The train continued to move forward until the train changed lanes from Jinan and passed another station. When the train was adding water and coal, an envelope was stuffed into each carriage. ingee
"The Huaihai Economic Envoy told the Jiangsu Army officers and soldiers:
Although the Jiangsu Army is the army of Jiangsu, it is our army of China. Defending the country and guarding the border is actually the responsibility of the Jiangsu Army. The lieutenants and officers in the army have a close friendship and love for each other. They are willing to ask for orders to guard the border. Husbands and wives do not kill each other and fight for the same country without justice.
, is an iron case for the ages. When my ancestor Xuanyuan made his army, it was originally for external use. He drove out the Miao barbarians from the north and the Miao barbarians from the south. There was this clean land in the Central Plains. He defeated the Di and Qiang in the north and controlled the Di and Qiang in the west.
, competing with the Xiongnu, Turks, Jin, Yuan, Manchu, and Ng for the Middle Kingdom is nothing more than lending me a hand to consolidate my territory.
Fill the country with farmland, be rich in virtue and guard the border, the world is righteous, and guard the four barbarians. Today, our Jiangsu Army has asked itself to be the target of foreign aggression. Anyone who belongs to the robe will not increase his forehead with his hands. There will be three hundred in the army, and the border defense will be supported. Northwest
No worries, the country will be safe.
Now the Germans are trapped in Europe, and they have returned Jiao'ao to our country. However, the Japanese have forced me to reject the Germans. Jiao'ao is our my country's Jiao'ao. If we let the Japanese bully us and allow Japan and Germany to fight on our soil, How can the citizens of China look directly at me if we harm our people?
At the beginning of the founding of the Republic, our people have failed at the hands of our soldiers, and our soldiers have more hatred towards the country. Our conscience has not been lost, and our heroic spirit still exists. All actions of our soldiers should be aimed at foreign affairs and based on public opinion. Only when our soldiers have an awakened heart
, especially our soldiers have discernment.
Although we in Jiangsu obey orders and support the central government, I would like to ask, does this refusal to restore the territory come from the true intention of the head of state? Even if the order comes from the head of state, is it based on true public opinion. Is it a rule? Is it a destiny? Anyone with a little common sense can tell the difference.
.
Our Jiangsu Army has always encouraged itself to be loyal to the country and vigorously defend the country's laws. The officers and men in the army are more loyal and sensible people.
All the citizens of our country are indignant. At this time, if we want to maintain the national integrity, we can only maintain the enthusiasm of joining forces to fight against the outside world. People are even more excited after hearing the news... The whole country belongs to one family, how can there be boundaries between the central and local areas? Although the Jiangsu Army is Jiangsu,
But we are one of the same people, we have the same hatred against foreign countries, and we are suspected of having a grudge? At this time when the country is in great use, I, the Jiangsu Army, volunteered to take over Jiao'ao. After the country was restored, my compatriots worshiped it and admired it with great admiration.
...I hope all the officers and men in the army will carry forward the spirit of the army and swear to defend the country and defend the country to the death. If Jiao'ao is still alive, Jiao'ao will not be protected for one day. The Jiangsu Army will vow not to return home for one day.
The Huaihai Economic Envoy informs all the officers and men of the Jiangsu Army."
"Recover Jiao'ao"
After reading the message to all the soldiers in the army, Zhao Yuan was also stunned. Didn't he go to nggu?
"Recover Jiao'ao"
Hu Erhu, who was standing there with his gun in his hand, glanced at Yu Tao beside him. In the darkness, he couldn't see anyone's expression at all.
"Going to fight the Germans?"
"You didn't listen. The Germans want to return Jiao'ao to us, but the Japanese don't allow us to take it back..."
"Oriental little nose, Jiao'ao belongs to China, how do they rely on that?"
"Don't the Japanese devils just want to swallow up Jiao'ao?"
"His uncle, isn't he riding on our necks to shit?"
"No, our Jiangsu Army is also very Chinese."
"It's just that the land is occupied by others, and we, as soldiers, will lose our status."
"That is, from now on, as long as we men wear this military uniform, we can still hold our heads high and be human beings."
"Fight"
The officers and soldiers who were talking to each other in the carriage started arguing, and each one of them had an expression of indignation. This may be the biggest difference between the Jiangsu Army and other armies. One year after the Jiangsu Army was reorganized, the army was removed and they were given a home.
In addition, the more important point is to use one year to tell them what a country is, what a nation is, what a soldier is, what is the responsibility of a soldier, and what is the meaning of life and death.
"I said Captain Zhao, we are going to fight the Japanese this time."
The voice of Company Commander Liang Mu came from the darkness. Listening to his words, Zhao Yuan knew what he meant.
"Isn't that right? We have been waiting for today. In the past, our Jiangsu Army fought a lot of civil wars. Today we are going to fight a grand national war. One is to atone for our sins, and the other is to uphold the ambitions of our people."
"That's right, sir, in this battle, we have to show our ambition."
Although, it is a kind of longing for home, a yearning for family, and a subconscious desire to survive.
"Brothers, a war is about to begin. Do you miss home?"
"No".
Cheers burst out from the soldiers' throats.
"I just want to think about it. Grandson Gui doesn't miss home, so do I."
Zhao Yuan roared, and what he said was heartbreaking.
Everyone was speechless, then he spoke again.
"It's really open. If we take a step back because we are homesick, the Japanese will occupy Jiao'ao today, and tomorrow they will attack Jiangsu, Anhui, and our home country, country, country will be gone, and
Home?".
Then he said boldly.
"Brothers, this battle we are fighting is a national war, a battle to protect the country. If I live, the country will perish, if I die, the country will survive..."
"Sir, please rest assured. We will never become a pustule. Even if we die, we will never take a step back."
"My birth country
I will die and the country will survive”
The troop transport train made a clanging noise and moved at full speed in the direction of Qingdao. In the carriage, loud roars burst out from the soldiers' throats and echoed in the carriage. They used the words over and over again.
The roar expresses his determination.
Qingdao Railway Station, this station built fourteen years ago, with pure German Renaissance style, is located on the axis of Prince Henry Road and Hohenzolen Road, one port, one city, all the way this is Qingdao.
Qingdao Station is the artery of the city of Qingdao.
At 4 o'clock in the morning on September 24, it was still dark, but on the platform of Qingdao Railway Station, a dozen German officers and soldiers and several authorized Chinese and foreign journalists were waiting for the train to enter the station.
"beep……"
Accompanied by the whistle of the train, the headlights of the train came closer and closer. Listening to the whistle, Li Zhengyang quickly picked up the 120 camera and pressed it on the approaching train. He was a reporter from Jiaoao Daily.
An hour ago, he was woken up from home by someone who said there was big news at the train station. Then he followed the person to the train station. At first, he thought it was some big news. Could it be that the Governor had left Jiaoao?
But then, he met the secretary of the Huaihai Economic Envoy at the train station. From his words, he learned that the Huaihai Economic Envoy had reached an agreement with the Germans. The Germans gave up all their rights and interests in Shandong and at the same time transferred Jiaoao to
It was returned to China, and the Huaihai Economic and Strategic Envoy was responsible for taking over Jiao'ao.
Qingdao returned to China
When he received the news, Li Zhengyang was in an unprecedented state of ecstasy. In his memory, it seemed that China had always only had to cede land and pay compensation. Only the great powers took away land from China. When did the great powers seize land from China?
Return the land.
Although there was news before that Germany would return Qingdao unconditionally, Japan's actions made the central government hesitate. But now, just over ten hours later, Jiaoao has been returned to China.
"Flag"
He raised his head and looked at the Chinese flag hanging at the station. Qin Lijun from the Railway Management Department had a smile on his face. Wearing a railway uniform, he had already taken off the road emblem of Jiaoao Railway Company. He knew earlier than others that Jiaoao was now China.
It’s Jiaoao, because four hours ago, Germany had handed over Jiaoao to the receiving committee, and now, the train that is about to enter the station is the squadron that is about to enter Qingdao.
He cast his gaze towards the flagpole of the main building of the station. Four hours ago, every government or military agency in Jiaoao held a flag-lowering ceremony. However, to receive the flag-raising ceremony in Qingdao, they had to wait for the Jiangsu Army to receive Jiaoao.
Only after arriving can the national flag be raised.
The train pulled into the station. Sitting on the train, Han Wu, dressed in a black military uniform, stood up and checked his appearance for the last time in the mirror on the compartment wall. The cotton-silk military uniform was straight and without a trace of wrinkles.
The black military boots were shiny, not only that, but even the copper buckles and nickel-plated armed belt loops had been carefully wiped by the orderlies, and the black leather gun holsters had even been coated with a layer of wax.
When the train stopped, the German military band on the platform immediately played "Kaiser Wilhelm's Drill Song". This song has been popular in China and China for more than ten years.
"Song" is a military song. When the car was opened, listening to the tune of "The Commander's Military Training Song" coming from outside the carriage, Han Wu raised his horn, and Li Zhengyang, who had been waiting aside, immediately pressed it and took the photo.
Such a photo of Chinese people walking on the land of Qiaozhou.
When Han Wu got out of the car, he and the officers and staff of the Third Division who got off the car after him were wearing uniforms that were different from those of the Northern Army and the Southern Army, but much more energetic, which only made everyone's eyes brighten, even
The Germans present also expressed surprise and envy.
"Your Excellency General, welcome to your arrival"
Major Silk, who had been waiting on the platform for a long time, first gave the military salute.
Although Qingdao has been returned to China, perhaps out of contempt for the squadron or German arrogance, the Governor-General only sent a major to be responsible for the reception of the two armies. Even this major voluntarily stayed in Qingdao to assist the squadron in controlling Qingdao.
Officer of the fortress.
"Major Silk"
Han Wu gave a military salute, and the smile disappeared, leaving only the seriousness of a soldier.
The military reception ceremony is very quick. It only involves raising and lowering the flag. The real reception will actually take place in various fortresses and military camps around Qingdao. That is the top priority. Han Wu does not attach much importance to the handover ceremony at the train station.
This is just a formality.
"General Han, if the Japanese attack Jiao'ao, are you sure you can defend Jiao'ao?"
Just when Han Wu was about to follow Major Silk to the Governor's Palace, Li Muyang, who was holding a notebook, suddenly asked.
To be continued...
