Chapter 953 Starting from Nanyang
A port in Southeast Asia
Guo Shaoqiu, the leader of the Overseas Chinese Volunteer Corps, felt a little overwhelmed by the name of this army.
He clearly came from the mainland, and in order to support the military construction in Southeast Asia, he was promoted from the head of the security group to the head of the regular group here. He never expected that one day he would be able to become the head of the Overseas Chinese Volunteer Corps and return to China to participate in the war of resistance under such a title.
"Don't overthink it. Just like our commander-in-chief said, no matter what the reason is, as long as you can return to the country to fight and defend the Dapu River, isn't that enough? What's the point of thinking so much? It's just a different unit number. The internal strife among the top leaders of the Nationalist government is constant, and it's not easy for us to get involved."
President Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had known for the past few days that Captain Guo had not been very satisfied.
"Mr. Chen, I just don't understand what's going on in those people's heads. You say the Japanese troops are pressing in, Pujiang is on the verge of collapse, why don't we unite and fight the devils to the death? As long as we unite, there's nothing we can't accomplish. Take Southeast Asia for example, haven't we been bullied before? Even though we're surrounded by powerful countries, they never fail to inform us of anything they do. Isn't that the power of unity?"
Guo Shaoqiu spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth. He had been thinking about this matter for several days, but he was powerless and could not change anything.
At this moment, sixteen transport planes are ready. This is the second batch of soldiers about to take off. According to domestic requirements, they will fly directly to Jinling.
After two days of reorganization in Nanjing, all weapons were immediately distributed and then they headed straight for the Pujiang battlefield.
"Don't dwell on this, absolutely don't dwell on this. Things back home are much more complicated than here. Everyone has their own sky above them, and everyone has their own land. As a rising power, we are naturally being marginalized from all sides. If it weren't for this war, we might not have been able to develop in Pujiang. Forget about these territorial issues now. Lead your men to demonstrate the dignity of our overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia."
President Chen is old, and he still gestures with excitement when he talks about these things. If you were a little younger, perhaps it would not be your turn to lead the team.
"Mr. Chen, I'm from the mainland..."
Guo Shaoqiu said a little embarrassedly.
"Aren't you still the son-in-law of our overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia? Now, under this military flag, you represent us overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia and around the world. Do not embarrass us. The Pujiang battlefield is extremely brutal, but you must not retreat even an inch."
Mr. Chen was inspired as he looked at the overseas Chinese children in front of him.
During a meeting a few days ago, some selfish people even said that we have finally achieved such a good situation here and should not get involved in the domestic war, especially since Japan's navy is extremely developed. If the Japanese are concerned about us, their navy may come to Southeast Asia and take some actions that are unfavorable to us.
When hearing such remarks, Mr. Chen and some other patriots immediately asked such people to get out. If you still have such thoughts, you can also get out of here. Why do we have such a good situation today? Isn’t it because Li Shaoyi led his people to fight for us back then?
Mr. Chen always tells others that China and we are of the same root. Now that we are living well here, we must find ways to help China.
If we lose the war at home, do you think your good life can continue? It's simply impossible.
"Report to the captain, the second group of boarding teams has boarded the plane. Please give instructions."
While the two were talking, the company commander of the third company of the volunteer regiment came to report. Each time they set out, only one company would set out, with two to three companies setting out in a day, and it would take a total of five days to complete the transportation.
All the personnel are traveling light, carrying no weapons other than the clothes they are wearing and pistols. After landing in Nanjing, they will be re-equipped according to their respective arms. As for where Li Shaoyi got these weapons and equipment, we don't want to think too much about it. Anyway, the Marshal would never let us go to the battlefield empty-handed, and there is no such example in the 72nd Army.
Captain Guo turned around and saluted Mr. Chen. As the leader of the volunteer group, he was going to set off with the other personnel.
"Take care on your journey, and I await news of your triumphant return."
Led by Mr. Chen, military and political leaders from all over Southeast Asia stood up straight.
Guo Shaoqiu saluted, then quickly boarded the plane with his men without much nonsense. The simple way of doing things of the 72nd Army had spread throughout Southeast Asia.
Jinling Airport
From morning till now, more than a dozen transport planes have landed every three hours or so. Jinling Airport can be said to be extremely busy. After the Pujiang battle, Japanese planes came to visit every day, but we didn't let them take much advantage. Every time a Japanese plane came, we could leave something for them.
Today, because of the arrival of the transport plane, there are more than a dozen planes in the sky to provide escort. It is said that they came from Qingdao.
"This plane flew over from Qingdao and only stayed in the air for 20 minutes at most. Yet Qingdao keeps sending planes over again and again. What are they thinking?"
The Third Military Police Regiment was responsible for the security of the airport. Seeing another batch of planes flying in the sky, they really couldn't understand what the Nationalist troops in Qingdao were thinking.
"Don't use your brain to think that the people of the 72nd Army have as much gasoline as the Yangtze River. They are willing to give their soldiers a chance to train on the battlefield, even if it's just to stay in our sky for 20 minutes. After all, they have plenty of energy, and flying back and forth can also be considered training for the pilots."
When another soldier heard the news from others, he opened his mouth as wide as his comrades next to him, and even an egg could be stuffed in it.
Li Shaoyi did not have many fighter jets at Jinling Airport, and the ten or so fighter jets he relied on would have been shot down long ago, so Li Shaoyi could only transfer planes from Qingdao Airport.
Each time, the twelve planes can only cruise for twenty minutes over Jinling, but for Ma Leizi, this is a good opportunity for us to train.
Hundreds of fighter planes were lined up waiting. What was wrong with twenty minutes? In twenty minutes, we could guarantee the safety of Jinling Airport and the Overseas Chinese Volunteer Corps...
