There is a distance of more than 70 kilometers from the urban area to Anren Town, and it takes more than an hour to drive.

In response to the strong request of netizens, Wang Liang talked about some past events of the Sichuan Army's resistance against Japan.

In advance of the Sichuan Army, Wang Liang couldn't help but think of the word "tragic".

Sichuan Army is the title of the local army of Sichuan Province during the Republic of China.

Unlike other local factions, the Sichuan Army has never formed a unified system.

The early Sichuan Army had Liu Cunhou and Xiong Kewu in power.

In the middle and late period, Liu Xiang was in power.

After Liu Xiang died of illness, the Sichuan Army formed a situation in which five generals, Deng Xihou, Yang Sen, Pan Wenhua, Liu Wenhui, and Wang Lingji, competed for supremacy.

The factions within the Sichuan Army are complicated, the defense zone system prevails, and the civil war is so fierce that it is famous all over the country.

But when the little Japanese's dog's hooves stepped into China, the Sichuan army with many factions united and went out together.

Wang Liang raised his head: "During the Anti-Japanese War, Sichuan Province assumed 30.00% of the country's fiscal revenue and 40.00% of the anti-Japanese military forces. To borrow a sentence from General Li Zongren once said, 'Eight years of Anti-Japanese War, the contribution of the Sichuan Army is indispensable. '."

The War of Resistance Against Japan lasted for eight full years, and a total of 40 Sichuan troops came out of Sichuan to fight against Japan.

They moved to the north and south of the motherland and participated in almost all the large-scale battles in the War of Resistance.

Hundreds of thousands of Sichuan Army soldiers died on the battlefield, and their souls were broken.

In fact, there is an idea that has sprouted in Wang Liang's mind for a long time, that is, after the filming of this Vietnam War-themed film is finished, the next film will be the Anti-Japanese War.

The protagonist is Chuan Jun.

Let the Chinese people see that grandma doesn't hurt, and uncle doesn't love.

What did the Sichuan army do when the country faced aggression, with equipment, supplies, and even medical conditions that were much worse than those of the Central Army and other local forces.

Wang Liang recounted: "Speaking of the Sichuan army coming out of Sichuan, we have to start when the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out. At that time, He Yingqin, who was the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, was ordered to reorganize the army in Sichuan and Kang, and the plan was to reduce the Sichuan army."

One is to avoid the downsizing of direct line troops, and the other is for the national plan of resisting Japan and saving the country.

Sichuan Army coach Liu Xiang took the initiative to call Chang Kai to apply for Ying to come out of Sichuan to kill the enemy.

At the end of July [-], the national government prepared to hold a national defense conference in Nanjing.

At the meeting, all parties hesitated on the issue of the main battle and the main peace. At this time, Liu Xiang stood up.

He gave a speech for nearly two hours.

In his speech, he clearly opposed Chang Kaishen's policy of "resisting the outside world and first securing the interior" aimed at eliminating local forces. Chuan can send 30 troops, provide 500 million strong men, and provide food worth tens of millions of stones...all of Sichuan’s human and financial resources can be contributed to the country.”

Wang Liang closed his eyes, recalling the situation when Liu Xiang, who was already in a state of illness, said these words.

In [-], Wang Liang was guarding Lugou Bridge.

Certainly not eligible to go to the defense conference.

But later, Wang Liang met General Liu Xiang and had a long exchange with him.

Wang Liang also consulted the detailed records of the [-] National Defense Conference in the then Ministry of National Defense.

From this, it is not difficult to think of the situation when General Liu Xiang made a speech.

Although the tortoise has a longevity, there is still time.

The snake snake rides in the fog and ends up as dirt.

Lao Ji Fuping, ambition of thousands of miles.

The martyrs are young and strong.

The period of shrinking is not only in the sky.

The blessing of the good fortune can be won forever.

Fortunately, even swearing, the song is ambiguous.

Cao Cao's ambition back then was to complete the national unification.

At the age of 49, Liu Xiang was in order to expel the Japanese invaders and maintain the independence and sovereignty of the country.

On September [-], [-], Liu Xiang led his troops out of Sichuan to fight against Japan.

Wang Liang said: "At that time, General Liu Xiang's subordinates all advised Liu Xiang, who was in poor health, not to go out to fight in person, but to stay at home. General Liu Xiang responded in this way: 'I have fought civil wars for many years in the past, and my face is not very honorable. The country serves its life, how can it be safe in the rear!'”

This is a historical figure of flesh and blood.

Back then, he also encircled and suppressed the Red Army.

But he is also a Chinese with national pride.

In order to mobilize the Sichuan Army to fight in Sichuan, Liu Xiang convened senior staff to discuss together for many days, and decided to organize the Sichuan Army into two group armies to participate in the battle.

No.20 Second Army, Commander Deng Xihou, Deputy Commander Sun Zhen, under the jurisdiction of the 41st, 45th, and 47th armies.

No.20 Third Army, the commander is Liu Xiang himself, with Tang Shizun as the deputy commander, governing the 21st and 23rd armies and three independent brigades.

"One thing to add is that the No. 20 Second Army is not directly related to Liu Xiang, but the No. 20 Third Army, which he personally serves as the commander of, is the direct line." Wang Liang said.

The reason why Wang Liang introduced it in such detail is to prevent netizens from over-profiling a historical figure.

No one is perfect.

Both right and wrong.

The fate of the non-direct 22nd Army is tragic.

After the marshalling was completed, they traveled from Sichuan to Shaanxi on foot, and then transported by train to Yu Province, crossed the Yellow River and entered Jin Province.

Participated in the bloody battle to defend Niangziguan in Taiyuan.

At the beginning of 20, the No.[-] Second Army was ordered to go to Lu Province and transferred to the command and jurisdiction of the Fifth Theater.

"In the early days of the Battle of Xuzhou, in the famous Teng County Defense Battle, Wang Mingzhang, commander of the 22st and 40nd Division of the No. [-] First Army of the [-]nd Army, Zhao Weibin, chief of staff of the division, Zou Mutao, chief of staff of the [-]th Division, and thousands of troops from the [-]nd Division Many officers and soldiers resisted the attacking Japanese army with dilapidated weapons, and most of them were killed in battle, which laid the foundation for the great victory of Taierzhuang." Wang Liang said.

Battle of Teng County.

This is a selection material for Wang Liang's next Anti-Japanese War film.

If the defense of Teng County is filmed, the protagonist in it must be Master Wang Mingzhang of the [-]st, [-]nd and [-]nd Divisions.

In the comment area, a netizen asked: "Old Chief, at the beginning of 1938, the Sichuan Army only came out of Sichuan for a few months, so why are the weapons and equipment worn out? What's more, when the Sichuan Army came out of Sichuan to fight against Japan, Lao Jiang should provide weapons and equipment as a necessary supplement, right? "

Wang Liang smiled: "This friend asked a very good question."

"As you said, in order to prevent his troops from being scattered and disintegrated, General Liu Xiang, the commander of the Sichuan Army, made three demands to Chang Kaishen before leaving Sichuan. First, the Sichuan Army should not be divided into organizational structures, and should be under its own unified command. The second is to set aside one-third of the troops to garrison the original defense; the third is to make necessary supplements to the equipment and weapons of the Chuchuan anti-Japanese troops.”

For Liu Xiang's requests, the wily Chang Kaishen of course agreed to them one by one.

However, when the Sichuan Army came out of Sichuan, the various departments of the Sichuan Army were dispersed, and the organizational system was quickly disrupted.

The 41st and 45th armies were transferred to the command of Yan Xishan in the second theater.

The 47th Army was transferred to the command of Cheng Qian in the first theater.

The 20th Army was transferred to the Songhu battlefield.

Even the weapons and equipment promised by Kawamae were proposed, but they were not in place.

"Being cannon fodder, the army numbers were all wiped out later, not the direct line." Wang Liang sighed silently.
