The Chinese and Soviet air forces jointly conducted a three-day "clean-up" campaign against the Japanese invaders who attacked Xuzhou.
The results were extremely astonishing.
Not only did they blow up a number of artillery positions and tank battalions, they also strafed batch after batch of Japanese aggressor troops, annihilating at least 7,000 Japanese soldiers, and dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese aggressors.
Senior Hirohito, base camp and other senior officials thought that conquering Nanjing would be overwhelming.
Unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect.
After Nanjing was captured, the Chinese army seemed to put down some kind of burden, and suddenly understood: the Japanese pirates were massacring in the capital, which showed that if they did not resist, the nation would be wiped out, and everyone's life would be in danger.
Therefore, in Taierzhuang, the resistance of the Chinese army was unprecedentedly fierce, directly annihilating tens of thousands of Japanese invaders.
The same is true in Yichang, Xuzhou and other places.
Every step forward involves paying a huge price.
Especially the Chinese Air Force, like a chicken blood, attacked "crazily" and carried out a large-scale clearing.
The airport, artillery positions, and tank camps were all destroyed like divine help.
Matsui Iwane and Okamura Neiji decided to abandon Yichang and concentrate their forces first to defeat Xuzhou.
Anyway, Yue Feng was in Yichang.
In the past seven days, important people and machinery and equipment were transported to a large university. parts, and the more important ones are shipped first.
Therefore, Yichang became quiet while Xuzhou intensified the fighting.
Yue Feng did not dare to be careless and remained stationed in Yichang.
Twenty days later, all the talents and machinery and equipment stranded in Yichang were successfully transported away with minimal losses.
The "last vestige of vitality" of China's Patriotic War was preserved.
All people of insight breathed a long sigh of relief and felt that victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan was expected.
Later facts proved that their idea was correct.
The machinery, equipment and talents evacuated from Yichang continued to produce a large number of artillery shells, mortars, grenades, grenades, bullets, as well as aircraft and other weapons and equipment, which were powerful.
Supported the front line of the Anti-Japanese War and made great contributions to the victory of the Patriotic War.
To this end, Principal Jiang decided to hold a grand award ceremony to reward those who made contributions in this retreat.
How will this be awarded?
Principal Jiang summoned Yue Feng to the government to discuss the award.
Yue Feng was not polite and listed a list of seventy-two winners.
The first five were Lu Zuofu, Dai Li, Gao Zhihang, Nova, and Lu Tian.
Of course, everyone who participates in the war will be rewarded, at least one hundred yuan per person.
As for the money, it was Yue Feng who "extorted" US$150 million from Iwane Matsui, of which US$50 million was used for pensions and rewards.
The losses in this retreat were minimal and the pensions were not large.
Principal Jiang increased his number by 16, totaling 88, among whom Yue Feng was ranked first.
Yue Feng simply crossed out his name.
Principal Jiang asked in surprise: "Colonel, what do you mean?
Everyone in the world knows that you have taken the greatest credit for this great retreat.
It would be unfair if you don't reward me."
Yue Feng secretly thought: The first contributor to the Yichang retreat must be Lu Zuofu.
Let the eldest brother shine, and I will not interfere.
He smiled and said: "Principal, the first credit should be yours, right.
As for me, I have no interest in merit.
If you really want to reward me, let me accompany the principal to present the award."
Principal Jiang pondered for a moment and his eyes lit up: "Yes, your contribution is too great to be awarded.
Why don't you and I award the award together?
This is also a special honor."
The plan has been decided and the promulgation ceremony will be held three days later.
In order to keep confidentiality, when notifying the parties, they did not say that it was an award, but only that there was important matter to discuss.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and 88 winners entered the National Auditorium.
Lu Zuofu, Dai Li, Gao Zhihang, Nova, and Lu Tian were placed in the front row.
Dai Li naturally knew that it was about awarding an award, and he was very happy.
It would be wrong if someone else gave him the award, but for Principal Jiang and Yue Feng to present the award, it was a huge honor.
Lu Zuofu didn't know it was an award.
Why, because he is dedicated to doing things for the country and doesn't care about any rewards at all.
Even after the successful evacuation, he resigned as deputy minister and will go to Pangu Island to inspect and prepare to establish the "Pangu Global Shipyard".
Nova saw all the heroes around her, and knew it was a good thing, so she asked Gao Zhihang: "Captain Gao, you summoned us, what's going on?"
Gao Zhihang smiled and said: "Major Nova, don't worry, it's a good thing."
"In your Chinese language, does it mean getting promoted and getting rich?"
Nova asked with a smile.
"It's guaranteed to be a pleasant thing."
Lu Tian on the side said firmly.
Dai Li smiled and said: "At least I have been promoted to one level.
From now on, Captain Gao will be Colonel Gao, and you will be Lieutenant Colonel Nova."
Lu Tian asked deliberately: "What about me?"
Dai Li smiled faintly and did not answer, because the rewards from the "Xiongqi Regiment" were very special, and they would only be awarded and promoted after Yue Feng proposed it.
For example, there was a person named Feng Qianhua.
Yue Feng actually proposed that she be a major general, and the principal actually agreed.
There must be something weird about this.
Dai Li suspected that Feng Qianhua was Hyacinth, a spy who provided a lot of information to Yue Feng.
Without "Hyacinth", at least a quarter fewer Japanese invaders would have been annihilated in Nanjing.
In other words, because of "Hyacinth", the Japanese invaders died more than 100,000 people.
With such a terrifying record, it would be no exaggeration to promote her to lieutenant general, let alone major general.
This is funny, Yue Feng is a colonel, and the intelligence director under him is actually a major general.
This is unique among the Chinese army.
However, no one thought it was wrong.
Based on military merit, it is not an exaggeration for Yue Feng to be promoted to general.
It's a pity that the Dragon Guard family didn't know what they wanted to do, but they just didn't want him to be promoted.
Maybe there is a secret in this, it's so mysterious, who knows.
Of course, the reward of "Hyacinth" must not be made public.
Very few people know about it.
Even Dai Li is just guessing.
At exactly ten o'clock, a loud voice came: "The principal is here, the colonel is here."
Everyone hurriedly sat up straight and looked at the rostrum without squinting.
Principal Jiang and Yue Feng walked to the podium.
Suddenly, warm applause broke out in the auditorium.
Of course, Principal Jiang is fake and is the substitute He Yun, but no one knows except Yue Feng and Chen Cheng.
Even Dai Li couldn't tell the difference, the two were so similar.
He Yun walked to the loudspeaker and said loudly: "Everyone, on behalf of the National Government, I welcome everyone to attend the Yichang Great Evacuation Celebration Award Ceremony.
Thank you."
At this time, the two staff members put down the banner behind the chairman and wrote "Yichang Great Retreat Celebration Award Ceremony" Warm applause rang out again, much louder than before.
He Yun waved his hand and said: "In this evacuation, the fleet was commanded by Minsheng Company General Manager Lu Zuofu, who braved Japanese artillery fire and aircraft bombings to transport wartime supplies and personnel to Sichuan, thus preserving the lifeline of China's national industry. .
Here, on behalf of the National Government, I would like to express my highest respect to Vice Minister Lu and Minsheng Company."
He Yun bowed deeply to Lu Zuofu on the stage.

Lu Zuofu stood up quickly and bowed in return.
Applause rang out, overwhelming.
He Yun said loudly: "At the same time, I would also like to thank the officers and soldiers of the Sino-Soviet Joint Air Force, the Xiongqi Regiment, and the Military Command.
It was precisely because of their active cooperation and bloody fighting that they ensured the safety of the skies over Yichang and made this great retreat a success. success" Everyone applauded again.
He Yun said loudly: "Next, the Colonel Protecting the Country will present the award."
He stepped aside, smiling.
Yue Feng stepped forward, walked to the loudspeaker, and said loudly: "Fellow heroes, you are the heroes of China and the great contributors to the Great Patriotic War.
It is precisely because of heroes like you that the Great Patriotic War will be victorious.
Merit must be rewarded to boost morale.
Now, let me present the award.”
The winners were divided into three batches, and the first batch won the third prize of Yunhui respectively, with a reward of three thousand oceans.
The second batch of three people, namely Dai Li, Gao Zhihang, Nova, and Lu Tian, won the second prize of Yunhui and were awarded 5,000 yuan.
Except for Nova, others are not interested in Dayang, but they are very proud of the Yunhui Second Class Medal, which is a huge honor.
Second class, hard to get.
Even Dai Li can't get it easily.
There was only one person in the last batch, and that was Lu Zuofu, who won the first rank of Yunhui and was rewarded with 10,000 yuan.
Lu Zuofu was very moved.
Although he did not pay attention to honor, being recognized and rewarded by the country was the greatest affirmation and respect for him as a Chinese hero.
In addition, all soldiers participating in the war and staff of the Minsheng Company will receive rewards.
Suddenly, there were thunderous cheers and morale rose sharply.
Yue Feng put down a stone in his heart and drew a successful conclusion to the Yichang retreat.
Next step, we should go to Wuhan:
