Just after the New Year, people across the country received a huge gift from the Taihang Mountains. For a time, everyone inside and outside the Great Wall, north and south of the Yangtze River, was happy and excited, running around to tell each other!
All kinds of quick victory theories came out:
"One regiment can wipe out a brigade. The Japanese are not as scary as imagined. If the independent regiment can do it, so can our regiment!";
"The spring of 1939 is coming, and so is the spring of the War of Resistance. With China's more than 2 million regular troops, it is easy to defeat the Japs!"
"The final strength of the strong crossbow cannot penetrate Lu Jian. After occupying most of China, the Japanese have insufficient stamina. The time for counterattack is coming..."
Perhaps after hearing too much bad news about "fall, fall", people's desire for victory has reached the point of hunger and thirst;
In a special period when annihilating three to five hundred Japanese soldiers was a great victory, annihilating 8,000 Japanese soldiers in one battle would still be 4,000 even if it was doubled. This was definitely a super victory!
We need to know what kind of period the winter of 1938 was. It can be said to be the most desperate period in China since the Anti-Japanese War. One and a half years after the war started, we were defeated from North China and East China to Central China and South China;
Yancheng fell, Shencheng fell, Jinling fell, Yangcheng fell, Jiangcheng fell, fell! Fall! ! Fall! ! !
What I heard most every morning when I woke up was that it was either a fall or a defeat. Almost all the big cities were lost, all the good places were taken over by the Japanese, all the capable troops coexisted and perished with the position, and every familiar famous general became a soldier. Martyrs were killed, and hundreds of millions of people were ravaged by the Japanese;
The entire division and regiment of the army that had lost its fighting spirit surrendered, and then turned around and followed the Japanese with advanced weapons purchased with the help of the Chinese people, massacring the Chinese people, and euphemistically calling it "curves to save the country"!
"Niang Xipi, do you still want to be embarrassed?"
"There are such shameless people in this world!"
Even the second-in-command in the government defected to Hanoi, publicly released the infamous "sexual e-mail", and openly surrendered to the enemy...
The number of puppet troops surged to hundreds of thousands, and working as dogs for the Japanese was whitewashed as "saving the country through curves." We were not ashamed of it, but proud of it!
At this time, in the Taihang Mountains, in Liu Town, a town that could not even be found on a larger map, a small independent regiment wiped out a Japanese brigade, and even the major general brigade leader had his head chopped off. This is like seeing a shining light in the endless darkness, giving great hope to countless people who are struggling to move forward in the dark night!
"There is still hope for China, and we can do what the independent group can do!"
"Go to the Taihang Mountains and fight the Japanese!"
"The Eighth Route Army can do it, and our Central Army can do it too!"
"Our Sichuan Army can do it too!"
"Our Hunan Army..."
…
Stimulated by the victory at Liuzhen, the Chinese War of Resistance ushered in a small climax!
The Central Army is counterattacking!
The Sichuan army is counterattacking! !
Hunan Army, Gui Army, Guangdong Army, Shanxi-Sui Army, Northeastern Army...
It was like a shot of chicken blood, and the counterattacks were higher and higher, but they achieved some results.
The Japanese were not to be outdone. Both sides fought hard and special, but both suffered heavy losses. In the end, no one could do anything to the other. After the flush, everyone returned to calm...
After each spent a lot of blood, they finally understood a truth. The status quo of strategic conflict is not easy to break. Liu Zhen's victory is just an example and is difficult to replicate.
Not everyone can become Chu Xiong!
"I'm so good. There are thousands of regimental leaders, but why can't I find one who can compare with Chu Xiong? Go check and see if he graduated from our Huangpu!"
"You still have to follow Chu Xiong to fight the Japanese. I want to go to Liu Town."
A young man dressed as a student said loudly.
"Yes, not everyone can become a hero. I will go to Taihang with you. I heard that Chu Xiong's White Horse and Silver Spear, Zhao Zilong's reincarnation, and he is still unmarried..."
A short-haired female student echoed with a look of infatuation, but the taste was a little different.
"Brother Ziyu, have you heard that the arsenal in Chuxiong hires technical talents with high salaries, one hundred oceans a month?"
"Brother Zicheng, are we people who are interested in a hundred oceans? I defected to Chuxiong to fight the Japanese. The director of the military factory is my senior brother from university. He just received a reward of one thousand oceans from Commander Chu..."
The young man looked excited when he mentioned 1,000 oceans!
On the banks of the Xiangjiang River, dozens of returned overseas Chinese, engineers, and technicians originally wanted to go to Shuzhong, but now they have changed their minds. They want to go to the Taihang Mountains, which is the front line of the fight against the Japanese.
When the underground organizations in Yangcheng learned about it, they quickly organized capable forces to help them go to the Taihang Mountains. The journey was thousands of kilometers away, so they couldn't be harmed by the Japanese. These were all treasures!
Jiangcheng, a group of technicians and engineers from Jiangcheng Military Factory embarked on a journey north, and their destination was Liu Town...
More than a dozen students from Shanghai met to attend Taihang together...
Shuzhong...
Deep in Taihang, Liuzhen, the headquarters of the Independent Regiment
Liu Town, which had been hidden deep in the mountains and unknown to people, suddenly became noisy. More and more people came from all over to admire it. After the smoke cleared, Liu Town gradually returned to prosperity...
The businessmen who had left to escape the war returned to Liuzhen, and the ruined streets began to be rebuilt again. This time, they did not need the Eighth Route Army to organize them. They built houses and shops at their own expense, and the streets were further widened. They now firmly believe that the independence group Ability to protect them;
Then came the powerful and well-informed domestic and foreign reporters stationed in China. They came to Liuzhen and asked to interview the anti-war hero Chu Xiong. They were interested in everything. Some were even curious about whether Chu Xiong really had green faces and fangs, and were ready to interview him. An exclusive interview, this is a typical example of not doing your job properly!
At first, Chu Xiong received them with an attitude of respecting the media reporters, and also introduced them to them seriously about the anti-mopping up campaign in Liu Town. He praised them in every aspect, even the "Niang Xipi" in Shuzhong, and gave them a high hat. A bunch of people, as long as they are leaders, everyone has merit. The man in Shu laughed so hard that his eyes were squeezed into slits:
"Thank you, the Central News Agency can also send people to publicize it, promote Chu Xiong to colonel leader, and write the articles that need to be done. This is all the power of the government!"
Keiko knew as soon as he heard that someone was going to pick peaches again. If he sent an airdrop colonel, he could pick peaches naturally. He was very good at doing this.
As the number of media reporters increased, their concerns became more and more beyond the war. When a beautiful female reporter from Shanghai asked him seriously with her big watery eyes whether he was married and whether he was interested in someone. , Chu Xiong began to choose to escape
"Damn it, there really is no shortage of paparazzi in any era!"
Chu Xiong, who had always been a hero, began to run away. As soon as he heard that a reporter was coming, he immediately rubbed oil on his feet and resorted to the Thirty-six Strategies...
"Captain, you are so hidden, making it easy for me to find you along the way!"
Zhao Pan'er, holding a piece of telegram in hand, protested with dissatisfaction.
"What do you mean by hiding? I am here to help people rebuild their homes, okay?"
After finishing speaking, Chu Xiong, who had a dusty face, took the telegram. After reading it, he wiped his dusty hands with the telegram, rubbed it casually and stuffed it into his pocket.
Suddenly, he discovered that an old acquaintance was following Zhao Paner. He took out the message, folded it, and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Hi, Chu, it's nice to see you again. Congratulations on your promotion to colonel leader. Why did you use your promotion order as a toilet paper?"
"Hi, Aaliyah, long time no see, you are beautiful again! You must have seen it wrong just now!"
After Chu Xiong finished speaking without changing his expression, he turned around and asked Zhao Pan'er again:
"Zhao Pan'er, do you think I wiped my hands with the promotion order?"
