The reserved Hangzhou people have never known that the city’s martial arts temperament has existed since ancient times. It has been rumored that during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were many martial arts factions in Hangzhou, each occupying its own territory. There were eighteen Arhats along the lakeside, and three in the city station.
There are 16 Tiangang, 72 Disha in Jianggan, and 108 generals in Gongchen Bridge. From the late Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, Hangzhou produced more than 50 famous martial artists.
Chinese Kung Fu has been practiced since ancient times. Zhang Shun claimed to be a swordsman from Hangzhou. He was dressed in white and thought he was suave and brave. Meng Da let out an earth-shaking roar, and his flying figure quickly pounced on him.
In front of Zhang Shun, he was surprised. He had already lost to the opponent in terms of momentum. When he saw Meng Da punch him, he quickly shrank and jumped into the crowd.
"Hahahaha!" Thousands of people in the square burst out laughing, but the young man was defeated before the duel even started.
"Traditional Chinese martial arts is not just about strength, but more about wit." Meng Da had already flown back to his original place, looked at the embarrassed young man, and taught him a lesson with a smile.
Zhang Shun was only thirteen years old, but he had been practicing martial arts for ten years. Hearing that the Japanese army was attacking Shanghai, he secretly carried his master on his back from his hometown and ran here. He originally wanted to show off his skills to gain fame, but he didn't expect that Meng Da's boxing and kicking skills were so good. He was convinced.
He walked out of the crowd and arrived in front of Mengda. He knelt down on one leg and said, "Take me in."
"Okay!" Meng Da didn't hesitate at all. He pulled up Zhang Shun and shouted to the people: "Folks, the little devil has invaded our land. If you don't resist, you will be a slave to the country. I am from Quzhou. In order to protect my family,
The people gave up the scalpel and formed a people's army. The Communists ran away, are you willing to hand over Hangzhou to the little devils?"
"I don't want to!" The crowd was excited, raising their fists and shouting in unison.
"We have no choice but to pick up our guns and fight the Japanese to the end!" Meng Da glanced at the crowd and shouted loudly: "A hot-blooded man will never become a slave to the subjugation of his country. He will fight against the Japanese for our hometown!"
"Fight!"
The condolences turned into a mobilization meeting, and Meng Da was deeply moved by the enthusiastic calls in the square. He secretly made up his mind to lead the civilian army to protect the elders in his hometown! Zhao Wenlong walked over with a smile and said to the young man: "Commander Meng,
Hangzhou's safety depends on you."
"Commander Meng?" Meng Da opened his mouth in surprise.
"Hahahaha, you are a well-deserved commander of the civilian army." Zhao Wenlong laughed heartily and held up the horizontal plaque sent by the Chamber of Commerce: "Everyone, please see, this is a reward given to our commander by the elders in my hometown!"
"Wow!"
The horizontal plaque flashed with four large golden characters, and it read powerfully: "Kill all the Japanese pirates!"
"Salute!" Meng Da solemnly raised his right hand. He took the banner and shouted to the people: "On behalf of the People's Army, I promise to the villagers that the People's Army will fight to the end until the Japanese invaders leave China!"
"Fight bloody to the end, fight bloody to the end!" The audience cheered, and Zhu Jiahua, standing at the back, flashed his eyes excitedly with tears. These are his disciples. For the sake of the nation and country, every Chinese should stand up!
In the teahouse opposite the square, a window opened, revealing two heads. One was Mao Renfeng's younger brother Mao Wanli, and the other was Zhang Tingfa, the commander of the Zhejiang Military Command. The superior issued an order to blow up all the buildings in Hangzhou.
Zhu Jiahua interfered but failed. Fortunately, the people's army defended the front line of the Huangpu River and the city of Hangzhou was not occupied by the Japanese army.
"Sir, this militia -" Zhang Tingfa hesitated and did not continue. The Communist Party has disappointed the people of Zhejiang, but the sudden growth of the militia will threaten the regime of the Republic of China?
"He is an anti-Japanese hero. He defeated the enemy many times in the battle to defend Shanghai. We cannot make a hasty decision on this matter, so we should report it as soon as possible." Mao Wanli felt that the stakes were high and he would be punished if he did not handle it well.
"If he continues to develop like this, I'm afraid Zhejiang will become a world dominated by the militia!" Zhang Tingfa was very conflicted in his heart. He was afraid that the militia would become too powerful, but he also hoped that they would block the enemy's attack.
"The principal has issued a declaration of national resistance to the war. I think the principal will be happy when he hears it." Mao Wanli is very smart and the political power is still in the hands of the Kuomintang. However, in order to prevent Zhu Jiahua and Meng Da from joining forces to achieve ulterior motives, the chairman must be advised to
This person was transferred out of Zhejiang.
"The people's army blocked the Japanese army's attempt to attack Hangzhou?" Chiang Kai-shek, who was having a headache about the Nanjing battlefield, opened his eyes after listening to Dai Li's report.
"Yes! The Japanese 11th Division launched a massive attack, and more than a thousand people were wiped out by the civilian army on the Huangpu River." Dai Li did not dare to hide the matter, and reported in detail the intelligence held by the military commander.
"Meng Da is a talent!" When Chiang Kai-shek heard Meng Da's name, he naturally thought of many rumors he heard in Shanghai.
"Zhu Jiahua is a trouble!" Dai Li carefully reminded Chiang Kai-shek that all government orders were not implemented in Zhejiang, which was closely related to Zhu Jiahua's interference.
"Since the Japanese army has stopped attacking, we should also send troops there. Tell Gu Zhutong of the Third War Zone. Tao Guang was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the 10th Group Army, commander-in-chief of the First Guerrilla Zone of the Third War Zone and commander of the 28th Army.
The 62nd Division, the 192nd Division, the 16th Division, and the 63rd Division under the 28th Army are stationed in Hangzhou!"
Chiang Kai-shek believed that the four divisions of the Communist Party were enough to stop the Japanese army from attacking Hangzhou. He could not let the people lose trust in the Communist Party, let alone see the militia develop and grow. Dai Li nodded shrewdly, hoping to take the opportunity to transfer Zhu Jiahua away as well.
Zhejiang. After thinking deeply, Chiang Kai-shek said: "Let Zhu Jiahua come to Wuhan, and Huang Shaohong will be the chairman of Zhejiang Province."
"The principal is wise!" When Dai Li heard that a military general had been appointed as the chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Government, he immediately flattered him happily.
After receiving the order, Zhu Jiahua knew that something was wrong. He secretly brought Meng Da to his house, closed the door and sighed: "My child, our hopes may be ruined!"
"Could it be that Chiang Kai-shek had to give Hangzhou to the Japanese army?" Meng Da was furious. He had no desire to serve the country, but he didn't expect to be discouraged by the petty chairman.
"Tao Guang, Shangguan Yunxiang is not a good person. Since the Communist Party has returned to the Hangzhou area, you should take your men home." Zhu Jiahua already understood that Chiang Kai-shek did not want to see the militia grow stronger.
Meng Da knew his mentor's difficulties, and suddenly he felt something in his heart and said: "Teacher, I will move towards the west and join forces with General Xue Yue to fight against the enemy."
"West!" Zhu Jiahua walked to the map and looked at it for a long time, pointed at Wuyuan County and said: "Occupy this place and your hometown, don't expose too many troops, develop quietly and wait for the opportunity."
"High!" Meng Da understood the meaning of his teacher's words. Wuyuan County is a small mountainous county, and the Communist Party of China does not actually station troops here. As long as you occupy these two places, it is very convenient to go east, west, north, and south.
"Big trees attract the wind, remember, remember!" Zhu Jiahua repeatedly told his favorite student. He didn't want the student's will to resist Japan to be wiped out, but he also didn't want him to be killed because of it.
“Students understand!”
The Japanese army came, and the people's army left the Huangpu River defense line in the farewell of all the people. Meng Da, who was so cruel, did not leave any materials donated by the people to Tao Guang, and ordered Fang Zhenshan to break up the troops into pieces and head towards his hometown in Kaihua County.
Departure. Police Chief Zhao Wenlong reluctantly grabbed Meng Da: "Xianqi, if Hangzhou is in trouble one day, I hope you can put aside your grudges and come to save everyone!"
"Don't worry, Director Zhao. If Hangzhou is lost, I will definitely take it back for you!" After all, this is the provincial capital of his hometown, and Meng Da doesn't want the little devil to harm the people here.
"Hey, you are a master of great achievements!" Zhao Wenlong knew very well that Chiang Kai-shek didn't know how to appreciate talents, so he forced this tiger general to go home and work in vain.
Meng Da left, and the people's army left Hangzhou. But no one knew that the new recruits who were training were nowhere to be seen. Tao Guang returned to Hangzhou and hurriedly went to Zhao Wenlong: "Hurry up and hand over the three newly recruited security divisions."
Give me."
"Security guard?" Zhao Wenlong deliberately pretended to be confused and stared: "You are talking about the people's army, right? Shangfeng ordered people to evacuate. You can only go to Meng Da to negotiate this matter."
Tao Guang was shocked. He originally wanted to take over the men and guns of the three divisions, but he didn't expect Meng Da to take them all away. The Chairman of the Generalissimo ordered ** to take over the defense, but did not ask them to hand over their weapons. He asked awkwardly: "Where is the place?"
Didn’t any of the security team’s weapons remain?”
"Hey, I begged hard and finally left a batch of weapons for my police station." Zhao Wenlong pretended to be pitiful. After Tao Guang left, he said angrily: "Bah, what is that! He ran away before he saw the Japanese.
Seeing that they were blocking the Japanese army, they came back to seize the territory!"
"Once the Japanese army learns of the departure of the civilian army, they will immediately readjust their attack on Hangzhou. If a place has to be lost, the people's property in this place still belongs to China. We will come back one day. We cannot burn our city to the ground.
, in that case, it is our own people who will be harmed."
Zhu Jiahua walked out, and before leaving, he gave Zhao Wenlong and Zhou Xiangxian a serious explanation to prevent the military commander from implementing the scorched earth policy again and blowing up Hangzhou. The three government officials nodded frequently, saying that they would definitely protect everything in Hangzhou. He sighed and said: "
Once the Japanese take over Hangzhou, I will let Meng Da lead the people's army to fight back. He will not let me down or let the people of Hangzhou down!"
"Chairman Zhu, the cavalry brigade of the People's Army has been ordered to escort you to Wuchang!" Lu Shijie strode over and stood opposite Zhu Jiahua to convey Meng Da's order.
"Oh, it would be a great honor for me to be escorted by your iron cavalry!" Zhu Jiahua laughed happily.
"Our young master is waiting for you in Quzhou, and he will escort you personally!" Lu Shijie smiled brightly, knowing that Zhu Jiahua would be surprised.
"This kid! He hasn't gone home yet, but he worries so much for me." Zhu Jiahua sighed. There are too few students like this.
