October 10, 1941, Double Tenth Day, the 30th anniversary of the victory of the Revolution of 1911!
At that time, the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance had entered its fourth year.
At 10:10 a.m. on October 10, a strange yet familiar voice suddenly came from the radio:
Meng Shaoyuan!
The Double Ten Festival speech was born.
In his speech, Meng Shaoyuan informed all of Shanghai and all of China about the victory of the Second Battle of Changsha.
At the same time, he exposed the ugliness of the Japanese army in the tone of anti-war allies such as Yuma Nakahama and Kaku Kobayashi.
In his speech, Meng Shaoyuan made no secret of the fact that Japanese military police had entered the concession in large numbers in an attempt to control the jurisdiction of the public concession.
He called on all Chinese in Shanghai to fight to the end and swear not to be slaves to the country's subjugation!
He called on all people or organizations with a sense of justice in the world to support China's war of resistance and fight for human justice!
"Japan can occupy Shanghai, but Japan can never conquer Shanghai! Shanghai will always be China's Shanghai! Thousands of people bleed for it, and millions of people will fight for freedom and independence!"
In his speech, Meng Shaoyuan gave the strongest roar as a Chinese:
"If the spirit does not die, the country will not die! If freedom does not die, the nation will not die!"
This is the strongest cry!
This is a frontal declaration of war against the Japanese!
When Shanghai's public concessions were bleak and countless Chinese began to worry about their future, this man stepped forward again!
In his own unique way, he told all Chinese people:
We are still fighting!
As soon as the Double Ten Festival speech came out, the whole world was shocked.
The furious Japanese convened an emergency meeting and began to formally study the plan to capture and kill Meng Shaoyuan.
Although Shanghai's Japanese special agencies have always aimed at this, this time it was different. The plan to arrest and kill Meng Shaoyuan was officially discussed jointly by the military, secret service agencies, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In China, public sentiment is upbeat.
Even though Shanghai has been occupied for four years, we are still fighting!
In Shanghai, there is another man named Meng Shaoyuan, who leads thousands of Meng Shaoyuan to kill the enemy and never give in!
Those Chinese who had been worried, especially businessmen in Shanghai, were immediately reassured.
Meng Shaoyuan is still in Shanghai, he has not left!
As long as he is still in Shanghai, it is a reassurance for all conscientious Chinese people!
Chongqing.
When the Double Ten Festival speech came, Dai Li, who was reviewing documents, was so shocked that he dropped the pen in his hand.
Mao Renfeng has never seen Director Dai like this.
"Meng Shaoyuan, prepare to fight to the death!"
Dai Li murmured: "The situation in Shanghai is far worse than we imagined. Meng Shaoyuan has already prepared for the worst! He chose to give a speech at this time, firstly, to appease the people, and secondly, he has already It shows your attitude."
"Mr. Dai," Mao Renfeng said, "Meng Shaoyuan played a great role in our military command. He has to manage not only Shanghai, but the comprehensive anti-war work of the military command in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The Ministry of Staff recommended that he be transferred immediately Evacuate Shanghai."
"Do you think I don't want to?" Dai Li took out a document: "Read it for yourself."
This is an order ordering Meng Shaoyuan to evacuate Shanghai, and order him to move to Jiangsu and other places to continue commanding the battle. If necessary, he can retreat to Chongqing.
"I have been hesitating whether to send it or not." Dai Li said in a daze: "If his speech had been delayed two days, this order might have been conveyed to him. But now, I know what he is going to do. "
"The staff is stupid, please ask Mr. Dai to clear up the confusion."
"Shanghai will fall completely sooner or later." Dai Li regained his composure: "Meng Shaoyuan is the soul of Shanghai and the pillar of tens of millions of military personnel. Over the years, he has built himself into the belief of our military personnel.
Anyone can leave, but he cannot leave. In particular, once the public concession is fully controlled by the Japanese army, it is extremely important to quickly stabilize the morale of the military in the early stage, which is related to our future work.
When he stays in Shanghai, he needs to assess the situation and make adjustments, and he needs to quickly settle down the Shanghai area and resume normal operations. These are all his responsibilities! "
"That means that he can evacuate only after doing this." Mao Renfeng understood: "But it is too dangerous for him to stay in Shanghai, too dangerous."
"After the complete fall of Shanghai, he will stay in Shanghai for at least three months." Dai Li pondered there: "How to spend these three months is what he needs to consider most."
Mao Renfeng hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Dai, with Meng Shaoyuan's ability, it shouldn't be difficult."
"Isn't it difficult? You think it's not difficult?" Dai Li sneered: "The island has fallen, people's hearts are shaken, and those revolutionaries who seemed determined before will betray. Maybe the fatal bullet is not from the front, but from behind. !”
"Mr. Dai, can we help him?"
"Help him? In Shanghai, if Meng Shaoyuan can't do something, who can help him?" Dai Li pondered for a moment: "The most important thing now is to relieve his worries. Mao Renfeng, go to Meng's house in person , his family has a large population, give them five new special passes, do not write names on them.
At the same time, I will give them ten catties of rice, oil, and meat each, and a box of wine in my personal name. Tell them that I will be a guest in half a year. "
"I understand, the staff department will handle it immediately."
As soon as Mao Renfeng left, Dai Li stood up and walked back and forth in the office several times.
Little bastard!
Come back alive and well.
You did so many things in Shanghai behind my back. I wouldn’t be angry if I didn’t shoot you several times myself!
Come back alive, little bastard!
…
"Half a year? Mr. Dai also has information. The concession is likely to fall within two or three months."
Meng Shaoyuan lit the telegram he had just received from home and watched the fire gradually burn up the telegram:
"Mr. Dai means that once the concession falls, I need to continue to hold on for about three months."
At this point, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Dai understands me, and this is the same as my estimate. Mr. Dai sent special passes and daily necessities to my home. This is clearly telling me, Don’t worry at home, he will help me arrange it.”
"Japan has jointly formulated a kill order against you."
Wu Jingyi said: "Three months? Can you persist? By then Shanghai will not be the Shanghai you are familiar with!"
"What the hell can the Japanese do to me?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly cursed: "Do they really think they can capture me if they occupy the whole of Shanghai? I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid..."
He sighed softly: "I'm afraid that the person I trust most will betray me one day. What makes me irritated is that I don't know who will betray me."
He said this from the bottom of his heart.
When the environment changes, some people's hearts will also change with the change of the environment!
