Those affected are not only compatriots in the rear area, but also overseas Chinese.
Due to power limitations, the coverage area of Dameishan Broadcasting Station only covers a radius of about 500 kilometers in central and eastern China. Outside this range, broadcast signals cannot be received. However, this is not a problem, because shortly after Xu Ruibiao’s broadcast speech, Western countries Radio stations have broadcast it one after another.
With the help of Western high-power radio stations, Xu Rui's radio speeches quickly spread to every corner of the world.
On the second day after Xu Ruibiao's broadcast speech, various Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong published the full text of Xu Rui's speech on their front pages with the title "Blood-stained Style", and added the commentator's article at the bottom of the text. We call on all Chinese and overseas Chinese to unite closely, contribute money and effort, and fight against the national crisis together.
Overseas Chinese in Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and other places also took notice.
Following the July 7th Marco Polo Bridge Incident, groups supporting the Anti-Japanese War once again appeared throughout Southeast Asia.
In peaceful times, overseas Chinese may feel alienated from the motherland for one reason or another. However, once the motherland is in trouble, once the Chinese nation really reaches a critical moment of life and death, once Chinese civilization is in danger of extinction, overseas Chinese The overseas Chinese will immediately unite to support the motherland.
Under the call to fight against the national crisis together, overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia went to various donation points one after another and donated all the savings they had saved through frugality.
Some business owners even sold their properties without hesitation, and then directly purchased fighter jets to donate to the motherland. Such patriotic overseas Chinese sentiments cannot be matched by the likes of Li Jiacheng in later generations, because they gave everything they had when the motherland needed it most. , instead of racking their brains to belittle the motherland and trying to make money by berating the motherland.
In addition to donating money and materials, some young overseas Chinese resolutely chose to return to China and join thousands of young students in the country to directly devote themselves to the great cause of the motherland's Anti-Japanese War.
However, these are long-term effects and will not affect the situation in Wancheng in the short term.
Even if the Nationalist Government has agreed to form the Young Students' Death Corps, it will not be able to form an army without ten days and a half. Moreover, after the Young Students' Death Corps is formed into an army, it is impossible for you to go directly to the battlefield. , basic military skills training must be carried out before going to the battlefield.
When the training is completed, it will be two or three months at least.
By that time, the battle to defend Feicheng had already been fought, and the officers and soldiers of the Central Anhui Advance Brigade and the Dameishan Independent Regiment might have been lying in the cold for a long time.
The reason why Xu Rui braved the disapproval of the world and made this radio speech was just to get some assistance, such as weapons, ammunition and medicines. If possible, it would be best to get some reinforcements. Chairman Chiang must know the situation. Don't think that After adding more than 3,000 new recruits to the Anhui Central Advance Brigade, everything will be fine. You have to send troops that can fight, otherwise Feicheng will really be undefendable.
But to be honest, Xu Rui himself doesn't really have high hopes for this.
Because in fact, after the Battle of Songhu, the 59 most elite quasi-German weapon divisions of the National Army had been basically wiped out. Most of the subsequent troops were local warlord troops or improvised miscellaneous troops, and even if they were improvised The miscellaneous army was also stretched thin in terms of troop dispatch, and all war zones reached out to the headquarters for personnel.
Under such circumstances, the National Army Headquarters could not dispatch reinforcements at all.
To be honest, the National Army High Command could mobilize two regiments of supplementary troops to the Wanzhong Advance Brigade before the war. This was beyond Xu Rui's expectations, so Xu Rui never dared to expect the National Army High Command to return the troops. More reinforcements will be brought over, but the most important thing is to get some weapons, ammunition and medicine, and try our best to reduce the casualties of the independent regiment.
These officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, whether they are veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles or new recruits who have just received the baptism of war, are all treasures. If they can survive this cruel battle, the role they can play in the future will be far greater. Live as a veteran, because every veteran is a living military textbook.
As long as there is one veteran, it won't take long for countless veterans to appear.
Therefore, Xu Rui must do his best to save them, especially not to let them die from minor injuries such as burns.
What Xu Rui didn't expect was that his radio speech not only brought in weapons, ammunition and medicine, but also brought in a reinforcement force that was completely beyond his expectation, and it was also a very powerful reinforcement force!
The story has to start with Sun Changhe, Gu Shutong's guard captain. Sun Changhe was greatly shocked after listening to the battlefield voice program of Dameishan Radio Station for the first time, and then took the initiative to ask Gu Shutong to go to Wancheng to participate in the battle. , although Gu Shutong was reluctant, he still agreed to his request and sent his own bodyguard to accompany him.
Although Gu Shutong's guard only has one platoon of less than a hundred people, it is well-equipped. In addition to eight national-made long-handled grenades, there is also a flower trap in each hand, and there are six magazines in the armed belt tied to the chest. , four on the chest, one on each side, and one on the machine gun. Each person has seven magazines.
Sun Changhe led Gu Shutong's guard to cross the Yangtze River from Chikou, and after a day and night of rapid march, they arrived at Feixi. Seeing that Feicheng was already in sight, a small episode occurred.
To be honest, it is impossible for such a well-equipped small force to enter Feixi without arousing the covetousness of those green forest heroes in Feixi. Previously, He Shuya led a platoon of the independent regiment to escort David When passing through Feixi, they were all robbed by bandits from Mopanzhai.
Sun Changhe's guard was much better equipped than He Shuya's platoon. How could it not attract the attention of those green forest heroes in Feixi? With the fighting power of Sun Changhe's guard, ordinary bandits really don't dare to attack, but Feixi Eighteen Village is not an ordinary bandit den, there are some daring and ruthless characters.
The ones eyeing Sun Changhe's guards were Qipanshan and Qipan Village, the most powerful among the Eighteen Villages in Feixi.
At this moment, Shi Xiaoqian, the third boss of Qipan Village, disguised himself as a hunter in the mountains and followed closely, observing the movements of Sun Changhe's guards from a distance.
It was about an hour before dark, and Xu Rui had not delivered his radio speech yet.
Sun Changhe considered that Feicheng was not far ahead. If they wanted to enter the city, they would inevitably have a fierce battle with the Japs, so he wanted to rest in Feixi for one night to recuperate his physical strength and energy, and then go to Feixi tomorrow. Before dawn, they launched a surprise attack on the Japanese in the west of the city, breaking through the siege and entering the city in one fell swoop.
After making the decision, Sun Changhe immediately ordered to camp on the spot and boil water to make food.
Sun Changhe did not expect that the cooking squad leader sent to fetch water would be targeted by Shi Xiaoqian.
Shi Xiaoqian only used the simplest move of throwing stones to ask for directions. It took less than three seconds to distract the attention of the cooking squad leader. Taking advantage of this less than three seconds, Shi Xiaoqian added a large amount of Mongolian sweat medicine into the bucket. , the cooking squad leader was so ignorant that he went back with water and boiled it for everyone to drink. A reinforced platoon of more than 70 well-equipped veterans was knocked down by the bandits.
When Sun Changhe and the officers and soldiers of the guard woke up again, they had already arrived at Qipan Village and became prisoners of the bandits.
Sun Changhe was the first to wake up from his drowsiness. When he opened his eyes, he saw a fierce-looking man sitting in front of him. The man also had a flower trap in his hand and was playing with it.
Opposite the big man, there was another man playing with the radio that Sun Changhe had brought over.
Sun Changhe's expression changed at that moment. When he was about to turn over and sit up, he found that his limbs were tied and he couldn't get up at all. After scanning around, he found that the entire guard he had brought with him, including more than seventy brothers, had been tied up in various ways. They were all lying on the ground, and all their weapons and equipment were confiscated.
"Who are you?" Sun Changhe calmed down and asked in a deep voice.
A wretched man with a thin build and a tuft of hair on his left cheek walked up to Sun Changhe, blinked and said, "Boss, don't you recognize me now?"
"Is it you?" Sun Changhe said solemnly, "You are not a hunter in the mountains!"
The wretched man chuckled and said: "Grandpa does not change his surname in office, nor does he change his name in business. The third head of Qipan Village in Qipan Mountain is Shi Xiaoqian. By the way, Shi Qian, the hero of Liangshan, is my ancestor."
"Qipan Mountain, Qipan Village?" Sun Changhe snorted and said, "Are you bandits?"
At this time, the sturdy man who had been silent while playing with the flower trap said, "Your name is Sun Changhe, right?"
"How do you know?" Sun Changhe's expression suddenly condensed when he heard this. He would not be so naive as to think that his "prestige" had reached the bandits' den in Feixi. If there was no inside story here, he would never believe it. Yes, could it be that these bandits in Feixi have defected to the Japanese and colluded with Little Japan
"How new is this?" Shi Xiaoqian threw a military officer's ID card on Sun Changhe and said, "Your name is written on it."
Sun Changhe took a long breath and realized that he had gone wrong. He immediately said: "Since you know who I am, you must also know what I am doing in Feicheng, so I advise you to release him as soon as possible. As long as you now Release him immediately, and I can pretend that nothing happened, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Shi Xiaoqian said narrowly, "Can you still destroy our Qipan village?"
Sun Changhe said in a deep voice: "I have heard about your Qipanzhai, and I also know that you have defeated the Feicheng security group several times in the past. But if you think that our National Army is the same as the security group, then you It's a big mistake, I say it one last time, it's still too late to let him go."
Shi Xiaoqianran said: "You are really better than the Feicheng security team. I can't see it. Otherwise, why are you all lying here like rotten fish and shrimps?" (To be continued.)
