Chapter 352 I have been waiting for this day
It's late.
When they arrived at the Grand Marshal's Mansion, Zhou Xiaoshan discovered that they were the latest ones among everyone Liu Xiang notified to the phone.
Even Li Jiayu did not return to Xichang. When he heard about the news at the Nanjing conference, he rushed over from the Xu Mansion.
The Sichuan generals gathered in Liu Xiang's residence, listening to the news broadcast on the radio.
Seeing Feng Tiankui, Luo Jialie, Zhou Xiaoshan and others coming in, Liu Xiang walked over and turned off the radio.
His heavy face showed that he was worried.
"Dear generals, the country and nation have been in danger until now. Last time in Yongzhou, I, on behalf of the Sichuan Army, sent a telegram to the whole country and called for a general mobilization of the whole country, and sweared to fight to the death with the Japanese invaders!"
"We have been waiting for this day for support to the commander-in-chief to fight against Japan!"
"See the commander-in-chief to the death and leave Sichuan to fight against the war!"
The angry Sichuan generals raised their fists, echoed Rao Guohua's roar, and shouted that they had been waiting for this day to fight against Japan to the end.
Liu Xiang raised his hands and the scene became quiet.
"In the past, our Sichuan army always fought a civil war and had a disgrace. Now, defending our country is a good opportunity to cleanse us. A few days ago, I had drafted a letter to the military and civilians of Sichuan, calling on all the military and civilians of Sichuan to contribute and sacrifice to the War of Resistance. Although the war is still far from Sichuan now, we will never be at peace in the rear!"
"When I was holding a meeting in Nanjing, I had already proposed at the meeting that Sichuan could send 300,000 troops to provide 5 million strong men, grain produced in Sichuan, as well as weapons and ammunition from the bullet factory, machinery repair office, and Hechuan Artillery Factory, at the same price as the finished product, and let the central government allocate it!"
The soldiers of the Sichuan Army applauded and applauded repeatedly at Liu Xiang's mansion. Feng Ping looked at Zheng Chong and lowered her head.
But in my ear I heard Zhou Xiaoshan applauding and roaring in a low voice.
It’s vain to blow so much wind in my ears.
At the moment when the country and the nation are in danger, the Grand Marshal is still the Grand Marshal.
"I want to ask now which general is willing to go out of Sichuan to fight against the war. Please raise your hands."
Deng Xihou, Guo Xunqi, Pan Wenhua, Tang Shizun, Wang Zhangxu, Li Jiayu, Sun Zhen, Yang Sen, Fan Shaozeng, Guo Rudong, Feng Tiankui, Luo Jialie military advisor and even above generals.
Almost everyone raised their hands.
This move shows a tragic and unprecedented Sichuan Army.
You should know that in this era, most of the people in Sichuan lived in the countryside, working from sunrise to rest from sunset, renting a small amount of pitiful land and striving for a bite, which was ignorant of the country and the nation.
The warlords gathered together today may have bad habits of one kind or another, and they will fight each other in order to survive and preserve their strength.
Each has his own ulterior motives and is a mess, and there is no question of unity at all.
Even Liu Xiang's orders were slandered against the Chongqing camp.
However, when the country and nation have a catastrophe, it is a group of warlords who have the right to speak in Sichuan, who have the power of snatching poles and territories.
Standing up for the country and nation, using their flesh and blood to roar the greatest voice of the War of Resistance in Sichuan.
They went to give up their territory, resettle refugees from the river, and evacuate them to the National Government to manage them. They took the guardian team who started to occupy the territory, and went to the direction of the brutal Japanese invaders, and went to the national crisis together.
This is not the arms raised one by one, but the determination to martyrize the country one by one.
Zhou Xiaoshan, who originally wanted to pull Feng Tiankui's raised hand down to make a prank, was wrapped in a strong sense of national pride.
I am proud of being a Sichuanese.
At this moment, he was very grateful and proud that he could not form an army in all rivers, and the Sichuan Army was the backbone of the Chinese nation.
I am honored to be one of them.
Liu Xiang has been inspecting for a long time and is very satisfied, pleased and moved.
henduo This is an army composed of warlords of all sizes. When the nation survives and dies, it makes such a choice.
"Okay, okay, okay, great! Thank you, thank you, on behalf of the people of Kawakata, thank you!"
Commander-in-Chief Liu raised his hand with tears in his eyes and saluted everyone present.
Silence is better than sound. Responding to Commander-in-Chief Liu was the military salute of all the generals present in the Sichuan Army.
I am proud of being the Sichuan Army. Liu Xiang’s mansion is an old-school Sichuan house, and the gray tones are so inconspicuous.
At this moment, a sacred and proud atmosphere was in the small living room.
Not to mention the Japanese, I am afraid that Mr. Jiang from Nanjing never thought that the Sichuan Army was so patriotic and so loyal to the nation.
In his previous life, Zhou Xiaoshan was building a Sichuan Museum. When he saw the historical documents of the Sichuan Army leaving Sichuan, he felt it was difficult to understand the patriotic enthusiasm of Sichuan warlords and the bloody oath of the War of Resistance against Japan when the War of Resistance against Japan broke out.
The safest place for a warlord is his territory.
Whether it is bigger or self-protection, you have to rely on operating the territory.
Most of the warlords left their territory and felt no sense of security at all.
The terrain is unfamiliar, there is no supply of food, and firearms and soldiers are lost.
As soon as the War of Resistance broke out, so many Sichuan generals and small warlords were incited by Liu Xiang, and howled, took the army that looked at their families, left their hometowns, and embarked on the road to the War of Resistance from Sichuan.
Thousands of miles of road to the War of Resistance, the Sichuan Army did not have cars or pack horses. In addition to carrying heavy bedding, mats, daily necessities, food along the way, they also carried old guns, cannons and grenades. As winter approached, they measured the road of no return with their feet wearing straw sandals step by step.
"In Nanjing, I argued that in the great war of destiny between China and Japan, one more army will give you more strength on the battlefield. In the past year, the army that has worked hard to improve its military literacy should be expanded, but after the report is launched, the government has not fully approved it!"
"Yang Sen, your troops will be reorganized into the 27th Army. The first batch of troops will be released from Sichuan immediately and the troops will be gathered to set off in the shortest time."
Damn, Zhou Xiaoshan's eyes were green. Yang Sen had only three divisions in total, one group of troops. Chiang Kai-shek was too casual. The Sixty-sixth Division had more troops than Yang Sen, so he also had one group of troops!
"Guo Rudong, I originally wanted to win you the position of commander of the group army. People think that you have too low qualifications. I have sent you a telegram in Nanjing. Xue Yue, Chen Cheng doesn't want Feng Tiankui, you want you and Yang Sen, your 43rd Army, and you will set off immediately!"
"Have you two paid the military pay?"
—————
"Zhou Junyan sent someone to send it!"
"Okay, I have received your ordnance watch. Remember, take all the ordnances out, how much will it be destroyed, when the War of Resistance Against Japan is over and when you return to your hometown, Chongqing Armory Repair Institute will give you more than how much will it be. Xiaoshan prepares explosives and grenades for your four divisions at the wharf, and bring them together to set off!"
Guo Rudong, Yang Sen, the officer in his army, a solemn and neat military salute, respected Liu Xiang, and turned to face other Sichuan generals.
"Thank you, the general. You have already explained that the government may have logistical chaos, and there will be problems with guns and ammunition supply on the battlefield. We will never hide our weapons privately!"
"Carewell, handsome man!"
"General Yang Sen, General Guo Rudong, Sichuan Army honor and disgrace, the country's survival, and the nation's national succession, please."
The military situation was urgent, and the National Government decided to start a battle in East China. Yang Sen and Guo Rudong were about to represent the Sichuan Army and were the first to appear on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. The tiger general walked straight and took his subordinates with his subordinates. After the ceremony, he walked out of Liu Xiang's mansion with his arms raised again.
Seeing the two left, Liu Xiang sighed and sat down, and greeted the other generals to sit down.
"Shi Zun, Tiankui, Wenhua, I will also win the position of commander of the group army for you. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Military Affairs was too stingy and gave Tang Shizun the position of deputy commander of the group army. Wenhua was promoted to the commander of the Corps, Guo Xunqi's model division, and expanded into the 50th Army. Xia Douyin will send him to Chongqing to conduct a point inspection!"
"I'm still the commander of the Sixty-sixth Division?"
"Yes!"
Chapter completed!
