When Jiang Cheng and Mr. Zhu were talking about logistics unification.
Public opinion circles in China and Japan began to surge.
This matter must start from May 1, 1936. This time had a different meaning for the people of Tianjin at that time. In the early morning of this day, people walking on the bank of the Haihe River near Dazhigu suddenly discovered that there was a floating boat floating on the river.
When several bodies were found, people's hearts immediately started to rise. The local police rushed to the scene and asked members of the Dazhigu Life Saving Association to hire people to fish out the bodies. At first, people thought they were passers-by who accidentally fell into the river and drowned.
Or people who committed suicide by jumping into the river because of family financial difficulties. However, gradually people discovered through newspaper reports that these floating corpses had a great origin, and it was not as simple as imagined.
Every morning after that, people would find floating corpses in this area. According to newspaper reports at the time, a total of 67 floating corpses were found from May 1 to 8, 1936. Although there had been floating corpses in the Dazhigu River before, this discovery
The numbers are really astonishing.
This is also the case of the floating corpse, one of the so-called Seven Mysterious Cases in later generations.
This is the first time in the history of Tianjin that such a large-scale floating corpse has appeared. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, and the various assumptions and legends were even more frightening. Faced with this situation, the Tianjin Police Department and the Wuhe Water Police Department
Begin to pay attention to find out the source of the corpse.
At that time, Gai Zhongmou, the chief of Wuhe Water Police in Hebei Province, sent out his branch and boats to search everywhere and found a total of 300 corpses. On May 14, three steamboats carried important tasks and set out for the North Canal and the South Canal respectively.
and Daqing River. They went there to check whether there were any floating corpses in the upper reaches. If there were floating corpses in the upper reaches, they would salvage them locally to prevent the corpses from floating downstream and affecting the social security of Tianjin city. However, the results of the inspection were disappointing.
On these rivers, the water at this time is very shallow, boats cannot use them, and people cannot be drowned.
In this way, the floating corpses on the Haihe River became a fog in Tianjin in May 1936. It seemed that no one could explain the mystery. In the blink of an eye, the time came to May 1937. At this time, the Beijing-Tianjin area could already vaguely feel the full invasion of Japan.
Due to the smell of China, the local authorities and news media in Tianjin were taboo against the Japanese Concession and the Japanese. Just this month, people discovered a large number of floating corpses on the Haihe River. This time the floating corpses were different from the previous year.
Many drug addicts have been added. This is diverting people's attention, or drug addicts and beggars are the protagonists of the floating corpses in the Haihe River.
Starting from April 6, 1937, another 87 corpses appeared in Tianjin's Haihe River. For a time, people were panicked and there were many rumors. One of them was that there were many dying beggars in the opium dens in the Japanese Concession.
People who take drugs here will be carried out and thrown away if they are found to be dying.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on May 8, 1937, at the Longwang Temple adjacent to the Japanese Concession, there was an aisle at the back door of the second telephone station at that time. This place was very remote. It was Zhakou Street in a certain concession. There were many beggars on the street who were addicted to drugs.
After the attack, he would fall down in this place. At that time, the detective team found four coolie-looking people on the riverside of Longwang Temple, carrying 6 corpses. Two of them were captured on the spot, and the other two escaped.
The Tianjin Municipal Police Bureau's Detective Team captured two corpse-abandoning criminals, named Kong Zhaoyuan and Yang Xiang. They were transferring six corpses at the time, and one of the so-called corpses was still alive. According to the two men's confession, they were instructed by others to
The body was moved to the bank of the Haihe River, but he refused to admit that he dumped the body into the Haihe River.
So where did these corpses come from? One thing mentioned earlier is that the Japanese army began to build a large number of warehouses in Tianjin. These warehouses used a large number of laborers. These laborers were very mobile and often disappeared without anyone asking.
, everyone immediately speculated that it was probably the Japanese army. After the fortifications were built, in order to keep the fortifications secret, they killed the Chinese coolies and threw their bodies into the river.
This incident immediately caused an uproar in public opinion after it was reported by Ta Kung Pao. Naturally, Japan refused to admit it, and the press circles of the two countries began to start a war of words.
But one wave after another occurred. On May 22, 1937, the Japanese Consulate in Shantou inspected Qingshan. They refused to apply for a moving permit in accordance with the police regulations and forcibly moved into Shenzhou Yangxing. After the police dissuaded them to no avail, Qingshan rebelled against the police.
He was beaten and injured. Japan also transferred its ships to Shantou to intimidate and cause the Shantou incident.
Although this matter is not a small one, it is often suppressed and eventually becomes nothing.
But then there was a Japanese ronin who thought that Shantou now had Japanese warships and was already dominated by the Japanese, so he went around making trouble. A policeman couldn't stand it and the argument with him eventually turned into a fight. In fact, neither party was seriously injured.
However, at the cusp of this storm, newspapers and public opinion immediately added fuel to the flames, causing both embassies to protest against the other party.
After Shantou got up again, Tianjin also started to exert its power again.
Because people at that time believed that the corpse floating in Haihe River in Tianjin was caused by the Japanese army, protests against Japan were held every day, and the business of Japanese merchants' shops also plummeted. Immediately, some Japanese overseas believed that this was China's provocation against Japan, and they needed to put pressure on the Chinese government.
, a few young boys, instigated by thoughtful people, actually captured the customs sub-card and demanded that Song Zheyuan and the Nanjing government apologize to Japan, otherwise they would continue to attack.
This series of events quickly destroyed Sato's "peace" diplomacy. There were clamoring calls to teach China a lesson everywhere in Japan. The legend of Tanabata Night was secretly sung throughout the underground world of Tokyo. And China also
The anti-Japanese concept is promoted everywhere, and all discerning people have understood that the war between China and Japan is about to break out.
Tianjin
Looking at the results made by his own hands, Shigekawa Hidekazu smiled and said to the Japanese officer opposite, "I believe that this way, the rotten atmosphere in the country should be blown away a lot."
Tashiro Anichiro nodded and said, "Then the next step, your Shigegawa Agency's goal is to inquire about the military deployment in the Pingjin area and prepare for the next part of the imperial army."
Shigekawa Hidekazu excitedly said "Hi!!"
Yan'an
Chairman Mao was taking Tu Sizong and others to inspect the military camp.
When he saw everyone in the military camp practicing combat skills, Tu Sizong couldn't help but ask, "Is your army's training always so strict? Or is it just sharpening your guns in battle?"
Ye Jianying, who was accompanying him next to him, smiled and said, "This is a large-scale military training activity we have launched recently. There will be competitions in every combat subject. In the end, the champion will be selected and will be given certain material encouragement and spiritual rewards. So now every soldier is trained
They are very enthusiastic and often practice extra drills during breaks. As for whether we are sharpening our weapons before the battle, we will know when we go to the battlefield later."
Tu Sizong had led troops before, and of course he knew that such a large-scale military training required not only sufficient efforts in mobilization, but also sufficient support in materials. He asked, "Mr. Mao, your Red Army's materials seem to be very rich."
Really? Such training requires a lot of food rations alone."
The main purpose of this inspection was to determine the future reorganization of the Red Army and other issues. Although he did not want to be too ostentatious to make the White Army jealous, nor did he want to show weakness, Chairman Mao said, "We not only conducted large-scale military training activities, but also carried out large-scale military training activities."
production activities, so there is enough military rations.”
"However, your army seems to be a little behind in terms of ordnance. There are actually some who use red tassel guns to practice assassination. Could it be that your army is preparing to learn from Yue Wumu? Use Yue's guns to attack the Japanese invaders?" Tu Sizong pointed to the distance and held it.
The soldier trained with a spear laughed.
Chairman Mao was not angry but said, "Resisting Japan relies on actions rather than words, and fighting relies on brains rather than equipment. Some troops with foreign guns and cannons ran away when they saw the Japanese and did not dare to fight with them.
A man with a broadsword and a spear dares to compete with the Japanese. General Tu, you were born in a military academy and have read many poems and books. Do you think what I say makes sense?"
Tu Sizong snorted and said nothing. Shao Hua smoothed things over and said, "We all see your army's determination to resist Japan, but a snake can't do without a head, don't you know?"
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Our two parties are originally Chinese parties. Even I served as acting minister of the Central Propaganda Department during the Guangzhou period. Too many things have happened since then. It is useless to say who is who, but brothers are fighting against each other.
There is a clear saying from ancient times that we should resist foreign aggression. Today, Nanjing is the brother and Yan'an is the brother. If we sincerely work together to deal with foreign countries, the brothers will naturally serve as brothers. Today, the whole country demands unity to resist Japan. This requires the whole country to be united in order to generate strength. This is the truth.
, it is self-evident. In short, as long as we unite to resist Japan, everything will be easy to negotiate."
Hearing what Chairman Mao said, the White Party inspection team was speechless. At this time, bursts of cheers came from the playground in the distance.
Tu Sizong said curiously, "I don't know what happened to make your soldiers so happy."
Chairman Mao knew that Jiang Cheng was back and was worried that Jiang Cheng might have brought something from the future that caused a stir. Ye Jianying said at the side, "That's the competition ground over there. I remember today is a bombing and stabbing competition. It should be
It was when everyone saw the soldiers' superb fighting skills that they couldn't help but cheer."
Chairman Mao smoked a cigarette and waved his hand and said, "Let's go take a look."
When I arrived at the martial arts training ground, I saw the soldiers sitting on the ground in order of their squads, cheering from time to time.
I only saw seven or eight small pits arranged every 10 meters in the training ground. There were 8 rows in total. The soldiers were crawling in the simulated bunker, looking up from time to time and then throwing practice bombs. Whenever someone could accurately throw them in front of them,
The soldiers cheered when they reached the small pit.
The commanders in charge of the competition saw the chairman and others and quickly ran over to salute.
The chairman waved his hand and asked, "How was it? Did the game go well?"
The commander pointed to a soldier on the right and said, "Everyone performed very well, especially that soldier. He has won the first place in the stabbing competition, and now the bomb throwing has also entered the finals."
Chairman Mao smiled and said, "It seems like this is a master."
I saw this bald man throwing three grenades in a row and all of them entered the pit. Such a wonderful performance made the visiting delegation members cheer and applaud.
"It seems that there are indeed many warriors in your army. Such warriors are rare in the Central Army," Shao Hua praised.
At this time, the game was over, and as expected, this bald man won the first place.
I saw this bald man being hugged and cheered by everyone. Shao Hua asked, "I wonder which general has good soldiers at this time?"
Chairman Mao also looked at the commander and soldier.
I saw a man coming out from behind and said with a smile, "I know this man. He is a soldier under my command. His name is Wang Tiedan. It is said that he has practiced kung fu for a while and joined the army during the Ruijin period."
The person who spoke was wearing glasses, tall and smiling. It was Liu Bocheng.
Tu Sizong said angrily, "It turns out they are soldiers of the Bodhisattva Military God. No wonder they are so powerful."
It turns out that Liu Bocheng spent 10 months in the General School in 1921. Not only did he excel in his studies, but he was also well-known throughout the school for his upright conduct, integrity, and lack of bad habits. He was called the "Bodhisattva" in the military by his classmates. In March 1916, he was
While commanding the attack on Fengdu County, he was shot in the right eye and became disabled. During the treatment process, in order not to damage the brain nerves, he endured the excruciating pain and insisted on not using anesthesia. He was praised as a "military god" by the German doctor who performed his surgery.
So Tu Sizong said that he was the Bodhisattva God of War.
The chairman smiled and said, "They are all our Chinese troops. There is no such thing as anyone's soldiers. Let's go over there and have a look."
Late at night, Jiang Cheng finally waited for the chairman. When the chairman knew that Jiang Cheng had actually contacted modern military weapons, he was very excited and said, "Okay, this way our Red Army can really be said to be strong."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "With the weapons I ordered from Germany, our Red Army's armaments will no longer be tense."
Chairman Mao smoked a cigarette and said, "Wars do not rely on weapons. If we relied on weapons, we would not resist Japan. We can't win anyway. The key is people. Boss, you need to worry more about this."
Mr. Zhu took out a book from his arms and said, "I have removed some of the teaching materials that Xiao Jiang brought last time that we cannot use, added some of our own methods, and compiled a new teaching material. I have thought about it a few times.
Tianjiu organized manpower to increase printing, and I believe that if our soldiers master these combat skills, our soldiers' combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly enhanced."
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "This fighting technique is one thing, and these tactics are another. I think we should still fight guerrilla warfare in the early stages of the Anti-Japanese War, not frontal warfare. Xiao Jiang, tell us what we used in the Anti-Japanese War."
guerrilla tactics."
When Jiang Cheng talked about this, he immediately became excited. He immediately sat down and started talking about the guerrilla tactics such as mine warfare, tunnel warfare, sparrow warfare, siege warfare, etc. that he had seen in books and movies. Although during the Jinggangshan period, the Red Army also
Although they had fought guerrilla warfare, Chairman Mao and Mr. Zhu secretly praised these novel tactics and were fascinated by the wisdom of the people. Mr. Zhu also kept writing notes, preparing to teach future generations these experiences in advance.
To the Red Army.
After listening to Jiang Cheng's introduction, Chairman Mao sighed, "The power of people's war is infinite. I think as long as we give full play to the enthusiasm and wisdom of the people, the Japanese devils are indeed not scary."
