I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 387

The "exploration" carefully planned by Molotov is actually a secret casting of the pearl, and it has no practical effect at all.

The Chinese side's hole cards are actually uncertain and changing. Molotov couldn't find out anything, but instead caused the Soviet side to fall into a misjudgment of self-confidence that they thought they had pinched the opponent's deathbed.

After the outbreak of the German-Soviet War and even the entire Second World War, it was hard for Jiang Weiguo not to be busy. He was busy reorganizing the army, supervising production, and formulating war plans. He did not hope that the Chinese army participating in the Soviet War would follow suit. Like the Japanese or the Italians: After the July [-]th Incident broke out, the Japanese launched a war of aggression against China in a hurry, but they did not formulate a detailed and comprehensive war plan. They were shrewd and cunning in tactics, but blind in strategy Riding a blind horse, "fighting wars purely for the sake of fighting"; after Germany started the world war, Italy followed suit, and it took a long time before Mussolini found out that the marshals and generals under his command They didn't even have a war plan.

In addition, Jiang Weiguo planned a major event in June: a military parade.

To blackmail or blackmail the Soviet Union, it is not enough to rely on words alone, and it is necessary to "show muscles" appropriately.

The Nanjing Army Headquarters originally planned to hold a large-scale military exercise in Beihai Province on the border between China and the Soviet Union, so as to show the strength of the Chinese army to the Soviet Union, but after careful consideration, the exercise plan was abolished for a simple reason: wasting ammunition.

Since it is a military exercise, live ammunition must be used. The Chinese army is short of ammunition. Instead of wasting ammunition for military exercises, it is better to use ammunition in actual combat. If live ammunition is not used, the military exercise is basically a cross-country training. What's the point of not letting go of the gun?It would be more intuitive to hold a grand military parade, which would not consume ammunition but also show today's Chinese army to the maximum extent.

There must be a proper reason for the military parade. It must not be possible on National Day, nor on the anniversary of the 1940 Revolution. The most ingenious thing about commemorating the third anniversary of the July 7th Incident is that Jiang Weiguo's headquarters at this time was in Beiping, and the July 7th Incident broke out in Beiping.

Regarding the military parade commemorating the third anniversary of the July [-]th Incident, a small number of Nanjing Army generals and many high-level officials in Wuhan raised objections on the grounds that "China and Japan are already allies, and the military parade held on the July [-]th Incident is time-sensitive. It will inevitably lead to unnecessary misunderstandings on the Japanese side, and secondly, it will also damage the friendship between China and Japan.” To this, Jiang Weiguo replied:

"Bullshit doesn't make sense! The September [-]th Incident is our national humiliation, and the July [-]th Incident is our national commemoration. They are all days of great significance to us. We Chinese commemorate our own important days. It's none of the Japanese business? What do Japanese people love? I think it’s their business, what are you worrying about? The Japanese have some misunderstandings, we will give an explanation, they will believe it if they like it, if they don’t believe it, it’s none of our business! The Japanese want to believe it, so it’s natural to believe it, if they don’t want to believe it at all , even if we do what is right and proper, they will pick the bones! In order not to misunderstand the Japanese and not to hurt the friendship between China and Japan, so we have to deliberately forget that the Japanese invaded us? Have this idea? People touch their crotch, is there any balls in it? If you want to lose face, go home and throw it away, don’t lose the face of the whole country! We have the right to do what we want, and what the Chinese do depends on the face of the Japanese ?Is China a slave country of Japan? Do you still have any backbone? As for friendship, I’m not sure. Is friendship obtained by being pleasing to the eye and fawning on you? Will take the initiative to post it to be friends with you! The stronger we are, the more the Japanese want to be friends with us! In the past, we were bullied by the Japanese in every possible way. Have you become friends? Why do the Japanese regard us as friends now? Because we are strong! We have convinced them! The so-called friendship between us and the Japanese is not based on our deliberate flattery, but on our own Strength! We use the military parade to show our strength, not only will it not hurt the so-called Sino-Japanese friendship, but it will also strengthen the so-called Sino-Japanese friendship! Do you understand?"

Faced with Jiang Weiguo's righteous and eloquent rebuttal, those who did not support holding the military parade were speechless.

The time for the military parade was set on July 7, and the location was naturally set in Beiping.

It stands to reason that the grand military parade should be held in Nanjing, the capital of the country, or in Wuhan, the accompanying capital. Jiang Weiguo placed the location of the grand military parade in his own base camp, which is unavoidably suspected of usurping the host and taking the lead. But he has good reasons. Military parades are very meaningful.

Chiang Kai-shek considered it again and again, and approved Jiang Weiguo's proposal. Anyway, the troops participating in the military parade were Jiang Weiguo's Nanjing Army, and the cost of holding the military parade was also paid by Jiang Weiguo.

For these "wonderful ideas" of Jiang Weiguo, Chiang Kai-shek still appreciates and supports them.

Throughout June, Jiang Weiguo was busy organizing, planning, and making arrangements for this "Peking Military Parade to Commemorate the Third Anniversary of the July [-]th Incident". "Muscle" is also of great significance. Beating the Japanese indirectly, let the Japanese know that the Chinese army is strong, so as to cut off the Japanese's thoughts of betraying China behind their backs and trying to attack China again, and secondly, let the Japanese know that the Chinese army It is very strong, so Japan's "mixing" with China and Germany is a "golden road with a bright future", thus luring the Japanese to take the road of "pro-China and Lianhua" with all their heart.

After more than a month of busy work, the Beiping Military Parade was officially held on July 7th. In the past month or so, we were mainly busy with five major events, including expanding and reorganizing the square, organizing the masses, preparing props and facilities, and training those who participated in the military parade. Troops, security arrangements, especially the last point, are the most important.

For such a grand event, it is obviously impossible for a "big man" like Jiang Weiguo not to attend, but he is an extremely flamboyant tree, and all kinds of people at home and abroad want to take his life, which leads to his security. The job just got trickier.

In order to do this well, the Bureau of Maritime Statistics had to resort to various methods. After all, Jiang Weiguo was too important. Once there was a mistake, the consequences would be disastrous.

On this day, the ancient city of Beiping became the world's second-largest focus after Kiev. The whole city was in a festive atmosphere a few days before the military parade. The 180 million residents of the city were all elated and elated. , and a large number of people from all over the country (basically from Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Shanxi and other places around Beiping, because of the short distance.

Although Tianjin was a Japanese-occupied area at this time, China and Japan have "turned enemies into friends", so the Japanese side allowed Tianjin residents to enter and leave Tianjin freely) The people who came to watch the military parade made Beiping City overcrowded and beaming.

People in the whole city rushed to tell each other, talking and laughing happily.

According to the plan announced by the Nanjing Army, the military parade will mainly be concentrated in two places, one is Wanping City, and the other is Tiananmen Square in the center of Beiping City. Tiananmen Square, under inspection.

Beiping in July was already on fire in July, and the upcoming military parade made the atmosphere in Peiping as hot as the mood of the people in Peking.

In the early hours of July [-]th, a large and increasing number of people began to gather around Wanping City and Tiananmen Square in an endless stream. Wanping City and Tiananmen Square have been expanded, renovated, and cleaned up. , especially Tiananmen Square, the area has been greatly increased in the expansion, the walls have been painted with brand new red paint, the white marble pillars have been washed spotlessly, there are fountains in the moat with gurgling water, and three stone bridges are lined up on the river. The city tower was changed into a grand ceremony viewing platform, and two electric flagpoles stood upright in front of the city tower. Red lanterns were hung under the cornices of every building in the Forbidden City. It became more and more intense, and the solemn national emblem was hung in the center of the gate of Tiananmen, and two huge slogans were hung on the vermilion walls on the left and right sides of the gate, respectively:

Long live the great Chinese nation!

The great Republic of China will surely win!

At 30 o'clock in the morning, the surrounding area of ​​Wanping City and Tiananmen Square were already filled with crowds of people, full of local residents of Peiping and people who came from all directions, and it became a sea of ​​people. Almost all the people held national flags or military flags , The flags were churning and surging, like waves undulating. It is conservatively estimated that there are more than 40 people around Wanping City, and more than [-] people in Tiananmen Square.

In addition to the Han nationality, there are also a large number of ethnic minorities. Everyone is excited and excited. Thousands of young students wear school uniforms and wave bouquets, forming the eight characters of "reunification of the motherland" and "rejuvenation of the nation". Theme of.

In addition to the crowd, there were tens of thousands of soldiers, armed police, gendarmes, and special agents at the scene. It is worth mentioning that there were a large number of plainclothes mixed in the crowd, and the commanding heights of nearby buildings were also covered in advance by the special agents of the Maritime Bureau, Nanjing The army's snipers were controlled to ensure that the military parade was foolproof in terms of security.

"It is really the first grand ceremony unprecedented in modern China!" All the journalists at the scene expressed emotion.

This is also true. The Qing government did not hold a grand military parade, and it did not hold it several times after the founding of the Republic of China. Jiang Weiguo once held it in Nanjing during the Battle of Nanjing, but because of the rush of time, the preparations were insufficient. The scenes and scenes are all so-so, only this Beijing military parade is a real well-prepared military parade.

At 30:[-], the [-] people around Wanping City burst into overwhelming applause and cheers. A group of cars drove to the open space near Wanping City. Lin Sen, chairman of the Nationalist Government, stepped out of one of the cars slowly Chairman Lin, who is about seventy years old and has a flowing silver beard, looks quite energetic today, with a kind and friendly smile on his weather-beaten face, and behind Chairman Lin is Chiang Kai-shek.

The people at the scene were excited and shouted: "Hello, Chairman Lin!" "Hello, Chairman Jiang!" "Long live Chairman Lin!" "Long live Chairman Chiang!" Behind them are two young men who are more eye-catching than them, one is Jiang Jingguo in a Chinese tunic suit, and the other is Jiang Weiguo in a major general's uniform.

Anyone with a heart knows that Lin Sen, the chairman of the national government, is just a vain position and a symbol. The real power is in the hands of the Jiang family and his son. Compared with other countries, whether it is strength, influence, ability, or influence, there is a huge difference.

Although Jiang Jingguo is the "eldest son of the emperor", he is not necessarily the "crown prince".

"Wei'er, you are doing well, you are well organized!" Chiang Kai-shek praised Jiang Weiguo again and again with a smile on his face.

"Father won the award, I don't dare to be greedy for credit, my eldest brother is also one of the main organizers!" Jiang Weiguo laughed.

"Yeah, Jinger, Weier, you have done a good job!" Chiang Kai-shek seemed quite emotional.

In fact, Chiang Kai-shek was also looking forward to this grand military parade, because he also wanted to see what his National Revolutionary Army (actually Chiang Weiguo's Nanjing Army) had developed into today.

"Father, let's start!" Jiang Weiguo looked at his watch and reminded Chiang Kai-shek.

"Okay!" Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile on his face, "Let's start!"

Chapter 461

On July [-], [-], Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, a member of the Soviet Union, and Beiping, China, became the two focal points of the world's attention on July [-], [-]. The former was erupting on a scale so rare that it determined the fate of Germany and the Soviet Union. The latter held the largest military parade ceremony in modern China.

Ancient China, which has been weak for hundreds of years, can be said to be broken and suffering in modern times. China, which has the world's second largest territory and the world's largest population, is not only not a major player on the international stage, but has also become a place where Eastern and Western powers compete for fish and meat. However, China, which was struggling in the flames of war, blood and tears, and ruins, was not overthrown, collapsed, and defeated. Instead, it became more and more frustrated and stronger, and an ancient civilization with a long history of 5000 years broke out and was suppressed for a long time. overwhelming, overwhelming, daunting potential for anger.

An official magazine in Germany once published such a photo: a scrawny, bruised, bloody lion stood on the edge of a cliff, glaring at several hyenas who came up to it and bared its teeth and claws, and opened its blood basin. The mouth was wide open, revealing a mouth full of dagger-like teeth, roaring majesticly.

The photo caption is just one word: China.

After the Sino-Japanese peace talks and armistice, China was no longer a "third-rate country" in the eyes of the major powers, but became a "regional power comparable to Japan" and "capable of dominating the situation in the East". After the Far East War, China's international status has risen even higher, and it seems that it has become one of the world's great powers and has become one of the new important and main players on the international stage. Although it cannot be said to be a major power with a decisive influence on the international situation, its strength and The influence has also reached the point where it cannot be underestimated, and the major powers no longer underestimate or ignore China.

The purpose of China's military parade in Beiping is obvious. It is to show the outside world its strong military power and the national power behind it, and to demonstrate its military and national prestige. It was a great opportunity to get a glimpse of China's national strength and military strength that was missed. Because of this, there were so many foreign guests on the viewing platforms of Wanping City and Tiananmen Square. After all, China notified these countries and issued invitation letters a month ago.

In addition to the reviewing troops, the masses, high-level officials of the national government and the national army, thousands of domestic and foreign journalists, thousands of domestic celebrities, hundreds of overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese, there are also thousands of foreign guests who participated in this grand military parade. All came from the seven major countries of Germany, Japan, Italy, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. Some were senior government officials, some were military representatives, some were military attaches in China, and some were envoys in China.

Hundreds of VIP seats were full, and the colorful and different styles of dresses from various countries were dazzling and dizzying; various languages ​​such as Chinese, German, Japanese, Italian, English, French, Russian, etc. came and went, and the audience was very lively, making the auditorium an audience. Journalists from all over the world are extremely busy in this lively and lively diplomatic venue.

Among the distinguished guests at home and abroad, China's military and political giants almost collectively appeared: Lin Sen, Chairman of the National Government, Chiang Kai-shek, Chairman of the Military Commission, Chen Cheng, Minister of Military Affairs, He Yingqin, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Chen Shaokuan, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Ouyang Ge, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Air Force Commander Zhou Zhirou, Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi, Executive Yuan President Wang Jingwei, Legislative Yuan President Sun Ke, Judicial Yuan President Ju Zheng, Examination Yuan President Dai Jitao, Supervisory Yuan President Yu Youren... all appeared The representative mission sent by Germany is the largest and most luxurious in terms of scale. Among them, in addition to this, there are several generals and lieutenants. Falkenhausen and Taudman also participated in the delegation. The specifications are not low. Logically, Germany has already launched a world war. Raeder should be too busy to divide himself up. In fact, the reason why Blomberg and Raeder came to China in "free time" is not difficult to speculate. Raeder is in charge of the German navy, and the current war between Germany and the Soviet Union is the German army and air force. The stage, the German navy basically does not need to participate in the war, Raeder "has nothing to do", of course he can come to China, as for Blomberg, he is the German Minister of Defense, Hitler really trusted him and reused him, but Hitler strengthened after the war broke out He lost his own control over the army, so he more or less emptied Blomberg. Blomberg, the Minister of Defense, is no longer able to directly command the army. He is mainly responsible for training and arming the army. Therefore, Blomberg Mumbau also came to China when he was free. He was originally the number one "pro-China faction" among the top German army.

The representatives sent by Japan are also very high in identity. General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, came to Peiping in person, and Yamamoto 56, the commander of the Joint Fleet of the Japanese Navy, also came. The main representative of Italy is the Chief of Staff of the Italian Army. General Hugo Cavaleiro, there are two main representatives of the United States, one is Colonel Joseph Stilwell who has been active in China all year round, and the other is relatively unfamiliar to the Chinese at this time, but for later generations of China As far as people are concerned, he is famous, so this person is named Douglas MacArthur.

MacArthur's rank in the U.S. military at this time was only major general, but when he was the chief of staff of the U.S. Army, he had previously obtained the temporary rank of four-star general of the army. He retired from the U.S. military with the rank of major general three years ago and went to the Philippine colony of the United States to take the rank of Marshal of the Philippines. Serving as the commander-in-chief of the Philippine Army and the role of the governor of the United States ruling the Philippines, he can be called the overlord of the Philippines.

The main representative of the United Kingdom is Major General Arthur Percival, who is one of the top officials of the British Army in Southeast Asia. The main representative of France is the Governor of French Indochina, Jean Deju. As for the Soviet Union, there are two main representatives, one is the Soviet diplomatic department The second person is Andrei Yanu Alevich Vyshinsky, and the other is Lieutenant General Ivan Stepanovich Konev, commander of the Soviet Eastern Military Region (after the Far East War, due to The Outer Northeast, Outer Mongolia, and Tangnu Wulianghai regions were all retaken by the Chinese army. The Soviet authorities adjusted the division of military regions in North Asia in a timely manner, and merged East Siberia and Central Siberia into the "Oriental Military Region". The military region has a very large area. , but most of them are desolate no-man's land, the core is the place between Anbei/Irkutsk and Omsk, and the headquarters of the military region is located in Novosibirsk.

If the Nanjing Army attacked the Soviet Union from east to west along the Siberian Railway, the Soviet military region defending the Nanjing Army would be the Eastern Military Region.

).

Undoubtedly, the mentality of the representatives of the seven major powers is different at this time. The representative of Germany is definitely the most looking forward to and the happiest. The stronger China is, the better it is for Germany. The United States, Britain and France are here to observe, and the mentality is the most complicated and subtle. Naturally, Japan and the Soviet Union.

On the one hand, the Japanese hope that China will become stronger, so that they can win the world war with Germany, Japan and Italy, but on the other hand, they do not want China to become "too strong". After all, the bloody feud between China and Japan cannot be compensated by interests Yes, China and Japan are close together again. China is too strong, which is not a good thing for Japan. The relationship between China and Japan at this time is very similar to the Soviet-Chinese relationship after the establishment of the new China in later generations. New China relies on the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union is too strong. It was not a good thing either; as for the representatives of the Soviet Union, they were basically expressionless and dignified. The relationship between China and the Soviet Union had deteriorated to a freezing point at this time, but the two countries had not yet declared war on each other, and they still maintained normal diplomatic relations. The military parade is justifiable, but China and the Soviet Union are basically trying to see each other, and the Soviets certainly don't want China to become stronger. This visit is to get a glimpse of China's fiction and reality.

In fact, the two sides tacitly, but did not point out.

There were hundreds of representatives of overseas Chinese on the viewing platform, and the leaders were all leaders, such as Situ Meitang, the leader of overseas Chinese in North America, Tan Kah Kee, the leader of overseas Chinese in Malaya, Hu Wenhu, the leader of overseas Chinese in Myanmar, Zhuang Xiyan, the leader of overseas Chinese in Indonesia, and overseas Chinese in the Philippines. Leader Li Qingquan, although they are overseas, they always care about their motherland. The prosperity of their motherland is what they dream of most. The military parade must not be missed. They all want to witness "the majesty and grandeur of the Chinese army today." Jiang Weiguo actually wanted to take the opportunity to tell them: I have lived up to your trust and support in me, and I have not spoiled you. The hard-earned money of overseas Chinese with hundreds of millions of dollars on the Internet.

Jiang Weiguo took a lot of risks in holding this military parade in Beiping. After all, he "offended" too many people, and China has too many internal enemies, external enemies, and potential enemies.

A large-scale ceremony attended by millions of people is really a good opportunity for those who want to fish in troubled waters.

Before the military parade, there were sporadic gunshots from more than a dozen places inside and outside the city of Beiping. They were all the movements of the Nanjing Army's military and police constitutional agents when they thwarted the hostile forces' attempts to sabotage and assassinate. Dozens of people were controlled and arrested by plainclothes agents, all hostile elements with hidden bombs and pistols.

After all, China has not yet entered a peaceful and prosperous age, and is still in a period of war.

At [-]:[-] a.m. (this time is obviously meaningful), Lin Sen, chairman of the national government, walked to the chair of the viewing platform in the eyes of everyone, and spoke calmly, solemnly, and seriously but because of his mood The extremely excited and slightly trembling voice announced to the audience, the whole country, and the whole world: "I declare that the ceremony of the Republic of China commemorating the third anniversary of the July [-]th Incident will now officially begin! Fire the cannon!"

Immediately, the entire city of Beiping applauded like thunder, shaking heaven and earth.

One hundred and eight cannons lined up in the open space on both sides of the venue roared into the air together, spraying out lightning and thunder, and releasing salutes.

After the cannon was fired, amidst the thunderous applause, the national anthem sang loudly. The "National Anthem of the Republic of China" resounded through the loudspeakers. Soon, from Wanping City all the way to Tiananmen Square, millions of people along the way joined the powerful and majestic The melody of the national anthem was sung loudly, the sound shook the blue sky, and the turmoil rolled. After the national anthem, the "Flag Song of the Republic of China" sounded from the speakers, and the flag-raising ceremony officially began. Two flagpoles were raised at the same time. The military flag of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China, the two flags fluttered together.

All hat-wearers in the audience took off their hats to pay tribute, and all soldiers saluted the national flag and military flag. The whole flag-raising ceremony was solemn and solemn.

After the flag-raising ceremony, Lin Sen began to deliver a speech:

"Today is the third anniversary of the July [-]th Incident. On this special day, we hold a ceremony at the place where the incident broke out. The fundamental purpose is not to spread hatred, but to keep history in mind and learn from past mistakes. Lessons, enlightenment and vigilance for a better tomorrow.

Today, three years ago, a full-scale war broke out between China and Japan. Today, three years later, China and Japan are friendly countries. We must not forget the history, but we must not affect the future because of the past.

The Sino-Japanese War was not only a disaster for China, but also for Japan, and the war brought great suffering to the people of both China and Japan..."

Following Lin Sen's speech, all the Japanese representatives on the viewing platform, who had unnatural expressions, pulled faces or stern faces, all stretched their eyebrows and showed joy.

The logic is ready-made: the July [-]th Incident was the day when Japan took the initiative to attack China and China fully resisted Japan. Although this day is not a shame for Japan, it is indeed a bit embarrassing. "Friends" in China commemorates the day when Japan invaded China three years ago with great fanfare, and the Japanese have to feel embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Lin Sen did not "expose the crimes of Japanese imperialism", but started from the macro perspective of the overall situation of China and Japan, and described the Japanese as "victims of war". Therefore, the main point of Lin Sen's speech was not to "criticize Japan, angrily criticize Japan", but "I hope that China and Japan will learn from the past and move towards a better future together". Naturally, the Japanese are in a good mood when they hear it.

Standing in a corner of the viewing platform, Jiang Weiguo showed a look of disdain. Originally, he had already prepared a speech, and he either asked Lin Sen to read it out, or asked Chiang Kai-shek to read it out, or Jiang Weiguo read it out himself, but Chiang Kai-shek saw After reading it, he shook his head again and again, not allowing Jiang Weiguo to use that speech, because Jiang Weiguo's speech was "murderous, and the lines are full of cruel words that China intends to settle accounts with the great powers that have bullied China."

Not only that, but Chiang Kai-shek also has a mind, because in the original "paper bomb bombing Japan" incident, Jiang Weiguo played with "civet cats for princes" and replaced Chiang Kai-shek's leaflets with his leaflets, so Chiang Kai-shek this time "Strictly guard against death" and Jiang Weiguo was not allowed to "act recklessly" in front of the friendly countries of the great powers, which led to the complete shelving of Jiang Weiguo's speech.

Lin Sen's speech lasted only 5 minutes, and then the flower-laying ceremony began.

Most of the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army were devoted to Jiang Weiguo, and they would sacrifice their lives on the battlefield and regard death as home. One of the important reasons is that "when we were alive, the second son loved us generously, and after we died, the second son will not forget us ".

The grassroots officers and soldiers of the Chinese army are very superstitious. They all believe that people have souls after death, and there will be reincarnation. This is because they have seen too many dead comrades-in-arms. , maggots, being spoiled by wild dogs, crows and mice, they are afraid that after death they will become a pile of abandoned, rotten meat that no one cares about, so they force themselves to believe that there is a soul and an afterlife, and the abandoned remains are just irrelevant This is also a kind of suffering for Chinese soldiers in the Republic of China. After they overcome the fear of death, they have to rely on this kind of self-deception to relieve their fear of the tragic ending after their death.

Jiang Weiguo did a very good job in this matter. Just like the US military in later generations, he set up a special agency, spent huge sums of money, and tried his best to search and collect the remains of the fallen officers and soldiers. Even if he spent money to buy them from the enemy, he would take them back. The remains of the martyrs of the country are sent to the cemetery of the heroes or sent back to the hometown of the heroes for burial.

Such a commander, how could his subordinates not work hard for him?This is one of the reasons why the Nanjing Army is brave, has high morale, and is extremely loyal to Jiang Weiguo.

After recovering Beiping, Jiang Weiguo built a very high monument to the heroes outside Wanping City, beside the Yongding River, and beside the Lugou Bridge. He invited Mr. Yu Youren, the dean of the Overwatch Council and a famous calligrapher, to inscribe an inscription on the front of the monument. ", the back of the monument is engraved with "Since the July [-]th Incident broke out, all Chinese heroes who died for the country will be immortal".

It is worth mentioning that after the Nanjing Army regained Shenyang, Jiang Weiguo also built a very high monument to heroes and heroes on the original site of Shenyang Beidaying. Heroes live forever."

The flower-laying ceremony was to present wreaths, wreaths, and baskets to the "Monument to the Heroes of the July [-]th Incident". Not only Lin Sen, Chiang Kai-shek and other high-level Chinese officials and representatives from all walks of life, foreign guests and overseas Chinese also presented flowers.

Among them, the Japanese were in the most embarrassing situation. The reporters desperately took pictures of Ueda Kenkichi and Yamamoto 56 who presented flowers, capturing their "expressions that cannot be described in words".

After Ueda and Yamamoto presented flowers, reporters flocked forward to interview, Ueda's expression flickered and his words were ambiguous, but Yamamoto seemed very calm. He said: "It was a wrong war. As a soldier, I am grateful to those who have dedicated themselves to their motherland." The Chinese soldiers who have given their lives are full of respect. As a Japanese, I am full of apologies to them as a Chinese!" Yamamoto was one of the core backbones of the "pro-China faction" in the Japanese high-level at this time, and strongly advocated the four-nation alliance of Germany, China, Japan and Italy. He said, "I am against war, but war is inevitable at all. Anti-war without preparation is pure deceit. Since Japan wants to participate in war, the only way for Japan is to conduct an all-round military alliance with Germany, China and Italy. In addition, Japan There is no second choice", and Yamamoto himself and Jiang Weiguo have reached the point of "quite a personal relationship".
