Chapter 1,298 Parade to show off your martial arts
At 3:40 in the afternoon, three special trains from Baoding slowly entered the Peking Daqianmen Railway Station.
The entire west platform is under complete martial law, and the security brigade directly under the theater headquarters has tightly secured the inside and outside of the train station. The theater commander Cheng Qian, wearing a straight general uniform, stood in front of the large welcoming crowd, followed by the theater headquarters and other troops.
, representatives of the division stationed in Peiping, as well as celebrities from all walks of life. In addition, Peking Camp Director Xu Yongchang and Chief of Staff Lin Wei also formed another team with camp officials.
Outside the welcoming crowd, Chinese and foreign reporters who had gone through security checks were densely packed. Outside the cordon of military and police officers who maintained order, they all raised their cameras to snap photos of this historic scene.
The train stopped on the platform, and the door of a luxury carriage in the middle of the first train slowly opened. An Yi and Hu Jialin walked out of the carriage one after another, followed by An Yi's combat team and a general of the Fifth Army.
The drums and drums were blaring on the platform, and a smile appeared on Cheng Qian's face. He straightened his military uniform and took the lead to greet him. Xu Yongchang and Lin Wei looked at each other and walked forward quickly.
An Yi, who was wearing an admiral's military uniform, made a military salute to Cheng Qiang. When he saw Xu Yongchang and Lin Wei behind him, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly went up to greet them and also gave a military salute to them, but secretly screamed that it was ridiculous. Theater Command
The coexistence of the traveling camp and the traveling camp can be regarded as a strange feature at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. Logically speaking, the traveling camp
They all have jurisdiction over the military in the area under their jurisdiction, but the current situation is that the theater headquarters is clearly in charge of all the military in the Hebei-Cha area, while the military camp has been temporarily reduced to an agency in charge of government affairs. It is estimated that this phenomenon of overlapping personnel and overlapping agencies will have to be maintained.
It will take some time for the Military Commission to make adjustments.
Under the spotlight of Chinese and foreign reporters, An Yi shook hands and greeted the generals and generals at the headquarters and camps one by one, showing the demeanor that the deputy chief of staff of the army and the commander of the theater group army should have. Cheng Qian, Xu
After exchanging salutes and greetings with Hu Jialin, Yongchang and Lin Wei also represented the theater headquarters and camp respectively, and met An Yi's combat team and the generals of the Fifth Army Corps cordially. The whole atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.
When all the efforts to save face were done, Cheng Qian took An Yi's hand and said with a smile: "I haven't met General An since I arrived in North China, but General An has brought so many surprises to Songyun.
This resounding victory has given Songyun a lot of glory, the general is indeed the pillar of the country!"
"This is the result of the soldiers working together and the three armies working hard. How can An Yi get any credit? It is our great heroes Hu Jialin, Lu Yixuan, Wan Fulin, Pang Bingxun and other generals. The commander must reward them well. They have paid too much.
Yes!" An Yi said quickly and humbly.
Cheng Qian looked at Hu Jialin, who was surrounded by Xu Yongchang and Lin Wei, and nodded: "The various departments of the First Army have made outstanding contributions, which no one can deny! Especially General Hu, who is worthy of being a tiger general in the Anjia Army.
, Songyun has an elite division like the First Army under the command of Brother An, so why worry about North China not being peaceful if the Japanese invaders are not eliminated?"
An Yi smiled, and then suddenly heard a sharp whistle sound, and saw the officers and soldiers of the gendarmerie and guard regiment accompanying the train finishing their formation, rushing towards the two trains behind, following the tightly closed compartment doors one by one.
opened, red
The unarmed Japanese troops were driven down in embarrassment, and they hurriedly lined up their ranks. Under the guidance of white flags marked with their respective numbers, they were escorted out of the station by officers and soldiers of the military police and security regiments with live ammunition.
Chinese and foreign reporters couldn't help but feel refreshed. They rushed to the exit, raised their cameras and took pictures frantically.
Among all the reporters, Miss Ye, who quietly slipped out of An Yi's car when people weren't paying attention, was the most laid-back. The Fifth Army Corps' headquarters sent a special cameraman to take pictures, and she only had to select some of the more classic ones.
Just take a photo, there is no need to go to great lengths to grab a good position like these reporters who are trying to grab news.
On the way to Peking with An Yi, Ye Qing almost learned about all the previous wars in North China since the war between China and Japan. Even the unprecedentedly brutal Battle of Tianjin yesterday, Ye Qing also got first-hand information. Regarding this news and
Related Editorial She already has a case against her, so
At this time, her state of mind was the most relaxed. The camera in her hand was not pointed at the embarrassed Japanese prisoners, but at An Yi, constantly consuming the film, recording his smiles and smiles, which would be good after returning to southern Sichuan.
Share with Gong Qian, Chu Er, Jieyun and other sisters.
At this time, tens of thousands of Peiping people had already gathered outside the train station.
I heard that Japanese prisoners of war will get off the train at Daqianmen Railway Station today. After exiting the station, they will pass through Zhengyangmen, Zhonghuamen, Chang'an Street, Beichang Street, and finally arrive at the temporary prisoner of war camp set up behind the security headquarters near Deshengmen.
, to demonstrate the majesty of our country, the Republic of China, both at home and abroad.
Wei. Many people came outside the station early in the morning and chose their seats, regardless of their skin being reddened by the sun, waiting for the exciting moment. The rest of the people followed the route selected by the theater headquarters.
They waited eagerly despite the obstruction of the officers and soldiers on duty.
The long-dormant city of Peiping suddenly regained its vitality and vitality with the arrival of Japanese prisoners of war. Excited and joyful Peiping citizens could be seen everywhere, and the original fearful and insensitive mental outlook was completely gone.
"Do you know? These little Japs were all captured by the Anjia Army in Langfang. There are more than 10,000 people. If you add the Japs killed a few times in the past, the Japanese army has lost almost 40,000 to 50,000 people in the past month. Little**
*There are only a few troops in total, more than two million, and we have eaten up a big chunk of them in one go. If we fight a few more battles, will their emperor not obediently raise his hands and surrender?" A well-informed person asked excitedly.
The neighbors around me said.
"That's right, that's right! I heard that because of the continuous defeats, the Japanese army changed their commanders before. Now this guy named Itagaki has suffered continuous defeats after taking over, and he suddenly lost two divisions.
, and several generals who had been awarded the imperial title by the Japanese Emperor also died. It is estimated that his
The commander's position is also very uncertain...Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, when have the Japanese suffered such a big loss? I think it's time for peace talks. By then, we in the Forty-Nine City can enjoy peace again.
And peace!" An old man said, twirling his beard and shaking his head.
With the relocation of universities in the Pingjin area two or three months ago, now only Fu Jen Catholic University is still holding on in the entire city of Beiping. Many families who are unable to leave their hometown but are worried about their next generation have sent their children to it.
train heading south, but now that we suddenly see hope for peace, everyone can’t wait to reunite with their families.
As the Japanese prisoners appeared at the exit of Daqianmen Railway Station, the whole city of Beiping suddenly boiled, with curses, roars, and scorn coming one after another. Later, it seemed that this was not inspiring enough, so "The war will last until the end, and China will win."
The slogans of "Kill out of Shanhaiguan and regain the three eastern provinces" sounded again, and soon spread and resounded throughout the sky.
This earth-shattering shout soon reached the Liuguo Hotel in the embassy district of Dongjiaomin Lane, not far from Daqianmen Railway Station. At this time, envoys from Europe and the United States were gathering in the Western restaurant on the second floor, drinking afternoon tea and discussing the current situation in Beijing and Tianjin.
The situation. Suddenly heard a sound that was made with almost all the strength. Many diplomats were surprised and came to the window to listen carefully.
Hearing various anti-Japanese slogans, Matsui Tairo, the head of the Japanese secret service stationed in Peking, who was standing in front of the window, had an angry look on his face. If he hadn't been sane, he would have roared downstairs and ordered a squadron of Japanese troops to attack.
He went out to the embassy area to vent his anger. Of course, there would only be one result: he and a small group of Japanese soldiers were all "broken into pieces".
"The Japanese prisoners are passing by Zhengyangmen right now..."
"Those prisoners were dejected and had no energy at all, which shows that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is not very good..."
"The prisoners have arrived at the China Gate..."
"Those prisoners are so pitiful. Many of the numbers on the white flag today will probably be cancelled..."
...
The embassy staff of various countries who were sent out to inquire for information continuously transmitted the latest information on Japanese prisoners of war.
Matsui Tataro's expression became worse and worse, he strode back to the dining table, raised half a bottle of sake, and drank it all in one gulp.
The British Ambassador to China, Hugo Sen, apparently observed this scene. With a thought in his heart, he came to sit next to Matsui Tataro: "Mr. Matsui, I feel that your country's current strength is not enough to form an overwhelming advantage over China. At this time,
It is time to end the war with dignity and seek peace."
Matsui Tataro listened to the bursts of cheers coming from the window, with a livid face: "Your Excellency, the war is not just a play, you can stop it whenever you want. Moreover, the current loss of our great empire is only one or two divisions.
, I have no doubt that the *** will eventually win the Sino-Japanese war. Therefore, such suggestions are not constructive."
Xu Gesen's face turned ugly: "What if - what if we, the British Empire, hope to maintain a peaceful environment in the Far East? You also know that in order to strive for peace as soon as possible, we have ordered our Governor of Burma to categorically reject the ongoing conflict with China.
border trade
At the same time, the mainland and the colonies also abide by their commitments and strictly prohibit trade with China. As for the Chinese government, our British Empire is convinced that they will accept our diplomatic mediation at any time, but Japan has been slow to accept our good intentions. This
It’s very difficult to understand.”
Matsui Tataro said coldly: "Your country has your country's considerations, and our great empire also has interests that we cannot give up. Your Excellency, don't look at the Chinese people outside who are happy now. In a few days, you will hear them
I cried bitterly in front of my great *** imperial army."
At this time, the American envoy Johnson came over with a glass of wine: "Gentlemen, on such a beautiful afternoon, why is the conversation between you so explosive?"
Xu Gesen said to Johnson: "Mr. Matsui believes that his invincible Japanese army still has hope of turning defeat into victory and achieving an unprecedented victory in North China. We are arguing for this. Johnson, what do you think of this?"
Johnson shrugged: "I don't know anything. I only know that the Japanese army was defeated again and again. Not only did they lose all their air forces in North China, they also lost tens of thousands of their own troops. Although I don't understand how the war will continue.
How will it develop, but at least for now, the Chinese team is a winner, isn't it?"
Matsui Tairo's eyes widened in anger, he looked at Xu Gesen and Johnson for a while, then he said "hum" and walked away.
Xu Gesen shook his head: "Look at how arrogant and arrogant our Japanese friends are. Johnson, I wonder when your country will take the initiative to stand up and stop the rudeness and rudeness of the Japanese?"
Johnson took a sip of wine: "It's difficult, it's difficult! Isolation is now prevalent in our country. In the *** test two months ago, about two-thirds of the people surveyed believed that participating in the last European War was a mistake.
In July, after the Japanese troops caused trouble at Marco Polo Bridge and launched a war against China, President Roosevelt gave a speech, saying that the Japanese invasion would affect the United States and that if it was not stopped in time, the war would eventually spread to the United States. However, the President's words
In addition to the strong praise from Chinese newspapers and media, the rest of the media also carried out fierce criticism. The Wall Street Journal even directly warned the president: Please stop inciting war! Some congressmen even threatened to impeach the president. Just a few days ago,
The pacifists collected the signatures of twenty-five million people to 'keep America out of the war.' My dear friend, tell me, what can our government do in such a situation?"
Xu Gesen was very surprised: "I can't believe that the situation in your country is so complicated. So, for a long time, your country will not intervene in the war between China and Japan?"
Johnson nodded: "That should be the case. In order to comply with the Communist Party, President Roosevelt has deliberately alienated his relationship with Chinese legislators and officials in public, and at the strong request of the House of Representatives and Senators, he has formulated the basic plan for the next two years.
National policy, emphasizing that the purpose of the United States' intervention in global affairs must be to ensure the stability of the world order and the interests of domestic rejuvenation.
To achieve peace, stability and the expansion of domestic trade. Regarding regional wars abroad, it emphasized that the United States should stay out of conflicts. In February this year, Congress once again extended the time limit of the Neutrality Act, prohibiting the sale of weapons to belligerent countries, and prohibiting U.S. citizens from
Traveling on Japanese and Warring States ships, it is almost impossible for the Chinese government and military to get support from the United States."
Xu Gesen was greatly disappointed: "Our government has always hoped that the United States can play a greater role in international affairs and join hands with our British Empire to deter Germany and Japan and maintain the Versailles system formed after the European war. But now it seems that
It’s very difficult!”
Johnson spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, not intending to continue the topic. In fact, he knew very well that the reason why the United States would adopt a conniving attitude toward terrorism was due to economic and military factors.
In it, even President Roosevelt's speech was just to test the reaction of the American people, and did not really intend to undermine his long-standing isolationist ideas.
Although the outcome of the current Sino-Japanese war has surprised Japan, it is a big plus for the American consortium. After all, Japan is now the third largest foreign trade player in the United States after Europe and Canada.
In the Far East, the United States is the largest customer. The greater the losses suffered by Japan in the war, the more things it needs to supplement, and the major financial groups can make a huge profit from it.
From a certain point of view, the United States at this time is supporting Japan in expanding its war in China.
