1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Pan Wenyu took a deep breath, feeling nervous and helpless, and could only warn with a somewhat strong exterior but weak heart:

"You can't enter the city because of the Northeast Army blocking the way.

Although the Northeast Army didn't dare to attack the "Northeast Army", they could still close the city gates and prevent the enemy from entering, or even engage in a confrontation. This should be possible, right?

No, no, no, it can definitely be done. After all, Zhang Xueliang is personally watching over them. Those ruffians shouldn't dare to act rashly, at least not to rebel.

"Sir, it doesn't matter whether we can enter the city or not. What matters is that we are here, and that is enough.

After saying this, Wu Kehua no longer paid any attention to Pan Wenyu. Instead, he adjusted his wide-brimmed hat, hung up his sword, and after the messenger signaled, he waved his hand and roared:

"All troops! 'Iron Torrent'! Set off!

Several trucks carrying military musicians passed the front of the team and slowly moved forward. The entire army was lined up in a long snake formation with four people in a row, and they were in the back under the leadership of Wu Kehua.

It started with a burst of dense snare drum beats, and then the bass tuba, violin, brass instruments and cymbals soon followed to form a symphony.

Just hearing this opening, Pan Wenyu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, as if an inexplicable force was rushing from his tailbone all the way to the top of his head!

What a majestic music!

Even more majestic and powerful was the sound of more than 2,000 tall and strong men singing their new military song in a deep and resolute voice:

"Forward! Our blood is full of vigor! Our sharp edge will shock the tigers and wolves!

"Forward! Our steps are resounding! In the wind and rain, I hold my chest high!"

"Moving forward! Our blood is boiling! We shoulder the responsibility of our mission!

"Forward! The iron torrent rolls forward! Riding the wind and waves, its might shakes all directions, unstoppable!"

"We light up the dawn of peace and safeguard the well-being of the people..."

Just like when they sang that military song in Shanhaiguan, the originally noisy Tongzhou Avenue suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

This new military song is different from all the military songs of the Chinese army. The difference lies not only in the lyrics, but also in the melody which is completely different from that of this era.

Whether it is the two songs in the late Qing Dynasty, "Chinese Men" and "Military Song", which are mainly based on inspiring people, awakening the people and consolidating national consciousness;

Or the Beiyang Fleet Song, whose lyrics and music are so obscure that ordinary people have no idea what it means, or "Ode to the Dragon Flag," which is full of praise for the Qing rulers;

Or the Beiyang Army song, "Of the Three Kingdoms generals, Zhao Zilong is the most valiant, he showed his heroism at Changban Slope," or the Northern Expedition Army song, "Two tigers... ahem... Down with the foreign powers, down with the foreign powers, get rid of the warlords, get rid of the warlords."

Even the revolutionary-flavored "Whampoa Military Academy Song" and "Three Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention," as well as later songs based on national defense and even the last stand, which even had a touch of tragic grandeur, lacked something that a military spirit should have compared to this song:

Distinctly offensive and aggressive.

This song "Steel Torrent" is full of confidence and composure, with a sense of dominance that "the heroes of the world are not worth mentioning, even the great powers are nothing but chickens and pottery dogs"!

Everyone stared at the mighty army slowly marching towards them with eyes of astonishment, envy, fanaticism, or fear.

The overwhelming aura of "invincibility" was so overwhelming that tens of thousands of Northeastern troops and even more civilians dared not even raise their heads or look at them!

A strong army! This is a strong army!

man!

This is what a man is!

Zhang Xueliang, completely overwhelmed by the heroic spirit he had never seen before, turned pale.

In the past, he had only heard from war reports that the Northeastern army was very capable, and he thought it was just better equipped and had more planes and artillery.

Now that he had faced them head-on, he realized that not only were they better equipped, but their army, from military might to military discipline to weaponry, had already crushed his Northeast Army in every aspect!

At least, his Northeast Army would never shout the slogan "We would rather freeze to death than demolish houses, and we would rather starve to death than plunder"!

Didn't Dong Zhou say that the puppet army would have difficulty forming a strong fighting force due to its class conflicts?!

Why is this army an exception?!

Wu Peifu and other older people who were also watching in the crowd were all shocked with their mouths wide open.

In this life, I have fought against the Qing army, the old Russian army, the Japanese, the Beiyang army, the national army, the Northwest army, and the Northern Expedition army...

I've fought so many armies, but I've never encountered one like this!

Back when I commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, held a commanding position in Luoyang, and even appeared in the American "Time Magazine," no other army under my command had such a military presence or such a might!

Also, "light up the dawn of peace"? "protect the well-being of the people"?

Is this the slogan an army should shout?

The army is just a tool for fighting and killing. What are you talking about "peace" and "well-being"? It's really laughable!

They wouldn't take "Yue Family Army" or anything like that seriously, would they?

Regardless of whether they understood it or not, the army was already marching closer and closer in neat marching steps, and their momentum was growing stronger and stronger;

When they came before them, some people knelt down in fear.

go!

Led by these people, the crowd also knelt down!

Wu Kehua, who had not looked away from the Northeast Army soldiers on both sides of the road, armed with live ammunition and ready to attack him at any time, raised his fist and ordered the entire army to stop. He then walked to the side, helped an old woman up, and said with a smile:

"Old man, we are the people's army. The people's army can only let the people step on its shoulders, not make the people kneel down."

"Ah... what the general said is true, what the general said is true..."

The old woman had no idea what Wu Kehua was saying, so she could only say yes in fear. Wu Kehua had no choice but to help several more people up and shouted:

"Everyone, stand up! Don't kneel! Company instructors! Help the common people up!

Soon, some grassroots officers came out of the team, ran to the roadside and forcibly helped the civilians up one by one, then returned to the team and continued to move forward.

This is something that many ordinary people cannot understand.

When a king's army passes by or a powerful army sets out, ordinary people kneel to greet them. Isn't this common sense?

Why don't they make us kneel?

But, what's going on with this warm feeling in my heart?

While other more educated and cultured people were shouting in their hearts:

Master Wang!

This is the real king master!

The royal teacher who was written in history books but never seen in person!

Especially when the song "Young Men Joining the Army" was sung and some "kind-hearted people" began to actively explain to the people what it meant to "not demolish houses even if they freeze to death, not plunder even if they starve to death, speak kindly, and do things fairly."

The "Wang Shi" troops were like a red-hot knife cutting into butter. Wherever they went, both the common people and the Northeast Army made way to the sides.

resistance?

Completely non-existent.

In this way, Zhang Xueliang, who was hiding at the back, saw with a grim face that Wu Kehua led a large group of people singing military songs, easily passed the army's obstruction and the people's waiting and watching, and came all the way to him to salute:

"Hello, Commander Zhang! I am Wu Kehua, commander of the 1st Battalion, 715th Regiment, 358th Brigade, 129th Division of the Five-Star Eastern Republic Army! Based on the results of the Peking referendum, my unit has been ordered to peacefully take over Peking! Please cooperate with us!"

486 What is crushing?

..Please cooperate with our work!

Peace? I want peace with you!

Arrogant! So damn arrogant!

A mere "battalion commander" actually came to me, the Vice-Chief of the Republic of China's Army, Navy, and Air Force... Oh, he'd already resigned... Anyway, he actually dared to come to me, the leader of the Northeast Army, and demand that I hand over Peking, which I ruled!

You are really not afraid of death!

Even though his chest was about to explode with rage, Zhang Xueliang still did not dare to jump up and down. He knew in his heart that the enemy might really not be afraid of death, and the enemy's superiors might even be expecting the Northeast Army to take the initiative to open fire;

Once the two sides started fighting, regardless of whether all the members of this obviously tough army would be killed in the battle, the North would at least have a sufficient reason to move south.

By then, will the "demilitarized" Great Wall, which is now defenseless, be able to stop them, or will the Northeast Army, whose morale has clearly been broken, be willing to fight to the death?

Obviously, none of them are reliable.

In this case, the only way is what Pan Wenyu said - "The other party is here to provoke us, we cannot give them this opportunity, we must respond with non-military means."

In short, make sense.

Warlords, like American imperialism, will be unreasonable wherever they can be. If they do show some reason, it is only because they are forced to do so.

Therefore, Zhang Xueliang could only try to "explain" with great frustration:

"General Wu... Captain Wu, the referendum result cannot be counted because the number of voters did not meet the legal quorum..."

Under multiple attacks, facing this formidable army, Zhang Xueliang almost called a young enemy battalion commander in his early twenties "General".

Well... considering that Wu Kehua was a lieutenant general in history, it's not too far off.

中

Shout, you damn warlord, he’s really good at quibbling.

As a Red Army soldier, Wu Kehua had no good feelings towards Zhang Xueliang, a rubbish warlord who was later praised to the skies by some on the internet.

Putting aside class stance, Wu Kehua could not stand the national stance alone - if it weren't for this idiot who ordered the Northeast Army to abandon the Northeast without firing a shot, how could the Japanese have won so easily!

The frustrating order of "Let everyone hold on until they die" has already spread across the country!

Now, Japan has a unique figure, Fujiwara no Kanezane, who has implemented benevolent policies in Northeast China and won the hearts of the people. I wonder how much our party and army will have to pay in the future to take Northeast China back!

Who knows, when the Red Army marches north to conquer the old people one day, they may encounter desperate resistance from these puppet troops and the common people of Northeast China!

Not everyone is like Wu Kehua, who can successfully infiltrate the puppet army and even become a battalion commander!

ε=('o'*))) Oh, I hope the Party Central Committee will come up with a good solution..

Wu Kehua was contemptuous in his heart, but pretended to be surprised on the surface: "Ah? Is that so? No one told me!

Can your acting be any stiffer?!

"Well, now that we're here, we can't just turn around and go back. I'll ask my superiors what to do.

Wu Kehua pretended to have someone send a telegram back, and soon received "instructions":

"Since the referendum committee has already stipulated this, our army must comply..."

Before Zhang Xueliang could smile, he heard Wu Kehua say:

“However, since our army has already won the support of the vast majority of the people in the first referendum, it is naturally qualified to be stationed in Peking, which is just right for supervising the next Peking referendum.

Why???

Won't leave!!!

This group of people actually intends to stay in Peking!!!

Zhang Xueliang was shocked, angry and confused.

Earlier, after learning that Shanhaiguan had been "broken", he discussed countermeasures with his staff overnight and discussed the many purposes of Wu Kehua's troops taking such a risk;

They even considered possibilities like "starting a war" and "suppressing demonstrations," but they never considered that they actually planned to stay in Beijing for a long time!

No, what are they planning?

What good does this do them?

Only two thousand men, deep in enemy territory, without heavy weapons, and relying on Peking for supplies, if war breaks out again, these men will surely be the first to die!

Is there something wrong with Fujiwara Kanezane's brain?

Did he personally hand over two thousand "hostages" to Zhang Xueliang?

Without these two thousand men, the North would definitely go south whenever it wanted, but with these two thousand men, they would be more cautious no matter what, right?

By then, will war still be easy to start?

Fujiwara no Kanezane wouldn't expect to "bloom in the center" in Peking with just 2,000 men, right?

Or does he simply not care about the lives of these two thousand people?

Although he had no idea what Fujiwara no Kanezane was trying to do, and although he vaguely felt that this would be beneficial to him, Zhang Xueliang still tried hard to refuse out of a warlord's vigilance and instinct to protect his territory:

"Captain Wu, this doesn't make sense, does it?

"Why is it unreasonable? I just said that since so many people support us, we are qualified to settle here.

"Beiping is..."
