Li Ming was anxious, fearing that Li Tiejun would immediately make a decision that he did not want to hear, so he immediately took over and said: "No rush, Captain Li will have tea first, and you can think about it for a while before making a statement. Seeing as we are fellow villagers, alumni, comrades-in-arms and
For the sake of your family, I will give you some reference opinions from your perspective. It is up to you whether to adopt them or not. My opinion is that it is better to stay than to go!"
Li Ming paused for a moment. Seeing that the other party was listening carefully and seemed to be anticipating the next step, he continued: "Why do you want to be a soldier? To protect your family and country and resist foreign enemies. This is also the purpose of you and me joining the army. What if we stay in the national army?"
?On that day, tens of thousands of Japanese troops invaded the three northeastern provinces. The instructions received by our hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops were to 'try not to cause friction with the Japanese troops', 'exchange time for space', etc. In the end, it was just one sentence, no resistance! I
After seeing through it, the authorities valued their own right to rule, not the life and death of the people, and the integrity of the country, which was no different from the policy of the Qing government to cede territory and seek peace. The Japanese did not buy it, and after occupying the three northeastern provinces, they clamored to occupy them for three months.
All over China, and a puppet regime was established. The authorities became anxious, feeling that their position was in danger, and had to start resisting the Japanese army. And at this time, they did not forget to eliminate dissidents to consolidate their ruling position."
Li Ming took a sip of tea and continued: "Under the pressure of the people's call for resistance, the government integrated the Communist Party's troops into the Eighth Route Army. The New Fourth Army also closely monitored, controlled expansion, and limited defensive areas. Besides, our 19th Route Army resisted Japan.
The British name is known to all the people in the country, but what is the outcome? Because a large number of the cadres did not obey the Chairman's words. The Chairman said, "Aren't they very good at fighting?" They were transferred to Fujian to "suppress the Communists". The 19th Route Army suffered heavy casualties.
, and transferred a large number of its backbones to other units, the 19th Route Army was just dispersed. It is really chilling! In addition, if I am not afraid of offending you, the Chairman is very suspicious, and there is no captured national army general and unit.
It was reused after I returned!"
When Li Ming got to the point, his eyes shone: "You think, if your troops stay and fight against Japan with us, they will have no scruples and will be free."

Li Ming kept talking, and Li Tiejun fell into deep thought. What the other party said was not the truth. Li Tiejun was loyal to the Chairman, but he had some criticisms of the anti-Japanese policy of the principal who had delivered many impassioned and patriotic speeches at Whampoa Military Academy. The Chairman
He often goes back on his words, being active in the civil war and passive in the war of resistance. He never forgets to consolidate his dominance and eliminate dissidents. Everything Li Ming said makes sense. It seems that this fellow is very close to him.
Li Tiejun is well aware that the treatment of direct and non-direct troops in the national army is very different, and they do not agree with each other. There is little unity between the various troops, and warlords seldom care about the life and death of friendly troops at critical moments in order to preserve their own power. Otherwise,
, his regiment will not be left alone, exhausted of ammunition and food, and reduced to prisoners of war. He is very worried about the future of his troops, and it is a difficult choice where to go.
In any case, my regiment was defeated in the battle. We lost many soldiers and became prisoners of war. We have no face to go back and we don’t know how to deal with them. Moreover, the troops have no supplies now and they have a lot of sick and wounded with them. It is not easy to go back.
!
Staying here is probably an expedient measure. There is a rule in the national army that if the troops are dispersed, those who continue to resist the Japanese will not be considered deserters. It would be best if we could stay to rest the troops, replenish some personnel, and fight a few victorious battles before going back.
Li Ming is enthusiastic, but judging from the lukewarm look of his captain, he can think highly of our unit, which has been a prisoner of war, and will he sincerely keep us? Even if he keeps me, will the Anti-Japanese Tigers be the big fish and the small ones?
Did the fish disrupt our organization and disperse our personnel? In that case, he would have no military power, and his dream of using all his life's knowledge to serve the country and fulfill his ambition would also come to nothing. Li Tiejun sighed secretly, feeling like fifteen buckets of water were drawn from him.
He was up and down, his eyebrows furrowed into a deep "chuan", and his melancholy was beyond words.
