Zhang Fakui¡¯s words reminded Li Guoyao of what he saw in Wuhan a few days ago. Indeed, as Zhang Fakui said, the entire city of Wuhan was already filled with anger and anti-Japanese enthusiasm.
As the war approaches, coupled with several previous major defeats, a large number of war refugees poured into Wuhan from Anhui, Jiangxi and other places, filling the entire city of Wuhan with an atmosphere of revenge.
In order to arouse the Chinese people and support the Anti-Japanese War, and also show their support for the United Front against Japan, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party planned to launch a massive national salvation propaganda campaign in Wuhan and donate funds to support the Anti-Japanese War.
When the news came out, it immediately won unanimous response from the leftists of the Kuomintang, progressive people, and social elites. For several days afterwards, the gray three-story building located at No. 90 in the Japanese Concession in Hankou was bustling with people and extremely busy all day long.
A few days ago, Chairman Chiang delivered a main battle speech in Wuhan, which pushed the anti-war craze in Wuhan to a new climax.
The government's main war stance, the hatred of the Japanese in the hearts of the soldiers and civilians, and the extensive propaganda from the Propaganda Office and various national salvation groups finally set off a fiery anti-Japanese and national salvation craze in Wuhan again. Soon, this trend spread to major cities in the mainland such as Chongqing, Guangzhou, and Xi'an.
And on July 7, this overwhelming tide was pushed to its peak.
That morning, Chiang Kai-shek¡¯s impassioned anniversary report on the War of Resistance Against Japan had already fanned the flames. Although he has a strong Zhejiang accent, his rich expressions and heroic and tragic words are still very inspiring.
The whole city of Wuhan was in a state of uproar. There were public memorials to the anti-Japanese martyrs, parades and rallies, and propaganda speeches, and the whole city was in a commotion. Among these activities, the most lively, touching and exciting is the donation activity from all walks of life in Wuhan at Yuemachang Square in Wuchang.
The large square was completely surrounded by men, women, children, officials, merchants, workers and peasants, coachmen, beggars, soldiers and refugees who came to donate money and cheer for the event. Here, you can¡¯t see the hypocrisy of ordinary officials, the aloofness of ladies, the treachery of traders, the arrogance of soldiers What is there is only equality and love.
Only then can people feel that the stranger, who usually looks numb, turns out to be filled with passionate blood, the blood of the Chinese people.
Only then can people realize the weight of each copper plate that exudes body temperature. Chinese people with a clear conscience will never forget those touching scenes.
Li Guoyao also participated in the day's activities. He first listened to Chairman Chiang's speech. This was a political mission. Not only Li Guoyao, but also the 61st Army and all middle and senior officers in Wuhan were ordered to participate.
However, after listening to the report, Li Guoyao did not go to the reception luncheon. He could not eat the delicacies, so after the meeting, he took almost all the senior officers of the 61st Army to the donation site in the city.
At the donation site, Li Guoyao saw the most touching scene in his life.
When Li Guoyao came over at that time, he happened to catch up with a businessman donating money. He approached the donation box, unwrapped layers of tightly wrapped silk handkerchiefs, and placed a thick pile of money on the box.
He looked at the people in the audience, sighed and said: "The silk factory collapsed, so I pawned these 500 yuan. I originally wanted to start working again in the rear, but now I have thought about it. Go back to your hometown in the countryside, as long as the Japanese don't leave , there is chaos everywhere, what can be accomplished? If this little money can buy a few guns, so that the brothers on the front line can kill a few more Japanese, I will be satisfied."
Watching the money fall into the gold box, the businessman still shed tears. But there was also pride in his tears.
The person donating money and materials behind the businessman was a wounded soldier on a crutch, wearing an old military uniform that was as torn as a curtain. Judging from the color and standard, he should be a wounded soldier of the Northwest Army.
I saw him moving to the front of the stage with difficulty, groping around for a long time, taking out all the 10 yuan, and then putting it in the box.
Seeing this, the staff couldn't bear it and stepped forward to persuade him: "Brother, you are a hero and have given a leg to the country. This money may be your last pension. If you donate it, how can you make a living?"
The wounded soldier said with emotion: "I lost this leg on the Henan front line, but I don't regret it. It's a pity that I can't go to the battlefield anymore. Now that North China has fallen, it's hard for me to return home. Just help me, just treat these 10 The money is to avenge myself.¡±
After saying this, the wounded soldier sighed and cried.
What moved Li Guoyao even more was that he even saw two beggars carrying porridge cans take out a handful of copper coins from their bodies, and said to the staff with a look of shame: "We brothers have been begging for three days, and we only have these 2 cents." 9 points, I just didn¡¯t get 30 cents, so please accept it. Begging for food is already inferior to others, and if you continue to be a slave to the subjugation of the country, you will probably have to go underground."
To be honest, Li Guoyao was moved at that moment and he also shed tears!
On that day, Li Guoyao not only donated all the cash he had, but also asked someone to send 20,000 yuan to the people in the Third Office of the Political Department who organized the fund-raising event, as a token of his gratitude.
Although this money was just a drop in the bucket in terms of the staggering war expenditures, it allowed Li Guoyao to see the determination of the Chinese people to fight the national crisis together.
A country or a nation is easiest to mobilize and arouse when it is oppressed by foreign enemies until the last moment.
The enthusiasm for donating money and the touching scene in Wuhan are something the National Government has not seen in many years.
The amount of money is not important. What is important is that it is awakening a sleeping nation, an awakening lion covered with scars.
Li Guoyao doesn¡¯t know what others think, but he knows that the battle in Wuhan must be fought no matter what. Otherwise, we will really make our fellow villagers sad.
After the meeting, Li Guoyao originally planned to go back early to assign tasks and rush to his defense area, but he did not expect that Zhang Fakui asked him to stay by name.
After everyone dispersed, Zhang Fakui took Li Guoyao to his office and personally made him a cup of tea.
Then Zhang Fakui said solemnly: "There are no outsiders here, so I asked you to give me a serious shout, brother, and keep you today. The main reason is that Xue Boling sent me a telegram saying that Jiujiang City is not easy to defend. If I am really not sure, I can Let¡¯s discuss it with Brother Su Yan. According to Xue Boling, Brother Su Yan is quite accomplished in defensive warfare!¡±
Although Zhang Fakui kept his posture very low, Li Guoyao did not dare to be proud. He knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, and he was definitely not comparable to Gui Yongqing and Huang Jie.
According to Li Guoyao¡¯s knowledge, although Commander Zhang was born into a peasant family, his life was magnificent and legendary.
Zhang Fakui is a Cantonese, born in 1896. He has been disobedient to the old society since he was a child and does not like restraint.
When he was in elementary school, the school leaders were greedy for money and deprived his classmates of food. He was so angry that he and his classmates launched a "riot" and rushed into the school kitchen and smashed all the pots and pans. Later, he insisted on entering the military academy and performed well during the period. As soon as he graduated, he returned to the Guangdong Army and started as a platoon leader.
In 1921, Mr. Sun took office as the Extraordinary President in Guangzhou. In order to protect his safety, the Guangdong Army formed a guard regiment to protect him closely. The commander of the guard regiment at that time is not well-known now, but the three battalion commanders below him will all be famous generals in the future.
Who are these three battalion commanders? It¡¯s scary to tell them. The first battalion commander is Xue Yue, the second battalion commander is Ye Ting, and the third battalion commander is Zhang Fakui.
Of course, at that time, the three people were all unknown young people, but soon history pushed them to the center of the stage of the times.
In June 1922, Chen Jiongming launched a mutiny in Guangzhou. Zhang Fakui led his troops to fight fiercely with the rebels in Wengyuan, known as the gateway to northern and southern Guangdong.
Because of Zhang Fakui's heroic resistance, Chen Jiongming became interested in talents and sent Weng Shiliang, the principal of Guangzhou Army Primary School where Zhang had studied, as a lobbyist in an attempt to win over this future warrior.
Although Zhang Fakui was isolated and helpless at the time, and the future of the revolution led by Mr. Sun was uncertain, he still rejected his mentor's invitation.
In order to preserve the revolutionary power, he simply led his troops to retreat to Shixing Immortal Cave and became the "King of the Mountain". It was not until Liang Hongkai, the commander of the First Division of the Guangdong Army, invited him to come with him to expel Chen Jiongming that Zhang Fakui came out again.
Later, Sun Yat-sen returned to Guangzhou, and Zhang Fakui was promoted to regimental commander due to his accumulated military exploits. After that, he rose to prominence all the way, and now he is the commander of the General Corps.
What is even more legendary is that after the founding of New China, eight of the ten marshals were awarded the title of marshal, and this is the only one in the country that has served under Zhang Fakui.
How could Li Guoyao dare to stand up to such a powerful person, so he couldn't help but think carefully about how to answer Zhang Fakui's words! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
