The interception by the Xuebing Army Air Force was quite effective. More than fifty Japanese planes attacked, but only one broke through the defense line built by the Xuebing Army's Iron Wings and flew close to the parade site. This was already quite difficult.
In such a highly anticipated event, bloodshed actually occurred and it was a large-scale bloodshed. Originally, it was enough to destroy Ouyang Yun's hard work in organizing the military parade and even cause large-scale panic. Thanks to Mei Lanshu's quick wit, she used a The on-site commentator stepped forward and turned a crisis into an opportunity with his eloquence.
The people of Guangzhou have experienced severe tests in dealing with crises. The last time the Japanese army launched a large-scale air raid on Guangzhou in retaliation for the bombing of two aircraft carriers, in fact, the scars caused by the last air raid have not yet left Guangzhou. It disappears on the skin. In the southeast of the city, there are several places that are still under intense renovation.
Mei Lanshu's impassioned speech took advantage of the situation and turned the panic in people's hearts into anger against the Japanese army. It is said that when an ordinary man is angry, blood will be splashed three feet. There are probably not more than 100,000 "common men" in China around the Democracy Square. When the anger of so many people gathers together, the huge energy burst out can destroy the world.
Mei Lanshu continued to guide me, and I don’t know who shouted out the first voice: Down with the Japanese invaders, down with Japanese imperialism. Immediately, the above slogans exploded like thunder in the square, and then, I don’t know who thought about it. The Xuebing Army is so good. If they had not protected Guangdong and Minqiong, they would have become slaves like the people of the three northeastern provinces. "Well done to the Xuebing Army, long live the Xuebing Army." The first person shouted such a slogan, and then, such exciting slogans exploded like thunder, making Ouyang Yun and all the students couldn't help but feel excited. At this moment, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, as long as the square is If people are in need, I believe they will jump bravely.
Today’s Army Day activity process, although the military parade is the biggest attraction and the most anticipated program, it is not the most important thing for the military. Compared with the following ceremony of awarding medals and commemorating the fallen soldiers, the military parade is actually just Just an appetizer,
Ouyang Yun explained the significance of this arrangement: "The military parade is to show our strength to the people and let them have confidence in us, and the memorial ceremony is to pay tribute to those soldiers who gave their lives for the future of the Xuebing Army." An explanation, they gave their precious lives for our tomorrow, we have to bear the responsibility of their other identities, this is only natural."
It has become the tradition of the student army to mourn the fallen soldiers and posthumously honor some of the fallen soldiers. Just over two hundred meters past Democracy Square on the Street of Heroes and Martyrs, there is a Hall of Heroes and Martyrs, which is dedicated to the students. The memorial tablets of all the martyrs who have sacrificed their lives since the founding of the Bingjun Army not only provide a place for the people to commemorate their relatives, but are also responsible for the support of the descendants of the martyrs and their relatives.
The construction of the Hall of Heroes and Martyrs was started after the last air raid and was just completed three days ago. The most magnificent building of the Hall of Heroes and Martyrs is the "Monument of Heroes and Martyrs" on the square in front of the gate. The base of the "Monument of Heroes and Martyrs" is nine meters long, wide and high. , which means that ninety-nine return to one, and the monument standing in the center of the base is 23.001 meters high, which is exactly the number of officers and soldiers who died in the Xuebing Army until the foundation stone of the Martyrs Monument was laid, a total of 23,001.
To the southeast, the air battle has come to an end. The Xuebing Army fighter planes have a firm advantage in performance and quantity, so when the Japanese sneak attack turns into a breakthrough, there is no suspense in this air battle. From time to time, there is a meteor. A similar light flashed across the sky, it was another fighter plane crashing,
Various slogans rang out one after another in the square. Amidst the slogans, Ouyang Yun stood solemnly, adjusted his breath, and suddenly shouted like an explosion: "Now, I declare that the ceremony to commemorate the cadets who died in various battles has officially begun. , I suggest that in memory of our heroic martyrs, everyone observe three minutes of silence."
He spoke very slowly so that everyone nearby could hear and understand. After saying this, he took off his military cap, lowered his head and paid silent tribute.
His so-called suggestions are actually only for the people. In the ears of the trainees, this is an order. All the troops participating in the military parade, except for the "Akagi Sinking" heroic brigade that has already participated in the battle, all the soldiers are under the leadership of their respective commanders. He neatly took off his hat and lowered his head, including the officers and soldiers of the Jewish Independence Army who had just lined up.
The soldiers' strange behavior attracted the attention of the people. Some people had already followed suit, while others also stood quietly, bowed their heads in mourning during Mei Lanshu's explanation.
Three minutes later, Ouyang Yun announced loudly: "The silence is over." He put on his hat and then said: "Four years ago, when our student army was just a student regiment, on this day, we won a battle. , At that time, our weapons were not advanced enough, and our soldiers, as students who had just stepped out of school, were still immature, so the victory was very miserable. Dozens of young soldiers sacrificed their young lives.
"On that day, I decided to commemorate them at this time every year, toast them a glass of water and wine, and show them our work achievements so that they can feel at ease under the nine springs, even though they have fallen asleep. , but I want our descendants to remember their names forever and how much sacrifice they have made for this country...
"The Chinese people are invincible. Why? Because we do not lack outstanding warriors, and we do not lack warriors who sacrifice their lives to protect our country. The reason why the Xuebing Army is strong is not because we have advanced weapons, nor is it because we have , but because our soldiers, the soldiers of our Xuebing Army, even if they are not the best at fighting in the world, are the ones who are most willing to sacrifice their lives for ideals and national justice...
"The Japanese thought that air strikes could damage our morale. They wanted to create bloody terror today to destroy our will to resist. But now, I want to solemnly say to those Japanese militarists who are bent on destroying China: The Chinese may We were once cowardly, maybe we were once backward, but now, we Chinese people have awakened. We will no longer live indifferently. We will fight for the ideal better tomorrow, even if we sacrifice our heads and blood...
"Returning from the soul, the martyrs of the Xuebing Army, even if you are under the nine springs, open your eyes and take a look. Today, the Xuebing Army is strong enough, and tomorrow, we will definitely drive out the Japanese invaders and restore the Japanese invaders." China and Kyushu have a bright future."
After Ouyang Yun said this, he immediately announced the official start of the memorial ceremony. Immediately, solemn mourning music sounded. Ouyang Yun took the lead, followed by a group of senior officials from the Xuebing Army. Four Wolf Fang special forces carried a huge wreath and the group headed towards Walk to the Hall of Heroes and Martyrs next to Democracy Square,
The solemn and grand memorial ceremony brought tears to the eyes of many people who had relatives whose names were engraved on the base of the monument. At this moment, they felt that their relatives were not far away from them. They must be watching silently somewhere. All this, this is certain,
Just when everyone in Guangzhou was paying tribute to the heroes of the army, Xiao Yi looked at Liu Bingguo who fell ill in a reed bush by the Taixing River in Jiangsu Province, frowning.
Starting from this morning, Liu Bingguo developed a low fever, and then he suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and fell unconscious. In order to better rescue Liu Bingguo, Xiao Yi had to give up his plan to bring the prisoner back to Guangzhou and could only deal with it on the spot.
"Head, what should I do? It seems that Bingguo will have a hard time surviving until tonight. We have to find a doctor on the spot to take a look at him." Zhang Dan said while twisting the towel that had just been applied to Liu Bingguo's forehead,
The prisoner was tortured by Xiao Yi and others to confess some questions, which confirmed Xiao Yi's previous suspicion. It was indeed a newly built bacterial weapons base by the Japanese. However, the prisoner knew very little about the details due to his rank, so No information of practical significance was given.
If Xiao Yi knew that the plague preparation had just been successfully developed in that base, he probably would not have tried to send Liu Bingguo back to Guangzhou.
"I'll go find a doctor nearby. You take him towards Qixu Ferry. If I can't find you before dark, then Zhang Dan will be the captain."
"yes."
Two hours later, Xiao Yi found Zhang Dan and his party with an old man carrying a medicine box. At this time, to everyone's surprise, Liu Bingguo's condition actually eased and his fever actually subsided. Yi and others did not know that this was the plague germ that had entered the incubation period. They thought that Liu Bingguo had defeated the germ by relying on his excellent physical fitness. They were all very happy. As for the old doctor, after he checked Liu Bingguo's pulse, although he noticed What, but he had never been exposed to diseases like the plague, so he just prescribed two kinds of anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory medicine and left immediately.
Thinking that Liu Bingguo was completely healed, Xiao Yi didn't take it to heart anymore. After discussing with everyone, he decided to use the radio to contact the local Hu Tong first, and then contact his hometown through them to see if there were any new tasks. ,
It is not easy for the people of the Langya team to come out. They all hope to get more military merits and go back. In that case, as long as the military merits are enough, they can go to the front-line troops to serve as military officers. Once the people of the Langya team enter the front-line troops, at least He is also a company commander, and with a company of troops, with their methods, they can definitely do great things.
What they carry is a low-power telegraph. The signal distance of this small battery-driven transmitter is relatively small, so they must rely on local foxes to get in touch with the headquarters.
After the Nanjing Battle, the Hutong Foreign Affairs Ministry re-established grassroots groups in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It has now been very effective. Xiao Yi and the others quickly contacted the nearest Hutong group through a coded shortwave, and then they were given a new task. , went to Shanghai to cooperate with the Fox Tong team to implement the "Pawn Shop Plan",
