The recovery of Wuhan is tantamount to a huge bomb dropped into seemingly peaceful days.
"Is this true?" A newspaper office didn't believe it when it first received the telegram. At that time, it was indeed a public telegram from the National Government. And today, there will be a public press conference in Chongqing to report
About the process of the Wuhan Liberation Campaign.
"Editor-in-Chief, it seems to be true! And there is a press conference in Chongqing today!"
"Great! Great! Come on, send a message to the branch in Chongqing and tell them that they must get first-hand information about the battle to recover Wuhan! Which unit was responsible for the first victory in this battle? What were the casualties of each unit?
How many Japs have been killed, what are our casualties, and which way did the Japs run to! Go quickly!" The editor-in-chief paced back and forth in the room and said excitedly, "Also, buy a bunch of firecrackers, no, two bunches, and take them to our newspaper office.
Click at the door! Go quickly!"
"Hey, okay!"
Seeing that his subordinates had already gone out after listening to his instructions, he also took his hat, put it on, and went to meet his friends. He wanted to tell his friends this news quickly, those who still love this country!
…
A young man put incense in front of a memorial tablet, bowed respectfully, and said, "Dad, Wuhan has been liberated, the little Japs have been driven away, and many Japs have been killed these days. In the past, you always said
, Master Wang set the Central Plains Day in the north, and he never forgot to tell Nai Weng about family sacrifices. Now, Wuhan has been liberated. Although Master Wang has not liberated all of China, I have a hunch that this day will not be too far away, so I will give it to you first.
Reporting this good news will make you happy down there."
"It's just that my eldest brother died. But, dad, don't worry, I will raise my nephew."

Somewhere restaurant
"Wuhan is liberated! Wuhan is liberated!" a newspaper seller shouted, but there was no newspaper in his hand. His whole little face was red from running and shouting.
"Xiao Dingzi, are you serious?" A diner was drinking porridge and eating breakfast.
"Really! It was the editor-in-chief of XX newspaper who told me to tell everyone the news quickly! There will also be a press conference in Chongqing today to explain clearly the process of Wuhan's recovery, and then there will be a press conference tonight
Print the newspaper urgently, you can see it tomorrow!" The boy selling the newspaper said excitedly. Every time he had a big victory, his newspaper business would be very good.
"Okay, if what you said is true, I will buy 10 newspapers tomorrow! I will also treat you to breakfast! By the way, Xiao Dingzi, have you had breakfast today?"
"Not yet. I've been busy promoting this news all morning." The child touched his head shyly.
"Come on, come on, take these." A diner gave the child three large meat buns and three eggs on his table. "You will be hungry if you don't have breakfast, and you won't have the energy by then, and the newspaper won't come out.
, it’s up to you to run away to let everyone know this news!”
"Thank you, sir!" the newsboy said happily.
"Mr. Chen, how can I let you spend money?" At this time, the restaurant owner came over and said, "You come to my house for dinner today, and tomorrow's newspapers will be sold at my house."
"Really?" the newsboy asked excitedly.
"Yes, Wuhan has been restored. Although I am a businessman, I also want to contribute."
“Shopkeeper Lou is so kind!”
The diners around them praised them, saying that the people who ate at their restaurant had rich or expensive families and would not miss such a meal. At that time, the recovery of Wuhan was indeed very pleasant.
"You're welcome, as long as you take care of my business in the future!"
"that's for sure!"
Situations like this happened in various cities and places, and most people even bought firecrackers to celebrate. For a time, all parts of the country, whether in occupied areas or non-occupied areas, were beaming with joy.

Wuhan
"Finally, we really did it!" A New Fourth Army soldier looked at Wuhan excitedly. Yes, they also launched a general offensive last night, cooperating with all parties to exterminate the Japanese. Just last night, they killed and wounded at least
With more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers, they achieved unprecedented results.
Then, hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered in the city of Wuhan, including those from the New Fourth Army, the Independent Division, and other parts of the National Army. The scene was a bit subtle for a while. The difference was that the old gods of the Independent Division were present, and the National Army and the New Fourth Army were
Somewhat nervous.
"Hello, Li Chang is the New Regiment of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army of the National Revolutionary Army."
"Hello, Fang Shengli, commander of the First Brigade of the Independent Division of the Fifth Theater Zone of the National Revolutionary Army."
"Hello, Zhang Zizhong."
Several generals from the three parties met. Although the atmosphere was a bit subtle, it was generally very pleasant. After all, they all won a great victory and Wuhan was recovered. As for the other troops, some continued to pursue the Japanese.
"Brother Fang!" Zhang Zizhong patted Fang Shengli on the shoulder, "We meet again!"
"Brother Zhang, we haven't seen you for a long time! You're well!" Fang Shengli replied with a smile, and then looked at Li Chang, "Captain Li, it's our first time meeting you. Please give me some advice."
"Hey, I don't dare to take this seriously! Both of you are officers!" Li Chang quickly smiled and waved his hand, "I, Old Li, am just a mud-legged person."
"Heroes don't care where they come from!" Zhang Zizhong said with a smile, "I have seen that your regiment fights bravely and has well-trained soldiers. If your army had not been led by Commander Li's troops as the vanguard, I am afraid they would not have been able to break in so quickly."
Li Chang grinned and laughed. Of course he was very happy when someone praised him. Moreover, he could hear that Zhang Zizhong sincerely praised him, "Thank you, Chief Zhang! In fact, the recovery of Wuhan really relied on everyone."
With sincere cooperation, as long as we unite as one, we will be able to drive the Japanese out, and Wuhan is a good proof."
"That's right." Zhang Zizhong nodded in agreement. The situation between the two parties has been pretty good and harmonious recently. This attack on Wuhan has deepened cooperation. "By the way, where are brothers Fang and Weiguo?"
"Oh, he's chasing the Japanese." Fang Shengli smiled, "There's no way to stop him. I have my soldiers chasing him, but he insists on chasing him directly."
"That's such a pity. I also want to meet Master Zhou, who is famous all over the world." Li Chang sighed. He was very interested in Zhou Weiguo's special operations. It is said that the Communist Party also sent people to study. It's a pity.
We sent 50 people, but these 50 people couldn't get their turn.
"It's okay, he will be back when the time comes." Fang Shengli said with a smile, "Let's go, there should be a joint meeting about Wuhan's next arrangements."
"Then let's go together."
…
Chongqing, a hotel.
A simple stage was set up with many chairs placed underneath, and the entrance to the hotel was already crowded with people.
