Chapter 90: Talking nonsense
Before Zhou Xiaoshan left, he specially compiled a document, which included the time when the college students of the 66th Division joined the army, their current positions, and the complex salary system of the military.
Give it to these students to circulate.
"Sichuan is different from Beijing. Prices and living standards are low there. Yongzhou is even lower. With one dollar a month, students at the local normal school can already live a good life."
"Commander Zhou, you are poor, right?"
Zhou Xiaoshan spoke very sincerely, and his feeling was completely different from the few officers who had gone to see them in the first place.
According to those officers, once you arrive at the 66th Division, you will be treated like a treasure, held in the palm of your hand for fear of dropping it, and held in your mouth for fear of melting it.
"Yongzhou is poor. Our division commander once said that sending talented college students like you to the battlefield is a loss to the country and the nation. But don't you realize that the current situation is turbulent and Beijing is so big that it is no longer possible to place a quiet desk there?"
In Zhou Xiaoshan's eyes, these college students were more like younger brothers in the family. When the wave of national crisis came, they were somewhat panicked.
Zhang Zhenhua said that they could no longer return home and had lost contact with their family. Even though their family had arrived in Peiping, they were in great distress and had no source of income. They were able to hold on until now thanks to the support of many people.
Zhou Xiaoshan's words imitating the December 9th Movement Manifesto immediately caused a lot of sighs.
College students of this generation are still very good at thinking, and this sentence has a great impact on them.
"If you want to continue your studies, our 66th Division is willing to support you to study at Sichuan University or Chongqing University. Yongzhou also has a normal school, and you can go there as well. Even if our soldiers wear homespun uniforms and walk in straw sandals, we will ensure that you have enough food and clothing."
"Although we are wearing cloth shoes now, when the 66th Division was training, everyone wore straw sandals."
Zheng Chunhua has finished his supplement.
More than 20 students were all very moved. The leader, Qi Jun, called his younger classmates, stood up and bowed to Zhou Xiaoshan. In response, the soldiers of the special forces battalion saluted in unison.
"Commander Zhou, I have figured it out. I used to be very afraid of the battlefield. Thank you for reminding me today. The Chinese nation has reached a point where there is no room for retreat. Tomorrow, I will join the 29th Army."
Zhou Xiaoshan shook his head regretfully.
"The reason we came to Peking to recruit soldiers is to stop you from joining the 29th Army."
"Commander Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. At this time of national crisis, I am willing to sacrifice for the country. "
"Anyway, we have time tonight. Why don't you just listen to what I have to say before making a decision?"
These words were spoken sincerely, and Qi Jun also realized that he was getting anxious, and a group of classmates all laughed.
"Japan is across the sea from China. Many of our students went to study in Japan. After returning, they came to two completely different opinions. The majority of them believed that China would lose because they saw with their own eyes an industrialized country with countless weapons, equipment, and resources continuously produced from factories. Their army was well-trained and their national strength was strong. But there was one person who was different. He graduated from the third graduating class of the Infantry Department of the Japanese Army Academy and easily won the championship. He took away the Japanese Emperor's sword representing the first place in front of all the Japanese graduates."
"You are talking about Mr. Jiang Baili?"
"Mr. Jiang Baili never had the opportunity to lead troops in person after returning to China, but his level is enough to become the master of all our military generals."
"From what I know, both Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui are from the Sichuan Army Quick Training School, while Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou are from the Baoding School. Why do you praise Mr. Jiang Baili so much?"
Zhou Xiaoshan almost rolled his eyes. He never thought that Qi Jun was different from ordinary students. He might have wanted to join the army for a long time but had not made a decision.
I can't tell you that I also admire Mr. Chiang Bai-ri's son-in-law Qian Xuesen and his nephew Jin Yong.
"Mr. Chiang said that China and Japan will have a war sooner or later. If a full-scale war breaks out, most of China will fall. According to our analysis, the outbreak of a full-scale war should be when Pingjin falls. After all, this place was once the ancient capital of many dynasties. In the hearts of the people, it is incomparable with the three northeastern provinces. Even the chairman of Nanjing cannot remain indifferent."
"That makes sense. I have dedicated my life to Xuanyuan, so I should join the 29th Army."
Zhou Xiaoshan spent a whole night, following Mr. Chiang Bai-ri's theory, and unfolded a heroic picture of the Sino-Japanese War for the twenty students on a blackboard.
Qi Jun and the others listened eagerly, and they finally understood that different fields have different worlds.
If you want to fight the Japanese, you have to practice hard and acquire all your skills.
When I joined the 29th Army, that is, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the military deployment had already fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and all the battles were fought passively.
I was so frustrated that I couldn't find a chance to die together with the Japanese.
Taking a step back and leading troops in Sichuan for three years and practicing hard to improve your skills would have been different.
He could follow the Sichuan Army out of Sichuan to kill the enemy, sacrificing every inch of land and blood, or he could go deep behind enemy lines and lead troops to attack the Japanese transportation lines and traitors who surrendered to the enemy, making the Japanese's dream of emulating the Qing Dynasty and ruling the Central Plains a pipe dream.
Only by saving yourself can you destroy the enemy.
This nation has suffered so much from disaster that there is only one college student among every ten thousand people. The 29th Army has no shortage of such cannon fodder.
If you follow the Sichuan Army out of Sichuan, you may kill more devils. Maybe you can survive a hundred battles and witness the day of victory in the counterattack against Japan with your own eyes.
Zheng Chunhua and Chang Desheng were both stunned.
The national united front was formed, the Red Army participated in the reorganization, and various warlords joined hands to kill the enemy. Is this possible?
The Kuomintang killed so many of its own people.
Yes, Chang Desheng and Su Mian were better off. From the people in Pingjin, he had subconsciously understood that the country’s current main contradiction was not exploitation, but the war against Japan and the survival of the nation.
The Red Army will definitely take action in response to current events.
The other "relatives" of Zheng Chunhua were in a miserable state. Their heads were buzzing, as if they had attended a heavy lesson.
It was not until Qi Jun was persuaded by Zhou Xiaoshan that all twenty of them were willing to join the 66th Division of the Sichuan Army.
Ever since Feng Tiankui learned that the twenty students went to the special forces camp, he had been waiting for a telegram at the headquarters. He asked Qin Lie to report the results every half an hour. As soon as Qi Jun made a decision, he immediately sent a welcome telegram.
Twenty students burst into tears of gratitude.
Zheng Chunhua and others suddenly realized that when it came to talking nonsense, Zhou Xiaoshan was invincible. He could always find a lot of evidence to support his theories and even make bold guesses.
Qi Jun is a student with insight, strong opinions and determination. If it weren't for the eloquent Zhou Xiaoshan, it would be a pipe dream for others to convince this guy overnight.
This kid also represents Feng Tiankui, and he has gained a great general and many talents.
When these students learned that Zhou Xiaoshan was younger they were surprised that he could only swallow an egg.
I didn't go back that night.
Each person received two sets of clothes, grabbed a gun, and slept in the tent holding a brand new German Mauser rifle.
Anyway, Zhou Xiaoshan seized the weapons of Yan Xishan's submachine gun company and the security brigade, replaced the equipment of his own assault troops, and also stole the ammunition carried by the guards, some of which were guns.
