All major newspapers in China invariably used the same news as their front page headlines.
The Central Daily News, the mouthpiece of the government, reported in detail that in Nanjing, a lone army did not hesitate to use its body as bait to cover more than 100,000 civilians and friendly forces crossing the river. It withstood the attack of tens of thousands of Japanese troops and was still trapped in the
The isolated city of Nanjing is about to run out of ammunition and food.
The article not only pointed out the origin of this unit, but also wrote a special book about the commander of this unit, Su Rui.
"Suri, male, 27 years old, major director of the Logistics Department of the 36th Army Division of the National Revolutionary Army, originally went to Nanjing from Yijiangmen on business due to fortifications, and was later trapped in Nanjing. He not only organized a group of broken soldiers
Fighting with the Japanese army, and also spontaneously covering the main force's withdrawal across the Yangtze River. In order to reward his heroic behavior, Chairman Chiang specially ordered his promotion to colonel commander, and the independent battalion under his command was also promoted to an independent regiment. Captain Su's heroic and heroic deeds
It not only deeply moved my colleagues in the military, but also deeply moved thousands of Chinese people!"
At the end of the article, there was this sentence, "Let us pray for Colonel Su and the thousands of brave soldiers of his independent regiment."
As soon as the newspaper came out, the emotions that had been shrouded in the public for the failure of the Nanjing Defense War suddenly became excited. Wuhan, Chongqing, Jinan and other major cities held demonstrations in support of Su Rui who was trapped in Nanjing and his independence.
regiment, and requested the Nationalist Government to send troops to rescue Su Rui and his independent regiment who were besieged in Nanjing.
Even more excited college students put up slogans saying that heroes should not be allowed to die in vain at the hands of the Japanese, and called on the Nationalist government to send out the air force to blow up a passage for them.
"These students are really ignorant. Our air force has been exhausted a long time ago. How can we rescue Suri and the others?"
Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who had come to Wuhan from Chongqing to camp, was walking around in the office building with his hands behind his back. Behind him stood a middle-aged man with glasses and military uniform. This man had an elegant appearance, which made people look at him at first sight.
I felt a gentle atmosphere coming to my face. This person was He Yingqin, the first-level general who was the Minister of Military and Political Affairs at the time.
Chairman Chiang stopped and asked: "Jingzhi, has your Military and Political Department thought of any way to get Su Rui and others out?"
He Yingqin thought for a while and said in embarrassment: "Commissioner, Nanjing is now under the control of the Japanese, and our troops cannot penetrate!"
Chiang Kai-shek said angrily: "Nang Xipi, isn't Hu Zongnan's First Army still on the other side of the river? Why can't we connect with such a small force?"
The First Army mentioned by Chiang Kai-shek is the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army. This army is a direct branch of the Central Army. The history of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army was first established in August 1925, and its first commander was Chiang Kai-shek.
This army originated from the Whampoa Military Academy Teaching Corps and was one of Chiang Kai-shek's most direct and most elite troops.
He Yingqin smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Chairman, it is true that Hu Zongnan is on the other side of the river, but almost all the boats on the riverside were blown up by the Japanese. They are also powerless."
Chairman Chiang said disappointedly: "Is there really no way out?" He was not concerned about Su Rui's life or death, but that Su Rui had finally been set up as a model. The whole of Nanjing had fallen. He was a small person.
However, the major fought his way out and led a group of remnant troops to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army. This team was very beneficial in re-establishing the confidence of the people in the country to actively resist the war.
He Ying shook his head helplessly, saying that there was nothing he could do. However, seeing Chairman Jiang's disappointed look, he immediately cheered up and said: "Chairman, the identity of Suri has been found out."
"Oh, really?" After hearing this, Chairman Jiang couldn't help but cheer up, and asked happily: "Tell me, who is he from, and which period of Huangpu is he from?"
In the opinion of the chairman, all generals and officers in the national army who can fight must be graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy. Apart from his students, how can other officers be so good?
When Chairman Chiang asked about this, He Yingqin looked a little strange. He whispered: "This... this Su Rui is from Guangxi, and he is not a graduate of Whampoa Military Academy."
"From Guangxi? Didn't he graduate from Whampoa Military Academy?" Chairman Jiang frowned even more. "Then which military academy did he graduate from? Baoding Military Academy? Or from some martial arts school?"
"None of them!" He Yingqin had a look of dumbfounding on his face, "He...he never went to a military academy?"
"What? He never went to a military school?" Now Chairman Jiang's brows were not only frowning, but his head was about to explode. Are you kidding? An officer who has never even gone to a military school can lead
More than a thousand remnant soldiers blocked the Japanese army for several days, preventing the Japanese army from taking even an inch forward to Yijiang Gate.
Then so many officers in Nanjing should collectively jump into the Yangtze River, because these professional officers are not even as good as the deputy director of the logistics department who have never attended a military academy.
Chairman Jiang's face suddenly darkened: "Is this news accurate?"
"It's absolutely true. This was submitted after repeated confirmation by the people below." Not to mention Chairman Chiang, even He Yingqin kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
"And we also learned that Su Rui's family is still a well-known family in Guangxi. He is the only son in the family. His parents died early, and there is only one grandfather left in the family. And because the family is well-off, he is famous in his hometown.
He was domineering and mischievous. He had kidnapped the wife at home. Because his reputation in the village was so bad, his grandfather got angry and asked someone to send him to the army. He somehow ended up working in the logistics department of the 163rd Regiment of the 36th Division.
Got a deputy director.
Just a few days ago, he secretly worked with others to sell contraband in Nanjing, and then sneaked into Nanjing City through Yijiang Gate. It is estimated that he was blocked by the Japanese and couldn't get out, which led to such a scene!
"
"This... this, this..."
Chairman Chiang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He was simply listening to a third-rate folk novel, and it was the most ignorant one. A street bully who originally only knew how to walk around and rob civilian girls turned into an anti-Japanese hero.
The world is so fucking dramatic.
"Are you...are you sure you got it right?"
For the first time, Chairman Chiang felt that his brain was a little exhausted. How could this happen? A street bully who had sneaked into the revolutionary ranks by relying on his connections had suddenly transformed into an anti-Japanese hero in the blink of an eye.
Isn't this too fucking ridiculous?
After a long time, Chairman Chiang sighed and said: "Forget it, no matter what, this Su Rui has also made meritorious service to the party and the country. Even if he had some... flaws in the past, it can only be said that he acted too young.
Even if it is ridiculous, it can be forgiven! I respect you to handle this matter, and you must handle it properly, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand, I will do it right away!"
He Yingqin understood what the boss meant. Chinese people have always valued death. They are all going to die anyway. Even if someone made any mistakes in the past, it is considered a thing of the past. It is wrong and a sign of lack of self-cultivation to settle the old accounts of the dead.
Of course, a dignified political figure in a country cannot be so ungrateful!
In this way, in the following mainstream newspapers and periodicals, they continued to glorify Suri, trying to portray him as a perfect military image. Otherwise, how could the people in the country continue to donate money and materials to the government? Aspiring young people
Why would you join the army enthusiastically?
While the Nationalist Government continued to advocate, the Japanese Expeditionary Forces Headquarters in Shanghai also sent a letter of persuasion to surrender to Su Rui, and it was sent in a clear message. As soon as this message came out, the current situation was messed up again...
