The Republic of Heroes

After Wu Xiaoliang rejected Zhao Chengming's request, the head of the special regiment sternly accused Zheng Yuxi of being criminally responsible for robbing the arsenal and ambushing the National Revolutionary Army.

"I am a worker's representative, destroying the Kuomintang reactionaries, eradicating exploitation..."

Zheng Yuxi is a donkey. Seeing such a field, there is no good fruit to eat in the hands of the Kuomintang. Thinking of the martyrs described by Mr. Zhao in the past, they regard death as home and are determined, so they also go all out, shouting slogans and waiting for the hero sacrifice.

However, he did not expect that his act of righteousness and fearlessness brought Zhao Chengming a lot of trouble and troubles. It is said that a good man does not suffer from immediate losses. Zhao Chengming has already been loosened and is thinking about how to get this Lengtouqing was also rescued, but who knew he would make such a fuss, did he think his life was long?Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaoliang didn't give him a chance to speak any more. He took out a piece of paper on provincial government letterhead from the briefcase handed over by the adjutant, unscrewed the fountain pen, swiped a few times, and wrote a note. The printing box was opened and his own seal was stamped on it.

"With this note, you can go to the small station warehouse in the south of the Jiaoji Railway outside Xiaobeimen to pick up the supplies. I can do so much. I hope you can strictly restrain these workers. The Japanese invaders are about to It’s a massive attack, use a good knife wisely, save the ammunition to fight devils, don’t waste it on your own people!”

This piece of paper is not much bigger than a palm, but in Zhao Chengming's hands, it feels heavier. With these things, you can have your own gun barrel. Of course, the first priority of having your own gun barrel is to fight against Japanese invaders. Kou Jimeng even Wu Xiaoliang and other generals in the army have to back away, how long can these half-baked workers' pickets last?Unconsciously, he glanced at Zheng Yuxi beside him who looked at death like home, and his heart suddenly burned with a raging fire of hope.The anti-Japanese enthusiasm of the people is very high. As long as the people's hearts are in the right direction, the battle will sooner or later belong to the Chinese, to the...

"Comrade Zheng Yuxi hopes that you will be calm and don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Cooperate with the Shandong Nationalist Government's investigation, and the organization will rescue you as soon as possible!"

Zhao Chengming looked at Zheng Yuxi with determination and reproach in his eyes, and Zheng Yuxi's tearful eyes immediately understood Mr. Zhao's intentions, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I, I will not embarrass you!"

Zheng Yuxi saw with his own eyes what Mr. Zhao got from the great warlord surnamed Wu. From Mr. Zhao's serious and uncontrollable excited expression, he seemed to understand that the weight of this piece of paper must be extremely heavy.If he continues to challenge the reactionaries, it may ruin the great affairs of the husband. If he can sacrifice himself in exchange for the final victory of the workers, he will never turn back and die without regret!Two idioms that Mr. Zhao had taught unexpectedly popped up again in his mind. Through the haze in front of his eyes, he blocked the reluctance and resignation that filled his fiery eyes!

The roar of the car engine gradually approached from a distance, and the sound of running cowhide shoes followed. It was the reinforcements from the 57th Division. In a matter of minutes, the workers' pickets entrenched behind the fortifications were completely surrounded, and they were ordered to surrender their guns.

The leader of the team asked Wu Xiaoliang whether to wipe them all out. Wu Xiaoliang ordered them to stand by, then turned his head and said to Zhao Chengming: "I won't embarrass your people, but I have a request. I hope you can control the process immediately. The smashing behavior of the workers and students in the city, calm down the chaos in the city as soon as possible, we can't make Little Japan laugh, can we?"

Hearing that Wu Xiaoliang, who had already completely gained the upper hand, let them go so easily, Zhao Chengming, although he was fearless on the surface, felt a lot of cold sweat in his heart, and naturally agreed to Wu Xiaoliang's request.

"Maintaining order and attacking Japan is Zhao's duty!"

……

The "chance encounter" with Zhao Chengming actually made the chaos in Jinan calm down within a day, the threat of the train station was lifted, and the retreat of all parties proceeded in an orderly manner.

Wu Xiaoliang convened a meeting of military and political officials in Jinan that night. There was only one topic. Power up the whole country, advocate national reconciliation, unite with the outside world, and fight against the Japanese invaders!

The civil servants of the provincial government, represented by He Siyuan, naturally agreed with both hands and feet. Japan launched an all-out war. After the Yellow River was completely frozen, the battle of crossing the river was launched. At this critical moment, it is by no means possible to fight against it by relying on one province and one place.

"Well, Chairman Wu's suggestion is deeply in line with the current situation in China and conforms to the will of the people. It will definitely receive wide support from all walks of life across the country. I suggest that Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other places jointly send a telegram to put pressure on the Nanjing Nationalist Government and Chiang Kai-shek. , use the power of the whole country to fight against the Japanese aggressors”

He Siyuan talked eloquently, and at the same time made an addendum to Wu Xiaoliang's proposed electrification strategy, which received enthusiastic responses from the provincial government committee members present.However, in terms of specific implementation details, Li Zejun, commander of the Jinan garrison and the complex Yellow River defense line, raised his concerns.

"Everyone, the overall situation in Shandong and Henan is a big retreat. All walks of life in business and academia are going west. The speed of construction and development in Shandong in the past few years is like taking an airplane. If you stay here, you will definitely be smashed by the Japanese. It's a pity. We don’t have any discounts on the buzzing planes, so I personally agree with the overall strategy of the big retreat. However, I have reservations about whether the army should retreat.”

Li Zejun has recently been somewhat dissatisfied with Li Zejun's decision to withdraw his army to the west, especially when he sent Yang Xiaoou's Second Army to Henan a few days ago. As a result, almost all of the main defensive tasks along the Yellow River in Jinan, Shandong are under pressure. The 57th Division, and the Japanese army is several times stronger than our own, how can we fight this battle?Is it really necessary to retreat to the west of Tongguan to preserve strength without firing a single shot?Didn't he become that prodigal Zhang Hanqing?

Li Zejun has always been Wu Xiaoliang's staunch confidant, and this is the first time he has publicly questioned Wu Xiaoliang like this. Not only the military officers present are dumbfounded, but even the civil servants of the provincial government are also surprised. What is going on? Once out?

Looking at Wu Xiaoliang again, he glanced at everyone in the venue as if nothing happened, and asked unhurriedly: "Anyone who has any opinions, please bring them up. Everyone speaks up enthusiastically, don't worry..."
