In February, Chang Kaishen went to Guangxi in person because the fighting there was so ugly.
The so-called "Victory at Kunlun Pass" was promoted to make the people happy. It was the only bright spot in the entire Guangxi Battle.
The real situation is that the Chinese army counterattacked Nanning with superior force. Since Kunlun Pass is located to the north of Nanning, the two sides fought here first. Tens of thousands of central elites launched an attack on Kunlun Pass, but only 800 Japanese invaders were stationed at the pass. The fierce attack lasted more than 40 days.
After paying a heavy price, we finally captured the Kunlun Pass.
What's even more ridiculous is that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived at this time and detoured back to the left flank of the 37th National Army. Li Yannian, the commander of the 2nd Army who was ordered to garrison Kunlun Pass, was afraid of being cut off by the Japanese army, so he gave up without resisting.
The captured Kunlun Pass.
Just retreat without authorization. Unable to even retreat, the 9th Division of the 2nd Army ran headlong into the Japanese aggressors' pocket formation. The 9th Division was directly defeated. The division commander Zheng Zuomin personally broke through with a machine gun. The officers and soldiers fought
After the battle, they discovered that the division commander had been killed, so they quickly sent the cavalry back to retrieve Zheng Zuomin's body.
The battle of more than two months was in vain!
Before Chang Kaishen arrived in Guangxi, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng were kicked off and replaced by Zhang Fakui as the frontline commander. When Chiang Kai-shek arrived in person, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng were immediately punished with a salary reduction and retention (both were demoted to Level 2).
General), a total of eight generals of the 38th Army, including the commander-in-chief, were dismissed from their posts for investigation, the commander-in-chief of the 37th Army was transferred to a military court, and the 9th Division of the 2nd Army was directly revoked (renamed "Unknown Division").
This battle was so embarrassing that Chiang Kai-shek felt ashamed. China had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, firepower, and even the air force (more than half of the Chinese fighter planes were transferred to the southern Guangxi battlefield). As a result, the battle lasted for more than two months.
The elites of the Central Army suffered heavy losses, and only one of the "Kunlun Pass Victory" was killed 3 for 1.
Well, it can only be said that the Chinese army won strategically and defeated the Japanese army's intention to completely blockade China. It is impossible to look at the specific results in detail.
The most ridiculous thing is that Chang Kaishen's itinerary was clearly known by the Japanese invaders. He was bombed four times by Japanese planes in three consecutive days. 12 of Chiang Kai-shek's bodyguards were injured. Needless to say, it must be Guangxi.
There was a traitor who informed him, and his position was very high. Especially during the bombing on the 21st, when Chiang Kai-shek was in the wilderness and among the mountains, the Japanese planes were able to find his residence accurately.
Compared with the messy battlefield in southern Guangdong, Yu Hanmou, who lost Guangzhou in a panic, realized his shame and became brave. The Japanese army dispatched 70,000 troops to invade northern Guangdong to cooperate with their offensive in southern Guangdong, but Yu Hanmou only had 120,000 troops.
And the weapons and equipment are very backward.
Under this situation, Yu Hanmou relied on the mountains of northern Guangdong to resist arduously. When he learned that a Japanese army had left Guangdong to support southern Guangxi, Yu Hanmou immediately launched a full-line counterattack and achieved his first major victory on the Guangdong battlefield.
…
Just after the Lunar New Year, Zhou Hexuan was dragged to Chengdu by Feng Yuxiang, along with Lao She, director of the All-China Literary and Art Circles Anti-Enemy Association.
When the All-China Literary and Art Circles Anti-Enemy Association was established, Zhou Hexuan was not in the country, but he was invited to join last year, and he was given the position of an honorary director. In addition to Zhou Hexuan, Zhou Gong, Sun Ke and Chen Lifu are also honorary directors.
This organization has dozens of branches across the country, and its main tasks are: leading anti-Japanese propaganda, relieving poor intellectuals, rescuing progressive people, etc.
The anti-Japanese front was fierce with real swords and guns, and the literary and artistic front was also not easy. For example, the Japanese army often organized traitors to publicize the Sino-Japanese friendship to the people at the bottom in the form of folk arts, cross talk, storytelling, songs, etc. These performances often included pornographic elements.
The jokes are quite popular among the masses.
Cultural soft knives are sometimes more terrifying than real knives and must not be taken lightly. Lao She recruited a group of cross talk artists to write cross talk himself and engage in a cross talk propaganda war with the cultural traitors. Lao She even went on stage in person, dragging Liang Shiqiu along with him.
Talking about cross talk, there is a rumor that Liang Shiqiu has a unique trick.
In fact, Liang Shiqiu didn't know how to speak cross talk at all, so he was forced to participate in the performance. They performed several performances for two nights in a row. At the end of the second night, Lao She accidentally knocked off Liang Shiqiu's glasses, and Liang Shiqiu caught them conveniently.
People's unintentional actions coincided with the performance, and the audience thought they were intentional. Breaking and catching glasses was a unique skill. The whole audience suddenly shouted: "One more time, one more time!"
From then on, the writer Liang Shiqiu became a crosstalk actor and often received invitations to perform from various groups and units.
When the car passed Qingmuguan, someone was selling roasted sweet potatoes.
Feng Yuxiang immediately said happily: "Hey, there are roasted sweet potatoes. I often ate them when I was a child in Peiping."
Lao She smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I used to eat sweet potatoes when I was a kid in Peiping."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go down and buy a few." Feng Yuxiang quickly opened the car door, walked to the stall in a few steps, turned around and said to Zhou Hexuan, "Brother Mingcheng, I'll pick a big one for you!"
Zhou Hexuan said happily: "I'll choose it myself."
The three of them were like beggars, squatting in front of the stall and eating roasted sweet potatoes together.
While gnawing on it, Feng Yuxiang said: "Why don't we write a poem criticizing Wang Zhaoming for his treason and see who can write it best!"
Since the "Secret Appointment between Wang and Japan" was exposed, public opinion across the country has been filled with criticism. In early February, a meeting to demand Wang was held in Yan'an. The Communist Party called on people across the country to carry out a movement to demand Wang.
Lao She agreed: "Mr. Zhou, let's come up with a topic and start working on it."
Zhou Hexuan pointed to the roasted sweet potato in his hand and said, "How about taking roasted sweet potato as the title?"
Lao She opened his mouth and said, "Oh, Wang Zhaoming, it's not as fragrant as sweet potatoes!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Zhou Hexuan and Feng Yuxiang burst into laughter. Lao She often played with Feng Yuxiang. He was imitating Feng Yuxiang's "Qiu Ba Shi".
Feng Yuxiang urged: "Brother Mingcheng, please take the next sentence."
Zhou Hexuan continued the first two lines of Lao She's poem and wrote: "Not only does it taste bad, but traitors stink to heaven!"
"I'll pick them up," Feng Yuxiang said quickly, "if the flies stink, I'll slap them all to death!"
"Good sentence, good sentence!" Zhou Hexuan and Lao She praised sincerely.
After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, the three of them continued to move forward. On the way, Lao She saw rapeseed flowers blooming all over Manshan, so he said, "How about we use cauliflower as the theme."
Poet Feng readily agreed. By the time the car arrived in Longchang, he had already written more than 100 lines: "It was twenty-nine days ago, and the cauliflower flowers in Shudao were yellow. The brilliance was really pleasing to the eye, and the wind blew the fragrance. This flower has pride and dares to fight."
Feng Shuang. We are fighting the enemy at the front, but Wang Thief surrenders... Woohoo! Wang Zhaoming, his heart and soul are all gone! Woohoo, Wang Zhaoming is not as good as cauliflower yellow!"
After Zhou Hexuan and Lao She finished reading, they gave thumbs up and praised: "What a poem!"
For Feng Yuxiang, it is very rare to be able to write a long poem of more than one hundred lines like this.
After repeated consideration by Zhou Hexuan and Lao She, who also helped Feng Yuxiang revise several words, this long poem was named "Sichuan Cauliflower Yellow" and was planned to be published in newspapers and magazines after returning to Chongqing.
