Chapter 904 903 [Patriotic General]
(PS: The description of the Lion Awakening Sword in the previous chapter is incorrect. This sword is divided into three grades and nine stars, which can be obtained by all officers. Three stars and below are awarded to lieutenants and school officers, and four stars and above are awarded to generals. The prerequisite for being awarded the Medal of Honor is to have received the highest-level medal and to have made great achievements again. It seems that no one has received it yet, and Zhou Hexuan is the only one. In order to make the plot appear reasonable, the description in the previous chapter has been slightly modified. )
Zhou Mansion.
Feng Yuxiang pulled out the Awakening Lion Sword, held it across his chest, looked at it again and again, and exclaimed: "Good sword, really good sword!"
"President Chiang is such a fool. So many soldiers who have made meritorious service have not received medals. How can they award it to me, a scholar who enjoys himself in the rear?" Zhou Hexuan appropriately criticized Chiang Kai-shek, but his face was full of smiles.
Feng Yuxiang shook his head and said: "Brother Zhou, you are well-deserved for being awarded this honorary sword. Not to mention that you donated money and donated so many airplanes, but that you saw through the Japanese invaders' telegraph code book at a glance, which made countless people living in Chongqing Ordinary people were saved from bombing.”
Zhou Hexuan said: "The fact that Chongqing was spared from bombing is all the result of the military secret code group and the air force athletes. I don't dare to take credit."
Feng Yuxiang said with a smile: "Everyone has merit, everyone has merit. Haha, good job. Even the little Japanese boy is here today!"
Of course Feng Yuxiang was happy. During the May 3rd and May 4th bombings, his house was bombed. Fortunately, none of his family members were injured or injured. With no other choice, Feng Yuxiang had no choice but to move his family to Ba County, and did not move back to Chongqing until two days ago.
Feng Yuxiang returned the Lion Awakening Sword to Zhou Hexuan, and took out a cartoon as if it were a treasure: "Brother Zhou, this is my latest work. How do you like the painting?"
Zhou Hexuan took a look at the cartoon and saw that it showed a Chinese plane dropping a bomb, and several Japanese soldiers were blown away and fled. There is also a cartoon inscription next to it: Good bombing, wonderful bombing, air force athletes show off their heroes, bombing makes the Japanese devils croak!
"Good calligraphy, good painting!" Zhou Hexuan couldn't help laughing.
When the Anti-Japanese War just broke out, Feng Yuxiang was appointed commander of the Third War Zone, but was soon transferred to Commander of the Sixth War Zone. There were many troops in the Sixth Theater who originally belonged to the Northwest Army. Chiang Kai-shek simply wanted Feng Yuxiang to unify his original subordinates. However, Han Fuju, Song Zheyuan and others jointly resisted.
They are all married and established, who wants to invite the ancestors back to support them?
Feng Yuxiang left the Sixth War Zone in despair, completely losing its military value since then. But this general was very good at establishing his presence. He traveled around the provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan and Shaanxi, giving patriotic speeches along the way, and from time to time he would write and publish anti-war poems.
Until now, Feng Yuxiang has become the reputation leader of the main war faction. At the previous meetings of the Kuomintang, many Kuomintang bureaucrats wavered, which made Chiang Kai-shek, who insisted on resisting the war, very passive. Feng Yuxiang always stood firmly on Chiang Kai-shek's side, even going so far as to break the table with many dignitaries.
Feng Yuxiang always told people: "Mr. Chiang's victory is the country's victory. China has only one leader, and that is Mr. Chiang. Only Mr. Chiang can lead China to rejuvenation."
After all this, Chang Kaishen admired Feng Yuxiang very much. Except for not letting Feng Yuxiang lead troops, Chang Kaishen met almost all of Feng Yuxiang's requirements, showed great respect, and usually behaved as affectionately as a brother.
No, Feng Yuxiang has recently become obsessed with painting. He is good at Chinese paintings, comics, and Western paintings, and the content of all his paintings is related to the Anti-Japanese War.
For example, Feng Yuxiang painted an ink painting "Eggplant" and wrote a poem: "Eggplant is purple, purple eggplant, if you eat it, you will be strong, you can beat the Japanese invaders to death!"
Good poems, good poems, should be written in three clear words.
Another example is Feng Yuxiang's figure painting, which shows a man sitting by a fence and meditating. He wrote a poem: "The wind blows in the big leaves, and a man is sitting on a stone. I ask you what you think, why don't you resist? If you don't resist, the nation will surely perish."
Good poems, good poems, three more things come to mind.
Even the scene of farmers tilling and weeding can inspire Feng Yuxiang's interest in painting and poetry. A few months ago, he saw two farmers hoeing weeds, and immediately drew a cartoon "Weeding Sketches" with the poem: "You take the hoe, I take the hoe, you in front, I behind. We work like weeding. Japanese pirates, unite and fight sincerely. Blood bleeds in the front, sweats in the rear, unite and avenge the country."
Feng Yuxiang's reputation is frightening now, but he has no power at all. In this situation, he is very suitable to be the master of Qingtian, so that those who have no background and are corrupt and perverting the law will call them bad luck.
Two months ago, Ba County was bombed. Two spies kidnapped a female student who was hiding from the bombing and acted like a hooligan. After the air raid alert was lifted, the female student was forcibly taken away. The principal of Baxian Middle School immediately found Feng Yuxiang. Feng Yuxiang rushed back to Chongqing overnight and sat at Lao Jiang's house angrily without speaking.
Chang Kaishen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't know what happened to anger his brother, so he immediately asked in detail.
Feng Yuxiang said angrily: "There are plane bombings in the sky and spies running rampant on the ground. There is no way for us ordinary people to survive!"
Later, Chang Kaishen was forced to go to Baxian by Feng Yuxiang. Not only did he punish the two military reunification agents, he also personally apologized to the teachers and students of Baxian Middle School.
Feng Yuxiang did this kind of thing a lot. The more arrogant he was in small things, the more Chang Kaishen respected him and believed that Feng Yuxiang posed no political threat. One of the most commendable times was when Feng Yuxiang strictly inspected the shoddy project——
At the time of the Wuhan Great War, Feng Yuxiang suddenly received a letter of report saying that Cai Jilun, the commander stationed at the Three Gorges River Defense Fortress, was so unconscionable that he cut corners in the defense fortifications and used bamboo poles instead of steel bars to build forts.
Feng Yuxiang personally led people to the Jiangfang Fortress and directed the soldiers to use iron picks and steel drills to dismantle the artillery bunkers. As a result, as soon as the pickaxe was lowered, the solid fortifications immediately revealed their original shape, which was filled with loose lime mortar and bamboo poles.
Feng Yuxiang was furious and quickly telegraphed to the Central Military Commission to shoot Cai Jilun and others on the spot in Yichang, and reorganized his manpower to build the Shipai Fortress.
In the second year after the Shipai Fortress was built, the Three Gorges Shipai Defense Battle broke out, which lasted for three years and successfully prevented the Japanese army from invading Chongqing. It was called the "Eastern Stalingrad Defense Battle" by historians.
Without Feng Yuxiang's strict inspection of the shoddy project, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although this general liked to invite famous people to show off, he really made great contributions to the Anti-Japanese War. The Anti-Japanese War donations raised through his appeal for donations amounted to hundreds of millions of legal currency.
Perhaps because he felt that Chang Kaishen admired Zhou Hexuan very much, Feng Yuxiang came to visit him as soon as he moved back to Chongqing. After chatting for a long time, he suddenly said: "Brother Zhou, I have gained a lot of experience in creating comics recently. You and your sister-in-law (Wanrong) are also masters of comics. Why don't we work together to create a country-saving comics magazine. What do you think?"
