Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Bai Chongxi said: "This is not necessary. The special warfare division took the initiative to take up this task. It will benefit us and not cause any harm. Their combat effectiveness and equipment are only higher than that of the Japanese army. Garrisoning Huitong Bridge can Said to be foolproof, and behind them is the Baoshan base, and they would never allow the Japanese army to pass through the Huitong Bridge. The defeat in Burma led to the complete cut off of the Burma Road, and we were unable to receive international aid. This war persisted. It won't be long, so we will definitely have to regroup our forces to counterattack Burma and open up the transportation channel again, and the Huitong Bridge is the only channel for us to go to Burma, and it is better to keep it than to build it when the time comes."

The chairman snorted coldly and said nothing more. Obviously, what Bai Chongxi said was not unreasonable.

Chen Chen on the side said appropriately: "The issue of the Huitong Bridge can be temporarily put aside, but the issue of the expeditionary force needs to be resolved urgently. Please, let me see if Jiang Haoran is called over, maybe he will have a solution? "

The chairman gave Chen Chen a gouged look, and said angrily, "You think he's a god, and he can figure out a solution just by sitting at home?"

Chen Chen suddenly blushed. He knew that the chairman had not considered Jiang Haoran, but he believed that the current expeditionary force could not solve the predicament with one strategy. Even if Jiang Haoran was called, at most he would Just like rescuing the third war zone, it is required to airborne Burma to take full control of the expeditionary force, and then bring the expeditionary force out. At this time, Jiang Haoran is not only an alien in the chairman's mind, but at least a dangerous one. The army was then handed over to Jiang Haoran.

At this moment, a senior staff officer hurried in, and what he brought was still an urgent message from the expeditionary force, still requesting the chairman to decide on the retreat direction of the expeditionary force as soon as possible.

The chairman sighed deeply, and said, "Order, the expeditionary force will return to the country immediately over the Wilderness Mountain."

"Appointment, no!"

"Commissioned seat, think twice?"

Chen Chen and Bai Chongxi spoke almost simultaneously.

The chairman looked at Chen Chen, and Chen Chen immediately said, "Committee, the equipment of the expeditionary force is your painstaking effort. The tanks and heavy artillery that crossed the Barren Mountain can only be discarded. Do you think about it again?"

The chairman waved his hands helplessly and said: "No, no, all of them are blown up, and you can buy them again if you don't have weapons, but the biggest loss is the loss of 10,000+ soldiers?"

Bai Chongxi said: "Commissioner, Yeren Mountain is surrounded by hundreds of miles of uninhabited people, and the troops can't get supplies at all. Moreover, Yeren Mountain means "the place where the devil lives" in Burmese. , river valleys, mountains, dense forests, rampant wolves and beasts, and malaria spread. Once the troops go deep, there is no turning back. I am afraid that 10,000+ people will enter, and very few will come out."

The chairman glared at Bai Chongxi, and roared: "Fart, I don't believe that the soldiers of our expeditionary army can't conquer a mere savage mountain? According to your opinion, the expeditionary army should retreat westward to India? Let me tell you, this is absolutely impossible. Possibly? I absolutely cannot allow the soldiers of our party and country to become vassals of the British and be used as watchdogs by the British?"

The chairman has a special feeling for the army. At the beginning, he was just a little-known character in the Kuomintang, and he couldn't be compared with veterans such as Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin. But since he became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy and took control of Whampoa After the student army, his status has skyrocketed. He understands the theory of "power grows out of the barrel of a gun" not necessarily worse than the one in Yan'an. Therefore, he would rather lose the expeditionary army than lose it to the British. Or Stilwell takes control.In fact, Stilwell had always had this idea, and even the chairman estimated that he had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

After losing his temper, the chairman looked exhausted, and said, "Execute it!" He waved his hands and left the field sadly. The headquarters shook their heads and sighed, and there was only so much they could do.

The news of the fall of Lashio spread to the United States on the same day. The rapidity of the Japanese army shocked the Americans again. The powerful German air force began to ravage the British Isles, and the offensive momentum did not weaken at all.

The Americans began to panic. The Japanese army controlled the entire Southeast Asia, and the life vessels of the Chinese people were also cut off. If the Chinese judged the situation and negotiated with the Japanese, the Japanese army could immediately withdraw millions of troops from the Chinese battlefield and put them into the Pacific battlefield. Under the frenzied attack of the German army, the British could not last long. Once Britain surrendered or was destroyed, the United States would immediately face two attacks from Germany in Europe and Japan in the Pacific. In front of him, he didn't dare to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail.Therefore, the American people are expecting the government to take reasonable measures to solve the current crisis.

When the lights came on and night fell, Times Square in New York had gathered a lot of people, a huge screen was hung high, and people were eagerly waiting for the movie to start.

Early in the morning, a movie poster about "What should Americans do now in the face of fascism?" appeared in the streets and alleys of New York. Therefore, the people of New York came to the square early, and they all wanted to know what they should do now. What, because it is about the future of the country and their future.

The movie started amidst the sound of urging. The first thing that appeared on the screen was the densely packed airplanes in the sky. Below the airplanes was a piece of blue sea. There were countless aircraft carriers and warships moored in the sea. Obviously, there was a military port below. Then, The planes in the sky began to pour bombs on the military port, and the rain of shells immediately turned the military port into a sea of ​​flames.

This is the real image data of the Japanese army's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. At that time, a film company happened to be shooting a movie nearby, which truly recorded the scene at that time.

Although it lasted only 10 minutes, it clearly recorded the indiscriminate bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Air Force in two batches, and the warships instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames under the artillery fire. There are also close-up shots, which can clearly be seen on the deck Many U.S. soldiers fled in panic and jumped into the sea, and many of them even became burning men one by one. The scene was so miserable that it made people cry.The planes on the large aircraft carrier that hadn't had time to take off were destroyed one by one by the raindrops of shells, and the small warships tilted one by one and gradually disappeared on the sea.

After the video data is released, there is a long list of battle damage figures, including how many aircraft carriers, how many battleships, and how many casualties, all of which are shocking.Then the voice-over sounded: "The Japanese fascists have committed heinous crimes against the United States. As citizens of the United States of America, what should you do?"
