Chapter 187 The commissioner is very angry
More than an hour after the battle ended, the Japanese army that captured the Presidential Palace searched inside and outside, but there were no hidden survivors. The Japanese army did not give up searching in several basements of the Presidential Palace.
For these Japanese devils who were responsible for cleaning the battlefield, they were very passionate about cleaning the battlefield. Any valuable thing was difficult to escape their plunder. Even if it turned into a ruined presidential palace, there were still many good things.
Similar to ancient books and calligraphy and paintings, even the ancient and exquisite ceramics, these Japanese devils will not let go. They will first gather the plundered things into a room, and then a dedicated person will be responsible for registering and making the books.
If it is some small and exquisite jewelry or antiques, many Japanese devils will find ways to hide it privately and regard it as their own spoils. Under this kind of search like a three-foot-scratch search, who would guess the danger hidden underground?
It was originally seen that the sky was getting dark, and there had been no gunfire from the Presidential Palace for a long time. When I was in the safe area, I was so sad that I knew that the Jinling Death Soldiers Camp that was standing by the Presidential Palace might be wiped out.
As a result, at this moment, the Presidential Palace once again heard the sound of a shocking explosion. Countless huge explosion flames soared into the sky. People from several miles away could see the explosion flames soaring into the sky. Many people knew that the explosion should have come from the Presidential Palace.
Thinking of this, the people immediately said: "Is there anyone living in the Dead Soldiers' Camp?"
"Even if there are still people alive, the explosion will probably not survive. Oh my God! How much explosives have been buried!"
It is enough to imagine that the amount of explosives buried must be quite large. In fact, these people are right. Half of the explosives collected from the ammunition warehouses of various troops in the city were buried in the presidential palace.
During the war earlier, the explosives were buried underground and the wires that opened the detonator were not connected. It was not until Chen Gongshu began to arrange the retreat that his team members were arranged to connect all the wires.
Even if the Japanese who entered the Presidential Palace saw wires in the corner of the collapsed house, they would not suspect that one end of the wire was a pile of explosives with detonators. As the ruling place of a government, the Presidential Palace naturally had electricity and lights installed on the office.
The explosion was not started at the first time, and it was more for the safety of retreat. As the explosives buried underground were detonated, the underground passage that had previously retreated was also blown down. In this way, the Japanese could not see this retreat passage excavated underground.
Even for safety reasons, Chen Gongshu buried several special bombs provided by Hu Biao in the pile of explosives. The explosion soared into the sky, and occasionally gave off a pungent and fatal smell, which made the Japanese who were about to rush in to rescue a daunt.
Seeing the Presidential Palace that was reduced to the sea of fire and the house that collapsed again, the Japanese brigade commander who was staying outside said in horror: "Hurry, wear a gas mask immediately, and be sure to rescue the division commander! Hurry!"
Out of the Jinling Death Soldiers Battalion, which used special bombs in both blocking and breaking wars, most of the infantrymen of the 18th Division of the Japanese army, who were ordered to attack, carried gas masks. Seeing the yellow smoke coming out of the explosion, many Japanese soldiers knew what it was.
Even the two military commanders who were responsible for the launch of the explosion in the end would never have expected that when they launched the explosion, Sadao Utsushima, the commander of the 18th Division, happened to come from the rear command center to inspect the results of the battle, and entered the core area of the presidential palace.
The result was obvious that when the Japanese in charge of the periphery was already dead, they rushed into the presidential palace filled with smoke and yellow smoke. Finally, when they found out from the surviving soldiers that the division commander was in, they found that the house that had not yet stood firm had collapsed.
The anxious Japanese brigade captain immediately shouted: "Go, go find tools immediately. Even if you dig with your hands, you have to dig out the division commander's body. Damn, what is the search team doing for? Why doesn't there be an explosion trap in the presidential palace?"
Faced with the roar of the Japanese brigade captain, the soldiers under their command did not know how to answer. They only knew one thing: the entire division lost more than half of its strength, and eventually they were only a presidential palace that had completely become ruins.
After this explosion, this presidential palace, which had completely turned into ruins, had no meaning to rebuild. For a long time, this ruin would be in a forbidden area where no one could get close to, and the residues of those special bombs were also very deadly.
Correspondingly, the corpses buried in the ruins by this explosion are afraid that there is no need to restrain themselves. Over time, I believe that the bodies of these dead people buried in the ruins may also rot until they completely turn into white bones.
Chen Gongshu and others who were resting in the secret room of the passage naturally heard a huge explosion sound from a distance. Even though the secret room was a little far from the center of the explosion, you could still see the lit oil lamps and candle flames trembling gently.
Knowing that Hu Biao spent a lot of effort to deploy the fatal blow was detonated, Chen Gongshu also smiled bitterly: "I hope the commission will not hold us accountable after knowing the result of the explosion. This presidential palace will probably not be rebuilt for a while!"
Listening to what Chen Gongshu said, Qin Tianyou said directly: "It should not take much time to build a presidential palace. But as far as the current situation is concerned, the commissioners want to recover Jinling, but they are afraid it will take longer!"
From the defeat in the Battle of Songhu to the defeat in the Battle of Jinling, the strongest person in China is still unable to resist the Japanese army's troops. The main force who has retreated to Wuhan still maintains a blocking situation against the Japanese army.
As for the counterattack, in Qin Tianyou's opinion, it is probably impossible for a short period of time. It is almost impossible to defeat the Japanese army, which is currently in full swing, based on the current economic and manufacturing strength of the National Government.
Perhaps as Hu Biao said before, as soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War, they must be mentally prepared for the long-term resistance. Whether they who survived now have the opportunity to see the day of victory of the Anti-Japanese War is an unknown number!
Qin Tianyou, who was talking, couldn't help but look at the room that was temporarily used as a ward. Thinking of Hu Biao, who was still awake, as a subordinate and an old comrade-in-arms, he was indeed a little relieved.
Seeing the worry in Qin Tianyou's eyes, Chen Gongshu could only smile and comfort him: "Don't worry, Brother Hu will definitely wake up. I heard that you were his squad leader earlier? You should know him better, right?"
"It's okay! Speaking of which, this guy's personality has not changed. His temper is as stubborn as Erlangzi, but his luck has always been good. On the Songhu battlefield, this guy was bombarded twice and finally survived.
Especially when I was guarding the Sihang Warehouse, I personally tried his breath and found that he seemed to have died. As a result, not long after he was carried to the morgue, he actually lived miraculously again, and later made so many contributions."
"Do you know what he did before?"
"I know, his identity is very ordinary. He is from Hebei. He learned martial arts for several years from his early years. Later, his hometown was hit by a disaster, and his parents did not survive. When our army recruited soldiers, this guy took the initiative to join the army to have enough food, and I was his squad leader for two years.
Although he is serious now, this guy is not very old and is only twenty-two years old this year. He used to be a fool in the company and has a very stubborn temper. But training and shooting is indeed a good player. Our company commander loves and hates him."
When talking about Hu Biao's incident in the machine gun company, Qin Tianyou also felt that the battlefield was really good at training people. Who would have known that the second lancet who made him worried at the time has now become his commander, which has taught him so much about fighting.
Although Qin Tianyou was also curious about why Hu Biao had such a big change, he naturally would not say anything to Chen Gongshu about these things. Even if he believed that Chen Gongshu had no bad intentions towards Hu Biao, the other party was a member of the Military Control Commission after all!
When the outside world was shocked by the last shocking explosion of the Presidential Palace, Dai Li, who was far away in Wuhan, was also anxious. When he learned that the Japanese army had captured the Presidential Palace, the Jinling Death Soldiers Camp seemed to be killed, Dai Li refused to believe this result.
Instructed the intelligence personnel hiding in the international security zone to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army in the city. At the same time, inquire about the relevant information about the Jinling Death Soldier Camp. As for the interrupted radio contact, Dai Li is also paying close attention.
But Dai Li did not expect that early the next morning after the Japanese army captured the Presidential Palace, he received a call from the camp. Looking at Lao Jiang, who was called in the morning, Dai Li seemed a little worried.
"Yunnong, have you forgotten to report anything to me?"
"Committee, please give me some advice!"
"Show me! What did I tell you earlier? You must save that kid's life, but now you can see that major newspapers are promoting the collective heroic death of the Jinling Dead Soldiers Camp. My Presidential Palace has been captured, why didn't you report?"
Looking at the newspaper thrown in front of him, the title of the page was exactly the report of the Japanese army capturing the Presidential Palace. Dai Li, who picked up the newspaper, could only explain with a wry smile: "Class, can you explain it with Beizhi? I don't think the news in the newspaper may be accurate!"
"What? Is that boy still alive?"
Perhaps during this period, I have heard too much news about Hu Biao, so that Chiang Kai-shek also became a loving talent for Hu Biao. Now that he heard Dai Li prepare to explain, Chiang Kai-shek also heard the news that Dai Li told him that Hu Biao should still be alive.
As a result, Dai Li shook his head and said, "Commissioner, according to the telegram from the non-staff members of the Jinling Left Resident Office, the Japanese army did capture the Presidential Palace before nightfall yesterday. More than an hour after the firefighting stopped, another shocking explosion came from the Presidential Palace.
Although I haven't received the exact news yet, I believe Chen Gongshu should have rescued Hu Biao. Because the matter was too sudden, Chen Gongshu, who had retreated to the emergency shelter, did not have an emergency telegram. The news in the newspaper is not completely accurate!"
"That means, what the newspaper said may be true? Niang Xipi, finally found a general. Could this kid be dead so soon?"
Chiang was still dissatisfied with Dai Li's explanation. But he also knew that there was no need to report the information that had not been verified. But no one expected that a piece of information received by the Military Control Commission soon made the Jinling Death Soldiers Camp be pushed to the forefront again!
