Chapter 107 Slap in the face
"Is that?" the American journalist continued to question, "But as far as I know, the Chinese jun team did not lose their will to resist. Just the night before yesterday, they destroyed one of your field heavy artillery brigades."
"Rumor, these are all rumors." Okamoto was waving his hand and continued, "However, I don't hide it from you. There was indeed a problem with the Sixth Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery assigned to the 10th Army. Due to negligent management and improper operation of a small number of artillery soldiers who have just entered service, the shells exploded and lost a lot of artillery."
After a pause, Okamoto Kazumasa said again: "At the end, this is not uncommon in world history."
The American reporter also said: "Mr. Consul said that the Sixth Brigade of Field Heavy Artillery was destroyed by you Japanese themselves, not by the Chinese?"
"Yes." Okamotoji said, "The Chinese army has long lost all fighting spirit. How could it be that the courage to launch a counterattack and destroy the Imperial Army's heavy artillery brigade?"
At this time, another reporter asked: "Mr. Consul General, what's going on with General Tani Shouo?"
"General Tansuo?" Okamoto was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with General Tansuo?"
Standing behind Okamotoshi Matsui Ishione, Honda Suichi, and Fujita Minor were also confused and confused.
"It seems that the Consul General has not heard of it yet?" The reporter smiled slightly and said, "Before I came in, I just heard the Central News Agency of China broadcasting the letter to the Shanghai People's People by Mr. Yu Hongjun, the mayor of Shanghai. It mentioned General Gu Shoufu. Do you want to hear it?"
Okamotoji was silent. This matter could not be stopped, otherwise they would seem guilty.
What's more, Okamoto Jizheng didn't think that Yu Hongjun's letter to the Shanghai People's Association would have an adverse impact on Japan. What Yu Hongjun said was nothing more than some inspiring words, but no matter how he said it, it would not change the fact that Shanghai fell.
With Okamoto's acquiescence, the Soviet reporter turned on the radio and put the volume to the maximum.
The replay began on the radio, and Yu Hongjun's low voice immediately came from the radio: "...The courage of being trapped in battle and the fierceness of death are enough to show the spirit of national independence! Lay the foundation for the rejuvenation of China!"
After a pause, Yu Hongjun said again: "Here, I want to report a great news to the people of Shanghai and the people of the whole country. Late last night, a unit of my 8th Army launched an active offensive in Sheshan Town after completing the task of blocking the enemy, and destroyed the division headquarters of the 6th Division of the Japanese Army, killed the 6th Division leader Gu Suo, and the chief of staff of the 6th Division. More than 200 people were below the 6th Division, which greatly boosted the ambition of our country!"
Hearing this, the entire press hall was in full swing.
Okamotoji was waiting for several people and even more buzzing in his ears.
On the radio, Yu Hongjun's speech continued: "Here, I will also solemnly warn the barbaric Japanese invaders that no matter how difficult or difficult, no matter how mountains and rivers are broken, the Chinese nation will never surrender easily! Ancient saying, "It is better to be broken than to be a complete set of things. Our Chinese people will never forget the ambitions of our ancestors and fight to the end of the war! Long live China!"
The next moment, a faint cry of long live China suddenly came from outside the press hall.
The ambassadors, military officers and reporters present turned their heads and looked out, and saw hundreds of Shanghai citizens spontaneously walking onto the South Tibet Road in the public concession, marching and shouting loudly. The loud sound was so loud that the Japanese Marine Corps Command could be heard across thousands of meters.
At this point, the press conference will not be held anymore.
Matsui Ishione, Fujita Min and Okamoto Masa were all so angry that their faces turned pale and left without saying a word.
In the end, only the Japanese military officer in China, Honda Suichi was left. The Japanese devils said a few irrelevant words and announced the end of the press conference.
At this press conference today, this face was so harsh!
Okamoto said that the country's army had been defeated and completely lost its resistance. As a result, before he finished speaking, he took down the division headquarters of the 6th Division in one fell swoop!
As soon as he returned to the lounge, Okamoto started to get furious.
"Matsui Kan?" Okamoto asked in a bad tone, "What's going on with the 10th Army? The 6th Division was taken down by the Chinese Army last night. Why didn't you say such a major incident earlier? As a result, the matter was made public at the press conference. Do you know how much work I did for this press conference? Now it's all in vain!"
Matsui Ishione felt innocent and frowned and said, "The 6th Division is a subordinate unit of the 10th Army, so you have to ask Yanagawa Heisuke for this matter! Yanagawa is the commander of the 10th Army!"
Okamoto Ji Masashi was silent because he knew very well that although Matsui Ishien also served as the commander-in-chief of the Central China Front Army and was the immediate boss in the name of Heisuke Yanagawa, in fact, Matsui Ishien could not interfere in the affairs of the Tenth Military at all.
At this moment, Okamotoji was saying to his secretary: "You send a telegram to the 10th Army Command immediately! Let General Yanagawa Heisuke give an explanation to our Consulate General no matter what!"
But the secretary suggested: "Consul, you can call the 10th Army Command directly."
"Nani?" Okamoto said in surprise, "Have the telephone line with the 10th Army connected?"
"Hayi!" the secretary paused and replied, "With the efforts of the 10th Army Engineer's Force and the Japanese Concession Telephone Bureau, the telephone line with the 10th Army Command has just been connected."
"Yo Xi!" Okayen immediately picked up the phone and swayed the handle.
Then he shouted at the microphone again: "Click on the 10th Army Command."
...
Almost at the same time, Jinshan Tinglin Town.
Jinshan County has been transformed into ruins, and Yanagawa Heisuke set up his headquarters in Tinglin Town. Because Tinglin Town has a telephone line set up by the Chinese government, the Chinese jun team went in a hurry when retreating and did not have time to cut off the cables. This provided convenience for the Japanese and was able to quickly open the telephone line.
As soon as the line was opened, the headquarters' telephone line rang immediately.
Yamada Tetsujiro immediately picked up the phone and said, "Maxima Maxi, the 10th Army Headquarters."
After a moment, Yamada Tetsujiro stood attentively, bowed heavily and said, "Hayi, Consul General!"
After saying that, Yamada Tetsujiro immediately handed the phone to Yanagawa Heisuke. Yanagawa Heisuke took the phone and said, "Okamoto, I am Yanagawa Heisuke."
There was a roar on the other end of the phone.
"Yankawa-kun, what are your 10th Army doing?"
"The 6th Division Division was destroyed. Why not inform such a big thing in time?"
