All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 362, being interviewed

There are more than [-] people in the Sichuan Army Corps. The cold numbers cannot make people feel intuitively.

Three synthetic battalions participated in the swearing-in ceremony, 84 tanks, [-] infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled mortars, rocket launchers, and heavy truck transport vehicles.

There are a total of more than 400 vehicles of various types, covering the entire open area on the front.

At first glance, it seems that there is no end in sight.

Standing on the viewing platform, Chen Hao looked down with a sense of heroism. This is his regiment.

His torrent of steel, the torrent of steel that makes the enemy fear.

Chen Hao didn't make a speech, he stood in front of the microphone and raised his arms vigorously and shouted: "The Northern Expedition will surely win!"

The soldiers standing on the side of the vehicle seemed to have practiced countless times, and then raised their arms and shouted:

"The Northern Expedition must win, must win!"

The shouts were higher than the waves, and the sound resounded through the sky and the earth, higher than the explosion of shells.

Celebrities and journalists from various countries who were invited to watch the ceremony were shocked by this scene, and many of them changed their expressions drastically.

The timid ones were even more pale, frightened by the power displayed by the soldiers of the Sichuan Army.

"Murderous, mighty teacher!"

Li Xiushi frantically followed the camera with excitement, intending to film this scene and let people across the country see it through newspaper propaganda.

With such a powerful army, Huaxia will be saved.

This scene will surely sweep away the decline and inspire the confidence of the people.

Journalists from various countries took pictures of this scene while being shocked, and many headlines instantly came to mind.

"The Awakened Eastern Lion - Burmese Sichuan Army"

Napoleon of the East and His Iron Torrent

"Japan's Most Powerful Rival in East Asia——Chen Tuanzhang"

The morale of the army is one of them, and Chen Hao's influence as the leader is also vividly displayed in front of everyone.

He is without a doubt the sole leader of this armed force.

"set off!"

Following Chen Hao's order, the vehicle's engine started up again.

One after another, the chariots drove out in an orderly manner, heading north along the Burma Highway.

After a long time, when the last truck drove away, the "Northern Expedition" without any speeches, which looked like a show of force, was over.

Seeing the group leader Chen leaving in a car surrounded by the crowd, Ma Danna was a little dumbfounded. Is this the end?
She hasn't spoken yet!

Of course it wouldn't end here, and someone immediately invited them to a banquet and told them that they could interview Captain Chen there.

The spacious banquet hall has just been established, it is not gorgeous, but it looks very solemn and majestic.

As the host, Chen Hao showed up and spoke a few words with everyone.

With his status at this time, he can do whatever he wants, and others can only accommodate.

Inviting the so-called celebrities is just to take the opportunity to deter them, don't engage in yin and yang violations, collude with the Japanese army, and be honest and obedient citizens.

On the contrary, reporters attach great importance to Chen Hao's interviews. If he engages in such a big scene, if there are not so many reporters to send it out, his influence on the outside world will drop by [-]%.

So after arrangement, he personally came forward to answer the reporter's questions.

"I would like to ask Commander Chen, the Japanese Fifth Division in the north has a total number of more than 3000 people. The army you sent is less than [-] people. Are you confident in defeating the Japanese army?"

A British journalist was given the opportunity to ask questions, and he asked the toughest questions straight away.

In terms of the number of people alone, the difference between the two sides is nearly ten times.

I have heard of a strong military attacking a weak military, but I have never heard of a weak military actively attacking a strong military.

And it was announced to the world with great fanfare, for fear that the enemy would not know.

Contrary to common sense, it seems that the behavior of the Sichuan Army is very strange.

Chen Hao answered him lightly: "You should ask, we have sent three battalions of combat troops, will the Japanese army run away when they get the news?!"

Being able to scare the enemy away is obviously a manifestation of confidence.

The reporters recalled the hundreds of tanks and cannons they saw just now, and they had to admit that this was because Commander Chen was confident rather than arrogant.

Although the number is much smaller, in terms of firepower density, the Japanese army cannot match the two divisions tied together.

It is no longer the time to compare numbers in modern warfare.

As a reporter from China, Li Xiushi felt this the most. Why did a brigade of the Japanese army chase after a division of the Central Army at the beginning of the war?
Because the number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars owned by that division is really not as many as that of a Japanese brigade, the firepower is completely suppressed, and even defense is very difficult.

The German weapon adjusters and assemblers during the Battle of Songhu performed much better.

The firepower of those German armorers was only different from that of the Japanese army at the division and regiment level, and the firepower of light and heavy machine guns and mortars of infantry squads, platoons, and battalions was not much different from that of the Japanese army.

From Li Xiushi's point of view, the number of tanks and firepower density displayed by the three battalions of the Sichuan Army just now,

It is already much stronger than the [-]th Division, the ace armored division of the Central Army.

Judging the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Army cannot be based on the number of people.

This is an unconventional army.

"This Ta Kung Pao reporter, what do you want to ask?" Chen Hao was interviewed by him last time, pointing directly at Li Xiushi.

Li Xiushi stood up, holding a notebook and asking professionally:
"The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army confronts the domestic army across the Nujiang River. Are you doing this to eliminate them and help the domestic army eliminate the threat?"

This question is a bonus question!

Chen Hao thought of a lot in an instant, and to tell the truth in his heart, his Northern Expedition really wasn't for this purpose.

The standoff over the Nujiang River was lifted, so tens of thousands of troops would not be restrained here.

What is the use for the domestic war situation?

Chen Hao's understanding is not very useful, because since the Americans joined the war, the transportation captain has not been so active in the war of resistance.

Always thinking about using the game of anti-Japanese to send those dissidents who disobeyed him to the front line to die.

Finally, when the Japanese fail, he can achieve real unification.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of elite Central Army will not be sent to the front line to counterattack the Japanese army after being revitalized.

Although he didn't think so at first, it didn't prevent Chen Hao from putting on a noble name for himself-the Northern Expedition was to make a contribution to the domestic war of resistance from the side.

Such publicity can win him more favor.

Li Xiushi immediately wrote it down in his notebook: "Teacher Chen, who understands righteousness, although he is abroad, he always thinks about the motherland in his heart.

Thinking of the people of the motherland who fell under the iron heel of the Japanese army, he couldn't sleep at night.

After the Sichuan Army gained strength, it immediately launched the Northern Expedition to actively attack the powerful enemy of the Japanese army who failed them, and only made its own contribution to the motherland's resistance against Japan. "

As a rare bright color among a group of male reporters, Ma Danna soon got the opportunity to ask questions.

The blond and blue-eyed Caucasian beauty asked a technical question in a soft voice:

"Do you think the infantry fighting vehicles of the Sichuan Army are better than the M3 half-track armored vehicles produced in the United States?"

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, he thought about the beauty of the American white girl, with a curvy figure, but her brain is not very bright, it seems that God does not favor her too much.

A World War II half-track armored vehicle, can it be compared with an infantry combat vehicle with technology after 50 years?

Chen Hao knew something about that car. In fact, it was an armored car with a wheeled body at the front and tracks at the rear.

Because of the convenience in transporting personnel and equipment, not only the United States has a large amount of equipment, but Britain and the Soviet Union have used many such armored vehicles.

Throughout World War II, a total of 3 M43000 half-track armored vehicles were produced, which played an unimaginable role on the battlefield of World War II.

Compared with pure trucks, this half-track armored vehicle has better passing performance.

There is a machine gun on the roof, which can provide firepower anytime and anywhere, and it is very useful in the European battlefield.

If it is placed on the East Asian battlefield that lacks heavy artillery, it can be compared with the Japanese Douding tank, showing off its might on some battlefields.

But that's all.

The Type [-] infantry combat vehicle can bombard it with one shot, and a few shots from the [-]mm cannon as its secondary weapon can also make it scrapped on the spot.

If Chen Hao were to locate it, the pickup truck would be equipped with a bazooka.

Yes, only comparable to this.

Chen Hao's criticism of the half-track armored vehicle that Americans are proud of is not worth mentioning, and it's not just the American reporters who look ugly.

The British reporters were also very upset, because they bought a lot of them from the Americans for real money, and they said that the half-track armored vehicles were not good, which meant that their vision was poor.

But they really couldn't refute Chen Hao. Compared with the infantry chariot displayed by the Sichuan Army, the gap is too big.

Randy, Madonna's partner, stood up and asked a question sharply: "In order to win the war, there are many people who choose surprise attacks.

Your army vowed to make great fanfare for the Northern Expedition. The enemy must have made preparations if they knew about it. Even if they win, they will pay a higher price.

What is your army for? "

Randy's purpose is to refute Chen Hao's face and win back some face for the Americans.

But after he finished speaking, he regretted it again, thinking that this man could disarm the British army as a prisoner, and if he was in a hurry, he would not treat him differently just because he was an American.

Chen Hao's face didn't change at all, he finally waited for this question.

He could even imagine that the Japanese commander would have the same question after getting the news.

"You are an American reporter. I would like to ask you what you think of Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor?" Chen Hao asked rhetorically.

Randy immediately dismissed his concerns, feeling the anger welling up in him like so many Americans who heard they were being attacked.

Looking back now, Randy still gets emotional: "They were a bunch of despicable thieves, thieves, robbers."

Chen Hao thought to himself that you Americans will continue to provoke wars in the future, and you will not be much better than the Japanese.

They are all the same breed, and the boss looks down on the second?

After coughing lightly, Chen Hao said seriously, "The Japanese army is used to sneak attacks, this is their rogue nature.

But we... are teachers of justice, teachers of civilization, and we are famous for being a teacher.

And we are not worried that the Japanese army will know, because even if they know, they will not be the opponents of our Sichuan Army, and they will not cause much hindrance. "

Chen Hao has a ghost in his heart, and his words are righteous, but those who are familiar with him will definitely see that it is still false.

The reporters, without knowing it, recorded this.

After the interview, Chen Hao met Li Xiushi privately, and Li Xiushi also showed Chen Hao the words he had recorded in his notebook.

"Sichuan Army is a division of justice and civilization. They are very confident in their own strength. They openly told the Japanese army that I want to fight you and deterred the Japanese army. The effect..."

Li Xiushi didn't know, so it was still blank.

He asked to go to the battlefield with the army to record the Northern Expedition and write down the heroic combat deeds of the soldiers of the Sichuan Army.

Chen Hao had heard of Li Xiushi before. He graduated from the Journalism School of Yenching University, which was the major that Zhao Gang almost studied.

Of course, everyone has their own life, and not everyone joined the war of resistance with enthusiasm.

What prompted Li Xiushi to go to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War was because his girlfriend rushed to Nanjing to pick up his family.

But when they boarded the ship and were about to flee, they encountered the bombing of the Japanese army.

As a result, Li Xiushi's girlfriend was seriously injured after the air strike, and his personal experience did not completely arouse his anger.

So at that moment, Li Xiushi resolutely decided to go to the front line to use his professional knowledge to fight against the Japanese invaders and serve the country.

In order to let more Chinese people know the first news from the front line of the battlefield, and to let more people know the story of the Chinese army fighting against foreign enemies, he worked day and night regardless.

Even if the Japanese bombing happened right where I worked,

He just hid in the cave, and still kept waving his pen and ink to write the heroic stories of this side.

Later, when the expeditionary force counterattacked, Li Xiushi came to the Burmese battlefield to report.

After the Burma campaign, he became an Allied reporter reporting on the Pacific battlefield.

On August [-], the Emperor of Japan had to accept the "Potsdam Proclamation" and issued the "Edict of the End of War" to the Japanese people in the face of national destruction.

Li Xiushi and some British and American journalists risked being killed by the Japanese, and landed in Tokyo, Japan on August 27 on a small motorboat from the Allied fleet.

After World War II, he was the first Chinese to set foot on Japanese soil as a victor.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as a reporter accompanying the Allied forces on the Pacific battlefield and wrote more than 100 field reports.

He was one of several Chinese reporters who witnessed the surrender ceremony of the Japanese army on the "Missouri".

Li Xiushi is a pioneer of Chinese war reporters. Chen Hao originally just wanted to satisfy his curiosity, but he finished reading his description of the Sichuan Army.

This is a talent!

They can now preside over the Sichuan Army's external propaganda.

Chen Hao decided on the spot to invite Li Xiushi to become an external reporter of the Sichuan Army. He is eligible to get more first-hand information and interview opportunities from the Sichuan Army.

Li Xiushi overjoyed and agreed, even though he did an exclusive interview last time, he didn't get such a good opportunity.

He didn't know that his own compliments played a key role.

It's actually routine.

The media is impartial and independent on the surface, but actually living in this land, they are bound to be influenced by those in power.

Li Xiushi worked as a field reporter for the Central Army, mainly reporting the heroic combat cases of the Central Army.

Lost battles, tragic battles, unless they can bring positive meaning, he can write about them, and newspapers dare not report them.

Aren't you afraid that the newspaper office will be blocked?
The compliments to the Sichuan Legion have basically worked.

What's more, the Sichuan Legion is really excellent. Li Xiushi thinks his descriptions are completely reasonable, and there is no exaggeration in the slightest.

Chen Hao likes to hear these words very much. It is purely a kind of enjoyment for intellectuals to flatter.

"Tuan Zuo, the reporters of Time Magazine want to do an exclusive interview with you, and they said they want you to be the cover character."

Meng annoyed and came in to report.

Li Xiushi tactfully resigned, and Chen Hao thought of the silly and sweet female reporter who was a man and a woman just now, and the more professional male reporter.

"Bring them in."

Chen Hao wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in American gourds.
