Chapter 317 War and Politics ([-])

When the guns on the Marco Polo Bridge sounded, the media organization directly under the Renqiu government notified the whole country of the news immediately.

Ren Qiu's media used to have only one newspaper office, which was the one where the beautiful Mei Lanshu was.After the Xuebing R & D Institute developed semiconductor radio and television, it established a radio station.

In China at this time, television is definitely a novelty.In order to allow the people under its rule to accept and enjoy the convenience and entertainment brought by this high-tech product, as well as to facilitate policy promotion and influence the direction of public opinion, the Xuebing military government first tried it in Renqiu, directly distributing TVs in units of brigades, The sales proceeds are directly withdrawn from the brigade's surplus fiscal and taxation.

At this time in Renqiu, the land reform had been completed, and various cooperatives and cooperative production groups abounded.Due to the promotion of mechanized operations, agricultural productivity has been greatly improved, which has enabled many families to spare their manpower to work in factories, and the living standards of farmers have been significantly improved, and there are even many farmers who have become rich because of land reclamation.At the beginning, most of the people went to the brigade headquarters to watch the novelty TV with curiosity. Later, they gradually became fascinated, so wealthy people began to buy it, thus promoting the rapid development of the electronics industry of the Xuebing Army.The rise of television in Renqiu has attracted attention, so it first spread to Pingjin, then Zhangjiakou, and then quickly swept across North China. Now, discerning businessmen from Guangdong, Nanjing and other places have begun to come to Renqiu to place orders.Guangdong is fine. The Xuebing Army will set up a TV station in Dongshan sooner or later. It should not be a problem to cover the surrounding areas. However, it will not work in other places. After all, the establishment of a TV station is closely related to the interests of the local government.But even so, the electronics factory under the Xuebing Army is still in short supply. So far, three production lines have been started, and two sets of equipment are being shipped from the United States to Dongshan, Fujian.

The profit brought by the TV is huge. You must know that compared with China, the market in the United States and its surrounding areas is larger. The export of electronic parts alone is enough for the Xue Bingjun to make a fortune.The profits of the electronics industry are so huge that it has only been launched for a few months, and it has a tendency to keep pace with the pharmaceutical industry.

Someone once said that the Chinese are individually a dragon, and together they are a group of worms.There is some truth to this statement, but it is by no means the truth.Due to the timely and powerful reports of the Xuebing military government and the high degree of openness to the media, the two Wen'an battles and the Tianjin victory received timely and necessary publicity.Undoubtedly, these three victories have inspired the confidence of the Chinese people, and in time, they have seen a glimmer of light for the Chinese people who were in the dark and could not feel the light.When the Lugou Bridge battle was exposed, it triggered a patriotic upsurge across the country.Except for the Nanjing government's silence, all local forces in North China immediately made a strong statement, and the Chinese Communist Party even sent a telegram to appeal to the whole country: compatriots all over China, Pingjin is in danger!North China is in danger!The Chinese nation is in danger!The only way out is for the whole nation to carry out the War of Resistance!And put forward the resounding slogans of "Don't let Japanese imperialism occupy an inch of China!" "Shed the last drop of blood to defend the country!"The Guangdong and Guangxi government, which is an ally with the Xuebing Army, also immediately sent a nationwide telegram to support the Xuebing Army in resisting Japan, saying: Under necessary conditions, if the Nanjing government compromises with Japan, Guangdong and Guangxi will send troops northward at all costs, and they will definitely defend North China. An inch of land will prevent North China from becoming another three eastern provinces.Many non-governmental organizations sent telegrams to support the Xuebing Army. Among them, the Overseas Chinese Federation organized two large-scale fundraising activities, raising 300 million US dollars, saying that they would support the Xuebing Army's military operations from practical actions.Under such a general situation, the Nanjing government had to make an explanation by Lao Jiang on the 15th, and put forward the policy of "do not surrender, do not expand; do not seek war, must resist war".The Chinese people finally stood together at the critical moment of the country's survival, and the benefits brought by such public opinion to the Xue Bingjun not only received a batch of economic aid, but more importantly, greatly improved their own image in the hearts of the people across the country. This also gained enough public support for the Xuebing Army to control Guangdong in the future.

Still turning their attention to the front line of Wanping, the Japanese army began to attack the defensive end of the Lugouqiao cadet army with the support of artillery fire with a small force.

On the position of the Xuebing Army at the east end of Lugou Bridge, a platoon of soldiers had been waiting there for a long time.At around ten o'clock at night, the night was so dark that people could not be seen clearly from ten meters away, but as a flare rose into the sky behind them, it immediately exposed the group of devils advancing on the bridge.The platoon leader Yang Jian glanced around and saw that all the brothers looked excited and nervous as if they were facing an enemy. He shook his head and sighed, then turned his eyes to the bunkers on both sides of the bridge.

The soldiers didn't know, and they were still waiting to shoot to enjoy themselves, but he knew very well that as long as those two bunkers existed, it was simply not their turn to perform.Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help being a little jealous of that Wang Deshui and Gong Bihai, thinking that grandma is a bear, why is my luck so bad?Just after the bunker was rotated out, the little devil came over.

On the Lugou River, in the north and south bunkers, Wang Deshui and Gong Bihai didn't have the leisure time like Yang Jian to think wildly.The Japanese used 75 field guns and mortars. The little devil artillerymen had already calibrated the shooting elements, so the shells were extremely accurate. Although they could not blow up the bunkers built on stones, the sound of the shells But the shock made the ears of the people inside buzz and they felt dizzy.Ordinarily, when these two bunkers were designed and built, the factor of earthquake resistance had been taken into consideration, but now it seems that it has no effect.Of course, maybe it's just because the sound of the guns so close at hand is too deafening.

After the gunfire, gunpowder smoke dispersed, and a smell of sulfur and charcoal floated into the bunker. Many soldiers who were guarding the firing port couldn't bear to choke and coughed violently.Seeing this, Wang Dazhang, Wang Deshui's deputy, said to him: "Platoon leader, let the brothers wear gas masks?"

At this moment, Wang Deshui was opening his mouth wide to prevent the shock. He heard the words and cursed: "Hey! Put on a gas mask and shoot a bird!" Turning around, he shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Brothers hold on, keep your eyes wide open! Watch out! Listen to my password! Get ready to shoot!" After speaking, he was also choked and coughed loudly.
