June 30th.
Chen Cheng held a press conference in Hankou. Regarding the breach of the Yellow River, he reiterated the statement reported by the Zhongyang Institute of the National Party and said,"The Japanese invaders, who are used to deceiving and publicizing, do not know repentance. They are still in the broadcast and in the newspapers.
The crime of breaking the river and destroying the dike was added to us, saying that we destroyed the river ourselves.”
Reporters from all over the world requested to go to the Yellow River breach site for interviews.
Jiang didn't stop him when he received it, but he secretly ordered the first battle area to quickly complete the "reception" work. When the reporters arrived at the scene, they saw the crevasse that had been " bombarded " and a large number of officers and soldiers and many migrant workers who were " doing their best to block the crevasse."
Later on, the people from the propaganda department and the film studio came to Huayuankou to film the news documentary about the enemy's explosion and the Chinese army and people trying to block the gap to expand the propaganda.
Although this matter was temporarily covered up, some people still saw through it. The French reporter commented in the newspaper not long after:
China was ready to release two dragons, namely the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, to control the Japanese army's life. Even if the lives of ten Chinese people were exchanged for the lives of the Japanese, it was not a bad plan...
III. Political Impact
The facts proved that the propaganda strategy of breaking the levees, which was gradually implemented on June 9, had effectively aroused the resistance of the people in eastern Henan on the anti-Japanese front line.
Fighting passionately. As the June 11th Shen Bao said,"The enemy's inhumane violence cannot be eliminated."
Destroy my resistance and increase my determination to kill the enemy.”Especially in the Yudong region, Peng Xuefeng was in his 'plain guerilla.'
The practical experience of war described it this way:
Eastern Henan, Northern Wanbei, and Northern Jiangsu are the birthplace of famous secret societies and armed sects in history. If you're not careful, you'll die.
All of a sudden, they fired three cannons and the villages gathered. Everyone moved out, and a bloody tragedy was about to happen.
In addition, this area had already suffered the brutal ravaging of the Japanese army during the Xuzhou Battle. Therefore, after the dike burst, it faced the Japanese invasion.
The people of eastern Henan organized themselves and set up guerrilla groups, guard squads, self-defense groups, as well as the Red Society and the Yellow Spear Society.
, Wondrous Dao Association, and various other armed groups to protect their homes. There was a commander every three miles and a captain every five miles. There were many names and the atmosphere was hot.
Teng.
More importantly, the enthusiasm of the people of eastern Henan to resist the Japanese and join the army was aroused. Like in Xinzheng
On June 11th, under the leadership of Captain Chen Xin, the County People's Self-Defense Force actively assisted the 20th Division of the Chinese army in attacking the Japanese army in Weishi.
He killed more than 20 enemies and obtained two machine guns and more than ten rifles. The National Party also recognized this point. Bai Chongxi on July 24th
When he specifically called Jiang, he pointed out the northern part of Anhui, which was connected to eastern Henan. This time, we were destroyed by the enemy
"They have organized armed forces for self-defense and guerrilla warfare everywhere, which is effective from time to time. Moreover, they have a harmonious relationship with the garrison, numbering more than 100,000."
The plan was to use more than one division of the official army to coordinate with the people's armed forces, and to appoint a special person to unify the command in order to achieve practical results.
The enemy's north-south traffic will make the enemy exhausted, which can actively contain the enemy's strength, make it easy to fight in Jiangnan, and prevent local able-bodied men from being requisitioned by the enemy.
The cost is small, but the benefits are great." After that, the Guomindang began to contact and gather the scattered anti-Japanese armed forces in the area.
They became a multi-route "pan-area anti-Japanese advance team". At the same time, the Kuomingtang military system also set up a special organization in this area to deal with hardcore Han people.
Traitors and important figures of the Japanese puppet Yudong Special Operations Team.
On August 15 th,"Shen Bao"(Hong Kong version),"The People's Armed Forces in Henan Province" described it as such:
The people of Henan Province were strong, and the average physique of the people was very strong. Therefore, the able-bodied men in the province were more popular. In addition to the state's legal recruitment of able-bodied men in Henan Province, the various ministries also sent their own people to recruit. As of the end of last month, at least 400,000 people had been recruited in Henan Province.
