The telegram for help sent by Wang Husheng in the name of the New Regiment was quickly sent to Chongqing and was presented to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's desk by the aide-de-camp.
It is necessary to say again that at this time, Chairman Chiang’s attitude towards Xu Rui and the New Group had changed a lot compared to before. Previously, Chairman Chiang had always regarded Xu Rui and the New Group as a serious problem for the party and state.
, However, now, Chairman Chiang has turned to regard Xu Rui and the New Group as the gancheng of the party-state.
It was not that Chairman Chiang was willing to do this, but he was forced to do so due to helplessness and the situation.
Because as long as Xu Rui and the New Regiment are there, a large part of the Japanese army can be contained in Changbai Mountain. Once Xu Rui and his New Regiment are eaten by the Japanese, then the Japanese army can devote a large part of their troops to the Chinese battlefield.
In this way, the pressure faced by the national army on the Chinese battlefield will greatly increase!
What's more, now that the Japanese have swallowed up the Far East and most of Siberia, the heavy industrial bases that the Soviet Union spent hundreds of years building in the Far East have all fallen into the hands of the Japanese. At this time, if it weren't for Xu Rui and his new group
With the regiment's strong containment and full-scale harassment, the heavy industrial base in the Far East will continuously provide equipment and ammunition to the Japanese army. In that case, the Chinese battlefield will be in big trouble!
Therefore, now Chairman Chiang really wants to support Xu Rui with a group of veterans.
As the saying goes, the butt determines the head. Now that the threat from the Japanese has far exceeded that of the Communist Party, Chairman Chiang's fear of Xu Rui is no longer so strong.
Even Chairman Chiang began to worry about the new group.
When the New Regiment was expelled from the Tonghua area by the Japanese Far Eastern Army a few days ago, Chairman Chiang was worried for a long time, fearing that the New Regiment would suffer heavy losses. In this case, the situation in the Northeast would be hopeless! Fortunately, in the end, this situation
did not appear, Xu Rui and his new group finally withstood the test.
On the contrary, Chairman Chiang's fear of the Japanese was growing day by day.
Because now the Japanese really have the financial resources to destroy China!
If the Japanese government can solve the current economic difficulties it is facing, and then restore and operate the heavy industrial base in the Far East snatched from the Soviets, it is not impossible to destroy China!
Therefore, whether the New Regiment can persist is crucial to the entire Chinese War of Resistance.
Therefore, after receiving the telegram from the New Regiment, Chairman Chiang said without hesitation: "Let the attendant's office notify that all newspapers across the country must publish this announcement from the New Regiment tomorrow, and in addition...
In the name of the central government, we publish a letter to compatriots across the country, oh no, to publish a letter to overseas Chinese all over the world, calling on all young overseas Chinese who are eligible to transfer to Vladivostok and go to Wujiashan Fortress to join Xu Rui's troops."
He Yingqin reminded in a low voice: "Commissioner, all the new regiment needs is someone who knows martial arts."
Chairman Chiang said: "Those who know martial arts can join the Wolf Fang Brigade, and those who don't know martial arts can join the New Regiment's combat troops. After being forced to evacuate Fengtian, the New Regiment suffered repeated blows, not only losing most of its troops.
Part of the baggage and personnel have also been reduced sharply to less than 5,000 people. This is the time when fresh blood is urgently needed."
"Yes, it's a clear guide to the appointment." He Yingqin said boredly, with a look of disdain on his face.
Chairman Chiang then said: "You should contact the Soviet Minister in Chongqing again. If overseas Chinese take their cruise ship to Vladivostok, they must let them go. In addition to waiving the ship fare, they will also provide free meals and all the expenses incurred."
, it will be borne by the National Government. Although the government is poor, it is still not short of this little money."
"Yes." He Yingqin responded respectfully, then turned and left.
Watching He Yingqin leave, Chairman Chiang asked Bai Chongxi again: "Jiansheng, you can say that you were right in your previous judgments about the New Regiment. So this time, do you think the New Regiment can still gain a foothold in Wujiashan Fortress?
And then grow and develop?”
"Yes!" Bai Chongxi replied without hesitation, "Xu Rui can build a solid anti-Japanese base in Damei Mountain where there is nothing. Now that there is a solid Wujiashan Fortress as a support, there is no problem! The only problem now is Xu Rui's
To what extent will the new group develop or expand to?"
Chairman Jiang's facial muscles trembled, and he asked gloomily: "What do you mean by this?"
Bai Chongxi said: "What I mean is that Xu Rui's new regiment will most likely expand into a heavily armed group of more than 500,000 people!"
"A heavily armed group with more than 500,000 people?" Before Chairman Jiang could speak, Chen Cheng jumped up and said in a disdainful tone, "Brother Jiansheng, are you kidding me?"
After a pause, Chen Cheng continued: "If nothing else, where did these 500,000 soldiers come from? Wujiashan Fortress is located in the most remote Hunchun County. The total population of the county is only a few hundred thousand. Xu
Even if Rui captures all the strong men, he still can't raise an army of 30,000 people. How can he form a heavy army of 500,000 people?"
Bai Chongxi said: "There are indeed only a few hundred thousand people in Hunchun County, but there are 30 million elders in the three eastern provinces!"
After a pause, Bai Chongxi said calmly: "Guarding the more than 30 million fellow villagers in the three northeastern provinces, guarding Little Japan's Northeast Heavy Industry Base, and Little Japan's Far East Heavy Industry Base that they snatched from the Soviets, Xu Rui is still afraid.
Can’t we gather 500,000 troops? Are we still afraid that we won’t be able to get weapons and equipment?”
Chairman Jiang's expression immediately became unnatural.
Chairman Chiang suddenly felt a little regretful. Perhaps he shouldn't help the New Group publish the announcement?
However, you can't regret it at this time, otherwise, wouldn't it be a slap in your face?
Although Chairman Chiang always behaves shamelessly, it is still inappropriate to slap himself in the face so quickly.
Chen Cheng, however, did not believe Bai Chongxi's judgment at all and said: "It's better not to talk about a heavy army group with more than 500,000 people. Now Xu Rui's new group is facing a life and death disaster! The Japanese Army Ministry and Yamashita
Fengwen is determined to form a special operations division, so the new regiment should first think about how to deal with this special operations division!"
After hearing this, Chairman Jiang relaxed for a moment and said: "Yes, that's right, it is still unknown whether the new regiment can deal with the special operations division that will be formed."
…
The news that the Langya Brigade was recruiting members quickly spread throughout the country and abroad.
As a gathering place for overseas Chinese, Singapore is no exception.
However, Singapore at this time was far from comparable to Singapore under the rule of the Lee family and his sons. Singapore at this time was just an ordinary city in Malaya.
In a corner of Singapore, there is an inconspicuous small courtyard.
However, the plaque hanging on the gate of the courtyard is quite impressive, Nanyang Martial Arts Museum!
At that time, when the Chinese just moved south from the coast to Southeast Asia, they were often bullied by the local indigenous people. In order to strengthen their bodies and protect themselves, the overseas Chinese formed societies and practiced martial arts. Therefore, the national martial arts of Nanyang was very popular. The Nanyang National Martial Arts Museum was where the local overseas Chinese learned and spread it.
A place for Chinese martial arts.
At this moment, there are dozens of young people practicing martial arts in the courtyard of the Nanyang Martial Arts Center.
However, there were three young men lying lazily under the banyan tree in the corner and did not participate.
A young man put his hands behind his head and said lazily: "It's really boring to live this life."
Another young man with a grass stem in his mouth asked casually: "Awen, what kind of life do you want to live?"
The young man named Awen, who put his hands behind his head, said: "Aaron, I have already thought about it. I want to return to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War and use my martial arts to kill the little Japanese!"
Awen's full name is Xia Wen. The Xia family was originally a wealthy businessman in Shanghai. Shortly after the 128th Anti-Japanese War, they provoked the Japanese Black Dragon Society, and all their properties were occupied by the Black Dragon Society. Fortunately, Jin Jiuling, the leader of the Green Gang, came to help.
The whole family was able to move to Singapore and settle down, but then the family fell into decline and their father died of illness.
Now, Xia Wen can only make a living by working hard on the dock.
Aaron's name is Chen Jianlong, and he is also a big bag carrier at the pier.
"Return to China to join the Anti-Japanese War?" said the last young man, "We can't even afford a boat ticket."
The last young man who spoke was called Xiao Wentian. His family background was slightly better than that of Xia Wen and Chen Jianlong. Xia Wen and Chen Jianlong arrived at the dock early to work hard, but Xiao Wentian was still studying in school. However, a ticket to return to China was a big deal for Xiao Wentian.
He said it was still a huge burden and he simply couldn't afford the money.
After Xiao Wentian finished speaking, Xia Wen and Chen Jianlong fell silent.
After a long silence, Xia Wencai said: "This is really a penny that can stump a heroic man."
While the three of them were talking, a newsboy's cry suddenly sounded outside the yard: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Big news, Captain Xu Rui's new regiment is recruiting soldiers, and the Langya Brigade is recruiting! As long as you join the army, you can get free shipping tickets and free food.
We will take a cruise ship to Vladivostok for accommodation expenses, and all expenses will be borne by the National Government. Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!”
"What, as long as you join the army, you can take a cruise to Vladivostok with no air tickets, no food and accommodation?" Xia Wen's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "What's more, such a good thing? Let's all go!"
Xiao Wentian frowned and said: "It's to go to Vladivostok, but not to return to China. Why go to the Soviet Union?"
Chen Jianlong also wondered: "This is also strange. The New Regiment is recruiting people. Why send them to Vladivostok?"
Xiao Wentian paused for a moment and suddenly asked loudly: "Wait a minute, the newsboy just said, which regiment leader is recruiting troops?"
Chen Jianlong and Xia Wen looked at each other and said, "You are talking about Xu Rui? Captain Xu Rui is recruiting troops?"
The next moment, the three young men shouted at the same time: "Captain Xu Rui! It's Commander Xu Rui's army recruiting troops! And it's Commander Xu Rui's Langya Brigade recruiting troops!"
"Quick, Xiaotian, go buy a newspaper!" Xia Wen shouted.
However, Xiao Wentian had already rushed out of the martial arts hall gate like flying.
