"Hello, listeners, this is Chahar Radio Station. I am your old friend Yang Siyu. It is time for news broadcast again. Our Seventh War Zone completely annihilated the second Japanese Kwantung Army at 12 noon yesterday.
Fifteenth, the Thirty-sixth Division killed Lieutenant General Muranaka Kajiro, the commander of the Thirty-sixth Division, in Tongliao City. Now the troops of the Seventh Theater are marching towards Liaoyuan."
Chahar’s radio waves spread the results of the war to the whole country
At this time, the Japanese army, which had received reinforcements and regained its strength on the Songhu battlefield, was very arrogant and was in a disadvantageous situation. Although it purchased some advanced aircraft from Chahar, the number was too small and could not withstand a large scale.
Attrition, and the Nanjing government had too many places to defend, and the strength of the Japanese aircraft carriers increased instead of falling after being supplemented by aircraft, so the war in Shanghai gradually retreated. 700,000 [] were steadily in Shanghai.
They retreated and lost nearly 200,000 people and were forced to retreat steadily. The Shanghai dispatched troops were also pressing forward step by step.
In this atmosphere, the battle report from the Seventh Theater was like a stimulant, arousing great repercussions among people across the country.
"Hey, have you heard that the Seventh War Zone annihilated two Japanese divisions in the Northeast, with more than 30,000 people?" I woke up early in the morning, and the streets and alleys of Shanghai were crazy about the news of the "Japanese War".
News from the Seventh War Zone.
In Peiping, which was not long after the liberation, students organized a massive parade to celebrate the series of victories achieved in the Seventh War Zone. Slogans of "Fight the Northeast and liberate the three northeastern provinces" kept coming.
Tianjin, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing and other major cities also held celebrations. With the propaganda of Chahar Radio, the Huben Division, the 5th Infantry Division, the 10th Infantry Division and other units that contributed to this battle gradually became known to people.
At this time, in the official residence of the Nanjing leader, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress was discussing the Songhu Battle with a group of senior officials from the National Government. Due to the unfavorable situation of the battle, the atmosphere in the conference room was very dull at this time. Everyone was silent and lowered their heads.
Holding the teacups in front of them, everyone seemed to be concentrating on studying the tea ceremony.
The Chairman sat on the front seat and pondered for a long time with a sullen face, then turned his attention to He Yingqin, "Jingzhi, is Shanghai really undefendable?"
He Yingqin smiled bitterly and said: "Chairman, this is the humble opinion of Bei Shi and others. Naturally, I want you to make the final decision. However, Bei Shi and others believe that in the decisive battle with the Japanese in Shanghai, all the sea and air advantages will fall into the hands of the Japanese.
, the huge force of our army has become the best target, and it is really not a good place. Especially the opponent's large-caliber naval gun. Once the gun falls, our entire company and battalion will disappear."
"Mother Xipi, Rantanqin, then why did the 102nd Division fight so well in Shanghai some time ago, but when it was our turn, we fought so badly? This is obviously because of your incompetence." The Chairman's temper was particularly bad today. Just yesterday, he
Met with the German Ambassador to China Taudmann and his wife. During the meeting, Ambassador Taudmann bluntly pointed out that if the performance of the Nationalist Army was still so bad, it would be difficult for him to mediate between China and Japan.
Get the benefits you deserve for the national government.
He Yingqin and the others looked at each other and laughed bitterly. How could the Kuomintang Army be compared with the 102nd Division? When they were fighting, they said: "Commander Matsui, don't worry, wait until we annihilate the Nanjing Army in Shanghai."
Troops and the Nanjing government will have little capital. By then, even if they want to surrender, they will have no choice. The Fifth Division is willing to be the vanguard and share the worries of His Majesty the Emperor."
When everyone took a look, it turned out to be Lieutenant General Ban Hengzhengshiro, commander of the Fifth Division, who had just been transferred to Shanghai from Manchuria.
Ban Hengzhengshiro's face was glowing, and he had a smooth, extremely short crew cut. His thick "eight-character" beard was black and long, and he looked like a seal. His stupidity and dullness made him look like those in Japan.
The jokes made by aristocratic gentlemen after dinner.
But in fact, Itaheng Seishiro was an extremely shrewd man. After being transferred from Manchuria to the Songhu battlefield, his fifth division was deliberately or unintentionally influenced by several division commanders headed by the commander of the sixth division, Hisao Tani.
He was so marginalized that all he did was thankless and had very little credit. This time when he heard about such a good thing as chasing the enemy, he took the opportunity to stand up.
