Chapter 226: The Citizens’ Joy
In the Foreign Public Concession, when the war photographs of the Japanese Army’s 20th Division in Beiping City being hit by a large number of explosive packages ambushed inside by Zhou Wenhua, resulting in massive casualties, were published as front-page headlines by various foreign newspapers for promotion, it immediately ignited shock, shock, and boiling heated discussions among all citizens in the whole city.
“Hiss! Bombed well! These damned Japanese invaders, bombed too well! These German-equipped troops really did a great job! I thought they had also sneaked out of the city under cover of night like the remnants of the 29th Route Army! Now I was wrong! They were luring the enemy deep, giving these invading Japanese invaders a hard blow! Everyone quickly look at the newspaper, so many Japanese people were killed or wounded! This battle was really too brilliant!”
“Saw it! Saw it! Now the whole city is discussing this matter! But I heard that these German-equipped troops really evacuated most of their troops, leaving only a portion of the rear-guard combat troops and tank and vehicle troops to continue fighting to the death with the Japanese invaders! Look at their fearless charge and kill into the Japanese invaders’ troops scattered with casualties from the bombing, continuing to finish off and slaughter, it was really too heroic! Unfortunately, they had no follow-up reinforcements! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have evacuated!”
“Yes! If they had reinforcements for support operation, how could they have evacuated? Moreover, during the evacuation, they evacuated quite a few citizens in advance, and then left behind such a suicide squad for rear-guard operation, fearlessly continuing to resist Japanese invaders without fear of death!”
“Yes! If I could do something for these brave brothers, that would be great!”
“The problem is we don’t even know which German-equipped troops they are! How to support them? Originally I wanted to donate money and supplies to them, but now we still don’t know their designation!”
“Yes! These foreign newspapers and domestic newspapers still haven’t announced which German-equipped troops this one that bravely killed Japanese invaders is, we really want to properly thank them and donate money to them for resisting Japanese invaders’ invasion! I even want to join them to kill Japanese invaders together!”
“What do you think the subsequent battle situation will be like? I just want to know, once Beiping falls, where will the Japanese Army’s edge of the army attack? At that time, how will our National Revolutionary Army troops confront the menacing Japanese Army?”
“Who knows! If you want to know, just keep reading the newspapers, and it has to be foreign newspapers, because they were the first to report news on the battle situation over there in Beiping! I heard they sent some fearless war reporters, stationed there 24 hours a day!”
“Don’t you care where the citizens and German-equipped troops who have already evacuated from Beiping City have gone?”
“What’s the use of caring, still read the newspapers! We’re so far from Beiping, we simply can’t know the news from there. Now besides getting news from newspapers, what else can we do? Moreover, even if we’re in Beiping now, but the city gate has been breached by the Japanese Army, and such a fierce war is breaking out, we’re probably all in danger of our lives! How to get even newer news?”
“When will those foreign newspaper offices release even newer news? I’m anxious to know the subsequent battle situation!”
“I also want to know!”
As more and more citizens in the Foreign Public Concession burst into heated discussions,
Various topics and remarks were discussed heatedly by these citizens.
And at this time,
Over in the capital Nanjing, Chairman Chang was also in his mansion, looking at these latest newspapers with news on the Beiping battle situation, constantly clapping and cheering.
“Good! Bombed too well! These damned Japanese invaders really should all be bombed to death!”
“It’s just a pity that these German-equipped troops are not under my command, otherwise I would definitely reward them with the Blue Sky with a White Sun Flag and monetary rewards!”
Chairman Chang praised endlessly.
And Boss Dai and Wang Shihe the Guard Captain were also standing by the side, waiting for Chairman Chang to finish praising.
