Chapter 537: Soul Conjuring (Part 2)

(...I went to the front line more than once after the war to preside over the soul-summoning of the officers and soldiers. Don't underestimate such a ceremony. It is very important for our officers and soldiers; because what I want to recruit is not the soul of the dead, but the soul of the three armies... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

Cao Xiaomin is amazing! Yu Hanmou witnessed this brief speech and order next to him. He had discovered that the consistency of actions of the deserters when they accepted orders to pick up the bodies of their brothers on the battlefield had returned to the appearance of an army.

The biggest feature of these supplementary regiments is that they all come from the same country as the regiment. Many people were bandits in their respective hometowns. They were originally more united than ordinary recruits. Especially those troops who were born as bandits, they turned out to be brothers!

Because they were frightened by the violent artillery fire of the Japanese army when they first went to the battlefield, they became deserters; but how could they give up their attachment to the brothers who died in their country!? The first order Cao Xiaomin gave the deserters was to let them go back and collect the bodies of the brothers who were abandoned by them and left a hidden pain in their hearts; this was to give them a chance to salvation and to throw them back into the trenches for the first time. As long as they went, they would not be afraid in the future!

The weather was very cold, and the faces of the brothers abandoned in the mountains were already gray-green, with dark purple and dead breath. The turbid and half-closed eyes looked like tears... Are you complaining about your abandonment? The invisible heavy pressure on the hearts of a group of deserters, and everyone was speechless, and the tears that were originally hanging in their eyes were gradually dried up due to shame.

Although the mountains in the distance were baptized by artillery fire, the originally yellow and yellow had been burned to ashes and then taken away by the north wind. In my eyes, there was no withering in the middle of winter. The springs in the mountains were still gurgling, and the birds frightened by artillery fire continued to jump on the exposed ridges as if nothing had happened... If there was no sound of cannons coming from the east of Aotou, all this looked like the scenery of the ridge burned before spring plowing in my hometown (the mountainous areas in northwestern Guangdong were similar to the method of slash-and-burn farming, and the wilderness that was to be cultivated will be burned before spring begins.).

Time and space change in everyone's minds. They seem to have returned home, and the brothers are by their side... But the brothers are dead, and they are by their side.

"Why should those corpses of Japanese people be carried down? I think I'll throw them into the sea to feed fish..." At the forefront, the area where the Japanese had been repeatedly conquered by the Japanese, the bodies of the Chinese and Japanese armies began to pile up together, and the officers and soldiers were a little confused about what to do.

"No, we still have to catch fish in spring. Do you want us to eat the fish that are fed with corpses?" The local militia first objected, thinking that the corpses should be concentrated and burned.

"Call up the bodies of those Japanese..." Cao Xiaomin looked at the pile of newspapers coming from Chongqing in his hand and pondered for a while, and then he suddenly looked up and said to Chen Lifu: "This time our methods cannot be the same as last time. After all, the main target this time is students. They are passionate, sensitive and ignorant of life and death, and are easily incited and exploited. If we strongly suppress the troops or spies entering the campus, it will cause an uproar, and such suppression will bury hatred in the hearts of students. We do this..."

Cao Xiaomin decided not to fight verbal battles with those editors. On the one hand, he deployed interviews with third-party personnel, such as interviews with battlefield observers from Britain, the United States and other countries, so that they could state what they saw with their own eyes and publish them in newspapers controlled by the central government that occupy the mainstream of public opinion. In addition, Cao Xiaomin decided to do something jaw-dropping: collect the bodies of Japanese soldiers and return them to the Japanese soldiers!

"Even if Japanese politicians are unwilling to let the people know that they have suffered so much casualties and suppress the news at home, I believe that the generals of any country are the same and value their officers and soldiers. If we ask them to take back the bodies, they will definitely come and receive them!" Cao Xiaomin said: "Our reporters can take photos on the spot with reporters from Western countries, and they can also get the most accurate number of annihilations. In this way, we can let the people of Chongqing and the people of the whole country know the truth without having to fight verbal battles, and understand the significance of our army's great sacrifices and sacrifices in the War of Resistance!"

Yes! Why do you have to have a verbal battle? Do you have to explain every announcement of the Central Committee again? It is unreliable? Chen Lifu suddenly felt that the depression in his chest was dispelled... Why did something difficult to solve when Cao Xiaomin came to him!?

"As for dealing with those school newspapers, is it simple to deal with them, are there only theirs in the university? Our Three Youth League and other forces can also be mobilized! We do not need military and police or spies to interfere with school newspapers, but can't the school newspaper be controlled? Let the young people we master, if they want democracy, they have to accept different opinions, and let our young people join the school newspaper editorial team, and finally squeeze them out!" Cao Xiaomin said: "If they are tough, then we will let those young people take action. No matter how large the fight is, it will be fine; I have to see what the celebrities and scholars do! In the end, they still have to call the police station. At that time, our military and police went in unison to calm the incident... As for how to deal with the reactionary students exposed in this event in the future, I think... haha, any small leader of you know..."

A moment of shame surged in my heart. The matter that Chen Guofu was so anxious that he was overwhelmed was in Cao Xiaomin. It took him ten minutes to browse the newspaper, and he thought for ten minutes and set up the plan in twenty minutes to solve it! But it was not over yet. In the evening, Chen Guofu really saw the scene where Cao Xiaomin could establish supreme prestige among the three armies!

The flags were flying, and the souls on the battlefield of Daya Bay seemed to be condensed in the north wind. At the foot of the mountain were corpses that could not be seen in the edge of the mountain, which were neatly arranged. These were the corpses, and there was an invisible ravine filled with Japanese corpses.

The deserters who had collected the bodies stood in a neat square formation. The sound of cannons from afar made them even more tragic. Cao Xiaomin climbed to the temporary station set up with bamboo and wood...

"...We won a great victory in this battle, and we suffered heavy casualties. But do you know what to say in the rear?" Cao Xiaomin paused and said, "Someone told me, Chief Cao, this move is really good. I will destroy them all and save them from suppressing bandits..." Cao Xiaomin's words caused a stir. They felt the encounters of these troops being strictly guarded by militias in various places along the way, but they still didn't know if they were bandits in the eyes of others after putting on military uniforms! The battle was like that, and everyone was almost dead, and they even regarded us as bandits! Tears of anger instantly filled countless pairs of eyes...

"What I want to say is that from the day when everyone put on military uniforms, there are no bandits here, there are only national soldiers who are brave enough for the country and the nation to survive!" Cao Xiaomin continued: "There are also people who deliberately slander our battles, saying that we are falsely reporting on the achievements and asking for credit, and saying that we have lost the battle... Brothers, tell me, did we win or lost in this battle? Are the Japanese dead more or fewer than us!?"

"We won! We won! We won! The Japanese died more than us!..." The angry soldiers burst into tears, and some of them were already in a state of madness; they didn't wear military uniforms for a long time, but they were soldiers; soldiers can die but cannot be deprived of their honor!

"If they don't believe it, let's have another fight!" "We are the iron army, we defeated the Japanese!..." All kinds of suppressed emotions that had carried the brothers who died for the country broke out in an instant. They forgot the tragic tragedy on the position, they forgot how many brothers and sisters were separated by yin and yang, and they forgot that they were deserters!

There are no deserters here, and everyone is waving their fists and shouting. They know to cherish their honor. They are soldiers!

"History can be tampered with, but it will never be completely annihilated. The truth will remain in the hearts of the people and will bloom at the right time! Your achievements and the feat of fighting for the country will definitely be remembered by our descendants, will be spread and will be remembered forever!" Cao Xiaomin continued to roar: "In Chongqing, there are people in the whole country who deliberately slander us and slander our soldiers who fought for the country. Their faces are ugly, and they will eventually be choked to death by their own lies! However, as soldiers, we must be able to bear all slander and indifference; because we are doing this for this

Fight for the country, fight for this nation, fight for our descendants, we are not for a certain person or a political party!... As soldiers, we must bear all grievances and insults today, because we still shoulder our mission, and we must make a bloody way for this nation and our descendants to survive!... Some people say that the phenomenon of deserters on the front line is very serious, and I hope I will come down and see it myself; but I didn’t see a deserter, I only saw a group of warriors who were tired of fighting and thought of resting for a while; I only saw a group of men who never left their brothers and returned to the battlefield to collect corpses for their brothers!..."

No one can do it except him, because he himself attacked from the most grassroots soldier! Chen Lifu suddenly understood something: Cao Xiaomin knew when every soldier thought, he knew what to say to the soldier at the time, and his words could be better than the countless others did in the hearts of the soldiers...

Without shooting a person, without punishing a person, without even a scolding, Cao Xiaomin sent back the souls of the three armies. It was not the souls of 20,000 deaths, but the military souls of the survivors!
