In the end, the poor old man of the collective farm succumbed to the threat of banknotes and bullets, and obediently organized all the women in the farm to prepare dinner for these "invaders" from afar.
Dinner was very simple, each person had a portion of mashed potatoes, a little minced meat and some pickled cabbage soup that smelled bad, but the soldiers didn't care about the taste of the food because they all knew that if they missed it tonight, they would have to have another meal like today.
I don’t know how long I will have to wait for such a steaming meal.
Wang Yilong stood in front of a wall in the public cafeteria, with a frame hanging behind him. In the frame were photos of Stalin and Umyanov solemnly reflected. In front of him, a soldier was holding a Carl camera produced by the Northwest Company.
Take a picture of him.
"Click" a flash light flashed, and this picture was preserved.
At this time, an officer carrying 23 cents on his shoulders came over and said: "Okay, you guys, stop playing around. After dinner, go outside and dig trenches and foxholes. The division commander ordered,
It must be dug before dawn tomorrow."
"Commander, are you mistaken? How come we are digging trenches? Today our battalion is conducting the main attack. If we have to dig trenches, we should let the third battalion do it. No matter what, we have to give us a rest." Wang Yilong felt a little aggrieved.
stand up.
The colonel became a little angry and reprimanded: "What nonsense, if your company doesn't want to dig trenches, you can just go and carry a stretcher for me. The health team behind is very manpower intensive. If you don't dig the soil, I can go to the health team to help."
"Okay, let's go, why don't we go?" Wang Yilong jumped up quickly. It was not a good thing to help the health team. Even the soldiers who were used to seeing death felt worried when facing their comrades struggling on the line of death.
It's not a good feeling. Everyone regards going to the health team to help out as a chore.
"Okay, get lost." The colonel waved his hand impatiently and was about to send Wang Yilong out.
At this time, a correspondent ran in holding a radio and reported loudly: "Sir, the president is going to give a speech in Congress, and the commander ordered us all to listen to the president's speech."
"What, the president is going to speak. Let the brothers come in and listen to the radio. Let the brothers cheer up."
At this time, whether it is the common people in China watching TV at home or the farmers who have just returned home after a day of farm work, or the tea guests having evening tea in the teahouse, or the soldiers of the National Defense Force, all those who have the conditions are welcome.
Gathered under the radio to listen to the president's speech.
At seven o'clock in the evening on July 3, 1941, the Nanjing Congress Building was brightly lit, and the 500 seats were packed. Hundreds of reporters, political officials, and members of Congress were all sitting in their seats. Today, Su Tong, President of the Republic of China,
It is necessary to deliver an important speech to the whole country and submit a bill. This speech and bill will determine the future direction and destiny of China.
"Compatriots of the Republic of China, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese National Defense Force who are fighting bloody battles, and distinguished members of parliament, since the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, countless people with lofty ideals in our country have sacrificed their lives and blood for the unification of the country and the pursuit of truth. They have
Some gave their lives, and some lost their limbs. Their purpose was very simple, that is, to allow justice, justice, and the song of freedom to float over our motherland. Some people say that we succeeded, and we finally
We drove away the invaders entrenched in our land, and our flag flew freely on the land of our motherland.
But dear compatriots, distinguished members of parliament, have we really succeeded? Have we repaid the humiliation we suffered? People who say otherwise are just deceiving themselves and others. The scene of burning the Old Summer Palace 80 years ago is still there.
Floating before my eyes, the innocent souls of tens of thousands of people in Lushun are still crying in the night sky. Our treasure island of Taiwan is still being ravaged in the hands of the Japanese invaders, and the ancestors of our Chinese nation are still watching us in the sky. And the cruel Soviet Russia
The empire still shoots and kills our border residents on our borders. Where will the justice, freedom and justice we long for come from? Now that the Soviet Empire has threatened us with war, what should we do?
Will Lanpao and Vladivostok be returned to those invaders again? Here I want to say that we will never give up the land left to us by our ancestors even if we fight to the last person, otherwise we will be the eternal sinners of the Chinese nation. As a popular election
The President of the Republic of China and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the National Armed Forces have emerged. In accordance with the authorization of the national constitution, I have ordered five million soldiers of the Chinese National Defense Force to stand ready at the border. My compatriots, let us join hands and use our guns to tell the story.
Those invaders, if you want to fight, I will fight. We, the Republic of China, will officially start war on the Soviet Empire from now on. Long live the Chinese nation and long live freedom."
"Start the war, start the war"
"Long live the Chinese nation"
"Long live the President"
At this time, there was thunderous applause in the Nanjing Capitol Building. Hundreds of congressmen collectively stood up and applauded enthusiastically. Each of the congressmen was so excited that many of them were dancing and shouting.
Vice-President Jiang and Vice-President Gu were sitting in the seats below the chairman, smiling and applauding softly.
Both of them felt a trace of bitterness in their hearts at the same time. This Su Tong actually tied the entire country to his chariot and went crazy with him.
Looking at the enthusiastic expressions of the normally well-dressed congressmen around them, both of them knew in their hearts that what made those congressmen decide to support Su Tong in launching the war was not the justice and freedom that Su Tong mentioned just now, but only interests that attracted them.
Now everyone knows that Soviet Russia has been beaten to the last breath by Germany. Su Tong is now taking them to take advantage of the situation. It would be a fool if they disagree. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as China occupies Siberia, then China will
It is the country with the largest territory in the world. This is the result of the expansion of territory. Who is not jealous of the military generals? Even the domestic consortiums are also eyeing the land and minerals in Siberia and Europe. If the country can really occupy
How much wealth will those places bring them? I'm afraid this is why everyone supports the man on stage to start the war.
Su Tong's speech spread across the world on radio waves. At this moment, whether it was Europe, America, or even Asia, the whole world was shocked by the Chinese government's declaration of war against Soviet Russia. They understood that another country was involved.
during the war against the Soviet Union.
"Asshole, this damn imperialist evil leader, he should go to hell. Get out of here too, get out." The door of the office opened, and a translator ran out of the office crawling.
In an office in the Kremlin, Stalin, who had heard the broadcast at the same time, smashed the radio on the table to pieces.
At this time, it was eight o'clock in the morning in Moscow, and Stalin heard the news that China had declared war on Soviet Russia, which made him furious. This Su Tong had already occupied hundreds of thousands of square meters east of Lake Baikal.
Kilometers of territory, now we have to raking it out and saying that Soviet Russia is engaging in aggression, trying to break the old score of the Soviet Russians' invasion of China 80 years ago. But it was the Tsar who invaded your Peiping 80 years ago, and it has nothing to do with our Soviet Russia. At that time, the Soviet Union
The Russian Socialist Party has not yet been established, and even our leader Umyanov is still in his mother's womb. If you can, go and settle accounts with the Romanov family. Damn it, if you want to engage in aggression, you will engage in aggression, and you even found a
Such a lame excuse is as shameless as that mustached Hitler.
Roosevelt, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, fell silent after receiving the news that China had officially declared war on Soviet Russia. What he was most worried about finally came to pass.
"Hurry up and order the logistics department to increase military assistance to Soviet Russia, otherwise Stalin will not be able to survive for long without outside help." After receiving the news that the Chinese government officially declared war on the Soviet Union, although China had already been mentally prepared for China's participation in the war, at that time
When the news officially came, Roosevelt still sighed. Faced with the joint efforts of Germany and China, and the attack of 10 million troops, could Soviet Russia withstand it?
Outside an inconspicuous house in Nizhny Uginsk, one wire after another extends from here like a spider web. The antenna of the radio station is placed on a tall tree and stretches into the sky. In the dark night, the northwest wind blows slowly.
Shaking these crystallizations of modernization, combat orders one after another were transmitted in invisible and intangible notes with the sound of "ticking". A tense atmosphere before the war enveloped this hidden Soviet commander.
department.
In a spacious room in this headquarters, the commander of the Southeastern Front, General Vasilevsky, was issuing combat orders to a dozen generals in the headquarters.
"Comrade Mamonov, when will all your 23rd Army arrive at Irkutsk?"
"Comrade Commander, now we have only more than half of our supplies and personnel. As long as you give us another 48 hours, we can reach Irkutsk." Lieutenant General Mamonov replied.
Kosevsky shook his head, "No, I can only give you twenty-four hours. You must arrive at Irkutsk by this time tomorrow and hold it firmly for at least three months."
Can it be done?”
"Commander, you must give me enough priority for trains and railways, otherwise I cannot guarantee that our army will arrive on time." Lieutenant General Mamonov thought that there were still more than 70,000 soldiers and numerous supplies and equipment left behind.
I had a headache at the station.
"You are really good at bargaining." Huashalevsky shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I will immediately order all the trains in the station to be allocated to you and give you priority. You should be satisfied with this, right?
