Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 440 Propaganda Offensive Against the National Army

Originally, the drama "Serving the Country with Loyalty" only had the first episode, which was what Zhao Gang and Zhang Yuanlan had discussed before.

It's just that Zhou Weihan was picked on by Zhang Yuanlan, couldn't bear the loneliness, and was unwilling to be compared to Zhao Gang.

So, as a bystander, he put forward targeted suggestions, and then there was a second chapter adapted from some deeds of the national army after the Battle of Songhu and before the Battle of Jinling.

For this reason, Zhou Weihan specially sent someone to call Zhou Weiguo back.

The play begins.

Narrator: The first part of the [-]th Division of the National Army, which was withdrawn from the Songhu Battlefield, was ordered to withdraw to Jinling and passed through Suzhou.

The fathers and folks of Suzhou gathered on the road for the retreat of the troops. The baskets in their hands were full of hot food and clothes sewn by the folks. The Chinese folks

He looked eagerly at his own children who were fighting bloody battles on the front line.

President of the Chamber of Commerce: Brothers in the national army, stand up and raise your heads.

Isn't it just a defeat, isn't it just a retreat? We Chinese people will never forget the blood you shed on the Songhu battlefield.

We only hope that you will not live up to our expectations, and don't forget the duties of a soldier.

A temporary defeat is nothing, as long as you fight the devils well, as long as the whole Chinese people are united, the devils will be driven out of China sooner or later.

These clothes are a little sympathy from the folks. As long as you fight the devils well, we will be satisfied.

The soldiers of the national army, whose morale was low, lifted their spirits and raised their backs one by one when they saw the folks who lined the road to welcome them.

The villagers spontaneously stepped forward to distribute the food and clothes in their hands to the soldiers of the national army present.

At this moment, the battalion commander of the national army who led the team stepped forward upon hearing the sound, his tone full of excitement: "Father!"

The president of the chamber of commerce was taken aback. His son joined the army and had gone to the Songhu battlefield to fight against the Japanese a few days ago. He thought that his son had already died for the country, but unexpectedly, he met again at the door of his house.

Leading Battalion Commander: Dad, my son is not filial. I have a military order and cannot stay by your side. Please forgive me.

I saw the president of the chamber of commerce with a generous and tragic expression, with tears in his eyes: "Son, dad is finally waiting for you!"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce helped up his son who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "My son, I have heard about your heroic deeds on the front line. The soldiers of the national army are all good, and they did not embarrass us Chinese!"

Leading the battalion commander: "Father, my son has always followed his father's teachings, always remembering the hatred of the country and the family!"

The president of the Chamber of Commerce even said with relief: "That's good, that's good, and it's not in vain to teach you for so many years as a father!"

Leading battalion commander: "Father, my boy has a military order. If you want, you can lead your troops to Jinling to receive orders. I can't stay with you. My boy is really bad."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce nodded when he heard the words, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, on which was written in blood: When the Japanese pirates are gone, when my son returns home.

"Father has been waiting for you for so many days, and I have finally waited for you. I have no regrets in handing this over to you!"

"Kids remember the teachings, but the devils are about to enter Suzhou, why don't you take your family and find a place to hide!"

"Son, you must remember that personal gains and losses are insignificant compared to national interests!"

"Let's go, remember, when the pirates are gone, my son will return home."

The president of the chamber of commerce is determined: "Let's go!"

Under the leadership of the battalion commander of the national army, all the soldiers of the national army solemnly paid a military salute.

The area where the Eighth Route Army has been operating has always been in North China. After the expansion of the army, most of the recruits were local ordinary people.

These newly recruited soldiers did not know much about the deeds of the national army on the frontal battlefield. Zhou Weihan felt that it was necessary for the soldiers to know that his brothers who had the same root and blood were fighting side by side in the battlefield against the Japanese invaders.

Among the newly formed recruits, many puppet soldiers were originally from the national army, and the performance of the drama is undoubtedly an affirmation of their previous identities.

This is a propaganda offensive carefully prepared by Zhou Weihan. It can not only motivate the soldiers' combat beliefs internally, but also specifically target the national army.

During the War of Liberation, in the face of our army's propaganda offensive, the national army surrendered in an organized way.

However, the current conditions and timing are not yet ripe.

"Old Zhao, just as we said before, the performance will be performed in Lin County and Changzhi, and sometimes the publicity is in place, which is more powerful than airplanes and cannons!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"The national army in the Changzhi area, except Sun Dianying's New Fifth Army, has never really competed with the Japanese army. The Fortieth Army fought bloody battles with the Japanese Fifth Division in LY. The predecessor of the Forty-sixth Division participated in the Battle of Songhu. Fighting will definitely resonate with them!"

Zhao Gang nodded after hearing this: "I didn't expect you to think of me, we don't ask for anything else, just ask the national army to let go of their prejudices, coexist peacefully in the Changzhi area, unite with the outside world, and jointly fight against the Japanese invaders, that's enough! "

In the next few days, members of the drama troupe and repertory troupe organized by the Propaganda Section first arrived in Lin County.

In Lin County, the anti-Japanese armed forces led by Zhang Hao confronted Yang Han's 280th Regiment of the Central Army from north to south.

However, the two sides are evenly matched in strength, and even Zhang Hao's side has the upper hand in terms of numbers.

In addition, Yang Han is a staunch anti-Japanese faction, so the two sides get along fairly well.

The drama performance caused a huge sensation in Lin County, especially the Guo Huaiwu Department that formed an alliance with Zhang Hao, which evolved from the remnants of the 29th Army.

Guo Huaiwu recalled the scene at that time, and still felt a deep pain in his heart, "Unexpectedly, Zhou Weihan still remembered the 29th Army, Deputy Commander Tong, and Commander Zhao!"

"If Army Commander Song had been more resolute in resisting Japan at that time, maybe Wanping and Beiping would not have fallen. Brother, do you understand that this battle was suffocating? How many brothers in my 29th Army can't close their eyes before they die! "

Guo Huaiwu used to be Song's guard, and knew more secrets by Song's side, but now he was holding Zhang Hao's hand tightly, and his words were full of grief and indignation.

"Brother Guo, the brothers in the 29th Army are all good. Don't you still take your brothers to fight devils now? Let's fight devils together in the future!"

Yang Han, the head of the 280 regiment who was invited to watch the performance, looked at the scene in front of him and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Although Zhang Hao has been proclaiming the Lin County Guerrilla Brigade to the outside world, Yang Han knows in his heart that there is no one other than the Eighth Route Army who can quietly pull up a team of thousands of people in Lin County, but at present the two sides have maintained a tacit understanding Well, Yang Han was also happy to pretend to be confused, he didn't want to pierce this layer of window paper.

"Captain Zhang, this performance is really wonderful. I wonder if my brothers will have the honor to watch this performance!" Yang Han asked.

"Of course, this is for the brothers who fight devils together!"

Zhang Hao and Yang Han looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept silent.

When the performance team arrived at the boundary of Changzhi, the confrontation between the [-]th Army and our army eased.

After the officers and soldiers at the forefront of the two sides "get along day and night" for a period of time, the relationship is actually quite harmonious.

As soon as the performance team arrived, Xu Dali immediately dispatched them to the forefront.

No venue was built, and the performance was in the buffer zone between the two sides. The officers and soldiers of both sides occupied one side and watched the performance together.

After Fan Hanjie in Changzhi City knew the news, the performance team had already performed all the way to Licheng.
