent troops to Shanghai

The municipal authorities issued an ultimatum, requiring a satisfactory reply before 18:00 on the 28th, otherwise necessary actions will be taken. In order to concentrate its forces to "suppress the Communists" in Jiangxi, the Kuomintang government continued to implement a policy of non-resistance against Japan. He Yingqin, Minister of Military and Political Affairs, urgently

The 19th Route Army endured the humiliation and asked for mercy, causing Shanghai Mayor Wu Tiecheng to accept all the unreasonable demands made by the Japanese at 13:45 on the 28th. Chiang Kai-shek, who was temporarily out of office, entrusted the Kuomintang veteran Zhang Jingjiang to persuade Cai Tingkai to avoid conflict with the Japanese army.

The 16th Military Police Regiment was mobilized to take over the defense of the 19th Route Army in Shanghai. The Japanese side received Wu Tiecheng's reply and expressed "satisfaction", but on the grounds of protecting overseas Chinese, they demanded that the Chinese troops withdraw from Zhabei and did not wait for a reply so that they could raid Zhabei that night.

At the beginning of the incident, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai had more than 1,800 Marines and more than 4,000 armed Japanese overseas Chinese. They had more than 40 aircraft and dozens of armored vehicles. They were also distributed in the Hongkou Concession and Yangshupu, and there were 23 naval ships cruising outside the Yangtze River Estuary.

and on the Huangpu River, under the command of Commander Shiosawa Koichi of the Navy's 1st Foreign Expedition Fleet. At midnight on January 28, they raided Zhabei in three groups and captured Tiantong'an Station and

Shanghai North Railway Station. Under the command of Commander-in-Chief Jiang Guangnai and Army Commander Cai Tingkai, our army and people rose up to resist the war. Our party organized workers and students to fully support this anti-Japanese war force. In the end, our army and people fought back

Defeated the Japanese troops attacking from Yokohama Road, Qiujiang Road, and Baoshan Road, and recaptured Tiantong'an Station and Shanghai North Railway Station on the 29th. The Japanese troops retreated from the concession and reached a ceasefire agreement through "mediation" by the consuls of the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries.

But this was just a delaying tactic. On the one hand, Japan issued a statement threatening the Chinese government on the 29th, falsely accusing the Shanghai incident of being caused by China's anti-Japanese movement. As of February 2, the Japanese military had deployed 2 additional aircraft carriers and 12 warships of various types from the country.

, 7,000 Marines were sent to assist Shanghai. On the 3rd, the Japanese army broke the ceasefire agreement and attacked the gate again.

It attacked north and was repelled by the defenders. The Japanese cabinet then sent an additional 3rd Fleet and Army Kurume mixed brigade to assist Shanghai. The commander of the 3rd Fleet, Koshizaburo Nomura, took over the command of Shiozawa. However, it was repelled again, and the British, American and other consuls

China came forward to "mediate" again, waiting for reinforcements. China was fooled again, giving the Japanese an opportunity to increase their troops.

The battle situation in Shanghai was unfavorable to the Japanese army. On February 14, the Japanese cabinet transferred the 9th Army Division to participate in the war, and the commander of the 9th Division, Kenkichi Ueda, was placed under the unified command. On the same day, the Chinese government sent Zhang Zhizhong, who was invited to fight against Japan, as the commander of the 5th Army and led the army.

The 87th and 88th divisions of the headquarters and the training corps of the Central Army Military Academy increased

The 19th Route Army is under the unified command of the 19th Route Army to assist Shanghai. It takes over the defense line from the northern end of Jiangwan through Miaoxing to the western end of Wusong. It is the left-wing army. The 19th Route Army is the right-wing army and is responsible for the defense line south of Jiangwan, Dachang and downtown Shanghai.

Defense. On the 18th, Ueda issued an ultimatum, threatening the Chinese defenders to withdraw before 17:00 on the 20th.

They retreated 20 kilometers, but Cai Tingkai sternly refused. On the 20th, Ueda ordered the Japanese army to attack across the entire front. They adopted the strategy of breaking through in the center and rolling in from both wings. The 9th Division led the attack on Jiangwan and the temple line junction, in an attempt to besiege Wusong with the Kurume Brigade in the north.

Nan and the Marines encircled Zhabei. The defending 19th Route Army stood side by side with the 5th Army.

We fought closely and used the Yangtze River Delta water network zone and existing fortifications to fight tenaciously, and organized troops with strong combat effectiveness to attack the enemy at the junction of the river bay and the temple. After six days and nights of fighting, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses and switched from a full-line offensive to

It is a key attack, and then the key attack is forced to suspend the attack.

The Songhu Anti-Japanese War inspired the whole country. Officers and soldiers from the rear volunteered to fight the war. Chiang Kai-shek refused to send more troops to Shanghai. The Japanese cabinet decided to form a Shanghai Expeditionary Army and sent former Army Minister Shirakawa Yoshinori as commander for unified command. From February 27, Shanghai Day

The army received additional troops from the 11th and 14th Army Divisions, and the total strength increased to 90,000, with 80 warships and 300 aircraft. The combat effectiveness increased sharply. At that time, the total strength of the Chinese garrison was less than 50,000, the equipment was poor, and the economy

A month of hard fighting, casualties comparison

Seriously, the river defense in the Liuhe area on the left was weak. Baichuan learned from the failure of the frontal attack by the previous three commanders and decided to land at Liuhe on the flank and attack the Songhu defenders from both sides. On March 1, he commanded the 9th Division and other units to attack in the front.

Song, Hu, ranked 3rd

The fleet escorted the 11th Division into the mouth of the Yangtze River, and suddenly landed at Liuhekou, Yanglinkou, and Qiyakou, quickly outflanking the defenders' retreat. The Songhu defenders were attacked from both sides and were forced to retreat to Jiading and Taicang. On the 2nd, the Japanese army captured Shanghai.

, the fighting ended on the 3rd.

"This is the entire story of the January 28th Incident." Li Jiansheng concluded: "In this battle, our army fought bloody battles with the support of the people, continuously defeated the Japanese offensive, caused the enemy to change its generals three times, and increased its troops several times, resulting in more than 10,000 casualties.

Received a heavy blow." After a pause, Li Jiansheng said sadly, but it's a pity that

The Nationalist Government compromised and stopped sending reinforcements. The defenders were outnumbered, and the defense line was finally broken through by the Japanese army from the flanks and forced to retreat. Later, with the mediation of Britain, the United States, France, Italy and other countries, China and Japan negotiated, and on May 5

The Chinese government and Japan signed the "Songhu Armistice Agreement" which was humiliating and humiliating to the country.

Amid sighs in the conference room, Li Jiansheng took a sip of water, sorted out his thoughts, lit another cigarette, and continued: "In March 1933, the Japanese army sent troops to occupy Rehe and attacked various passes of the Great Wall.

, the 29th Army of the National Revolutionary Army commanded by Song Zheyuan fought hard, but the Japanese army still broke through Lengkou and Gubeikou and entered the pass. Special explanation is needed.

What is surprising is that Gubeikou was captured because traitors led the Japanese army to cross the Great Wall through a gap in the mountain road and outflank it. At this time, the Japanese army also hoped to stabilize the Northeast for a period of time. Through the then Peking Political Affairs Committee Chairman Huang Yong and the Japanese Kwantung Army Deputy

Chief of Staff Okamura Neiji secretly negotiated. Finally, He Yingqin, acting chairman of the Peking Branch of the Nationalist Government Military Commission, appointed all

On behalf of Army Lieutenant General Xiong Bin and Okamura Neiji, Quan signed the armistice agreement in Tanggu on the morning of May 31, 1933. At the time of signing, Okamura Neiji first proposed the draft armistice agreement and explained that it was for the Kwantung Army.

The final decision cannot be changed. The Chinese representative is required to give a reply before 11 a.m. whether he agrees or not. In response to the "China representative" proposed by the Chinese representative Xiong Bin,

The National Army Representative’s Opinion on the Armistice Agreement was ignored. Okamura firmly stated that China could only answer “promise” or “no” to the draft armistice agreement proposed by Japan, and that all statements must wait for the signing of the armistice agreement before discussion.

The two sides were in a stalemate until 10:50, with only 10 minutes left before the deadline. Xiong Bin was forced to sign a Japanese proposal that could not be modified.

Glancing at the blood-red eyes and distorted faces in the conference room, Li Jiansheng paused for a moment. Then what surprised him was that no one made any unexpected move, just silence. Silence, silence,

Either perish in silence or

Exploded in silence! Thinking of Lu Xun's famous sayings, Li Jiansheng sighed in his heart. He continued to speak: It is undeniable that the desperate resistance of our armed forces against Japan has allowed Japan to see China's determination to resist. At the same time, because of the need to consolidate the already invaded war

land, so day

Japan has not launched a continuous war of aggression against China for some time. "However, this is not that Japan will no longer invade us. It is that they are not ready yet. Once they are ready, they will fully invade China!" Li Jiansheng pointed out that after three years,

Time to prepare, now Japan has

We have made preparations for a full-scale invasion of China. He asserted that Japan will fully invade China in as long as three months or as short as half a year. If we are not prepared and do not resist a full-scale war, every one of us sitting here, our sons and daughters, will

All descendants will always be named: slaves of subjugation!
