After the Zionist Organization of America got involved, because it provided a large amount of sponsorship, it once requested that the Jewish Independence Army be named after the Zionist Army. This name is evocative and fully reflects the desire of the Jewish people to restore their country. , However, when Old Bonn mentioned this matter to Ouyang Yun, he rejected him flatly.
I don’t know what the Americans thought about helping the Jews to restore their country in the Middle East. Those capital oligarchs’ original thoughts were probably for the oil in the Middle East. However, Ouyang Yun refused to relax his control over the Jewish Independence Army, but he hoped that the Jews could Close to China, it is best to have self-government on a piece of land between China and Japan, so as to guard the wolf in the east for China.
Because the Jewish Chamber of Commerce is just an organization and does not yet have the concept of a country, many Jewish young people become soldiers because they have no way out (it is true that Jews are good at doing business, but this is also relative. In fact, too many people become soldiers) After the Jews poured into Guangdong, the way of doing business became crowded, which is why Stern recruited so many qualified soldiers), that is, just to survive, for this invasion and war between China and Japan The Jews were not enthusiastic about the anti-aggression war. Even though the Jews said they wanted to be fully integrated into China, in fact, when China really needed them to share the joys and sorrows, how many Jews would come forward? It was worth it. doubtful,
Ouyang Yun didn't care about this, but Stern resolutely implemented the instructions of the Chamber of Commerce and the Rich World Organization. Sooner or later, the Jews would establish their own country, so it was necessary to have a reliable army. Now, troops were sent to Zhejiang in the name of the Xuebing Army. Nan, it is a rare opportunity to exercise.
As of now, there is no sign of World War II. Although the Germans are making a lot of noise in Europe, and although some politicians realize that Germany's existence will become a trouble for the world, no one believes that they have just emerged from the shadow of the defeat in World War I. The Germans still have the capital to provoke a new world war. Japan, in the eyes of Westerners, cannot afford to make a big splash. Think about it, Japan’s success today is actually due to the West. At that time, it was Did the Meiji Restoration happen after Spain's powerful ships and cannons opened the door to Japan? Japan is just a clown. Although it is messing up East Asia now, it is impossible to threaten the interests of Western countries.
Precisely because World War II has not yet emerged, the Jews feel that if they want to regain their country, they still have to stay close to China. No, it should be close to the Xuebingjun and Ouyang Yun. The Xuebingjun is not very popular with the upper class in China. , even the object of extreme hatred by some gentry, but in the United States and Western countries, the Xuebing Army is a legend.
Not to mention penicillin, most countries can already manufacture it themselves. However, televisions, off-road vehicles, and some more advanced electronic products have given Xue Bingjun a very high-profile image in the eyes of some politicians. In their minds, many of them are scrambling to maintain a good relationship with Xuebingjun.
If Ouyang Yun intends to develop a business empire, and if the existence of the Xuebing Army is not necessary, then the whole world will probably enjoy the excellent products of the "Xuebing Brand" by now.
Xuebingjun has a good reputation in the United States. Gu Lianyun has successfully built a large international business group, and Xuebingjun’s cooperation with major American companies such as Ford, RCA, and United Airlines has also made the Jewish Richland Organization feel
The energy it contains,
These made the Jews finally decide to side with China and fight the Japanese.
The exact time is May 31. On this day, the advance troops of the Jewish Independence Army, led by a major general named Ou Shuliang, marched to the front line of southern Zhejiang with high spirits. Ou Shuliang's Jewish name is Qiao Lang, and his Chinese name is Qiao Lang.
Therefore, the word "OU" is used to express the nostalgia for one's hometown.
"The Jews are here to help us fight the Japanese." This news quickly spread throughout Guangdong under the propaganda of the military, political and industrial departments. Therefore, on the day the advance troops of the Jewish Independence Army set off, tens of thousands of people in Guangzhou spontaneously participated in the farewell ceremony.
,
Guangzhou people's feelings towards the Jews were once complicated. People who are not from our race must have different feelings. This ancient concept influenced people's feelings. Therefore, no matter how the Xuebingjun conducted positive propaganda, Guangzhou people still had a negative attitude towards the Jews.
There is prejudice, but now, this prejudice is obvious
Weakened obviously. These Westerners, who are obviously not of their own kind, are actually offering money to help us fight the Japanese. This is not just a superficial talk about becoming Chinese, but actual action.
Money is so hard-working, how could the kind-hearted Chinese not show any signs of it?
According to the statistics of good people, after this day, not counting other places, in Guangzhou alone, at least 26 families agreed to the marriage of their children to Jews, and several families held weddings on the next day.
On the day when the Jewish Independence Army marched out of Guangzhou, a crisis was quietly approaching in Jiujiang.
The history here is surprisingly similar. Although the location has changed, Madang has been replaced by Jiujiang, the fate of Li Yunheng and the 16th Army has not been changed. The problem still lies with Li Yunheng, who is very happy with his achievements and likes to make some formalities.
General, when the enemy was approaching, he actually launched a so-called
"Anti-Japanese Military and Political University", this so-called university, only has a semester of two weeks, so, what could not be more of a coincidence happened, just when a group of personnel from the 16th Army responded to the call of the military commander and devoted all their efforts to prepare for the so-called "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University"
During the "Graduation Ceremony", the Japanese launched a long-planned and fierce offensive.
The Japanese 106th Division was responsible for attacking Jiujiang. The division commander was Lieutenant General Nakajima Qingmura who graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. Nakajima Qingcun had a nickname in school called "Nagashima Fox".
What they are good at is seizing some subtle opportunities on the battlefield and using strategies to expand them. A few days ago, the 106th Division conducted a tentative attack on the Jiujiang defenders and launched a massive offensive against Guanzhou and Xingang.
,
The Japanese continued to use troops against the upper reaches of Jiujiang, and each time was on a large scale. This led Li Yunheng to make a wrong judgment. He believed that the main direction of the Japanese army's attack was Guanzhou and Xingang, so in order to ensure that the graduation ceremony went smoothly, he would not be harassed by the frontline war.
arrived, the 1st Reserve Division was specially transferred to Xingang to strengthen defense.
The 16th Army originally only had three divisions under its jurisdiction. Among them, Li Yunheng's direct unit, the 53rd Division of the Hunan Army, defended the front of Jiujiang, and the 3rd Division was prepared to defend Xingang and Guanzhou. With Li Yunheng's mobilization, the defense forces of Guanzhou and Xingang were greatly reduced.
enough
However, Jiujiang's defense force immediately became weak. If the Japanese army bypassed the Gantang Lake position in front of Jiujiang and landed somewhere on the river and went straight to Jiujiang, then Li Yunheng would only have a guard regiment directly under the army.
Available,
In fact, this is what Nakajima Qingcun had in mind.
By the way, at around eight o'clock in the morning that day, the graduation ceremony of the "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University" was held as scheduled at Jiujiang Middle School. Needless to say, Li Yunheng and other senior officers of the 16th Army, starting from Li Yunheng, including the three division commanders, all wore brand-new uniforms. The military uniform was as red as a bridegroom's. The division commander only attended the ceremony. What is incomprehensible is that there were several regiment leaders below. Of course, from Li Yunheng's perspective, these regiment leaders came to participate in this grand event. It's not a big deal. These regiments are all second- and third-line troops. Even if the little devil launches an offensive during the ceremony, it's still too late to attend the ceremony and then rush back.
Since the Battle of Nanjing, Japanese spies have begun to frequently operate in cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. It is precisely because of the timely communication of these spies that Zhongdao Qingcun has mastered first-hand intelligence and made false appearances according to Li Yunheng's way of thinking and behavior.
The person who presided over the ceremony was Chen Yangqiao, deputy chief of staff of the 16th Army. Chen Yangqiao first introduced the military commander’s good intentions in establishing the "Anti-Japanese Military and Political University", and then thanked the local government for its strong cooperation. After that, Chen Yangqiao invited Li Yunheng made a speech: "Now, I would like to invite the president of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, General Li Yunheng, who is also the commander of our 16th Army, to speak. Everyone is welcome." After speaking, he took the lead in applauding.
Immediately, there was a wave of applause in the auditorium. Li Yunheng stood up reservedly amidst the wave of applause. First, he waved his hands around, looking very elegant. Then, he was about to walk towards the rostrum, when suddenly there was a violent sound. The explosion sounded, causing him to stagger in shock. The guard standing not far from him immediately reacted and pounced on him like a hungry tiger.
The explosion was too close to here, so many people mistakenly thought that the explosion occurred at the ceremony site. It is no wonder that those loyal guards took action to protect the military commander to the death.
"What's going on?" "Where's the explosion?"...
The auditorium was immediately in chaos, and the student seats below were even more chaotic. Many officials and ladies were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their legs were trembling. They thought the Japanese were here.
Li Yunheng's expression also changed, and the reserve he had been trying so hard to maintain was gone. He pushed away the guards and got up from the ground. Without enough time to brush off the dust on his body, he asked the men on the side: "Hurry up and check, what's going on? thing."
Several subordinates hurriedly ran out, but the answer was revealed after they had only run a few meters away.
Gunshots like exploding beans came from the east gate of Jiujiang, and at the same time, a dozen small black dots appeared in the distance in the sky.
"It's the Japanese. The Japanese are coming."
"Run quickly, the Japanese are coming."
Many people's despairing shouts came from Jiujiang City. Not far away, about a platoon of soldiers from the security regiment directly under the 16th Army rushed over panting. Among them, Guo Xishan, the leader of the security regiment running at the front, shouted: "Hurry and report to the military. The Japanese have captured the east gate of Jiujiang. Please evacuate immediately."
Immediately, the hearts of the well-dressed people attending the ceremony sank to the depths of the water.
