Chapter 438: The Anti-Japanese War Version of Loyalty to the Country
End of November.
He Wensheng and his party set out from Luoyang, detoured around the outskirts of Zhongtiao Mountain, then took the road to Changzhi, and finally arrived at Tainan.
The 32 talents found during this trip included 20 managers and 12 technical backbones from various factories who had fled from the Japanese-occupied areas.
After a preliminary understanding of everyone's situation, he arranged everyone's work, and Zhao Gang was relieved from his busy work state.
Now, Zhang Yuanlan finally found an opportunity and specially invited Zhao Gang to the Publicity Section in the name of work, so as to provide guidance on the work.
.......
On this day, on a threshing floor at the foot of Yamawang Mountain.
The regiment stationed at the foot of Yamawang Mountain, the new regiment, the directly affiliated teams of the military region on the mountain, the personnel from various departments, and the farm all gathered here.
Including the nearby villagers who came after hearing the news, there must be at least seven or eight thousand people in Wuyang Wuyang.
Directly in front of the crowd was the platform originally built for the military parade, and a troupe specially invited by Li Daben from Wuyi was performing on the stage.
Fortunately, Zhao Gang had considered in advance that there would be a large number of spectators, so he specially prepared several electric speakers and placed them in front of the stage.
Zhou Weihan and Zhao Gang arrived late and did not get a good seat, so they could only stand on the wall of the threshing floor.
Seeing the thunderous cheers from time to time, Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Old Zhou, it seems that this kind of entertainment activities should be held frequently. You can see that the comrades are in high spirits!"
"Is this, as you said, a disguised solution to the sequelae of the war?"
Zhou Weihan also smiled and nodded: "Yes, life used to be too boring. Nowadays, comrades are also under great pressure. It is better to remove obstacles than to remove them. I noticed this problem when I inspected the New Regiment!
"
While the two were talking, Zhou Weihan suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Old Zhao, look, is that Li Yunshan?" Zhou Weihan pointed.
Zhao Gang stretched his neck and looked in the direction pointed by Zhou Weihan.
“There are too many people and it’s hard to see clearly!”
"Monk, telescope!"
Zhou Weihan took the telescope handed over by the monk: "Hey, it's really Li Yunshan. Why is there a woman next to him? They were talking and laughing. When did we meet? I didn't know...
"
Zhou Weihan suddenly felt a little sore again as he spoke, and he didn't even notice when Zhao Gang snatched the telescope from his hand.
"Hey, now I can see clearly that you are never on the mountain. It's weird that you know about it. I know this lesbian!"
"Her name is Jiang Jiezhen. She is a female teacher at the cadre school. She is responsible for teaching history to students. She is a native of Handan and has a clean family background. She has been married once. She is about the same age as Li Yunshan!" Zhao Gang told Jiang Jiezhen's situation one by one.
"Hey, you are really a friend of women. Do you know whether someone is married or not?" Zhou Weihan said in a strange tone.
"Bullshit, as a political commissar, I am also responsible for the work of the cadre school. Of course I have seen her files. Don't be so weird here. What's the matter, are you looking hot?" Zhao Gang did not show any mercy to Zhou Weihan.
"Hehe!" Zhou Weihan laughed dryly, covering up his embarrassment: "I think it's quite appropriate. If you have a chance, you can introduce another one to Ding Dabaan. He is two years older, and the wedding will be held by then!"
At this moment, the drama being performed on the stage came to an end, and Zhang Yuanlan, as the host, walked onto the stage, wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, showing a heroic appearance that would not be outdone by a woman.
"The next person performing on the stage is a drama about serving the country with loyalty. Please welcome it!" Zhang Yuanlan said crisply.
Zhou Weihan could obviously notice that Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly became gentle when he looked at the stage.
The play is divided into two chapters: upper and lower.
The above article focuses on the July 7th Incident, showing the heroic resistance of the soldiers of the 29th Army and the participation of the patriotic young people in Peking City in the national salvation movement. It was mainly compiled by Zhao Gang and Zhang Yuanlan.
Refugee A: Run, run. If you don’t run, you will definitely die. Those Japanese soldiers are beasts. They kill them all the way without mercy. There are thousands of people in our village, old and young, and all of them are dead except me.
Under the beast's butcher's knife.
Refugee B: Run away quickly. Our troops cannot hold on. If we run out, our lives will be gone.
Wounded Soldier A: The Japanese are so powerful. Aircraft and artillery are taking turns, but before we even see the Japanese, the brothers on the position have suffered heavy losses.
Wounded Soldier B: Yes, we are not afraid of death, but we tried our best to stop the Japs' offensive, and the position was eventually lost.
The screen changes.
Outside Wanping City, Japanese troops pressed in in large numbers and confronted the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army stationed in Wanping City.
Japanese officer: Our unit is holding a military exercise outside the city. A soldier of the imperial army has gone missing. Now the imperial army needs to enter the city to search. You should open the city gate immediately.
Open the door, open the door quickly.
Officer of the 29th Army on the tower: Listen to the Japanese troops below. We have not received instructions from the top and cannot open the door. Your request to enter the city at this time is an unreasonable request and we will never agree to it.
The Japanese officer took out his command knife: If you don't agree, we will enter the city by force.
Officer of the 29th Army: We in China have always been a country of etiquette, but we are by no means mediocre people. If you dare to openly provoke and fire the first shot, we, the officers and men of the 29th Army, will swear to the death to coexist with Wanping.
Narrator: On the evening of July 7, 1937, the Japanese army claimed that a soldier named Shimura Kikujiro was missing during the exercise, and they forcibly entered Wanping City for search, but the 29th Army verbally refused.
At five o'clock in the morning on July 8, the Japanese army launched an artillery bombardment at Marco Polo Bridge, and the July 7th Incident broke out.
.......
Commander Tong Fu of the 29th Army and Commander Zhao of the 132nd Division gave pre-battle training to the soldiers.
Deputy Commander Tong: In this battle, the officers and men of our 29th Army will fight to the bitter end and will not repel the enemy. I, Mr. Tong, am willing to shed my blood to thank the world.
All the soldiers raised their swords and shouted: I would rather die in battle than be a slave to the subjugation of the country.
At this time, the soldiers who had been watching in the audience could no longer suppress their inner anger and shouted in unison: "I would rather die in battle than be a slave to the subjugation of the country."
The screen changes again.
In Peking City, patriotic students and people from all walks of life spontaneously donated money and materials and went to the front line to transport ammunition and supplies to the soldiers of the 29th Army.
The last picture.
Deputy Commander Tong personally led a counterattack against the Japanese army. The soldiers of the 29th Army fought bloody battles and moved forward bravely.
Every soldier raised the sword in his hand and fought the Japanese army to the end, as if he was declaring sovereignty. This is our country's territory, and we will spread blood on every piece of land.
In the end, Deputy Commander Tong and Commander Zhao both died for their country, and the story of the play ends here.
Looking at the scene on the stage, Zhou Weihan smiled first, then his eyes turned red and tears almost flowed out.
Every scene that had just been staged felt so familiar to Zhou Weihan.
When Commander Zhao died, Zhou Weihan was by his side, and at the last moment he was still telling the remaining student soldiers of the Corps: "The 29th Army was defeated, but the Chinese were not defeated. You must survive. No matter when the time comes, never forget
Let’s end today’s hatred of the country and the family!”
